Fire and Ice

I will hold your hand just you and me tonight Lay beside me, For I will never ever let you go away. From the song Stars in the Sky by the Ambassadors

“I will always be your son, but I will never have anything to do with your business.” Franc D’Ambrosio in the movie “The Godfather Part 3”

 

“You aren’t one of those LA weirdoes whose gonna take me out to the middle of nowhere and kill me right?”

Casi said this smiling and Zane laughed. “Hey you know what, even if I was, which I’m not, I would never do it to you. I’d be too afraid of your mother.”

Casi giggled. “Pussy.”

“I have been on earth long enough to be afraid of mothers. My mom is 5’1” and weighs about 90 pounds and I would never think of crossing her.”

“She throws shoes too?”

“Shoes, books, farm equipment…”

“Farm equipment? Do not tell me I’m on a date with a farmer.”

Zane looked over at Casi while the younger man giggled like a kid and feigned hurt. “Actually you are on a date with a fireman but I was raised on a farm.”

Casi got out of the car and nodded. “That explains so much.”

Zane got out after finding a good station playing slow music, closed his door and walked around the Jeep where he had parked on the edge of the canyon he had first found when he’d moved to LA and was in need of something that didn’t scream big city. Casi was smirking and Zane leaned against the jeep.

“Oh and what does that explain exactly?”

Casi grabbed his hand and pulled him away from the Jeep. “I thought we came here to dance?”

Casi put his arms around Zane’s neck and Zane in turn put his around Casi’s waist. The smirk was still on Casi’s lips and Zane leaned down to kiss it away. It worked and as their bodies swayed slowly their mouths tasted one another in an equally slow and sensual kiss. Once Zane was sure the smirk was gone and Casi was well into the arousal from the kiss he pulled his head back.

“So what does my being raised on a farm explain?”

“You’re polite and a little shy. You are a do gooder and you are big like a farm boy.”

“Total stereotype.”

“That fits you perfectly.”

Zane conceded this but smiled and said, “Well from what I have seen you are a do gooder. The people in your neighborhood love you.”

This caught Casi off guard. He didn’t want Zane to think so highly of him about that but he also wasn’t ready to tell him all of the truth of how the neighborhood got cleaned up.

“It wasn’t me, it was everyone.”

Before Zane could comment further Casi pulled him closer and rested his chin against his chest. He liked that Zane was taller than him and much bigger than him but didn’t make him feel little or weak which would be a mistake because Casi was a lot of things and weak wasn’t one of them. Zane gave him the distinct impression Casi could call the shots if he chose to and he did.

“Let’s lay on the hood of the car and look at the stars?” Zane looked up to the starless sky because of the wisps of clouds and the lights from the city keeping them from sight and chuckled but Casi took his hand and led him. “Okay so we can pretend.” Zane agreed and he climbed up on the hood of the Jeep then reached his hand to help Casi up. Casi waited until Zane laid down reclining on the windshield and he lay beside of him in the crook of his arm. “Where are you from?”

“Idaho, the southern part. A little town you’ve probably never heard of.”

“What does the sky look like from there?”

Zane thought back to his childhood home, the endless black sky so full of stars it would take four lifetimes to count them all. “Well, the night sky there is so dark you would never know it could turn such a pretty blue in the day and it stretches out forever. I used to drag my brother down to the fields when the grass was in thick, we’d lay on it smelling the soil that was so rich you could almost taste it and we’d try to name all of the constellations but didn’t know all their names so we made up our own.”

“You have a brother?”

“Yeah, Kevin. He’s a little younger than me. He helps my dad run the farm now, has a wife and a kid on the way. The perfect Idaho farm boy walking in the footsteps of Daddy.”

Casi watched Zane’s face turn a little bitter and didn’t like it one bit. “You’re not exactly a black sheep. You save lives and stuff. I’d rather date a fireman than a farmer any day.”

The conversation was getting closer and closer to the subject Zane wanted to avoid but he didn’t steer away from it this time. “Well I’m sure when Daddy finds out I’m gay I will be the black sheep who no one mentions around the dinner table anymore.”

Casi sat up and looked back at him. “They don’t know?” Zane simply shook his head and wouldn’t look at him. “Wow and you’re how old?”

“27.”

“That’s too bad. It sucks having to hide part of yourself from the people you love.”

Casi’s eyes were far away and Zane didn’t think he was searching for stars. “You sound like you’re speaking from experience.”

“We all hide things right?”

Casi wanted the subject changed then and he knew the way he wanted Zane’s mind off of asking what he may be hiding. Looking at the big man stretched out, looking so fine, so masculine, so strong, Casi was overcome with arousal. He could control himself if he wanted to but at that moment he didn’t want to. He turned to Zane, his face showing his desire, eyes narrowed and tongue licking over his lips. Casi’s hand ran down Zane’s chest, his hard stomach and stopped at the waist band of his jeans.

Zane looked into Casi’s eyes knowing what he wanted. “Casi, listen, I want you I really do, but I don’t want this to be some fuck and forget.”

“You don’t have much faith in me huh?”

Zane turned to his side and took Casi’s face in his hands, kissing his lips tenderly. “It’s not that. I guess I’m just afraid to rush into it.”

“You should learn to trust someone.”

Casi didn’t wait for another protest. He closed in on Zane’s mouth kissing him hotly while his hand worked the button and zipper of Zane’s pants. As soon as his hand slipped in and he felt Zane’s cock Zane moaned and kissed Casi harder. Casi was more than impressed with the size of the meat in his hands and thought briefly that it was maybe one of the reasons guys didn’t come back for seconds with the gorgeous man. Some gay men couldn’t handle something that big, but he was not one of them.

“As much as I would love to do it under the sky, I didn’t come prepared, and I pretty much doubt that you did. Take me to your place.”

Casi mouth was still on Zane’s as he said this and Zane nodded as he kissed Casi again then pulled away. “I don’t live alone.”

Casi sat up and looked at him deadly. “You have a boyfriend? Husband? Or better yet, a fucking wife?”

Zane laughed and shook his head. “No, no, none of the above. I have a roommate. Yvette, the girl I was with earlier. She’s my best friend.”

Casi looked at him guiltily. “Sorry. I guess I should take my own advice about trust huh?”

Zane slid off of the hood then pulled Casi into his arms kissing the side of his neck.

“Then trust I’m going to make sweet hot love to you.”

Casi’s body lit with sparks of electricity at Zane’s words and retorted, “Maybe after you fuck my brains silly.”

Zane’s head fell back and he groaned, pushing Casi against the car and kissing him harder before he pushed himself away and went to the driver’s door. Casi smiled wickedly then went to the passenger’s door and got in. “Drive fast.”

Zane thought about the mess in the room he’d left behind after trying to get ready for the date and got on his phone quickly. “Vette, hey, I’m, uh-“

“You’re bringing him home?”

“Yeah.”

“Okay so you need me gone, not breaking the mood. I’m out.”

“Hey can you-“

“Make sure your room is cleaned up first?”

“I love you.”

“Love you too Zane. Have fun and I want details.”

Zane hung up the phone as he pulled onto the freeway and smiled as he saw Casi watching him with a grin. When he got to his building he was relieved to see Yvette’s pickup truck was gone. He’d rarely had to ask her to leave. The building was old and the walls were decently thick so they didn’t have to worry about embarrassing each other with sex noises but Zane wanted nothing between he and Casi and the bed besides a couple of doors.

Zane grabbed Casi’s hand once they got inside of the gate and led him around the courtyard with its garden lovingly attended by Frank the maintenance man and to the stairs to take him to the second level where his and Yvette’s apartment was. He was glad none of his neighbors were out and about. He always feared they would ask him questions. None of them knew one way or the other if he was gay or not because he never let them see. Once inside Casi let go of Zane’s hand and walked around looking the place over.

“It’s nice.”

“Not because of me of course. Yvette has the eye for putting things together.”

Casi saw her pictures that were in simple back frames on the wall in back of the sofa. She preferred black and white photography and all the pictures were of people on different streets in LA. Some poor, some rich, a couple were children, one a very old man. All of them were unaware their pictures were being taken and all had far away looks on their faces.

“She caught them all looking like this. How?”

Zane put his arms around Casi’s chest from behind and looked at the pictures with him. “She said they were all thinking of their dreams. The old, the young, all of them have dreams and at some point it doesn’t matter where they are or what they’re doing they think about those dreams. It took her years to get all of these together. The one of the little girl was the first, right after we moved here.”

“They’re beautiful.”

Zane’s mouth kissed over Casi’s neck and he whispered, “She could have taken mine while I was thinking about you.”

Casi turned in Zane’s arms and put his hands around Zane’s neck kissing him hard. “Take me to bed.” Zane led the way down the short hall and closed the door behind him. Casi sat on the bed and leaned back on his elbows. “Let me see that body without all those clothes.”

Zane wasn’t exactly shy and he wasn’t ashamed of his body by any means. He took great pains to keep himself in the shape he was in, but the way Casi was looking at him, the predatory glare in his eyes, Zane was suddenly self conscious and nervous. He stripped slowly and had the uncontrollable impulse to cover himself with something but he didn’t have the time. Casi looked over his fine curves and taut muscle and licked his lips before he looked back up into Zane’s eyes while kicking off his shoes saying, “Take mine off now.”

Zane had no reservations about that in the least and he went to Casi, leaned down to kiss him while he pushed Casi’s jacket off and then quickly lifted his sweater from him. He kneeled on the rug after unfastening Casi’s pants and Casi lifted up to let Zane pull his pants and underwear off. It was Zane’s turn to leer. Casi’s body was in great shape, thin but muscled, creamy skin and long limbs. Casi’s cock was long and perfect and Zane had to taste it.

Casi read his mind and shook his head. “No, not yet. I wanna be fucked first.”

Zane closed his eyes and let out a long breath leaning over Casi to kiss him. Casi kissed him back but Zane felt Casi pushing him to the bed at the same time and before he knew it Casi was straddling him, tauntingly moving his hips to rub his cock against Zane’s stomach. “Where’s your condoms…lube?”

“Drawer. Nightstand.”

He was nearly stuttering and didn’t know why. He’d never been this way, but Casi was so take charge he was helpless under that dark gaze. Casi reached over to open the drawer and watching him stretch his body that way made Zane’s cock throb with need. When he had the lube Casi scooted back, rolled on the condom quickly and poured a good amount over Zane’s cock without even looking then let the bottle drop to the bed and stroked it over Zane’s cock while never taking his eyes from Zane’s.

“Don’t you need to be, I mean I can get you ready, I’d like to.”

“Next time. Right now I want you inside of me. If I take it slow I think I can handle it.”

Zane nodded and watched Casi position himself then take Zane’s cock and put it to his entrance. Casi finally looked away then closed his eyes all together. Zane’s hands gripped Casi’s thighs as he felt himself entering Casi. Casi was so tight around him he was worried he was going to hurt but when he looked into Casi’s face he saw no sign of pain. Casi’s mouth was open a little, the one side curved up and his hand was planted solidly on Zane’s chest. As he lowered himself slowly Zane had to keep his impulse to push up subdued as he let Casi take it at his own pace. It was pure wonderful torture and he loved it.

“Fuck you’re big.” Casi said this in a breath and lowered a little more sucking the breath back in and biting his lip. “Mm big boy. I’m getting so full of you.”

Zane’s eyes closed then and he groaned loudly while his head fell back.

“No don’t close your eyes. Watch me.”

Zane opened his eyes and Casi was looking at him smiling. “There you go big boy. I’m almost there. Maybe, if you’re good, I’ll let you do what you’re wanting to.”

“What do I want?”

“You want to slam up into me.”

Zane chuckled and nodded. “Yeah I do.”

Casi forced himself down and sucked in his breath hard, adjusting over Zane with little rolls of his hips. It was driving Zane crazy the way he was moving on top of him. He had so rarely found a man who wanted to bottom on top let alone insist on it. Casi was already the most sensual and unique man he’d ever met.

Casi lifted up and set his hands down on either side of Zane’s chest then. “Now, fuck me.”

Zane didn’t need to be told twice and he lifted his hips thrusting hard into Casi. The heat gripping his cock felt like a vacuum pulling him in and as soon as his hips pulled away they were drawn back up. He started fucking Casi fast and deep while Casi’s eyes rolled back and he screamed out. The sound was amazing, so raw and hungry it affected Zane’s whole body making him go even faster in his attack on Casi’s ass.

Casi didn’t stay still. After letting Zane do all the moving for the first few minutes he started rolling his hips heavily, meeting Zane’s thrusts, getting Zane’s cock exactly where he wanted it, hitting his sweet spot over and over deliciously.

“I…I need on top now.”

“Do it.”

Zane rolled them over and he continued barely missing a beat. Casi wove his fingers together behind Zane’s head and he brought their mouths together to kiss as hard and deep as they were fucking. He had to hold on tight just to keep the kiss going so hard was his body being rocked with the thrusts of Zane’s hips and he finally let his head fall back on the mattress. Zane was staring into his eyes and Casi saw the lust there every bit as much as he was feeling it. Zane’s pupils were blown, his eyes dark and set on him.

“You’re so fucking beautiful, oh Casimiro, god you feel good around me.”

Hearing his name, his full name, did something to Casi, and he smiled and attacked Zane’s neck while whispering to him, “Say it again, say my name baby, oh fuck say it.”

“Casimiro…”

Zane felt the teeth on the tender skin of his neck and felt his climax coming on. He reached down and started stroking Casi’s cock while Casi’s mouth moved to his collar bone. Casi came first and his back arched so much it was hard to keep his rhythm, but he managed it and soon he was screaming with his own orgasm, dropping his face to Casi’s chest sucking some of the come that was freshly sprayed there. Casi relaxed to the bed finally and his breathing was ragged but he started laughing. Zane looked up at him after he felt like he could move his head and smiled.

“What?”

“I really didn’t think I could do that. You are so big, but it was…it was fucking great!”

Zane laughed and let himself fall out of Casi as he moved to the side of him and turned Casi’s face. His mouth was puffy and his hair sweaty and he didn’t think it was possible but the younger man looked even better.

“That was really great.”

“I need a shower. I think you should join me.”

“Wouldn’t miss it for the world.”

After a long hot shower in which Casi finally let Zane suck him they made it back to bed and before long they were kissing themselves into arousal again. They made love slower the second time but it was no less passionate and finally when they were both spent Casi curled up next to Zane, kissing a line over his chest while his leg wound around Zane’s. Zane stayed awake long after Casi was breathing shallow and steadily. He watched his face turn peaceful, looking much younger than his twenty years. He was so small looking without his huge personality taking over and Zane fell in love with him, telling himself how stupid to think it could happen so fast.

In the morning his heart broke wide open. He opened his eyes to see the same empty pillow he’d seen so many times and he rolled to his back to stare at the ceiling thinking even more adamantly at how stupid he’d been to think he could fall in love so quickly. Finally he got up and went to his drawer to pull out a pair of sweats to head to the bathroom.

On his way down the hall he heard Yvette’s laughter coming from the kitchen. He forgot about the bathroom for a minute and headed there to cry on her shoulder about how he’d found a great guy and lost him again all in one night but as he rounded the corner he saw that she wasn’t laughing at something on the small TV they kept on the counter there or from a phone call. Casi was sitting at the table drinking a cup of coffee in one of his big t-shirts. They both looked up at him when he walked in and Casi smirked.

“Damn, I didn’t know firemen could sleep so hard!”

He smiled and went to him bending down to kiss him slow then stood back up and smiled at Yvette before telling Casi, “Maybe I wouldn’t have if someone hadn’t worn me out.”

Casi asked Yvette, “Is he always so grumpy when he wakes up?”

Yvette rolled her eyes and got up to hand her friend a coffee cup. “Yeah, and you should see how some of the guys I have stay over get scared when he comes in like that.”

Casi giggled. “I bet!”

“Is that what you two have been doing, talking about my faults? Nice way to run him off Yvette!”

“You ain’t getting rid of me that easy.”
