Mrs. Santorre answered the door. Bear was expecting Jake so she showed him inside.
Bear bellowed, “Brian, go upstairs and watch television or read while I speak to Jake.”
“Ah, Papa, I never get to hear the good stuff.” Bear gave him a playful swat as he went by.
“You seem somewhat more urgent than you did this afternoon,” Bear said to Jake as he showed him into his study. “Brandy?”
“Yes, I have a driver outside so I don’t have to worry about getting Davey home.” Bear poured them both a snifter of brandy. “Harry, Davey’s former roommate, whose name is on the apartment lease showed up tonight and wants to move back in and kick Davey out.”
“Can he do that?”
“I need to look at the sublet lease they signed. I paid Davey’s rent for four months, so Harry would have to refund Davey four k that I don’t think he has. He tried to intimidate Davey, but I didn’t let him. The world won’t cut this kid a break. He grew up in shitty foster homes then an abusive group home, and still he maintained a perfect four point oh grade average through high school and the two years of college it took for him to become a paralegal.”
“That’s impressive. Brian’s very bright and he only managed a three point eight.” Bear took a sip of his brandy after warming the snifter in his hands. “What would have happened if Davey had vacated the apartment?” Bear cocked his head.
“I’ll bet Harry would have sued him for the rent even if he wanted to live in the apartment himself just because he’s a dick. Well, no one is taking advantage of my Davey.”
“Your Davey?” Bear asked.
“Yes, my Davey…I’m going to bed and collar him after he finishes Bull’s class and takes his first spanking. First bed him, then collar him. He’ll be mine a week from Saturday.”
“A little sure of yourself, aren’t you?” Bear gave him a mild smile.
“He lets me hold him when he sleeps and last night I kissed the hell out of him and he didn’t object. I have to go slow on the sex. The sum total of his experience is two blowjobs in college against a bathroom wall.”
“Bull has a nurse there tonight. The subs are scheduled for their HIV tests. You got yours the week before last.”
Jake’s eyes brightened. “I can do him bare.”
“Don’t be so quick out of the starting gate. You have to find out how he feels about you first.”
Jake heard Brian gasp on the stairs. Bear chuckled.
“You knew he was there?” Jake lifted a brow.
“Of course I did, Brian is like a nosey old biddy.”
“But you love me anyway, Papa.”
Bear sighed. “Go back up and watch television. If Jake or I hear you on the stairs again there will be
consequences
.”
“Yes, Papa.”
“Anyway the subs will help me with Davey. They like him and he’s baking for Saturday.”
Bear raised his eyebrow. “And this is significant, why?”
“Because that means that they accept him as one of their own. Greg and Jim both called him at the office today.”
“Yeah, that means they’ve adopted him. You can’t get away now if you wanted to, they’ll have you hogtied and Davey collared before you file your next brief.”
“I’ll have to commission a collar for him—one with a sapphire on the lock to match his eyes.” Jake’s eyes clouded over.
“You’re sappy.” Bear leaned back in his chair and guffawed.
“You’re damn right I am, did you ever look at yourself the week you met Brian? I’ve got nothing on you. I’m going to try to take things a little further tonight. I hope Bull doesn’t wear their asses out in class. I want him to know I’m courting him.” Jake looked at his watch. It was time to get Davey.
When Jake pulled up, Davey was outside talking to Jamie. He heard Jamie say, “He just showed up, no warning?”
“Yeah, and my phone was never off. I always made sure I had minutes in case I got an interview. I thought I had a burglar. Although a burglar would have been disappointed, there wasn’t much to take.”
“Change the locks. Call a locksmith and have the landlady let him in to change the locks. He can give her the keys and she’ll give them to you. I’ll bet good money she didn’t like Harry.” Jamie patted Davey on the back.
“She didn’t. How did you know?” Davey’s face was alive with curiosity.
“Because he’s a fucktard, that’s why. If he disrespected you that badly after living with you for four years, he isn’t the type to be nice to the landlady and I’ll take that same bet that she likes you.”
Davey smiled.
“Ha, I knew I was right.” Jamie did a little jig. “That fucktard will get his. Jake will make sure of it. By the way, in case Jim hasn’t told you, I got it straight from Bull, Jake really likes you.”
Jake walked up behind Jamie. “Yes, he does. Now let me take Davey home. He needs his rest.”
§ § §
They left an astounded Jamie on the sidewalk in front of the studio and got into the car.
Jake kissed Davey all the way home. At first, Davey was nervous about the driver, but Jake asked him to put up the panel in between the compartments. “See, privacy.”
Jake held Davey over his lap and kissed his neck and a spot behind his ears. He pulled Davey’s shirt out of his pants and felt the bare skin of Davey’s chest. Moving the shirt and undershirt out of his way, he put his head down and began to suck and nip at Davey’s nubs.
Davey was frantic. He had to control himself or he’d come in his pants and he didn’t think that him coming in his pants was what Jake had in mind. Jake moved his mouth back to Davey’s neck and palmed his cock on the outside of Davey’s slacks.
“No, you can’t, please.”
“Why not?” Jake asked in a deceptively mild tone of voice.
“Because I’m going to blow and I’ll get cum on my new jeans.”
Jake started to laugh out loud. Davey didn’t think it was so funny.
“Cum can stain…” he said, a little belligerent.
“Don’t worry about the jeans, baby. Abercrombie has plenty more of them, but you’re right. We’re almost home, we should take this inside.”
Davey lifted his head to see the now familiar building. Jake straightened Davey’s clothing then he grabbed Davey’s hand and shouted to Stanley, “Could you please get Regis and the trolley? We have boxes in the trunk.”
“Yes, Mr. Cohen. Regis will have your things taken upstairs right away.”

Jamie was on the phone to Brian. “I was telling Davey what Bull told me and got busted. Jake was right behind me. I expected him to call Bull and to get a shellacking. He just smiled and said, ‘Yes, he does’ and left with Davey without even telling Bull. Do you think he didn’t rat me out because he actually asked us for help?”
“Probably,” said Brian. “While Jake was here Bear told me to go to my room and watch TV, I turned it on low and went back down the stairs to listen. I swear Bear knew I was there, he always does, but he didn’t say anything until I heard what I needed to know. They’re actively helping us. I don’t know what to make of that.”
“Neither do I.”

When they got to the penthouse it was almost ten. “Pick out whatever you want from the Chinese menu and I’ll call it in for delivery. I had Marla feed Bandit before she left.”
“What do you want?” Davey asked.
“Order a little of everything. Tell them who it’s for and that there are two of us, they can take it from there.”
Jake and Davey ate the Chinese food straight from the cartons. The restaurant gave them a wide variety of appetizers, four different meals—one chicken, one beef, one shrimp, and one pork—fried and brown rice, and a large container of soup. Davey was sure that there would be plenty left over. He was wrong. They were both hungry.
Jake patted his belly. “Tomorrow we get up at five and workout or you’ll be kicking me out of bed because I’m fat.”
Davey turned to him with a serious look on his face. “That will never happen.” Jake smiled.
Again when they were ready for bed, Jake held out his hand and Davey came right to him. Jake pulled Davey into his strong arms and Davey fell right to sleep.

Wednesday
They worked out on Wednesday morning. “I’m happy you can keep up,” Jake said as they hit the last stop on the circuit, the rowing machine. So far, Davey was able to do as many reps as Jake. Davey knew he’d be sore later, but it felt good, the two of them working out together.
Nothing noteworthy happened on Wednesday except for a partner’s meeting which was held behind closed doors in the conference room. Jake was smiling afterward but the other partners were grim. Jake didn’t say anything to Davey and Davey knew better than to ask.
He went to class after work and again, Jake hired a driver. They stopped for pizza on the way home and after they finished eating they made out the rest of the way home. Davey was so stiff he was leaking pre-cum all over his briefs. Tonight he’d have to change them before he went to bed. Thank goodness Jake had bought him additional underwear because he only had seven pairs when they met and Marla didn’t do the wash until tomorrow.
Bandit greeted them at the door and Jake gave him a few kitty treats.
Then Jake held out his hand.
“I have to change my briefs, I’ll be right in.”
“What’s wrong with your briefs?”
“Uh… They’re wet…you got me so hard I was leaking.”
“Then take them off and come to bed,” Jake told him. He took Davey’s hand to lead him into the bedroom.
“Naked?” Davey asked timidly.
“Yes, naked. I’ll take mine off too and we can be naked together.”
Davey’s eyes went wide.
“Now, Davey, it’s late.” There was a tone of command in Jake’s voice that Davey couldn’t ignore.
Davey crawled into bed and lay down waiting for Jake who was but a moment behind him.
Jake lay down beside Davey—fitting himself against Davey’s back.
“I’m going to touch you, Davey. Can I touch you?”
Davey nodded his head.
“Answer me out loud. I want you to be very clear about what we’re doing. Can I touch you sexually?”
“Yes, Sir, I want you to touch me.”
Jake moved his hand down Davey’s chest to his stomach. He stopped there for a moment then took Davey’s cock in his hand. He ran his palm over the smooth uncut surface. Davey felt Jake turn slightly and he heard a drawer open and the snick of a cap. Davey felt Jake’s coat his cock with lube.
Jake began to kiss Davey’s neck and shoulders. His fingers started to move up and down Davey’s cock. Dave’s body shook with desire. He tried to turn around.
Jake said in a low voice, “Stay where you are. I’m going to jack you off.”
“But what about you?”
“Who’s the captain of this ship?”
“You are, S…Jake.”
“You already gave me permission, so it’s up to me to decide how it’s done.”
“Okay…” Davey said in a quiet voice.
Jake began to slowly move his hands, up and down Davey’s cock. He began to increase pressure and speed. Davey said, “I won’t last.”
“You will.” Jake stopped and began again.
He did it four times. Davey was begging, pleading with Jake. “Please, Jake, anything you want, please just let me come.”
“Anything I want?”
“Anything, please…”
“On Saturday night, at the club, in a private room I want to spank you.”
“Yes…yes…”
“You know what you just agreed to do?” Jake’s hand fell away from Davey’s cock.
“You’re going to spank me. I was going to ask you to anyway.”
Jake started jacking Davey hard. It didn’t take but a minute before Davey was spurting like a fountain. He felt some wetness on his back. Jake had come too.

Thursday
Thursday morning was a repeat of Wednesday. Davey got up and fed Bandit. They went to the gym first, then Davey prepared eggs, bacon, home fries and toast.
When they got into the office, everyone was staring at Davey as if he had two heads. Today it seemed that there was more talk than yesterday. Small groups gathered around desks and shut up as soon as they saw Davey go by. Finally, he asked Edith, “Did I get cooties while I was asleep last night? Why is everyone looking at me and whispering?”
“For one, the Spinelli case settled at terms very beneficial to the client. Second, something happened at the partner’s meeting. Jake made some kind of an announcement. No one has clued me in because they think I already know, they probably think you know too. We’ll know when Jake tells us.”
Late Thursday afternoon, Jake called Edith and Davey into his office and asked them to sit down.
§ § §
“We’ll be dissolving Cohen, Gilcrest and Sampson. Del Monte and I are buying out Gilcrest and Sampson and the clients will be divided amongst us. I’ll be looking for a commercial property in Princeton this weekend to start setting us up while we draw up the dissolution agreement. From our side, we’re making the practice smaller and taking on only ethical clients, not the Wall Street and hedge fund lot that Gilcrest and Sampson wanted us to represent. I’m going to take my associates and the junior partners of the old firm that follow our new ethical guidelines and don’t mind working in New Jersey. We’ll also be taking some of the paralegals. Denise and Valerie will be joining us. Edith, I know you won’t have a problem commuting to Princeton, you live in New Brunswick, don’t you?”
“This will save me money and time. Thanks for keeping me, Jake.”
“No thanks are necessary, you’ve done an excellent job for the past seven years for me and I’ll expect you to do the same in your new position as office manager.” A big smile crossed Edith’s face. “You’ll whip them into shape so we’ll have very little down time,” Jake said. “I’m lucky you’re willing to come. Davey, you’re with us too.”
CHAPTER TWELVE
Thursday Evening
The car was waiting for them in the garage when they stepped off the elevator. “I had Edith book us the suite at the Marriott for the next two weeks. We’ll be looking for office space and a house. I’ve hired a limo for you. Bear is going to take me around to some commercial properties that are for sale on Saturday instead of our usual round of golf. We may have paying tenants unless Bear convinces me otherwise. After tea, you’re going house hunting with Gerald Brand, a club member who is a realtor, along with Greg and Brian. I already have their Masters’ permission.” They got into the limo to go to Jake’s condo.
