Alex was listening to a podcast and looking through the kitchen contents when Noah padded into the living room, his hair dishevelled, his t-shirt taken off, wearing his blue shorts and a small speck of toothpaste on his chin. He looked warm and cuddly.

Alex took off his headsets, instantly hard seeing his boyfriend, standing in the middle of his living room, looking unbelievably sexy. “You shouldn’t be allowed to look so sexy when I am supposed to be worried about you!” He said as he enveloped Noah in a bear hug.

“Everyone’s gone!” Noah sensed, welcoming the quiet and alone time with Alex.

“I asked them to leave. Politely!” Alex kissed Noah’s nose.

“Are you bored?” Noah rubbed his body to Alex.

“I was making a grocery shopping list.” Alex hugged him close and licked his chin.

“Are you busy?” Noah whispered and got on his tiptoes to touch Alex’s lips with his.

“Why?” Alex said against his lips.

“If you are bored and not busy, you may… uhh…you know!” Noah pressed his hard-on to Alex and felt the nine inches pushing against his navel.

“May What?” Alex smiled and encircled Noah’s waist with one arm and raised him off the floor, this time kissing him deeply.

“Do this and more!” Noah parted his lips and inserted his tongue in Alex’s mouth, touching his palate, softly licking the teeth and sucking his tongue.

“How much more?” Alex smiled against Noah’s lips and licked his chin to nose.

“Hmm! As much as you want to and as many times!” Noah stepped back and took off his shorts.

He felt for Alex, till he reached his chest and pushed his shirt up. As Alex started to take the shirt over his head, Noah kneeled between Alex’s legs, pushed the underwear down and went for his balls. He spent time sucking on and licking his balls with no dick contact. Finally, he shifted up and started heading to town on Alex’s dick. He started slobbering onto it like he was dying of thirst and the dick was the only source of a drink for miles around. He used his tongue, deep throated right from the start, and got everything very damp and slippery.

Alex was so hard that when he came, he blacked out momentarily and had to hold on to Noah’s soft shoulders, his overall body all tingly. Noah swallowed every last drop.

Alex got on his knees, facing Noah and licked his chin and lips, He pushed his tongue inside his warm mouth and kissed him passionately. He turned Noah around on the couch, exposing his booty and rimmed him till he was wet and ready for him. Noah turned over on the couch and Alex grasped his ankles and pushed the legs back toward his chest as he inserted his penis in Noah’s pink tight hole. He pushed his legs back further making Noah tighter, making Noah grab the couch and arch his back, moaning loudly.

Noah turned around on a doggy-style and pushed back and front fucking himself on Alex’s large dick. Alex knelt still and watched his huge penis enter and leave the soft bubble butt. Noah pushed Alex back, making him sleep on the floor. Alex pulled Noah’s knees to chest and made him sit backward between his legs, inserting his big black nine inch steel hard penis into the pulsating hole. Once comfortable and fully astride, Noah began a rhythmic motion of rocking back and forth to his liking, riding Alex and moaning. He pinched his nipples, sucked his fingers and started jerking himself. Alex couldn’t believe how turned on he was as couldn’t take his eyes off his small cowboy riding him. He came deep in his guts, pushing his hips and lifting Noah. He raised up, wrapped Noah in his arms from behind and kissed him madly, still deeply buried in him.

He turned Noah around and inserted his well-used hole and pounded him missionary-style, kissing and biting every part of skin he came in contact with.

Both boys were panting and breathless by the end of it and Alex lay on the floor and wrapped Noah in his arms as he laid on top of Alex. They didn’t realise when they dozed off and woke up in the same position after a couple of hours, with Noah stirring awake over Alex first.

Alex picked his sweetheart and took him to the washroom. After picking their clothes and cleaning the surfaces with his shirt, he walked behind Noah in the shower.

He checked the non-slip mat and ensured his feet were firmly planted, he didn’t want to slip and hurt Noah. Keeping Noah facing away from the showerhead, he placed his large hands on Noah’s small ones, gripping onto the shower wall while he penetrated him from behind.

Noah moaned, “Uhh! Alex! Huh! Baby! Ya! Like that!” and pressed his palms against the wall and pushed back. Alex pinned Noah against the wall and held onto his hips as he pistoned in and out of Noah. Noah started moaning loudly and pushing back, matching Alex’s powerful pounding. Alex grabbed the wet silky brown hair with one hand and with the other reached around and started jerking Noah. Noah pushed Alex’s hand off his hard six inches and bent toward the ground and removed the large dick out of him. Alex held his arms from behind. This position helped his downward curving penis hit the P-spot as he pushed the entire length in one go, making both orgasm explosively.

Noah woke up again, feeling thirsty and felt for Alex, sleeping next to him on his stomach, snoring very lightly. He smiled and couldn’t believe how someone who destroyed his insides thrice, was now sleeping like a baby. He touched and found the muscular back and then rubbed it with his soft palms and kissed it, making Alex purr, “Hmm! Noyee! Baby!” he mumbled in his sleep and pulled the blanket close to his chest and started snoring again.

Noah limped to the kitchen and took a bottle of water from the refrigerator. He touched the kitchen island and smiled to himself, making a mental note to have sex on it too. As he was leaving the room, he was hit with a vision of the Lady in Red.

She was alive and beautiful, pregnant and in white bride dress. The groom was tanned, handsome with broad shoulders in a new but old fashioned black suit with a long jacket, wide lapels, and a pinched waist. They were smiling, she looked happy and then it was replaced with other visions.

Noah sat down on the kitchen floor, he kept silent not wanting to wake up Alex’s peaceful sleep. He covered his mouth with his shivering hand, he knew what had happened to Fabiana Medici, the Lady in Red.

****

“Yes! Orazio Alessandro, that’s my maternal grandfather! Our mother, Caterina and her sister Zietta Celestina’s father.” Des paced the room, as Noah narrated what he was shown.

“She was very beautiful and an extremely rich widow of a merchant from the Medici family. Her husband Marco Medici had lost everyone to the plague and he died on the ship. She was just nineteen. Then she met Orazio, he was handsome and charming. He was working for a famous tailor. They kept meeting and she fell for his charm and looks. He started to stay over more and more, and then moved into the mansion. There was a lot of gossip when she got pregnant. Orazio proposed to her. I saw her in the wedding dress. She was seven months pregnant, happy, and in love.” Noah smiled at the feeling shared with him associated with the memory.

“Orazio promised her to buy a pearl necklace when he got paid after they had a quiet private wedding but she was content. They got on a train from the church to home, because she didn’t feel like going by the bumpy car ride as she worried about her baby. On the train, Orazio’ s girlfriend was waiting for them. As the train caught speed, he took her to the door to show her the mansion from the train. As she stood, laughing and proud of how her home looked from that far, they pushed her.” Noah throat went dry, he could feel falling on the gravel.

“She fell, hit her baby bump and head but didn’t die. She wasn’t able to shout properly because her jaw got dislocated. They looked back and saw her trying to get up holding her baby bump, so they got down on the next station and walked back. They dragged her and placed her on the tracks, but she got up again and started crawling away trying to live. That’s when your grandmother hit Fabiana with stones, targeting her head and legs, till she collapsed and they stood there to ensure the next train killed her. She was lying on the tracks, in pain and bleeding out, unable to shout or groan for hours till the next train came.” Noah wiped tears from his cheeks with the back of his hands.

“She saw it coming and welcomed the end of the agony, but it didn’t end.” Noah shivered feeling the desolation and sadness Fabiana felt at that moment.

“She has been waiting for it to end. She didn’t want to kill… she was killed… because of their avidità. She said,’Voglio riposare… per favore lasciami andare!’ again and again. Just give her that!” Noah wept for Fabiana, like no one did. He felt pain for her like she did and he felt bad for her like she deserved. Alex sat on the floor, holding Noah’s thighs with one arm draped over it and rubbing his lower back with the other.

“Where is she?” Des looked down, not able to look at Noah, feeling ashamed for his grandparents’ deed against Fabiana and his misunderstanding about Noah. Ori cried with his face hidden in his hands. “How do we find her?” Ori sobbed. Noah hiccupped and said fearfully, “I have to go to her place and ask her!”

****

Noah stood holding hands with Alex and stared at the tracks, surprising Ori, Kira and Des. He moved his head following the path taken by Fabiana, as she floated into the backseat of Ori’s car again. “She is in the car!” Noah told no one in particular, “She sits in the backseat because her last thought was that she should have taken the car home and not the train!” He explained as Ori stared at the lady in red.

Noah stared at the blank sockets and couldn’t help but draw comparisons between him and the lost soul, both with no eyes but could see each other. He was not able to see the world he lived in and she was forced to become invisible to the world when she died.

Fabiana looked at Noah directly from the car and suddenly appeared before him, startling him, he tried to take a step back and fell, landing on the muddy ground. Ori looked around but now she wasn’t visible to him.

She turned her head from side to side, her neck bruised and lopsided, hair in clumps knotted with dried blood around large wounds on the battered face and head. She looked at Noah, her dark sockets sad and lonely. She opened her thin dry lips covered with blood and Ori’s phone started ringing. Alex sat next to Noah and hugged him, raising him and making him sit on his lap, both the boys wet and muddy. “Put it on speaker.” Alex told Ori, which he did and static reverberated from it. “Per favore, lasciami andare! Voglio andare! Per favore!” She begged, her voice in both physical and emotional pain.

Des intervened, “Dove sei? Come ti troviamo?” He took the phone from his kid brother, “Perché tormenti Ori?” He begged and got down on his knees, looking in the direction where Noah was looking. The voice begged and sobbed, “Non lo so! Ma lei lo sa! Sua moglie lo sa! Per favore, seppellisci mia figlia!”

Noah started crying, “They took her body and dumped it, with her daughter still in her womb! She wants to give her a burial. She wants to go… she wants to rest!”

Ori looked from Noah to the empty space he was looking at, “Why me?”

“She says, you guys have something that belonged to her mother! The only jewellery her mother had on her, when they came from Sicily. Orazio didn’t have money for a ring, so she gave him the ring to put it on her finger at their wedding.” Noah started moving towards her, not scared anymore, feeling connected to her.

“She found you because of that. They had pried it off her dead body!” He touched her raised broken fingers, it was like touching liquid nitrogen. He winced in pain but didn’t move, Alex held on his wrist, feeling the cold wave as well.

Kira took off her wedding ring sobbing, a vintage gold ring with an opal set in the centre, surrounded with diamonds. She placed it on the ground, offering it to the tortured innocent twenty one year old pregnant bride.

“Our mother gave it to me, said it was our Nona’s ring and wanted Ori’s wife to have it because he had Nonno’s name. Where is her body?” Des whispered feeling like a criminal, somehow responsible for everything happening to Ori and what his family had done to Fabiana.

“She doesn’t know because she couldn’t follow them, she is stuck in this place! But she knows she is somewhere in her mansion. She said both the daughters know this because their mother told them on her deathbed. They had come here and tried to get rid of her. They got a priest and tried blessing this place. They wanted to live peacefully after their parents died of fear and guilt.” Noah looked at her with sadness. “We will find you and your child.” Noah wept, sitting on Alex’s lap, both had their hands raised together and held hers, like praying together.

****

“STOP! STOP! They are here!” Noah raised his voice over the bawling baby’s sound surrounding him. He was sitting in the back seat between Des and Alex, Kira was driving to the mansion through the wooded property and Ori sat at the passenger seat. Kira stopped the car and Alex jumped out and helped Noah get down.

As soon as he touched the ground, Noah felt a piercing pain in his chest and got breathless, as he staggered towards the woods. Alex held him by his waist as he was about to jump into the gutter formed between the woods and the private road. He got down into ankle deep muddy water and picked Noah and helped him down. When Noah stepped on the woods, he started sobbing, “X! She is here! The baby! She was alive inside her mother when they brought her here! She is crying!” He jogged into the woods guided by the sound, Alex ensured Noah didn’t hit any trees or hurt himself in any way. Ori and Des followed them, as Kira waited next to the car.

Noah stopped at a spot, sat down and started clawing at the ground, tearing off the grass and trying to shovel mud with his hands, till Alex stopped him, “Baby! Baby stop! You have done enough for them! You have found them! Let the family take over now! Please Baby!” he hugged Noah to him, holding his muddy hands in one of his.

“I know you think I am responsible for these paranormal happenings surrounding Ori! But I am not! They killed her and brought her here! They didn’t think about the baby! They buried her alive, still inside the womb! That’s the reason she is trying to come back here! Per favore, seppellisci mia figlia! That’s all she wants, to bury her daughter. To give her peace!” Noah was talking to Des directly, who looked down and tears flowed from his eyes for the first time since this fiasco began.

Noah touched the ground, “We will give you both a proper burial and build a sanatorium in your property and put you to sleep. You will be able to rest now! Wait for a few more days! X! Please help me! Please help them!”

“No! They will do it!” He looked around as Orazio Alessandro’s family surrounded them including Zietta Celestina, his sons and daughters in law, Kira had called them. “They will put them to rest. They will bury them and give them a rightful place in their own home or I will call the cops and ask them to dig this grave and old ownership documents. You may not get arrested but I will ensure you guys make news!” Alex stood up and gave each of the people gathered there a warning stare, and helped Noah to his feet.

“Do the right thing or you will get consumed by the curse of your ancestor’s avidità!” Noah warned and started walking away with Alex. “Wait! Ori will drop you!” Des touched Alex’s shoulder.

Alex shrugged him off, “We will take a cab! We will fucking walk but not take anything from you guys till you fix this!” He shouted at Des and walked away with Noah, leaving the family staring at the spot where Noah had clawed clumps of grass and mud off the ground.

At once all of them covered their ears as the sound of the crying baby filled their head, like it did for their grandparents and then their parents.

The crying made them feel every bit of pain inflicted on the poor innocent girls, the family pressed their hands over their ears over the cacophony but everything got silent and peaceful for Noah, safely cuddled in Alex’s arms.
