Chapter 582 – Setting Things Straight With Jules
I was relieved and excited to know Lucky and Marvin hit it off they way they did. I had never seen Lucky this excited before. I could tell he was in love. I just hoped things between the two would continue to last like they started off. Lucky deserved to have love in his life. He was such a great guy, and I was so proud of him.
When we got back to the apartment, Clay hadn’t returned from the studio yet, although the late news had just ended, so he could show up almost any time now. I always worried about him coming back that late at night. Not that he wasn’t an adult, but we’d come to learn there were guys in town that didn’t like what he was reporting, and could easily intimidate him, or worse yet, do him bodily harm. That always concerned me. Blake and I dug out our laptops to do a little studying before bed, setting up at the kitchen island. Jake was working at his desk in our bedroom.
“Sounds like you had a good time with Wes last night,” I chided. Blake smiled at me.
“Wes is a great guy, Josh. I like the way he cuddles me when we sleep together. He says it’s natural for him. I’m like his teddy bear. But then Leo is too during the week. Wes just likes to cuddle period. It’s just casual between the two of us, which is great. I enjoy his company, but there’s no strings attached so no disappointments. He’s just got an easygoing loveable personality that I enjoy. I know you do too,” Blake replied. I smiled. “Remember that night in Key West when we fucked him, and he fucked us? Wow, now that was hot for a straight guy. I asked him if he wanted me to penetrate him last night. He said he had enough of that with the three of us that night in Key West. He told me he guessed he was still straight enough to prefer being a top, and avoid being a bottom,” Blake chided, making us both chuckle.
“Hey, however he wants it, it’s still great sex with him, and he has a hell of a nice dick,” I replied. Blake agreed wholeheartedly. “I can’t get over Lucky falling hard for Marvin. That boy is in love for sure,” I shared with Blake. Blake said Lucky just glowed tonight with Marvin at his side. Blake said Marvin seemed like one hell of a nice guy. I told him I thought so also.
“So it looks like one hell of a busy week coming up, Josh. Will should be here sometime this week. I hope he might spend at least one night with us. I’d love to have him sleep with me one night, or maybe all four of us sleep together,” Blake mentioned, giving me the impression he was anxious to be intimate with Will again.
“I think he should sleep with you one night at least, Blake. I kind of detect a sliver of chemistry between the two of you. I’ve seen that more than once when we’ve all be together. He really likes you, you know,” I replied to a blushing Blake.
“Well, he loves you for sure, you and Jake both. But then, who doesn’t? We just can’t help ourselves. But, yeh, there’s something I feel for Will. I mean he’s such a great guy and so loveable. I swear he’s almost another version of you, Josh,” Blake informed me, making me blush.
“Now that’s a hell of a compliment, as you know how much I love the two of you. To be compared to Will, is an extreme compliment, and even to you also, Blake. You’re right up there with Will in my book. Can’t help but love the both of you for sure,” I replied. Blake leaned over and kissed me. I grabbed his head and gave him a passionate kiss.
“Wow, I think you gave me a boner,” he said, reaching down and adjusting his dick in his briefs. I sighed.
“Too bad we don’t have more time to take care of that,” I chided. He smiled, big time.
“That’s okay. I think Wes took way too good a care of that last night. I might need a couple of nights to let my balls regenerate. Good grief, how many times can a guy get off in a night?” he asked, shaking his head.
“I guess as many times as he feels he can, until he has nothing else left to give,” I replied. “Don’t think I ever want to get to that point for fear it might never come back,” I chided, making Blake smile. “Unless you’re Dustin, who rapidly replenishes loads like crazy. That boy can cum and cum. His balls never run out. I swear he shoots the same amount of cum, and just as hard, regardless how many times he cums in a night. He’s unbelievable. Wish I had his stamina,” I chided, to Blake’s smiles. I filled Blake in on Dustin’s debacle with Ethan. Blake couldn’t believe it.
“I flat out told him to quit torturing himself, and find him a truly loving gay boyfriend as Ethan was going to drive him crazy. I swear he can’t help himself. I mean he has sex with Dave, Caleb and Chase as much as he wants, I guess, but his heart is hung up with Ethan for some reason. I mean we all love Ethan, but he’s confused. That confusion was mostly created by us, I have a feeling. In fact, I feel guilty about that to some extent. Ethan was so hung up on being like us, he became us, but he really belongs in a straight world, where he would have been happier. He cares about all of us, and loves us as his closest friends, but I have a feeling, if he’d had straight close friends, and never been exposed to us, he might be a lot happier today. He desperately wanted to be a part of Stoney Enterprises and a shareholder, to the point he was willing to turn gay and even learn to enjoy gay sex, but he really is straight, which is confusing his heart, I really believe. I’ve tried to talk to him and tell him he needs to be straight, to forget about having sex with us, but he’s stuck between worlds right now. I don’t think that’s healthy. This loving relationship between him and Dustin doesn’t help matters at all. I just hope it doesn’t create mental trauma for him later in life,” I explained. Blake shook his head.
“I hear what you’re saying, and you’re probably closer to being right than Ethan will ever admit. I just hope the two of them are strong enough to figure this out by themselves,” Blake replied.
“I think you hit the nail on the head. Can they figure this out themselves? Can any of this be mentally healthy? Might need Dr. Wayne to do some counseling before this gets too crazy,” I suggested. Blake thought that might be a good idea, or at least discuss it with Dr. Wayne, to see what he thought should be done, if anything.
Clay finally arrived. He gave us both a hug. “Anyone sleeping over with you tonight, Blake?” Clay asked, before he went to the bedroom to strip to his underwear. Blake smiled.
“No, you can have your bed back tonight, Clay. Wes is cuddling with Leo tonight. We’re good,” Blake replied. Clay smiled.
“Darn. I was almost hoping he was spending the night again, as nice as last night was with Jake and Josh,” Clay replied, making us smile.
“Well, they probably need some alone time together anyway. But, if you get horny, I can probably pitch hit for them if that trips your trigger, although Wes pretty much drained my balls last night,” Blake offered. Clay smiled.
“Understand completely. Same thing happened to me. I’m not used to that at all. Maybe we all just need some sleep tonight for sure, give our chippies a chance to replenish. But, I might take you up on that sometime if you wouldn’t mind. Can’t say that wouldn’t be kind of nice in a way,” Clay replied, giving Blake a smile. Blake told him that would be fine, as he thought he’d enjoy it. if Clay thought he would. Clay was all smiles. He seemed to be much happier after giving up his virgin ass last night, I had to believe.
“Be careful, Blake. Clay’s a tiger under the sheets,” I chided. Clay blew me a kiss. He was starting to mellow out, let his hair down some and not be so stiff. I had to guess maybe a dick up one’s ass might get rid of the stick up one’s ass. Not that he had a stick up his ass, but he was different before, and now he was slowly becoming one of us. There was hope for him after all. The more time I spent with him, the more I appreciated him. I was glad Blake offered to help him out also. Clay needed more intimate friends other than Jake and myself.
We gave up for the night. I hugged Blake and Clay and headed to bed. Jake had just finished up what he was studying and was ready to head to bed also. We hit the bathroom, took a piss and brushed our teeth, then headed off to bed, stripping off our briefs and crawling naked into each other’s arms. I was waiting to see if we were both too tired to mess around and maybe just cuddle to go to sleep. My wait didn’t last long, as Jake was all over me in no time like a gay sex starved fiend. I had to admit, it was a hell of a lot of fun. I felt like we both drained our balls once again before it was all over with. We finally passed out in each other’s arms.
Seeing Blake the next morning, I asked if anything happened between he and Clay last night. He said he got a hug and a quick kiss before they went to sleep, but they both were worn out and anxious just to sleep. He was happy that Clay hugged him and kissed him, though, citing there was hope for more if he wanted it. I thought that was sweet.
We met up at the SU for coffee before marketing, as usual. Andy, Trevor, Rod, Jake, Blake and me. Rod said last night’s steak was unbelievable. He said Allen was one hell of a great griller for sure. He loved the way he prepared his steaks. I assured Rod, that steaks were one of Allen’s many talents. He didn’t care that I elaborated on Allen’s other talents, afraid of what he might discover. Trevor told him, he could give Rod a list, but it might embarrass him. Rod begged Trevor to spare him.
“Okay, that Marvin guy, our new dancer and apparently a new boyfriend to our cop friend, looked kind of hot. Anyone ride that pony yet?” Trevor asked, making me give him a dirty look. “Just asking? Is he available?”
“No, he’s not available, as in ‘available’ in your mind, Trev. He’s one hell of a decent guy who has just discovered how to enjoy male intimacy with Lucky. I’d swear those two are in love already. They both fell hard for one another,” I explained. Rod shook his head.
“Good Lord, I don’t understand you guys sometimes. You guys are just as gossipy as women,” Rod complained.
“Hey, we have to know things like this, Rod. Once you get a taste of dick in your ass, you’re always looking for more. Strange dick is the same as strange pussy, to put it in perspective,” Trevor told him, getting odd looks from Andy.
“Trevor has definitely had some strange dick in him for sure, which is why he’s the expert now,” Andy chided, to Trevor’s disapproval.
“Hey, I like to try it all out. Speaking of which, we haven’t had anything of size lately. We need to get Gabe over for some fun, sit on that big cock of his,” Trevor mentioned.
“Hell, my ass was sore for a week after meeting up with that big cock,” Andy complained.
“Oh, you guys are something else. That’s way too much information for me,” Rod complained, to our chuckles.
“Hey, if Will is moving to Uni, does he like to fuck around?” Trevor asked. I shook my head in dismay.
“He’s not really into sport fucking like you are, Trev. He’s more of a relationship type of guy, like Rod is with Mary Ann,” I replied. Rod shook his head.
“Honestly, right about now, I’d love to strip her clothes off, dive my tongue into that snatch of hers, then fuck her senseless until my balls shriveled up and dropped off,” Rod said, indicating he was somewhat sexually frustrated, making us laugh.
“Damn, Rod. I could give you an ass that would feel better than a pussy any day, and you could fuck that silly if you need a release,” Trevor offered, with Andy shaking his head.
“Don’t tempt me, Trevor. I might just take you up on that offer,” Rod replied, somewhat seriously. Trevor told him to bring it on.
“You, okay?” I asked Rod. He rolled his eyes.
“It’s just that I want to be so close to her, have a serious loving relationship, and we don’t seem to be getting anywhere. Not like I’d like for it to be by now anyway,” Rod replied, being serious. “You guys are loving and caring to one another every day and night. I want that in my life too, only not with a dude, but with a woman. Something tells me women are not as capable of love as guys are, after watching all you guys. Good grief, watching Lucky last night with Marvin, who seems to be a really decent dude, I just wanted that in my life with Mary Ann. What’s the holdup, Josh. What am I doing wrong?” he asked, somewhat exasperated.
“You’re asking a gay dude what’s wrong with your straight relationship with a woman. What’s right about that?” I chided. He did give me a grin.
“No one understands relationships quite like you guys. That I’ve learned, and, as much as it pains me and embarrasses me to say this, I’ve come to appreciate. There, I said it,” Rod replied. I patted him on the shoulders.
“You really want to know what’s slowing your relationship down with Mary Ann?” I asked. Rod was all ears. “You want it too bad. You need to back off and let nature take its course. I can tell she likes you, Rod. I really can, but you’re too eager. Women take advantage of that, string you along and toy with you. They can’t help themselves. You need to pay less attention to her to make her try harder to get you,” I suggested. He looked at me like I was nuts. “I’m serious, you’re way too eager.”
“What am I supposed to do, act like I’m the prize and she should be grateful to have me?” he questioned, but concerned.
“Well, let’s not go overboard. Just be your natural self. You’re like a little puppy dog, hanging on her every word. Back off some and play it cool. Don’t throw yourself at her feet constantly. I sure as hell don’t placate her, and she’d be all over me if I’d let her. I don’t do anything to encourage that at all,” I assured him.
“You don’t have to, because you’re Josh and I’m Rod. You’re the hot one in the group. She knows she can’t have you, which makes her want you all the more,” Rod replied.
“True, but in the straight world, you’re just as desirable as I would be if I was straight, God forbid,” I joked. Rod even chuckled.
“I don’t know, Josh. I’ll try to back off some, not chase her like you said. It’s not going to be easy, as you know how much I want her to love me. I really think she’s the one I want to spend the rest of my life with,” Rod said seriously.
“You might want to rethink that, Rod, as once you pummel my ass, you may never want pussy again,” Trevor chided. Rod threw a wadded-up napkin at him. I told him not to pay any attention to Trevor, although Trevor was straight at one time, but Betty, his girlfriend was enough to turn any straight guy gay. Rod said maybe he needed to date her. Trevor said he really didn’t need that in his life for sure.
Ty was all excited when I told him that we had a senior administrator that would be here shortly to manage the dormitory project and put the gears in motion for a grand opening. We could finish up the marketing strategy, but he would put the administration package together, source an operator for us to lease most of the space to, and then oversee the operations.
“Okay, then, it’s finally coming together. We have a lot of work to do to get ready for this. If you hire someone in the business, and I have a list of several that I’ll give your new guy, they’ll want to do some of the marketing themselves, but we’ll have all the data available for them so they can’t beat you up on the lease. We’ll give them kind of a turnkey package to walk into. Then we can start working on your other projects,” Ty suggested. Sounded good to us.
Mary Ann was excited to hear about Will joining us, not that she’d ever met the guy. The first thing she wanted to know was if he was on our team or straight. I told her there was no way he’d leave our team. Although somewhat disappointed, she said she’d still be happy to work with him. I told her she’d find that experience rewarding. I told her also, that Rod was working with us on the transition team. For some reason that seemed to please her also.
“Well, I’m with Josh most of the time anyway, so he figured I might was well help out, given my family connections to a large Fortune 500 financial business,” Rod replied, which seemed to impress Mary Ann some. They struck up a conversation about that connection that Rod seemed to handle well, so I left them be until the bell sounded and we got started. When he sat back down beside me, I told him he did well, but not to overdo it. He seemed pleased.
Marketing over with, and Mary Ann’s hugs out of the way, which Rod got the first one this time, impressing him beyond belief, we headed back to the bar for our lunch meeting. All the guys were there. I gave my report of Will joining us this week, and asked if they found a Jeep for him yet. Jordan said it would be at the lot by Wednesday. All we had to do was to pick it up. I told them we had housing for him also, so he was good to go. “What about office space? You guys have someplace in the admin office suite to park him until the new office building is complete?” I asked.
“As tight as we are, we may have to park him in the conference room, which we really don’t use unless you’re there for a meeting,” Jordan replied, not liking the idea.
“Seems logical. At least he has plenty of room to work,” I replied. Jordan said, while it wasn’t ideal, we didn’t have much of a choice. Cam had the only other small cramped office in the suite at the moment. Cam volunteered to move to the conference room, but Jordan said it would be better to put Will there, as he’d be in and out more than Cam would be. I was trying to follow the logic, but really didn’t care. Later it hit me that Jordan wanted to keep the conference room empty on the slight chance I could pound his ass in there sometime. I was sure that’s what he had in mind. Crazy guy, I thought.
I told Ken, Jordan and Nate about the gold and silver we found in the safe, once we opened it. They were blown away. “Do we know the value of what’s there?” Ken asked. I told him I had no idea, but there was a heavy brick of gold in there, telling them Stoney stated it was for emergency purposes in case markets went crazy and the value of the dollar dropped considerably as in high inflationary times. “Do you know what the brick weighed?” Ken asked, thinking he could calculate the current value from the weight. I told him I didn’t weigh it, but we could sometime. Then I told them there were bags of pure silver coins and a couple of silver bars in there also, similar to the bar of gold. “We should value that and add it to the asset list of the corporation. It might be worth a hell of a lot more than you think, Josh,” Ken added.
“No one knows it’s there, Ken, other than you guys. I suggest we leave it that way. It’s not on anyone’s radar at the moment. It’s safe where it is, and it’s there only in case of an emergency, like hiding cash under your mattress, so to speak, only it’s in an almost impenetrable safe. Took us forever to figure out that combination, but Will and I have it, and I’ll give it to you guys also,” I told them. Jordan suggested we might want to move it to a safety deposit box in a bank. I told him it was fine right where it was, right where Stoney put it. Nate wondered how Stoney acquired it. “For all I know, he might have won it in a poker game,” I told them. They didn’t think that was funny. Hell, it may have been true, knowing Stoney.
“It’s amazing how many things we’ve found we had after he died, that he never told us anything about,” Jordan commented. “Even Greer, who lived with the guy for some time, and handled all his personal affairs didn’t know about these things.”
“Stoney is the gift that keeps on giving. Speaking of that it seems he left us his son also,” I chided. They looked at me like I had two heads. Then I read them Stoney’s note to me, leaving out the part where he suggested we may have found the combination to the safe doing something naughty. I did love that part, however, but felt it inappropriate to share with this group. That was Will’s and my secret. They were blown away that Stoney had a son.
“On the matter of finding Joseph, Will is going to report to me what he found out from the private investigator to see if we have a starting point with which to start looking for the boy. I’ll let you guys know what he finds out as soon as I do. Oh, and I won’t be here for lunch tomorrow as I’ll be in Nashville for the game tomorrow night, which I expect you guys to show up here to cheer on the team, and help out. We’re expecting a big crowd,” I told them.
“Not to change the subject, but when is your house going to be done, Buzz. You and Jordan move yet? I keep forgetting to ask.” Buzz smiled.
“Two more weeks and we’re out of our apartment and into the house. We’ve ordered all new furniture which is being delivered in two weeks. The house should be done sometime in the next week and a half, then the furniture arrives. We’ll have a house warming party once everything’s together,” Buzz said proudly. “Still got that beautiful lot up on the hill for you and Jake when you decide to get serious and get out of the apartment,” Buzz offered. I smiled.
“Actually, we were thinking of moving into the house Allen and the guys have. They’ve started the swimming pool already. That damn thing is going to be like a resort of sorts with all the amenities it has once the pool is done. Allen compared it to Uni’s version of the Pink Flamingo, except he says this one is private, for those living there and invited guests only. He called it a Playguy mansion for naked boys only,” I chided, cracking up the rest of the guys, although Nate said it would be pretty much the same once the pool area was done.
Thad came and got me, telling me it was time to go to Accounting class. “Sorry guys, but our business meeting is over for the day, as junior here has to go to class,” I chided. ‘One of these days, I will graduate, I promise, then we can really get into stuff,” I told them, as I hopped off my stool and headed out with Thad.
Due to our long luncheon discussion, we were a little later than normal getting to Dennis. He had to eat fast, but still managed to show his cock to us as he adjusted his skinny jeans to go to class. We didn’t have much time for chit chat, although he was interested in my attending the game tomorrow night and what I thought about it. I told him I thought we were going to win, and that was all that was important. I suggested he come to the CNB to watch it and drink beer with his buddies. He said that sounded like a great idea.
I had a chance to call Will before swim practice. I needed know if he found out anything about Joseph from the PI, then tell him my strategy for Jules. We covered the PI first. Will said the guy agreed to meet with him tomorrow, so he hoped to have more information by the time I got back from the championship game. I told him that would be fine. I also told him we had his apartment ready and his Jeep would be here Wednesday, so he could come whenever he was ready. Will seemed excited to hear that. I asked him how Mal was doing.
“We met with the ranch staff this morning, and explained the change in management. Everyone was relieved to know that Malachi was taking over for me and we weren’t bringing in someone new. I reminded them I was someone new at one time. They told me they were concerned about me at first, but then grew to care about me, and everything worked out fine. Still, they said someone new didn’t always work out for the best. They did say they were going to miss me, however, but Malachi was a great choice, it being a well-deserved promotion. They told me not to worry about anything as everything was going to run like I never left. I told them I was proud of all of them, and appreciated all the support they gave me while I was here. The actually said they’d miss me, so I should come back and visit them from time to time. I told them that Mal would still be reporting to me, so I would be over occasionally. They liked that. Mal did a great job of asking for their support in helping him make you and me proud of what they accomplished. He’s going to be a great leader, Josh. He really is. Oh, and he must have hugged me 20 times today. He kept telling me he was going to miss me terribly. He joked he wouldn’t have anyone to hug naked in the shower anymore when he worked out. I told him I was really going to miss that also, as it was very special to me. He said it was to him also. Can’t figure him out, Josh, but I love the way he is,” Will told me.
“He’s a keeper if there ever was one, Will. Eric is a lot like him in ways. Gotta love them, even if we can’t fuck them,” I chided, making Will laugh, saying he only wished he could make love to Malachi, but he’d never let that happen. I told him I totally understood.
“So, I have a huge favor to ask of you, if you’ll bear with me,” I told Will, making him extremely curious as to what favor I was going to ask of him. “Hear me out before you get your Jockey shorts in a wad. I’m going to make amends with Jules, and I need you to also, even if it’s just for show, which it is,” I started to say before Will replied.
“You can’t be serious, Josh. After the way he talked to you and to me? We shouldn’t even give him the time of day. Fuck him, and I look forward to never having to speak to him again, let alone see him again,” Will went off. I had to laugh. “It’s no laughing matter. I love you, Josh. We shouldn’t have anything to do with him ever again. I’m so ashamed I slept with the guy as much as I did. Gives me the creeps just thinking about it,” Will continued.
“Cool your jets and just hear me out, Will. To make you feel a little better about this, we’re going to use him like he used us for something. I’m going to bring him back down into the fold in order to get him to get us inside C&S Bank in Chicago to get information that will help with the Feds investigation of that bank. It’s important to us to help find out how they launder money in that bank and Jules might be the key to helping the Feds and us in that regard. He’s too greedy to figure out what we’re up to. I’m not sure if it will work or not, but it’s worth a shot. That’s a shot we need to take. I just need you to sound sincere in accepting his apology. You don’t have to work with him or see him. I’ll do all of that. Besides you’ll be here in Uni by then anyway, working on the dormitory project and anything else you can help me with. I’m going to ask him to call you and apologize. That’s all. I don’t need him to come and see you, or anything like that, just make him think you’ve forgiven him for the way he acted, understanding that you weren’t able to have a private conversation with him about your leaving town, and you felt bad about that after the blow up,” I explained.
“Felt bad? Hell, I felt great about it, and his blowing up only proved to me I did not want him in my life ever again. I hear what you’re saying, and if it helps you, then you know I’ll do it for you, but never for him,” Will told me. “Josh, I love you so much I’d do anything for you. You know that,” Will pledged.
“I knew you would, as this is for all of us. You and I sacrifice a little for all of us. It’s what we do anyway, Will. I trust you with everything I have. You’re an even more important part of this organization, someone I can depend on to be an ex-officio CEO and COO of sorts, while Jake and I get our asses through school, until we can really get things going.”
“I understand completely, Josh. Don’t have to like what I’m about to do, but, in a way, it’s kind of fun using Jules, instead of Jules using us this time,” Will replied. I chuckled.
“Thought you’d see it that way, after I helped you understand what we were doing. I can’t wait to have you here with us every day. Oh, and Blake is excited to have you over here also. He thinks you’re kind of special.”
“Well, Blake is a lot like us, Josh. He’s special also. Can’t say as I don’t look forward to spending some quality time with him also, but I doubt if I’ll have the time to fall in love or anything,” Will replied. I chuckled.
“I think we all know that to a certain extent, but it’s nice when we do have time to spend it with the ones we think are very special,” I replied.
“Well, that means you and Jake also. Don’t leave me out of that matchup,” Will chided. I told him I would never forget about him and his needs, as he was definitely ‘special’. He laughed. I told him to squeeze Mal’s bare buns for me when he hugged him naked the next time. Will got a kick out of that, but said he just might do that, since I requested it. He was sure Mal would like that.
Will on board with Jules, I braced myself for my next phone call which would be to, none other than, Jules. Jules was excited to see I called him. “Josh, thank God you called me back. I so want to apologize for my behavior. I don’t know what caused me to act that way, but that’s not who I am really. I love you guys, and didn’t mean to say what I did. I am so ashamed and beg your forgiveness,” he said, before I could even say hello.
“Hey, maybe we all overreacted that day, and maybe we need to start over. Will thought the world and all of you for some time, and what happened Saturday wasn’t any way any of us wanted this to end, so we need to step back, take a breath and try to move forward in a more positive direction,” I responded. I heard a huge sigh of relief.
“Oh, I so agree, but I take full responsibility for my actions. Like I said, I am so ashamed at the way I talked to both you and Will. I know Will loves you more than he could ever love me, and I’m fine with that. In fact, I think it’s wonderful that he loves someone as intensely as he loves you, Josh. I don’t know that I’ll ever be able to get to where you are with him. Still, I really love him also, and I can’t believe I talked to him and you that way, almost destroying all the compassion he had for me, and the trust you had in me for financial assistance. It was so terribly wrong, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get back in your good graces and be able to see Will again,” Jules pledged.
“Let’s just call it a bad day, when things got out of hand. It was an anomaly, not something that will possibly ever happen again. You were hurt because Will was leaving. You didn’t like the fact you were touting another possible financial institution, dealing with a guy I had to fire from Invescor, but that’s a different story now,” I told Jules, trying to rationalize what happened, as if it was something that just got out of hand when emotions entered into the picture. “Actually, Jules, I gave that more thought, and it might make sense to see what C&S has to offer. The fact they are cash rich and have money to lend at cheap prices might work to our advantage. I think I want to talk to you more about that opportunity, if you don’t mind entertaining that thought some,” I told him. You would have thought someone had given him a million dollars.
“Oh, Josh, thank you, thank you. I know this can be a great opportunity for some below market borrowing for SE that will save you tons of money. I just see opportunity all over with these guys. I know Conrad is somewhat of a contentious individual, but he knows his business. I’ll try to work interference between you two or Ken, whoever you want me to work with SE. He seems to know his stuff, Josh. I really liked him when I met him. I didn’t realize, until he told me, that he used to work for a company you owned. He thought you guys were less than qualified to be running a business and telling him what to do in his business. But then, that’s his opinion. He’s probably where he needs to be now, and is doing well with C&S. Anyway, realizing the situation, I’ll try to keep the two of you separated for the most part,” Jules replied.
“I need you to do one more important thing for me, Jules. You can’t treat this lightly,” I warned him.
“I swear, I’ll do anything. I’ll strip naked and let you gang fuck me, whatever. I’m just so excited to be back in your life,” Jules replied, excitedly. I chuckled, telling him he created one hell of a picture in my mind. “We never got to fuck before, Josh. I’d love to have you fuck me. I’d love that more than anything,” he said sincerely.
“That’s not necessary, Jules. What I do need you to do, is call Will and apologize to him. He was somewhat devastated at the way things ended, as you could well imagine. Here’s a guy that trusted you enough to sleep with you and share a good portion of his social life with, that basically just blew him away in a few short minutes over jealousy. That really took a toll on him, Jules. He never wanted things to end that way. In fact, he was trying to work out something where you two could still spend time together, possibly seeing if you could spend some of your time here in Uni with him. You can imagine how blown away he was with the way things ended on Saturday. It really took a toll on him.”
“Like I said, I am so, so sorry, Josh. I’d give anything to be able to apologize to him, but he won’t answer my calls or texts. I even emailed him, but got no response. Will he even talk to me?” Jules asked, which actually sounded like a wounded lover in a sense. I was starting to feel like he was being sincere for once, but there were too many times he’d played this game before, so I discounted that thought.
“I’ll tell him you’re going to call him, or I might just have him call you. I promise he’ll talk to you. We can’t let something like this go on any longer. It’s better we put it behind us,” I told him, relieving him to no end.
“Josh, thank you so much. Oh, I can’t tell you how much better I feel already. This has been killing me all weekend. I just had to find a way to make amends for my stupid, horrible actions. I just don’t know what came over me, but it certainly isn’t who I really am,” Jules replied. Actually, I thought in my mind, this is exactly who he was according to what Will told me. “I promise to make it up to you and Will, Josh. My body is yours. You guys can fuck me senseless if you want. I’d love that actually,” Jules added.
“As I said, not necessary on my end, but we do need your financial expertise for these projects coming up. I’ll be in touch with some questions we’d like C&S to answer before we get too deep in the process of borrowing,” I told him. Jules was all excited. I told him to hang in there, and we’d get back to him.
I called Will to tell him I had talked to Jules, and he could be expecting a call from Jules anytime, or he could call Jules himself. Will said he was not looking forward to talking to him, but asked how the call went. I told Will, Jules was more than polite and seemed sincere as hell about being wrong and acting terrible. Will said that was his normal MO, to blow things up, then grovel at your feet asking for forgiveness. Will said he’d had enough of that in his life from Jules, but he was willing to play along with whatever plan I had in mind as long as he didn’t have to sleep with the asshole again. I told Will, having sex with Jules was up to him and him alone. I’d never ask him to do that regardless of how bad we might need his help. Will thanked me for being such a loving and caring friend, unlike Jules. I had to chuckle. Zach came and told me it was time to go to swim practice. I told Will I had to go, but I loved him terribly, and to be sure to give Malachi a kiss for me. Will said he would definitely do that, using me as an excuse to kiss Malachi. I laughed and told him he was being naughty. He said he learned that from me.
I filled Zach in on my conversation with Jules, on the way to the natatorium. Zach said, although it was kind of payback for Jules’ actions, he knew I wouldn’t intentionally hurt anyone. He told me I was a softy there, so to be sure I knew what I was doing. I had to stop and hug him for his kind words. “I’m just telling you, Josh, you’re doing something here that could definitely help others, but it’s not you. You don’t use people, you admire and care about them always. I’m worried your true feelings might undermine what you’re trying to do here. Maybe you should have Ken, Jordan or even Nate, work with Jules to find out what you need out of C&S to help the Feds and our state AG. I’m worried you might blow it, because you’re trying to mascaraed as someone you aren’t,” Zach told me. He had a point.
“I did pull that off acting as the company gopher when I drove Conrad and Carson back and forth to the airport,” I reminded him. Zach laughed, saying that was true.
“But everything you told them in conversation while driving them was true. You were actually talking to them as if you were the CEO, which you were. They just failed to get the picture, discounting you because they thought you were a driver and no one important. Well Conrad did, but Carson listened. That’s what you told us anyway. This is different. You have no intention on using C&S for financing. You just want information from them. You’re going to have to play Jules to get that information. That’s something your core values may not let you do. Just saying. I’ve loved you long enough to know your capabilities, and to know you can’t use people, Josh. You value them too highly,” Zach replied. I had to hug him again.
“Damn, I love you so much, Zach. We’ll let Jordan and Ken handle the negotiations and the questions. Besides, Conrad hates my guts. He doesn’t really know Ken and Jordan that well. Maybe they can get along with him better than I could ever. I’d have a hard time playing nice around Conrad anyway, now that you mention it,” I replied. Zach said he totally understood that.
We stripped down at the lockers to change into our trunks. I told Allen and OBB that I made nice with Jules and all was well there. “Did he want you to fuck him?” Allen asked, somewhat surprising me he should ask that question. I told him, as a matter of fact he offered to have me, and Will, fuck him senseless. “Thought so,” Allen replied. “He thinks if he lets someone fuck him, the intimacy between them during sex will wipe away all the wrong doing he created on his own. It’s like falling on his sword to appease those he’s abused. Trust me on that. I’ve seen him do it too many times. He pissed off OBB and I one time, and after he apologized profusely, he offered to let us fuck him to make amends. He’s done that several times from what I’ve heard,” Allen informed me.
“Well did you fuck him or tell him that wasn’t the way to resolve issues?” I asked.
“No, we fucked him, then told him that wasn’t the way to resolve issues. He does have a hot ass, Josh. Just saying. You might want to consider fucking him with no strings attached,” Allen replied, with OBB agreeing. I shook my head, then hugged his naked body to mine. “Careful, you’ll give me a boner. Don’t want to be diving off a high dive with a boner,” Allen chided. I squeezed his tight buns as I hugged him for that. “Damn, now you’ve done it,” he said, as I stepped away and watched his cock grow to full mast.
“I can take care of that,” Aiden said, eager to suck Allen’s cock. Les volunteered to let Allen fuck him to get rid of it. Zach, Andy and I just shook our heads. Allen said he’d be fine by the time he got to the diving pool, otherwise we’d start a gay orgy right here and now, then none of us would get anything done. We did tell him it was a pretty penis, however, one he could be proud of. He said he knew that.
Coach caught me on the way to our practice pool. “Josh, auditions are coming up soon for next year’s swim team. I have several resumes on my desk if you want to take a look at who you might want to invite to try out,” he told me. I told him I would try to grab some later this week. He told me we had time, but he thought we might was well get a jump on it, as travel arrangements had to be made for the candidates. I told him I definitely wanted Auggie from Clemson, who I had personally seem swim over Break. I told him he had the body and reach of Michael Phelps and continuously beat me when we practiced. “And he’d want to come to Uni from Clemson?” Coach asked. I smiled. “Oh, okay. So, you’ve tried him out in more ways than one, I see. Nice?” Coach asked.
“Wonderful,” I told him. “He’s great all over, Coach. He’s a fast powerful swimmer, and he has a nice uncut cock, big balls and a very sweet hot ass. Could we ask for more?” I chided. Coach said he’d put him at the top of the stack. I told him he would not regret it.
Zach and Ethan were warming up when I caught up with them. Drew was still working with the relay team. I jumped in the pool with them and started my warmups. Then we sat out for a few minutes, waiting for Drew to arrive to time us. “So how was your double date on Saturday night, Eath?” I asked. He smiled.
“It was actually kind of nice. I think Dustin enjoyed it also. Both girls are sweet. Call me crazy, but I think Dustin was kind of sweet on Nancy, Sally’s best friend. The two looked good together. They also made out like Sally and me. I didn’t expect that from Dustin, but maybe, just maybe, he’s not as gay as he thinks he is. I think the boy is bi-sexual if you ask me. Look how long he dated that one girl with Caleb and his girl, those two sorority sisters. He was fucking her too,” Ethan replied.
“Ethan, he was fucking Caleb at the same time also, remember? I’m not so sure he wasn’t putting up with the sorority sister just to get to Caleb’s ass more,” I replied. Ethan had to stop and think about that one. “Well, he’s kind of doing the same thing here, except all he had to do was to make out with Nancy. I fucked his ass after that, making him happy. It all worked out, and I think he kind of enjoyed it,” Ethan commented. I shook my head. Zach didn’t say anything.
“Just be careful, as you know how much he cares about you,” I reminded him.
“I know, Josh. I care about him also, but he knows our terms. If he can’t tolerate them, then this isn’t for us. I have to have my straight life also, but show him my love for him at the same time. It’s complicated, I know, but it’s something I have to do. I need a wife, a house with a white picket fence, kids and a dog to make me whole in this world. I’ll still try to love him as much as I can to make him happy also. I’m hoping maybe he’ll want what I want also. and end up married with kids so we can have one big happy family,” Ethan shared. I told him that was a huge stretch for my mind, but miracles could happen. All the while I didn’t see this ending well, but I held my opinion to myself. Zach, however, didn’t.
“Ethan, are you sure Dustin isn’t just placating you to keep you happy, but really doesn’t care to date this Nancy girl?” Zach asked him. Ethan looked a little shocked that Zach asked him that question.
“Hey, as boisterous as Dustin is, I’m sure he’d tell me if he didn’t like it,” Ethan replied. Zach shook his head, then told him not to torture his friend making him do things he didn’t want to just to keep himself happy. Ethan wasn’t sure what to think. Zach told him to think about it, and actually ask Dustin to tell him the truth. Ethan didn’t reply, but was deep in thought.
We actually had some good times today. We were gradually decreasing our times, shaving off seconds. Drew was very encouraged by our times today, and congratulated us on our progress. “Guys, I think if we can increase our stamina some, do some more weight lifting combined with running, we’ll be in good shape for the finals, and poised to take state again. We don’t have to post times yet statewide, so Max and his crew don’t know what we’re running yet, but then we don’t know what they’re doing either. We have to believe they are about where they were last year when we competed for state. Ironically, we’re about the same also. That’s not to say we can’t get better,” I told them. How about we come back tonight and hit the exercise room and see if we can’t build a little more strength?” I asked them. Ethan said he was in, which got him out of studying at the apartment with Dustin for a while. Zach said he was good, rubbing his crotch when he said it. I wasn’t sure if he rubbed it intentionally or was suggesting something. At least Ethan would be with us, so the chances of something happening between us might be nill. Zach did get a little frisky in the showers when we were showering off after practice. But then so did Ethan, who was accustomed to fingering assholes as a prank. Zach and I got him good a few times also, as did Aiden, which made me proud of him. I had to love all my guys.
I got a call from Duncan on his burner phone on our way back to the bar, walking with Ethan and Zach. He said he got there this afternoon and met with Greer. “Josh, Key West is beautiful, and damn is it nice and warm here, but it’s so fucking far to drive. I thought my ass was never going to get here. Gees, I’m never moving anymore after that drive. Greer is one hell of a nice guy too, I have to say. He got me settled into the Pink Flamingo in the owner’s suite for the time being, as you instructed. Damn, I’ve never seen so many dicks, balls and bare asses in all my life in one place. Wow, that is some place you have here. That’s going to take some getting used to, but the suite is beautiful,” Duncan raved.
“So, Greer is taking care of you so far. Frank is the manager there at the PF if you need anything. Your evening meals, you’ll have to eat out or buy you some groceries, but lunch is served there. I’m sure Greer will see that you’re taken care of. He needed some help down there anyway, plus we have a couple of projects we’re getting into also you might be able to help with,” I told him.
“Yeh, Greer, and, I guess his name is Samuel, are taking me to dinner soon. I guess I’ll get to know them a little better and find out more things about you. Greer says he has lots to tell me about you. Can’t wait to hear all about it,” Duncan chided. “Oh, and he says he has a line on a couple of apartments to set me up in so I don’t have to live in naked land but for a few days. Kind of interesting, but intimidating at the same time, if you know what I mean,” Duncan commented. I chuckled. I had no problem with living there for sure, but for someone that had never been to a place like that, I guess it could be somewhat intimidating, depending how one measured up.
“Hey, Greer will take good care of you. Samuel is nice, but a little different. He might be more friendly towards you than me. He’s never sure about the relationship between Greer and me. We go back before Stoney even. He was the attorney that put together the first business for us. We’ve been friends and later business partners since then. I’m sure you guys will get along great. Glad to know you made it. Keep me informed as to how you’re doing. We have some things working here to further the investigation, so things are in motion,” I told Duncan. He said he was glad to hear that.
“Josh, thank you for this opportunity. I had a lot of time to think driving down here. I needed this in the worst way. I’m glad to get out of Uni and start a new life. There’s too many unpleasant memories there. I’m not proud of my past. I thought I was beyond that when I got myself cleaned up, opened my own business and started teaching my real estate class at the university. Still, I realized those guys don’t ever leave you alone. Seems like you owe them the rest of your life. I was still being used mentally and physically. I need this more than you can imagine. I’m grateful to you for giving me a new chance in a new place. I’m actually excited to be here. I just hope those assholes never find me,” Duncan commented.
“They won’t find you through us. I can assure you of that, Duncan. Blake and I always liked you, but were never sure we could trust you. Now, it’s all different. We can and will trust you. We appreciate your help exposing those bastards for who and what they really are. You take care and enjoy your new life. Like I said, I’ll be in touch.”
Zach said the phone call sounded good, whatever it was. I told him some things are working out the way they should. I didn’t go into any detail, as the less people that knew about Duncan the better. I trusted Zach with my life, but there wasn’t any reason he’d want to know what we were doing there. Ethan could care less also.
“Hey straight boy, you’re getting a little carried away sticking your finger up dudes’ assholes in the shower, aren’t you?” Zach teased Ethan. Ethan chuckled.
“Ah, it’s all fun. Kind of feels good though, in a way. Can’t say as I mind it. I have to say a dick feels better though,” Ethan replied, somewhat surprising Zach and me.
“Oh, I agree wholeheartedly, but if you’re straight, can you really say that?” Zach asked him. Ethan chuckled.
“Physically it feels great. What can I say? Just because you’re straight doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy certain physical pleasure from another dude,” Ethan replied. Zach and I had to agree, although that type of activity seemed to be more closely associated with being gay in our minds.
“You sure you’re straight?” Zach asked him. Ethan smiled.
“Straight as an arrow. I love the feel of a woman beside me, her soft plump titties in my hands and mouth, the curvature of her ass and that sweet gash between her legs you bury your cock in until it milks all your seed and leaves you breathless,” Ethan replied, sounding like a straight guy if there ever was one. I shook my head in dismay, as did Zach.
“I guess you could say the same thing about sex with a guy, the feel of his hard body, his nipples, chest, tight hard ass, that raging hard cock of his, those voluptuous balls and that sweet tight ass that milks your cock of all your seed,” Zach replied, not to be outdone by Ethan. Ethan chuckled.
“Hey anything that gives you an intense orgasm is good in my book, male or female. Love is a different matter, however. Then there’s the case for procreation. I definitely want to have children, and it takes a woman to give me that,” Ethan replied. Zach told him good luck sticking it out with a woman’s personality just to procreate. Ethan said it would all work out fine.
Greer called right after I got back to the bar and before Kyle and Cam arrived for dinner. “Hey, I got your boy set up. Nice looking dude. May have to check him out naked and see what the possibilities look like,” Greer chided. “He is gay, isn’t he?” I laughed.
“He’s done plenty of gay things, but I’m not sure he’s really gay. Other than being forced to do certain gay things recently, he hasn’t tried to find those types of activities on his own. Truth is, I’m not sure, but if you find something out, let me know,” I replied. Greer said that was confusing. “Just give it some time and study, and maybe you’ll find out sooner or later, but don’t traumatize the boy by forcing the issue,” I urged. Greer said he’d never think of doing anything of the sort. I called ‘BS’, making him laugh.
“Samuel and I are taking him to dinner this evening, so we’ll get a chance to get to know him better. Seems like a great guy so far. I have to admit, the PF was a little intimidating to him when he checked in. I will say there is a great crop of new hot bodies with big cocks in this week. I saw him looking, but wasn’t sure what was going through his mind,” Greer replied. I told him Duncan commented there were a lot of naked guys around, which he said were a little intimidating, but hopefully, he’ll get used to it and maybe even have some fun,” I chided. Greer said he certainly would. Now that Duncan would be staying there, he had an excuse to spend some time there again without possibly raising Samuel’s suspicion. I told him he was a sly dog in heat. He just laughed, saying it was hard to pass up opportunities with hot looking naked guys that liked to fuck. After calling him a slut, I told him I’d talk to him later.
Cam arrived first for a beer, followed by Kyle a few minutes later, and Blake a few minutes after Kyle. Then Clay showed up after that. Jake wasn’t back from gymnastics yet. We all had a beer together before ordering something for dinner. I asked Clay if he heard anything new from the AG’s office regarding C&S Bank and that investigation. Clay said he called their office today, but they said it might take a few weeks before they could get the proper paperwork together and the approval for an official investigation. However, they said they were working with the Fed contact we gave them, thanks to Carson, to see what he knew and how they could collaborate. I then told him what I had going from a borrower’s perspective, using Jules as an inside man, although unbeknown to Jules. Clay thought that was ingenious. He was all excited again.
“Hey, I checked the apartment out for Will today. Everything is ready to go. I even put some beer in the fridge for him to welcome him to Uni,” Kyle said. “Oh, and I got the keys from the manager. She is a nice looking chic, as far as chics go. She tried to seduce me, of all things. I tried to tell her I wasn’t interested, as our relationship should be all business. She told me a nice young virile guy, like me, surely liked sex. I told her I only had sex with people I cared deeply about, and I sure as hell didn’t know her. She even flashed a set of after-market titties at me, if you can believe that. I told her to put her puppies away, as I was definitely not interested. Then she said, ‘what are you gay or something?’ I just told her I was a professional, and my sex life was none of her business. That seemed to piss her off. Then I reminded her that I had an interest in the ownership of the apartment complex, and didn’t think that was a professional way to act. She did apologize, saying it had been a while since she had some dick, and she needed some loving attention. I told her, while that might be true, to find someone else. Not sure where your dad found her, Cam. We need to rethink the manager’s position there. That is, unless you want a shot at her. I’m sure she’d be grateful. Cam blushed.
“Don’t like anything about women, Kyle. You’ve known that for a long time, ever since middle school,” Cam reminded him.
“I know, but thought you might want a chance to take a trip on the feminine side, just to compare. I’m telling you it’s there if you want it. She’s hot to trot,” Kyle teased. Cam just shook his head.
Jake walked in with Terry finally. They both looked like they’d been ridden hard and put out wet. He was shaking his head. I was sure whatever they’d been into, had to be interesting.
