Off Script

Thanks to Betty’s connections they were able to get front row seats, stage right. “Oh my Ricky has always been such a talented boy, always with a song in his voice, and so musical. Just like his grandmother.”

Aaron smiled, the old woman’s excitement for her grandson was infectious. “Were you a singer as well?”

“Oh, I’m afraid not. That talent seems to be Ricky’s alone. I used to play the piano in church and I taught my children and grandchildren.”

“That’s amazing, I’ve always wished I could play the piano.”

“What is stopping you, dear?”

“Well…money right now.”

“Oh, heavens. I know how hard it can be to raise a child on a fixed income but-” Betty was interrupted by two gentle tones and the lights inside of the theater dimming. “We’ll talk more at intermission.” She whispered an action until that point Aaron didn't think she was capable of doing.

The play itself wasn’t bad, some of the actors had legitimate talent. Ricky was no doubt one but he had such a small role that no one in the audience could discern for sure. Except of course for Betty who was sure he was destined for Broadway. Aaron was surprised to find Luke was so moved by one actor’s performance as she confessed her love to another girl in the second act only to be rejected. For some reason Aaron couldn’t help but find this endearing and placed a comforting hand on Luke’s. Aaron did what he could to comfort Luke and hoped he wouldn’t start crying. He knew if Luke did he would cry as well, having been a sympathetic crier since he was a child. He dreaded the idea of having to touch up his makeup afterwards. As he touched Luke he felt a familiar rush resonate in his body. He couldn’t possibly be this excited by a simple touch from a man! He wasn’t gay. Sure they had had sex, and it wasn’t the first time Aaron had sex with a man but baking a couple pies in your entire life doesn’t make one a chef. So he couldn’t be gay. Luke may have been objectively handsome with his clean shaven face, soulful eyes and strong jaw but…Aaron bit his lip and balled his hands into a fist, trying to crush the thought and intertwining their fingers in the process.

Luke held his emotions at bay, as hard as that was, it was clear why the two leads got their roles. You could feel the fear and love in the first girl’s voice as she confessed her love. And when Julie’s love rejected her you didn’t hate Regina or even cast her as the villain in your mind because you could feel the pain she felt by telling Julie they could never be. “My family…they would never understand.”

“But, I love you.” Julie said.

Regina stood on the porch and looked out into the darkness of the crowd “Sometimes, sometimes that isn’t enough.” Julie spun Regina around and kissed her passionately. Only stopping when an interior light came on, “You have to go.” She whispered.

Julie lingered, “Meet me tomorrow under the bleachers.”

“Regina?” An elderly woman’s voice called out.

“Go.”

“Please, tomorrow?”

The stage filled with the sounds of heavy footfalls on wooden floors, “Fine, just go.”

“Promise?”

“Wh-Yes!” Julie kissed Regina again before leaping the banister of the porch into the pitch black area of the stage. The scene continued but Luke was now watching Erin, she was on the verge of tears. No doubt having a daughter herself she couldn’t help but imagine if she had to go through such trials just to be with someone she loved. Or maybe, he thought, she misses the feeling of the love of her husband. Luke looked at the delicate and painted fingers that intertwined with his and knew he could never replace him and worried for a moment…was she so eager to jump into a relationship with him because she wanted to replace the man she lost? Could he be that man for her? Did it matter so long as he was hers and she was his? Luke lifted the small hand to his lips and gently kissed it. Erin turned to look up at him and smiled a soft wanting in her eyes. That beautiful smile and her gently welcoming eyes melted his worries away. For now he would focus on being her man and reason out the why of it later on.

Ricky’s part, which Betty made sure everyone in the surrounding seats knew it was him on stage, was that of a mutual apathetic friend who didn’t seem to care about any of the drama but in the end was pivotal in helping the young lovers escape their small town. The play closed as Ricky’s final words flowed through the silent theater, “I got a letter from them once after graduation; They got an apartment on the coast, Julie’s working as a waitress and Regina’s still studying to be a veterinarian but doing it on her without her parents money, she’s currently employed at a record store. I found out Julie did take the three legged mutt with them when they left, apparently they decided to name him Buck. I used to hate that my parents gave me that stupid name…but now maybe I’m thinking, it’s not so bad after all.” The final light dimmed as the curtain closed on Ricky/Buck looking over the letter with a smile on his face.

Betty was the first to applaud for her grandson, quickly joined by the rest of the crowd who no amount of arguing would convince her they weren’t applauding for him as well. After the final bows had finished Ricky came out from backstage and hugged his grandmother. “You came!”

“Of course I did, sweetheart.” She smiled. Sarah was a little surprised to see the grandson was actually very cute even though he was clearly a dork with dark eyeliner and multiple pairs of costume necklaces. His short black hair was currently a mess after taking off the much longer wig he had to wear for the play. His character was the cliched emo and was very pessimistic about Buck’s chances of getting out of the small town. Ricky, on the other hand, was a very optimistic person with a bright smile from the sound of the conversation he and his grandmother had. “Oh, forgive my poor manners.” She said placing an arm around Ricky’s shoulders, “Ricky, this is my neighbor Erin and her beau.” Erin offered her hand and he smiled as he gently shook her hand. “I really enjoyed your performance. This is my-Luke.”

He smiled,“I’m her Luke.” Luke held out his hand and the short boy shook it enthusiastically. “You were very good. I see why your grandmother was so excited.”

Ricky smiled, “She’s my biggest fan.” he squeezed himself closer to Betty with his free hand.

“And last, but certainly not least, Sarah.” Betty turned Ricky to face Sarah as if she were presenting them both to each other. When she saw the smile on Betty’s face Erin realized this was exactly what she was doing. She was using this moment to attempt to set her daughter up with her no doubt single grandson. Erin scrunched her face in annoyance, she hated when her grandparents used to do this to him. At least having lived hundreds of miles away from his family meant Sarah wasn’t subjected to such annoyances.

Sarah **** a smile at the young man in front of her. He was the same height as her in her borrowed heels, somewhere around 5’8. “You put on one heck of a show.”

“You should see me when I’m actually trying.” He gave Sarah a cocky smile.

“So you weren’t giving it your all? Doesn’t seem very professional.”

Ricky’s smile faulted and Erin had to fight the urge to laugh, she knew it was somewhat rude but he set himself up for that with his weak attempt at a humblebrag against an unknown opponent.

“If I had known you were in the audience I would have brought my A game.” Ricky smirked again. Sarah rolled her eyes and turned away from everyone, hiding a faint smile. His pickup game was terrible but in an almost charming way. “I have an idea, why don’t we go out for a late night dinner? My treat.”

“Ricky that is too much, you should be saving your money for school.”

“It’s not a big deal nanna. I gotta show my appreciation to my fans, right?” He was looking at Betty until the end, almost asking if Sarah was his newest fan.

“I could eat.” Sarah said blankly. She wasn’t a fan but she also didn’t feel like scrounging for food again, maybe she could get some ice cream out of this night if nothing else.

“I can make us dinner at home.” Erin interjected. She needed to go home, get her daughter away from this boy and do something about the fact she was so horny that she was currently leaking precum into her panties.

“Erin is an amazing cook.”

Betty smiled as she felt a lightbulb moment going off in her head, “I have an idea, why don’t us old fogies head home and have ourselves a nice quiet dinner while these two go out and have a bit of fun for the evening.”

“I don’t know, I’d have to come back and pick Sarah up anyway so-”

“Oh, no problem. I can bring her home. If you’re comfortable doing it that way.” Ricky asked Sarah.

“Ricky is an excellent driver.”

Erin grumbled her own attempts to say no without sounding rude were blocked, he had only one ace up his sleeve. “Well, I suppose it should be up to Sarah. She is an adult as she’s fond of reminding me.”

By now Sarah had grown annoyed with her mom, Luke, and even Betty. Her mother had promised she wouldn’t have to watch the two make goo goo eyes at one another and several times throughout the play she caught them kissing or staring at the other in obvious wanton desire. Normally she wouldn’t mind it but she was definitely on edge, and the fact they were all talking about her as if her opinion on the subject of where she ate didn’t matter did not help her mood. All except Ricky. He at least made a point of asking her directly if she was okay with his suggestion. “Let’s go.” Sarah rolled her eyes and grabbed Ricky’s hand and left.

Erin’s face dropped as Sarah dragged the boy away. She wanted to go after her, grab Sarah by the ear and take her home. Going off with strange boys she knew nothing about was not a good idea! Something could happen. Just because he was skinny and short didn’t mean he wasn’t capable of hurting his baby girl. Betty took Erin’s hand and patted it gently, “They all have to grow up eventually. It’s our job to ensure we give them the tools to live their lives happily.”

Aaron frowned, he knew she was an adult, but she was spiteful like he was at that age and would definitely do something she might regret later just because someone suggested she couldn’t. Aaron clung to Luke’s arm as they walked back to the car with Betty.

When they returned home Betty admitted to being too tired for a large meal and would simply warm up leftovers at her house for herself. “Almost like that was her plan all along, huh?”

Luke smirked and wrapped his arms around Aaron while standing in her driveway. “You ever think about joining the ****? You’d make a great detective.”

“Hah hah.” Aaron said sarcastically, allowing himself to be led into his own house. Once inside, Luke’s hands roamed more freely, gently caressing Aaron’s arms and kissing her exposed neck.

“I…I thought you were hungry.” Aaron hoped the promise of food would distract him from his current course. And, though he wouldn’t admit it, he needed the same distraction as he leaned into Luke’s front.

“I’m hungry, alright.” Luke pulled one arm behind Aaron until he felt the stiffening cock in his pants. “Hungry for you.”

“So cheesy.” Aaron breathed deeply, feeling Luke’s hand slip up under the bag of his dress and groping his ass. “Mmm.” Aaron moaned again.

“Do you want it?” Luke asked, closing Aaron’s hand around his thickening cock. No, he didn’t want Luke’s cock, he didn’t want any man’s cock! He wanted to jerk off and have dinner. That’s what he wanted to say…but all he could muster was a pleasurable sigh. What was wrong with him?! “Do you?” After a minute of grinding against that hard tent behind him Aaron nodded. “Tell me what you want.” It was bad enough he wanted it but Luke wanted him to say it? Out loud? “You won’t get anything unless you beg me for it.”

Aaron groaned, “I…I want it.”

“Want what?”

“I want your…your cock.”

“Why?”

‘He’s so evil!’ Aaron thought, “I…I want to…I want us to make love.” His nervous nature regarding sex betrayed him again, he could only hope it was enough before he was driven insane with lust.

Hearing this gave Luke a momentary pause. In his opinion there was a difference between fucking, which is what his cock wanted him to do, and making love, which his girlfriend wanted him to do. “You want me to make love to you?”

“Yes.” Aaron gasped as Luke slipped a hand under his dress.

“If that’s what you wish.” Suddenly the groping stopped, to Erin’s obvious displeasure. Luke’s right arm quickly moved behind her knees and he lifted her into both arms and carried her, princess style, to her bedroom. Erin knew he was stronger than her but the way he lifted her and showed no struggle on his face as he carried her upstairs and into the bedroom made her heart actually flutter.

Luke still didn’t let go as he sat on the edge of her bed and held her in his lap, his hard cock still pressing into her butt. “What are y-”

“Shh.” He hushed her with a kiss as his top hand reached behind her dress and pulled the zipper down.

Last night their sex was feverish, passionate, hungry, amazing. But tonight Luke had apparently switched gears, the hunger was still present but less aggressive now. As he undressed her slowly it became clear to Aaron what the difference now was, last night they were being guided solely by their genitals into a frantic fury of sex. Tonight, Luke, at least, was letting his heart take charge. The heart that knew they had all the time in the world to explore every avenue of each other's bodies. Last night the concern was getting off as quickly and as many times as possible, but as Aaron’s dress hit the floor and Luke softly kissed her neck again he knew the orgasm would not come immediately. Looking up at Luke as he sat his vest next to his jacket and unbuttoned his shirt calmly he felt suddenly intimidated. He wanted to fuck or even…be fucked, but something in him anted to know how gentle his muscles could be

Luke knelt before Aaron and smiled at her with his deep soulful eyes, “Are you ready?” Aaron nodded, his mind screamed at him that he wasn’t gay, he shouldn’t even be enjoying the thought of this man inside of him again let a lone allowing his heart to pound in his ears. Luke gripped the side of Aaron’s panties and slowly slid them down. Planting a kiss on her knees as the panties fell to the floor before he spread them apart.

Luke lifted one leg and kissed from her ankle up to her knee sending little waves of goosebumps throughout Erin’s body only for the action to be repeated on the other leg. Reaching her middle he slipped a tongue inside the folds of her faux vagina. Erin still wasn’t completely sure on how it functioned but every flick of her ‘clitoris’ brought her closer and closer to an edge she both did and did not want to cross. Without mental command Erin’s hand gripped Luke’s hair and pulled him closer while she arched her back giving him perfect access.

Aaron couldn’t believe it, here he was being eaten out…again, and loving it even more than the time before. Luke paid great attention to her body language, whenever it looked like she was about to explode in another orgasm he slowed down or targeted somewhere else bringing her to edge multiple times. Erin had lost count of exactly how many times around the tenth time. She begged emphatically for him to continue only to be denied. Instead of feeling frustration she only wanted more!

Suddenly Luke stopped and stood up, his cock threatening to tear his zipper off. Erin knew exactly what he wanted and wasted no time freeing his rock hard uncut cock. Erin quickly wrapped her lips around his member and **** a finger into her soaking wet slit. Luke grabbed her hand and head forcing her to slow her pace as she sucked his cock. He placed her hand onto his flat stomach and would pull it back any time it dropped below his waist. Erin wanted to cum so bad and it seemed the only way to do that was to suck Luke off, which she had no problem with, but he wanted her to do it slowly? He wanted her…to tease him? The idea did intrigue Erin. She was apparently blocked from getting off and he was willing to be put in the same state? Erin slowly licked his shaft making sure to cover every inch of him. He tongue would flick his cockhead the same way he had flicked hers, like her, he intertwined his fingers in her hair and pulled her closer, slowly sawing his cock back and forth inside of her lips. While she used her tongue to explore every part of his cock she recognized if she teased certain spots with her lips or her tongue she could feel him tense up or moaning with pleasure. Knowing she had this kind of power was intoxicating and only aroused her further. At some point Luke decided to take back control and pulled away from Erin with a resounding pop as he fell from her lips. “Come here.” She stood as she was told and he pulled her close, kissing her lips, Erin briefly forgetting that what she was tasting was herself. As their tongues commingled Luke’s arms wrapped around her lythe body once more, this time they spun in place and she suddenly felt his cock against her stomach while she sat on his thighs. All the while, they continued kissing one another. Luke’s hands grabbed her ass while Erin grind her pussy into his cock, only teasing her more.

Finally Erin lifted herself over his nine inches and inserted it into her, having been teased for some time now feeling it slide inside of her pussy brought her to the edge. She cried out in pleasure as her eyes rolled in the back of her head, her lover’s hands still exploring every inch of her body. Erin rocked her hips against the welcome intruder as she stared deeply into Luke’s eyes. “You’re so beautiful.” He whispered and her heart fluttered again. Whatever the cause seemed completely separate from the sex.

Even though it was physically a new experience for him, Aaron felt a familiar feeling he hadn’t felt in years. He would deny it to himself later but in this moment, riding his boyfriend’s cock his rational and fearful mind wasn’t in charge of anything. Later he would convince himself he was thinking with little Aaron, he wasn’t in charge either. The pounding drum in his chest that threatened to jump out of his chest and sing like in so many cartoons was in control as Aaron pulled himself forward and kissed Luke and the slow rhythm they had been thrown aside for the more rapid pace. Taking a cue from his lover Luke wrapped his arms around her body and kept pace with her until finally they both had their first simultaneous orgasm.
