A Day in the Life

One Night in Heaven

I never thought I would see the day when Derek would settle down with only one person but apparently Steve is his soul mate. I feel lonely and like the odd man out. He tries to reassure me and get me to go with them but I usually beg off with some excuse. Don’t get me wrong - I like Steve. How could I not like him? I’m just jealous of him. I’ll get over it… someday.

“Hey bro. Are you moping again?” Early morning and Derek is just coming back from a night out with Steve.

“Nope. I was just thinking about all I have to do today.” He knows I’m lying.

“Squirt you have to stop feeling like Steve is coming between us. He’s a great guy if you give him a chance.”

“I know Steve is a good guy. I really do and I am happy that the two of you have clicked so well. It’s just…”

“Just what? You feel like you don’t belong in my life anymore? You and I have a special bond. You’ll always belong in my life.”

“I think maybe I should move out.”

“What? Move out? Why? This is your home. Look, Steve wants the three of us to go to his cabin tomorrow, give us some time together. If you still feel the same way when we get back I’ll help you find a new place and get you settled in. What do you say?”

I know he’ll be disappointed if I don’t go. “All right I’ll go with you.”

“You won’t regret it I promise. It’ll do you good to get some time away from here, relax and get to know Steve better. Things will improve you’ll see.” I can tell he’s tired and needs rest. I’m sure he’ll go to bed but he first goes to the kitchen to bring back the protein drink he has been making for me once a day since that night.

It is late afternoon when I return from running errands. He is still sleeping so I go to my room. I can’t get myself motivated to do much so I decide to lie on my bed for a while. I don’t know why I am so down. I must have fallen asleep because the next thing I know he’s coming into my room. “I called Steve. It takes a while to get there so we’re leaving early. He has everything we’ll want at the cabin so only wear the clothes you need to go.”

Early morning with Steve and a long drive. Oh joy. “Whatever.” I’m not terribly enthusiastic.

“Cheer up. You’re going to have a great time. Let’s get some dinner.” We order delivery as morning will come fast. It isn’t long before the food arrives and we’re eating. Just as I am about to get up from the table Derek goes to the kitchen and brings this humungous shake for me to drink. “Down the hatch squirt. You need lots of energy for tomorrow.”

Ugh. This one really tastes bad. I wonder what he put in it. “Good night Derek. See you in the morning.” I am tired and fall asleep fast. I dream about the night I was in his body but this time I have Steve’s perspective. I must have him on my mind too much.

Morning comes and he is up before me. I haven’t seen him this excited in a while. He really is looking forward to the trip. “Good morning sleepy head. Go grab a shower. You’ll feel better.” I don’t know about feeling better but at least I’ll be awake. After I shower I throw on some pants, a long sleeve shirt, a hoodie, and my shoes. The day is already warm but I like to be covered. “Don’t you think you’re a bit overdressed?” he asks when I come out of my room. He is dressed in nothing more than shorts and sandals.

Steve arrives dressed in a gray tank top, shorts and sandals. He has a nicely toned muscular physique and at 6’2 is one hot dude. His dark brown hair compliments his dark eyes and his smile can light up a room. Why am I suddenly finding Steve so sexy? We head out on the road with the top rolled back on his Jeep. Great. Nothing I like better than being blown around while going 60 miles per hour. They are talking as we ride. I am sitting sullenly in the back. I have no family so I was living on the streets when I met Derek. We hit it off immediately and he insisted that I move to his place even though he hardly knew me. He became my family. Now someone is intruding.

The road takes us along a beautiful serene lake. He makes a turn off the road and I can see his cabin - more like a mini-mansion with lots of land. Poor little rich boy. Once inside he shows me my bedroom as we head upstairs. He and Derek continue to the master suite. My room is huge and really comfortable with a big bed, private bath, and a splendid view. This is definitely not what I ever pictured a cabin to be.

I finish cleaning up just as Steve calls that it’s time for dinner. The smells are delectable. Along with everything else he cooks, too. Is there anything this guy can’t do? Derek seems to be observing how I react to him as we talk. Time passes and before we know it the clock strikes midnight so I decide to call it a day. “I’m going to head up to my room and get some sleep. See you in the morning.” It has been an emotionally confusing day. I strip to my undershorts and hop into bed, falling asleep immediately.

Sleep cradles me softly in a loving caress of dreams where I’m floating above my body, watching as it disappears from the bed as though it was never there. I feel drawn to a safe place where I find myself enveloped in warmth and I am content.

I wake the next morning with the sun shining in my eyes. Derek is in bed with me, one arm on my chest. I must still be dreaming. I roll over only to fall out of bed. I’m definitely awake now. He’s watching me with a very mischievous grin on his face. I suddenly realize I’m naked and looking at a well-built physique. Holy shit! This isn’t my body. Mini-me has been replaced by maxi-me... and he is beginning to stir!

“Good morning Steve. I see you are looking well.” Steve? “Come sit on the bed and I will explain everything to you.” He puts his arm around me as I get up and sit by him. My new appendage is making it hard to stay still while he talks.

“The short version: I’ve known Steve for a while, long before that night. We have been planning this exchange for quite some time - the meeting in the club, the sex, this trip – all done for you. Those protein drinks I’ve been giving you contained his DNA to get you ready for a permanent transfer. Your mixed emotions were the result of you binding to him. When you fell asleep last night we put his soul in his new body and your soul migrated to his vacated body where you now belonged. Your old life is gone as though you never existed. You have always been my soul mate – you just didn’t know it.” He pauses to give me a minute to absorb all that he just said. This is unbelievable yet everything feels so natural.

“How can I be Steve?” I hear my words but in his deep sexy voice.

“By tomorrow morning it will be as though you’ve always been Steve with his memories, knowledge, and traits. Go take a shower and relax squirt. I guess I won’t be calling you that anymore.” He smiles as I stand up and make my way into the bathroom.

I thought the shower I had as Derek was a unique experience. What is it going to be like as Steve? I turn the shower on and get in. The warm water touching my skin is very relaxing and just what I need. I begin to lather my body, running my hands down my new chest and past my incredible abs. My uncut pole is standing at attention from the sensations I am feeling. I begin to stroke myself. My body is so sensitive that each stroke sends waves of pleasure throughout my entire being. I come again and again until I am totally spent. I finish cleaning myself off, get out of the shower, and put on the clothes that he left lying in the bathroom last night. His amazing smile beams back when I look in the mirror. I really am Steve.

We spend the day walking around the lake together. As dusk approaches we are sitting on the deck watching the sun set over the water. What could be more perfect? It is soon time for us to go to bed. He looks so handsome, so tantalizing and I want him. Derek is gentle as we make passionate love; for while the body I now occupy has been with him before, I have not. We embrace each other as we drift off to blissful sleep.

I can hear Derek in the bathroom when I wake. Whoa! I have new memories - Steve’s memories. I know all about his life. Fuck, Steve, what are you thinking? Of course you know your own life. Look at yourself – you’re Steven Bradley James, hot stud with a killer smile... and a very sexy boyfriend. As I lie in bed I reflect back on our first time together that night. Derek was one awesome lover. The two of us together as it was meant to be. It’s a wonderful life.
