Bailey hurried to his own room and then to the bathroom so he could get ready and join them. It turned out that he didn't have a reason to sneak around. When he went into the kitchen, Joey greeted him with a smile and then said, "Good morning, Daddy. Matt said you had a sleepover together because you're grown up buddies."
"Uh," Bailey looked from him to Matt.
Matt had a smile for him too. "Joey saw you weren't in your room this morning and he was worried about where you went."
"Matt said you would never leave without telling me," Joey said.
"Of course I wouldn't," Bailey confirmed. He was glad Matt had found a way to explain that they slept together. But it did make Bailey wonder what he should say to Joey about his relationship with Matt.
Matt was saying something to him and Bailey realized he hadn't heard him. "Sorry. I spaced."
Between flipping some bacon strips and pouring some scrambled eggs in a pan, Matt handed him a cup of coffee. "Better have your coffee. The bacon is ready, the eggs will be done in no time then we can start."
"What about the pizza night?" Joey was asking.
"That's what I was telling you," Matt said to Bailey. "When we were outside this morning, Chad and Franco came by with their kids and invited Joey for a pizza making party at their place tonight."
"Just me, Daddy," Joey said. "It's only for kids."
"Oh, I see. That's nice of them," Bailey said and now he was thinking that would give him and Matt some time alone.
It turned out Matt was making plans for tonight too. After Joey was at the neighbors', Matt and Bailey went swimming and then had a late dinner on the porch. Matt ordered them a pizza and poured some wine. "I didn't want you to be jealous of the pizza they are making over at Chad and Franco's," Matt said.
"Are you sure that isn't you?" Bailey accused him and Matt grinned.
"Maybe," he said and leaned over to kiss Bailey.
Afterward they went for a night swim then walked along the beach and Bailey told Matt, "I'm going to tell Joey we're seeing each other."
"Is that how you're going to put it, or are you going to tell him I'm your boyfriend?" Matt challenged him.
"Should I?" Bailey said and felt his chest get tight. They stopped and turned to face each other.
"That's what I want to be to you. What do you say?" Matt asked.
"I want that too. It will make me very happy to call you my boyfriend," Bailey said and he threw his arms around Matt.
They kissed passionately on an empty stretch of beach. Though other people were walking along the shore, they seemed very far away. Then Bailey noticed that they were next to the dunes, where Matt wanted them to go on the night of the bonfire party.
Taking him by the hand, Bailey led the way into the dunes. "I owe you this," he told Matt and they walked among the dunes until they found a hidden spot.
They made out slowly at first, but then a noise startled them and they froze. Laughing, they started kissing and groping again but now they were frantic, hurried. Bailey rushed to unzip Matt's fly and get him in his hand, in his mouth. Matt tasted salty from their swim and Bailey moaned around his cock.
Matt's hands were in his hair and he was calling his name, cursing under his breath. Hearing him drove Bailey on, made him suck deeper, harder, needing Matt's release almost as much as Matt did.
Then Bailey was tasting, swallowing and ready to come himself. Matt pushed him down and freed his cock, cupped his balls and then hummed around his cock. Matt was blowing him so thoroughly like he wanted him to come right now, but then he pulled up and kissed his mouth while Bailey whimpered and moaned.
When Matt went back to sucking, it was slower but no less thorough. Every second, Bailey was getting closer and closer until he was coming and cursing while saying Matt's name.
Lying in the dunes, they held each other for a long while. Then they went for another swim. Bailey kept wanting to tell Matt he loved him, but he got choked up every time he tried. It was too much, but love for Matt filled him up, made him hurt and made him happy.
Chapter 21
The next morning, Bailey planned to be up first, but Joey beat him to it. Finding him playing in the living room, Bailey kissed the top of his little head. "Good morning. I guess you wanted to help me make breakfast."
"Pancakes!" Joey said. He was a big fan.
Bailey one-upped that. "Big pancakes."
