Chapter 273 – Ashton Comes Clean & More Physicals
I was thinking how lucky we were to have Devin and Sandy around. They came in handy in so many ways. It was fate that brought them to us. Devin was a very sensitive and kind soul. Sandy, while he had some wildness to him that got him in trouble at times, managed to win the heart of Devin, who tolerated his faults and cared about him as his friend. In turn, Sandy cared about Devin as well. We now cared about both of them.
The day had been fairly productive, having seen Buzz and introduced him to Jordan, finding suitable office space for Jordan in Buzz’s building, and the beginning of our physical analysis process at swim practice with James. Although I was still a little concerned about the Trent situation, I was reassured our security cameras were here and would be installed within a day. All in all, the day had been fairly productive.
We were just getting ready for beer-thirty, when Ashton walked through the door. I wasn’t quite sure what his visit was all about, but it was good to see him, in a way. He gave Jake and I a hug and quick kiss. Andy and Trevor weren’t close by, and he really didn’t know Dustin, Thad or Zach, who were helping out in the bar area.
“Got a beer for me?” he asked all chipper.
“Sure, pull up a stool and take the load off, that is if your ass can take the load after what Chuck does to it,” Jake joked. Ashton laughed.
“Hey, I know I haven’t always been the greatest friend, and I really hate what happened between Andy and me, but I do care about you guys. I think what we started off with was a good thing, and I think I helped build the bar in the City into what it is today. You guys meant a lot to me and you still do. I don’t want that to change because Andy and I had a falling out because of my sexual cravings. It’s not his fault. I blame myself for that. I should have known, I’d be liked that. All I had to do was look at my brother, for shit’s sake. He’s the biggest slut I know. At least I try to keep my sexual partners to a minimum, where he tries to maximize the count in that area. I just have different requirements to satisfy my cravings,” Ashton told us.
“What are you trying to tell us Ashton?” I asked curiously. “Why all this sudden confession to us?”
“I care about you guys, and it hurts me to think that maybe I’ve blown our friendship. I don’t have that many friends overall, and the ones that meant something to me, I’ve, well, I’ve kind of alienated. I hate that, and I want you to know I’m sorry. I can’t do anything about it, but apologize for my actions. What I’m saying is I don’t want to lose you as friends. I don’t want my stock back or anything like that. I gave it up, and I don’t deserve to be part of this new corporation you have, but I still want to be a friend and have you consider me to be a friend of yours. Can I at least call you my friends?” Ashton asked emotionally. I thought he was going to cry. Jake and I had to hug him, as he was being totally sincere for the first time in a long time. I believed him. He reminded me of how sweet he was when we first started hanging out with him. We did have some pretty hot times together, and it was his actions that caused me to end up with Jake, an act I was sure was fate itself.
“Ashton, we don’t hate you for anything. You’re still a friend. I don’t know how intimate a friend you’ll be, but you’re always welcome here with us. You have to make peace with Andy, but he’s happy now with Trevor, and you’re happy with Chuck, so everyone should be comfortable by now, I would think,” I said, but it sounded rather corny to me. Ashton gave me a small smile.
“Thanks, Josh. I do really care about you guys, and wish you nothing but success with the bars. I’d be perfectly willing to help you in any way I can. If you need help with web designs or whatever, I’m perfectly willing to help. You don’t even have to pay me. I just want to be a part of you guys again. I feel like I’ve lost my family, all because of a big cock, attached to a guy I really don’t love,” he admitted.
“Trouble in paradise?” I asked.
“No, not really. I mean Chuck is okay, but he’s basically straight. He uses my ass to get what he needs to get by. The guy doesn’t really have that great a motivation for anything other than drinking and screwing, my hole or any woman he can convince to take his big cock. I mean his cock is impressive. Hell, you’ve seen it, but there’s no compassion, caring, helping, sharing, all the feelings and compassion we all had for one another at one point in time. I fucking blew all that away in my quest for bigger cocks. I felt like Andy was smothering me. When we first became roommates, Josh, Andy still very much loved you. I swear he always did. I still don’t think he’s over you, Josh, no disrespect to you, Jake, as I know for a fact, Andy truly loves you also. When Andy and I fucked, I always thought he wished I was you instead of me. Maybe it was stupid, but I always felt that way. I couldn’t blame him for that, Josh. Hell, I’d wish it was you instead of me any day. I guess I subconsciously resented the fact he loved you more, and it got to me after some time passed, which led me to find new and larger cocks to satisfy my cravings. I don’t know if I had his undivided love whether that would have happened or not. I probably still would have been the slut I turned out to be. Anyway, I couldn’t earn his total love, so I eventually gave up, I guess, and busied myself with the notion I could just be happy satisfying my dick size cravings instead. Does that sound pathetic or what?” he said, almost ready to cry again. I got up and hugged him again.
“So much sharing tonight, Ash. Why didn’t you share these feelings with us before?” I asked.
“Pride, I guess. I didn’t’ want you guys to think I was a woos and couldn’t control my emotions. It was easier for me to be a prick and let Andy down than to admit I couldn’t compete with you, Josh. It’s stupid, I know. I’m so sorry. I hurt Andy something terrible, and let the rest of you guys down also. It was dumb, but I’m emotionally immature I guess. Seeing you guys the other day and night, made me miss you all that more. I just had to come clean and tell you how I really felt,” Ashton replied. I was still holding him tightly.
“You need to tell Andy what you told us, Ash. I think it would make a major difference. For the record, he truly did love you, even though you thought he still loved me. Andy has a big heart. You broke it, but broke it not for selfish reasons, it appears, but because you loved him and wanted to set him free. Gawd, Ash, now you’re going to make me cry,” I told him, wiping the tears from my eyes. Jake had tears also. Even the guys that didn’t know him were emotionally moved by what he confessed to us. Ash had tears running down on my shoulders as I held his head up against mine, in strong embrace.
“Can you forgive me?” Ashton asked.
“Sure, hell, I forgive you. I’m sure the rest of us do too. The one you really need to share this with is Andy. He’s the one that lost his love. We just thought we lost a friend, which was hard enough, as we care so damned much about one another here. We’re all family. You need to share this with Andy,” I urged.
“He already did,” I heard Andy say from behind me. Andy had been behind the door in the center of the bar, out of sight, but heard every word Ashton said to us. He ran over to Ashton, pulled him from my arms, hugged him tenderly and kissed him passionately. “You crazy ass. Why didn’t you tell me all of this before? Now, I don’t know whether to believe you or not,” Andy told him shaking his head at Ashton, but still holding onto him.
“I think you believed him and just forgave him, Andy,” Jake offered. I agreed. They hugged for a few more moments and kissed passionately a couple more times.
“I don’t know whether to hate you or love you for what you did. You are one crazy ass lover and friend, you know that,” Andy remarked.
“I am so sorry, Andy. I am truly sorry. I beg you for forgiveness. I know what you and Trevor have is special, and I’d never do anything to hurt that in any way. I just want your friendship back and the care we all had for one another as friends. Can we just be good friends again?” Ashton asked coyly. Andy hugged him again. We all gave him a group hug, even Dustin, Zach and Thad, who’d only met him briefly before. Then Trevor emerged. We all held our breath to see what he’d do or say. He came over and grabbed Ashton, who had a very scared look on his face, not knowing what Trevor would do. Trevor hugged him tightly and kissed him on his cheek.
“Welcome back to the family, brother,” Trevor told him, as he hugged him tightly. Ashton broke down in tears.
“I love you guys so much. There aren’t any greater loves in my life than you guys,” he said tearfully. “You’re all too wonderful, and I’m been such an ass.” We group hugged him again.
“That’s all behind us now, Ash. We love you once again, not that we ever totally didn’t love you anymore,” Trevor told him. Andy hugged Trevor and kissed him for being so understanding and loving at a time like this. Trevor had his arm around Andy, grateful for the love they had between them, and wanting to support someone he truly loved. Trevor could be a character, sometimes scary, but he had a heart of gold and it was genuine. When it needed to be there, it was there big time. He was genuine. We’d forgive him for all his antics, sarcasm and genuine craziness, because when the chips were down or you needed something, he was always there for you with a furry. Andy discovered that about him right away, when he was going through his depression after he split up with Ashton.
“Sorry to lay all this heavy shit on your guys. I feel like a blubbering idiot, getting all emotional and all, but I couldn’t help it any longer. I had to come clean. You guys are my family and I love you so much. I’m sure I’ll love Zach, Thad and Dustin also. If my guys love you, I have to also,” Ashton admitted. They all smiled.
“Just to be clear, none of these guys have the kind of cocks you need to satisfy that ass of yours, Ash,” Andy assured him. Dustin, Thad and Zach, shook their heads in disbelief Andy said what he did.
“I don’t care, Andy. It’s the love that counts. I learned that a long time ago, just had a hard time admitting it to myself,” Ashton replied.
“Does that mean you don’t like big cocks anymore?” Andy asked.
“I didn’t say that. I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s not the size, it’s the heart it’s attached to that makes the intimacy between friends so real,” Ashton stated. We all gave him an ‘Ahhhh’.
Thad drew more beer for all of us as we celebrated the return of a close friend. Ashton shared with us some of the torment he went through, depression and what not over the summer. He said he hated the fact he wasn’t with us the entire summer. He said, believe it or not, the few days he and Chuck were with us, were the best days he had all summer. The rest was a bust and very depressing. We all hated to hear about his dark days of summer, but didn’t remember too many exciting days with him and Chuck when they stayed with us. We did remember on skinny dipping party where Ashton took Todd on. Who wouldn’t remember something like that.
“You know, Ash, I had to put up with Andy’s sniveling all summer long, that my ass didn’t feel like yours did. I could never measure up to taking care of his cock quite like you did for some reason. He bitched and moaned all summer long,” Trevor stated. Andy gave him a back of the head slap.
“Liar. I never bitched about anything. You were always fucking me. I only had my cock in your ass a few times, compared to the number of times you fucked my ass,” Andy assured us.
“TMI,” Dustin said, chuckling. Thad and Zach agreed. Ashton was laughing at Trevor’s cleverness.
“You can’t believe a word he says, Ash,” Andy assured him. Ashton laughed, but you could tell how happy he was at the moment, having his friends back.
We sat there and exchanged experiences back and forth, for the months we lost between us. Ashton asked Thad, Zach and Dustin how in the heck they got involved with the rest of the group. They filled him in, the stories getting wilder as the time went on. There was much embellishment of the truth going on, but it was all fun.
Life is strange at times. Tonight, I felt totally alive again, like a dark weight had been lifted off my shoulders, to know that someone I once truly cared for really deserved that love and care all along, even though I lost it for him for several months. We weren’t wrong to love Ashton in the first place, but it was our own stubbornness and misconceptions that led us to the fall out, almost losing permanently a love that never should have been lost. I could only imagine how relieved Andy felt tonight, knowing Ashton basically sacrificed himself, setting Andy free because he thought he couldn’t live up to what he thought Andy needed. Wow, that was a big revelation, but heart warming to get behind us, so we could all love one another once again.
“Hey, guys. I do have one favor to ask of you,” Ashton started to say.
“Here we go. No, you’re not getting Andy back again, Ash. He’s mine now, and his ass just worships my cock. I couldn’t think of giving him up,” Trevor said, chiding, of course. Ashton laughed.
“No, no, I wasn’t thinking anything like that, not that I don’t miss his cock in my ass, but what I wanted to ask was if you guys could let Chuck dance to earn some money? He isn’t the greatest at holding a job, but he does have certain assets, as you very well know, that would work well here. I can’t support him constantly without him having a job. I’d be grateful if you could let him dance and earn some money to help out our living situation, if you could find it in your hearts to make that happen,” Aston asked.
I looked at Jake who looked at me. We all thought he could really work out well here, even if he was straight. He wouldn’t be the first straight guy, or the last, we had perform at the bar. As far as I was concerned, he and Sandy could sword fight with those big cocks of theirs. We told him sure. We needed dancers and he certainly had the junk to make it work. Ashton seemed relieved. He said Chuck could tend bar or even wash dishes if we needed help elsewhere, but this would be a big financial help to them both, if he could work here. Ashton reminded us that while Chuck thought we were all kind of crazy, he had some great times with all of us. Ashton was greatly relieved when we said we’d put him to work.
“Ash, get with Allen and OBB on the website design, and we’ll pay you for your time. We could use some help there, and you always did a great job of that. The CNB logo you designed is hanging on our building outside. You can be proud of that,” I reminded him. Ashton just beamed, finally happy for the first time in a long time.
“I better get back to the apartment. Chuck doesn’t fare well on his own when it comes to finding something to eat. He is a little bit of a pain in the ass, not from that big dick of his, but in other ways. Still, he’s a friend, and I have to care about him. At least for now anyway, until he finds a woman that can stand him for more than a night, and then I’m sure he’ll turn into a kept man for a woman, instead of a man,” Ashton said, smiling. We all kind of chuckled, tongue in cheek.
We had quite the conversation after Ashton left, in a good way that is. We were all happy and relieved we had risen above our misconceptions and concern for Ashton’s behavior, and found we did genuinely love him for all the reasons we loved him in the first place.
As Jake and I snuggled our naked bodies together that night, we thought back to what Ashton revealed to us, taking full blame for everything, when maybe he wasn’t totally to blame at all.
“Josh, part of what happened is my fault,” Jake said, thinking about it. “It was obvious I was in love with you. Andy had to see it. You felt it and it weighed on your mind to the point that Andy moving in with Ashton kind of gave you the green light to love me like your heart wanted to. Andy eventually gave up, tried to turn his attention to Ashton, but Ashton felt Andy was just going through the motions of making love to him, but his heart really loved you, Josh. This could very well be my fault, when I think about it,” Jake confessed. I hugged him tightly and kissed him.
“No, Jake, it’s really my fault. True, I felt a growing love for you in my heart, but I was managing it, I thought anyway, between you and Andy. Damn, did I alienate Andy and send him into the arms of Ashton? Who knows? This may have been totally my fault,” I said, thinking about it.
“No. If I hadn’t gone to the farm and slept with you like I did, maybe the love we have between us wouldn’t have blossomed like it did. I shouldn’t have let that happen,” Jake said sadly.
“Jake, I wanted it to happen. It was beautiful, like it was meant to be. You and I were meant to be. I believe we always were. Fate changed all our lives to put us where we belonged. I have to believe that. You have to believe that. Everything happens for a reason. I love you so much, and I truly believe you and I were always meant to be with one another. There couldn’t be another couple anywhere on earth that loves each other more than you and I do. We have a lot of fun with some other guys from time to time and especially the friends we love so dearly, but the love between us is atomic bomb proof. I couldn’t live without you as my partner, Jake. I couldn’t even think about it. Don’t ever let anything happen to you or don’t ever leave me, because I couldn’t survive without you,” I told him, kissing him and hugging him tightly, almost trembling from the thought of ever losing him.
“I feel the same way with you, Babe. I just couldn’t survive at all. You’re everything to me, my world, my universe. We are a cute couple, you know,” he ended with, chiding me. I kissed him passionately for that statement.
“Poor Andy, and poor Ashton. I can’t imagine what kind of torment those months together must have been. You know, come to think about it, Ashton told me many times that Andy loved me more than he did him. He must have told me that a hundred times or more. I just thought he was full of crap, but I guess he really believed that, and it may have been true. Poor Ash, living with someone he wanted to love, but that special guy loving another. It hurts me to even think about it,” I told Jake, as I hugged him tightly and shook with the sense of what I just said.
“Babe, despite all the misconceptions, the craziness that went on, the hurt, the broken hearts, everyone is happy today. It was like the world righted itself over time. Andy’s happy. Trevor is really happy. Hell, the two of them are great together. I haven’t seen Andy this happy in a long time. I have to believe that Ashton is happy now that he knows we still love him. He looked like a totally new guy tonight as he was leaving. Chuck is keeping him happy, ‘for the moment’, I think he said. Maybe he has someone else in the wings his heart has a hankering for. Who knows?” Jake speculated. I chuckled.
“You’re right, Babe. Everyone ended up happy out of all of this. We didn’t know it until tonight, but it all worked out. The situation ‘righted itself’, just as you said,” I told Jake and kissed him again.
“Is that a stick you have up against my ass, or is your cock hard?” I asked Jake, feeling something poking me in my ass.
“Lift your leg a little and you’ll find out,” Jake said sensuously. I smiled and lifted my leg just a little. I heard him spit in his hand and then I felt the warm fullness of his ridged penis press up against my asshole. I graciously welcomed him in, feeling the full length of that magnificent penis I loved so much fill me with passion, as our bodies became one. An hour later, our balls emptied, and almost hurting from the male juices we shared between us, we fell asleep in each other’s loving arms.
Classes were great again today, starting off with Stat. Our buddy that had the nice package was there again with his girlfriend, putting on a show for Jake and me. I swear the girl had him so hot, he had a wet spot on his shorts where he cockhead pressed tightly against the fabric. He was turning Jake and I on with his actions. He had no idea he was so entertaining.
It was great to see Ty for our next Marketing class. I was so excited about this class. Ty told us at the beginning of class that a couple of people had dropped out already, expecting a general marketing course and not an experimental one. I thought that was their great loss. He did say we were getting another one transferring in from the general marketing class. He looked at us, and said Thad had been accepted into this class, and the changes were being made today. I thanked him for that. Ty seemed appreciative we wanted him in the class.
Ty spent his lecture on the basic principles of Marketing, which were bascially to make people want to buy what you have to sell. He said in the next few classes we would be breaking down all the principles of helping people make up their minds they wanted to buy our products or services.
After class, I thanked him for getting Thad in the class, as I told him Thad was one of our guys involved in the business. Ty said he was glad someone actually wanted to be in the class. He said everyone had almost been hand picked for this class because of their backgrounds. He told us we were easy because we were already young entrepreneurs. Most of the rest of the class members were sons of CEO’s of larger corporations that he and other faculty members thought would be a natural for this class. He guessed two of the women that backed out were here just to find husbands, and not really embrace the education aspect. We told him that was disappointing, as this class was miles ahead of all the rest. Ty agreed with us. We got pats on the back again from our new professor friend as we left.
“Sure would like to see him naked,” Trevor commented.
“Wouldn’t we all. According to Ken, though, he’s probably straight, possibly even has a female live in,” I informed Trevor.
“Hey, who do you think I was last year? That’s Moi,” he stated. I had to agree. “We just have to work on him some and eventually turn him. Lord knows it can be done. I’m a living example of that.” Jake and I had to agree.
On our way back to the bar for one of Fritz’s fabulous lunches, I asked Trevor what he thought of Ashton now that we all knew what kind of happened. “I’m fine with Ashton now, Josh. I have more respect for the guy than I ever did before. He could become a great friend. Andy had to love him for a reason at some point. Things just got tangled up between them. That’s not to say either one of them was to blame. Hell, there are times I’m sure he still wishes I was you, Josh. He still loves you, by the way, in case you didn’t know. He’s loves Jake also and thinks the two of you were made for one another, but that doesn’t deplete or negate the love he still has for you. I’m cool with it, because I love the two of you also, and I know Andy loves me just as much. So, yeh, I’m cool with Ashton. Hell, I might even invite him over some night and fuck that ass of his, just to see what Andy felt there,” he said smiling. “I’m not going to do it this week or next, but sometime I need to get acquainted with that hot ass of his. He’s a looker, no doubt about it, and he has a nice cock too. Yep, just might have to tap that and see what it’s like,” Trevor chided. Jake and I just shook our heads. “I’ll tell you one thing, it took balls to admit to what he did yesterday afternoon. I gained a whole lot of respect for the guy after he said what he said. You could tell Andy was really relieved and excited to hear what he had to say. I know the breakup between the two was still haunting him. It just wasn’t meant to be. Who would have known? I tell you, it’s just fate. I’m sure of it,” Trevor told us.
“Josh and I said the same thing last night. Also, everyone is happy now, so everything’s all good. Let’s all start fresh, leave the past behind,” Jake suggested. All three of us agreed.
Fritz had another outstanding lunch for us. I was going to have to cut down on portions if he continued to cook like he was. I’d surly gain weight at this rate. I had to hug him and thank him for his fabulous cooking. He just smiled from ear to ear, so happy we were all pleased.
I worked in the office with Thad before accounting, trying to catch up on e-mails. I had an e-mail from Jordan, who said he picked out office furniture and it would be delivered on Friday to his new office. He said he let Buzz know it was coming also in case he couldn’t be there in time to let them in. Jordan said Buzz told him he’d be happy to help with any of that. Jordan said he was making Buzz a key, just in case he needed something from his office and he wasn’t there, so Buzz could let himself in. I sent him an e-mail back and told him this relationship sounded like it was getting serious if he was giving Buzz his own key. I got an immediate phone call from him.
“Josh, it’s not what you think. He’s just helping me out, that’s all,” Jordan told me, in no uncertain terms.
“Yeh, kind of like Jake and I help you out, it sounds like to me,” I told him, making him laugh.
“Well, I almost wish that was the case, but I doubt it is. Anyway, I didn’t want you jumping to conclusions. It’s all good. Buzz is kind of hot though. Maybe there’s some possibilities there. Who knows? I have to get to know him better. If we start coming over there for lunch every day, we’ll get to know each other better, and we’ll see. I’m not going to push anything from my end. He’ll have to make the first move,” Jordan exclaimed. I laughed.
“Sounds like I might have to do something to break the ice between the two of you. If we leave it up to you two, you’ll be two frustrated males with blue balls for years, I suspect,” I told him. “Hey, and what about Noah? Where does he fit in?” I asked.
“Uh, I don’t know. We’ll just have to see. Probably neither one of them will be boyfriend material. That would be my luck,” Jordan replied. I sighed.
“One of them is going to happen, Jord. I can feel it in my dick,” I told him. He laughed at me.
“I can only hope it’s my ass you feel on your dick, and I hope that’s soon as I’m getting horny thinking about Buzz and Noah,” Jordan informed me.
“Well, now, we’ll just have to see what we can do about that. I sense we’re going to have to break in your new office furniture sometime. I can see you lying naked on the desk with your legs in the air and my cock slamming your ass. Paints a wonderful picture in my mind,” I told him.
“Now you’ve got me all hot and bothered. I don’t suppose you have time to take care of some business there in my ass this afternoon?” he asked.
“Classes, Jord. Then we have swim practice. Gonna have to wait, but we’ll do it soon. You can count on that,” I assured him. He said he hoped it would happen before his balls exploded. I told him for sure.
Stoney had sent me an e-mail and wanted to know what I thought about the aviation proposal. I sent one back and told him Jordan was reviewing it at the moment, but hoped to have something for him soon. I got an e-mail right back from him saying soon had passed, it was time to move. Gess, I thought he was being pushy. Then I got another one right after that saying I needed to get together with James and Tom and explain what all this meant. He wanted to know how soon I could make that happen. I sent him another e-mail saying I would contact them and see when we could meet. I wasn’t sure of their charter schedule for this week, but hopefully, we could get together this weekend. I reminded him that we had an open house for the opening of the bar on Friday night and our first opening to the public on Saturday. I told him it would be nice to have him there for the open house, if nothing else. It got an e-mail back saying to ‘have fun’. I wanted to strangle him. Where the hell was he anyway? He needed to be with us for events like this. Afterall, it was his money that made all this possible. I threw up my hands in desperation, not understanding why he had to be away for so long.
Coach had not heard from Dawson today when I arrived at the natatorium. He was grateful he hadn’t. I had to chuckle. He asked me how the physicals were going. I told him there were kind of intense, but extremely valuable as far as information and training. He said he was glad to hear that. I told him I thought he should go through it also, but warned him he might get aroused. Coach gave me a strange look. I told him it was extremely thorough. He said he thought he’d pass, not wanting to embarrass himself. I told him James might enjoy the show. Coach just shook his head and told me good luck.
We huddled up for our daily meeting, the guys all in their trunks. I asked if I had any volunteers for the physicals today. Ethan said he wanted to get it out of the way, and he’d go first. Zach and Aiden said they’d do it also. I figured I’d find someone else to take the last spot. I had Zach and Aiden train together while I took Ethan to James.
“Josh, would you mind sitting in with me for this? You said if anyone felt uncomfortable and would like someone to be with them, that could be arranged. You also said you’d be willing to sit in if someone wanted you to. Would you mind being with me?” Ethan asked.
“Ethan, are you sure you want me to sit in with you? You know I’m gay. I was thinking you’d want a straight guy for something like this,” I asked somewhat surprised.
“I trust you, Josh, more than anyone else here. You’ve done so much for me already. I don’t care if you’re gay or not. You see all of us naked every day. It’s almost like we’re all brothers anyway. I’m fine with you being there. I just don’t know this James guy at all. I know you think the world of him, but the idea is kind of strange to me to have a male guy with his hands all over my naked body without someone that understands what this is all about with me. Does that sound weird?” he asked. I patted him on the back.
“No, that’s why I offered to let anyone have someone with them, to make them feel more comfortable about this physical analysis. It’s fine. I’d be honored to sit in it with you. I promise not to lust after you,” I said chiding. He laughed.
“Well, it’s kind of flattering in a way, but I’m not into any of that stuff, which I know you understand,” he replied.
“I totally understand and would never do anything with any guy they didn’t want to do. You can trust me on that,” I assured him. He smiled at me and told me he trusted me totally. That made me feel good.
I introduced Ethan to James. James was quite professional, and explained a little about what all he would be measuring and what kind of situations Ethan would be in for him to collect certain measurements, which he said were a little awkward and somewhat intimate appearing, even though there was nothing sexual about the data he was collecting. Ethan looked extremely nervous.
“Could you maybe demonstrate on Josh some of what you’re going to have to do to me?” he asked. It was a fair question.
“Josh, we might as well just do you first, so Ethan can see the whole process if you don’t mind,” James offered. I looked puzzled for a moment.
“I guess we could because I don’t have a fourth yet anyway, so I could be the fourth in this case. Sure, why not,” I said and jumped up for him to start measuring. Ethan sat in a chair totally immersed in what James started doing. “It will be interesting to see how my measurements have changed since last year,” I mentioned to James.
“Actually, this will help me with my study, Josh. You’re the only one that has been through this once and I’m able to keep measuring to see how the method has advanced from year to year. This will help me considerably with the study,” James replied. I was happy to hear that, and also anxious to know how much I had improved.
“I talked to Tuck about the basketball team going through this also. I have to admit you’ll have some characters on your hands when you measure those guys. Tuck was thinking it might help. I know Chase, one of his new recruits, a short guy for a basketball player, was willing to go through the analysis to help him be a better basketball player. I just hope Tuck will allow the rest of the team to participate also,” I informed James.
“The more guys we put through this, the better the data gets, Josh. I’d encourage anyone that has an interest to improve themselves physically, to go through it and follow the recommendations the data indicates. We can make this whole program better the more athletes we put through. I really think we’re onto something here that could really help all our athletes, even wrestlers, tennis players, soccer, gymnasts, you name it,” James advised.
“I have to get Jake over here to go through this also. There’s another guy on the gymnastics team, Terry, that was interested also. If you could get a few off of each team sport, that would give you an indication as to what the program did for each sport,” I remarked. James agreed.
“Gees, Josh, you know everyone it seems,” Ethan commented. James and I looked at him and smiled.
“Hey, James and I were in the same athletic fraternity, the one you want to join. I’m going to sponsor Ethan for the frat, James. I’m hoping Taylor will let me be his big brother.”
“Great idea, Josh. Ethan, you couldn’t have a better big brother than Josh here. We all loved him in the frat last year. We all admired him for his leadership and courage, and we had a lot of fun with him also. He’s a born leader. He really helped our basketball team last year. Some of us credit him with winning the national championship. You’ll recognize him as the man on the phone with Tuck during the last minutes of the game coaching from the frat house. That was a nail biter, but Josh here, well he sent Tuck into orbit and they won the game. Neither Tuck or Josh will ever say what Josh told Tuck, but whatever it was, provided the winning combination that won that game. We couldn’t love him enough,” James told Ethan, as he continued to measure my arms, neck, pecs and several measurements in each area, around the muscles and then length of muscle groups. Even my fingers were measured. I did a strength test with my arms, hands and fingers also.
“Yeh, we all heard about Josh and his championship telephone call. It was even on national TV, although no one ever found out what Josh told Tuck. What did you tell him, Josh?” Ethan asked.
“I like you, little brother, but that conversation is a state secret between Tuck and me, but it worked. Tuck will take that to his grave, and I have to respect his wishes,” I replied. Ethan just shook his head.
“Okay, Josh, loose your trunks. This is where it gets personal, but you know the drill,” James instructed.
“I know the drill, but it still makes me hard every time you do it. Ethan, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about, but my dick might get hard. Don’t worry, it won’t hurt anyone, unless James gets carried away,” I informed Ethan.
“What? Me get carried away. I think you have the wrong person there in getting carried away, Josh,” James replied rather adamantly, recalling the first time we did this procedure, remembering we ended up having some extremely heavy sex afterwards. I just laughed, recalling that experience. However, thinking about it, was getting me aroused.
“Someone have a problem the first time?” Ethan asked.
“Don’t ask me questions I don’t want to answer, Ethan,” I told him.
“Me neither,” James jumped in. Ethan shook his head at both of us.
“You guys want me to leave?” Ethan asked, somewhat embarrassed.
“No!” we both replied. Ethan chuckled.
“Josh said a boner was perfectly natural during this procedure, so I’m good with that. Why are you guys embarrassed?” Ethan asked.
“Just never mind,” I told him. He got quiet. “Let’s just say James and I got extremely well acquainted, more than we planned on. It was great for our relationship, however. We learned a lot from that exercise, but we won’t put you through that one, Ethan. That got downright intimate and personal beyond what we planned on. All in all, we learned a lot, but it’s not necessary,” I exclaimed. James totally agreed. Ethan was highly suspicious we weren’t telling him the whole story. He was right. We weren’t, nor would we.
“Gees, Josh. You have some pretty good wood going there, buddy. Nice curve on that also. Mine just sticks straight out,” Ethan exclaimed. “I think James enjoyed getting you excited.”
“Ethan, this is all professional and natural, so why are you critiquing the curvature of my boner? I just have to let James do his work, but he needs to keep his finger out of my asshole,” I said, looking around at James and giving him a dirty look.
“Hey, it’s payback for last year and all the trouble you gave me when we did this before,” James said smiling. “Don’t worry, Ethan, that won’t happen to you. Just Josh, because he deserves it,” James said smiling. “Last year he turned the tables on me and gave me such a hard time. Took me weeks to get over it,” James told him.
“Weeks? Hell, you still haven’t gotten over it. If I remember right, you were just as bad as I was. I was only paying you back for the shit you put me through,” I told James. By this time Ethan was laughing.
“You two are something else. Good thing you’re close frat brothers and good friends,” Ethan commented. We both looked at him weird.
James spread my asscheeks apart and measured from the stem of my brain to my asshole. Then he measured my inseam from my heels to my pelvic bone, holding my balls aside to get the exact measurement, then recording the data. He measured my taint from my asshole to the base of my balls, and also took a thickness measurement, putting a little caliper device on my taint muscle. I felt violated in a way, embarrassed that I had a boner while a straight guy watched on that would become my little frat brother, but hell, that’s probably the most intimate experience we’d ever share together, seeing each other with a boner in a compromising position. “Need a little ass hair trim back here, Josh. Getting a little bushy, if you ask me,” James commented.
“No one asked you, James. Stick to the measurements and keep your face out of my ass, if you don’t mind,” I replied. James smirked. Ethan giggled.
We finally finished up. James told me I should take care of that boner I had. I told him I knew how I’d like to take care of it, if he wasn’t careful. Ethan suggested maybe he needed to leave again. I told him it was his turn now, and we’d see how he liked it.
“Oh, and the way I got through last year’s physical with James, I can tell you this much. I told him if he did something to me that made me uncomfortable, then I got to do the same thing to him. I gave him a warning, Ethan. So you can give him the same warning,” I informed him. Ethan wasn’t quite sure what to think.
“I think that’s what got us in trouble last year, if I remember right, Josh. Sure you want to tell Ethan that?” James asked concerned.
“Never mind, Ethan. Maybe that’s not such a good idea,” I said recanting. Ethan laughed.
“You already made me feel comfortable with the whole process watching the two of you joke around with each other. Had I not experienced that, I would be nervous as hell about this right now. I’m good,” Ethan said, as he jumped down to take my position, and I pulled my trunks up over my boner. I sat on the stool he’d been sitting on. James got a new data recording sheet out for his clipboard and put Ethan’s information on it. He started measuring his upper body first, as he had done with me. We continued to talk as James worked. Ethan asked questions about the frat with James and me. We told him about some of the characters we had, the twins came up, only I never told Ethan they were gay. Ethan said what great basketball players they were. James explained to Ethan that if it hadn’t been for me, the twins would have quit the team last year, as they could not stand Tuck. James said I had a monumental task of changing Tuck’s personality to work with the twins and respect their abilities. Once I had accomplished that, the team became dynamic and powerful. Ethan was quite impressed by what James told him.
We finally got to the point where Ethan had to drop his trunks and get naked. He seemed comfortable enough. James was very careful to be extremely professional. He got to the part where he had to get handsy, and Ethan got an erection. He was a little embarrassed at first, but then he relaxed some as I teased him.
“Got a nice bone yourself there, junior. I bet the girls love that thing to play with,” I chided. Ethan looked around at me and smiled.
“Now, Josh, I know that’s not what you’re thinking, but thanks anyway,” he said smiling with his cock sticking straight out in front of him a nice thick 6.5 inches. “I think you have me beat in length though, from what I saw anyway. You want to slap them up side by side and get some good measurements for James?” Ethan chided. I knew he was joking.
“You guys do that, and I am pulling mine out to join in,” James teased. We all laughed.
“Never tease a gay guy with a stiff dick, one as nice as the one you have, Ethan. It’s not fair,” I replied wishing he had been serious about measuring our cocks up against each other.
“Hey, I had to tease you guys a little. It makes us better friends. I consider you guys as friends and mentors. I like the comradery. You guys are great. It’s nice not having to put up with all this macho male stuff. You’re just level headed great guys that care about others. I can’t really picture myself with a cock in my mouth, a cock up my ass or my cock up some dude’s ass, but other than that, I think we all have much of the same values. We care about our friends. I like that, and am proud to be around others that share the same values,” he told us. James and I were impressed.
“I’m glad we share a lot of the same values, Ethan. I can teach you how to take a cock up your ass and suck another guy off. Those are definitely learnable traits if you ever want to learn,” I said chuckling. I thought James was going to lose it. He had to stop measuring, he was laughing too hard.
“You guys are so much fun,” Ethan chuckled.
James finally finished up his analysis. He told us he hadn’t had this much fun doing these physicals since the first time I did it and tormented him to death during the process. Ethan laughed and said maybe he should have tormented him more. I shook my head no. He didn’t know what he was in for if he did that. He just laughed.
I handed Ethan his trunks and he covered up his beautiful manhood, still stiff, but he looked great that way in his trunks. I gave James a hug and thanked him for a great session. Ethan even gave him a hug, which surprised the hell out of James. “What? The man looked up my ass, fondled my balls, measured my cock, played with my taint, you can’t get much more intimate than that. I couldn’t kiss him, so the least I owed him was a hug,” Ethan chided. The three of us laughed.
“He’s great, Josh. He’s going to be a great member of your team. Oh, and you deserve him as a little brother. I hope he torments the hell out of you as your little brother,” James informed me. I swatted James on his ass, and we took off.
“Great guy, that James. I can tell you guys are great friends. You can never have enough friends in this world. I’d say you have a never ending supply with everyone you know and that knows you, Josh. I think I’m going to like being your little brother,” Ethan confessed.
“We’ll see about that. You may be sorry, you know,” I chided. He told me ‘never’. Warmed my heart to hear that.
I signaled Aiden and Zach it was their turn. They elected to go together. I told Ethan we’d wait until they got done before we did any practicing for today. We went to join Drew at the relay pool.
Les told Ethan he must have just finished the physical, because he could see Ethan had a semi going in his tight trunks. Ethan looked a little embarrassed, but shrugged it off. Les told him ‘nice one’ though. Ethan blushed.
“He’s gay, isn’t he?” Ethan asked me referring to Les.
“He wasn’t until sometime last year, but he is now. That boy used to keep the girls happy like you wouldn’t believe. He used to have a harem at his beckon call. He gave that all up for guys. Something changed him. I don’t exactly know how explain it, but my Trevor was the same way. Les has two brothers that are gay also. I guess you could say it runs in the family,” I commented. Ethan chuckled.
“Wow, kind of hard to escape those genes if there are three of them. What do the parents think, realizing they raised three gay boys?” he asked me.
“I don’t think they know yet. That’s going to be a bit of shock when they all sit down and have that talk. I don’t envy them. I had a hard enough time getting through it myself, but all is well. My parents still love and support me. I’m so fortunate,” I told him. Ethan smiled.
“Josh, you have some many excellent traits. I’m starting to realize gay or straight, everyone still has the same problems in life. There’s no real difference. You have to care about a person for their character more than anything,” he told me. I had to hug him for that one.
“That’s exactly right, Ethan. Don’t ever forget that,” I said looking him in the eyes. “I swear you get smarter every day. I think I’m going to have to love you too,” I warned.
“With your heart, you mean. Not your body. Right?” he asked somewhat concerned.
“Yes, Ethan, with my heart.”
Aiden and Zach finally got through their physical analysis. Zach must have been last because he still had a stiffy in his trunks, while Aiden seemed flaccid. “Okay, Josh, that was really a strange ordeal to go through. Pretty embarrassing. That guy, James, knows more about my body than you or even I do right now. I almost feel like I’ve been violated. I hope we get some good results though,” Zach commented.
I almost had to laugh. Ethan had to also, having been through the same ordeal. “What do you think that was like for a straight guy, Zach? I mean, at least you guys are used to other guys attending to your junk. No one has really touched my stuff except me, well, and now James. He was professional, I’d have to say,” Ethan commented. I just smiled.
Swim practice over, we all showered, hit the steam room for a few minutes with Phil and Holly, who were crazy as hell. The did have some nice cocks on them. The scenery was good in the steam room at least.
Back at the bar, it was beer-thirty. That cold beer tasted good after sitting in the sauna and sweating out the toxins in our pores. Now we were putting the toxins back in, drinking beer. Oh well, such was the cycle of life.
I got a call from Greer wanting to know if I had heard from Stoney. He said he e-mailed Stoney and told him to call. I asked him what he needed to know from Stoney. He said he needed to know Stoney still loved him. I told Greer he knew the answer to that question. He said he hoped he did, but he had not heard from him in a long time and was beginning to wonder. I reminded Greer, Stoney would not have abandoned his beloved ranch, him, Jake and me for some new dick out there. Greer supposed I was right, but he said he missed him terribly. I could tell he really did. I told Greer Stoney had sent me a proposal on buying out the minority partner in the aviation business. Greer said he had seen the e-mailed proposal also. He didn’t see any problem with it, and thought it might be a good idea. He wanted to know if I had reviewed it. I told him I had, but I had Jordan looking it all over and drafting the buy-sell agreement. Greer said he was glad Jordan was doing it and not him. He said he had enough to do without having to stop everything he had going to address an issue when Stoney got a wild hair up his ass. I had to laugh, but told him that’s what we were all basically doing. Greer asked me if I heard anything about the permit approval process for the dormitory building. I told him I had seen Buzz, and he said that could happen any moment now. Greer was relieved to hear that, as he said Stoney was getting impatient, wanting to get that project started. I asked him how he was coming over on Friday for our open house that night. He said he’d drive over in the morning and have lunch with us and spend the night. I chuckled, knowing what he expected on Friday night. He told me my cock better be good and hard, because his ass was needy as hell with Stoney being gone as long as he had. I reminded him he had Sven, but then he reminded me, Sven was no Stoney, even if he did have bigger and better equipment. I had to laugh, but knew he was right. Sven was a fuck machine and Stoney was passionate.
“Why are you driving over Friday, Greer? Get James and Tom to fly you over,” I suggested.
“They have a charter leaving Friday morning and won’t be back until Sunday sometime. They offered to have someone else fly me over in that prop plane we have, but I decided I might as well drive. What the heck. I haven’t had a road trip for a while anyway. Might be nice to have some windshield time to think a little,” Greer replied.
“Yeh, think about all that cock you’re going to have stuffed up your ass on Friday night. That’s what you’ll be thinking about,” I informed him. He chuckled.
“I was kind of thinking how nice that was going to be with you and Jake. I’m looking forward to that in the worst way. I can’t begin to tell you,” he replied. “I just wish Stoney would come home and be with us, work with us, have sex with us. Why does he have to be away for so long?”
“I guess he has his reasons. Who are we to challenge that, Greer? Look at what the guy has given us. Good grief. Talk about a personal win fall. We might as well have won the lottery. We’re all set for life with what he set up. Unless, we screw it all up and loose it all, but that’s not going to happen,” I told him.
“I know, but money’s not everything. We love him too, more than we love what he gave us to work with. He needs to be here with us, mentoring us, and letting us love him like we should,” Greer explained.
“Whatever he’s working on will be extremely worthwhile, or he wouldn’t have been away all this time doing it, Greer. We have to believe that. Anyway, I have to go, but we’ll see you Friday for lunch. You can check out our new chef, Fritz. He’s fantastic. Have a safe trip over, since you’re driving,” I told him. Greer told me he loved me and would see Jake and me on Friday. I told him I loved him also.
Todd and Chad stopped by, not having been there in a few days. They wanted to make sure everything was working before the open house on Friday night. Devin drew them a beer also, and they sat to talk, saying they missed us. Todd said they had been working on all the details for the dormitory building. They had lined up potential sub-contractors for the various portions of the building like site preparation, cement, brick, steel, plumbing, HVAC, sprinkler systems, elevators, roofing, and electrical, which was mainly Devin and whoever he elected to use as subs. My head hurt, trying to wrap my brain around all that. Todd said he had been by the property and they had a sign over the ‘For Sale’ sign, saying ‘Sale Pending’. I was elated to hear that.
Devin wanted to know if we wanted to see the new security system in action. He said he had a setup in the apartment and one in the office. We could monitor all the cameras he installed from either device. Thad, Jake, Todd, Chad and Devin all piled into the office. He had a large screen on the wall. On it were some 8 different cameras, split screen, where you could monitor one, two, four, six or all eight at the same time. There were three pan-tilt, zoom cameras, where you used a joystick to move the cameras to point them in different directions and zoom in if you wanted to. Those were located on both outside doors and over the bar area. We could see the other guys sitting at the bar drinking their beer. Devin had me pan the camera down the bar. I zoomed in on Trevor, almost looking down his throat, then zoomed out again to get the whole bar back in the picture, then panned down the bar. We could see everything the bartender would do as well as all the customers at the bar at the time. Devin explained that we had up to a week of memory on demand, then we could zip a week’s worth of files, recordings from each camera to a 6 terabit external hard drive to store well over a year’s worth of recording you could search by date, time and camera. It was the coolest thing ever.
I panned the bar again. Apparently, Trevor saw the camera moving back and forth, as I panned the bar area. He stood on the stool and mooned me, dropping his shorts and underwear and spreading his ass cheeks with his fingers. I panned in on his ass and could see all the hair around his asshole. The guys with me were laughing their asses off. “I swear this thing is literally an invasion of privacy,” I told them. They all agreed. Andy stuck his finger in Trevor’s asshole causing him to jump off the stool. He finally pulled up his shorts and shot me the finger at the camera. This was too much fun.
