Disclaimer: This is all fiction for entertainment purposes. I'm not assuming anything.

Notes:This is quite probably not what a lot of you were expecting for Joshua and AJ's visit to Lynz's. I debated over and over how I was going to induct AJ into the lifestyle, and what was going to happen while they were at her dungeon. So rather than over think it, I just sat down and started to free write, seeing where the muses took me. I know it's not hard core ...well as hard core as I tend to write, but it's powerful. At least I found it powerful... so I might be a little biased. There's so much more going on than physically, and that's what I tried to capture.

True Test of Love
by Jules

AJ's stomach was in knots, his hands trembling in anticipation. They had decided that tonight was going to be the night. They were going to go and give Lynz a visit, introducing him to the lifestyle that up until this point had been somewhat of a mystery to him. He and Josh had spent the night before snuggled together in bed, discussing the things that scared them both but also the things that excited them. It was a no holds barred discussion where they could freely speak what was on their minds. Without fear of rejection or judgment. Shockingly, AJ had found out a few things about himself that he'd previously not known, and it was for that reason he was really looking forward to the visit. But he would be lying if he didn't say that part of it scared the shit out of him. It did. And he knew that Josh understood that.

"What time is she expecting us?" AJ asked, curling up on the couch beside his lover. It was a few minutes past seven and they'd just finished doing the dishes from dinner.

JC checked his watch and smiled. "She said no earlier than 10. She's got someone there..." AJ's eyes widened and JC laughed in response. "No. Not like that. She does have a life outside of this you know." When he saw the younger man blush, JC covered his mouth in a playful kiss. Their tongues moved erotically against one another and both men pulled away when they were breathless.

"How many are there?"

"How many what?"

AJ entwined their fingers together, shifting so that he could look JC directly in the eyes while they spoke. "How many servants are there? I mean.. how many does she have?"

"There's three of us in total right now. Myself, a female and she has another male..."

"And me?" AJ's voice was soft, trembling slightly.

"We'll see baby. Don't think too far in advance. See what you think first and then go from there. But yes, you if that's what you want. She really enjoyed meeting you the other night. You made quite an impression on her."

For some reason that admission sent a thrill through AJ's body. He didn't know why, but it felt great to know that he'd impressed her, that she liked him. He wanted to make her proud of him, to know that he'd pleased her. That reaction surprised him and definitely made him want to find out more. About her and everything that

he was feeling. "I'm glad. I want to make her happy." He saw JC smile knowingly at his admission. "What's that smile for?"

"I know how you're feeling right now. It's strange because you barely know her, but knowing that something you did has pleased her makes you feel really good. Almost ..." JC fought to find the right words. "...sexually charged."

AJ moved to refute his point, that it wasn't sexual but stopped realizing that JC was right. Knowing that she'd been pleased with him was arousing. Knowing that if he obeyed her, did whatever she wanted him to do made him hard, made him feel sexy and that he could do almost anything if he put his mind to it. "Whoa."

"Exactly. That's what I'm talking about baby. That rush in knowing that their pleasure depends on you. It doesn't have to be about pain ...I mean, I enjoy the pain. I won't lie to you. But it's so much more than her hurting me, emotionally or physically. It's about that rush of power, either lacking the power or having it."

AJ watched as a transformation took place over his boyfriend, his body began to writhe against his on the couch, a look that he couldn't explain had entered into JC's blue eyes. Unconsciously, AJ's hand moved in between them, cupping JC's erection through his jeans.

"Oh god..." JC moaned, thrusting his hips into AJ's hand. He could feel AJ's breath, hot on his neck and trembled as the younger man's tongue licked at his skin. His hands clenched into fists, grabbing AJ's tee shirt roughly to pull them against each other. Their lips met in a hungry kiss, tongues fighting back and forth, hands roaming and stroking the other to ecstasy. The second AJ's hand made contact with his bare flesh, sliding into his jeans to grope for his throbbing erection, JC pulled back. "No.. we ..." he found his mouth captured in another kiss before he could finish his thought. The kiss broke with a regretful moan and JC stilled AJ's hand which was still in his jeans. "Baby... we can't." As much as he wanted to, he had to stop it before they got too far involved.

"Why?" AJ pouted, his mouth continuing to work it's magic on JC's neck. "I want you so bad baby.. Wanna feel you cum for me..."

"Not now. We can't.. rules... Lynz has rules..." There were times like this that Lynz' rules really frustrated him. Not that he didn't appreciate them, because in the end, holding off made it for a much better orgasm. Plus he loved testing himself, proving not only to her, but himself that he could do it. But as he looked at AJ who's cheeks were flushed from arousal, his bottom lip caught between his teeth in frustration, all he wanted to do was continue with their foreplay. He wanted to cum, only to repay the favour. Possibly a few times. He felt AJ still completely and let his eyes flutter open, seeing the younger man watching him curiously.

"Rules? You're not even there yet?" There was only a hint of whining in AJ's voice, the rest curiosity. It was something that JC knew would take AJ a bit of time to grasp.

"I know, but it's more than just the few hours I may spend at her house ...or that we go to a club. It's about control. All the time. Knowing in the back of your mind that there is something beyond you and striving to achieve that level." JC straightened up, attempting to explain to AJ what he was talking about. "You see ... It's the things we do in our every day lives that contributes to our sexual exploits. It's not how many times you cum, but how good it is. Holding onto that orgasm until the line between pleasure and pain is no longer distinguishable. It hurts not to cum, but you know its' going to hurt even more if you do. But when it finally happens, that hurt feels so fucking good that you can't believe you held off for so long. And then the next time, you hold on for longer knowing that the pay off will be even better than the last."

AJ watched with fascination as JC's eyes danced, the way his voice caught with arousal. "So when you go to visit her..."

"I'm not allowed to cum. Unless the visit is a surprise visit. In those instances I can't help it and there's nothing that I can do about it. But when I've scheduled a visit ...and it's not just me. It's all of her pets. But when I've scheduled a visit, I'm not to cum for at least 12 hours before. No matter how bad I want to, no matter the situation." JC was happy to see that there was no disappointment in AJ's eyes. They got comfortable once again as they continued their conversation. "It's this .... I don't know. I enjoy testing myself. I mean, it's for her as well. I like to show her that I can follow the rules set for me, making her proud of me. But it's moreso for me. To push myself to that higher level of pleasure. To challenge myself in situations and perform to the best of my ability..."

AJ covered JC's mouth with his fingers, motioning for him to stop talking. "Shhh. It's okay Josh. I understand. I might not like it.." To accent his point, AJ brought JC's hand to his groin, letting him feel how hard he was. "But I understand." They sat in silence for a few minutes, AJ's mind reeling. "Can I?"

"No."

"Not even a little?"

"How can you get off just a little?" JC asked, a smile on his face.

AJ shrugged. "I don't know, but I'm sure that I could have some fun trying." He giggled when JC kissed him playfully on the mouth, their tongues just grazing one another. Sighing, they pulled apart and JC checked the time.

"Oh shit babe. We should start to get ready." JC stretched, graceful and catlike. AJ couldn't help but admire his lover's lean frame, how delicate he looked. The most sensual part was that AJ knew that as delicate that JC looked, he was just as strong. You wouldn't know it, but that lithe, fragile frame could withstand a lot of pain, a lot of pressure. That knowledge alone sent rivulets of excitement through his body. Looking at the clock that JC's eyes were fixed on, AJ saw that two hours had passed since they sat down.

"What are you wearing?" He asked, standing up to stretch. JC stood as well and they made their way to the bedroom.

"It doesn't matter what I wear there. My outfit is already there waiting for me."

"But what if you go out?"

"We always meet at Lynz' house. If that is impossible, she will send me a package containing what she wants me to wear for the night."

AJ was further amazed at the planning that this took, the detail to which it was thought out. It wasn't as simple and straight cut as he'd once believed, and he realized to the extent that he wanted to learn. "What should I wear?"

JC cocked his head to the side, looking first as his lover and then the closet where they kept their clothes. Silently, he walked into the small room and started moving hangers around, searching for a few items. Minutes later, he reemerged with a few things in hand, thrusting them out for AJ to take from him. "She will appreciate these pants. She loves leather. Gets her off harder and faster than you would believe. So if you wear them ...well it will start you off on the right foot. And this sheer shirt. She'll be able to see your tattoos ...the muscles everything ..but still, you're well dressed. She hates sloppiness. Hates it when people don't take consideration with their appearances."

AJ scrambled to put on the clothing that JC picked out for him groaning as the leather pressed tightly over his erection. He slid into the pants effortlessly, but found it difficult to pull the zipper up. He jumped when he felt JC's hand swat his away. "Here baby, let me help." JC slid one hand into AJ's pants, holding his erection down while the other pulled the zipper up to the top. Once it was up, with trembling hands, AJ managed to fit the button through it's hole.

"Help my ass. You just wanted to play with my cock." AJ whined, feeling his erection throb harder with JC's hand pressed tightly against it.

With a giggle and a squeeze, JC removed his hand from AJ's pants managing a slightly innocent look on his face. "I don't know what you're talking about. I was just giving you a hand."

"Give me a job with that hand and I'll be a bit happier." Was the grumble he was met with, AJ slinking into the bathroom to check on his hair. While AJ was busy in the bathroom, JC slipped into a pair of loose fitting jeans, a tight tee shirt and his boots, the clothes that he knew Lynz would approve of. As much as she enjoyed seeing him dressed up, she loved how he looked in casual wear. By a quarter to ten, both men were ready to leave, nerves running wild.

"Last chance." JC called, grabbing his keys. AJ slid into his jacket and held JC's out for him.

"You driving?" AJ countered, indicating his position on backing out. JC nodded and they gave each other a comforting smile. This was going to be one wild night.

They arrived at Lynz' at 10:30 sharp. The ride over was silent, both men weighing the evening in their minds. The car was sparked with nervous sexual energy, unable to believe that this night was finally taking place. AJ rang the doorbell, shifting from one foot to the other, their hands clasped tightly together.

"Good evening Joshua." The woman answering the door spoke, nodding her head slightly. AJ was immediately taken by her thick accent, the sound rolling over him like warm honey, touching every inch of him.

"Johana. Good to see you." JC replied, smiling at the woman. She moved so that they could enter, AJ following his lover's lead.

"The Mistress is waiting for you. She said that tonight is a special night."

"That it is Johana."

AJ followed as the woman led them down a hallway. JC seemed to know exactly where they were going and he realized that this was probably routine for them. Something they did every Friday night, and possibly more often. He tried to memorize every moment of it, keep it for later when they were back at the house. They were led into a dark room and Johana flicked on one light in the corner. There were three cabinets along the wall, each engraved with a name on the front. It looked as though they were made of solid Oak, beautifully crafted. As AJ's eyes moved from one to the next, he saw that the one on the end was JC's. With extreme detail, the name Joshua was carved in the wood on the top. AJ couldn't stop himself from approaching the cabinet, running his fingers over the design. The sound of a throat clearing broke him from his daze.

"You will wait outside. In the hall." Johana spoke, her voice not warm, but not angry either. Her eyes were expressionless. As she moved to regard JC, AJ watched as a warmth and tenderness filled their blue depths. "Joshua. Move with haste. She is anticipating your arrival."

JC nodded and waited for AJ to be escorted from the room. When he was alone, he undressed quickly, doing exactly as he'd done for years prior. It was like second nature to him now, knowing exactly what was expected of him. He knew that even though this was their private corners, his and the other two pets', Lynz had her staff check up on their quarters. Making sure that they were kept neat, tidy and the way she wanted it. At one time or another, each of them had been careless and been punished for one thing or another, learning the hard way that keeping defenses down for even a moment would not be tolerated. Once his clothes had been hung properly, his garments for the evening put on, Joshua regarded himself in the mirror one last time, making sure that everything was in place. His wrist bands were tightened just right, the collar not too loose but not too tight and the shorts. Well they weren't shorts, exactly. She had decided to put out a pair of black leather briefs to wear. They were snug enough to show the contours of his ass, his cock, but also compliment the creamy hue of his skin. And by the lack of hair accessories, his hair was to be left down, flowing freely over his face and shoulders. Joshua took two deep breaths, a serene smile covering his face. With slow, measured steps, he walked towards the large door leading to the hall, putting him face to face with AJ.

"JC." AJ exclaimed, jumping as the door opened. He moaned softly when he saw his lover, taking in his appearance from head to toe. He could sense the difference in JC from when he'd stepped into the room and now, but couldn't pin point what it was exactly. He looked calm, relaxed, in a whole other world. It was similar to the expressions he'd seen on Kevin and Nick's faces in Fetish. AJ trembled. He let out a yelp when he felt the sting of leather across his hands.

"You will not speak to Joshua until his Mistress gives you permission." Johana's voice was sharp. AJ's eyes moved from Joshua to Johana and back. The look of confusion on his face was apparent and he felt his heart racing.

JC could see AJ's turmoil and held back a grin. He held it back because Joshua wasn't allowed to respond. There was a battle waging inside of him. It was all beginning, and the only person who could save AJ now was AJ. He had to learn what it was like to be in this position, but it didn't stop him from giving him a discreet nod, indicating it would be okay. The nod wasn't as discreet as he would have liked, he jumped from the sting of the leather on the back of his thighs.

"Joshua. Enough."

"But he.." AJ started, before yelping again, the sting of the leather upon his hands the second time much stronger.

"You are in the Mistress' house now. You will not disrespect her." Johana glared between the two men, satisfied when they failed to react. Straightening her spine, she led them throughout the house, down two sets of stairs to a door. She could feel two very distinct auras about these men. One was apprehension mixed with anticipation. The other was a strong air of uncertainty. Smiling at Joshua she nodded for him to follow, certain that his guest would not be far behind. If he had made it this far it was likely he would make it all the way. But one never could tell. All would be clear when they left later on. Johana could always tell the repeat visitors to the one time visitors. There was always something in their eyes, in the way they left that told her whether or not she would be seeing them again. Thus far, there had only been three strong enough for her to order a personalized cabinet for them. She had a feeling about this Alexander that the Mistress hadn't stopped talking about. It had been a long time since there had been an air of excitement regarding a guest. The last one, if Johana was correct, had been Joshua and that had worked out wonderfully. "Joshua. The Mistress awaits."

AJ watched in silence as JC ...Joshua now, nodded to the woman and moved to the centre of the room, kneeling. Figuring that he was to do the same, AJ moved only to find himself stopped by Johana's strong arm.

"Not you."

"But...?"

"Alexander? You may sit over there." A voice sounded through the room, startling AJ. He had been looking at Johana, and it had not come from her.

"Over where?"

"Over there." Johana pointed to a couch that was along the far wall. "And you are in my house, under my reign. You may not belong to me, but you will respect me none the less. When you speak to me ... When I allow for you to speak to me, you will address me as Mistress." It was then that she appeared from the darkness of a corner, taking AJ's breath away. She wore a short leather skirt, thigh high stiletto boots and a white blouse, tied in a knot just under her breasts, showing off her midriff. Her long hair was pulled back in a tight ponytail, a riding crop in her hand. AJ had never seen anyone look as beautiful as she did at that moment. And if he had, he surely couldn't think straight enough to recall it.

As much as Joshua wanted to turn around and see his lover's reaction to his Mistress, to the whole scene, he knew it was too risky. She would not take well to disobedience, especially tonight, in front of AJ. Instead, he simply remained on his knees, head bowed and hands clasped tightly behind his back. It was like that he would wait for any instruction she may have for him.

"I believe I asked you to move yourself to the couch against the wall." Mistress Lynz spoke with no hint of amusement in her voice. She watched as her pet fought not to turn to assure his lover that it would all be all right. This was a lesson that Alexander would need to be taught on his own, Joshua could not help him now. There was something in the way Alexander was watching her that intrigued Lynz. For that reason, she slowly approached him, walking confidently across the room. "Is there a problem Alexander?"

"N..no Mistress."

"Do you want to be here?"

"Yes Mistress." AJ's voice became stronger, his back became straighter. He turned to see where Johana had moved to, surprised to see that it was just the three of them in the room. She had left without a sound.

"Do you understand what being here means?"

"Yes Mistress."

"What is your name?"

"AJ."

Lynz shook her head, her ponytail flipping back and forth quickly.

"It's not AJ?" When he saw the expression on his face, he added a quick, "Mistress."

"When you entered this house, you ceased being AJ. AJ is how your friends know you. How your family knows you. How you have been trained to know yourself. When you came into my house, my domain, you became Alexander. You are here for a reason that can not be explained to those who don't understand. Those who don't live it. You may not feel it right now, but you are a different person. Want different things ...crave different things." Lynz cocked her head to the side, as if thinking about something. "Perhaps you are still AJ. Perhaps you need tonight to awaken Alexander. And THAT is why you are here."

"I... Mistress?" AJ asked, feeling himself cower under her intense stare.

"Yes."

"What exactly is the difference?" AJ hoped he didn't sound too stupid asking, but needing to know all the same.

"When you find the difference, you will know." Was all the Mistress said before turning abruptly on her heel. "Now, go sit on the couch like I've instructed."

Joshua heard two distinct sets of footsteps and figured that AJ had indeed gone to sit on the couch. When his Mistress stood in front of him, her eyes looking past him to where he knew the couch was, he knew he had been right. Startled, he felt her slap the crop on his shoulder, calling for his attention. "Joshua. Are you daydreaming?"

"No Mistress." He still refused to raise his head, his eyes glued to the ground.

"Good." Joshua heard her sigh and knew she was preparing herself for the evening to come. She would take a few moments to assess him, assess the situation and decide exactly what she wanted to do. What type of mood she was in. For this, he had to remain completely still. Any movement would distract her and only result in punishment. Tonight, he was not only doing this for himself and for her, but for AJ too. "Look at me." She commanded, causing for Joshua to jerk his head up, his eyes meeting hers.

The power between them was electric. AJ could feel it across the room and suddenly felt a rush of sexual energy flow through his body. He waited with bated breath to see what would happen. Thankfully he didn't have to wait long.

"Have you been good Joshua?"

"Yes Mistress. So very good."

"When was the last time you came?"

JC's eyes remained locked on his Mistress', his lips forming a tight line. "Last evening Mistress." He knew never to lie, even when he had broken her rules. She would know the truth anyways, so it was pointless to try to decieve her. Lying would only make punishment worse.

She raised an eyebrow. "How many times?"

"Twice." Somewhere in his mind, JC prayed that AJ would understand this part of the ritual, this part of the game. He knew that it wasn't anything he could control and it was beyond his power now. Joshua pushed any thoughts of consequences out of his head and focused on the questions at hand.

Mistress Lynz laughed. It was clearly a mocking and sarcastic laugh. "Twice? Only twice?" Her eyes flickered up to see AJ's narrowed, regarding her with contempt. She cheered inwardly, her questions bringing forth desired reactions in him. She wanted to teach him pride. To stand his ground no matter what and not let others' perceptions or opinions matter as much as he was conditioned to. "You think that is something to be proud of my pet? Cumming only twice? I came twice while going to the bathroom today. Twice is nothing."

"Yes Mistress." Joshua answered, never flinching at her amusement.

"Yes what Joshua?"

"Yes, twice is nothing Mistress."

"Were you alone? Or were you with someone when you were coming? Both times." As she spoke the last two words she allowed a sharp laugh to escape.

"I was with my lover Mistress."

"Did he cum?"

"He did Mistress." The whole time they were conversing, Joshua felt himself getting harder, his cock pressing tightly against the leather shorts.

"Were you fucking?"

"Yes Mistress."

"Was it you fucking him? Or was he fucking you?"

"We were fucking each other Mistress." Joshua's sarcasm brought him a blow to the side of his thighs with the riding crop.

"Don't be smart with me Pet." Their eyes were locked in a battle of wills.

"I was fucking him." A jolt of excitement flowed through JC's cock at the memory of the night before. He failed to let it permeate his cool exterior.

"Is he better than me? Did he make you cum as hard as I do? Does he feel as good to you as me?" Lynz knelt down, her face inches away from Joshua's so that he could feel her breath on his lips, smell her scent of arousal. She was pleased when he failed to flinch or hesitate.

"No Mistress. He is not better than you, he didn't make me cum as hard as you, and doesn't feel as good as you do. No one is better than you." Joshua leaned into his Mistress' outstretched hand, knowing that it was what she was expecting.

Joshua's voice was soft and sincere, a warmth in his eyes that AJ could not see from his position. AJ couldn't help the gasp that escaped, surprised when he saw Lynz's head snap up and her eyes focus on him icily. "Yes AJ." Her voice was sharp and AJ felt it right down to the tip of his cock, his balls tightening in response. "Do you have something to say?"

"I... But ..." He saw the muscles in JC's back flex slightly and for some reason that caught his attention. When he once again raised his eyes to look at Lynz' he shook his head. "No Mistress."

"Good." She focused her attention back onto Joshua. "So Joshua... What do we feel like tonight?"

Joshua knew that he wasn't to answer that question. There were times when she would ask him his opinion, clear that she wasn't looking for assistance, but more so to hear her own voice talking. He had long since learned the differences in questions he was meant to answer and ones he wasn't. This was one he wasn't. She walked slowly around him, surprising him with a flick of her wrist. The riding crop met the skin of his back with a loud 'crack', the sound startling AJ so much he nearly fell off the couch. JC simply arched his back in response, fighting back the moan of pleasure he knew would only bring forth a second assault. Even with his control, another blow came and his lower lip caught between his teeth.

AJ sat with his mouth gaping open, watching two red welts appear on JC's back. "Don't fear AJ. Joshua enjoys the pain. Don't you baby?"

"Oh god Mistress. Yes." JC's response was a breathy moan.

The Mistress simply smiled at AJ once more, nodding her head in affirmation. Her eyes wandered down AJ's frame to his groin, where she could see a prominent bulge behind the leather. "It appears that you're enjoying it too. Maybe there's hope for you yet. I mean, two orgasms ...very rank amateur if you ask me but I'm sure that we can work on that." Again, AJ's eyes turned into slits, him watching her intensely. "Use that Alexander. That can only help you here. You need to learn where to channel the excess energy and use it for productive sexual energy."

Her constant switching from calling him AJ and Alexander was not lost on Joshua. He knew the game that she was playing, and secure that she wasn't anywhere in sight of his face, he allowed for a smirk to appear. Unfortunately, he wasn't quick enough to remove it. A 'crack' of the crop against his thighs wiped it from his face.

"And what, Joshua, is so amusing? Do I amuse you?"

"No Mistress."

"I wasn't trying to be funny."

"I understand Mistress."

"Stand my pet."

Joshua quickly moved to his feet, fighting the urge to stretch out his legs from kneeling for so long. He stood until she was directly in front of him, staring at him expectantly. "Greet me."

He stepped in, covering her mouth gently with his own. He simply waited for her to take control of the kiss, whimpering as she grabbed a fistful of his hair, twisting it tightly in her hand. When his mouth opened, she thrust her tongue in forcefully tasting as much of him as she could. He simply allowed her to ravage his mouth, standing nimbly while she violated him.

Across the room, AJ watched in silent awe, aware of the complete power that this woman had over his lover. AJ ached to submit so wholly to this woman, to allow her to use him at her discretion. As much as he resented her mocking him, it made him only want to prove his worth to her more. He thought that maybe ...just maybe he understood the differences between AJ and Alexander now. AJ would never think twice about surrendering to someone so completely, so unconditionally. Even with JC, there were parts of him that he wouldn't compromise. Pieces that he just couldn't forfeit. But Alexander, he wanted desperately, more than anything to be at the Mistress' command. Do whatever it was that she requested from him.

She felt the air change in the room and pulled away from Joshua, breathing heavily. Her eyes darted from her pet to the man watching on the couch and she grinned smugly. She had him. She knew she did, but it wasn't enough. She wanted him to want it enough. And at that moment, he didn't want it nearly as much as he would. "Joshua. On the bed." When he didn't move fast enough, she spoke again, this time louder. "NOW."

Joshua's yelp could be heard throughout the room as he scurried towards the bed. His gracefulness took AJ's breath away, the way his body moved across the room, the beauty which he possessed. He watched as

the older man crawled up on the bed, securing his ankles to the foot board, followed by one of his wrists. The other was left free.

Lynz approached the bed, staring down at her pet. "Joshua. You left one undone."

"I would like you to do the honours Mistress. I want it to be you that secures me to the bed."

"Is it not something you wish? You wish for me to force you to be tied to the bed, rendered immobile? As if you were an animal..."

"No Mistress. I want you to secure the final restraint. It is because I trust you that I want it to be you."

AJ watched as once again, something passed between the two of them, the Mistress applying the final restraint to Joshua's arms, pinning him to the bed. He could see in the way that she talked to Joshua, the way she touched him that it was all in love, admiration. But mostly it was respect. She tested the restraint before leaving him there, making sure they were all done up securely but not painfully. There were fleeting touches that he thought that perhaps they hadn't even realized they were doing. Or maybe they did know and that was their point. But with every violent act, there was a corresponding tender one. Alexander's shirt was off before he even realized it.

Joshua watched as his Mistress climbed onto the bed, failing to remove any clothing. From the way she was crawling, he could see that she wore nothing under the skirt. Not that she usually did, but there were times when she would surprise him and wear panties. But never did she fully remove her clothing. Her blouse came off on special occasions, but usually if she wanted her breasts to be stimulated, the fabric was moved out of the way or it was done through it, making things that much more difficult for him. It was always a challenge, and Joshua wouldn't expect anything less.

"Don't cum my pet. Whatever you do, don't cum." She warned, licking a teasing path up Joshua's legs and over his leather covered cock. A few bites were given through the material, causing for Joshua to pull on the restraints roughly, his back arching gracefully, head thrown back. A faint sound of a zipper could be heard in the distance and she stopped all movement, deciding what to do next. Filing it away for later, Lynz continued her path up Joshua's stomach to his chest and ending at his mouth, biting roughly on his lips. "Get me off." She commanded, sitting back and crossing her arms over her chest.

Alexander's hand slid into the hot leather to grasp his throbbing cock firmly. Nothing all too shocking had happened, but just watching the two of them in action was driving him absolutely insane. He needed to cum, and knew that it wouldn't take much at this point. The air was thick with sex. It amazed him how much of an aphrodisiac power could be. Aside from the few strokes of the riding crop, there hadn't been any physical pain administered. Something that JC had told him about, that it wasn't always about pain, but AJ couldn't believe it. It didn't fit the mold that he'd had in his head about S&M. But now, watching Joshua and Mistress Lynz in action, he understood it a lot more. This truly was a night for revelations and he found himself sitting on the edge of his seat, eagerly anticipating more. If Joshua's hands and feet were tied, he wondered how it was that he would get his Mistress off.

Joshua smiled innocently at his Mistress, anticipating this command. It was something that she had attempted with Nick at Fetish and he'd disappointed her. Joshua was fairly confident that he would not meet the same fate as the blonde. "Mistress, please. Straddle me facing the other wall." Joshua suggested, working out in his mind what he was going to do. There were times that she'd done this, put him in a situation where he was at a handicap of some sort and demanded that he get her off. It was up to him and his creative powers to best assess the situation and do what he could. He let out a deep breath when he watched his Mistress unfold her arms from her chest, moving sleekly up his body.

"What do you plan on doing Joshua?" Lynz asked, writhing against his body teasingly.

"Perhaps you should do as I've asked and you'll find out Mistress." Joshua answered with defiance, anticipating the reaction it would invoke. Without disappointment, he watched as she reached down and tweaked his nipples painfully before grabbing his cock and squeezing with enough force to make him wince.

"Just because your boy toy is here, it does not afford you the leniency to talk back to me Joshua. Perhaps we will show him what it's like when my pets misbehave. What type of punishment he can expect if he is going to be as insubordinate as yourself." Lynz's voice was threatening and both men could see how serious she was by the evil gleam in her eye.

AJ sighed as Joshua moaned. He almost was insulted by her trivialization of their relationship, references to his being JC's boy toy, but somewhere in all of it he realized that it was her angle. Her game. Using whatever she could to elicit her desired reaction in them. It was said purposefully and not always with serious intent. Her eyes had lifted from Joshua's face to meet his, their gaze intense across the dark room. Alexander could see a fleeting expression of shock pass through her eyes at his refusal to react to her words. That look of shock turned quickly to one of smugness, perhaps even respect. She looked slightly impressed and suddenly his fist began working his cock harder and faster, his free hand moving down to cup his balls gingerly. Alexander

was now slouched on the couch, his head thrown back, eyes half lidded and his hands working him closer to the orgasm he so desperately needed.

With their eyes still locked, Lynz turned herself completely around and threw her boot covered leg over Joshua's body, straddling him backwards. Placing a gentle kiss on Joshua's stomach, which was now covered in a thin layer of sweat, Lynz inched herself backwards towards his face. She paused slightly when she felt a gust of hot breath on her thighs, knowing that she was almost at her desired location.

"Just a little more Mistress. I can almost taste you." Joshua whispered, blowing directly onto his Mistress' dripping wet vaginal lips. Her scent filled his nostrils, the heat escaping her exposed hole teased him mercilessly. He loved how she kept herself completely bare except for one triangular patch of hair on the front, pointing directly to her sweetness. Her pussy lips were swollen with desire, almost directly in front of him and Joshua felt his mouth water at the thought of tasting her. Extending his tongue, he just grazed the slick skin, straining his neck to get closer. In an act of generosity, his Mistress backed up a few more inches, putting her dripping center in tongue's reach, crouching erotically over his face. Joshua could feel her breathing ragged against his stomach, the way her teeth would bite at his skin in frustration and he knew that she was waiting, that he had to please her and do it quickly.

Alexander's pants were undone and around his ankles, one of his fingers rimming his asshole purposefully. Joshua was eating his Mistress out furiously, slurping sounds and moans of appreciation echoing off the walls. Although she had a look of pure boredom on her face, he could tell that she was close to cumming, her lip quivering slightly. She began nuzzling her face into Joshua's groin, raking her blood red nails up and down his thighs roughly. Softly he could hear her mantra all the way across the room where he sat.

"Don't cum my pet. Don't you dare fucking cum."

Joshua knew that he'd had enough and he could tell that Mistress Lynz had had enough. The time to play with her was over and it was time to make her cum. And cum hard. As hard as he was working on pleasing her, he was working just as hard on refraining from cumming himself. Just knowing that AJ was across the room, experiencing this all first hand, as well as being with his Mistress again after a rather prolonged period of time was all working on testing his ability to maintain control. He heard his Mistress inhale a sharp breath and knew she was about to say something. Her fingernails dug painfully into his skin and at that second, he closed his eyes and bit down roughly on her clit, sucking and licking it gently afterwards. Mistress Lynz cried out and trembled violently, thus causing for him to do it a second time, pleased when she climaxed, filling his mouth with her juices. He continued to lap at her clit, thrusting his tongue as deep into her spasming hole as he could.

It was always better with Joshua than with anyone else. Although she would never admit this to anyone, and sometimes not even herself, he had somehow managed to get deeper into her heart than anyone ever could. At least anyone that she had this type of relationship with. He wasn't her first, and she knew that he wouldn't be her last, but he was the only. The only one that she could say that she felt more than was healthy in their relationship. She knew that Kevin and Nick had a physical, emotional and sexual relationship with their pets outside of the club, outside of their roles, but it wasn't anything that she had ever wanted with any of hers. But she would be lying to herself if she didn't admit she'd thought about it with Joshua. On more than one occasion. But thankfully it had been just that, a fleeting thought, a passing idea and no actions had been taken to bring the relationship up a level.

There had been something when he'd finally come to her that caught her attention. It was like he was trying to prove something to someone. At first she thought it had been her, that he was trying to prove to her that he wasn't what the media had made him out to be. Some pretty boy, queer, boy band puppet that did what he was told, liked what he was instructed to like and didn't have a single intelligent thought in his mind. In thinking that it was her he was proving his self worth to, she'd laughed and turned him down. She wasn't looking to role play with someone who wasn't in it for the long haul. She was no 'project' for anyone, no matter how rich or pretty they were. But when his persistence continued and he wouldn't be deterred, she realized that it was himself that he was trying to prove his self worth to. He wanted to do this for no one except himself, it was then that she saw his potential. "Oh yes Joshua." Lynz couldn't help but cry out, her eyes shut tightly as she arched her back, releasing herself for her pet's enjoyment. For her own enjoyment.

Watching her cum with such restraint, such composure pushed AJ over the edge and he felt himself cumming all over himself. His hand was covered and it shot as far as his shoulder, his chest soiled with white sticky juice. As much as he'd wanted to stay quiet, not call attention to the fact that he was cumming, he let out a low, tortured growl. His orgasm concluded with a yelp and a whimper, both which caught the Mistress' attention and he found himself staring deep into her icy eyes, the glare she shot him enough to bring forth one final load, after which he collapsed against the couch, breathless.

Joshua felt his Mistress relax considerably as her orgasm concluded. There was a fraction of a second where she had let down her guard completely to compose herself, but as quickly as it came, it was gone and she was back in true form. Her movements were quick and precise, and before he knew it she was standing beside the bed, looking down at him.

"Very good Joshua. It appears that you haven't forgotten how to please me."

"Thank you Mistress, it's always a pleasure."

"Believe me my pet, I know how pleasing it is for you. I could feel it against my cheek as my head rested on your thigh." To accent her point, she reached down to gently stroke Joshua's erection. Feeling him twitch she gave him a wry smile. "What did I tell you?"

There was a slight hesitation as Joshua licked his lips, which were suddenly dry. "Don't cum Mistress."

Clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth, Lynz nodded. "That's right my pet." She took a deep breath and adjusted her skirt, walking confidently towards the darkened area of the room. "And you?"

Alexander sat up quickly, fumbling with his pants. He could feel the heat rising in his face, the shame apparent in his eyes. Before he could wonder what to use to wipe the mess on his chest and hands, a towel was tossed at him.

"Clean yourself."

"Yes Mistress." The apologetic tone in his voice caught Lynz's attention. She studied him closer, watching him move quickly. He was hurrying, but there was a grace with which he moved. When he was finished, he folded the towel and placed it on the floor beside his feet, standing at attention. His eyes were diverted to the ground, head bowed slightly. She walked from one side to the other, letting her eyes wander up and down his frame. His hands were clasped tightly behind his back, fingers trembling slightly. The thing that caught her attention though was his breathing. It was even. As nervous as she figured him to be, he seemed outwardly calm. He never saw the smile that crossed her lips.

"Did I tell you to cum? Did I say you could touch yourself?"

"No Mistress. I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself."

"You better help yourself in the future Alexander. I will let it go this time because you're new. You don't know better. But if this ever happens again ...well test my patience and see what will happen. And believe me Alexander," with that, she lifted his chin with her finger, raising his gaze to meet her own, "you will know not to make that mistake again." She felt him shiver, but to her surprise, he did not break her gaze. Instead, their eyes locked firmly and she saw acceptance in his eyes. Acceptance and strength, both things that had been lacking upon his arrival.

"Thank you Mistress." Alexander whispered, feeling his skin tingle from head to foot. Her attention was like an electrical current, sending every nerve on end, and even though he'd cum excruciatingly hard only minutes earlier, he found himself reacting to her presence. It was like it was just the two of them in that room. Joshua had been put to the back burner of his mind, JC as well. Hell, everything outside of the two of them seemed to vanish and time held no importance. There were too many thoughts invading his mind, too many sensations overwhelming his consciousness. Sensing his conflict, his Mistress spoke.

"What is it Alexander? What is it that you want to say?"

"I don't know Mistress." Amidst the confusion he was feeling, there was also a sense of clarity. He jumped when he felt her palm cup his cheek gingerly, stroking the soft skin.

"Shhhh. Alexander. Don't try to figure it all out now. This has only been your first night here. If you try to wrap your mind around it completely, your head will explode." Lynz gave a soft chuckle at the lost look on his face. He looked like a little child and for a moment it reminded her of a time, many years ago when she'd invited JC to her dungeon. A chill ran down her spine and she took a moment to compose herself. "And believe me when I say that you are far too gorgeous for your head to explode. So just let it sink in and when you've a clear thought in your head, we can do this again."

Joshua sighed against the bed across the room. That was the sign he'd been looking for, her invitation for AJ to return. Now, for him to accept the invitation was a whole other issue, but her willingness to work with him was what he had been most fearful of.

"Thank you Mistress." Alexander whispered again, the creases in his forehead smoothing out as his face relaxed. In a bold movement that surprised even himself, he dropped to his knees and took one of her delicate hands in his own, bringing it to his lips to kiss softly. "I am sorry that I've disobeyed you..."

"You did not disobey me. I was not your Mistress and thus you can not disobey someone who does not own you. No orders were given and thus no disobedience could have occurred."

"Still Mistress. I wanted to show you that I am worthy to be here. That I can do what it takes to please you. BE what it takes to please you." The honesty in his eyes took Lynz's breath away and it was at that moment she

knew how JC could fall in love with him, how JC did fall in love with him. They managed to pull you in and take you right to his heart, his soul.

"Are you here for me or for you?" She asked, genuinely curious. His answer to this would give her all the information she needed.

Alexander thought for a few moments, weighing out his answer. He didn't know if there was a predetermined answer that she was looking for, or if she really did want to know his opinion. Taking a chance he spoke from his heart, no hint of embarrassment. "In being here for you, I'm here for myself."

"Pardon me?"

"Mistress. I'm sorry Mistress." Alexander hurried to correct himself. He watched as his Mistress shook her head.

"No. That's not what I was getting at Alexander." She inwardly chuckled at the correction. "What I was asking was for you to explain yourself."

"Mistress, if I may. Although I am here for you. For your pleasure and at your disposal, I am here for myself as well. To bring myself to a higher level of sexual release. For discipline and domination. I am hoping that in pleasing you, I will please myself." He waited for her reaction, relieved to see a smile on her face. In a move he wasn't expecting, she knelt down in front of him, putting them at eye level.

"Alexander. I think you're going to do just fine." Lynz wiped her thumb across his lips, feeling his breath hitch slightly. She leaned in and kissed where her thumb had just trailed, not giving him time to respond before pulling away. "Now, stand up and wait." She knew she wouldn't have to give him any explanation so thus, she stood and headed back to where her pet was waiting dutifully for her. Once she reached the bed she stared down at Joshua, letting her eyes scan his body, still restrained to the bed. "Now, aren't you such an obedient pet tonight."

Joshua waited silently, not moving a single muscle.

"Are you proud of our work tonight? Do you think we have been successful?"

"Yes Mistress." He replied, smiling proudly. He wasn't sure how it would be received, but the moment his Mistress saw the smile on his lips, she lifted the crop from the bed beside him and struck his thighs with it. Unable to hold it back, Joshua let out a cry of pain to which he received another blow, this one directly onto his still hard cock.

"Gloating doesn't become you pet." Lynz instructed, narrowing her eyes. She looked over at Alexander who was watching silently, eyes wide. She then looked down at her pet who was watching her with eyes of admiration and respect. Without speaking, she released his arms and legs, instructing him to move into a kneeling position on the bed. "Look."

Joshua looked across the room at Alexander, an overwhelming feeling of animal lust washed over him. His eyes darkened and he felt his cock throb painfully. He could feel the blood rushing through his veins, leading directly to his groin.

"Look at the man you brought to me tonight. What do you see Joshua? What does he represent to you?"

He couldn't find the words to explain what he saw, how he felt. So instead he shook his head.

"Do you want to cum Joshua? Do you want release for all of that pent up sexual energy that is flowing through your veins?" As she spoke, Lynz crawled onto the bed behind her pet, running her hands up and down his back teasingly. "Can you taste him? Smell him?"

"Yes Mistress." Joshua breathed, his body trembling. He could feel his skin tingling from where her nails were lightly scratching him.

"Yes what Joshua?"

"Everything Mistress."

"So you do want to cum?" She lightly nipped his ear lobe between her teeth, her breath ghosting over his skin.

"Please Mistress." He knew that this was when she would allow him to cum. He'd been holding on for hours, the pain almost unbearable. Not to mention that it had started before they had arrived. Her next statement shocked him completely.

"Too bad."

Joshua gasped as his Mistress held in a laugh. "P..pardon me Mistress?" He must have heard her wrong. She never sent him home without letting him cum. He didn't understand what she was talking about. In a moment of confusion, he turned around to face his Mistress, further disoriented by the smile on her lips. "Surely you're not going to prevent me from cumming..."

"Surely I am Joshua." Lynz spoke, gently slapping her pet's face. The smile dropped from her lips and she cocked her head to the side. "Is there a problem?"

"I ...I guess not Mistress. You know best."

"You're such a little shit Joshua." Lynz muttered, shaking her head leaving the man in question even more confused. "Do you think I'm going to punish you like that?" She crawled around him so that they were facing one another, both on their knees. In one movement, she pushed him back so that he was laying flat on his back, a look of surprise clear on his face. Seductively, she crawled on top of him, putting them face to face. "Now, listen and listen good Joshua because never am I going to be this lenient and this generous again."

"Yes Mistress." There was something in his Mistress's voice that told Joshua that she wasn't joking.

"Go home. Take that fine, piece of ass across the room from us home with you. Then, and only then are you to cum."

"How Mistress?" Joshua asked, unsure if he'd heard his Mistress properly. Her laugh startled him, causing him to chuckle as well.

"Do I have to do everything for you pet? Fuck him. Have him fuck you. Do whatever it is that's going to get the job done, but I think that this is something that you both have earned tonight." Leaning down, she kissed his lips tenderly, allowing for her tongue to sweep erotically throughout his entire mouth. When the kiss broke Mistress and pet were both smiling.

"Thank you." Joshua whispered, leaning slightly so that their foreheads were touching.

"We'll talk later."

Lynz placed one last kiss on her pet's lips, followed by one on his forehead and climbed off of the bed, waiting for him to do the same. When they were both standing, she made her way to where Alexander had remained, not moving from his position earlier. She reached in to place a kiss on his forehead before bidding both good night.

"Joshua. Until Friday night. Alexander. Until the next time we meet. Behave gentlemen."

The Mistress exited the room as silently as she had entered only a few hours earlier, and before either man could speak Johana was standing before them in the open door. "Joshua. Alexander."

The two men's eyes met for a brief second before they followed her back up the stairs, towards the pets' quarters. Once again, as he had before, AJ stood outside the room, waiting for his lover to reemerge. There was something very different about the way that he felt standing in that hallway again. It was only a matter of hours difference, but in that time so much had happened. He certainly was not the same man he'd been then.

In what Johana believed to be record time, JC appeared from the room, hair wild and clothes just barely on properly. Judging from the expression on his face, something had occurred in the dungeon. Something out of the ordinary, as she had never seen such a raw hunger as she did that night.

"Johana." He spoke, his voice low and gravelly, giving her a slight nod. She walked them to the door as she did every time a guest left, properly seeing them out. As they stood on the porch, she gave them both a warm smile. "It was good to see you as always."

"And you as well Joshua. I look forward to seeing you again." Turning to the new man, she smiled warmly, the first time it had been directed towards him all night. The Mistress had already informed her that he would most likely be returning. "Alexander. I hope that you will not be a stranger here."

AJ shivered at the warmth in her eyes, the welcome in her voice. He could only nod his head, reaching between him and his lover to entwine their fingers together.

They made their way to the car, JC sliding behind the wheel as AJ climbed into the passenger seat. AJ didn't miss the way JC would shift slightly every few seconds, as if trying to relieve the tension that had been building in his groin all night. Smiling, his mind was already at the scene that would unfold at home in just a

short while. JC swung the car into his driveway.

As AJ was about to open the car door, JC's hand on his arm stopped him. "There's something I need to warn you about." AJ's eyes opened wide, his breath catching in his throat.

"Usually ..and not just tonight because I haven't cum yet, because like you heard earlier, this is unusual. Like never happened before unusual. I have never left without cumming, at least once. But usually after I've paid Lynz a visit, no matter how many times I've cum ... I'm ...."

"You're what baby?" AJ asked, covering JC's hand with his own.

"I'm usually ...extremely sexually charged. It's just something about the whole experience that sometimes I'm ..."

"Insatiable?" AJ supplied, leaning in to bite at JC's lower lip. JC responded by attacking AJ's mouth, crawling over the seat to sit in his lap, surprising the younger man. They continued to kiss, JC writhing on top of AJ, grinding their cocks together furiously.

"Take insatiable, and multiply that by about a million." AJ had never heard his lover growl like that before, the sound traveling directly down to his cock. "And sometimes it's not just that night ...there have been times that I've just been so fucking horny for days." JC continued to move on his lover, whimpering as AJ pulled away. "Please baby.. I need you so fucking bad..."

"Inside Josh... let's take this inside." AJ's voice was hoarse, his eyes rolling back into his head from the feel of JC on his lap.

They were out of the car and into the house in seconds, JC instantly throwing AJ against the wall in the living room. They'd barely made it past the foyer before JC couldn't hold off any longer. "Now. Can't wait." His hands nimbly undid AJ's belt, letting the leather pants fall to the floor. AJ stepped out of the pants, kicking them across the room. Their mouths were occupied in a steamy kiss as JC's fingers moved to his own jeans, groaning once they were pooled around his ankles.

They both paused at the same time to stare deeply into each others' eyes. Time seemed to freeze for both men as they got caught up in the love between them. JC rested his forehead against his lover's, whispering softly, "I love you."

"I love you."

And as if they both shared the same thought at the same time, their mouths met in a frantically, hungry kiss, tongues attacking each other erotically. JC reached down and grabbed AJ's legs, wrapping them around his waist tightly. He didn't have to prepare himself at all, his cock more than ready to penetrate his lover. "Ready?" He asked breathlessly, almost trembling with need.

"Do it."

Unable to wait another second, JC positioned himself at AJ's waiting hole, thrusting in sharply when they were both ready. He let out a loud scream, and as he was engulfed in AJ's tight heat, he slammed into his orgasm like a brick wall. It was the most painful pleasure that he could ever remember feeling, and as AJ's nails scratched down his back roughly, it only made him work the orgasm that much harder. It took only a dozen thrusts deep into AJ's body for JC to fall against his lover's lithe frame, pinning him against the wall. He was aware that the younger man hadn't cum yet, but it wasn't anything that he could have helped, his orgasm put off for far too long.

"I'm sorry baby... so fast.." JC panted, hair matted to his face. AJ's legs uncurled from around his waist and he pulled out regretfully, not wanting to separate from his lover just yet.

"Oh no.. we've got all night Josh." AJ assured him, kissing his lips gently. "And from the feel of it, you'll be ready in no time." What he was referring to was JC's cock, which was already hardening between them.

The second time they actually made it to the bed, both men cumming together before collapsing in a sated pile of liquid bones and satisfied smiles. This continued on through the night until the sun came up, both men curled together, unable to move.

"Well?" JC asked, his mind back at the scene in Lynz' dungeon earlier that night.

That night. It felt like it had been so long ago rather than just 6 hours earlier.

"Well what?"

"What did you think? About Lynz's?"

AJ could sense that JC was apprehensive, but it was something they would have to talk about. It was best they did it sooner rather than later. "I think I understand a lot of what you were trying to tell me earlier. It's something you need to learn on your own though, not something you can get from someone telling you about it."

JC nodded, knowing that it was the absolute truth.

"There were just so many conflicting emotions ...so many different thoughts in my head that I can't accurately express them." AJ paused to think about what he wanted to say. "But I want to learn more. I want to go back. I know that tonight was just the tip of things and ...." He let out a deep breath.

"It's okay.. you don't have to explain it to me."

"But I want to." AJ settled against JC, letting their bodies mold together. "It was like I was me, but not me. Nothing else mattered except her and what I was feeling. And just the emotion between you both, between herself and me at the end."

"You'll go back?"

AJ nodded, propping his chin on his lover's chest. "Yes. I don't think it will be right away. But when we get back next week, I think ..." AJ stopped, a thought instantly filling his head. "This isn't going to be a problem between us is it? My going to her as well?"

JC shook his head, already thinking of that. He honestly wasn't sure how he would feel knowing that AJ would be with Lynz as intimately as he had been, or even vice versa, but seeing them together that night only showed him how erotic it was. How much it didn't bother him. "No. I'm not entirely sure that she will have us there together very often. At least not at the beginning. You will have to go on your own and develop your own person. I will only be a distraction for you. But it will not be a problem at all."

AJ breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. So I think I'll contact her next week when we've returned from the promo trip and set something up. But after tonight I'm interested in taking it to the next level. Learning more ...doing more...."

"One day at a time baby, just take it one day at a time."

They laid in silence, allowing for the events of the evening to catch up with them. The night had definitely taken their minds off the fact that as of Friday, things would definitely be changing for them. Although it would be months before AJ had to leave to go on tour, once the promotion for the CD started and then rehearsals were set up, they knew that their time together would not only be limited, but the spotlight would be back on the Boys. Thus making it more difficult for them to be together without notice.

That exact thought popped into AJ's mind. "So what's the plan for Thursday night Jayce?"

JC sighed, knowing that sooner or later they were going to have to deal with that. "I thought we were going to spend all night making love and then if there was any time left, worry about what the next while is going to be like."

"I don't know if there is going to be time left." AJ said coyly, running his fingers up and down his lover's chest. "I mean... I have this feeling that we're going to end up staying up all night, making up for the time I'll be away."

"Then I guess we won't have time to worry about anything." JC grinned, pulling AJ up for a lengthy kiss.

"Do you love me?" AJ asked honestly, pulling away so that he could look in JC's eyes.

"More than anything or anyone."

"Good. Then it's settled."

"What's settled?"

"You love me as much as I love you. You're going to visit me on tour. We'll be on the down low with Howie, Brian, Nick and Kev watching our backs, making sure that no one finds out about us. I'll sneak home as often as I can, and when you and your guys go on tour I'll visit you as often as possible. We're going to make this work Josh. I know it." AJ felt his lover get hard against his thigh, the action causing him to giggle childishly. "Holy fuck babe. You weren't kidding."

All JC could do was blush, a giant grin covering his lips. "Alex, you don't even know the half of it."

Finis.
