Peach Tree Family: Gay Romance

by Trina Solet

  Theo licked his lips and grinned. "I'll make you come again, don't worry."

  Seth was sure of it. He was still breathing hard, still turned on, still pulsing from Theo's fingers inside him. A deep, burning ache was making him reach for Theo to pull him back.

  "You want to keep going?" Theo asked.

  "Damn right I do," Seth said, his voice rough. He was getting hard again and more sure than ever that everything Theo did to him could only be good and feel wonderful.

  "All this cursing? You're such a bad boy now," Theo teased him.

  He got out a condom and Seth knew he was supposed to use it, but he still asked, "Do you have to use that?"

  Theo shut his eyes. "Seth," he said through gritted teeth then he slicked up his cock.

  "I've never done anything with anyone," Seth told him.

  "I always use one," Theo said, the condom still in his hand, his other hand pushing down on the back of Seth's thigh. "And you want me to make an exception for you, trust you?"

  "I... No. I was just being selfish. Do it the right way," Seth told him.

  "The right way?" Theo said and suddenly his naked cock was at Seth's hole. "Like this?"

  Seth's whole body was trembling just at the contact. "Theo," he moaned and felt pressure, nothing like a finger, nothing like anything. It was intense, burning like a hot, steel rod was searing its way inside him. The pain was mingling with a needy ache and a deepening pleasure. Without even knowing it, Seth was moaning the whole time Theo was filling him up.

  The long, steady thrust ended, and Theo was tight against him, all the way inside him. Seth couldn't breathe at the feeling of it.

  Theo was inside of him, above him, his eyes burning, his body rocking, giving Seth a taste of the fucking he was going to get. The rocking turned into thrusting, slow and deep. Theo was pulling almost all the way out then driving his cock back into the center of him.

  "You like it," Theo said. It wasn't a question. Seth was moaning under him so much, shivering, taking his cock like it was a gift.

  On the next stroke, Theo pushed all the way then leaned down and kissed him. Seth slid trembling hands down Theo's back and over his ass. He thrust his tongue inside Theo's mouth and felt him start to pump again.

  Theo fucked him while they kissed, Seth's cock rubbing against him. Then Theo rose again, gripped Seth by the backs of his knees and was back to doing him deep and slow. It wasn't like before. Seth was closer now, the need to come growing desperate, even more than before when Theo was fingering him and he couldn't contain himself.

  Theo's pumping was getting hard, but suddenly he stopped and pulled out. "Turn over," he ordered and Seth obeyed, anything for Theo to let him have it again.

  As soon as Seth was on all fours, Theo was in again. Pounding him harder, he was holding onto Seth's hips. The feeling building inside him wouldn't let him hold still. Seth started to rock back, fuck himself on Theo's cock.

  He kept to Theo's pace so they slammed together. Theo went faster and harder, and Seth matched him, helped the man fuck him.

  Seth's cock was bouncing until Theo wrapped his hand around it, giving him something to thrust into. His cock in Theo's hot grip made him crazy, bucking wildly.

  Pleasure was surging hot and powerful from deep inside him until it overtook him and almost knocked him down. He felt Theo's hands grip him harder, marking him. There was no stopping, until Seth was grunting and coming. Then Theo was coming too, calling his name in a strained growl. Theo was unloading inside him and Seth felt like his whole body would shake apart as he screamed, "Yes. Fuck, yes."

  Dazed, Seth collapsed and Theo cleaned him up. He stroked Seth's back as he did it like he didn't want to break the connection between them.

  "I didn't know it could feel like this. I didn't think anything in the world could feel this good. I didn't want it to ever end," Seth mumbled while reaching for Theo.

  But Theo had gone to turn the lamp off and then all they had was moonlight coming in through the window.

  "I guess it was good for you," Theo said, his voice husky close by his ear. He was lying down next to him, and Seth hoped he wasn't going anywhere.

  "Everything is good with you," Seth said half asleep, happy to feel Theo beside him.

  "You'll be sore tomorrow. You might even regret it," Theo said, but that was impossible.

  "Not one little bit," Seth said, turned over and pulled him into his arms.

  As Theo came to rest against his chest, Seth was afraid to breathe. But then he felt Theo breathing against him – both his chest rising and falling and the heat of his breath on his skin, so Seth started breathing too, timing it to Theo's. He wondered if he could get his heart to beat the same too.

  "I'm never going to be able to let you go now," Seth thought as he drifted off, but he wasn't sure if the words made it out.

  Chapter 25

  It was another very early morning that had Theo climbing out of Seth's bed and sneaking back into the bedroom he shared with Ace. Sometimes Ace would wake up and ask him where he was.

  "I was hanging out with Seth," Theo told him. It was close enough to the truth, and Ace had only one follow up question.

  "Did you play video games without me?"

  So far, Theo hadn't talked to Ace about him and Seth. He didn't know exactly what was going on between them, but he did know it was good. That's why he tried not to question it too much.

  That morning after breakfast as Ace was running around the woods with the cat, he had yelled about how many flowers Butter found. Theo was pretty sure cats weren't interested in flowers, but now that he was standing outside he could see for himself all the new green shoots and colorful buds coming out on the shrubs and trees.

  It made him smile. Until now he never thought he would like living in a house that seemed to be in the middle of the woods. After all coming here was a desperation move. But seeing the forest around them come alive was really nice, and he was looking forward to looking out there at lots of green.

  Theo had cleaned up their picnic table for lunch. They were expecting a bunch of kids to show up for a "forest adventure", and Ace was now in the kitchen with Seth helping him put together some sandwiches and making sure he didn't put too much salad in them.

  Theo was expecting the kids to be dropped off any minute, but the car he saw pulling up in front wasn't one he ever wanted to see again. As the car door opened, Theo kept staring like he could will her away, but there she was, Aunt Cindy. At least she was alone. For now anyway.

  Watching her approach, Theo was reminded of how much he hated that she looked like their mother. But the closer she got, the less she looked like Mom. She might have Mom's blond, wavy hair and slight frame, but Aunt Cindy didn't have Mom's expressive eyes full of kindness. Seeing her up close, Theo only saw the woman who failed them and hurt Ace.

  "Why are you here?" Theo said to her, but she didn't answer as she looked over his shoulder at the house. Was she looking for Ace?

  "That's a nice little house. You gonna invite me inside?" she asked with an insincere smile.

  "No."

  "We need to have a little talk, Theo," she said wiping the fake smile off her face.

  "We have nothing to talk about," Theo told her.

  She opened her mouth to disagree, but just then Rico drove up. Aunt Cindy gave Theo one of her thin smiles and she went off to her car. As Theo watched her drive away, Rico let Sammy and Gloria out of the car. After greeting them, Theo pointed them toward the door to the kitchen where they would find Butter and Ace.

  "That's not a happy look you're wearing," Rico said as he came over.

  "Just an unwelcome visitor," Theo said then he pointed at what Rico had in his hand. "Is that a swing?"

  "Mitch made it. Just pick a sturdy branch and tie it off then watch the kids fight over who gets to swing on it," Rico said as he handed it to him.

  "Oh, OK. Thanks."

  He went off and Rob and Julian were next to arrive with Danny and Lenny. "We'l
l keep a close eye on Danny," Theo assured them and he wasn't planning to let Ace out of his sight either.

  Danny and Lenny went to join the other kids, and Julian told him, "Thanks. It's nice of you to host the kids."

  "We're planning to take full advantage," Rob said and he grinned at Julian.

  "I'm not confirming or denying anything," his fiancé said.

  "Have fun," Theo told them then he went to show Seth the swing they needed to install.

  They were picking out a tree for it with the help of the kids when Wyatt got there, but didn't get out of the car, only the kids did.

  "I'm going to pick up Sam." Wyatt waved to Theo and Seth then he called out to the boys, "OK, you guys try not to get eaten by bears."

  "Bears!" Ry yelled like he was ready to challenge them to a fight.

  Theo wanted to tell Wyatt about his aunt but he was gone too fast, eager to get together with his husband.

  As the kids kept them busy, Theo tried not to let Ace see how rattled he was. Of course Seth noticed, but Theo couldn't talk to him about it just then. "I'll tell you what's going on later," Theo told him. For now he just wanted all the kids to have fun.

  They had hours of fun with Theo and Seth keeping them safe. It was exhausting, but the unwelcome visitor was never far from Theo's mind. He watched Ace, so happy and carefree, but he wouldn't be if he knew their aunt was there.

  Later on, it was Sam who picked up the boys and Theo knew he had to talk to him. "I need to tell you something and Wyatt should know this too. My aunt is in town and she can't have anything to do with Ace. If she approaches him or tries to take him anywhere, please call me."

  "We would never let Ace go off with anyone unless you told us it was OK," Sam assured him.

  "Thank you."

  "Let us know if you need anything," Sam said and he touched his arm briefly.

  "You've already done a lot for me and Ace."

  When Rico and Mitch came by to pick up Sammy, Rico looked all around then he nudged his husband. "This place would be perfect." He then explained himself to Theo. "My grandma likes to throw an egg hunt for her Easter party in her nice garden, but it would be more of a serious hunt out here."

  Rob was still there, and he disagreed. "It isn't supposed to be a 'serious hunt'. It's supposed to be easy."

  "Then how are the kids supposed to hone their hunting instincts?" Rico asked.

  "You planning to hand out bows and arrows?" Rob asked.

  Theo cut off their arguing with a question, "Does your grandmother hide real or chocolate eggs?"

  "Real ones. You thinking of doing chocolate? Grandma throws her Easter bash in the evening. I was thinking we could throw a hunt out here earlier. Lunchtime? What do you say?" Rico said.

  Theo agreed. "Sounds great. OK. It's on." He wanted to give Ace something good, an antidote to their aunt being there and whatever she was up to.

  Seth had the dinner shift at the tearoom so they didn't get to talk until he came back that night. Ace was already in bed, but Theo wanted to make sure they weren't overheard so they stayed in the kitchen. Theo leaned against the counter tiredly, and Seth leaned next to him and took his hand to encourage him to talk.

  "I told you about our aunt. Well, she's here," Theo said.

  "Why? What does she want?" Seth asked, frowning.

  "Ace. I wasn't supposed to take him away, but I had to get him away from her and her boyfriend. He was violent and our aunt..." Theo took a breath. "I still don't understand how she could be our mom's sister. She's nothing like her. Where mom had the biggest heart, Aunt Cindy has an empty hole. It's even more confusing for Ace."

  "You can't let her take him," Seth said.

  "No. Ace wouldn't be safe with her. After Aunt Cindy kicked me out, she started seeing this white supremacist. I didn't know it at the time, but it turned out he was beating on her. At one point he did it while Ace was there to witness it. Ace tried to get between them, but our aunt started hitting Ace, telling him to keep his mouth shut. I only found out about that later. The next time it happened, Ace couldn't keep quiet. Jerry hurt our aunt pretty bad and Ace called 911. She ended up in the hospital, and Ace stayed with me. When we went to see our aunt in the hospital, she said it was our fault her boyfriend got arrested. I got audio on my phone of her telling us to go live on the street because that's where we belonged, but I don't know if it will stand up in court."

  "I can't believe you thought to record her," Seth said.

  "She had claimed that Ace lied. She was denying that her boyfriend was the one who hurt her. I thought she might admit to something when it was just us."

  "Is her boyfriend still in jail? She didn't bring him, did she?" Seth asked, his expression dark.

  "I hope not. I was thinking that she might have gotten smart and dumped him. That could be why she's here. Her boyfriend never wanted Ace around. With him gone..."

  Seth could guess what he was afraid of. "No. No."

  "I can't imagine why else she would be here. I'll have to start work on getting custody, but I didn't make myself look good by taking Ace away without going to court first. I could be charged with kidnapping."

  "Your aunt threw you out. But why didn't you go to court then? If she hit Ace..."

  "They might have taken Ace away from her, but they wouldn't have placed him with me. I didn't have a permanent place to live. I was just staying with different friends, and I only had a part time job. I didn't know where Ace might have ended up. That's why we came here."

  "You have a job and a proper place to live now. They'll let you keep Ace," Seth said, but Theo could tell he had doubts. Instead of words, Seth offered him a different kind of comfort. He opened his arms and let Theo step into them.

  Theo sagged against him, but the need for comfort became so strong, making him cling to Seth.

  Theo spent a sleepless night and kept Seth awake too as he held him and refused to let him leave his bed. "If I go, you can get some sleep," Theo told him.

  "I'm keeping you company," Seth said and only held him tighter.

  In the morning, Theo had to tell Ace about Aunt Cindy. He put it off because he didn't want to ruin the fun day Ace had with the other kids, but now it had to be done.

  Theo still waited until after breakfast to give him the bad news. Then he watched Ace's face crumple.

  "How did she find us?" Ace asked.

  "This place isn't a secret," Theo told him and rubbed his back.

  "I don't want to go home with her," Ace said and leaned on Theo.

  "I don't want you to either," Theo told him, afraid to promise anything. He put his arms around Ace.

  Theo hated to see how his expression changed, like time had turned back. Ace was scared again, and Theo was too. He had to find out what Aunt Cindy wanted.

  He didn't want to see her but it was better to get it over with and not risk her showing up at the house when Ace was there. Theo had Seth take Ace and Butter to visit Sammy's cats. Theo hoped that would be enough to distract him.

  When he called his aunt, Theo wasn't sure where she would want to meet up, but she immediately said she was coming over to the house. He waited for her in front and tried to suppress any sign of fear.

  "Why did you come here?" Theo asked her as soon as she got out of the car.

  "You're not gonna ask me to come inside?" she said.

  "I know you're not here for a visit," Theo told her and didn't invite her in.

  "I'd like to see where you're living," she said and walked past him.

  "Are you still seeing Jerry?" Theo asked and stepped in front of her.

  "We don't need to talk about him. Is there some reason you don't want me to see where you have Ace living?"

  "You hit Ace, threatened him and called him a liar so you could protect your abusive boyfriend," Theo told her.

  "I never did any such thing," she lied. "Now I want to see this house of yours right now."

  Theo narrowed his eyes at her. "Why are you so determined to see the house?
"

  She huffed then looked from the house to him then after a long pause she came out with it. "I want to see if it's in good enough shape to sell," she said.

  "What? No one is selling that house," Theo told her sharply.

  "You kidnapped Ace. You should be in jail, but I'm willing to look past it. This house will be sold so you can pay me back for all the trouble you caused me."

  So that's what she was up to.

  "The house isn't for sale," Theo informed her.

  "You owe me! Do you want to go to jail?" she threatened then took a breath. "I don't want to have to take Ace away from you, just do like I say and sell this place."

  "You threw us out," Theo reminded her.

  "Smarten up, Theo. If you love your brother, if you want to keep Ace, you'll sell the house." With that she left, and Theo covered his eyes with both hands.

  She was after money, not Ace. That was almost good news. But losing the house... And what made her think the house was worth anything? It would take forever to sell a property in the middle of nowhere. Not that he wanted to do it.

  As soon as Theo texted Seth that his aunt was gone, he wanted to come back without Ace so they could talk. But once he got there, Theo didn't let him get out of the truck.

  "I'm too tense to stay put," he told Seth. "And too pissed off."

  "We'll go for a drive," Seth said and got them on the road.

  "I found out why my aunt is here. She wants money. She wants me to sell the house and give her the money. She said I owe her, but she's really blackmailing me. I either give her the money or go to jail and lose Ace. I guess I should be grateful she didn't already have me arrested."

  "What are you going to do?"

  "The house was built by our great-grandparents. I don't want to give it up, but it's better to lose the house than Ace. It makes me sick that she's using Ace as a bargaining chip, but that means she is willing to give up on him."
