Chapter 16
Bailey didn't exactly decide not to say anything to Matt about the rumors, he just kept putting it off. He couldn't bring it up with him. Picturing Matt's face as he told him just stopped him dead.
Today they had plans for an excursion to an island, and he decided to keep his mind on that.
They had to make sure they packed everything they needed since they were going to a small, wild island and there was nowhere to buy anything there.
They might even have the place all to themselves if they got lucky.
Matt had shown Joey a map of the island and told him that pirates might have buried some treasure there. That got Joey's imagination going. "We're gonna find treasure!" he said.
"That's why you need this," Matt told him and held up the beach pail and little shovel that were absolutely the right tools for some serious treasure hunting.
They rented a motorboat and Matt drove to Pelican Island. For Joey, that boat ride might have been enough. He loved it and Matt took a few circles around the island just for his sake.
The island was pretty, wild and untouched, with no buildings or houses in sight, just some trees on one side and a sandy beach on the other. And there was no one else there.
Joey was running around and exploring, looking for where treasure might be hidden. Matt and Bailey were looking for the designated camp site. It had a place where they were allowed to build a fire and a space to put up a tent.
"I can't believe we're camping out here," Bailey said as he set down their cooler with food and drinks and looked around at the ocean on every side of them.
"It will be fun. I just hope I won't be crowding you guys," Matt said as he started to unpack the bag with the tent. They had only one tent and all three of them were sharing it.
"As long as we all fit," Bailey said and smiled at Matt.
They had the tent up, and Joey went in excitedly. "Are you looking forward to sleeping in there?" Bailey asked him.
"Not just me, all of us," Joey said and poked his head out of the tent.
"I'm ready for a swim," Matt said and he was already taking his clothes off.
Not letting himself just stare at him, Bailey stripped down to his swim trunks too. Then they went swimming and diving.
It was always wonderful to watch Matt in the water, the movements of his powerful body and how much fun he had. Joey was getting so good at swimming and having more fun with it than ever. He spotted some fish in the water and then felt them against his legs and feet.
"The fish like me," Joey said. "Can we take them home?"
"They are home here," Bailey told him.
Matt swam over to him and kept his voice low as he said. "I kind of want to swim all the way around the island."
"Of course you do," Bailey said and glared at him a little.
"I won't do it if you don't want me to," Matt said.
Bailey hated to keep him from doing what he wanted. "OK, but don't be reckless. Swim in as soon as you get too tired."
"I will," Matt promised and he swam away to deeper waters.
Bailey was uneasy, but he tried not to show it as he and Joey got out of the water and followed along with him on land. They had to cut across some parts of the island where the edge wasn't walkable.
Matt slowed down for the last part of his swim and came out on the same stretch of beach where they all went into the water. He dropped on the sand and stretched out his arms and legs. "That was a workout."
"When we get home, Joey will make you a medal out of cardboard then it will all be worth it," Bailey told him and handed him a bottle of water from the cooler.
"It's already worth it," Matt said and smiled up at him and Joey.
They spent the rest of the day exploring the island, taking in the sights and sounds, and of course having a picnic. Joey kept looking for treasure, digging in random places, finding only sand and rocks.
That night, they had a fire going and stared up at the night sky full of stars. Once Joey went to sleep in the tent, Matt and Bailey stayed by the low fire.
Suddenly Matt whispered, "I can't help being into you."
Bailey stared at him, the glow of the fire on his skin. He didn't know what to say. Then Matt reached over and slid his hand over Bailey's, entwining their fingers.
When Bailey didn't pull away, Matt gazed at him kind of hopefully. "Maybe you're into me a little too?"
"A lot," Bailey said and leaned over to kiss him.
That was all he meant to do, but as their mouths sealed over each other and their tongues explored, twisted, Bailey ended up on the ground on top of Matt. The flap of the tent was shut now and it faced away from them. That meant Bailey had no reason to climb off Matt or to stop grinding into him.
Now Matt's hands were reaching under his t-shirt, roaming over his skin.
Matt was pushing his hand down the back of the waistband of Bailey's swim trunks to grope his ass.
Then his hand moved to the front. Bailey made room between them but didn't stop kissing him.
His hand went down over Matt's abs and inside his swim trunks.
As soon as Bailey took hold of his cock, Matt arched up and cursed against his lips.
While one hand stroked Matt's shaft and cupped his balls, his other hand was moving under his t-shirt, stroking his chest. Leaning down, Bailey pushed up his t-shirt.
He let his lips and tongue brush over his nipples then he kissed his way down.
Matt's chest and abs were amazing, but Bailey was dying to suck him off.
"I promise to be quiet," Matt gasped as Bailey freed his cock. Then he almost broke his promise as Bailey wrapped his lips around the head of his cock and licked.
Matt was hissing through his teeth and Bailey was worshiping his amazing cock, wanting to pleasure him forever. He did his best to make it last, sucking slowly, easing off when Matt got close, but then he had to let him come, needed to.
His release felt so good to Bailey and made him even harder.
He was so grateful when Matt switched places with him, kissed his mouth then bent down to kiss along the length of his cock to the tip.
Bailey didn't think he would last, but Matt could be merciless for such a sweet guy.
He brought Bailey to the edge then stopped to just lick him and gently suck his balls.
When Matt finally made him come, it was the best thing Bailey ever felt. His whole body shuddered with the powerful waves of pleasure.
Matt laid next to him and took him in his arms, giving him a long, thorough kiss. Then he whispered, "I want to sleep out here so I can keep holding you. Is that OK?"
Bailey caressed his beautiful face and nodded. How could he say no to a question like that.
