Forced Out of the Darkness (13 page)

“You
want something to drink?”

“Sure
what do you have?”

“Something
that I think you are going to like…can I surprise you?”

 “Monti.
I am up for a surprise or two today.”

Moments
later, Monti emerged from the kitchen with a glass of white wine.

“Thanks.”
Cameron said. “What kind is it?”

“It is a Riesling
Spätlese.
” Monti replied trying
to pronounce it as a German would but failed to do a good job of it.

Cameron raised his
glass in a toasting manner for Monti’s efforts at dinner. “To new experiences.”
They both raised their glasses in the air and took a sip of the wine.

“Oh, it is very nice. Thank
you.” Cameron said approving Monti’s choice.

“I thought you would
like it.”

Next Monti brought out
two wooden TV tables. “I guess this was his idea of special and romantic.”
Cameron thought as he sipped his wine and smiled at him. Monti brought out the
salad. It was a beautiful dinner salad with an Iceberg/Romaine mix with
cucumbers, tomatoes, shredded cheese and croutons. He offered Cameron a choice
of Italian or ranch dressing. Cameron chose ranch and they both sat down to
start dinner across from each other. The food smelled delicious and Cameron could
not help but to comment about it.

“What is the main
course? It smells delicious.”

“Stuffed chicken breast
with a cheese sauce, smashed red potatoes, broccoli and yeast rolls.”

“Wow that sounds
great.” Cameron could not help but think how nice this gesture was. “Do you do
this for all the guys you are trying to catch?” Cameron joked.

“No, just the light
skinned sexy ones.” Monti joked back.

They ate dinner across
from each other and continued to talk about their various dreams and
aspirations. Monti talked about his aspirations to obtain his doctorate degree
and wanting a partner for life. Cameron talked about wanting to make
six-figures and live comfortably. “So, what happened in your last relationship
that makes you single today?” Cameron asked.

“My ex could not be
faithful so I had to leave him.” Monti said as matter of fact.

“Wow, how did you find
out?” Cameron asked…the hairs on the back of Cameron’s neck stood up. “I guess
it is cold in here.” He thought.

“His routine started
changing. He was not answering my phone calls and then I followed him and found
him going to another guy’s house. When I confronted him, he started stuttering
and tried to come up with a lie. He was caught red handed so I broke it off
with him immediately.”

“Why do you go through
such lengths to prove something…if you felt he was cheating or had proof, why
did you even need to have a conversation?”

“I wanted to see if he
would tell the truth.”

“Were you going to stay
with him, if he told you the truth?”

“No, I was just going let
him know that I knew the truth and then leave his thirsty ass.”

“You still sound
angry.”

“Hell yes, I’m still
angry. I can’t believe that that asshole would cheat on me.” Monti said. Though
his version of the story was completely fabricated, he lived this lie daily.

“You are going to have
to let that anger go at some point. It will end up consuming you and make you
crazy.”

“I’ll be alright. I can
handle it in my own way, in my own time.”

“Ok, if you say.”

“Anyway, let’s get back
to our dinner.” Monti said with a smile.

Cameron knew what he
was hearing and he knew that there were some issues with this but something
about Monti intrigued him. Cameron knew that Monti was a ride and he wanted to
know more about this man and wanted to stay on this ride. They continued to
talk.

“Why are you single,
Cameron?”

“I am single not
because I wanted to be, but out of circumstance.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means that I should
not be single right now. I was in a great relationship with Guy. We were made
for each other and we had genuine love for each other. I have been
contemplating changing jobs and would not be able to maintain a bi-coastal
relationship. I offered for him to move here to be with me but he had some
reservations about that. He did not want to have to go into the job market
again. It pained me but we had to part ways. I am not even sure who made the
decision or if we made it together. We were great together though, he accepted
me for who I was and I gave him the same in return. We are not necessarily on
speaking terms right now but I do hope that we will be able to be eventually.”

“Why would you want to
have communications with your ex? He should have moved here to be with you. He
obviously didn’t know what he had.”

“Because our
relationship was beyond anything that you would want to just throw away and
never have that good thing in your life again. When someone loves you
unconditionally you want to cherish that and keep it with you for as long as
the Creator allows you to keep it. It does not mean that we are going to ever
get back together, it means more that I have the security of knowing that I
have someone in my corner that I can call when or if I need to. Love can endure
to produce a great friend that is connected to you on a deeper level than most.”

“I don’t keep things
going with my exes. Once it is over, it is over and I don’t look back nor do I
go back.”

“Why are you so willing
to just throw something away because you don’t have the relationship anymore. Did
they mean anything to you outside of a sexual partner?”

“Not when we are not
together anymore.”

“Have you ever been in
love before? Have you ever loved someone in good and in bad?”

“If it is bad enough to
break-up then there is no need to have anything to do with them anymore. I only
deal with my ex-wife because of the kids.”

“Monti, what brought
you to the point of being so callous? Your heart is hard…that could be another
reason you have those insecurities because you don’t care.”

“It could be, I don’t
know. I wanted this to be a nice dinner and you have not got to the best part
yet.” Monti said trying to avoid the conversation. “Cameron, are you ready for
my surprise dessert?”

“Sure thing, Monti. I
am ready. What is this surprise?” Cameron let the day go as Monti planned it. He
was reassured that Monti had a different outlook on life and on relationships. Cameron
had to make a mental note to accept Monti where he was at and hopefully help
him to be a better person.

“Close your eyes.”

Cameron closed his eyes
as Monti got up from the makeshift table and walked into the kitchen. He got
the dessert that he made, that he had chilling in the refrigerator, and came
back to the living room where Cameron was sitting with his eyes still closed. Monti
placed the plate down in front of Cameron and said, “You can open now.”

When Cameron opened his
eyes he was pleasantly surprised. There on a plate were a dozen fresh red
strawberries covered in different types of chocolate. Some had crushed Oreo
cookies on them, others had sprinkles and some were just chocolate covered. Cameron
was surprised and he wanted to know how he managed to make twelve masterpieces
without the experience of a being a chocolatier.

“Monti, they look
amazing. How did you do this?”

“I just remember one of
the conversations we had before we met. You said you liked chocolate covered
strawberries. I wanted to make sure that you had some and that you could try
different kinds.”

“That was thoughtful of
you.” Cameron said as he got up to give Monti a hug. They embraced and held
each other. It felt good to both men, as they both needed something that the
other offered. Cameron needed to know that he made the right decision to see
Monti. Monti needed to be loved and affirmed. They released each other but not
before Monti gave Cameron a kiss on his forehead.

“Go ahead, enjoy
dessert; hopefully we can make sure the night stays as sweet as those
strawberries.”

“I am not going to eat
all these by myself,” Cameron explained, “Come here and let me feed some to
you. You have to let me give it to you and you have to suck my fingers to make
sure all the chocolate gets off”

Monti and Cameron sat
next to each other and fed the strawberries to each other. Monti did not leave
any residual chocolate on Cameron’s fingers or his lips. Cameron was glad to
reciprocate the gesture. The intimacy that the two of them created together was
making it hot in the room and Cameron shocked himself by asking, “Do you think
I can get a little more comfortable? I am getting hot.”

“I don’t mind if you do
that…in fact, I am getting a little bothered myself.”

They both disrobed. Cameron
had on only his tan jock strap because he knew his ass was firm enough to not
giggle when he walked. Monti went down to his birthday suit. Cameron looked at
him and made sure to take in every chocolate inch of his body. Monti’s body was
almost hairless. Cameron did not know if he was naturally hairless or manicured
that way. As Monti stood before Cameron, you could see that Monti had smooth
shiny skin. His shoulders were broad and his torso was V shaped. He had a belly
that was not a spare tire because it was not soft, it was hard and tight. His
navel did not protrude. Moving down, Cameron noticed some hair form a happy
trail down to his smooth and dark stiffness. His thighs were solid and thick
like a linebacker. His knees were perfectly moisturized but his feet were in
need of Ling-Ling’s expert hands.

Monti was built like a
black stallion and he was ready to be tamed. He was truly a sight to see and
this physical manifestation of a god made all of Cameron’s senses go on alert. Monti
went over to Cameron and pulled him into his chest. Cameron instinctively
wrapped his arms around Monti’s waist, allowing his arms to rest on Monti’s
nice, tight and perfectly round ass. It was just the ass you would see in a
muscle magazine. Cameron took Monti’s cue as he led him back to his bedroom.

Cameron sat on the edge
of the bed. Monti turned his stereo on and sat beside Cameron. The Patti
LaBelle and Michael McDonald song
On My Own
started to play. “
So many
times, said it was forever.”
Patti sang as they began to kiss again, both
knowing the hurt of losing someone you love. They knew the pain of how love
cuts like a knife. They understood the lyrics that said that this was not how
it was supposed to end. They each allowed the other in to their personal space.
They connected not only physically, but also emotionally and spiritually. Cameron
let down his guard and Monti allowed Cameron to find a spot in his heart.

They held each other
and caressed each other. They kissed each other deeply, as their tongues did
the forbidden dance. They tasted each other’s neck and ears. Cameron’s neck
tasted sweet like fruit, while Monti had more of an earthy taste. Monti slid
down and put Cameron’s pierced nipple in his mouth. Cameron felt a little
warmth as Monti’s skilled tongue rolled the steel around his mouth and sucked
his nipple. Cameron reached his arms around Monti’s back and pulled him in
tighter. Monti took this as a cue to suck harder. The first time Monti nibbled
on Cameron’s nipple, Cameron let out a moan that intoxicated Monti even more. He
worked Cameron’s nipples one after the other, occasionally nibbling on them. He
was amazed to see how turned on Cameron got with his nipples being played with.

Monti knew he wanted to
explore all of Cameron so he moved his attention down to Cameron’s stomach and
his groin by kissing his way down. Monti kissed lightly on Cameron’s sides then
he sucked hard and sensual. Cameron moaned with sinful pleasure as Monti found
more of Cameron’s sensual spots. Cameron bit down on his lip to prevent him
from letting Monti know just how good he was making him feel. Monti would leave
just enough space between his mouth and Cameron’s skin that he could breathe
warm air on his skin. Cameron was completely turned on and his manhood told it
all. He kept his eyes closed anticipating what sensation he would feel next. Cameron’s
manhood was leaking pre-cum to the point where his genital area was pre-lubed
with Cameron’s clear, slick and silky pre-cum. It was so much that as Monti
worked Cameron’s sides and stomach, Monti’s chest was coated with it.

Monti grabbed Cameron’s
swollen manhood and used his hand to draw up more of Cameron’s pre-cum, as he
squeezed the base of Cameron’s sex and ran up the entire length of it. He used
his finger to wipe it off the tip of Cameron’s swollen dick. He had to know
what this tasted like. Monti put his pre-cum covered finger in his mouth and
tasted the sex that Cameron was freely sharing. Monti was intoxicated with the taste
and wanted more. Then Monti did something that took Cameron’s breath away. In
one movement, Monti opened his mouth and took Cameron’s sex into his mouth all
the way till it hit the back of his throat. The warmth and wetness of Monti’s
mouth sent Cameron into ecstasy. He took Monti’s head and began to hold it as
he started to wind his hips in a circular motion. Monti grabbed the base of
Cameron’s sex as he worked more pre-cum out of it. Cameron was feeling the
pressure build in his sex and Monti felt it swell even thicker. Monti then
moved to Cameron’s nutts to allow his manhood to desensitize. He wanted evening
to turn into night then turn into day again.
