Chapter 375 – Brunch and Preparation For Thanksgiving Dinner
Our evening get-together lasted for several hours. While it was fun, and everyone enjoyed meeting one another, it was exhausting also, standing on our feet all those hours. There was still some food left over. No one went hungry or lacked thirst tonight. Everyone had a great time and considered it a great success.
Around 9:00 everyone was kind of tired, and started heading back to their hotels. Mom and Dad gave me a big hugs and kisses, telling me how proud they were of me and all of us for, not only having this event, but for all the great work we had done together to build a business like we had going. Dad said he never ever envisioned anything like what we put together. I told him I never had either, but it just all worked out, and we had to do something with it. He told me he was really proud of me and my friends. I told him I was thankful to him and Mom for the great raising and homelife they gave me. I thought Dad was going to cry. Mom already was.
“Oh, we saw Clyde the other day. He said to give you his best and to get your butt back home sometime to see him. He said he’d seen Beau already, who was home for Thanksgiving. They were getting together sometime in the next couple of days. He said it wouldn’t be the same without you. He said not to get too big of britches and forget about your humble friends,” Dad informed me. I laughed, and asked him how it was possible to forget about someone like Beau and Clyde. Dad said that was the truth.
“Did Thad fix you up with a nice hotel room?” I asked them. They both smiled.
“Son, it’s the nicest place we’ve ever stayed in. I’m going to have a hard time getting your mother to leave when we have to go home,” Dad said, smiling. That made me happy to hear. I got another hug, then they took off, promising to return in the morning.
After everyone left, we all pitched in and helped clean up. I thanked everyone for helping to make this a nice affair, one our families could all enjoy and be proud of. I told them tomorrow, we’d have a chance for them all to say something to the whole group, like expressing what they were thankful for, if anyone was so inclined. If they wanted to say something, then to be thinking about it.
Trevor asked if anyone needed a place to stay, as they had room if someone needed to stay with them. I thought we had everyone pretty much taken care of. Terry came up to Jake and me and said he could go back to his place tonight to give us more room. Zach heard him tell us that, and told him it’d be nice if he’d stay with us again, as he was looking forward to more Terry time tonight. Terry told Zach, that gave him a boner. I told him we’d love to have him stay also, making Jake happy as well. Mick was already palling around with Allen, OBB and Aiden. Luke was chomping at the bit to get naked with all of us. They had their overnight stuff with them, ready to enjoy themselves.
I caught Eric and told him to get out of here and go home. “Josh, the in-laws are at my apartment putting Little Josh down, so I need a few more minutes until they clear out, before it’s safe to go home,” Eric informed me.
“Are they really that bad?” I asked. He frowned at me.
“I still get the shit of where is this job going, working in a gay bar and trying to go to school. They act as if it’s futile trying to do what I’m doing. I just get sick of it. I reminded them that I make good money with my salary and tips, and am providing for my family. Then I get this shit that it’s weird hours and I should spend more time with my family. Then they laid on me the fact that it might not be a good environment bringing up a child in. Who the hell do they think they are, Josh? I mean really. How ignorant can they be? I told them flat out they didn’t know what they were talking about, and you guys could not have been more wonderful to me and my family. You and the guys are my brothers, Josh,” he said, emphatically. “Hell, they still think I should take a factory job back close to them. I keep telling them, that’s not me. I want my education, and I am going to have a decent job when I graduate. I keep telling them all the things you guys have going with the company, and how we could all benefit in the future by staying involved,” he informed me.
“So, they’re still putting the pressure on you to do what they did, and not live a life of your own?” I asked. He nodded yes.
“Don’t worry, I’m not leaving you and not listening to what they have to say. But it works on Maddy also, which doesn’t help matters. She’d like to be closer to them so she could have some free time herself, by having help with the baby. I try to give her time off when I’m at home and let her go grocery shopping or just get out and do some shopping for herself. It isn’t easy, but we put ourselves in this position, and we have to make the best of it,” Eric reminded me. I hugged him.
“Eric, if it makes any difference, you’re in the next class of new shareholders. You’ve proved your worth and your value to the business. You’re going to be part of what we have going forward, which means, you’re going to make a whole lot of money in your lifetime and won’t have to hope to find a job when you finally do graduate. We’ll have plenty of jobs available for all of us at that point. You’re going to end up with a corporate position in a very large company you helped to build. I don’t care if you tell your in-laws, but just tell them to keep that under wraps until it happens, which won’t be much longer. We were just talking the other day about our next group of guys we want to bring in. You were at the top of the list. We all love you, buddy. Although you’re straight, you’re cool and get along great with all of us. You’re totally dedicated to all of us and love us all like brothers. You have to be a part of our future as well as our present, Eric,” I assured him. He grabbed me and hugged me something fierce.
“As much as I love you, I could become gay just for you, Josh,” he said, hugging me.
“You’re starting to make me hard,” I chided. Eric laughed and let me go, but kissed me quickly on the lips.
“Josh, I can’t help but love you as much as I love Maddy and Little Josh,” Eric remarked. “You’ve been more like family than my own family. I just love you so much,” he said, sincerely.
“I think you proved that a couple of times already, if I remember, and trust me, I’ll never forget,” I reminded him. Eric blushed.
“It was as meaningful to me as it was to you, Josh. Every bit of it. I could do it again tomorrow,” he assured me, with a big smile, making me blush.
“So, go home and tell the in-laws to get off your back, as you’re going to be a wealthy man someday, and they just need to accept the fact it’s going to happen,” I told him. He hugged me again, telling me he loved me so much. I reminded him to keep this to himself, other than his family, until it was announced. He told me he could handle that.
We eventually got things cleaned up and in good shape for the big celebration tomorrow. Fritz had finally gone home, but the kitchen smelled great. You could smell all kinds of spices in there, which meant he had baked some delicious things, I was sure.
Everyone that was staying with us finally made it upstairs and got down to their briefs. We all had a beer together. Luke looked lustful, eager to get a cock up his ass, I could tell. Mick was half crazy also, eager to get some action he hadn’t had since we were at Jake’s family’s home for his dad’s birthday party. I hadn’t had a chance to talk to either of them, having met with most everyone that came tonight.
“So, Luke, have you applied and been accepted to Uni next semester?” I asked him, realizing it wasn’t that far away.
“Got it all handled. My father is still onboard, but it seems as if he’s had a conversation with your father, Jake. By now, my parents know most of the guys in the group are gay, including you, Cuz. Kind of set my dad and mom back a bit. They asked me how I felt about associating with mostly gay guys in this organization. I told them I loved my cousin as a brother, and I considered all his friends to be the same. My parents wanted to know if I could cope with some of the ‘things’ you guys did. I told them you were completely normal as far as I was concerned. I’d never seen anything strange out of you. They did finally ask me if I was gay. I asked them if that mattered and would they still love me if I was. That took them back a little. They said they truly wished I wasn’t gay, but if I was, they would still love me. They asked me to carefully think through all of what that meant and not make any hasty conclusion. I told them I always thought important things through, which is what they taught me to do, to be fair and objective. So, I didn’t tell them yes or no, but I think they are getting the idea it’s possible I’m gay,” Luke replied. “Mick, if you want to live, you’ll keep your mouth shut also,” Luke warned Mick.
“Hey, I’m just as guilty with all this. I like you guys. I’m not so sure I’d like just any guy, but I sure as hell like you guys. I still like Linda, but I know she only keeps me around for sex, and as soon as she can find someone better, I’m history anyway, so what the hell,” Mick replied. I shook my head along with Jake.
“Now, all we have to do, is find a place for you to stay. We’re kind of full up here, but we’ll see what we can come up with,” Jake mentioned.
“Fine with me. Find me a hot gay guy to live with while you’re at it,” Luke requested. Jake said we’d keep that in mind.
“Hey, maybe Edgar can work his magic at housing and you can replace my roommate,” Chase offered. “I have a feeling he’s not coming back next semester. Hell, he may not even come back from Break,” Chase added. “I promise you, we can have some fun.”
“Well, things are looking up. I don’t remember meeting you the last time I was here,” Luke told Chase. Chase smiled.
“Yeh, I kind of met these guys by accident, which was a Godsend, actually. Josh got me a basketball scholarship, by pleading for me to make the team with the coach. I got to spend a couple of weeks with the guys this summer before school started, and got to know them exceptionally well, you might say. Best group of guys ever. Since then, there have been a few additions like Dylan, Ethan and Aiden. Zach wasn’t here then, but I got to know him real well last night. He’s someone I’ll never forget. His roommate is Brady, but he’s at home on Break at the moment. I hear Brady is a hot number also. Allen and OBB are always special,” Chase mentioned.
“Amen to that,” Mick chimed in. “Very, very special.”
“I don’t remember Edgar, Jeb or Terry from last time either,” Luke remarked. “You’ve added some hot additions to the team, if you ask me.” Edgar and Jeb blushed, and Terry chuckled.
“Jake and I are partners on the gymnastics team, Luke. My boyfriend kind of went off the deep end, so I moved out, and Josh and Jake have been wonderful supportive friends. I just met Chase last night myself, also, Zach in an intimate way, and now you. Yes, things are definitely looking up here with all the great guys Josh and Jake have befriended and employed,” Terry responded. Luke smiled happily.
“We love all the guys here, Luke. You will also. Josh and Jake have been lifesavers to most of us in many ways, as well as all the other guys. You couldn’t have found a greater group of guys anywhere to care about you and have fun with. We’d work with them for life,” Jeb said, from his heart.
“I have to believe that, just knowing some of the guys from before. They all really care,” Luke replied. “I can’t wait to get here and be a part of it all. I wish it was next semester already.”
“So, what happened to the guy you were fooling around with at your school?” Jake asked Luke. Luke looked a little embarrassed.
“I kind of had to tell him he wasn’t any good at sex and that I spent the weekend with some friends who showed me how wonderful it all could be. Well, that pissed him off. We kind of ended the relationship we had, not that it was going anywhere anyway. It was more out of convenience than anything else. He knew I was transferring here to Uni next semester anyway,” Luke informed us. “I think he’s hooking up with guys on Grindr and crap like that now. Good luck, is all I can say.”
“Tell him to watch out for a guy named Axle. That would not be a good match,” Terry told Luke. Luke asked him who Axle was. “He’s my ex, and, apparently, has been with almost half the guys on campus. He’s a very needy bottom and very arrogant also. It seems he was fucking almost everyone on campus, straight and gay, for all I know, right behind my back while we were still living together. I caught him a few times also. Josh met him last summer, on an airplane going to Chicago, and he seemed like a great guy. Turns out, we all had something in common. Josh was Jake’s boyfriend and I was Peter’s boyfriend, Peter being Axle on Grindr. I have no idea why. None of us knew he had a secret life going on behind the scenes. Well, we do now,” Terry stated. That was for sure, I had to think.
Terry noticed Luke staring at him all the time they were talking about ex’s. “Luke, what are you staring at?” Terry asked him. Luke blushed, acting a bit embarrassed.
“You have a beautiful chest, Terry. I can’t help but stare at it. It’s like Jake’s. I was always in love with Jake’s chest. Must be that gymnastics thing. Maybe I need to take gymnastics as an elective to get a chest like that. I just have a little definition,” Luke explained.
“I don’t know. I think your chest and pecs are kind of hot. You do have some definition of abs going on there, at least the makings of some. The rest of you looks hot as hell. I can certainly tell you and Jake are related,” Terry replied, complimenting Luke.
“You really think I look okay? I mean, I’m sitting with some athletes here, and I don’t do any sports, except work out once in a blue moon, and never enough to gain any definition,” Luke replied.
“Oh, Luke, you look perfect the way you are, as far as I’m concerned. I mean, Jake and I see guys like us every day at practice, and I guess we just get used to it. But guys like you are just perfect the way you are. We both have a great appreciation for bodies like yours,” Terry replied. I detected some stiffness in Luke’s briefs after that short interchange.
“Yeh, I have to practice with taller guys than me every day. They all have gorgeous legs, all they way up to their, well, you know where. Anyway, I like normal guys also, instead of the muscle bound type. Take Dustin for example,” Chase started to say.
“Take me and take me hard,” Dustin chimed in, making us all laugh.
“Oh, I intend to, as soon as we get a chance,” Chase replied. “Anyway, to me he has a the body that trips my trigger, him and the swimmers like Josh, Ethan, Aiden and absolutely Zach. Now, Zach got me off so many times last night, I lost count. His cock felt so good in my ass, and when he stared into my eyes and kissed me, I wanted to melt, but I couldn’t’ because my cock erupted and sent cum everywhere, he made me cum so hard,” Chase confessed. Zach smiled.
“What about guys like me?” Mick asked. We looked at his scrawny ass and kind of chuckled. He looked a little embarrassed, he even asked the question.
“Hey, Mick, your ass is hot. Don’t let the athletes intimidate you. OBB, Aiden and I’ll fuck your brains out later. I just hope you have enough ball juice to last,” Allen promised him. Mick grinned from ear to ear.
“So, what’s the deal with you, Mick?” Ethan asked him. “I thought you were dating and, obviously fucking, Jake’s sister.” Mick smiled.
“I am, but like I said, I think I’m just along for the ride for my dick, until she finds a better one. Let’s just say I’m a convenience for her right now. The guys here have shown me that sex is a hell of a lot more satisfying and intense between guys. I’m not ashamed to cross over. Especially, when the sex is so much hotter on this side,” Mick explained. “I know you’ve tried both, so what’s holding you back?” Mick asked Ethan. Ethan was at a loss for words.
“Yeh, Ethan, what’s holding you back?” Dustin chided. Ethan frowned at Dustin.
“It’s just weird. I have to admit, that the blow jobs the guys give me rock my world. My girlfriend can’t begin to compare. I don’t know, there’s just something weird about sticking another guys dick in your mouth, sucking on something you piss through. It just kind of freaks me out. I mean, I can do it, but it doesn’t do anything for me. Now, I like having it done to me, but I have a hard time reciprocating,” Ethan replied.
“That’s for damn sure,” Dustin piped in. Ethan shot him a glare.
“I wish I could handle it better because these guys love what they do with each other, and sometimes I wish I could be a bigger part of what they do. I mean I jump in at times and do a little, but it doesn’t come natural for me. I just hope you guys don’t resent me, because I can’t enjoy it like you all do,” Ethan shared.
“I keep telling you, we love you just the same, Ethan. You don’t have to do those things. If you’re straight, your straight, and you just can’t turn one preference off and start up another. There’s nothing wrong with being the way you are. You’ve at least tried it, and that’s more than I can say for most straight guys. At least you don’t freak out when a dude sucks your cock, and you’ve admitted, you actually enjoy it. That’s a major breakthrough, when you think about it,” I commented, trying to help him out here.
“I think so. Dustin doesn’t, but I do. Still, I get the feeling that I’m an outsider at times, because I won’t fuck a dude in the ass or suck a dick. I don’t want to feel like that, but it happens at times,” Ethan confessed.
“I’m sorry if I make you feel bad at times, Ethan. I don’t mean to, but there are times, I guess I do mean to. It’s just that you’re around when we do some things and you like us to service you, but you’re unwilling to reciprocate. In our world, it’s usually a two way street. We try to pleasure each other, and with you, it comes across as you being selfish, not to reciprocate in some way,” Dustin tried to explain.
“I know, and I’m sorry, but I feel like I want to do something with you guys, but I just can’t force myself to do most things. I’m getting good at kissing and maybe a little better at sucking cock, but don’t tell anyone I’ve done that,” he warned, making us all laugh. “It’s not funny, guys. You get a bad rep as a cocksucker. I don’t need that,” Ethan assured us.
“Oh, but it’s okay for us to be labeled as such, just not you?” Dustin asked, getting a little pissed. Ethan wasn’t sure how to dig himself out of this one.
“I think what he’s trying to say is that we are gay and people automatically assume we suck cock, and rightly so. I wouldn’t have it any other way. However, he is straight, so we don’t need anyone assuming he sucks cock on the side. He loves us as his friends, just not physically, even though he cheats from time to time,” I said, chuckling at the end.
“Yeh, that’s it, what Josh said,” Ethan interjected. Dustin was sitting close to him and got up and tackled Ethan to the ground, Ethan laughing, but yelling for us to save him. Dusting got his briefs down far enough to stick his finger up Dustin’s asshole, while he wiggled all over the place like a stuck pig. Dustin finally let him up. “What the fuck, Dustin?” Ethan asked, as he pulled up his briefs back up over his semi-hard cock.
“Well, guys, don’t let anyone know that Ethan got a boner when I fingered his asshole. We wouldn’t want that to get around that he liked it. Who knows, next he might just like a dude’s dick up his ass,,” Dustin paraphrased Ethan. We all laughed, including Ethan, being a good sport about things.
“Nice junk, Ethan,” Luke complimented him, making Ethan smile. Chase echoed Luke’s sentiments.
“See, you do like certain things. I can suck your cock and tease your asshole and make you cum so fucking hard. You know that too, don’t you,” Dustin proclaimed. Ethan gave us all a shit-eating grin.
“Okay, you know the trigger points to stimulate a male orgasm better than anyone. That doesn’t mean I do it that often. I think you could make any straight guy cum hard doing that to him,” Ethan replied.
“Ah, the trick is to get him to let you. That usually doesn’t happen, but you have no problem with that, having experienced it before and enjoyed it when you did,” Dustin retorted.
“Okay, this conversation’s going nowhere,” Ethan replied, suggesting we drop it. Dustin wasn’t done with him, but he did give up, as I suggested anyone that wanted to shower should get naked and join us in the shower, as we finished up our beers.
I think everyone was ready to get naked and get on with it. Even Edgar and Jeb got naked, and followed their boners to the shower. Luke was hard as a rock and Chase was getting there with him. Dustin couldn’t help himself. Allen, OBB and Aiden were also hard, in anticipation of what was to come. Terry, Zach, Jake and I were more subdued, it wouldn’t have taken much to get us to full mast with all this hot dick and ass around us. Ethan sat it out, electing to go play some video games with Dylan in their room, after the adamant statements he made about male sex. I guess he thought he needed to walk the walk.
Luke latched onto Terry immediately when we hit the showers. Chase jumped on helping out Dustin, his old roomie, that ditched him for another guy the night before. Jake and I thought that was interesting, considering Chase knew the truth. We figured their horniness for each other overpowered the guilt of Dustin and the hurt of Chase, erasing the slate to give them a night of lust once more for the two lustful guys. Zach was attending to Jake, who, with Zach, were mixing with the rest of the guys. I was coaching Jeb and Edgar, teaching them how to stretch assholes with their fingers, but do it gently. It was a little awkward at first, but then they got it down, almost giving each other orgasms, as close as they got to triggering their prostates. I had them practice sucking my cock to see if their techniques had improved any. To my surprise, they had, after one whole night of sucking one another’s cocks. I was impressed at their fast learning curve. These two were so excited to experience sex with one another and other males, it was almost overwhelming to them. I just hoped they didn’t wear out their dicks and balls not able to experience enough, fast enough. I figured that might slow down some, once we got them into anal, which wouldn’t happen for another couple of nights, from what I figured.
Half the guys piled on me, sucking my cock, fingering my asshole, Dustin even sticking his cock up my asshole for a few moments. I got my balls sucked and licked, my nipples chewed on, the whole works, almost triggering an orgasm. Somewhat water logged, we decided it might be better to play on dry land. We shut off the water and dried off, our cocks boned to the max and wanting release. Aiden, Mick, OBB and Allen headed to Allen and OBB’s room, wanting some intimate sex amongst themselves. I ushered Jeb and Edgar into their bedroom, their dicks anxious for one another in the worst way. The rest of us headed to the living room and laid out on the floor, sucking one another off, in a daisy chain of sorts, then getting some orgy action going between all of us. Eventually, after cumming a couple of times, we wore ourselves out. Everyone seemed to try out each other, both giving and receiving, until all curiosity had been satisfied. At this point, I was tired and ready for bed. There were seven of us left. Chase wanted more time with Dustin, at this point, and I could tell Luke definitely had the hots for Terry. That seemed to play well with Zach, Jake and me, so we let the two couples take the mattress on the floor in our bedroom and Jake, Zach and I piled into our bed, telling anyone that got crowded or cramped it join us throughout the night if needed. Jake and I put Zach between us and loved on him for another half-hour or so, then finally fell asleep. While the others were fairly quiet, they were also fairly busy, with little moans and grunts audible during the night, enough to think you were dreaming, but were an actual reality.
Morning was a killer, because we had to get up early to get ready for Fritz’s famous brunch and day full of family. We hurriedly got cleaned up, the masses all showering together, with little time for playing with cocks and asses, although we couldn’t help ourselves. We managed to get hard in a second, and stay that way the duration of the shower. I had a few lips on my dick, as did most of the other guys, but we managed to shower and clean up in record time somehow. I told them brunch was casual, then we’d change for the main event later. That meant we could wear jeans and t-shirts for a casual brunch, then get more formal for dinner. We had instructed our guests it was casual also.
The place smelled terrific. Not only were there fresh cinnamon rolls in the oven, but some of the main course for later was already cooking. Fritz prided himself as having everything under control and on time to his satisfaction. There were several pumpkin pies already baked and ready for consumption for later. He had coconut crème pie, pecan pie, chocolate crème pie, apple and cherry pie also, just to name a few of the deserts. For brunch, he had scrambled eggs, cinnamon rolls, bacon, sausage, an assortment of yogurts, pancakes and waffles, with plenty of syrups and toppings, including whipped cream for those that liked to get carried away. He even had oatmeal with brown sugar and raisins. He had urns of coffee, regular and decaffeinated, out on the food table for people to pour their own, along with a selection of coffee creamers, sweeteners and sugars, then hot water for tea. Also he had several selections of juices to choose from. I swear his brunch topped some of the more expensive hotels, I stayed in with Stoney, when it came to breakfast. I was afraid I was going to eat too much and not want to have the main course.
We worked our asses off to get it all laid out before our families arrived. They came filing in around 9:30, marveling at all the offerings, telling us all how wonderful everything was and had been so far. Fritz came out in his white chef’s apron and chef’s hat, and I introduced him again to our group. He took a bow and got a standing ovation and applause. Everything was super and delicious.
I noticed Heinie was in the kitchen helping Fritz. He gave me a bro hug when he saw me, saying it was good to see me again. He asked me how Trent was doing. I told him he was doing much better finally, after suffering another setback with a rebound boyfriend. Heinie said Fritz had told him about Jerome, and he was sorry to hear it. I told him he was doing much better now, as he had a new boyfriend that we all knew and liked before they got together. Heinie said to keep an eye on Trent, to try to make sure he stayed happy, as in many of these cases there were relapses. That kind of stunned me, but Heinie always seemed to know what he was talking about. Trent came into the kitchen to get something and Heinie greeted him. Trent was very friendly towards Heinie this time. I was relieved to see that. Maybe Heinie did have Trent’s best interests at heart. Cody was here helping out also. He gave me a quick hug and a kiss in the kitchen, making me feel good.
I carried another platter of bacon out to the food table, even though most everyone had served themselves already. Still, it didn’t take long for the bacon to evaporate. I guess we had some hungry guys this morning, worn out with an exceptional amount of male sex last night.
I ran into Eric’s father-in-law, who wanted to know if he could talk to me for a second. I stepped aside with him back by the restrooms. “Josh, I know you have a huge influence on Eric and you truly care about his well-being,” he started off saying. “We’ve been trying to get him to find another job closer to where we live so that we could help out Maddy with the baby, and give her a little time off. You know starting off married life with a baby right out of the box, when the two haven’t had hardly any time together to really get to know each other, is tough on a marriage. Maddy misses us, and we miss her and the baby also, so it seems like it might be a good idea if maybe they moved back out way. I know a good company where Eric could get employment at $15 per hour, which is a good starting wage right now,” he informed me. I listened, but was getting a little perturbed. “There’s a little house two doors down from us that they could rent fairly cheap, and we’d all be together to help one another out. Don’t you think that would be a good opportunity for him?” Eric’s father-in-law asked, hoping I’d share his same excitement. “Could you possibly talk to him and see if you could persuade him to maybe consider moving back our way and trying that out?” he asked. I was loaded for bear at this point.
“Well, let me ask you this. Would you give up a $25 an hour job, plus tips which could easily be another 20% of your earnings, which is another, what, $5 per hour, and usually considerably more in our business, and have your school tuition paid for to get your college education, which, mind you, because of his work schedule, it’ll take him a couple more years to get through school, but he’ll have a college education at that point, and he’ll also have a permanent position available to him with our company upon graduation, if not before, where he could probably start out at, let’s say, $100K per year plus bonus and possibly a car. Would you give all that opportunity up for a $15 per hour job, or even $25 per hour job just to live a couple of doors down from you guys when he could move you over here in a couple of years and buy you a new home? Somehow, I think Eric might have analyzed this pretty well so far. What he does is up to him, Sir, but he’s eligible to be a shareholder in our company, which has amassed some pretty impressive net worth and assets, with more to come in the very near future, a future Eric will play a significant part in, and will probably be a millionaire before he’s 30 or 35. If you can talk him into moving, so be it. Me, I wouldn’t move for the world with that kind of opportunity,” I told him. He looked shocked.
“I see what you mean, Josh. Wow, I didn’t realize all that was at stake. Gees, almost makes me want to move over here and work for you,” he said, as if he was considering it.
“Hey, we hire plenty of people every day. If you’re any good at construction, we have two major projects going on. We have a dormitory we have to staff in all positions opening up next fall with plenty of opportunities for employees of all ages. I know the boss and can put in a good word for you,” I chuckled.
“Who is the boss?” he asked. I rolled my eyes.
“I am, Sir. I’m the CEO of our corporation and Eric, well he’s one of my best friends. You think I might want to take care of him for the future?” I asked him. It was like lightening hit him.
“Wow, now I get it. I see why he was so excited about being on your team,” he replied.
“You think you’re excited now, wait until I make my presentation this afternoon and reveal all the corporate assets and businesses. Do you realize we even own an airline?” I asked him. He said no one ever told him all of this before. “Maybe you should sit down with Eric and really listen to what his dreams are, Sir, instead of trying to figure those out for him. He is an extremely intelligent and ambitious individual, wanting to give Maddy a great and exciting life along with Little Josh and future children. I think he might want to make sure he makes enough money to take care of you and the Mrs. in your retirement days also. That won’t be any problem for him at all, where he’s going. But, if you think he’s better off with the $15 an hour job and the cottage two houses down from you, then you go for it. Somehow, I don’t think he’ll be interested,” I informed him.
“Let’s just say, I’m a much better educated person now than I was a few minutes ago, before I talked to you. I really appreciate this conversation, Josh. You just keep thinking about your best friend in a good light, and keep him on track for what you have planned,” he urged. I slapped him on the back and said, ‘good talk’, then headed out, chuckling to myself.
Mom was still trying to steal Little Josh as often as she could get her hands on him. Dad said she hadn’t been this excited in he didn’t know how long. I was glad that Eric helped me out in that area. You never know when a breeder might come in handy. I needed to encourage him to have a few more kids to keep Mom busy babysitting when she retired. Then I thought, maybe Ethan might surprise us sometime, but hopefully not for a few years, and only after he found a decent woman to settle down with.
Everyone seemed stuffed after brunch. A few of the guys volunteered to take anyone that wanted to go to tour the dormitory construction site. We told them they could tour that or head back to their hotels, as we had to set up for the Thanksgiving dinner. Dad said all he had done since he had been here was eat and drink. I told him to enjoy it while he could. Mom wanted to tour the kitchen and talk to Fritz, she enjoyed his cooking so much. They had a lively conversation, that involved what all I really enjoyed eating when I was growing up and she was feeding me. She wanted Fritz to know what I needed, and put him in charge of making sure I ate right. I’m sure he humored her, as he had no more control over that than night and day. He told me later, she was the sweetest lady he’d ever met, and had to be the dearest mother of all times. I told him I was pretty fond of her.
Once we got the place cleaned up after brunch, we arranged all the tables the way that Thad, Zach and Brady had worked them all out, according to the diagram. It was definitely a lot of work, but we had fun with one another doing it. A few of us got goosed as we moved tables, all having fun in the process. We did manage to work up a sweat, getting everything in place, then having to put table cloths on all of the tables. Zach set about putting all the place cards at their proper locations. We then set about putting the table settings together, along with wine and water glasses. Thad had researched this thoroughly and left nothing out. Even Cliff was helping out. Fritz reminded us that he had fresh flowers for the tables in the light cooler. We brought all those out and put them in place. You could smell the turkey roasting and all kinds of other spices filling the air, as we worked to make everything look perfect. The TV’s were all set up and working, showing the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade, then later the Philadelphia National Dog Show. We weren’t really watching it, but that’s what was on.
Jordan and Buzz came by and gave me my rundown on the financials I wanted to share. We had a screen and projector set up with a PowerPoint presentation for my report. We had pictures of the dormitory construction site, along with a slide telling how many rooms we had to accommodate, the number of students we planned to house, the common areas, swimming pool, exercise center, convenience store, technical center, conference center for businesses to use or professors to tutor. We even had drawings of the VIP suites we intended to offer or possibly use ourselves. Then we had the aviation presentation showing our fleet of aircraft, our new enlarged hangers, our flight planning center tied into radar sites across the country, our direct line to Flight Service for filing flight plans, our passenger lounge, then statistics of number of miles flown by the fleet in a year and projected annual revenues and profits. We did the same setup for the ranch, showing the spread, the feeding equipment, feed lots, number of cattle processed through per year and different stages of development, along with the financials and profit projections. We had several slides for the office building, showing what it was going to look like and profit projections for it as well, virtually giving us all the office space we needed at no cost, because of the leased out areas on the lower floors. Then we had the bars. We showed their locations, but didn’t exactly put pictures of the fronts of the bars. We had slides that showed the revenues for each one and the profit projections of each bar, then a total for the hospitality and entertainment part of our business. Of course, we had to have one for our resort in Florida also, which we did call by name, the Pink Flamingo, and did have a picture of the front, guest suites, swimming pool and spa, but nothing showing any naked guys there. We did have profit projections for that also, and the fact that our previous CFO and Chief Counsel was managing the facility.
Jordan ran through the report with me, then we did a dry run on the PowerPoint presentation. I had copies of all the slides printed out in front of me in order, so I could read and talk about everything on a slide while it was up there, then hit the remote to move to the next slide. Jordan had even worked in some animation between the slides. It was extremely professional. I planned to go through this rather quickly other than some of the pictures, as I didn’t want to bore our guests with numbers. The consolidated number at the end would shock them, however. If Eric’s father-in-law had any reservations about Eric staying and growing with the company, they would vaporize, once he saw our consolidated numbers, and that would only improve annually. I almost got a hardon reading them myself.
“Fuck, are these right?” I asked Jordan. Jordan smiled,
“Right as fuck, Josh. Didn’t think these would be as big as they are did you?” he chided.
“Nothing quite like this. I guess we just never got around to adding them all up and consolidating all the companies,” I replied.
“Ken just got this completed. We’re finally at a point where we can drag the numbers in monthly now. We have a lot more work to do to get them where they’ll be at our fingertips practically daily, but we’re getting there. Jonas has been a big help and your bullpen is doing a remarkable job,” Jordan informed me. I shook my head in amazement. “You need to compliment all the guys for all the effort they put into this to get it ready for you. They overdid it, really. Curtis probably put in the most additional hours of all of them. He said he wanted it to be a great presentation. That took a lot of heat off of Ken and Jonas, although Jonas really outdid himself also and Ken. You need to seriously thank them,” Jordan suggested.
“Thank them, like spending time with them on the conference room table or possibly monetarily?” I chided. Jordan smiled. Buzz didn’t have a clue as to what we were talking about.
“Give them a hug and recognize them here today, as all the guys are going to be here, I think. Ken, Jonas and Curtis are definitely here from accounting. Hell, even Nate pitched in on some of it, so you might want to thank hm also,” Jordan added.
“You too, Jord. I mean, you’ve been a Godsend to me ever since you started and Greer kind of abandoned us. I owe you a lot also,” I admitted. Jordan smiled.
“Well, you can tell me about it sometime in the conference room if you like. I know I would,” Jordan replied. Buzz was clueless. I told Jordan it was a date.
“I’m bringing in the large models of the new buildings for you to display. We have a table for each of them, as they are rather large,” Buzz informed me. Just then, Cody and Trent came in carrying the model of the dormitory, then Zach and Chase had the model of the office building. Even I, who had seen sketches and drawings galore of these projects, was impressed to no end.
“Wow, these are really great, Buzz, so realistic,” I commented. Buzz smiled, proudly.
“They better be, they cost me a small fortune, but that’s in our architectural agreement, and I made good,” he replied. I gave him a quick kiss and hug, which seemed to really please him. “Oh, wow, maybe I ought to take part in your upcoming conference if you’re that excited about two models,” Buzz commented. Jordan and I looked at one another and laughed.
With everything in place, and us going through the dry run of the report, I could get through the whole thing in less than 20 minutes. Allowing time to introduce the staff, and thank everyone for their excellent effort up to this point, we were looking at a total of at least a half-hour for the presentation and questions. Then we would open the bar again and turn on the football games for anyone that wanted to watch football while the rest of the group visited with each other.
I finally gathered the troops together for Thad to give them last minute instructions. He was brief, telling us all who was responsible for what duties to start off when our guests re-arrived. Also, who was serving today, and he had special uniforms for them – formal ruffled shirts, bow ties, black dress trousers, belt and black shinny shoes to make them look like waiters in a high class restaurant. Thad had thought of everything, it seemed.
“One slight suggestion, those of you wearing the formal serving attire. These came from our costume department, so, if you’re not careful, they can come off your body in a heartbeat as they’re made for strippers. I suggest you don’t make any sudden moves or get them caught on anything,” Thad advised. I had a look of horror on my face. Thad laughed. “I’m kidding, Josh. Trevor suggested it, but I actually rented real ones, not wanting to take the chance something might happen, or someone like a Trevor might make something happen,” Thad explained. I suddenly felt relieved.
“Hey, now you went and told on me, Thad. You just wait. I’ll get even,” Trevor threatened humorously. We all laughed.
“Okay, troops, let’s make this the best Thanksgiving celebration ever for all our families. I suggest everyone that is dressing here hit the showers and let’s get ready. We have less than an hour to look sharp and start the celebration. Thank you all for the effort you put into this. Our families can be extremely proud of all of us, especially when they hear what I have to report today. You might want to wear steel underwear as I can promise you one hell of a boner, when you hear the report I have today,” I teased, but meant it.
Trevor, Andy, Ashton, Cody, Trent, Gabe, all followed us upstairs to shower and get dressed with all of us that lived here. It was good to see everyone interact so well together. I told Jake how proud I was of what all we created and the friendships and life long bonds of brotherhood we established. I was almost overwhelmed myself. Jake could tell, as he put his arm around me and hugged me, then gave me a kiss.
It didn’t take everyone long to get naked. There were more dicks and balls in the apartment and showers than I had ever seen, it appeared. Not only did we have Terry, Chase, Aiden, Ethan, Edgar and Jeb, in addition to our normal crew, but we had Luke and Mick on top of that, plus Cody, Trent and Gabe. I wasn’t sure how Gabe snuck in there, but he was here and happy to show off his big cock to everyone that wanted to see and touch it, even suck on it. We also had Andy, Trevor and Ashton in the group. Poor Dylan was almost overwhelmed. I was sure he was going to get groped in the process of all these bodies in the shower together. Oh well, he’d probably enjoy it. I think there were 19 of us in the shower at one time. It was kind of tight, but rubbing up against each other was kind of fun. Almost every one of us had an erection before it was over. Trevor warned against any sex and any ejaculations, saying we had a major event coming up after all the family was gone tonight, and we needed to save our ball seed for all of that. Again, I had no idea what he had planned, other than it was going to be crazy. Guys started filing out of the shower, a few at a time, some waiting on shampoo and soap, then to be able to rinse off without someone blocking the shower of water. We made it all work, and had fun in the process.
Again, I had to help people get dressed. Edgar and Jeb needed help with their button down collars, and putting on their bowties. Luckily they were the kind that you hooked on the back, and didn’t have to tie from scratch, or they would have gone tieless, as who the hell knew how to tie a bowtie? It was kind of hot fiddling with their nearly naked bodies, helping them to get dressed. It would have been more fun helping them to get undressed, but that perhaps would come later. I even helped Luke with his dress shirt, buttoning his sleeves on his dress shirt, those little buttons that drive a sane person crazy. He gave me a sensuous kiss for helping him. I patted his ass, which made him smile.
“Thank you guys so much for saving my life, Josh. You and Jake are fantastic, and I want you to know, I love you both. I couldn’t have taken another semester at my school, and lived like I was living. This place is so full of love and care, not to mention opportunity for someone like me, that might otherwise have a hard time in a world of straight people, mainly. I can’t thank you enough,” Luke said, then hugged me again.
“You’ll soon be part of our family, Luke. We’ll love you like we love all the rest. We’ll get to work on housing for you. We’ll find you a place with someone we know and trust. That you can be sure of, so I don’t want you to worry about any of the details, as we’ll get that put together for you,” I assured him. He told me I was the ‘best’. We hugged again.
Jake and I finally got to help each other whip ourselves into shape. He hugged me tightly, one more time, gave me a big kiss, then said, “It’s showtime.” I laughed, but he was right.
I grabbed Dylan one more time to straighten him out a little. We were by ourselves, so he hugged me and kissed me, then told me he loved me. I told him how proud I was of him and his accomplishments. I told him great things were coming for him. He told me having me and the guys was all he ever needed in his life to be happy now. He was cool. I told him to brace himself, because more happiness was coming. He shook his head, saying I had already done more than was ever needed, and he’d follow all of us to the ends of the earth to help us. I told him I believed that wholeheartedly. He asked why he wasn’t asked to serve today. I told him he could help out later at the bar if he wanted to, but he was a guest for most of today. Again, he just beamed.
On our way downstairs to prepare ourselves for the onslaught of family, I got a text from Tom and James, saying they were in the air, but wished they were here with us and wanted us to know they loved us dearly. I texted them back, telling them we loved them also and safe travels, then get their asses over here sometime so we could take care of them. I got a smiley face back.
I got another ding on the phone from Will, telling us to have a great day with all our family, and to know he missed us terribly and loved us with all his heart. I told him to enjoy his family, and we loved him also. He sent me heart imoges.
Edgar, Jeb, Trent, Cody and Gabe all had their little formal wear on, ready to serve. While it was ‘help yourself’ from the food table, that George and Doug had mostly set up, our servers would pour wine, tea or water for all our guests and fetch them anything else they might need. We all looked around, and noted how spectacular everything looked. I was so proud of Thad for all his hard work in putting all this together.
Thad came up to me, looking smart, in his dress slacks and dress shirt, very professional, I happened to think. “Josh, who do you want to say Grace, or do you want to do that?” Thad asked me. I had to stop and think.
“Thad, I think the honor should go to you, since you worked so hard to put all this together,” I told him. He thought I should do it, since I was the head of the company. I told him everyone was going to have to put up with me for my report, so someone else should say Grace. I told him he was dutifully appointed. I think he appreciated the opportunity. I told him to ring Heaven’s gates, as the Good Lord had sure taken care of us, creating a large family of love and caring. He said he was humbled for the opportunity, and would try to do it justice. I gave him a hug, while Cliff looked on, beaming himself.
I quickly checked on Fritz, to see if he was overwhelmed, or ready to get this over with. He was dressed smartly in his chef’s uniform, looking like he worked in the top restaurant in the country. I was impressed. “I never get a chance to wear this anymore, and I thought today, well it just seemed right,” Fritz told me, proudly. “I actually graduated from the CIA, that’s Culinary Institute of America, not the Central Intelligence Agency, just to clarify,” he said, making me chuckle, after hearing the joke for the umpteenth time. “We had to buy these to wear in our graduation ceremony, and that’s the last time I ever wore it. Today seemed fitting. Heinie helped me get dressed. Well he also helped in another way, but I won’t go into that,” Fritz chided. I gave him a big hug and told him how proud I was of him.
“Look at you guys,” I said, noticing that Doug and George had on junior chef’s uniforms, like the sui chefs wore. “You guys are adorable both in and out of your uniform,” I teased, then gave them both a hug.
“Thanks, Josh. We can’t tell you how much we enjoy working here with you and the rest of the guys. You pay us well, you treat us like family, and it’s just the greatest opportunity we’ve ever had. We’ll never leave you as long as you’ll have us,” George told me. Doug agreed.
“I remember when we first met. You guys hated your boss at the box store we bought the TV’s from. You kind of had a chip on your shoulders at the time, but you soon changed when you started working with us. You guys have really matured and become great friends, and really helped to build our business. We’re all proud of you both. All you guys did one heck of a job putting all this together today. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you and all our families also. You’re all just the greatest,” I doted over them. I got a group hug.
“We remember delivering you TV’s and setting them all up for you,” Doug reminisced. “At first we wondered what we got ourselves into. We could tell you guys had a thing for guys at the time, which was kind of scary to us at first. The more we got to know you, the more we liked all of you. We even appreciated the showers. It was a whole new experience for George and me, but, I have to say, we kind of liked it. We’ve had a lot of fun here, especially with Allen and OBB. We didn’t start out thinking we could ever swing that way, but it’s a hell of a lot better than just beating off or even beating one another off. We’ve been practicing things with one another, that Allen and OBB taught us. It’s kind of cool, really. Yeh, I’d say we got us a good deal hooking up with you guys and having fun working and all. Sure changed our lives around.” I had to give them another hug, remembering some of the intimate times we had with the two of them. “Oh, and one of the biggest things you did to help us all was to fire Jerome. He was horrible. He just didn’t fit in here at all,” Doug added. I told him he was right about that.
“So, are you ready for this?” I asked Fritz. He told me they were good to go. He had a turkey carving station set up with a heat lamp at the food table, which he would man. They also had a station for ham and a beef filet that would melt in your mouth, which Doug or George would man. I told them I was feeling full already and hadn’t eaten yet. Fritz said they’d set up the desert table once everyone had served themselves, but didn’t want to put anything out just yet. I told him I couldn’t wait to see what he had there. Fritz just smiled.
With everything ready to go, I headed back to the entrance where our guests were starting to come in. Our guys were helping them to find their tables and place cards. This thing that had been in planning for some time was now a reality. I was a little nervous and apprehensive, but excited at the same time, wanting to meet as many parents as I could to gain a greater understanding of my friends and partners.
Jake was standing by me, when his sister, Linda, came up to us. “Do I have to sit with you guys?” she asked Jake and me. Jake smiled.
“Not if I could help it, but I think you’re at our table somewhere. Oh, and I think you’re sitting beside Luke’s sister and Mick, of course.
“You guys didn’t molest him last night, did you?” Linda asked, concerned.
“Good grief, Linda. We’re gay, not child molesters,” Jake retorted. Linda gave him a strange look.
“He couldn’t stop talking about how excited he was about this trip. His parents couldn’t believe he was going to miss a family Thanksgiving dinner to come and hang out here. I reminded them he was with me, but they kept saying he was excited to spend a couple of nights with you guys here. I just wonder what that’s all about. Look at him now. He’s hanging out with three of your guys. He should be over here holding my hand,” Linda claimed. Jake and I shook our heads at her.
“Hey, he gets to see you all the time, Linda. He’s trying to figure out what college life is like here at the big boy’s school, instead of that community college you guys go to,” Jake replied.
“Hey, it’s a nice school. Mick thinks he wants to come here, and I don’t know why. He just keeps saying he needs to be here and gone from there. Not sure if he’s trying to ditch me or what,” she said, concerned.
“He just needed to hang with some testosterone and not so much estrogen for a change, Linda. You ought to transfer here also,” Jake told her.
“I might cramp your style if I did that, Jake,” she relied. Jake said that was hardly unlikely.
Mick finally came over and joined us. “Hey, Linda. Me and the boys had a great time last night. This is the coolest place. It’s unbelievable what all these guys have here,” Mick exclaimed.
“I’m sure you saw a lot of what they had. Let’s just hope you didn’t get too interested,” Linda replied, again concerned. Jake gave Mick a stern look like he can’t tell.
Just then Mom and Dad caught up with us, giving Jake and me another hug. Jake introduced his sister to my parents, earning her a hug also, which surprised her. Jake’s parents came up to meet mine once more. We told them they were going to be table mates with all of us. So far everyone seemed pleasant and easy going. Jake and I just weren’t sure what his mother might say, but we were hoping for the best.
