Chapters 18-26

Chapter 18
A Busy Fall

Things calmed down again after my birthday, and we all fell into our normal routine again. This included me picking up Reid at school with Evan and Ashley in tow when he stayed after school for the writing club. I didn't mind doing this, though, because it was actually nice to see he was getting involved in something that paid the bills for both his father and me. I also secretly hoped he would follow in one of our footsteps.

Seeing we had now slipped into October, discussions seemed to revolve around Halloween. Reid informed me that he didn't plan on going trick-or-treating this year, so he and I agreed we'd stay home and pass out the treats. This worked out well, because now both Brad and Pam could take Evan and Ashley around the neighborhood, rather than having one of them stay home to take care of that duty.

Since it wouldn't seem like autumn or Halloween for me without certain reminders that I still enjoyed from my youth, I picked up a few additional items when I went grocery shopping. I ended up purchasing a gallon of Apple Cider, a dozen donuts, and two 4-packs of candy apples for those of us at home, as well as a few extra treats for those stopping by the house on Halloween night.

After hassling with Brad and Pam about paying my way since I'd first moved in, we'd finally reached a compromise that made it so I didn't feel as if I was taking advantage of them. I would chip in a fixed amount each month toward the groceries, since I ate my meals with them, but I would also keep a few things in my apartment for personal use. This would include coffee, since I lived on it during the day, any other drinks I wanted, and snacks. Even though I wasn't a great cook, I'd also agreed to fix dinner on Monday thru Thursday so Pam wouldn't have to rush home from work and fix something. She said she would take care of Friday nights and fix something if we didn't go out to eat or order something to be delivered, and she'd also cook on the weekends as well. We all felt this was a reasonable solution, and I no longer felt like a freeloader.

During the first week of October, each of the kids schools had an open house, and all three wanted me to come along with them and their parents to see the school. After talking it over with Brad and Pam, they thought it would be fine, so I went too. During the open house, the parents not only got to meet the teachers and see the classrooms, but they were also asked to sign up to conference with their child's teacher or teachers. This would take place sometime during the next couple of weeks, and there were multiple times to choose from. There were afternoon appointments for the parents who didn't work, since the schools would be closed during those times. Then, there were four different nights to choose from for evening appointments as well.

This meant Brad and Pam would have to make three different appointments, one for each child, but the good part was they could meet with all the various teachers within the same block of time. They met with Evan and Ashley's teachers first, and were told that both kids were doing well, although Evan's teacher commented that she was trying to correct some of his immature pronunciations. Since they had also noticed this problem, Brad and Pam agreed to work on it at home, as well.

I thought Reid was acting crazy when he said he wanted me to go and meet with his teachers too, but Brad and Pam surprised me when they agreed with him. They said that since I was the one who helped him and looked over his assignments, then I should get to know his teachers as well. Since they were all in agreement, I went with them to the conference.

When we met with each of Reid's teachers, Brad and Pam would introduce me, and then they'd explain why I was there as well. None of Reid's teachers seemed to object to my presence, and some of them were even quite complimentary when they found out how I was involved. I heard comments such as, 'I knew someone had been working with him at home', and they all thought he was doing very well adjusting to the new school and harder workload. His English teacher also praised him for joining the Writing Club, and once Brad and I explained what we did for a living, it caused his teacher to smile.

"I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree then," he joked. "It also explains a lot too."

We thanked each of his teachers after we spoke with them, and we also told them to feel free to contact us at any time, since someone was usually at the house. They thanked us for that information before adding that the best students usually came from loving and supporting homes like ours.

We were coming up to the third Friday in October when Reid asked if he could stay after school to watch the Middle School football game again. I told him I'd be willing to pick him up, because I was glad he was doing this with some of his friends, so he went to clear it with his parents. Pam said she'd be home in time to watch Evan and Ashley before the game ended, so I wouldn't have to take them along when I went to pick up Reid. She also reminded me it was her night to cook, so she'd have dinner ready by the time we got home, so I thought it all worked out very well.

On the night of the game, I left as soon as Pam arrived home and got to the school before the game ended. I decided to park the car and watch some of the action, rather than just wait in the parking lot. I was impressed with the level of play for a middle school squad, and Reid's team was ahead. Reid must have seen me when I was climbing the bleachers to find a seat, because I hadn't been there very long before he came over to greet me.

"Hey, Uncle Quinn, I didn't know you were coming to watch the game."

"I got here a little early, so I thought it would be more fun to do this than just sit in the car."

"I'm glad you did, cuz now I can introduce you to some of my friends. This is Paul, Simon, Chad, and Jeremy," he said, as he pointed to each one.

"It sounds more like a group of musicians, if you ask me." I giggled and the boys all looked at me strangely. "Yeah, ok. I guess that reference was way before your time, because I only heard about those guys because of my mom and dad. Just in case you were wondering, Paul Simon was a singer-songwriter, and Chad and Jeremy were a vocal group from the 1960s, but they had a brief comeback in the 1980s. That's why I made the comment."

"That's kind of strange, but it's funny too. We've all been friends for quite a while and no one ever mentioned this before," Simon replied.

"Yeah, maybe me and Chad should form our own group," Jeremy joked. "Do you play an instrument Chad?"

"I took piano lessons when I was younger," Chad confirmed. "How about you?"

"I play the guitar a little, so maybe if we practiced some more," Jeremy offered.

"I'm sure your parents would appreciate knowing the money they spent on your lessons didn't go to waste," I teased.

"But can either of you sing?" Reid asked.

"Yeah, of course," they both echoed.

"I think he's asking if you can sing WELL," Paul added, making the rest of us laugh.

"We can sing pretty good, but we can practice that too," Chad responded, not to be outdone.

About that time a cheer went up from the crowd, so we stopped and focused on the game again. The local team just made a crushing tackle on the other team's quarterback for a huge loss, so it looked as if that stop had ended the other team's current drive. It now seemed likely that Reid's team would win.

We watched the final couple of minutes of the game together, and then we said goodbye to the others before heading out to the car. Reid was in a really good mood during the ride back, and shortly after we left the school, he leaned over and rested his head against my shoulder. I wasn't sure why he was doing this, other than to be close, and he stayed that way as I came to a stop sign. Just before the car came to a complete halt, an older teenager standing on the corner saw us and decided to shout out a comment.

"Fuckin' Pedo! Find someone your own age, you fuckin' child molester!"

I was glad we were only at a stop sign and didn't have to wait for a traffic light to change, because I hit the gas and sped away from there. That's when Reid sat up and looked at me.

"We weren't doin' nothin', so why did he say that?"

"Because you were leaning against me like a school girl on a date." Although I didn't tell him this, I was sure the goofy look on Reid's face might have also prompted the boy to come to that conclusion. "Maybe you should start being a little more careful about how you act around me when we're out in public. If things like this got around to people we know, it could cause problems for us. Did you happen to know that guy?"

"Nah, I've never seen him before."

"That's good and works in our favor. If he doesn't know who we are, there's little chance he can cause us further problems. I just don't like the idea of drawing that kind of attention."

We stopped our conversation at that point, but we also opted not to say anything about it to Brad or Pam. I was afraid that if they heard about what had happened, it might cause them to reconsider what they were allowing Reid to do.

Things pretty much returned to normal after that night, and the younger pair was all wound up about Halloween, although they were having a tough time picking out costumes. Ashley was torn between being Little Red Riding Hood or Catwoman, but seeing she loved to watch Once Upon a Time with us, she finally went with Little Red Riding Hood.

Evan, on the other hand, was having trouble deciding if he wanted to be a Ninja warrior or a werewolf, but he finally decided on the werewolf, because he thought it would be scarier. Once they had both made their decisions, they were ready for the big day.

After downing a hasty meal on Halloween night, Brad and Pam took the two younger ones out to go door-to-door collecting treats, but they only took them to the homes of people they knew. While they were doing that, Reid and I answered the doorbell at home.

We were impressed with some of the costumes the other kids wore, and Reid even knew some of them from the lower grades at the Middle School. Those youngsters either rode the same bus with Ashley and him, or he had seen them around sometime during the day. However, we were caught by surprise when Simon showed up at our door.

"I wasn't going to go trick-or-treating this year, but since my parents didn't want my brother and sister to go out alone, they told me that I had to go with them. I figured since I had to do this, I might as well dress up and get some candy too."

"Yeah, that makes sense to me," Reid replied.

"What's your uncle doin' here?"

"He lives with us and has his own apartment."

"I didn't know that."

"Yeah, he's a writer and works at home, so he watches my little brother and sister whenever my mom and dad aren't here. He also picks me up at school when I stay late for different stuff."

"Oh, that's neat. I just thought he lived near here and was helping your parents out by picking you up from the football game."

"He was helping out, but he lives here too. He even cooks some nights so Mom doesn't have to."

"My mom would sure love havin' someone do that for her," Simon stated, and then he laughed.

"Yeah, my mom says it helps a lot."

"Simon, do you live near here then?" I asked, since Reid hadn't mentioned any of his friends living close by. Seeing there were others showing up now too, I had Simon, his brother, and sister come inside so we could still pass candy out to the other trick-or-treaters as we talked.

"Sort of. We live about three streets over, but I decided to bring the brats here, since I knew this is where Reid lived."

"How about Paul, Chad, and Jeremy? Do they live around here too."

"Paul lives pretty close to me, but Chad and Jeremy live in another development nearby that is sorta close. They ride the same bus to school, and so do Paul and I."

"But none of you ride on Reid's bus?"

"Nope."

"Ok, I was just curious."

Simon's brother and sister were getting impatient and urging their brother to leave so they could get more candy. We said goodbye to them, but it had been interesting to learn a little more about Reid's friends.

Brad and Pam got home with Evan and Ashley before we turned out the porch light and stopped handing out candy. It looked as if we were going to have a little left over, but not very much, so I figured Reid could have what remained, seeing he hadn't gone out and collected his own treats.

Evan and Ashley were really excited and wanted to tell me about the places they stopped at, because some were decorated more than others for the holiday. They also wanted to tell me about some of the other kids they had seen and the costumes they were wearing. After they showed me how much candy they'd collected, Pam told them it was time to get out of their costumes so they could take a bath and get ready for bed.

"Unka Quinn, will you give me a bath then?"

"I'm still answering the door and handing out candy."

"I can do that, if you want to help him," Reid offered, causing me to do a double-take. Was this the same kid who usually complained when I took time to do things with his brother?

"Tell you what," Pam said before I could respond, "if you're willing to do that, then I'll have Brad watch the door so you three can just shower together, like you do on Friday and Saturday nights. I'm sure that will be faster, and it would help me out too."

"Sounds good to me," I agreed. "Evan, just run up to your room and grab the things you're going to wear to bed. Then you can come down to shower with us when you're ready."

"Should I take my costume off first?"

"That's up to your mother, but you can come down to join us when you're ready."

While I'd been talking to Evan, Pam asked Brad to take over the door until there were no more trick-or-treaters. When he did, Reid and I headed to my apartment.

"You surprised me earlier, when you offered to do that for Evan," I stated once we were alone.

"Yeah, he really likes you doin' that for him too, and I guess I don't really mind, but I'm glad mom told him to just shower with us instead."

"Yes, that will work out much better."

Before long, Evan came running in just in his underwear. When we looked at him somewhat amazed, he decided to explain. "Mom was already giving Ashley her bath, so they couldn't see me and I just came down like this."

"Hey, it's not a problem for us, but we were just a bit curious. Now that you've explained things, lets get undressed and head into the shower."

Reid was the next one to get naked, so he went to start the water while Evan waited for me to finish up, and then we walked to the bathroom to join Reid. As I was washing Evan, he continued to tell me about his night and the people he'd scared with his costume. I guess some of the homeowners had really played it up big when they opened the door and saw him, which totally made his night. He was thrilled that he'd been able to scare a few of the adults he visited.

When we finished, I dried the boys off and then Evan changed into what he was going to wear. When he finished, he looked at Reid and spoke.

"You didn't put nothin' on. Aren't you goin' up to your room too?"

"I just want to talk to Uncle Quinn first, so I'll come up a little later."

"Ok. Thanks for washin' me, Unka Quinn."

"No problem, little buddy. Sleep well."

"K. I will. Mom's prob'ly waitin' for me." He then left my apartment and scurried up to his room.

"Aren't you taking a chance by doing this?" I asked, slightly concerned.

"Nah, he'll fall asleep soon and won't ever know I didn't go up there."

"If you say so, but I still think you're taking a chance." We then crawled into bed together, but before I pulled the sheet and blanket over us, I decided to say something else. "Since you were willing to do something nice for your brother and offered to let me give him his bath, I'm willing to do something special for you too. I'll give you a choice – either you can suck me off or I'll do it for you. Which would you prefer?"

"That's a tough choice, cuz I want to do both. How about if we sixty-nine instead, cuz that won't take any longer than if I just did you?"

"You're a clever little devil, but ok. Let me slide down a bit and then you can position yourself above me."

"K. I was hopin' you'd do something like this after I said you could give Evan his bath." He was grinning from ear-to-ear.

"Oh, you did, did you?" I replied as he was getting into position, but before he was set, I began to tickle him.

"Stop. Don't do that. Please stop!" he gasped out in between giggles.

"Ok, but that was for being such a conniver, because I thought you were only being nice."

"I was, but I was hopin' you'd be nice to me too."

As soon as we finished talking, we began licking and massaging each other's scrotums with our hands. Then, we started working on each other's penis, and before long we were bobbing up and down on the other's steely rod. I was also able to reach up and insert a finger into his rectum, so I could stroke his prostate too, but he wasn't able to do the same for me, since he was using both of his arms to balance himself. Seeing he had a tendency to bust a nut before I was ready, I anticipated this would happen due to the dual stimulation and was prepared when he began to fill my mouth with his sweet load.

As soon as he recovered, he went back to work on me. As soon as I orgasmed, he siphoned off every last drop from my penis, and then he swung around to kiss me for a minute, before he spooned up against me, ready to sleep.

"I really love you, Uncle Quinn."

"I love you too, sweetie." My response caused him to look over his shoulder and smile at me again.

"I like it when you call me that. Just remember not to do it in front of anyone else."

"Oh, I won't." I then draped my arm over his side and gave him a squeeze as we prepared to sleep.

A couple of nights later was Pam's birthday, so Brad told me not to fix anything for dinner, because he was taking us all out to eat instead.

"Wouldn't you prefer to just have the two of you go out for the night?"

"No, I know she'd want the kids there too, so I'll wait and take her out again on Saturday, just the two of us, if you don't mind babysitting."

"Of course not."

"Good, then that's what we'll do."

As soon as they got home from work that night, we all wished her a Happy Birthday, and then Brad had us all load into the Highlander so he could take us to the Outback this time. When I looked at him questioningly, he explained.

"Pam loves steak, but she's also crazy about their Bloomin' Onion, so this is what we'll do tonight. I'll take her someplace fancier on Saturday."

"Ok. I see now."

Once we were there, we ordered and enjoyed a very lovely meal together. When we returned home, I quickly set out the cake I'd purchased earlier in the day, lit the candles, and then we all sang to her and had her blow out the candles, before we gave her our presents. After she'd opened everything, Brad told her about Saturday night, which pleased her even more.

"Then you gave me two gifts," she said as she glanced at me.

"No, I think we're even," I replied, as I gave a quick glance toward Reid. She merely nodded and grinned in return.

Later in the week, Reid came up to me one night after he arrived home from school. "Simon told the other guys that you lived here with us."

"Is that a problem?"

"Nah, they just asked me a lot of questions about you. Besides the stuff we told Simon on Halloween, I told them you were makin' me a character in your next story. I told them a little about Reed in the story too, so now they all want to read your book when it comes out."

"I guess I'll have to hurry up and finish it then, because I don't want to disappoint my newest fans."

"I told them the names of your first two books too, and said they could find them at Amazon or in a store now."

"Does this mean I have to start giving you a percentage too, since you're acting as my publicist now?" I teased, and then I laughed.

"You can if you want too," he responded as he laughed too. "I wouldn't mind havin' some extra money."

"I think I spend enough on you already to compensate you for the few people you tell, but I won't forget how you're helping me."

"That's cuz you help me too."

When Saturday night rolled around, the kids and I all said goodbye to Brad and Pam when they left, and then we went to watch a DVD. The younger ones wanted to watch the Disney movie, Cars, so we all piled onto the sofa to enjoy it together.

When the movie ended, I had a decision to make. I thought Ashley was too old and would be embarrassed if I gave her a bath, so I presented her with an option. "You can either take a bath by yourself, or you can wait and have your mom help you in the morning."

"I'll do it myself. I've been telling my mom that I'm old enough to do it and she doesn't have to help me, so maybe this will prove it to her."

"Ok, but just be careful, because I don't want you to have an accident, like falling in the tub. You can call me if you need anything, but I'll be showering with your brothers."

"K." And then I sent them all upstairs, Ashley to bathe and the boys to get what they were going to wear afterward. In Evan's case it meant his underwear and pajamas, while Reid selected something to wear for tomorrow, since he liked to sleep with me naked.

As soon as I finished showering with my two, I helped Evan put on his PJs, and then I slipped on something too, so I could go up to tuck him and Ashley in bed. Ashley appeared to have handled things well on her own, so I tucked each one in bed. They both thanked me for doing it, and I kissed each one on the forehead and wished them sweet dreams before I left. Then, I went back to my room and cuddled with Reid.

I'm not sure what time Pam and Brad got home, let alone what they did afterward, but they were both very cheery and in a great mood the next morning at breakfast. They both thanked me for watching the kids for them, and I explained that I'd let Ashley take her bath alone.

"I guess I forgot about that, and I can see how it might have been a problem. I suppose now she'll want to take her bath by herself every night, but that's ok too. It will be one less thing that I'll have to do, and it will be another birthday present for me."

I merely smiled and nodded.

Chapter 19
Giving Thanks

The next event on the calendar was Thanksgiving, so I sat down with Pam to see how she wanted to handle it.

"Are we going to be having company for dinner?" I began.

"No, all of our parents live in other states and don't really like to travel here because its so far away. They also hate the traffic."

"Understandable – so will you be inviting anyone locally to join us?"

"No, everyone we know is spending the day with their families."

"Then are we having the meal here, or would you rather go out?"

"I'd prefer having a family meal at home."

"Then I'll help you prepare everything, but I've never fixed a turkey before. Chicken yes, but never a turkey."

"I'll take care of that and you work on the other dishes. That would be a huge help."

"Ok, make a grocery list of what we'll need for that meal and I'll do the shopping for you as well."

"I'm beginning to like Brad's idea about inviting you to live here with us more and more every day. You sure are a lot more help than he is."

"I guess it must be the gay genes," I joked, causing her to laugh.

"Then I hope Reid got those same genes."

I spent the day before Thanksgiving preparing the stuffed celery that we could nibble on before the turkey was done. I also prepared a JELL-O Watergate salad, a green bean salad, the candied yams, butternut squash, a pumpkin cheesecake, and a chocolate silk pie. They all were then placed in the refrigerator, and we'd take out the items that needed to go in the oven the following day, so they'd be warm for the meal.

"Damn, it looks like you've fixed most of tomorrow's meal, along with what we're having for dinner tonight," Pam said when she saw me in the kitchen after getting home from work.

"Yes, ma'am. I've been busy a fixin' the dishes for you, master, and the chillin'," I replied in my mock servant mode. "You shouldn't have to spoil those delicate hands doin' this work."

Pam was laughing hysterically, but when she stopped she posed a question. "Did you make the stuffing for the turkey too, since I see you thawed it so it would be ready for me to work on."

"No, everyone does their stuffing differently, and I wasn't sure how you prepared yours, so I didn't do that," I responded more seriously this time.

"That's fine, because it won't take me very long to whip it up. I'll prepare that and stuff the turkey after we eat. Then, it will be ready to pop in the oven in the morning."

"It's a good thing the house had a really large, four-door refrigerator when we bought it, because it sure has come in handy. I've also stored a few items in the fridge in my apartment, since I was running out of room."

"Yes, I think the previous owners had several children, plus one set of parents living here as well. With them having such a large family, it sure worked out great for us too."

We then called everyone out to eat, since tonight's dinner was done, and during the meal we talked about what we anticipated doing over the four day holiday weekend.

"Have you kids made your Christmas lists yet?" Brad asked first.

"Yes!" they all screamed.

"I think we finished them just after Halloween," Reid added. "I had to help Evan and Ashley a little, cuz they couldn't spell some of the things they wanted."

"Thank you for doing that, honey, so we'll just need you to give us your lists," his mother confirmed. "I doubt we'll go out and buck the crowds on Friday, but I think your father and I will do some shopping over the weekend instead. In the meantime, you kids can help me decorate the house."

"Can I help you with the stuff outside, Dad?" Reid quickly followed.

"I suppose we can find something for you to do, because Uncle Quinn has offered to help me hang the lights and put up the decorations outdoors."

That made Reid glow, but I think he'd suspected I was going to be helping his dad, even before he offered his help. I thought it was a pretty clever and sneaky way for him to make sure we were together.

Pam said she was going to go to bed after she got Evan and Ashley in bed, seeing she had to get up early to put the turkey in the oven.

"Do you need me to get up and help with anything?"

"No, you've done so much already that I'll probably be able to go back to bed for an hour after I get the turkey started. You've taken a huge load off me already."

"It was my pleasure, but you can let me do a little extra for you. Why don't you let Evan shower with us tonight?"

"I think that's a wonderful idea. You're certainly proving to be a blessing."

When we told Evan about this, he quickly thought of something else. "Can I sleep with Unka Quinn too?"

Before I answered, I looked at Reid first. He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders, but then he nodded too. "Yeah, and I'll sleep with Uncle Quinn too," he quickly added.

"Looks like I've got two bunkmates this evening," I joked as I looked at Pam.

"Ok, as long as you don't mind, but I've seen that coming for a while now."

As Evan went upstairs to get something to put on afterward, I spoke briefly with Reid. "As soon as he falls asleep, I'll suck you off in the bathroom. I just don't want to risk him waking up and seeing what we were up to if we did it in bed."

"Yeah, that will be ok, since this is a long weekend. Maybe we can do something Sunday night too, to make up for tonight."

"Ok, I'll do that for you too."

Reid was just going upstairs to get his things as Evan was heading downstairs. "What took you so long?"

"Uncle Quinn wanted to tell me something before I came up here."

"What?"

"He just said he'd sleep in the middle, so you could be on one side and I could be on the other."

"Yeah, I like that."

When Reid returned, Evan and I were already undressed. "I'll go start the shower while you're taking off your clothes."

"K, and I'll be there in a minute."

"Hurry up so we can do this," Evan urged his brother.

"You can go with Uncle Quinn if you want. You don't have to wait for me."

"K, but hurry," he agreed before taking off.

I had Evan partially washed by the time Reid joined us, but seeing it hadn't held things up for Evan, he didn't seem to mind. After I finished with Evan, I washed Reid next, and then the two boys washed me. When we were done, I dried us all off, and then we went to the bedroom to get dressed. As I was helping Evan put on his PJs, Reid was smart enough to put on his underwear, because he knew his brother would ask questions if he slept nude. I put on a pair of boxers as well, and then we climbed into bed.

Reid slept on his normal side of the bed, and I slept on my back so it didn't appear as if I was favoring or ignoring either boy. Evan held onto my arm like it was a teddy bear until he drifted off, and once I was sure he was asleep, I nudged Reid to get out of bed and head to the bathroom. After we closed the door behind us, I lifted him onto the counter, pulled down his briefs, and attacked his penis.

It was definitely what you'd call a 'quickie', since it didn't take him very long to explode into my mouth, so I was pretty sure he had needed to cum and was glad he didn't miss out on this opportunity.

"Can't I do you too?" he wanted to know when he saw I was getting ready to leave.

"Not tonight, but I wanted to make sure you were taken care of."

He smiled weakly, nodded, and then we went out and got back into bed. Since Evan was sleeping peacefully, this time I was able to cuddle with Reid for the rest of the night.

Seeing I woke up before either boy, I kissed Reid on the cheek and broke the embrace I'd shared with him while we'd been sleeping. Then, I rolled over in the other direction and placed my other arm across Evan's slender chest. I stayed like that until he awoke, about forty minutes later.

"I like sleeping with you like this," Evan beamed when he realized I was holding onto him.

"Yes, I like it too," I concurred, as I gave him a kiss on the cheek.

As soon as we were all up, Reid and I dressed quickly, since he'd brought down his clothes for today, and then we went out to have breakfast. I was surprised to see that everyone else was already up, and Pam had things ready to prepare a meal for us when we joined them, since Brad and Ashley were already at the table.

"Thank you for the lovely breakfast," I told her once we'd eaten. "I was ready to fix breakfast for everyone when I got up, but we stayed in bed and waited for Evan to wake up first."

"Yes, he can be a sleepyhead, and sometimes gives me a tussle when I try to get him up and moving on school days."

"Nuht uh," Evan objected.

"Uh huh," his mother countered, not giving in. "Some mornings you're so bad that I'm tempted to get a bucket of ice water and dump over you so you'll get up."

Evan's eyes shot wide open, as he gawked at his mother. "You wouldn't do that."

"Then don't tempt me by giving me trouble getting you out of bed, or you may find out." I wasn't sure, but I had a feeling that Evan might be a little more cooperative from now on.

When we finished, I asked Pam what she wanted Evan to wear today, because I was planning to take him upstairs and help him get dressed. As soon as she explained which outfit and where I'd find it, I took Evan to his room and helped him get ready. When we came downstairs again, Evan went to watch the parade with his father and siblings, while I went to the kitchen to help Pam fix the remaining items for today's meal.

"Can I help?" Reid asked when he saw what I was doing. I guess when I didn't go to watch the parade with Evan, Reid decided to come looking for me.

"Sure. Come here and I'll show you what to do," I offered.

"I find this interesting," his mother observed, "but I really like seeing you doing things like this. How come you've never asked to help me when I was working alone in the kitchen?" Reid suddenly looked like the kid who'd just been caught with his hand in the cookie jar.

"Ummm, I didn't know guys did this kinda stuff, but when I saw Uncle Quinn doin' it, I thought maybe he could teach me."

"Good answer, so listen and learn. That way you can help more often in the future."

I mentioned earlier that I wasn't a very good cook, but since I'd been helping fix the meals I've found that Pam's cookbooks and her suggestions had moved me up a level as chef. I was still a long ways from becoming a master chef, but I was definitely better than when I first arrived here.

Since we weren't going to eat until 3:00, just before noon I fried up some cheese raviolis and filled a small bowl with marinara sauce. Then, I put those items on the dining room table, along with the celery I'd stuffed yesterday. I'd filled it with a mixture of cream cheese and sour cream that I'd added chopped black olives and chopped walnuts to. Then I called everyone out to fill up a small plate so they could have something to snack on until dinner was served.

"Wow! These are good," Reid gushed after tasting one of each.

"Thank you."

"And how did you come up with the idea of frying ravioli as an appetizer?" Pam wondered.

"I found the idea online, along with the recipe I used to stuff the celery."

"Damn, you're turning out to be quite handy," Brad added. "These are pretty good."

"And I like them too," Evan chimed in.

"Yeah, me too," Ashley agreed.

That seemed to tide everyone over until the meal was ready, and then at 3:00 we sat down for an early dinner. Before we filled our plates, however, Brad had something to say.

"I'm not usually one for saying grace, but today I think we should take time to not only give thanks for this wonderful meal, but for having such a terrific family. Since Uncle Quinn has joined us, we seem to have the perfect mix, where everyone benefits and we're all very happy together. So thank you, God, for granting us all of these marvelous gifts."

"Amen," Pam quickly added, as the rest of us followed suit. Then we began to fill our plates.

When we finished eating, we all pushed away from the table quite stuffed. "Man, that was one fantastic dinner," Brad stated. "Thanks, hun."

"A lot of the credit goes to Quinn," she quickly replied. "Outside of putting things in the oven, I basically only fixed the turkey and dressing."

"Then thank you, Quinn. You're definitely earning your keep."

"Yeah, thanks Uncle Quinn," three little voices chimed in.

"And God Bless us, everyone," I added in my best child's voice.

"Huh?" Reid mumbled, looking at me strangely.

"It was my best Tiny Tim impression, because this was starting to sound like a scene from 'A Christmas Carol'," I quipped back, gaining an expression of understanding.

"So does that make me Bob Cratchit or Scrooge?" Brad asked. None of us bothered to answer and we merely shrugged our shoulders instead. "And Merry Christmas to all of you too," Brad sneered, mockingly.

"Sorry, honey, but you set yourself up for that one," Pam said with a giggle.

Reid and I offered to help Pam clean up and put things away, and then he and I went in to watch football games with his father. Reid was sitting so close to me on the sofa that he was nearly in my lap.

"Are we all comfy?" Brad said in jest after noticing the situation.

"Yeah," Reid answered, not catching his father's drift.

"I thought so," Brad replied with a grin.

Around 8:00, we took a break to fix a snack. We each had a turkey sandwich, although Evan and Ashley only had half, and then we heated up whatever else we wanted from earlier. Once we finished with those items, we had our dessert, before going back to watch TV together, but this time we found a movie instead.

When the movie ended, Evan and Ashley were nearly asleep, so Pam said they could skip their bath and just get in bed. Since Evan was so sleepy, he asked me to carry him upstairs and help him get undressed, so I did that for him while Pam helped Ashley. Then, I went downstairs to take care of Reid.

"Lets skip our shower too and just do the other stuff."

"I'm afraid I might be a little ripe, seeing I worked up quite a sweat working in the hot kitchen. If you want to do what you usually do, then I think it would be best if I showered first."

"Ok, then I'll shower with you, cuz I worked pretty hard too."

"Yes, you certainly did."

We then undressed and jumped in the shower. I told Reid we should wash each other thoroughly, especially the areas we felt we'd be focusing on later, and he wanted to do me first. It didn't take me long to realize he was doing more than merely washing my penis, and then I felt him inserting his finger into my rectum while he was washing my backside. When it was my turn to wash him, I retuned the favor, and just before we finished, Reid made a comment.

"I think it was cute that Evan asked if I liked you washing me as much as he did," Reid said with a grin. "He really thinks I only shower with you when we all shower together."

"And I want him to keep believing that, or else we might have to stop. Either that or he'll want to do it with us every night too."

"Yeah, ok, I see what you mean."

Now that the foreplay was out of the way, we dried off each other and headed to bed. Seeing I'd only sucked Reid off quickly the previous night, he wanted to do everything tonight, one at a time. I didn't have a problem with that, and it had been a week since we'd last done this with each other, so I needed it as much as he did tonight.

As soon as we were laying side-by-side on the bed, we began kissing each other, but I soon took control because I wanted to work on him first. Once we finished dueling with our tongues, I went to work on one of his ears, which caused him to moan quite loudly. Over time I'd learned that Reid's ears were much more sensitive than anyone else I'd ever been with. In fact, he got nearly as much enjoyment out of having me suck on his lobes and run my tongue around his outer ear as he got from oral sex. I wouldn't be surprised if one day he cummed just from me working on his ears.

After I finished on the first one, I kissed and nipped my way across his neck, as I made my way to his other ear, and then I repeated the same process on it. Once I had worked on that ear as well, I moved down to his chest and used my tongue to tease the little nubs on his chest, and when they were standing erect, I began to suck on them too. I did the same thing to both of his nipples, and then I decided to try something that I was afraid Reid might consider odd, but I did it nonetheless. I carefully lifted his arm and buried my face in his arm pit, so I could attack that area next.

As I ran my tongue over that area and nibbled on his nearly hairless flesh, Reid began to squirm and giggle. He obviously thought my actions tickled, but he was also releasing sighs of satisfaction and contentment in between the giggles. Once I finished paying attention to the first side, I moved across his body and did the same thing on his other arm pit, eliciting similar results. When I finished there as well, I kissed and nibbled my way down the center of his chest until I reached his navel.

Reid had a really cute innie belly button that was also extremely sensitive. It seemed like every time I attacked his navel with my tongue, he started to squirm and giggle uncontrollably. On some occasions I would do it more aggressively to get even with him for something he'd said or done, but most of the time it was just a brief stop before I moved on to my ultimate goal.

Once I finished up there, I stood up and moved between his legs next. As soon as I was in position, I lifted those coltish limbs and attacked his butt, because I knew how much he enjoyed it. This was something he'd never even thought about trying before I started doing it with him, but he seemed to fall in love with it from the very first time. Seeing I knew how much he enjoyed this, I greedily attacked his anal opening and licked, sucked, and probed the area with my tongue. This caused Reid to writhe around in ecstasy, while moaning, cooing and panting in sheer delight.

When I stopped doing that, I licked my way up his perineum so I could attack his scrotum next. First, I ran my tongue over every square inch of that fleshy sac, and then I began to nip and tug gently on it with my teeth, before sucking on the grape size watery baby makers contained within. His body was shuddering with anticipation and absolute pleasure as I slid higher and zeroed in on the straining organ that made him a boy.

As I began to lick up the length of his penis, his body seemed to spasm in pure joy, and when I reached the glans and began to run my tongue around the coronal ridge, he was groaning audibly. As soon as I lowered my mouth over his erection and allowed my lips to slide down its length, his hips began to buck upward, as he started to unconsciously hump my face.

As soon as he did that, I wet a finger and slid it into his rectum, gently easing it in and out for a minute before inserting it all the way so I could stroke his prostate. When I found that sensitive gland, I ran the tip of my finger over the surface, catapulting him into a momentary period of euphoria. He was grunting 'unh, unh, unh' as he began to ejaculate and filled my mouth with his delicious boy-cream. I swallowed every drop and continued sucking until he was completely drained, before I released that gorgeous piece of flesh from my lips. Then, I gave him all the time he needed to enjoy his post-orgasmic bliss.

I was totally focused on the peaceful and angelic expression on his face as he slowly came down his climactic high. Then, without warning, he sat upright, wrapped his arms around my neck, and started kissing me again. When he finally released my neck, he was nearly glowing when he spoke.

"Man, it just keeps getting better and better. I loved everything you did to me and it felt even more terrific than the last time you did it."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, because I know I enjoyed doing it with you."

"Dang, I love you so much. I'm really glad my parents asked you to do this with me."

"As am I," I agreed, as I pulled him into a very loving embrace.

About a minute later, Reid pulled away, looked me in the eye, and spoke. "Now it's my turn to do that to you."

I didn't argue and immediately got into position so he could repeat each of those steps on me. He never skipped a beat and did everything I'd done to him, bringing me as much pleasure as I'd given him. When I finally fed him my man-cream, his reward for such a fantastic effort, he drank it down and then moved up to kiss me again. After that, we just laid side-by-side for a brief time, as we both panted in pure bliss.

As soon as our bodies began to calm down, we finished our nightly preparations and then cuddled in bed. I had no way of knowing how long Reid would stay with me, since I realized there was a chance he might one day find someone a little closer to his own age, but I'd relish every moment that we were together. I could only hope that he'd choose to stay with me forever, but since I was so much older, we both knew I'd probably pass away long before he did. However, I'd sell my soul to be with him until then and could only hope and pray that he felt just as strongly about me.

Chapter 20
Thanksgiving Weekend

On the day after Thanksgiving, no one wanted to go out and fight the massive crowds trying to save a buck on Black Friday, so we stayed home instead. We spent the morning decorating the house for Christmas, starting with Brad and me assembling their elaborate and very realistic artificial tree. They originally bought it because Evan and Ashley had experienced allergic reactions to having a real tree in the house, but this actually worked out better for everyone. Now, they were able to put it up earlier, didn't have to water it, and there was less of a mess when taking it down. Once it was up, Pam, Ashley, and Evan decorated the tree, as well as setting up the other decorations inside, while Brad, Reid, and I worked on the exterior of the house.

First, Brad and I took turns climbing the ladder to hang the Christmas lights around the eaves, while the other untangled the next strand and Reid steadied the ladder. At noon Pam called us in for lunch, and I was surprised when we didn't have leftovers. She was saving those for dinner.

After we finished eating, the three of us went outside again to finish up with the lights and to set up the other decorations, which included a lighted Nativity and an inflatable Santa and snowman. While we were doing that, Pam and the little ones finished up indoors. We were all done with everything by 4:00, so we spent the rest of the day with the kids.

We started off with another kickball game, and while we were playing I noticed that the old guy still wasn't around. This made me wonder how his wife was handling being alone, and then I had another thought. I wasn't sure if they had any children or if there might be other relatives living close by, but I hoped she had someplace to go for the holiday and hadn't spent it alone.

After the kickball game, we went inside and washed up for dinner. It didn't take long to prepare it, since we were having leftovers, and then after we finished eating, we agreed to watch a movie next. After checking the listings, it turned out we had a choice. One channel was playing Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory with Gene Wilder, while another was showing Home Alone. After talking it over with the kids, they wanted to watch Home Alone, so that's what we did. We sat through two hours of watching Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) outsmart two burglars (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern). We all had a few good laughs before it ended, even though we'd seen it before, and then it was time for the kids to get ready for bed.

Of course, Evan wanted to shower with us again, and we had no problems with that. However, when he asked if he could sleep with me too, I told him to run upstairs and get his cloths while I thought about it. As soon as he left, I turned to Reid next.

"I was going to tell him 'no', but I wanted to see what you thought first, since I'm pretty sure what you have in mind for later."

"Yeah, I don't want to be mean to him, but I usually only get to do stuff with you on the weekend, so it would be better if he sleeps in his own room."

"I know, so I'll just tell him not tonight. I'll explain that I want to write before I go to sleep and I'll probably be up for a couple more hours, so he wouldn't actually be sleeping with me for very long. Besides, I promised your parents that I'd watch Evan and Ashley tomorrow so they could do some shopping alone, so he'll be spending time with me then."

"Yeah, that should work."

"But it also means that you'll have to go to your room after we shower and wait until he falls asleep before you return."

"I know, but then we'll still be able to do something. Won't we?" I merely nodded in agreement.

Evan was coming downstairs at that moment, so Reid decided that he would merely put on the same clothes after we showered and then change up in his room afterward. This way it wouldn't hold his brother up and we wouldn't have to hear him complain again. That's why Reid rushed into my apartment and started to get undressed before Evan got all the way there.

When Evan finally reached me, I led him inside and shut the door, and when we reached the bedroom we began to strip. Reid had already gone ahead to turn on the water, so we joined him just as soon as we were done.

"So can I sleep with you tonight again, Unka Quinn?"

"First, I want to work with you on saying my name correctly. Let's break the word down into parts. Say 'un'." I then made him repeat it a few times. "Now say 'cul'." I made him repeat this even more times than he'd done with 'un'. "Now put those two parts together."

It took a few times before he was able to do it smoothly, because he hesitated between the two syllables on his initial attempts. After continuing to practice, he finally seemed to have it down. "Now just remember to say it that way from now on."

By the time he was saying it correctly, I'd finished washing him and Reid, so now they took their turn washing me. While they were doing that, I told Evan my decision and the reason for it. He obviously wasn't happy, but he asked me to do something instead.

"Will you come with me to my room and tuck me in then?"

"Sure thing, little buddy. I'd be happy to do that for you. I would have let you sleep with me, but it's just that I haven't had much chance to write while you've all been home from school. I've been spending all my time with the three of you, rather than getting any writing done."

"I know, so when can I sleep with you?"

"I'm not sure, but we'll figure something out. It may come down to you having to choose between whether you want me to do things with you during the day, or if you'd prefer to sleep with me at night."

"I want to do things with you during the day. That's more fun."

"Ok, so I'll find another time when you can sleep with me again. Over Christmas break for sure."

"K, I'll wait then."

By this time they'd finished washing me too, even though Evan had kept stopping to talk to me, so I turned off the water, dried all of us off, and helped Evan put on his pajamas. Then, I walked him upstairs and tucked him in.

Reid had walked upstairs with us, but once he saw that Evan was busy with me, he snuck back down to my apartment. When I got to my bedroom, he was naked again and laying on the mattress.

"K, get undressed and lets get started," he barked out after I'd walked through the bedroom door.

I told you he could be quite aggressive, but this time I bit my tongue and didn't reflexively respond 'yes, sir', since I knew how much it bugged him. Instead, I simply did as he asked.

I repeated all the steps that I'd performed on him Thanksgiving night, and then he did the same to me. He was just as excited and pleased with it as he had been the previous evening, and then we cuddled together, ready to sleep.

"I wish we could do this forever," he whispered as he was getting comfortable.

"Who knows? Maybe we can," I responded, causing Reid to roll over and face me again.

"I hope we can," he concurred as he kissed me one more time.

"We'll do our best then."

After hearing my reply, Reid rolled back to his original position and spooned into me again. I then placed my arm over his side, gave him one final squeeze, and kissed him on the cheek.

"Sweet dreams, my darling boy." I know I had sweet dreams that night, so I hoped he did too.

After consuming a fairly big breakfast with everyone the following morning, Brad and Pam said goodbye to the rest of us and took off to do some Christmas shopping. None of the kids seemed bothered that they weren't able to go with them, since they knew their parents would be buying things for them. While they were gone, I asked the kids what they wanted to do next.

"Let's watch a DVD," Evan suggested.

"Nah, let's play kickball instead," Ashley offered.

"It was tough enough with three people on a team, but it would be even harder with only two on each side, but I guess we could try," I pointed out.

"Let's go for a walk instead," Reid proposed.

"I'll tell you what, since you're parents will be gone for a long time, why don't we do all three. Seeing that kickball will be the most difficult, we'll do that last, and if we take a walk first, then we can watch a DVD after we get back to give us a chance to rest up. How does that sound?"

"Yeah, let's do that then," they all agreed.

I let Reid lead us again when we started out on our walk, but this time he took us in the opposite direction from our previous walk. We hadn't gone very far when we heard a child's voice.

"Evan!" it screamed, causing all of us to stop, turn, and look in that direction.

"Eric?" Evan asked, slightly uncertain. "Do you live here?"

"Yep. Where do you live?"

"Just back there," he answered, pointing in the direction we'd just come.

"Is it very far?"

"No!"

"Actually, it's just a couple of blocks from here," I added to clarify things.

"Really. Then maybe we can start playing together," Eric suggested.

"Yeah, I'd like that."

At that moment Eric's mom came out of the house to see who her son was talking too. "Eric, do you know those people?"

"Yes, Mom. This is Evan. He's in my class." Satisfied she came over to speak with us.

"Oh, it's so nice to meet you," she said as she was walking up to us. "I'm Eric's mother, Amada VanPatten."

I then introduced myself and the other kids. We quickly got acquainted and I offered to exchange phone numbers with her, so we pulled out our phones and entered the information. Then, I told her our address.

"It's so nice to meet all of you, and I'm sure we can arrange something so the boys can play together from time to time."

"I'm sure they'd both like that," I said, since both boys had huge smiles on their faces and were shifting their weight from leg to leg, dancing in place from excitement.

After we said goodbye to them, we continued our walk. A few minutes later I made eye contact with Reid and winked at him. I hoped he understood that it was to confirm my earlier statement about Evan making a friend who lived nearby and then spending time with him, so he wouldn't be as interested in spending time with us.

"I wish I could find someone I knew around here, so I'd have a girl to play with," Ashley whined, knowing Evan might have someone to do things with now. It also let us know that she might be tired of constantly being surrounded by males.

"You still might," I told her encouragingly. "They just might not have been outside when we walked past today, but it doesn't mean there aren't any girls around." That comment produced a weak smile from her, as she considered the possibility.

We finished our walk, and as soon as we got back to the house, the kids quickly chose the DVD they wanted to watch next. It was Madagascar. Reid wasn't exactly thrilled by the choice, but he agreed to watch it too, although only after I'd promised Evan and Ashley that I'd watch it with them. Therefore, we all plopped down on the sofa together and started the movie.

I hadn't seen this film before and quickly discovered it was not only cute, but it was also quite entertaining. I believe we all enjoyed it, although I think Reid found leaning against me the entire time was the best part of the experience.

After having a quick bite to eat, we went out to the backyard to play kickball next. To make the teams fair, Evan was with me, with Ashley and Reid on the other side. This turned out to be something else that Reid wasn't happy about, but he sucked it up and played hard. In fact, I think his sole goal was to make sure he beat me, which they did.

After we went back inside, I was mildly surprised that Brad and Pam hadn't arrived home yet. Either they were totally engrossed in the shopping, going at a snails pace because of the crowds, or just taking their time to make sure they got the perfect presents at the best prices.

At this point, I told the kids they were on their own, and I went out to start working on dinner. I figured Pam would be exhausted after walking around and shopping all day, so I'd take this burden from her. Just after I began, Reid came out to see if he could help, primarily because he wanted to be with me.

"You might have been right about Evan. I hope he and Eric spend lots of time together so he'll quit bugging us."

"That's a definite possibility."

We continued chatting and I assigned him fairly easy tasks to perform so he could assist me. We were still busy doing that when Brad and Pam returned home. Amazingly, they weren't carrying any packages when they entered.

"Didn't you buy anything?" the kids demanded.

"Yes, but we're going to leave everything in the Highlander until you're all in bed and asleep," Brad answered. "We didn't want you to see where we hide things, because that way you won't be as tempted to snoop around."

"Quinn, do I smell something cooking?" Pam asked next, switching subjects.

"Yes, I've got dinner going, because I didn't think you'd want to cook after shopping all day."

"How sweet and thoughtful of you. Did Reid help?"

"Yep, I did," he responded proudly.

"Yes, he's getting to be very capable in the kitchen. He even helped me fix lunch for everyone."

"Then maybe he did get those genes," Pam joked. However, everyone else looked a bit confused, but neither of us offered an explanation about her comment.

"Why don't you two go sit down and relax for a while, and I'll call you when dinner's ready," I suggested to distract the others from thinking about Pam's previous statement.

"That sounds like an excellent idea," Brad concurred. "I'm not fond of spending my day shopping, so I'll fix myself a stiff drink and take it easy until we eat. Can I fix you a drink too, Quinn?"

"Sure, but not too strong. I'll enjoy it while I'm finishing up in here."

"Mommy, I saw one of my friends today!" Evan offered next. "He doesn't live very far from here."

"That's nice, honey," she replied and then looked up at me after saying this. Figuring out what she wanted, I gave her the details about meeting Eric and his mother. "Maybe we can arrange for you boys to get together sometime then."

"Yay! Maybe he can stay over with me too!"

"We'll talk about that later, because I'd like to meet him first." That seemed to be enough to satisfy Evan, so the kids went on to tell her about the other things we'd done while they were gone.

After dinner, we spent the rest of the night with the kids, watching holiday programs on TV. When it was time for them to get ready for bed, Evan showered with us again, and during the shower he had plenty to say.

"If Eric stays over with me, can we shower with you, Uncle Quinn?"

"First of all, I want to congratulate for saying my name correctly this time. Now, as far as Eric goes, that wouldn't be a good idea. I'd imagine his parents would become very upset if they found out he was showering with an adult man they'd just met."

"K, but I want to take a bath with him, so would you wash us? I don't think he'd want my mommy to see him with nothin' on. I wouldn't want his mommy to give me a bath."

"I might be able to do that, but let's wait until his parents agree to let him stay over first."

"K."

Evan must have still been thinking about Eric when we finished up, because he never asked to sleep with me that night. Instead, after I'd dried us off and helped him put on his pajamas, I walked Evan up to his room and tucked him in. His mother was just coming over to do the same thing as I was leaving, so she thanked me and went inside to say goodnight to her son.

After spending some time with Reid, I asked him to wait in my apartment while I went to talk something over with his parents. He did as I asked, so I went out and got a conversation started with Brad and Pam.

"Would you mind if I took all three kids out shopping tomorrow. I want them to walk with me through a bunch of different stores so I can see what types of things catch their attention. I'm not going to buy anything right then, but it will give me an idea about the items they might enjoy."

"We don't have a problem with you doing that, but we'd let you look at their Christmas lists if you want, because that would be a lot easier," Brad reasoned.

"I know, but I don't want to choose something you might wish to get them. As soon as I make up my list using the ideas I get from them, then I'll look at their Christmas lists to see if those items are there too. If they are, I'll ask if you two bought that item already or if you're planning to get it for them. That way, I'll whittle down my list too."

"That's fine with us," Pam added. "If they're with you, then I'll be able to get a lot more done around the house, so you definitely have my approval."

Now that this had been cleared up, I said goodnight to them and went back to join Reid. He was already naked and waiting for me, impatient to get started. I didn't have a problem doing what he wanted, and we were soon going through the same motions that we had performed on each other the previous evening. It proved to be just as rewarding and satisfying too, so we were both very content as we cuddled together in bed and fell asleep.

The following morning after we ate breakfast with the family, I loaded the kids into my car and headed toward he mall. "Are you gonna buy stuff for us?"

"Not today, but I wanted to walk around and get some ideas for later. I don't want you kids with me when I buy things for you, so I'll do that one day while you're in school."

"So why did you want us to come with you?"

"I thought you could help give me ideas for what I might buy your mom and dad. If you see something they might like, then point it out to me."

"Ok," they chorused back.

For the next couple of hours, I led them through several stores and took them through nearly every department, including the boys and girls departments, as well as toys. I think they got the message about what I was actually up to, because I soon began to hear comments such as "I like this," "I wouldn't mind having that," or "This is really neat!"

We were just walking out of another store when an older teen moved in front of us, looked between Reid and me, and then spoke. "Hey, I know you guys. I saw you in the car at the stop sign."

"Yes, you did," I quickly responded, not giving him time to say more, "but you misinterpreted what you saw that day. He's my nephew and was merely tired after the football game, so he was leaning against me out of exhaustion."

"Yeah, right," the boys scoffed.

"He is our uncle, and this is my brother and sister," Reid quickly chimed in.

"Yeah, and we love Uncle Quinn," Evan and Ashley said at nearly the same time.

Suddenly, the boys didn't look quite as sure of himself, so I took the opportunity to drag the kids off to the next store. The teen remained standing where he was and merely followed us with his eyes, but thankfully he didn't say anything else. Hopefully, we'd put enough doubt in his mind so he wouldn't follow us and try to cause a problem.

"Who was that boy?" Ashley asked after we'd entered the store.

"Just someone we saw one night in the car," I answered.

"So he doesn't really know you?" she followed.

"No, he may have recognized us, but he certainly doesn't know us," I confirmed.

"He looked mean," Evan observed, as he remarked about the scowl on the boy's face.

"Yes, he didn't look or sound very friendly, but hopefully he'll leave us alone and we won't see him again."

I then quickly pointed at something I spotted on a display and commented about it, to distract the kids and get them to forget about that unfortunate encounter. Luckily, the teen hadn't said anything really bad or made any accusations the kids might have questioned, so I was able to avoid giving any further explanations.

Chapter 21
The Van Pattens

The kids returned to school on Monday and things returned to normal. That was until Thursday afternoon, when I got an unexpected call from Eric's mother.

"Hi, it's Amanda Van Patten and I'm calling to clear something up. Eric told me Evan wants him to spend the night sometime, possibly this weekend?"

"Evan has mentioned that he'd like Eric to stay over sometime, but as far as I know there hasn't been any date discussed for when that might happen," I replied. "I told him you'd probably like to get to know us better before letting Eric spend the night, but he's impatient, like most kids."

"Yes, that's what I figured, and you're right, I would like to get to know all of you first, before I let Eric do something like that."

"Just as we suspected. If you'd like, you could come over sometime this weekend and meet Evan's parents. The boys could play while we talked, and then one of us could show you around the house."

"That would definitely be helpful, because I know Eric is going to keep bugging me about this."

"Yes, just like Evan is doing with us. Would Saturday afternoon work for you?"

"That would be fine. Would 2:00 be convenient?"

"Yes, so I'll let Brad and Pam know too. We'll be expecting you then."

I knew Evan was excited about possibly having Eric stay over, but to my knowledge Pam had never given him the ok for it to happen. Now, he was chomping at the bit and had mentioned it to Eric, who in turn mentioned it to his mother. Now, I'd have to sit down with Brad and Pam so I could explain this to them.

When the kids got home from school, I pulled Evan aside and confronted him about this. "Evan, did you ask Eric to stay over tomorrow night?"

He looked up at me, his eyes open as far as they would go, which made him look scared. "I just told him maybe he could stay over with me sometime."

"So you didn't ask him to stay over this weekend?"

"I don't think so. I just said maybe he could come home with me some Friday and stay most of Saturday too."

After hearing his answer, I concluded it might have just been a harmless discussion that Eric had misunderstood. In a way, it might have been a good thing that it happened, though, because now Brad and Pam would get to meet Amanda too.

After dinner, I asked to speak with Brad and Pam alone. First of all, I explained about the phone call from Amanda, and then I told them about inviting her to visit.

"That's fine, because I want to meet her too," Pam quickly agreed. "If our sons are going to be playing with each other, I want to know what she and her husband are like first."

"I'll be here as well, but I'll let you two handle things," Brad chimed in. "I'm sure her husband probably feels the same way."

"She didn't mention that he'd be coming with them, so you might be right," I confirmed. "However, I think both Evan and Eric are hoping this goes well so they'll be able to start playing together."

"I have no doubt about that," Brad agreed.

Once that had been agreed to, we went to spend time with the kids. While we were doing that, we mentioned to them about the visit.

"Evan's friend, Eric, will be coming over on Saturday with his mother, so they can meet all of us," Pam began. "That means tomorrow night and Saturday morning I want you to help me make sure the house is clean and everything looks nice so we can show them around."

I knew Evan and Reid wouldn't have a problem helping out, because Evan wanted to make sure Eric could come over, and Reid wanted it to happen too. I was just hoping that Ashley would chip in as well, even though she didn't have anything to gain from doing this. Hopefully, she'd do it just to help her mother out.

That night during our shower, Reid had a lot to say. "I'm really glad that Evan's friend might start spending some time with him. Then, he'll stopping wanting to do stuff with us."

"Maybe to a certain extent, but I think you heard him tell me that he wants me to give them a bath together."

"Yeah, but that doesn't take very long, so it's not as bad as having Evan hanging around all the time or wanting to sleep with us."

"Yes, it won't be that bad, so I'm glad you understand that I might have to do some things with him."

"But you're not going to shower with them, right?"

"No, I don't think that would be a good idea."

"K, I was just wondering if we'd all end up showering together."

"No, there's too great a chance that accusations might be made if it was discovered that I was naked in the shower with them."

"Yeah, I guess so."

After we finished, we dried off and then Reid and I cuddled together in bed. No matter how much I enjoyed doing this with him, I was still amazed that he'd been able to convince his parents to let him sleep with me every night. I wasn't about to complain or question this, though, because I realized I probably wouldn't be able to sleep without him beside me now.

I spent most of the day Friday cleaning my apartment, the kitchen, and other parts of the house. Then, after dinner, Pam and I supervised the kids to make sure their rooms were clean and organized. Reid's wasn't too bad, since he hardly spent any time there, so I helped Evan vacuum, dust, and straighten his room, while Pam did the same with Ashley.

When I showered with Evan and Reid that night, Evan was nearly beside himself with excitement. "I can't wait for Eric to get here tomorrow. He said we can play while our mommies talk."

"Yes, I think that's what has been agreed to."

"When do you think he can stay over?"

"I'm not sure. Maybe we can discuss that with Eric's mother while she's here."

"K, but I hope it's soon."

When we finished our shower, I dried us all off quickly, helped Evan get into his pajamas and then took him up to his room and tucked him in. He was still very excited thinking about Eric coming here the following day, so I hoped he calmed down quickly and was able to get some sleep.

The next morning, we finished getting the house ready before Evan and Ashley went to watch their Saturday shows. They only stopped when they were called out for lunch, and then Pam asked the kids to get cleaned up and dressed before our guests arrived, since they were still in their pajamas. We were all looking our best when the doorbell rang shortly after 2:00.

"Hello, I'm Pam. Welcome to our home and please come in." she greeted our visitors at the door.

"Hi, I'm Amanda, and I want to thank you for inviting us. This is Eric, and I hope you don't mind that I brought my daughter, Rylee, too, since my husband is out helping a friend."

"No, that's fine and Rylee appears to be close to my daughter's age. I'll introduce her and the others to you in a minute."

"I've already met your other children, but Rylee hasn't. That's one reason why I didn't think it would be a problem if she came with us."

"It's nice to meet you too, Rylee. How old are you?"

"I'm nine, but I'll be ten in March."

"Then let's go meet the others. My daughter, Ashley, is ten, but she'll turn eleven in April, so she's only a year older than you."

"Mommy, can I take Eric up to my room to play?" Evan asked.

"Let's introduce him to everyone else first, and then you can do that."

Evan didn't want to wait, but he knew better than to argue. Therefore, they all followed Pam as she led them to the family room. "I think you've all have met Quinn, but this is my husband, Brad, my daughter, Ashley, and my other son, Reid."

Pam then introduced Amanda and the children to her family. Ashley's eyes immediately lit up when she was introduced to Rylee and learned her age. As soon as the introductions had been made, Evan took off with Eric, and then Ashley asked if she could show Rylee her room. Once that had been agreed to, they also took off, leaving the rest of us to chat.

Pam then told Amanda a little about the family, including me, and then Amanda reciprocated by telling us about her family. After we got to know each other better, Pam took Amanda on a tour of the house, while Brad, Reid, and I decided to watch a college football game on TV. We did that until the women returned, and then we turned down the volume and stopped to chat with them a little more.

"You have a lovely home, and both of my children seem to be getting along very well with your children, so I think this will work out splendidly," Amanda stated.

"I think so too," Pam concurred.

"And Evan tells me that he spends quite a bit of time with you, Quinn. I take it you're close with all of the children?" Amanda followed.

"Yes, I watch them while their parents are at work, since I work from home. That means I'm with them quite a bit."

"I had a feeling, since Evan mentioned you a lot. He seems very fond of you."

"As I am of him."

"Then you wouldn't mind if he included Eric in on the time he spends with you?"

"No, that would be fine. Evan, Reid, and I often do things together, so adding one more won't be a problem at all."

"I'm glad to hear that. My husband is involved in a great many things, so unfortunately he doesn't spend much time at home. I think Eric will enjoy being around another man who actually pays attention to him."

"Brad and I will definitely do our best then," I agreed for both of us, with Brad nodding in agreement.

"That would be wonderful."

We then spent the next half hour chatting with Amanda, when Evan and Eric burst into the room. "When can Eric stay over with me?" Evan practically demanded.

"Soon, but not today," Amanda answered. "In fact, I have an idea and a favor to ask of you. My husband and I have been invited to a Christmas party two weeks from tonight with the people he works with. If you wouldn't mind, do you think Eric and Rylee might be able to stay over then? If you're willing, then Evan and Ashley can stay with us next weekend."

Brad and Pam looked at each other and communicated non-verbally first, before Pam answered. "If you want, then Quinn could bring Evan and Ashley to your house next Friday and they can stay until Saturday. As for the following weekend, Quinn can either pick up your children after school on Friday or you can drop them off early Saturday afternoon, and then they can stay until Sunday, if that's alright with you."

"Actually, it would work out wonderfully if you wouldn't mind them coming here on Friday. It would give me time to do some Christmas shopping without them first, and then Bob and I can go to the party the following night."

Seeing that had been agreed to, Amanda was ready to leave, so Pam asked Reid to run upstairs and have Ashley and Rylee come down. When they did, the two mothers attempted to find out how they'd hit it off.

"Did you have fun?" Amanda asked Rylee.

"Yes, we played with Ashley's dolls," Rylee answered with a grin.

"We were just talking about maybe having Ashley and Evan go to your house to stay over next weekend, and then you two would stay with us the weekend after that. Would you like to do that?"

"Yes," both girls squealed excitedly. It was apparent they got along well with each other and were enthusiastic about having another girl to hang out with.

After the Van Pattens left, Pam and I sat down with Evan and Ashley to talk with them about a few things, while Brad and Reid went back to watching the football game.

"I'm glad both of you have found someone you like to hang out with," Pam began, "but I also want you to know that I expect you to be on your best behavior when you're with them. If I get any bad reports while you're staying at their house, or if we have any problems when they stay here, then we might just have to stop allowing you to hang out with each other."

"Don't worry. We won't let that happen," Ashley assured her mother.

"Yeah, we'll be really good, cuz I want to spend lots of time with Eric," Evan agreed.

Since everything seemed to be going well, I went to watch the football games with Brad and Reid. The game they were currently watching was just about over, so Reid filled me in quickly, and then I watched the exciting finish with them.

As soon as that game ended, Brad found another, so we began watching that one as well. Seeing Pam was doing the cooking today, I was able to stay and watch the games with them, and Reid leaned against me nearly the entire time. If we were alone, I suspect he would have wanted to be more affectionate with me as well. I didn't mind him doing this, but I noticed Brad was well aware of what Reid was doing too, so sometimes it became a little uncomfortable for me, knowing what Brad was probably thinking.

We spent the rest of the day watching football, except for when we stopped to eat, and then during halftime of the last game, I took Evan and Reid to shower.

"Do you think me and Eric will take a bath together when I stay over with him?" Evan asked as I was washing him.

"Since you're only staying one night, his mother may just let you boys skip taking a bath," I offered.

"But I want to see his wiener," Evan countered as he began to pout.

"Even if you don't see it then, you'll probably see it when he stays with us, since he'll be here for two nights."

"K, but I don't want to wait," Evan whined.

"Don't make a big deal about it," I warned. "If you do, then Eric's mother might not let him stay here, either that or she'll see your wiener when she gives you a bath with Eric."

"No, I don't want her to do that," he spat back, "so I'll wait until he stays here."

After I'd finished cleaning the boys and they'd washed me, I dried us off, helped Evan put on his pajamas, and then walked both boys up to their rooms, before tucking Evan in bed. He had obviously forgotten about sleeping with me, now that Eric was in the picture, which pleased Reid more than me.

Once Evan was in bed, I noticed Reid sneaking past Evan's room on his way down to my apartment. When I got there, he was already naked and waiting for me in bed. I figured I knew what he wanted, so I began as I normally would. After we finished kissing and I'd moved down to his chest, he asked a question.

"When are we going to do something new and different?"

"I'm not sure, but it won't be too much longer. I'm just trying to decide what we should do next?"

"I hope you don't take too much longer to make up your mind, cuz I'm ready to try other stuff."

"I know, and we'll try something different before the end of the year."

"K. I guess I can wait until then."

After that had been cleared up, I went back to concentrating on Reid's chest, before moving lower. By the time I'd finished, I had fingered, rimmed, and sucked him off, and then he did the same to me. Once he finished, we cuddled together and fell asleep.

When we got up on Sunday morning, Evan and Ashley were still excited about what they'd done with Eric and Rylee when they were here with their mother the previous day. They also told us what they hoped to do when they stayed over at the Van Pattens' house the following weekend. Their upcoming visit seemed to be as thrilling for them as waiting for Christmas morning or a trip to an amusement park, so I hoped they weren't disappointed afterward.

Reid was also excited, because it meant he would be alone with me and wouldn't have to go up to his room after we showered. I think he was also hoping that would be when I'd try something new with him, but if that was what he expected, I knew he was going to be disappointed. I was planning to do that for him as a Christmas surprise.

It seemed all the kids wanted to talk about that afternoon was their upcoming sleepover, as they tried to plan the things they might do. They were also looking forward to the following weekend when Eric and Rylee would be staying with us. It was fun seeing them so excited about this, on top of looking forward to Christmas too, but it meant we had our hands full trying to keep them from bouncing off the walls.

Fortunately, Evan and Ashley had calmed down enough so they were able to fall asleep at bedtime, either that or they'd merely passed out from total exhaustion due to the mental workout. Pam and I had discussed the situation earlier in the day, since we were concerned that they'd be so hyper that they might not be able to sleep well. However, we were both pleased that it wasn't the case and the kids were sound asleep shortly after we'd left their rooms.

Even after a good night's rest each evening, Evan and Ashley still seemed to be very worked up about their upcoming visit throughout the week, so we did what we could to help them stay as calm as possible. Even though we'd experienced a modicum of success, they were still mildly hyper, so I wondered what Amanda and Bob would be facing when the kids stayed over on Friday night.

By the time they got home from school on Friday afternoon, Evan and Ashley were rearing to go. I told them that I would help them pack an overnight bag first, since they would need pajamas and clothes for the following day, along with anything else they might want to take with them.

Evan thought about this for a while, but he couldn't think of anything he wanted to take, other than his clothes. That was fine with me, so I helped him select some underwear, pajamas, and play clothes for the following day. Once I'd finished doing that, I went over to see how Ashley was doing.

When I got to her room, Ashley seemed to be just about finished putting her things into an overnight bag, so I merely asked her a few questions, to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything.

"Did you take underwear? Pajamas or a nightgown? Clothes for tomorrow? Anything else you might want to have?"

"Yes, I've put all those things in here with two of my dolls. They're the ones Rylee and I played with when she was here, so I thought she might like to play with them again."

"That's a good idea, so just make sure you bring everything back with you on Saturday."

"K, I will."

Before we left the house, I asked Reid if he wanted to go with us, but he said he'd wait there until I returned. I felt he was old enough to do that on his own, so I agreed it would be fine. Then, I went to take Evan and Ashley.

Seeing Eric and Rylee didn't live very far away, I decided to walk the kids there, instead of taking the car. I ended up carrying each of their bags, since they found them difficult to manage after a block, and we still had a little over a block to go. I'd concluded we'd get there sooner if I took the bags for them, and a short time later we were approaching the house. Eric and Rylee were waiting for us out front and came running to greet us as we approached.

"You're here," Rylee squealed.

"Come on, Evan. I'll show you my room," Eric quickly added.

"Let's not rush things," I urged. "We'll stop to see your mother first, in case she has something else in mind."

"K," they all relented.

Amanda already had the door open by the time we got there, so we all went inside. "I'm glad you arrived, because I wasn't sure if I'd be able to keep these two from running down the street to your house so they could drag you here."

"I know what you mean. These two were just as eager, so I hope they all calm down and aren't a problem for you."

"I'm sure they'll be fine, now that they're together."

"Can I take Evan to my room?" Eric asked next.

"Yes, take him and his things to your bedroom and you can play there for now. And Rylee, you and Ashley can do the same."

After the kids took off, Amanda and I talked a little longer before I said goodbye and returned home.

Reid seemed thrilled to have me all to himself, although I reminded him his mother and father would be home soon. "I know, but Evan won't be showering with us tonight and I can spend all my time with you."

Somehow, I felt he already had an idea about what he wanted us to do later, so I planned on a fairly long and aggressive session with him once we finished our shower. I just hoped that I'd have enough stamina to keep up with him, since he was so much younger and recovered much more quickly than I did. However, only time would tell. I just hoped Amanda and Bob weren't facing a similar problem by having to keep up with four rambunctious kids.

Chapter 22
Getting Into the Holiday Spirit

I called Amanda shortly after noon on Saturday to see when she wanted me to pick up the kids. "They're having such a wonderful time playing with each other that I hate to bring it to an end," she explained. "Would 6:00 be ok with you?"

"Yes, that would be fine. Since it gets dark earlier now, I'll drive down to pick them up this time."

"Ok, I'll see you then."

Both Brad and Pam offered to pick the kids up so I wouldn't have to, but I told them I didn't mind. Besides, Pam was busy fixing dinner and Brad was more interested in the football game than I was, since none of my teams were playing. Although Reid hadn't told me directly what he was doing, he said he had a few things to take care of and had gone up to his room. I was under the impression it involved his Christmas presents for everyone, so he wasn't currently with me, which left me in the best position to do this.

When I got to the Van Patten's house, Amanda invited me in. "Bob's not here, as usual, but I wanted to talk to you before I called the kids. When I went to give the boys a bath, Evan didn't want me to do it. He said he was too old for a girl to be giving him a bath, so I asked him if his mom did it for him. That's when he told me that you either gave him his bath or he would shower with you."

"Yes, that's true, so I hope it didn't create a problem for you." I was getting nervous and wondered where this conversation was going.

"No, not at all. I've been expecting Eric to get to that point soon, so it didn't come as a surprise at all. I just wanted to let you know that I'm fine if you give Eric a bath too, or even if you let him shower with you. I think it would be good for him to see that a man can do those things for his son or nephew."

"I appreciate you being so open-minded, because Evan has asked if I'd let them shower with me when Eric stayed over."

"I'd definitely appreciate it if you would do that with them, since Bob would never even consider giving him a bath. I think it would be good for Eric to see that some men aren't like his dad. Don't take this the wrong way, because Bob is a wonderful provider, but he's not a hands-on type of father. He's also gone a lot, because he's involved in so many other things."

"I was just worried about what you or your husband might think if you knew that I bathed Eric. Even worse, I didn't know what you'd imagine if I let the boys shower with me and Eric saw me naked?"

"It seems that Pam and Brad both trust you, so I do too. And if you are worried about things like that, you don't have to be. Eric would never tell his father he'd done anything like that, and I've already given you my approval, so there won't be a problem."

"I really appreciate this, and I know it will make Evan very happy too."

"I could tell, because he seems to like doing those things with you. I think I also overheard him and Eric doing a little show and tell after I'd put them to bed."

"Typical boys."

"Oh, it's not just boys. Ashley and Rylee took a shower together too. I stayed in the bathroom with them, but I let them wash each other and they did much the same thing."

"That's good to know, and I'm glad Ashley has another girl to do those things with. Other than her mother, she's always been surrounded by males."

"Yes, both of my children have been looking for others of the same gender to spend time with, because they've only had each other."

"Then this should work out just fine."

Amanda then went to tell the kids to get their things, because I was waiting to take them home. I could hear the kids grumbling that they didn't want to leave yet, but she and I both told them they'd have more time together the following weekend, when Eric and Rylee stayed with us. That seemed to suffice, so they got their overnight bags and came down to leave with me.

It was a short ride to the house, and the kids spent the entire time telling me how much fun they'd had and what they'd done while they were there. It seemed as if they had all hit it off, so it looked as if these friendships would take care of our problem about them wanting to have someone their age or gender to play with.

Evan and Ashley also told their mother about their visit after they went inside, and she was smiling as she listened to them. I think they knew better than to bother their father while he was watching a football game, so they settled for their mother and me instead.

After they finished, I stuck around to chat with Pam too. Once the kids had left the room, I told her the things that Amanda had said to me as well.

"I'm glad to hear that, but it really doesn't surprise me. In the short time I spent with Amanda when she was here, I got the impression that her husband had become an absentee father and didn't spend much time with the family. I think she might see you as a positive role model for her son."

"I wonder if she'd still feel that way if she knew I was gay?"

"I can't say for certain, but I have a feeling it probably wouldn't bother her in the slightest. I think she's more worried about the negative impact her husband is having on her son by not doing things with Eric."

"I certainly hope you're right about this."

After dinner, Reid and Evan went with Brad and me to watch the football game. I wasn't sure what Ashley and Pam were up to, but they must have found something they could do together, since we didn't see them for quite a while. Possibly it was just girl-talk about the weekend, so Ashley could share the things she didn't want us guys to hear.

When Evan and Reid went with me to take their shower later, Evan had plenty to tell me. "I wouldn't let Eric's mommy give me a bath, but she wasn't mad. Then, me and Eric showed each other our wieners when we were in bed."

"I'm glad that worked out for you then."

"I wish Eric could take a shower with us, but you can still give us a bath."

"Actually, Eric's mother already told me that you didn't want her to give you a bath. She also said you told her that I bathed you or you took a shower with me, so she gave me permission to do that with Eric too."

"So we can all shower together?"

"Yes, that's what she said, but don't tell anyone else that we're doing this."

"Ok, I won't."

"So there will be four of us in your shower?" Reid followed, and I could tell he was trying to imagine what it would be like. "Will we all fit?"

"It might be a little crowded, but I think we can manage, unless you'd rather wait until I finish washing the younger boys."

"No, I'll try it. If it's not too bad, then I'll do it with all of you whenever Eric's is here."

"I'm glad you got his mommy to say it was ok," Evan added.

"Actually, I think it was you that convinced her when you told her I did those things with you." Evan's face was glowing when he realized he might have made it possible for all of us to shower together.

When we finished, I took Evan to his room and put him in bed, and he made one final comment before I left. "Thank you, Uncle Quinn. I'm glad you're gonna shower with me and Eric."

"You're welcome, little buddy, and I hope everything goes well."

I then returned to my apartment, where Reid was already waiting for me. After we were alone, I decided to clarify something. "I'm surprised you agreed to shower with us when Eric was here."

"Why? I don't mind. I think it will be interesting to see how he compares to Evan and what I remember looking like at that age."

"I take it you're referring to penis size?" Reid blushed slightly.

"Yeah, but I just want to see if there's any difference."

"I didn't think you were interested in younger boys."

"Not to do stuff with, but I don't mind checkin' them out. I do that with the other boys at school too, like in the boys room and locker room, but it doesn't mean I want to do stuff with them. I only want to do that with you."

"I wasn't complaining. I was just trying to find out if maybe you'd changed your mind."

"No way! I want us to be together always. I love you, Uncle Quinn, and that will never change."

"I love you too, and I wouldn't mind if we stayed together either, but because you're so young I'll leave you an out, if you ever want to take it."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that if you decide later that you'd rather try being with someone closer to your own age, then I'll do my best to understand and not make a big deal about it."

"It won't ever happen. I promise. Well, maybe I'd fool around with them a little, but that's all!"

"That would be fine too."

Once we finished our discussion, Reid attacked me like an animal in heat. He was all over me, kissing and pawing at every part of my body, so it made me wonder if he was trying to prove how much he wanted to be with me. I didn't have a problem with it, though, but tonight he never let up and took care of me first, instead of the other way around. Once I'd enjoyed my release, I took a more leisurely approach with him. I did this for two reasons: first to allow his body time to calm down a bit, but also to remind him that sex could be slow and gentle too.

I didn't do anything different tonight and focused on the things I knew he liked. That included kissing, rimming, fingering, and sucking, and I was surprised that he was able to last nearly as long as he normally would have, seeing he'd worked on me first. Maybe it was because I'd given him a little time to calm down before I started, although it was possible his sexual stamina was improving as well. Anyway, once he fed me his tasty boy-cream, we cuddled together and fell asleep, content in each other's embrace.

Sunday proved to be a pretty laid back day, since the kids were all very happy and focused on different things. We were also looking forward to the upcoming the week, because Evan and Ashley were going to be involved in the Holiday Concerts at their schools. Reid wouldn't be taking part, though, because the seventh and eighth graders were only involved if they were part of the chorus, band, or orchestra, and Reid had never signed up for any of those things. In addition to the concerts, Evan and Ashley were eagerly anticipating having Eric and Rylee staying with us on the weekend. They were excited about Christmas too, which was just two weeks away.

After dinner, I checked with Brad and Pam to make sure we were all on the same page when it came to the upcoming week. I explained that I'd be out doing some shopping during the day, but I'd be joining them for Evan's concert on Tuesday, and Ashley's concert on Wednesday. Then, we'd be having Eric and Rylee from Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon, and I'd help out with them too. Once that had been confirmed, we spent the rest of our time with the kids.

Nothing much happened on Monday, but I was quite busy on Tuesday. After doing some more Christmas shopping, I retuned home and made sure Evan's things were laid out for the concert. I did this because I knew we'd have to rush through dinner after Brad and Pam got home from work, and then one of us would have to help Evan get ready for the concert. Either Pam or I would take him upstairs to wash his face, comb his hair, and help him get dressed after the meal, before hopping into the Highlander and heading to school.

Seeing Evan and Eric were in the same class, we ran into Amanda and Rylee when we dropped him off at his classroom. Rylee, however, would also be performing, so she had to go to her classroom too. She was a year younger than Ashley, so she was only in fourth grade and still attending the elementary school. As soon as both of her kids were where they belonged, Amanda came out and sat down with the rest of us to watch the various grades perform.

Each class performed very well, although the younger grades were the cutest, because they were also the ones who did things that weren't expected. They were more likely to wave or say 'hi' to their parents before they sang, while a few of them also made faces or covered their ears when someone next to them was shouting, rather than singing. A couple of little boys obviously had to use the toilet when they were performing, because they were holding themselves and dancing in place, trying to last until the song ended. It was a cute and entertaining evening.

The following night was just as hectic, because it was Ashley's turn to be in the spotlight. After she went off to be with her classmates, the rest of us found seats so we'd be able to see her fairly well. Her group led off the concert, and once they were done, we sat through the rest of the evening watching the older kids perform. I had to admit that each of those groups did fairly well, especially the band, but the orchestra sometimes sounded more like a cat fight than a musical selection.

It took a while for us to locate Ashley when the concert ended, seeing there were so many parents trying to find their children, but once she joined us, we quickly headed home. Now, there was only one more day before Eric and Rylee would be joining us.

Thursday proved to be fairly routine and quite uneventful too. After dinner that night, we merely watched a couple holiday themed programs with the kids, as we attempted to keep them calm until the weekend.

Amanda dropped Eric and Rylee off shortly after they got home from school on Friday, much to Evan and Ashley's delight. The two pairs quickly disappeared, as they went off to Evan and Ashley's bedrooms to play and drop off the things Eric and Rylee had brought with them, so Reid and I left them alone. Since we weren't sure about what Eric and Rylee liked to eat, Pam and I had decided to order pizza for dinner, since all kids liked that. I'd also made a salad, and we had several different dressings for them to choose from, but I also had a couple of other backup plans, just in case.

Shortly after Brad and Pam arrived home, we called everyone down to eat. I'd previously phoned in the pizza order and told them when I wanted it delivered. Then, while we were eating, we asked Eric and Rylee about the different kinds of foods they liked, so we'd know what we could fix whenever they were with us. They were quite talkative, so we learned a great deal from them, and dinner was a success for more than just what we ate.

As soon as we got up from the table, the kids wanted to see what was on TV. We quickly found a holiday program that they all agreed to watch, and then we found another one after that, so they all seemed fairly happy. When the last show ended, it was time for them to get ready for bed, so Pam took the girls up with her and left me with the boys. Eric and Evan went up to Evan's room to get their things first, but soon returned to my apartment, so we could take our shower together.

"I can't wait to do this," Eric squealed with excitement. "I've never taken a shower before, but I've never done anything like this with anybody else."

"So you've never taken a bath with someone else?" Evan asked as he looked at Eric.

"No, never, and I've never seen anyone older without his clothes on. The only other wiener I ever saw was yours."

"I'm glad you're looking forward to this, and your mother said it was ok for us to do it, but you shouldn't tell anyone else about showering with us," I suggested. "They might think it's wrong for a boy to shower with a man."

"That's silly, but I won't say nuttin'," he agreed.

Since that was settled, we all started getting undressed. As soon as Eric and Evan had taken off their clothes, they checked each other out again and groped each other's genitals playfully. They then explained they hadn't been able to see each other's penis very well the previous weekend, since the light was already off in Eric's bedroom, so they made up for it now. As soon as they finished doing that, Eric focused on Reid and me. He was like a kid in a candy store as he inspected our equipment, and his mouth was hanging open in amazement.

"They've got really big wieners, huh Eric," Evan commented, since Eric seemed to be unable to speak.

"Uh huh," was all he was barely able to reply. "And they got hair around them too."

"Uncle Quinn says that will happen to us too, when we get as old as Reid."

"Goody," Eric responded.

"Ok, it's time to head to the shower. Reid, will you please go start the water for us?"

"Yeah, sure," Reid offered, after he finished checking Eric out too.

When we got to the shower, I washed Evan first, so Eric could see exactly what I was doing, and then I washed him too. He didn't seem to have a problem with anything I did, and then he and Evan wanted to help me wash Reid next. I let them do the front, while I washed Reid's backside, but I wasn't really paying attention to what they were doing. I figured Reid would let me know if they did something he didn't like.

As soon as they finished with Reid, they all wanted to wash me next. Seeing I was taller than Reid, I told Eric and Evan that they could do the bottom half, while Reid did the top. They agreed, so Evan chose to wash my butt and the back of my legs, while Eric did the front. I was thoroughly enjoying Reid washing around my nipples, when I realized someone was stroking my penis. I looked down and discovered it was Eric who was doing it.

"Uh, maybe you should skip that part," I suggested.

"Why? You washed my wiener."

"Yes, but I'm not sure this is something you should be doing."

"I washed Reid's wiener and he didn't say nuttin," Eric objected. This caused me to look at Reid and he merely nodded his head. "It was fun and his wiener started getting stiff."

I was somewhat flabbergasted by his comment and didn't immediately realize that he continued to wash my penis while we'd been talking. I quickly thought back to my conversation with his mother, and since she didn't have a problem with him showering with me, I was hoping this wouldn't bother her either, but I offered Eric a warning.

"Just don't tell anyone you did this to Reid or me then. Ok?"

"Yeah, I won't say nuttin."

However, I soon advised the boys I was clean enough so they could stop, and then I quickly rinsed, turned off the water, and we all stepped out of the shower. Reid dried himself this time, while I dried the other two, and then I quickly dried myself.

"That was fun," Eric stated, his face radiant. "I can't wait to do it again."

"We'll do it tomorrow too," Evan quickly confirmed. Reid and I merely glanced at each other, slowly shaking our heads in amazement.

Once we left the bathroom, I helped Eric and Evan put on their pajamas, and then I tossed something on so I could take them up to Evan's room. After I tucked them in Evan's bed, I kissed Evan on the forehead and wished them both sweet dreams.

"Hey, how about me?" Eric challenged as I got ready to leave.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"You kissed Evan, but not me."

"I wasn't sure you'd want me to do that."

"Yeah, I want you to do the same things to me that you do with him."

"Ok," I agreed, as I bent down and kissed him on the forehead too.

"Yeah, I like that," he quipped as he smiled broadly. All I could think of was that this was something else his father never did with him, although Eric would have liked him to.

When I returned to my apartment, Reid was waiting for me. I hadn't noticed that he didn't walk upstairs with us, since I was so focused on the two younger boys, so I hoped they hadn't noticed either. I didn't want this to turn into a problem or a major issue, but I supposed I could always tell them that Reid just waited to talk to me, if either of them asked. However, I had a few questions for Reid too.

"Why didn't you say something when Eric started washing your penis?"

"I didn't mind, and I could see he liked doin' it, like Evan that first time when he grabbed your dick."

"So he only washed it?"

"Mostly, but he kinda ran his hand up and down it a few times too, and that's when it started getting hard."

"So he caused you to have an erection?"

"It didn't get that hard, only part way."

"Ok. I'll keep a closer eye on him tomorrow then, but hopefully he'll keep his word and not tell anyone else about this. I don't think his mom would make a big deal about it, since she agreed to let him shower with us, but I don't know his dad and would prefer not to have a problem with him or anyone else."

"Yeah, but I could tell Eric was only being curious. I think it was the first dick he'd seen or touched, besides Evan's and his own."

"Yes, he said something like that, but we still have to be very careful."

"Yeah, I know, but he was really cute in there. His dick is a little smaller than Evan's, but it's just as cute."

"Yes, other than being a tad smaller, they're almost identical, since he's circumcised as well. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure if they're the same age, although I assume they are since they're in the same class, but his sister is a year younger than Ashley. I guess I'll have to remember to ask him about that tomorrow."

"I'm pretty sure they're the same age, but you can still check."

"I'm glad I have your approval," I joked.

"Very funny, but now you have my approval to get started doin' stuff with me."

He wasn't very subtle, but I took my cue and began to make out with him. He was more passionate tonight, rather than aggressive, but he was also aroused more easily too. I wasn't sure if that was partially due to Eric having played with his penis earlier or if it might be because Reid had also been able to check him out as well. Then again, it might have been a combination of those things, along with what I was doing to him at the time. No matter what caused it, he ejaculated a lot sooner than he normally would have that evening, and then he went to work on me.

As soon as he got me off too, we cuddled together and eventually drifted off to sleep, although it took me a little longer than it took Reid. As I lay there, I couldn't help but wonder what the rest of the weekend was going to be like.

Chapter 23
An Interesting Weekend

After we had breakfast with the kids on Saturday morning, we let them go watch their shows on TV next. While they were doing that, I decided to chat with Pam.

"So how did things go with the girls last night?"

"Not exactly the way I expected. They insisted on taking a shower together and washing each other, after explaining that's what they did when they were at Rylee's house. Rylee may be a year younger than Ashley, but she's just as mature and curious. I couldn't see what they were doing behind the shower curtain, but from the sounds of things, I believe they were feeling each other up."

"What makes you say that?"

"I could hear them whispering things like, 'spread your legs', 'yeah, there', 'that tickles', and they were constantly giggling. How did it go with the boys?"

"About the same. They were just as curious and hands-on as it appears the girls were."

"Yes, I guess it's all part of being that age. I just hope they're all satisfied now, so they don't feel they have to investigate with others too."

"I'm not sure they'll ever be satisfied, even when they're older." Pam just shook her head as she thought about it.

The kids' programs lasted until lunchtime, and then after we ate I had to figure out what I was going to do to keep them happy and occupied next. That's when I had an idea.

"How would you kids like to play kickball?"

"Yeah!" they all chorused in confirmation.

I then quickly asked Pam and Brad if they would like to join us, and they agreed. Brad then set out the rags we used for bases, while Ashley went to get the soccer ball. Then, we split up each pair of kids, along with Brad, Pam, Reid, and me. Before we started, however, I offered them a word of advice.

"Please try not to kick the ball toward the fence, because we've had some problems with our neighbor. If the ball goes over the fence and into his yard, the game will stop, because we can't go after it and we don't have another ball."

"K," Eric and Rylee agreed, as the other three were nodding their heads in agreement with what I'd just said.

We played for nearly an hour and had a really good time, but this time none of the kicks came close to going over the fence, like the last time we played. A few hit the fence lower down, but that wasn't a problem, although each time it happened we reminded the kids to try and keep the ball from going in that direction.

When we were done, we went inside to get a drink, and then the kids went outside again, while I stayed behind to chat with Brad and Pam. I then discussed an idea I had with them, which had nothing to do with the kids. I also told them I didn't know if it would actually happen, but I wanted to know what they thought, just in case. They then stayed inside while I went outside to play more games with the kids.

First, I organized a game of tag, and after we'd done that for a while, I taught them how to play Red Light, Green Light. After we finished that game, we played Simon Says next. I made the actions that Simon said very physical, like "Simon says run in place... do sit ups... do jumping jacks... or jump up and down," to help tire them out. When we finished, we went inside to catch our breath, and then Rylee and Eric went up to Ashley and Evan's bedrooms to play. They'd initially wanted to watch TV, but since Brad was watching a football game, I talked them into playing in the bedrooms instead.

By the time we finished dinner, the football game was over, so we offered to put a DVD in for them to watch next. They all agreed on Zootopia, so Pam and I sat down to watch it with them, while Brad opted to go work on his screenplay instead.

Zootopia was cute and the kids enjoyed it, so I thought they'd chosen wisely. Now that it was over, it was time to get them ready for bed, so as Pam was taking Ashley and Rylee upstairs, I sent Evan and Eric up to get their pajamas. When they returned, Reid had already gone to start the water, so I asked Eric some questions as he was getting undressed.

"Eric, how old are?"

"Seven, the same as Evan."

"When's your birthday?"

"July."

"Ah, so you're a couple of months younger than Evan."

"Yeah, I guess so."

By that time the three of us had finished undressing, so we went to join Reid. Once we were all in the shower, Reid offered a suggestion.

"Uncle Quinn, you can wash Evan and I'll wash Eric this time."

I looked at Eric before I answered. "Is that ok with you?"

"Yeah. I washed him, so he can wash me too."

Since no one had a problem with this, it's what we did. When we finished with the two younger boys, we all went to work on Reid, but this time I watched what the little ones were doing. As he had done the night before, Eric quickly latched onto Reid's penis again, but after a minute Evan had something to say.

"Hey, you washed him there last night, so let me do it this time."

"You can do it when I'm not here, so let me do it now."

Evan looked up at his brother and spoke again. "Will you let me wash you there the next time we shower together?"

"Yeah, I guess it would be ok."

That seemed to placate Evan, so he continued washing the back of Reid's legs and his butt, while I washed the upper half. A minute later, I noticed that Eric was still washing Reid's penis, so I spoke up.

"I think that's clean enough, so now you can move down and wash his legs." Eric looked up and gave me a sheepish grin, before he did as I'd asked.

When we finished cleaning Reid, the boys began on me. Just like he'd done with Reid, Eric zeroed in on my penis and began to wash it. While he was doing that, Evan spoke up again.

"Uncle Quinn, since you're lettin' Eric do that, can I wash you there next time?"

"I suppose that would be alright, but remember that I don't want you talking about doing it, and you can't tell anyone else."

"Ok," he replied, as he flashed me a huge, shit-eating grin. He was thrilled that he would finally be getting his way.

Once the boys finished washing me, I turned off the water and we got out of the shower. After I'd dried everyone, including myself, I helped Eric and Evan put on their PJs. Then, I took them upstairs and tucked them in Evan's bed.

"How come Reid didn't come up with us?" Evan wanted to know.

"He said he was going to wipe up the extra water off the bathroom floor first," I answered, thinking quickly on my feet.

"Oh, ok."

I then kissed both boys on the forehead and wished them sweet dreams.

"Thanks for lettin' me do all this stuff, Uncle Quinn," Eric said as I was leaving.

"Hey, he's not your uncle," Evan corrected.

"It's ok, and he can call me that too, as long as his parents don't mind. And you're welcome, sport. I'm glad you're having a good time while you're here."

"Yeah, I am."

After I shut Evan's bedroom door, I went down to my apartment to be with Reid. When I walked into the bedroom, he was laying on the bed with his erection pointing toward the ceiling. When I stared at it, he explained.

"It's been like that since Eric played with it. He sure likes to grab a hold of it."

"Yes, since he's the only boy in the family and his father doesn't do much with him, he has a fascination with our penises. Of course, I guess that might be true of any boy, since Evan is the same way."

"And me too. That's why I wanted to wash Eric tonight. Hey, did you find out how old he is?"

"Yes, and he's just a couple of months younger than your brother."

"That's kinda what I thought. He's cute, though, and lots of fun, so I can see why Evan likes him."

"And now you wish he had an older brother your age, right?" I teased.

"Maybe, cuz I guess I wouldn't mind playin' with his dick too, but I'd still want to do this with you."

"I really think you should try a few things with other boys your age, just so you know what it's like."

"You mean you don't want to do this with me any more?" He looked panicked.

"No, I'll always want to do this with you, but I still think you should spend some time with others too. Isn't there anyone you might like to do it with?"

"I don't know. I guess there might be a few guys at school that I wouldn't mind messin' around with."

"How about any of your friends I met?"

"Yeah, they're all sorta hot, but I'm not sure if they'd want to do those things with me. We've all seen each other's dicks before, when we've stood next to each other at the urinals at school, but I don't know if any of them are gay."

"Do they have girlfriends?"

"I think they've all gone out with girls, but I don't think any of them has a girl he's seeing right now."

"Maybe you should joke around a little and see how they respond."

"Like how?"

"Maybe next time you guys are joking about sex or someone being 'hot', you could say something like, 'now you've got me all worked up, so which one of you is going to take care of my problem?' One of them might say something like, 'I will, if you help me', but if they start saying 'no way!' or 'hey, I'm not gay', then you'll know."

"Yeah, I could do that. Hey! What if I invite them here to spend the night, you know one at a time, and then you could help me do that?"

"First of all, I don't think I should be involved, because I don't want them to become suspicious about what we're doing."

"Well, they all like you, so what if I just tell them you're gay so I can see how they react?"

"Look, I don't hide the fact that I'm gay, but I don't go around broadcasting it either. Knowing that I'm gay might make them wonder why you're spending so much time with me."

"I don't think they'd mind. I've even thought maybe I'd tell them I'm gay, because I don't think it would make a difference to any of them."

"You can try that if you want, but just be careful. Telling the wrong person could have serious consequences."

"Then maybe I'll just ask them about one of the other guys we see around school. I'll say something like, 'he acts really gay', and then I'll ask what they think of him."

"That might work. Just be careful about how you word things."

"K."

Even though our conversation had taken a while, we still had time for sex, so we began to make out after we'd finished. Reid didn't have school in the morning, and didn't even have to get up by any specific time, so I felt we'd be safe. If the others got up before he did and began knocking on the apartment door, then Reid could just put on the clothes he wore yesterday and go out in the yard. Once he was outside, he could pretend that he'd been up for a while and went out for some fresh air or to think.

As I was getting ready to rim him, Reid made another comment. "I hope you haven't forgotten about your promise that we'd do something different before the end of the year. It's getting awfully close to it now."

"I know, and I haven't forgotten."

"Good, cuz I'm ready to try something different."

"I promise we'll do it soon, just not tonight."

That seemed to placate him, along with my tongue, so before long he was squirming and moaning as I brought him pleasure.

After we'd taken care of each other's needs, I cuddled with him and prepared to sleep. "This is much better than having a teddy bear," I joked, mainly to see his reaction.

"Yeah, way better, cuz I sleep really good when you hold me like this." I gave him an extra little squeeze and kissed the back of his neck to let him know I agreed.

I couldn't believe that Reid and I awoke before the other kids the next morning, so I felt they must have stayed up late fooling around too. I just wondered what they might have been up to and how involved things might have gotten.

After we finished breakfast, the four younger ones went off to watch TV. They didn't even ask if we were going to do anything, so I felt they must still be slightly tired. I left them alone and went to my apartment to write instead. I had just turned on the laptop when Reid came in to see what I was doing.

"So you're just gonna write?" he asked as he stared at me.

"I thought you wanted me to get this done? Besides, don't you have homework you should be doing?"

"Yeah, I want you to finish the book, and I have a little homework to finish, but I wanted to spend some time with you too."

"Why don't you go finish your homework, and then when you're done you can come back here and I'll stop working for a while."

"Can I bring my homework down here and do it?"

"As long as you don't pester me until you're finished, because I have an idea that I want to write down before I forget."

"What is it?"

"You can see it when I'm done, so just get your homework and get busy."

"K."

He headed to his room, grabbed his backpack, and carried it to my apartment. He then settled down to work on his homework, as I typed away on the laptop. We didn't speak again until he told me he was going out to get a drink and asked if I wanted anything. I had him grab a drink for me too, and then we both went back to work.

We were still doing that when there was a knock on the apartment door, so I stopped briefly to tell the person to come in. It was Pam.

"Lunch is ready," she announced as she glanced at what Reid and I were doing.

"Thanks, we'll be right out." After she left, I grabbed my phone and made a quick call. "Amanda, it's Quinn. I just wanted to see when you wanted me to bring the kids home."

"Anytime between now and dinner would be fine."

"Ok. We're going to have lunch now, and I was thinking about doing something with them after we finished, so I'll bring them back when we're done."

"That will be fine."

As soon as I hung up, Reid and I went out to join the others. As we were eating, I asked the kids a question.

"How would you guys like to go to the park after you've finished eating?"

The four younger ones seemed excited about doing that, but Reid's response was almost nonexistent. I knew he wanted to spend some time with me alone, but we could do that when we returned, so I decided to say something to Brad and Pam next.

"Would you two like to join us?"

"I'd rather watch the football game. It's going to start pretty soon," Brad replied.

"And I have things to do around here, if you think you could handle them on your own," Pam answered.

"Sure. That's not a problem."

"Then take the Highlander," Brad offered as he tossed me the key. "There's too many to take in your car."

"Thanks. I hadn't thought about that."

As soon as we were done, I sent the kids to grab a jacket, since it was chilly outside. After the other four had left, Reid looked at me and spoke. "I thought we were gonna spend time together."

"We can, after we get back. So do you want to go with us, because you can help me with them."

"Yeah, I'll go with you too."

He then raced off to get a jacket as well, while I retrieved mine from my apartment. As soon as we were set, I helped them into the Highlander and we took off. It was a sunny day and fairly nice out, except it was slightly chilly, but I knew the kids would still have a good time.

Once we got there, Reid and I pushed the four younger ones on the swings first, and then we sat on the opposite side of a teeter-totter as we went up and down with one of the pairs. When we stopped doing that, we spun them around on the manual merry-go-round next. After they got bored with spinning in circles, I watched as all of the kids climbed about on one of the activity centers that had been constructed to resemble a castle. They actually did that for a lot longer than I'd first suspected, but it appeared as if Reid had them playing out some sort of fantasy game. Whatever it was, they were cute to watch, so I enjoyed myself too.

When they finally got tired of doing that, they came over to me and said they were ready to leave. Once they were in the Highlander, I made an announcement. "When we get back to the house, I want Eric and Rylee to pack up their things so I can take them home."

"Do we have to go already?" Eric whined, visibly upset.

"I spoke with your mother just before lunch and told her I'd bring you back before it was time for dinner."

"But it's not even dark yet," Rylee pointed out. I glanced at my watch and noticed that it was only 2:30.

"Ok, if you want to play up in Evan and Ashley's rooms or out in the backyard, then I'll let you stay a little longer. You can't watch TV or a DVD, though, because their father is watching a football game. If you're satisfied with what I just said, then I'll give you another couple of hours."

The four younger ones quickly agreed that would be fine, so I merely asked them to put their things together first, so I wouldn't have to wait for them to do it when it was time to leave. They agreed they would do that too, so Reid and I went to my apartment to finish what we'd been working on earlier.

"Goin' to the park was pretty fun," he said once I'd shut the door behind us.

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. Did you have the other kids doing something when you were all on the activity center?"

"Yeah, since it looked like a castle, I told them I was the king and Evan and Eric were knights. They went out with me to kill a dragon, and when we got back we discovered Ashley and Rylee had been kidnapped by another king. He had taken them back to his castle to marry his sons, so we had to rescue them."

"It looked as if you were all having fun."

"Yeah, I did, and I think they did too."

"I'm glad, and I want you to know that I really appreciated your help. I also want to thank you for doing those things with them."

"Thanks, but I had fun too."

Reid then returned to his homework, while I went back to work on the story. He finished before I did, so he waited until I was ready. Since I'd promised to spend some time with him alone, I wrapped an arm around him while I answered his questions about what I'd just written, and then I made out with him briefly until it was time to take Eric and Rylee home.

I discovered they were still up in the bedrooms, so I went upstairs to tell them it was time to go. They didn't complain this time and merely collected their things, and then I walked them home. I'd opted to do this, because it wasn't dark yet and they only lived a couple of blocks away. The other three walked with us, because Evan and Ashley wanted to spend a little more time with their friends, and Reid didn't want me to go without him.

When we reached their house, Amanda greeted us and wanted to talk briefly. "Did they behave themselves?"

"Yes, they did, and I think they had a good time too." Eric and Rylee were nodding to show they agreed with what I'd just said.

"I'm so glad they have someone close by to play with, because now I don't have to listen to them complain that there's nothing to do. Now, they just whine about when they can get together with Evan and Ashley again." She laughed after saying this.

"Yes, it's hard to keep these kids satisfied," I joked, which earned me some very nasty looks from those I was talking about.

"Nuht uh," Evan disagreed.

"We just like being together. That's all," Ashley added.

"Yeah," Eric and Rylee chimed in.

"Ok, but now it's time for us to get back before it gets dark," I said to end the discussion and get my three moving.

We then said goodbye to the Van Pattens and walked home, with the kids content for a little while longer.

Chapter 24
A Wonderful Yule

A few days before Christmas, I went to carry out the plan that I'd talked over with Brad and Pam earlier. The kids were in school and I'd waited until it was nearly noon before I walked next door and rang the neighbor's doorbell. When she opened the door, I introduced myself.

"I don't know if you remember me, but I live next door."

"Yes, I know who you are," she responded dryly. There was no bitterness in her voice, it was merely a statement of fact.

"I'm sorry about what happened to your husband, but I wanted to invite you to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with us, if you didn't already have other plans. I'm sorry I didn't think about you possibly being alone for Thanksgiving, but it didn't dawn on me until a day or two later."

She looked at me and smiled before she responded. "I appreciate your thoughtfulness, but I wasn't alone. I have a daughter who lives on the other side of town and I spent Thanksgiving with her family. I'm going to spend Christmas with them too."

"I'm glad to hear that, and I just wanted to make sure you weren't alone. How's your husband doing?"

"Much better, and I'd like to apologize for how he acted. He had been getting more ornery and harder to handle every day, and you saw what he was like when he blew up at the kids. He got even worse after you built the fence, but he's starting to show improvement now. As part of the court proceedings, the judge was able to get him a spot in a clinical trial for a drug designed to treat Alzheimer's, and it seems to be working. He seems like his former self again when my daughter and I visit him, so being arrested actually ended up helping him."

"I'm glad to hear it, but I'm sorry it went down that way. If there's ever anything else we can do for you, please come over and let us know."

"Thank you, and I will," she responded before we said goodbye and I went back to our house.

Christmas Eve was on a Saturday this year, so Brad and Pam were home all day. The kids were basically hyper and eagerly looking forward to opening their presents the following day, so the rest of us were doing our best to keep them from getting too carried away.

That afternoon Jim Carey's version of A Christmas Carol was on TV, so we talked the kids into sitting down and watching it with us. After it ended, Pam and I went out to continue working on the special dinner we'd been preparing earlier. Now, it was time to put things in the oven and add the finishing touches so we could all enjoy it.

Pam had originally decided to roast a chicken for tonight, since we'd agreed to have ham for Christmas dinner instead of turkey. I thought her idea sounded a little bland for a special meal, so I decided to spice things up by making lasagna to go with it. I knew the kids would appreciate it, since they all loved Italian, but I also fixed a salad, while Pam made cookies for dessert.

As soon as everything was ready, we called the others out to the table, and then we sat down to eat. Pam sliced the chicken and put a piece on each of the kid's plates, while I added a small portion of lasagna, and Brad filled a small bowl with salad and asked which dressing they'd prefer. Once we had our food in front of us, we wished each other a Merry Christmas and began to eat.

"Hey! This is really good, Mommy," Evan said after he'd tasted everything.

"Thank you, honey, but you should know that Uncle Quinn made the lasagna."

"Really? That's good too. Thanks, Uncle Quinn."

Reid and Ashley quickly chimed in their agreement, and then we all went back to enjoying the food. As soon as we were done, Pam brought in a platter with many different kinds of cookies on it and told the kids they could have one now or save it for later. Like most kids, they had one now and planned on finding a way to have another one later.

Afterward, Brad informed us that there was a college bowl game on that he was going to watch, so Reid and I agreed to join him. The other three weren't really interested in football, so Pam said she'd clean up the kitchen, while the other two got ready to go up to their rooms to play.

"Uncle Quinn, call me when you're gonna shower," Evan told me before he left.

"Sure, little buddy. Just don't forget to bring your PJs down with you when I let you know we're ready."

Reid and I then went to watch the first half on the football game with Brad. It was a decent game, but they weren't teams we normally followed so we weren't quite as riveted as we might have otherwise been. For that reason, I decided we'd shower during the halftime, so I went to let Evan know. He was all smiles when he came down to join us, and it took a couple of minutes before I figured out why. This was the first time he'd showered with us since Eric was here, so he was looking forward to us keeping our promises.

As soon as we were all naked and standing under the shower, I got ready to wash Evan. "Let Reid do it this time," Evan stated, causing my mouth to drop open.

Since that's what he wanted, I looked over at Reid and he shrugged his shoulders before getting started. As he was washing Evan, it suddenly dawned on me why Evan wanted him to do this. The last time Eric was here, Reid offered to wash him while I was doing the same to Evan. Either he thought he was missing out on something, or he'd concluded it was only fair, since he was going to wash his brother's penis this time. Either way, I was glad they felt close enough to each other that they could do these things with one another.

I was fascinated as I watched Reid use his hands to wash his little brother, including his immature penis and scrotum. He was very gentle and loving in his movements, and I was sure Evan could tell that as well, and when he finished it was Evan's chance to return the favor.

As he washed the lower half of his big brother, both front and back this time, I watched as Evan stroked, twisted, and prodded Reid's genitals. He was finally getting his opportunity to explore the one area he was most interested in, so hopefully this would end his fascination and sate his curiosity. However, I knew he'd be doing the same thing to me next, so I was mentally preparing myself so I wouldn't become aroused. I only prayed that I'd be able to maintain control of the area of my body that often acted as if it had a mind of its own.

When I went back to watching the other pair, I noticed that Reid had begun to bone up from the manipulation, although it never resulted in a raging erection. I also saw Evan smirk and look up at his brother, so maybe he had at least some idea about what he was doing. It made me wonder if maybe something similar had happened when he and Eric had been playing with each other. I didn't know for sure, but it certainly made me curious.

Once we finished washing Reid, the two boys started on me. Reid washed my upper body, while Evan did the same to my lower half, and he immediately zeroed in on my manhood. I was somewhat shocked by how boldly he was manipulating it, under the pretext of making sure it was clean, and I thought of whatever I could to keep from reacting. Like Reid, I wasn't totally successful, but I was able to keep from poking him in the eye or slapping his face with it whenever I moved.

"That was fun," Evan squealed when he'd finished. "Thanks for letting me do that to both of you. I can't wait to do it again."

I believe Reid and I both rolled our eyes at his last statement, as we thought about how we were going to handle this in the future. I hoped we hadn't just created a monster and prayed he'd grow bored with it after a few times. However, if he was like his brother and me, that probably wouldn't happen.

Once we were all dry and dressed again, since Reid and I threw something on too, Reid and I went back to watch the rest of the game with his father. To my surprise, Evan came with us this time, but he just wanted to sit on my lap and lean against me. I noticed Brad looking over and shaking his head a couple of times, since both of his sons were with me – one on my lap and the other pressed tightly against my side. I started to wonder if he was beginning to feel like Pam and thinking he'd now lost both of his sons too.

As soon as the game ended, I carried Evan upstairs and tucked him in bed, since he'd fallen asleep on my lap before the game ended. Once that had been accomplished, I returned to my apartment to spend the rest of the night with Reid. Shortly after I'd locked the main door and we were alone in the bedroom, Reid pressed me about something.

"You kept your promise to Evan tonight, so are you gonna keep your promise to me and do something different tonight?"

I looked at him and grinned before I answered. "First, I have a present for you that I didn't want you to open in front of the rest of the family. Let me give that to you first."

I think I'd piqued his interest, because his body was visibly trembling and he was shifting his weight from one leg to the other in anticipation. When I returned, I was carrying a package about the size of a large tube of toothpaste, and it was wrapped in Christmas paper, complete with a ribbon.

"Merry Christmas, and I hope you enjoy this," I said as I handed it to him. He hurriedly unwrapped it and then looked up at me in awe.

"You bought me a tube of toothpaste?"

"No, I just used the box so it would be easier to wrap your present. Open it and look inside."

When he did, he pulled out a white, plastic tube, about seven inches long [18 cm] and an inch [2½ cm] in diameter, with a rounded, cone-shaped head. He looked it over and then glanced back at me.

"I don't get it. What's it supposed to be?"

"It's called a dildo, but it's a very basic one. You wanted to try something new, so I figured this was the best way to loosen you up and get you ready, other than just using my fingers."

"So you're gonna use this on my butt?" he followed, beginning to get the picture.

"Yes, it's the next step in getting you ready for what you want to eventually do."

Reid suddenly lit up and began hopping around. Then, he tossed the dildo onto the bed and started tearing off his clothes. He wasn't actually ripping them, but I'd never seen him undress so quickly, even though I'd seen him rush through the process before. When he was totally naked, he looked at me and spoke again.

"So what should I do now?"

"First, calm down a little. Then, we'll get on the bed and start out like we normally do."

"K," he said, as he turned and leaped on the bed.

"Easy. Don't break it or we won't have any place to sleep."

"We could always go up to my room if that happened."

"But then you'd have to be a lot quieter than you are when we do this down here."

"Yeah, ok. Maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea then."

After he'd settled down, I began as I normally would by kissing him and working on his ears and neck. Then, I worked my way down his body, before moving between his legs. After rimming him and using my fingers to loosen him up, I added some lube to the smooth device and placed it at his entrance.

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

"Push out a little with your butt muscles then, so it will go in easier."

I then added a little pressure and it began to slide past the resilient ring. It went in much easier than I'd expected, so after leaving it there for nearly a minute, I started to slide it in and out. I did that for a couple more minutes before I took it all the way out and then quickly inserted it again. I did that a dozen more times, and then I had another little surprise for him.

"What the heck did you just do?" he squealed. "It feels funny and makes me feel tingly inside."

"This is a vibrating dildo, and I just turned it on."

After letting him get used to that for a few seconds, I turned it to the next speed. That caused Reid's head to pop up as his eyes shot wide open. "What did you do now?"

"I just turned it to the next speed."

"Man, that's way more intense," he said, almost breathlessly.

As I let him adjust to that, I moved between his legs and started working on his scrotum. I only did that for a short time, and then I moved up to his boyhood. After running my tongue all over the surface and lapping up the pre-cum he'd produced, I slipped my mouth over the head and let my lips slide down his erection. Once I had it completely engulfed, I began to glide up and down its length, while using my hands to do one final thing. I twisted the end of the dildo and turned it to its highest setting.

Reid groaned when that happened, but when I tilted it up so it was vibrating against his prostate, he began to shudder and squirm at the same time. It was less than a minute later before his penis began to jerk and spasm too, as he filled my mouth with his sweet boy nectar. As soon as I savored and drank it down, I released his penis before it became too sensitive, and then I waited for him to recover.

"Man, that was incredible! If it was that good from using a toy, I can't wait until we do it for real."

"I hope you're not disappointed then, because my penis doesn't come with a vibrator."

Reid looked at me for a few seconds, as he analyzed what I'd just said, and then he burst out laughing. "I didn't think it did, but I still can't wait."

"You'll have to for now, because it will be some time before we're ready to do that."

"Not too long, I hope."

"Just be patient."

"I'll try."

He then returned the favor, except he didn't use the dildo on me, and after I'd orgasmed, we cuddled together and fell asleep. I knew we couldn't stay up too late, because I was convinced Evan and Ashley were going to wake up early and then want the rest of us to get up too, so they could open their presents. In the meantime, Reid and I both slept as peacefully as we ever had.

Sometime during the middle of the night, my phone rang. I looked over at the clock after trying to wipe the sleep from my eyes and noticed it was only 5:30. I couldn't image who'd be calling at this time, so I just hoped it wasn't bad news.

"Hello," I said groggily.

"Quinn, the kids are up and they're worried because Quinn wasn't in his room when they went to wake him up." It was Brad's voice I was hearing, so he must have called me on the home phone. "I hope you can come up with a good excuse for this."

"I'll think of something," I said as I ended the call and began shaking Reid. "Wake up! Evan and Ashley are already up and they're upset because they didn't find you in your room."

"Dang, I didn't think about that."

"Put something on and we'll go out to join them."

While I was doing the same thing, I was trying to think of a reason why Reid had spent the night with me. I had to come up with something really fast, so I wasn't sure if it was going to be believable or not. It would have to do, though, because it was all I had.

After greeting everyone, Evan looked up at me and spoke. "Why was Reid staying with you?"

"After I took you upstairs, Reid wanted to talk about my new story while I was working on it. When I finished up on the laptop, I noticed he'd fallen asleep on my sofa. I didn't want to wake him up, so I just grabbed a blanket, covered him, and let him spend the night there. I was afraid he wouldn't fall asleep again, if I made him go upstairs."

"Oh," he replied simply, and then he continued. "It's time to open the presents, so let's get going."

"Yes, sir," I responded, snapping to attention and giving him a salute. However, Evan didn't even notice, because he was already on his way to the family room and the Christmas tree.

Once we were all together again, Brad and Pam started handing out the presents. I'd put the things I'd bought for everyone under the tree too, but the packages that got distributed first were all from Santa, since they were obviously the last ones dropped off. I was getting more enjoyment out of watching the kids open their presents, although I made sure to open mine as well and thank those who'd given them to me.

As soon as everything had been unwrapped, we left the kids to inspect and play with the various things they'd received, while Pam and I went out to fix breakfast. We talked as we got things ready.

"That wasn't a bad excuse, seeing you had to come up with it on such short notice."

"Thanks. I just hope it was believable."

"Oh, it was, and I think you fooled Evan and Ashley. I'm glad I didn't have to come up with something. Did you ever have to think that fast when you were younger?" I wasn't sure if she was serious or just toying with me.

"Maybe a few times, but never for anything serious."

"It must come easy for the creative mind of an author."

"Maybe, but I'm not sure how I come up with things like that. It paid off this time, though, and I'm glad it did, because I wasn't ready to answer any questions if they didn't believe me."

"Brad and I didn't want to answer those questions either, so I'm glad you were able to think on your feet – or was that in bed?" She laughed when she saw me blush. "Don't worry. I haven't changed my mind about you and Reid. Besides the fact that it keeps me from worrying about him, you've also become a valuable asset to have around since you've been here."

"I'm certainly happy you feel that way, and I'm grateful you and Brad asked me to move in with you. It's not just because of Reid either, because this whole situation has been working out great. I love the other kids as well, I enjoy being around you and Brad, and I no longer feel alone. Sure, I had friends where I used to live, but I wasn't with them all the time, so sometimes it got very lonely. Now, I feel that I'm part of a family, and it's really nice."

"You are part of our family, and I can't thank you enough for all you do to help out. At first I was afraid you'd just stay in your apartment and write, but you do so much more. I knew this would be good for Reid and would help keep him safe, but I never guessed it would help me so much too. You have taken a huge load off my shoulders, because you not only take care of Reid, but you help out with Evan too and do a lot of other things to help out. You fix meals, you help with the kids' friends, and you've ended up chauffeuring Reid and the others around quite a bit. I'm not sure what we would do without you now."

"I'm glad you feel that way, but you all do a great deal for me too, and I truly appreciate that you've made me part of your family."

By that time, breakfast was ready so we called the others out to eat. As we stuffed our bellies, the kids told us which presents they liked the most. To my amazement, no one complained about not getting something they really wanted, so I guess we'd done quite well with shopping for them. That's not to say they got everything on their lists, not even close, but they all seemed satisfied.

After we ate, we went to the family room, turned on the TV, and quickly found the channel with the burning Yule log that played Christmas songs all day long. As we listened to the holiday music, we also relaxed and let our meals settle, while the kids checked out the various items they'd received. A little later, we changed the channel and watched the parade next, and when that ended, Pam asked the kids to take their things up to their rooms.

As the kids were doing that, I helped Pam clean up the mess they'd left behind. Evan and Ashley stayed up in their rooms until we ate again, as they played with the various items they'd just acquired. Reid, however, came down to spend time with me, but he wanted to do it alone, in my apartment. When we entered, he grabbed something he must have left there before he came to get me, and then he handed it to me.

"This is a special Christmas present for you," he said as he gave me a package about the size of a large legal envelope that was a half to three-quarters of an inch thick. It was nicely wrapped with a handwritten tag attached to it that read, "With all my love, Reid."

"I didn't put your name on it, in case Ashley or Evan saw it. If they did, I was gonna tell them it was for Mom."

"I see, and thank you, but you didn't have to get me anything special."

"I wanted to, and I think you'll see why when you open it."

His comment intrigued me, so I unwrapped it and discovered what he meant. When I lifted the lid off the box, I found a lovely silver picture frame inside, but it was empty, except for the stock filler behind the glass. That was when Reid got up and grabbed another item that he handed to me.

"I was going to put this in the frame, but I had it wrapped at the store." He then handed me a large photo that appeared to have been professionally taken.

"This is beautiful, but when did you have this done?"

"I had my mom make an appointment for me after you went back to pack up your stuff. I was gonna send it to you in the mail, so you'd want to hurry back, but then I found out you were gonna be here soon anyways. That's when Mom told me that I should give it to you for Christmas instead."

"You look incredible and the frame is perfect for it, but how did you pay for these things?"

"Mom and Dad gave us all an extra allowance for helping them pack up and move."

"But this picture must have been taken before you did that."

"Yeah, but they agreed to pay for it in advance, as long as I promised to help. That was easy, because I wanted to help move so you could live with us. I want you to put the picture in the frame and then you can place it on the nightstand on your side of the bed. I want you to see it every morning when you get up."

"But I already see you every morning, since you sleep with me every night."

"Then you can see it whenever you're in the bedroom."

"Ok, and I love it. It's absolutely perfect."

He beamed when I said that, and then he stayed with me until I went out to help Pam with dinner. It was a lot easier than fixing the turkey at Thanksgiving, but the meal was just as tasty and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. After we finished eating, we spent the rest of the day with the kids, either finding something we could watch together on TV or playing a game with them. That's what we did until bedtime, when the kids started getting ready for bed.

Evan went to get his things and then he returned to shower with Reid and me again. As he did the previous evening, he washed Reid's and my lower body and once again focused on one particular area. We both allowed him to do what he wanted, because he didn't get too carried away, and then we got out, dried off, and I took him up to his room. This time Reid went with us and even messed up his bed to make it looked slept in, in case one of the others got up early again the next morning.

As soon as I shut Evan's bedroom door, and since Ashley's door was already closed, Reid joined me as I went downstairs. Then, once we were alone in my bedroom, he announced what was on his mind.

"I want to do the same thing we did last night."

"So you liked your new toy, did you?"

"Yeah, big time. And I want you to turn on that vibrating thing again. It was really wild and made me feel all funny inside, but it felt good too."

"Ok, if that's what you want."

I then repeated everything we'd done the night before, but this time I didn't have to explain as much to him. He was trembling in anticipation when I pulled out the dildo and began to lube it up, and he was also leaking more pre-cum than normal. I guess he really did like doing this.

I used all three speeds on the vibrator again and aimed it at his prostate, but this time he didn't ejaculate quite as quickly as he'd done the first time we'd used it. He was still moaning and squirming about, but since he knew what to expect, it didn't overpower him this time.

Once he'd enjoyed his release, he worked on me next and gave me as much pleasure as I'd given him. Now that we both felt content, we made a quick trip to the bathroom to freshen up, before we cuddled together in bed.

"Goodnight, Uncle Quinn, and thanks for the wonderful Christmas. I love that dildo thing you gave me as much as anything else I got."

"I'm happy to hear that, and I'm sure it will get plenty of use. I loved what you gave me too, so goodnight and pleasant dreams, my sweet prince."

I could see him glance over his shoulder and smile at me, and then we settled in to get some sleep.

Chapter 25
The Break

After we got up and had breakfast on Sunday morning, we all seemed to be dragging our bodies around the house, because we didn't seem to have the same energy of the past few weeks. I think we were all suffering from a post-Christmas letdown, now that the anticipation and excitement had passed. The kids were still enjoying what they'd got for Christmas, but the agonizing thrill of waiting to see what presents they would be receiving was gone. It would stay that way for a few more days, until they began to look forward to celebrating the New Year.

During the day, I pulled Pam and Brad aside so I could ask them a question. "How would you two like to go out on New Year's Eve – alone? I'll entertain the kids so you guys can have a good time."

"Are you sure you want to do that?" Pam wondered aloud.

"Sure, and I'm going to make the same offer to Amanda and Bob. I'll invite Eric and Rylee to stay with Evan and Ashley, and then I'll plan things we can do until they fall asleep."

"Won't that be too much for you?" Brad followed.

"No, I can handle them, and we'll all be celebrating with someone special."

Besides the implications that they'd be with their spouses, Evan and Eric would have each other, as would Ashley and Rylee, but so would Reid and I. I think they figured that out and smiled in response.

"Thank you. We appreciate you doing this for us, so now we can make plans. I think we might still have time to secure reservations to spend the night out and have a good time."

"Yes, I want you to enjoy yourselves. I'm going to go call Amanda and make her the same offer."

After saying this, I went to my apartment, placed the call, and explained the same thing to Amanda. She was thrilled and thought she could talk Bob into going out for the evening, but she also felt her kids would be thrilled to be staying with us too. She thanked me multiple times before hanging up, but only after she advised me that she'd merely tell Bob that Eric and Rylee had been invited to spend New Year's Eve with Evan and Ashley. After he understood that, she would suggest they could go out for the evening too, and thought she could convince him to do it.

A couple of hours later, my phone rang and I noticed the call was from Amanda. "Hey, what's up?"

"I talked to Bob and he's excited about going out on New Year's Eve too. Eric and Rylee were both thrilled as well, so I thought I'd do something for you. What do you think about letting Evan and Ashley spend the day at our house tomorrow, so they can play with Eric and Rylee?"

"That sounds fine with me, and I'm sure Evan and Ashley would like doing it too. What time did you have in mind?"

"You could bring them around 10:00 and I'll also provide lunch. Then you can pick them up around 5:00, so they'll be home when their parents return from work."

"That sounds fine. Thank you."

I then went to tell the kids about everything we'd agreed to. Evan and Ashley were delighted, but so was Reid. It meant we'd be alone for most of the next day, plus his brother and sister would have someone to keep them company on New Year's Eve, so they wouldn't want to spend too much time with us. It was a win-win situation for everyone.

When I got Reid alone later, I told him about some of the things I had planned for New Year's Eve to see if he wanted to compete against the other kids, or if he'd rather help me. Once he learned that he would be on a team by himself for some of the activities, since I would be running things and not playing, he decided he'd just help me during those times. He'd agreed to participate in the activities where they competed as individuals, though, since he still liked to play games too. I told him we'd go shopping the following day for various supplies for our New Year's Eve celebration, while Evan and Ashley were with the Van Pattens. He was fine with that, since he'd be going with me.

Seeing he was on vacation and wouldn't have school the next day, he also mentioned that we'd be able to do something every night until school started again. That left me rolling my eyes and shaking my head, since it appeared he was determined to wear me out.

Evan came to a similar conclusion and felt being on vacation meant he could shower with us every night, so I talked to Reid about this.

"Does he have to shower with us every night?" he whined.

"Like you, he feels being on vacation will allow him to do that."

"Can't you just tell him 'no', or say he can only do it with us every other night?"

"Yes, I could, just like I could tell you the same thing about what you want to do over vacation."

My comment caused Reid's eyes to shoot open, as wide as they could go. "You wouldn't do that, would you?"

"I guess it depends on whether I have to do it to Evan."

"Ok, he can shower with us, but then you're all mine later."

"Maybe not one night, because if you remember, I promised to let Evan sleep with us over the Christmas break too."

Reid looked devastated. "Then can we do something in your living room once he falls asleep?"

"I suppose we could, and I'll shut the bedroom door once he drifts off to keep him from seeing anything."

"Ok, then he can sleep with us too."

I was pleased that he'd thought about using the other room, because now I'd be able to keep my promise to both of them.

We spent the rest of the day with his mom and dad, as the other kids told them about their plans. Brad and Pam already knew about those things, but they listened patiently as Ashley and Evan excitedly told them everything. They explained that they were going to spend the following day with Eric and Rylee at their house, and then Eric and Rylee were going to stay with them on New Year's Eve. Once they finished going over all of this again, we found something we could all watch on TV until it was time for dinner.

When it came time to shower, Evan went with us again. After Reid and I washed him, Evan and I did the same to Reid, and then the boys cleaned me. Evan was still fascinated playing with our penises, but not to the same extent as the first couple of times he'd laid his hands on them. This time he washed them and only played with them briefly before moving on. Maybe by the end of the week this would merely become 'old hat' for him.

As soon as we'd finished our shower and I'd tucked Evan in bed, Reid was eager for me to perform the 'new routine' on him again. He handed me the dildo and lube as soon as I got back from taking Evan upstairs and then basically dragged me over to the bed because he was so eager to get started. I merely smiled and didn't hassle him about it.

After I'd kissed him and paid attention to the upper half of his body, I rimmed him next and then used the dildo on him. As I was moving it in and out of his rectum, I came to a conclusion. I had wondered about this before, but now I was convinced that Reid is definitely a bottom. I wasn't sure if this was something he was born with and was encoded in his genes, like being gay, or if he merely enjoyed it more whenever he experienced anal play, rather than penile stimulation. I knew he enjoyed that too, but he seemed to get even more enjoyment when I played with his butt. Maybe that's part of the reason he'd become attracted to me, because I'm definitely a top. I've bottomed for some of my partners too, but my preference has always been to be the pitcher.

Anyway, after we'd both enjoyed our release, we cuddled together on the bed, ready to sleep. Even though I've mentioned before that Reid could have been the dominant partner in a relationship with someone his own age, he seemed satisfied to be submissive when it came to me. He even preferred that I cuddle with him and drape my arm over his side, rather than him doing it to me. Maybe it's because of the size difference and it might be uncomfortable for him to drape his arm over my side, but he preferred to leave it the way we'd always done it. I had no problem with that and held him tightly all night long.

The kids slept in the next morning and didn't get up until well after their parents had left for work. After I fed them breakfast, I had Evan and Ashley get dressed so I could walk them down to spend the day with Eric and Rylee. After dropping them off, I took Reid to do some shopping for New Year's Eve, since this might be my only chance to do it without the other two.

We made several stops that day, including a party supply store, the grocery store, and a department store. As soon as I had everything I needed, we returned home and Reid helped me carry everything to my apartment. I would store it there until New Year's Eve.

Since we were alone and still had a couple of hours left before I had to get Evan and Ashley, he wanted to do what we normally did at night. He reasoned that if we did it now, Evan could sleep with us later and then we could slip out to sixty-nine once Evan fell asleep. He also stated that we could do that quicker and quieter, so there would be less chance of waking Evan up and having him catch us. I thought he'd made some good points, so I agreed to do what he suggested.

After I removed all of his clothing, I began to kiss him and slowly began working my down his body. I progressed from his lips, his ears, neck, and chest, as I headed for his groin. Reid was panting and wiggling beneath me as I bypassed his midsection and moved between his legs. He instinctively lifted them to let me know what he wanted me to do next.

That was enough of an invitation, so I lowered my head, extended my tongue, and moved closer to my target. He whimpered when my tongue first made contact with his skin, and then he rocked toward me, showing how eager he was for me to continue. Not wishing to disappoint him, I began to lick my way around the opening and then I inserted my tongue into it, eliciting a very loud moan.

After I had attacked the area with my tongue for a sufficient time, I grabbed the dildo, lubed it up, and prepared to use that next. As I placed it at his entrance and slowly added pressure, it slipped inside and I started to work it back and forth. Since we were completely alone, Reid was making a lot more noise than normal, as he vocalized his consent and enjoyment. Then I turned on the vibrator, causing Reid to yelp in delight. As I moved my way through the other speeds, I directed it at his prostate, knowing it would send him over the edge. Without ever touching his penis, he began to ejaculate all over his chest, as he grunted and cooed in appreciation.

I let him take all the time he needed to enjoy the feelings rippling throughout his body, and to come down from his post-orgasmic high. It took a little longer than usual this time, and then he looked at me and spoke in a whisper.

"What did you do? You never even touched my dick, but I still shot my stuff all over my body."

"I believe it was due to the vibrator's effect on your prostate. You already saw how it caused you to cum when I stimulated it with my finger, so I guess the dildo and vibrator produced the same result."

"That was unbelievable," he gasped, this time in a slightly more powerful voice. "I couldn't believe what was happening and just saw a bunch of bright lights flashing before my eyes when my dick erupted."

"I could tell it was a very powerful release, so I hope it wasn't too much for you."

"No, it was incredible and totally wonderful. I hope it happens again sometime."

I didn't think he was going to recover in time to do anything to me, since it was getting close to the time I was suppose to pick up Evan and Ashley. However, Reid was insistent and started working on me, even though I didn't think he'd totally recovered. He was determined, though, and worked on me with more enthusiasm than ever before. Needless to say, he didn't stop until he'd reached his goal and I exploded into his mouth. Now that he was satisfied, we cleaned up quickly, got dressed, and this time he walked with me to get his brother and sister.

When we reached the Van Pattens' house, the kids were in their rooms playing, so she asked us in for a glass of homemade eggnog and a slice of pumpkin pie. Reid thought it sounded good too, so we sat down at her kitchen table to enjoy the treat and chat with her.

"I'm glad the kids get along so well. It's been a pleasure to have them over."

"I'm glad they get along well too, and I'm looking forward to entertaining them on New Year's Eve."

"And I owe you for that. I was able to convince Bob to take me out, so we're going to a club he belongs to. They're having a big New Year's Eve celebration for their members, and this will be the first time we've gone out on New Year's Eve in quite a few years."

"Well, I'm glad I could help make it happen."

Amanda then went to get the kids, because we knew their parents would be home soon. When we reached the house, I called to order Chinese, since I hadn't had time to fix anything. Once Brad and Pam arrived home, I went out to pick up our order.

During dinner, Evan and Ashley told their parents about spending the day with Eric and Rylee. When Pam asked Reid what he'd done, he told her he went shopping with me, but never mentioned our extra-curricular activities. I had a feeling Brad and Pam figured it out, though, because they both knew going shopping didn't take all day. They merely smirked when they looked at me, which made me slightly uncomfortable, so I tried to ignore them. It wasn't working, though, so I began clearing the table and took the empty containers out to the kitchen so I could throw them in the trash. If I couldn't ignore them, at least I could get away from them for now.

After dinner, the kids went to play with the things they got for Christmas, although Reid spent most of his time with me. He was very clingy this time and I knew it wasn't because he was looking forward to the sex, because we'd already done that. Yes, we were going to do something more later, but that didn't seem to be what this was about. He just wanted to be close and in constant contact with me.

When Evan came down to shower with us later, I told him I was going to let Reid and him sleep with me tonight. I could see Evan was thrilled, because he began to dance around as he was getting undressed. In fact, his actions made it look as if he was doing a modified striptease for us, which almost caused me to laugh. Reid didn't react to it, though, because he went off to warm up the shower instead.

After we finished washing each other, I helped Evan put on his PJs, while Reid and I put on our underwear. Then, we got into bed together and I cuddled with Evan first, thinking that would help him fall asleep faster. Once I knew he had entered the Land of Nod, I rolled over and nudged Reid so he'd get out of bed. Then, we went into the living room for round two.

As soon as I shut the bedroom door behind us, I looked at Reid and spoke. "Since we did something earlier, I know it will take a lot longer for you to get me off again. For that reason, I'll give you two choices. I can either suck you off, or if you want I'll let you have anal sex with me."

The expression on Reid's face was priceless, as his eyes shot open and his jaw dropped toward the floor. "You mean you're gonna let me fuck you?"

"I will, if you want to try doing that, because it will take forever for me to cum again. My body doesn't recuperate as quickly as yours."

"Yeah, I want to do it then, but I'd rather you did it to me."

"You're not ready for that yet, but we'll do it eventually. Tonight, however, you'll get to see what doing it to me is like first."

I had to sneak into the bedroom again to get the lube, since I hadn't planned on doing this until the last second. As I said earlier, I'm a top, but I have bottomed on occasion. I just felt this would be one more occasion when I'd do this for my partner.

Once I had the lube, I added some to my rectum first and used my fingers to get myself ready, but I knew I didn't have to do too much stretching. Reid's penis wasn't very thick, so this should be easy, and my main focus was making it enjoyable for him. As soon as I was ready, I sucked his penis to make sure he was hard, and then I lubed up his penis, laid on my back, and pulled my legs to my chest.

"I think you know what to do, just go slowly. It's been quite a while since I've done anything like this."

"K," he responded as he walked forward on his knees and got into position.

He was having a slight problem getting his penis in me, a common beginner's mistake, so I had to reach down, grab it for him, and guide him inside. Once he was completely seated in my rectum, I told him he could begin, but I warned him not to pull it all the way out. He said he understood and began to rock in and out of my backdoor.

Reid's instincts took over and he began to pound my backside in a furious fashion. Just as I figured, he was very excited about doing this and didn't last very long. He'd only been at it for a minute or two before I felt him stiffen and shoved his penis in me, and then he froze momentarily, as he emptied the contents of his testicles into my butt. Afterward, he collapsed on top of me, completely overcome by his first attempt at anal sex.

I kissed the top of his head as I waited for him to recover, and I felt his penis soften and slip out of my tunnel well before that happened. Once he'd recuperated, he lifted his body, looked into my eyes, and spoke.

"That was really awesome. It was a lot better than when you jerked me off, but it was kinda like when you suck me, because my dick was surrounded in warmth, like when it's in your mouth. It was just different, though, because this time I had to do all the work. Usually, you do that for me."

"Yes, I guess that's true, but did you enjoy it and would you want to do it again?"

"Yeah, of course."

"And with practice you should learn to slow down so you'd last a little longer. I think that was the quickest you've cum anytime we've done stuff together."

"Probably. I was kinda excited."

"Really? I couldn't tell," I joked, since he'd humped my butt like a horny bunny.

"Quit teasing me. I bet you did that your first time too."

"Yes, you're right about that. I did cum quickly my first time too."

"How old were you when you did it?"

"I was sixteen or seventeen. I can't remember if it was just before my birthday or just after it."

"So who did you do it with?"

"It was a boy I went to school with."

"Was he in your grade?"

"No, he was a couple of years younger."

"So you've always liked younger guys?"

"Yes, I guess you could say that, but I've had partners around my age too."

"So I'm a lot younger than you were when you first did it. Right?"

"Obviously, since you're only thirteen."

"Am I the same age as the guy you did it to?"

"I think he was a year or two older than you are now, but I think we've discussed this long enough."

"Yeah, ok. I was just curious."

"I know, and I think I've answered all of the relevant questions, so now it's time to get some sleep."

We then went to the bathroom to clean up a bit first, and then we climbed back into bed. Evan was still sleeping soundly, so I cuddled with Reid this time. Before long, we were both sawing logs and blissfully dreaming about what we'd just done.

Evan woke up first in the morning, but he stayed in bed until we woke up too. I was surprised that he hadn't tried to get us up and had merely waited until we'd awakened on our own. However, as soon as he saw our eyes open, he made his desires known.

"I'm hungry. Let's go eat."

I think Reid and I felt the same way, so he and I got dressed while Evan stayed in his pajamas. Ashley was already in the family room watching TV, so I told her I was going to fix us all some breakfast.

"You guys slept a really long time," she grumbled, letting us know she wasn't happy.

"Yes, I guess we were really tired, so I apologize if we made you wait. Evan had to wait for us too, so you weren't alone."

"But he was with you."

"He was, but he woke up before Reid and me. He was just very polite and waited for us to get up too."

"You should have woke them up," she told her little brother. I was thinking he would probably do that if I ever let him sleep with us again.

Once I had quieted their grumbling bellies, they were suddenly in a better mood. Ashley and Evan then went to get dressed, while I cleaned up the kitchen and put the dishes in the dishwasher. Then, they came back to ask me a question.

"What are we gonna do today?" Ashley wanted to know.

"I haven't planned anything special, so what do you have in mind?"

"Can we play with Rylee and Eric again?"

"I could call their mother and ask if she'd mind."

"Yeah, do that."

When I called Amanda, she happily agreed to our request, so I told her I'd walk down to get her children. Evan, Ashley, and Reid all wanted to go with me this time, so I followed Evan and Ashley as they made their way there, since they knew the way by heart. Reid chose to walk beside me.

Amanda must have told the kids we were coming, because they were waiting for us in the yard. After letting her know they were leaving with us, we walked back to our house. Evan walked beside Eric, while Ashley and Rylee walked side-by-side, and Reid stayed with me again.

The kids played together for the rest of the day, and sometimes Reid would do things with Eric and Evan, since there was no one his age to do things with. He spent some time with me too, but since I had other things to take care of, like lunch and planning dinner, he went to spend time with the younger pair instead of helping me. I was a little surprised by that, but I could see his point too, since he was on vacation. That meant he should be spending his time playing, not working, even if it was to help me.

When we walked Eric and Rylee home later, Amanda and I talked briefly. She suggested the kids could come play at her house on Wednesday and Friday too, and then come back to our place on Thursday. I knew the kids would like that, so I agreed. Amanda also asked another question.

"When do you want the kids to come for New Year's Eve?"

"That's on Saturday, but if you wouldn't mind, they can walk back with us when I pick Evan and Ashley up on Friday."

"So you want to keep them for two nights?"

"Yeah, why not? That is if you don't mind, because it will allow them to play together all day Saturday too, and it's really not a big deal."

"Maybe not for you, but it is for me. It will allow me to get a lot accomplished before Bob and I go out on Saturday night."

"Good, then I hope you enjoy yourself."

"Oh, and I asked Eric if he showered with you. He didn't want to admit it at first, but when I told him it was ok, he told me he did and it was a lot of fun. He really likes you and Reid too, not just Evan. I think this has been really good for him."

"Yes, Reid spends time with Eric and Evan too. He has even organized some activities with the kids and they've seemed to enjoy it."

"I'm glad Reid doesn't feel left out, since he doesn't have anyone his age."

"I have a feeling he'll be having some friends over too, at some point. I thought he might do it over the break, but possibly his friends had other plans. He's still had fun with the younger boys, though."

"I'm glad, and I can't thank you enough. Eric has been a much happier child since he's started hanging out with Evan and doing things with you. You've had a huge impact on him."

"I'm happy that I've been able to help, because he's a great kid. I like Rylee too, although I haven't had quite as much to do with her, and they've both been super when they've been with us. There have been absolutely no problems at all."

"That's nice to hear, and Ashley and Evan have been a joy to have over as well."

We then said goodbye and I took my three home again. I was pleased that this was working out so well.

Chapter 26
Preparing for the New Year

Amanda and I took turns watching the kids for the rest of the week. They spent Wednesday at her house and Thursday with me, and then I took them back to her house on Friday. When it was time to pick them up, I brought Eric and Rylee back with us so they could spend most of the weekend at our house. I carried Eric and Rylee's overnight bags for them as we walked the two blocks, and I could see all of the kids were wound up. Evan, Eric, Rylee, and Ashley were excited about being together for such a long time, as well as showering together too, while Reid was looking forward to spending the time alone with me. I think it was another win-win for everyone.

The kids played until Brad and Pam got home, and then they all came down to say 'hi' and thank them for letting them do this. Since we had company for dinner, I whipped up a barbeque meatloaf, fried potatoes, and candied carrots, plus I'd made a chocolate cake for dessert. As soon as Brad and Pam were ready to eat, I called the kids out to the table.

"Wow, this is good," Rylee said after taking a few mouthfuls. "Who made it?"

"Uncle Quinn did," Reid answered, "and I helped him."

"My mom puts gravy on her meatloaf, but this is different."

"Yes, I used barbecue sauce instead of gravy."

"And the carrots taste better too."

"I merely added a little brown sugar to perk them up, but not too much."

"It's all really good, and I like these potatoes too."

"I'm glad, but save some room, because I made a chocolate cake for dessert."

"I didn't know a man could cook," she said, totally bewildered. "My dad never does anything like that."

I didn't know how to respond to her comment, but Pam jumped to my rescue. "My husband doesn't do that either, but Quinn is different, and he's teaching Reid how to cook too. Some of the world's best chefs are men, but not all men like to cook. We're just lucky that Quinn does."

"Yeah, cuz this is really good."

After we ate, the kids went to play for a while, but Reid stayed behind to help me clean up. Pam offered to help too, but we told her we had everything covered, so she merely smiled, nodded her head, and thanked us. She also gave Reid a kiss and told him that she was glad that he was learning to be more like me, which caused him to blush.

"Did she just say that because I'm learning to cook and clean up, or was she talking about what we do at night too?" he asked after she'd walked away.

"I think it was mostly about the cooking and not being afraid of helping out with the clean up, but I'm sure she has a pretty good idea about the other things we do too. It doesn't bother her, though, because she understands you're gay and she's pleased to see you're happy and safe."

"So she knows what we do?"

"It's not hard to figure out, since she and your father probably do some of that stuff too."

"Yuck. I don't want to think about that." His comment caused me to laugh.

"You're lucky she doesn't react the same way about you."

When it was time to shower and get ready for bed, Pam took the two girls up with her. Eric was super excited as well, as he and Evan raced up to Evan's room to get their things. When they had what they needed, they came flying back to my apartment, traveling at breakneck speed. I was a little worried when I saw them tearing down the stairs, but they managed to make it in one piece. Luckily, I'd already opened the door to my apartment, otherwise they might have knocked it off its hinges as they sped inside and started getting undressed.

As we were heading toward the shower, Eric made a surprise announcement. "I want Reid to wash me this time, and I want him to do the same thing to my wiener that I did to his when I washed him."

Reid suddenly turned and looked at me, his mouth hanging open and with a shocked expression on his face. I believe we were both thinking that Eric meant he wanted Reid to stroke his penis, basically masturbating him, the same as he'd done to Reid when he'd washed him. I merely looked at Reid, just as confused as he was, but I shrugged my shoulders and nodded at the same time. I wasn't sure why Eric had requested Reid to do this, but if it was what he wanted, I gave Reid permission to go ahead.

As he was washing Eric, I began washing Evan too, although our eyes were glued on the other pair. When Reid eventually began to stroke Eric's penis as he'd requested, his little dick sprang to attention and stuck out from his body. When Evan saw that, he made his own request.

"Uncle Quinn, do that to me too."

Needless to say, I was speechless and wasn't sure how to react, but Evan was insistent. "Come on. Do that to me too."

Since I'd let Reid do it to Eric, I couldn't very well deny Evan, so I started doing the same thing to him. Before long, his little spike was as stiff as it could get and jutted out from his midsection as well.

"Keep doin' it," Evan urged when I suddenly stopped.

"Yeah, do it 'til it makes us all tingly," Eric added. His comment made me wonder how he knew about such things.

When Reid glanced over at me again, I nodded to let him know it was ok to continue, and we stroked their little dicks until their bodies shuddered and they were panting in pure delight.

"That was fun," Eric gasped, since he'd recovered fairly quickly.

"Yeah, it felt great," Evan agreed.

"So I take it you've done this before?" I followed as I eyed both boys suspiciously. They both began to blush and looked down at the floor before one of them finally answered.

"Yeah, after I did it to Reid the first time and his penis got stiff," Eric said in a low voice, "Evan and I tried it on each other before we went to sleep. Our wieners got stiff just like Reid's did, and when we kept doin' it, our bellies and wieners got all tingly."

"Yes, I'm sure they did, but this is something else you shouldn't talk about or tell anyone else."

"We didn't tell no one else. We'd never tell nobody about doing stuff like this," Eric confirmed. Outside of his use of double negatives, I believed he meant what he'd said.

"Good, but this may be the only time Reid and I will do it with you," I replied.

"Why? It's fun."

"I know it is, but it's not something an older person should be doing with someone as young as you."

"Why? We don't mind, do we Evan?"

"No, I don't."

"Still, I'm not sure we should do it again."

"Can we do it to Reid when we wash him too?" Eric continued. "I want to do it until he feels all tingly too."

"Yeah, me too," Evan concurred.

Even more stunned by this pronouncement, I merely looked over at Reid to see how he was reacting to the suggestion. At first he merely shrugged his shoulders when I looked at him, and then he finally spoke. "I guess they can do it to me too, but just this one time."

That was all the two little ones needed to hear, because they quickly latched on to Reid's penis, with Eric's hand near the head and Evan's hand at the base. Then, they simultaneously began to slide their hands up and down the length of Reid's shaft, as it gradually began to firm up. As soon as he had a raging erection, the boys continued their actions, while glancing between Reid's penis and his face. I think they wanted to see what he looked like when he got all 'tingly'.

The thing was that neither boy knew what he was in for. After stroking Reid's penis for a couple of minutes, Reid began to pant, his face grew flush, and then he grunted as ropes of his boy cream spurted from the tip of his penis. Eric and Evan weren't prepared for this, because they didn't know it was going to happen, so they were totally shocked when it did. Some of Reid's semen landed on each of them – their hands, arms, and even some on their bodies. They looked at me in horror as Eric spoke.

"He just peed on us!"

"No, that isn't pee," I corrected, and then I went on to explain what had happened. I also informed them about why a male's penis did this when it was stimulated and what the semen's function was.

"So that stuff makes babies?" Evan wondered.

"Yes, when it's squirted inside a girl," I agreed.

"How does that happen?" Evan pressed, as he looked at me for an answer.

"I think that's something I'll explain to you at another time," I answered, since I wasn't sure if they were ready for that talk yet.

"Is it what made us feel all tingly?" Eric asked next.

"Yes, it was," I agreed.

"But we didn't have that stuff come out of our wieners," Evan objected.

"That's because your bodies are still too young to produce it, even though you're able to get the tingly feelings when your body tries to make it come out. When you get older, like Reid, your wiener – but maybe you should start calling it a penis now, will start to mature. Besides getting hair around it, your penis will get bigger too, and so will your testicles. That's the proper name for what you might call your balls or nuts. When your testicles start to grow, then they'll start producing semen too.

"Can we check your testy... balls too?" Eric asked Reid directly.

"Ok, but do it gently. It can hurt and cause a lot of pain if you're too rough with them."

"Ok, we'll do it easy then. Won't we, Evan?"

When he agreed, both boys manually inspected Reid's scrotum and its contents, and then they did the same thing to each other. "Yeah, his balls are a lot bigger," Eric confirmed.

"Can we do that to you now, Uncle Quinn?" Evan quickly followed.

"No, I think you've done enough for today, so we'll wash Reid and then you can wash me before we run out of hot water."

I heard some disgruntled groans, but they did what I asked and Reid and I were soon clean too. The two boys still manipulated my penis slightly, but they stopped when I told them that was enough. Once we left the shower, I dried them off and helped put on their PJs before I slipped on my clothes.

After I took the two younger ones up to Evan's room and tucked them in, I returned to my apartment. Reid was still naked, but he looked at me quizzically as I entered the bedroom. I was pretty sure I understood why.

"Man, I never expected that!" he stated, still totally amazed.

"Yes, it was a total surprise for me too. I think it answered one of the questions I had earlier, though."

"What was that?"

"When Evan washed your penis for the first time, he manipulated it until you started getting hard and then he looked up at your face and smirked. I felt it meant that he knew more than he was letting on, and their confession earlier proved it."

"What confession?"

"That they'd done it to each other before they went to sleep at least once before. I'm not sure how many times they've tried it, but they certainly knew what they were doing to us when they washed our privates after that first time Eric did it to you."

"Oh, so that's what they were trying to do all along."

"That would be my guess," I concurred.

"I'm not sure I can cum again, since I just did, but you can still use the dildo in my butt." Reid then grinned at me coyly as he awaited my response.

"Yes, I can do that."

I grabbed the dildo and the lube, but before I used it on him I had something else in mind first. After he'd pulled his legs back to his chest, I bent down and rimmed him instead, and I spent quite a few minutes doing that, since I knew he liked when I did it to him as well. Once I had him squirming, panting, and cooing, I lubed up the dildo and slowly inserted it. After toying with him for a few minutes and sliding it in and out, I flicked on the vibrator and watched his reaction. It was precious, as his face first lit up, and then drifted into a peaceful, angelic expression. The boy truly liked anal play.

As I continued to increase the vibrator's speed, I tilted the dildo toward his prostate. After a few seconds, his body began to twitch and shudder, as a small amount of semen oozed from the tip. He had definitely orgasmed again, however this time he didn't produce very much.

Reid seemed totally drained after he'd cummed, so I merely cleaned him up and then cuddled with him as we drifted off to sleep. I'm certain that if I'd given him time to recover he would have wanted to do something to me, but I decided to merely let him savor what he'd been through. I was thinking he might possibly enjoy it again in his dreams.

When we awoke the following morning, Reid made a comment as soon as I opened my eyes. "Hey! You didn't let me do anything to you last night."

"No, you seemed to be out of it, so I decided to just let you enjoy those feelings as you fell asleep."

"Then I'll make it up to you tonight," he added, however, I wasn't sure if he meant it as a promise or a threat.

As soon as we got dressed, we went out to have breakfast with the rest of the family. The four other kids were in the family room watching their Saturday morning shows, as they waited for us to get up so we could eat. Luckily, they hadn't gone to check on Reid, so they didn't know he'd spent the night with me again. They were all too happy with their own situations to worry about anything else.

Once we'd filled our tummies, the kids went back to watch their programs, so I stayed to chat with Brad and Pam, while Reid went to my apartment to wait for me.

"So where are you going tonight?" I asked.

"We're going out to dinner first, and then we'll move to another location for the rest of the night. One of my bosses was able to hook me up with a couple of VIP tickets to the Couture Nightclub for later. I'm told they'll have four DJs and a 4-hour open bar, so we'll be able to drink and dance the night away. Seeing I didn't want to risk driving home drunk afterward, I reserved a room at a nearby hotel where we'll spend the rest of the night. I hope you don't mind that we won't be back until sometime on Sunday."

"No, not at all. I'd rather know you're safe in a hotel, than worrying that you've been locked up on a DWI charge or involved in an accident."

"I had a feeling you'd be ok with it."

After we'd cleared that up, I went to my apartment to see what Reid wanted. He'd let me know before I stayed behind to chat with his parents that he wanted to talk to me about something, and I could only guess what. He was sitting in my living room when I entered, but he jumped up and raced toward me the minute he heard the apartment door open. After giving me a big hug and a kiss, he let me know what he wanted.

"So what are we going to do tonight?"

"Do you mean with the other kids or after they're asleep?"

"Just us, once they're in their rooms."

"I don't know. Did you have a suggestion about something special you wanted to do?"

"No, I just wanted to say that I owe you, because I didn't do nothin' to you last night."

"Another double negative."

"Huh?"

"Didn't do nothin' to me. That's another double negative."

"Oh, ok. I didn't do anything to you last night, so I want to do something special tonight."

"Like what?"

"How about I let you fuck me, since you let me do it to you?"

"No, you're not ready for that yet."

"But I'm willing to try."

"But I'm not willing to take the chance of hurting you. My penis is about twice as thick as the dildo I've been using on you, and that's a big difference."

"Are you sure we can't do it?"

"Definitely, although I have another idea, but I want to keep it a surprise until later."

"I hope it's good then."

"I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

The other kids continued to watch their programs on TV until lunch time, while I worked on my story and Quinn read over my shoulder. I don't usually like doing it that way, because I often change my mind and alter what I've written, sometimes rewriting entire sections. However, he'd been very good about the things we'd done so far and had been extremely patient with Eric and Evan, so I was giving him as much leeway as I could. He merely read what I typed and didn't say a word. I was surprised that he wasn't offering any suggestions or criticisms, so it was almost as if he wasn't even there.

After lunch, Brad told the kids he was going to watch something on the television, so they decided to go outside and play. They didn't stay out for very long, though, since there was a bit of a nip in the air. Instead, they went upstairs to play.

Seeing that left Reid and me alone again, we went back to my apartment. I was planning to write again, but Reid had another idea in mind. "We aren't going to be able to do anything until after midnight, so will you suck me off now?"

I was amazed that he wanted to do this, especially seeing he'd cummed twice the day before, but after I thought about it for a minute, I answered. "It might not be that late, because the other kids will probably fall asleep before then, but if that's what you want, then I'll do it for you."

After saying this, I got up and walked over to lock the door so we wouldn't be disturbed, before heading back to be with Reid again. I thought this was just going to be a quickie, but when I joined him in the bedroom, he was completely naked.

"I thought you just wanted me to suck you off?"

"Uh, maybe you could rim me first."

I knew Reid really enjoyed being rimmed, so I agreed. I used my tongue to attack his butt hole for a few minutes, and then I toyed with his scrotum, before swallowing his rod. As I began to bob up and down on his penis, I added some suction too, but I also slipped a finger into his rectum so I could massage his prostate. Once I found that leathery button, I began stroking it and it didn't take long before Reid was filling my mouth with his sweet boy cream. As soon as I'd drained him completely, I let his penis fall from my lips, and then I allowed him time to recover. Once he came down from his powerful release, he looked at me and grinned.

"Do you want me to do that to you now?"

"No, I'll wait until tonight. I don't recuperate as quickly as you do, so I don't want to mess things up for later."

"Ok, old man," Reid teased.

He didn't realize it, but he'd just made a fatal mistake. He was totally naked and laying on my bed, which put him at a major disadvantage. Seeing him so vulnerable, I pounced and began to tickle him, causing him to squirm and giggle hysterically as I dug my fingers into his ribs and didn't relent.

"Who's an old man?" I began asking.

"You," he responded in between giggles.

"Ok, keep it up and so will I," I stated, as I continued to tickle him.

"Ok. Ok. You're not old," he gasped out in between giggles. "I give up."

I finally let up and laid down beside him, slightly exhausted from that brief, but energetic, workout. Reid quickly rolled his naked body on top of mine and began to kiss me passionately.

"I love you so much, even when you're doin' stuff like that to me."

"And I love you too, my sweet, sweet boy."

I wasn't in a hurry to end this, but I was afraid someone else would come around to see what we were up to. Not wishing for that to happen, I had Reid get dressed so we could go out to join the rest of the family.
