Chapter 489 – Dennis Apologizes and Banking Strategy Emerges
Although we were, at times, a distraction to one another, as we studied around the kitchen island, I always enjoyed being with the guys. We were like family. Dustin, Blake and I settled in with Ethan and Tim, who were already working on their subjects. We got some ice tea before opening up our laptops and getting down to business. Tim and Ethan took a break while we did. They wanted to know about basketball practice, and if anything crazy took place. I told them the team was really shaping up, and it looked like we were going to have an even more solid team next year, if everyone stayed healthy. They asked about Dave, and if we were able to get any further insight into his story. I told them I hadn’t heard anything one way or another, expecting Caleb and Chase to finally determine his gender preference sooner or later. Then Dustin said he had something to ask me about.
“Josh, what would you think about me moving into the house, which would free up an extra bed for you guys here or give Dylan more privacy, in case he wants to bed the UPS guy sometime?” Dustin asked. My heart kind of sank.
“Where would you stay at the house if you moved over there?” I asked, curiously, trying to determine where he was coming from.
“Well, Caleb and Chase asked me to bunk with them. I know it’s kind of weird, but the three of us really have a fantastic time together, and I think it would be great to spend more time with them. We all really care about one another,” he explained.
“Is it something you want to do, or feel like you need to do?” I asked.
“I’ll miss you guys something terribly, especially having you and Jake right across the hall for easy access, but I figured I can come here to study at night like Ethan does. In fact, he and I can come together, then go back together. That way, I can still spend time with you guys here, and sleep over there. I spend the whole weekends there now, so it wouldn’t be much of a difference,” he replied.
”If it’s something you willingly want to do, I have no problem with it, other than I’ll miss you. But if you’re here to study, unless you’re sleeping with Jake and me, I don’t see much difference, I guess. Are Caleb and Chase okay with this?” I asked.
“They asked me to move in with them. They said we all loved one another, and it was a shame not to spend more nights together. Besides, if we get in each other’s way, I can always bunk with Ethan for the night. I’m sure he’d love to have me in his arms, and whatever for a night or two a week,” Dustin chided. Ethan gave him a disturbed look.
“Hey, don’t go figuring you’re going to slip into bed with me at night. Not going to happen,” Ethan warned him. Dustin chuckled.
“Why, it wouldn’t be all bad. I could cuddle with you, keep you warm, and you could fuck my ass and make us both happy,” Dustin chided. Ethan shook his head at him.
“Josh, tell him he can’t do that,” Ethan begged, very concerned. I chuckled.
“He’s giving you shit, Ethan. No one has to do anything sexually they don’t want to do. Those are the rules, and we respect one another’s boundaries, not that any of us have many of them,” I went on to say, getting a chuckle out of the rest of them.
“Well, I do have boundaries when it comes to sex,” Ethan reminded us. Dustin chuckled. Ethan was still sitting at the island on a stool, while Dustin was standing up. Dustin went over to Ethan and started massaging his bare shoulders. Ethan loved having his shoulders massaged.
“I could massage your shoulders for you, Eth. Make you feel wonderful all over,” Dustin told him in a very provocative tone of voice. Ethan was half lost in having his shoulders massaged.
”Well, that I could handle for sure,” he said, his eyes closed, his head leaning forward, enjoying Dustin’s magical massaging touch. I was counting the seconds to see how long this intimate attention was going to last before Dustin did something else to upset Ethan. It didn’t take long, as I supposed it wouldn’t. Dustin leaned down and started gently kissing Ethan’s neck. “Dustin, stop. You know that gets me excited,” Ethan protested. Dustin kept it up. “Stop, Dustin, you’re giving me a boner,” Ethan told him again, then wiggled out of what Dustin was doing. Dustin gently groped Ethan’s junk to see if he had a boner. He did, which Dustin announced to all of us, embarrassing Ethan. “Now see, that’s why we have problems between us. You don’t respect my boundaries,” Ethan told him.
“Your dick says you’re having a great time. It’s your mind that says you can’t handle being cared for by someone that really cares about you. You know you could stick that hard beautiful cock of yours inside my ass, and make us both happy,” Dustin replied. Ethan shook his head.
“I’m not so sure you living at the house is such a good idea, unless you can give me my space and respect my wishes not to be molested by you,” Ethan told Dustin. Dustin looked sad.
“Okay by me, but you’re missing the opportunity of a lifetime keeping me shut out like you are. But, that’s okay, as I get enough action from Caleb and Chase, and all the rest of my friends here. It’s sad you can’t feel the love physically that we all enjoy and cherish,” Dustin told him.
“Dustin, I love you. I really do love you. But, I can’t handle the physical attention you seem to need to go with that love. I’ll hug you, and, hell, maybe even kiss you from time to time, but I can’t have sex with you. I just can’t,” Ethan told him, then held out his arms for Dustin to give him a hug. The two hugged tightly then, Ethan actually kissed him quickly on the lips. Dustin went back for a second kiss, one that lasted a bit longer. Ethan made it through both of them. “Now, can I get back to studying?” Ethan asked. Dustin smiled.
“You do love me more than you let on, you know,” Dustin chided. Ethan gave him a nervous smile. “That’s okay. I’ll always be there for you, Ethan,” Dustin added. It was as if Ethan was trying to keep back the tears, getting a little emotional when Dustin said what he did.
“So when is this move going to take place, and have you told Dylan about it?” I asked. Dustin smiled.
“I mentioned it to Dylan. He seemed cool with it, but told me I had to come over occasionally for a booty call. And, he said he was going to rip up my ass the night before I moved. Kind of looking forward to that happening. We all know the boy is damned good at ripping up an ass. In fact, he’s one of the best,” Dustin proclaimed. He got no argument from any of us on that.
Thinking about it, I was kind of sad to think Dustin would be going to the house, but if he were to be here almost every night to study with us, and take part in other activities, I guess it’d be okay. He seemed excited to be sleeping with Caleb and Chase, the two he enjoyed spending most of his time, and definitely sharing sex with on the weekends. I could see that working out okay. Ethan seemed to be concerned Dustin might give him grief, but that was just Ethan. Having Chase and Caleb to keep Dustin busy might relieve some of the sexual tension that built up from time to time with those two, like it had tonight. Who knew?
Wednesday seemed to fly by. Micro econ went quickly, then our meeting at the SU for coffee with our new BMF, Rod, went by way too fast. He informed us they knocked down more of the kitchen cabinets. The drywall had been delivered, and stacked in a pile in the living room. There were buckets of plaster (mud, as Todd referred to it) and seam tape there with the drywall. Rod said there were drywall knives there also along with a couple of mud pans. He said he hoped Todd would show them what to do with them, as they didn’t have a clue. Rod said there was a machine with a crank on it also for hoisting drywall up to the ceiling. Dylan had dropped that off sometime while they were gone. And, he said there were some kind of stilts that you supposedly wore to mud the ceilings. I had seen those before, but never used them. I told him, it would make him look very tall when he wore those. He thought he’d wear them the next time he saw Mary Ann, to impress her with his height.
“You ready to dance tonight?” I asked him. He smiled.
“Yep, ready to shake my average willie tonight for the ladies. I might see if I get any decent offerings tonight. Been awhile since I dipped my dick in pussy juice, although the last time was not too swift. I may have to rethink that,” Rod replied. Trevor told Rod, that dipping his dick in boy ass was a lot more fun. “Don’t temp me,” Rod replied.
“The last few pussies I’ve fucked caused me all sorts of problems. Guys are a hell of a lot easier to deal with.” Trevor told him that was so true.
Em was all excited when she saw us in Marketing. “Guys, I talked to my design professor about your offer to have us work on the dorm suites. She was absolutely ecstatic over having something tangible to work on. She couldn’t be happier. We’re going to need Buzz in the very near future to present the project the way he presented it to this class. This is going to be fantastic. My prof is putting together the game plan to attack this project, to use it as a learning process. It’s going to be great. This is just the greatest opportunity,” Em said, hardly able to contain herself.
“Hey, if you pull this off, like I know you will, there will be a plaque in the lobby with the architect, construction company, subs and now the room designers on it, to signify who put the original building together. I guess we’ll have to put the class year of the Uni design department on there, with maybe special mention of a few of the leadership of who pioneered the project, kind of like the corner stone, so to speak. We might want to put a time capsule in there somewhere also, so in fifty years it can be opened to see what things were like back in our youth,” I teased. Mary Ann grabbed me, hugged me and kissed me, she was so excited.
“A building that has my name on the corner stone as one of the interior designers? Wow, I couldn’t be more excited,” she said.
“Actually, Rod suggested that to me, telling me how special you were to work on all this stuff for us. He thought you deserved some additional recognition,” I told her, once again becoming Rod’s wingman.
“I did? Oh, yeh, I guess I did, when we were talking the other night and you said how great it was that Mary Ann was really pitching into help, and now with the dormitory. Now I remember,” Rod said. Mary Ann grabbed and hugged him also, getting me a wink from Rod.
“You guys are just the greatest. I couldn’t have two more wonderful friends. I was telling Russel last night how great you guys were. He doesn’t see it, but then he misses most everything going on around him, if it doesn’t interest him. He’s a little different, but what can I say?” Mary Ann replied. Rod and I rolled our eyes. I wanted to ask her his penis size, but decided it might not be an appropriate time, or place, to ask such a question. Still, I wanted to know sometime.
We asked Em if she was coming tonight for Ladies’ Night. “Is Rod and his crew dancing tonight?” she asked. I told her they were, as far as I knew. Rod said they were. “Well, then we have to support Rod, so I guess we’ll have to come by for a drink or two maybe,” she said smiling. Rod said he was excited they were coming, because he was dancing only for her tonight. The rest of the ladies meant nothing to him except for her. Mary Ann seemed like she was touched. “Well, it’s a chance to see you mostly naked, and in your little thong,” she said, batting her eyes at him.
“Uh, for you, I’d dance totally naked, if it wouldn’t mean getting arrested and Josh losing his liquor license,” Rod replied. She told him not to push it, making Rod back off some.
Buzz didn’t have anything new to report at lunch, on what he found out from the planning commission, other than they told him that the project was a definite go. They were just waiting on some of the paperwork and the funds to be allocated for the initial planning stages and to secure the land. “Doesn’t someone from the University wonder why they haven’t been able to secure the land yet?” I asked Buzz. Buzz threw up his hands.
“Josh, these guys have worked together for so long, they just take everything at face value and the principles at their word. Rumor is there is a closing on the land set for the day after the note is due from the bank. Apparently, the bank has everything put together, they just have to wait for that date to pop up to execute everything,” Buzz informed us.
“Wouldn’t they be a little shocked if that didn’t take place the day it was planned, because the bank didn’t own the land?” I asked, curiously.
“That would be quite a shock to the bank, Weinstein’s company, the architect, the construction company and definitely to the University. I’d have to think there would be a lot of guys standing there with egg on their face,” Buzz remarked.
“And their dicks in their hands,” I added, making everyone laugh. “Okay, now we have to find a way to stop these guys. It’s not fair to Kyle, not one little bit, screwing him over like this, when they could have included him in the deal and all made money,” I replied. Buzz, Jordan and Nate agreed.
“If you’re thinking of doing something to rescue poor Kyle, Josh, you might want to do it behind the scenes, so to speak. Although it would be exciting to get in their faces and say, ‘fuck you’, you still have to do business in this town. If we do something, we need to do it behind the scenes, not take credit for any of it, and just be happy that it happened. If we’re going to live and work in this town, we don’t want to get into a situation where we fuck them all over, and then gloat about it, no matter how satisfying that might seem to us. We need to be as surprised as everyone else, that Kyle was able to pull it off without them,” Buzz suggested. Jordan and Nate agreed wholeheartedly. “We’ll know we fucked them over for trying to fuck Kyle over, but no one else needs to know,” Buzz added.
“I agree wholeheartedly, Josh. Let’s just keep a low profile on this one. Let them lick their wounds, and then try to figure out who caused it. We should stay out of it, like we have all the rest of their projects, and just concentrate on our own. We can celebrate in private,” Jordan suggested.
“So, do you have a plan in mind, Jord?” I asked him. Jordan smiled, then looked to Nate.
“We think we can run a temporary loan through Invescor. These idiots will never be able to track that back to us. It will stop at Invescor, because it’s a Chicago based capital investment company. If they do enough digging to find Invescor, they’ll think Kyle sold his soul again to a private investment company, and he’s no better off than where he was, other than he and Invescor can then sell the property. They’ll actually think that Kyle and Invescor will develop the property for something else, which will drive up the cost to the University, if they want the land, and it appears they definitely due having spent all kinds of money in development costs already. They have far too much time, effort and money tied up in this project, promised to them by Weinstein and Seward, to get out of the running. We play dumb, and don’t know who Invescor is, and could care less. We’re not even a factor in any of this. Our hands are clean, but theirs are dirty,” Nate explained.
“Nate, I’m beginning to love you more and more every day,” I told him, making him smile.
“Jordan and I worked on a few scenarios, but this was the best we could come up with. We’ll fund the investment for Invescor from one of our correspondent banks, so they’re not out anything. There will be a minimum interest rate attached to the note, but Kyle can more than take care of that with the proceeds he’ll get when he sells the property. He’ll still come out way ahead of where he would have, doing this all himself. Any additional information as to what Weinstein, Seward and the bank are planning would be a tremendous help beforehand, if that’s possible,” Nate advised. I told him I had a meeting set up with Rogers tomorrow evening, for what I didn’t know, but would see if he was hearing anything about what Weinstein was up to regarding the University. I told them Rogers needed my help on another project, so in general conversation, I’d see what he knew about Kyle’s situation. Nate said anything we could find out could possibly help.
Thad came to get me to go to accounting class. He had Dennis’ lunch with him. I told the guys goodbye and good work. That seemed to please them. I felt better knowing my guys had a plan. Now we just needed to work on timing. I didn’t want to bail Kyle out too quick, as I wanted Weinstein to think that he was good to go with the sale to the University. A last-minute bail out, seemed like the right thing to do for me. But, I needed Nate’s, Jordan’s and possibly even Cliff’s assessment of when to pull the trigger.
“Josh, Cliff asked me to ask you if it would be okay to come by this evening right after you get back form swim practice, before we get busy with the women tonight. He wants to talk to you about banking strategy,” Thad told me, on the way to accounting.
“I’d love that, Thad. Does he have some ideas?” I asked.
“Well, he said he hoped it wouldn’t come to the point, we needed to change banks, but if it did, he had suggestions on where to go and how to approach them. He sounded okay with us changing, after I told him he was going with us, either in the employee of a new financial institution or working directly for us. He trusts you implicitly Josh. He knows I do, so he does also. Actually, he said it might be kind of exciting to stick it to Hastings. He said he’d love to see the look on his face when he found out you guys were switching banks. He said Hastings and Weinstein were having a lot of closed-door meetings lately, and definitely up to something. He also said Seward drops in occasionally to join them. Something is definitely in the planning with those boys,” Thad told me. I shook my head.
“Why can’t everyone just play nice and practice the Golder Rule?” I asked. Thad chuckled.
“We’re only just beginning to see what takes place when greedy men get together, Josh. Cliff says it makes him sick at times, just to see what goes on,” Thad told me. I told him I could only imagine.
“If we ever start to get like that, Thad, you need to shoot me,” I told him.
“It’ll never happen, Josh. You have too big a heart. Most of us do, so I see us as solving other’s problems, not taking advantage of them,” Thad replied. I told him I hoped he was right.
Damned if Dennis didn’t have Phoenix in there with him again. “Come on in, boys. Don’t be shy. I know dickhead here is hungry, and I’ve had about all I can take of him for the time being, so it’s time for me to go,” Phee told us. I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or what, Phee calling Dennis dickhead. Thad and I entered the office, and sat Dennis’s lunch on his desk. He thanked us.
“You guys are much more polite than my roomy here. Don’t pay him any attention as that’s what gets him going. Just ignore him like I do at our apartment,” Dennis commented. Phee shook his head.
“I get my big dick out and you damn sure don’t ignore me, Denny boy,” Phee replied. Dennis shook his head, as he dug into his lunch we brought him.
“Who could ignore it, as it takes up half the living room,” Dennis chided. “If you’d put some damn clothes on occasionally, I wouldn’t have to look at it.” Thad and I kind of chuckled.
“Sounds like you guys have a indecency problem at your apartment?” I asked, wishing Blake would call me quickly to get me out of there.
“Ah, we just both hate wearing clothes when we don’t have to. So we tease each other a lot,” Phee replied, as Dennis had his mouthful of food.
“Kind of understand that. We usually just hang in our briefs when we’re at home in our apartment,” I replied.
“Ah, Josh, you have to let the big guy breathe and get some fresh air. Let your chippies air out also. They get the musky smell when you keep them all cooped up all the time. Get all sweaty and smelly. Let ‘em out to play, and they’ll look and smell great. My girl loves it when they’re fresh like that. Shit, she comes over and she doesn’t wear any clothes either. We might just be in the middle of a conversation, and then we just go at it and fuck,” Phee told us, surprising us at his candidness.
“Is Dennis around when that happens?” I asked. Phee almost laughed, then looked over at Dennis.
“I better not say,” Phee said, smiling at Dennis. Now Thad and I were more confused than ever. “Some things are just better left unsaid,” Phee added. I was totally confused.
I got my phone call from Blake, which didn’t come too soon. I excused myself to take the call outside the office in the hallway. “Oh, Blake, you saved me. This is getting weirder every time we come to Dennis’ office anymore. I swear, I’m not going to come early anymore. I think Thad and I should just show up just in time for class, and forget about brown nosing. I swear, I have never run into anyone quite like Dennis, and his roommate is even stranger,” I told Blake. He laughed. He told me, if anyone could handle it, I could. That wasn’t the kind of confidence building speech I wanted to hear from him. I told Blake about the conversation we had with the two of them so far. Blake suggested I run out of there. I gave it serious consideration, believe me.
I got back just in time to walk to class with Dennis and Thad. Phee came out of the office, right was I headed back in. He told me I had courage and patted me on the back before taking off. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I was glad I didn’t have to spend any more time with the two of them than I had. Dennis made us walk in front of him again. I told him, I was beginning to think he didn’t have anything to look at anyway, if we followed him. He kind of scoffed at that statement.
Thad and I sat in our seats. “Okay, don’t leave me alone with those two ever again,” Thad told me, when we were finally by ourselves. I asked him what happened. “It got even stranger. They talk to each other like you or I aren’t even there. I don’t know what kind of life they have together, but it’s not natural. Some people think our lifestyle is strange, but these two, I have no idea what that’s all about. They run around naked. There’s a girlfriend involved at times, but she seems to like their nudity and joins in with them. From what I gather, sex with each other, meaning Dennis and Phoenix, doesn’t happen, but they like to talk about it as if it did. They constantly tease one another, but I get the feeling it’s all show and nothing really takes place. I’m so confused and, frankly, would rather not have anything to do with either one of them, Josh. Maybe we can pay someone to deliver Dennis his lunch, and not have to put up with this craziness anymore. I’m so over it,” Thad told me. I told him, I kind of thought I was also.
Dennis did a good job of explaining things during class and gave us our assignment for Friday. Then, as we were ready to leave, he summoned Thad and me to talk to him before leaving.
“Guys, I want to apologize for the way Phee acted last time and today. Honestly, you must think I’m some kind of strange perverted weirdo, and that’s not the case at all. Phee loves to embellish and make anyone that knows me, concerned about me as a person and my mental stability. I’m not like that at all, guys, just so you know. I could tell you guys were very uncomfortable today and last Monday. I will try not to let that happen again, just so you know. I’m going to tell him tonight he was way out of line today, and I don’t want him stopping by my office again, unless it’s an emergency. He thinks he’s being funny, but we don’t know each other all that well, and I could tell you didn’t appreciate his sense of humor, not that I did either. Anyway, I wanted to apologize to you guys. Hopefully his little misbehavior will not damage our relationship with each other. I consider you guys friends, as well as students. You’re two of my best students. Not only that, but I have a very high regard for Ken also, and I’d hate for Phee to damage any professional relationship I might have with anyone. Just forget Phee ever existed, because he doesn’t anymore when it comes to us,” Dennis explained, then stuck out his hand to shake our hands. “See you Friday?” he asked. We both nodded, then thanked him for clearing that up for us. We told him we were very puzzled by the conversation. Dennis said he could tell, but he didn’t want to get into an argument with Phee in front of the two of us. He said he’d deal with him tonight. Thad and I weren’t sure what that was all about, nor did we want to know anymore about how they coexisted together as roommates.
Thad and I headed back to the bar, more confused than ever now. We decided we’d show up early on Friday one more time to see if the situation, meeting with Dennis early, changed any from what it had been in the past. We were still a little skeptical, but thought we’d take Dennis at his word and try it one more time.
I made a couple of phone calls when I got back to the bar. I called Tom to see how he was doing. He told me the FBO project was coming together nicely, and they had all kinds of compliments from transient traffic in and out of City airport. Tom said they were busier than hell. He said Rick was doing a bang up job, and they’d hired more line-boys to take care of the customers. Tom said they had several overnight hanger gigs, storing corporate jets in our hangers overnight. He said they were making a small fortune on that business, and had plenty of hangar space to do it in. Tom said he heard from Dale. Dale told him he hoped to get his check rides for his instrument and commercial in this week, but they were too busy with charters, so he postponed his check rides to get more air time, going with Greyson in the King Air. Tom said he talked to Greyson also, who told him that Dale was a natural in the King Air. Tom chuckled when he said Greyson gave Tom hell, because Dale got more time in the Citation than he had so far. He was jealous. I had to laugh, as did Tom. Tom said he told Greyson, that would soon change. Greyson said he appreciated that.
“Tom, I’m telling you, Dale is such a sweetheart. I just love him to pieces. Most all of us do,” I said, singing Dale’s praises.
“Yeh, well he loves you, Jake and the rest of the guys just as much. Don’t love him too much and forget about James and me,” Tom warned. I had to laugh.
“Never, Tom. You know the two of you are extremely special to both Jake and me. I hadn’t talked to you in a while and wondered why, when I had the chance to think about you, that I got an erection. Damn, that happens almost every time I think about you. I can’t explain it,” I chided. Tom laughed, but told me he had the same reaction, and had a boner just talking to me. I told him I had one also, making us both laugh. We figured we needed to get together soon and take care of that. I told him I needed to get back to the City and check in on Will. I asked Tom if he’d seen Will lately. He said he saw him at the CNB late last week one night, when they were in town briefly and went for dinner. He ran into Will and Jules there. I asked him what he thought about Jules, and how he acted around him and James.
“Ah, he’s okay, I guess. He always wants to be noticed, I guess I could say, but that’s my opinion. When Will would get excited about telling us something, Jules would try to one-up him with something else, trying to make us think he was important also, even though he was in a different business. I could tell that it bugged Will some, but other than that, they seem to get along well. They seem to really care about one another,” Tom told me.
“You know, Will was concerned about that the last time we were in the City, when we had dinner at the CNB. Jules showed up for dinner, uninvited, which pissed off Will. Will told Jules that we had business to discuss that night, and the two of them could get together with us some other time. Still, Jules showed up, which didn’t set well with Will. Will said he’d practically do anything to get close to Jake and me, wanting to rub elbows with the top brass, making him feel important,” I shared with Tom. Tom laughed.
“Tell him it’s much more fun to rub dicks with you guys. James and I get a real thrill out of that, and all the other crazy fun we do with each other naked. He’s playing in the minor leagues if he’s excited about elbows. Dicks and ass are the way to go,” Tom chided. I had to laugh.
“You are so crazy, that’s why we love you as much as we do, you and James, Will too. You really should treat Will to some of your physical love charm, you know. He’d really enjoy that,” I suggested. Tom said he’d love to, if he could ever find enough time to stay on the ground long enough, or separate Will from Jules. I told him to make an effort, if he was so inclined.
“Are you kidding. Will is fantastic, beautiful, and sexy as hell. Would love to dip my cock in that hole of his. You know it, Josh. I wouldn’t play with just anyone in your posse, but as much as I know he loves you, James and I would play with him. We’ll try to make that happen sometime. Might be better if you guys were with us when we did. Will might be more comfortable with that,” Tom replied. I told Tom I loved him and James, and suggested they find their way over here sometime for some relaxation. He said he’d try to make that happen.
After enjoying my conversation with Tom, I called Wil to see what he was up to. “Hey, I was just thinking about you this afternoon, and it made my dick hard,” Will told me, when he answered the phone. I had to laugh. “I was thinking about that combination to the safe in Stoney’s office, looking at the right and left directions and trying to figure out what Stoney might have used as a possible combination, looking at phone numbers, addresses, anything I could think of,” Will explained.
“Well, did you come up with anything?” I asked. He laughed.
“Uh, I haven’t tried. Josh, it gives me the creeps to go in that house without you there. I swear Stoney’s spirit is watching me, and trying to give me a hard time, or scare the bejeebers out of me, which has happened a few times. Nothing ever happens when I’m with you, but let me go by myself, and it’s crazy. I even took one the ranch hands in there with me just to see if that would work. He almost quit, saying there was bad mojo in that house. He didn’t have to argue with me about that. I don’t know how Greer lived there for as long as he did,” Will commented.
“Well, Stoney was alive when Greer was living there. I don’t think Greer ever spent a night in the house after Stoney died, to tell you the truth. Greer might be more concerned about being in there by himself than you are, for that matter,” I replied. “Did you ever fix a burial plot for his ashes up on that hill you spec’d out?” I asked.
“No, but I need to get that prepared and order him a monument to sit on top of his burial plot. I know he said to scatter his ashes in the feed lot, but I’m not about to do that and mix it up with all the cow shit and piss. He deserves better than that, Josh,” Will explained.
“I agree, but I’m just thinking, once we get his ashes off the fireplace mantle, maybe it won’t be as spooky in the house, and we can concentrate on the safe.”
“Not so sure, Josh. That spirit goes anywhere it wants. And for some reason it has its nose up my ass for sure,” Will replied.
“But, Will, you have such a sweet ass. Hell, if I was a spirit and following you around, I’d be up your ass all the time,” I chided. Will laughed, saying he might actually enjoy that, but he hoped I’d stick my Real Cock up his ass for years to come, anyway. I hoped for nothing less than that also. I asked him about Jules.
“Getting along fine. Nothing really has changed much there. We enjoy keeping each other company. Our only problems exists when we’re around other people we know. He does his thing where he thinks he has to prove to others his importance. I told him one time, if you have to tell someone how important you are, you’re not important. That kind of pissed him off, but he got over it. He tells me I’m good for him, because I ground him. Go figure. Other than that, our personal time together couldn’t be better. How’s everything in Uni?” he asked. I told him a few things that were going on, including the meeting with the other developers in town, and how one of them had become a friend but was in trouble. I told Will we were trying to help him find a way to keep from losing everything. I told him what happened to Kyle, and how he got in that situation to begin with. Will couldn’t believe what happened to Kyle. I told him we all had a problem with it, and none of the other developers were stepping in to help him at all, with a couple actually trying to profit off his misfortune. Will said that stunk. He told me if anyone could help him, he figured I could. Then Will asked about Blake and how he was doing, reminding me how special the night was we spent together with each other in front of the fireplace. I told him Blake and I talk about that fondly. He said that made his heart warm to hear that, as he really liked Blake a lot. I told him we all did. Zach came and got me, telling me we had to head to swim practice. I told Will I loved him and to come over for a weekend soon. He said he’d try, but if he did, he didn’t want to bring Jules. I chuckled about that.
I told Zach what was going on, as we walked to the Natatorium. He said it was tough having guys spread out like we did, with Erin and Jason in Ft. Lauderdale, and Will, Tom and James in the City, and even Greer in Key West with Sven. I told Zach that Dylan was a big fan of Sven’s. Zach chuckled. saying he could see that.
When we got naked to change, Allen, OBB and Aiden asked me if I was comfortable with Dustin moving into the house with all of them. I told them I was okay with it, if they were. They were all for it. Ethan reminded them his ass and dick were off limits to Dustin. Allen told him not to be such a prude, as Dustin could make him feel wonderful. Ethan told them all, he didn’t want to feel wonderful, he just wanted to stay straight. Allen told him he was missing out on a lot, not wanting to play a little anyway. I told them all, sex between us had to be consensual, and I didn’t want to hear anything otherwise. Allen reminded me, he wasn’t exactly consenting when I broke him in to male sex. He had me there.
“Uh, you could hardly speak, but your dick begged me for attention. I listened to your dick, if you remember Allen. I don’t think you regretted any of it, if I remember. Good grief, look at you now,” I chided. Allen came and hugged and kissed me, our naked bodies rubbing our manhood together as we embraced, giving him a semi, which I pointed out to his embarrassment. He said that was the greatest day of his life when I brought him over. He said he never looked back. Ethan wasn’t sure what to say, so he remained silent. Les said he was glad there was one more dick showing up there that could handle his and Brandon’s ass. Allen told him there was a charge for non-residents, then laughed. Les said he’d pay whatever we wanted, as there was more hot dick in that house than anywhere on campus. He was probably right about that.
After practice, we all headed back to the bar to get ready for Ladies’ Night. I remembered that Cliff was going to stop by to brief me on possible bank changes. Thad and Cliff were there when I got back. We went into the office. Cliff gave me a quick hug.
“Not sure why you want to possibly change banks, other than you think Hastings and Weinstein may be working against Kyle, which I believe they are. They have meetings almost daily now. I looked at the loan projections sheet we have on line which show what moneys we have reserved for upcoming loans. The day before Kyle will technically default, there is a half million scheduled to loan out to Weinstein and Seward, joint tenants, a partnership they’ve formed, different from any others. Hastings signed off on the loan. Now that’s not unusual for him to sign off on that size amount for good customers. He would do the same for you, although I would prepare it and he would approve it, as there are huge amounts of reserves on hand for you guys, so it’s like lending you your own money. These guys don’t have the reserves for that kind of money, having most of theirs tied up in assets. They have the assets to cover the debt, but they’re not liquid like you guys. Anyway, it’s on the loan projection report that we have. It sticks out like a big dick on a midget, the size that it is. There’s nothing near a hundred thousand on that list of twenty or so loans projected to close during that period of time. If they were trying to hide that from me, they forgot about the loan projection schedule,” Cliff stated. I had to smile.
“So, how are your guys going to cover this for Kyle, or are you?” Cliff asked. I smiled.
“Okay, I trust you, even though your boss doesn’t. I need to know the last minute that balloon note can be paid off and be under the wire and not default,” I told him. Cliff smiled.
“The money must be physically in our bank before midnight the day it’s due. Now, no one is there to process it, and close the loan after 5:00, so we’d have to have it before then. I need a wire transfer by 5:00 the day it’s due. I can close the loan out myself. Hastings is gone by then, so he’ll never look at it, thinking the note is in default. He’ll probably be celebrating with Seward and Weinstein somewhere and never know the loan was paid off. He’ll be pissed when he discovers it the next day, and sees that I was the one that closed it out. He’ll probably fire me right off the bat, just because he’s pissed, not thinking about my involvement with you guys at the time. I suppose that’s why you’re prepared to change banks,” Cliff stated.
“If he fires you, it’s an automatic change of banks. Two things will hit him directly in the balls that morning. One, finding out he lost the deal, after the loan was processed to Weinstein and Seward to pay off the bank. Imagine the irony of that. Hastings, the bank, lends money to Seward and Weinstein to pay the bank back. No money leaves the bank, but the bank is satisfied for nothing, as they already have their half million from us for Kyle, but now Weinstein and Seward have a half million dollar loan obligation to the bank for nothing, and they still don’t own the property. I mean they’ll just pay it back immediately, but they’re going to have egg on their face, along with Hastings. I can only imagine the words being spouted that morning,” I commented. Cliff said he’d heard some interesting words coming out of their mouths already. “Cliff, just so you know, and you only, the money to pay off Kyle’s note will be coming from one of our companies in Chicago, Invescor, set up as a private equity situation as if they and Kyle were forming a business together. Hastings would have to look hard and long to tie it back to us. Not that it can’t be done, but they have no idea who Kyle has talked to or what he’s negotiated. That leaves us out of their gun sights. So, here’s how it comes down, if it all plays out like I think it might. Kyle will pay the note off at the last minute. You will process the paperwork at the last hour of business that day and give Kyle his note back marked ‘paid in full’. Hastings, Weinstein and Seward won’t know what happened until the next day. Hell, they might even move on the sale of the land to the University for all we know, not knowing they don’t own it. That would be embarrassing. It’s still going to be embarrassing when they have to tell the University the land is no longer available for them to sell. That should really be embarrassing for them,” I said.
“Oh, Josh, you have no idea. I hope I’m not fired before I get to witness the fallout on that one,” Cliff said excited.
“Anyway, they’ll eventually find out you processed the payment, unbeknown to them, be so embarrassed and pissed off about it, Hastings will fire you, Cliff. Hopefully, you have another bank lined up for us, then we’ll immediately move all our business out of First National to the new bank. Not only will the idiots lose their deal of the century with the University, but they’ll lose their largest customer at the same time. I’d be surprised if Hastings, along with Seward and Weinstein, survive the rest of the guys on the board when that happens, and they have to go before the board to explain their unprofessional behavior, bordering on fraud. The only beef we’ll have with First National, which is totally legit and understandable, was that you were to be our go to guy there, and you’re no longer there, so we aren’t either. I’ll claim First National breached our trust in them, and we no longer have any confidence they can handle our business, a situation totally unrelated to Kyle’s situation,” I explained.
“Brilliant, Josh. They’ll be blown away, the creeps that they are. Couldn’t happen to nicer guys. I used to look up to Weinstein and Seward. They always treated me decently when they’d drop by the bank. Lately, however, everything is a secret. Now the real assholes of their organizations, the ones that seem to be pushing things today, are their sons, Simon and Spencer. Those two are complete assholes, if you ask me. They won’t even speak to me when they come in the bank, turning up their noses at me when I greet them. Supposedly, they’re pushing their dads to doing whatever necessary to build the business, even at the expense of anyone. They don’t like Kyle, and never did, thus they’re wanting to take him out of the picture and move his property to make a quick buck. But, the dads are going along with it, along with Hastings, who could have put a stop to it if he wanted to. The whole thing is a shitty, if you ask me. I can’t wait to see all their planning and scheming take them all down. The dads will be pissed at their sons for not listening to them, and all of them will be pissed at Hastings, which will be directed to me,” Cliff replied, but he was smiling.
“Okay, you have something up your sleeve, Cliff. What’ve you got?” I asked.
“Okay, so the rival bank in town to First National is First Central National Bank. The staff there is relatively young and very friendly. We used to compete for the largest bank in town with them, moving from first to second place, then back to first, depending on what was going on. We were relatively the same size. Well, you guys changed all that when you brought your banking business to us. We blew them out of the water at that point. Now is our chance to blow First National out of the water. Don’t you just know they’ll be excited to have you guys?” he asked. I smiled.
“Cliff, I like where you’re going with this. Keep going, my friend, as this is damn interesting.”
“Okay, I have all the information prepared for you as to what to ask for. I’ve already done an analysis on services and ability to work with correspondent banks. Their systems are very similar to ours, maybe even a little more sophisticated. They are a correspondent bank for some of the largest banks in the country, which is necessary to handle your business. To put it in a nutshell, they can handle your business with ease, and possibly more efficiently than we are at the moment. You guys don’t notice any quirks now, because I fix everything before information gets to you. In some cases, I have to do things manually for Ken, when I wouldn’t have to do that with them. Their Exec. VP in charge of bank officers, tried to recruit me a few months back, giving me quite a nice offer. I think they were hoping, they might be able to entice you guys for some of your business, if they were able to get me on board. I told them I was very happy at the time, but if things changed, I’d be sure to let them know. I know the guy fairly well and run into him at certain functions we all participate in city wide. He’d be happy to entertain my joining them for sure. He’s a young guy and good looking also, much better to deal with than Hastings. Anyone would be, for that matter,” Cliff explained.
“So how do we go about talking to them without making any commitments about you?” I asked.
“I have everything ready for Ken to discuss with their president and Mr. Goodie, their Exec VP that’s tried to recruit me. Cute name, Mr. Goodie. I wonder if he has a Mr. Goodbar hanging between his legs. He’s certainly cute enough, I’d want to suck on that thing,” Cliff chided, getting a frown from Thad. “I’m kidding, Thad. You know I love your sweet dick more than anything, well yours, Josh’s and Jake’s. They’re all nice, what the hell,” Cliff chided. I chuckled.
“Maybe we’ll all have to check out that Mr. Goodbar as part of the negotiations to change banks,” I suggested, getting Cliff somewhat excited. “Okay, sorry. Go ahead as to what you want Ken to do, Cliff.”
‘Anyway, it would be good for Ken, Nate and maybe Jordan, if he has time, to meet with Mr. Goodie and discuss what their bank could do for your company. Have them question each item on the list I give them, and be satisfied with the answers. If there is anything, they don’t hear the answer we should hear, let me know, and I’ll tell them what we need to know for clarification. Once the interview is done, and you’re satisfied they can handle us, tell them you’ll give them some serious consideration. Even if you don’t change banks, there are still some things they can do better for you than we can. I was working on those items for you anyway, but if you need to throw them a bone and move part of your business to them, you can do that also, so everyone is happy. I want you to rest assured, they can handle any and all of your business, and put that together very quickly, which I will help them do, regardless,” Cliff explained. I had to hug him.
“No matter how this comes down, Cliff, you’re going to get a significant raise out of all of this. I’ll make sure that happens,” I promised him, as I hugged him.
”I just want to see justice happen to Hastings and the Seward and Weinstein families, and you guys get a better working relationship with your financial institution in town here, regardless what bank it is,” Cliff stated. “I’ll be more than excited if we can achieve those goals.” I told him we damn sure would.
I asked Thad and Cliff if they wanted to stay for dinner. Thad said he had to work for Ladies’ night, so he’d stay, but Cliff had work to do, working on our situation, getting everything ready for Ken to perform an interview with First Central National Bank. I liked the name of that already, and the thought of Mr. Goodie, meeting him and checking him out. Cliff gave me another hug, telling me he was excited for the first time in a long time. I told him he was an integral part of pulling off one of the greatest efforts to squash an injustice before it happened. He said it felt good, to the point it almost made his dick hard. Thad told Cliff he’d make his dick hard later. Cliff said he’d hold him to it. I laughed, but told Cliff, if Thad couldn’t, I would. Thad laughed.
Kyle was waiting with Blake when Thad and I emerged from the office after our meeting with Cliff. I gave him a quick full-on hug. “I’m ready to do battle with the ladies tonight, just like you said,” Kyle said, excitedly. I told him he was a good man. We found Jake, then found us a table for a quick bite, before we had to get dressed in our short shorts and wife beaters to go to work. I asked Kyle to brief us on what took place today with the salvage operation. He told us one group was pulling out all the appliances. A second group was pulling out all the plumbing fixtures and metal pipes. A third group was pulling out all the doors and hinges. A fourth group was sucking out all the Freon from the HVAC equipment and removing it. Kyle said he had a small fortune in Freon, as that gas used in A/C units was so expensive these days. I told him, I hadn’t even thought about that, but it was more money to add to the pot.
“Josh, I still don’t know what I’m going to do about the balloon note, as with all of what we’re doing, we’ll never finish in time before it’s due. Are we wasting our time postponing the inevitable?” he asked again. I smiled.
“You wouldn’t believe the plan in the works, Kyle. I don’t want to tell you exactly how it’s coming down, but you will be protected, and this will work out to your advantage. I’ll fill you in later on all the details. In the meantime, you’ll have to trust me, that we’re working to your best interests here. I know that’s a stretch, given what you’ve gone through trusting that Kenny before, but I can honestly tell you, there are some major things in the works that will make you happy when they’re realized. I don’t want to take a chance of any of this getting out to anyone before it takes place. We’re all on a need- to-know basis at this point. I will cover everything with you before the note is due, so you have no worries, but in the meantime, go about your business as usual following the plan we set out,” I asked him.
“I shouldn’t trust anyone anymore, Josh, but I do trust you more than anyone on this planet right now. I have seen all the great things and good you have done for so many. If you care about me like you say you do, I have no worries whatsoever. Just tell me what to do and when, then we’ll get drunk when it’s all over and we’re all safe. Mold me, shape me, give me marching orders, and it will be done,” Kyle told me. I smiled at him. I could have kissed him, but women were starting to show up, and that wouldn’t have been cool.
After our bite to eat, we all went upstairs to the apartment to change. He followed Jake and I into our bedroom, where I told him to strip to his briefs. He did as asked. “Jake, look at Kyle’s hot body. He’s ripped. I’m telling you. His pecs aren’t quite as large as yours, but they’re damned sexy just the way they are,” I told Jake. Jake looked him over with just his briefs on. He felt Kyle’s muscle groups, checking him out. Kyle stood still, rather proud of his body sculpturing. Jake complimented him over and over. Even his legs were very shapely, not overly muscular, but damned sexy. “Okay, enough, you’re getting me excited,” I told Jake. “I’m telling you, Kyle is one hot guy.”
“Me, not really. You two are the hot ones. Look at Jake. I wish I had half the muscle tone he has, and you, Josh, you’re just perfect the way you are. Both you guys are hot as hell,” Kyle told us. I had to hug him for that one and give him a kiss. Jake hugged and kissed him also. “Wow, to be loved by you two. That’s something. I never dreamed anything like this would ever happen to me in my life,” Kyle said gratefully. Just then Tink popped in.
“Reporting for duty, and I brought my uniform back with me. Damn, Kyle, you are ripped. I liked you when I saw you on Sunday, but you look even hotter up close,” Tink exclaimed. Kyle gave Tink a quick hug, Tink saying he was getting excited.
“I swear, anything gets you excited these days Tink,” I chided.
“Where’s Dylan at. Now that boy can get your cock overly excited,” Tink replied. Jake and I laughed.
“So, you got a sample of some Dylan love, huh?” I chuckled.
“Boy did I. He’s great. Not great, he’s fantastic. Kyle, you’ve never had a BJ before, if you haven’t had one from Dylan. He’s the best. Damn, did he drain my balls and then some, Monday night.”
“I cant believe you guys did what you did in the kitchen, when we were upstairs with the girls looking at the bathroom,” I told Tink. He smiled big time.
“Hey, it was quick, but it was damned powerful. Gees, did he make me see stars. Wow. Dylan is the best for sure,” Tink said, excitedly.
“Hey, you have extremely limited experience at this point, so hold your opinion until you get more experience,” I suggested.
“I want lots of experience, Josh. I’ll take as much as I can get. This is so fantastic, the life you guys have with each other. I just want to move in here and fuck day and night,” Tink exclaimed.
“Hey, that’s not how it works, Tink. There is emotion and love involved between all of us, and we are all devoted to the success of our business. It’s not all physical pleasure and hedonistic activities,” I assured him, making him look a little disappointed.
“Okay, you taught me many wonderful things already. I guess I need to study the rest of what you’ll teach me. Mold me, shape me, fuck me until I see stars,” he said, making us all laugh. He was hopeless at this point, until he got more experience. It was all too new and wild at the moment. He couldn’t get enough of it to satisfy him.
Although we were, at times, a distraction to one another, as we studied around the kitchen island, I always enjoyed being with the guys. We were like family. Dustin, Blake and I settled in with Ethan and Tim, who were already working on their subjects. We got some ice tea before opening up our laptops and getting down to business. Tim and Ethan took a break while we did. They wanted to know about basketball practice, and if anything crazy took place. I told them the team was really shaping up, and it looked like we were going to have an even more solid team next year, if everyone stayed healthy. They asked about Dave, and if we were able to get any further insight into his story. I told them I hadn’t heard anything one way or another, expecting Caleb and Chase to finally determine his gender preference sooner or later. Then Dustin said he had something to ask me about.
“Josh, what would you think about me moving into the house, which would free up an extra bed for you guys here or give Dylan more privacy, in case he wants to bed the UPS guy sometime?” Dustin asked. My heart kind of sank.
“Where would you stay at the house if you moved over there?” I asked, curiously, trying to determine where he was coming from.
“Well, Caleb and Chase asked me to bunk with them. I know it’s kind of weird, but the three of us really have a fantastic time together, and I think it would be great to spend more time with them. We all really care about one another,” he explained.
“Is it something you want to do, or feel like you need to do?” I asked.
“I’ll miss you guys something terribly, especially having you and Jake right across the hall for easy access, but I figured I can come here to study at night like Ethan does. In fact, he and I can come together, then go back together. That way, I can still spend time with you guys here, and sleep over there. I spend the whole weekends there now, so it wouldn’t be much of a difference,” he replied.
”If it’s something you willingly want to do, I have no problem with it, other than I’ll miss you. But if you’re here to study, unless you’re sleeping with Jake and me, I don’t see much difference, I guess. Are Caleb and Chase okay with this?” I asked.
“They asked me to move in with them. They said we all loved one another, and it was a shame not to spend more nights together. Besides, if we get in each other’s way, I can always bunk with Ethan for the night. I’m sure he’d love to have me in his arms, and whatever for a night or two a week,” Dustin chided. Ethan gave him a disturbed look.
“Hey, don’t go figuring you’re going to slip into bed with me at night. Not going to happen,” Ethan warned him. Dustin chuckled.
“Why, it wouldn’t be all bad. I could cuddle with you, keep you warm, and you could fuck my ass and make us both happy,” Dustin chided. Ethan shook his head at him.
“Josh, tell him he can’t do that,” Ethan begged, very concerned. I chuckled.
“He’s giving you shit, Ethan. No one has to do anything sexually they don’t want to do. Those are the rules, and we respect one another’s boundaries, not that any of us have many of them,” I went on to say, getting a chuckle out of the rest of them.
“Well, I do have boundaries when it comes to sex,” Ethan reminded us. Dustin chuckled. Ethan was still sitting at the island on a stool, while Dustin was standing up. Dustin went over to Ethan and started massaging his bare shoulders. Ethan loved having his shoulders massaged.
“I could massage your shoulders for you, Eth. Make you feel wonderful all over,” Dustin told him in a very provocative tone of voice. Ethan was half lost in having his shoulders massaged.
”Well, that I could handle for sure,” he said, his eyes closed, his head leaning forward, enjoying Dustin’s magical massaging touch. I was counting the seconds to see how long this intimate attention was going to last before Dustin did something else to upset Ethan. It didn’t take long, as I supposed it wouldn’t. Dustin leaned down and started gently kissing Ethan’s neck. “Dustin, stop. You know that gets me excited,” Ethan protested. Dustin kept it up. “Stop, Dustin, you’re giving me a boner,” Ethan told him again, then wiggled out of what Dustin was doing. Dustin gently groped Ethan’s junk to see if he had a boner. He did, which Dustin announced to all of us, embarrassing Ethan. “Now see, that’s why we have problems between us. You don’t respect my boundaries,” Ethan told him.
“Your dick says you’re having a great time. It’s your mind that says you can’t handle being cared for by someone that really cares about you. You know you could stick that hard beautiful cock of yours inside my ass, and make us both happy,” Dustin replied. Ethan shook his head.
“I’m not so sure you living at the house is such a good idea, unless you can give me my space and respect my wishes not to be molested by you,” Ethan told Dustin. Dustin looked sad.
“Okay by me, but you’re missing the opportunity of a lifetime keeping me shut out like you are. But, that’s okay, as I get enough action from Caleb and Chase, and all the rest of my friends here. It’s sad you can’t feel the love physically that we all enjoy and cherish,” Dustin told him.
“Dustin, I love you. I really do love you. But, I can’t handle the physical attention you seem to need to go with that love. I’ll hug you, and, hell, maybe even kiss you from time to time, but I can’t have sex with you. I just can’t,” Ethan told him, then held out his arms for Dustin to give him a hug. The two hugged tightly then, Ethan actually kissed him quickly on the lips. Dustin went back for a second kiss, one that lasted a bit longer. Ethan made it through both of them. “Now, can I get back to studying?” Ethan asked. Dustin smiled.
“You do love me more than you let on, you know,” Dustin chided. Ethan gave him a nervous smile. “That’s okay. I’ll always be there for you, Ethan,” Dustin added. It was as if Ethan was trying to keep back the tears, getting a little emotional when Dustin said what he did.
“So when is this move going to take place, and have you told Dylan about it?” I asked. Dustin smiled.
“I mentioned it to Dylan. He seemed cool with it, but told me I had to come over occasionally for a booty call. And, he said he was going to rip up my ass the night before I moved. Kind of looking forward to that happening. We all know the boy is damned good at ripping up an ass. In fact, he’s one of the best,” Dustin proclaimed. He got no argument from any of us on that.
Thinking about it, I was kind of sad to think Dustin would be going to the house, but if he were to be here almost every night to study with us, and take part in other activities, I guess it’d be okay. He seemed excited to be sleeping with Caleb and Chase, the two he enjoyed spending most of his time, and definitely sharing sex with on the weekends. I could see that working out okay. Ethan seemed to be concerned Dustin might give him grief, but that was just Ethan. Having Chase and Caleb to keep Dustin busy might relieve some of the sexual tension that built up from time to time with those two, like it had tonight. Who knew?
Wednesday seemed to fly by. Micro econ went quickly, then our meeting at the SU for coffee with our new BMF, Rod, went by way too fast. He informed us they knocked down more of the kitchen cabinets. The drywall had been delivered, and stacked in a pile in the living room. There were buckets of plaster (mud, as Todd referred to it) and seam tape there with the drywall. Rod said there were drywall knives there also along with a couple of mud pans. He said he hoped Todd would show them what to do with them, as they didn’t have a clue. Rod said there was a machine with a crank on it also for hoisting drywall up to the ceiling. Dylan had dropped that off sometime while they were gone. And, he said there were some kind of stilts that you supposedly wore to mud the ceilings. I had seen those before, but never used them. I told him, it would make him look very tall when he wore those. He thought he’d wear them the next time he saw Mary Ann, to impress her with his height.
“You ready to dance tonight?” I asked him. He smiled.
“Yep, ready to shake my average willie tonight for the ladies. I might see if I get any decent offerings tonight. Been awhile since I dipped my dick in pussy juice, although the last time was not too swift. I may have to rethink that,” Rod replied. Trevor told Rod, that dipping his dick in boy ass was a lot more fun. “Don’t temp me,” Rod replied.
“The last few pussies I’ve fucked caused me all sorts of problems. Guys are a hell of a lot easier to deal with.” Trevor told him that was so true.
Em was all excited when she saw us in Marketing. “Guys, I talked to my design professor about your offer to have us work on the dorm suites. She was absolutely ecstatic over having something tangible to work on. She couldn’t be happier. We’re going to need Buzz in the very near future to present the project the way he presented it to this class. This is going to be fantastic. My prof is putting together the game plan to attack this project, to use it as a learning process. It’s going to be great. This is just the greatest opportunity,” Em said, hardly able to contain herself.
“Hey, if you pull this off, like I know you will, there will be a plaque in the lobby with the architect, construction company, subs and now the room designers on it, to signify who put the original building together. I guess we’ll have to put the class year of the Uni design department on there, with maybe special mention of a few of the leadership of who pioneered the project, kind of like the corner stone, so to speak. We might want to put a time capsule in there somewhere also, so in fifty years it can be opened to see what things were like back in our youth,” I teased. Mary Ann grabbed me, hugged me and kissed me, she was so excited.
“A building that has my name on the corner stone as one of the interior designers? Wow, I couldn’t be more excited,” she said.
“Actually, Rod suggested that to me, telling me how special you were to work on all this stuff for us. He thought you deserved some additional recognition,” I told her, once again becoming Rod’s wingman.
“I did? Oh, yeh, I guess I did, when we were talking the other night and you said how great it was that Mary Ann was really pitching into help, and now with the dormitory. Now I remember,” Rod said. Mary Ann grabbed and hugged him also, getting me a wink from Rod.
“You guys are just the greatest. I couldn’t have two more wonderful friends. I was telling Russel last night how great you guys were. He doesn’t see it, but then he misses most everything going on around him, if it doesn’t interest him. He’s a little different, but what can I say?” Mary Ann replied. Rod and I rolled our eyes. I wanted to ask her his penis size, but decided it might not be an appropriate time, or place, to ask such a question. Still, I wanted to know sometime.
We asked Em if she was coming tonight for Ladies’ Night. “Is Rod and his crew dancing tonight?” she asked. I told her they were, as far as I knew. Rod said they were. “Well, then we have to support Rod, so I guess we’ll have to come by for a drink or two maybe,” she said smiling. Rod said he was excited they were coming, because he was dancing only for her tonight. The rest of the ladies meant nothing to him except for her. Mary Ann seemed like she was touched. “Well, it’s a chance to see you mostly naked, and in your little thong,” she said, batting her eyes at him.
“Uh, for you, I’d dance totally naked, if it wouldn’t mean getting arrested and Josh losing his liquor license,” Rod replied. She told him not to push it, making Rod back off some.
Buzz didn’t have anything new to report at lunch, on what he found out from the planning commission, other than they told him that the project was a definite go. They were just waiting on some of the paperwork and the funds to be allocated for the initial planning stages and to secure the land. “Doesn’t someone from the University wonder why they haven’t been able to secure the land yet?” I asked Buzz. Buzz threw up his hands.
“Josh, these guys have worked together for so long, they just take everything at face value and the principles at their word. Rumor is there is a closing on the land set for the day after the note is due from the bank. Apparently, the bank has everything put together, they just have to wait for that date to pop up to execute everything,” Buzz informed us.
“Wouldn’t they be a little shocked if that didn’t take place the day it was planned, because the bank didn’t own the land?” I asked, curiously.
“That would be quite a shock to the bank, Weinstein’s company, the architect, the construction company and definitely to the University. I’d have to think there would be a lot of guys standing there with egg on their face,” Buzz remarked.
“And their dicks in their hands,” I added, making everyone laugh. “Okay, now we have to find a way to stop these guys. It’s not fair to Kyle, not one little bit, screwing him over like this, when they could have included him in the deal and all made money,” I replied. Buzz, Jordan and Nate agreed.
“If you’re thinking of doing something to rescue poor Kyle, Josh, you might want to do it behind the scenes, so to speak. Although it would be exciting to get in their faces and say, ‘fuck you’, you still have to do business in this town. If we do something, we need to do it behind the scenes, not take credit for any of it, and just be happy that it happened. If we’re going to live and work in this town, we don’t want to get into a situation where we fuck them all over, and then gloat about it, no matter how satisfying that might seem to us. We need to be as surprised as everyone else, that Kyle was able to pull it off without them,” Buzz suggested. Jordan and Nate agreed wholeheartedly. “We’ll know we fucked them over for trying to fuck Kyle over, but no one else needs to know,” Buzz added.
“I agree wholeheartedly, Josh. Let’s just keep a low profile on this one. Let them lick their wounds, and then try to figure out who caused it. We should stay out of it, like we have all the rest of their projects, and just concentrate on our own. We can celebrate in private,” Jordan suggested.
“So, do you have a plan in mind, Jord?” I asked him. Jordan smiled, then looked to Nate.
“We think we can run a temporary loan through Invescor. These idiots will never be able to track that back to us. It will stop at Invescor, because it’s a Chicago based capital investment company. If they do enough digging to find Invescor, they’ll think Kyle sold his soul again to a private investment company, and he’s no better off than where he was, other than he and Invescor can then sell the property. They’ll actually think that Kyle and Invescor will develop the property for something else, which will drive up the cost to the University, if they want the land, and it appears they definitely due having spent all kinds of money in development costs already. They have far too much time, effort and money tied up in this project, promised to them by Weinstein and Seward, to get out of the running. We play dumb, and don’t know who Invescor is, and could care less. We’re not even a factor in any of this. Our hands are clean, but theirs are dirty,” Nate explained.
“Nate, I’m beginning to love you more and more every day,” I told him, making him smile.
“Jordan and I worked on a few scenarios, but this was the best we could come up with. We’ll fund the investment for Invescor from one of our correspondent banks, so they’re not out anything. There will be a minimum interest rate attached to the note, but Kyle can more than take care of that with the proceeds he’ll get when he sells the property. He’ll still come out way ahead of where he would have, doing this all himself. Any additional information as to what Weinstein, Seward and the bank are planning would be a tremendous help beforehand, if that’s possible,” Nate advised. I told him I had a meeting set up with Rogers tomorrow evening, for what I didn’t know, but would see if he was hearing anything about what Weinstein was up to regarding the University. I told them Rogers needed my help on another project, so in general conversation, I’d see what he knew about Kyle’s situation. Nate said anything we could find out could possibly help.
Thad came to get me to go to accounting class. He had Dennis’ lunch with him. I told the guys goodbye and good work. That seemed to please them. I felt better knowing my guys had a plan. Now we just needed to work on timing. I didn’t want to bail Kyle out too quick, as I wanted Weinstein to think that he was good to go with the sale to the University. A last-minute bail out, seemed like the right thing to do for me. But, I needed Nate’s, Jordan’s and possibly even Cliff’s assessment of when to pull the trigger.
“Josh, Cliff asked me to ask you if it would be okay to come by this evening right after you get back form swim practice, before we get busy with the women tonight. He wants to talk to you about banking strategy,” Thad told me, on the way to accounting.
“I’d love that, Thad. Does he have some ideas?” I asked.
“Well, he said he hoped it wouldn’t come to the point, we needed to change banks, but if it did, he had suggestions on where to go and how to approach them. He sounded okay with us changing, after I told him he was going with us, either in the employee of a new financial institution or working directly for us. He trusts you implicitly Josh. He knows I do, so he does also. Actually, he said it might be kind of exciting to stick it to Hastings. He said he’d love to see the look on his face when he found out you guys were switching banks. He said Hastings and Weinstein were having a lot of closed-door meetings lately, and definitely up to something. He also said Seward drops in occasionally to join them. Something is definitely in the planning with those boys,” Thad told me. I shook my head.
“Why can’t everyone just play nice and practice the Golder Rule?” I asked. Thad chuckled.
“We’re only just beginning to see what takes place when greedy men get together, Josh. Cliff says it makes him sick at times, just to see what goes on,” Thad told me. I told him I could only imagine.
“If we ever start to get like that, Thad, you need to shoot me,” I told him.
“It’ll never happen, Josh. You have too big a heart. Most of us do, so I see us as solving other’s problems, not taking advantage of them,” Thad replied. I told him I hoped he was right.
Damned if Dennis didn’t have Phoenix in there with him again. “Come on in, boys. Don’t be shy. I know dickhead here is hungry, and I’ve had about all I can take of him for the time being, so it’s time for me to go,” Phee told us. I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or what, Phee calling Dennis dickhead. Thad and I entered the office, and sat Dennis’s lunch on his desk. He thanked us.
“You guys are much more polite than my roomy here. Don’t pay him any attention as that’s what gets him going. Just ignore him like I do at our apartment,” Dennis commented. Phee shook his head.
“I get my big dick out and you damn sure don’t ignore me, Denny boy,” Phee replied. Dennis shook his head, as he dug into his lunch we brought him.
“Who could ignore it, as it takes up half the living room,” Dennis chided. “If you’d put some damn clothes on occasionally, I wouldn’t have to look at it.” Thad and I kind of chuckled.
“Sounds like you guys have a indecency problem at your apartment?” I asked, wishing Blake would call me quickly to get me out of there.
“Ah, we just both hate wearing clothes when we don’t have to. So we tease each other a lot,” Phee replied, as Dennis had his mouthful of food.
“Kind of understand that. We usually just hang in our briefs when we’re at home in our apartment,” I replied.
“Ah, Josh, you have to let the big guy breathe and get some fresh air. Let your chippies air out also. They get the musky smell when you keep them all cooped up all the time. Get all sweaty and smelly. Let ‘em out to play, and they’ll look and smell great. My girl loves it when they’re fresh like that. Shit, she comes over and she doesn’t wear any clothes either. We might just be in the middle of a conversation, and then we just go at it and fuck,” Phee told us, surprising us at his candidness.
“Is Dennis around when that happens?” I asked. Phee almost laughed, then looked over at Dennis.
“I better not say,” Phee said, smiling at Dennis. Now Thad and I were more confused than ever. “Some things are just better left unsaid,” Phee added. I was totally confused.
I got my phone call from Blake, which didn’t come too soon. I excused myself to take the call outside the office in the hallway. “Oh, Blake, you saved me. This is getting weirder every time we come to Dennis’ office anymore. I swear, I’m not going to come early anymore. I think Thad and I should just show up just in time for class, and forget about brown nosing. I swear, I have never run into anyone quite like Dennis, and his roommate is even stranger,” I told Blake. He laughed. He told me, if anyone could handle it, I could. That wasn’t the kind of confidence building speech I wanted to hear from him. I told Blake about the conversation we had with the two of them so far. Blake suggested I run out of there. I gave it serious consideration, believe me.
I got back just in time to walk to class with Dennis and Thad. Phee came out of the office, right was I headed back in. He told me I had courage and patted me on the back before taking off. I wasn’t sure what that meant, but I was glad I didn’t have to spend any more time with the two of them than I had. Dennis made us walk in front of him again. I told him, I was beginning to think he didn’t have anything to look at anyway, if we followed him. He kind of scoffed at that statement.
Thad and I sat in our seats. “Okay, don’t leave me alone with those two ever again,” Thad told me, when we were finally by ourselves. I asked him what happened. “It got even stranger. They talk to each other like you or I aren’t even there. I don’t know what kind of life they have together, but it’s not natural. Some people think our lifestyle is strange, but these two, I have no idea what that’s all about. They run around naked. There’s a girlfriend involved at times, but she seems to like their nudity and joins in with them. From what I gather, sex with each other, meaning Dennis and Phoenix, doesn’t happen, but they like to talk about it as if it did. They constantly tease one another, but I get the feeling it’s all show and nothing really takes place. I’m so confused and, frankly, would rather not have anything to do with either one of them, Josh. Maybe we can pay someone to deliver Dennis his lunch, and not have to put up with this craziness anymore. I’m so over it,” Thad told me. I told him, I kind of thought I was also.
Dennis did a good job of explaining things during class and gave us our assignment for Friday. Then, as we were ready to leave, he summoned Thad and me to talk to him before leaving.
“Guys, I want to apologize for the way Phee acted last time and today. Honestly, you must think I’m some kind of strange perverted weirdo, and that’s not the case at all. Phee loves to embellish and make anyone that knows me, concerned about me as a person and my mental stability. I’m not like that at all, guys, just so you know. I could tell you guys were very uncomfortable today and last Monday. I will try not to let that happen again, just so you know. I’m going to tell him tonight he was way out of line today, and I don’t want him stopping by my office again, unless it’s an emergency. He thinks he’s being funny, but we don’t know each other all that well, and I could tell you didn’t appreciate his sense of humor, not that I did either. Anyway, I wanted to apologize to you guys. Hopefully his little misbehavior will not damage our relationship with each other. I consider you guys friends, as well as students. You’re two of my best students. Not only that, but I have a very high regard for Ken also, and I’d hate for Phee to damage any professional relationship I might have with anyone. Just forget Phee ever existed, because he doesn’t anymore when it comes to us,” Dennis explained, then stuck out his hand to shake our hands. “See you Friday?” he asked. We both nodded, then thanked him for clearing that up for us. We told him we were very puzzled by the conversation. Dennis said he could tell, but he didn’t want to get into an argument with Phee in front of the two of us. He said he’d deal with him tonight. Thad and I weren’t sure what that was all about, nor did we want to know anymore about how they coexisted together as roommates.
Thad and I headed back to the bar, more confused than ever now. We decided we’d show up early on Friday one more time to see if the situation, meeting with Dennis early, changed any from what it had been in the past. We were still a little skeptical, but thought we’d take Dennis at his word and try it one more time.
I made a couple of phone calls when I got back to the bar. I called Tom to see how he was doing. He told me the FBO project was coming together nicely, and they had all kinds of compliments from transient traffic in and out of City airport. Tom said they were busier than hell. He said Rick was doing a bang up job, and they’d hired more line-boys to take care of the customers. Tom said they had several overnight hanger gigs, storing corporate jets in our hangers overnight. He said they were making a small fortune on that business, and had plenty of hangar space to do it in. Tom said he heard from Dale. Dale told him he hoped to get his check rides for his instrument and commercial in this week, but they were too busy with charters, so he postponed his check rides to get more air time, going with Greyson in the King Air. Tom said he talked to Greyson also, who told him that Dale was a natural in the King Air. Tom chuckled when he said Greyson gave Tom hell, because Dale got more time in the Citation than he had so far. He was jealous. I had to laugh, as did Tom. Tom said he told Greyson, that would soon change. Greyson said he appreciated that.
“Tom, I’m telling you, Dale is such a sweetheart. I just love him to pieces. Most all of us do,” I said, singing Dale’s praises.
“Yeh, well he loves you, Jake and the rest of the guys just as much. Don’t love him too much and forget about James and me,” Tom warned. I had to laugh.
“Never, Tom. You know the two of you are extremely special to both Jake and me. I hadn’t talked to you in a while and wondered why, when I had the chance to think about you, that I got an erection. Damn, that happens almost every time I think about you. I can’t explain it,” I chided. Tom laughed, but told me he had the same reaction, and had a boner just talking to me. I told him I had one also, making us both laugh. We figured we needed to get together soon and take care of that. I told him I needed to get back to the City and check in on Will. I asked Tom if he’d seen Will lately. He said he saw him at the CNB late last week one night, when they were in town briefly and went for dinner. He ran into Will and Jules there. I asked him what he thought about Jules, and how he acted around him and James.
“Ah, he’s okay, I guess. He always wants to be noticed, I guess I could say, but that’s my opinion. When Will would get excited about telling us something, Jules would try to one-up him with something else, trying to make us think he was important also, even though he was in a different business. I could tell that it bugged Will some, but other than that, they seem to get along well. They seem to really care about one another,” Tom told me.
“You know, Will was concerned about that the last time we were in the City, when we had dinner at the CNB. Jules showed up for dinner, uninvited, which pissed off Will. Will told Jules that we had business to discuss that night, and the two of them could get together with us some other time. Still, Jules showed up, which didn’t set well with Will. Will said he’d practically do anything to get close to Jake and me, wanting to rub elbows with the top brass, making him feel important,” I shared with Tom. Tom laughed.
“Tell him it’s much more fun to rub dicks with you guys. James and I get a real thrill out of that, and all the other crazy fun we do with each other naked. He’s playing in the minor leagues if he’s excited about elbows. Dicks and ass are the way to go,” Tom chided. I had to laugh.
“You are so crazy, that’s why we love you as much as we do, you and James, Will too. You really should treat Will to some of your physical love charm, you know. He’d really enjoy that,” I suggested. Tom said he’d love to, if he could ever find enough time to stay on the ground long enough, or separate Will from Jules. I told him to make an effort, if he was so inclined.
“Are you kidding. Will is fantastic, beautiful, and sexy as hell. Would love to dip my cock in that hole of his. You know it, Josh. I wouldn’t play with just anyone in your posse, but as much as I know he loves you, James and I would play with him. We’ll try to make that happen sometime. Might be better if you guys were with us when we did. Will might be more comfortable with that,” Tom replied. I told Tom I loved him and James, and suggested they find their way over here sometime for some relaxation. He said he’d try to make that happen.
After enjoying my conversation with Tom, I called Wil to see what he was up to. “Hey, I was just thinking about you this afternoon, and it made my dick hard,” Will told me, when he answered the phone. I had to laugh. “I was thinking about that combination to the safe in Stoney’s office, looking at the right and left directions and trying to figure out what Stoney might have used as a possible combination, looking at phone numbers, addresses, anything I could think of,” Will explained.
“Well, did you come up with anything?” I asked. He laughed.
“Uh, I haven’t tried. Josh, it gives me the creeps to go in that house without you there. I swear Stoney’s spirit is watching me, and trying to give me a hard time, or scare the bejeebers out of me, which has happened a few times. Nothing ever happens when I’m with you, but let me go by myself, and it’s crazy. I even took one the ranch hands in there with me just to see if that would work. He almost quit, saying there was bad mojo in that house. He didn’t have to argue with me about that. I don’t know how Greer lived there for as long as he did,” Will commented.
“Well, Stoney was alive when Greer was living there. I don’t think Greer ever spent a night in the house after Stoney died, to tell you the truth. Greer might be more concerned about being in there by himself than you are, for that matter,” I replied. “Did you ever fix a burial plot for his ashes up on that hill you spec’d out?” I asked.
“No, but I need to get that prepared and order him a monument to sit on top of his burial plot. I know he said to scatter his ashes in the feed lot, but I’m not about to do that and mix it up with all the cow shit and piss. He deserves better than that, Josh,” Will explained.
“I agree, but I’m just thinking, once we get his ashes off the fireplace mantle, maybe it won’t be as spooky in the house, and we can concentrate on the safe.”
“Not so sure, Josh. That spirit goes anywhere it wants. And for some reason it has its nose up my ass for sure,” Will replied.
“But, Will, you have such a sweet ass. Hell, if I was a spirit and following you around, I’d be up your ass all the time,” I chided. Will laughed, saying he might actually enjoy that, but he hoped I’d stick my Real Cock up his ass for years to come, anyway. I hoped for nothing less than that also. I asked him about Jules.
“Getting along fine. Nothing really has changed much there. We enjoy keeping each other company. Our only problems exists when we’re around other people we know. He does his thing where he thinks he has to prove to others his importance. I told him one time, if you have to tell someone how important you are, you’re not important. That kind of pissed him off, but he got over it. He tells me I’m good for him, because I ground him. Go figure. Other than that, our personal time together couldn’t be better. How’s everything in Uni?” he asked. I told him a few things that were going on, including the meeting with the other developers in town, and how one of them had become a friend but was in trouble. I told Will we were trying to help him find a way to keep from losing everything. I told him what happened to Kyle, and how he got in that situation to begin with. Will couldn’t believe what happened to Kyle. I told him we all had a problem with it, and none of the other developers were stepping in to help him at all, with a couple actually trying to profit off his misfortune. Will said that stunk. He told me if anyone could help him, he figured I could. Then Will asked about Blake and how he was doing, reminding me how special the night was we spent together with each other in front of the fireplace. I told him Blake and I talk about that fondly. He said that made his heart warm to hear that, as he really liked Blake a lot. I told him we all did. Zach came and got me, telling me we had to head to swim practice. I told Will I loved him and to come over for a weekend soon. He said he’d try, but if he did, he didn’t want to bring Jules. I chuckled about that.
I told Zach what was going on, as we walked to the Natatorium. He said it was tough having guys spread out like we did, with Erin and Jason in Ft. Lauderdale, and Will, Tom and James in the City, and even Greer in Key West with Sven. I told Zach that Dylan was a big fan of Sven’s. Zach chuckled. saying he could see that.
When we got naked to change, Allen, OBB and Aiden asked me if I was comfortable with Dustin moving into the house with all of them. I told them I was okay with it, if they were. They were all for it. Ethan reminded them his ass and dick were off limits to Dustin. Allen told him not to be such a prude, as Dustin could make him feel wonderful. Ethan told them all, he didn’t want to feel wonderful, he just wanted to stay straight. Allen told him he was missing out on a lot, not wanting to play a little anyway. I told them all, sex between us had to be consensual, and I didn’t want to hear anything otherwise. Allen reminded me, he wasn’t exactly consenting when I broke him in to male sex. He had me there.
“Uh, you could hardly speak, but your dick begged me for attention. I listened to your dick, if you remember Allen. I don’t think you regretted any of it, if I remember. Good grief, look at you now,” I chided. Allen came and hugged and kissed me, our naked bodies rubbing our manhood together as we embraced, giving him a semi, which I pointed out to his embarrassment. He said that was the greatest day of his life when I brought him over. He said he never looked back. Ethan wasn’t sure what to say, so he remained silent. Les said he was glad there was one more dick showing up there that could handle his and Brandon’s ass. Allen told him there was a charge for non-residents, then laughed. Les said he’d pay whatever we wanted, as there was more hot dick in that house than anywhere on campus. He was probably right about that.
After practice, we all headed back to the bar to get ready for Ladies’ Night. I remembered that Cliff was going to stop by to brief me on possible bank changes. Thad and Cliff were there when I got back. We went into the office. Cliff gave me a quick hug.
“Not sure why you want to possibly change banks, other than you think Hastings and Weinstein may be working against Kyle, which I believe they are. They have meetings almost daily now. I looked at the loan projections sheet we have on line which show what moneys we have reserved for upcoming loans. The day before Kyle will technically default, there is a half million scheduled to loan out to Weinstein and Seward, joint tenants, a partnership they’ve formed, different from any others. Hastings signed off on the loan. Now that’s not unusual for him to sign off on that size amount for good customers. He would do the same for you, although I would prepare it and he would approve it, as there are huge amounts of reserves on hand for you guys, so it’s like lending you your own money. These guys don’t have the reserves for that kind of money, having most of theirs tied up in assets. They have the assets to cover the debt, but they’re not liquid like you guys. Anyway, it’s on the loan projection report that we have. It sticks out like a big dick on a midget, the size that it is. There’s nothing near a hundred thousand on that list of twenty or so loans projected to close during that period of time. If they were trying to hide that from me, they forgot about the loan projection schedule,” Cliff stated. I had to smile.
“So, how are your guys going to cover this for Kyle, or are you?” Cliff asked. I smiled.
“Okay, I trust you, even though your boss doesn’t. I need to know the last minute that balloon note can be paid off and be under the wire and not default,” I told him. Cliff smiled.
“The money must be physically in our bank before midnight the day it’s due. Now, no one is there to process it, and close the loan after 5:00, so we’d have to have it before then. I need a wire transfer by 5:00 the day it’s due. I can close the loan out myself. Hastings is gone by then, so he’ll never look at it, thinking the note is in default. He’ll probably be celebrating with Seward and Weinstein somewhere and never know the loan was paid off. He’ll be pissed when he discovers it the next day, and sees that I was the one that closed it out. He’ll probably fire me right off the bat, just because he’s pissed, not thinking about my involvement with you guys at the time. I suppose that’s why you’re prepared to change banks,” Cliff stated.
“If he fires you, it’s an automatic change of banks. Two things will hit him directly in the balls that morning. One, finding out he lost the deal, after the loan was processed to Weinstein and Seward to pay off the bank. Imagine the irony of that. Hastings, the bank, lends money to Seward and Weinstein to pay the bank back. No money leaves the bank, but the bank is satisfied for nothing, as they already have their half million from us for Kyle, but now Weinstein and Seward have a half million dollar loan obligation to the bank for nothing, and they still don’t own the property. I mean they’ll just pay it back immediately, but they’re going to have egg on their face, along with Hastings. I can only imagine the words being spouted that morning,” I commented. Cliff said he’d heard some interesting words coming out of their mouths already. “Cliff, just so you know, and you only, the money to pay off Kyle’s note will be coming from one of our companies in Chicago, Invescor, set up as a private equity situation as if they and Kyle were forming a business together. Hastings would have to look hard and long to tie it back to us. Not that it can’t be done, but they have no idea who Kyle has talked to or what he’s negotiated. That leaves us out of their gun sights. So, here’s how it comes down, if it all plays out like I think it might. Kyle will pay the note off at the last minute. You will process the paperwork at the last hour of business that day and give Kyle his note back marked ‘paid in full’. Hastings, Weinstein and Seward won’t know what happened until the next day. Hell, they might even move on the sale of the land to the University for all we know, not knowing they don’t own it. That would be embarrassing. It’s still going to be embarrassing when they have to tell the University the land is no longer available for them to sell. That should really be embarrassing for them,” I said.
“Oh, Josh, you have no idea. I hope I’m not fired before I get to witness the fallout on that one,” Cliff said excited.
“Anyway, they’ll eventually find out you processed the payment, unbeknown to them, be so embarrassed and pissed off about it, Hastings will fire you, Cliff. Hopefully, you have another bank lined up for us, then we’ll immediately move all our business out of First National to the new bank. Not only will the idiots lose their deal of the century with the University, but they’ll lose their largest customer at the same time. I’d be surprised if Hastings, along with Seward and Weinstein, survive the rest of the guys on the board when that happens, and they have to go before the board to explain their unprofessional behavior, bordering on fraud. The only beef we’ll have with First National, which is totally legit and understandable, was that you were to be our go to guy there, and you’re no longer there, so we aren’t either. I’ll claim First National breached our trust in them, and we no longer have any confidence they can handle our business, a situation totally unrelated to Kyle’s situation,” I explained.
“Brilliant, Josh. They’ll be blown away, the creeps that they are. Couldn’t happen to nicer guys. I used to look up to Weinstein and Seward. They always treated me decently when they’d drop by the bank. Lately, however, everything is a secret. Now the real assholes of their organizations, the ones that seem to be pushing things today, are their sons, Simon and Spencer. Those two are complete assholes, if you ask me. They won’t even speak to me when they come in the bank, turning up their noses at me when I greet them. Supposedly, they’re pushing their dads to doing whatever necessary to build the business, even at the expense of anyone. They don’t like Kyle, and never did, thus they’re wanting to take him out of the picture and move his property to make a quick buck. But, the dads are going along with it, along with Hastings, who could have put a stop to it if he wanted to. The whole thing is a shitty, if you ask me. I can’t wait to see all their planning and scheming take them all down. The dads will be pissed at their sons for not listening to them, and all of them will be pissed at Hastings, which will be directed to me,” Cliff replied, but he was smiling.
“Okay, you have something up your sleeve, Cliff. What’ve you got?” I asked.
“Okay, so the rival bank in town to First National is First Central National Bank. The staff there is relatively young and very friendly. We used to compete for the largest bank in town with them, moving from first to second place, then back to first, depending on what was going on. We were relatively the same size. Well, you guys changed all that when you brought your banking business to us. We blew them out of the water at that point. Now is our chance to blow First National out of the water. Don’t you just know they’ll be excited to have you guys?” he asked. I smiled.
“Cliff, I like where you’re going with this. Keep going, my friend, as this is damn interesting.”
“Okay, I have all the information prepared for you as to what to ask for. I’ve already done an analysis on services and ability to work with correspondent banks. Their systems are very similar to ours, maybe even a little more sophisticated. They are a correspondent bank for some of the largest banks in the country, which is necessary to handle your business. To put it in a nutshell, they can handle your business with ease, and possibly more efficiently than we are at the moment. You guys don’t notice any quirks now, because I fix everything before information gets to you. In some cases, I have to do things manually for Ken, when I wouldn’t have to do that with them. Their Exec. VP in charge of bank officers, tried to recruit me a few months back, giving me quite a nice offer. I think they were hoping, they might be able to entice you guys for some of your business, if they were able to get me on board. I told them I was very happy at the time, but if things changed, I’d be sure to let them know. I know the guy fairly well and run into him at certain functions we all participate in city wide. He’d be happy to entertain my joining them for sure. He’s a young guy and good looking also, much better to deal with than Hastings. Anyone would be, for that matter,” Cliff explained.
“So how do we go about talking to them without making any commitments about you?” I asked.
“I have everything ready for Ken to discuss with their president and Mr. Goodie, their Exec VP that’s tried to recruit me. Cute name, Mr. Goodie. I wonder if he has a Mr. Goodbar hanging between his legs. He’s certainly cute enough, I’d want to suck on that thing,” Cliff chided, getting a frown from Thad. “I’m kidding, Thad. You know I love your sweet dick more than anything, well yours, Josh’s and Jake’s. They’re all nice, what the hell,” Cliff chided. I chuckled.
“Maybe we’ll all have to check out that Mr. Goodbar as part of the negotiations to change banks,” I suggested, getting Cliff somewhat excited. “Okay, sorry. Go ahead as to what you want Ken to do, Cliff.”
‘Anyway, it would be good for Ken, Nate and maybe Jordan, if he has time, to meet with Mr. Goodie and discuss what their bank could do for your company. Have them question each item on the list I give them, and be satisfied with the answers. If there is anything, they don’t hear the answer we should hear, let me know, and I’ll tell them what we need to know for clarification. Once the interview is done, and you’re satisfied they can handle us, tell them you’ll give them some serious consideration. Even if you don’t change banks, there are still some things they can do better for you than we can. I was working on those items for you anyway, but if you need to throw them a bone and move part of your business to them, you can do that also, so everyone is happy. I want you to rest assured, they can handle any and all of your business, and put that together very quickly, which I will help them do, regardless,” Cliff explained. I had to hug him.
“No matter how this comes down, Cliff, you’re going to get a significant raise out of all of this. I’ll make sure that happens,” I promised him, as I hugged him.
”I just want to see justice happen to Hastings and the Seward and Weinstein families, and you guys get a better working relationship with your financial institution in town here, regardless what bank it is,” Cliff stated. “I’ll be more than excited if we can achieve those goals.” I told him we damn sure would.
I asked Thad and Cliff if they wanted to stay for dinner. Thad said he had to work for Ladies’ night, so he’d stay, but Cliff had work to do, working on our situation, getting everything ready for Ken to perform an interview with First Central National Bank. I liked the name of that already, and the thought of Mr. Goodie, meeting him and checking him out. Cliff gave me another hug, telling me he was excited for the first time in a long time. I told him he was an integral part of pulling off one of the greatest efforts to squash an injustice before it happened. He said it felt good, to the point it almost made his dick hard. Thad told Cliff he’d make his dick hard later. Cliff said he’d hold him to it. I laughed, but told Cliff, if Thad couldn’t, I would. Thad laughed.
Kyle was waiting with Blake when Thad and I emerged from the office after our meeting with Cliff. I gave him a quick full-on hug. “I’m ready to do battle with the ladies tonight, just like you said,” Kyle said, excitedly. I told him he was a good man. We found Jake, then found us a table for a quick bite, before we had to get dressed in our short shorts and wife beaters to go to work. I asked Kyle to brief us on what took place today with the salvage operation. He told us one group was pulling out all the appliances. A second group was pulling out all the plumbing fixtures and metal pipes. A third group was pulling out all the doors and hinges. A fourth group was sucking out all the Freon from the HVAC equipment and removing it. Kyle said he had a small fortune in Freon, as that gas used in A/C units was so expensive these days. I told him, I hadn’t even thought about that, but it was more money to add to the pot.
“Josh, I still don’t know what I’m going to do about the balloon note, as with all of what we’re doing, we’ll never finish in time before it’s due. Are we wasting our time postponing the inevitable?” he asked again. I smiled.
“You wouldn’t believe the plan in the works, Kyle. I don’t want to tell you exactly how it’s coming down, but you will be protected, and this will work out to your advantage. I’ll fill you in later on all the details. In the meantime, you’ll have to trust me, that we’re working to your best interests here. I know that’s a stretch, given what you’ve gone through trusting that Kenny before, but I can honestly tell you, there are some major things in the works that will make you happy when they’re realized. I don’t want to take a chance of any of this getting out to anyone before it takes place. We’re all on a need- to-know basis at this point. I will cover everything with you before the note is due, so you have no worries, but in the meantime, go about your business as usual following the plan we set out,” I asked him.
“I shouldn’t trust anyone anymore, Josh, but I do trust you more than anyone on this planet right now. I have seen all the great things and good you have done for so many. If you care about me like you say you do, I have no worries whatsoever. Just tell me what to do and when, then we’ll get drunk when it’s all over and we’re all safe. Mold me, shape me, give me marching orders, and it will be done,” Kyle told me. I smiled at him. I could have kissed him, but women were starting to show up, and that wouldn’t have been cool.
After our bite to eat, we all went upstairs to the apartment to change. He followed Jake and I into our bedroom, where I told him to strip to his briefs. He did as asked. “Jake, look at Kyle’s hot body. He’s ripped. I’m telling you. His pecs aren’t quite as large as yours, but they’re damned sexy just the way they are,” I told Jake. Jake looked him over with just his briefs on. He felt Kyle’s muscle groups, checking him out. Kyle stood still, rather proud of his body sculpturing. Jake complimented him over and over. Even his legs were very shapely, not overly muscular, but damned sexy. “Okay, enough, you’re getting me excited,” I told Jake. “I’m telling you, Kyle is one hot guy.”
“Me, not really. You two are the hot ones. Look at Jake. I wish I had half the muscle tone he has, and you, Josh, you’re just perfect the way you are. Both you guys are hot as hell,” Kyle told us. I had to hug him for that one and give him a kiss. Jake hugged and kissed him also. “Wow, to be loved by you two. That’s something. I never dreamed anything like this would ever happen to me in my life,” Kyle said gratefully. Just then Tink popped in.
“Reporting for duty, and I brought my uniform back with me. Damn, Kyle, you are ripped. I liked you when I saw you on Sunday, but you look even hotter up close,” Tink exclaimed. Kyle gave Tink a quick hug, Tink saying he was getting excited.
“I swear, anything gets you excited these days Tink,” I chided.
“Where’s Dylan at. Now that boy can get your cock overly excited,” Tink replied. Jake and I laughed.
“So, you got a sample of some Dylan love, huh?” I chuckled.
“Boy did I. He’s great. Not great, he’s fantastic. Kyle, you’ve never had a BJ before, if you haven’t had one from Dylan. He’s the best. Damn, did he drain my balls and then some, Monday night.”
“I cant believe you guys did what you did in the kitchen, when we were upstairs with the girls looking at the bathroom,” I told Tink. He smiled big time.
“Hey, it was quick, but it was damned powerful. Gees, did he make me see stars. Wow. Dylan is the best for sure,” Tink said, excitedly.
“Hey, you have extremely limited experience at this point, so hold your opinion until you get more experience,” I suggested.
“I want lots of experience, Josh. I’ll take as much as I can get. This is so fantastic, the life you guys have with each other. I just want to move in here and fuck day and night,” Tink exclaimed.
“Hey, that’s not how it works, Tink. There is emotion and love involved between all of us, and we are all devoted to the success of our business. It’s not all physical pleasure and hedonistic activities,” I assured him, making him look a little disappointed.
“Okay, you taught me many wonderful things already. I guess I need to study the rest of what you’ll teach me. Mold me, shape me, fuck me until I see stars,” he said, making us all laugh. He was hopeless at this point, until he got more experience. It was all too new and wild at the moment. He couldn’t get enough of it to satisfy him.
, Ethan getting a bit emotional about it happening as well, he knows he has feelings for Dust but hard to admit them. I just hope for best with Dustin, he reminded me of someone who I used to work with and got me thinking and comparing the two on there similarities.
