Chapter 24 Kyle Dylan Parker vs. Aaron Hunter: His erotic addiction...The party!

***

“Earth to Kyle…” Aaron snapped his fingers, trying to get Kyle’s attention.

“What?”

“Why are you staring at me?” Aaron chuckled.

“Was I?”

That got a laugh out of Aaron. “You know you were.”

Aaron looked simply delicious in white jeans which was riding low on his hips, a fitted white t-shirt with just the front tucked in, and a maroon leather jacket that had a grey knitted collar that matched his dreamy grey eyes. And those classy maroon and grey boots were just perfect.

“You look good.” Kyle couldn’t hide his look of admiration.

“So do you,” Aaron breathed. “If not for the fact that you need to be there early to greet your guests, I’d have dragged you back upstairs.”

Kyle looked absolutely hot in his black jeans, black slim-cut button-down shirt, untucked, and a brown blazer. His classy brown leather shoes completed his suave look perfectly.

“Good idea. Let’s get outta here,” Kyle chuckled. “My brother will kill me if I show up late. Come on.”

After a delectable dinner in the elegant banquet hall, they’d all been asked to move outside into the beautiful botanical garden with its lovely fountain where the cake was to be cut. The guests, numbered about two hundred and fifty, chanted ‘cut’ to Kyle and Ken who were standing behind the beautiful huge birthday cake in the shape of the number thirty. In lovely red, white, and blue colours, the cake was absolutely beautiful.

Aaron watched as Kyle and Ken cut into the cake amidst cheers and applause. Both Kyle and Ken looked happy and that made Aaron happy. He’d met Ken earlier and thought he was a really cool and lovely person. He also thought Ken’s boyfriend, Stephen, was a very pleasant person. They’d all shared a few drinks till Ken had to reluctantly leave with Kyle to welcome their guests.

“We’re going to have a long chat later, Aaron,” Ken had told Aaron, then he’d kissed Stephen and left to welcome their guests.

Aaron liked Ken but he was definitely not looking forward to that chat. It was one thing wanting to show himself losing it on camera for a good cause. It was, however, another thing showing himself rutting like a bitch in heat to his boyfriend’s brother. He should have asked to see the video first Aaron thought. It would have been better to know exactly what Ken had seen. At least Ken hadn’t looked disgusted with him and that was a good thing.

Aaron almost jumped out of his skin when the sounds of fireworks went off, brightening the sky as though it was a fourth of July celebration. It made the celebration unique and distinctive. People screamed in delight and waiters started popping bottles of champagne all over. Then glasses of champagne were passed around to the guests. Chris, one of Kyle’s friends stepped up closer to the twins and screamed to everyone’s hearing;

“To the ballsiest twins I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. We drink to those who love you, and to those who fuck you. Fuck the rest! To Kyle and Ken!”

“To Kyle and Ken.” Everyone responded with raised glasses even as they laughed uncontrollably. Aaron couldn’t help but laugh too. That was fucked up but funny.

Kyle’s friends were a bunch of fun guys. They made the party more fun with their humorous attitude. Unfortunately, Aaron had the impression they didn’t like him due to their behaviour towards him earlier on.

**

Earlier that evening, Aaron had met all the guys except Damon and his husband, Tristan. Kyle had explained that Damon had been out of the country for the past three days and would be coming to the party directly from the airport. Tristan was to pick him up from the airport so they could come together.

“Where the fuck are those two?” A dark-haired hunk had growled as they were getting seated for dinner, obviously referring to Damon and Tristan.

“I think the flight delayed a bit due to weather conditions.” A handsome hunk who kept kissing a really beautiful young lady paused long enough in his kissing, to respond.

Aaron was a bit surprised when Kyle didn’t make any attempt to introduce him to the guys, who were obviously the friends he’d told him about. Was it possible it had escaped him, Aaron wondered. Aaron could however guess who Matt was because according to Kyle, Matt was the only dark-skinned person amongst them.

“Happy birthday Kyle,” An elderly woman, who Aaron realized was Senator Julia Quinn, said beside them. Kyle left the table to go and talk to her.

“Hi. I’m Dean,” The dark-haired guy who’d asked about Damon and Tristan said abruptly to Aaron.

A surprised Aaron cleared his throat and stuck out his hand for a handshake. “Nice to meet you, Dean. I’m…”

“I already know who you are,” Dean drawled, looking down at Aaron’s outstretched hand. “You have to earn that, buddy,” he said without touching Aaron’s outstretched hand and then turned around, raised his palm, and slapped it against the already raised palm of the kisser. Aaron was dumbfounded. So was the beauty who was being kissed.

“What…” The beauty started but her man quickly turned to capture her lips in a hot open-mouthed kiss which Aaron knew was only meant to shut her up. It worked.

“I’m Chris,” One of the guys growled, the scowl on his face so deep Aaron wondered whether he’d done something wrong.

“Aaron,” Aaron said automatically but this time didn’t attempt to stretch forth his hand.

They were joined by two ladies then, a pretty blonde and a really hot lady with a stylish Halle Berry haircut, who was busily talking to someone on her cell phone. Immediately after the pretty blonde went to sit beside Matt, Aaron guessed correctly that she was Jen, Matt’s fiancée. The other lady bent and dropped a kiss on Dean’s lips. That made her Kayla, Aaron thought, Cole’s PA who was also Dean’s girlfriend who, according to Kyle, the guys sometimes referred to as their Drill Sergeant due to her bossy nature.

Matt introduced himself with a smirk on his face. Ty did the same with a hard glare that actually made him look like a mafia boss who had finally caught someone who owed him. Michael looked downright bored when he mentioned his name and Cole didn’t even look towards Aaron when he mentioned his. At least Aaron finally got to put a face to each name and could correctly conclude that the gorgeous young lady Cole couldn’t keep his lips off was none other than Briana, his fiancée. Kayla was still on her phone but was at that moment, staring openmouthed at guys.

“Listen, Danny,” Kayla said to whoever was on the line, “I’ll call you right back.” Then she hung up and planted her fists on her hips in an angry pose. Then she glanced from one man to the next. “What the fuck is wrong with you guys?”

Five pairs of eyes turned towards Dean, the look in them clearly saying, ‘control your woman’. Dean however didn’t seem like he wanted to risk doing any such thing.

“Kay, are you done going over the song choice with Rihanna and U…” Cole started but got cut off before he could finish his sentence.

“I don’t think I have to tell Rihanna and UB40 the songs to sing, do I?” She snapped, impressing a still confused Aaron. “You bunch should be ashamed of yourselves.” With that, she stepped closer to Aaron. “Hi, I’m Kayla,” Kayla said with a brilliant smile at Aaron.

“I figured,” Aaron replied, smiling right back. “I’m Aaron.”

Then to Aaron’s surprised, Kayla bent and kissed him on both cheeks. “Why don’t you come with me to check on the artists? I could really use your help. You see, these guys don’t have taste.” She said throwing her hands to indicate the squad, ignoring their growls. “And since law has nothing to do with music, Jen can’t help. Briana, who actually could, is tired from just finishing her exams. So that leaves…you. Please…” By now Briana and Jen were cracking up with laughter whilst the guys scowled some more…well, except Michael who actually looked amused.

“I’d love to help you, Kayla,” Aaron said, standing to take the hand Kayla stretched to him.

“Hey, wait up,” Briana said, getting up to give Aaron a hug. Jen didn’t hesitate to do the same.

“Take no notice of them,” Jen whispered into Aaron’s ear. “They’re a bunch of assholes. But they are great. You’ll see for yourself later.”

“Really?” Aaron whispered back. “I doubt that.”

“You’ll see,” Jen said with a wink.

Kyle came back to the table then and sat down, taking in the amusingly stern faces of his friends. “What did I miss?” He drawled.

No one answered Kyle’s question. Without a word to Kyle, Aaron allowed himself to be pulled away by Kayla, whose last dark scowl, was towards Kyle.
