You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

Roger's POV

"Brian!"

I launched off the bed and flung myself at him.  He almost fell backwards from the weight of me.  Freddie laughed and jumped out of the way as Brian grabbed my waist and held me in place.  My arms wrapped around him and I quickly found his lips.  They were a bit rough but they were his.  I kissed him firmly and he kissed me back.  I moved my tongue across his lip but he pulled away from me.  I whined from the loss of contact.  He held me out in front of him and lifted my chin with his hand.  I looked him in the eyes and gazed at the warmth radiating from him.  Those hazel orbs had my heart dancing and I realized the skin around them was really dark.  His whole face was dark.  He also had a beard!  Why didn't I feel that when I kissed him?  

"Hang on!  I am a mess..  I need a proper bath before I stink this flat up and run you off. "  Brian bellowed at me between laughs.  I didn't care and pulled myself back against him.  I rested my face in his shoulder and hair.  I inhaled the scent of dirt, ocean water, coal smog and just some of Brian underneath it all.  I definitely smelled a man in there and it was wonderful.  He pushed at me again and I let go.  He held me at arms length, smiled and said, "Hi Roger..."  How I missed that calm, soft voice.  It washed over me like a dream. 

"Hi Brian..." I responded and was surprised at how shy I sounded.  I knew I was blushing from the heat on my face.  I was pulled out of my haze by the sound of Freddie giggling.   "Oh...you are too much!  I will be downstairs opening up.  Don't worry about work today Rog.  The welcome home committee and all!" he winked and walked to the door.  "Welcome home Brian.  We both missed you."  He stepped out and closed the door.

"Well....let's get you in the bath!  No time to waste!" I shouted as I grabbed at his jacket and pulled it off him.  I got it off his arms and dropped it on the floor.  "Get out of those clothes, Bri!"  I scooted past him as he began to disrobe and headed into the bathroom.  I quickly got the water running and found the right temperature.  I plugged the tub and it began to fill.   I turned to see Brian standing in his underpants staring at me.  I almost fell off the rim of the tub.  

His entire body was bronze from the sun.    He was sun-kissed and so fucking sexy!  My mouth went slack and my crotch tightened.  I fidgeted on the corner of the bath.  I couldn't wait to taste him all over.  I looked him up and down and savored all of him.  Yes, his hair was a mess but piled on top of that dark skin it was really hot!  His eyes stood out against the dark hair on his cheeks and chin.  I had never seen Brian in a beard.  It was strange but really masculine.  It made him look a bit older but definitely all man.  As I continued to survey the landscape in front of me, it began to move.  He walked into the bathroom and came over to the tub.  I immediately reached out to touch his chest.  He moved into me so I could press against him.  I ran my hand up and down his torso.   My erection was rock solid and my shorts felt uncomfortable.  I let him go and he bent down to pull off his pants.  His privates were as white as mine and I have to admit I was relieved.  For a minute I wondered if he had sunbathed nude and I was immediately jealous of his research partners seeing him.  I looked up and smiled at him.  He grinned back and began to climb into the tub.  

Once he was in he slid down to cover himself in the warm water and his hair floated on the surface while he was submerged.  He moved back up and flipped his hair back.  Water went flying everywhere and I got wet!   "Hey!" I yelled at him trying to move away.  He grabbed my arm and held me in place.  "Don't you dare leave!" he shouted back.  His eyes were fixed on me and I could see longing behind his slight nod at humor.  I stopped moving and he settled into the tub.  I grabbed a washcloth and dipped it in the tub.  He took the bar of soap and handed it to me.  I lathered it up and began to wash him.  He didn't ask me and I didn't say why I started cleaning him, but I wanted to wash away the sadness that remained from that last letter.  It still troubled me.  He closed his eyes while I moved across him.  I carefully picked up his arms to clean his pits and his sides.  His limbs were limp for me and I wondered if he was half asleep.  He was silent.  I was gentle with his face and used shampoo on his beard to soften the hair.  He grinned at the tickle of my hands rinsing it out.  When I washed his thighs I was tender for his sake as well as mine.  I moved up to clean his cock and balls and gently cupped both while moving the water across them to rinse.  He moaned a bit and did get stiff with my handling.  It didn't help my situation.  I was still really hard.  I ignored it and reached over to run the cloth down the length of his long legs.  I paid close attention to his feet.  They were worn from neglect and got a good scrubbing.  As I finished up and moved to sit back down on the tub edge, Brian reached out and grabbed me.   I slipped and fell forward and he sat up and pulled me into the tub on top of him.  I flailed about and he took hold of me and turned me to lay on top of him.  My clothes were completely soaked and the bathroom floor was a lake.  

"What the fuck Bri...hmmpph"  my tirade was cut off by his rough lips crashing into mine.  I completely melted into him.  He pushed me close as he locked our mouths and bodies together. Heat tunneled through me and I grinded into him.  He held my head and kissed me so hard I thought my head would explode.  His tongue was in my mouth and then moved across my face.  I could feel the slight burn of his beard on my skin.  God it was sexy.  He went around to my neck and began biting and sucking.  I could feel his pent up sexual tension release and he tore at my clothes while keeping his mouth on my skin.  I was overwhelmed and confined by my position in the tub.  He sensed my problem and pulled me up to stand.  He followed and stripped me naked.  He piled my soaking clothes in the tub and stepped out of the tub.  His feet splashed in the water.  I stepped out and he immediately grabbed me by my waist and pulled me up to his chest.  I put my arms around his neck.  He began to lift and I held on as he grabbed me by my ass and held me up and started walking to the bedroom.  We dripped water in a trail to the bedroom door.

He laid us both down on the mattress and he began to devour me with his mouth.  He moved like a wildfire across my body and lit fires all over.  I moaned so much my throat hurt.  I was almost shaking from his passion.  My cock was throbbing from his exploring and I knew I was almost finished.  His mouth returned to mine and I slammed myself against his crotch to finish myself off.  I clutched onto him and my stomach tensed.  "Brian!" I shouted and spread myself all over both of us.  He kept hold of me and did not stop his kissing and grinding.  I moved my hand down to his cock and grabbed hold.  He shuddered at my touch and I began to stroke him.  He kept his mouth against mine and moaned heavily as he jerked in my hand and released on us.  He tensed up in response and bit at my bottom lip.  He then made a deep sigh and relaxed.  

We held each other for awhile and didn't move.  It was so fast but glorious to be together again. I knew we had time for many other things later in the day.  I finally moved away from him and grabbed a discarded shirt from the floor.  I cleaned us both up and moved to lay against him.  He was on his back and pulled me over to rest my head on his chest.  He wrapped his arms around and me and held me close.  His damp hair was dripping onto mine and the sheets were wet from our bath.  

"Bri," I whispered into his chest.  He squeezed me and answered.

"Yes, Rog."  I smiled hearing him say my name.

"I missed you."

I waited for his response and there was silence.  I got nervous.  I felt his chest move and heard him sniffle.  He was crying.  I moved to pull my head up and look at him.  Tears were streaming down his face and disappeared into his beard.  I put my hand up and swept some from his cheek.  His eyes were closed and the tears slipped out in waves.  

''Brian....don't cry honey...your home!" I whimpered to him as I felt my eyes well up in response.  He grabbed me and clutched me tight to his chest.  I straddled him and wrapped my arms around him and held him as hard as I could.

We fell asleep holding each other.  Brian never spoke a word.  His tears told me everything.
