The Coming of Josh

[funtimes]

Chapter 786 – Lucky’s First Day Home and Swain Comes to Lunch

We finally got Lucky presentable enough to let him leave the hospital. Now we were just waiting for the doctor to give him parting instructions and finally release him. Cooper came in to check on him giving me a nice hug as he did. “Wo, wait there. Why does Josh get a hug and you’ve never given me a hug?” Lucky asked disappointedly. Cooper chuckled.

“Josh is a friend and you are a patient. Don’t worry, once you’ve been released, I can hug you goodbye,” Cooper told him as he grabbed Lucky’s arm and started moving it around like he’d instructed Rowen to do. “Remember to do this for him, Rowen, several times a day. And you, Lucky, can practice this on your own without Rowen’s help. If you want to get back to work, you need to work this arm, get more exercise and eat properly also. Don’t drink too much beer because you’re still on meds and alcohol will reduce the medication’s effectiveness so you don’t want that to happen as it will just prolong you getting back to work. Now, do you have any questions?” Cooper asked Lucky.

“Yes, an important one. How soon will you be over to check me out at my house?” Lucky asked him. Cooper chuckled.

“I’ll see you in a couple of days. I’ll give you a call first to make sure you’re available as I know you’re such a social animal and in high demand,” Cooper replied.

“You know it would just be easier if you moved in with me and be there for me in your off hours. The rent is damned cheap and I’m sure we could have a lot of fun together. That way Rowen wouldn’t have to suffer through taking care of me,” Lucky commented, disappointing Rowen.

“Cooper has to work during the day, Lucky. Who’s going to take care of you then? Think about it,” Rowen snapped back.

“Thank you for the offer, Lucky. That’s sweet of you, but I have a new place of my own right now, and I’m enjoying the heck out of it. Josh and his friends got me all set up, and I just love the place. You and Rowen will have a great time together. I’m sure he’ll take great care of you, won’t you, Rowen?” Cooper teased. Rowen told him ‘the best’. “I’ll come back in a bit right after you get discharged so I can hug you goodbye. I’m actually going to miss you, but I know you’ll get better faster once you get home,” Cooper assured him.

“I swear, you’re the only thing I’m going to miss at this hospital, that’s for sure,” Lucky told him. Cooper told him he was sweet, then headed out. “Now that is definitely boyfriend material if there ever was one,” Lucky told Rowen and I once Cooper left. Rowen rolled his eyes. I reminded Lucky he didn’t know Cooper all that well and maybe he wouldn’t care for a lot of things that Lucky liked, so who knew.

“For one thing, we have to get your house cleaned up before you have any company over. That house of yours is a mess, Lucky,” Rowen told him. Lucky smiled embarrassingly.

“Hey, I had a lot going on right before I got shot. I didn’t exactly have time for house cleaning with everything going on at the time. I certainly wasn’t expecting guests before returning home. Sorry you had to see it that way, but I’ll get better and clean it up once I get to feeling better,” Lucky replied.

“I’ll clean it up for you as no one that comes to visit you needs to see it like that. I already have a load of laundry in the washer for you. I did that when Josh and I stopped in to bring you some clothes,” Rowen told him. Lucky was amazingly surprised.

“Damn, partner, you might just come in handy after all. Gees, Josh, I got a maid and a nurse. Can’t beat that,” Lucky replied. I told him he was damn lucky to have Rowen commit to helping him out and he should appreciate that. Lucky said he really did appreciate Rowen. That had to make Rowen happy to hear. I kept thinking living with Lucky and listening to him talk would be like riding a rollercoaster as far as emotions were concerned, the ups and downs of listening to him. The things Rowen wanted to hear would be few and far between, yet the things that would discourage him would be plenty. I just hoped he could hold his own living with the man. I told myself I needed to spend considerable time there just to keep Rowen sane.

Eventually the doctor came in and went over all the medications Lucky was to take, and gave us written instructions as to when and how many of each of the three he prescribed. Rowen and I listened carefully as to what to do. He told Lucky the flesh part of the wounds were healed enough, he didn’t need to protect them taking a shower anymore. He did tell him not to do anything strenuous with his right arm, but he could, and should, use it as much as he could tolerate as that would help him get the use of it back faster. Rowen told the doctor about the exercises that Cooper had given us to do for Lucky. The doctor said that was excellent information and we should do it as much as Lucky could tolerate. Lucky asked him about driving. The doctor told him to give it a week or so before he operated a motor vehicle. Lucky promised he would. Lucky asked about going out for dinner. The doctor said he could do whatever he was comfortable doing, just not overdo it. Lucky agreed to behave to a certain extent. Lucky also asked him about going back to work. The doctor rolled his eyes, telling him he’d have to pass the physical competency test for the police department before they would let him go back to work. He did say they might let him do desk work or some type of light duty, but that was up to the department. The doctor told him to try to do some things, but just take it easy and enjoy his paid time off as he’d done his duty for the city of Uni in keeping it safe, and was very lucky to still be with us. Lucky acknowledged he was lucky, hence his name. The doctor chuckled and shook his hand, wishing him good luck, but that he wanted to see him in his office in one week. He said he’d text Lucky the date and time to be there. Lucky thanked him for his great help. The doctor told us someone would be up with a wheel chair to cart him off to the front door in a few minutes. Lucky was very relieved.

“I want to step next door to check on Kenny before we take your ass home,” Rowen told Lucky. Lucky said he should probably tell him goodbye also since he wouldn’t be here to visit with him anymore. The three of us stepped next door. We had to wait a couple of minutes as there was nurse there attending to his wounds. She finally finished up and told us we could go in. Kenny lit up when he saw us.

“Hey, it’s my fan club come to visit. You guys are so great. How’s it going with you, Lucky? I hear you’re going home today,” Kenny told Lucky as Rowen worked his way up beside Kenny’s bed.

“Yep, they finally let me out of this place. Hopefully, you’ll be able to get out of here soon also,” Lucky told him. Kenny said he wasn’t sure, but then didn’t know what all he was going to need to do once he got discharged as Clay worked all the time. He said they’d have to figure something out, maybe a ambulatory rehab center for a while if something else couldn’t be worked out. “Well, I have an extra bedroom. I guess we could stick you in there and have Rowen nurse us both back to health. As long as we have him to send for beer and food, we could have a good time,” Lucky chided.

“I could never ask you to do something like that, Lucky. You’ve been through enough,” Kenny told him. Lucky chuckled.

“I think we kind of went through all that together if I remember right. Seems to me you took extra bullets to keep me from getting killed. I guess that would be the least I could do to help you out. Besides, it’d be nice to have company anyway until you’re back on your feet. Since I can’t get our therapist to move in with me, we might as well make it a party, hang out and commiserate together,” Lucky chided. Kenny told him that was extremely nice of him to offer his help, but he wouldn’t hold him to it. Lucky said he’d be glad to have him as the more company the better if he was housebound anyway. Rowen said that would be no problem for him to take care of them both. In my mind, I thought that would solve Clay’s problem of having a place to fuck Alex anyway. Just then the wheelchair arrived to carry Lucky out of the place.

We quickly said our goodbyes, Rowen squeezing Kenny’s hand, telling Kenny to text him when he was free after Baxter’s meeting, and he’d come back and visit with him some this afternoon. Kenny told him he didn’t have to do that, but it was great that he did. Rowen said we were going to get him through this no matter what. Kenny thanked him profusely for his friendship.

I gathered up all Lucky’s ‘Get Well’ cards, his personal items and laundry, and put them in a bag the hospital provided. Lucky was bound and determined he needed to see Cooper before he left as he wanted his hug. Cooper was waiting at the door as the orderly wheeled Lucky out the door. Lucky had him stop, then stood up to hug Cooper who hugged him properly. “I could almost fall in love with you, I think,” Lucky chided, as he hugged Lucky. Cooper chuckled, telling Lucky he thought Lucky could do much better than him as he was such a character. “Josh, you need to convince this guy I’m a very loving individual and not just a character,” Lucky told me.

“Since when did you change?” I teased, getting a frown from Lucky. He shook his head, telling Cooper not to believe that. Cooper said he’d see him in a couple of days but to behave himself. He told Rowen to make him behave. He gave me another hug as I was leaving, making Lucky protest once again. We all laughed.

I took Lucky’s things and ran ahead to grab the Jeep and meet Rowen and Lucky at the front door. I pulled up and waited for them to get there. We helped Lucky out of the wheelchair and into the front seat of the Jeep. We got him strapped in and settled. Rowen hopped in the back seat. “Gees it feels great to be out of there,” Lucky said, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. “I guess I should be lucky to be able to see the sunshine once again and breathe the fresh air, considering what the alternative could have been,” he commented.

“Josh always says good people always land on their feet, Lucky. I guess we had to pick you up off the ground, but you are back on your feet once again and soon will be your old self,” Rowen told him.

“You are so right, Rowen. I guess I should be eternally grateful to be alive, actually. Now I have to put my life back together again. My boyfriend, who was once the love of my life, is gone so I have to start over there. My shoulder is still healing, but I’m on the mend. My house is a mess, but you said you’d help me out there, Rowen. I really am fortunate through all of that to have such wonderful caring friends and my life. I shouldn’t complain about anything really,” Lucky commented. Rowen and I both told him that was so true.

Lucky was happy to be home when I drove into his driveway. Rowen and I slid Lucky out of the Jeep slowly, then Rowen walked him to the front door. I opened it for them. Rowen sat Lucky down on the couch, parking him there until we figured out what to do next. “You need anything to drink or eat, or are you good for the time being?” Rowen asked him. Lucky said he was good, and it was just great to be home. A few minutes later there was a knock at the door. That surprised me. I carefully checked to see who was there before I opened the door. It was Conner and Neal to our surprise. I let them in, getting hugs from both. Rowen got handshakes and a ‘great to see you’ from both.

“Well, how’s the war hero doing?” Conner asked Lucky as they went over to shake his hand. Lucky seemed excited to see them.

“Hey, I’m alive and getting ornery,” Lucky replied. Neal told him he was ornery before he got shot. Lucky chuckled, thinking of how much he used to tease Neal. “Hey, Neal, you’ll be happy to know all the good parts I had are still there,” Lucky teased. “You may have to help me shower in the future though, as I’m a little unsteady just yet,” Lucky added. Neal shook his head.

“Oh, you are feeling better, I can tell,” Conner told him. “Glad to hear it though as we were really worried about you. Luckily it was a 9mm shell and not a hollow point 45 as that would have really fucked you up something bad. Kenny is really lucky to be alive. When the first responders got to you two guys, they weren’t so sure about him. Thankfully, he’s doing okay,” Conner commented.

“What’s the chatter around town these days, since I’ve been out of the business for a while?” Lucky asked. Conner and Neal pulled up a couple of Lucky’s chairs and sat down to talk to him. Rowen and I busied ourselves cleaning up his kitchen but it was open to the living area so we could hear them talking, not that they didn’t want us to hear them, but we thought we might as well get a few things done. “Have you been sworn in as Chief yet?” Lucky asked. Conner chuckled.

“Still acting chief as the Mayro Pro-Tem hasn’t been sworn in as mayor yet to swear me in as Chief. Politics. The whole city council is looking at each other trying to figure out if any of them were involved in all this corruption. We don’t have any evidence that any of them are and I don’t suspect anyone so far. If there were some, the mayor and police chief aren’t singing yet. I would think they would use that type of information as leverage to cut a deal with the DA to try to save their hides. So far no one is talking so who knows. In the evidence we picked up, the journal you and Kenny escaped with and the stuff the idiot cousins volunteered to us at their house, there was nothing to indicate anyone other than the mayor and police chief. I guess the chief was paying the one idiot on the force, that was collecting drug samples, out of the money he was getting form W&S,” Conner told Lucky.

“Any fallout from the mob back east? Any strangers in town poking around looking for Kenny?” Lucky asked.

“We’ve seen a couple around town, but they haven’t talked to anyone that we know of. If they contact anyone, the ones they contact will become immediate suspects as to being involved. We have them under tight surveillance so they really haven’t moved. W&S are trying to get counsel in Chicago from what we’ve heard. So far, the only lawyers in town representing them are public defenders, and the PD’s don’t want anything to do with their cases. They’re just going through the motions of representing them until permanent counsel can be obtained, which will come at a heck of a price. The DA seized all their assets and cash. W&S Construction is closed for the time being also. We’ve gone through that place with our forensics team and found more interesting information,” Conner replied. Lucky asked if the drugs that were seized had been stored in a safe place where they wouldn’t disappear. Conner chuckled. “We turned those over to the state for their protection and to get them out of Uni. The mob might know where they are, but I’ll be damned if they’ll ever be able to steal them back. We kind of think that’s what the scouting team is in town for to find the location of the drugs. They had to loose a freaking fortune, and I’m sure they’re having a cash problem at the moment with their suppliers in Mexico. Oh well, too bad, so sad,” Conner chided. Lucky shook his head.

“Do I have any reason to be concerned staying here in my house, Conner? You don’t think anyone’s going to break in and try to off me, do you?” Lucky asked, noting he did not have an officer outside his door protecting he and Kenny like at the hospital.

“I think you’re in the clear. Between you and your partner, Rowen, and the fire power you have between you, I don’t think anyone’s going to be crazy enough to fuck with you, Lucky. We’re still concerned about Kenny though. Once he gets out of the hospital, which looks like possibly a few more days, we’re not sure where to put him. I know Clay told us he’d keep him at his apartment, but there’s no easy way to protect that place. Neal checked in to a halfway house for medical patients transitioning from the hospital to their residences, but that’s kind of tough to protect him there also. Then Cal tells me Baxter wants him out of town somewhere unknown. If the FBI wants that, they’ll have to make arrangements to handle that situation,” Conner replied.

“Well, I told Kenny this morning that he might as well move in here to my spare bedroom since I have Rowen here. He and Rowen have struck up a friendship. If Rowen is here, he can handle both of us, although I hope I’m back to work by then. Then you have Rowen and I for protection. I’m sure Garth can rig up some outside surveillance cameras for us so we can monitor everything. No one really has to know where he is. Like you said, we have enough fire power to handle a small invasion, so with a couple of bodies in the yard, that might serve as a deterrent for anyone else to try to break in,” Lucky replied.

“Damn, you play rough, don’t you,” Conner replied chuckling. Lucky said it is what it is.

“I don’t see anyone trying to break in to get him, but then you never know. He’s a very strong material witness. I hate to put him in jail to protect him although that’s probably where he should be. But because of what he did for you, I kind of want to cut him some slack,” Conner replied. “Staying here might just be the answer as I have police protection built in, plus anonymity. I could drop your squad car off and sit it in the driveway just for added deterrence,” Conner suggested. Lucky said that might help.

“Josh,” Lucky hollered at me. I answered.

“You rang, your majesty?” I answered in my smartass way. Lucky chuckled. Conner said he saw how it was going to be with Rowen and me waiting on him.

“Do you think Garth could rig up some outside surveillance cameras with motion detectors for us outside the house here?” Lucky asked. I told him I was almost sure we could with everything we did at Clay’s house to capture everything inside. “Great, the sooner the better,” Lucky almost commanded. I told him I’d have that done by this evening.

“Damn, you’ve got some balls, Lucky,” Conner chided. Lucky told him he had nice balls that even Neal liked to look at. Neal rolled his eyes. Conner laughed. “Yeh, Neal’s been missing you teasing him in the locker room. He says it’s just not as interesting when you’re not there,” Conner teased. Neal looked embarrassed. Lucky laughed, saying he missed being in the locker room.

“Speaking of that surveillance at Clay’s apartment, Josh, I’m still upset with you for not telling me about that. I let Cal know I wasn’t happy about that either,” Conner told me as if he was reprimanding me again.

“I told you I was sorry about that, but we really weren’t sure if it would be successful or not. Cal kind of ran the operation. All I did was to provide the technology to make it happen,” I replied somewhat conciliatory. Conner shook his head.

“It just bothers me that you and some of your guys were involved in that stakeout, and it could have been dangerous. And you, Lucky, I heard you were mixed up in that also. You trying to get a detective job or what. You tired of the streets and being a patrolman?” Conner asked Lucky. Lucky chuckled.

“I just got caught up in the investigation seeing where it might lead. Cal had it all under control. I just stayed in the parking lot to make sure no other bad guys showed up. I was off-duty so it wasn’t costing the department anything,” Lucky replied. Conner shook his head, telling Lucky, had he been involved in a shootout, things could have got sticky. “Hey, Clay was a friend. Cal was a friend, and Josh is like the best friend ever, so all I was doing was hanging out with friends, for the record that is, although I can testify as to what happened and when if you need me to. There, I helped you out again,” Lucky assured him. Conner shook his head.

“Good grief, half the town was involved, and I didn’t even know about it. You’d think my ‘friends’ would have clued me in,” Conner replied.

“But what if you’d have told the Chief as to what was going on and the surveillance that was taking place? He would have told W&S, and Kenny might have been dead before we even found out who all was involved. It all worked out although we hated not involving you, because, really you are a friend and we do like hanging out with you,” I replied. Conner shook his head, telling me what I just said may have been true. “It all worked out for the best,” I assured him.

“Josh, I just worry about you. Damn, we’ve grown to really care about you as good as you treat everyone. You’re doing some great work for this town and you’ve helped so many of us that are gay. I just couldn’t stand it if something happened to you. I love you too much for that,” Conner said. I went to him and gave him a hug. Conner was only too eager to hug me. Neal wanted a hug also, so I gave him one too.

“Hey, I wouldn’t do anything too crazy. You know that,” I replied. Lucky rolled his eyes, thinking about Rowen and I having sex with a gun pointed at our heads and then having to take out X.

“Rowen, if someone bad wants to come through that door, what are you going to do?” Lucky asked him as if it was a trick question. Rowen smiled.

“Three 9mm shells center mass in rapid fire,” Rowen replied. Conner smiled.

“This boy knows his stuff. You know we never did figure out who took out X. It wasn’t like a mob style hit or anything. It was more like law-enforcement if you ask me. What I just asked Rowen was exactly what happened to X. He got three shells center mass, right through the heart. And damn, if it wasn’t his own gun that did it. Go figure,” Conner said, trying to think how something like that could have happened. “Lucky, do you think Kenny could have had something to do with X’s demise?” Conner asked.

“No. I say that for a couple of reasons. First of all, Kenny could never shoot anyone. He drew the line on that. That was rather evident in all the things he confided in with Clay which came out in their meetings. Now maybe he could have shot someone in self-defense if it was either him or them. Secondly, he thought X was going to come and take him and Shelley away from all of this. He was looking to X for protection. He was just as stunned as the rest of us that X was shot when he was,” Kenny replied, keeping the details of X’s demise secret. Conner scratched his head.

“It’s crazy as no one seems to know what happened. We don’t think it was W&S’s team that got him, but in a way it could have been Guido that double-crossed him. We know he wasn’t killed there where the body was dumped as there was no blood splatter there and the gun had been wiped clean. It was done somewhere else and the body dumped at W&S Construction almost as if someone was sending them a message. If Guido had something to do with it, why would he dump the body there? It just doesn’t make sense. It almost looks like the FBI had something to do with it as clean as the crime scene was. Ordinarily with the kind of dregs of humanity that we deal with for murders like that, it’s never that clean. Usually, we get some kind of DNA or something to go by, but this scene was clean, pristine clean like a professional cleaner took care of things so there’d be no trace of anything to go on,” Conner stated.

“I guess it will be one of those unsolved mysteries we’ll never know about,” Lucky replied. Conner gave him a suspicious look, then shook his head.

“Well, in a way, whoever made it happen did us all a favor in a way. That was one less bad guy we had to deal with thankfully,” Conner added. He had no idea that Rowen, who was standing beside him right now, was the one that took X out to save my life and his. Conner would shit if he knew the truth. None of us were about to tell him.

“Rowen, I talked to your instructor at the academy. Graduation is next week, but he said he hated to say this but he couldn’t graduate you because you’ve missed too much time recently. You didn’t finish your internship and you missed the final exam. I wish there was something we could do about it, given what all you have done for the department and Lucky. He did say he could have you attend just the parts you missed and take the final exam with the next class of cadets he has later in the fall. I’m sorry to have to tell you that. I wish there was something Conner and I could do about it,” Neal told Rowen. Conner confirmed Neal was right.

“No worries. I did what I felt I needed to do, and that was to take care of my partner first, which I’m still doing. Josh still has me on the payroll for protection so I’m not hurting not to be able to become a rookie in a couple of weeks. If Kenny moves in here with Lucky to rehab, then I’ll take care of him also. I don’t need the official badge to know that I have to take care of my partner and whatever the department needs me to do,” Rowen replied.

“Hey, you guys need to give him an accommodation of sorts also, Conner. He’s been there when I needed him doing his duty to protect and serve his partner. He’s a true-blue officer if there ever was one, knowing more about the force and practicing it than your new rookies know for sure,” Lucky told Conner. Conner sighed.

“I know. We’ll figure something out for him as you are a hundred percent right in that he served his department and his partner with bravery and valor. Even though you don’t have the badge, Rowen, you’re still an ex-officio officer in the squad and I’ll make sure you’re treated like one from the rest of the force,” Conner committed to him. I thought Rowen was going to cry he was so excited to hear that. I gave Rowen a hug, telling him he was special in many ways. He just beamed.

“Okay, I have to go to work. I can’t hang out with you guys all day long. Some of us have to work,” I told them. Conner said they needed to go also. Conner wanted to know if there was anything I taught Rowen about the gay way and if so, he needed to warn Lucky. Rowen laughed, saying he and Lucky were on the same team. While that surprised Lucky, who wasn’t sure what that meant, Conner and Neal took it to mean he was straight just like Lucky. I, on the other hand, had a silent laugh. “Enough, I’m out of here. I have a luncheon meeting in ten minutes I need to be there for. I’ll send lunch over to you and Lucky, Rowen. I’ll check back with you this afternoon. I’ll bring Garth over to see about getting cameras set up also. You two behave yourselves and you, Conner and Neal, go catch the bad guys and keep us safe,” I told them. I got hugs from all as I left, then hurried to the CNB for our luncheon meeting.

Will, Jake and Blake arrived at the same time I did. I saw a group walking across the parking lot making their way over for our luncheon meeting. I told Eric to send someone over to Lucky’s with lunch for him and Rowen. He said he’d send Trent since Trent knew both of them well. That taken care of, I noticed a new, but familiar face, with Jordan and Buzz. It was Swain. He joined us for lunch, giving the rest of us handshakes as Jordan introduced him to those he hadn’t met yesterday. Both Jordan and Swain seemed very happy.

“I invited Swain to join us for lunch today which I hope is okay as we still have a full day’s work ahead of us. I didn’t think we had anything confidential to discuss today anyway,” Jordan commented.

“Great, glad to have him. Gives us an opportunity to get to know him better and find out more about you in law school, Jordan,” I replied getting a somewhat concerned look back, then a slight smile.

“Oh, he was interesting in law school, that’s for sure,” Swain commented right off the bat. “We had some very interesting times to say the least. He and his roommate, Everette, and I used to pal around a lot, even triple dated at times, if you can imagine that. That was back when we were all dating girls. I understand he’s had a change of lifestyle since then, which is fine,” Swain added.

“He sure as hell has. Thank goodness he did,” Buzz said, holding onto Jordan’s arm. Buzz just smiled.

“Swain was more of a ladies’ man anyway. He and Everette went straight and I veered off into gay land, what can I say.

“Those women were just after him for sex, from what he told me. He wanted a deeper relationship I guess,” Swain chided. Jordan rolled his eyes at Swain.

“It was Josh’s fault, dragging me into a gay company like he did, but I tell you what, I couldn’t have found a better place to land than here. I told you, Swain, how much we’ve grown since we first started. And we haven’t stopped since. Josh is going crazy trying to keep things prioritized and Ken, Nate, Taylor and I are trying to keep the admin staffed to keep up with the new business. Now we have a whole new entity with the new hospitality component of the company that Logan heads up. Buzz had to hire two new intern architects just to keep up with our building projects. The aviation department is booming and we’re needing to buy more planes and hire more pilots. Everything is growing so fast, it almost makes you dizzy,” Jordan explained.

“Not only is your company going through a huge growth spurt, you find yourselves emersed in a crime wave here in Uni of all places. I couldn’t believe what happened in this small pristine Midwest university town that drug you guys into the investigation. You’d swear we were in Chicago or New York with what happened here. I shake my head every time I think about it. By the way, Baxter makes no bones about hating all these guys that got arrested. He says they’ve been controlling this town with payoffs for ages, and it was high time someone brought them down. For a guy I didn’t think liked anybody, he seems to like all you guys. He says you play straight and are always on the right side of the arguments, plus you’ve been good for business. Billable hours, that’s what law firms are all about as Jordan well knows,” Swain commented.

“That’s why Josh hired Nate and me to avoid those billable hours. Oh, and we have our original attorney for the company on a retainer in Key West, Florida, where we have four properties there, two in operation and two more coming on line sometime this year,” Jordan replied.

“Gees, what a place to have business entities. You guys do have a wide portfolio of businesses and in some nice places,” Swain commented.

“So, I hear you’re engaged, Swain, and your fiancé enticed you to come live and work here in Uni with no idea that Jordan was here also?” I asked. Swain smiled.

“I recently found out he was here from Link’n. Kind of a nice surprise really, as I already knew someone here where I’d be working. Yes, Melinda, my fiancé, her family is here. Her dad is a professor at the University and she’s working for a large multinational insurance conglomerate headquartered in New York, but a large office in Chicago. They really wanted her in Chicago, but since she works from her home, they’ve allowed her to live here in Uni, but then she has to travel occasionally. Hell, she makes more money than I do, so it made more sense to settle here than to displace her for my job. Besides, I really liked it here when I first visited her family some time ago. Now I know Jordan is here, it made it all the better,” Swain said, smiling at Jordan. I told Swain, a friend of Jordan was a friend of ours so to join us whenever he could if he didn’t mind hanging out with our crowd. “Thanks, Josh. I couldn’t think of nicer people to hang out with than Jordan and his friends. He’s one of the best friends I’ve ever had. I hate the fact we lost track of each other after law school, but I got snapped up with one of those high-browed East Coast firms that promised me the moon, then forget to pay me for it when I delivered. I was working 90 hours a week and they wanted more but were only paying me a paralegal’s salary. I was burned out in a couple of years and just needed a change. I got to work on some damn interesting cases, but that was all I got out of it other than stress and barely making a living. I met Melinda in Washington, DC, where I was working at the time, thinking I could really advance my career there, but that wasn’t to be. I was a slave at best. She hated the rat race there also. She painted this beautiful picture of a small university town in the Midwest, telling me it was just the peace that she felt we needed. She put in for a transfer to work from here and they liked her enough to let her move. I put my resume out for law firms here and Baxter called me right off the bat. He told me he had a great guy working for him he thought was really going to go places, but up and left for a hell of an opportunity even he couldn’t have turned down, so he said. I had no idea it was Jordan. Made sense though, as he was always the one we looked up to in law school. So, anyway, here I am, and I have no regrets for being here,” Swain explained.

“So how long have you and Melinda known each other?” I asked Swain. He had to stop and think as to how long he did. He said he met her in a bar in Washington. She told him he looked lonely and depressed. Swain told us he thought she was more lonely and depressed than he was, but went along with her. They became friends and started dating and thought, what the hell, we might as hang together.

“I didn’t really have time for dating and she was busy as hell also so we just kind of hung out together at first and enjoyed a few benefits which was always fun,” he chided. “I guess we eventually decided we liked each other and might as well get married, but we both knew we needed a change of pace and Uni seemed to fit the bill,” Swain explained.

“So when’s the wedding date, or have you set one yet?” Jordan asked Swain. Swain smiled.

“Don’t have an exact date yet, but sometime at least a year from now. Melinda and her mother need at least that amount of time to plan a wedding, don’t you know. This has to be the big social event of the year according to her mother. I told Melinda it doesn’t have to be anything fancy. She told me that it most certainly had to be or her mother would disown her. She told me to be a good boy and just do as I was told for this wedding. Shit, all I have to do is show up and dress like they want me dressed. She has a couple of younger brothers that I’ve been told will also be groomsmen because hell, I didn’t know anyone else in town. I guess you could be my best man, Jordan. Might as well get you involved in this shit show. I might need a real friend to get through all this,” Swain chided, making us all laugh.

“Lucky you, Swain. Good luck with all the wedding planning. I don’t know why people spend the kind of money they do on weddings when as much as what they spend could damn near buy a house, something you have even after the wedding. People spend a fortune on a wedding just for a party, fond memories and some pictures which also cost a fortune. You’d think that money would be well spent on a house or something tangible to have and use. Half the time the couples end up in divorce a couple years later anyway. Beats me, but I guess it’s still fashionable,” Jordan commented.

“Evidently it is for her parents, but then she’s the only daughter so I guess they want to make sure they send her off right,” Swain replied.

“So you guys living at her house with her parents or what’s the deal you have worked out?” Buzz asked the question. Swain smiled.

“Her parents are very traditional. Not that they think we don’t fuck or anything, but we have to keep up the proper appearance. I have my own apartment where I stay, which I have to say, I enjoy not having to be with her 24 hours a day, something I probably will have a hard time adjusting to once we are married as I do like my own private time. I hated all her girly stuff in my apartment in Washington strewn around my bathroom and those damn bloody sanitary napkins stinking up the place. Yuk. We’ll have to get a larger apartment or buy a house once we get married as my place is too small for both of us,” Swain replied. Jordan asked him if she came over for booty calls. “Oh hell yes. But, she has to be discreet about it ,and it only happens a couple of times a week as she’s so afraid her parents will find out. That’s the shits,” Swain replied.

“Well, welcome to the SE family of dudes, Swain. You’re welcome to hang with us anytime you want to as we’re happy to have any friend of Jordan’s as a friend of ours,” I told him. Buzz told him he had to come to their house sometime to hang out so he could learn more about Jordan’s previous life before Uni. Swain told him he really didn’t want to know, making us all laugh, even Jordan. Jordan was right in that Swain was very fun loving it seemed.

We finally let up on Swain and got our business out of the way. There wasn’t much new to report other than we got Lucky home and he was doing better. Swain actually said that Baxter was probably there at the hospital now interviewing Kenny, which updated us in that.

Chapter 786 - E

“Swain and I spent most of the morning determining how to transcribe all the surveillance video we have. Most of what the court is concerned with is the text, who said what to whom. They don’t necessarily need to see all the graphic detail of what took place in the bedroom as most of that was devoid of conversation pertinent to the case. There is no question that Clay and Kenny were intimate and that the intimacy may have been intended on Clay’s part to earn Kenny’s trust so Clay and the authorities could gain valuable information. We believe there was no entrapment as Kenny pursued Clay to begin with and Clay played into his hands to gain intelligence into the W&S crime organization. So we’re working on a way to get the recordings transcribed. We’ll take a look at a few this afternoon, but it may take more than a day to go through all of them. We’ll just have to see,” Jordan reported.

“Better take a cum wipe with you as there’s some hot stuff in those recordings, Blake commented, making them all laugh.

“So I’ve been told,” Swain commented. “Hey, at least this case won’t be boring during discovery,” Swain added. He was right about that.

After lunch we all went in different directions. I reached out to Garth to see if he had the exterior surveillance equipment we needed to install at Lucky’s. He said he had just rounded it up and was prepared to head over there. I told him I’d meet him there so no one shot his head off when he got there not realizing it was him. He thanked me graciously for my assistance in helping him stay alive.

I got to Lucky’s, knocked on the door, then let myself in with the key Lucky had given me to come and go so he didn’t have to get up and answer the door. “You guys decent?” I hollered as I opened the door to let Lucky and Rowen know it was me. I immediately saw Lucky laying on the couch in shorts and a t-shirt, no socks or shoes.

“Thank goodness you’re back,” Lucky told me as I came over to him to give him a kiss. I sat on the edge of the couch beside him as he laid there. I asked him if there were any problems and did he need help, and also where Rowen was. Lucky sighed. “Little miss housewife has run to the hospital to see his other patient as Kenny just called him telling him that Baxter had just left. I guess Baxter got to Kenny just after we left this morning and has been there almost the entire time up until Kenny called Rowen,” Lucky replied. As I sat there, I ran my hand up his hairy inner thigh into his shorts leg opening running my fingers into the head of his cock.

“Going commando now, are we?” I asked surprised as I gently played with the head of his penis between my thumb and forefinger.

“Oh, that feels good, Josh. Feel free to explore and have your way with me,” he teased as I felt his cock start to harden. I chuckled.

“I shouldn’t tease you as Garth was right behind me and will be here any minute to install your home security system. We’ll have to take a raincheck on the penis play,” I teased. He looked so disappointed.

“I guess that’s okay as Rowen practically raped me this morning giving me a shower. The fucker stripped naked again and showered with me, standing behind me with a stiffening cock up against my ass, then running his soapy hands all over my balls and cock and even up my ass, Josh. That boy is very handsy these days. I don’t know what got into him lately as his hands really like my body for some reason,” Lucky informed me. I chuckled.

“Hey, this may work out well for your sex life having him here. Might save me having to share benefits with you as I really don’t have time,” I chided, getting a disturbed look.

“Josh, you can’t mean that. You know how I love what you do to me. I’ve got to have that instead of my straight partner trying to tease me when we both know damn well that’s all it is. I mean come on. It’s horrible for a straight guy to tease a gay guy sexually when there is no resolution to the matter. That’s just torture,” Lucky complained. “I swear he rubbed his face in my junk when he was drying my feet once we were done. Fuck I swear I thought he was going to swallow my cock there for a second,” Lucky complained.

“And if he had, how would you react?” I asked. Lucky looked shocked.

“Oh, come on, Josh, you know he’d never do that, but he sure as hell teases you enough to make you think he would then it doesn’t happen. That’s just torture for me,” Lucky replied.

“Lucky, the boy adores you, and he’d probably suck your dick if you asked him to, he cares about you that much,” I replied. Lucky looked stunned as he thought about it.

“I could never ask him to do something like that, when I know for a fact that is so against anything he believes. I’m not saying he wouldn’t do it, but he might hate me for asking making him think he had to do it to make me happy. No, I just couldn’t do that,” Lucky replied as I slid my hand further into his shorts and cupped his balls, then stroked his now hard cock. “Fuck that feels hot. I swear I got a short handjob this morning as Rowen was ‘supposedly’ washing my cock and balls. I’m telling you he’s handsy, Josh. He gets really handsy giving me a shower,” Lucky again semi-complained, but I was sure he liked it. He just didn’t want me or Rowen to think he did. “Anyway, Rowen was doing laundry, and he wanted my briefs to wash with the rest of my clothes. He’s already made fun of some of my worn-out underwear asking me if Marvin fucked me with them on as some of them have holes on the bottom. I told him I could only wish he had of. That even made the little fucker smile. I don’t get him lately, I swear. So, I’m going commando as he washed everything. He’s been cleaning all morning also. I’m telling you he’s little miss homemaker. Not that I didn’t need a thorough cleaning, but the boy has been busy to say the least. I was glad to see him go pester Kenny and leave me alone for a while anyway,” he said, then immediately said in an excited voice, “ Will you either leave my cock and balls alone or suck me off, one or the other? I swear I’ve got precum stains on my shorts now, and you know what Rowen is going to say when he sees that,” Lucky warned. I stopped playing with his cock and balls, although it did feel nice to play with him. I pulled my hand out of his shorts and tasted a little dab of his precum, telling him it was nice and fresh. He just shook his head. “You both get me sexually excited and nothing happens. You just churn up my balls, my dick is ready to breed and then nothing. Great friends you guys are,” Lucky complained, making me laugh. Just then there was a knock at the door which I presumed was Garth.

I determined it was Garth and let hm in. He came over to Lucky and shook his hand, welcoming him back to the living. Lucky just shook his head, but told Garth it was good to see him. Garth asked where we wanted all the equipment set up for viewing the exterior cameras. Lucky said he needed a feed to his TV’s in the living room here and in his bedroom. Garth said he could give him access to both. Lucky wanted to know if he needed the password for his home internet. Garth said he already hacked into his internet and got the code so he was good to go. Lucky just shook his head, wondering why we had to have passcodes for internet security when guys like Garth could get them anyway. Garth just chucked, telling Lucky he, Garth, was talented in that area, but not just anyone could gain access to that sort of thing. Made me a little concerned also. Garth set up the main console, command center for the cameras, in the living room beside the TV. The he told us he was going outside to set up the surveillance cameras which would be powered by 6 month batteries so there weren’t any wires and certainly no obvious solar panels for power. He had small ones that were virtually undetectable. That peaked Lucky’s and my curiosity. He showed us a very tiny one that was a pan, tilt and zoom, telling us he could zoom inside the neighbors house across the street if the shades or drapes were open. He called it a ‘privacy invader’.

“So, I’m going to give you coverage of the entire street both ways at the same time, all parts of the front yard, driveway, back yard and side yards. There are motion detectors also so if something moves in any area, the cameras pick them up and follow them. You will get a ding to let you know motion was detected, but it’ll all be recorded and held for up to 60 days so we can review anything. If anything comes close to the house front, back or side yards you’ll get an alarm, not audible to anyone outside, and your TV will immediately switch to surveillance mode so you can see what exactly is going on. That way you can greet any intruder with the flash of the barrels of your guns,” Garth explained. Lucky seemed damned impressed.

“I put some of these in Alan’s house also, Josh, just so you know,” Garth informed me. I was surprised Alan hadn’t investigated everyone in that neighborhood with the pan tilt zoom cameras installed there. I really didn’t want to think about that.

“That boy is something else when it comes to surveillance and IT, Josh. He was an excellent hire if there ever was one,” Lucky commented, after Garth went back outside.

“Hell, Cal tried to hire him for the FBI. Garth told me if the FBI knew what he knew he might get arrested instead of hired. He told me the FBI didn’t need to know the depth of his knowledge as they might want to lock him up,” I told Lucky who just shook his head guessing that might be true.

Chapter 786 - F

“You mind if Rowen and I come to beer-thirty tonight and have dinner there with you guys?” Lucky asked. I asked him if he felt strong enough to do that this evening. “I might not drink any beer, but I just need to get out and feel alive again, if you know what I mean. Hanging with you guys is one way to make me feel good again, doing something I’m normally used to doing, just to start to help me get my life back again,” he explained. I could see the anxiousness in his eyes.

“If you promise me you won’t overdo it. If you feel weak, or get tired, then Rowen needs to bring you home. There will be plenty of time for hanging together when you feel better and get your strength back,” I assured him. He said he understood and would behave himself. I told him I’d see him then. I leaned down and pulled his cock out of his shorts leg and kissed the head, then wiped my tongue across his piss slit to give him even more of a thrill.

“Oh fuck, that felt good. You’re such a damn tease, you and that partner of mine. You guys are killing me,” Lucky complained big time this time. I told him to be careful what he asked Rowen for, as he just might get it. Lucky shook his head as if that would never happen. I kissed him goodbye then headed out reminding Lucky not to shoot Garth as he was still here working on the surveillance system. “Hell, maybe I can talk him into a blow job,” Lucky chided. It was possible, I had to think, but I just chuckled and left.

I decided to stop by the dorm since I hadn’t been there in days. I checked in with Jake and Will. They wanted to know how Lucky was this afternoon. I told them he was horny I believed but I left him with Garth so I wasn’t sure what was going to happen. Will asked if Garth knew what he was up against. I just chuckled and shook my head. While I was talking to them, I got a text from Jordan asking me if I was going to be back in the office this afternoon. I texted him back, saying I didn’t expect to, and asked him what he needed. He answered saying, ‘no worries, he’d talk to me tomorrow as it wasn’t that important’. I said I’d talk to him tomorrow then. I got a smiley face emoji back. I figured he was having too much fun with Swain watching those videos of Clay and Kenny.

“What did you think of Swain?” Will asked me. I told him I really liked the guy so far anyway, although I hadn’t been around him other than meeting him yesterday and having lunch with him today. I told him he seemed nice enough and seemed like he might be a lot of fun. “I liked him also. You’ve got to love Jordan, and I certainly do, but he is so serious at times and too lawyer business like. Not that we don’t need his expertise in our business as I wouldn’t want anyone else. He’s great for us, not doubt about it. I just wonder at times how he and Buzz get along as they are both quiet serous people. They must have most of their fun in the bedroom, is all I can think. Swain seemed like he was full of fun and excitement. You could just tell Jordan’s demeanor changed in Swain’s presence. It was like he woke up and came alive all of a sudden,” Will commented.

“He did seem to really enjoy having Swain with him today. We need to get Swain alone sometime and ask him what Jordan was really like in law school. There has to be more to this story,” Jake commented. Although I knew there was, there was no sense in carrying tales. I cared too much for Jordan to betray his trust, sharing his story of him and Swain in law school. That was the past and today was today.

“Well it might be kind of nice for Jordan to have an old friend nearby to enjoy. It seems like they were pretty close friends in law school, but lost track of each other afterwards. Maybe now they can be great friends again. I wonder what the fiancé is like, and if she’ll be good with their friendship. I don’t see why not, but then you never know,” I remarked.

“Never thought of that. It’s different when you get women involved. You just never know what that will be like. They just don’t understand us bros and our sense of humor,” Jake added. I thought if he only knew.

“Hey, we had one of Buzz’s new architects here this afternoon. His name was Hudson and I have to say, he was kind of hot, like Buzz said. Jake and I helped him with something he was working on for the 8th floor Buzz sent him to investigate,” Will exclaimed.

“So what did he look like and was he friendly enough?” I had to ask. Will said he was very nice looking and yes, he was very friendly. Will said he was someone, even though you met him for the first time, you felt like you’d known him for a long time and he was a good friend. Will said Hudson was taller than Buzz, but slim, shorter dirty blonde hair, a little facial hair as if he hadn’t shaved for a couple of days, but nice, nice semi-harry legs as he was wearing shorts and seemed to have a little chest definition under his polo shirt he was wearing. Will said he had a nice ass from what he could see also, and signs of a nice package bulge in front. “Did you make him strip for an interview?” I chided. Will shook his head.

“Really, Josh. I thought we looked him over pretty damn good without asking him to strip. He was very polite and nice, saying he was looking forward to meeting more of us since we would be working closely with each other with on-going and future projects. Logan got to meet him also. He did tell us Buzz was just fantastic to work with and he’d learned so much from him already. Since we got to talking, and hadn’t met either of the new interns before, I asked him about the other intern also. Hudson said his name was Jasper. We asked him what Jasper was like. Hudson said Jasper was quiet and very studious. I got a little ballsy and asked Hudson if he and Jasper were a couple or dating. He cracked up and said absolutely not. He said Jasper, although great at what he was doing with architecture, was one of those guys that didn’t have time for relationships and just played the field, not getting serious about anyone in particular. They were sharing an apartment for the time being to save money, but they were just roommates and that was all,” Will explained.

“I wonder what kind of guy Hudson is interested in since Jasper is not his type,” I commented.

“You know, I’ve been hanging around you way too long and my balls have grown large enough to ask questions like you do, Josh. I asked him what kind of guy he liked so we could be on the lookout in case we ran across someone we thought he might like. This kind of shocked me, but he told us, he was looking for someone much like Buzz. He said Buzz had the right temperament, was very kind and helpful, and someone he thought he could trust with about anything he went to him with. I asked him if Buzz knew what he was looking for. Hudson said he never discussed that with Buzz as he was keeping that relationship strictly professional. Will replied.

“Gees, he could have at least liked someone a little more mainstream as Buzz is almost one of a kind,” I replied. Will smiled.

“You think?” he asked.

 

[Thanatos]

So some interesting things... Lucky is home with Rowen taking care of him (in more possible ways than what Lucky's comfortable with ), Kenny may be joining the group once he's out of the hospital (which may help Lucky survive Rowen's attention since he will divide his time and cares between two people and which may be helpful for Kenny as far as protection is concerned), Swain doesn't seem such a threat to Jordan and Buzz while Hudson may be as his type looks like Buzz

And Josh teases Lucky two times leaving him high, hard and unsatisfied

Can't wait for the next chapter

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

 

[bigcannon]

Thought I might have missed commenting before the next chapter, but it looks like I made it. Whew! Anyway, Thanatos pretty much summed it up. Interesting we finally get to meet one of Buzz's new protege's. I wonder how he'll fit into the picture going forward. Lucky does seem to be taunted by Rowen, not sure what to think about it. Rowen seems like he may be drifting from his infatuation with Lucky some now that he seems to be getting along great with Kenny. What happens with Rowen if Kenny is sent into hiding down south. Will he fixate on Lucky again? Although, he hasn't given up on Lucky just yet.

We have more to learn about Swain yet also. Is the sexual attraction between Swain and Jordan over now or will it rekindle? So much still up in the air, but so much fun to read about. Can't wait for the next chapter. Write on, FT. BC

 

[funtimes]

Well I was hoping to get this to you last night, but didn't quite finish it in time and cleaned it up this afternoon. So we continue now with Lucky's rehab at home, his trip to the CNB for the first time out of the hospital, Jordan confessing to Josh his true feelings that might get him in tremendous trouble and then Josh meeting the new architects and their interesting conversations. Trying not to get it too complicated, but there's a lot floating around in my brain wanting out through my keyboard so I guess I'll bore you with some of that if you're up to it.

Thanks again for your comments and I'll try to be back to you late this weekend or possibly Monday. Have a great rest of the week, and good luck seeing the eclipse if you're in line to see it. You all take care. Huggs, FT

Chapter 787 – Lucky Gets Settled, Jordan Confesses and Meeting the Architects

It was a rather intriguing conversation Will and Jake had with Hudson, one of Buzz’s new intern architects. I could hardly wait to meet him, but didn’t know when I’d have the opportunity. I really needed to meet them both at the behest of Buzz who’d been trying to introduce me to them since he hired them. There wasn’t enough of me to spread around it seemed.

Lucky and Rowen did show up for beer-thirty. Lucky got cheers when he walked through the door. He looked tired to me, but I wasn’t sure how much rest he really got this afternoon with Garth working on the surveillance system. He sat down beside me. I patted him on the back and asked him how he was doing.

“Well, I made it here which was the plan all along,” he replied. I asked him if he felt strong enough to be here and have dinner with us. “I’m going to try. Rowen told me he’d take me home anytime I wanted to go, but I’m good for right now,” he replied. I got him some ice tea for him to drink. He said he had a couple of pills with him he needed to take with food when he ate. He said he’d wait to eat until we finished our beers and ordered. I told him I could get him food anytime he felt like he needed to eat, as he didn’t need to wait on us. He frowned at me, saying he didn’t need to be treated special, he was good. I gave up trying to placate him. I asked him if Garth finished the surveillance camera set up and activated it. “He did and it looks great, Josh. I’m telling you that boy is damned good at what he does. He has a nice body also,” he replied, making me shake my head. I reached under the table and ran my hand over his crotch giving his dick and balls a little groping, then looked at him and smiled, as if to ask if he got his blowjob. Lucky chuckled, but shook his head.

“What’s going on over there?” Kyle asked, wondering what Lucky and I were smiling about. Lucky told him it was a little inside joke between him and me about stupid stuff. “I’ll just bet,” Kyle replied.

“Where’s Cooper?” Lucky asked, noticing he wasn’t there. “Didn’t you say he came to beer-thirty last night?” Lucky asked. I told Lucky, Cooper had been with us last night, but he was free to come and join us when he wanted. It wasn’t mandatory for him to show up every night. Lucky looked disappointed. Just then, Cooper walked in. He came right over to Lucky, shaking hands with all the other guys again in the process.

“Is this okay if I join you tonight again,” he asked me. I told him absolutely, he could join us every night if he wanted. “I won’t be able to do that, but I had some time tonight and I really enjoyed the company of friends being here last night, so I thought if I had the time, I’d love to spend it with you guys,” he explained. I told him to take a seat.

Lucky told Rowen to move to the seat where Cooper was almost sitting down so Cooper could sit beside him. I could tell that didn’t go over well with Rowen, but he got up from beside Lucky and moved over. Cooper said he was fine where he was sitting, but Rowen, looking somewhat unhappy, switched seats with him. Cooper sat down on Lucky’s bad side and immediately started working his arm.

“You don’t have to perform therapy on me tonight, Cooper. I’m good,” Lucky told him. Cooper asked him how many times he’d worked his arm today. “Well, a few times maybe. Rowen worked it a few times for me,” Lucky explained. Cooper said he saw Rowen at the hospital spending time with Kenny most of the afternoon, so he knew Rowen didn’t do it that many times today, and it needed to be done. Lucky begrudgingly let him do it. “Gees, if you’re going to work me to death, maybe you should sit on the other side of the table and give Kyle some hell,” Lucky chided. Cooper finally stopped but told him he was going to work him every time he saw him so to beware. Lucky just shook his head, saying he could never get any rest. I reminded him he was on the couch all afternoon which is where I found him when I stopped by. He said between Garth and me, he didn’t get much rest as Rowen got back from seeing Kenny just about the time he fell asleep for a nap. Rowen said he’d put him to bed early tonight and read him a bedtime story. I knew what that meant between Rowen and me. I wondered if Rowen was planning on making a move. I kind of thought Lucky might be too tired out for sex tonight as he looked tired now.

Kyle asked Cooper if everything was okay with his apartment. “I’ve never been happier, Kyle. The place is just perfect. I can’t thank Logan enough for giving it up for me. You guys are just the best friends ever. I can’t believe after the horrible last few months in Effingham dealing with my ex, I fell into a group of fantastic guys that all care about one another, instead of trying to take advantage of one another. I swear you guys are just the greatest,” Cooper told them. “Oh, and this beer is just the most fantastic beer ever. Great friends, great beer. Life just is great today. I am so glad I’m here with you guys,” he told us. We all said we were glad to have him.

We had fun drinking beef after work and finally ordered food as Lucky was fading quickly it seemed to me. Even Cooper asked him how he was a few times. We got him some food, which he only ate part of, then I told Rowen he should probably take him home.

“Sorry, guys, but I’m not really back yet. Getting there, but I have a ways to go. I’ll get a good night’s sleep, then be better tomorrow. I promise,” Lucky told us. I got up and helped him off his stool. He gave Cooper a quick hug, telling Cooper he really loved his hugs. Cooper just smiled. I helped walk him out to his truck and Rowen and I helped him into the front passenger seat. “Sorry, Josh. I tried, but it might take a while,” he told me as he hugged me. I gave him a tender kiss on the lips, telling him I would see him tomorrow. He said he looked forward to it. Then I hugged Rowen and gave him a kiss also, telling Rowen he better put him to bed and let him get some sleep. Rowen said that was the plan for tonight as he could see he was really worn out. I mentioned that leaving the hospital this morning then adjusting to home life again, then trying to go out the first night out of the hospital, was probably too much and he was pushing himself too hard.

“I think he has too, Josh. I told him we should stay home tonight and he could take a hot bath and I’d give him a massage, but he wanted to come. I’ll just put him to bed, then maybe run back to the hospital to see Kenny for a little more tonight as he really appreciated me being there this afternoon. We had a great time talking as we always do,” Rowen told me.

“You guys are really striking up a friendship, aren’t you,” I replied. He smiled.

“I really like him, Josh. Clay hasn’t been there much lately which bothers me as I know if bothers Kenny. I hate to see him abandoned which I hope isn’t the case, but I’m not sure. I know Kenny thinks that might be the case, but I’ve assured him that with the arrest of that Aikens guy, Clay has the executive news producer’s job now, so the whole news department fell in his lap along with two intern reporters he’s trying to train. The boy has to be busy,” Rowen said. “Oh, and guess what he asked me when I was leaving tonight to go get Lucky?” Rowen asked me. I waited for him to tell me as I had no idea. “He asked me if he would be out of line if he kissed me goodbye. I swear I got excited when he asked that. I told him I would be honored to kiss him anytime he felt the need. He actually kissed me. It was a tender heartfelt kiss, like the ones you give me at times. Gave me a boner, but I didn’t let him know that. I don’t know for sure, but I think he got one also. Kind of neat in a way,” Rowen exclaimed.

“Hey, for a straight boy, you sure are having fun with gay sex, I have to tell you,” I teased. Just then Lucky tapped on his window telling Rowen he could visit with me later, as he needed to get to bed. Rowen gave me another quick hug, then jumped in the driver’s seat and drove off with Lucky. I shook my head as I walked back in the CNB thinking about what Rowen just told me. I really didn’t know what to think about that situation. Still, I was glad that Kenny and he were developing a close friendship since Clay, whether intentional or not, couldn’t spend much time with Kenny.

Everyone was still having fun as dinner ended. Kyle suggested, since we were having so much fun and Cooper seemed to really be enjoying himself, we should hang out at the apartment. I told them they were all welcome and we headed that way. Kyle told Cooper what a great apartment we had over the bar. Cooper said he was anxious to see it. That was until we entered the apartment and we all took off our clothes down to our briefs. He kind of froze for a second wondering what was happening as if he might have just been ambushed.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Cooper. When we’re in the apartment we all hang out in our briefs. You do have briefs on, don’t you?” I asked, smiling. “If not, we have plenty of new ones I’ll be happy to provide you with. I swear no one will take advantage of you. We just like to be comfortable,” I explained.

“Oh, I have briefs on, I just wasn’t sure what was happening. If it’s good for you, I’m good with it, but just didn’t want to embarrass myself,” he replied then stripped off his shorts and t-shirt. He was wearing boxer briefs like most of the rest of us, but he did have a nice basket for sure. We got to see some nice perky half-dollar sized nipples and that nice hair patterned chest of his again also that we saw momentarily the night before when we stopped by. He’d put his t-shirt back on way too soon for my liking, but we were at his house and were all dressed.

Chapter 787 - B

“So, the next time we come to your apartment, if we strip to our underwear are you good with that?” I teased, making him chuckle.

“If it’s good for you, it’s good for me. I’m just excited to have all of you as great friends already. If I look gross in my underwear, I wish you would tell me, and I’ll put my shorts back on at least,” he replied with a huge smile.

“Cooper you look fantastic in your underwear. Don’t ever cover yourself up on our account. You’re the best looking dude here tonight, I have to say,” I replied. Cooper couldn’t help himself and gave me another hug, our bare chests touching one another, then he backed off saying he probably shouldn’t have done that. I told him I sure as hell liked it, and he was free to hug me naked if he wanted to. That made him chuckle, but he told me that was nice of me to accept him like that.

I showed him the apartment and the shower we had. I turned on the water to show him what it was like which blew his mind. He’d never seen anything like that before ever, so he said. I told him the whole group of us jumped in there together as we all had to get ready practically at the same time every morning. That blew his mind, but he said he appreciated how much we all cared for one another. I told him he was welcome to join us any time he wanted to try it out. He didn’t say anything other than it was a fantastic shower.

I grabbed beers for all the guys. Even Logan and Will were there with us as we hung out in the living room and kitchen island. The guys were wondering what kind of hell Rowen was going through trying to take care of Lucky. I assured them this was his doing, and he willingly wanted to be there for Lucky to help him heal. I told them that Rowen had cleaned up Lucky’s house, done his laundry, changed the sheets on his bed, bathed him and was just doing a fantastic job trying to take care of him. They were all impressed at his dedication to Lucky’s wellbeing. I also told them, as I wanted Cooper to hear this also, that it looked like when Kenny was finally released from the hospital, Lucky had invited him to stay at his house so Rowen could take care of him there also. They thought for his safety it might be better as other home care arrangements with additional security wouldn’t have to be arranged. Rowen said he could take care of two in one place just as easy. Cooper thought that was fantastic. He said he could treat both easier that way, although Lucky was pretty much taken care of. I told Cooper at least Lucky would be happy to see him come to take care of Kenny at least so he could visit with him. Cooper got a kick out of that.

Cooper entertained us for some time with stories of patients he had at the hospital in Effingham. There were some wild stories. We had all kinds of questions and he had comical answers. He was really a great guy to spend time with. Time went by fast as we all enjoyed one another’s company. The guys were finally ready to head for home and got dressed again to leave. Cooper thanked us again for our great friendship, saying he felt like he had lifelong friends now and couldn’t be happier. We all told him we were just as happy to have him be part of us as he was to be a part of us. That made him feel great. He gave Jake and me another hug before he left, thanking us again for a fantastic evening. I told him to drop by anytime, now he knew where to find us. He said we had a great setup for sure.

With everyone finally gone, Jake and I stripped naked, ready for a shower and bed. It seemed like it had been a long day. We had a nice shower washing one another sensuously, getting ourselves aroused in the process, of course. Jake mentioned that I didn’t have bedtime story time with Rowen tonight so we had more time to fuck around. When we jumped in bed, we couldn’t keep our hands off one another and spent another hour, at least, having some very intense gay sex. Our balls finally empty, we fell asleep in each other’s arms.

Jake and I had a little fun with Brady and Zach in our morning shower since Rowen wasn’t there. We had to remind ourselves how we had more fun showering in the morning when he wasn’t living with us. We all cared about him but we were more reserved when he was around operating on the assumption he was straight, even though he kind of veered off the straight track recently. That wasn’t widely known, other than Jake and me. No one lost their load this morning, but it felt good playing with one another once again.

I kissed the boys goodbye as they headed to the dorm and I headed to the office before heading over to Lucky’s to see if they needed anything there. Will and Logan were there and grabbed me for a hug. They both said how nice it was that Cooper joined us in the apartment last night and we got to know him better. They were looking forward to spending more time with him also. I was glad to hear that most of the guys in our group Cooper really liked him. Leaving Will and Logan I stopped into Jordan’s office to see how his afternoon went with Swain. Asking him that question almost caused me some concern. Jordan put his hands on the sides of his head and shook his head left and right as if he was distraught.

“Well, what happened? You two were getting along great at lunch. It couldn’t be that bad, could it?” I asked. He sighed big time.

“Oh, Josh. I don’t know what to say or what to think. We spent a lot of the morning catching up as we worked out the way we wanted the videos transcribed for the court, and who should do them. We both could tell we needed more time together to catch up as there were things that needed to be said, or at least we thought there was. We weren’t sure what, but we knew something was left unfinished when we parted at law school. Well, yesterday afternoon, after we saw the first video and Kenny fuck Clay, that was all it took and we were ripping off our clothes and fucking our brains out for over two hours, Josh. We emptied our balls and wore or cocks out, Josh. It was terrible. Actually, it was fucking hot as hell. I can’t remember ever having sex as hot as that except with you when we just went crazy and did everything everywhere. Fuck, it was hot. When we both caught our breaths and our cocks worn out and flaccid begging us to leave them alone, I asked him what happened to us that we let each other go. He told me he thought Everette and I were serious about going straight, and what we had in law school was just something to blow off stress and sexual tension without having to deal with female relationships and all that mess. He said he actually thought it was one hell of a idea and so much simpler than trying to carry on a relationship with someone who might get clingy when all you wanted to do was empty your balls. He said he actually took it seriously that it was just a tension reliever of sorts between best friends. He told me he felt a little empty for month or so after we graduated and parted ways, but then started to think, okay, it was time to be the normal guy he thought he was all along, assuming Everette and I were doing the same thing. Somehow he kept in touch with Everette or found him on LinkedIn and communicated. I wasn’t on that site that soon after we graduated. He told me that Everette told him about the girl he met and proposed to, so he thought all was well and our plan worked. He told me he was a little rusty at dating and didn’t have much time for it, but he did put in some effort. He did admit to me the sex wasn’t as good as what he remembered it to be with Everette and me. Go figure,” Jordan chided, making me chuckle, as we both knew that was the honest truth. “Anyway, he said he had a few short relationships, off and on, but nothing serious. Then when he met Melinda, they compared their busy, no time for relationship jobs and felt the depression over it. They kind of connected as friends first, then the sex came later. Shit, Josh, Swain told me the sex with Melinda was okay but still wasn’t what he had with Everette and me. He just guessed he had to settle for what it was and live with it. Then when he found me and found out I was gay and came out of the closet and ended up in the best gay company on earth, I had actually found utopia. He was blown away that sex with guys was really that great and usually not just a passing phase. Josh, I swear, as crazy as he is, and I love him for his craziness, he cried when we ejaculated the last time. He cried and held me so tight. He looked me in the eyes and asked why we hadn’t found each other way before now. Damn, if I didn’t feel the same way. Josh, I’m telling you we were just the best of friends and had so much fun together in law school. We just loved being together and when we had sex, damn, it was the best ever, and from what I felt yesterday, it’s still there,” Jordan said shaking his head.

“Oh shit. Now what do you do?” I had to ask. Jordan looked like he wanted to cry. “Well, at least he’s not married yet, but that could get sticky if Melinda found out he dropped her for his best male friend. Then what about Buzz? You love Buzz. You do don’t you?” I had to ask. Jordan wanted to cry. I grabbed him and held his head up against my chest. “It’s okay, no one has been blown out of the water yet anyway. Time to think and be honest with yourself,” I told him.

“I deeply care about Buzz, I really do. Life is comfortable with Buzz. I’m happy living and sharing my life with Buzz. Buzz is not exciting like Swain is, but he’s honest, loving and sexy too. Oh, Josh, what are we all going to do? I wasn’t able to sleep much last night thinking I had just found my true soulmate, and he was back in my life again. It’s like I got a second chance that I never knew I had. What the hell do I do?” Jordan asked me.

Chapter 787 - C

“Well, first of all, does Swain feel the same way about you as you feel about him, because if he loves Melinda and still intends to marry her, then I say you do nothing except the two of you get together and fuck occasionally and not destroy any of your current relationships. There are a lot of variables at play here, Jord. Don’t make any hasty decisions,” I advised. Jordan had calmed down emotionally. “Did you guys even talk about what you wanted to do now that you found each other again?” I asked.

“Yeh, we did, almost immediately after the last drop of cum left our cocks. I was kind of hoping we didn’t, but it did come up while we held each other naked with spent cocks kissing passionately over and over. Fuck, it was crazy, Josh, just crazy,” Jordan replied.

“Well, what did Swain have to say about his relationship with Melinda? Did he say he was so in love with you he would walk away from the wedding of a lifetime right here in Uni where he has to work as an officer of the court and practice law? What would Baxter think about that?” I asked. Jordan shook his head, almost devoid of thought at the moment.

“It all makes me dizzy just to think about doing anything about anything,” Jordan said, shaking his head. “There is just so much at stake here. It’s almost not worth even thinking about it. There is more harm than happiness at stake to do anything. Swain did say that if there was a chance at the two of us being together to live a wonderful happy life, we owed it to ourselves to take it as we would forever regret the fact we didn’t. He said, sure, we could fuck around and hopefully never get caught, but he wanted to be with me and the two of us proud to be with each other. He said he didn’t want to lurk around in the shadows and fuck in cheap motels just to share passionate time with me. I feel the same way about that. He did say there was a strong chance that Melinda would be transferred somewhere else, maybe before a wedding date was set, and if that happened, he would break the engagement as he wasn’t leaving Uni, not since he found me again,” Jordan informed me.

“I’m still trying to figure out this threesome dynamic you guys had in law school. From what you told me, it was you, Everette and just recently added Swain. So, was the sex always between the three of you or were there just two of you at times and was the two-some always you and Everette?” I asked. Jordan cracked a smile.

“Okay, so I haven’t told you everything, Josh, as it was a few years ago, not many, but long enough and why complicate the story and confuse you, since I’ve only told you about this anyway. Okay, so many times it was just Everette and me until Swain walked in on us that one time and wanted to join in. He came around a lot more often then and it was mostly the three of us then. You know from experience in a threesome there are always two people that might be more into one another than the third. Like if you and Jake have a threesome with Will. You and Jake are more into it with each other than Jake and Will or you and Will. At least I would assume so, right?” he asked. I chuckled.

“Actually, I’m more into Will during a threesome with him since I already have Jake anytime I want him,” I teased. Jordon looked stunned. “I’m kidding asshole. Of course, that goes without saying. I love them both, but I love Jake more than I love Will and that will always be the case no matter what,” I replied.

“For a minute there, I thought you gave me a heart attack. Whew, glad you clarified that. So, you understand there are usually two more into it and more excited and passionate about being involved in intimate sex than possibly a third. Well, for us, it was Swain and me. Don’t get me wrong, I deeply cared and adored sex with Everette, and for the longest time, he was all that was available. But, from the first time Swain jumped into the fray, well, that changed everything for me. Swain and I did have many twosomes together behind Everette’s back, I feel embarrassed to say. But it wasn’t like this was going to go on. Everette was certain this had to end when law school was over and it ended. Everette was a dead end, which I knew all along. Who knew if Swain and I kept in contact with one another what might have happened between him and me. We both got a kick out of the fact that Everette is somewhat miserable with his life now, thinking that it just had to be that way,” Jordan explained. I sighed.

“Did you have sex with Buzz last night, and if you did, how did that go?” I asked. He smiled.

“No, we didn’t have sex last night so there were no concerns, other than chatter about how great it was to meet Swain, one of my best friends and we should invite him over to spend time with us. Yeh, right.”

“Do you guys usually have sex most every night?” I asked. He looked at me like I was crazy.

“No, not usually. I don’t know, we just usually know when both of us are somewhat in the mood, then things get initiated, but that usually involves us having to shower first and sometimes it’s just not worth the effort to get ready for it,” Jordan replied. I looked at him like he had two heads. “What, do you and Jake have sex almost every night?” he asked. I chuckled.

“Duh! We can’t hardly keep our hands off one another. Sometimes we’re worn out, but most of the time we’re going for each other’s cock and ass and splash our jizz all over each other, down our throats or up our asses. Yeh, we have a hot passionate time together and sometimes involving a threesome which can be fun,” I replied.

“Why do you think I tease you the way I do at times with my red bikini underwear? You’re spontaneous at times making love. With Buzz, you almost have to plan ahead for it so we can both be ready and clean. It’s not that way with you, Josh. You feel it and you go after it. Sex is so much more fun with you than it is with Buzz. Don’t get me wrong, I do deeply care about him and I enjoy the sex we do have, but it’s not like you and Jake at all. It’s almost routine and monotonous in a sense. I’m not unhappy with it one bit, because there’s always the chance for excitement with you at times here in the office. Let me tell you, it’s those times that make me cum the hardest and make me love you the most. I swear you could never fuck me enough in this office or anywhere, I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but it’s true,” Jordan confessed.

“Jord, you never told me that before. That’s crazy,” I told him. He told me it was crazy but it was true. “And sex with Swain is almost as good as sex with me?” I had to ask being ornery. He smiled.

“If you say so,” he replied, but I knew he wanted to say Swain took him places he’d never been before. I laughed, then gave him a hug. “So Swain is ‘the one’ it sounds like. Now all we have to figure out is how to put all the pieces in the right places without destroying too many lives. Can you and Swain at least agree to let this fierce love you have for one another stay hidden for the time being until we can logically think this through and form a plan to move this towards reality if indeed it makes sense to do that. This infatuation just blew up yesterday. Let’s let the dust settle a bit before we blow up the world, so to speak,” I suggested. Jordan hugged me tightly.

“I know that’s what we have to do and Swain knows that also. I just had to share this with you because I knew you would understand and give me solid advice as to what to do. I can’t talk to anyone else, or would I, about this other than you, Josh. I trust you more than I trust myself so I need you in my life to keep me sane,” he told me, then hugged me tightly.

“I’m here for you, Jord. I always will be in good times and bad as we all have to stick together and help each other out. So what are you doing today? I thought you said Swain was coming over today also,” I asked. He smiled.

“Yes, Swain should be here any minute. Are you going to be in the office all day today by chance?” he asked. I told him only for a brief time this morning, then I had things out of the office I had to attend to such as Lucky. “Good, because Swain and I kind of borrowed your shower yesterday after I called you to find out if you were coming back. Don’t worry, I cleaned the shower after we sprayed the walls with cum. It’s good to go for you now. But, we might need that again this afternoon, so I just thought I’d ask,” Jordan said smiling. I shook my head.

“You dawg, you. Sure, Jord, you may use my shower on one condition,” I told him as he anxiously awaited my condition. “I get to fuck you in my shower sometime. Maybe we’ll make it a threesome, since you’re so fond of those, and I’ll fuck you and Swain,” I told him. Jordan got all excited saying it was definitely a ‘deal’. I laughed, then kissed him passionately, telling him things have a way of working themselves out. Jordan seemed relieved to have confided in me what he was feeling. I had to admire him for that. What to do about it though, I had no idea.

Thinking I hadn’t stopped by to meet Buzz’s new architects, I left Jordan’s office and headed down a couple of floors in the office building to Buzz’s suite. His receptionist/ secretary sister, greeted me with a hug, saying she never got to see me that often anymore. I told her I regretted the fact I didn’t have more time to spend with Buzz and her, but I was keeping Buzz busy. She attested to that.

Chapter 787 - D

“Hey, Josh, you finally made it,” Buzz said, giving me a hug also. “Crazy things are happening lately. Jordan is all excited to have his law school buddy back around again. Now maybe I can learn more about what he was like in law school that I never knew,” Buzz commented. I told him Swain seemed like a fun guy for the brief time I’d met him. “He’s seems great and he makes Jordan happy, which makes me happy,” Buzz replied. I thought if he only knew how happy Jordan really was. “Hey let me round up Hudson and Jasper and introduce them to you,” he said. He told his sister to bring some coffee into their conference room and they’d meet us there.

“Oh, those guys have been a lifesaver, Josh. He finally hired some talent to help out. He was driving himself crazy trying to keep up with just the two of us and I was very limited as to what I could help him with. It’s a wonder he hasn’t lost his mind yet,” she commented as she took off to grab coffee and lead me to their small conference room.

I was led into their conference room and she poured me a cup of coffee. “So you say these two new guys are a huge help for him. I’ve been telling him to hire some help because it doesn’t look like our growth is slowing down anytime soon. Then there are those times when a deal just happens that’s too good to turn down, and we have to react to renovations and enlargements right away. Now he has some flexibility.”

“Absolutely, Josh. I’ve been harping at him also, just like you have, but he listens more to you than me. These two new guys are just great also. Buzz really likes this Hudson that he hired. He seems pretty high on him. There just seems to be the perfect chemistry between the two. Jasper is great also, but for my money, Hudson and Buzz are definitely on the same wave-length but Jasper is right there supporting them. The three together make a great team. And damn, if they just aren’t the cutest things. Just then, the three of them walked through the door. I stood up to shake their hands as Buzz’s sister disappeared.

“Guys, this is Josh, the CEO of Stoney Enterprises, basically our largest customer and sometimes our only customer, but now that I have you guys to help out, we can now expand ourselves. Josh is beloved by all of us, believe me when I say that, as he’s just the greatest guy ever both personally and professionally. And, he thinks like we do as far as our private lives are concerned. He will always look out for us, I can assure you,” Buzz said introducing Hudson and Jasper, both great looking guys in my mind.

“Great to meet you guys. I’ve already heard my guys talk about Hudson having stopped by the dormitory project to investigate some things. They told me they were glad to meet you, Hudson,” I told him, getting a huge smile. “Jasper, you’ll have to stop in there sometime and meet Will, Logan and Jake. Will his my VP of Operations, my right hand man. Logan is ahead of our hospitality division which includes the dormitory, the Grand Victorian Hotel in Key West and the two Gay resorts in Key West, the current Pink Flamingo and the new Phallic Palace under construction as you very well know, having worked on the GV and PP so far. I guess you guys also worked on the expansion and renovation of the new CNB there also,” I explained.

“Josh, if there is some way we could get down there in the very near future, we really could use the opportunity as there are a number of questions that could help us tremendously with a site visit,” Hudson told me.

“I hear you, and Buzz told me the same thing. I’m in hopes we can do this next week sometime if that works with your schedule. How many need to go, Buzz?” I asked.

“I was really thinking of sending Hudson and Jasper for this trip, but in my discussions with Woody, he’d like me down there again also, so I guess it would be Hudson and me for the trip and Jasper can man the office, then send Jasper the next time you have a trip down,” Buzz suggested. I told them that sounded good to me as I couldn’t take too many at one time, and this time I would probably have a full plane for the trip, so two would work okay.

We spent several minutes talking and I listened to the two explain their backgrounds and what their interests in architecture was. I could sense that Buzz was very high on Hudson more so than Jasper, although Jasper seemed pretty sharp also and certainly was hot enough to want to fuck in my mind. I looked at the way Buzz was looking at Hudson when he talked. Although I was sure it was nothing but professional admiration and pride for his newbie, he still seemed to have more of an attraction to Hudson than to Jasper for some reason. If Buzz’s sister sensed it, it had to be there. Now if I could get them to intensity their attraction moving it to an intimate situation in Key West, Jordan just might have a path to paradise without hurting Buzz. Melinda would have to fend for herself. I didn’t want to be sexist, but she was a female among gay males and she would definitely be on her own.

“So do both of you enjoy what you’re doing so far working here with Buzz?” I finally asked.

“Oh, Buzz is fantastic to work for. He gives us our freedom in design work, anxious to see what we can visualize as opposed to what he sees. Then we compare and contrast, and finally end up with something we all like. Our brainstorming sessions are great. I just feel invigorated after these sessions like I finally found a great place to work using my architecture skills,” Hudson replied as he looked at Buzz and smiled. I asked Jasper if he felt the same way.

“I like the nitty gritty details of construction design more than the overall picture. Once we decide form and function, then I love to design the inner workings of the structure, the technical side, to build it. I’m more of the framework guy and less on the design. What Buzz and Hudson can design, I can put the guts together to make it work. And, yes, to answer your question, Buzz is great to work for, and I believe Hudson and I landed one hell of an opportunity here working for him. We have the freedom to be ourselves and develop things on our own, not just what’s given to us and told to make happen. Great place, Josh, and even greater opportunity,” Jasper replied.

“So are you two dating or anything or just work partners?” I asked. Hudson and Jasper looked at one another and chuckled.

“No, we’re not dating. The only thing we share is the love or our craft and currently an apartment,” Hudson finally replied. “Let’s just say we have different interests in men, however, my interest right now is mainly my job. The other can come later sometime when I have more time. Now Jasper, he’s a stud. He’s the one with the big dick so he gets a lot more attention than I ever did. He goes out more than me so I’m not sure what his status is other than popular,” Hudson chided. Jasper chuckled, shaking his head as did Buzz and me.

“He gives me more credit than what I’m worth. Yeh, I’ve been to the CNB on Saturday nights before and had some fun at times. Can’t say there is any one guy I’m into at the moment, but we all get horny as you very well know with the stable of studs you have in your organization,” Jasper replied, making me smile.

“Oh well, each of us is different. Just don’t get too horny and bend Buzz over a table and put it to him,” I chided. Buzz laughed. Hudson looked at him and smiled.

“We’ll try to take it easy on Buzz, Josh. He’s the greatest ever. He already has his stud. I mean Jordan is dreamy as hell. They have to be a great couple together,” Hudson replied.

“Oh, he has his moments,” Buzz chided. Hudson blew him off as if there could never be anything wrong with Jordan. I told Hudson and Jasper that both Buzz and Jordan were irreplaceable in our organization, and I hoped we felt the same about them in the coming months and years. They said they hoped to prove themselves also. I told them if they did, there would be great opportunities ahead for them to make it big. They liked the sound of that.

“I think you hired a couple of characters here, Buzz, but they seem like great guys to know and work with. I’m sure you have a lot of fun teasing each other while you work. Kind of like what all of us do at SE also. Just ask Buzz and Jordan,” I chided, making them smile. “I won’t take up any more of your time, but just wanted to meet you and welcome you to the group. Even though your company isn’t technically part of Stoney Enterprises, we treat you as if you are because of our close working relationship. You are our architects. There are no others unless Buzz hires them to assist. You work with our contractors such as Tod and Chad here in Uni and Woody in Key West. I guess we’ll get to know you better spending time together in Key West when we finally make it down there in the near future. As I was saying, consider yourselves part of SE for all the amenities we have to offer, such as free drinks and food at the CNB. I’ll get you guys cards to show you’re part of the family since no one really knows you yet. Oh, and we have a big swim party and steak fry with free beer and snacks every Sunday afternoon then the steak fry right afterwards you both are welcome to attend. I will tell you that it’s a skinny dipping party so if you’re shy, you might just want to come for the steak fry which starts about 6:00. I give our guys a short update on the company and what we’re involved with at that party also after dinner. You can come and go as you please. There is water volleyball, regular volleyball, basketball, swimming and all kinds of fun the guys all enjoy. Hey, Jasper, might be a great place to show off your big dick also and get a lot of attention,” I teased. He looked a little embarrassed.

Chapter 787 - E

“Ah, that’s just a myth that Hudson made up, Josh. Don’t pay him any attention,” Jasper replied, but Hudson put up his hands as if he was a fisherman showing how big the fish was he caught. Buzz and I laughed.

“Have you seen it, Buzz?” I teasingly asked. Buzz looked shocked.

“Me? No! Gawd no!” he replied shocked that I asked. I just laughed. I told him he might want to check it out. “Don’t think so. I’ll take Hudson’s word for it and leave it at that,” Buzz replied.

“See if you can get Buzz and Jordan to come to our weekly swim party some time as they don’t seem to make it,” I teased.

“Jordan and I are a little more shy than you younger guys. We’ll leave that kind of thing up to you all,” Buzz replied to me. Hudson said he was a pretty modest himself. I shook my head.

“Well, wait until we get you to the Pink Flamingo and the Phallic Palace in Key West. You better get over your shyness by then because you need to see it all and when you do, everyone else gets to see it all,” I chided, making Hudson cringe, but Jasper smile.

Jasper wanted to know the address for the Sunday afternoon party we had. I gave both of them the address for the house and told them we had a lot more amenities there they were welcome to use anytime. Jasper seemed very interested. I did tell them not all the guys that were in attendance were gay, as we had a lot of the basketball team living there for the summer helping us on the dormitory, and I wasn’t sure what orientation five of them were, but everyone was extremely friendly and helpful to one another. Both Hudson and Jasper said they were interested in meeting some of our other shareholders and friends.

I got bro-hugs from both the new boys and a big hug from Buzz. I told him I’d see him at lunch for our staff meeting. Both Hudson and Jasper were impressed that we thought of Buzz as one of us and had him attend our senior staff meeting daily. I put my arm around Buzz’s shoulders and told his two newbies Buzz was family as far as we were all concerned. That seemed to impress both boys. Buzz patted me on the back and thanked me again for coming by to meet his two new architects. I told him the pleasure was all mine and at least I learned that another member of our team had a large dick,” I chided. Jasper looked embarrassed.

“I swear it’s not that big, Josh. Hudson likes to embellish. He’s found something he can embarrass me with and he isn’t letting up,” Jasper replied. I told him I was sure he did.

I left Buzz and decided to check in with Cal briefly before running over to Lucky’s house to check on him and Rowen. Cal was there and gave me a big hug. “Anything new going on?” I asked.

“Gees, it’s about time you showed up again. I was starting to feel neglected,” he teased. I shook my head, telling him I knew better if he was still seeing Forest. That made him smile.

“Best days of my life lately. The eminent crisis is over and I have new love in my life. Things are much better these days. Still, we need to talk about Kenny, Josh. You said you might be able to hide him away for us. I really think that’s a good idea and the sooner the better. We’ve received some intel that the Cartel and the east coast syndicate are interested in eliminating our Kenny as he has way too much information that could lead us to bigger fish than what we have in custody at this time. I’m talking national and international. They could give a rat’s ass about what we do with W&S, their sons and distribution organization. I can’t tell you how much property we’ve seized in all of this. We have cars, vans, distribution centers, convenience stores, but most of all, at least a million dollars worth of drugs. They are more fearful that we won’t stop there and DEA and the Bureau will come after their main distribution hubs they cannot afford to lose. Kenny doesn’t seem to know where the drugs came from other than how they got to his distribution facility. W&S say they know the location of the hub they received drugs from and wanted to trade that information to help reduce their impending sentences. The DA said he’d take that into consideration if they told us where it was. They gave us an address, but there was nothing there. You should have seen the life fade out of them when they found out they really didn’t know. Anyway, for some reason, through the courier or whatever, our intel seems to think they think Kenny knows more than they’re comfortable for him to know. They think he’s holding off spilling his guts until he’s out of the hospital and we arrest him for his part in all of this,” Cal explained.

“I can get him to where no one else will find him as soon as I can get him well enough to travel. He’s still in the hospital for shit’s sake,” I told Cal. Cal scratched his head, then asked me how soon he thought Kenny might be released as he really wanted to get him out of town. I told him I would check again to see when he might be released.

“We parking him at Lucky’s until he can safely travel?” Cal asked. I smiled, telling him that was the plan as Lucky extended the invitation and Rowen was willing to take care of them both at Lucky’s. “Lucky back in sexual action yet?” Cal asked mischievously. I chuckled.

“And what if he is?” I had to ask. Cal chuckled, saying he had fond memories of the time Lucky and I fucked him in Lucky’s pickup truck while we were surveilling Kenny at Clay’s apartment. He said he really enjoyed both our cocks that night. I shook my head. “Aren’t you getting enough action from Forest?” I asked.

“Oh, yeh. No problems there. All the flip-flopping wears me out but damn do I cum hard. Hey, but my ass is available any time you want to tap it again,” he offered. I chuckled, telling him I had enough to keep me busy lately. He wanted details but I told him I didn’t kiss and tell. He just laughed.

“So are you happy now with Forest? He seems to make you happy, Cal,” I commented. Cal smiled.

“Actually, I’ve very happy, Josh. The last time I was this happy, I was with, well you know, my assignment. Damn, I wish I hadn’t fallen in love with him, but fuck, it happened and I can’t do anything about it. I never found anyone quite like him or one that at least made me happy, until Forest. I really wasn’t sure who I was anymore after he got arrested and went to prison. Then you rescued me and showed me exactly who I was. Now Forest is in my life to perpetuate that happiness and I still have you also to guide me. Life is so much better these days, believe me. I have a purpose other than chasing bad guys. I actually have a personal life again, not to mention a shit load of hot guys as friends to see naked every Sunday afternoon, which is just delicious in itself. Yes, I’m happy and I guess I have you to thank for most of it,” Cal replied. I had to hug him.

“Hey, I’m glad I could help. I could always see there was something there that said you were truly one of us, and now we both know you are. I’m happy for you, Cal,” I told him as I continued to hug him. He kissed me. It felt pretty good too.

“That’s for Forest and me. He loves you too, you know,” Cal told me. I had to chuckle, telling Cal, Forest had proved that to me a few times it seemed. “Oh, he still rants about that, Josh. He said he wasn’t sure about the first time, but when you gave him a massage, he just melted in your arms. He did tell me about Dave and how you helped him out with that situation also. You’re just so wonderful,” Cal told me, making me chuckle again.

“Well, both of you are special to me and always will be for everything we’ve gone through together. I need to get going, as I have a luncheon meeting here in a few minutes, but I will check on Kenny to see when we might be able to move him. I need to make some preparations on the other end to accommodate that move. There’s a few pieces that need to come together to complete the plan if this is to happen,” I told Cal. He said he knew I could figure it out. We had another hug, then parted as he patted my ass. I turned around and smiled at him.

I caught my office building senior staff as they were walking to the CNB for lunch and damn if Swain wasn’t there with Jordan again. Jake, Blake and Will were already there as we joined them. “Looks like Swain joined the staff already. Did you hire him away from Baxter, Jordan?” I teased.

“Not that I wouldn’t like to as God knows we could use the extra help, but we need him and Baxter to get us through this case if you really want to help Kenny,” Jordan replied. “We still have lots of video to go through for transcribing. We should finish up late this afternoon or this evening,” Jordan replied.

“He’s such a chatty bastard, Josh,” Swain chided. “I have a hard time keeping him focused. I have to keep reminding him about billable hours. That seems to get him going again. Baxter is a stickler for billable hours although I’ll cut you some slack taking out the personal time we talked,” Swain replied. I knew there was more than talk involved, more like intense sex is really what it was, but if he wasn’t billing us for that, I was okay with it, hoping maybe the two would get it out of their systems and get back to their normal lives.

Chapter 787 - F

Buzz told me again that Jasper and Hudson really appreciated me coming over and introducing myself, making them feel like they were part of the company. He said that meant a lot to both of them. I told him it was my pleasure also, and I was finally glad he got the help he needed. Buzz said he was more than glad, plus he couldn’t have ended up with greater guys than what he found. That didn’t surprise me.

I shared with the guys we had tentatively planned to go to Key West next week sometime, but I needed to check on a few things first and hoped to finalize plans later this week. I told Buzz to tell Woody we’d let him know later this week when we’d be there.

On my way over to Lucky’s after lunch, I called Rod and told him I was going to Key West next week and if he and Mary Ann wanted to go, that was fine, but I was only taking the two of them and none of the rest of his posse. He sounded disappointed, but said as long as he and Em were together, screw Lonnie and Wes. I chuckled, but told him I didn’t have room for all of them and we needed the help here anyway. He said he understood, and hoped that Mary Ann would also. I told him it was his job to make her understand. He said he’d take care of it. He wanted to know if he’d get to see Tyler when he was there. I told him I was sure he would. Rod said Mary Ann wasn’t as pissed with him these days since Wes was around to take care of Sue. I told him I was glad to hear that as I didn’t want any craziness while we were there. Rod said he thought all would be well. He said, if he could ditch Mary Ann, maybe Tyler could share some of his beach bunnies with him. I had to laugh, telling him Tyler was very busy these days with everything he was doing for me, so I wasn’t sure how much time he had to devote to beach bunnies. Rod laughed saying Tyler was perpetually horny so he knew he was working them in there somewhere. I had to chuckle at the thought.

I pulled up to Lucky’s house and noticed that his pickup truck was gone. I was hoping Rowen would be there also, but it appeared he wasn’t. I used my key to let myself in, shouting that it was me, as I opened the door so no one shot my head off.

“Well, it’s about time you showed up,” Lucky hollered at me. He was sitting on the couch in his boxers without a shirt on watching TV. Little miss homemaker had to go visit his new boyfriend at the hospital,” Lucky joked. I rolled my eyes.

“So, how’s life with you today? You ready to go back to work?” I teased.

“Hell yes. I’m bored,” he said as he patted the cushion on the couch next to him for me to come and sit.

“You were really tired out last night. I was worried about you when you left the CNB. I guess Rowen got you in bed okay,” I commented as I leaned over to give him a kiss.

“Oh, your kisses feel great, Josh. Yes, I was out almost as my head hit the pillow. Rowen must have undressed me as I woke up this morning naked in bed. Don’t know what else he did to me while I was out,” he joked. I chuckled. “You need to have a talk with that boy as I woke up with him beside me naked. His morning wood was pressed up against my ass and he had his arm over me with his hand on my morning wood. He was sound asleep. I had to pick his hand up and give it back to him,” Lucky explained, making me chuckle.

“Hey, was it good? Did he get you off?” I chided. Lucky rolled his eyes.

“I asked him what he was doing in bed with me naked. He says he always sleeps naked and thought I did too. I told him I did most of the time, but hadn’t lately being in the hospital and all. So he says, what’s the problem. I told him I thought he was going to sleep in the guest room. He tells me he’s keeping that nicely made up for when Kenny comes to stay and besides he wanted to be with me in case I needed anything. I told him I needed my boxers unless he had something else in mind. Then he asks what I might have in mind. I told him breakfast. So he gets up and fetches me my boxers first then helps me put them on all the while his long cock is sticking straight out in front of him. I’m not going to lie, Josh, that dick of his is mighty tempting, and I think he had half a mind this morning wanting to use it on me. Then he finally puts his cock away in his briefs then helps me out of bed, like I really need help with that anymore. We have breakfast then he asks if he can give me a shower this morning so he can go see Kenny after he gets me situated. I told him I thought I could handle my shower on my own now. Anyway, he goes in with me and turns on the water for me and takes my boxers off and watches me get in the shower. I told him I was fine and he could do whatever he needed to do. He sat on the toilet and just watched me as I took a shower. I don’t know, Josh, I think the boy is perving on me. I think he wanted to be naked in the shower with me to wash me like he did the day before. I really think he kind of liked that,” Lucky commented. I smiled. “What are you smiling about?” he asked, somewhat disturbed.

“Lucky, Rowen loves you and wants to make sure you’re well taken care of and happy. Would it have killed you if he gave you blowjob or even fucked you with his long dick for that matter? I think you mentioned several times you wouldn’t mind sitting on that big dick of his and enjoy the ride,” I reminded him. Lucky smiled at the thought.

“He wouldn’t do that, would he?” Lucky asked as if he didn’t believe it. “Nah, not Rowen. I will say it did feel kind of nice with someone with a dick in bed with me last night. And it did feel kind of hot with that flagpole of his up against my ass this morning when I woke up. I thought I was dreaming, like I was in bed with Marvin or better yet, you. Then when I saw Rowen, I just kind of felt like that was all wrong,” Lucky explained.

“Would it kill you to let him make you feel good sexually? I mean he really does love you and he’s prepared to do whatever it takes to make you happy, from what he’s told me. I think the love he has for you, makes him want to satisfy you anyway he can, and if that involves his body in some kind of sexual intimacy with you, then that makes him all the more happy to please you. Give him a little encouragement and just see what happens,” I suggested. Lucky gave me a strange look.

“Oh, Josh, I don’t know,” he said, thinking about it. I told him to tell Rowen he’d really like a blowjob and see if Rowen didn’t give him one. That seemed to interest Lucky. “But what is our relationship going to be like after that happens? I just don’t know. I love him as my closest friend, besides you maybe, and I don’t want to hurt that relationship. I have to think about that one.”

“Don’t think too hard as you’ll have Kenny here with you soon, so if you’re needing some sexual attention, you probably need to get on with it before Kenny shows up,” I suggested.

“I was kind of hoping you might help me out in that area,” he suggested winking at me.

 

[Thanatos]

This chapter was quite a thrill, as some clouds are gathering over Buzz and Jordan's relationship, while there's a storm ready to blow in Lucky's apartment now that Rowen is living there

Can't wait to see how these situations will solve

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

 

[highflyer99]

Ooo yes, you're giving us lots of interesting relationship situations, FT.

Jordan seems to have found his soulmate in Swain, and realised his relationship with Buzz is comfortable but not exciting. Buzz might be feeling some attraction towards Hudson, and Hudson told Will that Buzz was exactly his type. Rowen is spending a lot of time with Kenny, and kissing Kenny gives him a boner. But he slipped into Lucky's bed naked. Lucky has the hots for Cooper. Cooper seems to be attracted to Lucky as well, but is holding back on relationships at present.

And Rod might be going to Key West soon, and is looking forward to spending some time with Tyler. I'm thinking it's about time Tyler came out, and told his family he's gay, and this might present a good opportunity. It'd probably be nice if he told his brother before his cousin, just saying. Or maybe Tyler or Benji will accidentally reveal their relationship to Rod or to Em. That'd be entertaining.

So much to work through! Can't wait to see where you take all these story threads, FT.

Cheers, HF

 

[bs29697]

WOW!!!! Fantastic last couple of chapters FT.

As HF commented Jordan seems to have found a soulmate with Swain coming back into his life. Things have changed in both of their lives Jordan might not want the upheaval in his relationship with Buzz for a blast from the past with Swain.

I'm excited for the next installment.

Like my fellow bent bros, everything seems to be up in the air at the moment. It's anybody's guess as to who ends up with who. You threw a lot of relationship issues at us in a hurry. It seems like Rowen is becoming more infatuated with Kenny all the time. He got a boner kissing him? Something is brewing there. But yet, he slips into bed naked with Lucky also. The boy just needs some loving. Whatever he gets, it probably won't be as passionate as Josh gave him. Poor Rowen. Who is he and what is going to satisfy him and make him happy? Swain seems like a cool dude. He certainly didn't waste anytime trying to catch up to what he once had with Jordan. Jordan can't seem to resist his passion either. Poor Buzz. But as HF pointed out, Buzz seems to be crushing on Hudson so who knows. Is there room in their house for two live-in couples? Instead of the threesome Swain and Jordan were used to, could there possibly be a foursome? Could this get any crazier?

So you left us with a ton of shit up in the air. Can't wait for the next chapter to see if we get any further clarification on where all this is going. Love it to death. Write on, buddy. BC

 

[funtimes]

Hey guys, I finished up another chapter today so will post it tonight. Sorry to introduce too many characters to you in such a short period, but you'll soon see why as we progress. There are a lot of relationships up in the air at the moment, but they're headed in some kind of direction, maybe not that way we think they might, but they're moving ahead. There are some new revelations in this next chapter to keep you interested anyway. I hope you enjoy it. I'm already deep into the next one after the one posted tonight so I hope to have that to you mid-week if all goes well. Good luck visualizing the eclipse if you're in an area where it passes by and the weather is good enough to see it. Have a great week, guys. Huggs, FT
