The Coming of Josh

About that much discussed cliff hanger ... "You're a mean one, Mr. [STRIKE]Grinch[/STRIKE] Times!" (*@*) Well done! :=D: ..| :-<

As for the rest, I have to agree with everything that xander has said. Plus, Zach is Such a Sweetheart! Do guys like him really exist? :luv2:

I'm almost feeling sorry for Bill Atchison. Still not sure if I'd ever fully trust him, as far as I could throw his trophy girlfriend, along with his car she's in. And, I have a very sneaky suspicion that I might know who the seller is. However, I'm keeping that to myself, for now ... :-$

One thing I will say is that All of us, including you, FT, are no doubt fully into this amazing bent story! You've gotta let us know what cums next, as soon as you find out! :gogirl:

HUGE HUGS!! (*8*) :kiss:
Chaz :luv:
 
Good Grief, FT. You really blew us away with the cliffhanger. I did not see that coming, but was greatly relieved to find out what the phone call was all about. I kept thinking nothing good was coming from this, but then you made if fun. You devil you. So many twists, turns and fun things in this story. Love your bent mind, bud. Zach is a sweetheart, to be loved by all. I can't wait for him to be with Josh and Jake at school, only Gramps will really miss him. I hope Gramps doesn't have a turn for the worse because Zach leaves to go to school.

I agree with Chaz, that Atchison is still an unknown . I still think he's one of those guys that would suck cock, get fucked or fuck anything he had to get what he wanted, a user. Still Josh is a good judge of character so maybe he'll change him. I still think he's somewhat of a pretentious snob, but we'll see. Only you know the answer to that question. The thing I like with their relationship now, is that Josh seems to be driving the negotiations and Bill seems to be working with him on it. Josh is driving, but Bill seems to be steering in a way. The power/pressure is coming from Josh, but Bill is finding a way to channel the proposal to get a quicker response. They are actually working well together. If they ever fuck, I have to believe Josh is on top, but Bill may tell him how to do it. Ha. Pure speculation on my part.

I like how the relationship with Devin seems to be progressing. Josh got to hold him in his arms when he fell. Too bad he didn't kiss him. Sandy is funny. Still haven't seen his goods yet, but i have to believe Allen or maybe Trevor can make that happen, by teasing him into it. Can't wait to find out

Okay, we are greatly relieved the Cliff Hanger is over. But, we are still excited to see what comes next. So knock out another chapter for us, FT. Let's keep this saga moving. Like Josh is negotiating for his piece of land, we all are negotiating for the next chapter. We liked this one, so onto the next. Many thanks for this great story, FT. I just realized this is chapter 250. Good grief. These aren't short chapters by any means. I swear this must be longer than Tolstoy's War and Peace. Amazing how it gets away from you. It's a wonder you don't have carpel tunnel syndrome. Congratulations on 250 chapters FT. Stay healthy because we need more, and soon also. BC.
 
I see you all survived the cliff hanger. Sorry about that, but I couldn't resist. Great to hear from my northern buddy, Chaz, my southern buddy, BC and now Xander, who's in between. You all have interesting takes on the lives of Josh and friends. I thoroughly enjoy reading your remarks. Am giving you another chapter tonight as I just finished Chapter 257 and am getting too far ahead again. My fingers just won't stop, they get so excited about these guys. Anyway, I need you guys to catch up so I'll dump more chapters on you faster to help catch up. I'm out of town, visiting relatives up north, ugh, next week, so that'll slow down my progress a little and catch you up. I know, it's crazy there are 250 chapters posted already. I started out thinking this was two or three chapter story. Someone got carried away in their bent mind. Glad you guys put up with me. Actually, I think this is therapeutic for me to a certain extent. Either that, or I'm just fucking crazy. Anyway, have fun with the next chapter. FT.
 
Chapter 251 – Counseling Jim

On my walk back to the bar, I felt a little guilty about the way I teased Bill during our meeting. I felt a little naughty, but I had to get the point across to him that he needed to get this negotiation finished. I was confident he got the message, along with an incentive to finish the deal, although I really wasn’t sure how that was supposed to go, or what I wanted to do there. Still, I had some time, and may just have to play it by ear. What I did need was Jordan’s help with the contingency clause for the purchase agreement, that basically stated the purchase was null and void if I couldn’t get the town’s approval for the permits to build the building I wanted to build there. Although Buzz had assured me he could obtain them, there was always something that could come up. I didn’t want to have to spend a half-million on a piece of land I couldn’t develop. I knew enough not to fall into that trap. I decided to call Jordan and ask for his help.

“Jord, baby, Josh here. Do you miss me?” I asked, sounding a little self-centered.

“Josh. Of course, I do. This last weekend was over the top emotionally and physically. I’m still trying to recover, but I think I’m okay. How are you doing anyway?” he asked, being considerate and caring like a great friend.

“Doing fine and working hard to get this land deal put together. Besides, I’m missing you, maybe just a little. Okay, maybe more than just a little, but I need some help on the contingency clause for a purchase agreement for the land we’re about to purchase for the dormitory project. I know I need your expertise on that. I know the broker probably knows everything we need to put in the agreement, but he represents the seller, for the most part, and you and I both know we need something iron clad that represents our best interests. Am I right?” I asked.

“Absolutely. Never use the seller’s broker for putting together the purchase agreement. Did you sign anything yet?” he asked.

“Nothing other than an offer to purchase, contingent on working out a definitive purchase agreement, should our price offer be accepted,” I told him.

“Excellent. We’re in good shape. I’m still at the office. How long did you give the seller to accept, reject or counter your offer?” Jordan asked.

“I gave him 24 hours. Was that too much?” I asked.

“No, hell, that was great. Nothing like putting a little pressure on the guy. You did great, Josh. How confident are you that your offer will be accepted or that you’ll work out something amicable to both parties?” he asked.

“I’d bet a blow job and a fuck it’s going to go through,” I told him proudly.

“Okay, well, never heard it quite put that way before, but then you are the most unusual client and partner I’ve ever had, so I guess you’re fairy certain then. That means I have to put something together rather quickly. I suppose you need it tonight so you can have it for tomorrow?” he asked, thinking out loud.

“I guess you might be right unless you want to go with me to the brokers tomorrow and try to draft something there,” I suggested.

“Don’t have time tomorrow. I have a deposition in the afternoon and I need to prepare my client in the morning. Guess it’ll have to be tonight. You might as well come over later this evening. We’ll put our heads together and knock it out,” Jordan suggested.

“Which heads are we putting together? And am I knocking or are you knocking? Who’s on top and who’s on the bottom. I could bring Jake and we could make it a threesome and really do some damage,” I chided.

“Josh, you are impossible. Don’t know if we’ll have time for the funny stuff if we’re going to work on your contingencies, although they are pretty standard. I just need some preliminary information, then I can complete it for you. Come over around 7:30. I’ll be home by then, and Carol won’t be able to corner you this time,” Jordan advised. I had to laugh.

“You going to meet me at the door naked with a glass of wine in your hand for me and a stiff cock?” I asked teasing.

“Joshua, business before pleasure. We have work to do, which you created by the way,” he reminded me.

“Yes, I guess we do. I do miss you though. This last weekend was special in many ways. But, we have the rest of our lives hanging around each other, so I guess we could work for one night, but I’m not promising I can control myself,” I warned him.

“You know, I totally believe you when you say that, knowing you,” he replied. Sounded like wishful thinking to me anyway. “Anyway, I have a client I’m trying to finish up in the conference room, so I’ll see you tonight. Love ya,” he said then hung up. I was surprised with the ‘love ya’, but I did really like it. Made my heart warm.

The boys were already drinking beer by the time I returned. I filled Jake and Thad in on where we stood at the moment with the land. I told Jake we needed to see Jordan tonight to draw up the purchase agreement with the contingency clause we needed to protect ourselves. He was half excited.

Eric asked us about how many bar tenders we needed to hire. Jake and I tried to figure out how many we might need. We both thought we needed to see how the volume panned out at the beginning before we hired too many. Jake, Trevor, Eric and I could fill in as needed, but we really did need some permanent bar tenders. The problem was where to get gay bar tenders. There was nothing that said they had to be gay, but if we expected them in tight underwear tending bar, serving guys that would give their left nut to fuck them, then they should at least be gay friendly. The’ ladies night only’ group could be the same, as they loved gay men to a certain extent, plus they loved hot looking guys in underwear anyway. Eric kind of shook his head, but said we were probably right.

We told Allen and OBB to put that in their ‘positions to hire’ portion of our forthcoming website. We asked them how the design of the website was coming. Allen went and got his laptop. Once he cancelled out several gay porn sites he had opened, he brought up our future website currently under construction. We all had to admit, it was pretty cool. The CNB Logo was there, but didn’t really explicitly say it was a gay establishment. What it did portray in a neat way, was the theme ‘something for everyone’ which we all liked. Then there was a tab for Membership Offers. Allen said he and OBB needed more information to put that section together. I gave him the basic parameters and told him we would agree on pricing as we got closer to opening. He said he and OBB would work on the construction of that section tonight, since we gave him the information on what all a membership would cover and the different forms of membership available.

We spent more time talking about what positions we needed to hire for and how to get the word out, as we ate dinner. Allen said he’d already leaked out some information to social media sites about the opening of the bar/club, and he was already getting some feedback wanting to know if we were hiring. I told him we’d start accepting applications next week and to post the application on our website, that was currently under construction. Allen said he and OBB would finish the website pronto, and get that going. Eric said he’d help them with the application form. We could use the one from the City, which Greer had approved. Things were moving forward.

The boys working on the website, along with Eric and Dustin, Jake and I got minimally dressed in shorts and t’s to go to Jordan’s. There was a car that pulled into the parking lot just as we were getting into the Lincoln. It was Jim of all people. We waited to see what he needed before taking off.

“Hey, guys. Sorry to bother you, but would you have some time to talk?” he asked, then said, “I’m sorry. It looks like you’re busy and need to go somewhere, but I didn’t know who else to talk to about this. It can wait, I guess,” he said sounding extremely depressed.

“Jim, what’s wrong?” I asked. “You can tell us. We’re not in that big a hurry,” I informed him.

“Drey and I kind of had an argument, and he accused me of being a pervert or something. He went out on a date tonight so we didn’t’ get to finish our conversation, but I need some help in how I should talk to him. You guys are the only ones that can help me with that. I don’t know who else to turn to, but I know I’m going to have to talk to him when he gets back tonight, and I’m not sure what to say,” he said sadly.

“Oh, Jim. Things that bad? Was it really bad?” Jake asked him.

“Pretty much. He kept bringing up Sunday night and what he caught Jake and I doing. I told him it was nothing worse than what we had done already, but he wouldn’t accept that. I just told him I liked kissing, and if I could suck another man’s cock, why couldn’t I kiss his lips which was a lot more innocent than sucking cock. He said I had gone over the edge and given up my man card. I told him he was full of it. Then I told him maybe we shouldn’t be doing what we do together then. He said it was just stress relief, but we couldn’t get emotional about it. I told him I kind of thought something that intimate might be considered more emotional and less stress relief, that the stress relief was just a way of rationalizing something more emotional. Am I crazy for saying that to him?” Jim asked almost in tears.

“How did he react to that?” I asked.

“He said that was fucked up, and we needed to talk, but right now he needed to get his rocks off in some pussy and not with me. He told me, I needed to get my head on straight by the time he got back in case he didn’t get his rocks off and we both needed some stress relief. Guys, I don’t want to do anything anymore with him if it’s not meaningful. I can’t help that I think love the guy. Damn, I wish it wasn’t true. I don’t even know why, but there’s some pretty strong emotional feelings there that I need some help with,” Jim confessed, almost in tears.

“Josh, you go meet with Jordan and I’ll take Jim upstairs and talk to him. We’ll help you sort this out. Josh is probably a better mentor at this than I am, but I know what I went through when I knew I was in love with Josh and he had another boyfriend at them time. It’s murder, let me tell you,” Jake told him. I kind of blushed, not ever hearing the total intensity of his torment during that period of time, Jake feeling the need to shield me from it, so as not to hurt me. Hell, it didn’t hurt me at all. If anything, I was flattered by it.

I told Jake I thought that would be great of him to help Jim, as he needed his help tonight. I told him I’d catch them later. Then I kissed Jake, and gave Jim a kiss also, making him smile for a moment anyway. Jake threw me the keys to the Lincoln and I took off, as Jake took Jim upstairs.

Jordan was home when I got there, thankfully, and Carol was nowhere in sight, for which I was grateful. He was fully clothed, although he did have his tie off when I got there.

“Okay, this is just wrong, Jord. Get down to your undies and make it quick,” I ordered.

“Josh, you know what’ll happen if I do that. We won’t get any work done. I need to get this done for you. Plus seeing you makes me horny, and I won’t be able to control myself, so it’s better if we just stay dressed,” he assured me.

I closed the door and pushed him down on the couch, crawling on top of him and kissing him passionately. He couldn’t resist me. I started peeling off his clothes one piece at a time. I had him on his back on the couch as I pulled his shoes and socks off, then undid his belt and pulled off his dress slacks. Then, I groped his big balls and fondled them, getting him good and hard, causing his cock head to peak out of his bikini brief waistband, drooling pre-cum. I worked on his shirt, then undershirt, until I was finally down to bare beautiful skin, all the while shedding my own clothes and locking lips with him for as much of this process as I could. He was panting and aggressively going after me at this point. I had awakened a tiger, it seemed. So much for work.

I finally ripped of his blue bikini briefs, which I gave him grief over later, but for now, I just wanted his cock and balls in my mouth, and to inhale that intoxicating male musk scent. I deep throated him several times, taking his breath away. Then he flipped me around, and went at me in a 69 position. We ate each other’s genitalia for an inordinate amount of time. I fingered his asshole as I ate his cock and sucked on his balls. I ran my tongue down his inner thighs, then inhaled his balls, cock and taint. We went at it so intensely, that we both blew our loads in each other’s mouths in a very short period of time, then kind of drifted off the couch together and onto the floor, where I cuddled him.

“Well so much for having to work,” Jordan sighed. I kissed him again and again. “Gawd, your wonderful, Josh. I actually did miss you these last couple of days. I mean it’s only been a couple of days, but we packed so much intimacy into this last weekend, that I kind of felt lost without you. I thought Jake was coming with you tonight, which might have helped, so all my emotional attention wasn’t focused on you only. Here you are, by yourself again, and my heart is yearning for you. I’m so screwed,” he said as he kissed me again and again.

“Jordan, you’re dearly loved by both Jake and me. But we’ll take you anyway we can get you. You don’t have to just fixate on me alone. Jake loves you also, and he really loves that cute cock of yours in his ass,” I said, grabbing his semi-boned cock and stroking it rather aggressively causing him to jump and spit the last drop of cum from his cock. Damn, and I thought I got all he had to give when I sucked him hard, after he exploded in my mouth. I leaned down and sucked more of his liquid love, and savored it in my mouth.

“Josh, you’re something else. And, damn, I love every inch of you. I have to guard myself against falling deeply in love with you, you know,” he confessed.

“I know, Jord. Jake has that same problem, but we’re working on it,” I chided. He tickled me, causing me to spasm and wriggle out of control.

“Damn, I finally found a weakness. I do have some combative weapon against you finally,” he said trying to do it to me again. I grabbed his balls and squeezed them, telling him to behave. He got the message. Then we laughed together, and I kissed him tenderly this time. “What am I going to do about you?” he asked, propped up on an elbow, staring me in the eyes with those cute beautiful eyes of his. I kissed him tenderly one more time. He sighed.

“Love me, Jord. Just love me. That’s all you can do. But I swear, I’ll always be here for you not matter what,” I said sincerely. He kissed me again.

“Okay, I guess I’ll have to, because there’s no getting around it with you,” he confessed. “So, are we ever going to work on your contingency clause?” he asked, as he started to get up. He pulled me up off the floor after him. I hugged him tightly, once back on our feet, and kissed him multiple times.

“I guess we really should work on that contingency clause. Got some wine?” I asked as I went buck naked into the kitchen. Jordan started to put his underwear on, but I stopped him, and told him we were doing this naked tonight. He needed to become more comfortable with being naked around me more. He said that wasn’t ever a good idea, citing what just happened as testimony to that bad idea, especially since we started out fully clothed. I told him that was all the pent-up stress that needed to be relieved, and now that we relieved the stress, we were fine. He gave me a look of disbelief. I smiled and kissed him on the tip of his nose. “Besides, once we get this clause completed, we’re going to take a shower together, and then one of us is going to fuck the other’s brains out, your choice of who does who,” I offered. He just shook his head in amazement, but seemed good with the idea.

Jordan sat naked at the table and started typing on his laptop, pausing periodically to ask me questions. I brought a copy of the offer I made on the property with me for his to use as reference with the legal names of the parties, so he could complete his more thorough document we wanted to use. I brought him a glass of wine while he was working, which seemed to please him. Then I drug my flaccid cock and balls across his shoulders just to distract him. He sucked on the end of my cock on one pass, which gave me a little thrill. My cute antics were starting to grow on him. He seemed more at ease with our nudity and playfulness, enjoying it more and embarrassed less. At one point I was tenderly kissing the back and side of his neck giving him goosebumps. He warned me I need to stop, as his dick was hard again. I reached down and stroked his boner, noting I had aroused him once again. I offered to suck it off if it would help, but he begged me not to, and to let him alone to finish up the legal purchase agreement. I finally decided to behave so he could finish up, so we could move onto the good stuff. He finally finished it, and sent the document to his wireless printer. I grabbed the two copies he printed, and we both proofread it together. We only made a couple of small changes, then we re-printed the document again. I stood beside him as we reviewed the changes, my dick right beside his face. Somehow, we did make it through the legalese finally. I told him lawyers had to get paid by the word as there was no reason for all this hard to read gobbely-goop. Jordan laughed, and said I was probably right, as complicated as his profession made everything.

“Let me get a manila folder to put these copies in to keep them clean. Make sure there’s no cum on any of them for Heaven’s sake. Wouldn’t want to be embarrassed with that,” he stated. I laughed and told him that would definitely be interesting. He didn’t think it was so funny.

We put his laptop away. I grabbed his hand, and pulled him to the bedroom to shower. I turned on the water and swatted his hot ass when we finally got in. He jumped a little, but loved the attention. I sensuously washed him, soaping up every appendage and crevice on his beautiful body, enjoying the feel of his full, low-hanging balls and his unusually shaped cock, that thrilled my ass to no end. We embraced, and kissed several times, enjoying the closeness of one another, and the feel of our bodies together. We finally finished showering and I sensuously dried him off as he did me. Then we fell into his bed. He looked concerned.

“What?” I asked noting his concern.

“We’re going to make love, and you’re going to make me feel like the most loved person on this planet. Then, you’re going to get up and get dressed, and leave me, making me feel like the loneliest man on the planet. The first part I’m going to enjoy. It’s the second part I’m going to hate,” he said, getting a little melancholy. I kissed him again.

“Let me see if I can fix this,” I told him and grabbed my phone. I called Jake. “How you making out?” I asked, motioning to Jordan to give me a minute. Jordan was anxious to see what I was up to, but was gently stroking my cock as I talked to Jake.

“Jim’s pretty upset, Josh. Would you mind if he spent the night with us?” Jake asked. “I just want to hold him, and make him feel loved. Not that I’m in love with him by any means, but he just heeds to feel cared for and loved at the moment. He’s got some deep seated issues which I’ll explain later,” Jake told me.

“Jake, I think that’s a great idea. I was about to invite you over here to Jordan’s so we could all spend the night here, as our little buddy’s feeling lonely also. I guess I could stay here and make Jordan feel loved, and you could have Jim spend the night there and make him feel loved. Does that work for tonight?” I asked him.

“Excellent, actually,” Jake said, having solved the problems we had with two people we truly cared about. “Only on one condition, though,” Jake added.

“What’s that?” I asked.

“We don’t make this a habit and you fuck the shit out of me just as soon as we get back together,” he added.

“You didn’t even have to ask that, Jake. We’re solid, babe. Nothing can ever tear us apart. I’m so proud of you for caring about Jim. You and I love others like we love each other. That’s beautiful, Jake. I truly love you for that, and then there’s that hot gymnastics body to go with that great heart,” I added, making him laugh. Love you, babe. See you in the morning,” I told him, then hung up after he told me he loved me.

“Problem solved. I’m sleeping with you the entire night, Jord. Ravage me as you will. I’m all yours,” I told him. I’m going to wake up holding you in the morning, not baling on you tonight. You’re going to be sleeping soundly and securely in my arms tonight, sweet lips,” I told him and kissed him.

“You know you and Jake are two beautiful people, Josh. That was beautiful what you told him. Your love for one another is so strong and deep. I could only hope to have a love like that in my lifetime somehow,” he said.

“You will, Jordan. It’ll happen, because you’re a very loving person yourself. It’ll happen, and I’ll be there to witness it,” I promised him.

“In the meantime, I’ve got you all night,” I said, then hugged him tightly and started kissing him all over his body.

I rimmed him something fierce, as was were involved in intense foreplay for at least an hour, until he finally begged me to fuck him. Oddly enough, I think we enjoyed the foreplay as much, if not more, than the actual fucking part. We finally fell asleep in each other’s arms, but woke once through the night, and fucked again, as we enjoyed the closeness of each other so intensely. I hated the sound of his alarm clock, thinking it was an air raid or something, it was so unusual and annoying. Jordan had to crawl over me to shut it off, but gave me a chance to ravage him once more. He was late for work, but hell, it was his last week anyway. I made him breakfast in the nude while he showered and got dressed.

I told him I would have gone out and got his newspaper for him, but I didn’t want to shock the neighbors and especially Carol. He laughed and said he was glad I decided not to get the paper. He said, luckily he didn’t even subscribe to the paper, and laughed.

I grabbed him and kissed him passionately, naked up against my guy in a suit. I straightened his tie, then told him to have a great day at the office, honey. He smiled and shook his head, then swatted my bare ass.

“You joke, Josh, but last night was truly wonderful. I won’t miss you as bad because I have work on my mind at the moment, and that will occupy me all day. If you’d have left last night, I would have had all night long to miss you. Now, I just have wonderful thoughts to make me smile through the day. I do love you, there’s no denying that, but I think I’m good with it all. You and Jake are two of the most loving guys on the planet, and I am so fortunate to be loved by the two of you. I’m comfortable with that right now. I think a lot of it had to do with hearing the two of you talk like you did last night, caring about the friends you really care for. I just hope I’m fortunate to love and be loved by someone like you and Jake. I’m more positive than I’ve ever been that will happen to me, and mainly because you showed me it could, by being my friend and rescuing me from who I was. I love you so much, Josh,” he said, then kissed me passionately one more time. “Okay, sweetheart, I’m off. You have a great day also. Just lock the door when you leave,” he said then gently squeezed my dick and rolled his eyes as if that was something special. “Oh, let me know how you make out with that offer,” he said over his shoulder on this way out the door.

I felt a little lost after he left. This was unusual to spend the night away from Jake when we were both in the same town. I couldn’t wait to shower and get dressed and head home to find out what happened with Jim.

I was feeling rather chipper when I locked Jordan’s door and left. Unfortunately, Carol saw me leave. “Morning Carol. Beautiful day isn’t it?” I said to her, as I passed her. I swear her jaw dropped.

“Morning, Josh,” she said very curiously. “You spend the night with Jordan?” she asked.

“Yeh, we pulled an all nightery, and fell asleep at the computer. But we got what we set out to do. I have it right here, and am ready to do business, thanks to Jordan,” I said enthusiastically, as I waved the manila folder in front of her. Not sure she believed me, but she gave me a half-smile anyway. I kept right on going.

I got all kinds of questions when I got back. Allen was first, as he jumped into my arms, hugged and kissed me. “Everything all right with you and Jake?” he asked concerned.

“Absolutely, why shouldn’t it be?” I asked him, just to dick with him.

“That hot looking paint guy, Jim, I think his name is, he slept with Jake last night and you weren’t here. Just wondering if everything is okay with you two. It would absolutely crush us if it wasn’t,” Allen said all concerned.

“Allen, there is nothing that could ever shake the love between Jake and me. It turned out he was counseling Jim last night for some shitty stuff he’s going through right now, and it was better that Jim didn’t go home last night. I had some legal stuff to do with Jordan, so I crashed at his apartment last night to give Jake some alone time with Jim. Jake and I talked last night, and both agreed that would be best. We formed two teams, and took care of both problems. All is well. But right now, I have to go fuck the hell out of him to prove it. So, if you don’t mind, I’ll see you in a while,” I told him, as I went to find Jake. I could hear Allen telling the others behind me, everything was cool.

I looked for Jake, but I can’t seem to locate him. I asked Trevor if he knew where Jake was, but he said if anyone should know it should be me. I tell him, true, but I can’t seem to find him. I checked with Thad in the office. Thad said Jake ran down to the paint store to check on something. I then assumed, it had something to do with Jim. At that point I believed, there must be some unresolved issues Jake is checking on.

Jake returned a half-hour later and found me in the office. “Everything okay, babe?” I asked.

“Somewhat. Still a little dicey, but we’ll see. I had to go check on Jim at the paint store. Obviously, he didn’t go home last night, and I wanted to make sure Drey didn’t make anything an issue this morning. Everything was calm when I was with them this morning, but it could have been it was because I was there. Jim was going to tell Drey he got lucky with a girl last night which is why he didn’t come home,” Jake explained.

“And did Drey seem okay with Jim sleeping over at some girl’s place?” I asked, curiously.

“I couldn’t tell. Drey seemed cheerful with me this morning, and didn’t seem to be upset with anything with Jim, unless he was waiting for me to leave or something, before he has a discussion with Jim. I just told Jim I’d stop in to see how the temperature was in case Drey was upset with him. So far, everything seems to be pretty normal. I didn’t detect any tension at the time. Jim didn’t signal me about anything, other than to tell me, Drey hadn’t really mentioned anything so far this morning. Jim said maybe the guy got laid last night or something and didn’t even realize Jim didn’t come home,” Jake explained.

“Huum. I guess we still don’t know. So, how did your evening go with Jim? Any revelations there?” I asked, noting Thad was still with us and very interested in what we were talking about. “Thad, this is all confidential. If you want to hear any of this, you have to keep it between the three of us, Thad. Comprende?”

“I got it, Josh. This is intriguing to say the least. I might learn something about myself, if you don’t mind me listening in,” he offered. I gave him an okay nod.

Well, from our discussion last night, Jim is definitely in love with Drey, which is probably not a good thing, but we can help in that area, possibly. I swear he loves every minute he gets to spend with the guy. He knows all his habits, what he likes to eat, what he likes to wear, what he even thinks half the time. I mean who does that with just a bro. He lives for the innocent intimate times they have together, Drey showering while Jim brushes his teeth, washing each other’s backs, working out together, being naked around each other. I mean all that came out last night. He said he wasn’t sure if he was gay or not, but he just loved being around and with Drey, and the more intimate they were together, the more exciting and enjoyable it was. He said he lives to jack off with the guy after working out, which they usually do after they get home from the gym. They only time they don’t, is if they’re with us, and then we seem to fit the bill for them,” Jake explained.

So, Jim doesn’t know if he likes guys or he just fixates on Drey? Is that what I’m detecting from all this?” I asked.

“He does now. He’s definitely on our team after last night. I broke the boy in big time. He’s all in. Shit, he couldn’t get enough and he came like a geyser,” Jake added.

“Oh, shit. Yeh, I’d say he pretty much likes it. I certainly can relate to that,” Thad jumped in. I looked at Thad and smiled.

“He took my dick up his ass at least three times last night. I only came once, but he came every time I fucked him. He couldn’t seem to get enough. Kissing too. Hell, he was really into kissing, rimming and sucking. He and Drey have sucked each other off, as we know. That’s where some of the rub comes in with Drey,” Jake started to explain.

“How’s that?” I asked curiously.

“Jim loves jacking each other off and sucking each other’s cocks, but it’s the same thing each time. Nothing changes. I seem to think, and now, I think Jim agrees, it’s just mechanical with Drey, and that’s all he’s willing to do, release the pressure, so to speak. With Jim, it’s intimacy he shares with someone he deeply cares about. He wants to sleep with him, spoon him, have Drey make love to him, really be like a couple, like you and me, or like Thad and Trent,” Jake explained.

“Oh, we’re not a couple yet like you and Josh, Jake. Not by a long shot. You two unconditionally love one another. I’m still skeptical about a lot of this stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I love snuggling up to Trent at night – better than a Teddy Bear, and I enjoy the sex we have, putting my member in another human being and feeling the intimacy between us. That I do enjoy, but I can’t say that I unconditionally love Trent at this moment. I sense I want to, but I’m just not there yet. The bad thing is, I think he senses that, and I feel a little concerned that I can’t give him my all. You guys know what I mean,” Thad confessed.

“Luckily, I’ve never had to feel like that because of Josh,” Jake said, gratefully. “He’s always made me feel like the absolute most loved person in his life – no holding back with his love at all,” Jake said, leaning over to kiss me.

“Awww, that’s so sweet, Babe,” I told him, kissing him again.

“You see, that’s what I mean. I feel bad because I hold back. I can’t give my all, like I think it was meant to be to truly love someone without hesitation. There’s concern and hesitation on my part, and I feel bad about it, because I seriously think Trent feels that, and it must disappoint him. When we make love together, we’re all in during the act. No holding back on any of that. But afterwards, it’s a little awkward, and it shouldn’t be,” Thad confessed. “But we’re not here to discuss my shortcomings in the relationship department. You two are trying to figure out how to help Jim,” Thad changed the subject.

“True, but thanks for honestly sharing with the two of us, Thad. You know we love you also, and if we can help you in any way, we’re here to help,” I assured him.

“I know that more than anything, Josh. I love both of you and treasure our relationship. I think I love you two more than I love Trent, if the truth were known. I shouldn’t be that way, but I can’t help it right now anyway,” he admitted.

“That could all change, Thad. You just never know,” I suggested. He gave me a half-smile, like he wasn’t so sure.

“Getting back to Jim, we determined that he prefers the male gender for relationships and sex. That we proved last night. I think he’s going to be a patent bottom, but that could change also, given some experience. He loves Drey, but not the way Drey cares about him. Therein lies the problem. Drey doesn’t have a clue that Jim is crushing on him. The little hints that Jim offers up from time to time, Drey just considers standard male bromance stuff, to be considered, guys just being guys, in some sort of pimping playfulness. Oh, they wrestle from time to time also, which Jim absolutely adores, because of the close body contact. He says he gets a boner every time, and Drey makes fun of him for it, but doesn’t even consider it to be a gay thing. Jim says Drey doesn’t usually get hard when they wrestle, but thinks it’s cute that he can get Jim hard, never even considering that he turns Jim on something fierce,” Jake explained.

“Now for the million-dollar question. Can Jim confront Drey, and tell him how he really feels?” I asked.

“I asked that question, Josh. Jim is terribly concerned about letting Drey know his true feelings. For one thing, he fears rejection, even possibly hostility. Secondly, he’d rather have him the way he is, as opposed to losing him altogether, if he told Drew how much he loves him, and that he’s gay,” Jake explained.

“He’s locked himself into his own private hell, Jake. That’s what he’s done. He can’t live like that. He’ll go crazy over time if he isn’t halfway there now,” I said concerned.

“You’re absolutely right,” Jake replied.

“Even I could tell you that,” Thad added. “What does he do then?”

“Well, I suggested he hang out with us more. There are plenty of guys around here that would love a shot at that ass of his. He’d get plenty of attention in the sexual department. Problem is, when Drey’s not dating some girl, the two are virtually inseparable. He’s got to learn to have life outside of Drey, and breaking away is not going to be easy for him. It’s going to require great perseverance on Jim’s part, no doubt about it. We’ll almost have to force it in some way. The problem will be how do we do that,” Jake explained. Jake was right, in that Jim and Drey were inseparable, in a sense. Both worked together, lived together, ate together, worked out together, even jerked each other off and sucked each other off. It was going to be awkward to stop doing all the quasi-intimate things they’d been doing.

“Jake, he’s got to start pulling back with the things he does with Drey. You’re right, it’s going to be very difficult for him because what he has to give up, in order to free himself, are the things he treasures the most, the intimate times with Drey. He’s got to fixate in his mind that Drey doesn’t share the same idea of love and intimacy that he yearns for and so needs. We’re just going to have to bring him over here and fuck him to the point he wants to spend more time with us than he does with Drey. Drey will get the picture soon enough. Then, he’ll have to confront it somehow. Hopefully, by then, Jim can visualize the path to freedom, and we’ll be enough of a support for him to withstand whatever happens,” I theorized. Jake and Thad both agreed.

“I know Drey doesn’t know what he’s missing, but Jim is one hell of a catch,” Jake stated. “He has a ripped, chiseled body, the sweetest nipples, hard pecs, just enough hair to get lost in, the nicest cock to suck, some succulent balls, just a perfect mouthful, and a nice and tight asshole that just loves a cock, I’m telling you,” Jake said, describing Jim naked, and seemingly having enjoyed the hell out of fucking him last night.

“Okay, you’re making me horny now. So, you’re saying last night was not a waste of time?” I asked.

“Other than being with you, babe, it was very hot. Oh, I forgot to say his cum tasted wonderful also. He came hard shooting his loads, not dribbling. He’s going to have to get used to having a cock up his ass though. I mean he took it well, but he came way too soon. I no more than penetrated him, and he came. The boy doesn’t have any staying power, the whole thing is too intense for him so far. But Jim had some power shots. He could really fire a load out of that hot cock of his. Damn, that was some hot sex, to say the least,” Jake exclaimed.

“Okay, now you gave me a boner, Jake,” Thad admitted, rubbing his crotch.

“Gonna have to invite him over for some group sessions,” I told Jake.

“He’d love to have your dick in his ass, Josh. He told me that last night, that he thought we were both perfect, and couldn’t imagine having sex with both of us at the same time. I told him he might blow a nut as powerful as it would be. He said after what happened between us last night, he believed me wholeheartedly,” Jake shared.

“I’ve never done that with both of you before,” Thad said reluctantly. I looked at him.

“Did you want to?” I asked curiously.

“When you put it the way Jim put it, it sounds pretty damn wonderful to me. I know what it was like with you, Josh and Jake individually, but together, wow, that just might be powerful. Trevor told me the two of you used to have sex with him together when you first turned him. He said it was magnificent, and he thought about it all the time. He even told me not too long ago, he and Andy needed to get together with the two of you again and have a foursome, as it had been a long time,” Thad explained. I looked somewhat surprised.

“Gees, Jake, we’ve been neglecting the troops. We might just have to have to put them through a reorientation process to sharpen their skills, since we seem to be so good at it,” I said, pondering.

“Hey, it’s no secret the two of you are damned hot and you certainly know how to make love to another friend. You guys rate 100% for passion, no kidding. Allen, OBB, Erin, Trevor, Andy, they all tell me stories about having sex with you, Josh, and the two of you. Andy told me not too long ago, the biggest mistake he ever made was moving in with Ashton. He said he broke your heart, but luckily Jake swooped in and saved it. Andy still loves you very much, Josh. And he told me he has grown to love Jake also. He did admit the two of you were just the perfect couple and he loved you both. That’s saying a lot coming from an ex-boyfriend, I think anyway,” Thad told me.

“Wow, the things you never know. Huuum. I don’t know, Jake. Looks like we might have to have a partnership orgy again to get reacquainted with all our hot brothers,” I said, thinking about what Thad just told us.

“Well, can I have a private session first, before you share with all the others?” he asked. Jake and I smiled at him.

“Of course, Thad. You know where we sleep and you’re welcome anytime,” I assured him. You might want an earlier session so you can still get home before Trent gets off work from the restaurant. Don’t want to create any waves on the home front,” I suggested.

“No problem. That’s easily taken care of. I’ll work something out,” Thad replied with a big smile. Jake and I both kissed him, then headed back out to work with the others.

Allen saw us coming. “I thought you were going to fuck his brains out, Josh,” Allen said referring to Jake. I laughed.

“Later, Allen. We have too much work to do today. Gotta save the best for last,” I told him, as I winked at him. He gave me a shit-eating grin.

Jake and I walked by Devin and Sandy as they were still up in the metal beams of the roof, attaching rods to hang lights. “Hey, Josh. I suppose you want the lighting console in the DJ’s booth for the dance floor, maybe?” Devin asked.

“I guess that’s where it should go,” I said, not having thought that much about it.

“Where do you want the stage lighting controls to go?” Devin asked the second question.

“Uh, good question. Give me a minute,” I said as I conferred with Jake. “Where should we put those controls, Jake?” I asked him.

“The music will control a lot of the light show on the dance floor according to the specs we looked at before we bought the equipment. I guess we could use the DJ to control the lighting on the stage also, when the dancers are doing their thing, unless you want it in the dressing room, but you almost need to see it head on, instead of from behind. I’d opt for the DJ booth. Why don’t you call Griff or Jason and see where they are in those bars, as that’s probably where we should put them in this one,” Jake suggested.

“Devin, let me get back to you on the stage lighting. I’d say the DJ booth also, but I need to check to see where the controls are located at two of our other bars. When do you need to know?” I asked him.

“You have some time. I have to get all the lights located and mounted and then I can connect them to the control module, but I will need to know where you want that located. I think the specs Todd gave me were for the DJ booth, but I wanted to make sure that’s where you actually wanted them before I installed it there, and you wanted it somewhere else,” Devin replied. I thanked him for that. He gave me his killer smile. Sandy just waved at us.

“Jake, I need to call Griff anyway to see if he’s heard from Stoney. I’ll find out from him where they control the lights for the stage from,” I told him, as I walked back to the office. Jake said he was going to see if he couldn’t step up the progress on the chairs and tables.

Getting back to the office, I called Griff. It was early on the West Coast, but I was sure Griff was up and about at this time. He answered his cell phone. “How’s my favorite mid-western hottie?” he asked. I had to laugh.

“Hey, I’ve been missing you, buddy. How are you and Toby getting along?” I asked.

“Just filled his ass with my first load of the day, draining my balls so I can get with the program. Why do you ask?” Griff replied. I had to laugh.

“Good for both of you, but I really meant how’s business and everything. Glad you shared the fact your sex life is healthy though,” I replied. He laughed.

“Just kidding, but if you were here, we’d certainly have some fun. When are you coming back, by the way?” Griff asked.

“Sometime, but I have to get the CNB2 up and running first. I had a question. Where do you have the controls for the stage lighting located in your club?” I asked.

“We have a separate little control area we have ours located in,” Griff replied. “Some guys put them in the DJ booth, but our DJ booth has it’s back to the stage, so that doesn’t work here. It all depends on where your DJ booth is located. We have a little platform kind of built at the back, in the roof joists of all things, where a guy sits and controls the lighting on the stage. They make systems sophisticated enough now you could control the lighting from your phone if you wanted to, but I’m not sure what kind of equipment you’re using there, Josh,” Griff explained.

“Good question. I’m not sure myself, but I’ll look into it. While I have you on the phone, have you possibly heard from Stoney lately?” I asked Griff, nonchalantly, not trying to concern anyone.

“Nope, sure haven’t. I figured he was deep into the cattle business about now with fall coming and everything. Why, isn’t he there with you guys and Greer?” Griff asked.

“No he took a trip out west somewhere, and didn’t want to be bothered. We get texts from him, but no verbal communications,” I advised him.

“Humm, that’s just like him. When he wants to disappear, he disappears. The good news is he always surfaces. If he’s texting you guys, then that’s more than he usually does when he disappears, so I wouldn’t worry about him. He’ll show up when he gets good and ready. Trust me on that one. Nothing gets by him,” Griff assured me.

“Okay, we’ll quit worrying about him then if that’s what he normally does,” I told Griff. He assured me I shouldn’t worry, but if Stoney showed up there, or called, he’d let me know. I thanked him for that.

“Oh, by the way, Roman wanted to know how your coach was doing, and when you were coming back so the two of you could play,” Griff said, chuckling.

“Good grief. Coach is doing great, and was ecstatic with the treatment he got from Roman while he was there. He said he’d never had a better time. I don’t think he’ll get over that for a long time. Thank Roman again for me and Jake and I will get out there to see all you guys sometime, just don’t know when,” I replied. Griff said it wouldn’t be soon enough. He was anxious to meet Jake also. I told him, he and Toby would really love Jake also. He thought they would also.

Well, I had my answer on the control module for the stage lighting. Our DJ booth would have a direct view of the dance floor and the stage, so the control modules for the lights should go in the DJ booth, it seemed to me. I left the office to find Devin to tell him what I found out. He and Sandy were back on ladders again, bolting lights to the joist bars that supported them.

“Hey, Devin. Since we have a visual of both the dance floor and the stage from the DJ booth, my adviser on the West Coast seems to think we should use the DJ booth for the stage lighting module. Just thought I ought to let you know,” I told him. He started down the ladder. I put my hands on his calves as he neared the bottom to make sure he didn’t miss a rung this time.

“Oh, thanks, Josh. I’m being more careful these days. Don’t want to break a leg being careless, but thanks for your help,” he told me. I actually enjoyed feeling his bare hairy calves, feeling his shapely muscular legs. Again, I got that killer smile.

Devin showed me a sketch of the control module and where the DJ booth was going to be located. It made perfect sense to put the control module for the lighting of the stage in the DJ booth. “There’s four spotlights spec’d for the stage, Josh. They there’s a variety of lights that can change colors to created certain lighting effects you might want to create. You can light it up brightly, or you can make the area red, green, blue, a variety of different colors or combination of all. It’s not a difficult system to operate. I can train anyone you hire to DJ on the operation of the system,” Devin explained.

“Hey, Josh, I’ll do it for you. Might be kind of neat being a DJ in the booth. Let the chics beg me for certain songs,” Sandy exclaimed. If he only knew chics would be far and few between, I thought to myself.

“Ah, you might get bored with that, Sandy, stuck in a booth all night by yourself, when you could be out on the dancefloor dancing,” I told him. He thought about it for a few seconds and thought I might be right.

“Hey, if you need any help bartending, Josh, I did that all through college to help pay my way through. I’m an expert at that, believe me,” Devin advised me. “That would help get me by until your next big project, anyway, and may help you guys out also. I heard Eric say he was going to have to hire some bartenders anyway. Just thought I’d throw my hat in the ring,” Devin said wishfully.

“Not a bad idea, Devin. We could certainly use the help in that department. Eric and I’ll talk to you more about it when we get closer to opening, which will be about the time you’re finishing up with all the electrical stuff we need done. That just might work out well, come to think about it,” I said, somewhat excited about the idea.

“Hey, if you hire Devin, Josh, you’ll need to find something for me to do also. I can do about anything you need done, even DJ if you need that, even though I’ll be isolated in a booth. At least I’ll have breaks, and get to meet the chics then,” Sandy asserted. I had to laugh.

“If Devin is going to bartend, then we’ll have something for you to do also, Sandy, that is if you still want to work for us then,” I said, wondering if he or Devin would have anything to do with us, once they found out we were operating a gay bar.

“Oh, I’d love to work for you guys. You guys are a ton of fun. Just love being around all you guys now. It’ll be even more fun when this place is packed full of customers. Damn, bring on the chickie poos,” Sandy said excitedly. I had to laugh, but Devin rolled his eyes. I had to think he might work out fairly well with the ‘ladies’ night’. As flirtatious as he could be at times, he might just be a hit. I was sure he’d like strutting his stuff for the ladies. The question was, could he do the same for the guys? I thought that might depend on if he needed the money or not. Time would tell, I supposed.

“I think I have some ideas where you could fit in also, Sandy. Let me work on a couple of things. The rest of my guys really seem to like you, so we could possibly use you in a couple of areas,” I replied. He got all excited.

“Did you hear that, Dev? Could possibly use a man of my talents. If you got it, flaunt it,” he said prancing around excitedly, thrusting his hips as if he was fucking air. Devin and I laughed.

Just then my phone rang. It was Bill Atchison. “Tell me you have some good news,” I told him when I answered.

“Don’t get your cock hard just yet, but I think we’re close. I just wanted to make sure you were going to be around this afternoon. I want to wrap this up before 5:00 when your offer expires. I’ve been on the phone with the seller a couple of times this morning and faxed him some comps. He’s not there yet, but I think I’m going to get him there. The other properties I sent him were level ground, undeveloped, but at least level. I told him it would take almost a half-million to develop his property just to be able to use part of It, unless he wanted to turn it into a nature trail and park. Even then it takes a bundle just to be able to clear the land. He bitched and moaned about it, but said I was probably right. He inherited the property to begin with, I found out, so he can afford to make a half-million off of it, Josh. Good grief, anyway, the greedy bastard. I reminded him of the taxes he was paying on a yearly basis. That got his attention also. He said he was always counting on the university expanding and taking that property for additional dormitories and classrooms. I told him there was no way one could afford to build buildings of those types on that piece of land, so the university would never consider it, or they would have done it by now. Do you believe that?” Bill asked, complaining about the seller.

“Hey some people just have grandiose ideas, Bill. I hope you told him if he wanted to enjoy the proceeds from it in his lifetime, he’d better sell it now, or be willing to will it to his offspring at some point in time,” I replied.

“Maybe his grandchildren if he’s lucky,” Bill remarked. I chuckled. “Anyway, just wanted to make sure you were around when I get the call. I’ll call him by 4:00 if I don’t hear from him. I’m not going to let this slip through our fingers this time.”

“Sounds good, Bill. Just let me know. I have conditional sales agreement language, from my attorney already prepared, which I’ll submit if your guy comes to his senses. I guess we’ll see how serious he is about selling,” I replied.

“Alright. I just might get to taste the Heavenly cock of yours yet,” Bill said excitedly.

“I hope that wasn’t your only motivation for getting this deal done, Bill,” I exclaimed.

“No, Josh, although it is one hell of a major motivation. I’m not sure what all you’re into with your empire building, but I understand enough to know I sure as hell want to be a part of it down the road. I see great things coming from you, as young as you are. Can’t miss an opportunity like this. And, hey, if there’s a little cocksucking or butt fucking along the way, well, that’s just icing on the cake,” Bill said, still excited. I had to laugh.

“Can’t leave out the benefits, Bill. I totally understand that.”
 
Another fantastic chapter FT...

I knew Jim had made the comment that he was curious and open to trying other things so I'm happy that he was able to experiment with Jake. Jake would treat him with care proving that he can be trusted to let him go at his own pace of what he feels comfortable doing. Then across town we have Josh and Jordan who were handeling business but the moment that was finished poor Jordan gets ravaged but he's down for sharing his love with Josh. It broke my heart when Jordan admitted to Josh how when they are together he's fine but the moment he dresses and leaves he gets lonely. Josh seems to have these great matchmaking skills I bet he could find Jordan a great guy but only when he is ready to put himself out there.

I loved hearing Thad provide some imput on the Jim/Drey situation especially now that he can fully understand and see it from both sides. I personally like Thad and would like to see him with somebody else other than Trent not because I don't like him. I just feel like in the end I don't think Trent will be willing to wait on Thad to decide on his feelings.

Mr Bill Atchison, I still can't figure him out. He seems to be a smooth talker in trying to convince Josh he really wants to do all those things with him. I hope like Chaz has said that Mr. Atchison isn't ready to stoop down to the level of an opportunist for getting this property sold and using Josh to get his foot in on any future projects to come.
 
Great chapter, FT. Good to see that Jordan is trying to keep his love for Josh in check. It meant a lot to him for Josh to spend the night. I see Jordan's point There is intense physical love between then and then Josh is gone, leaving a void in Jorday's life. Still he knows Josh and Jake are there for him, but like Xander says, Jordan needs someone of his own. Like Xander said, Josh is one of the best matchmakers around. He introduced Greer to Stoney and look what happened there. He also got Ken and James together to name a few.

Like Xander, I thought it was interesting getting Thad's input on Jim's situation and his wish to have a private session with Josh and Jake. And, by the way, I'm all for a partnership orgy, that Josh thought might be necessary to keep the troops happy. Sounds like a hot idea to me. Wish I was there with them.

It's going to be interesting to hear about Jim's plight in dealing with his relationship with Drey, now that Jake helped him determine that he's, for all practical purposes, gay. That should be interesting.

More bantering with Sandy and Devin. These guys are all going to end up friends somehow, I can just feel it. Not sure how the dynamics are going to play out. We know Sandy is a ladies' man. We don't know anything about Devin's sexual preferences yet. The two do live together, but supposedly, Sandy rents a room from Devin. May be some additional benefits in there somewhere. I guess we'll find out when you're ready to tell us. I'm sure they're going to be working for the CNB2 after the construction is done, one way or another. Sandy might even end up being a dancer of all things. He could reasonably be another Francis, when you think about it.

Then there's Bill. Poor Bill can't seem to bring the deal home and get what he wants from Josh. He's trying, but can't seal the deal yet. Even if he can get this deal done, where does that leave the relationship between him and Josh? Don't know where Josh is going with that one yet.

So much to consider, but so much more to learn about all these characters. Obviously, we need more chapters to help sort all this out, FT. Since you are so far ahead again, you can drop a few more on us rather quickly for us to digest. The more the better, actually. Lay it on us, bud. Again, thanks so much for this great story. BC
 
Totally agree with Xander and BC. Josh and Jake are such a Fantastic team. Solid in their relationship with each other to the point of all the Trust it takes to go separate ways in order to help others. That is something that is So Rare, and to be Cherished to no end. Awesome!

I'll be gone next week, too. I'm sure I'm going to be experiencing "Josh withdrawal" before I get back. This story is therapeutic, and then some, for all of us!

THANK YOU, So Much, FT! (*8*) :kiss:
Chaz :luv:
 
Hey, guys. Thanks for the great comments. Will drop another chapter tonight and one on Monday night to keep you going for the next week. Everyone have a great holiday next week with loved ones. FT
 
Chapter 252 – Beer With Sandy and Devin

I spent most of the afternoon helping the guys assemble the chairs and tables, while waiting to hear from Bill if my offer to buy the land had been accepted. The furniture we had ordered had been more labor intensive to put together than we realized. Still, we were plugging away at it. Trevor was teasing Sandy considerably during that time. Allen and OBB got in on the act also. Sandy seemed to be having such a great time with the whole crew as he and Devin worked around us. Other than the fact, he seemed extremely straight in his gender preference, he seemed to fit in great personality wise with the rest of the guys. He was right at home, teasing and carrying on. He even had me laughing at his crazy antics. I was beginning to think Trevor had met his match, as crazy as Trevor was.

Around 4:00 I got a call from Bill. “Okay, Josh. I got a counter offer from the seller. Don’t get your cock hard just yet, but he came back at $525,000, which is great,” Bill said.

“Fuck that shit, Bill. It’s not great. He’s $25K too high. I’m done. It’s over. He’s pissed me off now. Tell him good luck ever selling that piece of shit property,” I said, pissed off.

“Josh, listen to me. We have him where we want him. He countered at $525K. You counter back with $500K which is right in the middle of what you offered and he countered. We’re there, buddy. We got this thing,” Bill said excitedly. “That’s negotiations 101, bro. We have this. Now you can get that beautiful cock of yours hard, and let me suck your balls dry,” Bill said excitedly.

“I hope to hell you’re right, Bill. But you know what? Let’s let him sweat. We’re not going to go back to him until after 5:00. Let him sweat a little. Hell, we might even wait until tomorrow. Call him back and tell him I’m pissed, but you’re trying to save this deal. Make him sweat,” I said, with an air of anger.

“Josh, don’t be angry. I half expected him to go to $500K, and we’d have this deal done. The jerk couldn’t help himself, but I think you have a great idea in letting him sweat. In fact, I’m not even going to call him back. I’ll wait for him to call me and ask what happened. Then, I’ll tell him you laughed and moved on. He’ll beg me to call you then, and see if we can resurrect this deal. You wait. It’ll happen,” Bill said, still confident he could pull this off.

“Play it however you want, Bill, but if we don’t get it for $500K, I will move on. Do what you want to do, but I’m serious at this point. I’ll wait to hear from you, and I’ll give you through tomorrow if you really want to put the pressure on him. Don’t tell him that. Make him sweat it out tonight if you need to,” I said, still somewhat pissed.

“Josh, it’s going to happen. Hang in there. I’ll be back to you, maybe later tonight, but if I need to, I’ll let this thing drag overnight and let him sweat,” he replied.

I went to find Jake and tell him what I found out from Bill. “What’s wrong, babe?” he asked, noticing I was somewhat disturbed.

“Bill. The seller came back with $525K instead of $500K, Jake. Just pissed me off, that’s all,” I told him. He grabbed me and hugged me, running his hand up and down my back to comfort me.

“Josh, you’re there in my mind,” Jake said, reassuring me. I looked him in the eyes.

“I think we are, but I just wanted it to be done,” I replied, still hugging him tightly.

“Hey, let Bill do his job and get you there. You have the edge on this whole thing. Just give it some time for all the pieces to fall into place and work. Don’t fret. Besides, even if you had to go to $525K, it’s not the end of the world, and for the price of this project, what’s $25,000 anyway?” Jake asked. I looked him in the eyes and smiled at him, then kissed him.

“You always make me feel great, Jake. Damn, I love you,” I told him, then hugged him tightly again. I loved the feel of his strong arms around me. He made me feel so safe and secure. He kissed me on the forehead.

“That’s my job, Josh. I have to make you feel loved like you do me. We’re a team, babe. Speaking of team, the boys want to invite Devin and Sandy to join us for beers tonight if that’s okay with you. They’ve been having fun with him all day and thought it might be fun to invite him and Devin for a beer after work,” Jake mentioned.

“Hell, I don’t care, but the boys have to be their unusual straight selves on good behavior if we do,” I reminded him.

“They’ve had so much fun with Sandy this afternoon, I don’t think he’d care if he knew we were all gay. I just get that feeling about him. The guys know they have to be straight college boys tonight. I’m sure it’ll be fine. Devin and Sandy are going to know sooner or later anyway, but this will be kind of a test to see if we really have a friendship once the truth is known, or not,” Jake suggested. I told him he was right. “Besides, they’re going to see if Sandy will be crazy enough to show us his big dick, while we sit around in our underwear drinking beer. They were taking bets to see if Trevor could tease him into it. Trevor told them he could. Could be interesting, to say the least,” Jake chided.

“You’ve got to be kidding. I wonder if Devin will stop him, if he tries,” I replied.

“Devin, more or less, seems to let Sandy hang himself with his own antics. He just lets him go unless he thinks he’s getting out of line, then he just barks at him. Drinking beer with bros, he’ll probably just laugh if he does something crazy,” Jake suggested.

Jake was probably right, and it could be an amusing time, but I was still fixated on my land purchase and how I had envisioned it in my mind to be a done deal at this point. Jake was right. Good things take time, and I was being a little impatient. I had to learn to be a little more patient. I guess that’s why Jake and I complimented each other. He had a way of settling me down and making things right, knocking my mountains down to molehills.

Thad asked me if I heard anything from the broker. I told him, yes, but it wasn’t what I wanted to hear and we were doing a little game playing at the moment. Thad smiled, and said I always had a way. I just smiled, but was still uneasy about the situation.

I decided to call Zach to check in on Gramps. I needed to talk to someone else that always made me happy. “Hey, Josh, what’s up?” he asked as he answered the phone.

“Just checking in to see if you gave my Gramps another hardon, you sassy flirt. You know that could be dangerous at his age,” I reminded him.

“No, I’ve behaved myself. I just got back in from feeding. Gramps said he wanted to play checkers later after supper, but those games don’t usually get too intimate,” Zach assured me. “You have a good day?” he asked.

“Started off that way. Still trying to get that piece of land for the dormitory, but still having some problems with the seller. It kind of pissed me off, but Jake and the broker assure me we’re gong to get it done. All I have to do is be patient. So, we hope to maybe have it wrapped up by tomorrow. The bar is looking great. We have two cute guys working on the lighting for the dance floor and the stage right now. There are a few touchups to be completed, then we have to go through the inspections and get our Certificate of Occupancy, then we’re good to go. We start interviewing staff next week, if you can believe that. It’s coming together, Zach. We’re almost there, and you’re almost here,” I reminded him. He laughed.

“Can’t wait to get to be with you and Jake. Still, I’ll miss your family. I just hope your dad will keep the entertainment value going with Gramps after I go to school. I don’t want him to be lonely with you and me both gone,” Zach said concerned.

“I know what you mean. I just wish all his friends hadn’t passed away. It’s got to be lonely to be the only one of your friends left in this world. But you’ve been an inspiration to him, Zach. He loves the interaction with you every day. I just hope that doesn’t depress him once you come to school,” I said, concerned. Zach said he was worried about that also. I told him I loved him, and to keep up the great work he was doing with Gramps.

Talking to Zak boosted my spirits, and I felt much better. Thad hugged me also, and told me to relax, as everything was well under control. “Hey, did Ken ever show up this morning to work on integrating the Tight Jock into the financial reporting system?” I asked Thad, not having seen Ken.

“Oh, I forgot to tell you, he called before you got back this morning. He said he had a thing at the university this morning and had to postpone until tomorrow. He said the head of the accounting department called an emergency meeting of the accounting TA’s, and it was mandatory he be there. He promised he’d be here tomorrow, and could still get it all taken care of,” Thad replied. “Sorry, I forgot to tell you.”

“No worries. I just happened to think I hadn’t seen him, and remembered he was going to work on the integration this morning. Tomorrow’s fine,” I told Thad.

Although I wanted to stop thinking about it, I called Jordan to tell him where we were with negotiations. He assured me he thought we were in a good spot. He reminded me that negotiations were time, power and information. I had to give it a little time. He reminded me I had time, so we were good. I told him I was going to fuck him extra hard the next time. He said he could only hope. We laughed. “Josh, last night was very special. It felt great waking up to you this morning and making love. Wow, I’ve been excited all day. One of the partners said I must have got laid last night, as chipper as I was today. Can you imagine that? If he only knew how,” he said laughing. “Anyway, just wanted you to know how special it was, and how special you are. You made me feel wonderful again. I can’t love you enough for that,” Jordan wanted to tell me. I told him I only loved special people. He appreciated that. I also told him, I’d let him know just as soon as we got a deal on the land. He appreciated that, and told me he’d miss me until he got to see me again. I told him I’d miss him also.

I could hear the boys making their way up to the apartment after work. Thad and I made our way up to join them. Devin and Sandy were putting away their tools and taking off their tool belts, preparing to join us. Thad and I waited for them to join us before going upstairs.

“You guys thirsty?” I asked.

“Always for good beer,” Devin replied. Sandy said the same. “You sure you don’t mind us joining you?”

“We’re delighted to have you join us. Todd and Chad have a beer with us occasionally when they can. It’s a good way to welcome you to the team. The guys all think you’re great, so having a beer together, once in a while, is fun and relaxing,” I assured him. They said they were both grateful for the invitation. I warned them, the guys were a little crazy and they might take some ribbing. Sandy said he was good at giving it back if it happened. As much as a character as he was, I could only imagine.

We got in the apartment and the beer was out. The boys were all in their underwear as usual. “Get comfortable guys. We hang out in our undies and relax drinking beer. Just us guys, so who gives a shit. We like to be comfortable,” Trevor told our two newcomers.

“Damn, didn’t know you guys got naked to drink beer,” Sandy exclaimed, as he started whipping off his shorts and wife-beater shirt. “I’m cool with this. C’mon, Dev, get with the program,” Sandy urged.

“I’m fine the way I am,” Devin replied. Sandy just shook his head at him.

“What’s with all the tighty briefs, guys. Real men wear boxers,” he said as he showed off his red plaid boxers that were way loose at the legs, as he jettisoned his shorts. No outline of cock showed on him, disappointing the troops.

“We all wear boxer briefs for some reason. Most of us always have,” Trevor replied. “I guess we like showing off our package to the right people,” he said smiling.

“Don’t see any chics here enjoying the scenery, Trevor,” Sandy replied.

“Not here, Sandy. Elsewhere,” Trevor responded. “This is strictly a man cave for us guys.”

“I got it. And, a very nice one also. These are some impressive digs,” Sandy stated looking around. Allen handed him a beer and sat beside him on a kitchen island bar stool. Meanwhile, Devin took a seat between Jake and me.

“Got some nice fur, I see on your belly there, Trevor. Bet the ladies like that,” Sandy said, looking over Trevor’s wide treasure trail.

“Yeh, I’m kind of hairy down there almost everywhere. Josh gives me some shit about it, but I think it’s manly myself,” Trevor replied.

“Hell, I have a hard time growing hair anywhere other than my head, my pubes and my ass crack,” Sandy told him. We all laughed. “You laugh, but look at my balls. I mean these are as smooth as a baby’s ass,” Sandy said, as he hiked up his boxer leg and let this large bag of balls out on his leg. It was perfectly smooth without a trace of a hair on it. “Feel that ball sack, Allen. Tell them how smooth it is,” Sandy told Allen. Although somewhat shocked, Allen did as Sandy asked, and ran his fingers over Sandy’s low hangers laying on his leg to feel how smooth they were. Trevor was sitting on the other side of Sandy.

“Damn, things are totally smooth. Feel those suckers, Trev,” Allen told him. “See if they aren’t perfectly smooth to you,” Allen suggested. Trevor ran his fingers over Sandy’s big smooth balls, taking advantage of the situation and moving his large balls around with his fingers.

“Damn, if that ain’t a big sack of nuts, Sandy, and perfectly smooth too. Mine are kind of hairy, even if I shave them, then there’s stubble in a couple of days. Almost have to shave my nuts as much as my face,” Trevor commented. Sandy laughed.

“Never had to shave these nuts,” Sandy said still running his fingers over his large sack of nuts, rolling them around in his fingers, then laying them back on one of his legs. OBB came over and felt them also before Sandy put them away. He seemed impressed at the smoothness of them. Sandy was not embarrassed at all about our guys feeling his nuts. He seemed rather proud to show them off. “Yep, just a small amount of pubes, a little in my pits and a few hairs in my ass crack, at least that’s what Dev tells me,” Sandy said chuckling. “Can’t say I ever saw those.”

“Hey, what the hell. Leave me out of this conversation, if you would please,” Devin warned, shaking his head.

“Well, that’s what he tells me when I bend over in the bathroom to turn on the faucet for the shower and kind of moon him when I do,” Sandy said chiding Devin. “Kind of sucks when you have to share a bathroom and you both need to get showered at the same time,” Sandy added.

“Wow, you guys shower together also, huh?” Trever asked, obviously teasing. Sandy looked a little embarrassed.

“Only when we’re in a hurry and then usually one or the other brushes his teeth and pisses while the other showers, but every so often, if we’re in a hurry, we’re like brothers getting ready for school. I’m not proud of it, but what’re going to do. It’s all harmless, and who get’s their dicks in a wad over that these days,” Sandy replied.

“Hell, we have a group shower after beer every night almost. You should see our shower though,” Allen told him.

“You guys all shower together?” Sandy asked curiously, giving us an odd look.

“Hey, it’s a great time, Sandy. You’ve got to see our shower. It’s like going through a car wash or having fun at a water park together,” Allen said proudly. “Come, I’ll show you,” he said, getting up off his stool and pulling Sandy through the bathroom to the shower room. Sandy came back all excited.

“Fuck, Dev. You’ve got to see their shower. That’s the coolest fucking shower I’ve ever seen. Fuck the whole gang can get in there at one time. That would be cool as fuck to shower in. No wonder you guys shower together, as much water flows through that room at one time,” Sandy said all excited. Devin looked at me rather funny. I told him to follow me and I’d show him.

“Damn, that is a hellacious shower, Josh. Hell, that would be neat washing down the whole crew at one time. Sure beats the old tub shower we have at my aunt’s house. Plenty of room in that one,” Devin commented, totally impressed. We made our way back to the living room where Devin told Sandy he was impressed.

“Can we shower with you guys sometime?” Sandy asked. “I think that’d be so awesome as cool as that shower is. Gotta watch dropping the soap though. Wouldn’t want my big rod to find a hole it wasn’t meant to attack,” he said chiding.

“Why, you got something hanging down there that might be dangerous?” Trevor asked, hoping he might get him to actually show us.

“Bud, my appendage is a legend with the ladies. It’s not only dangerous, it’s lethal. I’m telling you, my friend down here, is one of a kind, and a lady killer at that,” he said rubbing his cock through his boxers.

“Couldn’t tell it by those bulky boxers, Sandy,” Trevor said, almost calling his bluff. Sandy dropped his waistband and whipped out the monster cock we’d all been waiting to see. It was a good 6” flaccid and thick. On top of that it was uncut with a large amount of foreskin hanging from the head.

“Damn, what’s that hanging on the end of that thing?” Allen asked concerned. “Looks like some kind of growth,” Allen added. Sandy gave him a totally strange look.

“It’s foreskin, dumbass. Haven’t you ever seen an uncircumcised cock before?” Sandy asked concerned.

“Can’t say that I have. At least not one that looked like that. How do you fuck with that flap hanging over the head of your dick?” Allen asked, still concerned. Sandy shook his head at him.

“Really, Sandy. Must we be sharing our cock with all our new friends?” Devin asked, somewhat embarrassed over his employee exposing his penis to all of us.

“Devin, we need to set these guys straight. An uncut cock is natural and beautiful. Chicks dig it. Look, you can even stretch out the foreskin a couple of inches. It’s like a piece of elastic.

“Okay, that’s just a little creepy. Doesn’t that hurt?” Allen asked him looking at it closely.

“No, it doesn’t hurtl, Allen. Like I said, it’s natural. Unlike you guys that got this all ripped off of you when you were babies. Mine’s intact, like God intended it to be,” he boasted somewhat, still pulling on his foreskin and stretching out his whole large cock.

“How do you piss and fuck with the cap on that dong?” Trevor asked, staring at his uncircumcised cock rather closely, enamored by its size, for one thing, and at its unfamiliar foreskin.

“Easy, guys. Come on. You guys should have taken anatomy in school. The head of your cock comes out of its shell and does its thing. Look, I can pull down the foreskin and expose the glans of my penis, exposing the head. Then it looks kind of like yours, only mine is probably a little more pointed because it has protection around my head, unlike your exposed heads,” he said demonstrating how the glans of his penis appeared then disappeared into the foreskin of his uncut penis. “See how this works, Allen?” Sandy asked, as he moved the head of his penis in and out of his foreskin. Allen, Trevor, Dustin, Andy, were all looking at it very closely, not having been familiar with uncut penises too often, but acting like they were totally intrigued.

“There was a kid on the dive team that had a dick like that. He said he wished his was like all the rest of us,” Allen made mention.

“That’s bull shit. You guys probably embarrassed him. This is the way nature intended it to be before some wiseass back in the 1950’s decided all boy babies should have their cocks butchered. Studies show that cocks like mine can be just as satisfying with foreskin as without it. We do have to be careful to clean inside well or we get a substance build up called smegma, and it kind of stinks and can lead to infection if you’re not careful. I always make sure to clean it good, especially after sex when you get cum backed up into your plumbing there. You guys do have an advantage over me in that situation,” Sandy explained.

“Smegma? Oooo, that just sounds nasty,” Allen commented.

“Worse than that, it can hurt too. No, you have to clean good there,” Sandy assured us.

“What do you clean it with?” Allen asked. “You have some kind of toothbrush type thing you clean the inside of your foreskin with?” he asked curiously, still looking closely at Sandy’s cock as he was still moving his foreskin up and down, exposing, then hiding the head again inside his foreskin.

“No, you don’t use a brush. You just have to kind of roll it back, like this,” Sandy said, rolling back his foreskin as Allen, OBB and Trevor looked closely. You can put your whole finger inside and move it around if you want,” he said, as he demonstrated, stretching his foreskin with his index finger moving around the head of his penis inside his foreskin. I thought Allen and OBB were going to be grossed out.

“Oh, that’s just wrong,” Allen said, somewhat freaked out. Sandy laughed.

“You guys don’t know what good is. You’ll never know now that your dicks were butchered at birth. Got those damn stubby mushroom heads like Devin over there,” Sandy remarked.

“Seriously, Sandy. Can you leave my dick out of this?” Devin urged. “They’re going to think we’re some kind of perverts the way you talk about our hygiene habits living together,” Devin added, somewhat chiding.

“Well, we kind of are in a way, but in a cool way. We have fun, and it’s all harmless, I guess you could say. No one’s been traumatized, so that’s a good thing,” Sandy told us, smiling. Devin shook his head nervously.

“You guys ever try docking?” Sandy asked, still playing with his foreskin, his big balls still on display, hanging down over his boxer waistband. I couldn’t believe the attention we were all giving his uncut penis. He was on a roll, and we all found this to be quite interesting. Just guys being guys, as far as we were concerned.

“What the fuck is that?” Trevor asked.

“OMG, Sandy. You’re not. Please don’t,” Devin urged.

“Relax, Dev. It’s all harmless. Whip out your cock, Trevor and I’ll show you,” Sandy told him.

“Seriously?” Trevor asked, but then reluctantly pulled out his penis from his briefs.

“Damn you do have a lot of hair on your dick, boy. Shit it’s like your pubes start at your belly button and go all the way down to your balls and through your ass. I think you’re still part ape there, Trevor,” Sandy exclaimed causing us all to laugh. “Shit, now hold the end of your stubby penis there straight, while I demonstrate this neat trick,” Sandy advised. Trevor held his flaccid penis just below the head. “Now we’re going to dock the two, making one big cock between us, if you can imagine that,” he remarked.

“I think the big cock is on your side and diminishes rapidly on my side,” Trevor chided. Sandy laughed.

“Whatever, Trevor. Now hold still. We’re going to dock these two magnificent cocks,” he said as he pushed the head of his penis up against the head of Trevor’s penis, then watched as Sandy stretched his foreskin over the head of Trevor’s cock, making it look like one big cock between them. We all cheered and clapped. Sandy was so proud of himself.

“Fuck, that’s amazing. I think your dick head just kissed mine, though,” Trevor exclaimed, chuckling. Sandy laughed and told him to be still and not gross him out. Once docked, Trevor took advantage of the situation and kind of jacked Sandy’s cock between Sandy and him.

“Whoop, careful there, you’ll get me excited and then this will really get interesting,” Sandy warned, and then stepped back pulling Trevor’s cock head out of his foreskin, with a little bit of sound as if you pulled a cork out of a bottle. We all kind of laughed at that. “Well, you get the idea how this works. I guess the gay guys can cum head to head inside the connected foreskin for a thrill of some sort,” Sandy said chuckling. “Never tried that one before. Don’t think I’ll ever get a chance to either,” he said, as his big penis dropped down below his low hanging balls. “Time to put my big toy away, I guess. Hope I didn’t gross anyone out. Just a little anatomy lession, I guess you could call it, since you guys have never seen a natural cock before. Devin had to get used to it also, but it doesn’t bother him anymore,” Sandy commented.

“Could you please leave me out of this, Sandy,” Devin pleaded one more time. I slapped Devin on his leg and smiled at him. Devin just shook his head. “Sometimes living together can be a little trying,” Devin told me.

“Hey, it’s all fun. Try living together with all of us and showering together. Now that can get interesting also, especially with Trevor and Allen. They’re the characters for sure. They fit right in with Sandy. No doubt about it,” I assured him. Devin just shook his head.

“Sandy, what does getting head feel like with that big flap of skin hanging over your cock head?” Allen asked.

“Allen, when your cock is hard, you don’t have that foreskin in your way. The head of your dick is a good inch above the lip of your foreskin so your glans are exposed. When the chic gives you head, it can go up and down and actually gives you pleasure in a sense, it kind of jacks off the head of your penis. Gees, guys, your parents should be shot for butchering you like they did,” Sandy exclaimed shaking his head. “Hell. the chic giving you head can actually stick her tongue in between your foreskin and glans, making it even more interesting. You guys can never feel that sensation. I’ve got one up on you, on that one,” Sand said proudly.

“Hey, you guys ready take a shower about now?” Sandy asked finishing his second beer.

“Hell, yes. Wanna join us for an exciting sensation?” Trevor asked.

“Shit, yes. Let’s try that bitch of a shower out and blast the dirt off us,” Sandy said excitedly. “You okay with that, Dev? I mean it shouldn’t take long if you don’t mind waiting for me or you can join us also. I’m sure the guys won’t mind. Hell, Josh and Jake probably shower at the same time,” Sandy asked.

“I’ll wait on you, Sandy. Thanks for the invitation anyway,” Devin replied. Sandy looked at Jake and me.

“We usually go later, sometimes in the mornings. It varies, but go and have fun. Just be careful bending over in there,” I warned.

“You have some guys that like to put dicks in places they shouldn’t be?” Sandy chided.

“That, and the jets may blow those big hairless balls of yours right off your body. So, beware,” I said chucking. Sandy laughed, but was excited to get going. I swear his boxers were off before he got to the bathroom. We heard a lot of whooping and hollering in the shower room, so someone was having some fun.

“I swear he’s such a character, guys,” Devin said to Jake and me, listening to their antics in the shower room.

“No more than our guys are, Devin,” I assured him.

“I will say he really enjoys you guys. I haven’t seen him have this much fun in a long time. He loves working here with you guys, and the way you tease each other constantly. He really gets into that. He does that to me all the time, but I ignore him half the time. Your guys eat it all up, and that just fuels the fire. He’s one that needs attention, and is somewhat depressed when he doesn’t get it. I think that’s the problem he has with relationships with women. It seems like the only satisfaction he gets out of a relationship with a woman is sex. If she isn’t constantly giving him the attention he thinks he needs, he’s tired of her rather quickly. I haven’t seen a woman yet that could give him what he thinks he needs other than sex, which, from all accounts, mainly from him, he’s pretty good at. I’ve talked to a couple of his ex-girlfriends that have told me he’s crazy hot in bed, but a bore to be around afterwards. Shit, he ought to be a gigolo and get paid for using that big cock of his. His relationships could be with his male friends who he seems to enjoy. You could see how excited he was tonight showing off his big cock of all things. Good grief, I can’t believe he did that. What a way to meet and get to know new friends,” Devin said, shaking his head. “Don’t know what I’m going to do with him.”

“That’s funny, Devin. He’s such a character and so loveable. The guys just really think he’s great and enjoy being around him. He’s found some friends here, and they’re just as crude as he is, so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. They’re all made from the same mold in some respects,” Jake chimed in. “Where did you two meet anyway?” Jake asked.

“Huh, good question. I had just come back to town and opened up my business, not having any helpers at the time. I was working by myself at a larger project as a sub on a small part of a job. I was having problems keeping up with just myself. Sandy was working for a larger contractor just as a helper. He and that foreman didn’t get along that well. I think they were vying for who had the larger dick. As you can see, that probably wasn’t too hard to determine, after being introduced to Sandy’s large appendage,” Devin said, chuckling. “Anyway, I was having a few problems with the job trying to do it all on my own. I really needed another pair of hands. Sandy felt sorry for me and would sneak over and help me out when he could see I needed help. Anyway, his foreman caught him a couple of times, and eventually fired his ass. I felt sorry for him and asked him if I could hire him as a member of my crew. He up and hugged me right then and there, thanking me profusely. We became close friends almost overnight. Turns out I offered him more money than he was making with the other crew he was on that he hated,” Devin explained.

“Love at first sight. Can’t beat that, Devin?” Jake chided.

“Well, I wouldn’t call it that, but I tolerated him, then he grew on me. I told him I needed to rent out a room in my aunt’s house to help with the expenses in the business in order to pay him, since I was just getting started. He asked me if he could rent the room, as he wanted out of his mother’s apartment, because he couldn’t bring girls home for sex at her house, and it was cramping his style. I told him I didn’t want all night parties at my house either, but he said he’d be discreet about it, and keep all that out of sight if he could. He said there might be an occasional flash of bare titties in the morning if he couldn’t get rid of them after sex, but other than that, he would keep any all-nighters to a minimum. He’s damn good at that too. All his women are usually gone before I wake up in the morning. I swear he kicks them out after he cums. Like I said, he’s not one for relationships. We get along great though. Couldn’t ask for a better friend and roommate really. I sometimes hear some moaning and groaning from the ladies. Hell, who wouldn’t with that sausage up a snatch, but he tells them they have to stay quiet as he doesn’t want to wake me. He’s very considerate. He uses me as an excuse to keep them from staying over. Get this, he tells them I’m gay and I’d throw a hissy fit if I found a naked woman in the house in the morning. I guess it works, as they’re just aren’t any. Like I said, he’s quite the character. You can’t help but love him as crazy as he is,” Devin said with a grin on his face, and a hint he genuinely cared about Sandy.

I got us all a third beer. We were all starting to feel it a little. The guys were still having a blast in the shower together. Hell, they had to be getting water logged by now, I thought, but they were still laughing and carrying on. Thad had not joined them and opted to go back to Trent’s instead, skipping dinner with us.

“How often does Sandy bring in women in a week?” I asked out of curiosity.

“Sometimes two or three. He picks them up at bars. Usually they had plenty to drink. Some of them are kind of slutty looking and them some of them are kind of hot. You just never know what kind of mood he’s in when he’s hunting,” Devin said, thinking about some of the ones he’d actually seen. “There was one night, he was sound asleep in his bed with another ‘chic’ as he calls them. I woke up to banging on the back door and a woman yelling. She said, ‘I know you’re in there, Sandy. Open up. I need fucked with that big dick of yours in the worst way. Come on, open up and fuck me!’,” Devin mimicked what she said. “I had to get up in my boxers and tell her to go away, that he wasn’t home, and she was going to wake up the neighbors. She pulled out my waistband on my boxers and looked at my cock, saying, ‘what do you have to offer a girl in need?’ Then she insulted me and said, ‘oh, that’ll never do.’ Can you believe that. I told her it was too good for her anyway. She shot me the finger and took off. I told Sandy about it the next morning after his chic was gone. He told me never to let that woman anywhere near him, as she was crazy. I told him I kind of thought that myself. He’s a chic magnet, though. He can really drum them up. But like I said, he likes to fuck them, and then throw them out. Actually, because of that, he’s turned out to be a pretty good housemate,” Devin said, recalling some of the stories. Jake and I were laughing.

“Oh, there was one time, well more than one time, I guess. This is a little embarrassing, but I guess I can tell you guys. I woke up in the morning with him in bed with me naked with his arm around me and his morning wood up against my bare ass. I was shocked, and asked him what the hell was going on. He sleepily said his last night’s lay was still in his bed, too drunk to leave last night, but snored, and he couldn’t sleep listening to that shit all night. He told me, he knew I didn’t snore, and I felt good snuggling up to. He told me to forget his hard cock, as it was that way every morning, and he didn’t mean anything by it. We were still bros. I asked him if he could at least put on a pair of underwear or something if he had to do that again. Then he had the audacity to say, why should he, as he thought I might like it. I could have shot him, but then he hugged me, and told me he loved me more than anyone else in the world. What do you say to that?” Devin asked, enjoying the story he told and our neat reaction to it, as if we were all great friends sharing funny experiences. Jake and I were almost howling. “Yeh, we’ve shared some crazy experiences together, but as he says, there’s no harm. Sandy is Sandy, and you either love him or you don’t. I guess I’m saddled with loving him for some strange reason. He’s good people,” Devin said seriously.

“Can’t beat a wonderful caring friend, Devin. Sounds like you found a good one. Jake and I have too, with all the guys we have here with us that are involved in our businesses. Hopefully, we can keep you and Sandy involved with helping us in our businesses also. Nice to have great friends you can trust and care about while you work together.

“Boy, I hope we can all do great things together, Josh. I mean to tell you that Sandy and I really enjoy you guys and working with you, as I’ve told you many times before. You can just tell when you meet people you know are going to be great friends for life. That’s what I thought about Sandy, and it turned out to be true. He and I both believe the same thing about you guys. Our lives just keep getting better with the people we meet. Todd and Chad are great. We have them to thank for being able to meet and work with you guys. What a great network of guys. I hope we’re not being too forward by saying how much we enjoy you guys, because we really cherish that relationship and are proud to say it,” Devin said sincerely. I gave him side bro hug.

“Hell, I’m glad you did, Devin. You’re part of the family now, after examining Sandy’s big cock tonight and hearing all the intimate stories you had to tell about the two of you. You guys fit in with us perfectly. Hell, he’s probably fucking the guys with that big dick of his in the shower tonight,” I said joking.

“Hey, I wouldn’t put it past him. Maybe you better check on him,” Devin said laughing.

Just then the boys emerged from the showers in towels, their hair still wet. They went straight for the refrigerator and more beer, then sat on the stools in their towels.

“Any assholes get violated in the showers tonight?” I had to ask. They cracked up.

“Almost, but no one could take that huge thing of Sandy’s,” Trevor commented. They all laughed. “We all did get to dock up our cocks with Sandy’s. That was the wildest thing, Josh. You have to try it sometime,” Trevor urged.

“I’ll just let you tell me about it, Trev,” I replied.

“Yeh, we did it several times until Sandy’s cock started getting hard, then we had to quit. He said there was too much temptation there with all those hot butts running around there in the showers. He said there was some prime ass there, and after a while, you don’t care if it’s male or female,” Trevor said paraphrasing Sandy, who was cracking up, his towel half off his lap exposing half of his balls and cock. He finally had to stand up, drop his towel, then wrap himself again, giving us a full frontal shot of his manhood. He had some nice pecs like Jake, strong and stout. There was just a small patch of pubic hair above the base of his cock. It was thick and blonde, but didn’t cover a very large area, unlike the forest that Trevor had down there.

“Sandy, you don’t have to flash everyone,” Devin said, somewhat embarrassed Sandy had disrobed, then straightened out his towel and re-wrapped himself.

“Hey, we’re just guys, Dev. Ain’t nothing we all haven’t seen before, well in my case there may be more of what most people haven’t seen that much of before,” he said, then laughed at his own joke. The guys did also. Devin just shook his head.

“See what I mean?” he whispered to me.

We heard the bell ring downstairs. Since we were all in our underwear, or most of us just had towels wrapped around naked bodies, I asked if Devin, who was still dressed for work with work shorts and a t-shirt, if he might check to see who was there. He ran down to check. Turns out it was a delivery guy from the chicken place that brought buckets of chicken and the fixn’s to go with it. Thad had ordered it for us and paid for it in advance. Devin said he had the guy put it on the contractor’s desk by the door and would need help bringing it up. I went down to help him.

While we were down there getting the stuff to bring up, Devin grabbed me and said, “Thank you for this evening, Josh. You guys have been wonderful, and this has been the best day of my life since I’ve been in business in this town. I can’t thank you enough for your friendship and for accepting Sandy too. I do really care about him. I’m kind of like an older brother to him, and he wasn’t always this easy to get along with. He’s really come a long way since we met and became friends and housemates. Working with you guys, and hanging out with you, has been so good for him. I’ve never seen him happier than he is tonight. I can’t thank you enough,” he said, then hugged me tightly. I kind of liked what I felt.

“Friends, Devin,” I said, and continued to hug hm tightly for a few seconds. He seemed to really like that. I did too.

The guys had fun pimping each other as we ate. We were all laughing and having a good time. Devin and Sandy helped us clean up after the big meal, recycling the beer bottles and stowing the trash. Someone finally found Sandy’s boxers and handed them to him. He dropped his towel and put them on in front of all of us, much to Devin’s dismay.

“He has no shame,” Devin told me. I just laughed.

“Well, at least he has a lot to show,” I remarked.

Devin laughed and said, “that he does.” Then he looked at Sandy. “Come on twinkle toes, let’s get you home. We have a lot of work tomorrow to do for these guys, and we don’t want to be late,” Devin told him.

“No hunting tonight guys. Got to go beddy-bye so I can work for you guys tomorrow and my great boss here. Chics will just have to wait on the big guy,” Sandy said, rubbing his big cock through his work shorts, now that he was dressed. “No hunting tonight, Dev. That means your ass is fair game. I know exactly where to find it, so make room for me tonight in your bed. Hope you got lots of lube,” Sandy joked, making us all laugh.

“In your dreams, Sandy,” Devin shot back.

“No, in your dreams. You know you love it. Guys, he really does. He just pretends he’s straight. But for a great ass, I can go either way,” Sandy joked. Actually, we thought that comment was pretty hot.

“Come on, before these guys have you arrested,” Devin told him, pushing him towards the door. The guys all told him how much fun they’d had with him. He blew them all a kiss and promised to fuck them the next time he showered with them. It was a laugh a minute until we locked the downstairs door, finally.

Trevor and Andy were still getting dressed when I got back upstairs. “He was quite the character in the showers tonight,” Trevor said, grinning from ear to ear. “Not only did we get to see the beast, hell we were practically playing with it the entire time we were in the showers. For a straight guy, he could have cared less. He seemed to enjoy all the attention his dick was getting. Really, he took great pains to show us how his cock could dock every one of us.”

“No kidding. Anything else happen?” I asked.

“Yeh, he got it half-hard and tried to show us it’s girth and how powerful it was when he fucked. He was such a character. Nothing like a straight guy showing off and bragging about his cock to a bunch of gay guys. I just hope when he finds out who we really are, that it doesn’t cause any problems with our friendship,” Andy said, thinking about everything that happened this evening with Sandy.

“You know, guys, I don’t think it will. From what Devin shared with us tonight, Sandy has never been happier than he has working with you guys and Devin. He’s finally found happiness, which, according to Devin, he hasn’t always had. Devin said it was remarkable the quick friendship you guys all developed with Sandy, and he thanked Jake and me over and over for that, saying how great we were to work with and what a great future of friendship they were looking forward to. I think, in their minds, and definitely in ours, friendship and caring overrides everything else. He may have been teasing, but you heard him say ‘for a great ass, he could go either way’.”

“Well, I hope he comes my way someday, as I’d love to feel that uncut cock of his up my ass,” Trevor said wishfully. Andy shot him a strange look, then smiled.

“I almost bet that might be kind of hot,” Andy added, thinking about it.

“I think I’d like to fuck that ass,” Dustin chimed in. “I swear he has a nice ass on him. Josh, he does have a little blonde hair up his ass crack. I got to see that tonight when he bent over to see if he could blow his balls off with the shower jets, like you warned him about. It was so funny. He said it hurt like hell, but then he hoped it’d wake up his boys and make them generate more cum to fill up the condoms he fucked the ladies with,” Dustin said chuckling. “Nice ass. Really nice ass,” Dustin added.

“I doubt if he’d ever feel our dicks up his ass if we fucked him, OBB,” Allen offered. “I guess we could do like we do with Kevin and DP him. He might like that. It’s kind of kinky for a kinky straight boy,” Allen remarked.

“Josh, you should have seen him try to dock his cock with Allen and me. Damn near rolled his foreskin up the entire length of our cocks. I swear my limp dick was almost totally inside of his big dick. It damn near disappeared inside. Sandy was howling, he thought it was so funny. I had to quit fast, as I started to get hard. Close call, but I saved it,” OBB confessed. “He didn’t seem to have any problems handling our cocks when he was playing around. He might just be a sexual guy, and not give a crap who he plays around with, as long as he’s having fun. As he says, ‘it’s harmless’,” OBB added.

“Make sure we don’t ruin any friendships over anything we might regret. Just saying,’ I cautioned.

We finished cleaning up the kitchen. Trevor and Andy kissed and hugged Jake and me before they left, telling us they loved us and they’d see us in the morning.

“What do you think, babe. Can we go to bed a little early tonight and spend some intimate time with each other? I can’t wait to sleep in my own bed with my own man again,” I told him, kissing him gently on the lips. He got rather passionate rather quickly, then picked me u,p and carried me to the bedroom in his big strong arms. I loved that gymnastics body of his.

“Guess that means you want some alone time tonight, and you don’t need any guests,” Dustin said, somewhat disappointed.

“That would probably be right for tonight, if you don’t mind. We’ve had a tough last couple of days. But we still love you, and want to make you feel loved, so maybe tomorrow night?” I asked. Dustin blew me a kiss and told us to save some spooge for him for tomorrow night. He’d take care of Allen and OBB’s ass tonight. That got them all excited.

Jake laid me on the bed and ripped off my undies, liberating my already stiffening cock, from the anticipation of some wonderful attention it was about to receive from the man I loved most in this world. I helped Jake eliminate his briefs, and free that beautiful cock of his. He laid on top of me, gently grinding his groin against mine, driving my cock and balls crazy with lust for what was about to happen. I could already feel some pre-cum ooze from my piss slit and form a string from the head of my cock to my belly. Jake wrapped his arms completely around me, enveloping my body with his. He felt so wonderful up against me. Sex with others I totally cared, for was wonderful, but there was still no comparison with Jake. He was my end all for passion and love. His lips and tongue attacked my mouth, and we made out like fiends. Then he moved down to my neck, then my nipples, sucking on each nipple and gently nipping at it with his teeth making more pre-cum ooze from my cock. I just laid there, and let him do his thing, my body reacting to his every move, and sending my passion to new heights with each new thing he did to me. I was lost in the lust for my man. We needed to become one and soon, as I was overwhelmed with passion for him at this moment. I felt his lips move from my already sensitive nipples, down my sternum to my navel. Then his tongue teasingly swirled around my navel, then into my treasure trail, moistening all the little hairs that formed a trail to my promised land. He was taking his time, and I was oozing more pre-cum while he did, with the anticipation of my cock, soon to be inhaled into his hot sensuous mouth, to be worshiped and coaxed for my sperm, deep within my balls.

“Fuck, Jake, you feel so fucking hot tonight. Oh, babe, you’re killing me. I might cum before you ever get my dick in your mouth,” I teased him. He kissed me passionately on the lips one more time.

“That’s what I love about the way we make love, Josh. We can send each other over the edge without even having to touch our cocks at times. That’s when you know you’re deeply in love with someone, when you can do that to each other. You’ve done that for me since the first time we made love. I think I’m just going to eat you all up tonight, devour you cock until your balls are bone dry, and your dick convulses because it’s out of cum,” he said, looking me in they eyes, as he continued to lay on me and kiss my lips and neck, having taken a break from my lower half, before getting to my cock, just to heighten the anticipation. I could have melted beneath him. I grabbed his head and kissed him aggressively, then wrapped my legs around his torso, pressing him tighter against me. I could feel his hard cock up against my asshole when I raised my legs to wrap them around him. He felt so good there, knocking at my door of love.

The pre-cum oozing from Jake’s penis was lubricating my anus, as the head of his cock moved around my hole, sending chills through my entire body. “Oh, Jake, you’re driving me insane, you know that,” I whispered in his ear, as I nibbled on it some, feeling more pre-cum ooze from his cock up against my anus. “Fuck, you feel so hot tonight. My cock wants to give you my seed already, but let’s not let it,” I whispered.

“Mine wants in your ass in the worst way, but it’s going to have to wait. We’re going to make this last and enjoy it,” he whispered back between sensuous kisses. I dug the heels of my feet into his glutes and massaged them with my feet. Jake seemed to dig that a little. I played with his nipples, pinching them with my fingers ever so gently, then more aggressively. Again, I felt more pre-cum ooze from the head of his penis up against my asshole. Fuck, this felt so good. I wanted this feeling to last forever. “I want to suck you, babe. Loosen your grip from your legs to let me get down on you, and really show you what my love is all about.

I loved the sound of that, and let my legs drop beside him, allowing him to move down to my groin, to inhale my cock deep in his mouth. Jake ran his nose through my pubes, inhaling my scent, furthering his passion, as he gripped my cock in one hand and prepared to run it down his throat. Instead, he gently licked the head of my penis with the tip of his tongue, further heightening my senses, sending a river of pre-cum from my piss slit. “Fuck, that feels so hot,” I sighed, enjoying the intense feeling of passion between us.

“You ain’t seen nothing yet, babe. I’m going to send you to outer space and back. You ready to travel?” he asked, looking up over my cock to look me in the eyes.

“Send me into orbit, babe. We’re going to have to go somewhere and soon, as I’m going to explode if we don’t. This is going to be one hell of a mess when it happens, that’s all I can say,” I told him panting, as he gently stroked my cock and resumed teasing the head of my penis with the tip of his tongue. I grabbed the sheets with my fingers gripping them hard, fighting back the temptation to let my seed fly. Then it happened. I almost fainted. Jake’s phone rang sending a chill through both of us. We were both frozen in time, unable to move, my cock still in his firm grip, but his hand not moving. Pre-cum ceased to ooze. It was like we couldn’t move. “You going to answer that?” I asked noting nothing else was happening. He looked dazed.

“Of all things, why now?” Jake said disappointedly, and let go of my cock to look for his phone. “Fuck, not now,” he said concerned.

“Who the hell is it, Trevor or Andy. I’ll kill them both,” I said somewhat irritated. Jake looked at me with a sad face and said ‘hello’.

“Oh, that’s shitty,” I heard him say. “Really, he did that? What a prick. That’s not good,” Jake added. “Wait just a minute. Let me tell Josh,” he said then muted the phone. “It’s Jim, Josh, and it’s not good,” he said sadly.
 
Wow, Josh got a little testy with Bill. I agree with Bill. Josh has this deal. It just depends on how he wants to play it and he seems to be doing it the right way, if Bill doesn't screw it up. The incentive is too great for Bill to screw it up. Josh has it. Can't wait to see how it comes together.

For some reason, you really enjoy teasing the hell out of straight boys, FT. Okay, the Sandy thing was hilarious. I'd say the guys are going to have a lot of fun with Sandy before he ever figures out they're gay, if he even cares. He seems to love his chics, but I it seems like he doesn't care who plays with his dick, which could be fun. Devin's admission of Sandy crawling naked into bed with him to escape the snoring chic in his bed he wasn't able to convince to leave, was interesting. Sounded like maybe Devin might be into some of the same things our boys are. It would be great if he was, because I think Josh loves that killer smile of Devin's. Sandy did say 'for a great ass, I can go either way', leaving a hint he liked to fuck any hot hole regardless of gender. Was that the beer talking or was he serious. I have to believe he spoke the truth not knowing all the guys there would love a piece of his dick in their ass. What a revelation when he finds out. Great character, FT. I like this Sandy guy a lot. It will be interesting to see how Devin develops also.

Sounds like Jim is having additional problems with Drey. Again, another cliff hanger, leaving us hanging by our dicks again until the next chapter. It's a good thing you promised us the next chapter tomorrow. Poor Josh and Jake, really getting into each other and the heat of the moment, when there comes a friend in need again. I think they are a little too caring as they don't seem to have much of a life of their own at times. Still, it sure makes things interesting. Okay, FT, we need the next chapter tomorrow. You left us hanging again, remember. We still love you though. Keep typing. BC
 
Thanks for another excellent chapter FT. What a wild adventure this one was.

I was somewhat expecting the phone call between Bill and Josh to turn out exactly the way it played out. Luckily Josh has people who love and care about him to help calm him down and let him know sometimes you just have to wait and show great patience in order for things to play into your favor.

All of the guys are wild and crazy with their antics but none come remotely close to Josh, but Sandy is definitely a close second probably just inching out ahead of Trevor by just a (hair) or not. Which brings me to the point of everyone getting a pretty clear view of his smooth balls. I was just expecting a dick flash but just wondering who would be the lucky recipient but when he asked Allen to feel his smooth balls I literally choked on my soda. Then when he whipped out his uncut dick and gave them a little anatomy lesson on how his foreskin works while sitting in the kitchen (made me think about Friday night when I met some friends for dinner and the guy at the table in the corner was eating nonchalantly while his uncut dick was hanging out the leg of his shorts) but anyway back to the story then Sandy docking with Trevor, then the rest of the guys while in the shower.

It was nice to see Devin let a little bit of himself show through while talking with Josh and Jake about his friendship with Sandy. No matter how annoyed he may get with Sandys actions, deep down that is his friend and he truly cares for him.

Poor Jim, sounds like he might need to separate himself from Drey for awhile. Maybe Josh and Jake will invite him to stay over for a week or two. He could always use Thads bed as he is rarely around to use it anymore.
 
Xander, I need to go to some of your dinner parties. Sounds like they similar to Josh's get togethers. While Sandy is straight, he doesn't mind showing off his prize possession. Devin puts up with it or so we think. Thanks for yours and BC's comments. As promised so BC isn't hanging out there, here is the next chapter. Everyone have a great holiday this week and stay safe. FT.
 
Chapter 253 – More Problems for Jim and Drey

I was holding my breath when Jake said it was Jim on the phone and it wasn’t good. My concern for what was taking place with Jim, overrode my heightened sexual need for immediate sex with Jake, as much as he horned me up in the process. My cock seemed to wilt on my belly in a pool of pre-cum, that I had so ardently produced during Jake’s and my foreplay. That was all in the past at the moment.

“Jim needs to come over, Josh. You okay with that?” he asked as he stroked his wilting cock.

“So much for our private togetherness tonight. I guess we need to see what we can do to help Jim, Jake. Sure, have him come over, and we’ll try to sort everything out,” I replied. Jake told him to come over as soon as he could.

I squeezed the last little smidgeon of pre-cum from my penis. Jake licked it off for me. I licked his off for him also, then we cleaned up a little and found our briefs, so we could be halfway presentable when Jim arrived ten minutes later. Jake and I heard the bell downstairs and let him in. He raced into Jake’s arms hugging him tightly, obviously extremely upset over something. Then he allowed me to give him a hug also.

“Come on up, Jim. Then you can tell us what all happened,” I told him. He thanked me profusely.

We went into our bedroom and shut the door again. The others had already disappeared for the night, playing video games or watching TV in their rooms. I assumed Dustin was servicing Allen and OBB’s asses somehow, but that was of no concern with Jim hurting like he was.

“Take off your clothes and get comfortable, Jim,” Jake told him. Jim dropped his shorts and took off his shirt, sneakers and socks, down to his briefs to match Jake and me. “So what happened?” Jake asked.

“We had a terrible fight, Jake. I’ve never seen Drey act like he did tonight. All day long he didn’t hardly talk to me. I knew it was killing him as to where I was last night, but he never said anything during the day. Then when we got off work tonight he asked me if I wanted to work out. I told him I didn’t want to do that anymore. He blew a gasket, asking me if my not wanting to work out with him had anything to do with where I might have been last night. I told him maybe, but I didn’t want to talk about it. Then he accused me of being selfish, because he needed me last night, and I wasn’t there for him. I told him he was out on a date, why should I stay home and wait for him. He didn’t seem to care if I was alone, so why should I care what he was doing. He had to stop and think about it for a minute. He told me things didn’t work out that well on his date, and both he and the girl realized they weren’t going anywhere with it and decided to call it an early evening. I told him I was sorry it didn’t work out, but what did that have to do with me. He told me that I should have been there for him when he got home as he needed to talk to someone, confer with someone that understood him and he could confide in. I ask him what he needed to confide in me for with a date that didn’t work out. He had lots of those over the years. We went back and forth on stupid stuff that didn’t make sense he was driving at, but the main thing he really wanted to know was where I was last night. I told him I spend the night at a friend’s house. We drank beer, played video games and eventually passed out. He didn’t buy that, as he said, as far as he knew, we didn’t have any friends outside of us. Forgive me, but I told him I went to hang out with you two and we had a good time. That really got him going and he wanted to know if we had sex. I just told him it was none of his business, but everything was on the up and up. That pissed him off and he called me a faggot. He said he knew I liked guys, and was sure I was particularly interested in you, Jake. I told him he was full of shit and even if there was an inkling of truth to the fact I liked guys, I sure wouldn’t jeopardize a business relationship with a large customer because of that. He called me a liar. He said he knew I liked kissing you, Jake. I told him I had nothing against kissing, as it was kind of hot, just like some of the other stuff we did. Then he wanted to know why I never did anything like that with him. I told him I wanted to, but he never did. He always told me it was gay and to forget about it. Then he didn’t know what to say, other than he was horny last night and I wasn’t there to help him with his problem. I told him I didn’t know we were a couple in that sense of the word. That really set him off. He paced the floor the entire time he was talking to me. He was just looking for something, digging for anything to lash out at me. I finally told him unless he had something decent to say to me, I’d rather not talk to him at all when he was in this mood. I swear he wanted to hit me,” Jim said sadly.

“He didn’t get physical did he?” I asked concerned.

“He shoved me around a little at different times, but nothing I couldn’t handle. I’m just as strong as he is and he knows it,” Jim went on to say.

“Did you ask him what was really bothering him, and could you sit down and have an honest conversation about it?” I asked.

“I just reacted to his insults and tried to downplay them, throw it off as nothing, and he was way overreacting. He just couldn’t stop. Then he said maybe we weren’t as good as friends as he thought we were. I told him that might be true, as I was getting a little tired of everything we did together. That pissed him off even more. I asked him where we were going with all this. He said he wasn’t sure. I asked him if he really was my friend. He said he thought he was. Then I asked him if he was my friend, why was he so upset with me. He couldn’t tell me. I told him if he didn’t know, I had no idea and it was futile to argue about it. I had no idea what we were arguing about anyway. I was fine. I had a nice visit with the two of you. We hung out together and now today was today, so what of it? He said I should have been home for him. I told him I wasn’t his keeper and he ditched me for the evening to go out with his bimbo girlfriend he picked up at the paint store. He said he was going to see if she had a girlfriend for me. I thanked him for that, but told him I’d find my own if he didn’t mind. Then he said he was just thinking about me, and I should have a girlfriend also. I told him if I wanted to be tied down with a woman, I could find my own, but I wasn’t ready for that. If it happened it happened, but it hadn’t, and I as just as happy without being tied down. That frustrated him also. Then he asked if the two of you had girlfriends. I told him I wasn’t sure, but you two were so busy building a business empire, you probably didn’t have time for them, as they were a lot of work. I laid it on thick what all you guys were working on and what you were building. He was overly impressed, but said I shouldn’t meet with you two without him present also as all four of us were friends and it wasn’t right for me to hog both of you without him. I told him he wasn’t available, but you guys were, and I didn’t want to stay home by myself while he was out having fun, even though I had no idea it wasn’t gong to work out for him. I had him there. He grabbed me and held me. At first, I thought he was going to kiss me, but he just glared at me. I broke loose from him and told him I didn’t appreciate his hostility. If he wanted to talk to me as friends, that was fine, but if he was going to be belligerent, I wasn’t interested in continuing the conversation. That pissed him off. He said we’d always been there for one another. I told him that was true, so why was he treating me so bad tonight. I never gave him an inch to be upset with me, but he couldn’t help himself. I swear, guys, he’s so full of himself, he can’t come to grips with the fact I have a life also, and it doesn’t revolve totally around his universe,” Jim said, still upset.

“Have you ever thought about just leveling with him, Jim. Could you get by with telling him you loved him as your friend, but you couldn’t live like this with him being jealous of your life, and ask him what was provoking that hostility?” Jake asked him.

“In a way, I tried, but he was just too upset to have a rational in-depth conversation about what we both meant to one another,” Jim stated. “That would have just provoked him even more.

“So, where did you leave the controversy? Did you leave? Did he throw you out? Where are you now with your relationship with him?” Jake asked him, wanting to get to the bottom of where they were now.

“He told me maybe I should leave. I asked him what the hell was the matter with him. I had my bedroom and he had his, so if he was that pissed off at me, for Lord only knows why, we could still be there together and not have to talk to one another. Then he reminded me the lease was in his name, and he could throw me out anytime. I told him if he wanted to be like that, then it was time I went anyway, as I thought our friendship was a hell of a lot stronger than he being pissed at me for something he couldn’t tell me what it was. He looked at me and said I knew what it was. I told him he was full of shit too. Then he got so mad, I thought he was going to hit me. He backed off, but he had his fist ready. Then he said for me to go fuck myself and get the hell out of his life. That’s when I left and called you, Jake. What should I do?” he asked looking at our two bewildered faces.

“Well, I can gladly say, I’ve never had to go through any of what you had to,” I replied. I doubt if Jake has either. We still don’t know what set him off, and to the extent it did. Not sure how to handle this one. You want to spend the night?” I asked him.

“Would it be okay, as I don’t think he’ll let me back in the apartment. The bad thing is we have to work together tomorrow. I guess it’ll be much like today, in that we won’t talk to one another. That’s going to be special,” Jim said sadly. “He hurt me, guys. Not physically, but emotionally. Jake and I talked at great length about this last night. We both came to the conclusion, I do love the guy and have for some time, not realizing the extent. Jake helped me realize all that last night. I now realize, I like male to male sex. He helped me with that last night, Josh. Thank you for letting him. I owe you big time on that one. I now realize how much you two really love each other. I also realize, that’s what I want for myself also. I wish it could have been Drey, but I guess that’s not to be. Hell, he won’t even let me be his friend for some reason. We’ve been great friends for years and roomies for a couple of years. Shit we suck each other’s cocks even. I guess I shouldn’t have gotten that personal and intimate with someone that didn’t really want a relationship, but I thought at the time we started, it was, as he explained it, buddies just helping out buddies. I still think he thinks of it that way, even though I wanted more out of it than just the sex. The way he sucks cock and Jake sucks cock is night and day. Drey is in kindergarten and Jake his getting his doctorate, that’s the difference. He doesn’t know it though, and I’d never tell him anything like that,” Jim explained. Jake and I shook our heads.

“Would it do any good for me to go talk to him, Jim? I don’t mean tonight, but maybe tomorrow sometime. Surely he’s got to come to his senses he’s being too overly upset over virtually nothing, unless there are some deep seated feelings he’s struggling with. But if he can’t talk about them, no one can really help him. We have to get to the bottom of where his anger is coming from. Could he be jealous of you?” I asked.

“I wondered that, but in everything we do, I always let him take the credit. I’ve always played up to his ego. I tease him about it also, and he admits he has one, but has thanked me in the past for reminding him so it doesn’t go to his head. Although, it does at times, but I never complain. He was boasting to our regional manager that he sold you guys a ton of paint. Our regional manager was impressed with the numbers, but Drey had nothing to do with any of that. Todd and Chap specified and ordered the paint and how much of it to use. All we did was mix it and deliver it. There was no selling involved, yet he wanted to take credit for that. I kind of think the regional manager knew that wasn’t the case. That guy’s been around for a while. He even gave me a look like Drey was full of shit, but didn’t say anything. He’s got an ego, guys. Well, look at how he looks at himself in the mirror when we work out, strutting his stuff like he’s the most beautiful guy in the whole wide world. Let’s face it, there aren’t many women out there, sane ones anyway, that are going to put up with his vanity, not when they have theirs to defend,” Jim remarked. Jake and I definitely had to agree.

“But you were strutting your stuff also, Jim. Were you doing it for the same reason as he was?” Jake asked. I was glad Jake asked that question, although I wanted to.

“Really, I was looking at Drey, and admiring his beautiful body, guys. Yeh, I went through the motions, but we were in the same mirror, if you remember. I was really admiring Drey and how hot he was. I’m telling you, I was smitten by him. I guess I fell in love with him and didn’t have the sense to know what it was. Jake helped me figure all that out last night. I know I’m fucked up and my venture into this new world hasn’t started out right at all. There is so much more I need to experience and learn about male intimacy and love. I was never around anyone like that before. I have no frame of reference to compare myself to or even someone to discuss it with until you guys came along. I only really discovered you guys in the last few days. I just thought it was another circle jerk party for the most part, all straight guys trying to help one another out until we found pussy that would set us free from our buds. Well, I guess I finally gave up on that, and now I’m happy I did. But, I’m still very much a novice at all this. I like to kiss passionately, suck dick and now, thanks to Jake, get fucked in the ass. That much I know and enjoy so far. The psychology of all this and the love and sharing between two men, I need to learn more. I’m hoping if I can hang around you guys some, it’ll rub off on me and I’ll understand it better,” Jim said, confessing that he was still very much in the blind of all male intimacy and love.

“I guess we can help you with that, Jim. Basically, if you love someone, you love someone. The sex, as in a heterosexual relationship, is secondary. Well, it should be anyway, not that it always is. There are the same relationship problems in the gay world as there are in the hetero world. Trust me, we’ve all seen and experienced some of that. You will too, no doubt. You just can’t escape it unless you live in a utopian world,” I told him.

“You and Jake don’t have any problems, do you?” Jim asked curiously. Jake and I looked at each other and smiled.

“That’s because I totally trust and love Josh, Jim. He does me also. But some of our friends have gone through some messy breakups and failed relationships. It happens. Josh and I both hope our love is strong enough to withstand any test of it, and, so far, we’ve been very fortunate. For one thing, we’d never do anything intentionally to hurt one another, but that’s not to say it couldn’t happen. We share everything together and have no secrets. It’s an honest loving relationship. We strive to serve as a model to the rest of our friends also and help them with their problems. We’re very fortunate most of our friends have healthy relationships, but we’ve seen some disappointing ones also,” Jake explained. I had to kiss Jake for that.

“I knew Jake had sex with you last night, Jim. I actually encouraged it to help you find yourself. I had sex with someone, that will remain nameless at the moment, because he needed help also. Sex is only part of a relationship. Truth, trust and love are the main ingredients. The love between Jake and me is rock solid, and it’s going to stay that way. We work hard to keep it that way. We can only hope that you find it in your life also. We’ll do what we can to help you with that, if you allow us to,” I promised him.

“Oh, I so need your help right now. I’m lost, totally lost at this moment. I don’t know where to go or what to do. I’ve never been so unsure of anything in my life at the moment,” Jim said, about to cry. Jake and I group hugged him.

“Well, one thing’s for sure. You need to stay here tonight. I guess you can sleep with Jake and me,” I told him.

“Josh, I’d be happy with your couch. I don’t want to interfere with you and Jake in any way, shape or form. This is my problem, not yours. You’re willing to help me with it, but you don’t need to give up your life over it. I have to be reasonable. I won’t let this hurt anyone else. I could never live with myself letting that happen,” Jim stated. We hugged him again.

“Sleep in here with us tonight. We have an additional three beds at the moment, as I have a feeling Dustin’s sleeping with Allen and OBB tonight, but if this thing lasts for a few days, we’ll put you somewhere in one of our rooms for tomorrow. That sound okay to you?” I asked. Jim kissed me and then Jake. “You bring any stuff with you?” I asked.

“Got some work clothes down in my car and some clean underwear. I’m good for a few days anyway, unless Drey beats me up and gets me all bloody or something,” Jim responded.

“Well, let’s count on that not happening. Hopefully, he’ll miss you tonight, realize what a dick he’s been, and he’s lost his only close friend he has in the world, then come crawling to you, begging you to come back. We can only hope,” I said, wishfully. Jim smiled.

“That’ll be the day. I wouldn’t count on it. He’s pretty vain, remember?” Jim reminded us.

We went back downstairs to help Jim bring in some of his things. We put most of his stuff in the back bedroom where Dustin and Erin had been sleeping, although with Erin’s absence, Dustin had been sleeping around, not saying he was a slut or anything, he was just sleeping in others’ beds, not staying by himself in his assigned bedroom, which is what any of us would have done in his position. I didn’t think Eric would like a gay roommate, although since Jim was transitioning, he probably wouldn’t have been an issue for Eric, especially if we explained what was going on. Eric was extremely thoughtful, and would have helped to the best of his ability.

After moving in his stuff, we took care of before bedtime maintenance, using the bathroom and brushing our teeth. Sometimes that involved other procedures, but we were good with the minimal amount tonight, although Jim asked if he could take a shower. I guessed what that meant, so we indulged him, and just turned on the pole shower and joined him for a quick cleanup that involved giving him a major hardon. Then we dried off and jumped into our bed, putting Jim in the middle.

“I suppose you want to experiment more in male intimacy?” I asked.

“Only if you two are up to it. I’ve never done a threesome before, even with women, never ever. You two make me so hard, I can’t imagine what that’s like,” Jim said excitedly.

“Well are you in for a treat,” I told him. We got him up on all fours. Jake got underneath him and sucked on his cock, and made Jim suck him. I ate his ass to the point he came in Jake’s mouth in a very short period of time. At least I knew we could drain his balls rather quickly at that point and then the three of us could get some serious sleep. I fucked him, after he had a chance to recover, then Jake fucked him. He came three times. Jake and I only came once and that was kind of between us when that happened, for which I was grateful. Three naked bodies, finally fell asleep together.

Jim was up early, having to shower and get to work on time. He was nervous when he left in his paint company sales uniform, nicely pressed slacks and polo shirt with the paint store logo and his name on it. He looked sharp and extremely well built. We tidied him up before he left. He as extremely chipper at the time he left. Jake told him he’d stop by later to pick up a paint sample, just to take the attitude temperature in the store and make sure everything was okay. Jim kissed us both passionately and headed out. We wished him well.

A few minutes later, Jim called and said we didn’t have to stop by as Drey had called off sick and wasn’t coming in today. In a way, we were kind of grateful, to let the dust settle, but that wasn’t helping to resolve anything.

I had to fill Allen, OBB, Dustin, Eric, Trevor, Andy and Thad in on what was going on. They were amazed at the confrontation by Drey, but then chalked it off to straight people not having any sense. I told them that was not the case, but it sounded good at the time. We all kind of chuckled.

Todd and Chad joined us for coffee before we started working. I filled them in on the Jim and Drey situation also. Then I explained where we were with the land negotiations. Todd and Chad both agreed we were there. It was a done deal as far as they were concerned. I also told them about the fun we had with Sandy and Devin the night before at our after work beer drinking party. They said they were sorry they didn’t stay for that entertainment. I told the two it would only be a matter of time and we’d have Sandy and Devin at our Saturday skinny dipping parties as there was nothing modest about Sandy at all. Todd and Chad cracked up, and said they’d look forward to it.

We all finally moved downstairs to go to work. Sandy and Devin came in and hugged all of us, even Todd and Chad. We had a great team there ready to go after it. We had to get after it, as we were running out of time.

Mid-morning, Cliff came wandering in. “Hey, Josh, Jake. I missed you guys and just came by to check on you,” Cliff said cheerfully.

“They make you a VP at the bank yet, Cliff? Do we need to put any pressure on your boss?” I asked, making him feel important.

“No, not yet, but they never give me any grief anymore either. Whoever you talked to had some stroke over there and they sure seem to treat me well now. Thanks for whatever you did,” Cliff replied. “I told them I was calling on our most important client this morning. They told me to take you guys to lunch at the most expensive restaurant in town. You guys up for it?” he asked. “Or we could just go upstairs, order in and fuck our brains out. It’s up to you,” he said all excited.

“Would love to, Cliff, but we have so much going on right now, we hardly have time for lunch, let alone anal pleasures like you enjoy. One of these days though, we’ll get you over here for a full partnership orgy, if you’d be open to something like that,” I teased him.

“Good grief. Any tops in your midst?” he asked, looking around at all the guys working on the furniture.

“We have plenty of whatever you’re into. Most are versatile anyway, so no shortage of tops,” I assured him.

“Wow, that would be fantastic. You say the word and this hot ass is here and ready to be plugged, big time,” he said with great excitement.

“We’ll hold you to it,” I assured him. He asked about Sandy, having never seen him before, and wondering if that bulge in his shorts signified he had a big cock. We assured him he did, having witnessed an exposition of it just the night before, but warned Cliff, he was straight. Cliff found that hard to believe that a straight guy showed a bunch of gay guys his big cock and let them all touch it and experience it in the showers. We told him it was a long story, but it’d been a lot of fun, and it was all ‘harmless’, as Sandy had put it. Cliff died laughing.

“Oh, I just wanted to inform you that a real estate company was trying to verify assets of your Stoney Enterprises. I thought I’d let you know. That request came through early this morning. You guys arranging for some financing or something, as we could certainly help you out with that. If it’s greater than the bank’s limit we can get participating banks involved,” Cliff informed Jake and me.

“Cliff, we’re trying to buy a local piece of property for another business, and I’m sure before they agree to sell it to us, they want to verify that we have the funds to purchase it, otherwise they’re wasting their time. Trust me we could buy that damned property a thousand times over for what we’re paying for it. I will tell you this, that if we’re successful in buying this property, we’ll be building a good sized building on it and there will be multiple companies involved in the construction of the facility which will entail a few million dollars flowing through your bank. That ought to give your VP and President a major hardon,” I assured him.

“Fuck, Josh. Wow. Let me know what you’re doing when you can tell me, and I’ll lay it on them and my interaction with you guys in putting it altogether. That should earn me some stripes,” Cliff said excitedly.

“Yep, and, if this thing works out the way it should, there just might be a space for a branch of your bank in the lobby of the building we intend to build. I suppose someone like you could manage a branch office in such a building,” I suggested.

“Shit, they’d love another branch someplace on campus if they could get it, but all the available spots are tied up. They’ve been on a university waiting list for space for several years. Shit they’d blow their loads over an opportunity like that,” Cliff replied.

“Well, we’ll give you the credit for negotiating for the space as it would really be a prime spot of for a branch bank. You might even get some dick up your sweet ass for pulling off something like that,” I suggested.

“Oh, hell, I’d get more than a dick up my ass. It’d be a big gold one too,” Cliff exclaimed. “But I love your dicks more than any others.”

“That’s sweet, but other than that boyfriend you left back home, our cocks are the only ones you’ve had since then, right?” I reminded him.

“Okay, but they’re the best also. Heavenly, I have to say, and I miss them terribly. We need to get together for some action and soon,” he somewhat pleaded. Jake just shook his head.

“Hey thanks for the heads-up on the account verification thing. That means there’s action going on with my offer to purchase. That helps me out a lot, Cliff. Sometimes you are invaluable in more ways than one,” I informed him. He smiled.

“Love to please. Would sure love to please those sweet cocks of yours also, anytime. The sooner the better. My asshole is so lonely, guys,” he said sadly. Jake and I grinned from ear to ear.

Jake and I told him we’d try to fix his lonely asshole sometime, but we were really busy today. He said he totally understood, and just really wanted to get out of the bank and hang out with us for a while, hoping to have lunch with us. He said we were an important enough client, his boss was happy to send him over. We told him in that case he needed to stop over more often, but we just might put him to work. Cliff thought that would be great. He marveled at the bar, having seen it for the first time. He thought it was beautiful, and would become a destination for everyone to see. We weren’t sure about that, once our reputation was known to the world, but then who knew. Eventually, he left us, giving us bro hugs as he departed. Cliff was a little strange, had a hot body, but kind of fun to know. We liked him anyway.

Trevor came by with a shit-eating grin. “Josh, do you think we could get Sandy to dance for us?” he asked.

“Jake and I kind of wondered the same thing. He seems to like showing off his stuff, and he didn’t mind showing all us guys last night. He might actually enjoy it, Trev,” I told him.

“I kind of think he might too. If he’d dance for ladies’ night he might get some hot dates out of it, get that big Willie of his into some hot pussy. You never know,” Trevor said smiling.

“I’m thinking you’re more interested in getting to know that Willie better, Trev. I kind of think you liked playing with that big rod last night,” I suggested.

“Can’t say that I wouldn’t want to try it. Can’t be any worse than Todd’s. Damn, Todd has a big dick when it’s trying to pry your ass apart. Felt so fucking good, but it’s an asshole spreader for sure,” Trevor remarked, rubbing his hand over his ass. Jake and I laughed. “Devin’s kind of quiet and shy. I guess being around Sandy, as crazy as he is, Devin kind of has to be the quiet one. I just wonder what he’s packing down there, and if we’ll ever get a chance to see it.”

“You never know. Still waters run deep, they say. I kind of think he’s the cutest of the two, more our style than Sandy, but I’m not sure he’s interested in guys, although he never talks about dating anyone. Kind of a loner in that respect,” I mentioned.

“Maybe that should be a conquest for you, Josh. You seem to be good at sniffing out those things. If anyone can find out, you can,” Trevor suggested. I laughed.

“As if we don’t have enough friends to care about and enjoy, Trev. I guess we’ll find out soon enough where his likes are, once we open this place. Everyone will certainly know our preferences at that point. I’m sure we’ll be getting a lot of questions. It’s going to be interesting, to say the least,” I added.

Just then, Ken came walking in. “Man, this place is almost ready to open. Wow, what a difference a couple of weeks has made. This looks fantastic,” Ken said as he looked around. “Guys, I think you’ve outdone yourself this time. I mean the one in the City was great and fun, but this is really fantastic. I love the bar, sitting out in the open, completely surrounded by barstools. Very ornate also. Looks like some great craftsmanship, but yet it’s not. Looks great though. Going to be a lot of beer flowing over the bar tops there,” Ken said as he looked around, amazed at what he saw.

“Yep, you and James might have to help us out working here just to keep up with the business,” I warned him. Ken laughed.

“Might be kind of fun. I’d probably have a boner half the time, if you have any dancers here like you had in the City. Some damn fine boys over there, Josh. I’m sure you’ll find some hot ones for this place also,” Ken said smiling.

“You ready to work your magic on the books and interfaces?” I asked him.

“Ready to go to work and make it all happen,” he said, anxiously. “Thad in the office?” he asked.

“Yep, and he’s ready for you anytime you want to get your hot little ass in there and set up the Tight Jock. One of our guys, Erin, is down there with our new manager that was a friend of ours. He worked at a competing gay bar there and knows his way around extremely well. His name is Jason. Erin will be back in a couple of weeks, but he’s helping out at the moment. They also have a thing going, which is kind of nice. I just hope it isn’t too traumatic when Erin has to come home,” I told him.

“Nice that you have guys there you know you can trust, and will take care of the business for you. It’d be tough trying to manage the business from afar when you weren’t sure who was minding the store for you,” Ken added. He was definitely right.

I followed Ken into the office. He got a hug from Thad. “Oh, and, by the way, Ken, Thad is now one of our shareholders. We replaced one of our other guys that wanted out with Thad. He is now official,” I proudly announced.

“Great news. Congratulations, Thad,” Ken said sticking out his hand to shake Thad’s, but pulling him in for a hug also.

“Thad has also joined our team in other ways as part of his initiation into our brotherhood,” I also informed Ken. Ken looked at me a little funny. “That means he has discovered the intimacy of male sex and his partnership has been officially consummated,” I added.

“Damn, Thad. You have come a long way. Congratulations on that feat also. So, you okay with everything?” Ken asked.

“Great, Ken. Couldn’t be better. I love these guys and they seem to love me also. I couldn’t be in a better spot. It’s great, all great,” Thad responded.

“Good deal. I think it’s wonderful, but I already know what Josh is like in that area. You couldn’t have someone love you more than these guys,” Ken assured him. Thad said he knew that as well, and smiled.

I got Ken situated at one of the corporate workstations, and he started working on setting up the accounts for the Tight Jock. I left him and Thad, and headed back to help the guys. I passed Devin on my way, who gave me another killer smile. Damn, that smile was infectious. I just wanted grab him and kiss him passionately, he was so cute with that smile of his. We were starting to arrange the tables and chairs as we were putting them together. The place was really starting to look complete. Andy and Trevor left us to work in the kitchen, testing out what equipment we kept and making sure the new stuff was properly installed. Chad had worked out an efficient layout for the kitchen. They were also putting together a list of food stuffs and utensils we’d need. A rather cute restaurant supply company sales rep had stopped by to work with them on setting up the kitchen. I was hoping it was the kitchen that was being set up and not the sales rep. Knowing Trevor, I was concerned for the guy.

Late morning, Jake and I got an unexpected guest who wanted to talk to us. It was Drey, of all people. He came wandering in and looked for us. Chad happened to see him first and sent him our way.

“Can I talk to the two of you?” Drey asked as he surprised Jake and me, coming up from behind us.

“Sure, Drey. Let’s go upstairs,” we told him, leading the way. He didn’t say a word as we walked upstairs to the apartment. We sat at the kitchen island.

“I know this is kind of awkward, and I hate to bother you with my problem, but Jim and I are arguing at the moment and not too civil to one another. I was hoping maybe you two could help us out,” he started off saying.

“How can we help?” I asked concerned, trying to remain neutral, but not sure Drey would be civil.

“I don’t know. We had a big argument last night, and he left and took some of his things. I’m not sure where he went, but I feel kind of bad about it in a way, and yet, I think I’m right about some of the things that we were arguing about,” Drey said somewhat remorseful, but not taking much of the blame, which disappointed me.

“Having a lovers quarrel are we?” I said, in a joking way, trying to lighten up the mood.

“We’re not lovers,” Drey fired back sharply. “Whatever gave you that idea? It’s not true, Josh, not true at all,” he said rather harshly.

“Easy, Drey, I was just kidding. Settle, would you. Why are you so uptight?” I asked, getting more concerned. He seemed to chill a little after that, realizing he way overreacted.

“Sorry, just a little stressed over the whole thing. Jim and I’ve been friends for some time. Hell, we’ve been almost inseparable for the last couple of years. We did everything together. We were really close bros. You know what I mean, kind of like you two. Now all of a sudden, it’s over and he’s gone? I mean this is ridiculous,” he said, somewhat exasperated.

“Although it’s none of our business, what seems to be the problem between the two of you?” Jake asked, trying to get him to admit to the problem. Drey hesitated for a moment, as if he was trying to think it through.

“Maybe we got a little too close, then things possibly got a little out of hand,” Drey stated.

“What do you mean, ‘out of hand’?” I asked this time.

“I don’t know. I think he gets a little jealous of me sometime. I try to keep that from happening, but sometimes, I don’t think he can help himself,” Drey commented. His comment was starting to piss me off.

“What is there that would make him jealous of you, Drey?” Jake asked, trying to pin him down.

“I don’t know. I date more than he does, and I think that bothers him. Hell, who knows. He may be crushing on me or something, and the fact I date women might piss him off. I get the feeling sometimes he might just care a little more about the male gender than the female gender, if you know what I mean,” Drey said a little sarcastically. I wanted to kick his ass at this point. Jake was waiting to see what I was going to say before he piled on, and waited for me to respond. “Just like last Sunday night at the natatorium in the steam room, Jake, when he tried to kiss you. He tried to kiss me one time and I told him if he tried that shit again, I’d kick his ass. You should have punched him in the mouth for trying to do that with you,” Drey said, adamantly.

“Seriously, Drey. I think kissing, after some of the other stuff we were doing, would be the least of our concerns. Jake thought it was kind of nice. You want to tell us Jake was out of line too?” I asked, putting him on the spot. He let up a little.

“No, hell no. Not saying Jake was out of line. I knew it was Jim all along. He’s different at times. I worry about that. A guy could get the wrong reputation for something like that,” Drey replied.

“I have news for you, Drey. A guy could get a worse reputation for sucking another guy’s cock than kissing another guy. Think about what you just said,” I warned him. He really didn’t know what to say. “Being around the two of you, we never got any impression you guys were anything more than jock bros, two great friends that are workout buddies and like to let off a little stress with a little male stimulation of one another, kind of like what we all did together, which if taken out of context, might not look too innocent either,” I added. He didn’t know quite what to think. “Drey, if you think it’s possible Jim has some deeper feelings for you, which in my book would be quite flattering, have you ever sat down and honestly talked with him about your feelings for one another? Like, if there could be anything more than fraternal love for one another, brother caring about brother?” I asked.

“I’ve tried to a few times, but he won’t level with me. He acts as if I’m crazy and he’s fine. It’s hard to get him to be honest with me,” Drey told us, somewhat nervously. “I just wish he could be honest with me.”

“Sounds like the two of you have some deep seated problems you need to work through. Kicking him out of your home together, probably isn’t a good way to delve deeply into resolving your problems,” I replied. He gave me somewhat of pissed off look.

“He left. I didn’t kick him out. Is that what he told you?” Drey asked, getting emotionally upset.

“Drey, he spent the night with us last night here in the apartment, having no place else to go, after, according to him, you told him you had the lease to the apartment in your name, and could kick his ass out anytime you wanted to. You thought he needed to go. Is the lease in your name?” I asked.

“Yes, but I didn’t mean for him to walk out like that. I was pissed at the time. I just thought it was better if we had some space between us and let our heads cool off. He spent the night here with you guys?” Drey asked, somewhat surprised.

“Drey, he didn’t have anywhere else to go. You basically threw him out of his home. Yes, we let him stay with us. He was upset and needed someone to talk to. We listened, just like we’re listening to you now,” I informed him.

“Oh, so he told you I was the asshole and he was the good guy, I suppose,” Drey responded, again getting upset and raising his voice.

“Actually, he didn’t seem that angry at you, Drey. He was hurt and disappointed more than anything. We could tell he really cares about you and thought the argument you had came out of nowhere for no reason. He was stunned there was even an argument at all, and couldn’t determine what the basis of the argument was. He said you went out on a date, all happy, and the next thing he knew, you were throwing him out of his apartment. The boy is in shock, really,” I wanted him to know. Again, Drey didn’t know quite what to say.

“I suppose he went to work this morning. Is he coming back to the apartment after work?” Drey asked.

“We suppose he’s coming back here until you guys can work out your problems. We just think he really wants to know what caused you to go off the deep end. Jake and I think, as great a friends as you two are, you really owe him an explanation, as he’s at a total loss,” I offered.

“FUCK!” he yelled angrily, slamming his fist down on the granite counter top. “I don’t know what the fuck’s the matter with him,” he said pissed off.

“You guys need a couples counseling or something?” Jake asked, being a little sarcastic, but trying also to be helpful.

“No, fuck no, we don’t need that,” Drey said, still upset. “We’re not gay. There is no romantic relationship there. That’s fucked up to even suggest such a thing,” Drey replied, still upset.

“I didn’t say anything about a gay relationship, Drey. Why, do you think there might be some deeper feelings there you guys need to work through. I mean it happens to the best of friends at times, not to be considered abnormal or anything. If there’s jealousy, and the friendship is strong enough, then sometimes counseling can help. It’s just having an independent intermediary to help you two work out issues between each other. Sometimes there are issues you don’t realize are even there, Drey, but they fester and cause problems. That’s all I was suggesting. No need getting upset about it. It can be helpful. Josh has stepped in and helped out some of his friends that were having problems with girlfriends or close friends. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It depends on whether the two want their issues to be resolved or could care less. That’s all,” Jake told him.

“Oh, I kind of get what you’re saying, but it seems really gay to have to go through something like that with someone you don’t even know. I mean, I don’t know whether I could do it or not. I doubt if Jim would even give it a chance,” Drey replied, having already made up his mind.

“You both have come to us with your problems with each other. We’ve somewhat heard both sides now, and, frankly, we still don’t have a clue what the argument was about or why there was one to begin with. We like you guys as friends. We hate seeing two great guys, as good friends as you are, be mad at each other, especially for some unknown reason. Doesn’t make any sense, nor should you guys let it go on. That’s crazy, Drey,” I said, noting he was listening to me. I got the feeling he was hoping for an answer to resolve the problem from me, but he was going to have to work for it, as far as I was concerned. “If it would help, and you wouldn’t mind airing your dirty jocks in front of Jake and me, we’d be willing to sit down with the two of you and possibly help you two get to the bottom of, and work through, your differences.” He did ponder on what I offered.

“What if Jim doesn’t want any part of this counseling thing you’re offering to do?” Drey asked.

“I don’t think Jim would have any problem with it, as he truly doesn’t have a clue what caused the argument. He was perfectly honest with us when he told us what happened. He’s worried about you, and that he hurt you in some way he has no idea how or why. I think he’d welcome the opportunity to work through this together with you, Drey. The two of you could possibly work through it together without us, which would be the ideal situation. But, if you think you need a neutral person asking questions to get a dialogue going, then maybe Jake and I could help, or you could use someone totally different. That would be up to you guys.” Drey put his head in his hands, and was thinking about it.

“Who’s going to ask Jim if he wants to do this?” Drey asked.

“I would suggest the two of you talk about it and, hey, if you can resolve everything yourselves, you don’t even need us. But, be totally honest with each other. Lay your feelings totally out there for each other so you truly know what you’re dealing with and aren’t just lying to one another to get a cease fire that only lasts until the next time it happens again. It doesn’t work if you can’t be honest with each other,” I replied.

“He’ll never be honest with me. I can just tell. Maybe it would be better if you guys helped out. I just think you might be more able to drag his shit out of him than I can. He just gets mad and storms off,” Drey remarked.

“Are you sure he stormed off or someone pushed him away?” I asked concerned. Drey wasn’t sure what to say.

“Well, is he coming home tonight?” Drey asked for the second time.

“Call him and ask him to come home. I think he needs an invitation to come back first. Otherwise, he believes he’s not welcome, and we’ll have an extra roommate for a while longer,” I told Drey.

“Why would you even let him stay with you guys. He’s not your friend. You don’t really know him at all,” Drey remarked.

“There’s where you’re wrong already, Drey, and that needs to change. We are your friends. Hell, the things we’ve done together kind of put us in the category of intimate friends. I’d say we are a lot closer to you two than we are with some of our other friends. Josh and I’ve always believed ‘a friend in need, is a friend in deed’. It may be corny, but it’s true. Those that are in need of us, we want to be there for them. We care, I guess. Maybe a little too much, but we care. You two are too close to lose your friendship. You should work hard to preserve it, because a friendship like that, doesn’t come along that often in this world. Think about how precious that really is, Drey. Don’t let it disappear,” Jake advised him.

“I guess I’ll see if I can talk to him. Maybe I’ll text him and see if he wants to come back,” he relented.

“Don’t text him, talk to him. Be a human friend and actually talk to him one on one, not through a tech device,” I warned. He gave ma a small smile.

“Okay, but I definitely think we’re going to need you guys to walk us through our differences. Maybe we’re both not mature enough or honest enough to ourselves about our own feelings, that we might need help getting there with someone like you two. It’s crazy you care enough to even get involved. I guess in a way, that’s being a pretty great friend. I can dig that,” Drey remarked.

“Good, then Jake and I can get our bed back. It was getting a little crowded with the three of us altogether. You thought the kissing was crazy. You should have been with us last night. Damn, if that wasn’t hot,” I joked, but Drey did not think that was funny.

“You guys all homo or something? What the fuck?” he said getting emotionally upset again.

“Easy, Drey. I was kidding. Jim had his own bed to go to. We have a couple of our guys out other places or not here yet, so we had plenty of room. It’s all cool. Jim was comfortable and fine. No worries, for Heaven’s sake,” I said, trying to settle him down.

“I don’t know. Sometimes, I think I wouldn’t put it past him to be a little on the fairy side, but maybe that’s just me,” Drey remarked.

“Here you go, judging him already and you haven’t worked through anything. Don’t do that, Drey. Give your buddy a chance. You know him better than anyone, so give him a chance. He might be concerned about you for all we know,” I suggested.

“Fuck that shit, man. I’m totally straight. I love pussy. I’m one straight jock. No dudes on my horizon,” Drey was more than happy to say.

“Yet, you suck your roommates dick. Yeh, that’s probably a good indication you’re totally straight. I’d say that’s what most straight guys do most of the time,” I said facetiously. He hung his head.

“Okay, so we stepped over the line a little to relieve a little tension and pressure from working out. Big deal,” he said shaking his head. “You guys do it also. In fact, some of your tactics are pretty damn hot also, when you think about it. Maybe Jim and I ought to be questioning the two of you,” he said, thinking about it.

“Let’s solve your problems first, then maybe we can talk about how we don’t have any at another time,” I said smiling. He just shook his head.

Drey finally got up, gave us bro hugs and said he’d stop by the store and talk to Jim on his way back to the apartment. We thought that would be an excellent idea. With Drey out the door and on his way, Jake and I discussed the situation.

“What do you think?” I asked Jake.

“Drey is probably the unreasonable one, and I don’t just think that because we know Jim is in love with him, but it’s possible, Drey is in love with Jim and just can’t admit it to himself he is, or if he does realize it, will not allow himself to accept those feelings. This could be very complicated, Josh. You sure you want to help them work through all this? What if it blows up in our faces?” Jake asked concerned.

“I guess we’ll find out. If nothing else, we might have a new roommate for a while. More labor for the bar,” I said smiling.

Just then I got a call on my cell. I recognized it was Bill. “Josh, we need to talk. Can you come over?” he asked concerned. Now that had me concerned. Good grief, what now, I thought.
 
Catching up the last chapters..

Gramps: thank God he's not sick (ww) and his blood still flows :wink: he and Josh may be a lot more similar then what we thought

Jim and Drey: I'm happy Jim found some help from our power couple in more ways and even in the arguing moment with Drey he's "lucky" there may be more hope for Drey tan for Drew (fingers crossed)

Devin and Sandy: what a fun evening with that wonderful live anatomy lesson :lol: let's hope for a major dancing role (hint hint hint) for Sandy in the future as soon as the #2 opens

Bill: even if I have yet to completely figure him out, let's hope for best for the land and for the character

And now, keep it coming funtimes ..|
 
Wow!!!!! Drey really is some piece of work. To assume and expect Jim to be home when he came back from his bad date so they could help each other relieve stress, as if Jim was able to predict how his date wound turn out is absurd.

The fact that Drey reached out to Josh and Jake for help made me feel like there was some hope, as long as he was trying to convince them that he was right until qoutes from Jim's point of view were thrown back at him he began to get really aggressive and agitated. After seeing Drey make an ass out of himself with our favorite power couple, I definitely feel like Jim was telling the truth about Drey being verbally and emotionally abusive even balling his hand into a fist as well as kicking him out of the house. The suggestion of talking it out like a couples therapy session was a really good idea, but with Drey not taking any accountability into the argument, Josh and Jake might have their hands full for quite some time.

That phone call with Bill is one big question mark, especially with the day Josh has had, I'm hoping it's good news and want to get paperwork signed off. At least one can hope.

Another Great chapter FT. Already got my ticket to continue the ride on this journey.
 
Not only am I fascinated with all of the various story lines within this Amazing story, I'm also intrigued by the multi-dimensional characters. And, yeah, some are real "Characters"! HA!

I am happy to see the return of Cliff. I was kinda wondering how he was doing. Also, waiting for him and Jordan to meet. Hmmm ...

Drey is certainly a "basket case". Another situation that'll be interesting to see how Josh and Jake manage.

I trust your holiday travels were safe, and enjoyable, FT! And, now that everyone is back to "normal", of course we're clambering for More! (No rest for the bent!)

HUGS, All! (*8*) :kiss:
Chaz :luv:
 
Hey, guys. Thanks for all the great comments. I particularly enjoyed the comments about Jim and Drey. Poor Josh and Jake get involved in so many relationships with various personalities, yet they are able to understand and try to help those that seek their help. They do have big hearts. I'm rather proud of them, if you couldn't tell. Just got back to the warm south from the cold north. Winter seems to have come early up there this year. Almost froze me chippies off and that's not a good thing. Seeing how everyone's caught up so far, except maybe BC, I'll lay another chapter on you. BC can catch up later as I'm sure you guys want to find out some things turn out. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Have fun with this next chapter. Huggs, FT
 
Chapter 254 – Seal the Deal and Family Matters

My head was still swimming with thoughts about Jim and Drey, and what was eating at their friendship, as I hurriedly made my way to Bill Atchison’s office to see what kind of a problem we had with this purchase now. Jake and I both knew Jim probably loved Drey. The question was, did Drey love Jim. We both had a concern, that if Drey did love Jim, would he allow himself to every enjoy a relationship like that or would he totally dismiss their friendship altogether. My thoughts kept going back to Dawson and Drew. At least Drew admitted to Dawson he was gay. Dawson had admitted to Drew he loved him and wanted to be with him, but was not willing to let the world know he was living as a gay man or involved in a gay relationship. The difference here was neither Jim or Drey had admitted anything to each other, and either one, probably couldn’t, no matter how much they might like to. This could be a tough one to get to the bottom of. Jim would be the easy one, but it might cost him his friendship overall with Drey. Jim had said, maybe it was time he moved on anyway if it was not to be. It was hard doing the things they did together and not taking it any further. I guess if we were successful enough to get to the counseling session, we all thought might work, we might find out a few things. I just had a sneaky suspicion Drey may take his feelings all the way to his grave, denying himself the love he should have had, but was too proud to accept. It was all heavy on my mind, until I got to Bill’s building, and I had to shift gears to being a tough negotiator.

Bill’s receptionist gave me the eye again, wondering why I only wore shorts and a t-shirt to meet with Bill who was in dress slacks and a dress shirt. If I only had a picture of Bill naked running up and down that creek that day we looked at the property. I was sure she’d get a kick out of that. But then, I needed to be professional at this point. She called and let Bill know I was there. He came and got me rather quickly, and we headed to his office.

“Okay, I’ve had the asshole whining and complaining all last night and this morning. I swear he’s driving me crazy,” Bill started off saying, as we got to his office, and he closed the door. “I told him I had been trying to get in touch with you, but you weren’t returning my calls. I told him I thought he blew his one and only chance. He called me a few names, saying I hadn’t done enough to convince you that his counter offer was one hell of a price and no idiot sitting on a piece of property that close to the university would sell it for what you offered to buy it for,” Bill stated, explaining his conversations with the owner.

“I got all that negotiation strategy, Bill, so where are we now with everything? You seemed concerned when you told me to get over here right away,” I said, growing somewhat impatient as to why I was there.

“This is our shot, Josh. We send him a our ‘last and final’ offer. I think he’ll be so relieved he’ll almost shit himself. I have the purchase offer all filled out and ready to sign. Just sign here on the dotted line and I’ll fax this off to him. Then we wait and find out if this dick head accepts it or not,” Bill replied.

“If he doesn’t, I will walk this time, Bill. I hope he understands that,” I said sternly.

“Relax, we’ve got this one,” he assured me. I was still skeptical, but signed the document, which he immediately faxed. Then Bill called the guy.

Bill dialed up the seller. “Listen, I practically had to get down on my hands and knees and blow the guy to get to this point. I tracked him down at his local business and wouldn’t leave until I talked him into this, his last and final offer. Don’t blow this now. This is your one and only chance to sell this bitch of a property. You need to move. Oh, and he only gave me an hour to have it accepted, as he said he should have cut this off yesterday. I also know for a fact he has a meeting later this afternoon to purchase another property, and get this, that property is level,” Bill said, laying it on thick. I had a hard time containing myself, as I wanted to laugh. “What? You should have the offer right there. If you’ll accept that, sign it and fax it back to me, I’ll get his ass in here in the next few minutes and put the agreement together. What? Well, you better get to a printer and print it out somewhere and sign it. I can’t help it if you aren’t in your office, but if you don’t sign that within the hour, this deal goes bye-bye. Got that?” Bill asked. He was smiling at me. “Shit, okay, I’ll take a picture of it on my phone and text it to you. You get it printed out somewhere, sign it and text it back to me. What the hell,” Bill said, a little exasperated. “Don’t worry about him, I have him on ice, believe me. I’ll get my end taken care of, you just get yours done and hurry while you’re at it. I’m holding onto this deal by a single thread,” Bill told him, then hung up.

“I think he’s happy that he got a half-million out of the deal, Josh. You got it, bro. We have this,” Bill said all excited. “Just took a little extra time and it all worked out,” he added, greatly relieved himself. “Where’s the contingency language you want to use for the formal buy/sell agreement?” he asked, almost giddily.

I handed Bill the language Jordan had drafted for me. He looked it over, mouthing the words silently as he read it quickly. “Okay, this is all very standard stuff. Interesting, your attorney included all mineral rights. Gees, let’s hope you strike gold or oil on the property,” Bill said chuckling. “I don’t think this has ever been a superfund site, so I think we’re okay on that count. Looks good. I’ll put this together to have ready when we get the signed offer back from the seller. He better put a move on it too,” Bill mumbled, as he continued to gather things up for the final formalized proposal with our language in it. “You know the dufus is going to want to run this by his lawyer when he gets the formalized agreement, don’t you?” Bill asked, looking over his reader glasses at me.

“Yes, Bill. I’m aware of that. I swear we’re not going to start digging tomorrow, but the sooner he gets back to us, the sooner we can get this purchase done and get on with it. I would assume he’d like some earnest money with the offer. I can arrange for say $10,000 in earnest money if that’s acceptable,” I offered.

“I think that will do it. Hell, he hasn’t seen a dime off this property in years. That ought to give him a boner for sure,” Bill said chuckling. “Speaking of boners, when are you and I going to get together and celebrate this major win here?” Bill asked with a devilish smile.

“Let’s get this baby put to bed first, and then we’ll discuss dick terms. Remember, I’m a hard negotiator,” I reminded him.

“OOO, I like the way you talk,” Bill replied. Just then he got a ding on his phone. We had the offer signed by the seller. We had a deal at this point, contingent upon our formalized agreement. Bill jumped up and hugged me. “Feels kind of good, Bill. I think you’re hard already,” I teased.

“Damn, right I am. Fuck, looking at you for an hour and wanting that cock of yours in the worst way, what’d you expect me to be?” he chided. I gave him a quick kiss and told him congratulations. He seemed to like that.

“Okay, let’s print this rather crude document out and preserve it for posterity. I told him the original would be in overnight mail tonight and he could overnight it back to me, but for the meantime, this photo copy will do fine. It’s good and legal,” Bill exclaimed. Bill sent it to his printer and printed several copies, giving me two copies, one for Jordan and one for me. “Okay, let’s fax this formalized agreement to him, while we’re here together, and then I think we’re done,” Bill said gleefully.

“Wow, we finally did it. Amazing,” I said thinking about it.

“So, now are you going to tell me what you’re building on that property?” Bill asked curiously.

“Let’s wait until the money has been transferred and I have the deed. Then I’ll let you know,” I told him, winking at him. “Let’s just say it’s going to be a nice addition to the area. You’ll appreciate it. If you’d like to know, the structure will cost several million dollars, just to give your dick a little thrill,” I teased.

“Damn, Josh. You guys are serious. I figured it’d be another pub or something like the one your opening up a few blocks over. You’ve got something serious planned for this land. Can’t wait to find out what it is and what it’s going to look like. I guess we’re going to have to sleep together for me to find out. You can tell me during some pillow talk,” Bill teased.

“Good luck with that, Bill. I’m a little crazy, and so are you. But I’m not that crazy. Remember, I do have a boyfriend and he’s on the gymnastics team and built. You might want to keep that in mind,” I chided.

“OOO, I like. Maybe we could have a threesome sometime. We have to keep all this on the QT though. Got my reputation to uphold. I trust you though. I don’t know why, but I do trust you,” he said seriously.

“Thanks, Bill. Same here. It’ll be a good relationship. I’m sure of that. There’ll be other properties to pursue also, so I may just have to get you involved. Can you handle property all over the state?” I asked.

“Yep, I’m licensed in this state and all the contiguous states around us. Plus, if you need something in Florida, or say Texas, I have corresponding brokers I can work with in just about any state. I can represent you there, but have them handle the paperwork. I’m your man, Josh, in more ways than one,” he said smiling.

“Yes, you are, Bill. But, that’s good to know. We operate primarily out of here and the City. Most of what I’ll be doing is going to be out of here, so you’re handy for that. This could work out rather well, the more I think about it. This first property was a test and you seemed to take hold and get things done. I appreciate that, even if the incentive was rather unorthodox,” I said winking at him.

“Well, business is business, but the incentive, that was icing on the cake, so to speak,” Bill replied.

“I gotta run. Now that you have this thing in motion, I have a million things to do. Let me know when you want to have the closing. We can close anytime after we finish the due diligence and get preliminary approvals on our building from the city building permit department. You can set a preliminary closing date for 30 days from now. I am told that should be plenty of time for the plan reviews by the permit department. So, swing your ass into gear, and let’s get this thing done,” I said, somewhat excited. Bill came and gave me a big hug, telling me we got this.

Bill walked out with me to his small waiting room. He told the receptionist that I was one of the shrewdest negotiators he’d ever worked with, and I just bought a property he’d been trying to sell for years to build a multi-million dollar building on it. She was somewhat blown away by the news, not having any idea this young kid in shorts and a t-shirt could spend that kind of money. I almost got a boner thinking about it myself.

After saying my goodbyes, I ran over to Buzz’s office. His sister told me to go in, as he was just working on some of our stuff. I stood at the doorway to his big planning room office and stared at him. “Well, any news?” he asked cautiously.

“We got it, Buzz. We actually got it,” I said excitedly. He came running over to me and picked me up in a big hug, then set me back down again, still hugging me, his cheek up against mine, running his hands up and down my back with excitement. “Wow, that felt kind of good,” I told him as he finally let me go, but held onto my arms, leaning back, looking at me with a the biggest smile. “I think I felt an erection from that big dick of yours.

“Well if anything could get me hard these days, what you just told me could do the trick. This is fantastic, Josh. I’m overjoyed. We need to celebrate,” he said excitedly. He yelled out to his sister that we got the land and the building was a go, once we got the permits. She let out a small squeal of excitement and came in and gave me a hug also.

“You don’t know how excited this makes all of us feel, Josh. Buzz has worked his heart out on this project. He thinks you guys are the greatest, and wants to work with you all in the worst way. He’s just so excited,” she said, then headed off to grab a ringing phone.

“Buzz, I need a portfolio of the plot plan of the land, the elevations, a copy of the drawing of the building on the land as it will look when it’s done and then another copy of the portfolio you prepared for us with all the details in it, layouts, floor plans, materials, cost projections, etc. Then, is there anyway to digitize that to send it via e-mail?” I asked.

“Here,” he said, reaching over his desk to grab something, then handing me a thumbdrive. You can zip this and send it via e-mail. I prepare this for the permit department. Saves a ton of paper and it’s easier to work with on a computer. I just made the portfolios for you guys for that meeting and to take with you then, but the full monte is all on this thumbdrive,” he told me. I grabbed him and hugged him one more time, pleasantly surprising him. He seemed to really like my hug. “Glad I could help,” he said smiling, enjoying the more sensuous hug.

“You have no idea. I need to send this to our Chairman and let him feast his eyes on all of this. He’s going to love this, I can assure you, Buzz. You did a fantastic job on all of this. I can’t wait to see it built,” I said, still feeling the excitement.

“That makes two of us. We’ll I’d say you, Jake, Todd, Chad and me are going to be joined at the hip for a couple of years, but that ain’t all bad. Couldn’t do anything more exciting than to build something as extraordinary as this, working with great guys like you all. It’s gong to be fun and extremely rewarding at the same time,” Buzz said happily.

“Yeh, well we get a little crazy at times, as I’m sure you’ve seen some evidence of already, but we’re a caring group for our friends, and we cherish the hell out of them, so you just joined the family, so to speak. I hope we don’t corrupt you too much through all of this,” I teased.

“Hey, I probably need corrupting some, having led such a dull life up to now. You guys have put the excitement back into my career. I needed this in the worst way, Josh. I really did. I was beginning to think I was destined for tiny jobs and nothing that my talents wanted to do. This building would be the envy of some of the largest architects in the country. You gave me that opportunity. I can’t love you enough for that, Josh. All you guys. Hell, I’m all yours now. You’ve got me for good,” Buzz replied, still smiling from ear to ear.

“Careful how you say that. We might take that literally, knowing this group,” I warned. He hugged me again and said anyway I wanted him. I wasn’t sure he knew the extent of what that meant, but I was sure he cared enough about us at this point, with his life having catapulted into national fame in the architect world, that he’d be happy to do just about anything with us to show his appreciation and gratitude. Me, I just wanted to see him naked, but I’d take him anyway I could get him.

“I’ve got everything prepared for the permit division and have alerted them I need priority handling on the approvals. Once you get a signed confirmed contract on the land, I’ll submit the plans to the permit department. Don’t forget, I work with those guys over there and have to do a lot of the review process myself for them. Because I prepared all the plans this time and I’m submitting them, they are going to have to do the work for themselves this time. It might take them a little longer for the process, but I’ll keep my foot up their ass everyday until we get it,” Buzz assured me.

“The contract is going back and forth as we speak. Bill Atchison will let me know when he gets the formal buy/sell agreement back from the seller. That starts the clock on this thing. We set a tentative closing date 30 days out. That give you enough time?” I asked again.

“Should be more than enough. I’ll let you know if we get tight on time and we can ask for an extension. I don’t think there were many buyers bidding on that property, since you’re the only one in years to make an offer on it,” Buzz said jokingly. I had to agree wholeheartedly.

“Okay, buddy. Now you have a big building to go along with that supposedly big dick of yours. You should be riding high from here on out,” I teased. Buzz just grinned and grinned.

“You guys and your bugging me about my big dick. I have to show you sometime that it isn’t all that big. I kind of think Todd has me beat hands down,” Buzz replied.

“Not so sure, Buzz. Maybe after a few beers sometime we’ll actually have the chance to find out. You think?” I asked curiously.

“I’m sure it’ll happen sometime, as close as we all are going to be with each other,” Buzz admitted. I laughed.

I told him I needed to go tell the others, and would let him know the second we got the signed formal buy/sell agreement back from the seller. He thanked me over and over for that. We gave each other another extended embrace. “I’m so excited right now, I could just kiss you,” he whispered in my ear as we hugged tightly.

“You’re more than welcome to anytime, Buzz. Don’t ever be afraid to do that. We’re family now,” I assured him. He moved his head back from me, looked me in the eyes, not sure what to do, so I did it for him. I kissed him on the lips. It surprised him, but then he smiled and hugged me tightly again, his cheek up against mine. “Damn, I think I liked that, Josh,” he said almost giggling. I patted him on his ass and told him I would see him soon. He smiled and waved at me, as I went out his door and waved back at him.

Todd and Chad were the first ones I saw and told the good news, when I got back to the bar. They each picked me up and hugged me, excitedly. I got hugged and kissed. I didn’t realize it but George and Doug saw Todd and Chad hug me and kiss me. I swear their eyes almost bugged out of their heads.

“Hey dumbshits, Josh just secured your jobs and got you a raise for at least two more years of your lives. I thought I might have to lay you off after this job, but now, I can keep your sorry asses,” Todd told George and Doug. They both rushed me and hugged me tightly also. I didn’t get kissed, but I did enjoy the hugs.

I saw Jake back by the dressing room door, at the back of the stage. I went running to him, yelling at him we got the land. He picked me up in his arms and twirled me around, then kissed me passionately and long. I wanted to melt in his arms. We got a little heavy in our kissing, but we were too excited to stop, both overly excited. “You’re getting me excited, you know,” I told him, so he finally let me loose. I told him what all took place and that I had stopped by and told Buzz it was a go, and how excited he was. Jake just kept looking at me with the biggest grin on his face, then he went in for another passionate kiss, getting me all horned up. I grabbed his ass cheeks and squeezed them as our tongues battled each other’s mouths. We were somewhat panting when we came up for air. “Damn, I love you, Jake,” I told him. He told me how proud he was of me and how much he loved me. Then I swatted him on his ass and told him to get to work, as we had a ton of work to do. Off he went, almost skipping as he did.

I turned around to walk across the stage and bumped into a ladder. I looked up and there was Devin looking down at me with a big smile. Then he came down the ladder. It hit me he must have been there the entire time and saw and heard Jake and me down below him.

“So, you were able to get the land for your big project, Josh?” Devin asked, not wanting to embarrass me by letting me know he saw Jake and me.

“Yes, Devin. We did. Now you’ll have plenty of work to do in the not too distant future and your company will grow also. And, you should make a lot of money on this deal, enough to secure your future and keep Sandy too,” I said smiling. Devin grabbed me and hugged me also, but quickly.

“I’m so excited for you, Josh. I really am. And, I can’t thank you enough for allowing Sandy and I to work for you on this next project. We’re so indebted to you. I can’t thank you enough,” he said over and over.

“Uh, this is kind of embarrassing, but did you see Jake and me below you just a few minutes ago?” I asked, as we walked into the dressing room from the stage. Devin blushed.

“Uh, I kind of couldn’t help but see the two of you, Josh. I didn’t mean to spy on you, but you were so excited and the news got me all excited, I couldn’t help it. I won’t tell anyone though. You know how much I think of both of you. I care about the two of you very much, and you’ve been so good to me and Sandy. You just two wonderful guys, guys, I’d love to call my closest and dearest friends,” he said, trying to avoid, making the incident he saw, embarrassing me.

“Did that gross you out of anything?” I had to ask.

“Gross me out? Hell no. To tell you the truth, Josh, I thought it was beautiful, two guys expressing their love for one another. I think it was more than beautiful. It touched my heart, if you really want to know. I just wish I had someone to kiss me like the two of you kissed each other,” he said thoughtfully. I looked him in his beautiful eyes and pulled his head to mine and kissed him passionately. We did this at least four times before we could stop kissing each other. “Wow. I didn’t deserve that, but I sure do treasure what just happened, Josh. You are one beautiful person with a heart of gold. You don’t owe me a thing, and yet you treated me like you loved me. I’m blown away,” he said nervously.

“I care about you, Devin. You’re such a great guy and deserve a break, having to struggle up to now and making sure that Sandy is taken care of and looked after. He needs a big brother like you to look after him. You do it selflessly. That touches my heart, if you really want to know. I really care about you, and am glad you’re becoming part of our team. You belong with us, if you can put up with us, that is,” I said smiling.

“Oh, Josh, you don’t know how much that means to me. Sandy can be a handful and he’s terribly straight, but he’s good people. I love having him around and working with me. You are just the most wonderful guy ever. I don’t want to distract you from who you care about and love, but you can kiss me like you just did anytime you want to. I never have that happen, and I love it so much,” he said regretfully.

“Well, we’ll just have to make sure you get kissed once in a while. Have you done anything else with guys before, not that it’s any of my business,” I asked him.

“Yes, a long time ago. I thought that part of my life was over, but I miss a wonderful friend that I was intimate with, and haven’t let a soul know about any of that. I don’t know why I’m telling you this now. But, I have, and I don’t regret one minute of it either. I loved my friend. I miss him so much,” Devin told me.

“Why aren’t you two together now, if you don’t mind me asking.” Devin teared up, got nervous, then told me that his boyfriend, Randy, had been killed in Afghanistan doing a stint in the Army. He said he wasn’t supposed to be in a combat role, but their engineering group was attacked one night, and his friend was killed in the attack. Now Devin was sobbing, as he told me the story. I grabbed him and hugged him tightly.

“That was a few years ago. I guess you get over it in time,” he said. “I still have trouble with it, but I can’t change any of it. I never found, or wanted to find, anyone else after that,” he said, then fumbled in his shorts to get his wallet out to show me a picture of his beloved Randy. He was beautiful, I had to admit. I was sure he was a great person as well, having loved Devin like he did and Devin loving him.

“I am so sorry, Devin. That’s horrible what happened. You’re such a loving person,” I told him, then hugged him tightly again, kissing him on the cheek as I held him to me. “I tell you what though, you just became an extra special close friend of mine and Jake’s. The two of us are here for you any way you need us. If you need to talk to us about anything, we’re here for you. If you get horny and need to scratch an itch, we’re here for you also in that regard. We have to keep our friends happy, and you’re one of the special ones,” I assured him. We held each other tight.

“I’ve never shared anything about my boyfriend with anyone but Sandy and you now, Josh. I was so depressed a few months ago, around the time of his birthday. Sandy knew something was up and tried to comfort me. He finally got me to tell him what happened. I thought he’d be pissed to know I was involved in a physical and loving relationship with another man, but he just held me and comforted me. He told me he loved me and he didn’t care if I was gay or not, he truly loved me. That was true what I told you guys last night, where he comes into my room at times and just cuddles with me, because he knows it makes me feel good. Hell, he’s even let me blow him before. He teased me into it one night, begging me to do it. I refused at first, but then he said he needed me to give him a blowjob, because he needed to compare a woman to a guy. He told me I gave the best blow jobs by far. Can you believe that?” Devin said, feeling better now.

“Guys do give the best blowjobs, Devin. We all know that,” I assured him. He smiled and chuckled.

“Sure we do, Josh. Sandy just humors me, and he enjoys the attention I think and the limited intimacy between us that way. I never push, but when he thinks I’m depressed or a little down, he’s very thoughtful that way, and says he’s horny and desperately needs my attention or his balls are going to blow. Hey, who wouldn’t love sucking a cock like he has. It’s pretty hot. I was kind of depressed one night and he even cancelled a date to be with me, saying he just wasn’t into putting up with a chic that night and he felt like he needed a real blowjob from the best out there. He’s so cute when he’s lying like that, but so thoughtful also. You have to love him. I do anyway, but know he loves his chics also. We make a great team, I guess you could say,” Devin said, somewhat lost in his thoughts.

“Well now, you have an even larger team. Jake and I are going to have to comfort you some night, and get you back in the action again. It’ll be our little secret. Sandy doesn’t even have to know. We don’t want him getting jealous and break up the bromance between you two. We wouldn’t want that,” I told him.

“He’d probably feel grateful if you did, Josh. I’m sure there are times he’d rather have his cock in a pussy and not in his friend’s mouth, but he’d never tell me that. I mean it doesn’t happen all that often, maybe once a month or so, sometimes more depending on what he has going on, or if I get depressed for some reason,” Devin admitted.

“Once a month. Damn, Devin. You need more action than that, boy. We have got to get you back in the game. Let me work on that,” I said enthusiastically. His face lit up.

“Thanks for being so understanding, Josh. Thanks for all you’ve done for me also. I could easily fall in love with you, you know that. That’s not to be, but I will cherish being your friend. That I can promise you,” he said sincerely. I grabbed him one more time and hugged him, then kissed him a little more passionately.

“Well, I’d love to do this all day long, but I guess I better get to work. Just know that Jake and I will care about you as our special friend, and we’re here for you anytime you need us for anything, Devin,” I said patting him on his ass as we departed. He told me he loved me for that offer.

I found Allen and OBB, and filled them in on the acceptance of our offer. They were excited also. I made my way to the kitchen and told Andy and Trevor what happened. Trevor was so excited he jumped into my arms and kissed me. “Easy, big guy, you’ll get me all excited,” I told him.

“That was the plan. I love it when you get excited and that hot cock of yours swells up to fill up my hole. Damn, Josh, it’s been awhile. You’re going to have to make yourself and Jake more available to our hungry holes. Andy’s isn’t so hungry because I fill his up almost every night. I will say, he does return the favor, and does a damn good job of it also. No regrets there, but you and Jake were my firsts and, well, I still love the feel of your cocks in my ass. Damn, how I love the feel of those boners. Andy does too, by the way. We cannot neglect him either. We need an appointment to get our asses taken care of and we don’t want an audience like at Todd and Chad’s. Something a little more intimate would be kind of nice, actually,” Trevor said wishfully.

“I didn’t know you were missing our dicks, Trev. Your ass gets hungry, you need to say something. Jake and I’ll have to work our way through the forest down there, but your hairy ass is rather exciting to my cock and my tongue, if you really want to know,” I teased.

“Oh, I know alright. I’ll never forget the times you and Jake plugged me good. Damn, it felt so amazing. Andy has that same effect on me also, but he likes bottoming most of the time, and my ass gets a little hungry. I think you need to feed it and soon,” Trevor pleaded.

“We can do that, Trev. We need to set something up. You can stay here some night if you’d like, or at least long enough to feed your ass,” I suggested.

“Could do, I guess. Andy and I’ll talk about it, and see what we can come up with. We should spend the night at the suite at the ranch with all the crazy amenities there. Now that would be a real treat,” Trevor said smiling.

“Never thought about that, but I don’t know when we’ll ever be back over there again. Hopefully, Stoney will come back sometime in the not too distant future. Speaking of which, I need to send him a zip file of the entire dormitory project. Gotta run, guys, but keep those asses of yours hot and ready to go. We’ll find time to get together and have some fun,” I promised. I kissed Trevor one more time, sticking my hands down inside his underwear over his hairy ass cheeks and even probing his hairy hole with my middle finger sending a thrill through his entire body.

“Okay, now you made me hard and you have to fuck me right here and now,” he chided.

“What in the kitchen? How sanitary would that be?” I joked.

“It’s all stainless steel. It cleans up easy,” he said, laying back on a preparation table, and spreading his legs. I leaned between his legs and massaged his hard cock, running my hand up through his shorts leg, under his underwear, until I got to his bare cock and hairy balls, as I kissed him passionately. Trevor shoved his shorts down freeing his cock, letting it spring to full attention. I couldn’t resist sucking it, if only for a few moments, with Andy looking on. I ran my tongue around the head of his penis, causing him to leak pre-cum, and let it drool down the side of his ridged cock. Trevor did have a nice dick, no doubt about it. I deep throated him a couple of times, then ran my tongue around his hairy balls for the thrill of it. Then I came off him and stood up.

“Andy, your boy is in need, and I have to go to work. Finish him off, would you,” I told him as I got myself under control.

“You can’t leave me like this, Josh. That’s mean, and I mean, MEAN!” he yelled at me. I leaned in and kissed him. He pulled my head to his in a tight sensuous kiss.

“I gotta go, lover boy. Andy’ll take care of you. He loves you. He won’t let you suffer,” I told him smiling. I grabbed Andy and kissed him hard and sensually.

“Wow, Josh. Damn, I wish you could hang around for a few more minutes and take care of both of us,” Andy said wishfully.

“I gotta get the whole dormitory package off to Stoney, guys. Ken is in the office waiting to see me also. He’s been working on the Florida bar all day. You can fill in for me, Andy. Take care of your boy, and Jake and I’ll take care of both of you later. We won’t forget you,” I promised.

“Just so you don’t. We need a little Josh and Jake time. We miss that,” Andy stated.

“Yeh, I can’t believe you’re leaving me here half naked on a stainless steel slab with my cock hard and leaking pre-cum, and my ass begging for a cock,” Trevor said stressfully.

“You love every minute of it, Trev. Be sure and wipe everything down when you’re done. Don’t’ need any extra DNA on the prep table when the inspector comes to check it out,” I told them. Andy laughed.

“Andy, please. My balls are getting cold and my dick and ass need attention. Hurry since Mr. Bigshot doesn’t have time for us anymore,” Trevor said sarcastically, but with a sense of humor to it.

“Love you, Trev!” I said, as I exited the kitchen on my way to the office. Well, that was fun, I thought to myself, but I also thought it was a little naughty. Trevor would recover once Andy got his cock in Trevor’s ass, I was sure.

I told Thad and Ken about the acceptance of our offer for the land purchase. Thad jumped into my arms and kissed me passionately. “Damn, I’ve been getting kisses all afternoon delivering good news. I need to do this more often,” I remarked.

“Well, since you’er in the mood for giving out kisses, I’ll take one,” Ken said, as he embraced me and kissed me passionately also.

“Wow, that was kind of hot,” Thad said, watching Ken and I kiss.

“You think that was hot, Thad, you should see the nice cock and ass on this guy,” I said, referring to Ken. Ken just shook his head. “You can kiss Ken also. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind,’ I added. Thad wasn’t sure what to do. Ken helped him out by hugging him, then going in for a sensual kiss, long and hard, much tongue involved. I thought I was going to have to throw cold water on them to cool them down.

“Fuck, now that was hot,” Thad said, breaking apart finally.

“You think his mouth was hot, Thad, you should suck on his cock or lick his ass. Now, that’s hot,” I told him, licking my lips. Ken was slightly embarrassed, and grinned. “And, Ken, you should see the hot ass and cock Thad has to offer. You two should really get acquainted with the areas you haven’t discovered on each other. I’m telling you, the two of you would be sizzling together,” I assured them both.

“Josh, you’re crazy,” Ken finally found his voice to say. “Thad can do much better than me. Afterall, he has you. That’s way far better than me,” Ken tried to say.

“Not so sure about that, Ken. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, Thad,” I said winking at Thad.

“Okay, I think I need to get back to work,” Ken informed us both. I pinched his hot little ass, causing him to look over his shoulder and shake his head at me. “You know, you and Jake need to come by sometime and teach James and me more of your wonderful hot tricks, Josh. Afterall, I’ve learned most of what I know from you. Even James admitted he never knew passion before, like he felt from you. You’re the master, buddy. Don’t let him kid you, Thad. Josh has it all,” Ken remarked, then buried himself in work again. I could tell the wheels were turning in Thad’s head.

I downloaded all the files on the thumbdrive, Buzz had given me, and put them in a special folder on one of the corporate PC’s. Then I sent Stoney an update on where we were with the property, telling him the seller had accepted our offer, but we were now in the process of working through the contingencies and it might be a few weeks before we got through that process. I told him I had attached a plot plan, the drawings of the building on this particular property, the layout of the various options for rooms on the different floors, the amenities centers we would offer, and the breakdown of costs and potential revenue generated with various levels of occupancy. I told him the name of the building would be in his honor, ‘Stoney Hall’, to be a pillar of University for decades to come. I thought he might get a kick out of that. Then I told him, Jake, Greer and I missed him terribly and it was about time he came home to get involved again. It was tough going without him, hoping that would flatter him enough to want to come home. I also told him the Tight Jock financials would be online shortly and the bar was doing well under Jason’s management along with Erin’s help. I also told him that Greer missed him terribly, and would he please give him a call just to talk to him sometime soon, to let Greer hear his voice and know he was okay. I told him we needed to hear from him, as it was weird not talking to him. I kind of gave him hell, but was genuinely caring in the way I did it. I knew Stoney would understand what I was trying to say. I pushed ‘send’ and hoped I’d hear something from him in a couple of days, when he had time to review everything.

I was sitting there working on something else, and got a response back from Stoney already. He must have been at a computer at the time I sent the e-mail, as fast as he responded. All it said was ‘Congratulations! You are truly the winner I knew you to be.’ I thought to myself, okay, thanks for that accolade, but call me and Greer, damnit. Let us know where you are and what you’re doing. I guess I had to settle for what I got at the moment, but hoped he would elaborate on the project, once he had a chance to see it all and study it, realizing I kind of overwhelmed him with information at the moment.

I picked up my phone and gave Jordan a call to let him know our final offer price for the land and the wheels were in motion. He was excited to hear from me. Realizing Ken and Thad were there with me in the office, I walked outside the office to continue the call.

“Great, Josh. I knew this was going to happen. I told you it would. You played it exactly the right way, buddy. Let me know when you get the formal buy/sell agreement signed and e-mail me a copy for the file. I’ll start working on the closing documents for the purchase. Also, ask your contractor for a good surveyor to survey the land. We’ll need that done before closing. Also, I’ll do research on the parcel to make sure there’re no liens on the property and all the taxes are up to date. Get your Bill guy to put together a closing HUD statement outlining all the costs involved for the closing. I’ll look it over when he gets it finished and see if there are any irregularities to what he’s doing,” Jordan said, all official like.

“You didn’t even tell me you loved me, and already you loaded me up with work. Do I need to come over to your apartment and fuck that hot ass of yours?” I asked.

“Good grief, Josh. Okay, I’m sorry. You know I love you. Hell, I get horny every time I talk to you and tell you that. I have to be careful where I am when I tell you things like that. I was just trying to run interference on everything we need to do for a quick closing. Sorry, I guess I should have told you how much I love you before I ever started. But then, I’m trying desperately not to fixate on you as the love of my life, but rather my dearest friend, with certain benefits we will never describe on paper in legal terms,” he stated. I had to laugh.

“Okay, Mr. Attorney. I get it. But you can tell me you love me anytime you want. I like the sound of that, and I deeply love you, so there,” I said firmly. Jordan chuckled.

“You are impossible, but impossible not to love, Josh. Gawd, I wish I had you all to myself, but I’ll settle for as much of you as I can get when I can get it. For that, I am truly blessed,” Jordan confessed.

“Just for shits and giggles, what color of underwear are you wearing?” I asked. I thought he was going to crack up on the other end, presumably in his office.

“Seriously? We’re talking about a multi-million dollar deal, the land being one of the most important components, and you’re curious about the color of my underwear. To tell you the truth, I never looked when I put them on in the dark this morning. Let me see,” he said pausing. I could hear him fumbling with his dress slacks and belt. “I believe they are purple, Josh. Does that get me laid tonight?” he asked, chuckling.

“Nope, but it could get you kissed,” I replied. “Purpled says you’re a little unsure about something, and might need a little reassuring. Sex just might help to reassure you,” I teased.

“Yeh, I got it. I’m just grateful you didn’t ask my admin. By the way, when we finally set up an office somewhere, is there enough money in the budget to get an admin. I’d love to hire the one I have. She’s great, Josh, extremely efficient,” he informed me.

“Not to be sexist, but don’t you want a hot guy in tight pants that wants to suck your cock every chance he gets?” I asked.

“Now, that would be the last thing I’d need in an administrative assistant, Josh. You are counting on me getting some work done, I would hope. What you described would be a complete and utter distraction, not really good for business,” Jordan informed me. I had to laugh.

“You know I’m teasing you, Jord. You’re all business and we need to lighten you up some. I definitely know how to fire you up, but I need to lighten you up some. By the way, did you tell anyone about joining the Ten Mile High club?” I asked.

“I can’t tell anyone about that. Good grief, Josh. Beside the fact that your two pilots know about it, and Tom has actually seen me naked with cum on my body, those two are the only ones who will ever know about it, and frankly that’s too many already. I mean, how humiliating and embarrassing is that? I suppose you had to tell Jake about it also, making it even worse,” Jordan replied.

“Jake thought it was cool, but he’s jealous you and I had the experience before he and I did,” I informed Jordan.

“Now, see, you went and hurt his feelings. That’s terrible, Josh. Now, I’ll never be able to face him again.”

“Relax, Jord. Jake’s cool with it. I lied about being jealous. I think he’d rather have it be you and him instead of me and him,” I said, to try to make Jordan feel better.

“Now we know that’s a big lie, Josh. You’re so bad, but I guess, that’s one of the reasons I care about you so much. I’m still dreaming about the night you spent at my apartment. Oh, and Carol has never been the same since she saw you leave the apartment the next morning. She quit bugging me for sex. I guess she might actually think I’m gay. Don’t know what you said to her that morning, but she’s steered clear of me ever since,” Jordan informed me. I had to laugh.

“Let her think what she wants to think. The whole apartment complex thinks she’s crazy anyway. You’re good, Jord. So, what do I need to do now regarding the purchase of the property?” I asked, getting serious finally.

“You’ll need to authorize the earnest money deposit you agreed to, and give Bill a cashier’s check for it. You can take care of that with your banker friend,” Jordan told me.

“Favors like that might require I have to fuck him, Jord. He’s one needy bottom, and informed me earlier today his ass was lonely. I guess I can ask him for a cashier’s check without getting my dick dirty,” I replied. Jordan laughed again.

“Okay, you work it out however, and spare me the details. Send me the executed formal buy/sell agreement when you get it. Call me if you need anything in the meantime,” he said. Then he told me he really did love me and to take care. He hoped to see me sometime soon if I had time. I told him Jake and I would definitely make time for him in our lives. That seemed to make him happy.

Before going up for beer at the end of the day, Jim stopped by to see Jake and me. “How are things?” Jake asked him. Your buddy stop by to see you today at work?” Jake asked.

“Yep, he did. He was a little nervous and standoffish at first, just trying like hell to make some kind of small talk. I finally asked him what was on his mind, because, as far as I was concerned, I didn’t think we were friends any longer. He told me that wasn’t true, but thought we needed to sit down and talk things through. I reminded him I had tried to do that the night he threw me out. He did kind of apologize somewhat for that, although it wasn’t much of an apology. Then he wanted to know why I had to go and bug you guys about our problems. I told him I was just trying to figure out what went wrong and you guys were the only friends I had. I told him you were very helpful, and cared enough about me to give me a place to sleep for the night. Then I told him I guess I was still staying with you guys until I found another apartment to rent on my own. I wished him good luck paying the full rent on the apartment we had. He got a little testy at that point and said throwing me out was a mistake. I wanted to tell him it sure was, as I was never coming back, and for him to have fun paying the full rent, but I waited to see if there was anything else to his ‘mistake’. He said he’d like it if I came back, and tried to work things out. I told him, as far as I was concerned, there was nothing to work out, as he hadn’t given me any indication as to what he was so upset about. Then he said just to come back and we’d talk about it later. He told me he had been to see you guys also and what you suggested about getting together with you two and working through our differences. I admitted to him you had been helpful to me already, and I felt better, but he needed to come clean with what that hell bug he had up his ass or there was no sense in me coming back to the apartment. Then he said he’d try, and gave me a stupid bro hug when I wanted a full on hug. He just doesn’t get it. Frankly, I don’t think he ever will, guys, but we’ll try to do the counseling thing with you two and see how that goes. Maybe you can get it out of him what he needs out of our relationship. He can’t seem to open up to me,” Jim said, giving us the Cliff Notes version on his whole conversation with Drey.

“So are you going back to the apartment? You know you’re welcome to stay here if you need to, Jim,” Jake told him.

“I guess I’ll try it and see if it works. Don’t give up your spare bed for a couple of days anyway. I may still need it. I’m not taking anymore of his shit. I’m not,” he said getting a little animated when he said it. Jake patted him on his back.

“Jim, you have an idea who you are, and you’re going to need friends of the same mindset. Eventually, Drey is going to know your true feelings and he’s either going to accept who you are, and decide whether he can still be friends with you or not. If not, then you move on. If he can accept you for who you are, and the two of you can be comfortable together, then great. But at least you’ll know,” I explained.

“You’re right, Josh. It has to come to that. I want to be who I really am, and not hide the fact I like men, and live in the shadows trying to be someone I’m not. I rather doubt he’ll accept me after he finds out, but it might be kind of fun getting to the point of finding out. I really have nothing to lose except him. I don’t want anything to do with him if he can’t accept the real me as his friend at least. We don’t have to be lovers, as long as we can be friends,” Jim explained. I told him he had the right attitude.

Jim said he’d get his things and then head back to their apartment. We told him to come back anytime he needed to, as he was our friend and always welcome. He gave both Jake and me a hug then gathered his stuff and took off.

Todd, Chad, Devin and Sandy all joined us for our beer drinking hour after work. We were all celebrating the first step of the new project. Everyone was excited. Todd, Chad, Devin and Sandy were almost ecstatic as Devin and Sandy found out more about the scope of the project. Devin said he hoped he could handle it all. Todd and Chad said they’d help him, and advise him about additional help needed when the time came. They said they’d have a ton of that to do themselves including sub-contractors, but asked if Devin could act as the electrical sub-contractor, taking that responsibility away from them. Devin said he would, even if it killed him. Todd told him we didn’t need that to happen, as we needed him desperately for this project. Sandy reminded him that was not a good idea as he needed a place to live. Devin just shook his head.

As everything was winding down and Todd and Chad were getting up to leave, Sandy asked if he and Devin could stay for shower time. We told him anytime he wanted to. Devin said they couldn’t tonight, as he had to work on the wiring diagram for the sound system to hook up everything in the DJ’s booth. Sandy looked disappointed.

“Don’t you have a hot date tonight anyway?” Devin asked Sandy.

“Yeh, but these guys are a whole hell of a lot more fun, Dev. You can fuck a chic any night, but hanging out with these crazy guys is much more fun,” Sandy replied. Devin looked at me and raised his eyebrows.

“Guys be careful when you shower with this guy. Remember he has a very big dick and it’s unleashed in the shower,” Devin chided.

“Oh, it’s not like that, Dev. It’s just fun. A lot of fun,” Sandy remarked. Trevor bent over in front of him and showed his ass. Sandy quickly dry humped him, getting laughter from all the guys. “Like I said, Dev, it’s a lot of fun.” We all laughed.

Devin told the group, as much as he’d like to check out our shower, they really did need to go, as he had a shit ton of work to do on the wiring diagram, and needed his computer software to handle it. He told Sandy he guessed he’d have to fuck a girl tonight instead of the guys. Sandy gave him a weird look, then bust out laughing as did the rest of the guys.

About 9:00 that night I got a call from Zach. Before I answered it, I wasn’t sure if I was excited or concerned. I was hoping it was good news, since it usually was funny stuff he had to tell me about Gramps, calling at night after playing checkers with him and drinking beer.

“Josh, just wanted you to know, Gramps is doing great. He was so much fun today. We even did some walking outside together. He was telling me stories about the farm and pointing out things about the various pastures and fields. We made it as far as the barn. He was a little weak, but wanted to see it, saying it had been ages since he’d been down to the barn. He looked at all the equipment. He told me I had been doing a good job keeping it maintained. He was glad I was handy in that respect, as he said your dad always let that stuff go to hell, when you weren’t around to maintain it. I had to laugh. He is such a character,” Zach said, chuckling.

“Tell me something I don’t know, Zach. It’s amazing, as I can’t remember the last time he and I were down at the barn together. Dad and I are there all the time, but Gramps never seemed to want to go down there anymore,” I replied.

“Oh, and he wanted to know if the outside shower was still there. I took him around and showed it to him. He said he and your dad put that in years ago, when you were still a little tike. Then he asked me how all those strange stains got on the wood partitions around it. I almost choked. I told him it looked like someone had taken bleach and tried to clean it or something. He told me nothing in there was worth cleaning, as it was only going to get dirty again. I didn’t have the heart to tell him those were cum stains, although, I think he highly suspected they might be. He did ask if you and I had used it before. I told him many times. He just gave me a big smile, Josh,” Zach said, sounding embarrassed. I chuckled.

“Sounds like he’s feeling better if he was outside and walked to the barn with you. That’s great news, Zach. You’ve been so good for him.”

“Oh, he was even teasing your mother again this afternoon and evening,” Zach remarked.

“Oh boy. Did she want to throw him out again?” I asked curiously, as Gramps had a way of tormenting Mom.

“No, she was laughing and asked him why he couldn’t have been this nice and jovial for the most part of his life. She actually had a great time with him. They were laughing and cutting up. Your dad told me to remember this moment, as he never thought it would happen and surely wouldn’t last. We were cracking up at the two. He had a couple of beers with us tonight, so he’s feeling a little frisky. Your dad is putting him to bed right now, but he wanted me to call you as he has something to ask you. I think your dad has him in bed now, so I’ll let you talk to him,” Zach said, as I heard him walk into the bedroom, hearing Gramps tell Dad he loved him and goodnight. I heard Dad tell Zach, Gramps was all his. I could only imagine Dad was finally happy to get him in bed and get some peace.

“Gramps, I have Josh on the phone. You can talk to him,” Zach said handing Gramps his cell phone.

“Thanks, Zach. You’re such a cutie. I just love you to death,” Gramps said, as he took the phone from Zach.

“Josh, my boy. You there?” he asked.

“I’m here for you, Gramps. Heard you had a big day today,” I told him.

“Oh, the best. Went down to the barn with Zach. He showed me all over the place. Hadn’t seen that in a long time. Felt good to get some fresh air and look the place over again,” Gramps told me. “Hey, what I wanted to tell you is, I know you’re aware of loan on this property. It’s stayed the same for several years, but the plan was to pay it off before I leave this world. I kind of promised your dad and mom I’d try to make that happen. Well, as you’re aware, I’m running out of time, and I don’t have any assets to my name anymore, it’s all tied up in the farm. The farm goes to your dad and mom upon my departure from this earth. You being the big businessman and financier, I was hoping you could find a way to take care of that loan somewhere down the road so your mom and dad don’t have to sell the farm in their old age to retire. I know that might be a lot to ask, but I’d feel better knowing I could count on you to take care of them so they don’t have that burden I might leave them with,” Gramps said, requesting my help.

“Gramps, that’s no big deal at all. I can handle that easily. I don’t want you worrying about that for Mom and Dad. Don’t think another thing about it. Besides you’re not going anywhere for a while anyway. I can handle that mortgage somehow. We’ll get it taken care of. You took it out, Dad paid the interest on it all these years, and I’ll find a way to get rid of it. It took three generations to make it all work, but we can make it work. The things I’m dong right now, should guarantee a strong future for Mom and Dad and even you, Gramps. You’ve done a great job with all of us, all our lives, and we can certainly take care of this little problem. Don’t give it a second thought,” I promised him.

“Josh, I knew I could always depend on you. Damn, I love you, boy. Wish you were here so I could properly kiss you, son. I guess I’ll just have to kiss Zach instead,” he said chuckling.

“I’m sure he’d enjoy that, Gramps. Just don’t get too carried away when you do,” I teasingly warned.

“Yeh, well he kind of gets me all excited when he hugs me and kisses me. You know I’m old, but some things are instinctive and never seem to go away,” he chided. I had to laugh and I heard Zach laughing also. “Well, here’s your boy. Don’t forget to love him for the rest of your life and Jake too. I’m counting on that. And come home again soon. I miss the hell out of you, Josh. Love you, son,” he said, and handed the phone to Zach.

“Goodnight, Gramps. I love you like Josh does,” I heard Zach tell Gramps then I heard a kiss and an ahh from Gramps as they hugged. “Hey, Josh, you still there?” Zach asked leaving Gramps’ room.

“You got me, buddy,” I replied. “He seemed in great spirits tonight. Must have been the fresh air and the beer,” I chided.

“He was crazy fun tonight. Your dad couldn’t believe how much energy he had today and how much fun he was. We’ll have to see if he keeps this up tomorrow,” Zach said wishfully. “Hey, only one more week, and then I’ll be up there with you and Jake. I can’t wait, Josh. Damn, I miss you so much. Are you coming home any time before then?” he asked.

“I doubt it, Zach. We have so much to do to get this bar open, and I just got word today that we got the property for the dormitory we’re building, so all that is starting. Then the week you come, we have open practice in the afternoon for the swim team, so you and I’ll be tied up with that. Frankly, I don’t know how we’ll get it all done. I’d love to come back, see the folks and Gramps, and then bring you back with me, as I’m not sure your old pickup can make it that far. We’ll have to see,” I said, as I thought about it.

“Yeh, I’m not so sure my old pickup will make it either. Your dad said something about driving me up there if you didn’t come home. My dad could if he would, I guess. I could always take the bus if I had to, but it’d take me a whole day to get there that way. We’ll figure out something. I’m just so excited we’re almost there,” Zach said all excited.

“Me too. Oh, are Jake and I going to take care of that hot little ass of yours when you get here,” I said all excited.

“You’re giving me a boner just thinking about it. Now, I’m going to have to go up to your room and grab a pair of your underwear and jack off with it,” Zach teased me.

“Fuck, you do that?” I asked curiously.

“Oh, that’s what keeps me going. It’s a pair you wore one time when we were working that never got washed. I put it aside so I could smell the real you, all of you in that area. Oh, it’s a lifesaver, Josh. I can’t tell you how much cum I’ve shot sniffing that underwear of yours. I might just have to bring it with me,” Zach said chuckling.

“You might just have to throw it away, Zachery. You’ve got the real thing here and Jake too, remember.”

“I guess you’re right, Josh. But it’s kind of been my security blanket all the time you’re away from me. I hate to give it up,” he said.

“I’m talking to Zach, Jake. Oh, my Lord. Okay, just a minute,” I told Jake, who pulled my underwear off in the bedroom and started sucking on my cock. “Zach, gotta go. Jake is horny and, well, we’ve been distracted for a few nights and need to have some catch up sex. But we’ll be thinking of you when that happens,” I assured him. Zach laughed and said by all means, get off the phone and shoot a healthy load for him. I told him goodnight, and I loved him. Jake grabbed the phone ,and told Zach he loved him too. Zach told us both he loved us, then we hung up.

“Wow, Jake. Just had a fantastic talk with Zach, and got to talk to Gramps. Gramps is doing great today and was so happy. He wanted to talk to me and that’s why Zach called. That made my day, after all the other bullshit stuff we had to work with today,” I started telling him, but was cut short as his tongue went down my throat. Things got very hot and intense between us for over an hour, until we both drained our balls over one another. What a relief, finally.
 
Damn it, FT! Now I'm kinda pissed off! That chapter ended before I was ready for it to, wanting to keep on reading, so now I know how Trevor really felt being left half naked on the kitchen's prep table, and not even having Andy here to take care of me, and finish me off!

You know what, though? That has got to be one of, if not THE, Best chapters you've written yet!!

Of course, that wouldn't be the case if it hadn't been for ALL that you've shared with us so far! Fuckin' INCREDIBLE!

I should have, but didn't, realize all of the ramifications, the positive ripples, that sealing the deal on the property would have. So many of the lives, of fantastic guys, have been changed for the better with the "stroke of a pen". "Our" core group was already doing exceedingly well, but THIS has been like setting off a nuclear sized impulse, of beneficial radiance, lighting up the future for so many more. WOW!

Great dreams incoming!

THANK YOU and HUGS!! (*8*) :kiss:
Chaz :luv2:
