The Coming of Josh

So glad to know all my bent friends have checked in and everyone is safe and still healthy. Loved all your comments. I liked that chapter also, guys. I thought Dylan's offer for Josh to join him in bed was sweet also, BC. Glad you liked it. Dylan has become more caring, but yet, keeps his distance from the crazy college boys, although he does manage to have some fun with them in various ways, like coaching Leo to take a big one, and his teasing of some of the other ones. He kind of stands back, watching them, and then he dicks with them at times, in a good way, that is.

So, Chapter 400 should not be a magical ending to this bent saga, BC? I didn't know that worried you. As fast as I've been cranking out chapters lately and ideas flowing, I guess we need to keep going if you guys want to keep reading. Some time we need to figure out if we should end this and start a sequel, as for someone just starting to read this, it's like starting 'War and Peace'. That might discourage new guys from even starting, and, ultimately becoming bent like the rest of us. Something to consider.

Wednesday night is here again and time for another chapter to keep you bent guys happy. Please stay safe and healthy. Until we can hug again, FT.
 
Chapter 396 – A Planning Discussion With Taylor and Nate Shares Something Personal

Monday mornings were always the hardest, coming off of a busy packed weekend, Gay Night on Saturday night, which always took a lot out of us for some reason, plus a couple of sex packed nights that drained our balls. It was nice having Terry in bed with us. He was such a sweetheart and had a chest and cock that could take your breath away, and make you hard for days. Terry was quite comfortable with Jake and me at this stage of the game, and had become a great help on our busy nights, even helping Jake out at the bar, when I had to be elsewhere, like basketball practice on Tuesday nights.

They guys were all happy to see Terry with us in the showers on Monday morning. He got his chest, cock and balls felt by several of the guys before he could dry off and get dressed. Something he had grown to really enjoy with the closeness to all of us. He said he had to run back to Ty’s and change clothes for his first class, telling us he loved us and would see us later. This was the last week of classes, mostly review sessions before a week of finals, then the Christmas break. I couldn’t believe that a whole semester was over already. Only five more semesters to go, I thought to myself. Still, that seemed like a lot, when you thought about it.

Before heading off to Stat class with Jake, I sent a text to Will to see how last night was. I told him to call me later with details, but to just text me if it was great, good, bad or indifferent for the time being. I got a text back saying, ‘still in bed – will be late for work’. I took that to mean ‘great’ which excited Jake and me to hear.

We met Trevor, Andy and Thad at the SU for coffee after Stat and before Ty’s marketing class. Trevor wanted to know what everyone was doing for Christmas. We all kind of exchanged plans. I told them the bar would be closed from Saturday before Christmas and open back up again on Saturday, December 30th, although we would just have a regular opening, no Gay Night that night. So whatever or wherever anyone went for Christmas, we needed to be back by that Saturday around noon to get ready to open that night. Sunday night would be New Year’s Eve, so we should be pretty busy that night. School wouldn’t start until a week from New Year’s Day. I told the guys, if anyone needed to be gone longer, it should be an easy week for us with all the college kids on break. We needed to know who’d be here and who wouldn’t so we could plan. Trevor and Andy said they’d probably be back, as they weren’t gong to be apart from one another that long. Andy said he was primarily going to be at his parents with Tony for Christmas Eve, Day and then head to Trevor’s house to be with him and his family, since they had so much fun with his family the last time Andy visited. Thad said he and Cliff would be in town, so to count on him being here. I told them Jake and I would be here also. Having planned out who was going to be where, we headed off to Marketing.

Ty was happy to see us, when we all arrived early. “What have you done with our precious Terry?” Ty asked Jake and me. We just smiled.

“Why, is he missing?” I asked, teasingly.

“No, not at all. We just haven’t seen that much of him lately, as he seems to be spending more time with you guys than he does with Bret and me,” Ty replied.

“I’m sure he thinks the two of you need some alone time together, and he’s trying to be polite and make himself scarce,” I replied. Ty smiled.

“Well, we certainly didn’t mean to scare him off. He’s such a great guy, and we’ve really come to enjoy him. I guess he’s bringing a roommate back for the second semester? Maybe a cousin of Jake’s, if I remember right?” Ty asked. Jake smiled.

“My first cousin, Luke, is transferring here for next semester. He and Terry get along great, and I’m sure he’ll enjoy you and Bret also,” Jake assured him.

“Looking forward to it. If he’s half as great as you are, Jake, I’m sure we’ll love him all the same,” Ty replied.

“Oh, he’s that and more, Ty. Better looking also,” Jake commented. Ty seemed quite pleased to hear that. “He’s going to be working with us also at the bar along with Terry. Terry’s been a big help lately with our increased business.”

“We need to get him in this class along with you guys. I’ll see what I can do to get him transferred in here. Don’t forget, next semester we work on the dormitory project as a case study. I got a couple of other students that are highly motivated to work on that project, although the whole class will rotate in and out of the project as we make our way through it. This could be extremely interesting and helpful. Just think, you guys will get considerable credit for the course, while working on your own business. Can’t get much better than that,” Ty exclaimed.

“How’s your thesis coming?” I asked him. Ty smiled.

“Well, Bret and I are working hard on it, although I have to say we tend to get sidetracked at times, now that we like doing physical things with one another,” Ty replied. We all had to laugh, considering we all knew what they were doing. “We’ll get it finished in time. No worries. I am going to have to buckle down and work a little harder this next semester. I did prepare the outline of my thesis and present it to my sponsor for approval. They were excited to see what all we were working on and the mounds of research we have to use to support the project. The committee said this should be one of the more interesting ones they’ve ever had the privilege to review. Anyway, it sounded encouraging,” Ty told us. We all patted him on the back, telling him what a great job he was doing and what a great friend and consultant he had become. Ty seemed very honored to hear that.

Before class started, I got a text from Taylor asking me if I could stop by before noon, as he needed to run something by me. He said he’d be at the frat until noon, so to stop by any time before then. I texted him back, telling him I’d be by after my current class.

Ty spent most of the class reviewing all the material we covered this semester, but getting the class excited about next semester and our project with the dormitory. I could tell he was overly excited about getting started on this major project and mentoring all of us through the process. I was actually very proud of Ty and his efforts to help us, and in a way that we all learned about marketing in the process. Of all the professors’ I’d had to date, he was the most impressive of all. I only hoped we could keep him involved in our business from here on out. Something told me, he was interested in staying close to us and our business. That excited me to no end, as I was certain we were going to need someone like him as we continued to grow and add businesses. Plus, his ties to the university, would only help attract more gifted individuals to possibly employ for the future. This could work out extremely well for all of us, I had to believe.

Class finally over, Jake headed back to the bar. I told him I was going to the frat to meet with Taylor. “Don’t molest my gymnastics buddy now,” Jake warned. “Terry and I heard you lusting after him last night in front of us. Don’t get him naked and all hot and bothered.” I had to laugh.

“Hey, I heard you and Terry talk about how hot he looked naked last night also. It wasn’t just me. You get to see him naked four days a week when you work through your routines. I’ve only caught him that way maybe once, and it was only for a few seconds, not standing there beside him in a shower oogling his hot body and nice balls and cock,” I replied. Jake laughed.

“Josh, just for the record, Taylor has a nicely haired ass crack also. It looks so beautiful and inviting when he bends over in the shower to wash his legs and feet. Terry and I almost want to drive our dicks home right then and there,” Jake said, getting me all excited.

“Now you’ve done it,” I told Jake, disturbed he had to try to horn me up like that. I acted like I wanted to choke him for telling me that. He warned me he’d tickle me if I tried to choke him. Well, that ended that little skirmish rather quickly, as there was no way I wanted to get tickled.

I said hi to a few of my frat brothers when I got to the frat house. I made my way up to Taylor’s room and knocked on the door. He opened the door, dressed only in some loose athletic shorts, with a bare chest. The shorts gave me a nice outline of his junk, almost giving me a stiffy right off the bat. He pulled me in and hugged me, adding to my penile excitement. “Hey, thanks for stopping by, Josh. I really appreciate it,” Taylor said, during his warm welcome.

“Hey, for you, any time, Taylor. Always happy to help in any way I can,” I told him, as he gave me a big smile. “Love your chest, by the way,” I said, staring at his nice pecs and perky nipples. Taylor laughed.

“I think Jake has a chest almost identical to mine,” Taylor chided. I smiled.

“Close, but I saw yours before I ever met Jake, and I guess I’ll always be in love with your chest,” I said teasingly. Taylor smiled, shaking his head.

“You were always a character, but a character with a big heart, I have to say. You’ve been such a great friend, Josh. I really treasure our friendship, like you wouldn’t believe,” Taylor complimented me. I told him likewise for sure. “Do you want me to put a shirt on, if my chest distracts you?” he asked.

“No, hell no. I like what I see, and I don’t get to see it that often. Jake gets to see you every day. Makes me jealous, I have to tell you. He even gets to shower with you, which makes me even more jealous,” I teased, making Taylor laugh.

“Well, if it means that much to you, you’re welcome to shower with me here at the frat any evening. I’d do that just for you,” he teased, almost making my cock hard at the thought. I chuckled.

“That just might get us into trouble, Taylor. I don’t know if I could contain myself.” That made Taylor laugh that much more.

“Oh, trust me, you have much better looking guys than me to shower with and enjoy. I’m afraid I wouldn’t be much help to you in that area, but I’d still love you just the same,” Taylor replied. “Before you get too hot and bothered, I wanted to talk to you about what I had in mind for my succession in leadership for the frat. I know you and Tim have become close friends, something I think is really wonderful actually. He needed someone like you to be his friend, and help him through everything he’s had to go through lately. I mean, what happened with his parents is just awful. That could have destroyed many a young man. His whole world fell apart on him, but you were there to catch him and save him, Josh. I can’t thank you enough for all the care and help you gave him. He’s a pretty happy guy these days, and by rights, with everything he went through over Thanksgiving break, he should be a basket case. Most guys would be. I credit a lot of his happiness to you. I understand he works with you at the bar a few nights a week now, which gives him some spending money and allows him to hang out at the same time, with friends he really cherishes. He’s come and talked to me a few times about things, and I have to say, he idolizes you and Jake. I told him, you two are my favorite two people in this world, and they don’t come any better than you guys,” Taylor enlightened me. I smiled.

“Hey, Taylor, coming from you, that really touches my heart. You know you’re one of our favorites also. You stood by me last year when things got a little dicey with Tuck. I’ll never forget that,” I reminded him. Taylor smiled.

“You opened Tuck’s mind which allowed him to open his heart, Josh. He sincerely apologized to me for not being more sympathetic about my brother’s suicide. You really turned him into a decent caring friend, when before, I really didn’t care for Tuck all that much. Yeh, we were friends and all, but not really close brothers like we became after you got involved. I can’t love you enough for what you did for Tuck, and I know he loves you for all the things you’ve helped him with,” Taylor shared with me.

“So what’s your succession strategy, before I have to get out the Kleenex to wipe the tears from my eyes with all this reminiscing mushy stuff,” I casually joked. Taylor chuckled.

“Sorry, didn’t mean to get us into a melancholy funk. But I love you just the same,” he replied. I told him the feeling was extremely mutual, but I’d love him more if he showered with me sometime and let me wash him. Taylor cracked up, saying he was more concerned he might fall more in love with me than he already was. I wasn’t quite sure how to take that, but chuckled along with him.

“I have something in mind, but I wanted to run this by you to see what you think. Our current vice-president is leaving school at the end of this semester, technically, the end of next week, at the start of break, after finals are over. He may leave before then, as he’s been partying too much and he’s flunking out. Anyway, I need to appoint a new VP, but I know you don’t have time and, technically, it should be someone that lives in the frat house. I talked to Tim about accepting the position. He’s a little nervous about it, because of you know who, Harvey. I need you to help convince him he needs to accept this position, which will most likely ease him into the presidency for next year. He’ll have to stand for election, but most all the guys like and respect Tim. I know Harvey thinks he’s going to run and win the presidency for next year. Truthfully, he talks a good game, but those who really know him, don’t really care for him, for obvious reasons we all know why,” Taylor explained. I had no trouble following his logic.

“Tim shared your proposition with me, and asked what I thought. I told him if you thought it was a good idea, then it was. We needed to support you however we can, Taylor. You’ve done a great job with the fraternity ever since I’ve been involved, and I know your heart is here, wanting to continue the pride and prestige of the sports frat for years to come. Picking a qualified successor is important. Can you imagine what the frat would be like if Harvey were elected president? Good grief, those of us that are proud of it now, would be embarrassed to tears with him as president,” I commented. Taylor smiled.

“You, of all people understand that, Josh. I know you care about the frat. Hell, you really put us on the map by getting two star-football jocks to join the frat, and even move into the house. I mean, this is a first. I had a beer with Tuck not too long ago, and hearing that, blew him away. Although, he did smile, and say that we didn’t need to ask how you made that happen, just be grateful that it did,” Taylor said, chuckling. I had to chuckle also, knowing the real story, which wasn’t necessary for anyone else to know.

“Anything to help move us down the road to bigger and better recognition,” I replied. “Just think, they’re only juniors so we have them for another year even. Should help us immensely in recruiting new talented pledges for next year.”

“Absolutely. See it’s thinking like that, we need for officers for the frat for next year. Since I can’t have you, the mastermind with a plan, I’d like Tim, who we could say, you have great influence over, and I’m sure would help him in his duties as president. I know you wouldn’t let him down. That would be getting two for one, as far as presidents go,” Taylor replied.

“I’m sure Tim will be fine on his own, with little help from me, Taylor. But, I pledge to do whatever I can to help him. I couldn’t let him down no matter what, just like I could never let you down. I care too much about the frat to let any of the members down also. Harvey cannot be president. He just can’t. You have my help, Taylor,” I assured him. Taylor got up and hugged me.

“I knew I could count on you,” Taylor said, as he hugged me tightly. I told him always, it was brother helping brother. He told me I was the most unselfish and most caring friend he’d ever met.

“You know I have to love you too, Taylor. You introduced me to Jake, the love of my life. Don’t know how you saw that the two of us would hit it off so well, but you did, and that was the greatest gift anyone ever gave to me. I could never stop loving you for what you did there,” I assured him, as I was still hugging him.

“Hey, all I did was introduce you. You took it from there and made it beautiful. The credit is all yours,” Taylor told me. I almost cried. He finally let me go.

“Hey, now I have a proposition for you, and surprisingly, it doesn’t involve sex, although, if you think it would help, I’d be more than glad to strip naked right now and be your love slave, doing anything you’d have me do,” I teased. I thought Taylor was going to bust a gut laughing.

“I have one regret, Josh. I wish you had been my little brother last year instead of Tuck’s. No, I take that back, as you worked miracles with Tuck, and that’s what we needed the most for this frat. I loved Eric and still do. It all worked out the way it should have, only I would have loved having you as my little brother also, as I’m sure there was a fun time every night you were here for study time. Tuck said he valued every minute he spent with you. I have no doubt he did and still does,” Taylor told me. “Sorry, you distracted me. What is it you wanted to ask me, Josh?”

“For the record, those study nights were a lot of fun. It’s a wonder I lived through them, as much grief as I gave Tuck at times. But that’s history. Now for the future, as you’re planning for your succession for next year, I’m planning for our company’s expansion for the future also. You’re graduating at the end of next semester, and, undoubtedly, will be looking for a job. I’d like to offer you the opportunity of a lifetime to come work with us. I mentioned this to you once before, and you told me you were interested in talking about it. I’d like to grab your ass sometime, well not technically, and then again, yes, I would like to technically grab your ass, but what I meant to say, was I’d like to take you to our offices sometime and introduce you to a few of our management team players, have you get to know them some and see what you think,” I offered.

“Wow, sounds good to me, even grabbing my ass sounds good to me when you put it that way,” he replied jokingly. “No, I’d really be interested in talking to you and your guys about an opportunity. If it makes sense for both parties. Did you have some area of concentration you have in mind?” Taylor asked.

“We need someone to work with insurance companies and set up insurance, healthcare, liability, fire for our properties, all that great stuff that we need to insure for the company. Also, delve into personnel issues and put together employee handbooks for all the companies with standardized policies and procedures that we all have to sign off on. You’d do some traveling to the various businesses, but they are in great places to travel for sure. You’d have to work with each individual entity to put together the insurance packages and policies and procedures,” I explained.

“Wow, Josh, that sounds extremely interesting. I might not know all I need to know in those areas. I mean, I have a general knowledge of insurance, having taken a few courses, along with some personnel and business law. Are you sure I would be able to handle what you’re looking for?” Taylor asked, somewhat concerned. I smiled.

“I’ll get you all the consultants you think we might need to use, along with a nationwide insurance broker to assist and guide you in putting together all the plans in each state and locality. That make you feel a little better?” I asked. Taylor looked like he was blown away. “Salary wise, we’ll beat anything you might be offered elsewhere, if you’ve done any interviewing, and you’ll have stock options with our company. You’ll report to the executive board, which is only three people, two of which you know intimately, me and Jake,” I enlightened him. “In ten years, you could be a very rich man, not to mention having the pleasure of working together with Jake, me and a bunch of other really great guys. Now, does that make your dick hard?” I asked. Taylor chuckled.

“It should, since nothing else seems to these days,” he said, chuckling. “Wow, I’m absolutely blown away. You sure I’m a fit for you guys?” he asked, not sure of himself.

“Taylor, we love you, dude. Yes, Jake and I trust you implicitly. Our goal is to find talented people who want to make a difference, join with us, and share our dream for building this wonderful company, and elevate those that help grow it, bring others along, and give them a path to greater prosperity and success. It’s basically our fraternal creed of brothers helping brothers, if you want to simplify it,” I assured him. Taylor was blown away.

“I’m not quite sure what to say. You have me almost speechless, Josh. I always knew I’d be involved in some kind of business, but I had no idea where I might end up. I like it here, and I love you guys. Wow, to be in business with my own fraternity brothers and to help build something for the future with you guys, would be an absolute honor. Are your sure the rest of your team would be good with me working with you guys?” Taylor asked.

“They’re going to love you, Taylor. They’re all great guys and are extremely talented and supportive. I’ve already told them about you, so they’re expecting to meet you soon,” I told him. Taylor was still somewhat shocked.

“Wow, like I said, I’m almost speechless. Sure, I’d love to meet the guys and talk about what we can do together. I think there’s a senior level insurance class I could pick up next semester, I should probably look into, if that’s where you’d like me to concentrate my efforts. I’ll have to see what’s available for a senior level personnel course also. If nothing else, I can pick up one online if necessary,” Taylor replied, thinking it through.

“Hey, if you need to pick up a class after you graduate that would help you, the business will pay for it. Plus, there’s several consulting agencies we can look into to help develop our policies and procedures. We’ll invest in whatever makes the most sense to get us started. We need to do it right, so that’s why I need someone I can truly trust like you, to help make sure we do it right the first time,” I explained.

“Well, I’ll put my heart and soul into it, Josh. I might stumble once in a while, until I get it right, but I won’t stop until it’s done right. I hope you can understand,” Taylor explained.

“Hey, it’s a team, Taylor. We’ll be there to support you. If you stumble, we’ll all work beside you to pick you back up and get you going again. I can at least promise you that,” I assured him.

“Wow, again, I don’t know what to say. I’m overwhelmed with excitement at this point. I wasn’t looking forward to a lot of interviewing and the possibility of moving far away. I guess I don’t have to worry about that anymore. Plus, you never know the personalities of the people you might end up working with. At least I know I have nothing but the best people and brothers to work with here. Knowing that, takes a lot of stress off a person getting ready to graduate, let me tell you,” Taylor replied.

“So, you good with everything we talked about?” I asked.

“More than good, Josh. I’m honored, excited and overwhelmed all at the same time. I almost can’t wait to graduate now. Wait until I see Jake today at practice. He is going to get some loving like you wouldn’t believe,” Taylor said, excitedly.

“Wait, Jake gets the loving, and I get, what, a handshake?” I asked jokingly.

“No silly. You got hugs already. You know how I feel about you,” he replied, then opened his arms and hugged me again, running a hand down the back of my head, with his cheek pressed up against mine. “I do love you, Josh. You have brought happiness to my life in so many ways. You’re my frat brother, but I see my brother in you in ways. I wish he’d lived long enough to know you. I have a feeling he could have lived a long full life knowing and befriending you. I feel so sad he never got the chance to see what he could have been with someone like you to have helped him on his way. Still, you don’t know how much it excites me to see and watch you be as creative and skillful as you are, befriending all those that need help in ways, and always there for someone needing help. You are nothing short of a miracle in my mind and in my heart, Josh. I say that truly from my heart,” Taylor said with tears in his eyes. I hugged him tighter.

“I wish I would have had the privilege to know your brother, Taylor. If he was half as great a person as you are, I would have loved him dearly,” I told him. We stood there for a few moments in silence, just holding one another in a hug.

“Well, I better get dressed, and grab some lunch. I have a class in about an hour, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to concentrate with as much excitement as you just gave me,” Taylor told me.

“It’s only going to get more exciting. I can promise you that. And, if you let me watch you change clothes you, that just might get me excited,” I chided. Taylor laughed.

“Oh, this is going to be fun working with you and Jake. I can tease the hell out of you,” he replied, with a big grin. I rolled my eyes.

“Now don’t you go and become a dick tease. It’s not nice to tease a gay guy like that,” I warned. Taylor smiled, then leaned down and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.

“There, will that suffice for a thank you?” he asked.

“Taylor, all that did was make my dick hard. You are a dick tease,” I teased. Taylor rolled his head.

“Then what can I do for you to let me know how much I appreciate you?” he asked, almost willing to do anything.

“You could get naked and let me watch you get dressed for starters,” I chided. Taylor dropped his shorts, but he had on his briefs, and a nice bulge in them I have to say. Then he put on his jeans.

“There, did that make you happy?” he asked, assured he’d outwitted me.

“I could kiss your nipple before you put on your t-shirt and sweater,” I jested. Taylor started to laugh.

“You are incredulous, Josh, but I can’t help but love you. Of course, kiss my nipple, why not,” he said willingly. I moved in, held his arms then kissed his left nipple running my tongue around it and over the tip. “Oooo, that felt kind of neat. You might as well kiss the other one, you know, for symmetry’s sake,” he chided. Damn, I felt like I got a bonus. I didn’t waist any time, in case he changed his mind, then moved over to the other one, gently chewing on this one. Taylor giggled and stepped back. “That tickles,” he said, somewhat giggling. “Okay, enough. I think you made my dick hard with that little maneuver. Didn’t expect that to happen,” he said still chuckling. I smiled gleefully.

“For the record, you have beautiful pecs and some very nice nipples, Taylor. Thanks for that. I’ll go home and dream about that tonight,” I chided.

“You’ll go home and chew on Jake’s nipples. He has a better chest than I do by far. And, he’s a wonderful guy. You two are very fortunate to have one another, and love one another like you do. I am so proud and happy for both of you, Josh. I truly love you both,” he said, getting serious again. I hugged him again and thanked him for humoring me. He said it was a blast, as I was so much fun. I told him I could be even more fun if he’d let me. Taylor chuckled, then put his t-shirt and sweater on, then we headed out the door. He gave me a side bro-hug and told me we’d talk soon. I reminded him I was going to get him over to the office soon to meet the rest of the guys. He said he couldn’t wait.

I left Taylor and ran up the stairs to see if Tim was in, hoping I wouldn’t run into Harvey, and ruin the excited feeling I had with Taylor. Tim’s door was half open. I peeked inside to see if he was there. He was laying on his bed in just a pair of athletic shorts, looking at his laptop. I pushed the door open and popped in, closing the door behind me.

“Hey sweetlips, what’s up?” I asked, as I dove at him. Tim lit up like crazy seeing me.

“Josh, what brings you over here?” he asked all excited.

“You, of course. Couldn’t stay away from you being this close. Just had to see you,” I said, as I ended up laying beside him, then hugged him and went for a passionate kiss.

“Oh, you make me excited every time I get to see you,” he said, when we broke from the kiss. I ran my hand up his bare hairy leg into his shorts and felt his balls and cock. “Oh, boy, now you really got me excited,” he said, as I felt his penis begin to expand in my hand, as I gently stroked it inside his shorts. He latched onto me and kissed me again. I let go of his cock, then pulled my hand out of his shorts, only to grab the waistband and pull them down to his knees exposing his erotically hot manhood, with his penis springing to attention, then moved my head down to his junk to inhale that gorgeous cock in my mouth. “OMG. Josh, wow, you do know how to say hello, I have to say that,” Tim said, as his head flew back and he absorbed the sensuous feeling I was giving his manhood. I only gave him a few strokes, as I sucked his rigid cock, before he gave me a warning that stopped me dead in my tracks. “Josh, we have to stop. Harvey will be back almost any minute. We can’t let him catch us like this, as much as I want to raise my legs and have you fuck me at the moment. Now is not a good time, darn it anyway,” Tim warned. I came off his dick, then helped him pull his shorts back up, then kissed him one more time.

“Well, it was kind of fun while it lasted. Something to be said about living dangerously,” I teased. Tim shook his head smiling.

“Yeh, it was fantastic, actually. I loved it. You’re so spontaneous, which is something I love about you. That was pretty fantastic last night at the Natatorium. That hot tub scene would have made a hot gay porno video. That Dylan is really a hot number. Damn, I couldn’t believe he just jumped right in there and had at it. I didn’t think he played with you guys at all,” Tim remarked.

“Dylan is a sweetheart, and he shares his love with Jake and me. That’s about it, though. It surprised me that he was willing to join in with you and me. He knows how much I care about you, Tim. He sees that, and knows you’re genuinely care about me and Jake also. He told me you’re good people and he trusts you. I guess he proved that last night, as he just doesn’t mess with any of the others at all. He has a strict rule about that, which all the guys know and respect. I was happy he participated though, as you got to see how wonderful a guy he really is,” I explained. Tim said he really was a great guy and a great lover also. By this time, we were just sitting on the bed when we heard the door open and in comes Harvey.

“Well, if it isn’t my two best gay friends, come to play with each other?” Harvey asked. Tim told him to stuff it. Harvey laughed. “Josh, you need to teach Sweet Lips here how to lick assholes so he can take care of mine, since I can’t find any babes out there that want to do it for me. I think Jack is full of shit. Fuck, he’s gay, how would he know if women lick assholes or not. Is that something gay guys do to each other a lot?” Harvey asked. I smiled at him and shook my head.

“I’m not giving away all my male pleasuring secrets, Harvey. If you don’t try, you’ll never know,” I teased.

“Damn, if that’s not the truth, although hanging with you guys, I’m finding out more stuff all the time, some of it scaring me, but some of it feeling pretty damned hot. Just wish I could find a girl to help out in those areas. You need to help me find one, Josh. With all those bitches that show up on Wednesday nights, as horny as they are, there has to be someone in the crowd to lick my balls and lick my asshole. I promise to clean them up first,” he chided. Tim looked disgusted.

“You know, just for you, Harvey, I’ll ask around and see what we can find. I’m sure they’re out there. Like you said, as horny as those ladies are, and as crazy as they behave on Ladies’ Night, there have to be some that are horned up enough to do just about anything with a guy to get a dick up their twat,” I replied.

“There you go, Josh. Spoken almost like a true straight guy. Still, if you can’t find a girl, could you at least teach Tim some of your tricks, so he can pleasure me on nights I can’t get laid?” Harvey asked. Tim threw a pillow at him. “I mean, my balls get backed up if I don’t get laid at least a few times a week. We all don’t like it when our balls get backed up. I’m sure even gay guys know that feeling, but you guys just suck dick or fuck ass and get your rocks off just about anywhere, and whenever you want,” Harvey added.

“It’s not quite like that Harvey. We generally tend to care about the guys we have sex with. It’s more of a special time together when we make love. Now, grant you, there are guys like Jack for instance, that will almost go down on any cock anywhere, if he thinks the guy is hot, but most of us, we really prefer to care about someone we’re having sex with, to make it more meaningful to us,” I replied.

“So, the fact that Jack sucked my cock and licked my asshole last Saturday night, indicates he thinks I’m not?” Harvey asked, curiously. I shook my head.

“I’m sure he does, Harvey. Jack’s not too particular who he fucks or who fucks him if they’re decent looking. You at least pass the decent looking test,” I chided.

“Wait, you said hot earlier, and now you say decent. So which is it? Am I hot or am I just decent to another guy of your persuasion?” Harvey asked.

“Pick one, I don’t care,” I replied, making Harvey shake his head, and Tim chuckle.

“I prefer ‘HOT’. Let’s go with that,” Harvey replied. “Well, gents, I have to run take a quick shower. I didn’t get up early enough to catch one this morning. I just slid out of bed, put on some clothes and headed to class. Might be a little ripe by now, after a hot time in the sack with my bitch last night. Hope I didn’t wake you when I came in last night, Tim. You looked like you were having a good dream. Almost too good, actually. Thought about jumping in the sack with you, and see if you’d give up some boy ass, so I could try it out, but I was out of bullets at the time,” Harvey jested.

“Harvey, you’re a piece of work. Let it be known, there’s no boy ass available to you here in this room. If you want that, I suggest you try Jack on for size, that is if you think he’ll have you,” Tim replied. Harvey looked shocked.

“Well, Josh just said, Jack thinks I’m hot,” Harvey replied, with a big grin. “Why are you over here today anyway, Josh? You and Tim are getting to be pretty chummy these days, which makes me concerned about Timmy here, maybe starting to have feelings for you or something,” Harvey commented, with a little devious smile. Tm rolled his eyes.

“I came over to see Taylor about a matter, then since I was here, I came up to see you guys to tell you about the Christmas schedule for the bar. Glad you finally showed up, so I could tell you both,” I went on to tell Harvey and Tim the schedule we had outlined for Christmas break. I told them both, there wouldn’t be any shows until the week after New Years, when school started up again.

“Damn, that’s like no excitement for two weeks. Glad I have a bitch at home that likes to fuck, or did at least. She wouldn’t put out during Thanksgiving break. I guess I’ll have to find a new one. There was this girl in high school, we all used to lay, the Lacrosse team that is. Maybe she’d lick my balls or tongue my asshole. Worth a shot. She was even half decent at blow jobs, although I have to admit, Jack’s the best so far of any I’ve ever had,” Harvey admitted.

“I wouldn’t be sharing that with any of your friends back home, Harvey,” I told him. Harvey gave me a face, as if to say, ‘no fucking way’, as he stripped naked, throwing his clothes on the floor, then acted like he was looking for his towel.

“Hey, want to check out your manscaping, Josh? Looks pretty fucking hot,” Harvey said, as he paraded around naked, showing off his manhood, thinking he was driving me crazy with lust for him.

“You know you have to keep that up for yourself. I’m not doing it again for you,” I reminded him, although the package I was looking at was pretty damned hot.

“My balls are still smooth, Josh. Feel those babies,” he said, rolling them around practically in my face. I couldn’t resist reaching out and touching them, rolling his nice balls around in my fingers, to see if there was any pube stubble yet.

“No, they’re good. I’d say, give it a week and then you’ll probably have to shave them again. It’s better to keep up with it, than let it get out of hand, like it was,” I told him.

“Look, Josh, I still have some wild ones at the base of my cock where my balls sack starts. How do I get rid of them?” he asked, as he lifted up his penis and stretched his ball sack to show me a couple of stray ones. I shook my head.

“Sometimes you don’t get them all, but they’re hardly noticeable, Harvey. I wouldn’t pay them any attention. Catch them next time. Just be sure to stretch the skin to keep it tight when you shave it. That will help you get most of the hairs and reduce the risk of nicking yourself,” I shared.

“Damn, don’t want any razor nicks. I still cringe when I think about you taking a razor to my balls, but you did great, Josh. I have to admit, I’m pretty proud of my stuff down here,” he said, as he surveyed his junk, still inches away from my face. I could have buried my face in his junk in a heartbeat, just like I had done minutes before in Tim’s junk, but this was Harvey. Even though his junk was hot and very desirable, it was connected to a homophobic narcissist, that I didn’t really want any part of no matter how hot he looked.

“You are right about one thing, Harvey,” I started to say, when he looked for me to continue. “You are a little ripe down there. I can smell ball sweat for sure,” I told him, as he continued to roll his balls around close to my face. “Guess you better be heading to that shower and get your balls smelling pretty again,” I chided. Harvey shook his head.

“Damn gays can lick an asshole, but don’t like the smell of sweaty balls. If that don’t beat all,” he replied, shaking his head. “Hell, that’s all we smell in the locker room when we finish a Lacrosse practice. I guess you swimmers, swim around in chlorine all the time, which keeps your balls smelling like someone just Chlorox’d them, disinfecting them and sanitizing them. No wonder you don’t breed women, your balls are sterile anyway. What’s the point? Right?” I laughed.

“You have so much to learn about life, Harvey. But that’s okay. Go take your shower. I don’t really want to smell your smelly balls anymore,” I told him. Harvey swung his balls and dick back and forth in my face, giving me a fantastic aroma of man sweat, man musk, with a hint of sperm smell, enough aroma to make my dick start to get interested, which I didn’t need in front of Harvey for sure.

Harvey finally found his towel. Okay, so much for our little chat. Gotta go freshen up my boys. See you girls later,” he said, then finally headed out the door. Tim and I broke down laughing, as we hugged each other.

“I can’t believe you got him to let you smell his sweaty balls, Josh. That was amazing how you handled that. He thinks that gay guys think that smell is putrid or something, when it drives us practically crazy with lust,” Tim exclaimed.

“I was so bad, Tim. But, damn, he’s so easy, it’s unbelievable . Hey, if we have to put up with him, we might as well have some fun,” I replied.

“It gives me great joy to see you play him like you do. He drives me crazy at times, and I think, where’s Josh when I need him to turn the tables on Harvey and at least let us get the better of him sometime. You just did that to him miraculously. That was beautiful. Hey, you want to see something else?” Tim asked, excitedly. He jumped up and found Harvey’s briefs he just took off and threw on the floor, as he quickly got naked to tease me. Tim picked up Harvey’s briefs and inhaled them. “Damn, now that’s Heaven,” Tim pronounced. He threw them to me. I took a whiff of them also.

“Oh, fuck, I think I just oozed a little pre-cum with that scent. Damn, you might want to hold onto these and keep them around to jack off with,” I suggested. “I mean, these are almost a perfect balance of sweaty balls, man musk and cum combined. The fucker must have thrown these back on last night after he fucked his girl, then put them back on this morning. He double duty’d his briefs. Shame on him, but great for us,” I commented. Tim smiled from ear to ear.

“Well at least, that’s one thing Harvey is good for and good at, leaving his soiled briefs laying around for me to smell occasionally, although with as much action as I get from you guys anymore, I don’t have to jerk off that much. It’s much more fun with you guys,” Tim admitted. I gave him a tight hug.

“I gotta run grab some lunch, then I have a class, and I should show up at the office today sometime. You’re welcome to come over and study with us anytime, even if I’m not there, make yourself at home, Tim. You’re always welcome. We need to talk about Christmas break also, and where and when you’re gong to be. You’re welcome to stay with us, if you don’t want to spend that much time in Florida with your dad,” I offered. He seemed excited and relieved to hear that. “There’s a chance some of us might make it down to our resort in Key West. If we go, I’ll let you know, and maybe you could join us down there for a couple of days. Also, we have a bar in Ft. Lauderdale, The Tight Jock. Two of our most loveable friends are running that for us, and we might stop in to pay them a visit. You said your dad was near there somewhere?” I asked.

“It’s Hollywood, Florida, right next door to Ft. Lauderdale. I don’t think you can tell when you go from one to the other, actually, from what Dad told me. We had a great talk the other night on the phone, I forgot to tell you about. He said he’s so much happier down there with his new job and some new friends. He said he’ll explain a lot of things when I get down there, and we can have time to really talk. I told him I was looking forward to spending time with him, because I needed answers. Josh, he told me, I was the most important person in his life, and he loved me more than himself. He said there was a lot I needed to know, and he’d explain it all then. I think we’re making some progress anyway. I’m looking forward to spending some time with him at least. I told him about you guys, and how much you all meant to me and adopted me into your family here. I told him I felt totally cared for by you guys. He was so happy to know that I had very close friends to depend on that cared about me. He said that was important in life, as friends and family were the only real things that mattered.” I hugged Tim again, then kissed him on the cheek, telling him I loved him. He told me he loved me more than I could imagine. I pinched his ass for that one, making him smile. “Hey, next time we get to finish that BJ you started before Harvey came back. I have to resent him for that,” Tim chided. I laughed, kissed him on the lips one more time, then headed out, telling him I hoped to see him later.

I joined Jake, Jordan, Nate and Buzz for lunch at the bar. “Gees, we could have an actual Board Meeting with just this group,” I teased. Jordan rolled his eyes. Nate said he’d serve as corporate secretary. Jordan reminded him he was the official corporate secretary, making us all laugh.

“So what’s everyone doing for Christmas?” I had to ask. Jordan said he and Buzz were going to visit his mother, a few hours away from Uni. Buzz said he’d spend a few hours with his sister’s family, wanting to see his nephews, and Jordan was going with him there also. “Gees, you think someone might think you two were becoming a couple?” I asked, jokingly, but with some seriousness to the question.

“I’m pretty sure my sister knows or at least suspects, but she told me recently, she’s never seen me happier than I am these days, and she was grateful that I was. She said I spent years just going through the paces and not excited about anything. Now she tells me I get excited about everything. She said I have really evolved into a fun guy with a great personality instead of being a self-possessed nerd,” Buzz stated.

“You were a nerd, Buzz. I have to admit, you have come a long way, and developed a fun personality along the way. But, we loved you when you were a nerd also, and we love you even better now. I think we do, guys, don’t we?” I teased. Buzz bopped me on the back of my head, making us all laugh.

“Nate, what are you doing for Christmas?” I asked, trying to get the new guy into the conversation. “I know corporate secretaries mostly listen, and write what they think they hear, but this time we’re asking you to talk,” I told him, making us laugh.

“Thank you, Mr. CEO. Yes, I’m a lawyer first, I guess, and therefore, not revered by most of the public out there, but I do have a family that tolerates me at least, and I will be spending a couple of days with my folks and a couple of siblings and their families,” Nate replied.

“Nate, we truly revere you, regardless what most of the public thinks about attorneys. We happen to think you’re important, along with your happiness. Any luck with the boyfriend scene, or are you getting any sex at least?” I asked, seemingly embarrassing Nate somewhat.

“Gees, Josh, why don’t you ask him to rip off his clothes and get naked right here and now. Who are you today?” Jordan asked. Nate chuckled.

“It’s okay, Jordan. I get Josh. He’s a great guy. No, I haven’t found a boyfriend yet, although I have an acquaintance in my hometown, I will get to see over the holidays. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve spent intimate time together, so that has at least a possibility of happening again. He’s a professional also, and neither one of us has found anyone else to spend our lives with, although we’re both passionate about our work. He’s in med school to become a general practitioner, and join a practice somewhere when he graduates. He’s a med student at Northwester University in Chicago. He doesn’t really like it up there. He says the winters are brutal, but he doesn’t have much time to go. He says he’s already been accepted at City University hospital in the City to do his residency. At least he’ll be a little closer then. We’re not really a couple, just close friends, but we kind of enjoy each other in the Biblical sense occasionally, since neither of us has much time outside work,” Nate explained.

“That is so cool. Where, and how, did you guys meet?” I asked. Nate smiled.

“You won’t believe this, but we were in high school together,” he said smiling. “We were friends all through high school. I was the valedictorian, and he was the salutatorian, if you can believe that,” Nate confessed, blowing us all away.

“Good grief, childhood sweethearts, if that doesn’t beat all,” Jordan remarked.

“I think it’s very sweet,” I replied to an embarrassed Nate.

“Yeh, being the two nerds in school and having many of the same interests, we were best friends, and kind of found each other sexually, spending so much time together, and doing what guys do when horny and in high school. We didn’t date much, because we were too busy researching things and learning. I guess we didn’t have the motivation most horny high school guys have for chasing pussy. We just studied together and then when we were horny, took care of each other. I wouldn’t characterize ourselves as ‘lovers’, but we were comfortable with each other and trusted one another completely. I find myself missing him more as the years go by, than I did when we first went in separate directions. That sounds kind of corny, really,” Nate confessed.

“Nate, I think I just heard a love story, if you ask me. Neither one of you has found a significant other, because you’re looking for each other in a significant other, and there isn’t a match out there. Like it or not, it sounds like the two of you are destined to be together,” I said, excitedly. Nate kind of shook his head.

“You know, we’ve actually joked about that before, just the two of us. We end up laughing it off, mostly because it isn’t realistic, when you think about it,” Nate replied. I asked him why not. “Well, he’s got all this schooling and his residency to go through. He’s in Chicago, then he’ll be in the City after that for a few years. I’m over here, and have the dream job, I’ve always wanted. I couldn’t be more happy professionally, than I am right now. It just doesn’t have much of an opportunity to work out for us. We both are professional men that understand the value of our careers, and I guess you could say, that takes priority over personal relationships,” Nate replied. I shook my head.

“Nate, you can have both. Look at Jordan and Buzz. Look at Jake and me. We love our jobs, but we have our relationships that go along with it. I’m telling you, you can have both,” I replied.

“Not realistic, Josh. It takes a lot to get into a residency program. He was fortunate enough to at least get into one in this state. At least he’s closer than he’s been in a long time, but long distance relationships don’t really work. Neither one of us has the time to travel back and forth to be with one another, as much as we’d like to be. It’s better off being friends and living our own lives. He’ll meet another cute doctor, and maybe with a little luck, I won’t meet a cute lawyer, but rather someone else to divert my attention from my work,” Nate replied, having thought this situation through, possibly hundreds of times.

“Don’t give up on love, Nate. You can’t. Don’t ever do that. If you love him, then you’ll find, hell, we’ll find a way for you two to be together. You have a family now with some significant influence in certain areas, and we can all put our heads together and see if we can’t solve this love relationship situation,” I said, excitedly.

“You go, boy,” Buzz urged. Even Jake was getting excited.

“Josh, I’m not so sure we’re compatible anymore. I mean, we’ve lived apart for several years now. Granted we talk on the phone quite a bit, but we only see each other maybe two to three times a year, at best. We might not like each other if we were around each other more often,” Nate suggested.

“Sorry, Nate. Not buying it. Just the way you talk about him, tells me you really love him. You can see it in your face and sense it in your voice. Can’t you, guys?” I asked.

“Kind of seems that way,” Jordan replied. Buzz said he could sense it. Jake said it was a true love story, one that should be made for television. I had to stare at him for that answer. Nate shook his head at us in disbelief.

“Gentlemen, we have a major quest here before us, one that might take our entire management team to solve, but certainly a quest worth solving for the happiness of our new associate who has become part of our family. How do we get Nate and, good grief Nate, you haven’t even told us his name. No more keeping secrets. Spill, so we can refer to him by his name, as one of us,” I urged. Nate looked embarrassed.

“His name is Hunter, guys,” Nate finally told us.

“Okay then, the quest is how do we get Nate and Hunter, true loves together so they can be with us and happy and prosperous in the love between them for the rest of their lives? Put that in the minutes of our impromptu board meeting we just had, Mr. Secretary, as one of the major goals and objectives for this coming year,” I instructed. Nate shook his head smiling.

“You guys are something else. Remind me not to tell you anything personal in the future to get you all excited,” Nate replied. “Seriously, guys, if it’s meant to be, then it’ll happen. You don’t have to get involved and do anything special to help it one way or another. That’s not your job or concern. It’s something Hunter and I have to see if it makes sense or we even want to try,” Nate explained.

“Nate, your happiness is paramount to us. We want your sharp legal mind, as well as your happiness working with us. We want you prosperous, successful, and most of all, happy with the love of your life. What more could a man want out of life?” I asked. Nate was smiling and shaking his head.

“I guess we’ll have to see where this goes. I’ll let you know what it’s like being with him over Christmas. Still, we have the distance thing to work out, which isn’t going to be easy. I’m not sure when his residency starts in the City,” Nate explained.

“What if we could get him a residency here in Uni?” I asked.

“Josh, those take a long time to secure. To do that, he’d had to apply a couple of years ago. That’s not an easy thing to change,” Nate informed me.

“Hey, we know some people that know some people, so not easy might just become easy. You just never know. Think positive happy thoughts,” I urged.

“I could get excited about the possibility of that happening, if Hunter was interested in making a change, but I don’t want to get too excited about it, because the possibilities of that happening are almost nonexistent,” Nate replied.

“Oh, don’t count Josh out, Nate. I swear he could move mountains if he needed to. He doesn’t give up until he finds a way,” Jordan assured him.

“You have a picture of the fellow we’re going to adopt and love along with you?” I asked. Nate smiled big time, somewhat embarrassed. He pulled out his wallet, and dug through it, until he pulled out an old photo.

“It’s kind of stupid. This is when we were in our senior year in high school. We looked a little nerdy then, hell, we still do, I guess,” Nate said, as he shared the picture.

“You guys are so cute together. Damn, makes my dick hard just looking at the two of you, though. Can’t wait to meet Hunter, Nate. You need to get him over here to meet us,” I urged.

“Hell, you guys might scare him away,” Nate replied, making us laugh. “On second thought, I’m sure he’d grow to love all of you. He’s a special kind of guy in many ways.”

“All the more reason we need to make this work. Make sure you record that in the minutes, Mr. Secretary,” I instructed.

 
Another great chapter as always, FT. Jake and Josh are becoming more attached to Terry all the time. No problem loving that boy. Would love to get a feel of that gorgeous chest myself. Whew! Ty and Bret seem to miss his company lately. I can only imagine the boys might see less of Terry once Luke appears on the scene, or they might see more of both. Talk about kissing cousins. Jake seems to have a soft spot for Luke also.

Taylor is working the political scene of the frat. Poor Harvey. He has no idea what's coming at him. Loved the interaction between Josh and Taylor. Taylor is so professional. He should let his guard down a little and let Josh have his way. Still, Josh really respects Taylor and the job offer seemed to really get Taylor excited. Well, enough for him to let Josh lick his nipple anyway. And what is with this 'symmetry' thing??? Very cute, FT. I guess if I kissed and licked one nipple, I'd surely like the other one also. And Taylor was the one suggesting that. Humm.

Good grief, Harvey is something else. He played right into the hands of Josh and Tim thinking that sweaty balls disgusted the boys. Hardly. Can't believe Tim picked up Harvey's sweaty used briefs and sniffed them. I have to admit, it sounded kind of hot. If Harvey only knew what Josh and Tim do, it'd blow his mind. Still can't believe Harvey flaunts his junk in front of Josh like he does, asking him if his balls are still smooth. I think he gets a kick out of Josh touching him there for some odd reason. Is this a power thing with Harvey or what?

So, Nate does have a boyfriend, that he hardly ever gets to see. Now we have Hunter in the picture, a boyfriend that went a separate way. Will Josh be successful in finding a way to get these two together? More importantly, do the two want to be together long term? You've created more questions to be answered in coming chapters, FT. As always, can't wait to see some of this unfold. All the more reason to keep typing and take us further down the road of this great adventure between loving hot boys, who do great things for one another and have one hell of a lot of fun along the way. In these strange times, this fictional story gives us a distraction of happiness we enjoy so much. Keep up the great work. We need you, buddy. BC
 
BC resumed perfectly this chapter.

Josh cannot resist helping two lovebirds.

And there's Harvey to handle and Caleb to help. Josh's gonna be soo busy up to Xmas and maybe more..

Keep it coming, FT, and keep it cumming ..|

Good luck with your Scrabble game, Chaz. It's funny to see you mother kicking your ass, buddy. I'm sure she still loves you though. Have fun.

Until we can hug again, FT
 
Chapter 397 – Curtiss is a Go and Nate Gets Excited

Lunch on this Monday had been fun with Nate. Nate was growing on all of us. He was just so easy going, but as Jordan commented several times to me, was sharp as hell in the business arena. Jordan couldn’t be happier with Nate. Our discovery of Nate’s love interest, his high school buddy and sweetheart, Hunter, was all the more reason to be excited about Nate. He deserved to be happy, and have someone of his own. You’re always a little concerned when someone is by themselves with really no love interest in their lives and not anxious to try to find someone. The same situation existed with Taylor, I had to believe. Still, none of us knew for sure what tripped Taylor’s interest. He was somewhat of a loner, totally into his education and running the frat, without any drive to find love. Taylor might have to be our next quest after we found a way to secure Hunter in our family of friends.

Nate had hugged me after our luncheon before Thad and I headed off to Ken’s office to bug him before Accounting class. Nate told me that he couldn’t believe how thoughtful and caring I was. I told him at the time, if you were going to work for us and be part of our family of friends and work associates, we had to care about you. We only hired those that we thought could really understand us and our mission, and we could grow to love and respect. Nate said he felt all of that from us, and couldn’t be happier. But he told me it wouldn’t make any difference in the way he felt or his future with us, if it wasn’t possible for Hunter to be here with him. He told me he thought that could never happen, but it sounded wonderful at the time. I told him to think happy thoughts.

Thad was intrigued by the Hunter situation. He thought it was really special that Nate had a buddy, and sweetheart in high school, and they still cared about one another. He told me it was really romantic to think about it. I kind of had to agree. Although I still loved my childhood buddies and sweethearts, there was a time meant to be that we parted and went our separate ways, finding new adventures, friends and love. We all enjoyed our new opportunities, but we all still cared for one another, and would for life.

Ken got excited to see us, when we walked into his office. “Hey did you find us a new prof for next semester, one that we can have some fun with?” I asked Ken. He shook his head at me.

“Josh, you’re going to have to act professional. Yes, I have you two enrolled in the next phase of accounting with Louis. He’s a little more outgoing than me, you might say, but I have no idea what his sexual preference is, and I highly suggest you don’t try to fuck him right off the bat,” Ken replied. I shook my head smiling.

“You were supposed to find us an excellent prof who’s a good lay. What the heck, Ken? One simple little task, and you couldn’t make that happen?” I teased. Ken chuckled.

“Yeh, like that’s an easy task. I don’t know all these TA’s. We see each other every so often at department meetings, but I don’t really get to know them personally. I just know he seems very upbeat when exchanging ideas in our meetings, and I thought he might be a more enjoyable prof to have instead of some boring, unenthusiastic professor. He’s my age, and not bad on the eyes, so at least you can bone up watching him in class, and try to figure out what he looks like naked underneath his Khakis, like you do mine,” Ken chided.

“Oh, another khaki wearer. You guys are all alike. Cute, huh? And, upbeat and enthusiastic? Well, that’s a start. At least we have something to work on, Thad. How long do you think it’ll take us to get him naked, bent over his desk, and we put it to him?” I asked Thad.

“With your record, two weeks tops, I’d say,” Thad replied.

“Sounds good. Okay, we accept your offer of a replacement for you, Ken,” I teased.

“I almost feel like I need to warn poor Louis about you. He has no idea what’s coming at him,” Ken replied, half-serous. Thad and I laughed.

“If tell him about us, tell him we offer the most intense orgasms known to man, and he can count on regular service. That ought to get him interested, and if it doesn’t, you’ll need to find us another prof,” I informed sweet Ken. Ken shook his head, not knowing whether to believe us or not.

A little buzzer went off in Ken’s office, for which I had to ask, what the hell it was. “It’s my new two-minute warning signal. It means we have two-minutes to get to class. Thanks to you guys, I had to set it up so I’m not late for class, tied up with your craziness. I hate being late,” Ken said, as he quickly grabbed his briefcase and we all headed out. I had to laugh.

“What would have happened had you been bent over your desk with my cock in your ass, pounding you home when that buzzer went off?” I had to ask. Ken smiled.

“I guess we’d be late for class,” he said, chuckling. I told him, ‘right answer’.

Ken spent some time reviewing what we might expect on our final exam. It seems we had covered most all the material we had been expected to cover this semester. He told the class he was going to miss teaching next semester, but hoped they had learned the fundamentals of accounting from what he taught them. He got a lot of positive feedback from the class, saying it was easy to understand, the way he explained it. I had to agree. I knew Thad and I were going to miss him in the classroom, but I was more than happy, he was going to be with our company for a long time to come. Thad and I could still tease him as much as he could endure or welcome, even have some fun with him also, if he so desired. Ken was good people, and I was proud to be his friend.

Thad and I went back to the office with Ken after class, as we had become accustomed to doing. Thad and I cornered Curtis, then moved him out of the bullpen to the coffee kitchenette, to ask him about Ted. Curtis smiled.

“Ted’s a great guy, Josh. We hit it off great that night. As a matter of fact, we really look forward to working with one another when he graduates. I told him we could actually start before then. Ted said he was all for it. I can show him some of the consolidation stuff we’re working on and the outline for the insurance and personnel compliance that you guys want us to implement, when you get the guy that’s going to head up that department,” Curtis mentioned.

“I get all that, but how did you two get along physically? I mean were there any sparks between the two of you?” I asked, excited to hear what happened. Curtis smiled.

“Oh, we got naked and checked things out. He said I was too small to take care of his needs, but I’d be a great friend anyway. He didn’t want to waste my time, as he said there really couldn’t be anything physical between the two of us with my little thing,” Curtis said, almost crushing my anticipation of what I envisioned. I shook my head in dismay.

“Curtis, I’ve seen your bulge before. You can’t be that small, not that Ted wouldn’t be interested. You stuff a sock down there or what?” I had to ask. Curtis burst out laughing, but I was still concerned.

“Josh, easy, buddy. I’m kidding. I’ve got a good 8” with a decent girth. I think I have enough to handle Ted in that department. In fact, I know I do, because we burnt up the sheets Saturday night when he stayed over. Yeh, I think we’re very compatible,” Curtis replied, totally relieving my concerns.

“That’s not funny. You had me worried for a moment,” I told him. He was still smiling.

“You knew all along there would be an attraction there. I have to say, I am totally grateful for bringing the two of us together. He spent all day Sunday with me and last night also. I think it’s the start of a beautiful relationship, Josh. And for the record, we didn’t just fuck, we actually talked to one another. We were naked most of the time, so we had nothing to hide. Ted asked me about my ex and what possibly broke us up. I told him about my ex and this Axle guy, my ex always looking for something better and not reciprocating for me with my needs. Ted said he had the same thing happen to him with his little brother at the fraternity. He said he fell in love and then had his heart broken. We both had that in common. I promised him I would try desperately not to break his heart, and if we got serious, I would never cheat on him. He thought that was great. We had some great discussions, Josh. I really felt comfortable just hanging out with him, holding him, hugging him and the sex, well that was unbelievable. He told me that you actually were the one that helped him find himself. He’d never had sex before with another guy, until you helped him with his problem, which, by the way, I think is a wonderful problem to have. I can help him with that little problem all the time. Gees, was that ever great news,” Curtis said excitedly. Thad looked puzzled.

“Oh, so he told you about his problem already? Damn, he didn’t waste any time, did he? Yeh, I kind of thought it was a golden opportunity when he first told me about it,” I replied, as Thad was still puzzled.

“What was his problem? Tell me, this is killing me,” Thad urged. I smiled, as did Curtis.

“Ted has a problem of over production of male semen. He needs to ejaculate often. Anal intercourse, we found out, mainly from a lot of practice, helped ease that significantly, cutting down the number of times he needed to ejaculate, because anal intercourse increased the amount of semen ejaculated at orgasm, so it didn’t build up as fast. Otherwise poor Ted has to jerk off a few times a day,” I explained. All Thad could say was ‘wow’.

“I can promise you this, poor Ted never had the need to jerk off the entire time we were together. I think I kind of ran my balls dry a couple of times, but it was worth it. When I kissed him goodbye this morning, he said he’d be good until tonight, with the intensity of the orgasms I gave him. I told him I was more than willing to help him with his problem anytime. Ted laughed, but said it was more a show of caring that impressed him. He thought he could really care about me,” Curtis shared. Thad and I were extremely impressed to hear the two hit it off so well.

“So, it sounds like you’re off to a good start. I’m happy for the two of you. Ted’s such a loveable guy, and deserves a great guy like you, Curtis,” I assured him.

“Hey, he wants to take the relationship easy, but he’s good with the fucking, for obvious reasons. He’s still hurt from what happened with this Jack guy, although he said he learned a lot from that, mainly that he was capable of love. I told him that was the greatest part of all. He told me he just had to be careful who he shared his heart with, more cautious not to get to broken. Again, I promised him I would never knowingly break his heart. He said he was going to hold me to it. I’ll promise you that also, Josh, that I will never knowingly do anything to break Ted’s heart,” Curtis professed. I gave him a hug, which surprised him. “Wow, that was nice,” Curtis commented. Thad grabbed him and hugged him also. “Gees, we need to have more meetings like this more often.” Thad and I chuckled.

Receiving better information from Curtis than I ever anticipated, I told him to keep me informed, and, if the two of them needed anything to let me know. “Oh, there is one thing, Josh. Ted doesn’t want you to tap his ass anymore, unless you tap mine as well,” Curtis said with a smile. I had to laugh.

“Sounds like a hell of a deal to me. Tell him I accept his terms,” I chided. I told them I had business in legal, and left them to their accounting business, as I slipped out the door and went down the hall to Jordan’s suite.

Jordan rolled his eyes when I stopped in to see him. “I can’t believe what happened at lunch today, Josh. You really think you can help get this Hunter guy over here to Uni for Nate?” Jordan asked, extremely skeptical. “I hope to hell you didn’t get Nate’s hopes up, only to find out it’s not possible, and then he’ll be majorly disappointed,” Jordan continued.

“Jord, if we can’t get Hunter here, and they think they have a shot at a long-term relationship, then we can always let Nate work in the City, kind of like you and Greer did before, if you remember,” I reminded him. Jordan did seem to think that might work. “I’d love to have him here, but if it isn’t possible, then we definitely can be flexible enough to let Nate work from there so he can be with Hunter. We have to help these two get back together if that’s what their hearts desire,” I assured him.

“Okay, you already thought through the downside and found a solution. Good work,” Jordan told me. I smiled.

“Why do you think Stoney made me the CEO?” I chided.

“Point well taken,” Jordan replied, with a smile. “You know, you are something else, when it comes to caring about people.”

“It’s either a curse or a blessing, I’m not sure. But, it makes me extremely happy to help others help themselves, mainly. That’s the biggest bang I get out of life is seeing others do well and become successful. If I can do anything at all to lend a little help to that, then I just feel good, that something good happened in this world. I’ve been thinking about that, and the opportunity Stoney gave to all of us. We need to set up a scholarship fund, you know, to contribute a certain amount per year to an endowment fund that will be used for scholarships for guys that can’t afford college on their own and where student loans would almost break them paying them back for years. I was fortunate enough to get a swimming scholarship and to help award two scholarships for this year for two more guys, Ethan and Aiden. But, I’m sure there were others that needed help as much as these two needed it. Jeb’s family was dirt poor, and between student loans and working, he was able to go to school. Poor Edgar gets a minimal amount from the state to go to school, and has to work to be able to afford it. I’ve got those two covered and taken care of, but I’m sure there are many others out there that, given the opportunity, could use a helping hand to make it work for them and be potential future employees for our company. Another way to possible recruit bright young employees would be, if hired, we could pay off their student loans. That would make us an employer of choice very quickly, I’d think,” I told Jordan, kicking around some ideas.

“Both ideas are actually great, Josh. I’ll look into setting up an endowment fund for starters, then we can work on policy for your other idea of paying off student loans if hired. Nate can help me work that out,” Jordan replied.

“I need to ask Nate if he typed up the minutes for me to sign from our board meeting at lunch,” I told Jordan.

“You aren’t really going to do that, are you?” Jordan asked. I winked at him and got up to go across the hall to Nate’s office.

Nate looked up and smiled, when he saw me. “Did you get a chance to right up the notes from the board meeting at lunch, so I can sign them?” I asked. Nate shook his head smiling.

“Seriously? You’re not serious, are you?” Nate asked, not sure if I was serious or not.

“Absolutely. I think it’s a novel idea. And, I know how to make it work so leave it up to me. That is, if you’re serious about a long-term relationship with Hunter. I mean far be it for me to push you into something that you’re not sure or happy about. But if it makes sense to you guys, and you’re serious about being together and sharing your lives, then we’ll try to do whatever we can to make that happen,” I told him. I thought he was going to cry.

“Josh, you are the most caring, loving person I’ve ever met, or hope to meet, in my life. I can’t believe you’re serious about this. I’m not sure if Hunter feels the same way about ‘us’ now, as he did before, when we were younger and almost inseparable, but it’s possible. We’ve never really discussed being together long term, as we just figured our careers would take us in different directions to different geographies. It’s kind of funny, however, that neither one of us has found anyone else in our lives to compare with one another,” Nate shared with me.

“So, on the few times you get together during the year and enjoy some intimacy, pardon me for asking, but is it passionate between the two of you?” I asked, curiously. Nate smiled.

“Very passionate. It’s like we don’t want it to end, Josh. It’s hard to say goodbye to one another. Sometimes we spend a whole day in bed together. We talk, then make love, then talk some more. The time goes by way too quick. It kind of hurts when we have to leave one another. But then we see each other again, and it’s like we never parted,” Nate replied.

“That says it all. You two are in love, Nate. Imagine what it would be like if you didn’t have to leave one another, and got to see each other every day. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” I asked him. Nate smiled.

“It really would be, Josh. I guess we just never thought it could ever happen. Kind of sad in a way, now that you made me think about it,” Nate replied.

“No worries, buddy. We’re seriously going to work on this for both of your sake. You need each other, and you need to be with each other. Talk to Hunter over Christmas, or talk to him on the phone before if you want. Hell, I’ll even fly you up to Chicago if you want to go see him to see whether you think it makes sense or not. But don’t let this opportunity slip through your hands, Nate,” I warned. Nate seemed happier than ever.

“Josh, I don’t know what to say. I never expected to be working for someone as compassionate as you, and the rest of the guys here. I’ve shared that with Hunter many times when we’ve talked. He’s told me it’s not like what he has to put up with in Chicago, everyone’s trying to outdo each other and get ahead. He says they’ll fuck you up just to get ahead of you in crazy ways. He really doesn’t like it there, and said he hoped it would be much better when he gets to the City. You just never know what you’re going to end up with, but at least he’ll be a little closer, unless we can get him over here somehow.”

“Again, we’ll go to work on that. I know a very influential doctor at the Uni Med Center, and I’ll contact him and see what he can do for us,” I informed Nate.

“Can I hug you? I mean really hug you?” Nate asked, needing to express his excitement somehow.

“Absolutely. I love hugs, Nate, and I’d love all the hugs you could give me,” I replied, as I held out my arms and he practically picked me up hugging me, our cheeks together, his hands all over my back to the point my dick got interested.

“I see why everyone loves you, Josh. You’re so kind and loveable. I’m a whole new person since I’ve been here with you guys. I’ve never felt happier in my life. Now, if we can just get Hunter here, I’ll never want for anything else in my life,” Nate whispered in my ear as he held me tight. He finally let me go.

“Thanks, Nate. I loved the hug. You should do it more often. I’m always open to hugs. It means a lot to me, and it felt good hugging you. You mean a lot to me and to us. We have to keep you happy, and a little crazy like the rest of us,” I chided, to break the seriousness and lighten the mood. Nate smiled as he wiped a tear from his eye. He was deeply touched, I could tell. Wow, I had no idea. “Hey, I have swim practice I have to run to, but talk to Hunter, and start to get a feel for whether you two think you’d like to be together. That’s the first thing we have to determine. The rest is mechanics,” I assured him. Nate thanked me over and over, and said he’d talk to me soon.

I bopped in to see Jordan for a second, again. “Hey, Nate’s good. He really does love Hunter, Jord. He’s going to talk to him and get a feel for whether the two of them think they could have a long-term relationship. Then he’ll see him at Christmas sometime, and they can really determine what they both want. If it’s a go, we’ll go to work on seeing if we can get Hunter an residency of some sort, here at Uni Med Center. I’m going to talk to Dr. Wayne about how that process works, and find out if there is anything he can do for us,” I informed Jordan. Jordan shook his head.

“Playing matchmaker again, huh?” Jordan asked. I smiled. “I will say you are certainly good at that. You have a way of determining character, what works and what doesn’t. You never cease to amaze me, Josh.”

“Well, if I had more time, we’d go to the conference room and have that long overdue conference meeting we need to have, but I’m kind of out of time today. Gotta make a beeline to the Natatorium. I’m already going to be late,” I told him.

“Here, let me run you over there in the car so you’re not late. That’s the least I can do,” Jordan replied. I liked that idea better. I texted Zach and told him to bring my bag with him. Jordan got his coat, and we headed out.

“Haven’t ridden in the Benz for a while anyway. Nothing like going in style,” I told him, as we got in and took off. I put my hand over on his crotch and felt his dick through his dress pants.

“What are you doing, you crazy guy?” Jordan asked, almost giggling. “You are just full of surprises today for some reason.” I had to chuckle myself, as I unzipped his dress slacks to get to his underwear and cock.

“Damn, Jord, you have your red bikinis on today. You were ready for me. What’s up with that?” I asked curiously, as I dug his hardening cock out of his underwear and finally got it out in the open to let it breathe.

“Well, I knew you were coming to the office today, and by chance we got to have a conference meeting, and you happened to pound me out on the conference room table, I wanted to be dressed appropriately. I wasn’t expecting a blow job on the short trip to the Natatorium, but, hey, I’ll take what I can get, I guess,” Jordan replied, making me laugh, with a mouthful of his hard cock.

The trip was way too short, with not enough time to get him off. He was afraid he was going to soil his dress slacks anyway, but he enjoyed the attention I gave him. I put his cock back in his red undies and zipped up his dress slacks, putting him back together. Then I grabbed his head and kissed him passionately.

“Wow, I need to drive you over more often, with that kind of attention. Nate must have really wound you up today,” Jordan remarked. I smiled.

“He’s good people, Jordan. You did great finding him. One of the best hires yet,” I said, as I finished kissing him and opened up my door to leave. “See ya, bud. Hope I didn’t give you blue balls by having to stop too soon,” I said, apologetically. Jordan shook his head, then told me he’d live. Off I went.

I met Zach, Ethan, Aiden and Andy at the lockers. We got naked together, then suited up for practice. “Little different in the day time than it was last night,” Ethan commented.

“What, you guys workout last night?” Aiden asked concerned. “You never called me. I could have come.”

“It was kind of an impromptu last-minute thing,” Ethan replied. “I guess we kind of forgot.”

“Make sure we call Aiden from now on,” I told them. “Hey, I’ll have Allen and OBB make it up to you soon,” I promised, making Aiden light up like crazy. Promise him dick and he’s happy, I thought to myself.

I caught Drew, and told him that Dawson was working at the bar now, and he and Stu should stop over and have a beer with us sometime. He said he’d like to, then asked how Dawson was doing. I told him he was doing much better than I expected. He had increased sales, and was teaching the rest of the staff on how to up-sell, generating more sales per customer, which had increased sales and profits. Drew was surprised, but happy to hear Dawson was doing well.

“He’s still straight?” Drew asked, suspiciously. I smiled.

“Yes, you don’t have anything to worry about. I tease him all the time about it. He’s a good sport, but he still feels awful for what he put you through. He’s told me that many times, when we talk about what happened. He really feels guilty about that, Drew. I hope you can forgive him over time.”

“What’s to forgive? It was all a brain tumor he had no control over. It wasn’t my friend that was doing what he did to me, it was the damned tumor. There are times I wish he still had the tumor, Josh, as I sometimes miss the passionate Dawson with his cock up my ass making love to me. We had several years of passionate love between us. I know it sounds crazy, but a part of me misses that,” Drew confided in me. I found that interesting.

“Let me venture a guess here, but I think the love that Dawson had for you is genuine and still there. He just can’t make it work physically with you anymore, Drew, and besides you have Stu for that, and are very happy these days. The physical love you had with Dawson was a roller coaster, and frustrated you beyond belief. When you were fucking, you were lost in love and lust. But between fucking and normal living, you were a wreck with what was going on between the two of you. I truly believe that in his heart, Dawson still loves you emotionally and always will. He has no desire to share physical passion with you, but he still loves you as much as he ever did, Drew,” I explained. Drew was trying hard to absorb what I told him.

“You’re saying he truly loved me all along, but the physical part was brought on by the tumor?” he asked.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying. Maybe Dr. Wayne could explain it better, but I have to believe, from my discussions with Dawson, that he really did love you emotionally, and still does for that matter. You’ve been his friend and buddy for life, Drew. I couldn’t throw that kind of friendship and love away. He’s embarrassed about what happened and how he treated you, but that doesn’t change the way he feels about you. Hug him the next time you see him, as I’m sure it’ll mean the world to him. He needs that as much as you do,” I assured Drew. Drew looked surprised, but accepting of what I told him. He said he’d hug Dawson again, and treat him like his best friend in the world. I told Drew that would be great for both of them, and let Stu in on it also, as Dawson wasn’t a threat to Stu anymore. I told Drew about teasing him all the time, and how Dawson had become a good sport. Drew thought that was funny. He wondered if he could get to the point where he could tease Dawson also. I told him I was sure he could.

I had Drew work with Aiden and Ethan, doing some time trials on them, like he used to do with me. I went to check on Andy and the relay team. “How’s the relay team shaping up this year?” I asked Andy.

“Well, Les is a hell of a lot more cooperative this year than he was last year. I guess he was just frustrated last year. Now that he enjoys dick up his ass, he seems to have a lot better attitude and seems to move faster. The handoffs are good. We’re just working on speed at the moment,” Andy replied.

“Do you have them running laps to build their wind?” I asked.

“We’ll start that soon, as that’s what we need to build endurance. You guys that swim the long distances forget that we have four people on a team that swim short distances. We need to do sprints, quick to start and run like hell,” Andy chided. I patted him on the back.

“So how was it really with Les and Brandon Saturday night when you and Trevor took them home with you?” I had to ask. Andy smiled.

“You know, I thought Les might be an ass, but we all had a great time together. Les and Trevor are almost two of kind. Brandon is quiet like me. I really liked him. Les is fun and crazy, like I said, very much like Trevor. Brandon is quieter and more reserved. Very passionate, though. Both of them really like to fuck, I will say that,” Andy told me.

“Did you get either one of them to top at all?” I asked. Andy smiled.

“We made Les top for both of us. Damn good at it too. We had to tell him he wasn’t getting anymore dick until he gave some. Well, that didn’t last very long, until he was willing to top. I had Brandon top me. He said it was okay, but he loved my dick in his ass. All in all, we had a good time, which I wasn’t expecting at the beginning. I’m sure we’ll do it again soon, as they seem to be hard up for cock.

“Hey, we need to have a shareholder meeting this week sometime, possibly Thursday night. We need to talk about the new shareholders we want to add, so we can take care of that after the first of the year. I would assume you and Trevor could be available then,” I told Andy.

“Sure, sounds good. We really should do that. I can’t believe the first semester’s gone already. At this rate, we’ll be graduating sooner than later,” Andy chided.

“It can’t come soon enough, and then we can really get this thing moving. I’m afraid it’s going to become uncontrollable way before we graduate. We need to slow down some, but we have all this capital that’s idle, and only making interest ,when we could be investing in projects. Tom and James need another Citation, their business is booming. Thank goodness we had the foresight to lease the hanger next door to us and have the room, but that business is taking off, no pun intended. It’s damned profitable too. The irony of the situation is, the new plane and crew make a profit the day we start them. It doesn’t get much easier than that. Will’s expansion over at the ranch is adding an additional 50% revenue to the ranch this year, which was way profitable before, and now even more so. The dormitory will be on line the third quarter of next year, which will significantly increase total company sales revenue, although it doesn’t show much of a profit the first year, but gets better every year after that. We need to decide whether to operate it or lease it out to one of the chains that operate private dormitories. That we need to decide rather quickly, as it’s only eight months out, realistically, and I’m sure as far as leasing it to a chain, they’d like to get started probably in March to be open in August,” I informed Andy. Andy shook his head.

“Wow, did we jump in deep or what?” he asked. “Last year, we were just new college Freshmen on the university swim team, with only winning swim matches on our minds. In a few short months we’ve gone to bar owners, to mega bar owners, to operating and expanding a huge ranch, operating and expanding an aviation company, building a dormitory, building an office building, and why not throw in a clothing optional resort in Key West to add to the fun,” Andy joked. “Well, we did make ourselves a pile of money in the process. We can’t forget that. Good grief, Josh, did you ever in your wildest dreams think we’d be where we are today in less than a year?” Andy asked, as if we were kind of crazy.

“Never, Andy. You started it all, when you introduced me to Tony, and thought we might want to buy the broken down corner neighborhood bar for your brother and Ollie to take care of on the side. I blame it all on you,” I chided.

“Hell, I didn’t tell you or encourage you to turn it into the profit maker it became, and make it the number one gay bar in the state practically. You were the one that got carried away, if I recall. At that point, Tony and Ollie were just hanging on for the ride, with you steering the ship. Great job, though, and we got #2 out of it also. I guess we kind of had to expand with as much money as we were making out of #1. Then you and Stoney got together, and, good grief, things couldn’t happen fast enough. I guess he knew he had problems, and wanted to make sure things were taken care of if something happened, which, unfortunately it did,” Andy said, reminiscing. I gave him a hug.

“We did good, Andy. We really did good, and we made a lot of friends along the way. I don’t have any regrets, other than I wish I was graduating from college this year instead of another two years from May,” I told him.

“It’ll go by fast enough, Josh. Besides, we have to get the dormitory ready to open, and we need time for that, so don’t wish the time to go by too fast.” I had to agree with him on that. I was starting to feel the pressure.

Realizing, I needed to get back, I gave Andy another hug and patted him on his ass. “Don’t let Les abuse that beautiful cock of yours, or Trevor either, for that matter,” I warned.

“Why, you want some of it?” Andy asked, with a big smiled.

“Always,” I told him, as I walked away.

Aiden and Ethan walked back to the bar with us after swim practice. On the way back, I asked Ethan if he enjoyed his BJ he got from Zach last night, when we were out of earshot of Aiden. “Hey, I kind of needed that, Josh. I don’t mind getting them, I just don’t care about giving them. I guess I’m selfish in that way, but I’m not gay, and a dick in my mouth, well, it’s just hard to take. But my dick in another mouth, feels great to me. I’m just glad you guys don’t mind. I guess that pisses off Dustin some, but I can’t help it,” Ethan told me. I had to chuckle.

“Hey, what was the name of that babe that took you home that one night with her supposed brother?” I asked. Ethan rolled his eyes in disgust.

“Whatever would you want to know her name or even think about her for?” Ethan asked. I smiled.

“Well, I’ve been assigned the job of finding Harvey a nasty girl that will lick his balls and asshole for him. I thought she might just be the one to make that happen,” I suggested. Again, Ethan rolled his eyes.

“Josh, she didn’t do any of that stuff. Her boyfriend did, and, I have to admit, did a rather nice job of it, while she distracted me with the straight stuff. Still, it was kind of unnerving he was doing to me what he was, but, if you didn’t think about a dude doing that stuff, it felt awesome,” he replied.

“Yes, but see, Harvey doesn’t know, as you didn’t either at the time, that it was a threesome instead of a twosome. Therein lies the magic,” I explained. Ethan looked confused.

“Well, that would blow Harvey’s mind, Josh. He’d freak out,” Ethan replied.

“Exactly, Ethan,” I replied. Ethan still looked confused.

“It’s a joke on him. We can act totally innocent, as if you never told us the real story, other than she wasn’t your type, because maybe she was a little nastier than you like them. Harvey told me to find someone for him, as if I need to pimp for him or something. Harvey likes ‘nasty’ girls, trust me on that. I’d like for him to get to know this girl, and whatever happens to our homophobe friend, well it just happens. We’ll see what he’s like after all that,” I explained. Ethan finally got the picture.

“Josh, you wouldn’t,” he said. I gave him a big smile. “OMG, he’ll never be the same. Hell, it almost freaked me out. Had I not had experience with you guys, and knew what to do, it would have literally freaked me out. I can’t believe you’d set him up like that. Well, in a way, I guess I could believe it. Shit, her name is Sheila. She and her boyfriend, pimp, whatever, usually come in on Friday nights. Get Harvey over here around 9:00 on Friday night and you can introduce her. I might be gone by then on a date with Cindy, but if you need me, I’ll stick around to get them acquainted. Harvey is going to flip out like you wouldn’t believe. Oh, Josh, would I give anything to be a fly on the wall to witness what happens in their apartment that night. You are one devious SOB, Josh,” Ethan remarked.

“Hey, Harvey brings out the best in me, what can I say,” I replied. Ethan had to contain his laughter.

“What are you guys laughing about back there?” Aiden, Andy and Zach asked, as we were brining up the rear.

“Just a little surprise for Harvey we’re cooking up,” I told them. They were all for whatever craziness befell Harvey.

Jake and Terry got back, shortly after we did. Jake gave me a hug, as did Terry. “Hey, you really got Taylor excited today when you met with him, Josh. Terry and I’ve never seen him that excited before. I’m telling you, he’s on fire with your suggestion that he join the company and become our risk control manager, or whatever you’re calling it,” Jake said, excitedly.

“Well, did he give you a hug?” I asked, hoping to hear he did. Jake smiled.

“Damn straight he did. He was so excited talking about it in the showers after practice, he picked me up naked and hugged me. Damn if our dicks didn’t rub up against one another. He laughed when he thought about what happened, and said it felt pretty damned good,” Jake said excitedly to my disturbed face.

“You’ve got to be kidding. All I got was a quick lick of his nipples, one actually, then he told me to lick the other one,” I replied to a confused face from Jake. “Never mind. I can’t believe he hugged you naked and you touched pee pees. Damn, I didn’t get that kind of treatment and would have loved to. He owes me now. If he did that with you, he has to do it with me,” I said, matter of factly. Jake just smiled and shook his head.

“Uh, not to piss you off, but he was so excited, he hugged Terry the same way also,” Jake confessed. Terry stood there looking guilty. I shook my head in disbelief.

“Terry too? That rascal. Unbelievable. Now he really owes me. I’ll be damned,” I said frustratedly.

“Relax, he said some wonderful things about you, Josh. He genuinely loves you for the true friend you are. He told us that over and over,” Jake tried to reassure me.

“Yeh, well, that’s great he loves me like he does, but you guys got to touch pee pees with him, and I only got to lick his nipples. I got short changed beyond belief,” I complained. Jake and Terry gave me a hug to calm me down. Ethan was laughing along with Andy and Dustin.

“Hey, babe, I told him that you’d be disappointed Terry and I got the hug of a lifetime from him, and you weren’t there to get one also. Taylor said he felt bad about that, and maybe the two of you needed to shower together sometime so he could make it up to you,” Jake informed me.

“Well, now that puts a different light on the subject. Okay, now we’re getting somewhere, although that might be more frustrating for me than good,” I replied.

“I’m not so sure. Taylor said he could tolerate a little man on man stuff if it was someone he cared about as much as you. I would assume that to possibly be naked hugs, like he gave us, or even a kiss on the lips, which he said he gave you for what you did,” Jake informed me. I told them I did get a quick kiss on the lips, and it felt damned good. I wondered what tolerating a little man on man action meant to my straight friend. I knew one thing. I couldn’t wait to find out.

“Hey not to interrupt your wishful thinking for sex with your friend Taylor, but I did get Caleb to agree to stop by tonight to have a beer with you and me. He didn’t want to, but I guess he had a bad practice today, and Tuck really got onto him about talking to you. He told Caleb his days were numbered, if he didn’t get his shit together and seek your help. So, I guess Caleb is going to make an effort to speak to us. He made it clear he wants me present, as he doesn’t want to meet with you one on one,” Dustin informed me.

“I don’t get that, Dustin. Do I intimidate him somehow?” I had to ask.

“I told him there wasn’t a more wonderful person and friend in this world than you, Josh. He could be completely open and candid with you. He had nothing to fear. But he was adamant about meeting with both of us. I told him I thought you’d be good with that, at least the first time anyway,” Dustin replied.

“I’m not going to fuck the boy, if that’s what he’s afraid of, Dust. You know me better than that. I just want to get to the root of what’s bothering him, which he insists nothing is, but we both know differently. You need to stress that to him tonight, that we all know something is wrong, and the sooner he levels with us, the sooner we can help him,” I commented. Dustin said he completely understood and already told him that, but we’d drive it home to him tonight. I felt better knowing we finally got a place to start with this kid.

Shortly after my discussion with Dustin, my phone rang, and it was from Will. I was excited to see he finally called me. “Hello, lover boy. So how did it go? I guess you finally made it out of bed. Was it this morning sometime or just recently, or maybe you’re still there,” I chided, before he even got a chance to speak. Will laughed.

“Josh, I put in a full days’ worth of work today, just so you know. I might have been horny last night, but I’m still responsible,” he replied, with a little levity. I laughed.

“So, how are things? Spill. Don’t keep me waiting. I can’t wait to hear,” I replied. Will laughed again.

“Okay, so we had a great night together. I think we really hit it off. We had dinner and drinks, then came back to my house and sat in front of the big fireplace and had some wine. We got a little hot and started kissing rather passionately, so clothes eventually came off. Wow, he has a really nice body, Josh. I got excited. We took it slow and made it passionate. We made love in front of the fire on a sheepskin rug. It was very romantic, I have to say,” Will explained.

“Great news. But, did any bells and whistles go off, rockets fire, explosions happen?” I asked, excitedly.

“Well our dicks eventually exploded, for sure. Let me just say, it was about what I expected. We’re just getting to know each other, Josh. It was great sex, don’t get me wrong, but it wasn’t like with you and Jake where I’ve grown to love you guys already. I really enjoy Jules the more I’m with him, and in time, I might grow to love him, but we’re just getting started in this relationship. Am I happy with him and where we are at the moment? I really am. I want to know more about him, and he needs to know more about me. It was a special night together. We laughed, we cried, we teased one another, and we made love. We woke up in each other’s arms together, and that really felt special. I’ve had dates and sleepovers where I regretted waking up in someone else’s bed, and just wanted to get out of there. I’ve had a guests for the night wake up in bed at my place, and they couldn’t leave fast enough to suit me. I don’t know what it is, but it just feels weird at times, although I haven’t had that much experience. Not like waking up with you and Jake, and feeling totally loved, to the point I never want to let go. But, it was good with Jules this morning. We actually made love one more time this morning. He said he couldn’t get enough of me, so that’s a good sign,” Will explained.

“Damn, Will. Okay, so I guess it went well then. So, what size cock does the boy have?” I asked, curiously.

“Gees, Josh, you get right to the heart of the matter, don’t you?” Will exclaimed.

“Hey, I love you, and whoever is fucking you better have some decent equipment to take care of you and make you happy,” I told him. Will laughed.

“Well, for your information, he’s a little smaller than you and Jake, but nicely equipped. I think I told you that before, when I was over there this weekend,” Will replied. I laughed.

“You did, but I was just checking. Sometimes feeling a cock in your hand is different than feeling it in your ass, you know,” I chided. Will laughed. “So, who topped, you or Jules?” I asked.

“We took turns, and enjoyed both ways with one another, which I felt very comfortable with,” Will explained. I sighed.

“Well, I guess you’re going to have to bring him over here for Jake and me to try him out, to see if he’s good enough for you. We’ll reserve our opinion of him until then,” I stated. Will laughed again.

“Hey, I told him to expect that sometime, as I loved the two of you so much. He said he looked forward to it, as you two guys are hot as hell, and to be fucked by you guys would be an honor,” Will replied. I laughed.

“Was he drunk at the time?” I asked. Will chuckled.

“No, he was fine, Josh. He really does admire you and Jake. He said he hoped to get to know you better in time, as he thinks you guys are the greatest for what all you’ve done and for the friends you’ve made. He told me I was very lucky to have you two care about me the way you do. I told him I was absolutely sure of that,” Will commented.

“So you guys going out tonight again?” I asked.

“We’re meeting for a bite to eat and a beer at the CNB tonight, then I’m not sure what after that if anything. I told him we shouldn’t have sex every night, but maybe limit ourselves to a couple of nights a week. He said that was smart, but wasn’t sure how long that would last. We’ll see,” Will stated.

“Why the limit on sex?” I asked, curiously.

“Not sure, but I don’t want to rush into we have to fuck every night, at his apartment or my house. I like my own space and private time also. I’m sure that will change if we become a lot closer, but for now, I think it’s smart,” Will explained. I kind of thought he might have the right idea. I loved Will so much, I wanted him to be happy, but not tied down to someone that might not be the one, over time, he wanted to be tied down to. His approach seemed logical to me, until he couldn’t stand to be apart from Jules, if that eventually happened. I told him that was good, but to take his time, and really get to know him. Will said he intended to. If Jules couldn’t be like Jake and me, then he needed to keep looking, but enjoy Jules’ friendship while he could. I told him I was proud of him.

“Hey, what are your plans for Christmas?” I asked him, wanting to know what he was planning on doing.

“Well, I’m not going back to Iowa, if that’s what you’re wondering. I just can’t do it, Josh. I spent enough time there for Thanksgiving, and I couldn’t take another day there. I told my family that, in all probability, I wouldn’t be back at Christmas, since I spent as much time as I did at Thanksgiving. They said they understood, only I know it disappointed my brother. Jules is staying here, so I guess we’ll spend some time together then. I assume you’re going home,” Will replied. I told him our plans, but that we’d be back the day after Christmas to Uni, and then I wasn’t sure what we were doing for a couple of days after that. We really needed to run down to Key West and check on our resort down there. Will said that sounded like fun. I asked him if he wanted to come along if we went, depending on what our aircraft situation was. He said he’d think about it, and see where he was with the ranch at that time. I told him the ranch could take care of itself for a couple of days at least, I thought. He laughed, and guessed it was so. Jake was bugging me to come eat, so I told Will we loved him, and I was happy for him things worked out well so far. I told him to keep in touch throughout the week, and let me know how things progressed. He promised me he would.

I got a text from Tuck, saying he was in desperate need of a massage, and would I have some time tomorrow afternoon. I had to chuckle to myself. I told him I’d try to squeeze him in before swim practice. I got a text back saying Hector was extremely grateful, making me laugh.

I caught Dawson, and told him I saw Drew today and he asked about him, when I told Drew about him working here. Dawson asked about Drew. I told him what Drew said about stopping by with Stu to see him sometime. Dawson wondered if Drew was still mad at him.

“Hey, that was over a long time ago. He told you he forgave you at the hospital before you left for home. As far as I know, you’re still great friends, D. I think he misses his friend, not his butt fucking. He’s got Stu for that now, but he doesn’t have Dawson for the friend Dawson was and hopefully still is. You guys can still be friends, can’t you?” I asked him.

“Absolutely, if he’s okay with it. I miss him too, Josh. We spent years together, the two of us, and it wasn’t just sex. We were buddies first and then developed some benefits along the way because of my damn tumor. I still love him as my friend, and always will. I just thought he probably didn’t want to have much to do with me anymore because of all the sex we had, and me driving him crazy. I really didn’t mean to cause him all that grief, Josh. You know I didn’t,” Dawson tried to assure me.

“Oh, we know, D. Drew knows, and I know. Your tumor made you desire your best friend sexually. Now that your tumor’s gone, you still love him for the friend he is and has been most of your life. He knows and understands that. He misses his friend, D,” I told him. Dawson said it would be great if they could be great friends again. He asked me if Stu would have a problem with that. I sighed. “I don’t think Stu cares at all, unless you try to fuck Drew again,” I replied, making Dawson shake his head at me.

“Darn you, Josh. I swear, I’m over that. That’s not me anymore. I like pussy now. I thought I always did, until that tumor took over and pointed me in the wrong direction,” he swore. I laughed.

“Just pulling your dick, D. Gotta tease you once in a while to keep you straight,” I replied. Dawson shook his head at me.

“As long as you’re just teasing. Although, I will say, I rather enjoyed the BJ I got last night. Damn, you gay guys really do know how to suck cock. I will definitely attest to that,” Dawson said emphatically. I smiled.

“You know, that’s one thing you never did that much of, was suck cock, D. You loved to fuck Drew’s ass and you even enjoyed me fucking your ass, but you never really did suck cock, that I remember. I wonder why you didn’t,” I questioned.

“Mainly because I enjoyed getting my cock sucked, I guess. You made me suck your cock once or twice, if I recall,” Dawson admitted.

“Yes, and you did a decent job of it also. Kind of miss that with you,” I teased. Dawson rolled his eyes.

“I’m reformed, remember,” he reminded me.

“Yeh, that was until last night, when you had a relapse,” I reminded him. He shook his head smiling.

“What am I going to do with you, Joshua? I’m just a straight guy now that likes getting a BJ once in a while, and like many a straight boy, I believe a mouth is a mouth,” Dawson said proudly. I just had to chuckle, but I was always going to give him a hard time about it.

Let's see what tonight (and tonight's chapter) will tell us and what's gonna happen with Caleb (whit a little help from Dustin)

As usual keep it coming, Ft, and keep it cumming ..|
 
Thanatos, dude! Wow! Awesome what you did there! You're outdoing You! :=D: ..|

One more thing to add to the "to do" list. Josh and Thad seducing Louis, they're new accounting TA, next semester. There's just something about a dick in khakis ...

Love Curtis's sense of humor with his teasing Josh. That boy fits right in with the all of the rest of bent bois.

Speaking of teasing, Josh really should have finished off Jordan, as thanks for the ride in the Benz. Now he owes him even more conference table time. And, now that I think about it, maybe Stoney should have gotten Jord a BENTley, though Benz is close enough, and far less expensive.

Looking forward to Thursday night's shareholder meeting. What these guys have done, and are still doing, is absolutely incredible. Thing is, it's also completely credible. If only we could get the funding, and a cohesive group together, to do that for Reals. Lovin' the dream, though!

I think it's awesome that Jake and Terry got to rub dicks with Taylor in the showers. A big "one UP" on Josh. About time! HA!

Sounds like the entourage going to Key West, to "check on" Greer, might be getting bigger. If Tom and James fly them all down, they could join in, too. I've heard that late December, in Key West, can be quite HOT! Hmmm ... maybe the next plane should be a bit bigger than a Citation?

All in all, can not THANK YOU enough, FT, bud! So, yeah ...

MORE, Please!! :gogirl: (*8*) :kiss:
Chaz :luv:

P.S.
Scrabble with Mom: I'm "up" to 10 for 24! 41.66%! (!w!) :slap: :lol:
 
Thanatos, dude, you nailed it, buddy. Damn, if you don't have the in perfect perspective. And Chaz, you just love cars. From Lincolns to Benz's to Bentleys now. Wow, we are stepping up in the world. I'm glad Thanatos put everything in perspective, as I was losing track of who was on first. So much going on and happening.

Still worried about Caleb. I don't see that coming together like Josh and Dustin hope it can. It will be interesting to see if he cooperates at all.

I'm floored that Terry and Jake got to rub dicks with Taylor before Josh got to. Wow, was that ever a punch in the balls to Josh. But then, Taylor has known and cared about Terry and Jake for some time. I wonder if Taylor knows that Terry is gay and also that he's trading ass and dick with Josh and Jake. As if that would make any difference, anyway.

And now we have a new TA on the horizon, Louis. Oh, if Louis only knew what was coming after him. I have to believe that Ken knows more about Louis than he's letting on. He'd almost have to be concerned about the boy with Thad and Josh looming in the future. Is there any loyalty between TA's? Good grief. Can't wait to find out what kind of personality Louis has.

Can't wait for more info tonight, FT. So much going on, and so much fun. Oh, and congrats on your Scrabble score, Chaz. You percentage is improving. Way to go.

So, lay another chapter on us, FT, so we can continue our diet of bent. Gotta keep that going. Withdrawal from Bent, I am told, is extremely painful, and none of us want to suffer any pain withdrawing from Bent. Love ya, buddy. BC
 
Chaz, Thanatos and BC summed up this chapter rather well. They said everything I wanted to say

As always FT Thanks for all of the time you spend writing OUR little group of Bent Boys favorite story about Bent Boys.

Brian
 
Glad to see all our bent friends check in know you guys are all good. Gees, Thanatos, Chaz and BC are right. You have really outlined all that is going on. I'm going to have to use your outline to make sure i resolve all that is pending out there you identified.

Still thinking about the Harvey Sheila thing. Not sure yet how Harvey will react to it, just yet. I'll start writing it, and it'll all come to me as I do. Don't know how that works, but it does for some reason. The Bent just flows somehow. I've got the Caleb situation figured out and can't wait to start writing that. So much happens during a week for these guys, it's hard to fit it all in. Josh gets a hell of a surprise from Tuck at the end of Chapter 399 which you're enlightened with in Chapter 400. Gees, are there really that many chapters??? Good grief, that's a lot of bent. At any rate, there's much more to come, and one thing leads to another in this story, somehow.

Everyone hang in there and stay safe. Until we can hug again, FT
 
Chapter 398 – Caleb Comes to Talk

I really did think that Dawson and Drew needed to see each other as friends and re-develop their close relationship, along with Stu joining the two. I had to believe you couldn’t be lifelong friends, and let a crazy medical fluke destroy the friendship. I know Drew was extremely disappointed that Dawson didn’t make good on is promise to love Drew for life, but that was the medical fluke. Dawson wanted to. His body wanted to fuck Drew for life, but his brain was sending out conflicting signals. Dawson truly believed he was straight and always had been. He got angry with me at times for not turning Drew around from being gay to straight. Yet, at the same time, Dawson was pounding the hell out of Drew’s ass, unbeknown to us at the time, as Drew wasn’t telling us about it, until he couldn’t take Dawson’s indecisiveness anymore. What a mess, I had to think. Still, first and foremost, the two had been, and hopefully could continue to be, close friends since grade school. That was something in itself in today’s world. From my discussions with both of them, they seemed to be open to rekindling their friendship again. It made my heart happy to think that could happen, and I would do anything to encourage it. Stu needed to be with the two also, since he was an important part of Drew’s life now. I was sure Stu would find out sooner, than later, that Dawson was no longer a threat to him.

Dustin found me after dinner. “Josh, Caleb is here. Where did you want to meet to talk?” he asked. I looked around, but didn’t see Caleb.

“Where is he?” I asked, not being able to see him anywhere.

“He’s waiting outside for me to come and get him. He didn’t want to come in without me being with him,” Dustin replied, shrugging his shoulders. I rolled my eyes.

“Good grief. Is he paranoid or what?” I asked, getting a little perturbed.

“Can’t say, but this is killing him to have to do this. Try to make him feel a little comfortable before we get into anything heavy. He needs to believe he’s with friends, and we’re actually here to help him,” Dustin replied.

“I will always do my best to make sure our guests feel welcome and comfortable, Dustin. You should know me well enough to know that,” I replied.

“I do know that, Josh, and that’s one of the things I love about you, but I’m a little nervous myself, because he’s nervous. I don’t know why he can’t just be normal, but we’re not dealing with normal at the moment for sure, and you know that better than anyone,” Dustin replied. I told him to go get him, and we’d find out what he wanted to drink, then go into the office so we could talk privately.

The two came back to me, as I was standing at the bar, talking to Jake and Terry. Caleb looked a little sheepish. “Hey,” he said, very nervously. I stuck out my hand to shake his.

“Hey, Caleb, welcome to the CNB. Is this the first time you’ve been here?” I asked, making small talk.

“Yes. The place looks kind of cool. Love the bar here. This is kind of fancy. Haven’t seen anything like this before,” he replied, still sheepishly.

“So what do you like to drink. Drinks are on us tonight,” I offered. He cracked a bit of a smile, as if he was pleased to hear he got a free drink.

“Beer’s fine. Whatever you guys are having,” Caleb replied. I introduced Caleb to Jake and Terry, who drew three beers for us. I told Caleb they were on the gymnastics team. I think Caleb was impressed with their build, as he stared at their chests. Even with CNB t-shirts on, you could see the nice outline of their pecs and their nipples. We each grabbed a beer and headed to the office. “Nice and quiet in here,” Caleb said, looking around. We sat down at our small round conference table.

“So, what am I really here for?” Caleb asked. “Not sure why I have to talk to you, Josh, but Tuck made it very clear I had to or I was toast,” Caleb started off saying.

“Let me start off by telling you that Tuck thinks you have a lot of talent, Caleb. Underneath all that toughness, Tuck’s been dishing out lately, he thinks he sees an extremely talented basketball player for his championship team. However, lately he thinks you’re distracted by something that’s diminishing your talent and ability to function at your best on the team. He’s very concerned about it,” I told Caleb straight out, which I could see was starting to irritate him some. I was hoping I could get my point across early enough to avoid him shutting me down completely, which seemed to be his method of dealing with me. “Tuck thought if you had someone to talk to about some possible personal problems you were having, that it might help you realize you’re not alone, and you have friends to help you through these things, to listen, help you organize your feelings and be supportive of you where we can. That’s all he wants, Caleb. He wants you to be a happy team member and play your heart out and become an important asset to the team, and with that, you have the self-satisfaction of knowing you were a great contributor to the overall success of the team,” I explained. He thought about that for a minute.

“Well, first of all, I don’t know you at all, Josh. You’re not my friend, by any means. Tuck trying to make us friends, does not make us friends,” Caleb replied. I stopped him there.

“He’s hoping we can become friends. Dustin here is my dear friend, and a good friend of yours, from what I understand. Therefore, the fact he’s a good friend of yours and a great friend of mine, Tuck thought maybe you’d feel comfortable talking to both of us. I’m not here to judge you, Caleb, only to help you think through and support you in solving what’s bothering you and keeping you from the type of performance Tuck thinks your capable of achieving. That’s all,” I explained.

“Well, wishing we could become friends doesn’t cut it. Dustin is a friend, but it’s different with him. I’m a straight guy, and you’re gay. Therefore, we don’t have very much in common with one another, which makes it difficult to discuss straight concerns with someone that doesn’t understand what those are,” Caleb replied, still civil, but obviously irritated at this point.

“Okay, that’s a fair assumption, if you’re having problems with a straight relationship, but is that really the problem here or is it something else?” I asked, trying to bypass the bullshit he was trying to give me. Now he was a little more than irritated.

“Why wouldn’t it be? Are you suggesting that maybe I’m gay and I’m having problems with being thought of as gay?” Caleb asked, getting a little heated.

“I’m not suggesting anything of the sort, but it seems like we may have opened up a touchy subject, as you brought that up,” I replied. “All I’m suggesting is that Dustin and I are willing for you to share what bothers you, and not judging you, help you sort out your feelings for what it is that’s distracting your performance and taking away your happiness,” I suggested. Although that statement diffused him some, he was still visibly irritated, but trying to control it some.

“To tell you the truth, I’m not distracted with anything. Dustin, do you think I’m distracted with something I can’t handle myself?” Caleb asked Dustin, trying to divert attention from himself, looking for support from his friend.

“Honestly, I don’t know, Caleb, but It’s not what I think, it’s what you think and what Tuck thinks. There’s a disconnect somewhere here that the three of us could try to sort out and get to the bottom of, that might really help you. Josh is a tremendous friend and has helped me in so many ways. Whenever I have a problem that I’m dealing with, he’s the first one I run to for help, because I know he has my best interests at heart, and he truly loves me as his friend. He really wants to help here, Caleb,” Dustin assured him, making me proud of Dustin.

“You sure he just doesn’t want your ass instead of your heart?” Caleb asked, now becoming nasty. I rolled my eyes.

“Caleb, Josh is not like that. He loves me with his heart. We have a terrific team here, that he heads up, and we’ve done some wonderful things. We’re all brothers here, helping one another. I love my family of friends here, and wouldn’t trade them for the world,” Dustin assured him.

“Well, that may be, but I take care of myself, and I certainly don’t need the support of a ‘brotherhood’ to be successful. I am who I am because of me and my hard work. There’s nothing wrong with my technical ability other than Tuck’s ability to see it. He’s already made up his mind he doesn’t like me. I guess he thinks I’m going to overshadow some of his favorites, like Chase, and therefore, he has it out for me,” Caleb stated. I shook my head.

“Believe it or not, Caleb, even Chase wants to like you, but you make if difficult for the rest of the team to like you lately. If Tuck wanted to get rid of you, he would have done it already. He’s doing his darndest to try to save you, only he thinks you could care less. He threw it in my lap to try to reach you somehow to see if you couldn’t be saved,” I explained.

“No, he threw me into your lap because he didn’t have the balls to talk to me directly, and say what he wanted to my face. He knows I’m good, but he doesn’t like the fact, I don’t put up with the shit his favorites want to give me,” Caleb replied.

“Caleb, that’s not fair. Tuck has always treated all his team members fairly, which is why he’s trying to salvage you now. Just let us in, and see if we can’t help you identify what’s keeping you from being your best and the rest of the team respecting you and encouraging you. That’s all Tuck’s trying to accomplish here. You won’t talk to him, so he was hoping you’d talk to me,” I said, trying to make him understand.

“Just tell me what I can do to get you to make him back off and give me a fair shot. Do I need to suck your cock or something? Would that make you happy, so you could tell him to back off?” he asked, rather harshly. I shook my head.

“You don’t get it, do you? We are giving up our own time to try to help you work out whatever problem you have that you don’t want to talk about, so that we can help you save your career and become a valued member of this championship basketball team, and you want to say something as disgusting as you just said. I’d say that was pretty selfish, if you ask me,” I replied.

“Hey, no one looks out for me, but me. I’m fine. I don’t have any fucking problems some gay guy thinks I might have. Although it’s way beneath me, I offered to give you a blow job if you get Tuck to back off. I don’t know what else to do here, as there’s nothing to discuss,” Caleb replied.

“Well, the only one I would consider a blow job from, was someone near and dear to me, so I could care less about your obscene offer, which literally offends me you even made it, but that’s just a demonstration, in my opinion, that you are now obviously disturbed about something, but you are totally unwilling to deal with it to help yourself. I guess if you don’t want to help yourself, there is nothing Dustin and I can do to help you, so we’re just wasting our time. I have better things to do, so good luck with Tuck, is all I can wish for you at this point,” I told him, then I got up and started to walk out.

“Wait, Josh. What do we tell Tuck?” Caleb asked, remembering that he was ordered by Tuck to talk to me.

“Tell him what you told me. You’re perfect, there’s nothing wrong with you and the rest of all of us are fucked up, because we can’t see that you’re perfect,” I suggested.

“Well, he’ll never believe that,” Caleb said, emphatically.

“Well, that’s what you just told us, so if that’s the truth, may the truth set you free,” I said, giving his shit right back to him.

“Seriously, we have to come up with something better than that,” Caleb was now starting to plead.

“You’re unwilling to deal with your problems, Caleb. Neither Dustin or I can help you if you don’t want to be helped. You’re wasting our time at the moment, and I’m not going to sit here with you and have you insult the team, Tuck, and most of all, me. You can go get fucked for all I care. You’re Tuck’s problem from here on out, not mine,” I assured him and left the office, shutting the door behind me. I met Terry and Jake back behind the bar. We weren’t that busy at the moment.

“Well, how’d it go?” Jake asked. I gave him a frown.

“He’s a narcissistic asshole, and he’s never going to change. That’s what I got out of it. When he got insulting, I told him to go fuck himself and left. He should be damned worried about what I might say to Tuck,” I told them.

“I take it, it didn’t go well. Nice body though. Might be kind of hot in the sack,” Jake chided. I gave him a frown.

“Well, he did offer to give me a blowjob if I’d put in a good word for him with Tuck,” I informed my two gymnasts. They laughed.

“And you didn’t take him up on it? As hot as he is? Gees, I can’t believe that, Terry. Can you?” Jake chided. I punched him in the arm, playfully, of course.

Terry and Jake could see that I was frustrated about the whole situation. Since I was going to see Tuck the tomorrow afternoon, he and I were going to have a discussion about ending this fiasco. I convinced myself, I would feel no guilt if this guy got thrown off the team at this juncture. I resolved myself to the fact, he was never going to change.

I drank a beer with Jake and Terry, as we filled drink orders from the servers. I hadn’t talked to Jeb for a while. I asked him what he was doing for Christmas. He said he was going home for a few days while we were closed, and taking Edgar with him. He said he’d be back the Saturday we reopened, but they might have to stay with us for the following week before school opened again, if that was okay with us. I smiled, and told him we might have to double up in beds to get everyone in, if everyone came back early. I told him it might be tight, but we might have a lot of fun. Jeb got excited, saying he and Edgar looked forward to it, actually. I liked his answer.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the office door open and Dustin and Caleb make their way towards me. The two had been in there for some time talking, about what, I had no idea, as I couldn’t imagine Dustin making much headway with Caleb, as entrenched as he was in his attitude.

“Josh, can we talk to you again for a minute?” Dustin asked, looking somewhat concerned.

“You can talk to me anytime, Dustin, but I don’t have anything else to say with Caleb, as stubborn as he is about trying to work with him,” I replied. Caleb looked really nervous.

“Caleb thinks he should apologize to you for talking to you the way he did,” Dustin said, with Caleb remaining silent the entire time.

“Does Caleb think he should apologize or is that what Dustin thinks Caleb should do?” I asked, knowing damn well Dustin knew he should, with Caleb preferring not to. Dustin looked to Caleb for him to say something.

“I, uh, I’m not sure how to say this, but I think I should apologize, as maybe I was a little too blunt and somewhat overreacted to your offer for help,” Caleb said, making an attempt at an apology, but not sounding quite like it should.

“You think, or you know? If you don’t know, then we’re no better off than when I left the room and told you good luck,” I replied, knowing I had the upper hand at this point.

“Okay, I know I should apologize. The thing is, and Dustin helped me realize this, that I need this opportunity in the worst way, Josh. I really do. I can’t afford to blow this, or I’ll never have another one again in my life. I get kicked off this team, and any thoughts I have towards a spot in the NBA are gone for good. I have to make this work,” Caleb replied, pleading somewhat at this point.

“So you have your sights set on making it into the NBA?” I asked. Caleb nodded, shyly. “This is a major goal of yours you want in the worst way?” I asked. Caleb nodded again, the same way.

“Then why aren’t you willing to cooperate with Dustin and me, and help us help you achieve that goal. If that’s what you want, Caleb, then Dustin and I want to help you achieve that goal. But, you have to help us help you, and so far, you’ve been totally unwilling to let that happen. Most guys would welcome the help of a friend to help them through their problems. You seem to resent the fact that anyone wants to help you,” I told him. Caleb just hung his head.

“I don’t really have a problem for you to help me with. Everyone seems to think I do, and they won’t give me a break with this. Everything is fine. I just need to get my groove back, that’s all. It’s no big deal. But, you and Tuck seem to think there’s a major problem, when there really isn’t,” Caleb replied, getting a little testy again. I shook my head in disbelief.

“Oh, but whether you want to admit it or not, Caleb, there is, and it’s really evident. Your recent behavior is totally different from when you first joined the team. Tuck told me that you were a different guy recently than when he accepted you on the team. He said, had you been acting like you have currently, you would have been cut in the first round, and there were several rounds of cuts. So, whether you want to admit it or not, there is a problem, and you denying it exists, only prolongs the problem and will surely get you thrown off the team,” I told him. Caleb hung his head then shook it.

“I can’t catch a break from anyone. It’s like a major conspiracy to fuck Caleb over, and I guess everyone is dead set on doing it,” Caleb replied, somewhat pissed.

“Now, you’re feeling sorry for yourself, because you can’t bring yourself to admit something is wrong and you need help to get through it. I’ll tell you one more time. Dustin is your friend, and I’d like to be, although you seem to be afraid of me for some reason, when you have no need to be whatsoever. I’m not your enemy. I don’t really have the time to try to help you, with as much attention that is needed to our company, but I told Tuck I would, not that I wanted to. Dustin thinks your worth saving, so, as much as I love my brother here, I will help, but I’m not going to waste my time on someone that doesn’t want to cooperate of let me help them. It’s not worth it. Do you understand?” I asked him, getting perturbed again myself. Caleb didn’t say anything for a few moments.

“Dustin says that if I go to practice tomorrow night, and we haven’t come to some kind of terms, I’m probably going to get kicked off, from what you told him. What’s the first thing we have to do for you to help me, if I agree to talk to you?” he asked. I suggested we go back to the office again, and not air his concerns to the whole bar, as we had several interested customers and employees at the moment in our semi-confrontational conversation.

We sat down at our small round conference table once again. “Let’s try this,” I started to say. “I’ll ask you some questions, and you give me some honest answers, as maybe you really don’t know what it is that’s causing a personality and performance change. Do you agree to answer my questions truthfully, because if you’re not going to, then we’re all wasting our time here,” I told him.

“I’ll try, unless I don’t want to answer certain questions, but then I’ll tell you I’d rather not answer that,” Caleb replied. I told him that was fair enough and a start, but if there were questions he’d rather not answer, I would assume that might have something to do with his mood changes, and we’d have to come back to them. While he wasn’t happy about that, he said he understood.

“Are your mother and father happily married, or are they having marital problems?” I asked. “In other words, are there any problems at home that worry you when you think about them?” I asked.

“My parents are divorced, but have been for a couple of years now, so I’m used to the split family concept, and I get along with both parents. They say they’re proud of me, and seem to show me they are,” Caleb replied. I asked him if there was anything that upset him about the divorce when it happened. He said he was happy when it finally happened, as the arguing stopped and there was finally some peace. He said he basically ignored the fighting when it happened, hoping they’d stop eventually, and go their separate ways. I asked him if he favored one parent over the other since the divorce. He said no, he loved them both the same. I asked him if anything changed in either or his parents’ relationships recently that weighed on his mind. He said not really. His dad had different girlfriends from time to time, but nothing permanent. His mother basically lived alone and worked, but didn’t date. He said neither one of them bothered him any, as nothing changed.

“You have any siblings that are having problems that worry you any? Are you really close with any of them, and their problems bother you, causing you worry about them?” I asked. Tell me about your siblings,” I asked.

“I have an older brother, about three years older than me. We used to be really close growing up. I idolized him some. He’s fine. He lives his own life, and we don’t hardly see or talk to each other, since he moved out of the house a couple years ago. He has a job and has his own life. I have a sister that’s still at home, living with my mother and is a junior in high school. She’s okay and nothing wrong with her. None of them have drug or dependency problems, if that’s what you’re going to ask me next,” he said, trying to stave off future questions in that area. I accepted that.

“Tell me about your older brother. If you idolized him, why have you not kept in contact, and seen him more often?” I asked. Caleb gave me an odd look, like why did I care.

“He graduated and left the house. He and my father never got along. They were always at each other. My mother protected him. She babied him too much, I think. I think my dad resented it, and they started having problems. He actually left home right after high school. My father said, ‘good riddins’, and he was gone. I heard he was in the City working over there somewhere. That’s all I know,” Caleb replied.

“Does it bother you that he left and maybe you feel, since you were so close and all, that he abandoned you and left you in a home where he wasn’t comfortable staying?” I asked. Caleb gave me a strange look.

“No, it doesn’t bother me. I was actually glad he left. In some ways, I have to agree with my father, when it comes to my brother. He was just weird and changed from what he used to be. Like I said, he needed to be gone. He’s happier, and the rest of us are happier now as a result,” Caleb replied.

“Was he into anything illegal, or anything like that?” I asked. Caleb was getting visibly disturbed again.

“No, it wasn’t anything like that. Buddy, wanted his own life, and Dad didn’t like what he wanted, so Buddy left, and that was that. It was a couple of years ago, and it doesn’t bother me. Like I said, life was better after he left. It hurt my mother, but I think she still talks to him occasionally. I could care less what he does these days. I’m focused on basketball, which is all I care about, and that even seems to be fucked up lately, causing me to have to answer your stupid questions. Can we move on?” he asked. I made a note, there was definitely something about his brother that may give him some concern. You aren’t that close to someone, they leave and you not feel a void, or you’re happy they’re gone and out of your life, I had to believe.

“Okay, what about your girlfriend, Judy? Any problems there?” I asked, although I kind of knew what was going on with Caleb and Judy from what Dustin told me.

“No problems with Judy, other than she likes to get fucked a lot. I don’t have any problems fucking her, if that’s what you want to know,” Caleb replied. “Dustin and I date BFF’s, who are like sisters, and they both like dick more than anything. They give us a workout over the weekend, but like any other guy my age, I like fucking girls, and am happy to oblige,” Caleb replied.

“So nothing knew on that front? No problem with keeping her happy and content. No distractions there?” I asked.

“Like I said, Josh, I like fucking girls, and Judy is more than willing to take my dick anytime I give it to her. No problems there at all. We enjoy each other and spending time with Dustin and Dannie. We don’t swap women, although we probably could. In fact, they might like that sometime, Dustin,” Caleb said smiling.

“I don’t think that would be wise to bring up, unless they bring it up first,” Dustin replied.

“Okay, so how about you and Dustin? You guys getting along okay. No differences that preclude you from being good friends?” I asked.

“I wouldn’t be here today if there were. We’re great buddies. Real man types that love pussy. We enjoy spending time fucking with and fucking our women together,” Caleb said, then looked to Dustin for his support.

“Yes, we’re very close friends, Josh,” Dustin offered. “We share a lot with one another.”

“So that’s good to know. How about grades and school? Any unusual pressures there? Any subjects that bother you somehow or threaten your eligibility status on the basketball team?” I asked.

“I’m doing well in all my classes. Not a chance in hell of jeopardizing my eligibility status. I’m good there,” Caleb replied.

“Dorm life and roommates? Any problems with dorm living that irritate you or bother you?” I asked.

“I’m not crazy about my roommate, but he certainly doesn’t cause me any problems or make me lose any sleep. He’s just kind of inconsiderate at times. He likes to go to bed early and gets pissed at me if I stay up late, but he usually falls asleep pretty quick, so it’s not a problem. We’re not close friends, but we tolerate each other. Nothing has changed there since the year started,” Caleb answered.

“Interesting point you bring up, Caleb. What, if anything, has changed since the beginning of the school year? That could point us in a direction we might need to analyze. At the beginning of the school year, you were doing great on the basketball team. Tuck said you were sharp with your maneuvers, speed, accuracy, teamwork and seemed to get along well with your teammates. Lately, all that seems to have become a problem for you. You’re quick to be irritated, you don’t show good sportsmanship, you’re quick to judge others, pointing to them for your mistakes and overall, your mind isn’t in the game. So, what if anything happened that changed how you started out the year?” I asked, thinking that was a logical question to ask. Caleb seemed stumped, like he had to really think about how to answer. “Just say the first thing that comes to your mind, whether it’s right or wrong,” I urged. He shook his head, like he was thinking. Dustin and I knew the answer, but we were waiting for him to say something. He just stared into space. “Caleb, you seem to be thinking about something, so there must be something there that made you think,” I suggested. He shook his head.

“I can’t think of anything. There isn’t anything that’s changed, that I can think of,” he offered.

“Usually, when there’s a major change in personality or attitude, it’s triggered by an event of some sort or evolving events that alter a person’s life or attitude somehow. Has there been anything at all, you can think of, that caused any of your unhappiness lately?” I asked, trying to lead him to his own conclusion, that he and Dustin were having heavy sex with one another, and he was in denial that it was real. I had to believe this might be the defining point.

“No, not that I can think of,” Caleb said calmly, obviously lying to me. He looked over at Dustin, as if to say, if you tell, I’ll kill you. It didn’t matter. I already knew the answer to my question. I was just trying to lead him to the conclusion we all knew to be true, but he wasn’t budging.

“Caleb, something had to have changed. Whatever it is, we can deal with it and help you through it. There’s no shame in asking for help to understand your feelings. Get it out and in the open, so we can deal with it. The truth can set you free. Neither Dustin or I will judge you. No one else has to know anything about whatever it is. There is no embarrassment here you have to worry about,” I assured him.

“There’s nothing to talk about, Josh. I already told you. Nothing has changed. And while we’re on the subject, I don’t really think I’ve changed that much. Tuck seems to have changed, and has it in for me for some reason. I thought it might have something to do with you, Josh, pushing Chase on Tuck as the outstanding player of all times. He’s not that great. There’s a lot more of us on the team that are just as good and a lot better than your boy Chase. Maybe you might be the problem and that’s bleeding over to Tuck and fucking up his mind,” Caleb replied, starting to get irritated again.

“Caleb, I don’t tout any one player on the team over the other. I honestly believe it takes everyone on that team, you included, to make it all work. You’ve flat out been rude and inconsiderate to other players on the team. That came from you. You brought that attention to yourself by verbally abusing your teammates, even at times when they were trying to be supportive of you. I don’t understand that behavior and neither does Tuck. You weren’t that way before. The rest of the team hasn’t changed, Caleb, but you have. We’re trying to get to the bottom of what it is that made you change,” I told a seemingly irritated person, who couldn’t seem to convince me he was perfect, and the rest of the world was fucked.

“Okay, so I let off a little steam once in a while when things don’t go the way I think they should. There’s nothing unusual about that. What do you suggest I do, take an anger management course?” Caleb asked, noticeably irritated, almost angry.

“I suggest you fess up to what’s bothering you, and we deal with it. That’s what I suggest. So far, you’re unwilling to do that, so we really haven’t solved anything. You’re definitely holding back something you deem too painful to handle, and yet, you won’t let that pain out so we can help heal you,” I replied. Now he was angry, but he took deep breaths.

“You’re not a psychologist, Josh. You aren’t trained to do what you’re trying to do, so don’t judge me like you said you wouldn’t. All I need to know is what do I need to do, to get back in the good graces of Tuck. That’s what I really need to know,” Caleb replied. He wasn’t giving in, he was digging in. Further conversation in the area of trying to help him was senseless at this point, as he definitely wasn’t cooperating, and showed no signs of changing.

“You need to hone up your technical skills for one thing. Sharpen up your shooting. Then, more than anything else, you need to show respect for your teammates. Be supportive of each of them and treat them like real teammates, not acting like the superstar you think you are, and treating them as if they don’t support you, because they do,” I told him. He looked like I just insulted him, but before he said something that might not sound right and get him in trouble, he stopped short, and took deep breaths.

“Okay, I’ll do what you ask me to do. I swear, Josh, you guys are making something big out of nothing. But, I’ll be a good little boy, play your little game, and try to make nice with the rest of the guys. Good grief, it’s like you have to coddle all these grown men that ought to be able to take a little criticism and deal with it,” Caleb said.

“Doesn’t sound like you understood what I just told you, Caleb. With an attitude like that, you might as well just call Tuck and tell him you quit,” I told him.

“Oh, you’d like that wouldn’t you?” he said visibly becoming angry. “No, that prick will have to kick me off, but I’m not going to give him a reason to be able to do that. I can play the game as well as any of you guys,” Caleb replied. I shook my head.

“Again, with an attitude like that, I don’t see you getting through tomorrow night and staying on the team, but you go ahead, and do it your way, when you could have come clean and talked to Dustin and me tonight, and we might have made some progress. You know better than anyone else, so do it your way, and we’ll see how far you get. I’m done with you at this point, as all I see is someone that’s hell bent to be self-destructive, and far be it for me to stand in your way. You go right ahead and screw it all up for yourself,” I told him in no uncertain terms.

“So are you going to sabotage me with Tuck, and tell him I’m hopeless, and he needs to kick me off the team?” Caleb asked, rather snarky. I shook my head in disbelief.

“No, I’m not telling him anything other than we talked, and you answered a lot of questions but we didn’t arrive at any answers. I have a feeling, I don’t need to tell him anything else, as you’re going to take care of answering the question for Tuck as to whether he needs to keep you or kick your ass off the team. I won’t have to say anything, but Tuck will be able to see it for himself. You think we’re all stupid, Caleb, and you are the end all, be all, but you’re dead wrong, my friend. You’re on an island and the are fighting the ones that could help rescue you, by being stubborn and uncooperative. Good luck with that. I’m done with you. Dustin, I think I’d pick better friends in the future if I were you,” I commented.

“I’m starting to wonder about it myself,” Dustin told him. “Caleb, you’re not helping yourself at all here. Josh is the most wonderful guy one could ever hope to befriend, and he’s giving up his own time trying to help you, and you’re being totally disrespectful. If you’re going to be that kind of person, we don’t need to be friends anymore. And for the record, not to dump on you further or anything, but to point out how strange you’ve become lately, Judy is thinking about breaking up with you. She says she doesn’t know you anymore. You’ve become strange to her. I wasn’t supposed to tell you that, and don’t go telling her I ratted her out, but that’s how serious this thing is. You need to understand what you’ve created, when all Josh and I are trying to do is be good friends and help you. Like Josh said, you seem self-destructive and, frankly, I don’t want to be standing beside you when you self-destruct. I want to remember the old Caleb that I cared a lot about as my friend, before he got so strange, I don’t know him anymore,” Dustin said, emphatically. I was so very proud of Dustin, I wanted to hug him.

“Well, I guess I’m just wasting my time with both of you losers then,” Caleb said, then got up to leave. He turned around before he walked out the door and said, “I will give you guys what you want, be supportive and congenial with the team and I will prove myself as a champion basketball player, but I won’t sit around and help you guys psychoanalyze me to get your shits and giggles from my so called ineptness.” He then left and closed the door.

“He’s toast,” I told Dustin. Dustin agreed.

“Josh, you sincerely tried to help him and gave him ample opportunity to tell you and me what he could have, for us to try to help him. You went way above and beyond to help him. He basically told us both to get fucked. He’s his own worst enemy now. Truthfully, I think you’re right. He won’t make it past practice tomorrow night,” Dustin surmised. I had to agree wholeheartedly.

“Hey, Dust, you did good. I’m so proud of you. You really tried to help, but he just wasn’t having it. You can’t say you didn’t give it everything you had to try to help him. You did better than most people, even trained individuals in psychology, trying to help him. He’s a narcissist through and through, and they don’t see their own flaws, but they know how to project their flaws to others and, therefore, have none of their own,” I replied. Dustin shook his head.

“I feel sad, Josh. I really feel sad for the guy, as he wasn’t always like that. There were times when I saw and felt genuine love from him, something now that makes me wonder how that was even possible. Still, I saw it before, and, as you know, was somewhat captivated from it,” Dustin said, sadly.

We got up to leave. I hugged him tightly, and told him again how proud I was of him, and how much I loved him. He said he wanted someone as loving as me to fall in love with, definitely not Caleb, as he was done being his friend, even if that meant he had to dump Dannie. He wasn’t going to be part of anything that had to do with Caleb. I told him, Caleb might re-think tonigh,t and apologize to him tomorrow, once he had time for things to sink in. Surely, some of the things we gave him to think about might help change his mind in ways. Dustin wasn’t sure, but didn’t give it much hope.

“Do you need help tending bar tonight?” Dustin asked. I kind of smiled, as I hugged him again.

“No, why do you have something you need to do?” I asked, still holding him.

“Yeh. I need to go find Chase and fuck the hell out of him, make him feel loved, before I lose him to the likes of Zach and Brady for good, because I think I love a narcissist,” he said with a slight giggle.

“I can’t think of a better, more enjoyable, thing to do,” I told him, then patted him on his ass. We left the office and he disappeared upstairs.

I got back to Terry and Jake behind the bar. “Well, did it get any better?” Jake asked.

“Not really. I think Dustin and I know the problem, as he got real touchy and macho protective about his relationship with Dustin, saying how they were red blooded breeders, in so many words, and there was nothing funny about their straightness. We all know that was bullshit. He won’t budge, and he won’t allow us to help him. Another area that bugged him was, he had a brother a few years older than him, that he idolized. The brother got at odds with his father, causing friction between his mother and father. The brother left home and lives and works in the City now. Caleb cut off all communication with him, and said it was good he left home. He said he could care less about him now. Something happened there that changed Caleb’s mind about his brother that he idolized. I’d love to know more about what happened there. Although he did say that was a couple of years ago. That wasn’t the single reason he’s having trouble now. I have to believe he’s confused about his feelings for Dustin. I think that has to do with his attitude towards his girlfriend, who he’s having trouble with also. I swear you could torture the boy, and you’d never get that out of him, though. I think he’d take that to his grave,” I told them. Terry and Jake, both, seemed to think that might be the key to his unrest and unhappiness. He felt good having a physical relationship with Dustin, and it was becoming more serious, to the point, Caleb was in denial that it was real.

Everything was going smooth at the bar, so Terry, Jake and I went upstairs to do some studying. Dylan was in the living room. “I thought you might be in bed by now,” I said to Dylan. Dylan rolled his eyes.

“Lover boy is in the bedroom fucking Chase. I thought I’d give them a little privacy. Seemed like they both needed a good fucking,” Dylan replied, with a big smile. I had to hug him.

“You are a very thoughtful roomy,” I told him.

“Yeh, well don’t spread that around, as the others might misinterpret the word ‘thoughtful’ and think I helped Dustin out sexually,” Dylan replied, to my smile. I hugged him again.

“Hey, are we really going to your parents’ farm for Christmas?” Dylan asked. I told him we were for a couple of days. “I’ve never been on a farm before. Do you have cows and pigs there?” he asked. I told him we did, and I’d be happy to have him help me feed them when he was there. That seemed to intrigue him some. “They don’t bite, do they?” Dylan asked. I had to explain to him they didn’t bite, unless they felt threatened to the point you might take their life. They mainly just ignored you, thinking you were going to feed them, which was okay with them. I told him he could have the honors of jacking off the bull and getting his semen. “What the fuck, Josh. Can I charge him for that?” Dylan chided. I rolled my eyes. Jake and Terry laughed.

“Uh, I kind of think you retired from charging for sex, Dylan. No, but we sell his cum and get decent money for that,” I informed him. Dylan thought that was crazy. He said he wished he could sell his. I told him some guys did that. I reminded him our dancers did just that on Saturday nights, when the spooged all over thongs and sold them to our customers. I told him he could dance on Saturday nights and do the same, if he wanted to.

“I think more of my cum than to sell it just to anyone,” Dylan replied. “I think I’ll save it for those that I care about.” I liked that thought, and gave him a hug. “Tell me this, Josh, did you and your buddies that used to fuck around, ever fuck any of the livestock?” Dylan asked. I was almost shocked.

“No, we never did that, thank goodness. Luckily, we fucked each other and left the animals alone. Why would you ever want to do that anyway?” I asked.

“Well, some of the guys I got paid to fuck could be classified as animals. Sounds like your animals might have been nicer,” he chided. Jake, Terry and I cracked up.

I let Terry use my desk in our bedroom to study, and I set up my laptop on the kitchen island. I got Dylan and me some ice tea. He played video games on the big screen with earphones on, and I studied. I sent Tim a text, asking him if everything was okay. I got a text back from him a few minutes later, saying he was good. He spent some time with Taylor tonight, going over what his duties as VP would be, when he got appointed. He said he wasn’t looking forward to Harvey finding out, as Harvey was likely to make his life pure hell when that announcement came out. There were guys already speculating on who was going to be the new VP when the other guy left school. Tim said some thought it might be Harvey and weren’t happy about it, but they knew how bad Harvey wanted to be president next year when Taylor graduated. I asked him if Harvey said anything about the speculation of who was going to be the appointed VP. He said Harvey hadn’t said much, but he did mention one time that he hoped Taylor would come to his senses and appoint him. Tim texted that he was sure Harvey would be pissed when this took place. I told Tim I missed him tonight. He said he really missed us, but would try to go to basketball practice with us tomorrow night to show support for the team. I told him there was likely to be fireworks there, so it might be interesting. Tim thought that might be cool. I told him I didn’t think so, but would explain later. I texted ‘ILY’ at the end and got the same back.

“Hey, Josh, if you, Zach and I go to the farm for Christmas, what are the sleeping arrangements?” he asked me. I had to stop and think about how to answer that one.

“Uh, well, we can all sleep in my bed in my private bedroom above the garage with my own bathroom, or you can sleep in the guest room downstairs next to my parents’ room if you’d be more comfortable there,” I offered. Dylan gave me a frown.

“I want to sleep with you, crazy. Does that mean I might have to have sex with Zach?” he asked, somewhat curious, but somewhat concerned. I smiled at him.

“Absolutely, who wouldn’t want to have sex with Zach. You okay with that?” I asked, excitedly, trying to get him excited about the idea.

“Hell yes. He’s hot as hell. Can he keep it to himself, though?” Dylan asked.

“If it means Zach can have sex with you, Dylan, I’m sure he’d keep a lid on it,” I replied. Dylan smiled.

“Might be the most fun I’ve had at Christmas yet,” Dylan replied.

“I’ve got to warn you, though. Mom is going to try to fatten you up with homemade pies, candies and a ton of great farm cooking. You’ll put on a few pounds for sure. That skinny ass of yours just might get a little meatier with all that home cooking,” I warned.

“That’s okay, we can work it out at night in your bed, over the garage with your private bathroom, fucking Zach and Zach fucking us. I can see it already. Looking forward to it,” he said, then put his earphones back on and went back to playing his game.

I studied a little more, then Terry and Jake came out of the bedroom. Terry said he was heading home. “What, you aren’t sleeping with us tonight?” I asked him. He smiled.

“Hey, I don’t want to wear out my welcome, guys. You guys need some alone time yourselves, plus I need some rest tonight, after you worked my ass over last night,” Terry chided. “I’ll help Jake tomorrow night at the bar, when you guys go to basketball practice,” Terry offered. I told him how much I really appreciated that, and I knew Jake enjoyed it also. Terry said he was more than happy to help out, as he felt like he was part of a family, hanging with us. I told him he was absolutely part of our family these days. He told us hearing that, made him feel wonderful. I got a big hug and kiss from him, as did Jake.

“Where’s my hug and kiss?” Dylan asked. Terry looked at him and smiled, then went over, and hugged and kissed Dylan, just like he had Jake and me. Dylan smiled. “I like this one, guys. He’s hot too,” Dylan commented. “I think I got a little stiff kissing this one,” Dylan said, rubbing his dick through his boxer shorts.

“Look out, Terry. He’s got the hots for you now,” I warned. Terry smiled.

“And, what’s wrong with that?” Terry asked, teasingly. Dylan grabbed and hugged him one more time, then let him go. He put his headphones back on and turned his attention back to his video game. Terry, Jake and I looked at one anther and shrugged our shoulders.

Terry finally left. Jake and I were ready to go to bed. “Dylan, you want to sleep with us tonight?” I asked. “Chase is still in there with Dustin, I guess.” Dylan looked at me, with a smile.

“As much as I’d love to get fucked by you guys tonight, it’s way past my bedtime. Those dufuses are asleep, I bet you,” he replied, then got up to do check on them. He came back a few minutes later with a smile. “Yep, they’re asleep, buck naked with cum all over them. That Dustin can really cum when he unloads. His cum is more watery than Chase’s. Chase’s cum is creamier than Dustin’s. You can really tell the difference in the density and consistency of their semen. There’s a difference in taste also. Both of their cum taste good,” he informed us. “You guys want to taste it, there’s plenty of it on their naked bodies. Still some seeping out of Dustin’s cock. It’s still fresh,” Dylan informed us.

“Seriously?” I asked, surprised at what he was telling us. Dylan smiled, then smacked his lips.

“Did you ever taste your bull’s cum, Josh?” Dylan asked out of the clear blue. I chuckled.

“You know, out of all the crazy shit we did as kids growing up on the farm, and as many times as we jacked off the bull, I can’t remember every tasting his jism. Don’t know how we kept from it, but I don’t believe that ever happened,” I told him. Dylan looked disappointed.

“We could always do it at Christmas,” he chided. I told him he was welcome to it, but I thought I’d pass. They he told me he was just fucking with me. I told him I believed he was, and was grateful that was all it was.

Dylan kissed Jake and me goodnight, feeling our cocks and balls through our briefs, as he kissed us passionately, taking our breaths away. “You sure you don’t want to sleep with us?” I asked. “We could give you some even fresher cum for you to taste. He told us not to tempt him, but he needed his sleep tonight. I patted his hot little ass, as he headed for bed, making him turn around and smile, but telling us he loved us as he went.

Jake and I finally stripped naked and fell into bed. He had his arms around me, cuddling. “You know, I really would love to go to the farm with you guys instead of home for Christmas,” Jake told me. “I really want to spend that time with you and not with my family,” he added, as pulled me tightly to him to kiss me.

“I’m going to miss you terribly also, Jake. But your family would be totally disappointed if you didn’t spend Christmas with them. I’d go with you home for Christmas, but your mother would make us sleep in separate rooms anyway. It’ll only be two nights, then we’ll be back here again. Plus, I’m sure you’ll get together with Luke and have some fun with him. He’d really be disappointed if you didn’t come home for Christmas,” I assured him. Jake said I was right, but he was really going to miss me. I told him likewise, but I was going to check with Tom and James about getting away for a couple of days to Key West, if they could spare the time. I told Jake we could spend a couple of days naked in the sun at our resort in Key West and enjoy some time there. He thought that would be a great idea.

This Monday had been one of the craziest. We were both beat, but Jake wanted to know more about my conversation with Caleb. I told him some of the details, but told him, honestly, it wore me out to think about it anymore. Jake said he could certainly understand why. Then he asked if we cared too much about our friends. I told him I didn’t think we could care enough. He soon agreed. Then we kissed and cuddled some more, then fell asleep.

 
Hi FT and all. Just felt the need to check in and let you know I’m still engrossed in the story big time. Just finished chapter 332, a chapter so full of relationship issues, as others commented, and really hot sex.

No point speculating what might happen coming up, since I’m still so far behind in the story, but I keep wanting to comment anyway. Stoney’s passing was sad and moving. I did guess that he’d been having cancer treatment, from the clues you’d given us. There didn’t seem to be any other explanation for his absence and silence that fit. But, I actually expected that when the boys went to Key West, Stoney would be in remission and come back with them. I was wrong on that count, so his death was really a shock. You wrote it all so well.

Such a cast of wonderful characters. Dylan is a nice challenge, who seems like a good kid who never had a break, and will blossom in due course with Josh’s support, even if there are some setbacks along the way. Low self-esteem isn’t easy for anyone to overcome. I was happy about the resolution of Dawson’s problems, and I’m enjoying the emerging challenges of Terry, Jim and Ross, and their relationships. Though Ross isn’t someone I’d personally be drawn to, I do appreciate his dilemma in wrestling with the challenges of being gay in a world that expects him to be straight. I’m looking forward to how that develops.

The growth of the business I find really exciting. I can see Buzz’s office building getting built and becoming the Head Office of the organisation, probably shortly after the time our sophomores graduate. (There I am speculating, even though I said I wouldn’t…) I like that you introduced Allen’s father as an investment consultant, and I hope that will help bring him and Allen closer over time, bonding through business! Allen seems keen to come out to his parents, and you seem to have laid out a path for that to happen without too much drama. Perhaps he can advise on how best to finance the next Citation, as well as the new Head Office building, of course.

Allen and OBB remain some of my favourite characters, albeit somewhat on the sidelines of the story at the moment, though they’re right in there helping run things. They’re such cute little dynamos, like two peas in a pod, as someone else commented, with such energy and always doing things together. I still have a sweet spot for Erin, and I was a little disappointed when you sent him to Ft Lauderdale, but I’m glad he’s having a great and busy life with Jason, helping to run the Tight Jock and still going to uni. Hopefully he’ll play a bigger role in the story sometime in the future. Maybe the company will see an opportunity to build a large luxury gay resort somewhere in Florida, that could somehow involve Erin and Jason, as well as Greer in a legal capacity.

And I especially like the intimate moments Josh and Jake have together, and the things they say to each other. They’re the best!

I need to stop rambling now. Anyway, love all the guys and look forward to more great chapters, and eventually catching up fully!

Another amazing chapter from OUR favorite group of Bent Boys. Dylan is ready for Christmas at the farm. I can already see Josh telling Dylan to jack off the bull and collect the semen in a jar. I can also see Josh daring Dylan to taste the bull semen too! I don't think Zach will give Dylan's secret away once Zach has experienced his love making skills for himself. Keeping his secret from Brady will be tough but I think Zach will keep his word. He surprised Jake & Josh that he could tell the difference between Chase & Dustin just by their cum. I don't recall Chase & Dylan ever being alone together to know how his cum tasted unless he had a taste test when Chase & Dustin fell asleep in their room. Since Thanksgiving Dylan is showing people his love more often. He asked for and got a hug and kiss from Terry twice.

Caleb knows he has a problem but won't tell Josh what it is though Josh already knows what his problem is but Caleb doesn't know that bit of info.Though Caleb didn't tell Josh this but I will go out on a limb and say his brother is gay too and doesn't want his father to talk to him like he does his brother. I don't see Josh cracking the wall around Caleb as he did with Alan and Dylan. Caleb's walls are thick and Josh doesn't have enough time to make any cracks unless a miracle occurs to save Caleb and his basketball career.

As always FT thank you for all of the time you spend writing OUR little group of Bent Boys favorite story about Bent Boys.

Brian

P.S.
Wanted to say Hello again to HF he is almost caught up and loved reading what he thought of the story through his set of fresh eyes and giving us a reason to read it again to see what we missed the first time.
 
Thank You, HF, bud, for continuing to comment as you experience "Josh World", and remind us of just how awesome this story is. Pretty soon you'll be just as bent as the rest of us! \:/ (group)

Great summation Brian, bro! You've got some interesting perspectives that I hadn't thought of. ..|

Caleb is one stubborn, defensive, S.O.B.! It's going to be a miracle if he sees the light in time! Josh and Dustin can only do as much as they can do. Caleb's future is entirely in his own hands, now. And, yeah, I agree with Brian. There's definitely something going on with Caleb's older brother ...

You're getting sneakier with your cliff hangers, FT. You just left that there to ferment when you had Caleb walk out. (Love it! [And, if anybody asks, I never said that.])

Dylan's turning out to be even more of a devious, crazy, funny, adorable, cutie. What a sense of humor! Can't wait for our farm boys to introduce the city kid to country life. Just more reasons to be looking forward to Christmas! This is gonna be a Blast in so many different ways! I can barely imagine, which is why we need you all the more, FT!

SO, the biggest question currently hanging in the air is what's gonna happen with Caleb. I have no doubts that's going to be more than interesting, too.

Bend On!! :gogirl: (*8*) :kiss:
Chaz :luv:

P.S.
When I was talking about the cars earlier, I was mainly going for the name BENT-ley, as opposed to "just" Benz. I have to admit I'd prefer a Bentley over a Benz any day, though. :lol:

Brian and Chaz perfectly framed Caleb. I was torn while reading between trying to save him or making him go fuck himself. It's hard to be helpful with someone so stubborn. There's something with his brother and more probably with a reaction from their father towards the brother that made him how messed up as he is now.

Completely changing topic, I think Dylan's got something like an early present from a naughty Santa Claus :lol: cos it will be hot hot hooot in those rooms above the garage in Josh's farm. That's something I long to read.

As usual, great work FT. Keep it coming/cumming ..|
 
I too, love all the comments from Sweet Brian, Chaz and Thanatos. I actually believe, like Sweet Brian, that Caleb's older brother is possibly gay and that's what got him shunned by his father. It's also the possible reason for the marriage between Caleb's mother and father breaking up. Caleb mentioned that his mother still kept in contact with is older brother, but he didn't and his father had nothing to do with him any more. I get the feeling that Caleb believes he is gay also, with all that he likes doing with Dustin, but he's scared shitless he'll be like his brother and he saw what pain that brought his family when that happened. If this is true, you've really worked that in rather masterfully. We still have to wait and see, but i think that you may have planted a seed there for us to discover or think about later. Cant' wait to see what happens here, as it's so bizarre, his stubbornness. Josh is usually a good judge of character and finds ways to reach others, but he's at his wits end on this guy.

Love what everyone things about Dylan. He becomes more loved by the day, He has so much personality, very dry humor. I wonder if he'll ever fall in love with someone he feels comfortable with. I also think the time at the farm will be extremely interesting with Dylan at Christmas.

So much going on, FT, and all of it is fascinating and keeps us glued to this story.

Like the explanation of the BENT-ly, Chaz. I didn't get it at first, but now I do. Cute. We know how you love your Lincoln though, but a Bentley beats all, no question.

Keep it up, FT. We need this story to lose ourselves in during these strange times. Love it all and love you for writing it to keep us entertained. BC
 
Sorry for my second comment, but I was just checking to see if FT had dropped another chapter on us yet and re-read some of the comments, realizing I forgot to comment on HF's comments, not used to seeing him comment that often. Sorry about that, HF, but it is refreshing to hear your feelings as you lag somewhat behind us, telling us how you feel about what all is happening and what it all means to you at the stage of the story you presently are. It's a chance to see where we came from and remember certain meaningful events, that touched us in some way or had meaning to where we all are now. There are some characters, I believe you haven't met yet, but you will enjoy and understand more as you meet them. It's fun hearing from you and where you are in this fantastic saga. As Chaz says, you're well on your way to being bent like the rest of us, but it's all worth it, believe me. I hope you will continue to contribute and enlighten us with what you feel so far in this great story. Bless you for hanging in there, but you're right, in that you don't have to wait for the next chapter. You can binge read like no other, which makes me envious in a way. Hang in there, buddy. When you arrive with the rest of us, we will officially anoint you as BENT, just like the rest of us. Now I must get the heck out of here, so hopefully FT will soon post another chapter for us to salivate over. It's like hurrying to bed so Santa Claus will soon come. BC
