The Coming of Josh

Oh my bros have nailed this nicely. I too was amazed at how well Jake took the news of Josh having sex with Tyler. At the beginning of Josh's confession, Jake was almost excited for Josh, thinking he nailed a hottie and had some fun. Like HF mentioned, Josh left out the part where he felt like he loved Tyler, more than just the brotherly love he had for all the rest of his bros. And maybe Josh felt it at the time, during the process, moved by Tyler somehow, but once back in Jake's arms realized it wasn't as real as what he had with Jake. It would be damned difficult to top Jake as far as loving is concerned. Not sure what all is going through Josh's head at the moment. I'm sure we'll find out more as we go along, as to what Josh and Tyler's future relationship will shape up to be. Jake may have a say in that with Tyler also when he has his talk with Tyler. Can't wait to learn more and keeping my fingers crossed Josh still can't live without Jake. Interesting how Jake felt he had the same situation as Josh and Tyler going on with Terry and him. Josh just learned that Terry's interest in Jake was more than just his gymnastics partner and close friend and sometimes fuckbuddy. However, Johan has taken the heat off of that to an extent, distracting Terry somewhat from Jake. The scales are not yet balanced which can lead to discomfort, which scares me some.

Then there's the Dustin and Ethan continuing saga. I love how Zach takes charge when it comes to dressing down Ethan. It seems Josh is happy to let him take the lead on that. They both care about Ethan, yet the really care about Dustin and hate the way Ethan sometimes treats Dustin, unable to really communicate his feelings towards Dustin. Seems as if Zach is losing patience with Ethan when it comes to his indecisiveness in dealing with Dustin. Ethan is still lost, not knowing who he is or who he loves. Zach feels like this has gone on way too long and it's time the two of them really sat down, examined their feelings together then honestly discussed them between each other to see if they ever had a chance of being compatible. I don't know how to vote on this one. I think Dustin is deserving of something better than what Ethan is offering. Ethan has always been a little different from the rest of the guys in that he was totally straight until he wanted in the group, then did what he felt was necessary to belong. Is he still doing that, or is he really torn now that he feels like he might love Dustin. There is no easy answer for this debacle. One thing is for sure, and that's Zach is going to keep the pressure up on Ethan to get his shit together and have an honest dialogue with Dustin. Good luck on that one.

Oh, and finally, nice save on the Hungary/Romania question, FT. Very clever there, I have to say, but then you know that, FT. Nice recovery also on the question of immigration for Johan. This is so much fun.

Anxious like my buds to see what's next. Every chapter is always exciting and full of things to digest. Keep those fingers moving and bring us more Josh. Love it, FT. BC
 
I'm taking a different tact since my Bent Buds are so on top of things, including the story. (group)

The company I worked for, whose name I won't type, because I don't want Google Search finding it here, has several plants (three of which are over 1 Million square feet) in it's home state of Wisconsin. Every one, including the small ones, have a water feature somewhere on the property. In addition to adding some nice visuals, they are also practical in carrying out their purpose as cooling ponds. The ducks, geese, and other animals also like them.

Given their primary purpose, their surface area has to be adequate. I'm telling you this because of the unique, and unlike the others, obviously man-made, pond at their Hartford plant. I've attached two satellite shots. It could be claimed (and has been) to be a 'Q' (given the company name) with a long tail. However, viewing it from the plant's main entrance, at the upper left corner, it might look like something else. I once asked the CEO about that, who had a finger (actually both hands) in it's design. His reply was a smug smile. And, no, his name was not Buzz. :biggrin:

Hey, guys, enjoyed all your comments. I always enjoy your anecdotal comments, Chaz. Do you suppose your CEO had a sense of humor a little on the dirty side? I'm sure there is a lot of that out there if the truth were known.

I get the fact you guys see that Zach is stepping up his pressure on Ethan to basically get his shit together and to quit tormenting Dustin. Although it seems Dustin, maybe unbeknown to him is tormenting Ethan somewhat. It will be interesting to see if they have an honest dialogue between the two of them. Don't be surprised if Zach doesn't referee that conversation, although I' sure he'd prefer to stay the hell out of it.

I am relieved to know you guys were okay with the conversation Josh and Jake had explaining the Tyler happening. Josh and Jake are iron clad, and neither is going to let anyone pry them apart. I was surprised there weren't more comments about Jake having somewhat of the Tyler situation with Terry. We know Jake loves Terry, but then so does Josh. It is a little different than Tyler in that both Josh and Jake take care of Terry sexually, only Jake may do it more often when Josh is off doing other things, like basketball practice. Still, Jake admitted to Josh that Terry has a crush on him and has a small part of his heart. It remains to be seen how big a part of Josh's heart Tyler might capture. I was impressed you all remembered that Josh didn't tell Jake about the first time he had sex with Tyler during Spring Break. I'm sure he felt at the time there was no sense in starting something when he really felt it was a one time thing. That one time thing started a several times marathon.

Oh, and thanks for letting me off the hook on the Romania/Hungary question and the immigration discussion. You guys have to keep me straight in every way except sexually. Ha.

In this next chapter, Jake has a talk with Tyler, who is not anxious for that talk at all. There are some other interesting things that happen also regarding the construction of the Key West properties. With any luck, I'll be back to you on Wednesday. Have a great rest of your weekend and your coming week. In the meantime stay healthy, safe and happy. Huggs, FT
 
Chapter 603 – Jake Talks to Tyler and A Merger Emerges

I was kind of excited to get everyone together this evening to put a plan together for the construction project in Key West, now that we acquired the property. Kyle showed up after work before any of the others and had a beer with us. I asked him if he wanted to attend our meeting also. He told me that Todd called and asked that he might attend, as he and Chad might need Kyle to represent them for inspections for them if he had the time. Kyle told me that once Hal was gone, he thought it best that maybe he merge Hal’s company, Richards Development Co., with Todd and Chad and combine forces. Todd and Chad said they could use the help with as much as SE was throwing at them. Kyle told us he told Todd and Chad he could use their help also if he was to do the science building project.

“Damn, if you didn’t go from a destitute individual about to lose your land and get kicked out of your falling down apartment, to a rich little mother and head of your own construction company about to merge with another once small company, to practically being the largest construction company in the state, Kyle. Way to go,” I told him. He was all smiles, then up and hugged me.

“This is all your fault, you know,” he replied, making me smile. The greatest thing to ever happen to me was to meet you. Thank God, Donovan invited me to that meeting you had with the rest of the development companies. But then, I guess he was told to get me there. Turns out Hal and I were the only legitimate companies that attended. What a setup that was. But, it was the best meeting I ever attended, because I met you guys, and you’ve become lifelong friends that not only bailed me out, but loved me along with it. Yes, things are much better now for me anyway, but I’d give it all up if we could save Hal somehow. He didn’t deserve this disease at all. I’m still dreading the day he has to tell Cam. I just don’t know how he’s going to take this, Josh. I just don’t,” Kyle said, very concerned about the outcome of that conversation. I hugged him.

“We’ll take it one step at a time, Kyle. You have all of us to be there for both of you. I know you love Hal like a second father. He treated you well and cared about you. You helped with Cam also. You were his friend before and still are. Hal knows we’ll all look after Cam. He won’t go unloved at all. How is he holding up anyway?” I asked. Kyle rolled his eyes.

“He thinks he’s holding his own, Josh. I think that’s wishful thinking. I can tell a difference each day I see him. Thankfully, Cam hasn’t seen him lately so he doesn’t see what I see. That’s good in a way. Still, Hal needs to talk to him soon, as I want them to have time together. They need that, both of them,” Kyle replied. I asked him if Hal had determined when he was going to talk to Cam. “He said once he passed his FAA check ride for his private pilot’s license, he’d talk to Cam. He wants to wait until he at least gets that out of the way. Even though his next check ride is only a week after the other, I don’t think he can wait until after the second one to tell him. We all know Cam will be so excited about getting his private rating, he’ll go straight to Hal and tell him all about it. It’s going to happen. Cam will definitely know there’s something terribly wrong, so he’ll have to tell him,” Kyle told me.

“Hey, can I meet with him sometime with you, Kyle? I really feel like I need to say thank you to him for giving us his son to care about and for caring about you like he did. I want him to hear that, so he knows how wonderful we think he is, and respect the great things he’s done in his life. I just feel the need to tell him that,” I told Kyle. Kyle hugged me again in tears.

“Josh, you’re the most thoughtful guy on the face of the earth. Of course you can do that. He’ll be in the office tomorrow afternoon if you want to come by. Call me beforehand, in case he has a doctor’s appointment or something. I’ll be there and we can talk to him together if you like, or you can talk to him alone, it’s your choice,” Kyle replied.

“I think we both need to do it together, as I want to brag on you some in front of him. I know he knows and understands what all you’ve done for Cam to help him and look after him, but I want him to know we all noticed it also, and are very appreciative of what he’s done for both you and Cam,” I told Kyle.

“Thanks, Josh, but you’ve been responsible for most everything good that’s happened to me in my life in the last few months, and really for Cam also. I’m sure he’s well aware of that, and appreciates it beyond our wildest dreams. But it’ll be nice sitting down with him and telling him we all appreciate his contributions to our lives. What else can we do for him at this point?” Kyle stated. Kyle was right. There wasn’t much else we could do for him, but we sure as hell could let him know how much we appreciated him.

I took Kyle to rejoin Blake, and Jake, who were rounding up a table for us for dinner. Will showed up just in time to join us also. We no more than sat down with our beers, then Tyler showed up. Will was on one side of me and Jake on the other, with Kyle and Blake sitting beside one another, so Tyler had to sit away from me. “Hey, Tyler, welcome to the party,” I told him.

“Hey, guys, thanks for asking me. I really appreciate this opportunity to work on this project. The Victorian is a real passion of mine,” Tyler replied, as I motioned for Eric to bring us a beer for Tyler.

“So, you got roped into this project too, huh?” Jake asked him. Tyler looked nervous having to answer Jake, but he hung in there.

“Guess so, but I really enjoy this, Jake, I really do,” Tyler replied. ‘Like I said, I really appreciate this opportunity,” he repeated. I could tell he was nervous. I had a feeling he wanted to have dinner with us so Jake might get to know him better, and, hopefully, not be mad at him, if he thought I had mentioned to Jake what happened in Key West.

We asked Tyler what his bros were doing tonight. Tyler said, although we weren’t coming over for work night, like we normally did on Monday nights, Rod and Lonnie were going to do seme mudding on their own. Kyle got a kick out of that, as did the rest of us. We cut up a bit with one another, and Tyer eventually started to relax some. Jake never gave him any indication there was anything he was upset or concerned about, making Tyler relax some. We sat around and chewed the fat after dinner until it was about time for the meeting. I got up from the table to tell Eric, to bring us some beers when Buzz, Todd and Chad arrived for our meeting in the office. Blake said he’d go make sure we had enough chairs for our meeting, as we normally didn’t have that many in the office. Jake said he knew where we kept the spares and went to help him, with Kyle and Will following them in. Tyler came and caught me on the way to the restroom to take a piss before the meeting to get rid of some of the beer I was drinking.

“Oh, thank goodness, we’re alone for a few seconds,” Tyler said, catching up to me on the way to the restroom. I smiled.

“Well, it’s not like we can kiss or anything,” I replied with a big smile. Tyler rolled his eyes.

“Did you talk to Jake? Does he know we had sex?” Tyler asked, almost in a panic.

“Relax. Yes, I told him we had sex together,” I replied. I thought he was going to faint right in front of me, as we entered the men’s restroom.

“Oh, he hates my guts, doesn’t he? I knew it, I just knew it, and you asked me if I wanted to come to this meeting with him there also?” Tyler asked, almost in a panic. I grabbed him and hugged him, as, thankfully, we were the only ones in the restroom at the moment, but no one knew how long that would last. I stepped up to one of the urinals, as did Tyler, whipping out his toy right beside me. He was pee shy at first, nervous as hell about the fact Jake knew we had sex.

“Jake does not hate your guts, Tyler. On the contrary, he thought that was kind of hot, knowing I always thought you were hot. He got a kick out of the fact you actually had sex with me, like you did me a favor or something,“ I explained, somewhat blowing Tyler’s mind.

“You’ve got to be kidding. I would have thought he’d want to kill me for something like that,” Tyler replied. I shook my head as I finished pissing, then turned to Tyler before I put my dick away.

“You want to shake of the piss drops for me?” I chided. Again, I thought he was going to faint, but he did give it a good look, as I did his nice cock. I reached over and shook it for him, making him pull back.

“Josh, you’re going to get us in trouble,” he said, extremely concerned. I chuckled.

“You need to relax, Tyler. Jake is fine with it. He does want to talk to you to let you know that he isn’t upset with either one of us, as he believes, as I do, that we need to help you through this, whatever direction it takes. If you’re one of us, or even confused about it, we owe that to you as a great friend we really care about. Jake told me if I cared about you, then he did also,” I replied.

“Does he want to fuck me too?” Tyler asked, still concerned.

“Not unless you want him to,” I replied, chuckling. Tyler stuffed his cock back in his briefs and pulled up his jeans as I did.

“No, not really. I only wanted to be intimate with you, Josh. I mean, I guess I could, but that would really be awkward. I don’t know if I could do that,” he replied.

“You don’t have to, and he doesn’t want you to think you have to. He thinks it best if I work with you to help you, and if that means taking the edge off your sexual frustration, he told me I had his blessing to have sex with you to help you,” I explained.

“Wow, that’s crazy. Crazy wonderful in a sense, but I never expected anything like that, Tyler replied.

“Tyler, Jake is as caring as I am. He even explained it to me when we had our talk last night, that he was as caring a person as I was now, because I made him that way. I think he was always a caring person, which is why I fell in love with him in the first place. He told me we had the same heart, and cared about our friends as if they were us. That’s actually how he explained it to me.” Tyler shook his head in dismay.

“I never expected anything like that. I just thought he’d be pissed, and I deserved whatever wrath he wanted to give me. He seemed fine at dinner tonight, knowing I slept with his boyfriend. Wow, I’m just blown away,” Tyler replied. I tenderly kissed him on the lips, with a little passion in it, but a quick one. Tyler smiled. “I was hoping we’d get to kiss each other sometime tonight. I really miss being with you, Josh. I mean, I really do,” he confessed.

“Miss you too, Tyler. We better get to our meeting before they come looking for us,” I told him, then slapped him on his ass, after we finished washing our hands, and using the penis pumps.

“We need one of these in our new bathroom at the house,” Tyler chided.

“Yeh, I’m sure Rod and Lonnie would just love that,” I replied, chuckling, making Tyler smile. He was finally starting to relax, having heard that Jake was okay and not going to be hostile to him, like rip his cock off and stuff it up his ass or something.

Todd, Chad and Buzz were there in the office when we got there. I got hugs from all of them. Tyler shook their hands. Eric brought in the beer.

“Okay, I hate to say I just work for beer, but this is a good start anyway,” Todd chided. I told him it was always there for him whenever he wanted it. He gave me a strange look, as if to ask if I was talking about beer or my dick. I shook my head smiling at him acknowledging our inside joke, which he seemed to appreciate.

When we grabbed some chairs, Jake was on one side of me and Tyler was now on the other. Blake and Kyle were together. Buzz passed out the revised plot plan of the Victorian with the additions to be added and the resort which was reversed on the plot plan now. He even had the dick and balls hot tub on the new diagram. Todd looked at it and shook his head. “Buzz, I’m starting to worry about you,” Todd told him. “I think you’ve been hanging around us too long. I have to say, I really do love what you’ve proposed for this resort. This is going to be a great place for sure,” Todd commented. Chad agreed. Kyle said he couldn’t wait to see it.

“Kyle, did you talk to Josh about what we discussed earlier?” Chad asked. Kyle nodded his head.

“Yes, and he thinks it’s a great idea for both of us,” Kyle replied.

“Okay, we can talk about it, as it’s important for this group to know, going forward. Uh, Tyler, you’re not normally involved with us. Is he okay with confidential information?” Todd asked, looking to Tyler, who was bug-eyed, wondering what he got himself involved with.

“He can be trusted, and will keep anything we talk about confidential,” Jake jumped in and vouched for him. Tyler looked shocked, still in the dark as to what was going on, but impressed as hell Jake was the one that vouched for his trustworthiness. I patted him on his knee, as if to reassure him. “Josh and I trust him completely. We’ll vouch for him,” Jake added. Tyler seemed somewhat relieved, but concerned about what it was that we were holding confidential. He was still nervous.

“I haven’t had a chance to discuss this with Jake yet, but I can tell you he’ll be as excited about this as I was when Kyle told me right before dinner. Tell us all what your plans are so we can get to our plans, which is what this meeting is about,” I told Todd.

“Okay, given the situation with Hal, guys, Chad and I have discussed this with Kyle and Hal, that we should probably merge Hal and Kyle’s business with ours which will give us more management strength, having Kyle on board and allow us to become even larger as we combine forces. No one gets displaced in the process, and we all have extra help, which we’re going to need if Josh and Jake keep growing, which we know they’re hell bent on doing,” Todd explained.

“I think that’s a great idea. Kyle has your resources and help for the university’s new science building, and you have his help with your other projects, not the least being the Key West projects,” Jake exclaimed. “Genus, guys. Congratulations. I think that’s great which I guess is what you thought, Josh?” Jake asked.

“I did. I applaud the plan. I think it will strengthen our construction partners that much more and let them expand in the process. I’m all for it. I know this is going to be great. So what’s the time frame you’re looking at?” I asked the boys.

“Kyle and I think we need to do this right away, given the situation Hal is in. We discussed it with Hal. Hal said to go for it and to get it done ASAP, as that will relieve his concern about Kyle having to go alone with him gone so soon, knowing we are stronger together,” Todd replied.

“We took the liberty of talking to Jordan and Nate about the merger and stock allocation based on assets coming to the table. Kyle actually may have more equity in the new company than we do, due to the assets he’s bringing over. Remember, we were much smaller than Hal’s business. We just ended up with larger projects, thanks to Josh and Jake, who just happened to like us or something,” Chad remarked.

“Yeh, that big dick of yours does it to us every time,” I chided, making them all laugh. “Kyle, beware, Todd does have a big cock and he knows how to use it.”

“TMI,” Tyler remarked, rather sheepishly, making us laugh.

“Oh, shit that’s right. We have a straight one in our midst. Sorry about that, Tyler. You’ll have to get used to our gay humor,” Todd commented.

“It’s okay. I’ve been around Josh, Jake and all their brothers long enough, I understand it all, and not offended by any of it. In fact, I think it’s kind of cool,” Tyler jumped in, anxious to be one of the guys in all of this. Secretly, he was one of us already. We all chuckled. “And, if you do have a big cock, maybe you’ll have to show it to us sometime,” Tyler chided, anxious to be included in our group. We all laughed at that remark.

“Oh, so now he’s not only gay friendly, he’s a ‘size queen’ also. Way to go, Tyler,” Todd joked.

“What’s a ‘size queen’, Josh?” Tyler asked me, somewhat embarrassed he had no idea what Todd just said. I chuckled, shaking my head. I told him, I’d explain it to him later.

“I just want to say, that I couldn’t ask for better partners in this merger. We all care about one another, and have been befriended, helped, enriched financially, and even loved by Josh, Jake and their company, Stoney Enterprises. None of us would be here today in the position we’re in without their help. While the equity coming over from Hal and me might be more than what Todd and Chad have to put into the merger, I proposed that we have equal shares and voting rights in the new company regardless of the equity position. Besides, we all care enough about one another that we’ll make decisions together anyway. If we need to break a tie someday, which will probably never happen, we’ll let Josh and Jake break it for us, an independent interested party,” Kyle proposed.

“I think we’re going to have to let the lawyers figure that one out, Kyle, but thanks for the vote of confidence anyway,” Todd replied, then patted him on the back.

“I propose a toast to our new construction partner, whatever you intend to call it,” I toasted, raising my beer. We all clinked glasses.

“Okay, so much for the small stuff. Buzz, enlighten us so we can get this bitch off the ground and running. We have a lot to do with this new science building, dormitory, SE office building and now a gay resort and a Victorian hotel and restaurant. Good grief, Chad, so much for our small little business Dad always said we’d never get off the ground. Look what the hell we created,” Todd commented, shaking his head.

“You mean, Josh and Jake created, getting us involved in this old bowling alley and then taking off from there,” Chad commented. It was hard to believe in a way.

“So we’ve been in touch this afternoon with a conference call between us, Buzz and Woody, who’s company will be our contractor/construction company in Key West. Josh, I understand you talked to Woody at lunch time also, which got the ball rolling on the demolition of the old resort property. Chad and I studied their proposal, which was very professionally done, I have to say. Those guys have better software than we do, which is something we definitely need to update, Kyle, once we get cracking. Here’s what we’re proposing to do here. Kyle will kind of run herd with our involvement with the Florida project. Chad and I will be in the background working with him, all three of us heavily involved, but Kyle will be our front man for the project, working closely with Woody. He’ll also be involved with the science building also, as we’re stretched as far as we can stretch, even with my big dick,” Todd chided, making us all laugh, including Tyler. “Okay, we think Woody has what he needs to prepare a plan submittal to permitting in Key West. So, the ball is currently back in his court. The overall construction costs Woody’s company estimates are right in line with what we anticipated, so there’s not surprises there. Financially, the project should come in where we thought it would. Once Woody gets the plans approved and picks up the permits, we’re balls to the wall on putting that bitch together and breaking ground. Now, I’m not sure about what all is involved with the renovation of the Victorian. We know what we’re doing with the additions and such, but not sure about all that gingerbread stuff you guys want to replace that’s broken and the overall interior design you’re thinking about. We have money in the project for that, but nothing interior, like restoring the grand staircase and other décor. None of that needs to be approved by the city unless you change something structurally, which I’m not sure what your intentions are there,” Todd stated.

“Tyler is here because he’s been involved with the Victorian and the things that need to be done there to restore it. He’s sourced the material and has lead times and costs, so we’re good to go on that front. We’re thinking about adding additional rooms on the third floor also, which are currently small, but could possibly be enlarged with more bathrooms possibly added. We could work with Buzz on that project and see what could be done that would meet the island’s building codes and fire safety measures. So Tyler is our Victorian guru. Also, not that it’s structural, but we have some women that are working on interior design, paint, draperies, linens, wallpaper, and the like. Tyler can work with them also and coordinate those activities,” I offered, Tyler saying he was eager to get to work in that area. “Tyler has met Woody, sitting in on the meetings for both contract proposals and asking questions about their approach to the renovation of the Victorian. Woody was, by far, the best answering those questions,” I explained.

“Good deal, so we’ll wait for you guys to supply us with details on what we’re doing interior décor wise, but we know what we’re doing with it expansion wise that we’ll be constructing on the back end of the building there for the restaurant portion,” Todd explained. I nodded. “Okay then. Buzz, you, Chad and I, along with Kyle need to talk to Woody tomorrow and finalize the plans to be submitted for permitting. I would assume the zoning is okay since the gay resort was already there and the Victorian was already in business also. Unless they changed the zoning to something different, nothing has really changed there,” Todd mentioned.

“I’m pretty sure Greer checked all that out before we bought the place and nothing had changed. Also, Woody told us he previewed what we were doing with the permit office, and no comments were made that we couldn’t build what we set out to build,” I commented. Todd seemed satisfied we were good on zoning.

“Kyle, you feel comfortable taking the lead on this project for all of us?” Chad asked him. Kyle looked a little concerned, but eager.

“With your help, we can do this. I might have some questions along the way, but this will be a great learning experience for me to get ready for the science building project that will start not too long after we get this one started. I’ll do what I have to do to keep us up to speed on both projects. Combining forces will make things a lot easier on all of us,” Kyle replied. I assured Kyle we had the upmost faith in him. What he didn’t know, Todd or Chad did, so I was satisfied. Kyle looked at me as if to say he hoped so.

“Okay then. We all know what we have to do. Now it’s beer time. I’m going to the bar for free beer,” Todd said, somewhat excitedly. Chad shook his head. We all got up to follow him out. Tyler stopped Kyle for a moment to have him clarify something on the Victorian. Jake and I lagged behind. Tyler getting his answer, Kyle took off to join Blake, Todd, Chad, Will and Buzz at the bar for another beer.

“Tyler, hang on a second,” Jake told him. I couldn’t believe the look on Tyler’s face as he stopped dead in his tracks. “I need to clarify something about your relationship with Josh,” Jake started. I swear Tyler was trembling. “Relax, I’m not going to bite,” Jake added, but Tyler was obviously extremely concerned and embarrassed.

“Jake, I’m so sorry that things got out of hand. I never should have done what I did. I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m so sorry. I sure as hell never meant to hurt you or Josh. I could never do that in a million years,” Tyler said quickly, hoping to soften what he perceived as the blow that was coming. Jake grabbed him and hugged him, scaring Tyler, as he thought Jake was going to accost him.

“Listen, I’m not mad at you at all. Josh is just too damned loveable, none of us can help but love him. Josh told me all about it, and how you were struggling with your identity and gender preference, confused at best as to who you really are. I get that,” Jake said, as he continued to hug Tyler. “I just want you to know Josh has my blessing to help you however he can. If that means having sex with you occasionally to help you figure things out, then that needs to happen. The love Josh and I have is stronger than anything out there, and I have no concerns his helping you will damage the love we have between us. I am concerned about you, as what you’re facing is very difficult and taxing on you emotionally. You need someone to love you to help you through that. If Josh can help you with that, you really need him to. I have no doubt there is no one better to help you with what you’re struggling with than Josh. And, if I can be of any help, I’m here for you also. I really think it should be between the two of you, however, so we don’t distract you or confuse you any. I just want you to know, I’m okay with this. I don’t want you to be afraid of me, but consider me a very close friend also that cares about you and your wellbeing. No one else has to know about this, certainly not Rod or Lonnie or even Tink for that matter. That might really complicate matters. You and Josh just keep it confidential, maintaining your normal friendship for the rest of the world to observe,” Jake told him. Tyler looked into Jake’s eyes with tears in them.

“I swear you’re was wonderful as Josh, Jake. I thought you’d want to kill me,” Tyler replied.

“Oh, if you’d have tried to steal him away from me, not that you ever could, I might have killed you, but it’s much easier to love you instead,” Jake chided. Tyler shook his head in awe. “Just don’t get caught, or we all have a problem then,” Jake advised. Tyler hugged him tightly.

“I couldn’t be any luckier than to have you so sympathetic to my misery,” Tyler replied. “I swear you’re just as loving as Josh.”

“Well, in that respect, I told Josh, we have the same heart. He’s taught me a lot about loving others and I have to say, I feel great the way we love our friends and care about them. You are a close and intimate friend now, and those friends get extra special treatment, just so you know,” Jake chided. Again, Tyler shook his head in amazement.

“I’ll try not to be too needy with Josh, Jake. If I get out of line, I trust you and Josh will straighten me out,” Tyler replied. Jake and I chuckled.

“It’s all good, Tyler. You’re in a tough spot, trying to be who your family and your friends think you are and need to be, versus what your heart and body tell you who you probably are. You’re walking on thin ice there so you need all the help you can get. You’re going to be spending a lot of time with Josh, me, Kyle, Blake, Will, our inner sanctum so to speak. You’re sharing your expertise that we need in refurbishing the Victorian, an important part of what we’re trying to do with the development of this property in Key West. You wouldn’t be here if we didn’t trust and care about you. Just so you know,” Jake told him. “So, are we good here? Still friends that care about one another?” Jake asked, sticking out his hand to shake Tyler’s. Tyler was all smiles, then leaped into Jake’s arms and hugged him instead of shaking Jake’s hand. “Well, I just might really like your close friendship also,” Jake commented, as he hugged Tyler. Tyler seemed happy. “Okay, I’m going for a beer with the rest of the guys. You two can talk some and if you need to, kiss, but don’t take Josh with you,” Jake teasingly warned.

“I won’t. Jake, you’re the greatest friend ever. You both are so loving and caring. I’ve never had friends like the two of you ever,” Tyler said, as Jake patted him on the back, then left the office, closing the door behind him.

“Wow, I never expected anything like that, Josh. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect Jake to be that caring and helpful. I don’t know what to say,” Tyler remarked. I smiled, then hugged him. “Oh, you feel so fantastic in my arms, Josh. I missed you since the moment I left you at the airport when we got back yesterday. Then I felt guilty, wondering if I blew you away by my constant need to be with you and wanting almost continuous sex. But, I just couldn’t help it. You stole my heart, and my body loved you for it. I admit, I felt so guilty when it came to Jake. He didn’t deserve that. How can he be so patient with me? I I were him, I’d want to kill me. Now I see why you love him so much, Josh. I think you two do have the same heart. I really believe that,” Tyler remarked, as I continued to hold him.

“Well, at least we don’t have to sneak around behind his back. I couldn’t live with myself if I did anything like that. As much as I care about you, Tyler, I would have had to let you go and not see you anymore sexually, if it came to that. Like I said, nothing could separate me from Jake. Only death, and I’m not ready to give up on life, when we all have so much to look forward to and love,” I replied.

“I love you so much, Josh,” Tyler said, as he hugged me tightly. We even kissed some, tender kisses turning into passionate kisses after a few moments. “Fuck, my dick is hard now,” Tyler commented. I reached down and felt his boner through his jeans, feeling the stiffness of his interested penis, the nice girth I had once felt inside me. I smiled.

“Nice to know I have that effect on you,” I teased. He felt my crotch, then smiled back at me.

“Someone else got excited also,” he said, smiling. We both chuckled at our quick ability to excite one another sexually. “I’ve got to have you back inside of me, Josh. We have to be able to work this out somehow. I can’t give that up just yet anyway. I’ll try to behave, but I know how bad I want you, and that’s going to be really tough,” he told me. I ran my hand up and down his back, as I held him.

“We’ll have to find a way to take care of that itch you have, Tyler. We can do this. Just don’t fixate on you and me having sex all the time. You really need to work hard on who you want to be. If you really intend to be straight like you said you want to be, then the less sex we have is the best way to get there and minimize the temptation,” I suggested, although I didn’t really want to discourage him, but knew if I was to help him, I needed to. Tyler looked hurt. “I mean, we probably shouldn’t be fucking that much, if we need to straighten you out, Tyler,” I suggested.

“Can we play that by ear and maybe see where this goes?” he asked, concerned.

“Okay, but eventually, we need to stop or you’re never going to be able to later,” I warned. He looked disappointed. “Just being honest about it. It’s hard to live a straight life if all you think about is having sex with me,” I suggested. He hugged me tightly.

“I’ll try, but I don’t know if I can ever give that up totally. I mean if you make me, I guess I’ll have to, but please don’t stop yet anyway,” Tyler pleaded. “I can’t bear the thought of losing you, Josh. I love you too much, and I’m just finding out what that’s like. It’s beautiful, and I’ve never felt so wonderful in my life or enjoyed the closeness and love you’ve shown me. I need you so much,” he pleaded. I hugged him tightly, stroking the back of his head, his head on my shoulder, our cheeks up against one another.

“We need to join the others before Jake thinks we’re fucking on the conference table,” I joked. Tyler stood up and half-smiled.

“Now there’s a thought,” he joked. I slapped his ass and told him, ‘not tonight’. He frowned, then kissed me one more time before we left to join the others.

Once we were back with our group, I again toasted Todd, Chad and Kyle for their new merger. “We’re proud of you three for all that you’ve done with us and for all that you’re going to do in the future,” I said, as a toast.

“Hey, we couldn’t have a better group to work with than you guys. Never in my wildest dreams when we were working on the CNB here, did I ever imagine we’d be doing what we’re doing today and be as large as we’ve become. Not to mention having a great construction project manager the likes of Dylan. Who can’t love Dylan?” Todd asked. We all loved Dylan for sure. “How’s he and this Garth guy doing?” Todd asked.

“Hey, those two are a pair if there ever was one. They’re almost inseparable. Garth is doing a bang up job for us and helping us in so many areas, it’s not funny. He’s a geek, but you’ve got to love him. I guess you could say he’s a geek with a sense of humor and personality. They make quite the pair,” I assured.

“Well, all I can say is there is one hell of a disappointed UPS guy these days. He’s even threatening to change routes because he never sees Dylan anymore. Dylan always used to make sure he was in the construction trailer when the UPS delivery was made so he could see the boy. Now, he’s never there. I guess that says he’s not interested anymore. Like I said, the UPS guy asks about him all the time. We just shrug our shoulders. Talk about depressed. Dylan ever tap that UPS ass?” Todd asked. I almost choked on my beer. “Oh, sorry, Tyler. I keep forgetting you’re straight,” Todd apologized.

“No apology needed, Todd. I’m good with that,” Tyler replied, patting Todd on the back, reassuring him he was not offended, and was one of us in spirit anyway.

“I don’t think they ever got to that point. Dylan wasn’t sure if the guy was gay or not. He said his gaydar was giving him mixed signals. I guess the guy had a kid, from what Dylan told us,” I replied.

“Yeh, he does, but he loves looking at Todd’s crotch, and that bulge where he stuffs that big weenie,” Chad teased. Todd gave him a strange look, but the rest of us laughed.

“I’m certainly going to have to see this first hand sometime to see what you guys are all talking about,” Tyler joked, wanting to be like the rest of us. Kyle shook his head, chuckling.

“Seems like I need to check out my new partner sometime,” Kyle teased. Todd gave him a big smile.

“Maybe you, Chad and I need to spend some quality time celebrating our new union in an intimate kind of way. Then I can really show you what I have,” Todd teased. Kyle’s eyes got big at the thought. We all laughed, even Tyler.

“Well, we just might have to, I guess. Might as well know everything about one another since we’re going to be partners, sounds like in more ways than one,” Kyle chided. Todd gave him a quick hug, and a kiss on the forehead. Kyle seemed to like that.

“Well, I hate to drink and run, but if we’re not all going to get naked and have some fun, Chad and I have a lot of work to do for tomorrow. Kyle, we’ll see you in Hal’s office tomorrow morning. Nate prepared a memorandum of merger for us as a guide on how to put all this together. He said he could join us for the meeting to explain all the steps,” Todd explained.

“Oh so, Nate is working for you guys now?” I asked, curious as to how that happened, since he was a paid employee and shareholder of SE. I was really just razzing Todd.

“He said you wouldn’t mind at all, Josh. In fact, he said you would prefer him putting this together so it would be compatible with where your thinking was going in the future,” Todd replied.

“Well, that’s news to me, but if he said that, then I’m sure it’s true. At least we know you’re not being taken by some shyster lawyer,” I replied. Todd gave me a big hug and a kiss on the forehead. I squeezed his ass cheek when he did, giving him a little thrill. “Damn, you have a tight ass, Todd,” I remarked. He just smiled.

“Yeh, and don’t forget it. You need to visit that more often,” he chided, making Tyler take notice. Chad gave me a hug also, then all the rest of the guys including Tyler.

“I even got hugged. I’m really starting to feel like one of you guys now,” Tyler remarked.

“Just be careful, or you’ll be getting more than a hug,” Blake warned, as he hugged Tyler also, just for the fun of it. “I always get to see you hugging and even kissing Josh when you leave, but I never get to hug you,” Blake said, letting Tyler go after a nice embrace. “Feels kind of good.”

“I’m sorry. I’ll try to remember that in the future, since we’re going to be working with one another more often,” Tyler remarked. Even Kyle gave Tyler a hug, telling Tyler to be careful as he had a hot ass. Tyler thanked him for his flattering remark. Kyle chuckled.

Todd and Chad took off, but Kyle and Tyler hung around for a bit and had another beer with Blake, Jake and me. “I know in my heart this merger is the best thing I can do, given the circumstances we’re facing. I couldn’t ask for two greater guys to align myself with,” Kyle told us. Tyler looked confused.

“You don’t know Hal, Tyler, Cam’s father. He hired Kyle and made him his partner, rescuing him from what we all thought, at the time, was the loss of everything Kyle had. That turned out to be gold for Hal, his kindness paid off big time in that the two ended up with the award for the new science building after the dust settled from the fraud that was committed by some unscrupulous bankers and development company owners. Hal was excited to have one last big project before he retired. Now, Hal is dying of cancer and it’s progressing rather rapidly. Cam doesn’t know this yet, as Hal is waiting for Cam to complete his FAA check ride for his private pilot’s license before he tells him, not wanting to depress Cam when he finds out and possibly taint his check ride. We’re all worried that Cam might sink back into his previous depression. I think he’s strong enough now, he won’t let himself fall into that again. He has all of us that love him, and he loves us all. He and Dale are really getting along great, as a matter of fact. Kyle losing Hal fairly quickly, unfortunately made Kyle think about how to shore up his new company, and that resulted in a merger with Todd and Chad. Actually, I couldn’t think of a better solution to what he he’s facing. I applaud you guys for coming up with the idea,” I commented. Tyler put his hand on Kyle’s shoulder, telling Kyle how sorry he was about Hal. Kyle got a little emotional, telling Tyler he lost his dad the same way a couple of years back and Hal took him under his wing as kind of a second father when that happened. He said his father and Hal had been friends when his dad was alive. Even Will seemed moved by Kyle’s story, only picking up bits and pieces of it before, now putting it altogether in his mind. Tyler hugged Kyle, wanting to comfort him in his emotional state. I was proud of Tyler. He was a caring person, not that I didn’t already know that, but was more so than I imagined. Will even gave Kyle a hug.

“I have so many friends that love me now, I can’t count my blessings fast enough. I don’t know what I’d do without all of you caring about me and Cam. I feel like the luckiest guy on earth,” Kyle replied so appreciatively. “So much for feeling sad. Let’s talk about something better than death. Please,” Kyle pleaded, trying to get himself under control.

“Tyler, you have any questions about any of the meeting? Do you see where it’s all going and how it works?” Will asked Tyler, trying to give Kyle a little break from the previous conversation.

“I do have one question that wasn’t answered during the meeting. What’s a ‘size queen?” Tyler asked, cracking us all up to his dismay. We had a good laugh at that one. “Did I say something wrong?” he asked, innocently. I put my hand on his shoulder, still chuckling.

“A ‘size queen’ is a gay guy that appreciates and loves big cocks, Tyler. That’s what a size queen is,” I said, kind of shocking Tyler a bit, as innocent as he was.

“Why did Todd call me a size queen?” Tyler asked, now somewhat concerned. I was still half chuckling about the way he asked that question.

“Because you asked to see his big dick sometime. So, he figured you liked big dicks, therefore you must be a size queen,” I replied.

“But don’t big dicks hurt your ass?” Tyler asked, somewhat grimacing. I patted him on the back.

“Uh, they can if you don’t know how to take them sometimes or your top doesn’t give a shit about his partner, and just wants to pound you out. Done well, it can be rather enjoyable,” I explained, to a lot of smiling faces.

“Damn, I’d think that would hurt like hell,” Tyler replied.

“Yes, you probably would. But for some guys, size queens in particular, the bigger the better, I guess you could say,” I replied. Tyler was shaking his head.

“I have a lot to learn,” he said, rather confused. Will patted him on his back.

“I’d say you’ve done extremely well already, as so far nothing has sent you screaming and running away,” Will told him. Tyler chuckled, saying it probably should have, but he just enjoyed us way too much for him to ever run away from us. We told him he was a good sport and definitely gay friendly.

Kyle said he was going to take off, as he had some things to prepare for the meeting for tomorrow morning with Hal, Todd and Chad. He gave me a big hug and a kiss to go with it. Will gave him a hug also, saying he was right behind him as his new friend was going to call soon, and he wanted to be home and relaxed when he talked to him. I took that to mean Forest was going to call. I asked if there was going to be phone sex involved with his call. Will laughed, telling me I was terrible, but fun. I told Will he should be having sleep overs rather than phone sex. He just laughed. I figured they had to be getting close to having sex. Good grief, they both needed it.

Tyler said he should be getting back. I told him to make sure that Lonnie and Rod weren’t covered in plaster and hadn’t plastered one another into the wall or anything. Tyler said he was concerned to leave them by themselves with plaster, as he wasn’t’ sure what could happen. Tyler gave Blake a hug, then Jake, telling Jake he had a whole new appreciation for him now. Jake said that made him happy, and he was glad he could help. Jake said he liked Tyler’s hugs also. Tyler gave him an extra one just to make sure Jake felt it. I got a tight hug also, him whispering in my ear he loved me. I patted his tight butt cheek also, making him smile. He did give me a peck on the lips, as he'd been used to doing for some time, something that wouldn’t scare the rest of the guys, knowing this was his normal departure activity with me. He said he’d see us Wednesday night for Ladies’ Night, if not sooner. I felt good about the way the evening went. Tyler felt relieved after talking to Jake, yet he still could see me in a way he needed to. It was a win win for him, I had to think. Plus, he fit in well with the rest of the guys.

Blake, Jake and I headed upstairs and got comfortable in our briefs, when Garth came running out of his and Dylan’s bedroom all excited, jumping into my arms. I was shocked to have that hairy chest up against my smooth chest with Garth’s arms wrapped around me, shocking me somewhat as to why. He had never been this excited in a long time. “Josh, I found it. I fucking really found it!” he practically screamed.

“What, your dick? What did you find, Garth?” I asked, totally surprised. He was so excited he could hardly speak. Dylan was right there with him excited also, almost exploding he was so anxious for Garth to spit it out.

“Oh, Josh, you’re going to fuck my ass good for this one. I’m feeling your dick inside me already, and I’m precuming at the thought,” Garth said excitedly.

“Okay, I give up. What did you find that’s so exciting?” I asked, anxious as hell to hear whatever he was excited about.

“I found the connection between Dickerson and Aikens. I fucking found it!” he said excited. I told him to spill it, as the suspense was killing me. “I couldn’t find any connecting email between the two. Nothing with either of their personal emails or their university emails. There was no communication at all. Ah, but then I found out how they disguised themselves, those nasty bastards,” Garth replied, almost unable to contain himself. I begged him to tell us. “I kept running into this one email from snekia@uni.edu. There were a lot of these to an email address of nosrekcid@uni.edu. I never even bothered to look at any of the content in the moths before when we were digging through the emails from Hastings to Dickerson. Just for shits and giggles, I ran the IP addresses of Dickerson to see where all they popped up. Bam, Dickerson’s IP address on his computer was the same as this nosrekcid@uni.edu. I swear had it been a dick it would have cum all over me. Fuck, don’t you see. That’s Dickerson spelled backwards, and the one he was communicating with, ‘snekia@uni.edu’, is none other than Aikens spelled backwards. Fuck, I can’t believe I missed that. Damn, I got so excited, I think my dick’s hard,” Garth exclaimed, as he rubbed his dick through his briefs, which was showing a nice bulge there.

“Just tell Josh what they were talking about and I’ll fuck you right afterwards to take care of that boner you have,” Dylan urged. Blake, Jake and I were having a hard time keeping up with these two, half comical and half intriguing. Garth gave Dylan a big smile.

“Well, it seems as if Aikens has the same interests in water sports as our Mr. Hastings and Mr. Dickerson,” Garth told us, excitedly.

“You’re kidding, right?” I asked. Garth almost exploded with laughter, still rubbing his boner through his briefs.

“Oh yeh. He’s big into it and he’s connected to some of the money Dickerson was supposed to get that got invested in Chicago somehow. No wonder the bastard was trying to squelch Clay’s reporting. That’s not only his friend, but his potty friend,” Garth explained. I was still confused as to why Aikens was wrapped up in all of this.

“Clay says he’s fucking a new female intern he just hired. Are you sure he’s involved with water sports with Dickerson and Hastings?” I asked, confused. Garth smiled.

“He can still be hetero and enjoy water sports. Don’t understand it myself, but I guess it happens. Maybe the new intern pisses on the old geezers,” Garth suggested. I still didn’t understand any of this. “Josh, I have him admitting to how much he enjoys their basement poker night as he calls it. I was able to cross reference some of Hastings emails using his normal email address talking with Aikens’ fake email address talking to Dickerson’s fake email address, so they had to be real and not a coincidence. He even talked about bringing a guest with him. Maybe that was the female intern,” Garth suggested. My head was spinning at this point. “We should ask Clay,” Garth suggested.

“He’s at the studio for a special report tonight at 10:00. He won’t be home until later. I’m not so sure we should tell him about this yet, as that might put him in danger,” I suggested, getting weird looks from Garth, as excited as he was at finding this information. We need to think this through, guys. So now we have a connection between Aikens, Hastings and Dickerson. Any mention about any money involved, as if to give us an indication if Aikens was involved in the bribery scheme?” I asked Garth.

“Possibly. I’m still going back further to see what all they were talking about. Aikens does mention in his fake email abut Dickerson winning big at poker. He might be referring to the money that Dickerson was getting from S&W. He suggested that could help bring in more guests. You don’t suppose he’s talking about women, do you?” Garth asked. We all had to stop and think about that one.

“Duncan said Spence and Simon always had women around and kept them on drugs. Damn, I wonder if they were all involved in some sort of human trafficking. I can’t even begin to fathom something like that. Spence and Simon pretty much had Duncan under control with drugs at one time. Who’s to say they didn’t have women under their control using drugs and supplying Hastings, Dickerson and Aikens with little honeys to have their way with. Dig deeper into those fake emails and see if you get any indication of anything that might look like code. I have a feeling the boys weren’t playing poker in Hastings basement. I kind of think they may have been playing ‘poke HER in his basement instead. Whatever they were doing, I have to believe it wasn’t legal or on the up and up. Clay is going to have to be careful with this one. If he blows the lid off this, he could be in danger. We need to find out more information, Garth. Excellent find, by the way. You did great. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t have discovered hardly any of this shit going on with these guys,” I told him. He was all smiles.

“So when are you and Jake going to fuck me to reward me for all this espionage?” Garth asked. Jake and I looked at each other somewhat surprised and shocked, then chuckled.

“Seriously? You have the best dick in town with Dylan, and you want our lousy dicks up your ass?” I asked, jokingly. He was all smiles.

“Nothing lousy from what I’ve seen. They look kind of hot to me. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love Dylan and everything, but it’s been said around here, you don’t really count until you’ve had Jake and your dick up one’s ass,” Garth replied.

“That’s pure bullshit. You counted from the second we met you. Who would tell you something stupid like that?” I asked, somewhat concerned any of our guys would make such a statement. Garth smiled, then looked at Dylan. Dylan looked guilty as hell. “Dylan, you didn’t,” I replied, somewhat shocked Dylan could ever say such a thing. He looked guilty as hell.

“Well, he was getting a little uppity, coming up with all this great information for the state AG’s office and you guys, feeding Clay exclusive information for his newscasts, and it was starting to interfere with our sex life. We’d be going at it, and he’d come up with an idea as to where to look for something next. He’s always thinking about those damn emails instead of our hot sex we have going on, so I had to cut him down a peg of two,” Dylan explained, making Jake and I shake our heads, not to mention Blake.

“Garth, come here,” I told him. He moved closer to me. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly. “We love all of you just the same. You don’t need Jake and I for sex to feel like you count or belong here, because we care about you just as much as any of the rest of the guys. I mean, if you really feel the need for sex with us, then we’re available, but seriously you and Dylan are a fantastic couple and really care about one another. Do you realize he gave up a UPS guy with butt crack and everything for you? It’s true. Dylan was always there in the construction trailer when the guy came in just to see his butt crack peek out of his shorts when he bent over to stack the delivery boxes on the floor. He even invited him over to play video games one evening, but they never had sex. Now that you’re here, Dylan never sees the guy or talks to him during his deliveries. The poor guy is lost, thinking Dylan fell out of love with him because of you, which is really what happened,” I explained. “No, our Dylan thinks you hung the moon, Garth. At least you really nailed some pretty big assholes making you one of the most important guys in our family and one that we’re looking forward to having as a shareholder for life. Not to mention you’re already in charge of our IT division. I mean if you want a good fucking, we can arrange that, but I kind of think you have the best in Dylan here. I know you’ve made him happy,” I told him as I hugged him.

“I get it. Still, I wouldn’t mind sharing a little passion with you and Jake sometime, Josh, Dylan says there’s nothing like it,” Garth replied. “I think he ought to know as he said it was the most loving feeling he’d ever had in his entire life when that first happened,” Garth replied.

“That’s because he had just gotten out of jail and was spared prison time for hooking on the streets. We loved him alright, and love him even more now. Dylan is a winner just like you, only each of our guys is a winner in different ways, which is what makes us so successful. Dylan is awesome in certain ways, and Garth is awesome at finding information and structuring our new IT department. I’d say Jake, Blake, me and all the rest of the guys involved with Stoney Enterprises is awesome the way we care about one another and work together,” I told him.

“I could feel that the first day I met you guys. I thought, wow, this is where I need to be someday, especially if Dylan loves you guys,” Garth replied. “Now, about that ass fucking?”


 
Fantastic chapter FT.

Nice to hear from Garth and Dylan again. No wonder Aikens didn't want Clay to investigate the Dickerson and Hastings matters. He was concerned Clay would find out that he enjoyed watersports with Dickerson and Hastings and didn't want it covered in the 6 o'clock news. Since Aikens treated Clay so nasty Clay might show Aikens perp walk when the story gets investigated to the fullest and all of the facts are known. From what Garth said Aikens can even be connected back to Simon & Spence having to deal with all of the ladies they hired and drugs they were selling.

I can't believe Dylan got jealous of Garth and told him that story of not really counting until Jake or Josh had their dick up his ass. Dylan of all people should know how big Jake's and Josh's hearts are and know how much they love him and everyone at SE. I had to laugh when Garth asked Jake and Josh about the ass fucking so could be among the "counted" like Dylan!! Have to love Dylan even when he wants to be a trouble maker.

Tyler got a bit freaked out knowing Josh told Jake nearly everything they did but calmed down after Jake told him all was good between them and that if he needed to the edge off it was OK if Josh helped him out.

There was a lot happening in this chapter and I may not have mentioned everything. I hope my bros fill in anything I missed.

I'm excited for the next installment Wednesday night.

Great work, FT. :=D:

I agree with Brian it was nice to hear from Garth and finally connecting Aikens with Dickerson, and all of the others.

Anyway, Brian summarized it well but forgot the UPS guy, as Dylan apparently :lol:

Can't wait for the next chapter, as it seems there may be some "ass fucking", according to how this ended and to Garth's wishes :corn:

As always, great work ..| so keep it coming FT, keep it cumming ..|
 
Brian and Thantos are spot on. This chapter was full of interesting information and fun. I can only imagine how Tyler was cringing at the thought of Jake knowing he nailed his boyfriend and not expecting to pay the price. He probably thought he was going to have to clean his shorts before Jake got through with him. I could feel his nervousness from his guilt for what he did, having to face Jake and man up. All was well, however in the end. Jake was straight with Tyler, telling him he did need help during his efforts to discover who he really is. He knew Josh was the best guy for the job and how much the two liked one another. Jake is one trusting soul for sure. I'm sure Tyler did gain a greater appreciation for Jake after that conversation. Jake vouched for him during the meeting showing an act of support, which further bolstered Tyler's confidence. Tyler has to be excited invited to work with the senior echelon of SE with Jake, Josh, Blake and Will. He has to feel special for that opportunity, I would think. There was some great stuff about character that came out in that meeting.

Great news about the merger. How about that? Makes perfect sense and Kyle needs the help, which will only help Todd and Chad also. I like that idea. They'll make a good team. Any bets on how long it will take for Kyle to be introduced to Todd's big dick??? Can we expect something like that happening, FT? I mean surely the three of them need to have some sort of initiation into their new company. I mean take a lesson from Josh on initiations. Why not? Great plan overall.

Ah, the poor UPS guy, ditched by Dylan, butt crack and all. Garth banished the poor guy when he took up sleeping with Dylan, who can be quite a character. Gotta love Dylan. Who knows what he was trying to do telling Garth you don't matter until you've been poked by the important dicks. I think Josh straightened him out on that. Hopefully, anyway, but it might be nice to read about a butt fucking for sure.

The big story is the linking of Aikens to the bad boys. Garth needs to dig deep to see what he can uncover. Like Brian said, it would be poetic justice to have Clay cover Aikens being hauled out of the TV station in handcuffs for his crimes. Can't wait to see if that happens.

As always, ever chapter is full of great stuff, FT. Don't know how you do it chapter after chapter, but our characters are fascinating the way the work and play together. It all flows so well, just like we're right there with them. Don't know how many guys start from scratch at chapter one these days, but would love to hear from them to see what they think about the early days of these boy's lives. It's fun to reminisce. Staring from scratch may be a little intimidating seeing as there are over 600 chapters now, and they aren't short. The good thing is you don't have to wait for the next one like we do. Bring it on, FT. BC
 
Brian, Thanatos and BC have covered the events of this chapter fully. And there was certainly a lot in it!

FT, I liked how you gave Jake more of a voice in this chapter. I think I've commented before that we don't really hear that much from Jake much of the time, and it'd be great to hear him piping up more, both as SE's COO and as Josh's life partner.

Naturally, I'm looking forward eagerly to the next chapter, perhaps starting with a bit of lovin for Garth? Can't wait.

A quick quiz for the bros before I finish. Does anyone remember the UPS guy's name? (I didn't, but I managed to find it.)

Cheers, HF
 
The Fab Four (Brian, Thanatos, BC, and HF) have hit a home run covering all the bases, again. I trust that everyone else is still with us, too! (group)

Here's a Bent thought for y'all ... BC and FT are both in Chazville (Charleston). Given all of the fantastic, glowing, thorough reviews that BC always authors, what are the odds that BC and FT are the same? Huh??? :eek:

I'm pretty sure that's not the case (maybe) because their writing styles are a bit different. Besides, FT definitely deserves all the praises we can offer. (ww) :=D: ..|

SO ... Gotta have MORE Please!! :gogirl: (*8*) :kiss:
Chaz :luv:

P.S.
No, HF, I don't remember the UPS guy's name, nor am I gonna look it up. However, I'm pretty sure I know what color he wears most often! :lol:
 
As always some great comments by everyone. Gees, Chaz, I'm very flattered you might think BC and I are one in the same. Not sure he would be, but thank you anyway. If I was BC, I wouldn't have anytime to write as many pictures as he posts in so many threads on JUB. Very enjoyable, but I would think it would take hours per day to do all those postings. You must really enjoy that BC, and I have to admit, they are sexy as hell to look at. HF seems to be busy in that area also, and you used to be, Chaz? What'd you do, retire from that activity?

I was inspired by your thoughts about Jake not being as visible lately and forward in helping Josh deal with personal and business activities. I'm glad you like the way he has emerged into a more active role. Jake was always there for Josh, but I may have missed opportunities to let him shine. She, you all do help shape the story. We all love Jake and he couldn't be more supportive of Josh. We may see him take a more aggressive role in the future, which I believe is what you were telling me we needed.

This next chapter was probably not what you were expecting after the end of this last chapter. It was kind of a tough one for me in ways in dealing with Hal's situation. I think it was needed to show how close the boys are and how appreciative they are for those that have helped them and they've come to care about. Anyway, it is what it is. I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week and with any luck, I'll be back to you on Saturday. In the meantime, stay healthy, safe and happy. Huggs, FT
 
Chapter 604 – A Sad Meeting With Hal and A Beginning of a New Company


We were all excited about Garth finding the link between Dickerson and Aikens. We knew they had some kind of relationship, as Dickerson had hired Aikens to run the news department at Live 5 News, the university’s television station run by the journalism school. We just didn’t know what that relationship was. We still didn’t know the whole story, but we now knew there was more than poker going on in Hasting’s basement. We knew about the water sports with Hastings and Dickerson, but didn’t know Aikens was involved in any of that. Garth was going to research this further to see if he could find out more and look for code words and possible other connections to possibly Weinstein and Seward. We did know one thing, and that was Aikens was being very protective of Dickerson, scrutinizing almost everything Clay was reporting, trying to thwart every effort to incriminate Dickerson. We assumed that went for Hastings as well.

We got a kick out of Garth thinking he wasn’t really in our family until he’d had sex with Jake and me. Dylan was messing with his mind, obviously. I wasn’t sure if Garth was serious about what he believed or just horny, trying to see if we’d take him and Dylan on. Dylan told him good things came in time and not to press us for sex tonight, of all things, as he wanted Garth to himself after their special find. I told Garth and Dylan we’d be happy to tap their hot skinny asses sometime when we had more time, but we had classes in the morning and we all knew sex with these two horndogs would require some time. They knew it also.

While we may not have entertained Dylan and Garth, Jake and I were quite involved entertaining each other. We were all over one another ending up hot and sweaty and covered in male semen to the point we had to shower off afterwards. “I think we outdid ourselves tonight,” Jake told me, as I turned on the single shower post for us to clean up. His cock was still half hard at the time, as was mine. I leaned down to suck the last drop of his ball nectar from that hot cock of his, then ran my tongue over his balls for shits and giggles. “Wow, that does feel good. Careful, you’ll get me all excited again, and then you know what happens then,” he teased. I kissed him rather passionately at that point.

“I don’t think we can ever outdo ourselves, Jake. We just can’t help ourselves. It was meant to be. I believe that with all my heart,” I told him after our passionate kiss.

“Do you think we’re too good to our friends in the way we have sex with them?” Jake asked, thinking about it.

“What do you think? I love how we can share our love with them physically as long as it doesn’t get out of hand. I don’t think it has, do you?” I asked, thoughtfully.

“No, and I like it too. It’s like really showing them they’re loved more than just a hug type of thing. I don’t think anyone reads any more into it than that. They know we’re solid. Terry might think he’s at least number two in my life, although I’m not so sure, but it makes him happy to think we’re more than just gymnastics partners. I think Tyler believes he’s in love with you, but I think that will change the more experience he has with you. He may want that with someone else exclusively sometime. I guess we’re good with the limited amount of physical love we give our friends. You know we have to do Dylan and Garth before he gets jealous that he hasn’t slept with us. That’s okay as that skinny ass of his looks kind of hot, even though he’s kind of geeky. And who doesn’t love tapping Dylan’s hot ass. It’s been a while since we’ve taken care of him,” Jake mentioned.

“Somehow, I think having some fun with our friends just makes us feel that much closer to each other, Jake. I think it really does. The sex I had with Tyler was hot, but nothing like the sex I have with you, because he’s not you. The fact that I love you more than anything makes it that much more meaningful and powerful when we share our bodies with one another. It feels like it anyway,” I told him sincerely. I got a big hug for that one, and damn near got fucked again with that gorgeous cock of his.

“Do you ever worry about falling for someone else after having sex with them, like you cared about them, then maybe fell into a more powerful love than what you and I have?” Jake asked rather seriously. I shook my head.

“No, because I don’t think it could ever happen. Have you ever felt that way about Terry? I asked. Jake smiled.

“Nah, he’s more like a brother to me. I guess you could say a brother with benefits. Don’t get me wrong, as you’ve been there many times also, he’s hot and got a fantastic body, but he’s not you, Josh. You’re everything to me,” Jake told me, then hugged me tightly again as the water pelted our bare skin.

“Then why did you ask that question?” I had to ask. He smiled.

“Well, you were in love with Andy when you met me and broke me in, remember. I felt guilty like I caused you to cheat on Andy or something. I guess maybe I might always be a little concerned that someone else might come along, capture your heart, so to speak, then I lose you like Andy lost you,” Jake replied, somewhat emotionally.

“Jake, that can’t happen. Andy and I were losing each other at the time. I think we both knew that. You were there. You saw it happen. He was intrigued by Ashton who you were fucking just to be near to me. I was so glad to have you in my life because I could feel Andy slipping away from me. Andy had some hangups after dating Jerome for as long as he did. We all know how fucked up Jerome was and still is. He had an abusive relationship with Jerome, which I had to rescue him from. He loved me for saving him from Jerome, but once he had his self-confidence restored, he didn’t need me anymore. Yes, we still care about one another, but honestly, as strange and crazy as Trevor is, he keeps Andy happy. I moved too fast for Andy. I had too much going on and was ambitious. True, it was Andy and his brother Tony that got me started with the CNB in the City, which is before I met you, actually. But they didn’t know what they were doing, and I had to jump in there and make things happen, including financing the thing and negotiating a lease. Then I met Stoney and things got a little crazy after that. Look at us now. Andy could have never withstood all that action taking place. You’ve been the perfect partner all the way, Jake. I couldn’t have done any of this without you. We compliment each other. I believe it was fate, you coming to the farm to visit me and us making love. We both knew there was a connection there between us that needed developed. What you and I have is so wonderful, it just can’t be matched by anyone else. I really believe that. So, I guess we’ll just have to put up with each other and suffer through all this craziness,” I told him, as I hugged him tightly.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Jake told me, then kissed me passionately again, our dicks swelling between us one more time. “Damn, Josh, you gave me another boner. My dick can’t take anymore tonight,” Jake complained. I laughed, but mine was right there with him. I told him we needed to dry off and get some sleep.

We awoke Tuesday morning in each other’s arms, our morning wood up against each other, giving us a little thrill. I had to chuckle. “Well my dick is ready to go, but my balls say otherwise,” I chided. Jake said he totally agreed, as we kissed each other good morning. Jake and I took our time, enjoying each other’s touch and light intimacy we shared. I ran my hand over his smooth ass and enjoyed the silkiness of his skin which covered his powerful muscles. The warmth of his body up against mine made me feel so loved by my guy. I played with the ass hairs in his ass crack, at one point making him giggle, but he was doing the same to me at the time.

“Hey, babe, will you still love me after I shave my legs Thursday night?” I whispered in his ear, as I nibbled on his ear lobe. He stopped all of a sudden with his caressing my back.

“You want to do what?” he asked, somewhat concerned.

“Ethan, Zach, Aiden and I have to shave our legs, and any chest hairs, not that I have any significant chest hair, for our swim team match on Friday afternoon. We’re going to have a shaving party on Thursday night. You’re welcome to come if you want,” I told him.

“I completely forgot about you having to do that. Ugh. Oh well, you’ll be a little different, maybe a little less manly, but I can handle that as long as you don’t shave off your dick, because that belongs in my ass,” he replied. I had to chuckle, then told him there was no chance of that ever happening.

“Hey, as involved as we were last night having sex, I didn’t get the chance to tell you, how proud I was of what you did with Tyler, defending him in the meeting and your talk with him afterwards. Tyler was scared to death you were going to hate him and maybe physically abuse him. He came away knowing why I love you so much. I think you gained a big fan last night,” I told Jake. Jake chuckled.

“He’s a good guy. He’s lost right now, Josh. Hey, I went through some of that after we first had sex at your farm in your childhood bed. You introduced me to a whole new world. I was scared to death about my family finding out about me and any friends I had. I didn’t know Terry was in a relationship at the time, as he seemed perfectly straight to me. I thought I was all by myself, thinking I was gay and maybe there were only a handful like me in the world, mainly those that revolved around you. The more time I spent with you, Andy, Ashton, and even Allen and OBB, the more comfortable I felt about being a part of a larger group of people that really cared. It was scary at first, Josh. I’m not going to lie. Tyler saw firsthand, what Tink went through, and he’s still scared to death of how that’s going to go over with his family when Tink comes out. Now that he knows he might have the same feelings, he has to be petrified of anyone finding out. Tyler needs all the help he can get right now. I can identify with what he’s going through. He was the quarterback of his high school football team, the macho quarterback and captain. He has a reputation to live up to. Can you imagine his other teammates finding out he’s gay? It would be traumatic. Rod and Lonnie might disown him if they found out, although knowing us, and caring about us like they do, might make a difference there, but it’d be a game changer for sure. No, I meant what I said, when I told him you would help him. He needs help, Josh. He needs a lot of support to help him through this identity crisis. I know you’ll do a great job with him, and I’ll be there to support you both,” Jake promised. I kissed him over and over, breaking our morning rule of not kissing passionately until we at least brushed our teeth and used mouthwash. We did stop short of fucking, but our damn cocks were rock hard. We had to get ready for classes.

The morning flew by. Rod told me that Tyler was all excited about the meeting we had last night and his involvement in the project, when we met him for Marketing lab. I told him Tyler did a great job, and we were glad to have him on the Key West team. Rod said I needed to find a job for him and Lonnie, so they could stay involved. I told him he could work with the ladies on decorating. That went over like a lead balloon. He told me that function seemed like more of a job for Tink, since gay guys were more into decorating. Rod said he didn’t care what I needed him to do as long as he got to go to Florida with Mary Ann when she had to go there. I laughed, telling him he was definitely pussy whipped. He admitted it, but never wanted things to change. I pretty much told him he was hopeless.

“Tyler was real excited when he got home last night. He says he’s working with your senior staff on the project. What’s with that deal?” Rod asked.

“He is, actually. He’s working with Jake, Blake, our architect Buzz, Todd and Chad our construction company that’s building our dormitory and office building and involved in the Key West project also. Kyle is working with Todd and Chad on that effort too, as he’s going to be the front man on that project for construction. Will was there also as part of senior management,” I told him.

“Tyler says he was sworn to confidentiality for what goes on. Is that true? You trust him with confidential information? Really?” Rod asked, somewhat concerned.

“Why shouldn’t I?” I asked. Rod shrugged his shoulders.

“No reason, I guess, but what could be so confidential on this project?” Rod asked.

“Well, we discussed a side issue last night that remains confidential for now, but after today may not. There are just some things we need to keep under wraps until they need to be made public. That’s all. If he’s going to play with the big dawgs, he needs to learn when to speak and when not to,” I replied, to a confused Rod. He shook his head.

“Sounds like you think a lot of his ability to contribute to this project. You really like him, don’t you?” Rod asked.

“Tyler? I like Tyler as much as I like all of you, Rod, well maybe a little more because he’s not afraid to show his feelings and kiss me even,” I replied chucking.

“I knew it!” Rod said excitedly. “I guess if I want to stay in the game and close to you, I need to learn more how to pucker up,” Rod replied. I laughed, telling him I didn’t need that ugly mug of his kissing me for sure. “What, Tyler is so beautiful it’s okay to kiss him, but I’m not cute enough? Is that it?” he asked, making me laugh.

“I think I did give you a blow job one time, if I recall. I wouldn’t do that for just anyone, you know. I really have to care about you to stick your cock in my mouth, if you think about it,” I replied. He had to stop and think about that one.

“I can’t imagine another dude’s dick in my mouth. It just makes me shutter to even think about it. Although, in your case, I think you just wanted a taste of my cock. It was the best BJ I’ve ever had, bar none. I still get a boner thinking about it sometimes. Damn, that was nice. I guess we have been a little intimate if you put it that way. Well, you can suck my cock anytime if I don’t have to kiss you,” Rod chided. I slapped his ass for that one, telling him to get in line. He gave me a bro hug, telling me I was the best friend ever.

As we assembled for our luncheon meeting, I noticed Cam was missing. I asked where our boy wonder was. Nate said he and Jordan gave him the afternoon off to go sharpen his flying skills for his check ride tomorrow. Dale was going to put him through the paces for possibly taking all the tests tomorrow, if Dale thought he could handle them all. Nate said Cam said he could, so Dale was going to try to give him a thorough testing himself. Nate said Cam was going for the gold, plus Nate thought it’d be better if he wasn’t here today, given the nature of what we might be discussing. I kind of had a clue what Nate was referring to.

I asked Nate how things went at Hal’s place this morning. He didn’t look all that surprised. “Yeh, Kyle told me you were surprised that you didn’t know about them wanting to merge and me helping them out. I guess I should have told you, but I wasn’t sure they were that serious at the time, and didn’t really know it was going to happen until this morning when they asked me to attend their meeting. I was going to tell you all about it today if they were serious about doing it. And, I knew you’d want us to help them out so it could be set up right and in our best interests down the road. So, do I humbly ask your permission to put this together for them?” Nate asked. I smiled.

“Of course, and I’m proud of you for thinking about helping them out to make sure our best interests were maintained with this joint venture,” I replied. Nate said he knew I would, so he went ahead and put together a preliminary agreement between the parties. “So, how did it go? And, how did Hal look to you this morning?” I had to ask.

“Oh, Josh, Hal looked terrible, but he was trying to hang in there. Cam has his check ride tomorrow, then Hal is going to tell him about his illness when Cam comes over to share his joy about getting his pilot’s license. Kyle is beside himself worried about Hal and Cam. Kyle is such a sweetheart. Hal couldn’t have found a better successor than he found in Kyle. And Kyle will work well with Todd and Chad also. Those three were made for one another. It’s a perfect match,” Nate replied. Will said he thought so also. Jake and I had to agree, along with Blake.

“Having the two companies together as one is going to make it easier on me also,” Buzz informed us. “Now all I have to do is to communicate with one entity and not two. Plus, Richards has more updated software for estimating and putting material costs together. That’s going to save a lot of time,” Buzz added.

“Oh, and they’re even going to update that to some newer stuff compatible with what Woody has down in Key West, which will streamline this process even more. We talked about that this morning,” Nate commented. I gave him a strange look.

“What’d they do, put you on their new board, or what?” I asked, seeing how he seemed to be involved in their planning sessions as well as handling their merger for them. Nate gave me a sheepish smile.

“Do you think it’d be a conflict of interest if I was to serve as their legal counsel? They asked me if I could,” Nate informed us. I shook my head.

“Jordan, would it’d be a conflict for Nate to serve as their legal counsel, seeing as he is an employee and shareholder at SE?” I asked. Jordan smiled.

“Ah, possibly, but if he didn’t’ represent them in court, he might be able to give them legal advice if they needed it. We could handle their limited legal work and farm anything out to Baxter that might possibly be considered a conflict of interest. Their new company, TCK Construction Co, which stands for Todd, Chad and Kyle, in case you didn’t catch that, is so closely aligned with us, but there isn’t any equity position in them by us, so for the back office legal work we’d do for them, we could bill them for our time. It would keep us deeply involved in their business, which we need to determine if we want that or not. Right now, it’s kind of like we’re helping them out. If it becomes too much work for us, then we need to suggest they seek other counsel or hire their own attorney. Realistically, they will probably have to hire someone in the future if we all continue to grow like we are. Hell, we’re currently stretched about as far as we need to be stretched attorney wise. Cam is doing a lot of what you might call paralegal work for us right now, which he’s been terrific at. We should send him to law school. He’d probably ace the BAR exam,” Jordan replied. That wouldn’t have surprised me.

“So, Nate is going to basically ‘help out’ TCK Construction with their legal needs getting them by, and us billing them for our time? Is that what you guys are proposing?” I asked.

“You got it, unless you don’t want us to,” Jordan replied.

“You’re getting quite popular Nate, sitting on the board of Invescor and now helping out TCK Construction,” I commented.

“Well, actually the board meetings aren’t that frequent in Chicago now that Carson is in charge and Greer is on the board there also now, so we don’t have a lot of work to do with them anymore. I don’t have to help out TCK, but we just wanted to get them started off on the right foot,” Nate replied. “Didn’t mean to go behind your back, but we were going to tell you about what happened today, and then reassess our involvement and help.”

“I applaud your efforts, really. You guys know our mission, and it’s obvious to me, you believe in it also. No, I think what you’ve done and what you’re proposing to do is great. Also, if Cam can pass all his ratings tomorrow, that will be load off Hal’s mind for sure, knowing that’s all behind him when he tells Cam about his illness. You might have to let Cam off more in the near future to spend time with Hal. We can’t deny him that. He has to spend time with his father who loves him so much,” I told them.

“We’ve written him off for a couple of weeks, Josh. That kind of started today, as a matter of fact. He doesn’t know it yet, but we’ve divided his work up between all of us and even Ken and Jonas. We’ll get by. We need to start thinking about an upcoming funeral, as much as it pains me to say that,” Jordan informed us.

“I’m so proud of all you guys. I just love all of you so much. We take care of our own and anyone else we can help. You guys are the spirit of this company, and I couldn’t be more proud of all of you,” I told them. Nate said we should be drinking beer if we were going to get this emotional. I had to agree.

“Blake, I have to go see Kyle and Hal this afternoon. Do you think you could tell Bill at Real Estate class, I had an important meeting this afternoon I had to attend?” I asked Blake.

“Actually, I already told him the two of us wouldn’t be there this afternoon, but we’d explain it all to him later. I want to go with you to support Kyle, if you don’t mind,” Blake replied. I gave him a side hug.

“Honestly, I couldn’t love you all more than I love all of you right now. You are the most thoughtful corporate people in the world, I have to believe.,” I told them all. They all said to let them know if they needed to do anything else to help during this time. I assured them I would when the time came.

Blake and I headed off to Hal’s office after our meeting concluded. Blake said he texted Kyle we were on our way, and Kyle texted him back saying they’d be there. “Gees, I dread this meeting, Blake. We have to be strong for Kyle’s sake. He’s had so much trauma in his life, I just feel terrible for him. He’s finally on his feet, has a promising future and now this thing with Hal. I know it has to be killing him, but he seems to be handling everything well so far,” I told Blake.

“He is, but it gets to him also, Josh. I can’t tell you the times I’ve held him in my arms and he’s cried about the whole thing. He loves Hal like his own father. Cam was his childhood friend, and he’s just finally happy that Cam has his life back again. Both of them are pretty special in a way. I just wish they didn’t have to go through what’s coming at them. Hal is such a remarkable man also, who certainly doesn’t deserve what’s happening to him,” Blake replied.

“You’ve been great for Kyle, Blake. You really have. I’m so proud of you for being there to support him and comfort him. He’s such a great guy,” I told Blake.

“Hey, it’s nothing you wouldn’t do if you had the time, Josh. Besides, it’s had its advantages too. I’ve gotten to really know Kyle much better, spending time with him and sharing emotions together. We’ve become very close, and I’d be lying if I told you I didn’t really care about him. I do care deeply about him. I think he feels the same way about me. I’m taking it easy, as I don’t want my support for him during this crisis situation to be the main reason there is this love between us. Not saying we don’t have some extremely meaningful sex, mind you, as that’s been wonderful, but we’re somewhat guarded to let it get too carried away. I want any love between us to be real, and not a result of a traumatic experience, if you know what I mean,” Blake explained. I reached over and patted him on his thigh as we drove to Hal’s office.

“I totally understand, but I have to say it warms my heart the two of you care about one another the way you do. He needs someone real in his life that really cares about him. That Kenny guy almost destroyed his belief in love. I wish we could find that dude and give him a piece of our minds,” I replied. Blake said he’d love to find him too, in order to tell him what a fool he was, giving up this wonderful, decent, warm loving guy that he defrauded for personal gain. Blake couldn’t believe a guy could do that to another guy. I reminded Blake it took all kinds, and we had our share of them.

We pulled up to Richards Development Co, and went into the office. The offices weren’t very large, connected to a larger building that housed equipment storage and had a small workshop to do custom millwork and assemble other materials, plus a warehouse for materials. It was a neat little setup, much different from the sheds that Todd and Chad had at their place out in the country. A receptionist/bookkeeper type older lady welcomed us, knowing who we were. “Mr. Kyle said you two would be coming and to bring you into our small conference room when you arrived. I think Mr. Hal and Mr. Kyle are in there already. Don’t be surprised when you see Mr. Hal. He’s not good at all. Breaks my heart to see him like this. Just makes me want to cry every time I see him. Such a shame,” she said, trying not to get too emotional.

Hal and Kyle had a small conference room between their two offices. When we walked in, they stood up to greet us. I was totally shocked to see Hal. He looked like a skeleton to me. I almost cried, knowing what a great distinguished looking older man he was before he got sick. He gave me a hug, patting me on the back.

“Sorry you had to see me like this, Josh. Can’t say I like being this way, but I don’t seem to have much choice,” he said in a feeble voice. I didn’t want to let him go, I felt so sorry for him.

“That’s okay, Hal. You’ll always be the same to me as the day I first met you,” I told him. Blake got a hug from him also, then Kyle held onto Blake.

“Hal, this is Blake, one of Josh’s top guys. I’m sure you might have met him before, but wasn’t sure if you remembered him or not. He’s been a trooper helping me through things and supporting me,” Kyle told Hal. Hal said he’d heard a lot about Blake and was so glad he and Kyle were such close friends. Hal invited us to sit down.

“You know, Josh, I love Kyle as if he was my own son. I might as well have two sons, as close as we’ve become. His father and I were great friends, bless his soul. I hope to see him soon, if the good Lord will take me upstairs,” Hal joked. “Kyle’s dad and I did a lot of projects together, but we were never partners. Guess we should have done what Kyle is fixing to do, like merge companies. I wanted to let you know that I totally approve of what we’re about to do here, merging with Todd and Chad’s company. They are really upstanding young men who’ve done a great job. I can remember when they only had a small pickup truck and were just doing decks or small additions on houses. Now look at them. They’re practically the largest construction company in the state. Kyle will do extremely well being part of them. I don’t have to worry about how he’ll get along when I’m gone,” Hal explained.

“Well I hope you don’t plan on checking out anytime soon. We’d like to keep you around as long as possible,” I told him. He smiled.

“I don’t think I have much say in that, Josh, unfortunately. They’re going to start me on Hospice very soon, then I guess it’s only a matter of time. But they say I will be comfortable and not have any pain. I guess they’re going to give me the good drugs for this experience,” he joked. I wanted to cry, and Hal was joking with us. I admired him so much for his courage.

“Well just try not to like those drugs too much,” I jokingly said, trying to keep up with him. He laughed, saying like that wouldn’t matter anyway.

“Josh, I wanted to tell you what a wonderful person I think you are. I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for Cameron. He is so happy and full of life these days. He loves working for you, and he couldn’t be more excited about getting his pilot’s license. He’s almost ecstatic. You’ve done wonders for him. I credit you and your guys with saving his life. He has meaning and purpose in his life for the first time in years. What a difference that makes. I hear he’s kind of sweet on his flight instructor also, which I hope he finds love in his heart for someone. At least I lived long enough to see my boy grow up to be a happy adult male. I can’t thank you enough for all the great things you’ve done saving his life. I can’t begin to thank you for what you’ve done,” Hal said with heartfelt thanks.

“Hey, it was easy, Hal. He’s such a loving guy. We all love him, which restored his happiness. Putting Spencer and Simon behind bars didn’t hurt matters any either. They’re finally where they need to be. In fact, I remember that day when they tried to take Kyle’s land by force when they were arrested. Cam stepped in front of Kyle to take their first blow, but Lucky took them to the ground. I saw Cam smile for the first time ever. That day turned the corner for him,” I reminded him.

“It did, and then every day after that we saw an improvement. You guys loved him, and that love made him the happy productive young man he is today. I am so relieved to see him the way I always envisioned him,” Hal commented. “Oh, and by the way, I understand you had something to do with saving Kyle also. Not that I’m supposed to know this, but I understand you arranged for the money to pay off Kyle’s note that saved him from foreclosure,” Hal said, winking at Kyle. I gave Hal a surprised look.

“Sorry, Josh. I couldn’t let Hal leave us, and not know the single most wonderful thing that’s ever happened to me in my life, go unnoticed. Hal cried when I told him that. You not only saved Cam’s life, but you saved my life also, then Hal adopted me, so to speak. I had to tell Hal, I didn’t find a company to bail me out, but you did that for me. It was your goodwill that saved my sorry ass,” Kyle confessed. I looked at him and shook my head.

“Don’t worry, Josh. I’ll take your secret to my grave. Literally,” Hal replied. I wanted to cry. “Kyle couldn’t’ stand the accolades I lauded on him for figuring out a way to bring down Weinstein, Seward, Hastings and even Dickerson, who I had no idea was involved at the time. He said he felt guilty taking all the praise for that, when it was your idea and you orchestrated it all. He said he just did what you asked him to do, and it all worked out the way it was meant to be. Now that was genius, Josh. You are one sharp guy for sure. I feel perfectly comfortable leaving this world knowing Cameron and Kyle are in great hands,” Hal explained. I shook my head.

“Hey, it was pretty slick, if I do say so myself, but it took all of us and a lot of people to make it all work. Kyle was a trooper in bringing those guys down. And, it paid off big time also. There were a lot of hands that worked together to bring those assholes down. There’s still more work happening behind the scenes now to put them away for a long time, just so you know,” I told him.

“Well, I’m sure they’ll get their just rewards sooner or later. Don’t think I’ll be running into any of them upstairs, so Kyle’s father and I won’t have to put up with their bullshit after we’re gone. Keep stepping on their dicks and don’t let up, then send them off to hell when you’re done dicking with them, if you will,” Hal joked. I told him we’d do our best.

“Is there anything that we can do to help you with anything while you’re still around and with us?” I asked, wanting him to know we were all there to support him in any way we could. Hal got serious finally.

“Josh, just continue to love and support Cameron like you have been. Watch over him and guide him when he needs guidance. I’ve left him a substantial amount of money as part of this merger deal, so he’s in good shape financially, not that he ever needs to worry about that working with you guys. Still, he’s good to go. His mother is well taken care of. Her sister is moving in with her at our home, having lost her husband also. They’ll be fine and won’t pester Cameron too much, although he needs to see her occasionally, just not too often as they tend to dote over him. He doesn’t need doting. Cameron can invest in SE since you’ve offered to let him become a shareholder, so he has plenty of money to invest with you guys which should help you with capital, not that you seem to need much with all the things you’re doing. Help him in that regard, if you would please. My new son Kyle will be fine with Todd and Chad and working with you guys. He’s got plenty of money of his own now, thanks to you, so he’s good. Blake, I know you’ll watch after him and support him however you can along with Josh and the rest of his guys. Everyone should be fine. I leave this earth knowing all is good. I’ve done what I set out to accomplish, even getting the new science building project for the new company, thanks to you, Josh. How’s that for getting everything I set out to do?” Hal asked. “I’m good to go,” he added.

“Just promise you’ll stay around as long as you can, Hal. We might have questions we need answers for,” I told him.

“I think you guys do a damn good job of answering your own questions, Josh. You don’t need my help for sure. Besides, I’ll be checking on you when I’m topside, me and Kyle’s dad. We have to see what great things you guys will all be doing,” Hal commented. “I hate to leave you guys, but I have one last appointment with my doctor in his office. Kyle has graciously offered to take me there. I have to have enough strength for tomorrow to hear my son tell me all about his new pilot licenses. I’m getting some kind of vitamin booster shot to get me through it. One thing about this cancer is it makes you extremely weak. I have a hard time getting around, but I am going to wrap my arms around Cameron tomorrow, and tell him how proud I am of him. That has to happen,” Hal said, as he struggled to stand up. Kyle jumped in and helped him up. He stuck out his hands to hug me, once on his feet. I couldn’t help but break down and cry. “Josh, don’t be sad. I lived a good life, Thanks to you, I’m blessed to have my son healed and happy. I think he’ll weather my passing okay with all of you to support him. I leave you all a happy person that has nothing but love for all of you. So don’t be sad. I don’t want any crying at my funeral either. You guys drink beer and have a good time. Promise me that,” Hal explained. I hugged him tightly, not wanting to let him go. “There, there, now. Let’s see a big smile, and get rid of those tears,” Hal said, pushing me back a bit, and wiping the tears from my eyes with his thumbs, as I had often done for those I loved. Kyle and Blake had tears in their eyes also. “What’s with you guys?” Hal chided. “I’m not dead yet. I’m still here, and I want to see happy, smiley faces, not tears. Buck up and smile for me,” he said, making us all smile, amazed at the courage he seemed to have. Hal gave Blake a quick hug also, telling Blake to look after Kyle. Blake promised he would.

We followed them out to Kyle’s pickup truck and helped Hal get in. We closed his door, then Kyle hugged both Blake and me, thanking us for coming over to see Hal, as it meant the world to both of them. We waved goodbye to Hal as they pulled out of the parking lot, then Blake and I hugged one another in tears for what we just experienced. We finally wiped the tears from each other’s eyes, then got in my Jeep.

“That was a tough one, Blake. But, I have to say, that man has more courage than I think I could ever have, facing what he’s facing. Poor Stoney was the same way right before he passed. It just killed me to see him that way. Hal is no exception. I know it’s part of the cycle of life, but damn, is it ever hard when a life leaves us. We all have to face it someday, but we hope it’s when we’re too old to care, not when we’re still young enough to be viable,” I told Blake.

“I went through this with my grandparents, Josh. You’re right, it hurts like hell. Still somehow, we learn to accept it and move on. Kyle is so strong and so loving, having gone through this with his father, but having to do it again with Hal, I don’t know how he does it. God, I love him so much. He’s the sweetest most thoughtful, just wonderful guy ever. Do you mind if I spend the nights with him until we get him over this?” Blake asked.

“Blake, move in with him if you want. You do whatever your heart tells you to do. I’ll support whatever you think is best. I’ll miss you, but I know what you need to do, and that’s all that’s important at the moment,” I told him. He leaned over to hug me and give me a kiss on the cheek while I was driving.

We got back to the bar in time to go to swim practice. Zach said I looked like I’d seen a ghost as we took off for the Natatorium. I told him where Blake and I had gone this afternoon. Zach said he was so sorry. He said nothing hurt as much as when he lost his mother. He said that ripped him up inside so bad he could hardly stand it. He said it still bothered him today. That, and the fact his father rejected him bothered him. I had to stop and hug him.

“You are so loved by all of us, Zach. You always will be. Those that really know you can’t help but love you, so piss on the rest of the people that can’t see the beauty in you, as it couldn’t be more beautiful, and no one could ask for a greater friend and someone to love,” I told him in a tight hug, with my cheek up against his.

“Thanks, Josh. I know you and the guys love me, which has enriched my life and made me happy despite the treatment my dad gave me. I’m good because of you, Jake, Brady and all the guys, well maybe except for Ethan which I need to put over my lap, bare his ass and spank him if he doesn’t get his shit together,” Zach replied, making me laugh.

“You and me both. But, I will say, you’ve been very direct with him. I just hope he listens,” I replied.

“Hey, I’m coming over Thursday night for the shaving party,” Andy informed us as we all got naked to change into our trunks at our lockers. “I don’t trust Trevor to shave the backs of my legs, if you can imagine,” Andy stated. I told him, that was totally understandable. “Oh, and Les may come also, after he heard we were doing this together. He kind of invited himself. I told him he had to behave if he came. He said he hoped it’d turn into an orgy with several guys fucking his ass. I told him we were there to shave, not for sex. He said all of us being naked and shaving one another, might make us horny enough to turn it into an orgy. I told him if he was expecting something like that, and couldn’t behave, then he needed to get Brian to shave the backs of his legs. Now he says, he’ll behave, but you might have to warn him, Josh,” Andy commented. I was sure we’d have to warn Les, as horny as he’d be with all of us naked and touching each other. I told Andy, I’d need his help controlling Les. Andy said he’d help, but it might take more than him.

We did some strenuous practicing, knowing we had to be ready for the meet on Friday. Although it was only a scrimmage, there were state officials there to classify our strength, sharing that information state wide. We needed to look good. Drew showed us our times, saying we needed to step it up just a bit, and we should be good. I knew he was just trying to push us some, as from what I saw, I knew we were okay. Still, it would be nice to do better. I wasn’t quite back to the record I set last year, and I damn sure needed to be there, or better, this year. I knew Max wanted his title back, and I wasn’t about to let him have it if I could help it.

Kyle joined Blake and me for an afterwork beer, agreeing to stay for dinner. He looked beat. “How did Hal’s doctor visit go?” I asked Kyle, although I was sure he hardly wanted to talk about it, but what else do you ask about when you’re taking care of your great friend?

“Okay, I guess. He gave Hal a shot of something he said would give him extra energy for a couple of days at least. He wants to have enough energy to praise Cam for getting his pilot’s licenses. Thank you guys so much for coming over this afternoon. That meant the world to Hal. He couldn’t stop singing all our praises after you left and we went to see his doctor. He says he has absolutely no concerns at all about anything we set our minds to do. He’s totally comfortable with everything. He really cares about you, Josh. Afterall, you really did save Cam’s and my life. You know you did. Hal knows it too,” Kyle told us.

“I can’t believe you told him about the loan we arranged for you to bail you out. I’m not upset, because I understand why you did it. I’m sure he wouldn’t tell anyone, Kyle,” I remarked.

“Josh, I wasn’t letting that man leave this planet without knowing what a wonderful thing you did for me that absolutely saved my ass. Oh, and he couldn’t believe how all the pieces fell together that took down Weinstein, Seward, Hastings and Dickerson. He thinks you’re a genius for sure,” Kyle told us.

“You know, we weren’t sure how those pieces were going to fall. We knew we had to save you, but we didn’t know the extent of the fallout, which miraculously turned out to be pretty damned good, when you think about it. And it hasn’t finished yet. There is still more to come,” I commented.

“I can’t even imagine what’s next, but I’m out of it at least,” Kyle replied.

“Did you get everything worked out with the merger situation with Todd, Chad? I heard Nate was involved too,” I asked. Kyle smiled for the first time today.

“Yes, Nate says it’s an easy deal to put together. We should have the deal inked by the end of the week. With all the money I had left over, plus the assets of Richards Development Co., I had too much to put into the company. Todd and Chad said if we wanted to have equal partnerships, a third, a third and a third, I couldn’t put that much money into it. Not sure what to do with the rest, but Nate said I should invest it, then if we need capital for any of our projects, I can lend it to the new partnership at a low interest rate to use as operating capital, but then the company would have to pay me back with interest when we got paid for the project. I could charge less interest than if we borrowed it from the bank, saving us all a bunch of money. I tell you, I really admire Nate. He’s one smart guy and he really knows his stuff,” Kyle commented.

“He is smart and hot too. You got to see him naked during Spring Break, didn’t you?” I asked.

“I guess I did, but I didn’t pay that much attention to him then, as I really didn’t know your corporate guys. We were all dressed during the meeting most of the day, just naked after we got done. We all left early the next day, so there wasn’t much chance to socialize naked, I guess,” Kyle said, chuckling. “I wonder if we can plan a retreat like that for our little company sometime,” Kyle remarked. I chuckled.

“Sure you can. You guys can go to the PF anytime you want, or hell, you need to check out the new one since you’re building it. What the hell?” I replied. I actually got Kyle to chuckle. He wasn’t as depressed as he’d been when he first arrived.

“Just be careful of Todd if you get naked with those guys, as he has a big stick between his legs, I hope to tell you. He wasn’t kidding about that last night. Still, it’s manageable and it’s nice. That boy is fit doing the kind of work he does. Chad is also, only not as large as Todd between the legs. Still, he’s got a great body and a wonderful personality. Those two were just meant to be together. They argue with each other occasionally which is actually quite comical, but the outcome is nothing less than fantastic. They are two of the greatest guys you’d ever want to work with. Another guy you need to meet is Jim, the guy we put in business as a painting contractor. He’s a stud too. He and Devin, the electrician, are kind of a couple. Sandy works for Devin and is his roommate also. He brings girls home with him, fucks them, then kicks them out and jumps in bed with Devin and Jim. He loves fucking girls, but then doesn’t want to have anything to do with them afterwards, and makes them leave, or he leaves them and joins Devin and Jim when Jim is there. He fucks them also. Sandy is one fucking machine, and he doesn’t care if it’s pussy or boy ass, as long as it makes his big dick cum and cum hard. He’s a real character. But you need to meet Jim, as he does all that painting for Todd and Chad now. We should probably talk to him about taking care of us in Key West, getting our paint wholesale. I’ll leave that up to you guys. That’s your department,” I told Kyle, making him smile and get excited at the same time.

“I can’t thank you enough for letting me head up the project in Florida for you. I’m looking forward to that and meeting Woody when he comes up for our first meeting. I want to meet Stanley also, as you’ve told us some good things about him, and he works for you, doesn’t he?” Kyle asked.

“Yes he does. He’s our project leader for our company to oversee Woody’s company, but you oversee what Woody is doing also, and talk to Stanley at the same time. Stanley is our eyes on what Woody is doing coordinating the day to day stuff,” I explained. Kyle said he couldn’t wait to meet all these players.

Jake came and joined us, just getting back from gymnastics. “Where’s your harem?” I chided. Jake looked at me kind of funny. I laughed. “Your harem, Terry and Johan,” I teased. He laughed.

“Oh, I gave them the night off, seeing as how we’re going to work them hard tomorrow night,” Jake chided. “Besides, I told them you wore me out last night. I had all I could take,” he joked. Blake and Kye smiled.

Will showed up a few minutes later. “Hey, sit down and have a beer, buddy. Anything interesting happen since lunch?” I asked. Will smiled.

“Got three appointments set up between Thursday and Friday with interested management companies. The ball is rolling. All Kyle, Todd and Chad have to do is get the building ready to lease,” Will stated, making us all smile. “I did hear a little bit of disturbing news, however,” Will said, grabbing our attention. “Nate and Jordan have the financing package complete for none other than Jules to present to this bank in Chicago you wanted him to present it to. I guess Jordan and Nate worked out something with the AG’s office to put this together. Supposedly Jules is coming here on Thursday to meet with Jordan and Nate. Needless to say, Josh, I don’t want to be there to see him when that happens,” Will said, rather determined. “Would you mind if I had my meetings in your office here in the CNB for those interviews. It would be better than our conference room and I wouldn’t have to lay eyes on that SOB, which is all the better,” Will stated firmly. I had to chuckle, as did Jake.

“Sure, you can have it for as long as you need it. Thad may have to do some things in there, but only for a few minutes at a time. I’m sure he won’t bother you any,” I replied. Will seemed relieved.

“Don’t you want to say hi to him for old time’s sake?” I teased. Will gave me a disturbing look.

“I only agreed to go along with this because of the importance it was to you guys to have him present his portfolio to this bank you indicated. Other than that, he can drop dead for all I care,” Will replied. Kyle looked a little shook, which Will noticed. “Ex boyfriend, Kyle. The worst kind also. Very selfish asshole, if you really want to know. He told off Josh and me one Saturday. Don’t need him in my life at all. I’m starting over and working with the greatest guys on earth, enjoying myself, like I never thought possible. I have a new vehicle, a new apartment, a new job, a great place to work and a new boyfriend. I’m in great shape,” Will announced. We all perked up at new boyfriend.

“Oh, wow. So tell us about this new boyfriend of yours,” I urged. Will smiled.

“You know who he is, but he’s not out, so we can’t name drop, if you know what I mean,” Will replied.

“Never mind. I think we all know who he is anyway,” Kyle replied. I’ve seen him come over to your place a couple of times. He’s a great guy, Will. We’re all happy for you,” Kyle assured him.

“I keep forgetting I have nosy neighbors that have an apartment right across from me,” Will chided. Kyle rolled his eyes.

“I wasn’t spying on you, Will. I just happened to see him show up a couple of times. I don’t think he even knows me. I have to admit, I think you did well there. I’ve never met your ex, but I sure do like your new man,” Kyle replied. Will blushed.

“He’s an extremely caring, thoughtful man, and we get along great. Everyday we seem to get closer and closer. I just really care about him. Thanks for introducing us, Josh, you matchmaker you,” Will chided. I just smiled.

“Hey, I just introduced you and let nature take its course. Sounds like nature is taking its course,” I teased. He smiled, telling me almost there. I shook my head somewhat disappointed. Will was still smiling, so I figured he didn’t want to tell the whole world his business. I let it drop. “Sure, go ahead and use the office here Thursday. That should be fine. Maybe since you’re here, I can meet a couple of your prospective management companies,” I offered.

“Great idea. They might as well meet the top dog. That way you can give me your perspective on who we can trust, and who we don’t want to trust,” Will suggested. I told him I’d try.

We all had dinner together. When we finished, Kyle asked if it was okay if he hung with us tonight, as Dale and Cam were cramming for his check ride tomorrow, and he didn’t want to disturb or distract them. I told him he was always welcome to hang with us. That seemed to make him happy. “I could help you guys out if you’re working at Rod’s tonight,” Kyle proposed.

“You know, I thought about it, but I’m kind of tired, and I need to catch up on some accounting for tomorrow and some reading for Real Estate. I guess we can go online and find out the assignments for Thursday, can’t we, Blake?” I asked.

“I already did and have them for us. I hope we don’t bore you, Kyle, with our studying,” Blake asked.

“No, just being here with you guys is enough for me right now. I just don’t’ want to be by myself, if you know what I mean. The greatest thing, and the worst thing, in my life is happening to me almost simultaneously. That’s the shits. Kind of hard to enjoy that which makes me extremely happy, when the worst thing is about to hit to make me extremely sad,” Kyle replied. We all patted him on the back, telling him he has never been more loved than he was right now. He admitted that was true, so he guessed the good outweighed the bad.

“Oh, can I go home with you tonight and keep you company?” Blake asked him. Kyle seemed to perk up, saying by all means. He’d love for Blake to keep him company.

“Wow, the night just got better all of a sudden,” Kyle stated. We all smiled.

 
This was a quieter chapter, with a somber note (Hal's meeting).

It's good to have some quieter chapter next to some more rambunctious and sexy ones, you get to appreciate more sides of the characters we already love.

The worst part about the meeting with Hal is there will be another one involving Cam this time. I hope it doesn't unleash a setback for him, although Cam now has a support network and a boyfriend who will stand by his side and help him through this.

As always, great work ..| so keep it coming FT, keep it cumming ..|
 
Great chapter FT.

I agree with Thanatos I liked this quieter chapter with a hint at the sorrow for Kyle and Cam a little later with the passing of Hal.

Like Thanatos I hope Cam doesn't have a big setback when Hal passes,

I am excited for the next installment Saturday night.

This was a sweet and thoughtful chapter. Josh has the biggest heart and cares about everyone. His thoughtful conversation with Hal was wonderful, praising Hal's life while he was still alive to hear it, not just being said after he's gone. I guess there is something to be said about knowing you're not going to be around long. There is better chance of closure that way. Still, it has to hurt like hell. Kyle is doing his best to look after Hal and Cam. It's interesting that Hal calls his son Cameron while all the guys call him Cam. I've seen that between different fathers and sons, where the older ones refer to their sons in their proper name while the younger ones shorten the names to nicknames. Interesting how you presented that, FT. Now, we have to prepare for the inevitable, the passing of Hal, and hope it doesn't send Cam back into a state of depression.

I hope you're setting us up for some fun with the upcoming shaving party, FT. Nice how Andy is coming over and bringing Les with him. Look out. Some fun things could definitely happen.

Loved how Josh told Zach he was loved despite his father's attitude towards his being gay. Gotta love Zach. He's really stepped up lately in handling Dustin and Ethan. He senses a need to support Josh. Josh has so much on his plate to deal with, I guess Zach senses he needs some support for what he considers no-brainer stuff.

Seems as if Josh's legal team has branched out to help out his friends also. Again, Josh has too much on his plate and his staff is starting to think like Josh, it seems. Josh seems proud of that fact, proud of his guys for what he considers to be choosing to do the right thing. Quite an interesting power lunch.

So the most touching highlight of this chapter for me, was Jake telling Josh what he felt like before they first made love. He had feelings he might be gay, but never had any experience there. He thought there might only be a handful like him in the world. He was deeply concerned about people finding out. He also was concerned about his love for Josh and how it might affect Josh's relationship with Andy. He felt guilty. He wondered if that was what Tyler was going through also. Jake cares as much for others as Josh. They are two of a kind. I thought hat part of the chapter was powerful, the way Jake confessed he liked Terry but thought he was straight at first because Terry was in a committed relationship, thinking he had a girlfriend. But it was Jake's guilt about hurting Andy and Josh's relationship that got me. He hung in there spending as much time with Andy, Ashton and his believed Josh, hoping something would give. It did, and he was the lucky one. Great sharing of the souls between the two. Jake has voiced concerns before to Josh about possibly hurting Josh and Andy's relationship. Josh always poo pooed it. This time he really bared his soul to Josh about all of what he felt and what went through his mind, not knowing his love had a chance to succeed. i was very touched by that part of the chapter.

Oh, and thank you, Chaz for thinking FT and I might be the same guy. I got a kick out of that. I couldn't begin to write a yarn like this. If I could, I'd quit my day job for sure. Ha. I'm very flattered though.

Okay, like all my bent crazy buds, as usual, I can't wait for tonight's next installment. Don't know how you do it, FT, but keep doing it. BC
 
Amen to all that, BC. I too thought the conversation between Josh and Jake was the highlight of the chapter.

As you've all noted, this was a quieter chapter, with the sad and moving scene with Hal, but also quite a few positive notes. Just like in real life, there's a mix of happy and sad in Josh world. But as Kyle concluded, the good things outweigh the bad.

I'm really looking forward to this afternoon's chapter, FT.

Cheers, HF
 
I'll bring up the tail this time, and agree with ALL as usual! (group)

Interesting that HF said, "this afternoon's chapter". We in The States are looking for tonight's chapter. HF is way ahead of us (U.S.), with Thanatos kinda in the middle. :biggrin:

Something struck me that I hadn't thought much about before. Josh doesn't actually boss anyone around. I'm not sure he's ever issued a direct order. He simply brings attention to some things, and kinda points 'whoever' in a general direction, then let's things go on their own. He knows his guys, and what they're capable of. They, in turn, understand him by knowing him so well. He shepherds more than he leads from the front. He lines things up, then flips the switch. He doesn't push.

This is quite obvious through his chats with Dylan and Garth, the "Power Lunch" meetings, pointing Will in a direction and letting him loose, filling Kyle in on the "quirks" of the rest of the crews, and even the way he has gently guided Kyle through dealing with Hal's condition, and nudging Cam forward. There is much more to come ...

I'm thinking the upcoming shaving party, especially with Les there (Andy's leaving Trev home, yes?), might be more like herding cats than hosting an event, or coaxing a plan into motion. :lol:

Gotta scoot! ...

MORE Please!! :gogirl: (*8*) :kiss:

Glad to know you guys were okay with the last chapter. I got a little emotional writing it. Sometimes I'm not sure how all that comes out. I guess I managed to get points across. Like HF commented, there is a mixture of happy and sad in Josh world, just as there is in real life. Very well said, HF. It's not all sex and fun, although the boys seem to have their share of it. Just in real life there are setbacks and new beginnings. More power to our guys to get it right.

Kind of a new twist in this next chapter. Garth helps Josh get a little adventurous in spying on the bad guys. They get Lucky involved in their scheme to find out what Hastings, Dickerson and Aikens are up to. A little different twist, but some fun involved with Garth and Dylan assisting. I hope you enjoy this next installment. I'll try to be back to you on Wednesday. Until then have a great rest of your weekend and afternoon where you are HF and Thanatos. Great to have you guys with us all half way around the world. Until then, be healthy, safe and happy. Huggs, FT
 
Chapter 605 – An Exciting Evening of Espionage

We had a leisurely evening with Kyle in attendance on Tuesday night, his sitting at the counter with Blake and me. We did have Ethan and Dustin also with us, looking nice and hot in their briefs, and thinking Kyle looked rather hot in his. I had to admit he did, and I didn’t mind looking at him either. Ethan and Dustin were actually serious about studying tonight, not pestering each other about their sexual concerns, which was a relief. When they went to take a leak together, and one only knows what else they were doing to one another as they did, I told Kyle having him around brought peace to the apartment.

Zach came out of his bedroom to check on everyone, taking a break. He hugged Kyle from behind, asking him how he was. Kyle grabbed Zach’s arms and held them to his chest. “I’m okay here with you guys, and Blake is spending the night, which is always comforting, so I’ll be fine. Just dreading what’s coming, as you can well expect,” Kyle replied. Blake and I sighed.

“Well, you have all of us to support you and Cam. You know we’re here anytime you need to be with us. You just have to take one day at a time, and eventually the pain goes away,” Zach told him. Kyle patted Zach’s arms, telling him everyone had been so wonderful with everything in his life, and he loved us all. Zach gave him an extra hug before going in the kitchen and grabbing some ice tea. “Where’s our two confused love birds?” Zach asked, noting that Ethan and Dustin were obviously missing.

“I think they’re playing with each other’s dicks in the bathroom, from last I heard,” I joked. Zach rolled his eyes.

“I’m going to play with their dicks and rip them off if they don’t get their shit together,” Zach humorously replied. We all thought that might be an appropriate solution.

Just then, Garth and Dylan emerged from their bedroom. Garth had his laptop with him, all excited. “Okay, boys, I got some good stuff this time. I think I figured out what these guys are talking about,” he said excitedly. “Going back for a few months with these fake emails they tried to hide, these guys have been entertaining young ladies it seems. Not only that, but they’ve been setting them up in hotel rooms for other friends personal amusement. They talk about them as Bambi and Trixie, referring to them as dogs, but dogs don’t suck cock. They may smell your crotch like Iggy does, but they don’t usually suck cock,” Garth proclaimed. Okay, so we followed him so far. “There are times and dates set up for appointments. They refer to the clients as friends of the three amigos. I take that to mean Hastings, Dickerson and Aikens, because those are the only three on the email stream they have going, but under reversed names. You’d swear they were putting together faculty meetings or something, but I have to believe as late at night as these appointments are, they aren’t talking curriculum. Maybe talking about sex education or something similar, but not academic studies,” Garth suggested. We were all intrigued.

Ethan and Dustin came back laughing, interrupting our meeting of the minds. ‘You guys rape each other in there or what?” Zach asked them. Ethan was red with embarrassment.

“Dustin tried to fuck me, that’s what. He pulled down my briefs and tried to fuck me up against the wall,” Ethan replied. Dustin did look guilty as hell.

“And, you had a problem with that?” Zach asked. “Sounds to me like a good time.”

“We’re supposed to be studying. I can’t help it if he’s horny,” Ethan replied.

“Well maybe the two of you shouldn’t piss together with your weenies hanging out for each of you to play with the others, which is what it sounded like was happening. Hell, both of you still have a semi. Something went on in there,” Zach replied. They both looked guilty as hell.

“I have an idea. Why don’t the two of you pack up, go back to the house and fuck up a storm, as you’ve put in your time tonight studying and you’re obviously horny, so go fuck and have a good time. We have some serious business to discuss, and don’t want to be distracted,” I suggested. Did I ever get the look from those two, but Zach was smiling along with Blake. Garth and Dylan just thought they were being obnoxious.

“Well, I guess we got told where to go,” Ethan remarked.

“Hey, you couldn’t have been offered a better deal than what Josh just suggested, if you ask me,” Zach commented. They decided it was probably a good time to go, as they did seem horny and my suggestion did seem to resonate with them. We just chit chatted until they finally gave us all hugs and took off. I told both of them I loved them before they left, which seemed to calm them down some. They finally left us in private to continue our discussion.

“I never saw two guys that were so screwed up as to their emotions about one another that can’t seem to keep their hands off one another,” Zach commented. We all had to laugh about that one.

“Now, where were we before our two oversexed love birds, that can’t handle each other emotionally, interrupted us?” Garth asked. I told him he was just about to tell us what was going on and who was involved. “Right. Anyway, they talk about getting candy delivered for refreshments referring to S&S catering the meetings at the motels with the entertainment. Guys, they have to be referring to Simon and Spence delivering drugs to their orgies they set up. I can’t understand these guys. They love fucking young girls but when they aren’t fucking the girls, they piss all over one another, supposedly, or have the girls piss on them in Hastings’ basement. I’d love to know where Mrs. Hastings is in all of this. Oh, and by the way, these emails ended when Simon and Spence got arrested. The meetings at the motels ended also. Sounds suspiciously like everything shut down. I have dates and times of these meetings. In each case S&S catered these events. I looked up all the catering places in town and surrounding areas and there isn’t anything remotely related to initials or names of S&S. That has to be Simon and Spence, guys,” Garth said rather excitedly.

We had barely got into this conversation when Clay walked in, back from the studio earlier. “Hey, guys, what’s everyone up to?” he asked. We all seemed to freeze in place. “Everything okay? What you got doing there, Garth. You find something new, as I need material to keep this story alive and incriminate these assholes,” Clay continued. I know we all stood there with our dropped jaws wondering if we should say anything, but we looked stupid as hell. “Okay, what gives. You guys look guilty as hell,” he finally said, trying to break our silence. We finally smiled.

“Well, as a matter of fact, Garth I think I hit the motherload for what you’d love to hear. But, we were afraid to clue in you because knowledge is powerful, and if not treated the right way, could get you killed. We deeply care about you, Clay, and don’t want you to go out and report a bunch of stuff half-cocked, and get yourself killed,” I told him.

“Screw that shit, tell me what you got. I promise to use this information wisely until the proper authorities can verify the information,” he said, noting we were all looking at him rather skeptically. “I swear, guys. Just tell me what you’ve got,” he practically begged he was so anxious to get the goods on Hastings and Dickerson, but didn’t have any idea we had Aikens now. I told him to strip to his briefs and get comfortable, as I wanted to see his cock get hard when we told him what we were about to tell him. That got a big grin out of him, and he quickly stripped. “You get me too excited, and I’m liable to jerk off right in front of you and cum all over you guys,” he chided. Zach said he was all for that. I rolled my eyes.

We let Garth spend the next few minutes brining him up to speed as to where we were. I swear I didn’t see a boner on the boy, but he was definitely blown away by the information. “OMG, my dreams have come true. Aikens is in on something, which is why he worked me over so hard threatening me with termination if I didn’t let up. No wonder the asshole was concerned. He could give a shit about truthful journalism. He’s covering up for those boys and himself, it seems. Son of a bitch,” Clay exclaimed. I patted him on the back.

“How come you came back so early. Weren’t you doing a special segment tonight on something?” I asked. He gave me a weird look.

“Aikens told me to take the night off, as his supposed protégé would do my report tonight. I heard him say they were going to some special event tonight after the newscast, and he wanted her to look especially nice. He said she’d find it in our wardrobe department in her locker. I happen to know the lock on her locker can be jimmied, as it used to be my locker at one time, so I did a little investigation myself before I left since they were in the newsroom supposedly putting her report on the teleprompter. I saw the skimpiest bra and panties I’d ever seen, not that I’ve seen many at all, mind you. Actually, I’ve never seen real ones, just ones in magazines, like Playboy and the such. Yeh, I was curious when I was younger. Sorry, I wasn’t looking at dicks back then,” he chided, somewhat apologizing for looking at titties and cunts. Hey, to each his own. “Anyway, I just thought they were going to a motel to fuck, but I heard Aikens say the others would be totally impressed with what she’d be wearing. I swear guys, she might as well be naked. That was see-thru material. I’m wondering if she’s a hooker or what. She’s obviously going to make some guys happy tonight for sure. I mean she’s not that great at reporting, so maybe she has better skills that involve skimpy bras and panties,” Clay remarked.

“I’m thinking we need to get hold of Lucky and see if he can go undercover and follow them to see where they go,” I said, thinking out loud. “This might be a break to see who they meet and where they go,” I added.

“Do you think Lucky would do that?” Clay asked, somewhat excited about potential espionage work. I smiled.

“Wait. Garth, you said that the fake emails stopped when Simon and Spence got arrested, right?” I asked. Garth said that was true. What if they changed email servers and kept their own private email addresses but used the same fake names as they did on the ‘,edu’ server?” I asked.

“Didn’t think to look there, but we can. Just give me a few minutes. By the way, I had to torque up your WiFi just a little as it was kind of slow,” Garth mentioned. I asked how fast he made it. He told me it was now 100 times faster than it was.

“Good grief, no wonder we were getting instant responses when sending emails and searching the web,” I replied. Garth just looked up at me and smiled, as his fingers whipped through the keyboard in search of something.

“Oh, by the way, no one can see what we do on the web anymore. Everything coming out of here is encrypted, giving us better security than the banks even,” he informed us. We all shook our heads.

“Hey, between the WiFi speeds and the encryption, we can watch all kinds of gay porno for free and download an entire two-hour porno in a matter of seconds and no one knows we were there,” Dylan gloated.

“Is that even legal?” I asked, somewhat skeptical. Garth smiled.

“No one said we couldn’t and didn’t ask for us to pay, so we just grabbed it. Oh, and it was pretty hot too. Dylan and I had some fun after that one. Learned a few things watching it also,” Garth bragged. I swear we were all stunned.

“Wait, how can you get Dickerson’s private email since it’s not on a university server where you have access?” Clay asked, which I thought was an extremely intelligent question. Garth just smiled.

“So, I grabbed his IP address from his personal computer when he sent an email from his home desktop, sending a legitimate work related email. He used his home computer regularly for work and monkey business. I captured his home computer IP address and then hacked into it so I can see his private emails also,” Garth replied, smiling from ear to ear.

“Is that even legal?” I asked this time. Garth smiled, saying once again, no one told him he couldn’t, and no one stopped him. We all rolled our eyes.

“Well, lookie here. Mr. Dick is being naughty tonight. Such a bad boy,” Garth said, as he was obviously interested in what he was reading. “Okay, no need for Lucky boy to tail them tonight, as I’ll tell you where our three favorite boys are going to be with Aikens’ young protégé. They’re at the No-Tell Motel out on the east end of town, out by the highway where truckers layover when they run out of hours. Did you guys know that Motel spelled backwards was Letom? Guess someone is going to let them fuck that protégé tonight good,” Garth reported.

“There isn’t a No-Tell motel out there, is there?” I asked. Garth laughed.

“No, I made that up, but that’s essentially what the damn place is. The yard lizards hang out there for the truckers. They rent their rooms by the hour,” Garth replied, getting a smile from Dylan, who I thought was amazed by the way Garth was telling the story.

“And you know this how?” I asked, somewhat concerned. Gath smiled from ear to ear.

“Hey now, don’t ask too many personal questions, Josh. If you really want to know, that’s where Dylan and I used to go to fuck a time or two, or three of four, but who kept count. That way he could get a shower and clean up some afterwards. That was a special treat for him when he was working the streets before he moved into this mansion we have here,” Garth chided. Again, I shook my head. “Get Lucky boy on the phone, and see if he can work some surveillance on the place. It’s the Motel 7 out on route 49. He’ll know where it is, I’m sure. From the email that our buddy Aikens sent, there’s going to be a few boys in attendance. Hope they got the deluxe suite for $29.00 a night, or maybe that’s the hourly rate. I don’t remember, other than it was cheap,” Garth remarked. He was blowing us away with his skills and street smarts.

“Damn, if I’d have met you earlier, I could have won a Pulitzer by now. As talented as you are, you could probably find out where Jimmy Hoffa is buried,” Clay teased. Garth looked at him and smiled.

“Done that already, years ago. I’ll let you know someday,” Garth replied, to our amazement.

I called Lucky’s personal cell phone. “Hey, what’s up, Josh?” Lucky answered. I asked him if he was on duty or poking Marvin tonight. He reminded me it was Tuesday night, and Marvin was sleeping with the cows back in his hometown tonight. He said he was on patrol. I asked if he was by himself or had a partner with him. He said he was solo tonight, as it was always slow on Tuesday night. I told him what we had going, and asked if he might take a peek to see if he could see who all showed up at the Motel 7. Lucky laughed. “Josh, that’s full of truckers and yard lizards. You really think that someone like Hastings, Dickerson and that other guy you said, are going to be there with all that going on?” he asked. I told him we had good intel, Garth giving me a thumbs up. “Well, shit. I’ll check it out for you, but I’m going to get my truck as I don’t want to scare all the yard lizards away, as those truckers need some loving too,” Lucky joked. I told him to steer clear of the lizards unless he found a particularly nicely hung one. He said the Motel 7 wasn’t the place for that action. I told him not to be too sure, looking over at Garth and Dylan. “Okay, buddy, I’ll check it out, but I’ll do it in my pickup truck, so I can blend in. I don’t need to be seen in a marked patrol car out there for sure. I better put my jeans and boots on also, just in case I have to get out,” he advised me. I told him to be careful and to make sure he was armed. He told me to leave the police work to him.

“Hey, Lucky, I don’t want any part of that beautiful manly body of yours getting rearranged or torn up, so just observe, and if you can get pictures of any of the three, that would be awesome,” I suggested. Lucky said he had no idea what Aikens looked like, but he sure as hell knew what Hastings and Dickerson looked like. He wouldn’t miss those two if he saw them. Garth told me the meet time was 10:45, after the late-night news. Lucky said he’d be there in plenty of time to see who showed up.

Clay was so excited he could hardly stand it. “Easy, big guy. We still can’t prove they were doing anything illegal or underhanded. Surely, your news info-babe is of age, isn’t she?” I asked Clay.

“Oh, hell yes, but she doesn’t strike me as the type to pull a train with a bunch of old men. They must have to put something in her drink or drug her or something to make her willingly take on those creepy guys,” Clay replied. “Shit, I’d get a stiffy to be there with a cameraman tonight to shoot them as they come out of the motel,” Clay said, almost too excited. I reached over and felt his cock and balls through his briefs, making him smile, his junk doing a nice job of filling up my hand in his flaccid state.

“Not there yet, but I sense some stiffness coming on,” I joked. Clay chuckled.

“We nail these guys and I’ll pull a train, but just with you guys,” he joked.

“No shit. Now there’s a dick I’d like my ass to meet,” Garth said, excitedly. Dylan told Garth, he’d take on any dick, so what was he talking about. Garth shook his head, still searching for more emails. “Gees, guys there seems to be several of these parties lately from the number of these recent emails. I’d say these guys are partying once a week at least. So much for the poker games in Hastings’ basement. I’d say these boys might have become regulars at the Motel 7. I wonder what name they registered under. Who is the lucky guy that actually registered for the room, I wonder?” Garth asked himself. “Give me a minute and I might be able to find out,” he added.

“How are you going to do that?” I had to ask, with Clay curious also. Garth smiled.

“I’m going to send them an email to ask them if they have any rooms available for tonight. When they send me a reply, I’ll have their IP address and then I can hack into their computer server to see who registered for this evening, see if any name we recognize pops up, or maybe a fictitious name that stands out,” Garth replied, as he typed away.

Sure enough, five minutes later, he had a reply there were a few rooms available, and asked if he wanted to book one. Garth said he had them now. It seemed like he wore his keyboard out typing furiously, but after a few minutes, he announced his successful entrance into their computer system. “You’d think these guys would have better security on their system, but I guess if you run a sleazebag motel, you probably don’t care. That system was made to hack into, almost inviting me in,” Garth remarked.

“Don’t some systems trace back anyone that happens to breach their security systems?” I asked. Garth looked up at me and smiled, but only for a brief second as he was busily running through the motel’s registration list, to our amazement.

“Some systems definitely trace any intruders that happen to breach their security systems, but I have a program running in the background that thwarts all that, sending their systems all over the world, making it look like the North Koreans breached their system. Those crazy commies are always trying to hack into something, so we might as well let them have the credit,” Garth chided, still typing away like crazy.

“Unbelievable. I’m glad you’re on our side, and I trust you’ll build a great security system for our corporate IT,” I stated. He looked up at me and smiled again.

“Probably one on par with the Pentagon, I’d say. Trust me, ours will be bulletproof when I get done with it. We have decent protection now, but I want the best, and you will have the best when I’m done with it,” Garth informed us. “Okay, gentlemen, and I use the term loosely. We have a few names for consideration here around the time they’re supposed to be there. We have a reservation for an arrival at 10:45 actually under the name of, damn, I can’t believe he used his own name. Duncan Maxwell, does that ring a bell with any of you guys?” Garth asked. I rolled my eyes.

“That’s our real estate professor that left town, the one that Hastings and Dickerson were abusing. How the hell could they use his name? Don’t they have to have a drivers license to register at a motel?” I asked. Garth almost laughed.

“Fake ID, Josh. I mean they’re a dime a dozen. I can make you one from any state you want and make it so clean no one will ever know, unless you skip without paying. They probably pay in cash or a credit card linked to a fake company of sorts,” Garth suggested.

“Damn, Garth, you’re starting to scare me with all this clandestine knowledge you have. You sure you aren’t a spy for some foreign country or something?” I teasingly questioned. Garth laughed.

“That would be kind of fun, but I love hanging with you guys too much to get involved in all that crazy cloak and dagger stuff. This is more fun electronically spying on your buddies and their girlfriends. Speaking of which, the bewitching hour is upon us. Check with Lucky to see if he’s in place,” Garth suggested.

“Yes, captain,” I said, as I called Lucky’s cell. “Anything yet, buddy?” I asked Lucky when he picked up.

“Damn, I didn’t realize how busy this place is about this time of night. I swear there are a lot of sleazeballs hanging around the place. The doors open to the outside, so if they go into a room, I’ll be able to see them,” Lucky replied. “Whoops, here comes a car now turning in. I’m a few rows back in the parking lot, but I can see all the room doors from where I am both upstairs and downstairs. There’s a guy and a girl getting out of the car. I’ll run the plates to see who the vehicle is registered to,” Lucky said, having me on speaker as he said he had his night camera out to take pictures. “I have to admit, this is more fun than I’ve had since I staked out Spence and Simon’s place and watched all the drug dealers in town come and go and some very young girls. Okay, a guy I didn’t recognize just went in to register at the desk. The girl stayed right outside the door. She’s smoking a cigarette and looks very nervous. Oops, two more cars pulled in a row behind me. Oh, shit, these two guys I do recognize. We have one Hastings and one Dickerson walking up and waiting outside the office. Okay, now the other guy is coming out and joining Dickerson and Hastings. The four of them are heading to a room. They went up the stairs so the room is on the second floor. Looks like room 207, from what I can see. Okay, they went inside, so I can’t see what’s going on now,” Lucky said.

“We need to see how long they stay. You could be there awhile. Is that okay with you?” I asked.

“Are you kidding? Normally, I’m bored out of my mind on Tuesday nights, but tonight this should be fun. I got plenty of good pictures of the four of them together so if we can tie them to anything tonight, we at least have proof they were together in a sleazy motel room,” Lucky chided. “This might be awhile, so I’ll call you back if something unusual pops up or when they leave,” Lucky told us.

“Okay, so we know there is definitely a relationship between Hastings, Dickerson and Aikens and that new bimbo, Shelley that Aikens hired. What a waste that one is. She must fuck good is all I can say, because she’s almost brain dead as far as trying to talk to her. Everything has to be on the teleprompter, or she doesn’t know what to say. Aikens types everything into the teleprompter for her, as I don’t think she can even type,” Clay told us. He no more than said what he did, then Lucky called us back.

“Hey, Josh, there were two more men that showed up and walked up to room 207. They didn’t enter the room, but handed one of the guys in the room a small case of something, looking like a shaving kit, from what I could see. It looks like whoever took possession of the small case, handed the two guys an envelope. Now, if I was to guess, I’d say, I just witnessed a drug deal. I didn’t recognize the two guys that delivered the package, but I’d say one of them was packing some heat, by the way he was walking and holding his hand behind his back when the so-called transaction took place. I saw where they parked, and I got plate numbers so I’ll run that plate and see what turns up,” Lucky told us. “Other than that, the four are still there in the room and the two men have left. This is getting more interesting by the minute. How did you guys know this shit was going to happen tonight? Where did you get your information?” Lucky asked.

“It’s a long story. Remind me to fill you in sometime,” I said, tongue in cheek. “Anyway, we had a hunch this might happen, as Clay just got back from the studio and suspected that his boss, which we assume is the guy that came with the woman, was taking the woman, who we suspect to be a journalism intern there at the station, somewhere for sex. Clay sensed they might like to party, and he stumbled upon where they might be going, which is why we asked you to take a look for us. We think Hastings, Dickerson and Aikens, Aikens being the one you didn’t recognize, who is the producer of Live 5 News, are somehow involved in meeting once a week to party with this young lady or other young ladies. We suspect, and this is just speculation at this time, there may be drugs involved, which is maybe what you just witnessed. You said, yourself, you thought that might be what was taking place. I’m sure the state AG’s office might like this information, which might result in a formal investigation, as you already know what kind of shit Hastings and Dickerson are involved with,’ I explained.

“Damn, this could get very interesting then. I’ll get as many pictures as I can then to see if we can detect anything else I might have captured in the pics that I missed seeing,” Lucky replied. I told him I was proud of him. He said he needed to get back to surveilling, but would call if anything else interesting came up.

A few minutes later, Lucky called back. “I ran the plates on the two guys that showed up. You are not going to believe this, but the vehicle was registered to none other than Weinstein and Seward Construction company. That only makes sense if somehow they’re involved with your three guys. We know they were for payoffs to Dickerson, with Hastings involved, but what would they have to do with the three of them at a sleazebag motel on a Tuesday night?” Lucky asked somewhat rhetorically.

“You don’t think they’re still involved in their sons’ drug business, do you?” I asked.

“Would they be that stupid?” Lucky asked. I sighed.

“Are the out-of-town lawyers still in town?” I asked.

“From what I’ve heard down at the station, they’re still here, probably trying to shake Weinstein and Seward down to get back the money the boys lost when we confiscated their inventory,” Lucky guessed.

“Maybe the old men took up the business to get the heat from these outsiders off the boys?” I asked. Lucky said he guessed that was possible, even more possible if the Weinstein and Seward were in business with the boys to begin with. I’ll talk to Conner tomorrow and tell him what we discovered. I’m sure he’ll know what to do from there,” Lucky replied.

While Lucky continued to surveil the motel, we discussed all kinds of theories as to what all was going on. Lucky called back about an hour later. “Okay, these dudes must not have much staying power, because they’re all leaving. I guess when you get old like that your balls shrivel up and you don’t have much juice,” Lucky chuckled. I told him he was bad, but would be there someday so not to make fun of old guys. He told me he was just kidding.

“I don’t suppose you could get into that room to see if you can detect what was going on, could you?” I asked. There was silence on his end. Finally he spoke.

“You want me to break into a motel room and see all the garbage they left behind. What, you want semen samples or something?” Lucky asked, chuckling.

“No, silly, just check to see if the bed is messed up or if you can find any indication of drug use, that kind of stuff. I can’t believe they’d go to all that trouble for a lousy meeting if something more nefarious wasn’t involved. Get my point?” I asked.

“Yes, dear, I get your point. I have a better idea, other than breaking in. In this place, as soon as the current occupants vacate a room, housekeeping cleans it up, as they might turn these rooms over two or three times a night. I’ll wait for housekeeping to show up and act like I left something in the room, then go in with them. That’ll work,” Lucky suggested. I told him that was genius. He reminded me he was a cop. I told him I knew that and really liked his gun, making him laugh. He teased me saying he missed my gun. I told him he had Marvin’s gun now and didn’t need mine anymore. He said mine was still special to him, and he wouldn’t mind a reunion sometime during the week when Marvin wasn’t in town. I told him, I’d see what I could do sometime. He told me he just liked fucking with me, then he followed that up by saying, ‘literally’, making me laugh. “Gotta go, as housekeeping is making her way there with her cart,” he said, then quickly hung up.

I told the guys what Lucky was doing. They couldn’t believe what all we discovered tonight, and how it was actually going down. I lauded Garth for his talents on finding information.

“Garth is a real invasion of privacy guru for sure,” Dylan commented. There was no doubt in any of our minds as to that fact. Garth gave Dylan a quick kiss for that comment. Garth stretched his arms in the air and wiggled his fingers, trying to relax them from all the furious typing he had done. I hadn’t noticed the large patches before of dark pit hair the boy had.

“Damn, Garth, you have some serious dense pit hair there, boy,” I teased. Garth smiled, then showed it off to us. “Kind of sexy for sure,” I commented.

“One of his outstanding characteristics I love about him,” Dylan commented. “Love to run my nose that those dense patches of pit hair. Damn, can that ever make my cock hard,” Dylan chided, with Garth smiling from ear to ear.

“Yeh, he even chews on it and pulls it with his teeth sometimes. Gets my dick nice and hard too,” Garth confessed, as he ran his fingers through his dense pit hair.

“He’s my little furry creature. I just love running my fingers through his chest hair on his small body. He’s just hairy all over and I can’t get enough of it. Damn good thing he wasn’t in that motel room tonight fucking or forensics would have a field day with all the hair follicles he’d leave behind. I swear he has his own buil- in sweater growing on him,” Dylan chided.

“We all think he’s adorable, and damn if he isn’t talented with is computer. Unbelievable talent there,” I said, with all the guys agreeing.

Jake finally came out of the bedroom to get some ice tea. “What’s going on?” he asked, oblivious to what all was happening. I told Jake we were just admiring Garth’s hairy chest and pit hair. Jake chuckled, accusing us of being bent. We all openly admitted to that fact. Then I told him we were on a stakeout. “Okay, now I know you’re bent,” he joked. We explained to him what all we’d done and what was going on. He couldn’t believe it at first. Then Lucky called back.

“So, did you find anything interesting or of value?” I asked. He chuckled.

“Not unless you count three used condoms with old men sperm in them interesting and valuable,” he replied. I told him there were some good DNA samples in there. He wasn’t amused. “I held my nose and bagged them for evidence in case we need them for something later. The cleaning lady didn’t see me bag them, so no one knows what I came for and collected. Oh, and the sheets were all messed up. There was definitely a party going on here for sure. I didn’t find any drugs or any evidence of any that I could tell, as I was supposedly looking for a good luck charm I thought slipped off my neck. She just smiled when I said that. I gave her $10 to forget she ever saw me here. You know what she told me? She said she made a ton of money for her discreetness, as there were a lot of guys like me that came and went within hours. Apparently, there are a lot of clandestine rendezvous in this place and confidentiality is well rewarded. Oh, and the dumb fucks didn’t even leave housekeeping a tip, the tightwads. I’m glad I gave her a tip then, as I’m sure she works hard cleaning up sexual messes,” Lucky informed us.

“So where did you find the condoms?” I asked.

“Wrapped up in some tissue in the trash. I had to sift through the trash to find them. I always look at the trash as most perps think no one looks there, not wanting to go through their messy shit. That’s why I always carry a pair of vinyl gloves with me. Sure glad I did. There was poop on the outside of one of the condoms. I wonder if they sodomized that girl or if they had fun with one another. Who knows? I don’t’ have a reason for forensics to analyze these, but I know a guy that works there, and I can ask him if the poop was male or female at least,” Lucky stated.

“Yuk. I guess you could, not that it would tell us all that much. But, maybe it would,” They could have been fucking her in both holes at one time, I guess. Poor girl,” I replied.

“Josh, she wasn’t resisting the three when they went to their room. I’m pretty sure she could have walked away. You say she works with Clay at the TV station?” Lucky asked. I told him that was true. “Have Clay nose around through her stuff there to see if he can find any evidence of drugs or drug use. That might help us understand what’s going on,” Lucky suggested. I told him I would. “Okay, I’m off work in a half-hour, so I’m going home soon, then call Marvin. We’re having phone sex tonight,” Lucky said, rather excitedly. I told him to enjoy himself, but if he wanted some real sex, he could come over here. He laughed, saying he’d already had his excitement with us tonight, but would see us tomorrow night for Ladies’ Night. I told him we looked forward to it.

I discussed what Lucky had suggested with the guys, asking Clay to nose around at work to see if he could find any evidence his new intern might be using drugs of some type. He said he knew he could get into her locker and could see what hey could find. I told him to be especially careful not to give anyone any indication or clue as to our looking int them. He said he would definitely be careful.

It was late and we were all tired. Blake and Kyle said they thought they’d head back to Kyle’s. Kyle said he was sure Dale was staying over tonight, as he and Cam were just too excited about tomorrow. I could understand their excitement. Before Blake and Kyle got dressed, I hugged each of them in their underwear, our bare chests up against one another, our junk up pressed together, separated only by the thin cotton of our briefs, feeling the warmth of each other’s bodies. I squeezed their ass cheeks as I hugged them, making them chuckle some, but still enjoy the brief intimacy. Jake, Garth, Dylan and Clay hugged them also, not as sexy as I hugged them, however.

Garth and Dylan headed to bed, as they were way later than their normal bedtime. I told them I hoped we didn’t cut into their fuck time. Dylan said they could do that anytime, so no worries. Jake and I gave them both big hugs. I had to run a hand over Garth’s furry chest, just to enjoy the rug he had on his front side. He said it felt good. I told him it felt great to me. H teased that my dick would feel great also if it was up his ass. I told him we’d get to that sometime. He promised to hold Jake and I to that. Clay was going to stay up a while longer and go over his notes. I told him to make sure no one ever saw those other than him and us. He said he’d keep them here and not take them to the newsroom. I gave him a big hug also. He held me tight.

“Thank you for all you’ve done to help me with this story, and bring these assholes to justice. All this time, I just thought Aikens was just a prick, but now that I know he’s tied in with Hastings and Dickerson, the thought of which makes me sick. I just hope I can keep from telling him off before they haul him away. I’m going to have to bite my tongue for sure,” Clay remarked. I told him we’d get them soon enough. Clay said he could only hope so.

Jake and I snuggled up against one another after getting naked and crawling in bed. “I can’t believe you had Lucky running around all over the place tonight spying on the bad guys,” Jake commented. I chuckled.

“Hey, the more we can get on these guys the better it will be. Something has to stick and put them away,” I told Jake.

“The law will finally catch them, Josh. We just need to be careful the bad guys don’t catch us first. We need to be careful. Lucky was out there by himself running solo. We don’t want to endanger him either,” Jake relied, although tenderly as he squeezed my ass cheek, then kissed me. That ended the conversation at least, but not the noises coming from our mouths. Those sounds were hot to say the least, letting each of us know how well we were satisfying the other. We did that extremely well, actually.

“So I guess you were too tired to come help last night at the house,” Rod said, as he met us for coffee at the SU before Marketing on Wednesday morning. I smiled.

“Actually, we had quite an interesting evening working on something important to all of us, anyway. Did you guys make any headway?” I asked. Rod smiled.

“Actually, as a matter of fact, we did. We got all the drywall up in Tyler’s room, including the ceiling. Made a heck of a mess, but he’s moved into Tink’s room while we finish up his. Maybe tomorrow night we can throw some mud on the walls and get that going. Once we get his room finished, I can move into Tink’s room while we do mine. We’re saving Lonnie’s for last. I told him we weren’t touching his room until he cleaned it up and fumigated in there. I told him if he ever took Ginny in there to screw, she’d probably never want to see him again. I have to say, Tyler and Tink keep the neatest rooms, well Tink when he was living with us. Guess he still does at the house. He was always meticulous about cleaning,” Rod informed us.

“Well Josh can’t help you tomorrow night, Rod, he’s getting his legs shaved for a swimming match on Friday afternoon, him and Andy,” Trevor announced.

“Seriously? Oooo, Josh, do you have to do that?” Rod asked, making a disgusting face. I smiled.

“Got to get as streamlined as we can get. Smoothness eliminates seconds off our time,” I explained.

“How do you even do that? I know the girls do, but how do guys shave their legs?” Rod asked, having a hard time wrapping his head around such an act.

“Very carefully, so you don’t nick yourself or worse, cut off your pee pee and balls,” I explained. Rod made an even worse face at that comment. We shave what we can, then have help on the back sides of our legs. We’re having a shaving party of all of us on the team tomorrow night to get ready. There’s Andy, Zach, Ethan, Aiden and me. Oh, and I guess Les is coming also, the one whose ass you fucked in your gay porno video you made.” Before I could even finish my sentence. Rod stopped me saying he got it, and didn’t have to be reminded of it.

“Andy says I can’t come as I’ll be a distraction, Josh. What do you say?” Trevor asked. I shook my head chucking.

“Andy is one smart dude, Trev. He knows you better than any of us. If he says you’ll be a distraction, then I have to believe him. We don’t need extra guys fucking around when we have razor blades out and we’re shaving close to our private parts,” I assured him. He looked so disappointed.

“Yeh, but I wouldn’t mind sitting on the bench seat and watching all that hot meat wandering around, bent over, trying to shave their masculinity off,” Trevor chided. I rolled my eyes.

“TMI!” Rod protested. “I’m sure you could live without those images running around in your head.” We all chuckled.

“Hey, speak for yourself, Rod. We all have a great time together in that regard. You just haven’t discovered the fun you’re missing in life. One of these days you’ll wake up, we can only hope,” Trevor replied.

Rod shook his head, telling Trevor, “That will never happen. Trust me on that,” he replied. “I’ll take a pussy any and every day.” Trevor told hm he was really missing out if that was his attitude.

Mary Ann said she was excited tonight was Ladies’ Night, telling us she, and the girls, wouldn’t miss it for the world. She wanted to know if Johan was going to be there again. I told her, absolutely.

“That boy is so dreamy. Damn, are you sure he couldn’t be straight for at least one night to give a girl a thrill?” she asked, getting a big frown from Rod. I shook my head.

“You can always ask him. Maybe he’d like to experiment with the other side some. I can’t speak for him. Generally speaking, once you’re on our side, you don’t like going back. I mean when you’ve had the best sex of your life, why spoil it by settling for less,” I said, almost getting slapped by Mary Ann.

“Oh, honey, you spend the night with me for one night, and I just might break that gayness in you,” Em chided.

“I don’t’ like where this is going,” Rod chimed in. Mary Ann and I just smiled, then she gave me a hug and a kiss. “Oh, good grief. Leave my bud alone, Mary Ann,” Rod told her. She winked at Rod, as if to say she was making progress and could eventually seduce me. I could tell Rod was actually worried. Then I patted him on the back, telling him he had nothing to worry about. Still, I could tell he was concerned. Oh well.

“What did you do to Tyler when he stayed with you in Key West?” Em asked me. I got a puzzled look on my face.

“What the hell kind of question is that?” I asked, nervous as to where she might be going with that question.

“Sue said he’s been a little different since he’s been back, more serious than he was before. I thought maybe you had something to do with that,” Mary Ann replied. I wasn’t ready to hear something like that, and wasn’t sure where to go with it.

“We just worked for the most part as you know. We did have some great talks about life in general. I don’t know, maybe something we talked about got him to thinking. Who knows? Tyler’s a great guy. He’s deep and emotional in a way, very caring also. He’s a deep thinker for one thing. I know he really loves taking on the Victorian project. To him it’s a labor of love. Why, is he not as attentive to Sue as he was before?” I asked, not trying to pry too deeply to elicit more additional questions I wasn’t comfortable answering.

“No, she says he’s fine, and very attentive, but she can tell he’s deep in thought at times, something he never seemed to do before our trip,” Em replied.

“His mind is constantly thinking about the Victorian, I guess. He must have asked a million questions about the home while we were there, and he loved exploring the attic, trying to find clues about life in the past there,” I explained.

“So what were these letters about he found in the attic?” Mary Ann asked, somewhat shocking me. I tried not to act surprised and shocked she knew about them.

‘I think he found a lot of interesting information about that time period after the turn of the century. I’m not sure what all he found out about them, as he was reading some. I guess you’ll just have to ask him, as I haven’t read them, but he seemed particularly interested in them. He’s kind of a history buff. I found that out when we went exploring in the attic,” I replied.

“Man, it was so fucking hot up there. Lonnie and I were happy to get out of there. Don’t know how you guys stood the heat up there. One thing’s for sure, you guys were sweating like pigs, sweat dripping off of you everywhere with your shirts off, and your shorts soaked from ball sweat,” Rod chided.

“Damn, if it wasn’t hot up there, but everything we went through was so fascinating. We couldn’t get enough of that experience,” I told them as I thought about the hot sex Tyler and I had together in that attic. “Oh, you girls have to try on some of those old evening gowns we found in trunks up there. That would be crazy. Maybe you can use them for some kind of display in the lobby when we get the building restored,” I suggested. Mary Ann thought that might be kind of neat, representing the period of the time when the Victorian was built. At least she was off the ‘what made Tyler different’ questions.

At lunch, minus Cam, as he was taking his flight check ride with an FAA examiner at the time, I told Will, Jordan, Nate, Ken and Buzz what all we found out the night before. They were blown away at what Garth was able to uncover, and that we got Lucky to do a stakeout.

“Damn, I left you guys too soon. I should have hung around for the action,” Will replied, disappointed he missed out on our spy adventure. I told him I thought he had a date. He smiled. “Well, that too, but what you guys did sounds kind of exciting also,” Will replied. I told him I hoped his date was excited. “It was nice, very nice, I have to say. I enjoyed that too, but what you guys did was even more interesting. I wish I had been there,” Will replied, with a cute smile.

“I’ll fill you guys in when we get more information back. One thing is for sure, Aikens is involved with Hastings and Dickerson. No doubt about it. That’s why he was trying to squelch anything Clay was trying to report, trying to protect his friends.” I told them.

“Don’t forget, Jules is meeting with us tomorrow afternoon for us to go over the interrogatories we want him to present to C&S Bank in Chicago. We’re going to have to perp him some on how to ask questions without him getting the feeling he’s spying for us. He thinks this is his great opportunity to put a huge financial package together for us, so I’m sure he’ll give it everything he has to make that happen. The only thing he won’t know is that he’ll be getting information to help put Dickerson and Hastings away for money laundering, bribing a public official, and anything else we can nail them on. Plus, hopefully, he can get some inside skinny on how they hide money for their clients to keep it out of the eye of the IRS or anyone else looking for it. We have to be careful how we prompt him to ask those types of questions, as it makes us look like we have something to hide. Hopefully, they’ll share some of that information with him. He’s going to tell them we’d like to make a certain amount of money disappear, but be available to us when we need it. It’s kind of a risky question to ask, one a legitimate bank would tell you to go pound sand, but, hopefully, they can give us some insight as to how that might be done which is what the Feds are looking for. There has to be a secret set of books somehow to keep track of all that,” Jordan explained.

“What time is Jules going to be here?” Will asked, concerned. Jordan told him 1:00. “Okay, I’ll be here at the CNB interviewing interested facilities management partners all day tomorrow. Just make sure you don’t bring him over here. Tell him I’m out of town interviewing clients if he asks. I don’t want to see him, if you know what I mean,” Will stated rather emphatically. The rest of the guys smiled.

“Okay, Will. We’ll tell him you’re out of town on business,” Nate offered. “What if he stops into the bar to see Josh?” Nate asked.

“Hell, I’ll be in class or swim practice, so I won’t be here unless he sticks around for dinner. We can always distract him, and get Will out the back somehow. He sure as hell doesn’t know where Will lives, thankfully,” I replied. Will seemed pleased to hear we’d run interference for him.

“Guess I may have to spend that night at my boyfriend’s house if he tries to follow me. Can’t say that’d be all bad,” Will replied. He had an option there, one that Forest would be happy to accommodate, I had to think.

“Have you told him about Jules?” Blake asked, wondering if Forest was aware of Jules and how he treated Will.

“Yes, I’ve aired my dirty laundry in that regard. I feel like I can tell him everything, as he’s so understanding and caring. He knows all about the asshole,” Will replied.

“I’m sure Forest will be sympathetic to your cause then,” Blake replied. We all believed that.

“So we need to keep Jules away from Will tomorrow, but besides that, we need to make Jules feel like he’s really helping us by digging hard to get answers to the interrogatories we’ll be giving him. We need him to find out as much as he possibly can, even if he has to push the limits on this stuff,” Nate commented.

“So that means we have to play nice to Jules, I guess?” Will asked, not overly happy about the situation.

“We’ll play nice, and you can stay out of it if you like. But, if we see the need to help persuade the boy, then we might need you to play nice also, by getting you involved. We’re not asking you to sleep with him or anything, just be cordial and possibly talk to him, let him apologize to you, you know that type of ‘nice’,” Nate suggested. Will shook his head.

“You know, I’d just as soon he drop dead as far as I’m concerned,” Will replied. Nate smiled, as if that’s the answer he didn’t want to hear. “Okay, it’s like taking one for the team, but I mean it when I say, I’m not sleeping with the boy,” Will repeated.

Thad came and got me, telling me we had to go to Accounting. I told the boys it was a good meeting, then got up to leave to go to class. Just as I turned around to walk out with Thad, there was Jules, in the flesh smiling at me, then running up to me to give me a big hug.

“Josh, so great to see you again,” Jules said, as he embraced me. I almost shit myself as there was Will only a few feet away from me witnessing his ex-boyfriend give me a hug. ‘Fuck’ was all I could think.

 
Glad to know you guys were okay with the last chapter. I got a little emotional writing it. Sometimes I'm not sure how all that comes out. I guess I managed to get points across. Like HF commented, there is a mixture of happy and sad in Josh world, just as there is in real life. Very well said, HF. It's not all sex and fun, although the boys seem to have their share of it. Just in real life there are setbacks and new beginnings. More power to our guys to get it right.

Kind of a new twist in this next chapter. Garth helps Josh get a little adventurous in spying on the bad guys. They get Lucky involved in their scheme to find out what Hastings, Dickerson and Aikens are up to. A little different twist, but some fun involved with Garth and Dylan assisting. I hope you enjoy this next installment. I'll try to be back to you on Wednesday. Until then have a great rest of your weekend and afternoon where you are HF and Thanatos. Great to have you guys with us all half way around the world. Until then, be healthy, safe and happy. Huggs, FT

That is what I love about this story, FT. It's not all sex, there is a real story line and I think of Josh's gang as my on boys! Thank you for all you do!
 
I agree with tomnkellyp this story isn't all sex and more sex on top of that.
There's the right balance between hot sex, interesting character's storylines, funny bits, serious and sometimes sad moments, heartwarming scenes ands some smartss remarks here and there. :biggrin:

This last chapter was more in the funny bits, fueled by Garth's discovery, but I have to second Jake's statement about not putting life at risk (Lucky in this case) while uncovering some evidence on Hastings, Dickerson and now even Aikens (as they're the closest thing to Mob Josh and friends could find). We don't want them to hurt themselves somehow carelessly while trying to find the truth.

The second part of the chapter gave us a couple of new developments on Tyler (what's on those letters?) and Jules (oh the perfect timing ever :lol: at least for Will #-o )

Can't wait for what's next :corn:

As always, great work ..| so keep it coming FT, keep it cumming ..|

PS. answering Chaz, I read the new chapters every Thursday and Sunday morning, freshly published at 4-5 am in the morning in my timezone
