The Coming of Josh

I agree with HF it was an entertaining chapter.

We don't know the true Logan, apart from his focus on work. It could be that's truly him or there may be some private parts of him we don't know yet (little pun intended ;) )

And I didn't think of FT setting up a storyline between Tyler and Clark since they both will be on the plane towards Key West, as I didn't think of involving the Bureau's help through Cal in finding Joseph.

Something interesting will surely come our way, and I can't wait :corn:

As always, great work (y) so keep it coming FT, keep it cumming (y)
 
I agree with HF and Thanatos this was a very entertaining chapter.

I agree with Thanatos we don't really know Logan very well.... yet.

Logan did tell Josh during his interview that he did bartend at a gay bar while he attended college but did not divulge anything more personal to date. Hopefully now that summer break is coming Josh will have the time to know Logan a little better.

Hopefully the FBI can give the search for Joseph the nudge it needs to finally find him.

I am excited for the next installment.

I agree with all my bent bros on how entertaining this chapter was as usual. You never cease to disappoint, FT. I too thought about the possibilities out there for a Tyler/Clark involvement since the two will be going to Key West on the same plane. Tod, Chad, Logan, Clark, Tyler and Josh will be going. Logan is socially awkward it seems, although Will likes working with him, thinking he's great at what he does. He does seem to know his stuff. He is very driven in his quest for business and success, maybe to a fault. I'm kind of wondering what the relationship between Clark and Logan will be like. I hope there isn't any jealousy on Logan's part if Clark is a winner with our boys. He'll have to be careful in that area possibly. Then again if Clark wins Josh over, that should make Logan happy. That seems to be the primary reason Logan hired Clark was to relate to our guys, even titillate them. He did call him eye-candy for our guys. Already we see signs he's much more than that. Josh seems impressed with him so far. I have a feeling we'll get to know him much better on the trip to Key West.

Will is still frustrated about Cal. Josh told Cal to quit trying so hard. Whether Cal can do that or not is still up in the air. Now that they're neighbors, anything could happen. Could be quite interesting. I'm sure FT will make it interesting regardless.

I like the idea of Cal getting involved to help find Joseph. Hopefully his sources can help find the boy if he's still around or wherever he went. Maybe there will be more clues when they meet with the PI in the City. Poor Edgar is obsessed with finding Joseph. I'm sure we all wish he finds him. When they do, it'll be interesting to see what he's like or how he accepts our guys. Will he shun them or love them? Major question there. That is, if they find him. Who knows?

Can the Josh and Jake love Will anymore than they have? Forest better watch out. Here's hoping we have another great chapter tonight to take us further down the road as entertaining as that might be. Thanks so much for the great story, FT. We can't get enough. BC
 
Gotta go with my Bent Buds! (group)

Interesting speculations. Tyler and Clark? Would it be Fair to tie that much Male Beauty up together? Then again, Josh and Jake already have a stable to rival Bel Ami! :drool: \:/

I get the impression that Tyler is not all that interested in looks. As has been noted, he seems to dismiss other males rather casually. It wasn't Will's looks that he was getting closer to. He is searching for what is in his heart. He seems to regard outer packages as mere wrapping. ..|

So ... Flights to the City and Key West cumming up. Um ... how many butts does a King Air lift? (o)

Curious minds want to know! :gogirl: (*8*) :kiss:
Chaz :luv2:

P.S.
What are the odds that Joseph is already in the SE fold? Edgar himself? Maybe Dylan? Would that be too much like "jumping the shark"? #-o
 
Very interesting comments and speculations this time around. Chaz made a great point regarding Tyler. We know he's never shown much of an interest in other males for their physical look. He was quizzing/flirting with Will to get to know more about love between two males. Will was intrigued by Tyler's physical beauty, but Tyler was more interested in what Will felt for Josh, not that Will isn't pretty handsome himself. As BC asked, can Josh and Jake love Will anymore than they have. They are all tight, but Will and Josh are a tinge tighter, just like Jake and Terry are a tinge tighter, but nothing is as tight as Josh and Jake. Let not your hearts be troubled. Ha.

Brian is right, and I almost forgot it, that Logan did mention to Josh he had tended bar at a gay bar for a short period of time. You guys remember certain things better than I do. There is more to that story that I haven't written yet, and damn near forgot it. Thank you, Brian. I need to keep better notes on what is hanging out there. In this case, I haven't gotten to that point I needed to write about Logan's brief gay bar tending.

Anyway, more fun is on its way. I'll be back to you by Wednesday as I'm on a roll for some reason. My fingers just can't stop but it's been fun lately. Hope you have a great rest of your weekend unless there's not much left where you are. In the meantime, please stay Healthy, Safe and Happy. FT
 
Chapter 683 – Finishing Exams and Meeting the New Guy

Jake and I actually got a peaceful night’s sleep after all the hectic craziness on Tuesday. Oh, we couldn’t help but play with each other’s junk some and get each other stimulated to a certain extent, but most of it was soft petting, just enjoying each other’s naked body and the closeness we felt to one another. I did manage to tell him how Tyler tricked me into showing up at their house and the fuckathon that followed. Jake actually got a kick out of that, saying the Tyler was really getting desperate.

“Just don’t let him wear out this beautiful cock of yours next week in Key West to the point you can’t come back and fuck me good. I’ll miss you terribly for the few days you’re gone,” Jake commented, which got him a lot of passionate kissing.

“We have got to find him someone to love, Jake. This can’t go on like this. He’s content to play second fiddle to you, and now he thinks he has to compete with Will for second place. It’s getting a little out of control. I mean, having sex with him is hot as hell, but he needs someone that can love him back like he wants to love. The problem is he can’t clone me and he seems fixated on finding another me. Actually, he thinks that’s not possible so I’m going to have to keep helping him out which I’d rather not do. Then there’s the problem of Sue and what does he tell her and when. It’s all so confusing,” I replied. Jake agreed.

“Well, maybe through some real soul searching in Key West you two might come up with a solution. For both your sakes, let’s hope some revelation appears. Maybe he’ll meet someone at the PF and fall in love, which would definitely take care of the problem unless the other guy lives on the West Coast or something,” Jake suggested. I told Jake, fat chance of that ever happening as he always stuck completely by my side, reminding Jake of the time he jumped in my lap at the hot tub and kissed me passionately to show the guys hitting on him that I was his boyfriend, reminding Jake that was while Tom and James were still there, shocking all of us. Jake remembered the story and laughed. “I would have given anything to see the look on your face, not knowing he really was in love with you then,” Jake said, chuckling.

“Hey, it was one hell of a shock. But, the bigger shock came the next morning after Tom and James left for the airport early morning and I wake up with a hard cock up against my asshole, roll over thinking Tom and James haven’t left, only to find Tyler in bed with me with his beautiful cock knocking at me door. Now that was an even bigger shock than the night before,” I explained, with Jake actually laughing.

“Well at least there’s been some great stories come out of this relationship. I like all the times Tyler’s shocked Rod. No one can do it better than him. He’s the best at that,” Jake replied. “It’s so worth it to see Rod’s face not knowing the truth as to what’s going on. It’s just over the top. Look at it this way, Josh, Tyler is great entertainment value for sure. And, he’s a sweet kid that’s trying to find his way in life with a difficult mission. Hey, that’s not easy coming out. Remember my folks when we told them. I still don’t think they believed us, or are just in denial. Maybe one of these days they’ll get it. My sister says every time she brings it up, they just ignore her. She thinks they’re both crazy. The like you and all, but I just don’t think they see you as my significant other and boyfriend. I used to worry about it, but I don’t anymore. Let them think what they want to think is what I’ve decided, and just go on with our lives. They’ll either choose to be in it or not. I really don’t care anymore,” Jake said, somewhat frustrated with his parents, but happy with his life with no regrets.

“They love you, Jake. You know they’ll always love you. Whether they choose to accept me as your significant other may be up in the air, but the fact is, they still love you, which is the way it’s supposed to be,” I told him.

“So, if Tyler goes through with ‘coming out’ sometime, how is that going to go over with the family?” Jake asked. I sighed.

“Well, as I told you, his dad will be fine with it, wanting Tyler to find true love in life, regardless what gender that might be as long as it’s real. He somewhat regrets the love he let get away, but not totally, because he had Tyler and Tink and loves them both. Still, he wants Tyler to find true love. He always knew Tink would find himself, but he feared Tyler might make the same mistake he did, and that concerned him,” I explained.

“Wow, if my parents were only that understanding,” Jake replied. “I just know one thing. You and I found each other, and no one can ever tear us apart no matter what,” Jake told me, then kissed me passionately.

“I’d rather die than let that happen, Jake. We can never let anyone ever spit us apart, ever,” I told him. We did a little serious snuggling together, then fell asleep in each other’s arms.

I had my Accounting final and Real Estate final on Wednesday morning. I had been excused by both profs, Dennis and Bill, but I didn’t want to be accused of having any special favors by anyone, so I planned on showing up to take both finals. Accounting was first. Thad met me at the apartment, greeting both Jake and me with a nice kiss. He and I headed out to the Accounting final after I kissed Jake goodbye and wished him luck on his final this morning.

“You ready for this?” I asked Thad with a big smile.

“What, our private viewing of Dennis’ big cock or the Accounting final?” he asked, making me laugh.

“Both, I guess. Kind of forgot about our before class ritual. Damn, if he hasn’t changed this year, not that we had anything to do with any of that,” I replied, making Thad chuckle.

“It is a nice cock, Josh. No denying that. Can’t say I hated seeing the damn thing three times a week. We were getting rather familiar with it this semester for sure. I wouldn’t mind sucking the damn thing to see what it gives up,” Thad replied.

“Hey, that might be good for extra points. Who knows?” I chided. Thad cracked up, but said he wouldn’t put it past Dennis for sure.

Dennis was happy to see us when we showed up. We both got hugs. “Damn, and to think this is the last time I’m going to have the pleasure of having you guys in my office until the fall. Who knows what the schedule will be like then. I just hope we have time to chat a bit before class anyway. You guys have been great to hang with this semester, not to mention the great lunches, and look what all we’ve accomplished. I got Phee to finally fuck and Burt likes the action also. The bitches are gone for good and all is good,” Dennis proclaimed. Thad and I chuckled.

“Got to admit, Dennis, it has been damn interesting. Kind of weird the way you teased us at the beginning of the semester, not wanting us to see you dick and all, then hell, now we’ve got a damn near personal relationship with it. Going to miss seeing the damn thing this summer unless you come swim with us on Sundays for our skinny-dipping parties at the house,” I told him. Dennis chuckled.

“Oh, the three of us will show up sometime for sure. We’re thinking of showing up on Saturday nights for Gay Night also. Wouldn’t mind shaking the python at all those horny guys that’d love a piece of it. Might be kind of fun, and it’d be great to catch up with you two,” Dennis replied. “Don’t suppose you guys would like saying goodbye to my dick since you won’t be seeing it for a while?” he asked.

“Oh, could we kiss it goodbye?” Thad asked, eagerly. Dennis was more than excited to drop trou and haul it out. I have to say, it was one hell of a big cock on such a skinny lanky guy. I swear that boy was all dick. There was just so much of it hanging in front of him with those low hanging balls hanging from his hairy base.

“Go ahead, Thad, kiss my dick goodbye if you like,” Dennis somewhat urged. Thad hesitatingly picked up Dennis’ long flaccid penis and kissed the head of it several times, then engulfed the whole head inside his mouth and sucked it rather aggressively. “Oh fuck, Thad,” Dennis hollered, throwing back his head. Thad got embarrassed and stopped. “Shit, don’t stop now that you got me all excited. Finish me off,” Dennis urged. Thad didn’t have to be told twice. He fisted and sucked on Dennis’ big cock and then came off him just in time as Dennis shot three large ropes of cum across the small office, hitting the wall behind us. I was totally amazed, as was Dennis. “Fuck, that was fucking wild, Thad. Damn, boy, you need to come over some night and show Phee and Burt how to suck cock the right way. Wow, that was awesome,” Dennis said, trying to catch his breath. Thad looked up at me as if to ask if I wanted any part of it. I shook my head smiling like, WTF. I leaned down and sucked the rest of his cum from the python and smacked my lips.

“I could almost tell you what you had for breakfast, but damn, Dennis. Your cum is sweet,” I chided. I can’t believe what just happened, but I won’t forget it,” I chided.
 
Chapter 683 - B
“You two are amazing. Not only are you my two top students in class, but you’re good people also and now great friends, rather intimate friends, I’d say,” Dennis replied, still trying to catch his breath. “Well, I guess I have a little cleaning to do before the day is over. What a way to start off the day,” Dennis chided. “I think we better go to class before we get too overly involved.” Thad and I agreed. Dennis stuffed his cock back inside his bikini briefs and pulled up his skinny jeans. “Wait,” he said, before Thad opened the door to his office to leave. He hugged Thad and gave him a nice kiss. Then he did the same to me. “You two have become very special friends, and I just wanted you to know I appreciate you more than you’ll ever know,” he told us. Dennis had a rather large bulge for sure this time on his way to class, and didn’t mind if we looked at it all the way.

We both finished up the final in just over an hour, having two hours to complete it. Dennis gave us a special wink as we turned in our exams. Thad asked me how I thought I did. “I think I might have missed a couple I struggled with, but I’m almost sure I got all the rest of them,” I replied.

“Like you, there were two that bugged me also. I’ll bet you anything, when we get our grades, you and I will have a perfect score,” Thad remarked. I laughed, but figured he was probably right after the sendoff we gave Dennis.

“Hey, Thad, whatever possessed you to suck Dennis’ cock? Man you lit into that like a hungry dog with a steak in front of him,” I chided. Thad chuckled.

“I’m not really sure, Josh. I just went to give it a couple of kisses and there it was, a beautiful big dick that just begged to be sucked. I couldn’t help myself. I had to swallow that hot cock and give it everything I had. Damn if he didn’t cum something fierce too. I really didn’t expect that. I thought he’d give me a few moments, then bundle it up again. No, he went for the total yards all the way to the finish. Damn did he finish too. Wow. That was fun and well worth it. You got to taste it too,” Thad replied. I almost laughed.

“Yeh, after you milked his balls. Had a great taste to it, I have to admit. We could have some fun with that big dick and that skinny ass of his also. Wouldn’t mind driving my dick up that tight skinny ass with that big cock swinging in front of him, maybe jerking him off at the same time I fucked him. I could see it,” I replied.

“I guess you can. You’ve got a bulge in your shorts just thinking about it,” Thad teased. He was right, I had a semi on it’s way to full mast. Thad felt my groin to feel my growing prowess. He just smiled.

“Guess I better think about something else,” I replied.

Thad was done for the day and heading over to see what he could do to help at the dormitory. I ran over to the office between exams, figuring I could maybe get a couple of things done there before my Real Estate final. Will had just come back from the dorm, where he told me everything was moving smoothly and guys would be showing up all morning with most everyone there by this afternoon.

“You look like you’re glowing this morning,” I told him as I gave him a quick kiss. That made him almost giddy.

“After the loving you and Jake gave me last night, I’m sure I’m glowing,” Will replied. “Did Cal say anything after I left last night?” Will asked eagerly. I smiled.

“He really likes you, Will, but I know you’ve figured that out. I know the thought of that concerns you somewhat because you like him also whether you want to admit it or not. I’m sure he respects the fact you have a boyfriend, and would never do anything to interfere with the relationship you have with Forest, but he would love to be friends. He hates there seems to be a wedge between the two of you and wishes you both could start over,” I replied. Will smiled.

“I was kind of abrupt and a little hard on him yesterday. I didn’t want to come off that way, but that’s the way it came out,” Will confessed.

“You were fighting back the fact you had feelings for him, that’s all. You were more at war with yourself for feeling the way you did, then you took it out on him. I think he understands, as he asked me what he had to do to just be friends with you, since he admires you so much. I told him just to be himself and quit trying so hard. He seems like he’s resigned himself to doing just that, so let’s see if things aren’t better the next time you guys meet,” I explained.

“He is a decent guy, like you said. If he wasn’t so damned attractive both in looks and personality, it might be easier to befriend him. Still, I thought once he moves in, Forest and I can take a bottle of wine over to his place and the two of us get to know him better. If I can’t trust an FBI agent to keep a secret, who can I?” Will asked. I chuckled.

“I actually think that’s a great idea, Will. I think both you and Forest would enjoy him. That might help you in your relationship with Forest also, the fact you can have somewhat of a social life with some friends like Cal for sure. I just know he could be a lot of fun and Forest needs a social life also whether he doesn’t want to chance it or not. The three of you getting together wouldn’t be overly obvious to the world so you could enjoy each other socially. It would be good for all three of you. I certainly don’t need Cal hanging with us all the time, nor does he need the reputation for doing that, so a friendship between the three of you just might help everyone out,” I suggested.

“Actually, that’s probably a good idea. At least Forest could have a friend that he can trust also and is professional like the rest of us. It would be good for both of us I suspect. I’m sure Cal is probably lonely also, not knowing anyone here in town but us, so it would be good for him too. Makes perfect sense, Josh. Maybe Sunday night after our get-together at the house, we’ll drop in and give him a small house warming, at least let Forest and him meet,” Will replied. I patted him on the back, telling him I thought that was great and would help me out also. Will got a kick out of that.

I told Will that Cal offered to help locate Joseph. That shocked Will. “Wow, you know, Josh, we never thought about an agency such as the FBI helping to locate Joseph. We only thought to use a PI for that project. The FBI could be a huge help,” Will said, somewhat excited. “I swear Cal’s stock just went up even more.” I laughed.

“As if it wasn’t pretty high already in your book,” I teased. He laughed. “Well, actually the FBI doesn’t investigate missing persons if there hasn’t been a crime involved, and in this case, there doesn’t seem to have been, legally anyway. It is a crime that the bitch of a mother didn’t give Stoney partial custody or turn Joseph over to Stoney when she went to prison. Legally it wasn’t a crime, but morally, it was. That kid could have had a wonderful life and fulfilled Stoney’s life also for the short time he was with us. Needless to say, Cal is going to help us unofficially using the resources of the FBI to try to locate Joseph. There won’t be a case assigned to this, but he’ll make every effort to call in some favors to see what he can find out,” I explained. Will got so excited, he hugged me tightly and gave me several kisses. “You’re not going to start what we did last night all over again, are you? I’ve got another final in less than an hour, and I won’t have time to give you the attention you demand in bed,” I chided. Will shook his head, and chuckled.

“We are so bad, Josh. But, I couldn’t love someone more than I love you, and you know that,” he replied. I told him I loved it too. He hugged me again. “I’m so excited that this could actually be the help we need to find Joseph. Won’t Edgar be all excited? That will really make his day when you tell him. He wants to find Joseph more than anyone because of what happened to him. Rightly so,” Will replied.

“My worries now is that if we do find him, what if he’s homophobic and can’t stand the thought of finding out about his father being gay and all. That could be rather traumatic for a guy his age. He might really be upset and angry at us for telling him about his father and about us,” I replied.

“Oh, you don’t think that could possibly happen, do you?” Will asked. I shrugged my shoulders.

“You never know. He might have grown up angry at the world for his situation. You just never know. He might be a druggie, living on the streets for all we know, with a broken childhood like he had. Edgar is sure he’s going to love all of us, but what if he doesn’t want anything to do with us and hates us for finding him? This could be a blessing or a curse. He might try to extort money out of us to use for drugs or something. We have no idea who this kid is, even if we do find him,” I replied.

“I’m like Edgar. I’m going to hope for the best and think he’s going to love us all,” Will replied. I told him I liked his thinking and could only hope he was right. If not, we wouldn’t know how to prepare for what we found. “Hope for the best, Josh. That’s all we can do,” Will replied. I gave him another hug and quick kiss. “Gees, I’ve had more kisses from you and more sex than I have from Forest lately. You think I should be concerned?” he chided.

“We can fix that rather quickly by cutting you off until Forest gets back,” I teased. He laughed, telling me he enjoyed every second of it. I told him I did also and Jake was right there with us. That made him extremely happy.

I met Blake and we headed to see Bill for our Real Estate exam, our last exam for this school year. “What you told Kyle last night, about the remarks Kenny made to Clay, really shook Kyle up, Josh,” Blake told me.
 
Chapter 683 - C
“Really? Here, I thought he’d appreciate hearing that he ultimately was loved and it wasn’t just pretend to defraud him. I would have felt better hearing that, to know I really did matter and wasn’t just a prop in a scam,” I replied.

“Oh, I think it did, but it brought back a whole lot of memories with him trying to figure out certain moments and things that were said to find real meaning to them, as if he thought he had a movie all figured out, until he saw it differently a second time and realized he missed the whole meaning of it. Yes, the second viewing was more meaningful, but there’s still that question of how did I miss that? Does that make sense?” Blake asked.

“Kind of, but in all reality, Kenny really did care for Kyle, at least we think he did. We still don’t know if he’s being truthful with Clay or just playing him also. I will say one thing, however. Kenny is not faking the sex at all. That boy is one hot player. Damn, if he doesn’t get us all excited. If he was that good with Kyle, no wonder Kyle had so much trust in him. Hell, I would’ve given him everything I had and more if he lit my ass up like he does Clay’s,” I replied. Blake wasn’t sure how to take that.

“So, does he really make love better than I could ever do for Kyle?” Blake asked, somewhat concerned.

“Blake, forget that remark, because there’s huge difference in lovers here. First of all, the relationship you have with Kyle is pure, unadulterated love. Sex is just something that enhances that relationship, giving intimacy to it and making it even more meaningful. Kyle knows you truly love him and that’s all that matters, Blake. He would never have the relationship, or even come close to it with Kenny, that he has with you. No way whatsoever. He knows that also. You are the love of his life and will remain that way for as long as the two of you are together. You have nothing to be concerned about in the sex department either. You’re super hot in that department. In fact, I miss you at times, wishing I could hold you in my arms and make love to you like we used to do. Kyle too for that matter. But I know the two of you love one another and that’s all that matters. Jake and I love you both also which is even greater. That would never have happened with Kenny involved. Kyle even said he’s never been happier in his life, and he meant it, Blake. Be grateful that you were the one that brought him happiness,” I assured him. He stopped and hugged me tightly, then gave me a quick kiss.

“You make us all happy, Josh. Great things just keep coming to all of us because of you. I couldn’t love you more than I do, and Kyle feels the same way,” Blake replied.

“Good deal. I love to be loved,” I chided. “If you and Kyle need some reminding of how much Jake and I love you, we need to get together sometime and we’ll show you again,” I teased. He playfully hit me in the arm as we were just arriving at our classroom for the final exam, but told me that was a deal.

Bill was shocked to see us. “What are you two doing here?” he asked, surprised to see us. I asked him if he didn’t have our final scheduled for today and at this time. He laughed. “I did, but that was for the administration only. I’m not giving any fucking final this morning. As soon as everyone gets here, I’ll give them their grades and tell them to have a great summer. That’s why I told you two you didn’t even have to show up today,” Bill replied. I rolled my eyes.

“You made us walk all the way over here for nothing?” I asked, as if I was perturbed. Bill asked me if I was nuts. “Okay, so you did tell us we didn’t need to take the final, but we didn’t want any special treatment from the rest of the class,” I replied.

“I fucking give you a gift and you don’t even appreciate it,” Bill said teasingly. I told him we really did, and we were sorry if that came off the wrong way. “Well that’s better. I need to get with you sometime to arrange that trip to Key West. I just might like to check that out. Is it true what happens down there, stays down there?” he asked. I told him that was guaranteed. “I like the sound of that. To my trophy girlfriend, this will be a short business trip involving real estate that she can’t come with me. If I should happen to get poked in the ass while I’m there, all the better,” he informed us. Blake and I laughed. I told him to let me know some dates and I’d see what I could do. He thanked me profusely, then we took off, telling him to have a great summer. He told us to pop into his real estate office sometime, not be strangers. We assured him we’d try, even though I had no interest in getting to know him any better than I already did.

Blake and I took our time returning to the CNB as we were a little early for lunch. Blake asked me if Will was upset with Cal for some reason as he seemed a little curt with him last evening after work. I laughed when he brought that up, not really wanting to go into their flirting with each other as if to add more fuel to the fire.

“It’s complicated, Blake. The two really like one another, but Will doesn’t want anything to get started because he’s with his boyfriend. He’s tried nicely many times to let Cal know that, but Cal keeps flirting with him. He was trying to let him know to knock it off. That’s what that was all about last evening. They’re good now and all is fine,” I explained.

“Good grief. Is Cal gay then?” Blake asked. I chuckled.

“Who the hell knows. I’m not even sure if he knows. You know what happened to him when he was undercover. He got too close to the perp and thinks he fell in love with him. I’m not sure it was really love, as Cal put the dude in prison for supposedly a long time. I’m not sure he could have done that if he really loved the guy, unless he loves the bureau more than he loves himself,” I replied.

“Wow, that’s crazy. Still, he seems to really like all of us and even helps tend bar with us on Gay Night,” Blake replied. I smiled.

“He doesn’t have any friends here, Blake. What else is he going to do? Yes, he really enjoys all of us and we’re important to his investigation, but whether that makes him gay or not, I have no idea. He’s cute and all, but who knows who he really is, because I’m not sure he knows himself. We’ll just have to see what develops if anything,” I replied. Blake said this was all fascinating. So many things were going on at the apartment he missed out on when he left to live with Kyle. I told him he had the best of both worlds and not to sweat it.

The boys finally showed up for lunch. I briefed them about Cal’s willingness to help find Joseph, which blew them all away. Jordan said he’d never thought about pursuing the search from that angle. I told them it wasn’t an official search, just one where Cal would be calling in some favors for us to see if they could be of any help. Still, Jordan and Nate were blown away. I told them about flying down to Key West on Monday and asked if there was anyone here that needed to go along. Buzz said he really needed to go, but he had last minute revisions to do on the new science building for Kyle and asked Tod and Chad to possibly use Go To Meeting to conference him in on their discussions when they had something to talk about. Buzz said that would save a lot of time for him and still accomplish what he needed to get done as long as Tod and Chad were there. That settled, I figured we had Tod and Chad for two of them. No one else was planning to go, focusing their drive on the dorm and getting everything set up.

“So, other than Tod and Chad, are you the only one going on staff?” Will asked me. I smiled.

“Tyler is going too in order to see the Victorian that will be torn down and see what we can salvage for our Grand Victorian,” I replied, to Will’s concerned look. I knew what he was thinking, but this was not the place to discuss it. Will shot a look at Jake, who supported me by saying he thought that made the most sense. Will would know that I clued Jake in on everything, and Jake supporting me, would be a signal to Will to stay the hell out of it, as he gave it his blessing. Still, I expected a long drawn-out discussion with Will sometime before I left. I had to get the conversation going again to move off of that one. Everyone else thought nothing about it. “Oh, and Logan asked if he and the new guy could tag along to see if he could do more research into what he might be able to propose to us for his company to run the resorts down there, much like they’re going to run Stoney Hall here. I’m not sure it will yield any benefit to him or us, but if he wants to tag along, I guess it’s okay, just in case he discovers some huge revelation that will make us millions more, which I highly doubt. I think there is some merit into having his company run the Grand Victorian, but not necessarily the gay resorts. He did say they had an excellent reservation system, which we could desperately use, but I’m not sure Garth couldn’t put together something for us on a proprietary basis,” I replied.

“Takes time to develop those things and if they have one, maybe we could use it and pay the royalties and maintenance on it, but not have them run the resorts,” Nate mentioned. I told him that was a distinct possibility.

Looking at Nate, Jordan and Buzz across the table, I saw their jaws drop and their faces get excited all of a sudden. Then I heard Logan’s voice asking if they were interrupting anything if he introduced us to Clark. From the looks on their faces, this Clark guy had to be really something else. Will jumped up to congratulate Clark, telling him he was his number one choice for the manager’s position and was glad he accepted it. That was all bullshit as he didn’t recommend anyone and was surprised that Logan picked him. I wanted to laugh, but remained professional and turned around then stood up.
 
Chapter 683 - D
“Josh, this is Clark Williams, our new manager of Stoney Hall. Clark, this is Josh, the president and CEO of Stoney Enterprises, LLC, the owners of Stoney Hall and many other entities we hope to help them manage in the future,” Logan introduced us. I shook his hand, giving him a very warm welcome. Damn, if he wasn’t even more beautiful than Will described him. My jaw almost dropped. As Logan introduced him around the room to all the other guys, including Jake, who he introduced as my significant other and the COO of the business, I almost salivated as I ran my eyes all over this amazing male species wondering how he could ever be as beautiful as he was, at least to my taste. He had on a tight polo shirt that showed off his Jake-like chest and even perky nipples. He had curly blonde surfer hair that shined. His shoulders were broad and his waist narrow. His dockers were tight accentuating his solid tight male buns and a very nice bulge in the front conjuring up all kinds of erotic ideas as to what the equipment, tightly constrained by the slacks, were holding back. Damn, if he wasn’t gorgeous. I thought I was going to have to get a fan out and fan myself, he was almost too hot to look at. Logan didn’t seem to be bothered by any of this male beauty at all. I could have cared less if he did, but damn, it was going to be hard to work with someone as distracting as Clark. Maybe in time, the shock and awe would wear off, especially if he had an attitude like most guys that know they’re gorgeous have. One could only hope. I wanted to dislike him in the worst way so I wasn’t tempted to lust after him.

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet all of you. Logan has told me so many great things about you gentlemen in particular, and how wonderful Stoney Enterprises is. He says you are fantastic folk to work with and have made him feel like part of your family here. I can’t tell you how wonderful that sounds to me and how much I appreciate the opportunity to work with and get to know all of you,” Clark told us.

“Pull up a couple of chairs and tell us about yourself,” I offered. We grabbed a couple more chairs and made room for them to sit with us. I had Eric bring them some ice tea also. “So where are you from and how did you land here with us?” I asked. Clark gave us a million-dollar smile, that made you want to melt.

“Nothing exciting about me, Josh. I grew up in Southern California. I liked to surf a lot, which is why my hair is so blonde, I think. Too much sun I guess, but I loved the waves and the freedom of traversing the power they had. It’s a real thrill. If you guys have ever surfed the big waves, you know it’s a real thrill. I love a challenge and I think surfing helped me realize how much I do like challenges and I’m not afraid to take them on. I went to school there at USC and graduated in Hospitality Management, earing a bachelor’s degree, and was fortunate enough while in college to enter a management internship at one of the larger hotels there in LA. I must have impressed the management team as I was made the assistant manager on nights while I was in college and the assistant manager on days when I graduated. I seemed to climb the ladder rather quickly, and soon became one of the reps for the hotel chain, doing something similar to what Logan did, moving from hotel to hotel to find solutions to problems and fix them. The work was really interesting ,and I was pretty successful at it as I was paid a large salary for someone just coming out of college. But, that’s all behind me now and I’m glad I’m here with you guys and have this opportunity to see if we can’t make this the best well-managed dormitory in our system,” Clark explained.

“Clark, if you were so successful in LA with your hotel chain, what brought you to Uni of all places? The last time I checked I don’t remember seeing any oceans nearby with large waves to surf,” I chided. Clark gave us another million-dollar smile making me want to melt one more time.

“Well, that’s an important question. Why did I abandon all of that and move to the Midwest where there aren’t any oceans or waves? I’ll tell you. It’s very simple. The people of the Midwest are totally down to earth in comparison with the West Coast, especially LA where all the ‘special people’ the movie stars and all the huge money and craziness that goes with all the tinsel town bullshit, excuse my language, but it’s true. I had a friend from the Midwest and he was the most down to earth person I ever knew. He was from Iowa where Will told me he was from during my interview. I went home with him for summer vacation, the year before I started my internship. I really fell in love with the people there, good down to earth, I am what I am, type people. All of you are special, genuine and real, not fake, like everyone seems to be out West. It’s just a different world here, a real world, and I wanted to be part of it,” Clark explained, holding us in awe as he did.

“So when did you decide to make the change? Something trigger that, since you seemed to like the job you had and all?” I asked. Clark smiled again, but was a little nervous.

“I don’t mind telling you all this, because from what Logan has explained to me, you are all very understanding great guys. I had a falling out with a significant other, who for the several years we were together, I thought I genuinely loved and cared about, only to find out I was one of several this last year that he cared about. I was so distraught and tired of all the fakeness I was living in. I could tolerate working in that environment as long as my home life was genuine and real. When I found out that was fake also, I said to hell with it, I’m going to live in the Midwest and find me a real job with real people. I started looking on one of those major job sites, put my resume out there and one of their recruiters was looking for someone for Logan and contacted me, asking me if I was interested. I looked up everything I could find about this town and University. You guys have an amazing basketball team for sure and your football team isn’t that bad either. I used to play football in high school, but I was too busy earning a degree in college. I made a trip here a few weeks ago to interview with Logan and Will and I knew this was the place. It all seemed perfect to me. Logan called and made me an offer, telling me you guys were up and coming and upward mobility would not be a problem if I liked working with all of you. Thus, here I am. Logan gave you all glowing remarks by the way,” Clark replied. I smiled and stuck out my hand to shake his again.

“I guess Logan doesn’t know us all well enough to tell you the truth about all of us, but you’ll learn soon enough,” I teased, making both of them laugh. “Honestly, we run our company and our lives with honesty and integrity. Our corporate motto is basically brother helping brother to help us all succeed and prosper. We basically stop at nothing to care for and help one another. We may drive you crazy because we care so much. And, I can’t tell you how wonderful your philosophy sounds to us also. You’ll fit right in with all of us, Clark. We’re actually excited to have you with us, knowing what we know,” I told him. That seemed to make Clark extremely happy. “By the way, we’re very informal around here with the management team and all of us that are involved in the company, so feel free to make use of all our facilities. You’re welcome to eat and drink here at the CNB at no charge and be part of us when you’re not doing your thing at the dormitory. Logan has helped us tend bar a couple of times. I think he actually had a great time doing it with us,” I offered.

“Well, I can certainly tend bar, as that was part of our training in hotel management. The bar in a hotel is one of the most profitable areas of the business, and if you have a bartender call of, it can mean considerable lost profits, so we had to be able to step in and help out if needed. I rather enjoyed it when it happened,” Clark replied. Logan was just beaming, thinking he hit the motherload with Clark. I kind of thought he did also.

We talked for several minutes more, really getting to know Clark, all of us impressed by his professionalism and extremely pleasant personality. They were getting ready to go back to the dormitory as it was a busy place today for sure. Will and Jake said they needed to get over there also. “Oh, by the way, Logan, we are flying to Key West on Monday if you and Clark want to tag along. We’ll probably be there for three days, I’d say, coming back on Thursday morning. We’ll leave Monday morning about 8:00 from Uni airport, if you want to plan on that,” I offered. You’d have thought I’d just given him a million dollars.

“Oh, thank you, Josh. You’re the greatest. We’ll definitely formulate a plan that will excite this whole management team,” Logan replied. I thought to myself that Clark had just excited this whole management team far more than a plan Logan could ever develop, but that was my own private opinion. “Clark, we have our first opportunity to expand our business here with Stoney Enterprises. We have to be able to show them what we can really do when given an opportunity like this. I promise you, Josh, Clark and I won’t let you down,” Logan replied excitedly. So far he was right about that, as I gazed at Clark one last time before they had to leave. I gave them both a handshake and bro hug, which Clark seemed to really appreciate. I also told them to come back for beer for cocktail hour and fill us in on how everything went today. Logan seemed thrilled for that opportunity again. Off they went.
 
Chapter 683 - E
“Okay, boys, who didn’t precum in their briefs when they met Clark?” I teased. They all looked guilty as hell.

“Clark is amazing if he’s real,” Jordan replied. Nate thought he was fantastic and wondered if all the guys from LA were that hot looking. Ken joked, he wasn’t sure he loved James anymore, making me laugh. All Blake could say was ‘WOW!’.

“Well, Clark sure made all of our day for sure. Now lets hope he’s just as great as he started out to be. Hopefully, he only gets better,” I replied.

We broke up from lunch, and I gave Tuck a call, telling him I could head his way if he was ready. “Get your ass over here then, and make me feel great again,” he chided. I told him I was on my way.

Tuck was all excited to see me again as I walked into is office. He jumped up and picked me up in the air giving me a big hug. “Damn, I’ve missed you, Josh. We don’t get together often enough. We have to get better at that,” he said as he hugged me tightly, my feel still off the ground.

“I’d say I see you about as much as my ass can take,” I chided making him laugh. He said we didn’t have to do that every time we got together, but he sure did appreciate it when we did. I told him he was good. “So what are all those folders on your desk you’re looking through? Those the possible new guys for next year?” I asked, as he put me back down on my feet.

“You bet. Forest and I’ve gone through them and these are the guys coming to summer tryouts once I get back from my honeymoon,” he told me.

“Gees, they have to wait until then to see if they get cut?” I asked. He smiled, telling me that was the breaks. He said that was the normal time anyway to start the summer tryouts. I had forgotten when it was last year that I rescued Chase.

“You taking good care of Chase, Caleb and Dave this summer?” he asked me, somewhat anxious to know they were in good shape.

“The best, Tuck. Just for you, buddy,” I replied, getting a big smile out of him. He told me he was relieved to hear that. “They’re here in town all summer working on the new dormitory we’re opening in the fall. They started today and are setting up furniture in the rooms. Not hard work, but it’ll keep them busy and out of trouble for the summer,” I assured him.

“Just don’t let them get injured. They’re our ticket to another national championship again next year. We’re on a roll. Got a few superstars in this mix coming up also. Of course, they may need your attention to whip them into shape. Going to miss Larry and Gary this year. Damn, I hate to lose them, but guys graduate and others take their places. A couple of the newbies may have some of the same stuff. They’re pretty good three-point shooters. Forest will have to work with them to perfect their shooting. That’s one thing we could always count on from Larry and Gary. Of course, Caleb and Dave are great at it also. Need some depth there. It’ll all work out eventually. This is the time of the year that just bugs me until I can get my hands on the guys, find out what we’ve got and whip them into shape. Right now, it’s just a guessing game. Makes me nervous,” Tuck confessed, making me smile.

“You’ll be fine, Tuck. You always worry about everything, and it all works out. You’ve got Forest who’s proved himself over and over. Between the two of you, you’ll do fine,” I assured him.

“Between the three of us, you mean. I’m not letting you off the hook. You’re my good luck charm if there ever was one. You’re just as important to the team as Forest and me. You keep the two of us headed in the right direction when our heads get out of sync,” he commented, making me laugh. ”Anyway, let’s go shower and get to the massage. I need a good massage in the worst way and no one is better at it than you. Plus, you give happy endings,” he chided, then chuckled.

“You mean my end gets happy making Hector happy. That’s what you meant to say,” I teased. He totally agreed. We stripped naked in the locker room then showered under the same shower head. I lathered him up good, getting him good and clean. He returned the favor, not as good as I did him, but we got through it. He was still somewhat hesitant doing to me what I did to him, but he was getting better at it, the more we did it. I wasn’t complaining. He felt good, running his hands all over my naked sudsy body. We both had boners as we hustled off to the training room and he hopped up on the table, putting his head down in the hole at the top of the massage table. I wasted no time hopping up on his naked ass straddling that, my balls resting on the small of his back and my rock-hard cock pointing towards the ceiling. It hadn’t relaxed just yet. I grabbed some oil and began massaging his shoulders and arms, then neck, giving him a couple of kisses on the back and sides of his neck.

“You send chills through my body every time you do that, Josh. It’s just wonderful. Just think we get to spend a whole night together in a couple more weeks the night before I get hitched. Wow, I’m not sure which part of the wedding I’m more excited about, the night with you in bed with me where we can reminisce and you can massage me, or the next day when I get hitched. I think I like the night before. I’ve been practicing for my wedding night for some time now with Millie although she did cut me off a couple of weeks ago just so our wedding night will feel like the first time, according to her. Yeh, right. All that did for me was back up my balls, which hopefully, you’ll take care of that for me today,” he chided as I dug deep into his shoulder muscles, making him groan.

“So tell me what all we have to do to get ready for this blessed event,” I teased. He chuckled. He told me we had to get measured for the Tux’s no later than the end of next week. “Hey, I’m going to be out of town, down at our properties in Key West Monday through Wednesday, back sometime Thursday next week, so keep that in mind,” I informed him. He said he’d make that work, but to call him when I got back so we could coordinate the four of us, Taylor, Forest, him and me to get measured. I promised to do so. “So, like am I going to have to escort the bridesmaid during this event?” I asked. He chuckled.

“Most of the women don’t bite, Josh. Yes, you’ll have Millie’s matron of honor to escort. She’s married so you don’t have to sit with her at the reception. She and Millie were roommates in college. Her husband seems nice also. He might be good looking enough for you to enjoy, so see what you think,” Tuck teased. I laughed and shook my head.

“I’m not there for sex, just for you, big guy. Who is Forest escorting around? I hope you picked out a cute one for him,” I suggested.

“Millie has taken care of that. Just so happens she’s available and isn’t dating anyone at the moment, having just broken up with her boyfriend. She’s a live one though. If Forest plays his cards right, he can get lucky that night and never have to see her again,” Tuck chided. I shook my head, asking if he was suggesting a one-night stand. “Hell, she lives in Michigan, Josh. When is he ever going to get back up there. Thank goodness you’re flying us up there or I’m not sure even I’d know where the hell we were going up there,” he chided. I asked him if he wasn’t up there over the Christmas holidays when he proposed to her. He chuckled. “Yes, but we flew into Grand Rapids, I think and then took a little commuter somewhere further north. All I remember is it was damn cold during that time. I thought Hector was going to catch cold. Thank goodness it's warm up there this time of year. The event is on a lake at a resort, but there’s not much else around. We can have a banquet room with a bar for your bachelor party you’re throwing for me, as that’s about all that’s available to us at the place. I’ll give you the information if you feel the need to call up there and see what we need to do to make the arrangements. I’ll pay for everything so don’t fret that,” he told me.

“Fuck you paying for everything. I think Taylor, Forest and I can handle that. You mind if my two pilots hang out there with us that night, and I will need a room for them to stay over Friday and Saturday. I’ll pick up the tab and the flights as part of my wedding gift to you two, not that I love you or anything,” I teased.

“I don’t want you to have to do anything like that, Josh. You were kind enough to supply the transportation. Let me get all the rest,” he urged. I told him that was nonsense and I didn’t want t hear him mention it again. I reminded him it was his generosity my Freshmen year that got me started in the business I was in, and had it not been for that large monetary gift he gave me, I’d be back on the farm for the summer and dirt poor. “Never happen, Josh. You are so resourceful, you’d be running some kind of extremely profitable enterprise like you are now. Nothing can hold you back. It’d never happen,” he told me. I chuckled.

“Tuck, our friendship has given us some tremendous advantages. I still remember the first day I met you during rush week when Eric and I showed up for the frat open house to see if we could possibly join,” I said.

“Oh shit, don’t remind me. You were such a cute smartass then. You and your bucket of balls and yard of dick. I’ll never forget that line you used. Blew me away. I knew we had to have you for the frat and that you were definitely going places. You just oozed confidence. Look at you now. You’ve never stopped growing. Josh, you are totally amazing. The crazy thing is we’ve been great for each other. You have definitely helped me and I helped you, but in a much smaller way,” Tuck replied, as I dug further into his back, scooting down over his ass with my balls now resting on top of his ass crack.
 
Chapter 683 - F


“Yes we have been good for each other in several ways,” I said, as I dug my fingers into his back muscles making him sigh. You’ll always be my big brother and I’ll always be your little brother,” I told him as I kissed him on the back.

“In all reality, I’d say you’re probably the bigger brother now, Josh, with all you’ve accomplished,” Tuck replied again sighing as I continued to deeply knead his muscles.

“One look at Hector and you definitely know who the bigger brother is,” I chided, making him chuckle.

“Dick size doesn’t always denote who the bigger man is, Josh,” he told me. I chuckled.

“Well, it might not to you, but to me, it means a whole hell of a lot. I just love Hector for many reasons,” I replied. Tuck shook his head telling me I was missing the point. “You know I love you, and that’s all that’s important. So tell me what do you want in the form of a bachelor party?” I asked.

“Nothing fancy, Josh. The bride’s maids husbands will be there with us also, and Millie has a couple of cousins close to your age so they’re welcome to hang with us. Not sure who else will be showing up male wise, but we have a small room with a bar and chairs so we’ll have a good time, I’m sure. Don’t need any strippers or anything like that. Just keep it quiet and nice. We’ll have some snacks also so no one goes hungry. The rehearsal dinner will be in the resort also in a private room at a restaurant there. The ceremony will be outside by the lake unless it’s raining, then it will be inside in a special area they have for special occasions. It’s not really the rainy season, so we should luck out and have it outside. The reception is in a tented area outside also, unless it’s raining and then it will be in a banquet hall inside. Keep your fingers crossed. Oh, and there is a band for dancing. Pick out a pretty girl and dance with her if you like. Don’t you, Taylor and Forest become wall flowers at the reception. Eat, drink and be merry,” Tuck suggested. I chuckled.

“What’s Taylor’s escort like? Is he going to fall in love or anything that night?” I asked. Tuck chuckled.

“She’s married so I doubt there will be any chance of him scoring with her as her hubby will be there, unless he picks up one of the cousins that will be there, but I think most of them are pretty young still. We need to look into finding him someone to at least date occasionally. I swear, he and Forest don’t seem to be doing well in that area,” Tuck commented.

“Maybe they’re late bloomers,” I suggested.

“Who the hell knows? Either that or they’re in love with their hand, and that keeps them happy. I mean you’ve got to get some relief somehow. I think Taylor used to date occasionally, but it was very rare. He ended up being the big brother type, turning most of the girls he dated into friends, not lovers. Anyway he seems happy so he must be keeping himself satisfied at least. I know his brother was gay, but I’ve never seen anything out of him that suggested he might be,” Tuck replied. “Your gaydar go off around him anytime?” Tuck chuckled. I slapped his ass cheek making a cracking sound.

“No, don’t get any gay vibes out of Taylor. He’s just a great guy from everything I’ve seen, working with all of us. He is like the big brother type, but not quite like my big brother,” I chided, slapping Tuck’s other ass cheek, making him teasingly yelp.

“Hey, it’s easy to be a big brother to you the way you treat me. Just be easy on the butt slaps, would you? Don’t want to have to explain red marks on my ass to Millie,” he remarked.

“Hey, question. Since I’m not sleeping with you on your wedding night, who am I bunking with?” I asked him.

“Now that’s a good question. Take your pick, either Forest or Taylor or whoever you get lucky with,” Tuck chided. “You and Forest have bunked together at games so I’m sure he’s fine with that, unless he gets lucky with Melinda, Millie’s bride’s maid. Then you might have to stay in the hallway,” he joked.

“Piss on that. I’ll sleep with you and Millie before I have to do that,” I teased him again, putting my elbow hard into one of his firm glutes,” making him cry out.

Oh, fuck me!” he cried out, as he felt my elbow give him a sharp pain on his ass cheek.

“I can do that,” I said, as I spread his ass cheeks apart and slapped my flaccid cock up against his furry asshole. He jumped.

“Easy there, tiger. I know you like that shit, but that’s not for me. That’s an out door, not an in door, unlike yours which seems to go both ways,” he replied chuckling. I laughed.

“Hey, you might want to try it sometime, Tuck. You might find out it’s pretty hot actually. You just might like it,” I teased. He sighed.

“I don’t know. You might have something there as much as you seem to enjoy it. I don’t think I’m quite ready for that in our relationship just yet, but we may get there someday. I’ll promise you one thing, however. If I ever get drunk enough to decide I want to try that, you’ll be the first one for sure,” he promised. I broke out laughing, putting my head down on his back. I kissed his bare back then laid on him and thrust my flaccid cock over his ass crack. “Oh, Josh, you are such a character, but I wouldn’t have you any other way,” he chided.
 
Well so far Clark seems like a down-to-earth nice guy, who moved on from his cheating boyfriend, leaving the glitter and fakeness of LA behind for the genuine people of the mid-west. He's gorgeous too, and successful in his work. And he's a relationship guy. (Surely there's a lot there to appeal to Tyler, ha!) But is he too good to be true? Impossibly good-looking and apparently so grounded. No-one is that perfect, are they? It will certainly be fun finding out more about Clark, that's for sure.

I won't comment on the rest of the chapter, other than to say I really enjoyed it. And I'm sure looking forward to the next one!

Cheers, HF
 
On the subject of Clark, he does seem extremely personable, just like most of the guys in Josh's expanded family, however, I agree with HF, we don't know that much about him yet. We'll have to get to know him better before we can judge him. Is he Tyler material? Kind of seems like he could be, but will Tyler even be interested. Up to now, he hasn't even looked at another guy sexually. He does mention Lonnie's dick occasionally, but not to the extent he could fall in love with him. Most of its mention is just teasing Josh in conversation. Most of the senior management team was impressed with Clark. All Blake could say about him was 'WOW'. I loved that.

So Josh got to get hold of Hector once again. He and Tuck get to have a little private time before the BIG DAY. I can only imagine what the night before the wedding might be like. I always enjoy them getting together and reminiscing about their time together in the frat house. There were some crazy times there. Seems like ages ago. So much has changed since then. So many new people have come on the scene and lives have changed. You are creating quite a history here, FT. We have memories now. Good grief.

Anxious to see what happens next as all my bent bros are. As always, can't get enough of this great saga. Glad to know you are back in production mode and cranking out the chapters again. Makes my week when I can lose myself in Josh's world. Hang in there, buddy. BC
 
So... Clark is "WOW", according to Blake. :love: Thad and Dennis, another WOW :=D: And Josh and Tuck (and Hector) it's gonna be another WOW, since Tuck has backed up balls :biggrin:

Both HF and BC wonder if Clark could be Tyler's material: it could be, but we know so little about him. The trip to the Grand Victorian may tell if something is bound to happen. Can't wait for the trip and the wedding (and the bachelor party, because I kinda feel something interesting may be coming) :corn:

As always, great work (y) so keep it coming FT, keep it cumming (y)
 
I agree with HF, BC and Thanatos about this chapter. We don't know much about Clark.....YET!!! Hopefully we get to know Clark a little better over the upcoming Florida trip. As for Tyler and Clark becoming a couple I think it's too early but maybe they share an affection for Victorian era houses that they can build a relationship over.

I am excited for the next installment.

Brian
 
As always, some great comments and good theories. You guys are starting to get ahead of me more than you know. I guess you've been at this long enough you tend to figure out where I might be going. It's getting harder to surprise you anymore. But, we'll have to wait and see if any of your theories come true. So Clark seems rather normal so far. There is more discussion with him and about him in this next chapter I leave you with tonight. Josh has make Tuck a happy camper and the plans for the wedding are set, well mostly anyway. Summer work at the dorm is proceeding with more help on the way. Then there is the Kenny situation. What hasn't he told Clay yet? When will he tell him? More information coming in this next chapter, possibly.

I've had more time to write and plan and intend to keep up my regular schedule, although that may change, but I'm trying. I haven't had to consult much lately so that's a good thing. Will try to keep you entertained with our boys. I'll be back to you on Saturday night, if all goes well. In the meantime, please stay Healthy, Safe and above all, Happy. Huggs, FT.
 
Chapter 684 – A Happy Ending With Later, A Concerned Ending

I loved massaging the naked boy of my big brother. I loved Tuck more like a brother, but he did have a hot manly body which I did get quite the thrill sitting naked on, talking to him as I kneaded his muscles. It was a type of foreplay, I guess you could say, and it made me feel great. Tuck admitted it made him feel fantastic. It was some kind of intimacy we could share together without seeming like we were hooking up, more bro love than homosexual love, although there was definitely a little of that, no matter what Tuck called it to keep it from sounding that way. If he wanted to consider fucking my ass a ‘happy ending’, I was good with that, even though it was full on penile penetration of my ass, male intercourse with another male. Happy Ending sounded much better to a straight guy than what it really was. I was okay with that.

My bare ass was sitting just below his bare buns and I was working on his lower back. “Damn, this feels so fucking good, Josh. Like I said, our time together like this will not end because of my marriage. Millie even says I’m much happier every time I get together with you. Can you imagine that?” Tuck asked me, making me giggle.

“You haven’t told her why, have you?” I chided. “Promise me you won’t, please?” I asked. He chuckled.

“No, what we do together as brothers stays between just the two of us,” he replied. I scooted further down and kissed his bare ass buns. He spread his legs a little further apart. I knew what he wanted, but he wasn’t getting there just yet. He had to wait for my tongue to tease that asshole of his, as that was the prelude to full on fucking, and we weren’t there yet. “Damn, you really know how to make a dude feel great, Josh,” he commented at my kisses. I chuckled.

“The best, Tuck. Only the best,” I replied. “

“We really need to find Forest a girl to fall in love with or at least to date and have a good time. I worry about him being lonely all the time, not having anyone to hang or have fun with,” Tuck commented. Here he was, worried about Forest again, when I knew Forest was a very happy dude.

“How do you know he doesn’t have some one?” I asked, not sure Tuck would know if Forest was dating some girl.

“I just know. He’s gone a lot from his apartment, and I’m not sure where he goes, so maybe there is a girl in his life. Still, you’d think if there was, he’d be happy about it and want to tell all of us about his new found happiness,” Tuck replied.

“Maybe he’s not sure about her yet and doesn’t want to talk about her until he’s sure it’s a real thing. Actually, he seems pretty happy to me, all the times I’ve seen him, although I haven’t seen him in some time,” I replied. I finished his inner thighs, briefly brushing my fingers across the back of his scrotum giving him little thrills. “Hector doing okay down there?” I asked. He chuckled.

“Let’s just say he’s getting more interested and excited about a potential happy ending,” Tuck replied, making me chuckle. I worked further down, kneading his calves then hopped off the table to do his feet. Oh, did he moan and groan in pleasure at me doing his feet.

“I think I asked you this once before, but do you think he’s possibly gay?” Tuck asked, making me stop massaging his feet for a few seconds, stunned at what he just asked me.

“You asked, and I told you I had no idea, Tuck. I don’t know that much about his personal life. You spend tons more time with him than I do. You guys are like brothers,” I replied. Tuck grunted.

“If he is, he might think he’s in trouble with me if he was. He just doesn’t talk about his personal life at all,” Tuck replied.

“That’s probably because it’s personal. It’s his life, not anyone else’s business,” I replied.

“But, Josh, he should know I wouldn’t be upset with him if he was gay, because my best friend is gay. He knows how much I love you. He thinks we’re as intimate and close as we can be just short of having sex together. I think I even told him one time when we were talking about you, it wouldn’t bother me at all if that would make you happy, as I loved you that much,” Tuck replied. I tickled his feet when he said that, making him jump.

“You need to be careful saying things like that, Tuck,” I warned. Tuck sighed.

“It’s Forest, Josh. I wanted him to feel like I can tell him anything and he can tell me anything. God knows, I’ve hugged the boy enough to let him know I deeply care about him also. I just wish he’d open up to me. If you guys get to spend the night together, maybe he’ll open up to you. Just let him know, should he happen to be gay, it won’t bother me one little bit. I’ll still love him as much as I do now,” Tuck assured me.

“I’ll be sure to let him know right after I fuck him,” I teased,” Tuck laughed.

“OOOO, I’m not liking that picture. You don’t have to get carried away,” Tuck replied, as I hopped back up on top of him, then rolled him over underneath me, ending up with me sitting on his junk, my balls on his, our flaccid dicks lying beside one another as I leaned in and kneaded his pecs and shoulders from his front side. I leaned in quickly and kissed him gently on the lips. “Oh, if only you were a girl,” he said, looking me in the eyes.

“When did me not being a girl stop you from fucking me and enjoying it?” I teased. He said I was horrible.

“I just love you so much, but I do love you more as a guy, because we can talk about guy stuff and still have an intimate relationship. If you were a girl, there’d be no Millie, as you’d be my mate for life, but then there’d be no male Josh, my best friend and confidant, and I do love my Josh,” he replied.

“That’s fucked up, but I love it,” I told him, then kissed him gently again. He pulled me to him and hugged me tightly. I could feel my cock start to enlarge. I could definitely feel Hector take notice also. He let me go, so I could finish off his front side then get down to business. I kneaded his inner thighs, playing with his big balls in the process, moving Hector, now standing tall, around more as teasing then giving room to work. I even massaged his taint, then down his legs and calves again. I quickly rolled him over again, spread his ass cheeks apart, then drove my tongue into his asshole taking his breath away.

“OMG, that is just the craziest, nastiest, but the most unbelievably wonderful feeling you could ever do for a guy, Josh. Wow, what the straight guys don’t know they’re missing. Wow, is all I can say,” Tuck uttered, as I worked his hot virgin asshole with my tongue. Around and around his pink rosebud I went, then down on his hairy taint, even licking the back of his balls. When I knew he couldn’t take much more, I turned him back over again. He grabbed my hard cock and jacked it beside Hector, pressing the flesh of our penises together as if they were one. I smiled at him, then leaned in again and kissed him, this time more passionately. He seemed to really like it, pulling me tightly against him. “Damn, if you aren’t something else,” he said when we finally came up for air.

“You like that, huh?” I teased.

“Fuck yes, I like that. I fucking love it,” Tuck replied, as I rubbed my ass all over Hector at full mast, pressing him against Tuck and between my ass cheeks. “Oh, you are so bad. Hector wants to visit you in the worst way,” Tuck told me. I smiled, then continued to tease him relentlessly. I could feel the warmth of his precum on my taint. It felt kind of hot, Tuck’s precum oozing up against the back of my balls. Got me all excited. I backed further down then took that big piece of sausage in my mouth and sucked out his precum. I gently kissed Hector’s head, then ran my tongue around the edges and up over the glans, producing a larger precum flow, which I licked off every time it appeared. “Oh, you’re killing me, Josh. This right here is enough to stay in bed with you for eternity,” he uttered. I looked up over his rock-hard cock and saw his eyes closed, just lost in what I was doing to excite his manhood to want to breed. There were times he shook, telling me this was over the top. After what seemed like endless sexual torture to him, I slobbered up his cock well enough to mount it. I straddled his pelvis, then gently guided that throbbing large piece of man meat to my asshole. I teased my own asshole with his large cock, then gently worked it inside my hole. He sighed when the head of his penis entered my body. I took my time easing myself down on that large monolith of a cock.

‘Good grief, Tuck, I swear Hector keeps growing. Damn if you aren’t thick and long. Nothing like trying to suck a fence post up my ass,” I teased.

“You love it. You know you do,” he sighed, somewhat lost in the whole experience himself.
 
Chapter 684 - B
“That’s the problem. I do love it. You might be hard to take at first, but damn, after that, it’s pure bliss. I love Hector inside me. He couldn’t be better,” I moaned. Gradually, I took all of Hector, then sighed a big sigh of relief, as the pain subsided and turned into bliss. “Damn, you feel so fantastic in my ass, Tuck. Unbelievable,” I told him, my head reared back and my eyes closed, lost in the feeling of our two bodies being finally united again. I raised myself up a little to give Tuck some room to thrust. We started out slow, then gradually built up the momentum. Precum was running out my piss slit, down my throbbing shaft, over my balls and landing on Tucks treasure trail. I was lost in all of this, somewhere in outer space as fantastic as his cock felt in my ass. Tuck felt the need to breed me, and that he did. He pulled me down to him and plunged Hector deep inside me. I don’t know how I took it all, but I did and loved every millimeter of his big dick. I was slinging precum to and fro with his wild thrusts. It was unbelievable. To my surprise, he started kissing me passionately as his big cock slammed into my ass. We were sweating like we’d just played a whole game of basketball, sweat rolling out of my pits and off my brow. Tuck was slick and shiny from our sweat, his wet pit scent turning me on like crazy. The look in his eyes was pure passion. I really felt loved at the moment. Then he really went after my ass until I couldn’t take it anymore and shot my load over Tuck’s head for the first couple of rounds, with the rest landing on his chest and abs. Tuck said he couldn’t take it either. I felt Hector swell up something fierce then blow his load inside me, filling up my guts with his seed. It felt fantastic. Dripping with sweat, I fell limp on top of him. His long arms surrounding my body and holding me tight.

“Wow, Josh, that was the best ever. It’s a good thing we don’t get to do this that often, or I might start thinking twice about marrying Millie,” he chided. I told him he was full of shit too. “Okay, maybe that was a little much, but it’s damn hot having this kind of intimacy with you. I wouldn’t even think about doing anything like this with another dude, but I just love the intimacy we have between us. I will love you forever,” Tuck told me, getting rather emotional. I kissed him tenderly on the lips.

“I love you too, big brother. I’ll never feel guilty showing you how much I love you, either. I can never talk about it with anyone, and that’s okay. I like it better that way, just between you and me. That’s our little secret,” I told him, then kissed him again.

Tuck and I held each other for what seemed like a long time, until I felt Hector retreat from my ass and with it, some of Tuck’s seed. My ass felt empty when Hector left, having done his amazing job of breeding and now wanting to rest. Eventually, I got down from on top of Tuck and put my feet on the floor, then helped him off the table to join me. “Gees, looks like we have a little bit of a mess to clean up,” Tuck said, as we saw a pool of his jizz on the massage table.

“Looks like we left some of your DNA there for sure,” I chided.

“What are you talking about? Look at yours all over the floor and me,” Tuck said, pointing out the mess on the floor where my first shots landed that cleared his head. We both chuckled at the residual mess brought on by the intense firing of male semen created by fucking around. It wasn’t a pretty sight, but damn, did it feel great when it happened. I knelt down on the floor and wiped up some of the mess, but Hector was still dripping while I tried to wipe up the floor. I grabbed Tuck’s cock and squeezed the rest of his cum from his piss slit and cleaned up that long hanging cock. I did the same to mine also to keep from making further messes. We decided to dispose of the cleanup material in the large locker room waste container, and not leave it in the therapy room. With that, we grabbed our towels and headed to the showers, where we both sensuously washed one another once again, boning me up in the process. Tuck seemed to have Hector under control at the time. Made sense, that the straight dick did it’s job and retired when the gay dick always got excited just at the sight of the straight dick. That had to be the reason. I did get another kiss at the end, which made me feel good.

We dressed and walked out to the parking lot together. “Guess I better go home and tell my bride to be, that you and I discussed everything in detail and after an exhausting workout, we determined everything is great,” Tuck told me, making me chuckle. I gave him one last hug in the parking lot, telling him I loved him and would see him a week from Thursday to get fitted for the Tux. I told him not to lust after me when getting fitted as Taylor and Forest would be there. Tuck rolled his eyes, saying they ought to try what we did, as they might like it and it would sure be better than what they had now. I got a kick out of that. If he only knew that Will was keeping Forest happy. But that was not for me to say.

It was almost beer time when I got back to the bar. I had a text from Coby that he was on his way and excited to be with us tonight. I got another text a little later from Auggie, saying he was heading our way on Friday and couldn’t wait to be with us finally. I told him to have a safe trip. He said he hoped we were all horny up here, as his ass needed a lot of attention from a lot of guys. I could only imagine what life would be like with him here. I knew our swimming record next year would be tremendous with him on the team, but socially, I wasn’t so sure. He’d probably fit in well with our two football lovers I would imagine as crazy as they were. At any rate, there were plenty of guys to keep that ass of his happy for sure.

Kyle came in first, getting off work and heading to the CNB for a beer and meet Blake when he got back from the dorm with the rest of the guys. Jake, Blake and Will hadn’t returned just yet. Kyle gave me a hug when he saw me. I told him he and I were the first ones here, but the rest should be showing up soon.

“So how is Clay really, Josh? Is he okay emotionally?” Kyle asked.

“He says he’s fine and anxious to put Kenny away. As far as I can tell, he seems to be telling the truth there. I haven’t heard anything change in his tone or manner of speech to suggest otherwise. In fact, I was more inclined to give Kenny more of a benefit of the doubt than he was, which I’m grateful Clay stuck to his program. I don’t know, there just seemed to be something in Kenny’s voice that said he didn’t like doing what he had to do, and he wanted away from it in the worst way. It seemed like he was willing to take a few risks to separate himself from the guys he didn’t want to work with anymore. Maybe that’s all bullshit, I don’t know, but he just seemed like someone that needed to be helped,” I told Kyle.

“Up until you told me he confessed he did me wrong and wished there’d been a better outcome of screw-over he gave me, I would agree he needed to fry. But then, I got to thinking about all the good times and tender moments we had together where I really felt true love for him, much like I have for Blake now. When you hate someone, you only concentrate on the bad times and forget the good times. I guess it’s not a good idea to hate anyone, but it was kind of hard not to after him nearly destroying my life, not to mention my heart. I just couldn’t believe that someone I loved and trusted like I did him, could do what he did to me. I just couldn’t comprehend that. Now, looking back, we had some very tender loving times together, where I felt true love. At least he admitted to Clay, not naming me, but we all now he was talking about me, that he did deeply care for me, but was coerced into doing me dirty. Hearing that confession he gave Clay, relieved the hate I had for him. I don’t think I could ever trust him again, and I know any feelings of love I had for him will be gone forever. Still, it’s nice not to resent all that we had between us. I feel better about that now,” Kyle confessed, which got him another hug from me.

“Do you think he’s serious about getting out of what he’s doing?” I asked.

“Not sure, Josh. Sometimes in a business like that, you can’t get out. Knowing what he knows, unless he goes into the witness protection program, that might not be an option for him. I just pray he doesn’t put Clay in any danger in the process whatever he does,” Kyle replied.

“He swore to Clay, he would never let him anywhere near any danger, but then you never know,” I replied.

“You don’t know. That might not be a choice he can make. I have a feeling if the people he works for have any inclination at all that he’s thinking of going legit, he’s in serious trouble. They figured out Harold was an informant, and it looks to me like they made an example out of him for anyone else that might want to cross them. God forbid that happening to Kenny,” Kyle stated. He had a point.

“This may be getting a little too dangerous, the more I think about it. If the goons from out of town are running the show now, they might be watching Kenny and where he goes. So far, he’s delivered their merchandise, collected their money and made the money drops to Hastings and Dickerson to take to Chicago to be laundered. Nothing in their current operations have been disturbed. If he so much as changes anything, that could all change too,” I commented.

“Kenny could be in deep shit. If he doesn’t get out, he could be in deep shit also. He’s screwed either way,” Kyle replied. I had to agree.
 
Chapter 684 - C
“Then again, if Clay gets cold feet and doesn’t want to have anything to do with Kenny anymore, that could destroy him and cause him to do something rash and reckless. We should have stayed the hell out of all of this and let the authorities take care of it. Clay wanted the story exclusively, but I’m not sure he completely evaluated the risks in doing what he’s doing. We should have just stayed as far away from any of this as we could. I know Cal thinks this is a big help, but he’s trained for this type of thing, not Clay,” I remarked. Kyle agreed, saying he didn’t think he could’ve done it, and didn’t want any part of it. “Seems like Clay and Kenny are kind of trapped in all of this until it plays out one way or another. I just hope we can all survive the outcome,” I added.

“Speaking of surviving the outcome, what about Jules? Is he really trying to fuck his way inside the C&S Bank organization?” Kyle asked. I chuckled.

“Who knows? I think he’s trying to impress all of us as to what he can do for us. At least he’s trying to impress Will that he’s an important entity in solving this case and he’s not afraid to act like a hero to doing it. He comes off half-cocked at times. In some ways I feel sorry for him, but in other ways, at least listening to Will, he’s just an irritant. He loves to try to impress and that’s a fact. I just hope the FBI is keeping close ties on him and have him under protective surveillance continually,” I replied.

“He certainly gets under Will’s skin, that’s for sure,” Kyle commented. I chuckled.

“You noticed that have you?” I had to ask. Kyle smiled, shaking his head.

“I kind of have the feeling Will has the same feelings for Jules, I once had for Kenny, only I think mine were more legit,” Kyle replied. We both about cracked up. I had to get us a beer if we were going there. Eric was only two happy to draw us a couple of beers.

“Will has no respect or regard or even tolerance for Jules anymore. He doesn’t want to talk to him or even be in the same room as him. I kind of think he might be overacting somewhat, but then I love him too much not to respect his wishes. He is a very fair and loving person, so we just let him roll and get it out of his system,” I explained.

“I get that. I made the mistake of asking him one time, when he was moving in the apartment at our place, if Jules would be over to spend time with him now that he was in Uni. Boy was that the wrong question to ask. He asked me if we could train Iggy to kill on site if Jules ever showed up at his apartment. Then he ranted for a good fifteen minutes on how narcissistic and arrogant the boy was, and how he was trying to brainwash you, Josh, into thinking he was a decent loving guy. Wow, did I get an earful. Didn’t take but a couple of seconds to figure out Will did not like the dude anymore for sure,” Kyle informed me. I told him that was for sure, although I didn’t quite see the intense disdain for the guy that Will had, but then I’d never slept with him or loved him at one time like Will had. “So they were pretty tight at one time?” Kyle asked. I told him they were an ‘item’ at one time and for some time. Kyle said you’d never think that now after all the disdain Will had for him these days. I just smiled and shook my head. “Is it fair to assume that Forest and Will are an ‘item’ now?” Kyle asked me. Again, I smiled.

“Not for public notice, but yes, the two very much care for one another. Forest is in the closet, obviously, and won’t attend any of our social events where all of us homosexuals get together for fear of being branded a homosexual and possibly destroying his career. They’re keeping their relationship under tight wraps, so to speak,” I explained, knowing full well that Kyle would respect Will’s and Forest’s privacy.

“Well, I see him around the apartment complex coming and going from Will’s apartment at all hours of the day and night, so I kind of suspected they had something going on. Forest is hot and Will made a good choice there, especially after hearing his thoughts about Jules,” Kyle chuckled. “Forest doesn’t know me, but everyone knows Forest, so it’s kind of hard not to recognize him when we see him. I’ve never seen anything suggesting a relationship out of them, other than friendship, when they’re together, but it was kind of obvious to me seeing him coming and going at all hours of the day and night, they might be ‘seeing’ each other. Will is such a great guy, so I’m really happy for him. I’ll keep tight wraps on any gossip that might come out of anything and run interference for them, if needed, that is,” Kyle replied. I patted him on the back.

“With Cal moving in, things might get a little exciting over there at your place,” I commented, getting a puzzled look from Kyle. “Don’t say anything, but Cal has a crush on Will. I continually counsel him on not fucking up Will’s relationship with Forest,” I told Kyle confidentially.

“No shit. Well, that is interesting. Does Forest know about Cal?” Kyle asked. I told him not yet, but Will and Cal had been bantering back and forth as if Will was pissed at Cal, although that just made Cal lust for him even more. I explained I was a little concerned about them being that close together. “Damn, this could get interesting. Guess I should have found a different complex to house Cal instead of two doors down from Will. I just thought it’d be nice to have all of us together close by and in one spot. I didn’t know there was any kind of friction going on between any of the guys,” Kyle explained. I smiled.

“No friction, just some childish crush stuff that can develop into whatever, you know. Will thinks Cal is hot, and he is. Cal’s not sure if he’s even gay or not, but he’d love to have sex with Will to help him find out. Will would love to have sex with Cal, but feels guilty about Forest, but Forest can’t participate in the social part of our business and be at his side, where Cal can. It’s a fucked up, school girl type, mess. So, at any rate, they’re being civil to one another, even though they’d both love to ravage each other sexually. Sunday night, Will is taking Forest with him, along with some wine, to Cal’s to welcome him to the neighborhood, so to speak, so they can all be ‘friends’,” I said in air quotes. Kyle shook his head in amazement.

“So in case I hear fireworks on Sunday night, I’ll have an idea what’s happening. Glad you briefed me,” Kyle replied. I shook my head. “Do you think that Will and Cal have that much in common? I mean, Forest is such a level headed guy, very calm and great at his job. Cal is kind of a free spirit, willing to take risks and a little crazy also. That doesn’t seem to be the type that Will would be attracted to,” Kyle remarked.

“It’s the bad-boy thing, Kyle. Will has always played it safe, and I love him with all my heart, but he’s mesmerized by Cal for his bad-boy tendencies, fascinated by him for some reason because he can do crazy things that Will would never do, but wished he could. That make any sense?” I asked. Kyle shook his head smiling.

“Good grief, this is like high school again. Cal wouldn’t be the type to marry, but you could sure have a hell of a lot of fun with him on the side,” Kyle explained. “Maybe Blake and I should invite Cal over some evening when Dale and Cam are out flying. Might be kind of interesting,” Kyle chuckled. I laughed, but told him there might be some truth to that. I stopped short of telling Kyle that Jake and I had already ridden that pony and put him away wet. I didn’t need to kiss and tell.

We just finished that conversation when Blake, Jake and Will showed up. Eric got us refills for Kyle and me and brought the others some beer. “So, how’d it go this afternoon?” I asked.

“Much better, because we had more help. Honestly, it’s going to be nip and tuck getting all this done by our August cutoff. We need to hire as many guys as we can to keep this going,” Jake informed us.

“I think your Marketing professor said he had some classmates of yours that would be starting for us on Monday. I guess they went home after finals and for the weekend then are coming back to start work on Monday,” Will informed me. Jake said that was true.

“I’m going to help Thad set up the payroll for all the new guys and get them in our temporary help system,” Blake explained. I told him I was sure Thad would be happy to help and knew all about our payroll system. Blake said he and Thad already discussed it and what they’d need to sign everyone up.

“So, how did our new Adonis do today for his first day?” I asked. They all kind of said ‘great’ at the same time.

“I was thinking that a guy as gorgeous and hung as he seems to be might be an elitest, thinking he as something else, or the opposite, being completely down to earth. He seems completely down to earth having no clue that most of us would spring a boner if he even talked to us. He’s seems to be a great guy, willing to do anything to help, and work with anyone that needs help. He worked his ass off this afternoon. Don’t know if he’s just trying to make a good impression or if he’s really just a normal guy. The feeling I get is that he’s just a normal type of guy like most of us in our organization. I don’t see anything pretentious about him at all,” Jake commented. I was impressed.

“I get the same impression. He worked as hard, if not harder than all of the rest of us this afternoon, willing to do whatever to get the job done. He doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. He’s very hands on it seems. Logan wasn’t telling him to do anything other than watch and observe, but he jumped right in there and helped. Logan did also, which was impressive,” Will commented.
 
Chapter 684 - D

“Well okay then. He’s off to a good start and Logan, as different as he is at times, has earned some stripes also. Good to know. It’ll be interesting to hear what they have to say if they stop by for beer with us,” I commented, right as the two of them walked through the door. I motioned for them to join us as they looked for us. The after-work crowd was cranking up, but we had our table and enough chairs.

“Greetings, gents. Got another day closer to opening after today,” Logan commented as he and Clark joined us.

“I heard some great things about both of you this afternoon,” I remarked, to their surprise and pleasure. “Seems as if you don’t just talk about what needs to be done, but you roll up your sleeves and jump right in with the rest of them.” Logan and Clark smiled.

“Part of the team, Josh. We want to be as much a part of your team as we can. Our success is your success so we all have to work together to achieve it. Once you turn this over to us, then it’s all on our backs to prove our worth, but until that time, we have to do whatever is necessary to get to that point. We can help with the manual labor for a few days, then we need to hire some staff, but once that’s done, we can get back to helping out again. I thought this was a good way for Clark to get to know some of your team also. I think he was impressed,” Logan commented. I smiled.

“Well, I think our guys were impressed with the work you all accomplished this afternoon and impressed with your willingness to jump right in and help out. It wasn’t really your responsibility to help in that area, as we all know you have a lot on your plate to accomplish also, but we’re grateful you could and you’re always welcome to be part of our team whenever you can find the time, even after we hand you the property. I guess we’ll still have to have some update meetings after that, according to the contract that we signed with you all,” I replied.

“Most assuredly. I told Clark you guys were great guys to hang with. Not only were you sharp businessmen, but you were just great guys also. I told him about some of the stories I’ve heard about you helping guys out and giving them an opportunity of a lifetime. We got to meet Dylan today who was one of them. He couldn’t love you enough, Josh, you and all the rest of the troops. Several of the guys had great things to say about SE while we were working. I didn’t know a fraction of the things they talked about so Clark and I were impressed all at the same time,” Logan replied. I smiled.

“Be careful that the guys don’t embellish too much now. We’re not saints by any stretch of the imagination. But, we do like to have fun and build things. And above all, we support one another however we can,” I explained.

“That was evident to see today, Josh. Jake told us some of the stories of how you all got to be where you are today. It’s amazing. I’m anxious to see the original CNB in the City sometime to see where it all started,” Clark commented.

“Be careful talking to Jake, as he knows where all the bodies are buried,” I chided, making Clark chuckle as did Jake.

“I think we all know where one body is going to be buried this weekend thank goodness,” Will remarked, getting strange looks, requesting him to explain himself. “Stoney’s ashes. The dude, or I guess I should say, our benefactor, has been haunting the ranch and needs to be interned. That’s going to happen on Saturday finally. When I was managing the ranch, I swear he had it out for me and haunted the place. I’m still not comfortable going into the house with his ashes on the mantle. Strange things happen while I’m there. It’s creepy, guys. I’m telling you, it’s just creepy,” Will said rather emphatically. There were some chuckles. I shook my head.

“He never bothered me when I was there with you, Will. I think you just imagined all that stuff,” I chided. Will gave me a look like I was crazy.

“He didn’t bother you because he loved you so much, Josh. I came after he was gone from the place and had to run it for you. Then there’s the fact that I love you and Jake also. I think he resented me for that,” Will explained. I shook my head.

“Stoney would be proud of you, Will. He helped us find the clue to the combination of the safe. You have to admit there was some ghostly guidance in that discovery,” I chided, making Will shiver.

“Okay, I guess you’re right about that. I don’t think we would have ever found it had that not happened, but we got through it.

“Not only that, but he told me to hire those that I could trust and care about, and to bring them along and help make our fortune their fortune too. You were one of the first ones we felt that way about. I’d say Stoney was looking out for you even though he only met you one time. He actually directed me to you, if I remember correctly. Must have seen something in you that he liked for me to reach out to you,” I replied.

“I guess you’re right. We do owe where we are today to him for sure. It’s just he liked dicking with me when I had to go into the house. I swear that urn changed positions on the mantle every time I went into that house for something you needed. I always hated to go in there, and you always made fun of me for it,” Will replied.

“Hey, it’ll all work out, and he can finally rest where he directed us to put him on Saturday,” I replied. Will said he was relieved to hear that and anxious to get it done.

“So how are we fixed for additional labor in the next two days?” I asked.

“We had most of our guys this afternoon. You said that Coby would be here tonight sometime, I guess anytime. So, he starts tomorrow. I think you said that Colt would be here this weekend sometime. Your Aussie friend Auggie is supposed to be here this weekend sometime, I guess. Some of the guys are going home just for the weekend to get more summer clothes and say hi to their families then back here on Monday. We might be a little short on help for Saturday night, but Logan and Clark have volunteered to help tend bar for us, so that should be a big help. We’ll have less business anyway because most of the student population in Uni being gone. It’ll be interesting to see how busy we are without the student population here for the summer,” Will reported. I patted him on the back, telling him we’d make it work.

We continued to talk through dinner. Everyone seemed to have a good time. Logan and Clark seemed like they felt they were welcomed to be with us and participated in the conversations we all had. Clark asked some interesting questions about the business. He said he was truly amazed at the camaraderie between all of our group, sensing we were all very close. We assured him we all were. He thought that was great that so many guys could be such great friends. I got a sense he appreciated good friends. With Logan, I got a sense he appreciated his privacy, and didn’t have much time for friendship, but he fit in well when he did have time.

After dinner, Logan and Clark excused themselves to go back to their apartment and dig into some of their corporate stuff they needed to do. Logan was going to show him part of their systems they used, plus Logan said he wanted to start putting together some preliminary questions and layouts of the Key West properties so they were prepared for the trip on Monday. Before leaving, Logan formally introduced Clark to Kyle, saying he was essentially their landlord for Logan’s apartment. Kyle told him if he ever needed anything to not hesitate at all to call on him as his company owned the apartment complex. He said he liked to drive the manager crazy at times with his special requests. Logan and Clark got a kick out of that.

“I heard you were rescued by Josh and crew also,” Logan said, somewhat surprising Kyle. “Blake told us how that all came down. We also heard the story about one of the town’s policeman you rescued one night trying to protect you, Kyle,” Logan added.

“Blake, you sure had a lot to tell these newbies,” Kyle commented, then gave Blake a hug. “Yep, it’s all true if Blake told you the story. You’ll get to meet Lucky Saturday night. He’s still in the closet when it comes to his other members of the police force and the other police friends of Josh’s, but he’s a great guy. That night changed his life also, I’m proud to say. He’s a great guy. I can’t love Josh enough for what he and Jake and the senior management team did for me that saved my financial ass for sure. I’m in a much better place today because of their caring and kindness. I couldn’t be with better friends than I am now and that goes for Blake also. He’s here in my life because of them also. Nothing but great things have happened to me since I met Josh, Jake and the rest of this great team, I can assure you,” Kyle told them all. Clark said he was more impressed by every moment he was around us, and thought he’d made a great decision coming here for sure. Kyle told him there was no better place he could be but here. Clark seemed impressed.
