Valentine’s
Day 2017
Mutt
woke early on Valentine's day, warm and snug in the arms of his husband. He
sighed contentedly and settled back down in the loving embrace.
The
slight movement roused Jeff who was still a little worn out from their pre-Valentine's
day love making, but not worn out enough to prevent him from leaning up on one
elbow to deliver a tender good morning kiss on his brat's lips.
"Mmmmm,"
Mutt managed to say as he pressed into the kiss.
When
they finally released each other's lips, Mutt turned more toward Jeff and tried
to snuggle back down.
"It's
Valentine's Day, Hon," Jeff said with a smile, "I thought we could go
out and do something today."
"Valentine's
Day is always crazy," Mutt complained. "People out and about all buying
candy and cards last minute, crowded stores, crowded restaurants, waiting
lists. It's going to be too busy out there. Why don't we just stay at home
happy and warm in our own bed all day? There are all sorts of fun things we can
do right here at home, and we can even go to the resort party tonight if you
want."
Jeff
laughed a little and replied, "That's what we've done the past few years,
Hon. Don't you want to go out and have a little fun? Catch a movie, have dinner
somewhere other than home?"
"Nuthin'
we can't do here." Mutt cajoled, pulling the blankets back up over his
head and trying to pull Jeff down under with him. When Jeff didn't follow
immediately Mutt burrowed down a little further and began to give Jeff at least
one good reason to stay home.
Jeff
sank back and let Mutt minister to him with a smile of contentment on his
face. Perhaps staying home wouldn't be such a bad idea after all, he
thought.

Jax
quietly tried to wriggle free from the younger of his lover’s protective arm
but the arm only tightened. Heath’s captive wiggled again and whispered,
“Pee.”
Heath
released his hold as he kissed his boy’s cheek. “OK, but hurry back,
little boy. It’s too early to get up.”
“I
will.”
The
doctor thought nothing of it when his young man left the bedroom instead of
going it to the en-suite. He didn’t want to disturb their older lover so
Jax often used the bathroom down stairs. Heath sighed and closed his
eyes.
Jax
carefully descended the stairs from the second floor. Then after he
relieved himself, he slipped into the spare bedroom. Hidden just where he
left it in the closet was a box from the bakery. He took it out to the
kitchen and after draping the red cloth over the table he laid out the contents
it held. Soon, scones, fritters, muffins and heart shaped donuts covered
it.
Working
quickly and quietly, he placed three plates, utensils, glasses and cups on the
table. Then he set the coffee timer for 8 a.m. He made sure there
was fresh juice in the fridge. Then finally he placed a small square box
on each plate.
Satisfied
with his work, he hurried back up the stairs before one of his guys came
looking for him. After crawling up the bed, he wriggled back into his
place between his lovers.
“Why
are your feet so cold, little boy?” Heath growled.
“Shush,
Doc, you’ll wake up James,” Jaxon whispered.
James
opened one sleepy smoky blue eye and said, "With my sandwich filling
squishing out like peanut butter and the other slice yakking, this slice
couldn't do anything but be awake," he said to his partners. "What
time is it anyway?" he asked groggily.
Jax
giggled. "Now you've done it, Doc. You woke the big guy
up." He stuck is cold feet between Heaths legs.
"Looks
to be 7:23, JW," Heath answered then yipped when he felt Jax's feet.
"Sounds
like we got an excited little brat, hmm?" he asked, becoming more fully
awake now.
"Excited?
I'm not excited...I'm trying to sleep and you two aren't helping."
James
raised an eyebrow. "Putting your cold feet on Heath and talking isn't
sleeping," James said, with a grin
Heath
rolled over on their boy. His mouth found Jax's neck letting his teeth
nip him.
Their
young lover groaned out, “No fair."
James
rolled toward Jax as well and joined in nipping on the other side. He
laughed. "All's fair in love and war and this is love."
Jax
was reduced to a moaning, groaning lump.
James
winked at Heath. "Think we have him subdued now."
Sometime
later the three men wandered into the kitchen.
The
oldest partner headed for the coffee pot and poured himself a cup and then
asked, "Anyone else want some of this?"
“I'll
take a cup, JW," Heath answered.
Opening
the refrigerator, Jax reached for the juice.
The
resort owner’s eyes widened when he saw the array of food set out for them.
"Cupid has been busy I see," James commented and smiled at his two
younger lovers.
"Wasn’t
me," Heath said, "but this could be the reason for someone’s cold
feet."
The
older man poured Heath a cup and handed it to him. He smiled at Jax.
"Thank you honey for thinking of us. This is nice." James indicated
everything set out for them.
"Well,
it is our first Valentine's Day," Jax remarked blushing, "and I
wanted you guys to know how much you mean to me and how much I love you."
James
went over and enveloped Jax in a tight hug. "And we love you too little
one, and I have something for the three of us to do after supper tonight."
He winked.
"And
I got us massage oils in various scents and flavors that we all can enjoy
anytime," Heath said grinning at his men. "But, first, what are
in those boxes, Babe?"
"Just
a little something I thought you guys might like," Jax answered.
Handing a box to each guy he said, "Go ahead and open them."
James
took his and carefully opened it and then looked at Heath as he held up what
appeared to be a metal puzzle piece with JW etched on to it. "Hmm...I'm
assuming there's more of these?" he asked.
"Yeah,
I have one too," the gift giver said holding up another piece with Jax on
it. He laid his piece on the table and then took James’s piece and
connected them. Heath attached his Doc piece to the others.
"This
is perfect, Babe," Heath said waiting his turn at their lover.
James
reluctantly gave Jax over to Heath. He went over to a spot on the counter and
brought out a small package and said, "This is what I thought we all might
enjoy."
It
took Jax a minute to recover from the attention his lovers were showing him but
once he did he took the package from James. "Dice?" Jax asked
confused.
James
grinned. "Yes, a Get Lucky dice game...I thought it might be interesting
for us to play at night," he hinted.
"Why
wait till tonight, JW?" Heath grinned an evil grin at his youngest lover.
James
grinned too. "Hmm...we could try it out now."
"Well,
what are we waiting for?" Jax yelled over his shoulder, halfway across the
living room.
Heath
looked at James then bolted for the stairs.
Laughing James ran and took the steps two at a
time.

Jake woke early on
Valentine's Day and scurried out to the bakery where Brendon had a custom-made
gift which he'd ordered specially for Duke. After picking up a dozen bagels and
a half dozen special donuts, he walked quietly back into the house, knowing
that Duke would still be asleep but not willing to run the risk of waking him
too soon. They'd both had hard weeks and he wanted his lover to sleep as long
as he could.
He put the gift in the
refrigerator, left the bagels and donuts in an airtight bag on the table, then
went back to bed, snuggling with Duke as he did so.
Duke shifted as Jake
rejoined him in the huge bed and mumbled something unintelligible and settled
back to sleep, pulling the other man close.
Jake smiled and wrapped
his arm as comfortably as he could around the much larger man, giving him a
gentle kiss on the neck before settling down. His heart swelled with love
for Duke and he breathed in his scent, wondering if he could keep his promise
to himself and not wake his lover up after all.
When it was about time for
Duke to wake, he smiled down at Jake as he opened his eyes. He kissed him and
waited for his lover's eyes to flutter open.
Jake smiled back at his
man and pulled him down for a kiss. "Good morning-ish, Dove," he
joked when he finally released Duke. He knew it was past three but that
was the beginning of their day according to their schedules. "Ready to
eat?" He couldn't wait to give Duke what he'd bought for him.
Duke nodded. "Yes,
I'm starved," he told Jake with an innocent grin.
Jake saw the smile and his
eyes narrowed slightly, trying to figure out what was going through the tall
man's head. He wondered if Duke had gotten up at some point and seen the
bag in the fridge. "Well," he said, affecting an accent,
"let's go to the kitchen, my prince."
Duke grinned. "Okay
sleeping Beauty." He followed Jake to the kitchen surreptitiously snagging
a package along the way. When he saw Jake turn away to get him food he slipped
it next to his plate.
Jake led his love into the
room and sat him down while he fixed a breakfast fit for a king.
Setting the full plates on
the table he planted a kiss on Duke's cheek before seating himself.
"Dig in, Dove," he invited.
Duke smiled appreciatively
at Jake as he set down his food and did exactly that, dug in.
When they'd finished, Jake
grinned at his man and asked, "Got any room left for a surprise?"
"Always," the
big man asserted with a grin.
Jake got up and turned
back toward the refrigerator to pull out the large bag that had been stowed
inside. "It's not gift wrapped," he admitted with a grin,
"but then I don't expect the wrap or the present to last very long."
He laughed. "Happy Valentine's Day, Dove."
Duke took the package and
said with a smile, pointing to the package by Jake’s place setting, "Happy
Valentine's Day to you too Jake." He opened the bag and his grey eyes went
wide and he grinned as he removed the item which was a huge chocolate heart. He
took a large bite out of it and his eyes went wide with surprise as he realized
it was actually a giant Oreo cookie. "This is great!" he told Jake.
"I'm glad you like
it," Jake grinned. "Now, don't eat the whole thing at once," he
laughed. Then he looked curiously at the bag that Duke had set beside his
plate before opening it. His eyebrows rose. He looked at Duke in surprise, his
smile becoming wider. "Well, Duke," he said, "I'm
impressed! I love it. Where did you find this?"
He began to flip through
the pages of the book, laughing and finding himself becoming a little more than
interested as he paused over some of the ideas and pictures within. He
stood up and gave Duke a solid kiss on the mouth. "I'm looking
forward to making use of this particular present. Where did you find it my
love?" he asked with a laugh. He looked at the cover again and shook
his head in awe as he read the title, Let's Get Naked: The Sexy Activity
Book for Couples*.
Duke blushed. "I
found it on line and thought it might be fun for us."
“I love it, Dove,"
Jake replied. “Hey, I have a great idea. Why don't you close your eyes, flip
through the book and then point at a page at random... that'll be the first
thing we try."
Duke blushed even more but
grinned. "'Kay, I'm willin' to do that." He took the book from Jake,
closed his eyes, ruffled the pages and then landed his finger on a place.
"This!" he told Jake, his eyes still closed.
Jake's grin grew almost
feral as he looked at the page his lover had pointed to.
"Well," he growled, "let's get started then, shall
we?" Without waiting for an answer, he took Duke by the hand and led
him back into the bedroom.
Duke went along willingly
with his lover, complete trust in his man.

Shorty
and Bo walked into the bunkhouse after what seemed to be a very long day at
work. They were dog tired and trudged their way to their room to pick out clean
clothes and jump into the shower. The twins had gotten in earlier than
expected and had begun dinner, which smelled great.
As
the two older men came downstairs, freshly shaven and dressed, the twins met
them at the bottom of the stairs. They saw the twins dressed up like two
cupids, chests and legs bare and wearing sarongs of white cloth tied around
their waists, as well as white angel wings on their backs.
Before
Shorty had a chance to ask what the devil was going on, the twins began to
shoot them with Velcro tipped arrows, some of which stuck to their sweaters.
"Happy
Valentine's Day!" they shouted with impish grins on their faces.
"Please,
sirs, come right this way," Jarrod smiled as he took them by the elbows
and led them down a path made of paper rose petals toward the living room where
a table and chairs were set up in front of the fire place. The table was set
beautifully with a white linen cloth, their best china and silverware and
crystal goblets that the twins must have borrowed from the lodge.
"Please
be seated, gentlemen," Little Jake said in a hokey French accent as he and
Jarrod pulled the chairs out for them.
Once
they were seated Jarrod said, also trying to imitate a French accent,
"Tonight's menu consists of steaks grilled to your satisfaction, baked
potatoes with butter, sour cream and chives, fresh steamed vegetables and for
dessert... oh gentlemen dessert will be a pleasant surprise."
"Would
the gentlemen prefer a nice Cabernet Sauvignon or a Chianti with their
dinner?" Little Jake asked, placing a white cloth over his forearm and
bowing slightly to the bemused men.
"Cabernet
sounds good," Bo said, looking at Shorty for his opinion, his eyes
sparkling with amusement.
"Cabernet
it is then," Shorty said trying not to laugh.
Jarrod
popped the cork from the wine and poured a little into each goblet so that the
men could take a little taste before he filled them completely.
That
done, the boys went into the kitchen and brought out the plates of food,
carefully setting them down before the two men.
"Bon
appetite!" they said in unison as they began bowing out.
"Under
normal circumstances I'd ask what the two of you were up to," Shorty
joked. "Is there anything you'd like to tell me?"
Pretending
to be offended, Jarrod put his nose up in the air and still using the 'French'
accent replied, "Well, monsieur," he huffed, "if that's how you
feel about it my fellow cupid and I will be on our way."
"No,
no," Shorty said placatingly, "this is all wonderful. Thank you,
boys." He chuckled and raised his glass to toast his man, before leaning
over the table to kiss him, the flavor of the wine mixed with the flavor of
Bo's lips.
Sitting
back down he looked at Bo with a mischievous expression and said, "After
dessert I think we should play cards."
"Cards?"
Bo asked, somewhat disappointed at the idea but trying not to show it.
"Oh,
these are not just any cards," Shorty replied suggestively. "I think
you'll like this game."
Bo
caught on quickly and grinned. He wanted to skip dinner entirely but knew that
the twins had gone through a lot of trouble to prepare it and he cooled his
jets... for the moment, he grinned.
Jare
cleared his throat, reminding the guys that they weren’t alone. “You two
enjoy yourselves. Me and Little Jake are going over to the lodge party
and spread some love.”
“Yeah,”
the younger twin agreed, “our quivers are full of arrows and looking for hearts
to pierce.”
Shorty
pulled his eyes away from his lover long enough to look at the cupids heading
for the back door. “STOP, you two aren’t going anywhere dressed like
that. You’ll freeze your, um, arrows off!”
Jarrod
replied, "Don't worry Shorty, it's only a short walk to the lodge. We'll
be fine."
"We're
warm enough," Little Jake said dismissively.
"You'll
be a lot warmer if you two try to leave the house like that," Shorty
growled.
The
twins rolled their eyes and sighed but went back upstairs to their rooms to
dress. They came down moments later dressed appropriately for the weather
in jeans, sweatshirts and warm boots.
Shorty
hid a smile. Jarrod had never been good about tucking his shirt in and the
back of the sarong was easily visible beneath their regular clothes. Bo noticed
also and looked at Shorty, his lips twitching as he tried to hide his smile.
"Alright
then, gentlemen, if there will be nothing else, your desserts are in the
refrigerator, and we'll be back when the party poops out," Jarrod said as
the boys slipped on their jackets, hats and gloves.
"Goodnight,
boys. Have fun," Shorty replied as the twins left, closing the door gently
behind them.
"Did
they really think they were going to get away with that?" Bo asked with a
laugh. "What do you think they did with their bows and arrows?"
"They
probably threw them out of their windows and are picking them up as we
speak," Shorty replied with a grin. "But enough about them.
Here's to us," he said, raising his glass to his lover with a smile.
Bo
raised his glass as well and took a sip. "And here's to a wonderful night
of playing cards," he replied with a twinkle in his eye.
