Seeing his jizz shooting out was the trigger. I came like a fountain, from the back of Vlad’s head to my knees. My hole was spasming too. It was an incredible orgasm. This wouldn’t be a one time only occurrence, if I had my say. The others really ‘got off’ doing it, too. Robb licked my balls clean, sucking Jesse’s cream into his mouth and shared it with Vlad, who, for a virgin, sure got his fair share of cum in his first 12 hours. Unfortunately Vlad partially blocked my view of the others cum hitting me so we would have to do this again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After a good washing we finished our shower and got dressed. Vlad, naturally, was perfectly coordinated, looking like he just stepped off a runway. His shoes were Louis Vuitton. Robb had on tight short shorts, showing off his lovely ass and big, shaved swimmer’s quads and flip flops. Jesse was wearing a dressy shirt, and black slacks that fit to perfection showing his big legs and bubble butt. He decided to dress commando. Runners completed the ensemble. I looked like a bum as usual in cut-offs and a T-shirt and runners with summer socks. Being a great sunny day we hopped in the convertible and took the short trip to the restaurant. Hmm, 8:55. I couldn’t believe we made it on time after our shower fun. We started with coffee all around and then placed our orders. Chatter was free and easy. We were all smiles.
“I guess you guys should buy newspapers and see if there are any new listings for apartments near campus,” I said.
Jesse and Vlad looked like a train wreck immediately. The smiles vanished. They played with their food.
The reaction was exactly what I expected. They had so much fun until now, then, all at once, I had hit them with the reality they had put out of their minds.
“...Or, you could leave the apartment search for the time being, because I have to go with Robb to the loft and take the drawings to the construction office and check out the loft again. Would you guys like to come take a look see? What are your plans this week?” I asked.
The heavy ominous feeling at the table dissipated to a huge extent.
“Mate, I have no plans -- I’m just not looking forward to the long hike out to the relatives or being there, counting the days until they let me have a shower,” Jesse said.
“Like, I hate it at the ‘Y’. Spending even a couple of hours with you guys is heaven compared to being there. I’ve never had so much fun in my life as the last day -- I just put everything else out of my mind. Waking up sandwiched between two really great guys was like perfect, you know?” Vlad added.
“James, who will be living in the loft with me and Robb is coming on Thursday. He is coming for the swim practice and to see the loft where he will be living for the next three years. Also, Robb and I haven’t had sex with him since Sunday night. I’ve known him since we were kids, and it seems we have loved each other for years without ever telling the other, as we were afraid of wrecking the friendship. We just came out to each other on Saturday and we have been making up for lost time. We are 100% compatible in every way including sexually, so I’m just saying, we will be happy to see each other. You guys won’t be ready for him -- he is drop-dead gorgeous and has a cock even bigger than Jesse’s, if that’s possible, I said.
The atmosphere had lightened up even more. They had resumed eating and drinking their coffee. I cut a piece of sausage and stabbed it with my fork. Jesse was beside me in the inner seat of the booth.
“Care for a snag, Jesse?” I said, feeding him the sausage.
“Mate, you’re picking up Aussie slang pretty fast. That whole feeding each other thing last night was so romantic. You might not want to do it in the restaurant because I’m getting that tingle in my junk with the first forkful,” he said.
I reached over casually and felt his crotch and became fully hard instantly so I slipped my hand in his pants, pulled back the foreskin and swiped my finger over his pee slit and tasted it.
“Jesse, you feel so good commando. Good and hard.”
I didn’t know what to do. I desperately wanted these boys to live with us but didn’t think it was fair to James. I could phone him and I’m sure he would say it’s fine but it struck me as not quite as democratic as I would like. They would meet James on Thursday. I would talk to James, and if everything was copacetic, the three of us would ask them if they wanted to be loft-mates.
“After seeing the loft I can drive you home...,” I said.
Their mood changed instantly.
“...To pick up a change of clothing, get your toothbrushes, razors, whatever, so we can party this afternoon and fuck all night,” I completed.
They looked around the restaurant, which had cleared out except for our table. The waitress was in another area. Vlad kissed Robb and Jesse kissed me. There were smiles all around again.
“I don’t know what Vlad wants to do, but I’d be happy buying a toothbrush and being nude. I can ring the relatives and tell them I’ll be home, um, tomorrow?” Jesse said.
“Let’s see, this is Tuesday. We have practice on Thursday. James will be here and believe me, you want to be here. Also, David will be with us for his last practice because he is moving to the U.S.A. He was our best backstroker and he will be missed. He is Chinese, and has legs like tree trunks. We always gave him a hard time in the shower for having a teeny willie, but I know it’s a grower and is actually pretty big. I walked in on him when he was alone in the shower washing his hair. He didn’t hear me come in so when I saw his fully hard, beautiful, uncut cock, I just stood there and stared at it. I’ve never wanted to have a cock in my mouth so much. I never told the other guys because I think he likes the teasing, and I know he likes getting groped in spite of the fact he has a girlfriend. But he loves to party. He has a great personality and sense of humour so I’ve asked him if he can come over after the practice and it’s a 99% sure thing. He asked if he could stay over because of the drinking and driving. I told him, no problem. Anyway, that would make 6 of us. If you thought last night was fun, Thursday is going to be wild. So that brings us to Friday. If you want, I would like to have us all go to my cottage, and have a great party, swim, have sex, water ski, sex, sunbake in the nude, oral, have great food, well, you get the general agenda. We can come home Monday morning or if the weather is superb, even Tuesday. Does that sound better than going back this afternoon? That adds a week to your stay. What do you say, guys?” I questioned. Vlad was the first to respond.
“Scott, OMG this is like crazy! I met you yesterday only because I ran into Jesse and you are doing all this? I don’t know where to start to say thank you. Would you think I was using you If I asked a favour? Like, I don’t have too much stuff with me at the ‘Y’ but I spend a lot of money on my clothes. It’s my thing. I’m a clothes whore. I’ve been known to go days without food to be able to buy a nice jacket. I’m afraid if I go back there in a week, my stuff will be gone. I have a really good boom-box my iPod plugs into, if it’s still there. Could we like clear out my room and bring my stuff here until we find an apartment or whatever?” Vlad asked.
“Streuth, dude, Aussies have a reputation for being really hospitable, but compared to you, we are downright unfriendly. It blows me away what you are doing for us! Perhaps Vlad could take me shopping, as I need to get some clothing more appropriate to the Canadian climate -- not a tonne of clothes, but a basic wardrobe to get me started until I know how much money I’ll need for rent and food. I think we need to go food shopping too, as I want to do huge shrimps on the barbie, my treat,” Jesse said.
“You guys are really neat. Scott, everything you are doing is in sync with the feelings I had for you almost a year ago, but especially how I felt about you when you gave me that framed blow-up of me finishing the race. I loved you then -- it was such a surprise that you did that for me. Don’t you remember, I was so happy I kissed you in the locker room?” Robb added.
I sat there blushing. I loved these guys. The way they talked I was almost ready to tell them they could be our loft-mates, but I needed James to feel their love and come to the same conclusion.
The server brought the check and Vlad snatched it up, peeled off a $50 and paid it before any of us had time to react.
“Yeah Robb, How could I forget? You’ll never know how many times I re-lived that moment,” I said.
“Marvy,” he replied.
“So, you guys are good till a week from today. Jesse, if Vlad is bringing his stuff here, do you want to do the same?” I asked.
“It sounds more than okay with me. I only have 2 bags,” Jesse replied.
“Let’s go to the house, make some calls, change cars, and head to the loft. The ‘Y’ is pretty close so we can go there. If things take too long, Jesse I can take you and Vlad to get your stuff and go to the center downtown for some shopping tomorrow. You don’t mind being nude until then, do you? Perhaps Robb would loan you underwear and socks. We can launder your clothes, too,” I said.
I called the editor at the paper, who was delighted to hear from me. He explained the pay schedule. I was free to submit unsolicited photos, along with the names of the athletes and submit stories about the event. I was also responsible for obtaining releases. The paper would also email me with events they wanted me to cover, and a list of events that had been assigned to others. The money wasn’t bad, and as I was required to supply my own equipment and maintain files of releases, I could write off my photography equipment and a portion of operating expenses of the loft. Perhaps I would take some equipment with me on Thursday.
I checked my email and my bank accounts to find the 1.25 million was now in my account. As a quick investment I purchased 3 GIC’s of $100,000 each on 2 different accounts for terms of 30, 60 and 90 days. Thats a total of 6 certificates of Deposit. By not exceeding $100,000 they were all insured by Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation. Then I opened a user account on my computer for Robb.
“Robb, you need to come up with a password for your user account. Follow instructions, and when you are finished, let me know. Jesse, Vlad, if you need to check email or anything, sign on as guest. When you are finished, all traces of websites will be automatically deleted, so don’t bother making any bookmarks,” I said.
While Robb was at the computer, Jesse dropped his pants to shoe horn his sexy body into a pair of Andrew Christian briefs in case the boys went shopping for clothes.
“Oh good, Scott, thanks for washing my new Speedo. I bought it just before I left Oz. The dark blue looks perfect on me, at least I think so, and I want to keep it in good condition for as long as possible. I think I look better in it than any suit I’ve ever had. I even took pictures of myself trying it on at home for the first time and I got a little excited. Thanks for the loan of the undies and socks -- they aren’t Aussiebum but they’re sexy,” Jesse said.
“Okay, I’ve bookmarked sites about grants and student loans. The whole process is linked on the government site, so if I apply for one and there are others available, they will automatically be filed. I shouldn’t have a problem since my parents have disowned me. I will be able to get the maximum as long as I have a letter from mom or dad stating they are no longer responsible for me, I don’t live there, and they won’t claim me as a dependent on their income tax. It looks good to me; interest free until six months after I graduate. I don’t know the interest rate yet,” Robb said.
“When I pick up my stuff, I will try, once again, to get my mail. Like, my computer is one of those from a company in Texas. It would be Texas where everything is big because all I’ve had with it are big problems, you know?” Vlad stated.
“It sounds like mine, which was made in Asia. It had been working okay but it’s getting really slow. The last time I got it fixed for the same problem, it took 2 weeks and cost over AUD100. I need to get it fixed again before school starts, Jesse echoed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our first stop was the loft. New stone window sills were installed. The new exterior cladding of 4” of closed- cell blue Styrofoam covered by wire lath and stucco was nearing completion. It was unfortunate the red brick exterior had to be covered, but the corrosive air downtown over nearly 100 years disintegrated the brick. By doing this, the building would have an excellent insulation value, end the on-going brick repair work and provide thermal storage in the fabric of the building. Mainly though, it allowed exposed brick on the inside. With the heating and cooling demands substantially reduced, each unit will be heated and cooled with its own water-to-air heat pump. On cold winter nights, some heat will be added from the building’s water heater to the water line. In the summer, the water supply to the water heater feeds through the heat pump lines which preheats the water in the huge hot water storage tank, thus saving on water heating. The ductwork is the round style used in many commercial retrofits.
I saw Josh the electrician working on my west terrace so we went up there first. Naturally Robb made a bee-line for the terrace to see Josh. I pointed out some of the interesting things like the mezzanine running the length of the loft and about 1/3rd the width. With the high ceilings, there was room to put another level over part of the loft.
“I’m going to have my office built at one end up there, and there will be plenty of space for some other desks for study areas. The kitchen is going in that corner, and the fireplace over there. Come with me, and I will show you the terraces, and the hunky, gay electrician who Robb really likes,” I chuckled.
“Josh buddy, how’s it hanging?” I asked.
“Scott, good to see you. What’s up?”
“I’ve brought some team mates for a ride to show them my new crib as I have some new drawings and specs to take to the office but seeing you jogged my mind. I seem to have forgotten cable, ethernet and phone wiring plans. This is primarily for the balcony, where my office and the guy’s study area will be. I see you are hooking up the wiring for the Jacuzzi,” I said.
“Yeah, it’s all done. It’s going to be filled and leak tested then the pool company will start it up later this week. Hi, I’m Josh, electrician for now and hopefully a friend when the guys move in. My boyfriend is a carpenter and he is working on this project too. I suspect he will be in this unit in a day or two,” he said to all, extending his hand.
“Guys, let me show you the 2nd floor. Follow me.”
We stopped at the balcony level where the office and study areas would be.
“In all the other units, the balcony is where the bedroom would go, but this is the penthouse unit. The sleeping area is actually a penthouse and walks out to the roof of the building where the swimming pool and sauna are.”
The guys rubbernecked and had a look of awe on their faces. I pointed out the wood strip flooring which was actually the 2” edges of 2 X 4’s. I showed them the second floor, indicating where the shower, bathrooms, laundry, guest room and seven walk-in closets would go. I didn’t mean to let that slip and hoped it went unnoticed.
“Seven closets for three guys?” Jesse enquired.
Oh, boy, Jesse wasn’t stupid. Scott, think fast.
“Erm, Jesse, yeah seven. One for the guest room, and two each for the three of us.”
That should take care of that. I thought he was supposed to be a dumb jock.
“Why wouldn’t you just make three large ones?” Jesse asked.
At this point I turned beet red.
“Jesse, um, in Canada with the drastic change in seasons, we like to have two closets, one for winter and one for summer clothes, but I guess you don’t do that in Australia,” I lied.
Would bullshit baffle brains?
“That’s a good idea,” he said, unenthusiastically.
“And this is the door to the roof.”
Whew!
We went out on the roof where the pool was being filled. The pool was elevated as it was built on a steel structure above the building’s roof. It had cedar decking installed around the elevated pool with stairs leading down to the roof, which was having cedar decking installed. The gas fitters and electricians had completed their rough-ins. I had one of only three units with terraces; the other owners had to use the roof. One of the carpenters was really good looking with his pencil stuck over his ear. He was also shirtless with a well tanned vee shaped back, ripply abs, hairy chest & legs and a heavy looking tool called a power saw. He couldn’t stop staring. I wondered if it was Jeff, Josh’s boyfriend. We walked to the elevator penthouse with the adjoining sauna and went in. It was all cedar, naturally, and I was surprised it was turned on but realized the building was more than 80% occupied now. There were 2 showers, each accessed through a change room. The stairs to the top floor were close by. Being on the roof, the elevator didn’t come this far. We trekked back down to the main floor finding Robb still talking to Josh.
“Josh, does Jeff have a hairy chest, ripped abs and a vee shaped back?” I asked.
“Oh, I see you were on the roof. That would be him -- he is working there today. Did you say anything to him?” he inquired nervously.
“No, not to worry. I’ll wait for introductions when you guys come over for a soak unless you would like to come up to the house tonight?” I asked
“Thanks for the invite but Jeff has to work overtime until it starts getting dark tonight. The Condo Corporation is rattling chains to get the rooftop finished, furnished, and landscaped by the weekend. The rest can’t be done till the decking is done. It’s going to be the envy of condos and lofts in this city. They are putting lighting, tables and chairs for six or eight, some with radiant gas heaters, a couple of gas BBQ’s, chaise lounges, and professional landscaping up there. It’ll be like a high class bar to which you take your own booze, mix and ice. We have even installed heavy duty electrical should the unit owners want to hire a band with all their amps and lights some weekend,” he said.
“Wow, it sounds even nicer than I expected. Maybe when you and Jeff come over, we can go up there, too,” I suggested.
“Thanks for the invite, but Jeff is really closeted. It’s just as well you didn’t introduce yourself because of the other carpenters working with him. He will be fine if we come here to see you guys. He might wear sunglasses though -- that’s how paranoid he is,” Josh admitted.
“If you guys don’t have much of a social life because of that, I feel badly. We will be discrete, I can assure you. Hopefully we can get him feeling more comfortable being gay. I know Robb is looking forward to having you as friends and so am I. Perhaps when he feels comfortable with the three of us, we can invite Vlad and Jesse as well, because they are really cool. We will be having some or all of the swim team over on occasion to party. Most of them are gay or bi or straight and gay positive but we wouldn’t do that for the first visit -- we don’t want him to freak out. Anyway, we must go to the office to transfer my new drawings and hand in specs and amendments, so It’s good seeing you. You have my number if Jeff needs clarification on any of the new stuff, like closets,” I winked.
“Just one more thing. How much longer are you guys going to be working here?” I asked.
“We both have put in about a year on this project. Your unit will be the last of it so we are keeping our ears open for other projects,” he said.
“I drew up some plans for carpentry work for the construction company. Do you know if Jeff would be interested in doing it for me directly? I asked.
“Absolutely, Scott. He can do anything from rough carpentry to cabinet making,” he said.
“Great, there isn’t all that much but I want a large bed platform made to put mattresses and bases on. Also, the main floor windows are large but the sills are fairly high. I designed a platform for the seating area where the fireplace is going. It elevates the floor area so when seated we have a good view of downtown. There will be seating for eight with two sofas, a love-seat, two lamp tables and a large parsons style coffee table. Normally, you can’t get three people on a sofa; two, yes, three, no, but we thrive on togetherness. I may want an electrical outlet in the floor for a couple of table lamps. I guess with all the electrical on exterior walls run through conduit, additions are reasonably easy. I will have the platform with the two steps surrounding it carpeted,” I said.
“Jeff would like that. It’s a couple of days work, and you can pay him directly. I’ll have him call to get your closing date. I can do any electrical at any time, so just phone me,” Josh said.
A quick check revealed that any other workers must have gone to lunch so we had a group hug. Robb held on to Josh’s ass while he hugged him. Josh smiled.
I gave Robb the keys to the behemoth to get the windows open and said I’d be back in a minute. The file exchange was quick. Everything went smoothly. They would price out the changes and email me with the new costs, for me to sign and fax back.
It was around one o’clock so I suggested going to the ‘Y’ first then on to Jesse’s relatives but I needed to go to my favorite Mac store to discuss something with my favorite cute sales guy. The boys checked out the latest laptops. My salesman said he would email me, so we piled into the SUV and went to the ‘Y’.
We all went in with Vlad. He opened his room to start packing up but noticed his boom-box missing. I accompanied him to talk to the desk clerk.
“I didn’t come back to my room last night. I’m just returning now and my radio is missing!” Vlad said.
The clerk turned red and became agitated.
“Um, oh yes sir. Staff was doing a room check and thought it was something that could easily be stolen so they put it away for safe keeping. I’ll get it for you,” he said
He went into a back room and emerged with the huge radio.
“Thanks. I am checking out now. Perhaps I will be back next Tuesday but I want to settle up now,” Vlad explained.
The clerk entered some information on the computer, a receipt was printed and we returned to his room to finish packing up.
He had three suitcases and the radio which we helped carry to the truck. I set the GPS for Jesse’s relatives and headed out. It wasn’t really that far. The one and a half hours by transit was because it wasn’t a good connection by bus, two subways and another bus. we got there in less than 20 minutes.
Jesse went in alone, returning a few minutes later, alone carrying 2 suitcases. Apparently these weren’t his favorite relatives.
“Who’s hungry?” I asked.
In hindsight I guess it was a stupid question. I was hungry and 20; why wouldn’t a truckload of teens be?
“Subway or Mickey D’s?”
A unanimous ‘Subway’ surrounded me which was my vote too. I recalled seeing one a few blocks away so we pulled in there. We were back on the road in 15 minutes. Surprisingly, Vlad made the loudest belch.
The next stop was home. We chatted all the way there with Jesse telling us he was the youngest of three and had a brother and sister. His high school years were at a private boy’s boarding school where he started competitive swimming. He mentioned they were a close-knit family and had loving parents. His brother, a year older, was a good role model and his best friend. He was out to his brother whose reply upon being told was a big hug and an offer of help in any way he could. They grew even closer with big bro coming to “spring” him from the boarding school some Saturday nights to spend time with him. His parents were fairly comfortable. Jesse’s room was a very nice corner room with huge windows. Other than moving to a university with a good Kinesiology and Exercise Science program and getting a scholarship, his only reason to come to Canada was Aussie wander lust.
Vlad’s a “type A” personality – his personality was larger than his body. I hope he brings his guitar when he goes back to get more stuff after he moves in – somewhere. I know he will be the life of the party if he moves in with us. He was an elegant guy. He carried himself well, walking like he was a model. The really funny thing about him was when I was giving him a hand job in the shower I was imagining him dressed like a million dollars. Now, looking in the rearview mirror I was imagining him nude. We hadn’t fucked yet. Note to self. Deflower Vlad.
We went home and unloaded the boy’s stuff. They took their luggage into a spare bedroom, extricating dirty clothes and putting them in the laundry room. Vlad ran his through the washer first as Jesse’s relatives must have budgeted for a little more water as they had done his laundry while we was with us.
Vlad showed me his boom-box. His only complaint with it was the rate at which it ate batteries— eight ‘D’ cells, so I decided to pick up a set of alkaline rechargeables at Crappy Tire. I had a charger unit. We could have music in the back yard or dock. It had a jack for an iPod or iPhone as well, so we wouldn’t be short of tunes. We sat around the table with cold beer and a pad of paper to plan meals for the next week. We all looked through the freezer, fridge and cupboards to see what we needed. Our trip was almost delayed when Jesse bent over to look in the freezer. What a delicious ass! I preferred to buy our food here and freeze the steaks and chops to take to the cottage. We could always get staples in town like Robb and I had. I’m sure with party animal Jesse, we wouldn’t make it from Friday to Monday without replenishing the beer supply. Robb was good with food too. He was used to helping his mother out around the house and especially in the kitchen. When food was being prepared though, Jesse was the alpha dog of the kitchen and BBQ.

“When I pick up my stuff, I will try, once again, to get my mail. Like, my computer is one of those from a company in Texas. It would be Texas where everything is big because all I’ve had with it are big problems, you know?” Vlad stated.
“It sounds like mine, which was made in Asia. It had been working okay but it’s getting really slow. The last time I got it fixed for the same problem, it took 2 weeks and cost over AUD100. I need to get it fixed again before school starts, Jesse echoed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Our first stop was the loft. New stone window sills were installed. The new exterior cladding of 4” of closed- cell blue Styrofoam covered by wire lath and stucco was nearing completion. It was unfortunate the red brick exterior had to be covered, but the corrosive air downtown over nearly 100 years disintegrated the brick. By doing this, the building would have an excellent insulation value, end the on-going brick repair work and provide thermal storage in the fabric of the building. Mainly though, it allowed exposed brick on the inside. With the heating and cooling demands substantially reduced, each unit will be heated and cooled with its own water-to-air heat pump. On cold winter nights, some heat will be added from the building’s water heater to the water line. In the summer, the water supply to the water heater feeds through the heat pump lines which preheats the water in the huge hot water storage tank, thus saving on water heating. The ductwork is the round style used in many commercial retrofits.
I saw Josh the electrician working on my west terrace so we went up there first. Naturally Robb made a bee-line for the terrace to see Josh. I pointed out some of the interesting things like the mezzanine running the length of the loft and about 1/3rd the width. With the high ceilings, there was room to put another level over part of the loft.
“I’m going to have my office built at one end up there, and there will be plenty of space for some other desks for study areas. The kitchen is going in that corner, and the fireplace over there. Come with me, and I will show you the terraces, and the hunky, gay electrician who Robb really likes,” I chuckled.
“Josh buddy, how’s it hanging?” I asked.
“Scott, good to see you. What’s up?”
“I’ve brought some team mates for a ride to show them my new crib as I have some new drawings and specs to take to the office but seeing you jogged my mind. I seem to have forgotten cable, ethernet and phone wiring plans. This is primarily for the balcony, where my office and the guy’s study area will be. I see you are hooking up the wiring for the Jacuzzi,” I said.
“Yeah, it’s all done. It’s going to be filled and leak tested then the pool company will start it up later this week. Hi, I’m Josh, electrician for now and hopefully a friend when the guys move in. My boyfriend is a carpenter and he is working on this project too. I suspect he will be in this unit in a day or two,” he said to all, extending his hand.
“Guys, let me show you the 2nd floor. Follow me.”
We stopped at the balcony level where the office and study areas would be.
“In all the other units, the balcony is where the bedroom would go, but this is the penthouse unit. The sleeping area is actually a penthouse and walks out to the roof of the building where the swimming pool and sauna are.”
The guys rubbernecked and had a look of awe on their faces. I pointed out the wood strip flooring which was actually the 2” edges of 2 X 4’s. I showed them the second floor, indicating where the shower, bathrooms, laundry, guest room and seven walk-in closets would go. I didn’t mean to let that slip and hoped it went unnoticed.
“Seven closets for three guys?” Jesse enquired.
Oh, boy, Jesse wasn’t stupid. Scott, think fast.
“Erm, Jesse, yeah seven. One for the guest room, and two each for the three of us.”
That should take care of that. I thought he was supposed to be a dumb jock.
“Why wouldn’t you just make three large ones?” Jesse asked.
At this point I turned beet red.
“Jesse, um, in Canada with the drastic change in seasons, we like to have two closets, one for winter and one for summer clothes, but I guess you don’t do that in Australia,” I lied.
Would bullshit baffle brains?
“That’s a good idea,” he said, unenthusiastically.
“And this is the door to the roof.”
Whew!
We went out on the roof where the pool was being filled. The pool was elevated as it was built on a steel structure above the building’s roof. It had cedar decking installed around the elevated pool with stairs leading down to the roof, which was having cedar decking installed. The gas fitters and electricians had completed their rough-ins. I had one of only three units with terraces; the other owners had to use the roof. One of the carpenters was really good looking with his pencil stuck over his ear. He was also shirtless with a well tanned vee shaped back, ripply abs, hairy chest & legs and a heavy looking tool called a power saw. He couldn’t stop staring. I wondered if it was Jeff, Josh’s boyfriend. We walked to the elevator penthouse with the adjoining sauna and went in. It was all cedar, naturally, and I was surprised it was turned on but realized the building was more than 80% occupied now. There were 2 showers, each accessed through a change room. The stairs to the top floor were close by. Being on the roof, the elevator didn’t come this far. We trekked back down to the main floor finding Robb still talking to Josh.
“Josh, does Jeff have a hairy chest, ripped abs and a vee shaped back?” I asked.
“Oh, I see you were on the roof. That would be him -- he is working there today. Did you say anything to him?” he inquired nervously.
“No, not to worry. I’ll wait for introductions when you guys come over for a soak unless you would like to come up to the house tonight?” I asked

Sheep & Guys,
I finally got a chance to read through Chapter XI - the ups and downs of the guys' emotions as Scott burst their cum-filled bubbles.
I know why - he wants to be fair to Robb.
The guys are all great - and oh to be young, again.
Now, on to 12!

Maybe I'll have to ask him for a full body massage, IRL, and see if that improves my blood pressure, which he keeps raising with his writing!

If you have blood pressure problems, consider going on a salt free diet. This includes not swallowing. Sorry
Well, consuming PLENTY of fluids can help flush the excess salt out of your system, so, maybe swallowing isn't an issue, after all . . .

Uh ... Swallowing WHAT?
Here in Wisconsin it's all about "Natural" Cream!
Salt? Who said anything about salt (other than my cardiologist)?
Thank "Goodness" he didn't say anything about Reading!

Our trip was almost delayed when Jesse bent over to look in the freezer. What a delicious ass! I preferred to buy our food here and freeze the steaks and chops to take to the cottage. We could always get staples in town like Robb and I had. I’m sure with party animal Jesse, we wouldn’t make it from Friday to Monday without replenishing the beer supply. Robb was good with food too. He was used to helping his mother out around the house and especially in the kitchen. When food was being prepared though, Jesse was the alpha dog of the kitchen and BBQ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We jumped in the truck, purchasing the batteries first then parking at the supermarket. I paired up with Jesse; Vlad joined Robb and we snaked our way through all the aisles. I caught the butcher’s eye, who has always been more than friendly. Today, however, I caught his eyes perving Jesse’s butt. We decided to have him cut all the steaks thick, well marbled and trimmed of extra fat. We bought a couple of extra steaks and chops hoping David could join us Thursday night and for the weekend. He would be a fun addition for our cottage get away. We bought extra thick pork loin chops, well trimmed, shish-kabobs, and lots of lean hamburg which our more than curious butcher said he would make up fresh. Sand Shark steaks arrived that morning so we got four for tonight. The butcher had his own marinade which he packaged and included. We bought a couple dozen Bratwursts for lunches. We ordered shrimp to be picked up on Friday for Friday’s dinner with James. They don’t freeze well but would be fine, properly wrapped in newspaper and transported them in the cooler with lots of ice. By the time we finished shopping, our 2 carts looked like we could survive a nuclear attack.
Our next stop was the Beer store. It carries about 360 different beers from around the world and luckily had Fourex Australian beer as Jesse said it was the best -- real Aussies don’t drink Fosters. Jesse bought two cases of XXXX as they refer to it. I bought a case of Alexander Keith’s while Robb bought a case of Sleeman’s for himself and Vlad. On the way back, I purchased two waterproof mattress covers for the Temper-Pedic queen mattresses. The guys saw the thick California king beds, and were goofing off on them like children. I tried them and checked stock. The last stop was the LCBO or Liquor Control Board of Ontario which we also called the government jug store. It was a huge supermarket of wine, liquor, beer etc. from all over the world. I bought a bottle of Mt. Gay amber rum from Barbados; Vlad got vodka; Robb Got Tequila, and Jesse bought Canadian Club. I parked the truck close to the kitchen door and we unloaded it, with the beer going to the cold cellar after restocking the beer fridge. Naturally Jesse removed 4 beers to quench our thirst now and make more room for his XXXX.
Vlad helped me strip the beds, put on the covers and launder the sheets. I asked Vlad and Jesse to get their laptops and check their mail. I gave them the password for the router. Luckily they both worked to some degree. It was like they were on dialup they were so slow.
It was another beautiful afternoon, perfect for tanning. Our bartender, Jesse, brought us each a cold one.
“Are you guys going to take your clothes off and get an all over tan or do I have to do it for you?” I asked.
“Marvy, you can help me get undressed,” Robb replied.
So I did. Actually we all gave him a hand. The spirit of co-operation prevailed until we were all nude, and hard, I might add. I smeared some sunscreen on Vlad’s dick after covering his white body with it. I didn’t want him burning because I planned to butt fuck him tonight. His cute ass was telling me it was the right thing to do.
I really wanted to kick back with the boys but had stuff to do. I would join them later. I went into the library with a towel wrapped around me, and closed the door. I got the quote from the Apple dealer so phoned and ordered a 15” Mac Book Pro each for Robb and James. I asked them to check stock for two more, Robb had used an older desktop machine in his parent’s living room or one in the library. If Vlad and Jesse were to move in, they will get the same one. My business will be buying them but they will be for the use of the guys as long as I could link them up for distributed computing on evenings and weekends after I did large photo shoots. Processing of RAW picture files was processor intensive and distributed processing was an easy way around it. They will connect to a Thunderbolt Network Attached Storage device (NAS) so everybody’s files would be copied automatically to a series of RAID enabled hard drives in a black box at 10 Gbps or 20 times faster than USB 2.
The snail mail arrived. Hmm, a letter to my mother from an insurance company. I opened it. It was a letter stating premiums would no longer be required on her life insurance policy. The reason ticked off was Death of insured. The letter went on to advise that a claim for payout could be made by completing the attached form, having it signed and notarized, and returned with a copy of the death certificate. It indicated a policy amount of $500,000. I guess the paperwork was worth it! I phoned James at the marina. He was happy to hear from me. I told him a life insurance policy had been discovered on my mother’s life and that I wanted to go through with the boat purchase, hoping I could have it for the weekend. I also told him about Vlad and Jesse who would be with us for Thursday’s practice, and a party and overnight stay and, in fact, we were all coming up Friday to Monday or Tuesday for a vacation. I asked him if he’d gotten a new computer last year when he started college.
“No such luck. With the economy in the doldrums, my ‘rents stopped any unnecessary purchases. They are going to be happy about the boat. I’m sure if I needed it to show a prospective client, you would let me use it,” he said.
“Only if you promised sexual favours,” I confirmed.
“Tell me about these guys. Are they hot?” James inquired.
“Good swimmers, good looking, a load of laughs, appreciative, nicely hung, superb bubble butts, helpful around the house, good in bed and easy to get along with. I’m crazy about Jesse, the Aussie who is going to be a Phys Ed teacher. He has a beautiful body, and yes, dammit, he made me love him. It’s strange that we all love each other and I’m sure you will feel the same way. We all sleep together and there isn’t any jealousy, just love and great sex. You know how much I love you; I want to be with you when you make love to him. I’m boned just thinking about it. I would send you a cock shot but I know you well enough to know it wouldn’t make any difference to you,” I said.
“Dude, I’m hard just hearing about it. Will they be in residence or do they have an apartment?” James asked.
“Here’s the thing. I want you to meet them first and then you, Robb and I can sit down and discuss if we want two more loft-mates. They haven’t found an affordable apartment downtown. They have seen the loft and loved it. I mentioned there would be seven walk-in closets and Jesse assumed two of them might be for them, but I dodged that bullet, which seemed to disappoint him. In any event they are always happy. I’ve felt them out enough to know they would move in with us in a heartbeat. I don’t need the money. but think it would be like a fraternity. When classes start we’re going to be going off in different directions, so it’s not like there’s going to be the five of us all the time,” I said.
“Scott, I’ve known you all these years. You make good decisions. I’m comfortable with you just telling them they can stay, but if you want me in on the decision, we can do that,” he said.
“Let’s make the decision together on Thursday -- democracy in action. If and when they are moved in, I want them to be equals – all five of us will make decisions that affect our lives together. Be sure to ask your dad the price of the boat and bring your laptop down as I want to make sure it works with my router,” I said.
I received an email with the quote on the blinds. It seemed reasonable so I emailed back and gave the go-ahead making sure they would be ready the day of closing. The revisions came in from the builder. It seemed like a lot, but with all the plumbing, ventilation, seven fully equipped walk-in closets, and all the electrical equipment, it wasn’t out of line. So I printed it, signed it, and faxed it back, telling them I could bring a cheque Wednesday or Thursday. They indicated the shoe storage area was going to take some time and had therefore excluded it. The upside to this is they said closing date could be moved up two days if I was agreeable. Since I didn’t need the money from the house sale to close on the loft, I agreed to the new closing date of Aug 17th. I would re-book the movers for the 18th, allowing my cleaning lady a day to clean the house. I still needed to put something together about Robb’s deviant brother, but decided to burn a CD of the phone conversation for my lawyer. We could handle the insurance document at the same time, so I called my lawyer and spoke to his secretary about signing the insurance thing, asking if I could bring a friend who needs to talk to someone about a personal matter and would need 15 minutes of time. I made an appointment for 10:30 Wednesday morning. We could drop Jesse and Vlad off for some shopping and Robb could do the rounds with me and perhaps we could all meet up for lunch in the gay village.
Now it was liquid gold time. I noticed Vlad had placed the sheets in the dryer. I went to my bedroom, retrieving something for which Vlad would be grateful.
“Anybody ready for a beer?” I hollered.
I saw three hands waving at me. I went down to the beer fridge bringing the old beer upstairs, stashing all but four in the kitchen fridge. Beer is at its best when it’s bottled so it made sense to use the FIFO (first in, first out) method of inventory control. I went out to the lawn where they were all sunning in the nude. Robb had dozed off lying on his back and was very erect. He really did have a beautiful package. Vlad had his boom-box out there listening to Bob Dylan singing, or whatever you call it. I tossed my towel right beside him, lying down with my arm around him.
“Hey Vlad, how is the sun? I don’t want you to burn your back because I might be on it tonight,” I said.
He wiggled his ass, looking at me seductively.
“Babes, you know what I want tonight, don’t you?” I asked.
“Like does it have anything to do with your fat cock and my pretty little ass?” he questioned, grinning.
“Do you want it to be?” I asked as I pressed my now hard cock against his hip.
“Mhmm,” he responded shyly.
“Babes, I have something that’s going to make it much better,” I confided, showing him the butt plug I brought out with me.
I put it in my mouth, warming, wetting and lubing it, then rimmed him. I slipped it into him as he moaned.
“That feels nice. I finger my hole when I jerk off so I’m not as tight as you might expect a virgin to be,” he said.
I felt much better knowing that part of tonight was on track.
“Robb, we have an appointment with the lawyer at 10:30, so maybe you should go in and type out a statement about what your brother did to you and make a summary of what you told your parents about your brother and their reaction, leading to them virtually disowning you and not allowing you back in their house. If you prefer you can do that first thing in the morning, and it can be in point form,” I said.
“Vlad and Jesse, we need to leave around 9:30 to get you shopping at 10:00am. Perhaps we can hook up for lunch in the village. Also I can take your computers in to see about getting them fixed. My guy is fast and cheap and won’t go snooping through your stuff. Just tell me what your spending limit is for the repairs. Also, I need your password for your user account. Put it on a sticky note with your name and phone number,” I said as I played with Vlad’s butt plug.
“Scott, you know what I feel like doing when you play with that thing?”
“Babes, I have no clue. Why don’t you show me? Deeds speak louder than words, you know,” I said.
Scott, you have no idea how hard you make me doing that. You are so hot,” Vlad said.
Our tongues dueled; I kissed every square inch of Vlad’s body, licking his ears, neck and belly button, nibbling his nipples making him moan. Kisses to the underside of his dickhead made him squirm, but suddenly I sucked his entire cock into my hot, wet mouth playing with it with my tongue, trying to coax the sweet, natural lube from the piss slit. One by one I sucked Vlad’s large balls into my mouth, washing them with my hyperactive tongue. Then I roughly lifted his legs, rolling him back, exposing his sweet hole. My tongue had him ready and moaning for my big, thick, leaking cock. I pre-cum a lot. I started out slowly, like I did with my virgin boyfriend, James, to make sure he was ready for it. I want it to be the ultimate pleasure for us without much initial pain for him. What pain there is quickly becomes indescribable pleasure, keeping his pretty cock rock-hard. We fucked in every possible position, until we found one where I hit his G spot with almost every stroke. By this time, Vlad was screaming my name in pleasure, digging his nails into my back, trying to get more of me inside him. We are oblivious to Jesse and Robb having a 69 on the lawn beside us, being so wrapped up in our passion for each other. I sped up, until I was on the edge, then I’d stop for a minute.
Vlad asked me, in his ragged voice. to lie on my back so he could sit on my hardness and could control the stimulation. Pre-cum ran down his cock. He underestimated how close I was to the edge and slammed his ass down on my thickening cock. He tightened his sphincter on it at the same time and it was too much for me to hold back. I flipped him on his tummy and rammed my huge, thick cock as hard and fast and deep as I could, inside. Spurt after spurt of my thick cum filled him to overflowing, but the sensation is so wonderful for me I keep pounding the boy’s ass and within a minute, more of my sperm injected into his hole again as I pistoned his cute bum selfishly. I pulled out of him and stuffed three fingers in his asshole and swallowed his dick, which was engorged way beyond its normal. The twink’s balls were drawn up underneath and he screamed "FUCK ME, FUCK ME, SCOTT". My finger hit Vlad’s prostate which started a chain of events which neither of us will ever forget. He felt his boymilk travelling from inside, thru the thick tube beneath his large cock and it exploded into my sucking mouth. I swallowed his very masculine essence mouthful after mouthful and then placed my face on his erupting erection and let him saturate my face with his big load. As his orgasm subsided I sucked the remnants of his best experience ever into my mouth, then French kissed him, unselfishly letting him also enjoy the results of our lovemaking.
I held him tenderly in my arms and whispered, ‘I love you Vlad,’ in his ear, and he cried but they were tears of joy. I cried as well, and kissed the boy. We fell asleep in each other’s arms, physically spent and emotionally satisfied.

Chapter Thirteen
Previously ....
Our trip was almost delayed when Jesse bent over to look in the freezer. What a delicious ass! I preferred to buy our food here and freeze the steaks and chops to take to the cottage. We could always get staples in town like Robb and I had. I’m sure with party animal Jesse, we wouldn’t make it from Friday to Monday without replenishing the beer supply. Robb was good with food too. He was used to helping his mother out around the house and especially in the kitchen. When food was being prepared though, Jesse was the alpha dog of the kitchen and BBQ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We jumped in the truck, purchasing the batteries first then parking at the supermarket. I paired up with Jesse; Vlad joined Robb and we snaked our way through all the aisles. I caught the butcher’s eye, who has always been more than friendly. Today, however, I caught his eyes perving Jesse’s butt. We decided to have him cut all the steaks thick, well marbled and trimmed of extra fat. We bought a couple of extra steaks and chops hoping David could join us Thursday night and for the weekend. He would be a fun addition for our cottage get away. We bought extra thick pork loin chops, well trimmed, shish-kabobs, and lots of lean hamburg which our more than curious butcher said he would make up fresh. Sand Shark steaks arrived that morning so we got four for tonight. The butcher had his own marinade which he packaged and included. We bought a couple dozen Bratwursts for lunches. We ordered shrimp to be picked up on Friday for Friday’s dinner with James. They don’t freeze well but would be fine, properly wrapped in newspaper and transported them in the cooler with lots of ice. By the time we finished shopping, our 2 carts looked like we could survive a nuclear attack.
Our next stop was the Beer store. It carries about 360 different beers from around the world and luckily had Fourex Australian beer as Jesse said it was the best -- real Aussies don’t drink Fosters. Jesse bought two cases of XXXX as they refer to it. I bought a case of Alexander Keith’s while Robb bought a case of Sleeman’s for himself and Vlad. On the way back, I purchased two waterproof mattress covers for the Temper-Pedic queen mattresses. The guys saw the thick California king beds, and were goofing off on them like children. I tried them and checked stock. The last stop was the LCBO or Liquor Control Board of Ontario which we also called the government jug store. It was a huge supermarket of wine, liquor, beer etc. from all over the world. I bought a bottle of Mt. Gay amber rum from Barbados; Vlad got vodka; Robb Got Tequila, and Jesse bought Canadian Club. I parked the truck close to the kitchen door and we unloaded it, with the beer going to the cold cellar after restocking the beer fridge. Naturally Jesse removed 4 beers to quench our thirst now and make more room for his XXXX.
Vlad helped me strip the beds, put on the covers and launder the sheets. I asked Vlad and Jesse to get their laptops and check their mail. I gave them the password for the router. Luckily they both worked to some degree. It was like they were on dialup they were so slow.
It was another beautiful afternoon, perfect for tanning. Our bartender, Jesse, brought us each a cold one.
“Are you guys going to take your clothes off and get an all over tan or do I have to do it for you?” I asked.
“Marvy, you can help me get undressed,” Robb replied.
So I did. Actually we all gave him a hand. The spirit of co-operation prevailed until we were all nude, and hard, I might add. I smeared some sunscreen on Vlad’s dick after covering his white body with it. I didn’t want him burning because I planned to butt fuck him tonight. His cute ass was telling me it was the right thing to do.
I really wanted to kick back with the boys but had stuff to do. I would join them later. I went into the library with a towel wrapped around me, and closed the door. I got the quote from the Apple dealer so phoned and ordered a 15” Mac Book Pro each for Robb and James. I asked them to check stock for two more, Robb had used an older desktop machine in his parent’s living room or one in the library. If Vlad and Jesse were to move in, they will get the same one. My business will be buying them but they will be for the use of the guys as long as I could link them up for distributed computing on evenings and weekends after I did large photo shoots. Processing of RAW picture files was processor intensive and distributed processing was an easy way around it. They will connect to a Thunderbolt Network Attached Storage device (NAS) so everybody’s files would be copied automatically to a series of RAID enabled hard drives in a black box at 10 Gbps or 20 times faster than USB 2.
The snail mail arrived. Hmm, a letter to my mother from an insurance company. I opened it. It was a letter stating premiums would no longer be required on her life insurance policy. The reason ticked off was Death of insured. The letter went on to advise that a claim for payout could be made by completing the attached form, having it signed and notarized, and returned with a copy of the death certificate. It indicated a policy amount of $500,000. I guess the paperwork was worth it! I phoned James at the marina. He was happy to hear from me. I told him a life insurance policy had been discovered on my mother’s life and that I wanted to go through with the boat purchase, hoping I could have it for the weekend. I also told him about Vlad and Jesse who would be with us for Thursday’s practice, and a party and overnight stay and, in fact, we were all coming up Friday to Monday or Tuesday for a vacation. I asked him if he’d gotten a new computer last year when he started college.
“No such luck. With the economy in the doldrums, my ‘rents stopped any unnecessary purchases. They are going to be happy about the boat. I’m sure if I needed it to show a prospective client, you would let me use it,” he said.
“Only if you promised sexual favours,” I confirmed.
“Tell me about these guys. Are they hot?” James inquired.
“Good swimmers, good looking, a load of laughs, appreciative, nicely hung, superb bubble butts, helpful around the house, good in bed and easy to get along with. I’m crazy about Jesse, the Aussie who is going to be a Phys Ed teacher. He has a beautiful body, and yes, dammit, he made me love him. It’s strange that we all love each other and I’m sure you will feel the same way. We all sleep together and there isn’t any jealousy, just love and great sex. You know how much I love you; I want to be with you when you make love to him. I’m boned just thinking about it. I would send you a cock shot but I know you well enough to know it wouldn’t make any difference to you,” I said.
