Chapters 17-25

Chapter 17
A Tangled Web

My mind continued to spin for the rest of the day, as I questioned if I was doing the right thing by messing around with the boys, especially now that Jon had been included in the process. Although I'd merely done it with him one time, I wondered if I was doing these things for the boys, or purely for my own gratification?

Those thoughts haunted my dreams as well, without leading to any answers. I was caught between telling the boys we couldn't do this any longer, and my concern that pushing them away might destroy any relationship we had that wasn't sexual. I also considered that I might be addicted to having a sexual relationship with each of them, especially since they'd also let me know that they wanted me to fuck them eventually as well.

I spent Thursday holed up in my apartment, spending some of the time going over my students' assignments again, but the rest of the time was spent continuing my internal debate. I was also wondering if some or all of the boys would show up again today, even though it wasn't something we'd agreed on. Since Jon had said he wanted to do those things again, would he and Tucker just show up like they had the previous day, or would they wait until I told them I was willing to do those things with them again?

No one had showed up by lunchtime, so I prepared something to eat, but I kept one ear open for a knock on the door. I wanted to be ready to race over and open it, to prevent my neighbors from seeing them. No matter what I did for the rest of the day, I kept listening for a knock on the door, but it never came. I'm not sure if I was relieved or disappointed, but I was fairly certain I'd see the boys the following afternoon, after I got back from working out at the Y.

My dreams were filled with visions where I was doing a variety of things with the boys, and this included Jon. Since I hadn't enjoyed a release when the boys dropped by on Wednesday, I had a nocturnal emission. I was somewhat mortified when I awoke, since it was my dreams about the boys that had caused it, and this included images of me fucking them. I quickly hopped out of bed, jumped in the shower, and cleaned up. After I finished taking care of that problem, I stripped the bed, tossed the soiled sheets in the washing machine, and took out clean sheets to make the bed again. Once all of that had been taken care of, I went out to fix something to eat.

After I'd finished breakfast, I packed my gym bag, and headed to the Y. I swam laps like a maniac, hoping the exertion would dull my sexual desires, at least temporarily. I was concerned that my sexual fantasies about the boys were taking control of my life, and I knew acting on them could result in my ruination if I wasn't careful.

After totally exhausting my body, I showered, changed, and headed back to my apartment. I barely had enough strength left to fix a quick snack, but the food and a couple of glasses of Gatorade helped to perk me up enough that I could function again. I then sprawled out on the sofa briefly, until there was a knock on the door. I got up and went over to answer it, and discovered the boys waiting on the other side. I considered sending them away, but they quickly filed past me. They all greeted me on the way by, and as soon as the door was closed, Gary spoke.

"Let's hurry up and get started. I really need this today, since you weren't around to do anything last weekend."

The other three agreed, but I wasn't so sure we should continue doing this. They had already started down the hallway on their way to my bedroom, when I thought I heard another barely audible knock on the door. I wasn't sure if someone else was there, or if the noise had been caused by something else, but I went over to see if anyone was there. When I opened the door again, I discovered Jon standing on the other side.

I wasn't sure if I should let him in, especially since the other boys were here, but I didn't want anyone to see me talking to him in the doorway, so I let him inside. "Jon, what are you doing here?"

"I saw Tucker and the other boys coming here, so I thought I'd see what you guys were doing."

"So you just happened to be nearby and saw them?"

"No, I was riding my bike over to Tucker's house to see if he wanted to spend some time together, and I saw him riding his bike in the other direction. I decided to follow him to see where he was goin', and then I saw him meet up with the other guys. They left their bikes where me and Tucker left our bikes when we came here to see you the other day, so I followed them up the bank. They didn't see me, but I saw them knock on your door and you let them in, so where are they?"

I was trying to decide how I wanted to answer his question and how much I was going to tell him, when I heard Gary behind me. "Come on, Mr. Roberson. Let's get started."

When I looked over my shoulder, Gary was just emerging from the hallway, totally naked. He froze like a deer caught in the headlights when he saw Jon, but since they had seen each other naked before, he didn't bother to cover his junk.

"Are you doin' stuff with them?" Jon asked as he looked at Gary. Jon's mouth then hung slightly open in amazement as he awaited my answer.

Once again, I wasn't sure what I was going to tell him. "Uh... well... I guess..." I stammered, but I never got to finish.

"What the heck is takin' you guys so long?" It was Will's voice this time, and when I turned to look in that direction, the three other boys emerged from the hallway, also completely naked.

"You are," Jon answered for me. "So can I stay and do it with you too?"

"Jon, I guess it wouldn't make much sense for me to try to deny it now, but these boys have been doing things that I don't think you're quite ready for yet."

Jon looked at me and then at Tucker before he spoke. "So you were already doing stuff with Mr. Roberson when you brought me here?" he asked Tucker.

"Um... yeah. But we weren't sposed to tell nobody about it. That's why I thought Mr. Roberson would let us fool around here, but I couldn't tell you about the other stuff."

"So you and Jon came here to do stuff with Mr. Roberson before?" Nolan followed, as he looked at Tucker and then Jon.

"Yeah, I'd never done nothin' before, so Mr. Roberson showed me some different stuff. I just didn't know Tucker was already doin' it with him."

"Since he's here and you've already done things with him," Will began, "you might as well let him join us. Come on, Jon, and you can get undressed in the bedroom, cuz we've wasted too much time already. I really need to cum."

I guess the decision had been made for me, because the naked boys turned and headed back to the bedroom, with Jon following behind. Like an obedient puppy-dog, I followed them too, trying to decide how much I was going to let Jon get involved. However, that decision ended up being made for me as well.

"Jon, you can watch what Mr. Roberson does to us first, cuz it's a lot different than what we did with him," Tucker began as Jon was taking off his clothes. "Mr. Roberson, if Jon wants to try it, maybe you can use the littlest dildo on him, but I want you to use the blue one on me."

As I looked over at Jon, I could see he was totally confused, but it seemed that Tucker had noticed that as well. "Mr. Roberson, why don't you get those out and show them to Jon, so he knows what we're talkin' 'bout?"

Without really thinking about it, I followed his suggestion and went over to my nightstand to get the dildos, condoms, and lube. I set it all down on the bed and Jon's mouth dropped open.

"You got plastic dickies, and that one's really big," he said as he pointed on the largest.

"Start saying dicks, not dickies," Will scolded. "If you're old enough to do this stuff with us, then you got to stop talkin' like a little kid."

Jon was startled by the rebuke, but he seemed to understand. "Ok, I won't say dickies no more."

"Do it to me first, so Jon can watch," Tucker urged, and since I didn't have a definite plan in mind, I went along with his suggestion.

"Ok, you three start working on Tucker, and I'll explain to Jon what you're doing. After you've done those things for a while, then I'll use the blue dildo on him." After saying that, I turned to address Jon. "Those things you called plastic dicks are really called dildos."

"Ok," was all he replied.

Jon then watched in awe as Tucker laid down on the mattress and Nolan started kissing him, while the other two worked on his nipples."

"What are they doing to him?" Jon asked as he turned toward me.

"Nolan's obviously kissing him, while the other two are working on his nipples. There are other places on your body that can give you pleasurable feelings, kind of like when I rubbed your penis, and your nipples are just two more of those places." When I glanced down, Jon's penis was as hard as granite and jutting out from his body as he watched what was going on. "Let me do it to you, so you'll know what I mean."

I flicked out my tongue and began toying with his nipples, before I began sucking on them as well. Since Jon was standing up, he began to squirm around. "It tickles," he giggled.

"Do you want me to stop?"

"No, it feels good too."

After working on one nipple, I moved over and did the same to the other side. By the time I stopped, I knew Tucker was ready for me to take over and work on him next. After getting the dildo ready, I lifted Tucker's legs and started to rim him.

"Why's Mr. Roberson lickin' Tucker's bottom?" he asked the other boys.

"It's called rimming, and it feels really good," Will replied. "You're gonna like it when he does it to you too."

I'm not sure if Jon agreed with him at this point, but after doing that to Tucker for another couple of minutes, I raised up, placed the dildo at Tucker's backdoor, and began to push.

"Why are you stickin' that in there now?" Jon asked in disbelief.

"Remember how I told you that a man could do something similar to a woman?" Jon nodded. "Well, when two boys or men do something like that with each other, they stick their penis in the other guy's butt. This helps get them ready to do that."

"So you guys have put your dicks in each other's bottom?"

"Some of us have," Gary confirmed. "Tucker hasn't had anyone do it to him yet, because he had to be able to take this dildo first, cuz it's about the same size as our dicks."

"My dick's not as big as yours, so could I do it to him now?"

"You probably could," Nolan answered, "but you need to learn about other things first."

Since I was working on Tucker, I felt I needed him to clarify what he wanted next. "Do you want me to suck you off while I'm doing this, or do you want to wait and fuck each other today?"

"Don't suck us off this time, and then we'll fuck each other so Jon can see," Will replied.

Since I'd been working on Tucker the entire time with the dildo, I removed it from his butt and got the next one ready for the other three. I wasn't sure who was going next from that group, but I was certain they'd soon let me know.

"Are you gonna use that one of Tucker next?" Jon asked, his eye's wide.

"No, he's gonna use it on me," Nolan answered, so now I knew who was going next.

"Why aren't you using the same one Tucker did?"

"Cuz this one will get me ready so Mr. Roberson can fuck me soon."

"You're really going to do that to him?" Jon asked as he swiveled toward me.

"That's what he and the others want, so as soon as they can handle this dildo fairly easily, then I'll do what they want."

Over the next half hour, I worked the largest dildo into the other three boys. At the same time I was doing that to one of them, the other three took turns either kissing him or working on his nipples. I kept glancing over at Jon and his little penis was still just as rigid as before, and it had been pointing at me the entire time.

"Wow! I can't believe you were able to get that in each of their bottoms, but what's the thing you put over it each time?"

"Those are condoms, and they're to keep the dildo clean when I use it on the next boy. I put this stuff on it to make it slippery, so it will go in easier."

"Jon, do you want Mr. Roberson to do it to you with this one?" Tucker asked as he held up the smallest dildo.

"Will it hurt?"

"Maybe a little at first, but then you'll like having him do it to you," Tucker replied.

Jon thought about it for a minute while I was finishing up with Will, because he went last this time. As I was removing the dildo from Will's backside, Jon finally answered. "Ok, I guess I'll try it then, since all of you have had him put even bigger ones in you."

As Jon was taking his place on the mattress, I prepared the smallest dildo. Before I used it on him, though, I lifted his legs and rimmed him first. "That tickles too, but I like it," he said in between giggles.

After doing it to him for a couple of minutes, I lubed up my finger and slid it up his chute next. He started to squirm a little and then attempted to drag his body away from me, but then Tucker got by his head to stop him from doing that.

"Just relax. Mr. Roberson won't hurt you. Push out with your butt muscles, like you were taking a poop, and it will go in easier," he urged.

A few seconds later, Jon was following Tucker's instructions and my finger slipped inside. "I did it," he squealed, seemingly proud of himself.

"Yes, you did," I confirmed. "That wasn't so bad, was it?"

"Nah, I guess I was just a little scared at first."

After sliding my finger back and forth for a brief time, I was ready to ask my next question. "Are you ready to try this now?" I asked as I held up the smallest dildo.

"Yeah. Go ahead and put that in me."

As I was getting it ready to use it on him, Tucker starting kissing Jon, and Nolan and Gary started working on his nipples. "Hey, what am I gonna do?" Will grumbled.

"Just switch with one of the other boys after a while," I suggested. "You can all take turns."

That seemed to calm him down, so I lifted Jon's legs and put the dildo at his opening. He was so wrapped up in kissing Tucker and what the other boys were doing to him that he was really relaxed and the dildo went in with only a limited amount of pressure. Once it had penetrated his sphincter, I eased it forward until it was completely inside his body. After giving him a little time to adjust, I began to slide it back and forth, while the boys continued to switch places. Slowly, Jon was getting used to having the dildo in his butt and enjoying all the attention we were giving him.

When I finally took it out again, the boys stopped working on him too. At that point, Jon looked up at me and grinned. "That was fun. I liked doin' that a lot."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"Are we gonna fuck each other now?" Gary wanted to know.

"You four can pair up and do that if you want. It will let Jon see what you're doing."

After putting on a condom and lubing it and their partner up, Gary got ready to fuck Nolan, while Tucker prepared to do the same with Will. "How come they put those things on their dicks?" Jon asked.

"You wear them when you're doing this so you don't catch a disease. If someone is doing these things with more than one other person, it's possible that they can pick up a disease and pass it on to you."

"Oh!" Jon responded, but I wasn't sure if he really understood. It was sufficient for now, though.

Jon was in awe as he watched what the other boys were doing, and I don't think he'd ever lost his erection, since he'd first watched the boys working on Tucker shortly after we'd started. He was even more fascinated when the boys finished and Gary and Tucker removed the condoms from their penises.

"I can see what you were tellin' me about before," Jon stated as he looked at the contents of the two condoms. I asked both boys to bring them over so Jon could look inside. "Tucker's looks like water, but Gary's looks more like milk."

"Yes, Tucker's is basically only seminal fluid produced by his prostate, while Gary's is white because of the sperm cells that his testicles produced."

Once again, I wasn't sure if he truly understood my explanation, but he nodded his head as Nolan and Will were getting ready to take their turn. Before that happened, however, Tucker surprised me with his request. "Can Jon do it to me?"

"I doubt the condom will fit on his penis. It would be way too big."

"We don't need one, but I want someone to do it to me too."

"Jon, do you want to try doing it to Tucker?"

Jon's head began to nod up and down, almost as if he was struggling to hold his head up. "Yeah," he eventually wheezed in reply.

"Let me get these two started first," I told the others, "and then Nolan and Will can take their turn too."

Luckily, I have a queen size bed, so we were able to do it across the bed and there was enough room for us all to do it at the same time. "Jon, just line your penis up with Tucker's butt hole and then push it inside," I urged. Since Tucker was used to having a dildo in there, Jon slipped in easily.

"Ok, just slide back and forth now, but not so far that your penis comes out." As soon as he got the hang of it, Nolan did the same to Gary, while Will slid his penis into me. Then, the three jockey's rode their mounts toward the finish line.

As soon as all three had enjoyed their orgasm, although I think Jon might have had a couple of dry orgasms, I had them clean up. I thought they were going to leave at that point, but Gary wasn't ready to take off quite yet. "Ok, Mr. Roberson, it's our turn to take care of you now, since you haven't cum yet."

"I'm workin' on his dick first, so I can rim him too," Will stated emphatically.

No one argued with him, so the boys all got into position, while Jon looked on. The other four continued changing places as they worked on me, and when it was Will's turn to kiss me, he turned to Jon and spoke. "Do you want to take my place and kiss Mr. Roberson?"

"Yeah, I'll do that," he squealed. "Thanks for lettin' me take your place."

"It's only fair that you get a turn doin' somethin' too," Will responded.

Jon began to kiss me as the boys were finishing up, and he'd obviously gotten the hang of it after doing it with the other boys. I was getting a kick out of his youthful exuberance as our tongues dueled, and I was focusing so much on him that I was ready to blow before I realized it. I'm not even sure who took my load, because Jon didn't want to stop kissing me long enough so I could glance down, but it was still very enjoyable and took care of my needs too.

We sat around naked and chatted for a while before they left. "That was fun," Jon stated, still giddy from everything he'd done. "Do you do this a lot?"

"We usually come over here on Saturday afternoon, and then again after we swim together at the Y on Sunday," Nolan answered. "We're doing it a day earlier this week because we didn't think the Y would be open on Sunday."

"So can I do this with you from now on?"

"You've got to keep it a secret, and you can't talk about any of this in between, not even with each other," I told him. "And you can only do this with us if you can get away from home long enough so your parents won't ask where you were."

"I can do that. I'll just tell them I'm spendin' time with Tucker. I won't be telling them a lie, cuz he'll be here too."

"That's true, but we'll have to stop if there are any problems. We have to be really careful, because I could end up in prison if anyone found out what we were doing."

"We'll keep it a secret then," Jon promised.

"Hey, I just had an idea, Mr. Roberson. Can we come over and spend New Year's Eve with you?" Nolan asked. "Then we can do this then too."

"I'm not sure that's such a good idea."

"Do you got other plans?" Gary followed.

"No, but how will you explain what you're doing so your parents won't get suspicious?"

"We'll think of somethin'," Will answered. "And if we're not gonna be home, then our parents can do somethin' too."

"Not all of you are an only child, so it might not work out that way," i countered.

"I know how we'll do this," Nolan nearly shouted. "I'll call Nigel and Rory when I get home to see if they'll cover for us. If they will, then we'll tell our parents we're gonna ride home with them after we finish swimming and spend the night there."

"But I don't have room for all of you to stay here," I protested. "I only have one bed."

"We'll bring our sleeping bags to the Y with us, and then we can sleep in here on the floor," Nolan offered. "Or you can sleep with one or two of us in your bed, and somebody else can sleep on the sofa, and the other two can sleep on the floor. We'll work something out."

"And we can ask our parents to give us some money so we can chip in to pay for the food and drinks," Gary added. "That way you won't have to pay for everything."

"I think it's a great idea," Will chimed in.

"We do too," Tucker and Jon agreed.

"I'm not sure about this, but if Nigel and Rory will cover for you, then I'll consider it, but you'll have to find out from them first. Wait, how will you get home the next day, since Nolan's mom will be dropping you off at the Y to swim? I can't very well drive you back the next day."

"I could always tell her that Nigel and Rory's parents are gonna drop us off at the Y and she can pick us up after I call her," Nolan suggested.

"That might raise a few eyebrows. If Nigel and Rory's parents are going to let you stay over, then they should also be willing to drop you off at your houses afterward."

"What if we tell our parents we're gonna ride our bikes to meet them somewhere, and then we can leave our bikes where we normally do when we come here," Nolan suggested next. "Then we can ride with you to the Y and then back here afterward. That way, we can just ride our bikes home the next day."

"Why wouldn't they just pick you up at your homes instead?"

"We'll tell our parents we're doing it cuz they don't know where all of us live," Gary offered.

"That would make a little more sense, but where would you tell your parents you're meeting them?"

"We'll tell them we're meeting them at the school and we're lockin' our bikes up there," Nolan stated.

"If you're going to do that, then I'll just pick you up at the school instead, and then drive you to the Y. You can ride back here with me afterward, and I'll drive you back to the school the following day to get your bikes."

"Yeah, let's do that," Will confirmed.

"I'll call you after I talk to Nigel and Rory," Nolan said next.

"Ok. I don't plan on going anywhere today."

Once again I was beginning to wonder if this was a wise move on my part, but somehow I'd already agreed to it. As the boys were getting dressed and preparing to leave, I got dressed too. And then I did a quick scan of the outside before I sent them on their way.

After I'd received a call from Nolan a couple of hours later, I started making plans for what I'd have to pick up at the store on the way home after swimming the next day. I could always order pizza and have it delivered, so the boys would have something to eat after we finished swimming, but I'd need snacks for later too. I'd also have to have drinks to tide them over for the rest of the night, and then I'd need something I could fix them for breakfast before they went home.

I began making my grocery list so I wouldn't forget anything, and I'd ask the boys for some suggestions when we were at the Y. I'd then add those things to my list or alter it accordingly before I went to the store. This was going to be a tricky venture, so I hoped we could pull it off without anyone else finding out about what we were up to.

Chapter 18
Ringing In the New Year

I spent Saturday morning straightening up the apartment and moving some of the furniture around to make sure there would be plenty of room for the boys to sleep on the floor later. After having a late breakfast, I drove over to the school to pick them up and then head over to the Y.

"Did any of you have a problem convincing your parents to let you do this?" I asked after they'd raced over to my car.

"I had a little bit, but Jon had more," Tucker answered as I led them to the trunk to store their gear. "My mom didn't want me to go at first, cuz she didn't know Nigel and Rory like Gary and Nolan's parents did. I had to convince her we'd become friends after we started swimmin' at the Y together on Sunday. Jon's mom called my mom to make sure I was going too, cuz she wasn't gonna let him go unless I went."

"But we're good now and they're all happy," Jon added.

"And I bet all of our parents are gonna go out now, cuz they don't have to worry about leavin' us home alone," Will added. "I'm not sure if they think we're gonna get hurt or if we'll do something wrong, but they don't like leavin' us home by ourselves."

"Now that we're here, we're gonna have fun and lots of sex with each other," Gary followed while pumping his fist in the air.

"Ok, let's get in the car so we can go swimming," I urged after placing the final sleeping bag in the trunk and closing it.

I'm not sure how it was decided, but Gary sat in the front passenger seat and the other four got in back, with Jon sitting on Tucker's lap. Hey, what else could they do, since I only had a regular sedan.

When we got to the Y, Nigel and Rory were waiting for us. After we walked back to the locker room and started to undress, Nigel decided to fill us in about something. "My parents are going out tonight, so only me and Rory will be there if your parents call."

"I doubt that will happen, cuz I didn't give any of them your phone number," Nolan replied.

"Ok, that's good to know," Nigel agreed. "So what are you really gonna do?"

Nolan looked at me before he answered, and then he did so in a whisper. "We're gonna be staying someplace that our parents wouldn't approve of."

Nigel and Rory's faces lit up. "So are you gonna be doing anything naughty?"

"Maybe."

"And you don't care if your teacher overhears you tellin' me this?"

"Nah, we already told him, so he knows. That's why he drove us here today, instead of my mom, cuz I told her we would be ridin' to your house with you after we was done."

"You're lucky he's willing to help you out," Rory stated, as he looked up and gave me a shy grin.

"Yeah, he's a really good guy," Nolan responded.

By this time we all had our swimsuits on, so we went out to the pool. Even though we saw a couple kids leaving the locker room when we first got there, and only one coming in before we left there, we soon discovered the pool was quite crowded. Seeing all of the schools were on vacation and the weather wasn't very nice today, it seemed that quite a few others had the same idea we did and headed to the Y to swim instead.

Seeing there were so many people there, it limited what we could do, but we found other things to do after we ran into some other kids we knew. We spent some time talking to them, both in and out of the water, and had to duck their questions about what we were doing there together. The boys and I pretended that we'd just run into each other when we got here, like we'd just run into them, so I hoped no one would notice us leaving together later. If they did, I could just say I offered to give them a ride home to save their parents from having to make the trip to pick them up.

We stayed a little longer than usual and didn't leave until nearly 3:00, but that was mainly due to two factors. First, we couldn't swim as much as we liked with so many other people there, which meant we weren't nearly as tired, but we also spent a great deal of time chatting with the others too. When we were finally ready to leave, we went back to the locker room to shower and change. I noticed some kids were in the shower still in their trunks, while others were merely toweling off and then putting their clothes on over their swimsuits. We stripped down as we normally did and hit the shower. A few other brave souls got undressed and did the same thing while we were in there, so we got to see a few other naked boys before we left.

After we'd dried off and got dressed again, we said goodbye to Nigel and Rory as they walked to the main entrance with us to wait for their ride. I felt they wouldn't have to wait very long, though, because they had called home to tell their parents they were ready before we got in the shower. Since I felt their parents would be showing up soon, we said goodbye to them again and left.

Seeing I hadn't originally planned on having the boys with me when I went to the grocery store, I decided it would be best to take them in with me. I still had my list so I wouldn't forget to pick up something we'd need later, but this way the boys could help me select items that they would like. More than a few people did a double-take as they watched the boys following me up and down the aisles, so I wasn't sure if they thought the boys were my sons, but no one said anything to us. After we checked out, we loaded our purchases in the trunk and hopped into the car, finally ready to go to my apartment.

As I was driving to the very rear of the complex, I suddenly realized something. There was nothing I could do to avoid being seen with the boys this time, if anyone else happened to be around when we got there, and it was too late to worry about it now. I just had to hope everyone else was inside when we got there.

After I pulled into a parking space, we all got out and I opened the trunk. The boys quickly grabbed their belongings, and then they helped me carry the other items inside too. As soon as I'd closed the apartment door behind us, I had them set the bags from the grocery store on the kitchen counter, and then I asked them to put the drinks in the refrigerator to get cold. Once that had been taken care of, I took our towels and swimsuits to the laundry room and threw them in the dryer so they wouldn't get moldy or mildewed due to being put away damp. After I'd inserted the appropriate coins into the slot and got the dryer going, I went back to my apartment.

"So what shall we do first?" I asked when I returned.

"Why don't you suck us off before we eat, and then we can fuck each other later," Gary suggested.

"Yeah, let's do that, and here's the money my parents gave me to cover what I eat," Nolan added. That jogged the other boys into doing the same thing, so I soon had a fistful of bills.

"I'll use this to pay for the pizzas, so tell me the kind of pizza you like and I'll call and place the order."

I dialed the local pizzeria, placed our order, and told them when I wanted the pizzas delivered. I left enough time in between to do what the boys wanted first, so we wouldn't be opening the door when any of them were running around in their birthday suits. When I finished placing the order, the boys dragged me back to the bedroom to get started. I watched them get undressed, but I kept my clothes on, in case someone else came to the door. Once they were all laying across the mattress, I looked at the row of flaccid penises in front of me and the word 'smorgasbord' popped into my mind.

"So you just want me to suck you off now?"

"Why don't you rim us first, and then you can suck us off," Gary suggested, and the other boys quickly chimed in their agreement.

"Ok, then who's going first?"

"Start at the end with Jon, and then just do us in the order we're laying on the bed," Will offered.

Seeing there were no objections, that's exactly what I did. I lifted Jon's legs and attacked his backside first, and after doing that for a couple of minutes, I worked my way up his perineum and toyed with his scrotum next. When I'd done that for a short time, I licked the surface of his penis, took it in my mouth, and sucked him off until I felt his body spasm from his dry orgasm. Once he was taken care of, I worked my way to the next one, and then the one after that, until the rest of them had all cum in my mouth. After I gave them time to recuperate, I told them to get dressed.

"Can't we just stay like this?" Tucker wanted to know.

"I suppose you could, but then you'll have to stay back here until the pizza's delivered. I'll call you when you can come out, but first I need to go check on the dryer and see if I need to add some more money to it. If everything is already dry, I'll just carry it back here so you can put it away."

They seemed fine with this, so I ran over to the laundry room. Our things were still damp, so I put some more coins in the slot and started the dryer again. Then, I went back to the apartment to wait for the pizza to be delivered. I'd ordered five large pizzas, because I knew how much boys this age could eat, but there should also be some left over for snacks later, if they got hungry again after having sex. I'd ordered one that was cheese only, two with pepperoni, and two more with sausage, so they could take whatever they wanted. When the pizza guy showed up, he handed me the boxes and I carried them to the table to set them down. When I took the money back to pay him, I noticed he was looking around.

"The others will be here shortly. I'm not eating them all by myself."

He laughed, thanked me for the tip, and then left. I called the boys as soon as he was gone. "Come get a plate and a glass. Take what you want, pour yourself something to drink, and then you can either sit down at the table or take your food into the living room, just don't spill or drop anything."

"Can we turn on the TV?" Jon asked.

"Sure, I don't have a problem with that."

"Can we open some of the bags of stuff we bought too, so we can have them with our pizza?"

"Of course. I bought those things for you to eat, and I didn't put any time limits on them saying when they'd be available."

Once we had our food, everyone went to the living room to see what was on TV. They let me sit on the sofa, which left room for two of them, and then the others carried the chairs from the table into the living room to sit on.

"I think TNT is having a Harry Potter marathon," Tucker announced. "Do you guys want to watch that?" The others quickly agreed that would be fine. "I'm not sure which movie will be on now, cuz it started at noon, but I'm sure any of those movies will be ok."

It turned out that 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' was just starting, so we watched it while we chowed down. We ended up watching 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' too, and then the boys were ready to do something else.

"Let's go back to your bedroom and fuck each other now," Will stated, "and then we'll come out here again to celebrate the New Year. We can watch the ball drop on TV."

"I thought we were gonna watch the balls drop in the bedroom," Gary quipped, which caused the others to giggle or groan.

"Hey, if that's what you boys want to do, it's fine with me," I agreed.

"And this time you can let Tucker and Jon fuck each other," Will added. "That way you can fuck me after I fuck you."

"Whoa, I'm not sure you're ready for that yet."

"Yes, I am. You've used the biggest dildo on me a few times now, so I know I can do it. We can wait until the others are done so they can watch you fuck me too, and then they'll be able to decide if they want you to do it to them next time."

"How about you two?" I asked Tucker and Jon. "Do you want to do It with each other today?"

"Yeah, it's ok with me," Tucker replied.

"Is Tucker's dick bigger than that thing you put in me yesterday?" Jon wondered.

"No, they're about the same size."

"Ok, I'll do it then."

I was in a mild state of shock for a couple of reasons. First of all, I didn't think Jon would be quite this willing to try it so soon, and second, I had no idea Will would suggest that I do this to him already. I was thinking maybe in another month or two, but he seemed eager to try it now. Of course, I won't hesitate to stop if it's too much for him, but I was willing to give it a try, as long as it was his decision.

As we got ready for round one, it appeared Jon would do it to Tucker first, while Nolan fucked Gary, and Will did it to me. I kept glancing over at Jon, and I swear he had multiple orgasms again, and then after Will and Nolan had filled their condoms with their creamy loads, the other two pairs got ready to switch.

Since Will wanted us to wait until the others finished, I decided to keep an eye on Jon, seeing this was the first time he'd ever been fucked. I thought maybe I could help him relax, so I slid my head under his midsection and sucked on his penis while Tucker was filling his butt. I think Jon was surprised when he felt my mouth wrap around his penis as I began slurping on it, but it obviously made him relax a little more, because when I looked up I saw Tucker's penis slide into his butt. Almost as soon as Tucker's pubis touched Jon's backside, he started his thrusting movements and focused on enjoying his own release.

I could hear Jon moaning and sighing, but I wasn't sure if it was due to what Tucker was doing or because I was sucking his dick. It was probably a combination of both, but he seemed to be enjoying it, so I stopped worrying. I was convinced this probably wasn't what Jon had in mind when he first asked Tucker if he thought there were any gays in the drama club, or when they agreed to fool around with each other. As long as he wasn't complaining, though, neither would I.

When Gary and Tucker had filled their condoms with a fresh load of boy spunk, we waited for them to recover, and then I got ready to fuck Will. I still wasn't sure about doing this, but Will was insistent, so I relented. I just needed a little help to get ready.

"Will, why don't you suck my penis and help me get an erection."

"Sure, I can do that."

As soon as I was hard, I slipped on a condom, and added some lube. However, I took some time to make sure he was stretched fully first, because I didn't want to hurt him. "Are you sure you're ready and still want to do this?" I asked to give him another chance to back out.

"Damn right. I've been wanting you to fuck me ever since we first started comin' over here."

Seeing he was so eager to do this, I had him get on his hands and knees in front of me, and then I lined my penis up with his winking hole. I was convinced his rectum was doing this due to some slight nerves, or possibly because he was pushing out with his butt muscles and then relaxing. I swear I heard him whimper when my penis touched his hole, and I hadn't even added any pressure yet to start pushing my way in. I felt his reaction was merely caused by his desire to do this, so I prepared to grant his wish.

Slowly, I shifted my body weight forward and added enough pressure to force open the stubborn guardian. Will must have also pushed out at that precise moment, because the head of my penis suddenly popped inside. I heard him grunt, so I felt I'd better ask how he was doing.

"Did that hurt? Are you alright?"

"Yeah, it wasn't bad at all. Keep going."

Since he seemed to be fine with it, I added a little more pressure and began inching my way into this bowels. I didn't stop until I felt my hips come into contact with his butt cheeks, and after giving him some time to adjust, I began sliding in and out, in a slow, steady rhythm.

"I can't believe you got it in him," Jon confessed, truly amazed. "Your dick is way bigger than any of ours."

I took a lot longer than any of the boys before I ejaculated, and Will was really getting into it too. He was thrusting back to meet my forward movements and was moaning quite loudly. In fact, the noises he was making almost began to resemble the sound track from a porno flick. I wasn't ready to finish up yet when I suddenly felt his body shudder. I assumed it meant he'd just had another orgasm, possibly caused by my penis brushing against his prostate, and I was glad he'd just gotten off a few minutes before. He still might have had a small release, but I doubted it would be much, seeing he'd just discarded the load he'd dumped into the condom while fucking me.

When he began having his orgasm, his butt muscles clamped down on my penis, and as that happened, it hastened my orgasm too, so I was soon making my own deposit into the tip of the condom. It had been quite a while since I'd had anal intercourse with anyone, so this was quite a rush for me as well, and I held on to Will's hips until I was ready to pull out of him.

Almost as soon as that happened, Will spun around to face me. "That was fuckin' incredible. I'm sorry if I made a mess on your sheets, cuz you caused me to cum a little again. You were doin' somethin' inside me that made my whole body tingle, and that's why I cummed again."

"Yes, I noticed. As I mentioned before, I think it was caused by my penis rubbing against your prostate and that was what you were feeling."

"I don't know what it was, but I definitely want you to do that to me again."

"We do too," Nolan and Gary chimed in.

"So you're not sore now?" I asked Will as I looked at his face.

"No, I feel incredible."

I wasn't expecting that response, so I had to stop and think about it. After a few seconds, I finally came to my senses and asked the boys a question. "So are you guys going to get dressed now?"

"Nah, we might do something else later, so we'll just stay like this," Gary answered first, and then the others merely nodded their heads in agreement, so I turned up the heat slightly.

"Then I suggest you go to the bathroom and grab some washcloths to wipe the lube off your butts so you don't smear it on the furniture. While you're doing that, I'm going to get dressed, because I need to go get our swimsuits and towels out of the dryer."

"Why don't you just go like you are? I don't think anyone else would mind," Nolan teased.

"Yeah, right. And then you'd probably lock me out of the apartment to see what I'd do next."

"Nah, we wouldn't do that," Will responded. "At least I wouldn't." I think this meant he had his doubts about Nolan and Gary.

"Just the same, I'm getting dressed."

Shortly after I'd put my clothes on, I ran over to the laundry room, grabbed our things out of the dryer, and carried them back to the apartment. I tossed everything on the sofa and then spoke. "Take care of your stuff and put it into whatever you have to carry it in, so you don't leave anything here tomorrow."

Some of the boys put their towel and swimsuit into their gym bags, while others stuffed them into their backpacks instead. As soon as they'd taken care of those items, we watched the rest of the Harry Potter movie that was currently on TV until it got closer to midnight. At that point, I switched channels so we could watch the ball drop in Times Square, and then we began wishing each other a Happy New Year. Unfortunately, I had to ask them to quiet down when they started getting carried away with their celebrating.

"I don't know which of my neighbors, if any, might be home right now, but I don't want them to discover that I have a bunch of underage boys staying in my apartment."

"Sorry! We forgot about that," Nolan apologized.

"It's ok, just try not to be so loud."

After they finished celebrating, we each grabbed a snack and a drink, and then we went back to the living room to watch more of the Harry Potter movie. After I finished my snack, I went to my bedroom and grabbed the blankets off my bed, along with a few extras that were stored in the closet, and gave them to the boys to keep warm while they were watching the rest of the movie. I told them they would feel better if they put their clothes on, but they pooh-poohed my suggestion and stayed the way they were, although they used the blankets to keep warm.

The boys all fell asleep before the movie ended, which left me with a minor dilemma. Should I wake them up or leave them where they were? Unfortunately, they didn't look very comfortable, so I roused them to see what they wanted to do.

"Me, Gary, and Will can sleep in our sleeping bags on the floor, so you can have the blankets back," Nolan advised me as they went to grab those items and got ready to turn in.

"Are you sure that you'll be comfortable doing this?"

"We'll be fine," Gary confirmed.

"Ok, and you can also use the throw pillows if you want," I offered, and then I turned toward Tucker and Jon. "Are you two going to sleep on the sofa then?"

"No. Me and Jon want to sleep with you in your bed," Tucker answered, with Jon nodding in agreement.

I said goodnight to the other three and gathered up the blankets. After I made sure the door was locked and I'd turned off the lights, I led the other pair back to my bedroom. I put the blankets on the bed first and then I stripped down, because they were both naked already. I figured that since I was in Rome, I'd do like the Romans, and the boys got in bed on either side and cuddled against me.

"I like doin' this," Jon said as he placed his head on my chest, so I reached out and wrapped an arm around him.

"Me too," Tucker concurred as he did the same. I now had a boy in each arm, their bodies and flaccid penises resting against my bare flesh, as we got ready to sleep.

"I love you Mr. Roberson," Tucker whispered once we were comfortable.

"Me too," Jon confirmed, and then I felt his arm slide across my chest as he gave me a little squeeze.

I wonder what their parents would think if they could see their sons now?

Chapter 19
A Chink In the Armor?

When I woke up several hours later, I still had a boy nestled in each arm and their bodies pressed against mine, but this time I could feel their 'morning wood' sticking into my side. My arms were slightly cramped from allowing them to sleep on them all night, but it wasn't too bad, so I didn't bother to wake them. I'd wait until they did that on their own.

Unfortunately, I heard the boys moving around in the other room before that happened, so I tried to sneak out of bed without waking Jon and Tucker up, but I was unsuccessful. As they began to get up with me, I suggested they should freshen up first and I'd wait for them.

"Why don't you two go use the toilet and splash some water on your faces to help you wake up. I'll get dressed while you're doing that, and then we'll go out and I'll fix breakfast for all of us."

"K," they both mumbled groggily.

They didn't look any better when they came back a couple of minutes later, except their morning wood had disappeared. "Or you can go back to sleep, if you want," I suggested.

"Maybe wu'll do dat den," Tucker slurred as he and Jon crawled back into bed.

I went out and found the other three lurking around in the kitchen. "Are you hungry?"

"Yeah, that's why were eating the chips and pretzels."

"Would you prefer I fix you some scrambled eggs, sausage links, and toast, or would you rather have cereal?"

"Can we have both?" Gary shot back.

"Sure. I bought those things for you boys, so just leave enough for Jon and Tucker when they wake up."

"They're still asleep?" Will asked as he looked at me amazed. "Did you guys stay up and mess around some more?"

"No, we went to sleep right away. I guess they just require more rest than you do. I guess they might even be in the middle of a growth spurt right now, and that often causes the person to sleep more."

"Maybe, but would you start fixing our breakfast? We're starving," Nolan urged. "We'll just have a bowl of cereal while your making the other stuff."

I gave them the two boxes of cereal I'd bought for them the previous day and told them to get the milk out of the refrigerator. I also told them where I keep the bowls and silverware, and then they took those items out to the table. I started making enough food for the four of us, and when it was done I sat down with them to eat. Since the other two still hadn't come out to join us by the time we finished, I offered a suggestion.

"I'm not sure what time you told your parents you'd be home, but I'm willing to take you back to get your bikes after I feed the other two."

"Can you suck us off before we go?" Will asked.

" I suppose. Why don't you three can go sit on the sofa and I'll do that for you while we're waiting for the other pair. If they're not up by the time we finish, I'll go wake them."

"K, as long as you make us cum again before we go home," Gary agreed.

I had sucked two of the boys off and was working on the last one when I heard the pitter-patter of little feet. "Will you do that to us too?" Jon wanted to know.

"Do you want to do that now, or after you eat?"

"You can do it to us now, and then we'll eat."

I had them sit down on the couch too, and then I did the same to each of them. When I got up to go fix something for them to eat, Nolan asked a question. "Do you want us to suck you off while they're eating?'

"I wouldn't mind if you wanted to do that before we left, so go get dressed while I'm fixing their breakfast."

Tucker and Jon were happy with the scrambled eggs, sausages, and toast, and then while they were chowing down, the other three worked on me. They rotated between my nipples and sucking me off, and I think I nearly blew Gary's head off when I ejaculated into his mouth.

"Damn, I'm not sure why I was so horny this time, but you guys have done a great job on me these past couple of days. I almost feel like I'm the same age as you again."

"Good, cuz it's our way of paying you back for all you do for us," Nolan replied. "And me and Gary want you to fuck us when we come here next weekend."

"I guess I can do that too, as long as it's only one of you on Saturday and the other one on Sunday."

"Yeah, that will be fine," he confirmed. It looked as if I had another busy weekend coming up, so I'd make sure to rest up on Friday night.

"Get your things together while the other two are getting dressed, since they're done eating now. Once you're all ready, I'll drive you over to get your bikes. I'll also take a couple of towels with me, in case your bikes are damp from the morning dew."

About twenty minutes later we were arriving at the school, and like I suspected, their bikes were damp, so I let them use the towels to wipe off their seats, handle bars, and pedals. Once they handed the towels back to me, I said goodbye and told them to be careful on their way home, and they thanked me and said they'd had a wonderful time.

"I think that was the best New Year's ever," Will gushed, and the boys all echoed his sentiment. I was glad they'd all had a good time, and I was a little sad as I watched them pedal away.

Once they were no longer in sight, I made my way back to the apartment complex, and as I was getting out of the car, my neighbor Jennifer was just leaving her apartment. "Good morning," I greeted her.

"Good morning to you too. I was just on my way to the store, because we ran out of bread and milk."

"Just be careful. I'm sure a few of the heavy drinkers from last night are just heading home about now, and they may not be entirely sober yet."

"Thanks, I will. And I noticed you had company last night too. Were they your students?" I nearly panicked and had to think fast.

"No, members of my drama club. I offered to let them stay with me so their parents could go out."

"Awww, that's so sweet of you. They must really like you, because I've seen them around before."

"Yes, you probably have. They sometimes come over to talk about the play we're working on and I help them practice their lines."

"Oh, what play are you doing?"

"We did The Secret Garden before Thanksgiving, and we're working on The Adventures of Tom Sawyer now. We'll be putting it on the last weekend in February, with a performance for the parents on Saturday. You're welcome to come see it if you're interested, and there's no charge."

"I might do that."

"We're doing the musical Oliver! after that, but you'll have to buy a ticket to go to that production. We're charged royalties to put it on, so we have to make enough money to cover the expense."

"I love musicals, so I might drag my husband to see it. Those boys are lucky to have you."

"Oh, I think I'm the lucky one, since they're willing to be in the plays, because it's a lot of work. I'm only helping the music teacher with the musical, because that's her baby."

"So the boys must come over to work on the plays quite often, because I've seen them coming across the parking lot quite a few times."

"I tutor them also. They're not bad students, but we're hoping the extra sessions will help them get into a better college in a few years."

"Their parents must think you're the greatest."

"I'm not sure about that, but we get along very well."

"I'm sure you do. Well, I'd better get going before my husband gets upset. We need those things so he can have something to eat."

"Then get going and I'll see you around."

I entered my apartment, closed the door, and then collapsed on the sofa. That was a close call, and I was glad I had some believable explanations ready to keep her from thinking that something wasn't quite right. I hope she bought what I told her, and I was glad that I'd previously considered what I'd do if a situation like this arose. It helped that I had some of the details worked out in advance, or I might have had difficulty answering her questions.

Before this happened, I hadn't been aware that anyone else had noticed the boys when they came over. I thought we were being careful, but obviously I was mistaken. It also made me wonder if anyone else had noticed what was going on, but now that this had occurred, I might have to do something about the boys visiting me so often.

As I sat there, I thought about a great many things and wondered if it was time to tell the boys to stop coming around for a while. I also considered that if we were going to keep doing these things, then maybe I'd need to move somewhere that was a little more isolated than this place. My lease on the apartment would be up at the start of the summer, since I moved here right after college, shortly after I was first notified that I'd been hired for the job. Maybe I should start looking around for another place starting in April, and that way I'd be ready to move by June. In the meantime, I wasn't sure what I was going to do about the boys.

I spent the next couple of hours wondering if Jennifer and Duane already suspected something improper was going on. I'd given her some logical explanations for why the boys had been visiting me, but I wondered if they might have overheard unexplained sounds coming from the apartment that didn't fit into any of those scenarios? Had they heard one of the boys moaning or shouting out something inappropriate when I was taking care of his needs, and had that alerted them to what we were doing? Maybe the boys had been talking amongst themselves outside and had said something that boys their age shouldn't have been saying.

The more I thought about this and analyzed my discussion with her, I felt she hadn't acted as if anything was wrong or that there was a problem. She just seemed to be friendly, possibly even impressed that I was spending so much time helping the boys. Was that merely an act so she wouldn't rouse my suspicions, or was I reading too much into this now? I was more confused than ever before!

It was all I could think about for the rest of the day. After such a wonderful 24-hours with the boys, I suddenly found myself mired in despair. Was I being too sensitive about my casual encounter with Jennifer, or was I spotting a potential problem far enough in advance that I might be able to do something about it before it was too late? I wasn't sure which situation might be correct, but did I dare take the chance that nothing was wrong?

Before I went to bed that evening, I came up with a plan of action. Since the boys were planning on coming over again next weekend, I wouldn't stop them from visiting, and I'd also do what they wanted. Once we finished, though, I'd explain this was the final time and we'd have to stop getting together for a while. I'd tell them that I had no idea about how long it might be until we could start getting together again, and possibly we could do it if I found another residence where we'd have a bit more privacy. No matter what, the hiatus would definitely last until I was convinced that Jennifer and Duane didn't suspect anything.

I already knew the boys would be upset with my decision, but at the same time I realized it wasn't going to be very easy for me either. I wasn't sure if I could explain what they've meant to me, or how they'd given me something special to look forward to each week, because I've been enjoying their company as well. Would I be able to go back to the way it was before they first started coming over, or would I suffer as badly as they would?

I still had a couple of days left before school started again, and I realized they would be two of the longest and loneliest days of my life. I was already agonizing over what I was going to have to do, but as far as I was concerned, I didn't have a choice. I didn't want to lose my job, and I didn't want to end up in prison either. If Duane and Jennifer were already suspicious and mentioned it to someone else, who knows what sort of repercussions I might experience?

Seeing I was afraid that some of the boys might unexpectedly drop by over the next couple of days, I decided that I'd have to do something else, so I wouldn't be here if they showed up. I began to consider what else I might do on Monday and Tuesday and came up with a tentative plan. Now, I just had to pray they didn't think of doing the same things.

Needless to say, I didn't sleep very well that night, because I experienced some really horrible dreams. My mind was working overtime thinking up the worst possible outcomes that might happen if things started going badly. When I woke up, I was more tired than when I went to bed the night before.

Since I felt I had to get away for the day, I left the apartment shortly after I had eaten and drove to a nearby town. After walking around the mall for a couple of hours, I went to have lunch at a popular chain restaurant next, before going to see a movie. I don't even remember what was playing, because I fell asleep seeing I was so exhausted. One of the other people woke me up on his way out of the theater, so I thanked him and headed out to my car.

By the time I arrived at my apartment again, I was pretty sure it was too late for the boys to stop by, so I began to relax. Now, I only had one more day left to avoid them before we returned to school. This was going to be a short school week, so the drama club didn't have a meeting or any practices scheduled until the following Monday. This meant I had until the weekend to decide what I was going to tell the boys.

I slept a little better that night, possibly because I was mentally drained, and then after I ate, I grabbed my gym bag and headed to the Y. I didn't expect any of the boys would be there, and I didn't feel they would expect me to go there either, so I went to work out. I was still quite lethargic, so I sat in the locker room for a while to give me a chance to get up the strength to go to the pool. While I was doing that, I saw several other boys and men enter, change, and head out to the pool or gym, but even that became a problem, when I saw a few of them naked. It made me think about the boys again and what I'd be giving up, but what else could I do?

After getting in the pool, I started swimming laps and stopped thinking about my problems. I began to feel a little better, even though the swimming was tiring me out, but it also kept me from thinking about the boys. I continued what I was doing, and when I finished, I went back to the locker room and sat down to rest again. While I was doing that, I saw a few more naked bodies, including when I went in to shower, and since it was defeating all that I'd gained, I finished up quickly, went out to change, and left.

I drove around for a while next, because I felt it was still too early to head back to the apartment, since I was worried the boys might be waiting for me. I even decided to have dinner at the Rusty Hammer first, to take up even more time before returning to my apartment. I'd managed to avoid them, but I wondered if they would come to my classroom to ask me where I'd been?

I was mildly surprised that none of the boys stopped by to see me over the three days after we got back to school, but I was also relieved. At least I wouldn't have to explain my absence to any of them individually, and I could do it when they were all at my place on Saturday.

I slept fairly well on Friday night, although earlier I'd been thinking about how I was going to tell the boys about my decision the next afternoon. When I woke up, I went through my normal morning routine, packed my gym bag, and headed out for the Y. So far, so good. After going through a fairly rigorous workout, I showered, changed, and started back to my apartment, still not quite sure what I was going to say to the boys.

I left the door ajar as I went inside and grabbed a drink. I didn't even take time to eat first, because I was just too nervous to think about food. Even if I had eaten, I might not have been able to keep it down, seeing I was so worried about how they were going to react. I heard a single knock, and when the door swung open they merely filed inside and greeted me.

"Hi, Mr. Roberson. Are you ready to get started?" Will asked next.

"Not quite yet. I want to talk to you boys first, so why don't you go take a seat in the living room. Would any of you care for a drink before we get started?"

They decided that might be a good idea, so they followed me out to the kitchen to get what they wanted. They took their drinks back to the living room and sat down, and I took another quick swig from my drink before I began.

"Fellas, I'm afraid we might have a problem," I began, but Gary cut me off.

"Why? What's the matter?"

"After you spent the night here on New Year's Eve, I ran into one of my neighbors after dropping you off at the school. She mentioned that she'd noticed you'd all spent the night, but she also told me she'd seen you coming here before. Although she didn't accuse me of anything, she asked why you were over here so much."

"What did you tell her?" Nolan followed, looking concerned.

"I said I'd offered to have you stay over on New Year's Eve so your parents could go out, and then I told her the reasons we'd discussed before about what we'd tell people in they wanted to know what you were doing here."

"What reasons did you tell her?" Jon asked next.

"That's right, you weren't here when we talked about that. I told her you dropped by to talk about the plays and to practice your lines, but I also told her I was tutoring you so you'd be able to get into a better college after you graduated from high school."

"Ok, so what's the problem?" Tucker wondered.

"Although she didn't accuse me of anything, I'm worried she or her husband might be thinking that we're doing things we shouldn't be doing. We are, but I don't want them, or anyone else, to know that. I don't want them figuring it out either."

"If she didn't say anything like that, maybe she thinks you're just a really nice guy," Gary offered.

"That's what I'm hoping, but I can't take the chance that she was just trying to get information from me to confirm her suspicions."

I was about to continue when I heard a knock at the door. Since the boys were all here, I couldn't imagine who it might be, and my heart was pounding in my chest as I went over to see who was there. When I opened the door, I discovered it was Jennifer standing on the other side.

"Hi, Marshall. I saw the boys coming across the parking lot, and seeing I'd just made a batch of chocolate chip cookies, I decided to bring down a platter full to share with you guys."

Fortunately, as she glanced around she could see the boys sitting in the living room, fully clothed, and waiting for me to return. "That's really nice of you, so would you like to come in and meet the boys?"

"Sure, if you don't mind."

I took her over and introduced her to each one, and she shook their hands and held out the platter for them to take a cookie as she said hello. Once the introductions had been completed, she asked a question. "So what are you up to today?"

"We're just talking about the play we're in," Nolan answered without hesitation.

"It sounds interesting," she replied.

The boys then told her what parts they had, and what they'd done in the other play too. After she finished listening to what they had to say, she spoke again. "You must really like your teacher to come over here so often."

"Yeah, he's really nice," Jon replied.

"And we like bein' in the plays," Tucker added. "Well, I'm glad I got to meet you and I'll leave the rest of the cookies for you. Marshall, you can bring the platter back to me later."

The boys then said goodbye to her and she left, and I thanked her for the cookies. Once she was gone, I sat down and stared at the boys for a few seconds, still in shock.

"She seemed nice," Will stated, breaking my trance.

"Yes, but can you imagine how she might have reacted or what she might have thought if we'd been back in the bedroom and hadn't heard her knock?"

"That would have been really weird," Nolan responded.

"Yes, and it might have made her wonder what we were up to. We were lucky that we were talking at the time she decided to come down. It makes we wonder if she was just being friendly, or if the cookies were an excuse to see what we were up to."

"So she shouldn't be thinking anything bad now, since we were only sittin' here talkin'," Tucker added.

"Maybe, but it might have made her even more curious. Look, I was going to tell you this before, but now I think it's even more important. You're going to have to stop coming over here for a while, at least until I'm sure no one is keeping track of how often you show up."

"You can't do that," Will challenged. "We like comin' over here and doing this stuff with you."

"I know, but I warned you we might have to stop if something like this happened."

"But you're not even sure she thinks anything is wrong," Gary pointed out. "She seemed really nice and didn't act like she thought anything was wrong."

"Maybe, and maybe not. I'm just not sure what to think."

"But we really need this and it helps us out a lot," Nolan reasoned.

"That might be, but I don't know if I can take that chance any longer."

"I just started doin' this with you guys, so I don't want to stop either," Jon added.

"And I just got so the other guys could fuck me too, so I don't want to stop either," Tucker followed.

"I know, but I just can't take that chance."

"How about we only come over on Sunday from now on, instead of both days?" Nolan suggested.

"I think it would be better if we took a couple of weeks off, since you've been around so much."

"But if she suspects something, won't that make her more suspicious if we stopped showin' up once she talked to you about it?" Will asked.

"Yes, I guess that's possible too."

"Then let's keep doin' like we have been," Gary recommended. "That way she won't notice anything different."

"That could end up being either good or bad. She might think we're just doing what we've been doing, but if she or her husband suspect something, then it might make them even more curious when they see you coming back every weekend."

"Damn, this is confusing," Nolan stated. "So what are we gonna do?"

"My lease is up just after school ends, and I was thinking about looking for a place where we'd have a little more privacy. Maybe we should just wait until I find another place to live."

"Heck, no. That would mean we wouldn't be able to do anything with you for months," Will objected.

"Yeah, that's way too long," Tucker agreed.

"How about we just come over every other weekend until you move?" Nolan suggested.

"I guess every other Sunday wouldn't be too bad."

"No, I meant both days every other weekend."

"I'm going to have to think about this some more, and then I'll let you know what I decide later."

"Since we're here and she's already stopped by, can we do somethin' now?" Will pressed.

"Ok, but let's make it quick and keep the noise down. I don't want them to hear anything that will make them even more suspicious."

"If we all get a partner, we can fuck them at the same time, so it won't take nearly as long as doing one group at a time," Gary suggested.

"Ok, but you've got to keep the noise down."

"We can do it in here, and then you can turn the TV on so they'll hear that, instead of what we're doing," Nolan offered. "It's your turn to fuck me, and then you can fuck Gary tomorrow."

"I guess we can do that. I'll just close the blinds and pull the curtains shut so no one can see inside."

After I brought the condoms and lube from my bedroom, we were ready to get started.

"I want one of the others to fuck me today," Tucker stated. "I've taken the blue dildo, so I want somebody with a bigger dick to do it."

Gary offered to do it with Tucker, so Jon and Will teamed up, since Nolan had already said he was doing it with me. Since we were all paired up, Jon, Gary, and Nolan went first, and I kept an eye on Tucker to see how he was handling things. He seemed to be doing fine, so after those three all had their orgasms, we switched and let the other one take his turn. The only difference was, Tucker was fucking Jon, and Will was fucking Gary, since Jon wasn't ready for anyone other than Tucker to do it to him yet.

Since this was the first time I was doing this with Nolan, I was concerned about how he would handle it. I opened him up as much as I could with my fingers while I was lubing him up, and when I felt there was nothing else I could do, I placed the helmet of my penis against his opening and asked if he was ready.

"Yeah, go ahead."

I tried to ease into him as gently as I could, but I could tell he was still having problems accepting my girth. When the head penetrated his anal ring, I heard him groan. "Do you want me to stop?"

"No, I'm ok. It just hurt a little, but it wasn't bad. Go ahead and keep goin'."

I slid the rest of the way into him slowly, and when he urged me to start fucking him, I pulled back about three-quarters of the way and then slid back into him. He didn't seem to be having a problem with that, so I started to work into a rhythm. It was slow and easy at first, and then I picked up the pace as I began to feel my juices coming to a boil. The others had already finished, so they were watching me as I continued to work on Nolan. After another couple of minutes, I drove into him one final time, as I released the first blast of my man seed into the condom. After a few more less forceful thrusts, I finished ejaculating, but I waited a while before I pulled out of Nolan's butt. He turned around and smiled at me when that happened.

"You didn't make me cum like you did Will, but it felt incredible. I like it when the other guys do it to me too, but I felt a lot different with you doing it to me. My insides were all tingly, and my nuts felt like I was gonna cum again, but it never happened."

"That could have been due to the fact that you'd already cum, and your body hadn't recuperated enough to produce another load."

"Maybe, but it was really wild. No one's ever made me feel so good before."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"And next time your fuckin' me," Gary announced.

Since we'd all gotten off, we cleaned up, got dressed, and the boys got ready to leave. "We'll see you at the Y tomorrow, and then we'll come here so I can have my turn," Gary reiterated before I opened the door. Since Jennifer was already aware of their coming and going, I didn't bother to check outside first and just sent them on their way. If we ended up taking a break, I think I was going to miss doing this more than they were.

Chapter 20
Changes

I slept like a baby that night, even though I was still worried about Jennifer and Duane. I think my relaxed slumber was the result of what I'd done with Nolan the evening before, and I was still having difficulty believing that I'd fucked two of the boys already. Not only that, but Gary wanted me to do it to him today as well, so I will have fucked everyone who's ready for me by the time I go to bed tonight. Even though Tucker and Jon might want me to do it with them too, they still had a long way to go before that happened.

After going through my morning ritual, I grabbed my gym bag and headed to the Y. The boys were all there when I arrived, and it appeared as if I'd caught them in the middle of a conversation with Nigel and Rory.

"So did you guys have a good time on New Year's Eve?" Rory asked the others.

"Yeah, we had a great time?" Gary answered.

"So did you do something fun and naughty?" Nigel followed.

"We'll just say that we all got off, and not with our hands either," Will replied.

"Guys, I don't think you should be talking about these things in here, because you never know who else might be listening to what you're saying. Let's go get in the pool so we can work off some of our excess energy."

They followed my suggestion, for which I was grateful, and we spent the next couple of hours playing tag and horsing around in the pool. I think we were all pretty tired by the time we called it quits, so we headed back to the locker room to shower and change. After I said goodbye to the boys, I took off for the apartment, knowing most of them would be showing up soon.

When I first got there, I retrieved Jennifer's platter from the dishwasher, since I'd run it through a cycle the night before. "I just wanted to return this and thank you again for the cookies. The boys and I enjoyed them."

"You're welcome, and they all seemed like sweet kids."

"They're a good group and I'm grateful we get along so well. I've never really had to discipline any of them, although they get a little crazy at times."

"Don't all boys? I grew up with two brothers, so I know how boys that age can be."

"I think they're getting a little antsy about the play, because they're worried the two week break will mess up our momentum. The boys are worried that some of the other kids will forget their lines now, seeing it's been so long since we had our last rehearsal."

"I'm sure they'll do fine, but it's good that they're a little worried too. It shows they really care."

"There's no doubt in my mind about that, so I hope you'll come to see the play when we put it on."

"Unless something else comes up at the last minute, I'll be there."

When I returned to the apartment, I left the door ajar and sat down to think about the current situation. I'd just urged Jennifer to come see the play, because I thought watching the boys in action might help to convince her about why they were coming over to rehearse their lines so often. Maybe it would convince her of their dedication and deter her from suspecting anything else. At least that's what I hoped.

I had turned the television on before the boys arrived, so it wouldn't appear as if we were just using it to cover up whatever else we might be doing. The boys arrived a few minutes later, and I suggested we sit and talk for a while first, in case Jennifer came back using another pretense to see what was going on.

"Guys, I want to use this time to discuss the things we were talking about yesterday. I've thought about everything you said and I've decided that we have to cut back on the time we spend together. Now, I just want to see how you want to do it."

"But we don't want to do that!" Will protested.

"Yeah, we like how it is now, and how it's been working out," Gary confirmed, with the others nodding to show their support.

"I know, but that isn't an option any longer. We have to cut back to prevent others from getting suspicious, so I just want to know if you'd rather come over one day each week, or continue like we've been doing, except you'd only come here every other weekend."

"I don't want to go two weeks before seeing you," Nolan responded.

"Yeah, it would be better if we could do somethin' every week," Tucker confessed.

"I'm willing to do that, but we'll do it differently than we're doing it now. We're no longer going to meet at the same time every week, in case someone else is keeping track of what we're up to, so we'll mix things up a bit."

"So what are we gonna do then?" Jon followed, as he looked at me oddly.

"Would any of you have a problem coming here after school on Friday?" They all shook their heads, so I continued. "Then we can rotate getting together on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, but we won't do it in any particular order."

"What do you mean?" Nolan wanted to know.

"From now on I'll let you know in advance when we're going to get together next, but we won't follow any particular pattern. I thought we could do it randomly, and vary getting together on Friday after school, Saturday at 12:30 like you've been doing, Saturday at 3:00, or Sunday after we get back from the Y."

"Ok, I see what you mean now, so when will we be doing it next?" Gary asked.

"I was thinking we'd get together next Friday, since we've never done anything on that day before. We'll probably do it on Saturday at 3:00 the week after that, and then maybe Friday again, before getting together on Sunday after our swim session. Then, we might do it on Saturday at 12:30 the week after that, so no one will be able to figure out a pattern for when we might be meeting here."

"I see now," Jon stated, and his face made it appear as if a light bulb had just been turned on in his head.

"Yeah, that should confuse people, as long as we don't forget what day we're supposed to come here," Will added.

"Don't worry, I'll remind you at one of the rehearsals each week, and I think we'll do this until I find somewhere else to live. I'll be looking for a place where it won't be as noticeable if you show up to see me."

"That would be good, and then we can be with you more often than just once a week again," Tucker concurred.

By the time we ended our discussion no one else had dropped by, so I told the boys they could get undressed and we'd do the same thing we'd done the day before, except this time I'd be with Gary.

Gary fucked me first, while Jon was doing the same thing to Nolan, and Will was fucking Tucker. As soon as those three had enjoyed their orgasms, Tucker moved over to fuck Jon, while Nolan did the same thing to Will, and I got ready to fuck Gary for the first time. Just like I had done with Nolan and Will, I stretched him out as much as I could with my fingers while I was lubing him up, and then I got ready to enter him. Much to my amazement, I had very little difficulty inserting my penis into his bowels, so I started sliding it back and forth almost as soon as I was all the way inside him.

Gary was moaning, but he was keeping it down for the most part, as I plowed in and out of his backside. I had established a very satisfying rhythm to maximize my pleasure, and I hoped it was doing the same thing for him. Once again, I took longer than the boys before blasting into the condom, and when I pulled out I looked at Gary and spoke.

"You didn't seem to have any problem with this, so did you enjoy it?"

"Yeah, it was wicked and I loved it," he gushed, grinning broadly. "And the reason I didn't have any problems was cuz I've been practicing at home."

"You have? With what?"

"I've been using a souvenir baseball bat I got on 'bat day' when my dad took me to a baseball game. It's about as big around as the dildo you used on us last, so I just coated it with baby oil and used it to practice with. I used it last night before I went to bed."

"I could tell that you must have done something, because I entered you a lot easier than I did Will and Nolan, and you didn't seem to have any pain like they did either."

"It was kinda painful when I used the bat, but it was worth it, cuz I got to do this with you. Like Nolan said, it was incredible and made my whole body tingle."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it and thought it was worth whatever pain you might have gone through to make it happen."

"Oh, yeah. It definitely was."

After we cleaned up and got dressed, we sat around for a while and talked about the upcoming rehearsals. We'd be doing the first two scenes of Act One on Monday, and then the remaining scenes on Thursday. Beside working with all of the kids on their lines and how they moved around the stage, I planned on working with Wayne and Brian too. I would explain everything they would have to do for each scene and what props would be needed. I just hoped they would do as well as Nolan and Gary had done on the first play.

When we finished talking about those things, I felt it was time for the boys to go home, so we said goodbye and I walked them to the door. After I watched them cross the parking lot, I went inside, sat on the sofa, and half-heartedly watched TV while I thought about what the boys and I had just done.

I did that until my stomach began to growl, and then I got up to fix something to eat. After I finished, I went over my lesson plans for the next week to make sure everything was in order, and that's when I remembered something else I had planned on doing. I quickly jotted myself a note, so I wouldn't forget again, and when I finished I noticed it was time to go to bed, so I went through my nightly ritual.

As I was getting ready to hop under the covers, I thought about the discussion I had with the boys earlier. I wondered if cutting back to just one day a week, and rotating that day, was going to be enough to deflect suspicion. I hoped it would do what I intended, or we might have to stop getting together until I moved.

The school week was hectic, and besides teaching my classes, we held the first of two rehearsals for Act One on Monday. The kids did fairly well, but they made a few mistakes. Sometimes they would say a line at the wrong time, or they'd forget what they were supposed to say completely, but I felt it was merely a result of not practicing for over two weeks. I was sure they'd improve, once they got back in the groove.

On Tuesday, I asked Braedon O'Donnell to come see me during his lunch hour. A look of fear immediately crossed his face when I asked him to do this, but after I assured him he wasn't in trouble and I just need to discuss something with him, he seemed to relax. In case you don't remember, he's the boy whose essay about what he hoped his Christmas was going to be like had brought me to tears. I wanted to talk to him and see if there was anything I could do to help.

When he showed up in my classroom, I greeted him warmly, hoping that would allay any fear. He smiled weakly, and then I began to speak. "Braedon, when I read the essay you wrote about Christmas it bothered me, so I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help."

Braedon was a good looking boy, with light brown hair and hazel eyes. I intentionally didn't say he was cute, because I'd never seen him smile very often, but now I was beginning to understand why he always looked so sad and dazed.

"Nah, what can you do? It just has to do with me and my parents."

"I know, but why do you think they don't understand you? And why do you feel so lonely when you're home?"

He looked as if he didn't want to answer, but after swallowing a few times, he finally spoke. "I don't think I'm exactly what my parents were hoping for when I was born."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I can tell they're disappointed. My dad isn't happy cuz I don't like sports. He used to make me sign up for different sports teams, but I was never very good and hated doin' that stuff, and I never got to play much. My parents like that I get good grades in school and don't get in trouble, but there are some other things about me that they're gonna hate."

"What do you mean they're going to hate those things?"

"They don't know bout them yet, and I'm not gonna tell them either."

"Would you be willing to tell me?"

"It's not somethin' I want to talk about," he replied, looking very nervous now.

"Braedon, I want you to know that there's nothing you can tell me that would keep me from liking you, unless you've killed or raped someone. And I won't tell you parents either, if you agree to share this with me."

"Uhhh, I don't know. It's, ummm, kinda personal," he stammered, and he seemed to be studying my face.

"Braedon, I think I can guess what you're referring to, and I promise it won't shock me. I wouldn't think any differently of you either. In fact, I might even be able to help, if you're willing, and I swear I won't ever say a word to your parents."

He studied my face intently for the next couple of minutes, but he never said a word. He seemed to be debating if he should take a chance and confide in me, and I intended on giving him all the time he needed to make up his mind. Eventually, he licked his lips, swallowed hard a couple more times, and then began to speak.

"I don't, ummm, like, you know, girls."

"I had a feeling the problem might be that you're gay. I know some parents have a great deal of difficulty dealing with a gay child."

His eyes nearly bulged out of his head when I first said the word 'gay', so I felt he was having difficulty dealing with that reality too. After a few moments he began to calm down, so I thought it might put him at ease if I shared my secret with him too.

"Braedon, there's nothing to be ashamed of. I know, because I'm gay too." This time his mouth dropped open. "I don't go around telling everyone, but I'm not ashamed to admit it either. I don't broadcast it, though, because I'm not sure how parents might react to having me teach their children. I'm also worried that it might even cost me my job."

"Dang, I didn't know you were like me, Mr. Roberson. I know you understand now, but my dad will hate me even more if he finds out."

"You really think so?"

"Yeah, definitely. He says awful things about them all the time."

"How about your mom?"

"She's not as bad, but I know she thinks gays are disgusting too. She says it's against the Bible and all gays are goin' to hell."

"I'm sorry you are going through this, and now I understand why you feel so alone. Would it help if I introduced you to other gays who go to school here?"

"There are more than just me and you?"

"Yes, I know a few of them, and if you want, I'll see if maybe they'd like to spend some time with you too."

"Yeah, that would be great. I wouldn't dare have them come to my house, specially if they act in a way that others know they're gay, but I could talk to them here at school, or maybe at their house too."

"I'll ask them, to see what they have to say." He had a huge smile on his face after I said this. "Braedon, just out of curiosity, do you swim."

"Yeah, it's the only thing I do that Dad is ok with, but I don't get to do it much."

"Would your parents let you go swimming at the YMCA, or don't they let you do things like that?"

"Yeah, I think they'd let me go, cuz it's somethin' they don't mind me doin'."

"Do you have a bike?"

"Yeah, but I don't think they'd let me ride it there."

"No, I thought you might be able to ride it to one of the other boy's house, so his parents could give you a ride."

"I probably could do that. I'd just have to tell my parents who I'm goin' with."

"Ok, then let me talk to them and see what I can do. Maybe I can set something up so you can meet some others and not feel so alone. I'll let you know if I'm able to set something up."

As I stood up to leave the classroom with him, Braedon dashed over and wrapped his arms around my waist. "Thanks, Mr. Roberson. This will help a lot."

I hugged him back and tousled his hair, and this caused him to look up at me again. His smile was even broader now, and then he turned to go to the lunchroom. I figured I'd talk to the other boys the next chance I got and see if they'd be willing to help me out with this.

When I saw Braedon in my classroom on Wednesday, I swear he was staring and smiling at me the entire time. He'd always been a good kid, just quiet and withdrawn, so it was nice to see that maybe this was having a positive effect on him.

After we finished practicing the second half of Act One on Thursday, I told everyone we'd practice Act Two the following week and split it up the same way. This meant we'd practice Act Two scenes one and two on Monday, and scenes three through five on Thursday. During the rehearsal, I managed to pull each of the boys aside long enough to remind them that we'd be meeting tomorrow night, in case it had slipped their minds. Judging by their reaction, though, they hadn't forgotten, so I went home and rested up for the following day.

Although I was busy with my classes on Friday, I often found myself distracted and thinking about what I'd be doing later. We'd never gotten together on a school day before, and I'd always met up with them on the weekend. I was also thinking about how I was going to tell them about Braedon, and I hoped at least one of them would volunteer to be his friend. Since Braedon and Tucker were both in seventh grade, I hoped he might be the one, but Braedon was so lonely that I didn't think he'd care who it was, as long as he had a friend who was just like him.

The boys showed up at my apartment about an hour after school ended, because they had to go home first, change, and get their bikes before they could head over here. As soon as they walked through the door, I was given my instructions.

"Since you've fucked Nolan and Gary already, today it's my turn again," Will announced. "But this time I want you to fuck me first, cuz I want to see if you can make me cum while you're doing it to me this time."

"I guess we could do that, and I'll put a towel on the bed under you, in case you do ejaculate. It will prevent me from having to clean up the mess later, and I'll just put the towel in with the dirty laundry if that happens."

"That's a good idea, and then I won't feel so bad about making a mess, if I cum while you're fuckin' me."

"Before we get started, though, I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Do any of you know Braedon O'Donnell?"

"I do," Tucker answered. "He's in some of my classes."

"I thought you might, since he's a seventh grader too. Anyone else?"

"I'm not sure. I might know who he was if I saw him," Gary followed, and the others agreed with what he'd just said. "Why are you askin'?"

"Before Christmas I had my classes write an essay about what they thought their Christmas vacation was going to be like. When I read his essay, I got the feeling that he was unhappy and felt quite lonely. I had him come to my classroom one afternoon so I could talk to him about it, and it turns out there's a reason he feels this way – he's gay. He didn't even realize there might be other gays at the school too, and he really could use some friends. I thought maybe he could start going swimming with us."

"Yeah, that would probably be alright," Nolan agreed, "but are you gonna have him start comin' here too?"

"Maybe later, after we get to know him better, but not right away. For the time being I just want him to interact with you guys. Nolan, do you think you're mother would let him ride to the Y with you guys?"

"I guess she would, if you tell us where he lives."

"I'll talk to him at school and see if he can ride over to my house instead," Tucker offered. "That way she can just pick him up with me and Jon."

"Yeah, that would be better," Nolan agreed.

"If we're through talkin' bout this other kid, can be get started now?" Will followed. It was obvious that he was eager to have me fuck him again.

The other boys decided they would watch what we were doing first, because they wanted to see if Will would cum without anyone touching his penis. I didn't have a problem with that, so Will and I got ready to get it on. It was a little easier entering him this time, so I asked if he'd been practicing with something in between. Even though I was behind him, I was able to see that he blushed before he answered.

"Yeah, I took the empty bottle after my parents drank all the wine in it, and I've been using that to get ready for you," he admitted. "I got the idea after hearing Gary talk about usin' the bat, and I just put some baby oil on it before I used it."

"So it's tapered so you can do that?" I asked.

"If you're asking if the neck of the bottle gets wider as it goes down, it does, but I don't go all the way down on it. I only go as far as I think I need to so I'm ready for you, cause the rest of the bottle is way too big."

"Damn, I didn't think of doin' that, so now I'll have to look for somethin' I can use at home too," Nolan confessed.

"Just be careful," I urged. "I don't want any of you to get caught doing these things, and I don't want you to hurt yourself doing it either."

"We'll be careful," they all agreed.

Seeing I now understood why it had been much easier with him this time, I began my thrusting motion, and Will was doing everything he could think of to be an active participant. He was rocking back and forth in the opposite direction my hips were moving, so we were working like a well oiled machine. I had trouble believing that he'd been able to figure this out so quickly and realized it would make it better for both of us. I've had adult partners before who didn't do as well as he was doing, because they were much more passive when we were making love.

I was still thinking about this situation when I felt Will's butt muscles tighten around my penis and his body began to shudder. I had a feeling this meant he was having another hands-free orgasm.

"Holy shit! Will's cumming from just you fuckin' him," Nolan observed, impressed.

"Just keep it down. I don't want you announcing this to all of my neighbors too," I warned.

"Oops, sorry," he apologized, looking slightly embarrassed.

When Will's butt muscles tightened around my penis while he was ejaculating, it hastened my orgasm too. His body was just releasing it's last spurt when I began to fill the condom too. As soon as I was completely drained, I fell on the bed, totally exhausted, and Will collapsed beside me. He recovered first and then began to kiss me.

"Thank you, that was totally awesome. I cummed even harder than I usually do when I fuck one of the other guys."

"I'm not sure if that's possible, although it might have felt that way, but I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"Mr. Roberson, I want you to try using the blue one of me now," Jon advised me as I was beginning to get up. "I want to see if I can take that one, cuz then maybe one of the others can fuck me and make me feel like I'm cumming too."

"Jon, are you sure you want to do that?"

"Yeah, I really do. I thought about it even before we started today, so will you please try usin' that one on me?"

"Ok, if you want to give it a try, but let me know if you want me to stop, because I think you are rushing this a bit."

He agreed, and the other boys decided they wanted to watch how he did with it, because it would mean different pairs if he was successful. I went over to the nightstand and grabbed the blue dildo, put a condom on it and added some lube. Then, I used my fingers to get Jon ready, as I lube him up too. When I thought he was sufficiently prepared, I put the dildo at his entrance and gave him a word of advice.

"Push out, and hopefully this won't hurt as much."

He nodded, so I added a little pressure and watched as the dildo began to spread his sphincter. "Ugggh!" I heard Jon moan.

"I take it that hurt, so do you want me to stop now?"

"No! Keep goin'," he hissed between clenched teeth.

I tried to do it as gently as I could, but I was able to tell it was still hurting him. Even though I kept asking if he wanted me to stop, he wasn't about to quit, so I continued working it in his butt until it was completely embedded in his bowels. I gave him a couple of minutes to adjust to it, and then he made his next request.

"Start fuckin' me with it now," he hissed once again.

I did what he wanted and started sliding the dildo in and out of his butt for a few minutes, and then I stopped. As soon as I pulled it out, he looked up at me and grinned. "I did it, so now one of the other guys can fuck me."

"I think you should use this the next time you're here too, before you try doing that. I think it would be best if you let Tucker fuck you again today, and then if you handle it easier the next time, then we'll let Gary fuck you next. His penis isn't quite as thick as the other two, so it should be easier for you."

"Ok, but I'd rather do that now," Jon offered as a mild protest.

"Next time," I repeated.

Will and I then watched as Gary fucked Nolan and Tucker did the same to Jon, and when they finished, Will spoke up. "I'm ready to go again, so let Jon fuck Gary, Nolan can do you, and I'll fuck Tucker again."

Since all of the others agreed with his suggestion, I got rid of the towel that I had placed under Will earlier, and then the rest of the boys got ready to take their turn. I guess taking the time to watch me use the blue dildo on Jon had given Will enough time to recharge his battery, so now he'd be able to fuck someone too. He might not ejaculate as much as he did earlier, but that shouldn't affect his performance or disappoint this partner, so I kept an eye on the other two pairs as Gary got ready to fuck me.

Once those boys had all enjoyed their orgasms, we cleaned up and got dressed again, but then the boys asked a question before they left. "What day are we gonna do this next week?" Jon wanted to know, and I was fairly certain he was asking for the others too.

"We'll meet on Saturday at 3:00 next time. We haven't done anything that late on Saturday before, and the times that you've come here after lunch on the other Saturdays, you've usually been gone by 3:00. I don't think anyone will be watching for you then, just like I hope they weren't watching for you today."

"Ok, but you're gonna remind us again, aren't you?" Will followed.

"Yes, I'll remind you next week at practice, just like I did this time."

"K, cuz we don't want to forget when we're sposed to be here."

Even though I doubted any of them would forget, since they all seemed to want to do this, I didn't bother arguing the point. Instead, I said goodbye to them and watched as they took off, but I was already wondering how I was going to make it through the next two days.

I had gotten used to the boys dropping by twice a week, so I was wondering if this solo weekly session was actually going to tide me over. I also wondered how the boys were going to react as well, but then I decided that they'd just jerk off if things got too bad for them. Gary and Will would probably be using their makeshift dildos as well, and Nolan was going to try to figure out what he could use, but I doubted Tucker or Jon would try anything like that. Besides having to find something slightly smaller, I think those two might be more concerned about their parents finding out what they were up to. Therefore, I just hoped we'd all be ok until the following weekend.

Chapter 21
An Olive Branch

Friday night didn't turn out to be as big of a problem as I feared, and I slept fairly well. When I woke up the next morning, I went through my morning ritual and grabbed my gym bag so I could head to the Y. This was the workout I normally did alone, so I didn't expect it would be a big deal. I planned on swimming long and hard and hoped it would be enough to tire me out so I wouldn't miss the boys after I got back to the apartment.

To my surprise, a couple of other boys I knew came over to speak to me when I stopped to take my first break from swimming laps. Neither of them were in the drama club, but the first boy, Devin, was in one of my classes. The other boy I'd met here at the Y over the holiday, since he was friendly with one of the other boys that hung out with me, although I can't remember which one introduced us. If I remembered correctly, his name's Hunter and he didn't hesitate about coming over to say 'hi' to me with his friend.

I talked to them for a few minutes, and then I started swimming laps again. When I stopped to take another break later, they waved and smiled at me, but didn't come over to chat again. After I swam my final set of laps, I got out of the pool and headed toward the locker room. I decided to sit on the bench and rest for a short time before I took my shower, and I was just taking off my swimsuit when the other two entered the locker room.

"Hi, again," they said as they walked past.

I said the same thing in reply, and then I grabbed my towel and went to rinse off. A few seconds later they were entering the shower too, and they were also naked.

"My mom always tells me to shower after I swim here, or else she complains that I smell like chlorine when I get home," Devin said to explain what he was doing.

"Yes, the person who takes care of adding the chemicals to the pool seems to have a heavy hand when it comes to adding the chlorine," I agreed.

"I hope I get you for a teacher next year," Hunter followed. "The other guys say you're a really good teacher, and you're pretty cool too. I like that you come swimmin' here and that you did it with the other boys before. Do you come here a lot?"

"Yes, I like to workout, and I really enjoy how I feel after I'm done for the day," I agreed as I finished washing up and headed back to my locker.

I was amazed that neither boy had tried to cover up when we were in the shower together, but I didn't get the feeling that either of them was gay. They were both just friendly and seemed to be used to showering with others, but I wasn't sure if it was from doing it at school or because they usually did it here before they left. However, I enjoyed checking them out, but it ended up working against me, because it reminded me about how I was going to miss the boys when I got back to the apartment.

After driving there, I grabbed a quick bite to eat, but the entire time I was eating I kept seeing those two naked boys. I also began to see images of the other boys, while at the same time remembering the various things I'd done with them. Needless to say, those thoughts had me hard and in need of getting off, so I decided to masturbate. I hadn't had to do this since the boys started showing up and asking me to do stuff with them, but I expected this might become the norm again, now that I was only going to see them once a week.

After I'd flogged the donkey, I went out and began working on my lesson plans for the upcoming week. I also corrected a few papers, and then I decided to watch TV. There really wasn't anything on that I wanted to see, but I couldn't think of anything else to do, so I kept flipping through the channels until something caught my attention. I continued watching TV until I got ready for bed, and I was already looking forward to seeing the boys at the Y the following afternoon.

I slept fairly well that night and seemed more energetic than normal the following morning. I was thinking about the boys as I fixed breakfast, as well as when I sat down to eat. It had only been a day and a half since we'd last been together, although it seemed more like a week. Next weekend shouldn't be as bad, though, because we'd be getting together later on Saturday and then I'd see them at the Y again on Sunday. I decided this was just another indication of how much I wanted to be with the boys and that I might even be addicted to them.

I got to the Y a little earlier than usual, and then I sat on the bench and waited for the boys to show up. I was thrilled when I saw their smiling faces as they walked toward me, and then they whispered to me before they began undressing.

"I not only used the bat again, but I had to jerk off three times yesterday," Gary told me. "It's awful that we can only be with you once a week."

"Yeah, I had to jerk off a bunch of times too," Nolan confirmed.

"I think we all did," Will added. "Are you sure we can't come over after we get done here?"

"Yes, we've got to be careful."

"Even though me and Tucker spent time together yesterday, it wasn't the same," Jon confessed. "We didn't have no place where we could do somethin' with each other."

"Yeah, this new way sucks," Tucker agreed. "I hope we can start doin' it more often before too much longer."

"We'll keep doing it this way for as long as I think it's necessary," I replied. "Now, let's get changed so we can jump in the pool."

I think they were going to continue arguing with me, but they stopped when Nigel and Rory showed up to join us. Once they were ready too, we went out to the pool and spent a couple of hours playing tag and doing a few other things, and then we returned to the locker room to shower and change.

After I said goodbye to the boys, I returned to my apartment. I immediately began messing around with some things I had to do for school, but images of the boys continued popping into my mind the entire time. It got so bad that I had to masturbate again before going to bed later, to ensure that I didn't have a nocturnal emission. I had a feeling my dreams would be filled with visions of the boys again and that might cause another accident, so I'd rather be safe than sorry. I totally understood why the boys wanted to get together more often, but it would have to wait until I found a new place to live.

Monday was a fairly normal day, until I went to rehearse Act Two with the kids. Tucker pulled me aside as soon as I got there, because he wanted to fill me in about something. "I just talked to Braedon about swimmin' with us. I told him where I live, and he says he doesn't live very far away, so it will be easy to ride his bike there. He also got excited when I told him to just bring his swimsuit and towel cuz we all changed there too. I could tell he was really looking forward to seeing us all naked."

"I'm sure he was, and I'm glad this is going to work out."

The practice went quite well, and the kids did much better than the previous week. I take it they had all spent at least part of the weekend studying their lines, so I was sure Thursdays rehearsal would go just as well.

After Tucker's comment the previous afternoon, I wasn't surprised when Braedon stayed after class so he could speak with me alone on Wednesday. "Me and Tucker talked about swimmin' yesterday. He told me they all take their stuff and change there." He was practically beaming when he was telling me about this.

"Did he tell you that I meet them there, so we can all swim together?"

I thought his eyeballs were going to pop out of their sockets. "No, you do? Does that mean you'll be changin' with us too?"

"Yes, I always change and shower with the boys when we're there together. A couple of other boys usually join us too, but they're not gay." I added the last part in a whisper.

"And they don't care about bein' in with us?"

"They don't actually know the rest of us are gay, so don't do anything that will make them suspicious, like staring at their junk."

"Ok, but this sounds like it's gonna be really great. I already asked my mom and dad if I could go on Sunday, and they only wanted to know who I was goin' with. I just told them some boys from school asked me to join them and I would ride my bike over to one of their houses and ride with them. They said it would be alright for me to go then, so now I can't wait. How many boys will be there?"

"Besides you, there will be seven boys and me."

"I've never done nothin' like this before, and I can't wait. This is gonna be the best thing ever. Thank you for talkin' to me about things and doin' this for me. This really means a lot, and it will help so I don't feel like I'm the only one."

"I'm glad I could help, but you better get going to your next class so you aren't late. If you are, just tell your teacher that I held you after class to have a chat."

"K, and thanks again."

He went rushing out of my classroom without running, and I got ready to start working with my next class. I was glad to see that this had made Braedon's day and gave him something to look forward too, but it would also give me a chance to see him naked, so it was a win-win situation.

Braedon was really friendly to me on Thursday as well, and I don't remember ever seeing him smile as much as he has since I talked to him about his essay. He's seemed especially happy these past few days and was thrilled that there were others at the school who were like him. He was even more excited that he'd get to see them naked too, and I think he was thrilled that he'd be seeing me without any clothes on as well. Now, he just had to hold out until Sunday.

Just as I expected, Thursday's rehearsal went very well, and I took the opportunity to pull each of the boys aside at various points so I could remind them about Saturday. When I spoke with Tucker, he had something else he wanted to tell me.

"Braedon's really excited about swimmin' with us. I don't think he's seen any other naked boys before."

"Yes, I got that impression too."

"I also warned him about Nigel and Rory, and he said you'd already told him about them. I explained about their dicks too, so he wouldn't stare at them. I think Braedon's dick must be like ours, cuz he didn't know that all dicks didn't look the same."

"I'm glad you explained that to him, but I hope you did it so no one else could hear what you were talking about."

"Yeah, we did it after school again, when nobody else was around."

That took care of another concern I had, so I hoped Braedon wouldn't end up staring at Nigel and Rory's penises like Tucker and Jon had done. I didn't think Nigel and Rory would overreact if he happened to do that, though, seeing they'd been so good about explaining it to the other two, but I'd keep my eyes and ears open, just in case.

Friday as Braedon was leaving class, he stayed behind until the other students had left the room, and then as he passed by, he looked at me with a broad smile plastered on his face. "Bye, Mr. Roberson. I'll see you Sunday at the Y."

"Yes, you will, Braedon, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of you."

It took a few seconds for him to catch my meaning, and then he laughed. "Yeah, I'm lookin' forward to seeing more of all of you too."

That afternoon I went home, put a load of laundry in the washer, and then I started fixing something to eat. While the food was in the oven, I went back to the laundry room and moved my things out of the washer and placed them in the dryer. Then, I returned to eat while I waited for the clothes to dry.

I was thinking about the boys the entire time, and I tried to imagine what Braedon was going to look like naked. I already knew a great deal about his build and appearance, so I just had to fill in the blanks concerning his chest and groin. Since he and Tucker were in the same grade and Tucker had already indicated that Braedon was most likely circumcised, I mentally transposed the missing parts from Tucker's body to my image of Braedon. Now, I felt I had a fairly good idea about what to expect.

Just to be on the safe side, I decided to masturbate before I went to bed, to avoid any sticky problems later. I was glad I'd done that by the time I woke up in the morning, because I'd experienced one erotic dream after another about the boys. If I hadn't taken that precaution, not only would I have been a mess, but the bed would probably have had a huge wet spot that wouldn't have been completely dry by the time the boys got here later.

I hurried around and went through my normal morning routine, and then I grabbed my gym bag and headed to the Y for my workout. When I got to the locker room, the same two boys from the previous week were there again. They were sitting on the bench fully dressed, so I wasn't sure if they had just arrived, or if they were getting ready to leave. That question was soon answered for me.

"We weren't sure if you'd be here or not," Devin said as soon as he saw me, and then the three of us began to change.

Devin was the boy who was also in one of my classes. He had black hair, an olive complexion, brown eyes, and a three inch [7½ cm] flaccid, circumcised penis, with a triangular pubic patch above it.

"Yeah, we was hopin' you'd show up again, cuz this time we want to swim laps with you," Hunter added.

He had light brown hair and brown eyes, and his flaccid, circumcised penis was only about two and a half inches [6½ cm] long, with a horseshoe pubic patch above it. I was pretty sure they were both straight, so I wasn't sure why they came here hoping to run into me again.

"I like to work out, and I try to do it fairly hard, but I don't mind if you swim with me, as long as you don't slow me down."

"That's what we was hopin'," Hunter agreed. "We figured doing this would help us get in better shape for lacrosse season."

His comment just explained why they had been so comfortable showering with me, since they probably did it with their team too. As soon as I'd agreed that I didn't mind them swimming with me, I wanted to explain something else before we jumped in the pool.

"I take it easy on the first couple of laps, to give myself time to gradually warm up first, but then I start going much faster."

"Ok, let's get goin' then," Devin agreed.

The boys didn't have any trouble keeping up with me during the first set, and they came toward me when we took our break, so I assumed they were about to say something. "That wasn't so bad," Devin stated.

"Yeah, it wasn't bad at all," Hunter agreed.

"It's the next set of laps when I start swimming even faster, now that my muscles are loose. I do it like I'm competing in a long distance race, so I don't think you'll find this quite as easy."

"That's ok, and we're ready to do that too," Hunter confirmed.

"Yeah, we should be able to keep up with you."

I took that as a minor challenge and went as hard as I could. When I glanced over at them from time to time, I could see they were struggling to keep up this time, but they didn't appear ready to give up. We swam four lengths of the pool, and then I stopped to take another break.

"That one tired me out," Devin gasped, visibly exhausted.

"Yeah, that was a lot harder," Hunter concurred in short, halting breaths.

"Are you gonna swim more?" Devin followed, without sounding quite as bad this time.

"Sometimes I swim another set of laps like the one we just did, but I'm not going to do that this time. Instead, this set will be more like the first set in reverse, and the last couple of laps are designed to wind my body down and work the lactic acid out of my muscles."

"Ok, that sounds good," Hunter replied. "We'll do that with you too."

After swimming the last set of laps, we went to the locker room and sat down for a few minutes to catch our breath. As we were taking off our swimsuits, Hunter asked another question.

"Do you do this every Saturday at the same time?"

"Yes, I do."

"Would you mind if we came and did it with you each week, unless we have a lacrosse game that day?" he followed.

"No, that's fine with me. This is a public pool."

"Yeah, but it's better if we do it with you," Devin countered.

As we were showering, I checked them both out again, while also wondering why they wanted to do this with me. They could always swim laps on their own, because I didn't do anything unusual when I did this, so I wasn't sure why it was so important to them. Neither one seemed to be checking me out, so it wasn't so they could see me naked, then it had to be my charming personality.

After we got dressed, the boys thanked me for letting them swim with me today, and then they said they'd see me next week as they were taking off. I waited a couple of minutes before I left too, so it wouldn't be quite as apparent that we'd been together. I wasn't sure if there might be anyone else around who would attempt to grill them about who I was if they saw us together.

I had a couple of hours to kill before the other boys showed up, so I began working on next week's lesson plans. I had just finished up and put things away when I heard a knock on my door. I couldn't believe that I hadn't left it so they could just come in, so I rushed over to open it for them.

"Sorry, my mistake," I said as they passed by.

"It's ok, and this time your with me," Nolan stated. "I want you to do it like you did with Will, so I can see if you can make me cum too."

"Nothing like getting right to the point," I quipped.

"And remember that I want you to use the blue one on me again," Jon quickly added.

"I haven't forgotten."

"Braedon's really excited about tomorrow," Tucker said next. "He's lookin' forward to seeing all of us with nothin' on."

"Yes, he mentioned that to me on Friday. He's also happy that there are other boys like him, because he didn't think anyone else at school was gay."

"Did you warn him about Nigel and Rory?" Gary gasped, looking concerned.

"Yes, we both did. He understands everything now, so don't worry."

"Ok, that's good."

"Are we gonna get started now?" Nolan followed.

"Yes, we can do that if you're ready."

Nolan wanted to go first, and the others had agreed to watch, since they wanted to see if he'd cum while I was fucking him, just like Will had done. I did everything exactly the same as I'd done it with Will, including placing the towel on the bed in case it happened, but Nolan didn't have a hands-free orgasm.

"It's different for everybody, so don't make a big deal about it," I commiserated when I saw him looking disappointed. "It doesn't happen for everyone."

"That's ok, Mr. Roberson. It still made me feel really good. I thought I was gonna cum, cuz my nuts were all tingly, but then it just didn't happen."

"I'm glad you're not too disappointed."

"Nah, it's ok."

"And I'm goin' next," Jon followed.

"Is it ok with the rest of you?"

They all nodded in response, so I got out the blue dildo and began working on him next. He did much better this time and didn't appear to be in any pain, which mildly surprised me. After I finished with him, he looked at me and smiled.

"So can I do it with Gary now?"

"Before I answer you, do you mind telling me why it went so much easier this time?"

Jon blushed. "Yeah. I found a flashlight that was about the right size, so I put Vaseline on the bottom of it, so I could use it to practice with."

"Well, that certainly answers my question. Ok, you can do it with Gary if you want."

"Yay!" he squealed.

"But I did it with Will the last time," Tucker whined.

"I'd forgotten about that. Would you mind fucking Will again, if we let Nolan fuck you afterward?"

"No, that will be ok."

"Fine, then Will can fuck me after you're done."

I guess that settled all of the problems, but this was starting to become very confusing. I might have to start keeping a list of who was with whom, so I could avoid these problems in the future."

"Is the new kid gonna start doing this with us too?" Nolan asked while he was waiting his turn.

"Maybe eventually, but I want to see how the swimming goes first. He told me his family would hate him if they discovered he was gay, so I don't want to involve him in this if I think his parents might find out. I have a feeling his dad would raise a major stink over it, which would include you boys too."

"K, I just wondered.

Once everyone had their turn, and seeing Jon had done so well with Gary fucking him, I told him he could get in the mix and start doing it with the others from now on. Once the boys left, I began to think about something, because Jon had done this much faster than Tucker. That's when I remembered that Tucker had been hesitant at first, because he was afraid it would hurt, so he was the one who'd slowed himself down. He had me use the smallest dildo on him a lot longer than Jon had, and then Tucker also took a lot longer on the blue dildo too. He also never did anything on his own, so that's why it had gone so much quicker with Jon. I was just glad it had worked out so well for him.

Since my needs had been taken care of, I didn't think about the boys as much for the rest of the day, except for Devin and Hunter. I still hadn't figured out why they were showing up to swim with me, unless it actually was to help them get into shape before the lacrosse season started. They could have done it on their own, but maybe it was so I could push them a little harder, so I guess I'd just have to wait and see if another explanation popped up at a later date.

I also thought about Braedon a couple of times, as I wondered how he was going to fit in with the rest of the group tomorrow. I hoped he had been sufficiently warned so he didn't upset Nigel and Rory, but I didn't expect any trouble from them either, at least not if they wanted to keep swimming with us. Otherwise, we could always change the time we did this together.

I was worn out by the time I went to bed that night, primarily due to the swimming, the sex, and working around the house. I slept like a log the entire night and couldn't remember having had any dreams. That was highly unusual for me as of late, because I think I'd had at least one major dream every night since I started hanging around with the boys.

I puttered around until it was time to leave, and then I headed to the Y, curious about how things were going to work out. I sat and waited for the boys to show up, and they were joking around with each other as they entered the locker room.

"I take it there were no problems with any of you doing this today?" I asked.

"Nah, just that Braedon had to sit on Gary's lap. My mom says we're gonna have to get a bigger vehicle if we keep adding more guys to our group," Nolan explained before laughing.

"Everything went fine, so let's change and get in the pool," Tucker urged.

"Don't you think we should wait for Nigel and Rory to get here, so we can introduce them to Braedon first."

"Oh, yeah. We'd better do that," Gary agreed.

It was only a few minutes later before those two showed up. "Sorry, but our mom was taking her time today," Rory apologized.

"It's ok, and we waited so you could meet Braedon. He's gonna be swimming with us from now on."

I introduced the boys to each other, and then we changed. Braedon was doing his best not to be too conspicuous as he checked out the other boys, but when he turned toward me, he smiled and basically posed so I could get a good look. I think it had to do with the little comment I'd made to him when he left my classroom on Friday. As I expected, he wasn't much different than Tucker, except his penis might have been a tad shorter, and he had a sparser patch of pubic hairs above it as well. Other than that, it was pretty much how I'd pictured him in my mind.

He wasn't shy about checking me out either, and the look on his face told me that he'd never seen a grown man naked before. Since he had already told me about his father, I should have realized that he probably wouldn't have ever seen his dad without anything on, and where else would he have seen another naked man? I took my time and let him satisfy his curiosity, and then I signaled that it was time to put our swimsuits on.

On the way to the pool, we explained to Braedon about what we usually did, and once again there weren't many other people there, so we got to play tag. I think the lifeguard was used to us by now, because he merely nodded and smiled when we entered.

We spent a couple of hours there and had quite a bit of fun. The boys were all laughing and chatting with each other on the way into the locker room, and then we began to take our swimsuits off so we could shower. As soon as we started doing that, Rory looked over at Braedon and spoke.

"We saw you checking everyone else out earlier, so me and Nigel will explain to you about our dicks. You probably noticed that we're not circumcised like the rest of you, but our dicks are still the same, and we'll show you what we mean."

Nigel and Rory then pulled back their foreskin so Braedon could see their knobs, and then they covered them again, before exposing them once more. They did that a few times until Braedon understood the difference.

"I've never seen anything like that before, but I haven't seen another naked boy until today either. Maybe I did when I was really little, but I just don't remember."

"I guess that explains why you were checking everyone else out then. We all do it so we can see how we stack up, and I saw you spendin' a lot of time staring at your teacher's dick too."

Braedon blushed. "Yeah, I've never seen one that big before," he admitted shyly.

That worked out well, because Nigel and Rory didn't automatically assume that Braedon was gay. As far as they were concerned, he was just a curious first timer trying to see how he compared to everyone else. I was glad it had worked out so well.

Once we were all dressed, I said goodbye to the boys and walked with them toward the lobby, but I left right way, before either of their rides showed up. I was thinking about how well that had gone as I was driving home and concluded that I couldn't have planned it any better. I was now interested in seeing if Braedon said anything about this when I saw him in class on Monday, because that might let me know where I'd take things from here.

Chapter 22
Many Distractions

After class ended on Monday, Braedon came up to speak with me. "That was way better than I thought it would be. Did you like what you saw?"

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, and yes, I did. Did you like what you saw?"

"Oh, yeah. It was way cool. I liked what Nigel and Rory showed me too."

"Yes, it was very nice of them to do that for you."

"I can't wait for next Sunday now, and I'm glad you talked the other boys into lettin' me do this with you."

"I'm glad I did too. By the way, did your parents ask you anything about it when you got home?"

"They just wanted to know if I'd had a good time, and I told them it was a blast. They already said I could go again next Sunday, but I think my dad would've freaked out if he knew that we all changed and showered together."

"Then I hope he never finds out, but I'm glad they're going to let you join us again."

"Yeah, me too."

Braedon merely smiled at me the next day in class, but that was enough to let me know that nothing had changed. He was still riding his high from Sunday and looking forward to our next outing.

Later, I was looking forward to rehearsing all of Act One with the kids, and when I got there after my last class ended, Tucker pulled me aside again. "Braedon really liked being with us on Sunday. He said he really liked your dick, and he thought what Nigel and Rory showed him was interesting too."

"I know. He told me the same thing."

"I really like him a lot and I'm glad you asked him to join us."

Once that had been cleared up, we started rehearsal, and the kids did much better this time. Things were really coming together, and we still had another month to work out the kinks before doing it in front of an audience. Bob Krivyanik's group had finished the sets and most of the other set pieces, so we started using them as well, along with the other props. This gave Wayne, Brian, and their crews a chance to get used to dealing with the various items, and although it was a slow process for now, I was convinced they would improve over time.

Nothing else of interest happened until Thursday, when we practiced all of Act Two. It went just as well again, and before we finished I managed to remind all of the boys that we were meeting the next day after school.

"I'm glad, cuz I really need it," Gary said when I told him.

"I'm glad you reminded me, cuz I forgot which day we were gonna meet this time," Will responded when I told him.

"Then I hope you don't forget before tomorrow."

"Oh, I won't."

On Friday, Braedon made sure to speak to me before he left class. "I can't wait to see you again on Sunday," he said before giggling.

"And I can't wait to see you again either." He grinned and then took off for his next class. This was obviously very important to him, so I was glad I'd been able to include him in our little group.

Since the boys were coming over after school today, I rushed out of the building after my last class ended. Even though I knew it would be about an hour before they got here, I wanted to be ready when they arrived. I even stopped at the grocery store on the way there so I could pick up some snacks, because I remembered they were hungry the last time they showed up a Friday. They hadn't taken time to grab anything at home because they were in a hurry to get here, and since they're teenagers, it proved to be a long time since they'd eaten their school lunch. Therefore, I picked up a dozen apple fritters and a galloon of milk, figuring that would take the edge off their grumbling bellies.

When the boys showed up, they were grateful that I'd done this for them and didn't complain that we weren't getting started right away. They began taking their clothes off before they were done, though, because they were still eager to get started. They were all totally naked by the time I'd finished my snack, and they began urging me to hurry up too.

Since they were in such a big hurry to get started, they didn't want to take time to watch me fuck Gary, even though they wanted to see if I could make him cum. Instead, they decided to arrange themselves so they could watch us at the same time, so they lined up side-by-side at the head of the bed, so they were facing us. I put a towel down along the foot of the bed, had Gary get on it, and then I got into position behind him, as we all started fucking our partners.

The other two had already cum and they'd even switched places, but I was still plowing in and out of Gary. By the time I filled the condom with my ejaculate, the boys were indicating they wanted to tell me something. "I think he cummed too," Will stated. "There's a string of something hanging from his dick."

I asked Gary to remain as he was so I could check it out. "I think it's just that he produced a lot more pre-seminal fluids this time, but I don't think it's semen."

"Huh?" Jon and Tucker both responded about the same time.

"He means it's pre-cum, not cum," Will explained using the terms they were more familiar with.

"He just means that Gary didn't cum either," Nolan added.

Since Gary hadn't gotten off yet, he and I switched places so he could fuck me. Seeing he was already so worked up, it didn't take him very long to get off, and he was quickly filling his condom with his own boy spunk.

"I thought you were wrong when you said I didn't cum, but I just felt the difference between cumming and what happened while you were fuckin' me. That had felt really good and made me tingle inside too, but it was different than when I cummed."

"I'm glad you understand and you aren't disappointed. Will's prostate must be a lot more sensitive than yours or Nolan's, so that must be why it happened to him when we're together."

"Yeah, I'm ok," Gary confirmed, "but I kinda wish it had happened to me too."

"Yes, but as I told Nolan, it doesn't happen for everyone."

We quickly cleaned up and got dressed again, but the boys didn't leave right away. They wanted to chat some more, but I suggested we could do that after we put our clothes on, in case someone else showed up at the door. They understood what I meant and agreed with my request, so now we got comfortable and I prepared to answer their questions.

"Have you decided whether you're gonna let Braedon join us?" Gary asked.

"I want to hold off a while longer before I make that decision. From what Braedon has told me, I'm afraid his father might get curious and try to check up on Braedon if he was gone too often."

"So you think he might be a problem?" Nolan followed.

"Braedon's father might be, not Braedon. I feel badly that in a way I'm punishing him because of his dad by not asking him to come here with the rest of you. I'm sure he'd benefit greatly from doing this, but I just don't want to take the chance."

"What if me and Jon start asking Braedon to hang out with us on the weekend when we're not here with you? Do you think his father would get used to him doing that and then not check up on him if we start bringing him over here?"

"That's possible, and I'm sure Braedon would enjoy spending more time with you two, so it can't hurt to try. If you do that, then we can see how his father reacts and if he checks up on Braedon, so don't do anything that would indicate to his father that you boys were gay. According to Braedon, his dad is quite homophobic."

"Ok. Maybe we'll just invite him over to play video games or ride our bikes. I'm sure we can find other things to do too."

"Maybe we should ask him to join the drama club," Jon offered.

"We could, but I'm not sure how his father might react to that. If he's one of those guys who think most people involved in the theater are gay, then he might not allow it. On the other hand, maybe he only thinks the gays are active in musical theater. If that's the case, he probably wouldn't want Braedon to be involved in Oliver!"

"I'll ask Braedon what he thinks about doing it," Tucker offered. "I'll also ask him if he thinks his father will let him join."

"Don't ask him specifically about his father, though. Just ask him if he thinks his parents would let him join the drama club. I don't want him to know that I've mentioned some of these things about his father to you boys. Even though it was only so we can help him, I'm just worried it might upset him."

"Ok, I'll do that then."

"The rest of us could do stuff like that with him too," Will suggested. "Maybe if he's with us most of the time, then his parents won't notice if he comes here with us too."

"That's possible, so you can start asking him to come spend time with you, but don't do it in front of others. I don't want to expose our little group to scrutiny."

"Ok, we can do that too," Will agreed.

"Maybe we can ask him about some of it when he comes swimmin' with us on Sunday."

"Ok, that might work. Just don't do it in front of Nigel and Rory either. I know they've been good about explaining the difference in their penises to each of you, but before they did that, they seemed to be worried that you guys were gay too."

"Yeah, you're probably right," Gary said. "They tell a lot of gay jokes, and some are kinda disgusting."

"Then just be careful when you do this, plus I'm not sure if you're ready for your parents to know about you either."

"I don't think mine would be upset if they knew, but I'm not ready to tell them yet," Nolan admitted.

"Me too," Will added.

"I'm not sure how my parents would react, but I don't want them to find out either," Gary chipped in.

"I'm kinda like Gary," Tucker followed.

"Me too," Jon agreed, ending our discussion.

The boys then got ready to leave, but Will had a question he wanted me to answer first. "When are we gonna do this again?"

"Not this Sunday, but the following Sunday after swimming."

"Damn, that's over a week away!" he snapped back.

"I know, but we have to be careful, so we can only meet once a week. Sometimes it will be less than a week in between, and sometimes it will be a little longer than a week, but we'll have to do that for now."

"I guess it means I'll be jerking off a lot more," Gary groaned.

"Yeah," the others all agreed.

I then said goodbye to the boys and sent them on their way. Even though I hadn't been overly sympathetic to their problem, it was just as hard on me. I wished we could get together every day, not just once a week, although it didn't mean we'd have to do anything sexual each time. I just liked being with them. The sex was a bonus, and of course I enjoyed it too, especially now that the boys wanted me to fuck them as well. I was becoming more and more serious about finding a new place to live as each day passed, but I wouldn't be able to sign a rental agreement until June 1st, since my current lease didn't expire until May 31st.

The rest of the night was kind of a blur after that, because my mind kept leaping from thinking about the boys, getting a new apartment, Braedon, Braedon's father, and seeing Devin and Hunter at the Y the following day. I was mentally exhausted by the time I went to bed, so I hoped I'd be refreshed enough to workout in the morning.

I woke up feeling much better, and was anxious to get to the Y. After I downed a quick breakfast, I grabbed my gym back and headed out to the car. Of course the other two boys were waiting for me when I got there, but once again they hadn't bothered to change first. They took lockers in the same area where I usually changed, and then we all started to undress as we carried on with the typical small talk.

They were confusing me more and more. I still didn't think either one was gay, but they had waited for me, so it seemed as if they wanted me to see them getting undressed. Did they know I was gay and this was just their way of thanking me for letting them workout with me? I wasn't sure, but I hoped not. If they had figured out that I was gay, how many others might have come to the same conclusion?

We went out and followed the same workout routine as the previous week, except I added another set in the middle, and when we finished the boys made a comment. "It didn't seem as bad today, at least not until you had us swim another set of laps like the second set," Hunter acknowledged as soon as we took our final break.

"Yeah, I think we kept up with you better until then, but then we started to fall behind," Devin confirmed.

"It will seem to become easier as you get in better shape."

"Yeah, we know, and that's why we want to do this with you. It will help us get in better shape for lacrosse, and that will help us do better than the other guys," Hunter confirmed.

We got out of the pool and went in to shower together again. I'm not sure if it was my imagination, but both boys seemed to go out of their way to always be facing me when they showered, rather than facing the wall and the shower nozzle. They always selected a spot across from me too, which put them on full display for me, but maybe it was just that they were comfortable showering with others. Or was there a chance that I'd been mistaken and these two weren't quite as straight as I first thought?"

When we finished washing off, we went out, got dressed, and prepared to leave. "Bye, Mr. Roberson. We really enjoy doing this with you," Hunter stated before taking off.

"Yeah, we're glad your such a nice guy and let us do this with you," Devin added.

"Hey, it's no big deal, because you don't affect what I normally do, and I enjoy your company." They both smiled after hearing my last statement.

As I was driving back to my apartment, my head was spinning. I couldn't make heads or tails about what was going on with them. Was I misreading the entire situation, or was I doing the right thing by reading between the lines? I wasn't sure if I'd be able to figure this out either, but I'd enjoy the show while it lasted. I had to admit that I appreciated the fact that they were giving me total visual access to their bodies, which became even more evident after I finished eating lunch. Since I'd been thinking about those two boys during the entire time, I became aroused and had to masturbate afterward, or I'd have ended up walking around with an erection for the rest of the day.

Once that problem had been taken care of, I worked on my lesson plans for the following week, and I was able to get most of it done before thoughts of swimming with the boys the following day began to flood my brain. It still baffled me how images of a bunch of naked teenage boys could so totally distract me from everything else. Once again, I was unable to concentrate on what I was doing, as visions of the boys completely overwhelmed my thoughts and left me incapable of finishing what I'd been doing. Reluctantly, I put everything away and planned on finishing up after I'd enjoyed a temporary 'fix' from my addiction by swimming with the boys and seeing them all naked one more time.

Since I was highly aroused again, I opted to masturbate before turning in. That should be enough to prevent another late night accident and keep me from having to do a quick clean up before going to meet the boys. After successfully taking the situation in hand and flushing the evidence down the toilet, I went through my nightly ritual, crawled under the covers, and fell asleep.

When I got up in the morning, I puttered around doing a bunch of things that didn't require a lot of thought, until it got closer to the time for me to leave. That's when I grabbed my swimsuit and towel and tossed them into the gym bag. Then, I went out to my car and drove to the Y.

I was actually experiencing a slight case of butterflies as I walked back to the locker room, knowing I was going to see Braedon again. I figured he was affecting me more than the others because I saw the rest of the boys naked quite frequently, as well as doing other things with them. Braedon, on the other hand, was new to the group and I'd only seen him naked a couple of times so far. I guess it was the novelty that accounted for these unusual feelings, or was is that I was already thinking ahead to having him join the others when they came to my place? Was I already thinking about having sex with him?

I was sitting on the bench with these thoughts still bouncing around in my head when the boys came bursting into the locker room. They were laughing and joking around as they came walking back to where I was waiting for them.

"Guess what, Mr. Roberson," Braedon began without saying hello first. "These guys want me to do stuff with them besides just comin' here to swim."

"That's great, and I knew you boys would get along. Do you think you're parents will let you do that?"

"Yeah, I think they will, but they'll be surprised too. I don't usually go to other people's houses, but I think it will be alright. I'll just tell my mom and dad that I'm goin' over to be with the guys I go swimmin' with, and I think they'll be happy that I've made some friends."

"That's great, and I'm sure you boys will have a great time together."

He was changing while he was telling me this, and as soon as he removed his underwear, he just stood there and made sure I got a good look. When I winked at him and nodded in approval, he got a huge grin on his face before finally grabbing his swimsuit and putting it on.

Once everyone was ready, we headed out to the pool and ended up doing pretty much the same things as always, but then the boys wanted to race. There had been another guy in the pool when we first got there, so I made the boys wait until after he left before I'd let them start. There were too many of us to race at the same time, so Rory, Gary, and Nolan decided to challenge me. They made me promise that I would try my hardest and not just let them win, so I told them I'd do my best. Once they were satisfied, we agreed to swim to the other end of the pool and back again, so the other boys could determine the winner.

Seeing I was used to doing this, since it was what I did every Saturday when I worked out, the boys didn't stand a chance. They didn't do badly, though, but they were more than a body length behind me when the race ended. The other boys said those three all came in about the same time, so we declared they'd all finished in second place. Once we were done, the other four went next, and Nigel beat them by about a half a body length. We didn't swim any more after that, because the other boys got discouraged when Nigel told them Rory was always a better swimmer than he was. I think Jon, Tucker, Braedon, and Will realized they wouldn't stand a chance against the rest of us and decided to call it quits.

We horsed around for a while longer, and then we headed to the locker room to shower and change. I noticed that Braedon made sure to take the shower next to the one I was using and kept turning toward me. I wasn't sure if he was checking me out, or if he wanted to give me a good look at his body again, but he was always smiling whenever I looked in his direction.

After we finished up, we dried off and changed, and I said goodbye to all of the boys before I left. At one point I thought Braedon was going to give me a hug, but then he thought about what he was going to do and changed his mind. I don't think he was ready to do it in front of the others, for fear that they might make fun of him. I was just happy that he hadn't done anything like that in front of Nigel and Rory.

I couldn't stop thinking about Braedon for the rest of the day. Was he merely grateful that I was the one who'd set this up for him, or was there more involved? Did he have a crush on me like Tucker and Jon had, although they might be over it already? I was beginning to think his gratitude for introducing him to the boys and helping him make friends might have morphed into something else, but for now I'd just take it that he was being friendly.

After thinking about that for a while, I was able to finish up my lesson plans so I was ready to start the new week. The drama club would be doing exactly what we did the week before, practicing Act One on Monday and Act Two on Thursday, so there was nothing special I would have to do to get ready for that either.

Now that everything was done, I was able to relax for the rest of the night. I got online and did a little research that I'd been putting off, and by the time I finished I noticed it was time to turn in. I didn't want to face the kids when I was tired, so I rushed through my nightly routine and jumped into bed.

I was in my classroom the next morning, getting ready for the day, when Tucker came rushing in. "Whoa! Slow down. What are you doing here already?"

"I wanted to tell you somethin' and I didn't want to wait until I saw you at rehearsal later. Me and Braedon was talkin' after we got back from swimmin' yesterday, and he told me somethin' I thought you should know."

"Really? What in the world could be that important?"

"He was telling me how he really liked you, but then he said he thought you liked lookin' at him when he was naked. After that, he asked if I thought you might do stuff with him. When I asked what he meant by that, he said he wanted to know if you might like to play with his cock and do other stuff with him."

"What did you say when he asked you that?"

"I told him I didn't know, but you were a really nice guy."

"I had a feeling he liked me, but I didn't realize he was thinking about doing other stuff with me too."

"Yeah, do you think we should let him start comin' with us from now on?"

"No, not yet. Not until we see how his parents react to him spending time with you boys. I want to see if they let him do it without checking up on him to see what he's up to."

"Then will you let him start comin' with us?"

"Not just yet. If he's able to spend time with you boys and his parents don't complain, I may have you bring him over here one day, kind of like you did with Jon. I think I should talk to Braedon about what he has in mind first, so I could see exactly what he's after. If he has the right attitude about it and doesn't just want me for himself, I might do something with the two of you for a while first, until he gets used to it and catches up to you and Jon."

"So I'd get to do it twice a week again?"

"Yes, I guess you would, but you'd only be able to do the same things I'm doing with Braedon. I don't want you to tell the others if we do that, though, because they'd be upset that you were the only one able to do it."

"K, but when do you think we'll be able to do it?"

"Are you and Braedon getting together during the week too?"

"We haven't done it yet, but we're gonna do it tomorrow."

"Well, let me know what you boys decide. I won't do anything like that for a few weeks, though, because I want to make sure his parents aren't checking up on him first. Did you say anything to him about joining the drama club?"

"Not yet, but I will. He's comin' over to my house tomorrow after school."

"Ok, then I'll see you at rehearsal later."

Fortunately, we were able to get that out of the way before school started, because somehow he'd been allowed into the school early to come see me. I wasn't sure if he'd snuck in or had convinced one of the teachers or school security that he needed to talk to me before school started, but we'd done it all before the rest of the students were allowed in. Now, I'd have something else to think about in between classes.

Chapter 23
Expanding Horizons

When I went to rehearse with the drama club on Thursday, Tucker and Jon both wanted to fill me in about what had happened over the past couple of days.

"Braedon came to my house on Tuesday, and we didn't see his parents nowhere."

"And he came to my house yesterday, and we didn't see his parents then either," Jon added.

"That's good. Maybe they're starting to trust him then. Did you ask him about joining the drama club?"

"Yeah, I did," Tucker confirmed. "He asked his parents and they told him they thought he should wait until next year, after he told them we'd already put on one play and were just about ready to put on another one."

"At least they didn't say no, and they might be right. Maybe it will be better if he waits until next year."

"Yeah, cuz it's too late for him to be in this play too," Jon agreed.

"Is he in the chorus?"

"I don't remember ever seeing him there, but I didn't really know him that well before, and there are a lot of kids in chorus," Jon answered.

"I don't remember seeing him in the chorus either, but then again I was basically only looking to see who was in it from the drama club and who was singing the solos."

Once that had been discussed, I started the rehearsal. We'd be putting it on in three weeks, so there were only five practices left. Next week we'd rehearse Act One on Monday and Act Two on Thursday again, but the final three rehearsal would be the entire play at one time. We'd continue to make any additional adjustments so the performance would come off smoothly when we put it on in front of others.

On his way out of class on Friday, Braedon stopped to chat with me again. "I've been spendin' time with Tucker and Jon this week."

"Yes, they've told me. Are you boys having fun?"

"Yeah. I like bein' with them, 'stead of bein' alone."

"Yes, I'm sure that must be much better."

"And I can't wait until Sunday," he added with a grin before rushing out the door and heading to his next class.

That night I started thinking ahead to the next day, wondering what Hunter and Devin might do next. It had pretty much been the same thing for the past couple of weeks, in that they waited for me to arrive before changing, kept up with me while I was working out, and then they made sure I got to see all of them while we're showering. Was I missing something? Was there a reason why they were behaving this way?

I continued to think about this for the rest of the night, because I had yet to figure out what they were up to. I know they'd told me it was so they could get in shape for lacrosse season, but I had a feeling there was something they weren't saying. I just couldn't figure out what it was. I still didn't have any answers to this dilemma by the time I went to bed, so I tried to push it from my mind so I could fall asleep.

When I got to the Y the next morning, both boys were waiting for me in the locker room, still in their regular clothes. As soon as they saw me, they said hi and then started to change. Hunter waited until we were both completely naked before he asked a question. "Mr. Roberson, is there anything you can do to make sure I'm in one of your classes next year?"

He then continued to stand there naked, just looking at me, as he waited for my reply. I didn't know if he thought giving me a good look at his package would help him get the answer he was looking for, but he didn't move until I responded.

"Hunter, I don't even know what grade or grades I'll be teaching next year. This year I was the last teacher hired in the English department and ended up with the classes that were left over, so I'm teaching at least one class in every grade. I have no idea if it will be the same next year, or if I might be assigned to just one grade level."

"Ok, but can you try, if you're able?"

"Look, I know Devin is in my eighth grade class, so I thought you were in the eighth grade too. If you are, then you'll be at the high school next year, unless you're held back."

"Nah, I'm only in seventh grade this year. Me and Devin have known each other for a couple of years now, and this year we hope to be on the lacrosse team together."

"So you're trying out for the eighth grade lacrosse team?"

"Nah, it's the modified team, which means both seventh and eighth graders are on it."

"I didn't know that. Look, I can't make any promises, but if I happen to be teaching any eighth grade classes next year, I'll talk to the head guidance counselor and see if there's any way to get you in one of them."

"Thanks, I knew you were a nice guy," he said as he stepped toward me and threw his arms around my waist as he gave me a big hug. I wasn't sure what Devin was thinking, because Hunter was doing this while we were both completely naked, but I certainly hoped no one else was around to see what was going on.

When he eventually released me, I looked over at Devin and he had a huge grin on his face. "He really likes you and wants to be in one of your classes. I told him I've enjoyed English more this year than ever before, so I guess he just wants to make sure he can see that for himself."

"Yeah, I guess so," I replied as I started putting on my swimsuit.

I think I'd been too mortified to become aroused while Hunter was hugging me, but I wondered how either he or Devin would have responded if I'd sprouted an erection. I'd been looking at Devin, so I didn't notice if Hunter might have been even slightly aroused by what he'd just done, but I hadn't felt anything like that bumping against me. I only hoped what just happened was merely a spontaneous reaction to show how grateful he was that I had made a minor concession by agreeing to do this for him. However, the more times things like this happened, the more it caused me to wonder about what the hell was going on.

We went to the pool and worked out like we normally did, and nothing more was said about what had just happened in the locker room. We were all quite tired by the time we finished up, since I'd decided to double up on the middle set again, so I knew I was too exhausted to get hard while we were in the shower.

Once we were all standing under the spray, with those two across from me again, Hunter spoke up. "I think I'm more tired today than I was last week."

I wasn't sure if he was doing this so I'd looked up and notice his body, but I decided to answer. "Yes, I pushed us all a little harder today, since you boys said it would help to get you in shape."

"Yeah, it will, but that was really rough."

"Well, the desired improvements won't happen unless you really push yourself."

"Yeah, we know, that's why we're doin' this with you."

I finished washing off by this point, so I left the other two still rinsing off and went out to change. Before long they came out to join me, and Hunter quickly asked me another question while he was drying his hair with the towel. "Are you in a hurry or somethin'?"

"Yes, I have a lot to do when I get back to my apartment, so I felt I'd better get my butt in gear. I enjoyed working out with you again, but I've got to get going."

I finished dressing and started to leave. "Bye, Mr. Roberson. See you next Saturday," Hunter said as I was walking away.

"Yeah, I'll see you then," I confirmed before opening the door.

As I was driving home, all I could think about was Hunter. He talked to me the most when he had nothing on, so I wasn't sure if that was just a coincidence, or if he did it so I'd notice his body. If he wasn't gay, then why did he keep doing this? Devin hadn't said much today, but he seemed to enjoy watching what Hunter was doing, so was it planned, or did he just get a kick out of his friend's antics? I was sooo confused."

I tried to stop thinking about it as I did the laundry, fixed something to eat, and then cleaned the apartment. I was attempting to keep busy so I wouldn't dwell on those questions, because I wasn't finding any answers and it was driving me crazy. After the workout and doing all of those chores, I sat down on the sofa to relax and dozed off within a few minutes.

I slept for about an hour and then woke up feeling much better. I'd also put those other questions out of my mind, at least temporarily, and went on with the rest of my day. I was already thinking about the week ahead, while also looking forward to seeing the other boys the next day. Those things kept my mind occupied until I went to bed later.

I woke up looking forward to getting my 'fix' and seeing the boys again. It consumed my thoughts as I ate and did a few other things, and then I got ready to head over to the Y. I got there ahead of the boys again, just like I normally did, and then I waited for them to arrive. Unlike previous weeks, Nigel and Rory showed up before the others did, so I wondered if there was a problem. When the rest of the boys arrived, I got the answer to my question.

"My mom's car wouldn't start, so she had to get my dad to jump it with his car," Nolan announced. "I think we might be getting a new one now, since this wasn't the first time she's had problems with it, and we need more room to bring everyone here now."

"Did your dad say you were getting a new vehicle? From what you just told me, it sounds like her car only needs a new battery."

"No, other things have been going wrong with it too. It just happened to be the battery today."

"Ah, I see."

We all got changed and went out to spend time in the pool. We had just finished playing a game of tag when Nigel came over to say something to me. This was highly unusual, because he and Rory generally spent their time with the other boys and didn't interact much with me, except for playing tag, so I wondered what was up.

"Me and Rory started doing this so we could spend time with the other guys, cuz we hadn't seen them since we moved away, but it's been a lot of fun too. We like having you do this with us too, and the other guys said that's why they started comin' here, so they could spend time with you."

"Yes, we've become close since they joined the drama club, and we just happened to run into each other here one day, and then they decided to start coming when I was here."

"I can understand why. We don't got no teachers we feel as close to, as they do to you."

"That's too bad, but I'm glad they enjoy doing these things with me."

I thought it was nice of Nigel to tell me this, so now I knew they just weren't showing up because of the other boys. It might have been their initial reasoning, but now they enjoyed interacting with me as well. I felt honored.

We continued to mess around in the pool for another hour before we got out to shower and change. All of the boys were joking around with each other, and Nigel and Rory had become much friendlier to the other boys too, not just with Gary, Nolan, and Will. I was glad to see that as well, even though the others were also younger than them.

The boys all said goodbye to me as we were getting ready to leave, but Braedon added a personal note to it. "I'll see you in class tomorrow. I'm really glad I got you for one of my teachers this year."

"I'm glad too," I concurred. "Nolan, do you want me to wait around until your mom shows up, just in case she has another problem?"

"Nah, my dad's home, so he can help her if that happens. I hope they decide to get another vehicle, though, cuz it's gettin' kind of cramped in this one. Maybe they'll even let me help pick it out."

"They might, but I think they'll have other considerations before selecting one, other than just which one you might like."

"I know, but I'm gonna try."

This was one of the few times when I got home and wasn't totally consumed by thoughts of the boys. Oh, I replayed seeing them naked again, and I was slightly disappointed that they wouldn't be showing up at the apartment in a little while, but that had been my choice. I couldn't afford to keep taking so many chances that would allow others to figure out what we were up to, so I had to cut back. I hadn't heard any more from Jennifer recently, so maybe I'd nipped that situation in the bud before a problem arose.

The school week started off well, and I was pleased with how well my students had been doing. After we first got back from Christmas break, I started off with a literary assignment and had the kids read different books at each grade level. That went over fairly well, but now we were working on grammar and writing assignments, so I thought they'd lose their enthusiasm, but the change was so slight that it was barely noticeable. I guess they didn't mind writing, as long as they liked the topic.

The drama club held the final divided practices during the week, practicing Act One on Monday and Act Two on Thursday. The kids were doing really well with their lines, but they also weren't being overly dramatic when acting out the parts, as often happened with novice actors. I had to laugh the first time Nolan actually kissed the girl playing Becky Thatcher, though, because his facial expression afterward made it appear as if he'd just bitten into a lemon. Up to this point, we'd just said, "Tom kisses Becky at this point", but they never actually did it, so I thought I'd better say something to him.

"Nolan, you can't look quite so disgusted after kissing Julie."

"I didn't," he replied, and then he looked at me as if I had two heads.

"Yes, you did. It almost appeared as if you had just swallowed some foul tasting medicine, because your face was all scrunched up as you pulled away."

"Really?"

"Yes, and the other kids might get the impression that you don't like kissing girls."

"I guess I could just tell them she had bad breath or somethin like that', and it's why I reacted that way."

"I'd rather you didn't make her sound bad to cover what you did."

"Ummm, what if I just say I didn't like her deodorant then?"

"That's better, because it's not really about her."

"Ok, I'll do that then, if anyone asks."

"Fine, but try not to act that way during the rest of our rehearsals, or when you do it in front of an audience. Remember, Tom's supposed to have a crush on Becky."

"Yeah, I know, so I'll remember that when I have to kiss her again, and I'll try to do better."

"I hope you do."

I don't think anyone else heard us when I discussed the situation with him, because I'd pulled him aside after practice ended. He seemed to take my comment seriously, so I didn't feel I'd have to mention it to him again, but I was looking forward to seeing how he did at our next rehearsal on Monday.

By the time Friday rolled around, I was more than ready for the weekend. I was slightly disappointed that I wouldn't be seeing the boys until Sunday, because they'd be coming over after we finished swimming this week, so I'd see them twice in one day. That meant I'd have to get through Friday and Saturday before we got together, so I'd have to bite the bullet for a couple more days. At least I'd be seeing Devin and Hunter in the morning at the Y, so at least I'd have a couple of naked boys to gawk at to tide me over.

That thought proved to be both interesting and prophetic when I got to the locker room the next morning. Not only were Devin and Hunter sitting and waiting for me where I usually changed, but there was another boy with them too.

"Hi, Mr. Roberson," Devin greeted me. "I hope you don't mind, but I invited another lacrosse player to join us while we're working out."

"So I see."

"His name's Gabe and he's an Indian," Devin added.

"No, I'm not," Gabe vociferously objected. "Indians are from India. My family is Native American."

"I'm glad to meet you, Gabe," I stated as I reached out to shake his hand. "Is it just Gabe, or is that short for Gabriel?"

"It's short for Gabriel, but don't ask me to blow my horn," he replied. "A lot of people do that when they first meet me, and it's why I just go by Gabe."

"Don't worry. The archangel analogy never crossed my mind," I assured him. "The only thing I want to know is if Devin warned you about how hard I work out?"

"Yeah, he did. He said it was helping him get in shape for the team this year, so I wanted to do it too. I hope you don't mind that he brought me with him."

"No, not at all, as long as you keep up and don't slow me down."

"I'll try not to, but I haven't done this before like Devin and Hunter, so I might be more outta shape."

"Tell you what then. I was planning to do four sets today, with the middle two being the hardest, so if you want to, or you need to, you can just sit out the third set. We take a short break between each set to catch our breath, so I'll just remind you when we get to that point."

"Ok, and thanks. I'm glad you don't mind me doin' this with ya."

"Not at all."

As soon as we finished that discussion, we started getting undressed. Just like the other two, Gabe didn't try to cover himself or hide his goodies from me, so I take it this was due to changing in the locker room with the rest of the team. Gabe had black hair and brown eyes, and I soon discovered that he had a three inch [7½ cm] flaccid, uncircumcised penis, with a black, curly, triangular bush above it. Since the other two had glanced over at him while he was changing and didn't comment on his penis, I assumed that discussion had probably already occurred when they were on the team the previous year.

Once we'd put our swimsuits on, we went out and jumped in the pool, ready to begin. "Gabe, the first couple of laps are fairly easy, but then we start to pick up the pace. It's the second and third set where we go all out, and then the fourth set is our warm down."

"Ok, I understand."

We then started swimming laps. I was glad the pool was still fairly empty of other people, because we took up more room now, since we'd added another boy. Gabe did fairly well on the first set, which I expected he would, but by the time we finished the second set, he was about a half a lap behind us.

"He's a long-sticker on defense, so he doesn't run as much," Devin offered to explain why Gabe was lagging behind.

He didn't give up, though, and finished the set, and then I gave him a reminder, once he'd had a chance to catch his breath. "You can sit out the next set if you want, because it will be a repeat of what we just did."

"Ok, I think I'll do that this time, but next week I want to try doing all of it with you guys."

"Maybe jogging around your neighborhood in between will help to prepare you to do that," I offered, although I wasn't sure if he'd actually heed my suggestion.

The rest of us finished the next set without him, took another short break, and then we all started the final set together. We swam the next two laps at about three-quarters speed, before finishing up the last two laps at about half-speed, as we brought our heart rates back down. After we finished, we stopped long enough to catch our breath, and then we headed back to the locker room to shower and change.

Once we'd all stripped down and were in the shower room, I noticed that Gabe took the shower next to mine, while the other two were across from us. "That was harder than I thought it was gonna be," Gabe said as he looked at me, "but I think it will do me a lot of good."

"I'm sure it will, if you keep at it," I agreed.

"It gets easier for me every time," Hunter quickly chimed in. I had a feeling he was trying to draw my attention away from looking at Gabe so I'd focus on him.

It wasn't that I'd been staring at Gabe's family jewels, because I'd been looking at his face while we spoke, but since Hunter was farther away, so I got a glimpse of all of him when I turned in his direction.

"Yes, I told you that would happen, so keep at it."

"Oh, we plan to," he and Devin agreed.

We finished up in there, dried off, and changed. Then I said goodbye to the boys and said I'd see them again the following week before I took off. On the drive back to my apartment, my thoughts were filled with several different issues. First, was about Gabe and the fact that Devin had invited him to join us without checking with me first. He could have done that, because Devin's in one of my classes. I wasn't upset, though, just mildly surprised he'd done it on his own, but after seeing how out of shape Gabe was, I understood why Devin had invited him. I just hoped he didn't invite too many more of his teammates, or we'd have to start doing our workout in shifts, because there wouldn't be room for all of us to go at the same time.

The other issue was that I wondered if Hunter was intentionally vying for my attention when I was chatting with Gabe. Did he speak to me because he was jealous that I wasn't focusing on him at the time, or was it just a coincidence? I had a feeling there was more to it than just my imagination, so those situations filled my thoughts for the rest of the day.

Chapter 24
Another Triumph

The next two rehearsals for the play went extremely well and the actors and the stage crew were all in synch. Nolan was true to his word and kept his promise, because he didn't make a face either time when he had to kiss Julie, since we'd practiced the entire play both times. In fact, he almost made it seem as if he was actually enjoying kissing her this time, even though it was only a peck on the lips, but it was enough to elicit some light-hearted teasing from Wayne and Brian.

Gabe showed up to swim with us again on Saturday, and this time he did a little better. He was only a couple body lengths behind us on the second set, and then did the third set with us too. Even though he fell slightly more than three-quarters of a lap behind us when we finished that set, it was progress. He also told me when we were showering that he'd also jogged around his neighborhood every day as I'd suggested, and he was feeling much better now. He then said he didn't think he would get beat as often this year, cuz now he'd be able to keep up with the other team's attackers.

Hunter seemed to be vying for my attention again, seeing I was spending so much time talking to Gabe, but I still hadn't figured out why he was doing it. Was he just one of those kids who needed to be the center of attention all the time, or did he only do this when he was with me? I wasn't sure, but I didn't want to ask the other teachers if he was like that in his classes, because then they'd want to know why I asked. I guess I'd just have to keep my eyes open and see what I could figure out.

Hunter, in particular, was upset when I told him and the others that I wouldn't be there the following weekend, since the drama club would be performing the next play for the parents. He asked if I could do it after the play, but I had to tell him I had plans for then too, although I didn't tell him the reason. It was because the boys would be coming over to fool around. Before he had a chance to ask if we could do it on Sunday instead, I told them they'd just have to workout on their own this one time and I'd see them the week after. The other two didn't seem to have a problem with doing this, but Hunter was definitely pouting over the fact that I wouldn't be there with him the following Saturday.

I kept thinking about Hunter's reaction for the rest of the day, while at the same time looking forward to being with the other boys tomorrow. I just hadn't been able to figure Hunter out. I was pretty sure he wasn't gay, but might he be bi? Then, I had another thought. I didn't know anything about his home life, so was it possible that he didn't have a father figure at home and was he latching onto me to fill that role for him now? I was kind of young to be his dad, although I could have been an older brother, but was that what this was all about? Was he doing this and trying to get me to learn everything about him so I'd take him under my wing and be the strong male he was looking for, and possibly even needed? I wasn't sure, but it would explain the situation better than anything else I'd come up with.

Now that I had a potential answer to this dilemma that had been bothering me, I focused on the upcoming week with the drama club. On Wednesday we'd have our final rehearsal, wearing costumes but not makeup, and then on Friday we'd have our dress rehearsal in front of the student body. On Saturday we'd be putting it on for the parents, which was why I wouldn't be at the Y with Devin, Hunter, and Gabe, and then I'd have a short break until we began work on Oliver!

I decided to go out for dinner that evening, and as I was leaving the apartment I ran into Jennifer. It was one of the few times I'd seen her since she had brought down the cookies for us. "Is it this Saturday when the kids will be putting on the play?"

"Yes, we'll be doing it at noon on Saturday."

"Great! I'm coming to see it, but I haven't been able to talk Duane into joining me."

"No problem, and I look forward to seeing you there."

"Thanks, but I haven't seen the boys around very much lately."

"Not as much, but they've still been around. In fact, I expect they'll be showing up tomorrow at some point, so we can go over their lines again before Saturday."

"Don't you do that at rehearsals?"

"We do, to a certain extent, but during rehearsals we mainly focus on how it's being said and how they move around the stage. When we do it here, we focus on how precisely they follow the script."

"Oh, ok. I see now how you do things."

"Well, I'm heading out to eat, so I'll see you at the play on Saturday. We're performing it in the Middle School auditorium."

"I know exactly where that is, so I'll see you there."

Hopefully, that had cleared up any questions she had about what we were doing and why the boys had been coming over. If we're lucky, seeing the boys in action on the stage would remove any other ideas she might have harbored about why the boys were coming over so often. At least, that's what I hoped.

I went to the diner, and while I was waiting for my order, I thought about my conversation with Jennifer. Since I'd given her a reason for why she might see the kids the next day, I wondered if she would try bringing them another treat, knowing they'd be there? Or would she just figure we had a lot on our plate and leave us alone? I couldn't be sure, so the boys might have to wait a while before we started having fun.

After I'd finished my meal and returned to the apartment, I focused on being with the boys the next day and wondered what they were going to want to do. Of course, I knew fucking would be involved, but would they want to do it simultaneously again, seeing I was going to make them wait first to see if Jennifer showed up? Would they also want to turn the TV on again to mask the noise, and if they did, might it cause a different problem? Since I'd told her we'd be practicing lines, would the sound of the TV alert her that it wasn't what we were doing? Since having the TV on while we were practicing might be an issue, I continued to give it some more thought.

I had pretty much decided what we were going to do by the time I was ready to go to bed, so I hurried through my nightly ritual and slid under the covers, as I prepared to sleep. During the night I dreamt that Jennifer showed up at my apartment shortly after the boys got there.

When I awoke, I interpreted the dream as a subconscious signal to prepare me for that eventuality. I continued thinking about it as I went through my morning routine, and then I loaded up my gym bag with my swimsuit and towel before heading to the Y. The boys were all waiting for me when I got there.

"We all beat you today," Braedon teased when he saw me.

"Yes, you did, so I take it there was no car trouble today?"

"That's kinda why we're early," Nolan responded. "My mom and dad went out ahead of time to make sure the car was gonna start, and when it did, Mom told me to hop in and call everyone else to tell them we were on the way."

"Yeah, I was glad Jon and Braedon showed up at my house early today," Tucker confirmed.

"We was just in a hurry to get here," that pair offered in explanation.

We'd all began to undress while we were talking, so it wasn't long before we were heading out to the pool. After going through our normal routine, we went back to shower and change, but the other boys had to watch what they said in front of Braedon, Nigel, and Rory. I think they wanted to say they'd see me in a little while, but they couldn't do it in front of the other three, since they would be curious about what they meant. I was glad they had remembered to keep quiet about it, but Braedon still reminded me that he'd see me in class the following day.

It was about forty minutes later before the first three boys showed up, but Jon and Tucker didn't get there for another ten minutes. "What took you guys so long?" Gary asked when they finally arrived. "We waited for a few minutes for you, but when you didn't show up we just came here."

"Braedon wanted to hang out with us today and didn't want to leave, so we had to convince him that we had other stuff to do instead," Jon responded.

"And then he wanted to know what was so important, so we had to make up excuses about doing stuff with our families," Tucker added.

"It's really not a problem, because we're going to have to wait a while before we get started anyway."

"Why?" Will challenged. "We're all here now."

"I know, but I ran into my neighbor Jennifer yesterday, the one who brought us the cookies. She wanted to know if it's next Saturday when we'll be putting on the play, because she's planning on coming to it. She also said she hadn't seen you boys around as much lately, so I told her you'd be here today to practice your lines for next week. I have a feeling she might show up bearing some sort of gift again, and I don't want us to be nude when that happens."

"What if she doesn't show up?" Tucker followed. "Then we'll have just wasted time."

"I think it would be better to waste a little time, than to get caught with our pants down, if you catch my drift." The boys giggled over the idiom I'd just used.

We continued talking, and eventually we were interrupted by a knock on the door. I merely winked at the boys to let them know I thought it was Jennifer, without saying "I told you so." When I opened the door, Jennifer was standing there with a platter again.

"I baked brownies this morning, so I brought some down for you and the boys. I also wanted to wish them good luck this week."

"Thank you, and would you like to come in and tell the boys yourself?"

"Only quickly, because I don't want to mess things up while you're practicing."

She carried the platter around and offered each of the boys a brownie as she wished them good luck. They, in turn, thanked her and told her we had a rehearsal on Wednesday and then we'd be doing it in front of the school on Friday, before putting it on for the parents on Saturday.

"I know. Your teacher told me and I'm coming on Saturday to see how you do."

"We did great, the last time," Gary replied. "I just hope we do as good this time, cuz me and Nolan have got the biggest parts."

"I'm sure you'll do fine," she said trying to encourage them.

She then said goodbye and we thanked her again for the brownies. As I was walking Jennifer to the door, I told the boys they could go out to the kitchen and pour themselves a glass of milk to wash the brownie down. While I was closing the door behind Jennifer, I was glad I'd taken this precaution.

"Damn, you were right," Will said. "You must be psychotic or something."

"I may be that too, but I think the word you were looking for is psychic – a person who can see into the future."

"Then what's psychotic?" he followed.

"It's a mental illness where a person loses touch with reality." Suddenly, the other boys started laughing.

"Way to go, Will. You just called Mr. Roberson crazy," Nolan teased.

"I didn't mean that! I meant the other word he used. I just got confused," Will responded, flustered.

"It's ok, Will. I didn't take offense and knew you'd just confused the two words, but now you should know the difference, so you don't do that to someone else."

"What's the right word again?" he asked.

"Psychic. Just take the 'ot' out of the word you used."

"Oh, ok." I think he felt better when he heard me explain that the words were very similar.

Now that this had been cleared up and we'd finished the milk and brownies, the boys were ready to get down to business. "We'd better all do it at the same time again," Jon pointed out. "I don't want my parents askin' why I've been gone so long."

"Good point, and that's what we'll do," I agreed, as Will began to speak.

"I'm with you again, Mr. Roberson," he said as he moved closer.

"When do I get a turn with Mr. Roberson," Jon followed.

"After you can take that huge dildo in your butt," Tucker answer. "The one that's way bigger than the blue one."

"I guess I'd better find a bigger flashlight to practice with then," Jon stated, causing the others to giggle.

Since I was with Will again, I went to get a towel to put on the floor under him before I undressed. The boys were all naked and semi-hard by the time I got back. "Hmmm, it's looks like you guys are ready for some action," I teased as I noticed their condition.

"Yeah, cuz we've had to wait over a week," Gary responded.

Gary was with Tucker today and Nolan was with Jon. The two younger boys were already to enter the older pair as I was taking off my boxer briefs. Will had put the towel down and was on all fours on it, as I slipped on the condom, added some lube, and then lubed his butt. As I was sliding into him, it elicited a verbal approval. "Ahhh, I've been waiting three weeks for you to do this with me."

He obviously had been looking forward to me fucking him again, so I didn't waste any time and got started. I didn't take it easy this time and pounded his butt, since I knew that's what he wanted. The other pairs had already switched, and Will and I had been going at it for about fifteen or twenty minutes when I felt his body begin to tighten up around my penis. I knew this meant he was having an orgasm.

"Shit. He did it again," Gary gasped. "I wish that would happen to me."

"Me too," Nolan added.

I couldn't say anything, because when Will's muscles contracted around my penis, it hastened my orgasm as well. Within a matter of seconds, I was filling the condom with my semen, while at the same time thinking I was glad that I'd put the towel under him again.

Even though Will had just cum, I asked if he still wanted to fuck me. "Nah, I enjoyed that way more, because I blew my load too. We better get goin', though, cuz we've been here longer than usual already."

"Ok, as long as you're satisfied."

"Oh, yeah. I'm very satisfied," he commented as he gave me a very toothy grin.

Since the others had all finished too, we cleaned up quickly and got dressed. I also wadded the towel up and tossed it in with the dirty clothes, before I said goodbye to the boys and sent them on their way.

From that moment on, the boys and I turned our total attention to the play. It consumed our thoughts until Wednesday, when the kids changed into the clothes they were going to wear for the play. I'd told the boys they should wear jeans, either ones they'd outgrown but could still fit into, or a pair that was too big for them, to make it look like hand-me-downs from an older sibling. I told them to roll the pant legs up a couple of times too, and I also suggested they wear an old, ratty, short sleeve, button down shirt. When I saw them, they all looked adorably appropriate for the play.

The girls, on the other hand, had been advised to wear the plainest dresses they could find, and they might also wear ankle socks with dark shoes or boots. Once again Gina Atkins helped them pick out something appropriate and offered to alter them if necessary, and then she oversaw the girls while they were getting ready. I was very pleased when I saw them dressed up, because Gina had added bows to their hair as well.

The practice was nearly flawless, with only one minor error. One of the girls slipped when she was trying to move quickly at one point and fell, but it was due to the bottom of her shoes being so smooth. I wasn't sure what she had in mind, but she said she'd fix the problem before Friday.

After the rehearsal, I had even more confidence as we moved closer to the Friday and Saturday performances. The kids were excited, especially Nolan and Gary, because they'd done a marvelous job on Wednesday. Mr. Baldwin had told me the assembly would be held at the same time as the previous play, and he was also having two different aides cover for Gina and me again. I thanked him for doing that and promised I'd leave something for the classes to do that would keep them occupied.

Ironically, I was the one getting nervous the closer we got to lunch period on Friday, because it meant I'd be meeting up with the kids soon, so they could change into their costumes. I'd kept those things in the storage room again so they wouldn't forget anything, and I'd taken the girls' costumes to the nurse's office, where they would be changing. Even though I was nervous, I was able to eat a little before heading to the auditorium and unlocking the storage area. As soon as the lunch period ended, the boys started showing up, ready to change and have me apply their makeup.

For a few minutes, there was a whole slew of boys walking around in just their underwear as they got ready to put on the various items they were going to wear. I noticed a few of the boys had some pretty decent bulges, so it looked as if puberty had struck them early, as well as hard, and genetics had been good to them.

As soon as the first boys were ready, I sat them down at the counter I'd rigged up, complete with decent lighting so I could see well enough to put on their makeup. It took me longer this time, because there were more than twice as many boys involved in this play, so the girls had to wait until I'd finished up with them. Fortunately, Gina had done some of the work already, and there was one less girl in this play than the last.

I finished up as the other students were filing into the auditorium and taking their seats, so I went to check with Wayne and Brian to make sure the first scene of Act One was set, along with the props. They assured me everything was taken care of, so I peeked through the curtain so I could scan the crowd. The students appeared to be looking forward to watching us perform this time, since they'd enjoyed the first play, so we'd be facing a much more receptive audience.

After I listened to Mr. Baldwin greet everyone and give a brief explanation about the play, I opened the curtain to get things started. The first scene got off to a brilliant start, as the boys pretended to be Robin Hood and his Merry Men in Sherwood Forest, which was the premise for this scene. It was meant to show Tom and his friends as typical kids, and the audience laughed at their antics. It just got better from there.

Before the scene where Tom was supposed to con the other kids into whitewashing the fence for him, I opened a can of paint I'd purchased and set it in a metal bucket. Wayne and Brian then set it out on the stage, along with the necessary brushes for that scene. When the curtain opened, we watched as the boys painted one side of the set piece that Bob Krivyanik and his students had made for us. I had previously taped a large sheet of plastic down on the stage where this activity would take place, so the boys wouldn't end up painting the stage as well.

By the time the play ended and the kids took their curtain call, they were greeted by a great deal of applause, along with shouts of approval. Once the curtain closed for the final time and the other students began to leave the auditorium, Mr. Baldwin came back to speak with us.

"You did it again. That was amazing – even better than the first play. I'm truly in awe as to how you got the students to do so well."

"It was easy. I just told them I trusted that they would do great and we practiced a lot. Just like the old saying says, practice makes perfect."

He agreed, shook my hand, and then he went around to congratulate the students individually. When he finished, the girls went back to the nurse's office to take off their costumes and put on their other clothes, and Gina agreed to help them remove their makeup. At the same time, the boys were doing the same thing in the storage room.

Since a great many of the boys had squeezed into jeans that were way too small for them for this play, I got to see a lot more than I'd expected. As they were trying to take them off again now that the play was over, quite often their underwear came down with the jeans, giving me a quick glimpse of what had been hidden underneath. None of the boys overreacted when this happened, and a few stood there shamelessly for a few seconds leaving their goodies exposed to everyone as they laughed about what had happened. Luckily, I got to see most of this before I became too busy removing their makeup.

Once she had finished with the girls, Gina came to congratulate me as well, and then I offered to take her out to dinner at the Rusty Hammer again, as my way of thanking her for her help. We did the same thing we'd done the last time and enjoyed a lovely meal together, while we also discussed Oliver!

"I want you to be with me when I audition the kids for the various singing roles, because they'll also have speaking parts too. I want to make sure they can do both, not just sing."

"Sure. I'll be happy to do that with you."

When we finished our meal, I walked her out to her car and told her to drive safely. Then I headed back to my apartment, still giddy from how well the kids had done. It was even better than our rehearsal on Wednesday, and Nolan and Gary had done a tremendous job. I was very proud of both of them.

I went to bed still on the same euphoric high, and I woke up in the morning still in the same condition. I hurried through getting ready and headed to the school early, because I wanted to unlock the doors before the kids started showing up, since Mr. Baldwin had loaned me his key again.

The boys were loud and excited as they piled into the storage area, ready to change into their costumes. I think each of them told me his parents would be in the audience today, so they were all excited about showing off for them. I merely reminded them to do exactly like they'd done the day before, because that performance would be hard to beat.

It was nearly noon before everyone was ready, so I looked out the curtain to see what the crowd was like. To my surprise, it was even larger than the last time, but that could be due to the fact that more kids were involved in this play. Unbelievably, it appeared as if there were nearly as many people as there had been when we put the play on in front of the entire student body.

Once the kids were all in their places, I went out to greet the crowd, thanked them for coming, and told them a little about the play. I then walked back to my place in the wings and tugged on the ropes to open the curtain on the first scene. Just as had happened the previous day, I could hear the laughter as the boys repeated their playful antics in Sherwood Forest. We were off to a great start.

It only got better from there. The whitewashing scene went just as well too, and Wayne and Brian remembered to put the unpainted side of the set piece facing the audience so the boys could use the paint left in the can to paint that side too. When the kids finished the final scene that took place in a cave, the audience was already on its feet, clapping loudly and cheering. They did it even louder as the curtain opened again so the cast could take their final bow.

The kids were all jumping around, pumping fists, and smiling broadly as the curtain closed for the final time, and then they went back to change and let me remove their makeup. To my surprise, Wayne and Brian closed the door to the storage room once the boys were all inside, and then they stood guard so no one would enter until we were ready. I wasn't sure why they'd done this, but I soon learned the reason when each of the boys intentionally pulled down their underwear along with their jeans, and then began to laugh.

"Hey, we felt it was only fair, since some of the guys did it by accident yesterday," Lance explained. He was the eighth grader who had played Jeff Thatcher, and I could see why he was willing to show off like this, because he was definitely well hung.

I also glanced around the room to check out the various boys, from the sixth graders yet to enter puberty, to those in the older grades who'd definitely started their journey into manhood. I noticed Gary and Nolan were doing this with the others and smiling broadly at me, so I had a feeling they'd played a big part in talking the other boys into doing this.

I waited until they had all covered themselves again before I went out to chat with those in the audience. I assumed the boys had told Wayne and Brian what they'd planned to do, and that's why the pair had stood guard on the door.

The first parent to approach me was Julie's mother. "Thank you so much for letting Julie be part of this wonderful experience," she gushed. "By the way, I think she has a crush on the boy who played Tom Sawyer and kissed her." I didn't have the heart to tell her Nolan was gay.

I talked to several other parents as well, including Lance's parents, and I finally got to meet Nolan and Gary's parents too.

"We knew Nolan was capable of doing something like this," his father stated, "but we didn't know anyone could get him to settle down long enough to do it."

"You did a great job with the boys," his mother added. "He talks about you a lot, and for a while I thought you were his only teacher."

"I don't have him in class, just the drama club, but I'm very proud of him. He did a wonderful job."

"And Gary talks about you a lot too," Gary's mother added. "I think he'd stay after school every night if he could spend the time with you."

"You did a truly amazing job with these kids," Gary's father chimed in. "We were at the first play, but we didn't stick around to speak with you because Gary only worked in the background. I was surprised when he told me he was going to be in this play, and I definitely didn't expect it would be better than the first. I offer my kudos on the fine job."

"Thank you, and I'm glad Gary joined the drama club too. I enjoy having him around."

I talked to a few more parents, and got a high sign from Mr. Chang. I figured that meant he'd catch me at school the following week, and I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say too. When the crowd began to disperse, Jennifer came up to speak with me next.

"That was absolutely fantastic! Now I understand why the boys spend so much time with you. They were incredible."

"I'll be sure to pass that along to them."

"Will they be coming over today?"

"I think they're planning to stop by to celebrate this time."

"Then if you don't mind, I'll watch for them so I can tell them myself."

"I'm sure they'll appreciate that," I told her, although I wasn't being completely honest with her. I'm sure the boys would rather spend their time in a sexual celebration, but I'd hold them off until she stopped by.

After she left, since she was the last one to speak with me, I went back to the storage area to make sure everyone was gone. I had taken Nolan and Gary's makeup off first on Friday and then had them watch while I did it to the others so they'd be able to help out today. Once I was certain no one was left in the storage area, I locked the door and went to check the nurse's office next. Gina was still there at the time.

"Another great job, Marshall. I'm really excited about working with you on Oliver! this year."

"Thanks, and I'm looking forward to working with you too. I love musicals, so this should be fun."

"Have you ever been in one?"

"Oh, yes. Several."

"Did you have a singing role?"

"Once again, several, including Don Quixote in Man of La Mancha."

"Really. Sing me one of those songs."

"Here? Now?"

"Yes."

"But there's no music."

"Follow me." She led me down to the music room and sat down at the piano. "I can fake most of the songs, so which one do you want to do?" "Damn, I wasn't ready for this, but I could do either Dulcinea or The Impossible Dream."

"Do a little of both. Start with Dulcinea."

I did as she requested and sang part of each song, only stopping when she quit playing. "Damn. I didn't know you had such a great voice to go along with your acting and directing ability," she said when I finished.

"I've been told I had a good or even a nice voice, but not great. I never took vocal lessons."

"Trust me, it's better than you think. How would you like to play Fagin or Mr. Bumble? I was planning to ask for faculty and staff volunteers for a few of the roles, since I wasn't sure if the students could handle them. I also thought the contrast with an adult Bumble and Fagin standing beside the kids would be more impressive, but it should help to keep the kids under control too."

"I'll do whatever you want."

"Mr. Bumble has an awesome song to sing with Boy for Sale, but the Fagin role is bigger and would be much more fun. Besides, you're built more like Fagin than Bumble."

"As I said, I'll bow to your wishes."

That's how we ended our discussion, as we both left the building and I went to meet up with the boys.
