Bryan and Daniel

Father Matthew left the confessional deeply disturbed.  He had, of course, handed out penance, which he always did, but he had also handed out advice.  He wasn’t sure he had done the right thing, or that his advice was the appropriate way to help the penitent ease his conscience.  He closed the confessional booth, and went home to meditate on his actions.  He also believed that he had enough of an interesting tale to turn the story over to Father Warren, his alter-ego.  He felt that it was a story only Father Warren could write.

**********

“Bless me Father for I have sinned.  It’s Bryan James.  You married me about a year ago.”

“Of course.  You’re Bry.  I remember you well,” Father Warren replied.  He was pleased that one of his long time parishioners had come to confession.  “How have you sinned, Bry?”

“I had sex with my college roommate.  You may remember him Father.  He was the best man at my wedding.  His name is Daniel.”

“What you did is a sin and a perversion, but I am sure the Blessed Virgin will forgive you, if you never do it again, and if you wash all such perverted thoughts from your mind.”

“I have already prayed to The Virgin, Jesus, and The Holy Father, but I could not erase the desire to be with Daniel.  I came to realize that I loved my old friend more than my wife.”

“That having been said, Bry, what exactly do you want of me?  You are not asking for absolution, or for penance, so why are you here?”

“I want to know how I can annul my marriage,” Bry sobbed.  “For your information, Father, it has never been consummated.”

“Good heavens,” Father Warren gasped.  He was definitely shocked by that confession, and he thought he had heard everything. 

“Does your wife, Carol, agree to the annulment?  Her name is Carol, if I remember correctly.”

“Yes, she agrees.  We haven’t had a proper marriage, before I had sex with Daniel, and certainly not since I made love to him.”

“If both of you are in agreement, I’m sure I can arrange for an annulment.  Now tell me how it came about.”

Bry was surprised that Father Warren was asking him for details.  He had no way of knowing that although he was celibate, Father Warren was a homosexual.  The good Father’s cock was at full attention.   He couldn’t wait to get home and whack off, but he also wanted details to help him achieve the maximum masturbation fantasy.  He certainly knew that his church frowned upon any sexual activity outside of marriage, including masturbation, but he also knew that if he was to maintain his vow of celibacy, masturbation was necessary.  He chose what he considered to be the lesser of two sins.  He consoled himself with the knowledge that everyone did it, and God could not punish everyone. 

**********

Bryan and Daniel roomed together, on and off campus, during their entire four years of college.  They had not known each other before matriculating at the State University, but they were assigned the same dorm room.  Assignments were done alphabetically, and Daniel’s last name is Jaegger.  The two men soon became fast buddies, but Daniel had a problem.  He was then, still is, and will always be, gay.

It was sheer torture for him to room with Bry, especially when he had many opportunities to see Bry naked.  He was even aware when Bry whacked off at night, but he always pretended to be asleep.  When he whacked off, Bry was always asleep, and he wondered if Bry was only pretending to be asleep also.

Bry spent many a night in the arms of some co-ed, and he didn’t always come home.  He often insisted that Daniel double date with him.  Daniel would see his date home, and return alone to their room.  While Bry was having wild and kinky sex, Daniel would masturbate alone, fantasizing that he and Bry were making love.  On his part, Bry seemed oblivious to how much Daniel craved to make love to him.

Somehow Daniel got through his entire college career without coming on to Bry or declaring his love for him.  Late in their junior year, Daniel admitted to Bry that he was gay.  He only did that so Bry would stop trying to fix him up, and force him into an uncomfortable position.  When he confessed his orientation to Bry, he started to cry.

Bry held him in his arms, and patted his back.  “Stop blubbering,” he said.  “I love you like a brother.  We’ll always be best friends.  I don’t give a damn that you’re gay.”

“Thanks,” Daniel said.  “That means a lot to me.”

“Hey Danny Boy,” Bry said, “Now I can try to fix you up with guys instead of girls.”  He was joking, attempting to put Daniel at ease, and they both broke out laughing.  Daniel would never stop yearning for Bry, but now that he was out to him, it allayed some of the sexual tension he had previously felt when they were alone.

After graduation, Daniel got a great job in New York, and moved to a one-bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village.  Bry stayed in his home town, where he also got a pretty good position with a promising future.  The two friends remained very close.  They texted and called each other constantly.  Their relationship was what is referred to these days as a bromance.

Two years after graduation, Bry called Daniel.  “I’m getting married, and I want you to be my best man,” he cried out joyously. 

Only because he was in love with Bry, did Daniel feel crushed.  He couldn’t answer, and Bry asked, “Are you still there Danny Boy?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Daniel answered.  “You just overwhelmed me.  I didn’t know you were seeing someone seriously.”

“It was a whirlwind romance. Carol is the sister of a co-worker.  We met at the company Christmas party.”

“That was only a month ago,” Daniel said.

“I know.  It was really romantic.  We fell for each other, hook, line and sinker.”

“I just want you to tell me that you’re happy, Bry.  I need to know.”

“I’m very happy, Daniel.”

“Great.  When’s the wedding?”

“I’ll let you know as soon as we set the date.”

“In the meantime, how about sending me a picture?”

“It’s on the way.”

**********

Bry and Daniel continued to stay in constant touch even after the wedding.  Sometimes they would talk to each other for hours in the evening.  Daniel was secure in the knowledge that their friendship was not diminished by Bry’s marriage.  Then shortly before Bry’s first wedding anniversary, Daniel got a text from his good buddy.  He and Carol were spending a long weekend in New York to celebrate their anniversary, and Bry wondered if they could stay with him, since the cost of hotel rooms was way over their getaway budget.

Daniel only had a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment, but he figured he would give his guests the bedroom, and he would sleep on the couch.  After all it was only for a few days.  He immediately texted Bry to let him know that it would be his pleasure, and lots of fun for all of them.

Daniel had a fuck buddy, Carl Granato.  Carl was always pressuring Daniel to take their relationship to the next level, but he was reluctant to do so.  He loved Bry too much to consider a relationship with anyone else, even a fuck buddy.  He thought that if it became too uncomfortable in his small apartment, and worse came to worst, he could always shack up with Carl.

Daniel did not own an auto.  He took public transportation to work.  Occasionally he would rent a car to go to the beaches in New Jersey and Long Island, but he usually went with friends, so the expense was shared.  Bry knew that Daniel could not pick him up at the airport, so he and Carol took a taxi to Daniel’s place.  Poor Daniel, was pacing the floor waiting for their arrival.  He knew that Bry would hug him, and that would be more than enough payment to him for sharing his apartment.

Bry and Carol arrived on a Friday afternoon about 4 PM.  Daniel had arranged to leave work early that day.  As expected Carol gave Daniel a big hug first, and then Bry and Daniel fell into a bear hug, pressing their bodies hard together.  Daniel could feel Bry’s assets pressing against him and he panicked.  He would have loved to have maintained the hug forever, but he pulled away.

“You guys will have the bedroom, and I’m shacking out on the couch.”  Daniel said, and he led them to the bedroom.  They only had one bag, but he asked them to hang up their stuff and get comfortable.

“What are your plans for the evening?” Daniel asked when they were all seated in the living room.

“We thought we would take you out to a nice restaurant to show our appreciation.”

“You can spend all the money you have after tonight,” Daniel said, “but I’ve made us a gourmet dinner tonight.”

Bry started to laugh. 

“What’s funny?” Daniel asked.

“Danny Boy, I didn’t even know if you could cook now that you live alone, but somehow I knew that you’d make dinner tonight.”

“I could never surprise Bry with anything,” Daniel said to Carol.  “We can read each other’s minds.”  Carol looked at Daniel strangely, and somehow he was disturbed, but he didn’t know why.

“Okay then, what are your plans for your romantic getaway weekend?” Daniel asked.  It was Carol who spoke up.

“My dad’s kid brother lives in Brooklyn.  He’s my favorite uncle and not much older than I am.  He wanted us to stay with him, but we preferred to stay in Manhattan, because we have dinner reservations and theater tickets.  Anyway, he’s picking me up tomorrow morning, and I’m spending the day with him.  He’ll have me back by five, and Bry and I are going to The Four Seasons for dinner.  After that we have theater tickets to see a Broadway musical.  We’d like to spend Sunday with you, Daniel, whatever you’d like to do.  Our flight home leaves at 7 PM.”

“How come you aren’t going with Carol? Daniel asked Bry.

“Because I miss you, and would rather spend the day with you, renewing old acquaintance.”

“That sounds great,” Daniel lied.  The thought of spending the whole day with Bry scared the hell out of him.  All his old college days, which were filled with sexual tension, returned to him full force. 

Somehow everyone got through the evening, and Saturday dawned sunny and bright in New York City.  At about 8:30 PM, Carol’s cell phone rang.  Her uncle told her that he was right outside the building entrance, but he couldn’t find a place to park.  Could she and Bry come downstairs.  He wanted to say hello to Bry before he and Carol took off.  The anniversary couple ran downstairs, and Bry returned sooner than Daniel expected.

“I’m making bacon and eggs with coffee and a bagel,” Daniel said.  “Is that okay with you?”

“It’s perfect, but Danny Boy, I need desperately to talk to you.  I need your advice really bad.  You’re the only one in the world I could discuss this with.”

“You’re scaring me Bry.  Come into the kitchen and talk to me, while I make breakfast.”

They went into the kitchen, and Daniel started to take the fixings for breakfast out of the fridge.  Bry sat mutely, staring at his friend.

“Bry,” Daniel pleaded.  “I’m getting more scared by the minute.  Please talk to me.”

Bry took a deep breath.  “Here goes,” he said.  “I told you that Carol and I had a whirlwind romance, but I didn’t tell you that she wouldn’t have sex with me until our wedding night.  She used our Catholicism as an excuse, as if anyone believes that virgin bride shit anymore.  She allowed us to kiss a little, but nothing more.”  Bry grew quiet again.

“Please go on,” Daniel encouraged him.

“On our wedding night she went to bed wearing a nightgown.  She laid down on the bed like a stone statue, and when I got into bed naked, she turned on her stomach.  She was one scared virgin.  I put my arms around her, and tried to reassure her that I would be gentle, and I would never hurt her.  Finally, she turned over.  I kissed her, and brushed my arm across her breast, very gently.  She seemed to be relaxing a little, so I began to play with her clit.  She tensed up again.  I took her hand, and led it toward my cock.  She recoiled, and started whimpering, so I held her close, and whispered that we could wait until she was ready.  She thanked me, and said that she needed to work up her courage.”

“When did you finally take her virginity?” Daniel dared ask.

“She’s still a virgin, and if you are wondering, I have stayed true to my wedding vows.  I haven’t had sex in a year.  If I have to whack off one more time, I’ll go crazy.”

“Gee, Bry,” Daniel said.  “I’ve never heard of a situation that bad.  Haven’t you been able to break down her resistance?”

“I’ve wined and dined her, and brought her flowers, but she insists that she’s not ready yet.”

“I know that this is a dumb question, Bry, but is there anything I can do to help you.”

Bry looked scared.  He even turned away from Daniel, and said, “Yes, you can give me some relief.”

Daniel was stunned.  He had to hold on to the kitchen table to keep his legs from buckling under him.  He was mute.

“Please say something, anything,” Bry begged.

After a long hesitation, Daniel said, “No Bry, I can’t.”

It was Bry’s turn to be stunned.  “Why, why not?  You’re gay, aren’t you?” he pleaded.

Daniel walked over to Bry.  This was his moment of truth.  He wrapped his arms around his friend, and kissed him on his lips.  Bry did not resist. 

“I can’t do it, because I love you too much.  I have wanted to make love to you since we met.  I wanted to show you what true love felt like, not like all those one night stands you indulged in.  I gave up hoping when you met Carol, and now you tell me that your marriage is a disaster.  No, my dear friend, I won’t give you relief, but I will make love to you, if you’ll let me.”

Bry started to laugh, but his laugh was sardonic.  “I have always loved you more than anyone else in the world, but I never believed that I could have sex with you, and now it’s the only thing I want from you, for me, for us.  Yes, Danny Boy, make love to me, please.”

The two men fell into each other’s arms, and this time their kisses were full of passion.

“I’m not at all hungry,” Daniel said.  “Do you mind waiting for breakfast until I have a chance to show you how much I love you?”

“As far as I’m concerned, I don’t have to eat all day,” Bry smiled at Daniel.

Daniel was still numb, but he said, “I haven’t had my morning shower.  How about you?”

“I haven’t showered either.  Let’s go.” 

Daniel was surprised and happy.  Bry seemed to be taking the lead.  They ran to the shower and stripped.  They had seen each other naked a hundred times before, but this was different.  This time they were both as hard as steel rods.  Their uncut cocks were each about seven inches now, and threatening to grow bigger.

Daniel started the shower, and they stepped in.  At first they just stood still like statues, letting the soothing water relax and calm them down.  They were both very excited.  Daniel smiled at Bry, took a bar of soap, and began to soak Bry’s body.  It wasn’t long before he was stroking Bry’s cock, bathing it in a sea of suds.  Bry began to mewl.

“Do you know how long I have wanted to do this?” Daniel whispered in Bry’s ear.  Bry didn’t answer, but he took the soap from Daniel, and began to bathe Daniel’s cock, stroking it all the time.

Daniel lost control.  He fell to his knees, allowed the water to rinse the soap off Bry’s cock, and he took Bry into himself.  Never before had he sucked so gently, so tenderly.  Now it was Bry who lost control.

“I’m cumming,” he yelled, “I can’t stop it.”  Daniel stroked harder and faster, and Bry gushed down his throat.  It took Bry some time to come down from his high, and to breathe easier.

“That beats a hand job, by a country mile,” Bry said.  He picked Daniel up, and without any reticence at all, he fell to his knees, and took Daniel into him.  Daniel came even faster.  When fantasies come true, that will happen.

Reluctantly they vacated the shower, and dried off.  They towel dried each other, and fell into Daniel’s bed naked, and hugging and kissing each other.  Daniel realized that Bry was hard again.

“Would you like to fuck me?” Daniel asked.  A big grin crossed Bry’s face.  Daniel opened his bedside table drawer, and pulled out condoms and lube.

Bry frowned, “No condoms,” he said.  “I haven’t been with anyone in over a year.”

“I have,” Daniel said, “but I always used protection.”

“Then throw away the condoms.  If you have a disease, I want to get it, and share it with you.”

Daniel handed the lube to Bry, and laid down flat on his back.  He placed a pillow under his butt, and said, “Go to it Tiger.  I think you can figure out what to do.”

“Damn right,” Bry said.  “I’ve seen male porn, but that’s our secret.”  He buried his face in Daniels crack, and began to rim him.  Daniel never expected that, and he began to cry softly.

“Please,” he said, “fuck me.”

Bry generously greased his cock, and entered Daniel very, very slowly.  “I’ve dreamed of this for just about forever,” Daniel murmured.”

“And I just realized how much I love you,” Bry answered.  “What a fool, I’ve been.”  He was inside of Daniel, as far as he could go, but he didn’t move.  He was enjoying the warm glowing feeling he was experiencing, but Daniel urged him on.  He began to stroke slowly, as he leaned over and resumed kissing Daniel.  He never expected it, but he felt his climax approaching.  He had just cum a short while ago.  This was unbelievable, but he gave Daniel all the credit.  As he shot his seed up Daniel’s guts, he yelled, “I love you so much.”

Daniel asked, “Do you love me enough to let me rim you, and fuck you?”

“Please do.  Be my guest.” 

Once Daniel’s cock was buried in his ass, Bry screamed out, “Why didn’t you tell me how wonderful this is?  Make love to me forever.  Stay inside me forever.”  He only shut up when Daniel began to kiss him.

They made love all day, and both men were happier than they had ever been in their lives.  Finally, at about 3 PM, Bry said that they had better get up, make the bed, shower, and dress before Carol got back.  They did all that and then sat on the living room sofa, waiting for her return.  Just as they sat down, Bry’s cell phone rang.  It was Carol.

“Oh Darling,” she started, “my uncle’s whole family is coming over for dinner to see me.  I’m going to stay here tonight.  Why don’t you take Daniel out to dinner and to the show in my place?  My uncle said he’d drive me back tomorrow in plenty of time to make our plane.”

Bry’s first impulse was to complain that this was a heck of a romantic weekend, but all he said was, “Sure Carol.  Have a good time.”

When they got home, Bry asked Carol for a divorce, and she said that it was probably for the best.  The first chance he got, he went to confession and asked Father Warren about an annulment.

He had no trouble getting a good job in the same firm where Daniel worked.  Daniel was a respected employee, and his referral of Bry was taken very seriously.  After Bry moved to New York, Father Warren never saw or heard from again.

Bry had no trouble adapting to the gay life, and blending into New York’s gay community.  And, of course, Daniel was always there to guide him along the way.
