Chapter 257 – Coming Clean and Packing Up
It had been a very emotional day, burying Gramps and having all my friends that I cared so much about surround me at that time to show their support and show me they cared. I was still shocked that 20 people, who came from all over, were there to support me. I was particularly touched by Stoney telling Tom and Greer to spare no expense in getting my friends here to support me. Who was this man, that had provided me the tools, abilities, financing to propel me, and some extremely valued and beloved friends a path to exploding into limitless opportunities. He was like a god of some type, continually handing Greer, Jake, Jordan and myself, unbelievable resources for growth and opportunity. It wasn’t just the four of us, as Stoney knew we would bring a considerable number of others along with us, making this new business machine even more powerful and profitable for all those that got involved. But why did he separate the ones he loved the most from him? Why was he staying away from us and not letting us share in his personal life? It was obvious he loved us, both in heart and in bed, for that matter. I just wanted to reach out and touch him, hold him in my arms and let him know how grateful I was for every opportunity and thoughtful act he had provided. He was like a guardian angel, pointing the way to opportunity and shelling out cash to get there. He was a total enigma. I wanted him to be with us on this crazy journey he founded, not watch us from afar. The act of insulating himself from the rest of us, when we loved him, and he loved us, I just couldn’t get my head around. Still, Stoney worked in strange ways. One could only hope that his reasons would be revealed and understood some day. One could only hope.
The evening after the funeral was quiet and settling to an extent. The grief was still there, but the consolation of friends and family had made it bearable and satisfying. We kind of glowed from the affection of everyone that supported us through this dan and the last couple. It was a relief at this point, and we were at peace with everything that happened.
There was still a ton of food to eat. Mom didn’t have to cook a thing, but you would have thought she needed to, by the way she busied herself in the kitchen. Jake, Zach and I had changed back into our shorts and t’s, happy to be out of our suits, although we still couldn’t get over how hot we looked in them. Dad was definitely happy to be back in jeans and a well worn polo shirt of sorts. We sat around and talked in the family room that opened up into the kitchen. Gladys was helping Mom with whatever in the kitchen, and they seemed to be enjoying their conversation.
“Mom, I have a copy of Gramps’ will. I don’t think he left much, but I guess we can see what all is there. I’ll have to get an attorney to look over this, and tell us what we have to do to settle his estate. He doesn’t owe anyone anything. The mortgage was changed over to us several years ago, so he’s off that. I guess we have to notify Social Security of his death. The funeral director gave me 15 certified death certificates to use for various things to close out everything,” Dad said hollering at Mom.
“Do we even need to look at the will?” Gladys asked. “I’m sure he didn’t have anything to leave,” she added.
Dad went to his lockbox and pulled out an envelope. We all gathered round to see what was in it. It basically said that anything that he still owned that had anything to do with the farm, went to Dad and Mom, and if anything had happened to Dad or Mom it went to me. Dad said everything in the farm was in his name at this point and had been for years. The will went onto say that if there was any money left from his savings it was to be split between Dad, Mom and Gladys. Dad said he had a couple of thousand dollars in his savings account, but that was all. He had paind Mom and Dad for room and board, but they basically just held that for him and would feed it back into his davings account for him. He had a few personal items that he had most of his life that he left to me, thinking I might like to have them. There was ring, some trinkets from way back when, small odds and ends he collected over the years, such as a pocked watch he always enjoyed. He had a few two-dollar bills that were old and a small coin collection he had enjoyed doing at one time. That was about it. He had pretty much disposed or given away any personal property he had over the years. Gladys said she had a few things of her mother’s, a couple of lamps, a clock and some jewelry. Dad said there shouldn’t be a reason to probate anything because Gramps just didn’t have that much anymore. They had worked out the transfer of the land years ago, so that was done, except for the mortgage which was in Dad’s name anyway. Gramps had pretty much put his affairs in order years before his demise, which worked well for everyone. Dad offered Gladys anything she wanted of Gramps’ stuff. They both agreed they should probably donate any decent clothes to Goodwill or the Salvation Army.
Gramps did actually own the checker board and checkers. Those were actually an antique, according to Dad. Dad said he played checkers with Gramps with those same checkers when he was small. Dad said that set should go to Zach, since he tirelessly played checkers with Gramps almost every evening. Zach said it should go to me, but I insisted he have something for helping make my grandfather’s life happy this summer. Zach said he could never beat Gramps anyway, so it wouldn’t do him much good. We all laughed.
We all ate a small bite to eat, having eating lunch at the church so late. The men all had a couple of beers and just sat around and chilled. We did manage to get the evening feeding in, getting some fresh air. While we were doing the feeding, I told Zach about the mortgage on the farm I was trying to find out about and see what I could do to pay this off over time. Jake knew about it, because he was with me when I asked Greer to check it out. Zach thought it was wonderful, that I was trying to fulfill a wish Gramps had for taking care of my parents. I told him and Jake, I still didn’t know how much it was, but, hopefully, Greer would find out and let me know.
We all retired rather early. Mom, Dad and Gladys were worn out, but relieved of some of the immediate stress of the funeral. While us guys were tired also, we still had a driving need to experience each other sexually. We had a nice hot shower together, sensuously washing each other. Then we took our time exploring each other’s bodies. Jake and I made Zach lay on his stomach and, between Jake and me, we ravaged his butthole, taint and the back of his ball sack with our tongues, sensuously torturing the poor boy until he begged us to fuck him. I think we all ended up fucking each other and being fucked by one another before we decided we needed to sleep. I know I reminded the guys we needed to wash the sheets before we left on Tuesday. We didn’t need to leave those for Mom to wash, which she would definitely do if we didn’t. She didn’t need to see large volumes of dried cum on her son’s sheets, or Zach’s, or anyone’s, for that matter.
Laying there, wiped out from fucking each other, I thought of something we still had to do before departing. “We haven’t figured out a time to tell Mom and Dad about being gay, guys. We need to decide when and how we’re going to do this,” I told them as we huddled together naked and spent.
“Ugh, when is there ever a good time?” Jake asked.
“I was trying to figure that one out myself,” I replied.
“Should we do it right before we leave on Tuesday morning, do you think?” Zach asked. “That way if they’re upset with us, we’re not hanging around, and we’ll be gone.”
I thought about that, and then I said, “Should we really tell and run, or should we still be here for them to digest it all and ask questions if they need to, show good faith that we are united in our love for one another, and not turn tail and run?” I asked the two of them.
“I think we need to do it tomorrow, Monday. Show them we are who we are and we’re still the loving guys they believe us to be, and nothing has really changed, other than we finally told them the truth. We still love them with all our hearts and we’re not embarrassed to be who we are, or to tell them we love them just the same,” Zach suggested.
“I’m with Zach,” Jake agreed.
“I am too, guys. I think that’s the most decent way to do it. We stand up for who we are and what we love, and don’t tell and run away cowardly. I just have this feeling of sorts, they kind of know it already, but are waiting to see if we have the stones to tell them at some point in time,” I suggested.
“I think we all feel the same way, Josh,” Jake responded. We all three hugged, then eventually fell asleep.
That damned rooster woke me up again in the morning with me threatening to kill it once again. Zach just laughed and asked if we could bring it to Uni to use as an alarm clock there. He got tickled for that suggestion, and my finger up his asshole. We all three got up, got minimally dressed, then went to do the feeding. Zach told us he was going to miss his daily chores on the farm. I assured him he’d get over that very quickly. I certainly did. That made him laugh.
“I need to see my father today to tell him goodbye, guys. Would you all like to come with me?” Zach asked cautiously. My heart dropped a little. I was still uneasy about the fact we had to find a time today to tell Mom and Dad we were all gay.
“Uh, were you planning on telling him you’re gay today also?” I asked concerned.
“I don’t think he’s ready for that. He would probably prefer me writing him a letter with that information, rather than a face to face conversation. He’s moved onto his new life with his girlfriend. He loves me, and always will. I love him also, but whether I’m gay or straight, he probably doesn’t care, and probably would rather I not tell him. If he happened to find out, I guess he’d be okay with it, but it wouldn’t change his world any. Does that make sense?” Zach asked.
“I guess, somewhat. In other words, he’s mostly checked out of your personal world and more checked into his immediate world, of which, you’re not so much a part of because you’re raised and no longer living with him?” I asked curiously.
“I think you pretty much nailed it,” Zack stated firmly.
“I wish it was going to be that easy with my family,” Jake said. “My mother wants grandchildren and she’s bound and determined I need a girlfriend and disappointed because I don’t. I’m sure she’d actually be happy if I accidently knocked up some girl. I’m half afraid she’ll be very disappointed with me, and Dad also, when we have to tell them. Let’s just say I’m dreading that day, a whole lot more than I dread this day,” Jake told us. We gave Jake a hug.
“We’re with you all the way, babe,” I told Jake as we hugged him. That seemed to comfort him some.
We showered quickly when we got back from feeding. Of course, it was interesting and sensuous, but short on time. It wasn’t like this was our last day together with Zach. He was going with us this time. I felt so much better about leaving this time, taking him with us. Mom had a big breakfast as usual. I asked Zach if he needed anything from the bunkhouse to take back with him to Uni. He said he had most of his stuff here, so there wouldn’t be much to pack. Dad said to remind him to pay Zach before he left, as he owed him for this week. Zach said that wasn’t necessary, but Dad told him it most certainly was.
After breakfast, we told Mom and Dad we were going with Zach to say goodbye to his dad, as he wouldn’t see him for a while. Dad and Mom thought that was great and told us to be safe. We took off in the Lincoln for the twenty-minute ride to the ranch Zach’s father managed. We did make a quick stop at the bunkhouse. There were a few guys there that had worked with Zach at one time. They all wished him well in college and in his swimming. We shook hands with all of them, then headed up to where Zach’s father had a small office attached to the main house. Zach’s father’s girlfriend was sitting on his desk talking to him when we got there. She did give Zach a hug and pinched his cheek as if he was a little kid. Zach just smiled. His dad shook our hands and gave Zach a hug. Zach filled his dad in on what had happened the last few days, and, since I was home and going back tomorrow, he was going to go back with Jake and me. His dad said that made the most sense, so no one would have to drive him up to Uni. His dad asked him if he needed any money or was he okay. Zach said he saved everything he earned this summer from working for my father, so he was good. I told his dad that his housing and school were all covered with his scholarship, so he was in great shape, plus we had a business there he was going to be working a few hours a week at. His dad seemed overjoyed at having his son attend college for no cost to him.
“Now, we’ll be able to go to Hawaii on your honeymoon, sweetheart,” the girlfriend said. Zach’s dad blushed.
“Honeymoon?” Zach asked, surprised. His dad kind of hem-hawed around.
“We’ve decided to get married, Zach. Hopefully, that’s okay with you, son. You’re going away to college and, well, I’m not getting any younger. Melissa and I love each other. I think if you love each other like we do, then we should make it legal and just get married,” he said. “Hopefully, you understand,” he said looking for some sort of blessing from Zach.
“Of course, Dad. I’m happy for you. You don’t need to be alone. If the two of you love each other, then by all means, spend the rest of your lives together,” Zach told him. That seemed to greatly relieve Zach’s father.
“We were going to tell you anyway before you left for school. You just caught us off-guard leaving a little early. But it’s all good. I hope you find love also in your life. Maybe at college, who knows,” he said, wishfully.
“I’m quite sure I will, Dad. Josh and Jake have been wonderful friends, and I’m sure they’ll take great care of me at school. Josh and Jake already pledged me for the sports fraternity, so I’m already set up socially. How about that?” Zach told him.
“Gees, that’s great, guys. They’re taking great care of you already. Those frat parties can be a lot of fun, son. Some great looking girls show up at those also. I’m not going to have to worry about you finding someone,” he said smiling.
“Well, anyway, congratulations to you and Melissa. Let me know when the wedding is. I might want to be there for that one,” Zach said happily.
“Well, we were thinking about eloping in Hawaii, not going to make a big deal with a big wedding and all, just kind of a private thing. But if you really want to be there, I’d love for you to, and would be happy to fly you over there,” his dad told him.
“Oh, that’s okay, Dad. You know I’ll always be with you in spirit. Just promise me you’ll stay happy,” Zach told his father. His father hugged him, and told him he’d miss him, but to call once in a while. Zach promised he would, and Jake and I both told his dad we’d make sure he did. We got a bro hug from his father.
“I don’t know, but I think these two friends of Zach’s are total hunks,” Melissa said, eyeing up Jake and me. We blushed. “Wish you guys had been around more often. With guys like these as friends, Zach’s bound to find a hot little gal to keep him happy,” she commented. We smiled.
“We’ll make sure he stays happy,” I told her. She was happy to hear that, but probably not for the same reasons we were thinking.
We finally left them and headed back to the farm. Zach said he hoped his dad would be happy with this Melissa. She seemed nice enough, but he said he hadn’t been around her all that much. Zach said he kind of got the idea she preferred it that way, but he wasn’t sure if he was just being selfish in that respect. Jake and I both thought it was a good idea not to say anything about the gay thing at the moment. Why spoil their engagement news to Zach, by telling them, by the way, I’m gay. Today was not the day, we all agreed.
When we pulled up at the house, there was a strange car there. Going inside, there was a middle aged man in a suit there. Dad introduced us to him as the bank manager in town. Dad introduce me as his son and Zach and Jake as my two other brothers. The man gave Dad a strange look. Dad told him I was his biological son, but Zach and Jake were such close friends, and Zach had worked for him and lived with them all summer long, so as far as he was concerned, we were all family. The man thought that was great. I was rather proud of Dad for introducing us that way.
“Josh, the bank manager wanted to talk to us about the mortgage. Come to find out it’s over $200,000, a little more and a little less at times, but averages around that. Now that will go down in the fall when we sell the harvest, but then back up again in the spring when we plant. Ideally, it should continue to go down each year, if we keep expenses in line and make a profit on our crops and cattle. We’ve had a couple of tough years, which is why it’s as much as it is right now,” Dad explained.
“Dad, I don’t want you to worry about that. I’m handling that. I’ll take care of it one way or another, but I don’t want you and Mom to fret over that. I’m going to work things out. I promised Gramps I would, and I’m going to,” I said sincerely, but concerned there was some sort of urgency issue because of Gramps’ death. Dad hugged me, with tears in his eyes.
“Then you had something to do with this,” he said, as he hugged me tightly. I gave him a strange look.
“The bank manager just told me it was paid in full, first thing this morning. He also told me that I have a line of credit now with the bank, and can borrow what I need if I need anything. Also, there was an additional $50,000 deposited in our checking account. Frankly, not having to pay interest on that $200,000 will alleviate me from ever having to borrow anything again, and definitely with the $50,000 extra dollars. Hell, it’s like we struck it rich. This is a Godsend, Josh. How did you do all that?” he asked.
“Uh, I’m not exactly sure, but I have a pretty good idea. Let’s just leave it at that,” I told him, not sure myself as to what happened. Somehow this went from, ‘looking into’ this mortgage, to ‘paying off’ this mortgage.
“Son, that’s a lot of money to spend without knowing how it happened. I’d like to know, as I don’t want you to be on the hook for anything that will put you in debt,” Dad said. “I couldn’t live with myself, if I caused you to go into debt on my account,” Dad said, concerned.
“Dad, you have no worries there. I can assure you, I have no debt. I think I have a good idea what happened and, trust me, it’s all good,” I assured him. Dad looked like he wasn’t so sure, but thanked the bank manager anyway.
“We’ve never seen a mortgage of this amount paid off as quickly as this one was this morning. I mean we got a call early this morning right when we opened, wanting a payoff number and within minutes the money was wired in and I was told to come out here and give you back the mortgage marked ‘paid in full’. No more debt, sir.” Dad shook his head bewildered.
“Hey Gramps must have found a rich banker up there in Heaven, Dad. He was always good at that,” I said, chuckling. Even Jake and Zach got a kick out of that one.
The bank manager shook our hands, and said to be sure to call for him directly if we ever needed anything. I told him I was sure we wouldn’t be needing anything for a while anyway.
“Maybe you need to buy a new truck, Dad,” I told him, smiling. He pulled me to him in a tight hug and kissed me on the cheek.
“I don’t know how something like this happens, but I know you’re behind it, and you couldn’t be any better at taking care of your family and loving us like you do than you are, Josh. Your Mom and I couldn’t have a son that loved us any more than you do. You are our world,” Dad said rocking me back and forth as he hugged me tightly.
“Keep that thought in mind, as I have something important to tell you later,” I teased. Dad smiled, but I knew he had no idea of the bomb the three of us were getting ready to drop later in the day. The fact that his mortgage had been paid off and his checking account was another $50,000 higher, couldn’t hurt with what I had to tell him later. It was perfect timing, actually, although I needed to get hold of Greer and find out what the hell happened.
After dinner, Mom wanted Zach and I to go through my room and decide what I wanted to keep, and what I wanted to get rid of, since I wouldn’t be spending much time at home anymore, a fact she had reluctantly tried to get used to. She said Zach had been a tremendous help with the empty nest syndrome. I told her to find another Zach for Dad, but she said they threw away the mold after they made Zach. Jake and I had to agree with her on that one.
We did go up to my bedroom, or Zach’s bedroom now, although he insisted, he preserved it for me, and start going through closets and drawers. I made a pile of old blue jeans, I probably would never wear again. I did leave a few pairs for Zach, Jake and me to use in emergencies if we had to come help on the farm with the harvest or anything. I kept a small pile of my old tighty whities, socks and t-shirts for the same reason. The guys got a kick out of some of my old pictures of when I was a prepubescent kid, before the one hair on my dick, as Jake put it, referring to what Clyde told them. We had to laugh. It was like going down memory lane. I found some old magazines of male nudity Beau, Clyde and I used to jack off to, before we got into sucking and fucking with each other. Damn, they looked ancient to me. All the guys in the mags had long hair and thick, hairy pubes. In a way, they were still kind of hot, but from another era entirely. Those came out of my secret compartment I had below one of my built-in shelves in my room. I found a couple of old jock straps also, which Zach promptly smelled, until I grabbed them, and threw them in the trash. He told me he got a whiff of my sweatiness way back when. I told him he was crazy too, as I was sure they were clean. He said he distinctly sniffed my smell. I rolled him over on the floor and kissed him passionately, then tickled him. We spent a great deal of time looking at old photos. There were a few photos of Beau, Clyde and me when we were 7 or 8 dressed up for Halloween. We had some photos of us in high school also. I had two yearbooks, which Jake and Zach found intriguing, finding several pictures of me in my speedos at swim meets. Both Zach and Jake said I filled out my trunks much better today than I did then. There was a picture in there of me and the girl I took to the senior prom. They thought we looked like a cute couple. I chuckled remembering how that night went. Beau, Clyde and I all had dates that night. I had to explain the situation to Zach and Jake.
“It was just awkward, if you know what I mean. I mean, we were all friends and everything, but not dating material at all. We all went out to dinner, then to the dance, and then to an after party, but were out of there by midnight. Luckily, we live in a close- knit farming community and the farmer’s daughters wanted their little girls home by midnight. We were good with that. Then the three of us slept out in Clyde’s barn in sleeping bags and drank beer. Our parents knew where we were, which was cool, but we fucked each other half the night that night, much different than what you normally would have expected anyway for prom night,” I told them.
Zach said he never made it to the prom this year, as he didn’t care to ask anyone out, but he didn’t have Jake or me to fuck either. I felt bad for him, and hugged and kissed him. He laughed. Jake did the same thing giving him a pity kiss. Jake said he actually went to his prom, did the whole dinner thing and all, tried dancing, although it was awkward. He said he and his girl got rather amorous at the after party. He said he wasn’t sure if he could get hard, until the couple beside he and his girlfriend were naked, and he could see the guy’s cock fucking his girl. He said watching him was the only way he got hard enough to do the deed himself. He reminded me, that dating for him was awkward anyway, and he was glad that the supposed girlfriend went to a different school. He said it never would have worked anyway. He started thinking maybe he had an interest in guys after watching his friend fuck beside him, realizing he was more interested in his friend’s cock than his naked girlfriend. We all laughed at our previous lives. Both Zach and Jake told me I had the best time in high school with my three buddies.
“Here we are, three buddies again. In my life, I guess the best things come in threes,” I told them. I got kisses from both guys on that one.
“Oh, I have to take this back with me,” Zach said, half panicking.
“What’s that?” I asked, as he ran to the bed, lifted up the mattress, and pulled out a pair of underwear.
“My Josh undies, my security blanket,” he said proudly.
“Oh, for shit sake, throw those damned things away,” I urged.
“Not on your life. This is what kept me sane the entire time you were gone,” he said, rubbing them over his face.
“Damn, Zach. What the hell,” I said, somewhat disgusted. “Where did you find those gross things anyway?” I had to ask.
“It was the week you were home right after school was out, and I moved in a couple of days before you left to go back to Uni. We were working, baling hay or something, and all hot and sweating our balls off. We came back up here to take a shower, and I’m sure we fucked also. But you took them off and threw them against the wall. I asked you why you did that, and you said, if they didn’t stick, they were good to wear for another day. I remember laughing my ass off, and then you probably fucked my ass. Anyway, I picked them up off the floor later and put them under the mattress. They smelled great, Josh. They still do. Want to smell them?” he asked dangling them in my face.
“Fuck no, I don’t want to smell those old stinky sweaty briefs, Zach. Good grief, boy. You need to throw those away, little buddy. You don’t have to smell those, when you can smell the real thing anytime you want to,” I said pulling down my shorts and briefs, exposing my cock, balls and bush. I forced his head into my pubes, but he grabbed my dick and started sucking it. That led to some wrestling, that turned into naked wrestling, that turned into more fucking. The three of us finally lay on my bedroom floor naked and spent.
“Well, that was interesting,” Jake exclaimed. “We can do that more often now that we’re all together.” I took a dollop of cum from the end of my cock and flicked it at him. He scooped it up and ate it. “Zach, let me smell Josh’s sweaty underwear,” he asked. Zach threw them to him and he sniffed them intently. “Yep, that’s Josh all right. Can’t mistake that musky male smell. Damn, I need a pair of these for myself,” he said. I know I threw something at him.
“You guys, we have each other now. We don’t need things like that anymore. We have the real thing,” I reminded them. Still, Zach wanted to keep them for posterity’s sake. Who could deny him that. He promptly packed them in his duffle bag.
We cleaned up a little before we had to do the evening feeding. I noticed Gladys was missing for supper. I asked Mom where she was.
“One of her old boyfriends invited her out to dinner tonight, the widower she saw at Gramps’ calling hours. I suppose she’ll be home later, but if not, well she’s old enough to make her own decisions,” Mom said, shaking her head. The three of us chuckled, but Mom gave us a strange look.
“How long is she staying?” I asked Dad if he knew.
“As long as she wants, unfortunately,” he replied. “Who knows, maybe this guy will take her off our hands,” Dad commented.
We helped Mom with the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen. She kissed us all for helping. Then the three of us headed upstairs. We were all nervous as we met in the bedroom.
“Okay, this is it. Is there any reason we shouldn’t do this?” I asked Zach and Jake.
No, let’s do it and get it over with,” Jake urged. “If it goes bad, we can leave tonight. I just don’t think that will happen. Your parents love us all, Josh. They’re truly beautiful, loving people,” Jake added.
“I guess we’re about to find out if they’re gay friendly also,” I threw in there.
“Well, we kind of know your father is. Now if your mom can just handle it,” Zach remarked.
“Okay, here goes,” I told them, and we headed downstairs. When we got to the breezeway, I grabbed each of their hands. “We’re holding hands in solidarity when we do this,” I said, half-scared out of my wits. I pulled them into the family room, and all three of us sat beside each other on the couch holding hands. Dad looked at us from his easy chair, but didn’t say anything. Mom was just putting something away in the kitchen.
I swear we were shaking. “Mom, can you come here a minute?” I asked. “We have something to discuss with you,” I said my voice a little shaky. We were all three holding hands. Mom came into the room and sat on the arm of Dad’s easy chair.
“Look, Dad, how cute the three of them are together. Aren’t they just the nicest looking boys you’ve ever seen,” she said marveling at us sitting there holding hands. “You can just tell what great friends they are, and how much they love and care for each other. You just can’t find relationships like that in this world anymore. What was it you wanted to tell us, guys?” she asked. They were sitting there staring at us in anticipation for what we might say, totally clueless as to what was coming. I wanted to pass out, but I had to go through with this. I could tell how nervous Zach and Jake both were also, by holding their hands, feeling the little tremors running through their bodies into mine.
“Uh, well, we need to tell you something. It’s kind of difficult to say this so hear me out before you say or do anything,” I urged.
“Well nothing could be that bad, Josh, not as much as we love the three of you,” Mom stated. That gave me a little bit of hope and some courage to speak.
“The three of us really love one another,” I told them.
“Of course you do, dear. That’s been evident for a long time. Everyone can see how much the three of you care about one another,” Mom interjected.
“Well, it’s a little deeper than that. I’m just gong to say it. We love each other mentally and with all our hearts, and physically too,” I said getting a confused look from them. “We’re gay, and as much as we are friends, we are lovers also. We can’t help it, we just love each other so much, and we can’t change. I hope you don’t hate us and can accept us for who we are, the boys that love both of you with all our hearts also,” I said and started to cry. Mom and Dad shed tears also, and didn’t say a word at first. Then Dad stood up and came over to us, motioning for us to get up. We did, still holding on tight to each other’s hands, me in the middle. Dad hugged me tightly and told me he loved me. Mom did the same thing, then hugged Jake and hugged Zach. We were all still trembling.
“Listen very carefully, guys. There is nothing in this world any of you could do to stop us from loving you. You are decent, wonderful, caring and loving human beings, and we will always love you no matter what. Nothing can ever change that,” Dad told us, his hands on our shoulders looking us straight in the eyes, with tears flowing from his eyes. Mom too. “I thought someday, we might have this conversation. I just hoped it would be with you and whoever you decided to love, Josh. I’ve known for sometime that you didn’t really care for women, and that’s okay with me. Now your mom might be a little disappointed she might not have any grandchildren, but all we want for you is to be happy in life. You could not have found two more wonderful, more beautiful friends to love than Jake and Zach. Mom, I think we have three sons, now that our family has expanded. Hell, we’ve been telling people the last few days we have three sons now, and I guess Josh just made it official,” Dad said, hugging us again and kissing us all on the cheek.
“You don’t know how relieved we really are hearing you say what you said. We were prepared for the worst. I think this was the hardest thing we ever had to do in our lives,” I told them.
“Josh, how could you ever believe we could stop loving you for loving someone you love? That could never happen. We will defend your choice in that matter to our graves. Now, it’s not something we’ll go around advertising, and it’s really no one’s business, but the three of you, but if it ever comes up, I swear to you on my honor, I will defend you to my death,” Dad pledged. I jumped at him and hugged him again. Mom said she would too, and that she loved all of us.
We were so relieved. It was like the weight of the world was taken off of me. The same went for Zach and Jake.
“Okay, grab some beers and sit down and tell us everything you’ve been holding back because you were afraid to share with us. I lost one loved one this week, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to let my son hold anything back from me because he was afraid to share it with me. It’s just the five of us here, so spill your guts and come clean. Thank gawd, your Aunt Gladys is not here tonight. Whew,” Dad remarked.
Zach came running in with beers for all of us, even Mom. The three of us sat on the couch. “Well, the business we run is primarily for the gay community. We started two gay bars, the first in the City, which took off like crazy and made us a ton of money. Then we developed the second one up at Uni. We live in a beautiful apartment over the bar. Zach will be living there with us. Most all the guys you met today are our close friends. Well, Tuck and Eric, the guy whose wedding I was in, they’re not gay. They’re straight, but love us just the same. Everyone else, our business partners, Greer and Jordan are both gay, but Jordan’s kind of out of circulation right now. Lawyers have a certain reputation to uphold. We’re working on him though. He used to be a very unhappy person, until Jake and I got hold of him, and now, he’s happy again. But that’s a long story. Stoney, who is our benefactor, that set up a holding company that he made me the CEO and Jake the COO and Greer the CFO, he’s the most talented businessman I’ve ever met in my life. He’s mentoring me in business. The man has or had immense wealth, although I think he’s put most of it in a trust for the company we run right now. He’s content to lay back and watch to see what we do with it. Every once in a great while he’ll step in, give us some guidance, or buy another business for us, which is how we acquired another two gay bars or clubs. We also own the aviation business, the plane that brought Gladys up here from Florida, the two King Airs that brought the whole group down yesterday, and the 310 that brought Jake and I home a few weeks ago, when we were worried about Gramps. I just finished negotiating for a half-million dollar piece of land in Uni to build a private dormitory, which, by all indications, will be a fantastic hit and generate tons of money. Stoney says you develop properties then lease them out to operators, operate them yourself or sell them if they don’t reach a certain level of profitability. Although we haven’t seen Stoney in a few weeks, he did call me when he found out that Gramps had passed. Jake and I were on our way down here when he called. He set up the planes to bring my friends down here to support me. Dad, I’m not sure, but I’d bet anything on it, he took care of your mortgage and put the $50K in your bank account. That has his name written all over it. He’s the most wonderful guy ever. He’s in his mid-thirties, made millions and now is happy to mentor all of us and see what we can do with it,” I explained. They were mesmerized by what all I was telling them. “Oh, and we own a cattle ranch also, located outside the City. Greer lives there with Stoney, well while Stoney was there. Now we don’t know where he is, and he isn’t telling anyone, but he keeps his eye on everything,” I explained.
“Forgive me for asking, and maybe this is a terrible thing to ask, but I’m your father and just curious. Does he expect sex from you guys for all these good wonderful things he does for you younger guys?” Dad asked. Wow, I’d never been asked that before.
“No, Dad, he doesn’t. Have we had sex with him. Yes, Jake and I have, but he’s the most beautiful person in heart and soul you’d ever want to meet. He’s confident, and extremely talented in business, yet he has the most caring heart. When we first opened our first gay bar in the City, which a small group of my friends and I did before we even met Stoney, he frequented the place. He never dated or fraternized with any of the customers there, but he always loved talking to me and kind of flirted with me a little. Greer was our attorney that put together the bar for us there in the City, and flirted with Jake and I also. I introduced Greer to Stoney and they hit if off from the git-go. The next thing I knew, Greer moved in with him at the ranch. Oh, you have to see this ranch. It’s huge and like a resort. It has everything there, just a fantastic place. Anyway, Greer and Stoney are a couple, but Greer’s really worried and concerned because Stoney has been gone for several weeks now and won’t tell us where he is. But, he watches over us like some sort of guardian angel. I swear to you, Dad, I know he took care of that mortgage. He probably would never tell me, but it’s him, it has to be,” I assured him. Dad was amazed.
“To sum everything up. The two most wonderful loved people in my life, besides the two of you, are sitting right here beside me on this couch. I am surrounded by loving friends who have worked hard with each other, and support each other in our personal and business dealings. I could not be any happier in my life than I am right now. Oh, Stoney demanded that we stay in college and get a business degree, although right now he accuses me of writing the text books and setting up business models. We have to participate in sports and stay active in our sports fraternity. In addition to being CEO of this company, I’m also co-captain of the swim team, but mostly captain. That’s a long story also. We have to hire great people and bring them along to prosperity as we become prosperous, brother helping brother. That’s our group and we do a damn good job at what we do,” I said proudly. Zach and Jake patted me on the back. Zach got up to go get more beer, thinking we still needed some. He and Jake had downed theirs, but I did all the talking, and needed to drink some. Still, he brought me another one when he returned.
“Well, Mom, I don’t know what you think, but I couldn’t be happier for our boys if they’re that happy. I have no earthly idea how this all came about the way it did, but the success is remarkable,” Dad said, totally blown away by what I just shared with them.
“We just want you to be happy, son. Don’t overload yourselves. You have to have broad shoulders to carry the weight you’re carrying. Just don’t let anything happen to you. Promise your dad and me that,” Mom begged.
“I promise to stay happy, continue to care for others, stay loving, because I have these two to love and support me, and to be successful on top of everything else. That’s all I can do,” I said sincerely. Dad and Mom hugged all three of us again.
“The thing we all worry about is, as busy as you are and are going to be, will you have time to come and visit us anymore?” Mom asked.
“Absolutely. You wouldn’t believe how much this farm and you mean to me and us. We still know how to do farm work, and we can still come and help when we need to. I can bring reinforcements also. We have a whole troop of them. You saw a lot of them yesterday, and there are plenty more,” I assured them. Mom and Dad smiled and seemed content with everything.
Just then, Gladys returned. She had to tell us all about her evening and her widower friend. Dad gave up, and said he was going to bed, but not until he gave us a group hug, and told us he loved us one more time. Then he whispered to us, try not to bang the headboard against the wall too much tonight. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. We all told him we loved him. Then we took our beer outside to the front porch swing and gazed up at the stars.
“You really think all those billions of stars are souls that have gone to Heaven?” Jake asked.
“After seeing the falling star the night Gramps died, I think I almost have to believe it. He sent us a goodbye, telling us all was well. He was soaring in the Heavens,” I exclaimed. I got hug from my two loves.
“Well, I’m totally exhausted, but totally relieved also,” I told them.
“Josh, you couldn’t have more loving parents. You struck it rich there. They were fantastic tonight,” Jake remarked. “I feel so good right now, I just want to call up my mom and dad and tell them I’m gay and get it over with,” Jake said excitedly.
“Easy, tiger. We may have to approach them a little differently than we did Mom and Dad. Love was the central theme in our family. If yours is somewhat different, then we might have to adapt our approach a different way,” I suggested.
“Josh is right, Jake. I don’t think that approach would have worked with my dad. If I had told him I was going to be a millionaire because of my being gay, he might be able to accept that, but telling him I was gay because I loved to suck cock and get my ass fucked with a penis, well that might not go over so well,” Zach explained.
“You do have a point. I think the approach to my parents might be the corporate route first and work in the love part later. I think the business aspect might ease us into the other. And still, how the gay thing lands, only has a 50/50 chance of acceptance. I think Mom is going to be pissed. My sister will tell them, I told you so. It’s a crap shoot, but it has to be done. No way of avoiding it,” Jake commented.
We sat there for a while in silence, relieved and satisfied, we had overcome one major hurdle, and considering the outcome, were greatly relieved. Then we called it a night and headed to bed. This time we abstained from sex, but rather cuddled with each other instead, and got a good night’s sleep.
That damn rooster woke me up again. I felt good this was the last day that feathered cock could wake me up. From now on it had to be the penis type of cock, not the feathered kind.
Anxious to get back to Uni, we hurriedly did the morning feeding, the last one we could relieve Dad of having to do. We quickly showered when we returned from the barn, having a little fun with each other as we did. Mom had a big spread for breakfast, realizing this was the last time she would be able to feed us for who knew when.
“Josh, if you find out who paid off the mortgage for me, be sure and thank them. It certainly was not necessary, but I can’t tell you how wonderful it feels after an entire lifetime to be out of debt. It’s a miracle is what it is,” Dad said sincerely.
“I know, Dad. But you and Mom need to get used to some of those miracles. If Jake and I can get this new enterprise really working, you all will be set for life, with Jake, Zach and me. Gladys wanted to know if that would include her also. I told her, heck yes, why not. She just giggled.
It was tough saying our goodbyes as we left for school, still somewhat of a lingering sorrow for the family member we lost, but totally relieved I wasn’t hiding anything from my parents any longer. They finally knew the real me. I felt so relieved.
The ride back to Uni seemed to fly by, with all the stuff and people we brought Zach up to speed on. He wanted to know about all those people that showed up at the funeral. One by one, we filled him in on who they were, what they did, what their personality was like, who was living with us, the whole nine yards. Zach thought Dustin was kind of cute. We told him he had a loaded dick also, that he never seemed to run out of sperm for some reason. Zach was blown away by that. Zach thought Allen and OBB were cute as ever, having remembered them from after last Christmas, when he brought me back to school. If I remembered right, I thought they may have worked in a little intimacy at that time. He asked me when Erin was coming back. I told him I thought the end of the week or the end of the following week, then decided to call him to find out just when he was coming back. I needed to know, and he needed to make airline reservations for his return trip, unless Tom and James were going to be down there in that area, then possibly pick his ass up.
I gave him a call. “Erin, big guy, we were just wondering about you. Jake and I are on our way back from the farm, bringing Zach with us. We were all wondering when you were planning on coming back. We have orientation next week for the new swimmers, but I did mention to you, I could possibly do without you that week if you needed to help Jason one more week. What are your plans, as we kind of need to know?” I asked. I put him on speaker phone. Jake and Zach said hello to him. He chuckled at the audience.
“Josh, could I possibly ask a really, really big favor of you and you not be mad?” Erin asked. I told him it depended on how big a favor it was. “Jason and I are doing such great things with the bar, and it’s coming together so well. We’re also getting along together extremely well. Would you mind terribly if I stayed down here with Jason and continued to work at the bar?” he asked somewhat cautiously. I was kind of shocked.
“Erin, what about school. You can’t quit school. Then there’s the swim team also, and the bar up here. Not to mention we’d really miss you, but then we miss Jason also,” I rattled off.
“Jason and I have checked out a few things already. I can transfer to his college down here. They don’t have much of a swim team and when they realized that I took second in state last year, they automatically gave me the head position on the team should I decide to transfer. They even gave me a scholarship. They said they never had a team member that ever placed in a regional, much less a state competition. Jason and I could live together, share expenses on the apartment, work the bar, and increase the profitability, and I could still participate in swimming and be captain of the team if I wanted that, but I’m not sure I do. I would like to at least place for them in a major competition if I can,” Erin said confidently.
“Wow, that’s a lot to consider. What about your parents? What are they going to think, or have you asked them about doing what you’re proposing?” I asked, a little concerned as to how he could explain that away.
“I kind of dropped a hint about doing something different this year. You know how much Dad really thinks what you’re doing with the businesses is fantastic, but he thinks if I’m down here, I’ll lose out on future opportunities by not staying with you,” Erin explained.
“Does he know the pub down there is part of us now?” I asked.
“I tried to explain to him that I was helping to manage one of our satellite operations. He thought it was really strange that we had one way down there. I’m sure before this is all over, he’ll need to call you and pick your brain about all this. He’s thinks I need to glue myself to your side and take advantage of everything that comes our way. If I’m down here, he thinks I’ll miss out on opportunities. I told him I was already invested in the company and it had made more acquisitions since the time of the investment, which just made that investment that more profitable. Still, he’s a little concerned. I know he’ll want to call you and talk to you, if you let me stay here,” Erin explained.
“Erin, do you really want to stay down there? I mean, you have all your friends up here and the swim team, the CNB2, and we just got the land for the new dormitory we’re going to build. I thought you might want to be part of that also, not that you won’t financially, but be a part of the planning, development and construction of it, although we’re going to have to have more professional hands on deck for this one,” I advised him.
“I will miss all that, Josh. More than that, I’ll miss you and Jake terribly. But I think Jason and I love each other very much. I don’t want to screw this up. We have a great relationship with each other and with the staff of the Tight Jock. I’m having a blast working here, and I’d have a hard time leaving Jason and going back up there. I’d miss him too much. It’d break my heart, Josh. It’d be like you leaving Jake after all this time together. It’s that serious, I swear,” Erin replied.
I looked over at Jake. He nodded that we might as well let him do it. We’d be down there occasionally, and we could always shuttle him back and forth when Tom and James had a charter in the vicinity, similar to what we did with aunt Gladys. That did make sense. Transportation would be cheap in that sense.
“Erin, I guess if your heart is in it, we need to let you follow your heart. You know how much we all love you. Our love for you will never change, nor will the opportunities in this company be any less for you with you down there. Hell, we may have you and Jason replace yourselves down there, sometime in the future, and send you somewhere else to take over another bar,” I told him. Erin was ecstatic and excited. It took a while to calm him down.
“Josh, my love for you only continues to grow by the day. That goes for Jake and all the rest of the guys. I couldn’t be loved any greater by any group of guys. Jason feels that way also. By the way, his cock fits fabulously in my ass, in case you didn’t know that,” Erin said dreamily.
“Thanks for that tidbit of information. You saying mine and Jake’s didn’t?” I asked curtly.
“No, no, no, but I wanted you to know how beautiful it is to make love to him. We just love each other so much, like you and Jake. I know you know what that feels like to own each other’s souls, feeling like you’re living as one. Oh, it’s so wonderful,” Erin said, totally smitten by Jason. I had to think, who wouldn’t be.
“You know you haven’t been with Zach yet. You might change your mind about Jason after one night with Zach. He’s going to be disappointed that he’s not sleeping with you tonight. He was really looking forward to it, you know,” I reminded him.
“Oh, gawd, yes. I know. He’s such a sweetheart, and I know we’d be loving friends. Jason and I both need to sleep with Zach sometime and really get to know him, but we’ll be up there and you’ll be down here, so it’ll happen in time, a time we’ll really look forward to. I’m sure Dustin will be just as dreamy for him, and then there’s the two of you that won’t want to let him go. I’m sure of that,” Erin replied.
“I don’t know, Erin. I have a boner just sitting here listening to you talk to Josh and Jake. I was looking forward to planting that in your ass several times tonight. Now, I guess I’ll just have to jack off,” Zach told him. We heard Erin chuckle.
“As long as Josh and Jake are around, Zach, you will never have to jack off. Trust me on that one,” Erin replied. “I will miss being with you, but we’ll get together in the not too distant future. We’ll make that happen. You guys have to come back again for Spring Break anyway. Wait until you see the nude beach, Zach. OMG, it’ll make your dick hard for weeks,” Erin told us. I had to agree on that one, just ask Jordan.
Erin asked about Jordan and how he was doing. He said he and Jason enjoyed the time they got to shower with him while he was here. They loved his big low-hanger balls, and his hot body. They wished he would have played, but were glad they got to play with him some in the shower.
I told Erin we would plan on him staying down there then. He needed to make sure he was enrolled in college with Jason and they got their education like we all agreed to. I told him that was part of our shareholder agreement, we got our business degree and participated in sports, as part of our overall preparation for senior management positions for the enterprise we were building. Erin promised he and Jason were firmly on board. Then he warned me about his father calling me and asking probing questions. I told him I would try to handle it professionally and discreetly if that happened. He told us all, over and over, that he loved us and would miss us, but he was never more excited about anything in his life. I told him I was proud of him for taking this responsibility on his own and for helping Jason and loving him like he did. He said he was more than proud to admit he deeply loved Jason and everything about being down there with him.
After hanging up, Jake said he was concerned this might happen, but thought it wasn’t a bad thing when you thought about it. We’d miss him, but with the aviation department and what seemed to be frequent charter trips to the Florida area by Tom and James, it just might work out rather well. I had to agree, the more I thought about it.
too hot
