Beyond The Blue

I’m standing in the shower, letting the water run down my body as Connor sits there looking at me “Am I ever going to get you smooth?” Connor says as the water runs down my body and I just wink at him and shake my head. “Not a chance… but at least I’m getting you hairy too” I smirk as Connor shakes his head. “You know that once I get to the date we agreed upon, I’m getting rid of all this again right?” he says as I nod and know that if he can make it then I promised to get waxed as well.

“So how was it like with the newbies? Better than your first day?” Connor asks with another smirk on his face that even though we both know Joe is a piece of shit, it’s quite hilarious that I nearly got into a fight with him on the first day.

“It was better, although Branko who I was with had the first meeting with that he is never going to forget and neither would I,” I say as Connor laughs wanting to know more of what happened on the day. “Well I was outside talking to Steph and Ange was doing her usual thing but after we finished there, I had to get my notebook out of my locker and I walked straight in there and this guy was just in a towel, still wet like he’d just been swimming and well rushing about how his towel feel down with nothing under it,” I say as Connor laughs hard.

“That is the worst possible beginning to a police career possible… did he at least have a big cock to see?” Connor says as I feel guilty about whether I should’ve looked or not which of course I did.

“Well yeah, it looked big enough from the glance that I saw… not that I looked that much” my defensiveness must be cute or something to Connor because he is laughing. “Trent, jeez I don’t care if you have a look at anyone else, fuck I would’ve as well,” he says as I let out a sigh because even though I know it would be ok, I just felt odd about how he would react.

I finish in the shower and get out as Connor grabs my towel and dries me off as he massages my back as I stand there “Yeah, well he’s an interesting character in a good way, he’s just come back from living in Europe and honestly, I think we’re gonna need to keep our eye on him just because he’s a bit of a wild child… he’ll be a good cop but just very rough around the edges” I say as Connor nods.

“Well, we can’t all be Supercop from a family of police royalty,” Connor says as I stand there nodding knowing that I probably was well advanced considering my background. “True, but I think Branko has it there but there is a few rough edges that will take some time,” I say as Connor nods.

Heading into the bedroom to get dressed, so much of Connor wants to take me right now as he looks at the time and then pulls my naked body towards me as I feel him start to suck on my cock.

I throw my head back knowing that I need to get ready, but my cock now getting harder is just too irresistible for Connor to ignore. Standing there as Connor lays on the bed sucking my cock, I just close my eyes moaning as his tongue runs up and down my shaft.

Pushing my cock deeper into Connor’s mouth, I start to fuck his mouth as he is eager just to make me feel good right now as he momentarily pulls off so that he can pull his shirt off so that my cum doesn’t cover his shirt. Fucking his mouth, Connor’s head is just static taking all of my 7 inches of cock down his throat.

I close my eyes and just thrust into his mouth as I feel my cock leaking significantly down his throat as we both moan at the same time. “Cum in my mouth,” Connor says almost pleading to me like there was anywhere else that I would be spreading my load right now.

Picking up the speed, I start blowing my load down Connor’s throat and like always, he manages to swallow all of the all-natural protein shake he’s getting right now taking it all. I have so much cum built up in my balls that he starts to massage them as more cum rushes out right now until Connor has to pull off because there is too much for him.

Eventually, I finish blowing my load over the edge of the bed onto the floor as Connor is panting hardly believing the amount of cum that I had built up in just a day since we fucked. “Holy shit, where did that all come from?” he says to me as I shrug because I have no idea where all that cum did actually come from.

I quickly head back into the shower to wash off the cum as Connor puts his shirt back on and I kiss him deeply “I know it was your idea but you alright seeing everyone and meeting them?” I ask as Connor nods. “Of course I am, I mean really it would only be Steph and her lot, plus you and the new recruits right?” he says as I realise how comfortable he would be especially given that this was his idea.

We grab our keys and head across to the pub “So who’s actually coming other than Steph and Brad?” he asks as I struggle to remember the rest of the recruits' names. “Umm Branko is bringing his partner I’m pretty sure, I know Charlotte who Steph was with but I can’t remember the names of the others but I think they’re coming because Brad was trying to get the big room which should be free” as Connor nods because Steph gave him the news that the room was free and ours despite it not usually being free early in the week.

Heading over to the pub, Connor and I even after our little moment and we sit down as I don’t really feel like a beer and just have a coke instead as Connor goes and orders the drinks as I sit there, interested to see who turns up. As Connor comes back, Steph and her family come in talking to Connor as I realise that this is the first time that I’ve actually spent quality time with Brad and Steph’s kids which is good even though we’ve met plenty of times before.

“What time did you tell the others to get here?” I ask Steph as she tells me 7:00 which gives us the time to hang out for a little while with just her and Brad and Connor, plus the kids who are already having their dinner.

We’re sitting there talking as a guy walks through the doors, wearing a very distinctive matching Black shirt and shorts with a vintage set of glasses. Connor nudges me “That’s a look and a half,” he says as I turn around and have a look and have a smile on my face.

“Meet Branko,” I say to Connor whose eyes open widely and can’t believe what he is looking at “That’s Branko,” he says as I nod. “I knew you said he was out there but wow that’s something,” he says as I nod and Branko wanders over to the table.

Wandering over, Branko pulls me in for a tight bro hug “Sup bro” he says as he pats me on the back and gives a nod to Connor. “Gonna assume this is your fiancé?” Branko says to me as he points towards Connor as I nod. 

“Yeah this is Connor, Connor this is Branko,” I say as both of them smirk and instead of handshaking Branko goes immediately for the hug which Connor enjoys. “Got some good taste,” Branko says as I shake my head laughing at him.

“What about you, thought your partner was coming?” I ask as he nods to me, “Yeah, he’s coming straight from work so just running a bit late” he says as I notice the key word he said as he offers to get the next round of drinks as Charlotte and her boyfriend get there.

I can tell that Charlotte is quite nervous but seeing Steph there eases her nerves a bit because they seemed to hit it off today together, whilst Ally and Henry get there at just about the same time both alone as Henry tells us Jerome had training tonight otherwise he would’ve been here.

Sitting around the big table in the middle of the room, everybody is having a good time getting to know each other better as we all have our food and drinks as I have to remind Branko not to have too much of a good time. “Look, seeing as we’re all just about here, why don’t we do a proper introduction to everyone?” Steph says as everybody nods.

“I mean, we all have met but why don’t us cops introduce ourselves properly and if the partners want to they can too,” she says as Connor sits next to me with a smirk before Steph turns her head at Connor. “You’re introducing yourself too Jonesy because you are a cop,” she says as Connor tries to argue.

Connor’s smirk quickly disappears as Steph starts the introductions, telling everyone that she’s been a cop for eight years although she missed two years being pregnant and having her kids. She introduces everyone to Brad and I’m surprised that they’ve only been married for 3 years meaning they had the kids before getting married.

After introducing herself, it’s quickly my turn “Hey, I’m Trent, I’ve been at the Junction for nearly 12 months, just about everyone in my family are cops and if you want to cross me be warned I’ve got plenty of boxing training so I can handle myself and plus my Dad is a Superintendent so I’ve got that” I say laughing with a nervous chuckle.

“Come on Connor, you’re still a cop,” I say as he reluctantly stands up “Sup, I’m Connor, I’ve been a Cop for 2 years and been engaged to this amazing guy for 2 days, but been together 6 months or so”.

Hearing Connor talk about how quickly everything has happened between us is surprising because with how we just connected and know each other, it’s just felt like we’ve been together for years because we just get each other. Even with Harry, I know that we hit it off straight away but it really took a lot longer for us to just know each other the way that Connor and I do.

Drifting back into reality, I realise Connor is talking about getting shot “And you probably all know or don’t but I’m on medical leave until at least the end of the year because I was shot on duty a few months back, so I’m still on recovery mode but I’d prefer not to get so many questions. I’m proud of Connor for opening up about it because I know that it’s tough and can understand him being open but also asking people to not ask too many questions.

Next up to introduce themselves is Ally who tells us all about how she wanted a career that was more exciting than working in Insurance which she was and wants to eventually work in the Youth Liaison Team which works in less privileged communities that had such a big impact on her.

Henry stands up as Connor whispers to me “Was he that tall when he walked in?” as all 200cm of Henry stands up, a body just packed with the size that wouldn’t look out of place as a prop forward on the footy field. “Hey I’m Henry, 29 was in the Navy for 7 years, before leaving to take care of my twin boys and back now working as a cop for that active workforce,” he says dominating the room with his frame.

Charlotte who is still super nervous stands back a bit “So hi I’m Charlotte, this is my boyfriend Tu who is a Chef and I’m known for being the Kickboxing Violinist” she says before sitting down although there are plenty of questions. “Hang on, Kickboxing Violinist you need to tell us more about that?” Connor asks as Charlotte rubs her hands over her face.

“Growing up, I was into Kickboxing so went to the State and National championships at the same time, I was a Violin Player and performed in the National Recital on the same weekend as I’d have Kickboxing,” she says as this slight and slender figure proves that she can really pack a punch.

After all the intros from the others, I’m sitting here worried about what Branko is going to do given that there doesn’t seem to be a filter for him and that he is an open book. “Sup probs all know me by now I’m Branko with some of you seeing plenty of me, grew up locally but spent time in Croatia and Europe before being a cop… if there’s a job I’ve probably done it but being a cop is my turn to give back to the community and show some people in my community that cops are good people,” Branko says almost like he’s guilty which is weird.

I can sense something isn’t quite right with him tonight after the introductions and I follow him outside for a few minutes “Hey, is everything alright? You started off with a bang but in the last little bit you’ve been pretty quiet?” I say as he looks at me and shrugs. “Yeah it’s all good, Ethan’s just running late and kinda wanted to show him off but he just isn’t here”.

Listening to Branko, I get the sense that there is more than what he is telling me but comes towards the pub wearing a Louis Vuitton t-shirt and tight skinny jeans, Branko brightens up a lot more than what he had been a minute ago. “Hey you, I was starting to think that you weren’t going to get here,” he says as they embrace in a kiss. “Sorry, was on a conference call with Dubai for a few hours and they had issues so just ran forever,” he says as Branko introduces me.

“Hey, this is my boyfriend Ethan, Ethan this is Trent who I was telling you about,” he says as Ethan shakes my hand “Good to meet you,” he says as we head inside. I don’t know what it is but there is just this nagging feeling that something isn’t necessarily right between them although I can’t quite put my finger on it.

Everybody is there for another hour or so before Steph decides that it’s late for the kids and they head home as we all start to leave at our own rate with Connor and I the last ones to leave just making sure everything is tidied up at least. “What did you think of them all?” I ask Connor as we head back home.

“Yeah, they all seem cool and you were right about Branko that’s for sure,” he says laughing as I can’t help but think there is something strange about his relationship with Ethan even though I can’t quite put my finger on it. “Did you notice anything about him and Ethan?” I ask as Connor shakes his head.

“Nah not really, I mean he was late and trying to apologise every 30 seconds for doing it which if that was you I would’ve punched you,” Connor says to me being the romantic beast that he is as I nod and try to tell myself that I’m in cop mode and just trying to read something more into what isn’t there.

Connor looks at me as we get in the front door and we get ready to head upstairs to be “You think there is something not right there don’t you?” he says as I shrug not really sure what to think if I’m being honest. “Well yes, and no, I mean Branko is so free-spirited and out there but Ethan just strikes me as the opposite and almost like he was trying to prove something,” I say as Connor looks across at me.

“It could always just be nerves about meeting your boyfriend's work colleagues for the first time especially if you’re not comfortable in social situations like that because remember not all of us are so comfortable,” Connor says to me as I nod and change into my PJ pants and head up to bed.

Laying in bed whilst Connor brushes his teeth, I’m still thinking about Ethan mostly and just thinking that there isn’t something right going on as Connor gets into bed next to me. “Just stop thinking about it alright Trent, they’re both grown adults that can handle their relationship ok?” he says as I reluctantly nod towards him.

“Anyway, focus on tomorrow alright because we’ve got to go down to the Real Estate and sign the papers for the gym because that is going to be our project,” he says smiling at me as I kiss him and nod my head. “Yep been looking forward to getting it all signed off and starting to work on it,” I say as we cuddle in together and go to sleep for the night.

The next morning, we’re up early because we’ve got to be at the Real Estate agent at 9:30 and then I’ve got to be back across town at work for a noon start this afternoon. Getting ready, Connor has one of his best shirts on and pants as I look at him not expecting him to be so dressed up about today.

“You look hot but any reason for the best clothes?” I ask as I was just planning on smart casual before heading to the real estate and then to work. “Well, I was just thinking that we need to make sure that we set a good impression because if we don’t then there are still opportunities for it to go astray,” he says as I realise that he is probably right as I put on my chinos and checked buttoned up shirt.

“You ready to do this?” he says as I smile and have breakfast before getting coffee and heading to the estate agent to sign the paperwork and make the gym officially ours. Parking the car in the Real Estate car park, this is such a big moment for both of us because instead of buying our own house, this is our pet project and I know Connor has his heart set on making this an amazing place for our future.

I nod “I’m surprisingly more nervous about this than when I was going to propose to you or when I asked you to move in,” I say as he puts his arm around me. “Well this is a big deal and it’s going to be a lot of work that we’re putting into it and I know you’ve done it with Joel before but doing it with someone you love is important,” he says as I nod and we head into the estate agent.

“Good morning, may I help you today?” the receptionist asks as Connor is taking the lead “Hey there, we’ve got a meeting at 9:30 with Jody for the Holden Road property,” he says as we sit there waiting, the nerves are taking over my stomach right now worried something is going wrong.

It’s about 9:45 when Jody comes out from the office “Hey Connor, Trent come through” she says as we go into the office as we spend time in there going through all the fine print and how everything is a lot simpler than what we thought because the owners of the building have already got all the building approval so we can start almost instantly.

Connor and I both sign off our parts and thankfully Joel is helping us with the finance as well as using the existing gym and our branding to potentially start as a franchise option and expand into new areas. Getting everything done is a slow process and finally, it’s all signed off and approved as Jody gives us the keys for the site.

“I was so panicked that something was gonna get knocked back or something, especially with how rushed this was for us to open the gym,” I say as Jody nods. “Yeah, I’ve been trying to rush this through for you guys because you were amazing to work with too, nothing was an issue and you have no idea how rare it is to deal with commercial property tenants that are patient,” she says as we nod.

Leaving the real estate, Connor hugs me tightly as I can feel all the stress coming out of his body and the emotion just flowing out of him almost like he needed this more than I thought. “You alright?” I say as Connor is crying now as I look at him and smile and rub his arm.

“Yeah, this was just all so tough because of all the work that I never thought it was going to happen you know,” he says as we find a spot to just sit down. “Since everything happened, I was in a sense that I didn’t know where I was going to go because like I’ve said, I don’t know if I want to be a cop anymore but I’ve never not had anything going on in my life if that makes sense,” he says as I nod.

Connor sits down “I had school, then went to TAFE and then went to work at the Mechanics at the same time and then at the same time was doing some other courses part-time and when Alan retired, I decided to go through policing because it was something that I always wanted but now with what happened, it’s hard being at home and I know I’m doing stuff with Tom… but full time not having anything is tough and not knowing,” he says which I nod.

I never realised how hard-working Connor was even back in the day and it really doesn’t take me by surprise that he was struggling with not being able to work even though he never really said anything about it. We head past the gym and stop off along the way stopping in there and parking the car as we unlock the door and have a look inside had not been in there since the raid went down across the road at the bank.

“Still got all your ideas for the space?” Connor asks as we wander around and see how big the space is and the options that we could have especially given that we want to have the opportunity to have a Café built into the gym as well.

We wander around and upstairs as Connor is like a kid opening Christmas presents as he is bounding around the room before I look at the time. “I probably need to get going to get to work,” I say as Connor realises that we both went to the Real Estate agent's office together in my car which means that I’ve got to let him drive my car home.

Connor drives me to work and pulls up outside as I realise this is the first time he’s been to the Junction since he was shot because everything that we have done for a while has only been at Central. Connor then parks the car in the staff area because he wants to come in and see a few people although I think that he is also doing this for his own mental state.

Walking into the station, Connor sees everyone there and they fawn over him before going up to see Ange for the first time in a while as I head into the locker room to get changed. In there, Branko is getting changed “And I thought I was the only one running late” he says as I smirk and shake my head.

“Sup man, how did you enjoy last night?” I ask as he nods smiling. “Yeah really good, Ethan was sorry that he was late but with his job he has to do a lot of dealing with people overseas so when they’re slack on the other end he ends up being the one who suffers,” Branko says as I nod still not entirely sure about Ethan but like Connor says it’s not my place.

Heading out, Connor is talking to Ange as I see Steph talking with Ally “Hey, did I see Connor walk past?” she asks as I nod. “Yeah, he had to drop me off this morning because we had to go down to sign the paperwork for the gym,” I say as Steph is excited about that news for us.

Getting our shifts read out to us by the latest rotating acting sergeant, I’m back with Branko again which is going to be an interesting shift because I want to ask him more questions about Ethan but I don’t want to ruin anything. I manage to catch Connor on the way out “Make sure my car is looking as good as it is now alright” I say which makes Ange and Branko laugh.

“Shouldn’t you be on patrol Constable Hannan rather than nagging your Fiance?” Ange says with a smile as I shake my head laughing and we go out to the car. Connor laughs and I head out to the car with Branko who is like a kid about to get a brand-new toy.

Walking out to the car “What is the matter with you? You’ve surely been in the police car before” I say as Branko smirks “Well yeah but never in the front before” he says as I look back at him. “What do you mean never in the front before?” I say totally confused about what he means.

“Well in our training I was always in the back of the car but I’ve been in the back of the car not by choice either,” he says as I look at him even more confused and intrigued. “Alright, so long story short, I was 19 and got pulled up because I was drinking when I shouldn’t have been driving and after the first breath test I was over so had to go back to the station,” he says as I nod.

We got stuck in traffic so it took a little longer for me to get back to the station and then when I got there I was back under the limit so I was free to go which left me with a pretty big wake-up call. So yeah, that was my back-of-the-car story.

Shaking my head, all I can do is laugh at Branko’s story because it just proves how wild that he can be and know that there will be more to his story than what I could have ever imagined. Getting in the car, we’re not doing anything more than just doing a visual patrol of the area to get Branko used to the sights and the areas of note around the city which there are plenty of. It feels weird being the teacher given that usually it’s given to so many people with experience as I take Branko around the city.

“Can I ask you a question? If that is ok?” Branko says to me as I’m always open to being asked questions about anything. “I didn’t want to ask but Connor said he was shot? What happened exactly?” Branko asks as I was getting worried about what he was going to ask me.

“Oh yeah, is he in one of the gang units or something?” Branko asks as I shake my head. “Nah, he was shot on duty when that bank raid went down,” I say as he realises about what I’m talking about and then drops the question.

We sit there in the car just driving around as I show him the areas that need the most patrol as we want to take it slowly so unless there is anything obviously wrong. We’re driving along just chatting as I’m pointing out the various areas that we need to patrol especially around Belford where we spend at least half our time dealing with the issues which the whole area is a wake-up call to Branko.

“This is seriously where people live?” he says with burnt-out cars and broken windows littering the street as I nod. “Yep, this is our little slice of heaven out here,” I say driving around a bit further before we pull up at the service station because I’m in the mood for a drink.

Getting out, Branko grabs himself a bottle of Powerade while I just want a bottle of lemonade. Sitting in the car, Branko runs his hands over his face “You alright?” I ask as he nods. “Yeah, I’m doing good Ethan and I had some fun last night so we only got a few hours of sleep.

I sit there smiling knowing the perils of spending a late night with someone only needing to wake up early and having a distinct lack of sleep is a peril. “So how long have you and Ethan been together?” I say as this gives me the perfect chance to ask the question I’ve been wanting to without being ridiculously nosey and give my suspicions a chance to either extinguish or prove myself right there is something dodgy going on.
