Silver and Gold

Chapter One
Geoffrey Radcliffe stared intently into the mirror, grimacing
at the reflection, then wincing as the grimace accentuated his
laugh lines.
Laugh lines, c'mon, just call them wrinkles.
He
ran his fingers through his straight, dark hair and froze.
Oh
shit.
He peered closer at his hairline, holding his hair back
with his hand and angling his head so that his temples were
just inches from the mirror. A healthy dose of grey splashed
on each pulse-point, while more isolated strands were
beginning to snake through his conservative hairstyle. When
had that happened?
Far from narcissistic, he was embarrassed by his sudden
interest in his appearance, and even more embarrassed by
what had prompted it. God, he felt like he was a kid back in
school again, mooning around over the Big Man On Campus.
Jesse Sullivan.
His one and only boyfriend as a young man;
his first blissful, and eventually heartbreaking, relationship
that thrust him firmly into the more socially accepted side of
his bi wiring. Geoff sighed at his image one last time before
giving himself a mental shake and retreating to his desk,
staring blankly at his laptop's screensaver, then reaching out
with a finger and nudging the touchpad, bringing Jesse's e-
mail back into glaring focus.
Dear Geoff, it began. Such a polite and generic opening to
something that rocked the foundations of everything he had
made himself believe for the past two decades.

I can't believe it's been so long, over 20 years. I never
thought at the time that we'd fall so completely out of touch
when we went our separate ways.
Separate ways? Geoff snorted, rereading the missive for
the umpteenth time. That was putting it mildly. Nothing like a
little revisionist history.
I've wanted to get in touch with you for a long time. But
what finally did it for me was hearing my mom talk about
your divorce. Ironically enough, mine just went through as
well.
She also said that your parents mentioned you're coming
back for a week over the holidays, and I'll be at home then as
well. I'd really like to get together. Since there's going to be
the usual houseful back home, I've volunteered to stay at a
hotel.
Geoff felt a disconcerting shock of lust burn through him at
the thought of Jesse and a hotel room. He fought to breathe
normally, reminding himself he was at work, and
surreptitiously adjusted his half-hard cock in his suit pants.
We have a lot to catch up on, and I'm hoping that you
want to see me as well. Give me a call, my numbers are listed
below, and let's set something up. I've missed you, G-man.
Hope to hear from you soon. Jess
Jesse was going to be home for the holidays, at a hotel,
and they were adults now....
Merry Christmas to me.
Geoff
scrubbed viciously at his face. He needed to get a grip. There
was nothing in the note to hint that this would be anything
other than a reunion of two old friends. For all he knew, the
whole incident in their youth was just Jesse having a one-time
