Chapter 725 - D
“Guys, this has been a labor of love from all of us to help find our founder’s lost son. We have conducted DNA testing with anyone that could possibly be Joseph to no avail. We have exhausted all possible leads at this point. I can tell you from my personal experience of living with all of you and you showing me the love that I never had as a family growing up, that wherever Joseph is, I can tell you he feels our love,” Edgar said, patting his heart. “He lives on in all our hearts. I just know in my heart he feels all our love and is very happy now in life. I’m sure he couldn’t be happier. So with that, we’re closing the case, but we’ll always have him to think about and in our prayers,” Edgar said. Some of the guys chanted, ‘we love you Joseph, wherever you are.’ I saw tears running from Edgars eyes. He said, ‘I know’. Many of the guys gave him a hug, telling him at least we got to adopt him as our brother even if we couldn’t find Joseph. I know that made Edgar feel wonderful. I thought about his decision to stay silent on who he really was, and why. He wanted to be one of the guys and nothing special, not to be treated any other way. As Jake, Will, Blake, Cal, I, and the senior staff knew he was Joseph, and I guess that’s all that mattered. He was such a sweetheart.
“I can’t believe he didn’t say he was who he was,” Blake said, somewhat surprised. I explained to the guys in our small group that he didn’t want to be treated any differently than any one of us as he was so grateful and thankful to be part of our family. He wanted to remain just one of us with no special recognition. Blake said how wonderful that was and what a loving guy Edgar was.
“You know, I should have recognized how close he felt to Stoney as he carried Stoney’s ashes from the house to where we interned him on top of the hill. He said he felt love in the house even, when Will wanted to run from the house because of Stoney’s ghost,” I reminded them.
“Hey, you never had to deal with that ghost the way I did,” Will retorted. I had to laugh at that.
“Well, Stoney’s ghost used you to help find the combination so he must have liked you somewhat,” I replied, with a wink. Will got embarrassed.
“I think he used you, actually. I was just in the way,” Will replied.
“Well, at any rate Edgar felt a connection there, one that will be very special to him forever since he buried his father’s ashes. God Bless him anyway,” I commented. They all thought Edgar’s connection to his father was blessed, even if it only involved Edgar’s internment of Stoney’s ashes.
Dylan and Garth stopped by again, urging Rowan to come play water volleyball with them. Rowan said he wouldn’t mind jumping in the pool. I told him to go have fun. He looked at Garth and Dylan naked, asking them if he had to get naked. Dylan told him he didn’t know any other way. Rowan stood up and dropped his shorts, exposing his junk to all of us, as if it was no big deal. “Damn, boy, there’s nothing wrong with you. You look good enough to suck for sure,” Dylan teased, but Rowan was a little modest and somewhat embarrassed. We all told him he fit right in with the rest of us, which seemed to make him feel more comfortable. “Damn if your balls aren’t on the small side, but hey, look at it this way, your dick is more than adequate for everything,” Dylan told him patting him on his bare back. Off he went with Garth and Dylan jumping in the pool right behind them as Dylan said he found the last guy to play. We watched them all play. Rowan’s height was a plus for his team as he did a great job. Dylan couldn’t be more complimentary to him. Terry and Jake stripped off and jumped back in the pool also. I decided to go for a dip myself, with Will right behind me. Will and I went down the water slide a couple of times, then ended up sitting waist deep in the grotto.
“This feels good on a hot day like today. How was the water in the cove you went skinny dipping in?” Will asked me. I chuckled.
“Well, it was a little on the cool side, but you were only in it for a short time and as hot as Digger and Joey were, it didn’t make much difference to me,” I chided. Will shook his head, then reached over and gave my cock a little squeeze. “Hey there, someone horny or what?” I asked, as I reached over and gave his growing member a couple of strokes.
“No, just missed you, that’s all. Now that I’m here with you most of the time, it feels weird when you go away. Now, you’re leaving me again this week, and won’t even tell me where you are going,” Will complained.
“Just so you know, I’m taking Parker to Key West so he can disappear down there with Duncan who I parked down there also. Duncan is doing well and loves it there. I can’t have Parker here as he’s right in the middle of the battle that’s soon to come, and this would be the first place they’d look for him. Will, I’m counting on you to keep this a secret. Jake knows, but no one else, not even Cal. I really don’t want him to know. I hope I can trust you not to give up this information in some kind of pillow talk,” I explained.
“Really, Josh? I mean, I thought you trusted me more than that,” Will complained.
“I trust you which is why I told you, but it’s important that Cal not know unless it’s necessary I need to tell him. I just don’t want you, in the heat of passion, blurting it out as your cock gives up your seed,” I replied. Will shook his head.
“I know it was a mistake to fuck the dude, but at the time, I just needed fucked in the worst way. I don’t think I’ll ever do it again, even though he was damn good in bed,” Will replied, thinking about it in his mind as he said what he did. I looked Will in the eyes and kissed him.
“I’ll never tell you who you can have sex with and who you can’t, Will. I love you too much for that. You’ve got good sense for the most part. Hell, even Jules was probably a hot fuck until he got weird,” I explained.
“Fuck Jules, Josh. It almost makes me sick just to hear his name. Jules was just insanely jealous of me having sex with you,” Will replied.
“What, he resented the fact he couldn’t have you all to himself or what?” I asked, curiously. Will scoffed at that.
“No, Jules was jealous you and I were lovers, and he couldn’t have you. I was just his conduit to get to you, that’s all,” Will replied. I chuckled, telling him I didn’t believe that. “It’s true, Josh. He wanted you and Jake in the worst way. I was his ticket to get him to you guys. If I was no longer involved with him, he lost his hope of an intimate relationship with you and Jake, not that he really knew what real intimacy is. He wanted bragging rights, status that he was one of the few guys that the two of you shared intimacy with, to have him and I be on the same level. Didn’t work out for him, so he’s prostituting himself now to get your intimate attention. I’m almost sure of it,” Will replied. I shook my head.
“Well, I have to admire the boy for what he’s doing for all of us, but that does not land him in my bed, just so you know,” I replied.
“Thank you. And please don’t ever change your mind, even though we’ve now shared Cal, which I may live to regret,” Will replied. I had to chuckle.
“Cal is a decent guy when he’s not trying too hard to get your attention. He’s lonely and horny and because of his undercover work, found out that he likes boys just as much, if not better than women. He’s okay and he’s very professional, not that Jules wasn’t, but Cal is more level headed and genuinely caring than Jules. I think he is anyway,” I replied.
“Oh, I believe that. Like I said, I attacked him. He was hesitant at the beginning, but I didn’t give him much of a choice, pulling his shorts off and swallowing his cock like I did,” Will reminded me, making me smile. I told him I would have given anything to see the look on his face. Will said he was too busy swallowing Cal’s cock to notice. I had to laugh.
“Well, we’ll see if it happens again. He may have fallen in love which is not going to go over well with Forest,” I reminded him. Will sighed.
“Cal asked me about that. I told him this may just be a once and done thing, something we just had to get behind us so we could be comfortable with one another. He reluctantly said he agreed, it just might be, although he thought it was kind of special. I don’t want to lead him on, but on the other hand, if Forest can’t share my social life with me and Cal can, maybe it is time to move on,” Will replied.
“You’ve honestly thought about that?” I asked him. Will sighed again, saying I could’nt begin to imagine the thoughts that went through his mind since that happened. Again, I chuckled, stroking his now erect penis as he stroked mine.
