Chapter 37
Life Goes On

We slept in late the next morning, and I was glad I'd remembered to lock the apartment door before turning in. That was because around 10:00 I heard someone rattling the doorknob, trying to get in. When I heard the person knock too, I woke the boys and told them to get dressed, as I did the same. Then, I went to see who was there. It was Evan, and he had a confused look on his face.

"Did Reid and Chad stay here with you last night? They weren't in Reid's room when I went to get them for breakfast."

"Yes, we talked for a while after you went to bed and I let them sleep down here. I was afraid they'd wake the rest of you up if they stumbled upstairs that late at night, because they were really tired."

"Ok, but Mommy told me to have you all come eat. The rest of us are already done, but she said she'd make your breakfast too, if you hurried up."

As we were coming out of my apartment, I saw Brad and he had the biggest, shit eating grin on his face. It appeared that he thought I'd gotten lucky last night with two boys, instead of one. I wasn't about to confirm that for him, and later I insisted it had all been totally innocent.

Pam, on the other hand, began to blush when she saw both boys following me out to eat. I wasn't sure what she was thinking we'd done, but I was fairly certain Brad had been saying things to her that had caused this reaction. Nonplussed, the boys and I continued to move in her direction.

"I could have fixed breakfast for us, if you had something else to do."

"Nonsense. I fed the rest of the family and wanted to do the same for you. What would you like? I have everything ready to make Western omelets or French toast."

"Make both and we'll split it," Reid replied after talking briefly with Chad.

"I'll just have an omelet. I'll make some toast while I'm fixing my coffee."

"Ok, and Reid can pour each of you a glass of juice."

Reid immediately went to do that, with Chad's assistance. He handed Chad three glasses from the cupboard and then grabbed the juice from the fridge and they took everything over to the counter to pour a glass for each of us. After Reid put the juice away, they carried the glasses into the dining room.

I took my coffee and toast in and set it on the table too, but then I went back to help Pam carry the plates in. Chad and Reid's had two slices of French toast and half an omelet on each, while my plate only contained an omelet.

"Thanks, Mrs. Kruse. This is really good."

"You're welcome, Chad, and I'm glad you like it."

Reid and I thanked her too, as we stuffed our mouths and filled our bellies. When we finished, Chad turned to me.

"I had a really great time with you guys, but I think I should go home now. My dad has been really good about letting me stay over here, but he'll want to spend some time with me too. I also have chores to do and he might need my help with some other stuff too."

"It's not a problem and I'll be happy to drive you home."

Chad went to get his things, and then he and Reid went out with me to my car so I could drive Chad home. As I pulled into the driveway, Chad added a parting comment.

"Thanks again. I had a really great time, especially last night. I hope we can do something like that again."

"You're welcome, but I'm not sure about a repeat of last night. I'll have to think about that."

"I hope you'll do it."

After he got out and we'd pulled out of his driveway, I turned to confront Reid. "Did you two plan last night in advance?"

"No, I had nothing to do with it," he commented looking scared. "I knew Chad wanted to do something with you, and if you remember I told you that I've admitted to him that I'd always wanted to do something with you too. I think that's why he thought it was a good time to try."

"But last night you told me you wanted me to give in too."

"I know, but it's because I didn't want to do it with just Chad again. I've told you before that I'd rather be doing those things with you, so doing it with both of you was better than doing it without you."

His response made sense, so I decided to let him off the hook. "Ok, but I don't know if we should do it again."

"Why not? Chad won't say anything, and that was kind of hot. I got turned on watching you do it with Chad, and that's why I cummed so quickly when you sucked me off."

"So it doesn't bother you that I was doing it with someone else?"

"Not as long as I'm there too. Maybe next time we can suck each other off at the same time."

"So you want to get into group sex?"

"Maybe once in a while, but not all the time. I like when it's just us too, 'specially after you start making love to me."

"Damn, you're just full of surprises," I said as we reached the house.

This definitely gave me something to think about, because I never wanted to get involved with anyone else fearing I'd be cheating on Reid. Obviously, he didn't want me to do that on my own, but he wouldn't mind as long as he was included. I won't push for it to happen again, but I guess if he's bringing someone else home for both of us to enjoy, then it might not be such a bad thing after all.

I know I enjoyed doing it with Chad as well, although I liked doing it with Reid even more. He was the one I wanted to stay with me forever, but maybe this would be killing two birds with one stone, so to speak. It would allow him to fool around with boys his own age without me having to worry that he might leave me. Maybe this way we could both enjoy the best of both worlds.

We had a fairly relaxing weekend, seeing Brad and Pam were resting up from work and the kids were still satisfied from the fun filled week. The next thing on the calendar was Ashley's birthday, so Pam began questioning her about what she wanted to do this year.

"Do you want to have a party?"

"Yeah, and you can invite Rylee, Evan, and Aunt Amanda."

"What about Uncle Bob?"

"He's gone most of the time, so I don't think he'd want to come to my party."

"Do you want to invite anyone else?"

"Nah. I think my friends from school would pick on me because I'm such good friends with Rylee. They'd think she was a baby, cuz she still goes to the elementary school. We can do that next year, though, cuz Rylee will be in the Middle School by then."

"Ok, if that's what you want. When would you like to have it?"

"Not next weekend, cuz we're 'sposed to stay at Rylee's house, so can we do it the weekend after that, when they're staying here?"

"Ok. I'll plan your party for Saturday the 29th then. We can do it at noon and have a pizza party, if you want. Would you like to do anything else?"

"Maybe you could take us to see a movie after we eat."

"Ok, I'll see what is playing that weekend and then I'll let you choose which movie you want to see."

"K. That sounds good."

The kids returned to school on Monday, so I was home alone again. Nothing much happened until Tuesday, when I got a email from my agent.

Quinn,

Good news! Attached is a copy of the contract for your new book. It's for the same amount as you got for your last book, including the percentage on excess sales, so just print it out, sign it, and send it back to me. The publisher said the book will be out in time for Christmas and will probably hit the stores in October, so congratulations. Start thinking about your next book.

Congrats again, Gene

I was thrilled and knew Reid would be excited when he heard the news too. I wasn't sure if Brad was planning to turn my second book into a screenplay too, or if he might want to use the new book instead, for Reid's sake. I'll have to talk to him about it after I share the news with everyone tonight.

I immediately downloaded the contract and sent it to the printer. Then I signed it, put it in an envelope, addressed it to my agent, and drove to the post office to send it by certified mail. My agent might get it by Friday, but he'll definitely have it by Monday, so when I got back I sent him another email telling him the contract was signed and in the mail.

When the kids got home, I asked how their day went and listened to each of them relay their story. After Evan and Ashley went up to their rooms, Reid asked me the same question.

"Oh, it was ok. I merely got an email from my agent with a contract for the new book, so I signed it and sent it back to him."

It took a minute before this registered with him, but then he began jumping up and down in joy. "When will it come out? When will my friends be able to read about my character?"

"My agent said it will probably be released in October, in time for the holiday season."

"That's terrific and I'm sooo excited. Are you going to start writing the next book now?"

"I told you I wanted to see how this one sells first."

"Just start it, because you know I want to read it. Besides, if this book sells like your others, you'll be able to get it to the publisher sooner."

"Ok, I might do that, because it wouldn't be a total waste of my time. If nothing else comes of it, then it will be my gift to you."

After hearing my comment, he wrapped his arms around my body and gave me a huge hug, before he started kissing my face. "I love you so much and I'm glad you're gonna do this for me. You're the best boyfriend ever."

"Easy on saying that out here where Ashley and Evan might hear you. They don't know about any of this yet, and I don't want them to start asking questions. I'm sure your parents aren't prepared to give them the answers about what's been going on either."

"Ok, I'll be more careful then, but I still really love you."

Reid spent the rest of the time giving me ideas about things he thought I could use in a new story. He talked incessantly as he helped me prepare dinner, and when his parents arrived home, he told them the news before I had a chance to do it.

"Uncle Quinn sold his new story and it will come out in October. I'm so excited, but now you've got to write a script for it, so this one can become a movie too."

"Whoa, hold on their partner," Brad shot back. "Let's see how things go first. Let's not put the cart ahead of the horse."

"You and Uncle Quinn have some really silly expressions, but I get the point. I'm just really excited about this, since one of the main characters is based on me."

"I know, and by the way, congrats Quinn. This is exciting news."

"Yes, it's always exciting when I know a check will be arriving soon."

That was basically the topic of discussion for the rest of the week. In fact, the following night when Reid arrived home from school, he started talking about it the minute he walked through the door. "I told Chad and all my other friends the news about your new book. They're kind of jealous that the main character is based on me and it might be turned into a movie."

"Hey, what did your dad say about getting ahead of yourself. Yes, the book is coming out, but I'm wondering how your friends will react when they see how nerdy Reed is in the story."

"Reed isn't nerdy!"

"They might think so, since he's always studying history or learning about the Egyptian culture."

"That doesn't make him a nerd. It just means he's smart and curious."

"So how many teenagers do you know who'd give up their summer vacation to go on a dig in the desert with their father?"

"Ok, some people might think it's nerdy, but I think it's exciting. It makes Reed sound like a young Indiana Jones."

"Oh, you're not getting carried away much, are you? I wonder if your hats are still going to fit on that swelled head."

"Very funny."

I was actually glad he was happy and excited, but I was trying to keep him from making too big of a deal out of this. I definitely hadn't made Reed sound like a nerd in the story, but I'd said it to see how he'd react. I was hoping it would bring him back down to earth; otherwise he might become insufferable to live with. I also hoped he wasn't like this around his friends and didn't make those types of comments to them. If he did, I was worried that they wouldn't want anything more to do with him, so I'd have to continue talking to him about this in private, because I didn't want to see anything like that happen.

Things quieted down until Friday night. I drove Evan and Ashley over to stay with Eric and Rylee this time, because they were taking some of their toys with them and I was in the middle of fixing dinner. When I returned home a few minutes later, I found a naked Reid waiting for me.

"What would you have done if it had been your parents coming home early, instead of me?"

"I made sure it was your car pulling in the driveway, or I would have run to your apartment and shut the door. They probably wouldn't have said anything even if it was them, because they know we do stuff with each other. I wouldn't want my mom to see me like this, though, cuz I don't want her lookin' at my naughty bits."

"I'm sure she'd be impressed seeing how well you've matured and developed."

"Maybe, but I still wouldn't want her to see me with nothin' on."

"Then don't take foolish chances."

"I'm just in a hurry to get started. I want you to use the biggest dildo on me again so I'll be ready to do it with you."

"If we do it now, we won't do it again later."

"We can do this now and then you can just suck me off later."

"Damn, you aren't too demanding. Are you?"

"Come on, I know you like doin' it as much as me."

"Ok, I'll concede that much, and I also have to admit that you're making me feel like a teenager again."

"Enough talk! I want some action."

He then grabbed my arm and began pulling me to the bedroom. I didn't fight him and went willingly, eager to spend some quality time with my boy. He was a horny little bugger, but no more so than most teenage boys, but I'd been removed from that scene for quite a while. My last couple of partners enjoyed sex, but we didn't do it every night, just three or four times a week. We didn't do it multiple times in one day either, because it took time for us to recuperate afterward. Even if my body wasn't reacting as quickly as when I was a teenager, I now found my mind thinking as if I was still that young.

As soon as we got to the bedroom, he jumped on the mattress and pulled his legs back, ready to begin. "Come on. What's taking you so long?"

I knew he was just teasing, but he was definitely eager to get started. I got everything ready as quickly as possible and then moved into position. He was already panting like a woman in labor as he prepared to accept the bulbous head.

After I'd lubed his rectum and worked a finger into him, I used multiple fingers to open him wider. When he was stretched as much as I could manage with my hand, I placed the dildo at his entrance and asked if he was ready.

"Yeah, just do it."

I added a little pressure and watched it expand the opening until it popped inside. I kept glancing up at his face to see how he was doing, and could tell this still wasn't easy for him. He was straining as he pushed his butt muscles out to make it easier, but he still grimaced as it entered him. I heard a little grunt too, but he was doing his best to hide his discomfort from me. He seemed determined not to do anything that might cause me to delay this any longer than I already had.

After giving him some time to adapt to the intruder, I began to ease it down his chute. He grunted a few more times as it went deeper, but that merely let me know this wasn't easy for him, but it didn't necessarily mean it was painful. Since his face didn't register any signs of distress, I wrote his reaction off as being acceptable.

Once the dildo was totally embedded in his bowels, I gave him a minute to get used to it before I began sliding it back and forth. I never removed it completely, because I didn't feel he was ready for that yet, but it was something I would do at a later date.

I was impressed with how well he was handling it, but I was worried he might be hiding any relevant issues from me because he was concerned about how I might react. Therefore, I was going to take my time doing this with him until I was convinced he wasn't having any problems.

When I finally removed it, I grabbed the vibrating dildo and inserted it, turning it on as I sucked him off. When I turned it to the next speed he let out a little yelp, but only because it had been resting against his prostate when it happened. I continued my efforts until he finally released his load of boy cream, and after I drank it down, I waited for him to recover.

Reid wanted to return the favor, but I told him he could do that later, when I sucked him off again. I told him I was going back to finish making dinner, since I had stopped to drive Evan and Ashley to the Van Pattens. I usually just walked them there, but since I was working on dinner and they were taking so many other things with them, I drove instead. Unfortunately, someone else distracted me when I got back, so it hadn't worked out the way I'd intended.

I'd just entered the kitchen and Reid was still in my apartment when I heard the front door open. I went to see what was going on, thinking that maybe Reid had gotten dressed and was heading outside, so I was surprised when I saw Brad and Pam coming inside.

"My, you're home early."

"Yes. Pam called and told me she was having bad cramps and her boss had told her she could leave early, so she wanted to see if I could leave too. My boss agreed, and there was a lot less traffic at this time, so here we are."

"Pam, why don't you go lay down, after you take whatever medication might help. I can take care of things here, and I've already taken Evan and Ashley over to the Van Patten's house."

"Thank you, and I think I'll do that."

I assumed she was having her period and suffering from bad menstrual cramps, which made me glad I was a male. Brad went with her, but he probably just did it so he could change before she got comfortable. Once they both went to their bedroom, I hurried to warn Reid that they were home.

"I'm glad you didn't come out like that, because your parents came home early."

"Quit joking with me."

"I'm not. Your mother wasn't feeling well so they got their bosses to let them leave early. Even though I cautioned you about it earlier, I think this should prove to you that it could have actually happened. You might have come out and let them see the whole nine yards. Well, it isn't that long, but you know what I mean."

"Damn, you're serious, aren't you?"

"Yes, your mother went to her bedroom to lie down and your father went to change. Put something on and come out to join us. I don't want your father to think that all we do is have sex. He already thinks I did it with both you and Chad."

"You did."

"Yes, but he doesn't need to know that. I actually told him nothing happened, so be careful you don't spill the beans."

"There's another of your weird expressions."

"Ok, but all I'm saying is don't let him know we included Chad."

"Don't worry, I won't, but Chad's been asking me when we can do it again. I think he's starting to like you as much as I do."

"I think I'm just a novelty and a new challenge for him."

"No, he says you did it better than he thought possible, so he wants you to do it to him again, but he wants to try other stuff too. He said he learned a lot from that one time."

"I'm sure he did, but I've got to get back to work on dinner. Get dressed and then come out. If your dad asks, tell him you were reading the other graphic novels."

"How could I do that? You haven't given them to me yet."

"I haven't? Well, I scanned them and they're on the flash drive, so I'll give it to you later so you can copy everything to your laptop."

"Ok. I'll remind you this time so you don't forget again."

"I wouldn't have, if you hadn't kept distracting me with other things." I quipped, hoping he understood.

"Well, I like that stuff better, so it's ok, but I'll still remind you."

I'm not sure what Pam did, but she was looking much better when I saw her again later, and she said she was feeling better too. After dinner, Reid and I hung out with her and Brad for the rest of the night and we watched TV together. We let Pam sprawl out on the sofa as she used Brad's leg for a pillow, so Reid and I sat on the floor and leaned against the end of the sofa by her legs. I know there were chairs we could have sat on, but Reid wanted to sit next to me and this was the only way we could do it, since the sofa was occupied. I'm sure Brad and Pam figured that out too, judging from the looks they were giving us whenever I glanced in their direction.

We eventually said goodnight to them and went in to take our shower. Once we finished, it was time for me to keep my promise. This time, however, I decided to rim him first, since I knew he really liked me doing that to him. We hadn't done it since we started using the dildos, so I decided it was time to do it again.

Almost immediately, Reid began to sigh, coo, and squirm in delight. He also reached out and pulled my head against his butt, almost as if he was trying to cram it up his rectum too. I have never been with someone who enjoyed anal play and being on the receiving end as much as Reid did, so I was glad that I could give him so much enjoyment.

After I'd finished rimming him, I licked and sucked my way up his perineum and over his scrotum. Then, I began to run my tongue over and around his penis as I worked my way up the shaft. I paid a little extra attention to the spongy crown, and then I swallowed his dick all the way down to his pubes, before nodding up and down on its length. I also wet a finger and worked it into his chute, so I could stimulate his prostate at the same time.

Reid's hips were bouncing up and down on the mattress, as he mirrored my actions to increase the powerful feelings coursing through his body from my effort. He was moaning and panting as he edged closer to his release, and when the pressure became too great for him to bear, his boy juices spewed from the tiny slit at the tip and he filled me with his tasty nectar. I enjoyed each drop as I drained every bit of fluid that his body had produced. When he could offer me no more, I released his penis from my mouth and let him enjoy the lingering ripples from his powerful orgasm.

After he recovered, Reid was more than eager to do the same thing to me. He followed the identical routine that I had and rimmed me first, before working his way from my backside to my manhood. Finally, he bobbed up and down on my erect organ until he elicited the desired effect and I'd filled him with my seed. Reid didn't waste a drop and swallowed the entire load, giving me as much pleasure from his efforts as I'd given him.

After spending a little more time cuddling and kissing, we got up, brushed our teeth, used the toilet, and returned to bed. We cuddled together for the rest of the night, something that had become as natural for us as breathing, and then we enjoyed a very restful and relaxing sleep.

Chapter 38
A Birthday Weekend

Over the weekend and throughout the following week, Reid and I continued to talk about the potential new story. First, I shared what I had in mind when I'd added that last section to the other story, and then he gave me his take on what he thought I should include. After we had both expressed our ideas, we began to merge these two somewhat divergent views together. I jotted down notes on my computer so I didn't forget anything, and by the end of the week I had a fairly good idea about how I was going to proceed.

On Friday, Amanda dropped off Eric and Rylee, but before she left she asked a question. "What time do you want me to show up tomorrow?"

"The pizzas are ordered so Brad can pick them up at noon, so just be here before then."

"And are there any special plans for after we eat?"

"Yes, Ashley wants to take everyone to see a movie, so Pam made a list of the possibilities and then let her choose one. Pam then got online and ordered tickets so they won't have a problem getting in."

"Do you know which movie they're going to?"

"Yes. Her choices were all PG movies – Smurfs: The Lost Village, The Baby Boss, Wonder, and The Story of Ferdinand. I believe Ashley finally decided on seeing Smurfs: The Lost Village."

"Does she need me to go too?"

"I believe she only purchased enough tickets for her, Brad, and the four younger kids, because Reid and I didn't want to go. You can join them if you want, because I'm sure they'll be able to buy another ticket when they get there."

"No, I don't really want to see it, but at least now I won't feel bad about not going with them. I'll drop off Ashley's gift when I join you for lunch, and then I'll go home when they leave for the theater."

"I'm sure Brad and Pam will be fine with that."

After Amanda left, I checked on the kids and they were busy playing, so I decided to fix dinner, even though it was Pam's night. It wasn't anything elaborate, just fish sticks for the kids and haddock filets for Reid, Brad, Pam, and myself, along with macaroni and cheese and a green salad.

"Quinn, thank you so much for doing this. I was wondering what I was going to fix for tonight, seeing we'll be having pizza at the party tomorrow. I almost called to order Chinese, but I'm glad I didn't do that now."

"So am I."

After we called the kids to the table, Rylee made a comment. "I'm excited about Ashley's birthday party, but I don't know why she didn't invite any of her other friends."

Pam didn't hesitate and spoke up. "I guess that was my fault, because I was so late planning the party. Ashley thought it wouldn't give her friends enough time to clear this with their parents, and she didn't want them to feel badly if they couldn't come. She wants to invite them next year, so I'll make sure I start planning things much earlier next time."

"Good, then maybe we can have an all girl party," Rylee shot back. This caused Pam, Brad, and I to all glance at Eric and Evan, to see how they were reacting to her comment.

"That's ok, cuz we'll have more fun. We'll have Uncle Quinn play with us while they're at the party," Eric responded without missing a beat.

Brad nearly choked on the food he had in his mouth at the time, because his mind was apparently in the gutter and he'd taken Eric's comment as a sexual reference. Reid and Pam both slapped Brad on the back in an effort to help him, and he was blushing as he recovered.

"Sorry. I guess I need a refresher course on eating," he apologized.

"I've always said you had trouble walking and chewing gum at the same time," I quipped, "but you were sitting down this time." I smirked when Brad looked at me.

"Very funny, but I think you know what happened."

"Precisely, and we'll run you through the 'brain wash' later."

Brad quickly glanced around the table to see if anyone else caught the meaning of my comment, but only Pam was giggling, so he felt it had sailed over the kids' heads. We merely went back to eating after that.

After we finished our meal, Pam, Reid, and I took care of the dirty dishes first, before we joined the others in the family room. Brad was saving a seat for Pam on the sofa, so I sat in one of the chairs. My butt had barely hit the cushy seat before Eric wiggled his body over the arm and onto my lap. When Evan saw what he'd done, he did the same from the other side. It was kind of crowded, but neither boy seemed to mind.

Reid was standing off to the side glaring at us, since he thought they had usurped his place. Brad and Pam were watching the scene play out and waited to see what Reid was going to do next. He merely turned around and walked out of the room.

I think his action stunned all of us. We weren't sure where he'd gone, because he never said a word, so we had no idea if he was upset. I was sitting there debating if I should go see if he was all right when he walked back into the family room, carrying one of the dining room chairs. He placed it next to the chair I was sitting on and then leaned against me too. I was glad to see he wasn't making a big deal out of this and apparently didn't have any bruised feelings.

When I looked over at the sofa, Pam was smiling at us, while Brad's eyebrows were raising and lowering in mock curiosity. I knew what he was doing and that he was hinting I was forming my own little harem, so I merely turned my head to watch TV and totally ignored him.

Before long, I had three heads resting against me. Eric and Evan's were leaning against my chest, on either side of my neck, while Reid was leaning against my shoulder. What could I say? I do more with them, so of course they feel close to me. I just hoped Brad wasn't jealous, since two of them were his sons, but I also hoped he didn't think I was having sexual relations with all of them. I'm sure he'll say something later, if that's the case, so I'll set him straight at that time.

After we'd watched a couple of shows, Pam told the kids it was time to get ready for bed. As she took the girls with her, Eric and Evan raced up to Evan's room to get their things. After they'd all taken off, Reid took the chair back to the dining room before heading to my apartment, but I stayed behind to talk to Brad.

"The Pied Piper of L.A.," he teased. "You're not only a hit with my two, but you're also becoming a hit with their friends."

"It's only because I take them places and do things with them."

"Oh, I'm sure of that too," he replied with a mischievous grin.

"No, not that. I only do those things with Reid."

"Maybe so, but I'm sure they'd all let you do more if you wanted."

"That's not my intention, since I don't have the same feelings for them or the same agreement with their parents. If I did that and something went wrong, it could result in a nightmare for all of us."

"That's true, but Pam and I trust you and know what you're doing and you won't do anything to cause that to happen. Now get going, because two of your protégés are coming down the stairs."

I looked up and saw Eric and Evan heading toward us, so I thanked Brad and said goodnight. I then escorted the two boys into my apartment.

"What took you so long?" Reid asked when he saw me.

"I stopped to talk with your dad."

"Oh, is something wrong?"

"No, we were just chatting about a few things."

"Then let's get moving, cuz I'm ready."

I could see he was naked, so I gave him a task. "Good, so you can go adjust the water."

"I always do that," he whined, before heading for the bathroom.

After he left, I started to undress too, because Eric and Evan were nearly done. They waited for me, though, and then we all went to join Reid together.

While I was helping to wash each of them, Eric asked a question. "Can we sleep with you tonight?"

I didn't answer immediately and glanced over at Reid instead. I thought he already felt these two were moving into his territory when they sat with me earlier, so I didn't want to do anything that might upset him. He must have figured out what I was thinking, because he spoke up.

"Yeah, we can all sleep together, if it's ok with you," he said as he looked at me. To say I was surprised would have been an understatement.

"Well, I guess if you all want to, then we can do that too. Evan, you'll just have to go let your parents know."

"Yeah, me and Eric can do that."

Once we'd all dried off and I helped them get into their pajamas, Evan and Eric took off to tell Brad and Pam. After they left my apartment, I turned to Reid. "You surprised me by agreeing to this."

"I know, but after they fall asleep we can go out to your living room and do something. Besides, we can do the other stuff tomorrow, when they all go to the movie."

"I hadn't thought that far ahead, but it's fine with me."

When Evan and Eric returned, Evan had one final comment. "Mommy and Daddy said it's ok. Daddy also said he thought we might want to do this."

I think Brad's comment was just another subtle dig. "Ok, let's get into bed then."

Reid let the two younger boys sleep next to me, and then he got in on the other side of Eric. Once we were all settled, Eric surprised me again. "Me and Evan usually rub each other's wieners before we go to sleep, so will you and Reid do that for us tonight?"

I glanced over at Reid and his eyes were opened wide in amazement. "We'll let you two do that with each other, if you want."

"No, we want you and Reid to do it to us," Evan objected.

I looked at Reid again, to see what he had to say. "I'm willing to do it to Eric, if you want to do it to Evan," he confirmed, and both boys began to cheer.

"Since all of you want to do this, I guess I'll join in too."

As soon as I said that, Eric and Evan began to hurriedly push down their pajama bottoms to expose their immature penises to us. I glanced over at Reid again as he merely smiled, and then his gaze left my face and focused on Eric's groin. After that, we both began to do what the boys wanted.

It didn't take very long before they both enjoyed a dry orgasm, but Eric wasn't finished yet. "That felt really great, so can we do it to you now?"

"No, I think we should stop here. Maybe some other time, but now we should all get some sleep."

They grumbled briefly, but then gave in. Before long Eric and Evan were sound asleep and relishing the good feeling that still lingered from what we'd done for them. Reid and I waited about fifteen minutes more and made sure both boys were asleep before we got out of bed and headed into my living room.

"I certainly wasn't expecting them to ask for that," I stated, once my bedroom door was closed.

"Me either, but I didn't mind doin' it for them."

"I think they appreciated it too."

"And now it's our turn."

After saying this, he leaned in and began to kiss me. I happily joined in and we tongue dueled for a few minutes before I lowered my head and attacked his nipples. When I pulled away from that area, he did the same to me, and then he lay down on the floor, on the far side of the sofa. I was certain he'd done this in case one of the other two woke up and came looking for us, because the sofa would prevent them from seeing anything.

Taking that as my cue, as soon as I joined him I removed his boxer briefs. He didn't usually wear anything when we went to bed and he'd only put them on because Eric and Evan were sleeping with us. Once I'd slid them down, I raised his legs and dove into his butt. I knew it was what he wanted, and my tongue quickly brought him the pleasure he was seeking. After doing that for a few minutes, I made my way northward and attacked his scrotum next, before moving on to his penis. After paying a sufficient amount of attention to it with my tongue, I lowered my mouth over the tip and swallowed it down to the base. Then, I began to bob up and down on his pride and joy.

Reid was thrusting upward with his hips as I lowered my head and we fell into synchronous harmony. After a few minutes of this hectic pace, he rammed his penis into my throat one final time and spewed his load of boy cream. I eagerly drank it all down, and then I licked his penis clean before releasing it and giving him some time to enjoy the experience.

As soon as he recovered, he was ready to return the favor. He then proceeded to do the same things to me that I'd done to him, and he continued until I'd enjoyed my release too. Now that we were both sexually satisfied, we put our boxer briefs back on and prepared to return to bed. Before we got very far, Reid had one more thing he wanted to know.

"Are we gonna let them do that to us sometime?"

"How do you feel about letting them do it?"

"I guess I wouldn't mind, since we've done it to them. I guess that would only be fair."

"Ok, but I'll try to put them off for as long as I can, although I imagine we'll have to let them do it eventually. I'm sure they won't like the fact that it takes us a lot longer to get those same feelings, so maybe we'll just let them do it for a minute or two and then have them stop."

"Yeah, that would be ok."

Since this had been cleared up, we entered the bedroom and got back into bed without waking either boy. Even though they were still asleep, they both rolled over and cuddled against us, which caused Reid and I to smile at each other before closing our eyes.

The next morning, the younger pair eagerly did their best to awaken Reid and me. "Mommy says it's time to get up for breakfast," Evan stated, explaining the urgency.

I guess this meant they had already gone out there in their PJs, or Pam had knocked on the door and I hadn't heard her. "Ok, Reid and I will get dressed and then come out to join you."

"Ok, I'll tell her," Evan agreed as he and Eric raced out of the bedroom.

After Reid and I had put something on, we went out to have breakfast with everyone else. As I sat down at the table, Brad made a comment. "That bed must have been awfully crowded."

"It wasn't too bad, since Eric and Evan don't take up very much space, but we won't be able to do it when they get older," I confirmed, trying to keep Brad from getting the upper hand.

"Oh, I'm sure you'll figure out some way to do it, Mr. Pied Piper. I'm just not sure how you'll arrange it when Reid's friend stays over too."

I scowled at Brad to let him know that was enough, and he must have gotten the message, because he didn't say anything more. I wasn't sure if he actually thought I was doing things with Evan and Eric, although this time he would have been correct, but only because they'd brought it up and it's what they wanted.

After we'd finished eating, I was going to take the kids outside to play first, possibly organizing a kickball game, but the sky was overcast and there was a slight drizzle. That forced me to switch gears and try to think of something else I could do with them. As I turned to ask them what they wanted to do, I noticed that Ashley, Rylee, Eric, and Evan had all gone to the family room. When I checked in on them, they were watching their Saturday morning shows, which I'd obviously forgotten they liked to do.

Since they were taken care, I went out to help Pam get things ready for Ashley's party. "Don't let Brad get to you. He's just having fun watching how you react."

"I hope he doesn't believe I'm doing something wrong."

"No, he just likes seeing you flustered. We both know you'd never do anything that would harm the kids, and as long as it's their idea, we're fine with that too."

I was baffled. Was she talking about the boys sleeping with me, or was she giving me permission to do something sexual with the boys, as long as it was their idea? If she was, I guess I'd just received my 'Get Out of Jail' card, so to speak.

"So what can I do for you?"

"I was just getting ready to run to the bakery to pick up the cake I'd ordered."

"Why don't you let me do that for you?"

"Sure, if you don't mind."

"Not at all. The four younger kids are watching TV, so I'll just go see if Reid wants to go with me." "Thanks. That will be a big help."

As I suspected, Reid wanted to join me when I drove to the bakery. Along the way, he asked a question.

"I've been reading your other graphic novels, but I was wondering if you've written any of the new story yet?"

"I've jotted down a few things, but it's all pretty rough yet. I want to collect my thoughts and make sure it's the way I want the story to start before you look at it."

"Can we just talk about what you have planned then? Maybe I can help you figure things out."

"Ok, after everyone else leaves for the cinema complex."

"And after you use the newest dildo on me. We've got to do that first."

"Oui, mon capitaine."

"What the heck is that suppose to mean?"

"It's French for, 'Yes, my captain."

"Oh."

After we picked up the cake and returned home, I carried it into the house and showed it to Pam. "They did a really good job on it."

"Yes, it's exactly what I wanted," she agreed after checking it out.

"Can I help you with anything else?"

"No, I'm just finishing up the salads, so all I have to do is put them in the refrigerator until it's time to eat. Why don't you go entertain Reid and the other kids."

"The others are watching their television shows, so I guess I'll go chat with Reid about my new story."

Reid was eager to do this, so we went to the living room and began to chat. We did that until the doorbell rang and I got up to see who was there. It was Amanda.

"I hope I'm not too early."

"No, not at all," I replied, as Pam walked in to join us.

"I'm glad to see you, Amanda. Thanks for coming."

"Thank you for inviting me. Here's Ashley's gift, if you want to put it with the others."

"Thanks, and I'll do that. Why don't you come chat with me until we get started. Brad's just about ready to leave to pick up the pizzas."

Once they went into the dining room, Reid and I returned to the living room and continued chatting. We did that until Brad returned and Pam called everyone out to eat.

Pam had made a potato salad and a macaroni salad to go along with the pizza, and there were a variety of drinks to choose from. Once we'd all loaded up our plates and grabbed something to drink, we went in and sat around the dining room table to eat.

At various times throughout the meal, we all took turns wishing Ashley a Happy Birthday. When we finished eating, we cleared the table of leftover food and dirty dishes, and then Pam brought in the cake with eleven lit candles around the outer edge. Ashley took one look at it and gasped.

"It's too pretty to cut and eat." She was referring to the lovely unicorn someone from the bakery had drawn in icing on the top.

"It would be a shame to waste the cake, so why don't we just take some photos of it, so you'll have them to look at later."

Ashley agreed, so after we sang to her, she made a wish and blew out the candles, and then Brad, Pam, and I all began taking photos of the cake with our cell phones. As soon as Ashley felt we had taken enough, she told her mother she was ready to cut the cake.

While Pam was doing that, I went to the freezer to get the ice cream. We knew no one would want a lot now, since we'd just finished eating, but the kids could have more later, if they wished. After we all enjoyed our tasty treat, Pam announced they would have to leave soon if they didn't want to be late for the movie. That's when Eric and Evan wanted to know what they were going to see.

"Ashley chose to go to Smurfs: The Lost Village," Pam told them. "Is that alright with you?"

"Yeah, we'll go too then."

I was glad they'd agreed or it would have messed up Reid's plans for us, and I certainly didn't want to have to deal with a grumpy boy after he'd given in to the other two the night before.

Amanda left first, and then Brad and Pam loaded the kids into the Highlander. Shortly after they took off, Reid was already urging me to do what he wanted. "Come on. I want to get started and not waste any time."

"Damn, you sure are getting pushy."

"Only because I want to do this with you."

I merely smiled, turned, and headed toward my bedroom, with Reid acting as my shadow the entire way. I was glad he was so excited about doing this with me and hoped he would always be so eager. Even though the others were gone, I still locked my apartment door behind us, just in case they returned early or we fell asleep after getting off.

By the time I got to my bedroom, Reid was already undressed and he attacked me as I walked toward the bed. As he was aggressively showering me with kisses, he was also removing my clothing until I was also naked. Then, he announced what he had in mind.

"I want to kiss for a while first, and then you can work on the other areas as you move down to rim me. After that, I want you to use the newest dildo on me next, and then you can suck me off while you're sliding it in and out of my butt."

"Yes, sir. Anything else?"

"Stop that. I just want you to do those things to me and then I'll do the same thing to you, except for the dildo."

"Instead of me sucking you off, you could always use your dildo on me."

"But I don't have a dildo."

"The one hanging between your legs."

"That's my dick, not a dildo. So you want me to fuck you?"

"Only if you want to."

"Yeah, we haven't done that in a while, so ok. It sounds good to me too."

I then did everything he wanted, starting with kissing his face and neck. After that, I worked on his ears next, suckled on his breasts, and worked my way down the rest of his body. I intentionally bypassed his penis and attacked his scrotum instead, before I finally rimmed him. When I felt I'd done that for long enough, I lubed up the dildo and placed it at his entrance.

Reid quickly relaxed as he prepared for it to enter him, and I was amazed that he accepted the bulbous head much more easily this time. Once it had passed through his sphincter, I began easing it down his chute until it was fully seated. I gave him a short time to get used to it, and then I began to ease it back and forth, without extracting it fully. He was visibly panting as I was doing this, which told me he was enjoying it. When I finally stopped, I sucked him briefly to make sure he was hard, and then I told him it was his turn.

I handed him the lube to use on both my backside and his penis, although I knew I shouldn't have trouble taking him. He'd grown a little since we'd first started, but I knew it wouldn't be difficult to accommodate him, so I merely asked if he wanted me on all fours or on my back.

"On you back so I can see your face. That way we'll be able to kiss too."

Since that's what he wanted, I laid down and pulled my legs back, showing him his target. He walked into position on his knees, placed the head of his penis at my backdoor, and then began to push inside. He slipped in easily and slid all the way inside in one fluid movement, and then he began thrusting back and forth as he worked into a rhythm.

I was glad he had chosen to do it this way, because I got to look at his face and watch how he was reacting. He looked very serious as he was going through the motions, and his brown hair had fallen across his forehead and was moving with every thrust. I could tell when he started to cum too, because his face scrunched up in anticipation, as the wondrous feelings overtook him. Reid had lasted longer than I thought he would, and then I felt him filling me with his youthful boy seed. Shortly after he finished, he collapsed on me momentarily, and then started kissing me again.

"Thanks, that was really awesome and I can't wait until you do it to me too."

"It will only be another month or two until I expect you'll be ready, so just be patient."

"You mean I still have to wait? I thought you'd be willing to do it to me now, after today. The dildo went in pretty easy this time and you were able to slide it in and out of me too."

"I know, and that means you're almost ready, but there are still a couple more things you'll need to do first. I'm slightly larger than that dildo, so I want to make sure you're ready for me first, because I don't want to hurt you."

"Damn, I'm tired of waiting, but I'll do what you say, because I know you'll stop doing anything with me if I don't."

I didn't respond to his comment, as he began to work on me next. Even though he wasn't happy, we kissed some more and then he worked his way down my body until he reached my penis. He then sucked me off until he received his reward and I'd filled his mouth with my semen. After taking a few seconds to enjoy my orgasm, I pulled him to me, wrapped my arms around his chest, and kissed him some more. We enjoyed these final moments together until we decided it was time to shower and get dressed again.

Chapter 39
After the Party

Reid and I were discussing my new story when the others returned home, and the kids immediately began telling us about the movie as soon as they saw us.

"You should have come too. The movie was really good," Ashley stated.

"Yeah, Smurfette took everyone into the Forbidden Forest," Rylee added.

"And Smurfette, Brainy, Clumsy, and Hefty found the lost village," Eric chimed in.

"They had to beat Gargamel there and they did it. He's the bad wizard," Evan explained.

"I'm really glad we went to see it," Ashley concluded.

"And I'm glad you all had a good time and enjoyed it," I replied.

"Not all of us," Brad whispered as he walked by.

"I know it's still early, but we're going to go out to eat tonight, since I've had a busy day and don't feel like cooking."

"That's fine with me and I'll pick up the tab," I offered.

"No way!" Brad shot back. "You spent a ton of money taking the kids all over the place during their Spring Break, so this is on me." He seemed determined so I didn't argue with him. I had offered, but he rejected it, so I'd do this his way.

After spending some time with the rest of the family, Reid decided it was time to pull me away. "Me and Uncle Quinn was talkin' about his new story while you were gone and we weren't done yet, so we're goin' back to his apartment."

"Whoa! Look who's taking charge," Brad teased. "I can see who will be wearing the pants in the family."

"Not necessarily," I quipped before adding in a whisper, "cuz I'm going to keep him naked most of the time."

Brad looked at me in shock and Pam giggled, but I hadn't said it loud enough for the others to hear, and Reid was already on his way to my apartment.

"Come on, Uncle Quinn. I wanna finish doin' this before we go out to eat."

"Yes, sir."

"I still think he'll be the boss, even if he's only in his birthday suit," Brad teased as I was leaving.

Reid and I continued talking about the story until Pam told us it was time to leave for dinner. She'd let Ashley choose where she wanted to go and she opted for Italian, so we were soon pulling into our favorite pasta house. Brad told the kids they could order whatever they wanted, as Reid sat on one side of me and Eric and Evan sat on the other. Brad didn't miss noticing this either, as he, Pam, and the girls sat down on the other side of the table.

"Is your little family ready to order?" Brad teased as he looked at each boy's face and then at me.

"What do you think, boys? Do you know what you want yet?"

They all said they did, and then they smiled at me before looking over at Brad, because they'd all caught on to what he'd said too. When the server came to take our orders, we were all set to tell him what we wanted.

The meal was delicious and the kids all had some form of pasta, while Brad, Pam, and I had opted for the Chicken Parmigiana instead, although that included a side of spaghetti as well. When the boys finished eating I had to wipe off Eric and Evan's faces, because they were covered in sauce. Once they were cleaned up, we all got ready to leave, but we also told the kids they could have cake and ice cream at home for dessert, if they wanted. They were good with the suggestion and followed us willingly.

When we got back to the house, Pam cut the kids another small piece of cake while I scooped out the ice cream. Brad and I both had a small bowl of ice cream too, although we skipped the cake, but Pam chose not to have anything. She said she'd eaten enough already and would skip dessert, because she wanted to keep her girlish figure.

"I'm afraid Brad would leave me if I gained weight."

"That would never happen," Brad insisted. "California is a community property state and I can't afford to split everything with you."

Needless to say, Pam punched him in the arm. "You're so romantic," she scoffed.

After we finished our treats, Ashley stated that she wanted to play LCR. We were all fine with her suggestion, so I went to get the game while the others were clearing off the dining room table. Before long, we were battling to see who would win.

I'm not sure how it worked out this way, but Ashley ended up winning the game. We just joked that it was another birthday present from us to her, and then I packed everything up, because it was getting late.

"We'll go get our stuff so we can take our shower with you, Uncle Quinn," Evan announced as he got ready to go upstairs.

"Can we sleep with you again?" Eric followed.

I wasn't sure how to respond, so I glanced quickly at Reid. He was nodding his head as casually as he could, but I understood what he was saying. "Ok, I suppose we could do it again."

The two boys were ecstatic and raced up the staircase to grab their PJs, while Reid started for my apartment. Before I got very far, Brad grabbed my arm. "The Pied Piper and his boys," he joked before letting go.

When I caught up with Reid again, I asked him a question. "I didn't think you'd want to do this again. What changed your mind?"

"I know they want to spend time with you too, so we can do like we did last night and you can use the dildo on me tomorrow." I nodded my agreement and he smiled.

"I'm glad you're willing to share me."

"They're not so bad."

Eric and Evan came racing inside a few seconds later and immediately began tugging at their clothes. They seemed to be in a big hurry tonight, probably because they knew they were going to sleep down here too. I went to lock the door first, and then I came back and began disrobing quickly as well. While we were washing each other, Eric said something else.

"Uncle Quinn, I want you to rub my wiener tonight."

"Oh, I don't think we should do that again."

"But you only did it to Evan and not to me. I want my turn too."

I looked up at Reid and he was doing all he could to keep from laughing. Seeing I wasn't sure if he understood what this meant, I decided to point it out. "If I agree, then it means you'll have to do the same thing to Evan."

"Yeah, I know, but if you remember I did it to him before too, when he was telling us about the new way he and Eric were doin' it." He was correct, but I'd momentarily forgotten about that.

"Ok, as long as you're fine with it too."

"Yeah, cuz I'm only rubbin' it for him, nothin' else."

The younger pair seemed happy now, so once we were all clean we got out of the shower and I dried them off. When I started to help them into their PJs, Eric looked at me and spoke. "Why are we puttin' these on? We're just gonna take them off again."

"No, you're only going to slide them down for a short time, not take them off. Besides, you'll need to wear something to bed."

"Are you gonna let us do it to you tonight too?"

"No, we're going to wait a while longer before we do that."

"But we want to do it to you too."

"Either we do it this way or we won't do anything at all."

Both boys stuck out their lower lips in a pout, but they knew I wasn't going to give in. "K, I'll put on my jammies then," Eric agreed.

Evan did the same, as Reid and I put on our boxer briefs, and then we all got into bed together. The only difference tonight was that Eric and Evan had swapped places. They were both lying next to me, however it was Evan who was between Reid and me this time. Once we were all situated, both boys pushed down their pajama bottoms and looked at us.

"Ok, I'm ready," Eric announced.

"Me too," Evan chimed in.

Seeing they were eager to get started, Reid and I did the same thing we'd done the night before, but this time to the other boy. They were both moaning and enjoying this immensely, so I decided to say something. "I hope you don't make this much noise when you're doing it to each other."

"No, we don't," Evan responded.

"Cuz it never feels this good when we do it to each other," Eric clarified.

"Ok, as long as you aren't this loud when you're doing it in your bedrooms. If you did, then I'm sure you're parents would find out about what you're up to."

"We won't," they both agreed.

Reid and I continued to masturbate them until their little bodies shuddered from their dry orgasms. After they'd had a chance to enjoy it completely, I told them to pull their bottoms back up and we got ready to sleep. Before we did, though, I offered them a warning.

"Now that Reid and I have done this to both of you, it's the last time we're going to do it."

"But we haven't done it to you yet!" Evan whined.

"I know, but..." and then Reid cut me off.

"We should just let them do it now."

"But then they'll want to do it to the other one another time."

"How about we let them each do it to one of us for awhile, and then they can switch and do it to the other one. That way they won't be teasing us again."

His suggestion made sense. "Ok, are you boys willing to do it that way? We'll let you each do it for about a minute, and then you can switch."

"K, but we have to get your wieners stiff before the minute starts," Eric stated. I was impressed with how he had thought this through.

"Ok," I agreed.

As soon as I said that, Eric and Evan got up on their knees and began to pull down our boxer briefs, so Reid and I lifted our hips off the mattress to make it easier for them. As soon as they'd pulled them down to our knees, they hopped back to our waists and began to fondle us until we each had an erection.

"Ok, your minute starts now," I said as they began to stroke our rigid shafts.

I'm sure they did it for longer than a minute before I told them to stop, and then they switched places. I let the other one do it to us next and gave him about the same amount of time before telling them to stop too. As Reid and I were pulling up our underwear again, they scurried back to their original places so we were ready to sleep.

"Thanks. That was fun," the both chirped as they settled into place.

They were still smiling as they cuddled against me, and before long I could hear their gentle breathing, which told me they were asleep. I whispered to Reid that we'd wait a little longer to make sure they didn't wake up, and then we carefully got out of bed and went into the living room.

Once again, we went around to the far side of the sofa before we did anything, but Reid spoke as we were walking there. "It was kinda fun feeling their small hands on my dick, but I never got close to cumming."

"Me either, so I hope they're satisfied now."

I then proceeded to make out with Reid and slowly worked my way down his body again, the same as I'd done the night before. When I reached his waist, I bypassed his pride and joy and moved between his legs. He was already pulling them back to his chest, letting me know exactly what he wanted, so I lowered my head, extended my tongue, and eagerly attacked his puckered opening.

Reid began to moan and coo almost immediately, while also thrusting his hips toward my face. The more we did this, the more excited he became, and then he began making little noises that almost sounded as if he was growling. I could tell he was reveling in the pleasurable feelings that he was getting due to my efforts, so I continued doing it for several minutes. When I felt I'd done it for a sufficient amount of time, I left that area and began to run my tongue over his perineum, and I continued to do this until I reached his scrotum.

I then nipped and tugged at the fleshy sac briefly with my teeth before running my tongue all around the smooth surface, and then I began to suck on the area too. Reid was squirming on the carpet when I finally began to run my tongue up his throbbing shaft, and then he started to moan again when I reached the spongy head. I teased him for a while longer as I licked the crown and thrust the tip of my tongue in and out of the tiny opening. After doing that a few times, I opened my mouth and lowered my head over his pulsing boyhood.

As soon as my nose was touching his pubic patch, Reid's hips began to bounce up and down on the floor as he rammed his penis in and out of my mouth. I'd already put my fingers into my mouth and wet them thoroughly, so I reached my hand down and slid the middle finger into his opening. When I found his prostate, I started to rub it and Reid's moans soon turned into whimpers that sounded like a puppy begging for attention. What Reid was pleading for was some relief and the chance to cum. I was happy to grant his wish and continued to let my lips slide up and down his length, while adding enough suction to draw a thick milkshake up a straw.

I continued my effort for a couple of minutes, and Reid's actions became more frantic as he increased the pace he was using to thrust his penis upward. After another minute, he thrust his hips one final time, froze momentarily, and then the first strand of his sweet boy nectar hit the back of my throat. After a brief pause, he began thrusting his hips again and more of his sweet boy cream filled my mouth, but eventually he grew still as the final droplets merely oozed onto my tongue.

Now that his testicles had been drained, his hips crashed back onto the carpet and he became completely still, except for the raising and lowering of his abdomen. It was lifting and falling with every breath he took until he'd recovered from his powerful release.

After I'd given him time to enjoy the wonderful feelings that were still rippling through his body, Reid rolled over and began kissing me again. "That was incredible and worth waiting for."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thank you for cooperating with the other two, because I think they're just as happy as you seem to be."

"Yeah, it was kinda fun with them too, but I only want to do that once in a while. I enjoy doing these things with you a whole lot more, so let me help you get off now."

After he'd said that, he repeated those same actions on me until I filled his willing mouth with my semen. Now that we'd both orgasmed, I led him back to the bedroom and we crawled in with the younger pair again. Eric started to wake up as I was getting back in place, so I told him I'd only gone to the bathroom and he should go back to sleep. He did, but not before rolling toward me and placing his arm across my chest.

I was awakened in the morning by the sound of whispering. When I opened my eyes, Eric and Evan were leaning over my chest and talking about the night before.

"So you don't think he'll do that with us again?" Eric asked.

"He said it was the last time," Evan answered.

"So you don't think he'll change his mind?"

"No, I won't," I replied, startling them. "I probably shouldn't have done it with you two at all, but I figured I'd at least let you try it, but that's all we're going to do, so let's drop this and never talk about it again."

Both boys seemed surprised that I'd overheard them and now Eric began to stutter in response. "Uh, I was, uh... only asking cuz, ummm... I was hopin', ahhh... that maybe we could, uh... we could do it again."

"You and Evan can do it, but it won't involve me. Please don't make me regret the fact that I gave in to you in the first place."

"K," he said as he began to lie down again. "But I hope you change your mind."

I felt that little act of insolence deserved to be punished, so I rolled in his direction and began to tickle him. He seemed shocked that I was doing this.

"Stop! I'll be good," he wheezed out in between giggles.

"Too late," I countered as I continued to dig my fingers into his ribs.

Since our actions were causing the bed to jiggle and he could hear what was being said, Evan attempted to come to Eric's rescue. Without warning, he jumped on me and tried to pull my hands away from Eric's body. Unfortunately, at the same time his feet were slamming against Reid's body, which caused him to wake him up too. When he saw what was going on, he grabbed Evan and began to tickle him too.

"We... give... up!" Evan shouted in between fits of laughter.

"What do you think Reid? Have they been punished enough?"

"I'm not sure," he answered after figuring out what I was doing.

"We have," Eric chimed in, since I'd stopped momentarily as I carried on this brief conversation with Reid.

"Ok, but if we stop then you'll have to quit bugging us about doing that with you again."

Reid and I had both stopped what we were doing as we awaited their reply. They seemed to be thinking about it, but I thought I'd hasten their answer. "Ok, Reid, since they aren't agreeing to my offer, it's time to continue their punishment."

As we started to tickle them again, they both shouted out their response. "K, we agree!" they both shouted.

"Yeah, we won't ask you to do that again," Evan continued, "but can we still sleep with you sometimes?"

"I suppose that would be alright, but if you start teasing again, then you'll never sleep with me after that."

"Ok, we won't," Eric conceded.

Since this had been settled, we began taking turns running to the bathroom to relieve ourselves, while Reid and I also got dressed. Once those things had been taken care of, we went out to eat, with the boys still in their pajamas.

"Good morning," I greeted Pam as she was working in the kitchen.

"Good morning to you and your band of merry... uh... boys," she quipped back.

I felt she had nearly said merry men, such as Robin Hood had, but then she took into account their ages. The boys, however, caught onto her meaning immediately, although they apparently didn't totally understand it.

"We ain't playin' no music," Evan stated, looking confused.

"Not that kind of band," I explained. "Just a group that hangs out together."

"Yeah, then we are, cuz we like Uncle Quinn," Eric reasoned.

"But these merry boys are hungry, so is breakfast ready," Reid followed. He was a typical teenager thinking of food second, since his sexual needs had been sated temporarily.

"The rest of us had scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. Is that ok with you?"

"Yeah, but I might grab a bowl of cereal too," Reid answered.

The rest of us then agreed it was fine too, so I poured all of us a small glass of juice, while Reid poured them a glass of milk. After we'd carried those items into the dining room, I returned to get a cup of coffee, and then I made the toast and helped Pam fill the plates and carry them to the boys.

Once we'd finished eating, Pam made an announcement. "Rylee and Ashley are in the family room watching their programs, if you two want to join them."

"Yeah," the younger pair squealed before taking off in that direction.

Reid and I then cleared the table and took the dirty dishes into the kitchen. "Thanks, Mom, that was good."

"So are you full?"

"Yeah, for now, but I wouldn't have been if I didn't have the cereal too."

"I'll keep that in mind and try to make a more filling breakfast in the future."

After I thanked Pam too, Reid and I helped her clean up the mess in the kitchen and loaded the dishwasher before I asked a question. "Where's Brad?"

"He's out in the backyard. Some stray animals had decided that our property was a good place to make some deposits, so he went outside to clean it up before the kids stepped in it."

"I guess I should go out and help him."

"Nah, it helps to keep him humble. Whenever he gets too big for his britches, I'll just remind him that he's the guy who follows the parade with a shovel and a barrel."

"Well, I certainly don't want to interfere with that." We both laughed at the thought of how Brad would react. "In that case, I think I'll go back to my apartment and get to work on the new story."

"And I'll grab my backpack and do my homework while he's doing that."

"So I take it this means you'll be in his apartment too?" she followed while smirking at her son.

"Yeah, in case he wants to talk about somethin' too," he added before taking off.

Pam laughed at his transparent explanation as he went to get his things, but she also gave me a knowing nod. I merely shook my head and shrugged my shoulders, to let her know I hadn't been involved in his decision. She was still smiling as I turned to go, and Reid showed up to join me a minute later.

I began working on my laptop and attempted to concentrate on what I was doing. When I looked up a few minutes later, I noticed that Reid had been true to his word and was busy working on something for school. Since it didn't seem as if he was going to be bothering me about what I was doing, I focused on my story again.

When he finished the things he'd been working on, Reid asked when I'd be taking a break. Since I knew what he was hinting at, I answered him.

"It will just take me a couple more minutes to complete this section, and then I take it you want to do something else?"

"Yeah, what we didn't do last night."

"Ok, just make sure the apartment door is locked first, and then we can do that."

Reid did as I'd asked before heading to the bedroom. I felt this meant he went in to get undressed so he'd be ready to start as soon as I got there. It proved that my assumption had been correct, because he was lying on the bed, legs splayed, with the dildos and lube strategically placed between them.

"Ummm, let me guess what you want to do," I teased, eliciting a huge grin in response.

"You already know, so let's get started."

"I don't think you want to rush this, so let's start at the top and move on from there."

I got on the bed beside him and we immediately began to kiss. Reid was a more than willing participant as our tongues did a delicate dance with each other. From there I moved over to his ears and then down to his neck, as I tried to bring him as much pleasure as possible. I followed that up by working my way down to his chest so I could toy with his nipples, before running my lips and tongue down his abdomen as I moved toward his groin. I then bypassed that area completely, as I got up and repositioned myself between his legs.

Seeing I knew he'd enjoy some personal attention before I used the rubbery dildo on him, I rimmed him and gave him as much pleasure as I could with my mouth. Reid was squirming with delight and his moans told me he was enjoying what I was doing, so I continued until I felt it was time to move on. I then grabbed the lube, slathered it on my fingers, and used them to prepare his hole. Once I felt he was as loose as I could get him manually, I spread some lube on the dildo and placed the head at his opening, and then I slowly pushed it against the stubborn guardian.

Reid did his best to push out with his muscles to make the entry easier, but then I heard him gasp when the bulbous helmet slid inside and his sphincter snapped shut behind it. I gave him a few seconds to get used to the intruder, but then Reid urged me into action. "Keep goin'. I'm fine."

Since I had his assurance, I began to push on the dildo again and watched as it slowly disappeared inside him. I continued doing this until all but the base had been inserted, and then I gave him a few more seconds before I began the next stage. When he seemed ready, I began sliding the dildo in and out of his bowels without ever withdrawing it completely, which simulated the act of making love. Reid was a very active participant and thrust his hips toward me whenever the dildo was moving into him, and then pulled back as I partially extracted it again.

Reid was panting and sighing as we continued and our actions slipped into a nice, steady rhythm. I could tell he was enjoying this by the satisfied look on his face and the cooing sounds emanating from his vocal chords. After doing this for several minutes, I finally extracted the dildo and began lubing up the vibrating dildo next. Reid knew what was coming so he didn't complain, and I inserted this dildo into him and turned it on as I began working on his family jewels.

After running my tongue over the entire surface and nipping and tugging at the fleshy sac, I gently sucked on the watery nuggets contained within. After doing that for a brief time, I carefully took them into my mouth and began moving them around with my tongue. A couple of minutes later, I let his testicles fall from between my lips and zeroed in on his boyhood next.

I then kissed and licked my way up and around his penis, which was leaking profusely. I lapped up the liquid as it oozed down his shaft, and then I greedily sucked it directly from the source before I swallowed his pride and joy completely. His hips began to involuntarily bounce up and down as I raised and lowered my head on his throbbing dick. We kept up this action for several minutes, until he couldn't delay the inevitable any longer and his juices started to rise up the shaft. With the force of an erupting volcano, his semen shot into my mouth and flooded the opening to my throat. Since I was used to this, I began to swallow spurt after spurt, but finally I took a few moments to savor the taste of his honey-tinged nectar. As soon as he was completely drained, I reluctantly allowed his penis to fall from between my lips before my continued actions made this activity painful for him.

Reid wanted to return the favor and I agreed, since it had been several hours since I'd last ejaculated. He was as eager to do this as he'd been when he was on the receiving end, and several minutes later I was feeding him my offering of man cream, which he seemed to enjoy. After lapping it up, he released my penis and moved up to kiss me again.

"Thanks, I really liked that and now I know I'll be able to do it with you now, as soon as you're ready."

I knew he'd added that last part so I didn't get upset, because I'd told him several times that I'd let him know when I thought he was ready to do it. In his own way he was just reminding me of his desire, without pushing to strongly. I appreciated his unique approach.

"We're getting closer to that time every day. Just continue to be patient."

"I'll try," he replied as he wrapped his arms around my neck, placed his head on my chest, and cuddled with me. We stayed that way until I heard a knock on the apartment door.

Reid and I jumped out of bed and got dressed in a hurry, and then I went to see who was there. "I hope I'm not interfering with anything, but Pam said you were looking for me," Brad stated with a smirk.

I assumed Pam had also told him about Reid's lame explanation about why he went to the apartment with me, so I assumed Brad was doing this to get my goat. I guess it also meant I was going to be the brunt of his jokes and innuendos for the rest of the day, but I'd survive as long as he didn't upset Reid.

Chapter 40
Conspiracy

I was in for a mild surprise on the first Friday in May when Chad showed up at the front door before the kids got home from school. I must have looked at him strangely when I opened the door, because he immediately began to explain why he was there.

"I had a dentist appointment, so I had my mom drop me off here after I'd picked up what I needed at home."

"I see, but I didn't know you were coming over."

"Reid and I talked it over before school started this morning and then he called his mom to get permission. I thought one of them would have let you know."

"They didn't, but as long as his mom gave you guys permission. Come on in and we can chat until Reid gets home."

"I'd rather do something else," he countered, while licking his lips and giving me a mischievous grin.

"I'm sure you would, but I don't want to have to explain what we're doing to Evan and Ashley. Besides, I'll have to walk them over to their friend's house after they get here, because they'll be spending the weekend there."

"So me and Reid will have you all to ourselves?"

"Reid's parents will be here too,"

"But they won't be going into your apartment when we go there later. Right?"

"No, I'm sure they'll be enjoying the time alone with each other."

"Good, then we can enjoy our time alone with you. I think that's why Reid said this would be a good time for me to come over."

"So it was his idea?"

"Yeah, I guess he must have known that his brother and sister wouldn't be here and realized we could get it on with you if I stayed over."

"I see. I'll be interested in finding out what he has to say about this."

When the kids got home, I told Evan and Ashley to go get their things so I could take them to the Van Patten's house. As soon as they went up to their rooms, I turned to speak to Reid.

"It was nice of you to let me in on what you were planning," I said as sarcastically as I could.

"I didn't plan anything, well not until Chad and I talked at school earlier," he whined in explanation. "I called and asked Mom if it was ok, and I was gonna call you too, but my phone died. Here, see," he added as he shoved his phone at me. "I'm sorry, cuz I was gonna tell you."

"And it seems you have plans for me too? Is this some kind of a conspiracy to make sure I continue doing things with the two of you?" Reid glanced at Chad, whose eyes were open as wide as they would go.

"Maybe a little bit. It's just that we hoped to do like the last time Chad was here."

"That's pretty sneaky," I replied as I saw the other two coming down the stairs. "We'll talk about this more when I get back."

I then walked Evan and Ashley over to be with Eric and Rylee, and along the way they asked me to carry their bags, since they were struggling with the heavy objects. "I will, but you've got to learn to do this on your own. These bags wouldn't be so heavy if you didn't try to take everything you owned with you every time."

"It's not everything we own," Ashley objected.

"Ok, just a lot of it then," I countered as I stared at her.

"Maybe," she conceded, blushing.

"And that goes for you too," I told Evan.

"K. I won't take as much next time."

Amanda, Eric, and Rylee met us at the door when we arrived. "Come on in and join me for a cup of coffee," Amanda offered.

"Thank you for the invitation and I'd like to do that, but I have a situation to take care of at the house."

"Chad's staying with Reid again," Evan chimed in. I thought he had taken off with Eric, but obviously only the girls had left already.

"I have something to discuss with them, and the sooner we get it out of the way the better it will be," I clarified.

"I understand, so we'll do this the next time," Amanda relented gracefully.

"You can count on it."

I then took off and returned home, and Chad and Reid came out to greet me when they heard the door open. "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you," Reid apologized again, "but we weren't trying to do anything sneaky. If you're mad at us we can stay in my room tonight, but I hope we won't have to do that."

His comment made me feel badly now, since he had gone to the extreme of offering to leave me alone this evening. However, I didn't want to give in too quickly, because I didn't want him to know how effective his offer had been or that he could take me for granted.

"Let me think about it and I'll let you know later."

The expressions on their faces told me they hadn't expected this reply and were now nervous that I might take them up on their offer. I was positive they'd talked the situation over while I was gone and anticipated I'd tell them, "No, that won't be necessary," but I threw them a curve instead. It now appeared as if they were sorry they'd come up with this plan.

"Ummm... like when will you let us know?" Reid finally followed.

"Before it's time to shower, because you may have to do that upstairs too," I added, making them squirm even more.

"I hope you don't make us do that," Chad added, looking worried.

"I'll let you know later," I said as I turned and headed toward the kitchen.

I think they watched me for a few seconds, hoping I might turn around and say I was only joking, but when that didn't happen they went to the family to discuss the situation in private. I was standing in the kitchen trying to decide what I was going to do next when my phone rang. I answered it quickly.

"Quinn, I just wanted to call and let you know that I've given Reid permission to have Chad stay over tonight," Pam advised me. "I was going to call earlier, but things have been hectic at work all day."

"No problem -- they're already here."

"Oh, ok. So what do you think I should do about dinner tonight? Shall I order pizza or Chinese?"

"Why don't I fix something instead. I've had my fill of pizza for a while, so I'll whip up something here."

"But I don't want to inconvenience you, since I was the one who said Chad could stay over."

"Hey, I probably would have done the same thing even if he wasn't here. He's only one more mouth to feed."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I think I'll defrost some chicken breasts and we can have those. I'll make some home fries and fix a vegetable to go with it, along with the usual salad."

"That sounds good, as long as you don't think it's too much trouble."

"Not at all. I'll see you when you get home."

Now that I had my game plan, I started to get everything ready. Reid usually helped me when I cooked, but since he had Chad with him I doubted he'd come out to give me a hand tonight. Therefore, I started getting out what I needed so everything would be ready when Brad and Pam arrived home.

I was actually kind of surprised that I didn't see either boy before we called them out to dinner. I had suspect they were giving me time to cool down first, since they thought I was upset with them over Chad's visit. Actually I wasn't, but I felt it was a good time to make a point about not taking advantage of me. I didn't mind doing what I suspected they had planned, but I didn't want them to think they could just make these decisions without talking it over with me first. I believe that point had now been made.

While we were eating, I noticed that several times Brad glanced at the two boys and then he'd look over at me and smile. He was obviously under the impression that I was going to be involved in a threesome, and maybe I was, but not in the way he was thinking, because there would be no intercourse. I suspected he might be envious of my situation, because I'm sure he would've loved to be able to do that with his wife and another woman, so he might be jealous and ribbing me at the same time.

After dinner, I went to my apartment intending to work on the new story. I had just gotten started when Reid and Chad showed up. "Aren't you coming to the family room with the rest of us?" Reid wanted to know.

"No, I thought I'd do some work instead."

Both boys looked stunned as they tried to process this and figure out what I was up to. "Can we stay and watch your TV while you work?" Reid followed.

"Don't you think your parents will want to spend time with you?"

"I can ask if they'd mind if we stayed with you."

"Please," Chad added. "We're sorry we upset you earlier, but we want to be with you. Please don't send us away."

"Reid can talk to his mom and dad about this if he wants, but if they would rather you spent time with them, then that's what you'll have to do."

I wasn't sure how Brad and Pam were going to respond to the boys, but I'd abide by their decision. Reid hadn't been gone very long before he came racing back into my apartment. "They said it was ok and that they'd even enjoy having some quiet time alone."

I was convinced that Brad had a different picture in mind and thought he was doing me a favor by agreeing to this. "As long as they said it was ok, then you can do that while I continue working."

"Whatcha workin' on?" Chad followed.

"I'm working on a new story."

"It's a follow up to the book he wrote about my character, so Reed and his father will be in this one too," Reid added.

Chad looked impressed as he and Reid settled on my sofa and scanned through the channels for something to watch. I kept an eye on them for a few minutes, but once they found a program and started to watch it, I focused on my laptop again.

I was actually surprised that Reid didn't bug me to join them, but then again he was anxious for me to write this story too. After they'd watched a couple of shows, Chad turned toward me and asked a question.

"Are you gonna let us shower with you?" I saw Reid turn toward me too, as they awaited my answer.

"I suppose that would be alright," I replied.

I was intentionally being blasé about this to see how they'd respond. They merely smiled at each other and returned to watching the TV until I was ready to do that. When I finally announced that it was time to shower, they both jumped up and raced to my bedroom, but they also began to undress along the way. I, however, took a more leisurely approach that frustrated them even more, but they resisted saying anything this time. I suspected they were afraid they might upset me enough that I'd refuse to let them sleep with me afterward.

After I'd undressed too, I led them to my bathroom and Reid quickly began to adjust the water. Once it was set, we all stepped inside.

"This is better, cuz now we have more room to move around," Chad observed. "And we can do other things too, if we want."

"Don't get your hopes up," I warned.

We then started to wash Reid first, but that's all we did. I washed his front and was very businesslike as I went about my duties, and when I was done with Reid, Chad moved in front of me next. I made sure that neither boy tried anything, other than washing one another, and then it was their turn to wash me. I could tell Chad wanted to masturbate me when he washed my genitals, but he resisted the urge. However, he kept looking up to see my reaction to what he was doing.

After we dried off, we headed back to my bedroom and neither boy made an effort to put on their underwear. I was about to say something when Reid beat me to it. "Are you going to do anything with us tonight?"

"What did you have in mind?"

Their faces suddenly lit up because they had been convinced I was going to say 'no'. "Can we suck each other off?" Reid answered hopefully.

"And do you have any of those things we use in our butts, so we can get ready for fucking?" Chad blurted out next. I turned and looked at him briefly before I answered.

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

"I just want to see what it's like to have something up there. I was gonna use some stuff at home, but I didn't want my parents to find out what I was doin'."

Since I felt it might be safer for him to do this under my supervision, I gave him an answer. "I have some dildos that I've used with a boyfriend before."

Reid smiled at me, since he knew I was referring to him.

"Can we try using them then?"

"I suppose, if you want. But I'll be the one using it on you, just to make sure no one gets hurt."

"Yeah, that's ok."

I then went over to the nightstand, reached into the drawer, and extracted the smaller of the vibrating dildos. I also pulled out the lube, along with a box of condoms that I still had from when I was with my last partner. I held the items out so Chad could see everything

"Do you think you'll be able to handle this?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't look like a cock."

"No, it doesn't, but it will serve the purpose. If you still want to do this, then lay down on the bed and I'll get you ready."

Chad quickly leaped onto the bed and looked back at me. "What do I do now?"

"I'll tell you as we go along."

I opened the lube and added some to my fingers first, and then I moved between Chad's legs. "Lift your legs and pull your knees back to your chest. I'm going to loosen you up first, before I use the dildo on you."

After saying this, I slowly inserted my middle finger into his rectum while telling him to relax as I was doing it. Once it was completely inside him, I began sliding it back and forth. Seeing he didn't have any problems with that, I added my index finger into the mix next, because I felt that would be sufficient to prepare him for the dildo. I followed the same routine with those two digits that I had with the first, and once he was comfortable with that, I removed them and began to get the dildo ready.

"Why are you using a rubber on it?"

"Since this has been used before, it's safer to do it this way and more hygienic too."

I then rolled the condom over it, added plenty of lube, and placed it at his entrance. "Push out a little as it's going in, because it will make it easier for you."

He nodded and I began to add a little pressure. Gradually, it slid past his sphincter and began to slide into his bowels. Once it was completely inside him, I hesitated briefly to give him time to adapt. Seeing he didn't have any problems with it, I began to slide it back and forth.

"This isn't so bad, but I know it's not very big either."

"No, it isn't, but I have other larger ones, if you want to try those in the future, but just get used to this one first."

Since he seemed to be enjoying it, I thought I'd give him a little thrill. I reached down, flipped on the vibrator, and then watched to see how he was reacting.

"What the hell did you just do? You mean this thing has a motor too?"

"It's a vibrator that adds a little stimulation. Do you like it?"

"Yeah, it just surprised me at first cuz you didn't warn me, but it kinda feels good."

"Then let's see what you think about this." I then tilted the dildo at his prostate, which caused his head to shoot off the pillow.

"What the hell was that?" I then explained to him about the prostate and its function. "I liked when you did that, cuz it almost made me feel like I was gonna cum."

"And you would have too, if I'd continued, but I didn't want to waste your load. Now, I'll suck you off and do that at the same time."

I started on his scrotum and gradually worked my way up to his penis while I'd merely been easing the dildo in and out of his rectum. When I began sucking him off, I tilted the vibrator and aimed it at his prostate, using the dual stimulation to get him off. Just as Reid had always done, his hips began to buck up and down, as he basically began to fuck my face. It didn't take long before the vibrator sent him over the edge and he began filling my mouth with his sweet boy cream. When he finished ejaculating, I let him enjoy his orgasm while I got Reid ready next.

Since I didn't want Chad to suspect that I'd done this with Reid before, I performed the same steps on him. I also removed the first condom from the dildo and replaced it with a new one before I inserted it in him as well. Even though Chad had rolled his head on the pillow to watch what we were doing, he now got up on his knees and moved closer to me, so he could see it all in detail. Once again, I followed every step that I'd performed on him, and he was fascinated as he watched the dildo sliding in and out of his friend.

"I hope Reid likes it as much as I did. I can't wait to do it again, but I want to do it for real too."

"You don't have to rush into anything," I warned. "Just enjoy this for what it is."

After I'd sucked Reid off too, I gave him some time to enjoy his orgasm as well, and then both boys wanted to do it to me. Since Chad wanted to control the dildo, I told him the steps to follow, and then Reid sucked me off while Chad was sliding the condom covered dildo in and out of my ass. As soon as I'd ejaculated, Chad and Reid lay on either side of me and began kissing my face.

"Thanks, that was really fantastic," Chad cooed. "I'm glad you did that with us."

"Yeah, Uncle Quinn, that's was really great. Thanks for not being mad at us any more."

"I wasn't really mad, but I just wanted to make the point that you aren't in control and you can't just make these decisions on your own. From now on, I expect you to ask me first, before you do anything like this."

"Ok, we will," they both agreed.

I quickly put the things we'd used away, and then we merely pulled the covers over us after that, as the two boys cuddled against me and we fell asleep. Before I dozed off, though, I wondered how Brad was going to react when he saw us in the morning, seeing he had a vague idea about what we'd done. I just hoped he wouldn't get carried away with his antics.

When we joined Brad and Pam for breakfast, Brad kept looking over and smiling at me the entire time. When he thought no one else was looking, he'd wink and gave me a 'thumbs up' signal to let me know he approved. I'm sure I probably blushed in response, but I just shook my head and continued eating.

After we finished and I'd returned to my apartment, Chad asked a question. "Would you take us to the beach today? I brought my swimsuit with me this time, cuz I was hoping maybe you'd want to do this. I figured we could go to the Y if the weather was bad, but it looks like it's gonna be a beautiful day."

"Do you want to do that too, Reid?"

"Yeah, it sounds like fun."

"Ok, let me go see if your parents want to join us."

When I asked Brad and Pam they didn't seem eager to do it. "I have a ton of work to do around the house, so take the boys and have a good time," Pam told me.

"Yes, we'll allow you some time alone with your two boyfriends," Brad added.

"Chad is Reid's friend and he's the one who invited him to stay over, not me."

"That may be true, but Reid wouldn't have been so willing to give up being alone with you if this wasn't even better." Brad then raised and lowered his eyebrows as he began to laugh. "We're ok with it too, so enjoy yourself."

I didn't want to get into an argument or lengthy discussion about what I was doing with the boys, but it probably wouldn't have changed anything. Instead, I merely turned and went back to my apartment to let the boys know what we were doing.

After we'd changed into our swimsuits and donned a t-shirt, we each grabbed a large towel, hopped in the car, and took off for the beach. There were quite a few people there today, mostly guys and girls in their teens and early twenties, so there was plenty of eye-candy too. Therefore, after I'd spent some time in the surf with the boys, we all sprawled out on our towels and enjoyed the sight of the barely clad young men strolling about.

When Reid noticed what I was doing he nudged me, but I'd noticed that he and Chad had been doing the same thing. I merely shrugged and continued what I was doing, although I knew I'd hear more about it when Chad wasn't around.

We spent a couple of hours enjoying the ocean, sun, and scenery, but then the boys announced they were getting hungry. For that reason we put on shirts again, picked up our towels, and shook out the sand before returning to the car. After taking my wallet out of the glove compartment, where I'd locked it up while we were on the beach, I drove to a restaurant for lunch.

"Are we going back there after we finish eating?" Reid asked after we'd placed our orders.

"Do you want to?"

"Yeah, it was fun," Chad confirmed. "And there are a lot of good looking guys there too."

"Really? I hadn't noticed." Both boys rolled their eyes and groaned.

"Come on. We saw you staring at them too," Chad challenged.

"Oh, I may have glanced at a few of them."

"Like the whole time we were there," Reid added with a touch of sarcasm. I decided to allow the conversation to end at that point, because the server was delivering our meals.

As soon as we'd filled our bellies, I drove back to the beach and we resumed our earlier leisure activities. We stayed there for a few more hours before we began to worry about getting sunburned and agreed to return to the house. Pam was in the kitchen when we entered.

"Did you have a good time?"

"Yeah, it was great!" Reid answered.

"We would have stayed longer, but we were worried about gettin' burned," Chad added.

"Fresh air, the ocean, and a gorgeous day always add up to a good time," I followed, "but the effects of the sun can end up ruining everything."

"You forgot to include the great company," Pam teased, causing us all to grin.

"Ok, that too," I agreed.

The boys and I then went to my apartment to change. On the way there, we ran into Brad. "I see the beachcombers have returned. Did being out in public cramp your style?"

I couldn't believe he'd actually said that in front of the boys, and they were even more shocked than I was. "No, too much of a good thing can be bad too, so we decided to call it a day," I replied. After saying that, the two boys followed me inside and shut the door behind us.

"Does he know what we've been doin'?" Chad screeched once we were alone.

"I think he was just teasing and wanted to see how we'd react. Since he knows Reid and I are both gay, and he probably suspects you are too, he might be curious if we're doing anything. I'm sure he knows we all shower together, seeing Evan did it with us and probably mentioned it to him."

"Oh, right. So you don't think he'll get upset about it?" Chad asked next.

"No. If he was then he would have just told me. Relax. Nothing has changed."

Chad visibly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing my answer. "Good, cuz I don't want to stop doin' this."

And stop we didn't. That night we repeated everything we'd done the previous evening after we'd showered together. I could tell Chad was enjoying this as much as Reid, so I assumed he'd be a frequent visitor from now on. I didn't have a problem with this, because I enjoyed his company too, although he'd never replace Reid in my heart. I'd set aside a special corner for him, though, because he was becoming special to me as well.

Chapter 41
An Interesting May

The rest of May proved to be very busy, with the kids finishing up the school year and participating in the normal activities that generally occurred at that time of year. There were final school concerts, end of the year projects and reports, and preparation for final exams. They were also taking turns staying over with their friends, although they were now on a three week cycle. This meant Evan and Ashley would stay with Eric and Rylee one weekend, then all of them would be with us the next, and the following weekend everyone would stay at home. This was so each set of parents would be able to spend time alone with their family.

This wasn't just with the younger kids either, because Reid spent time at Chad's house too, although both boys complained it wasn't as much fun when they were there. They whined that they had to be a lot more careful about what they did and stated they'd rather spend the weekends with me. As flattering as that was, I knew Chad's parents would never go along with him always staying at our house. However, I set up a schedule that was also more advantageous for them.

Chad would stay with us whenever Evan and Ashley were with the Van Pattens, and then Reid would stay with him when Eric and Rylee were with us. We did this for two reasons, the first being it allowed them to have my full attention. The second was that there would be less of a chance that the younger kids would figure out what I was doing with the older pair. This worked out fairly well too, because Eric and Evan liked having my undivided attention as well, so overall everyone was happy.

The end of the month also presented us with a dual celebration. Not only would we be observing Memorial Day, but that weekend was also Evan's birthday. He was born on May 29th, which also happened to be the official holiday this year, and seeing school didn't end for another week and a half, Evan wanted to invite a few other boys from his class too. After thinking it over, Brad and Pam planned to have his party on the Saturday before. They felt if they did that, the parents of Evan's other friends would be able to plan things with their families for the remainder of the weekend and still be willing to allow their sons to attend.

Pam delivered the invitations discretely and advised the parents to inform their sons that they were not to talk about the party at school. She did this because we didn't want to create any hard feelings between Evan and the other kids, since we weren't inviting everyone. The parents all agreed to this stipulation, and every boy Evan invited said he would attend.

The weekend before the party Chad was staying with us again, while Evan and Ashley were with Eric and Rylee. I had a feeling the boys would have definite ideas about what they wanted us to do, but I didn't want to merely inquire about what they might have in mind. Instead, I waited to see how they broached the subject and whether they asked if we could do something, or if they just told me instead.

Shortly after I got back from walking Evan and Ashley over to the Van Patten's house, Chad arrived. He had a small duffle with him, as he usually did, but he surprised me with what he said. "Would you mind if I just put this stuff in your apartment, instead of taking it up to Reid's room?"

I was impressed that he didn't just assume he could do it. "Of course, since I'm under the impression that you'll want to sleep with me too."

"Yeah, of course, if you don't mind."

"That will be fine, since you didn't just take it for granted that's what was going to happen."

"No, we learned not to do that."

"Uncle Quinn, can we talk to you about something else?" Reid followed, and he seemed a bit nervous when he spoke.

"Sure. What's up?"

"Jeremy is kind of bummed out, and we've thought of something we could do to cheer him up. I don't think I told you this before, but back in October Jeremy's father was diagnosed with ALS. Do you know what that is?"

"Yes, it's Lou Gehrig's disease and it affects the muscles. I'm sorry to hear that Jeremy's dad has it."

"Yeah, and it's really rough on Jeremy too, cuz he thinks it means his dad is gonna die before he graduates from high school. Even though his dad is sick, he thought they might still be able to do most of the things they've always done, but maybe not as often or for as long. That seemed to be the case with most things, but his father just told him they wouldn't be going camping this year."

"I can understand why he wouldn't be able to do that."

"Do you think maybe you could take me, Chad, and the rest of our friends camping this summer instead? We think it will make Jeremy feel better and help keep him from thinking so much about what's gonna happen to his dad."

"What exactly do you mean? Are you talking about camping in tents, cabins, or in an RV?"

"They do it in tents. His dad would take them to this place near the mountains, next to a small lake. Jeremy said it's really nice there and they would go hiking, fishing, and they'd even swim in the lake."

"It sounds lovely, be we don't have the gear we'd need to do something like that."

"If you said you'd be willing to take us, then we'll talk to Jeremy and see if his dad will let us borrow the stuff we need. I'm not sure, but maybe the other guys have things we could use, cuz I'm pretty sure Paul has some of that stuff too. We didn't ask them yet, because we knew we should ask you first."

"And I'm glad you did. Ok, I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask if his father would be willing to loan us the gear we needed and see if there's enough for all of us. However, I have to warn you guys about something. If we do this, it means we won't be able to do the things we've been doing here on the weekends. You've told me you don't think any of your other friends are gay or bi, so nothing like that can happen, not even between you two."

"Yeah, we kinda knew that. They're cool about me, but they don't know about Chad yet, and we knew you wouldn't want them to know you were doin' stuff with us either."

"I'm glad you were smart enough to figure that out."

"If you're willing to take us to the beach again tomorrow, then we can call Jeremy and ask him to go with us. That way we can all talk to him about this."

"If his father isn't doing well, don't you think they'll want to spend what time they have together?"

"We'll only go for a couple of hours in the afternoon then, if he says he can go with us."

"Ok, I don't have a problem with that, but don't try to pressure him into doing this if he says 'no'. Let him stay home with his dad if he wants."

"Ok, we'll go call him now."

I thought it was nice that they were willing to do this because they thought it would help Jeremy. Not only would it allow him to do something he looked forward to, but it might also help to keep him from dwelling on his father's condition. Sure, Chad and Reid would probably enjoy doing this as well, but I was still impressed that they seemed to be thinking of their friend first.

They didn't come back for quite a while, so I wasn't sure if they had trouble getting a hold of Jeremy or if they might have taken the opportunity to do something with each other before coming back. However, as soon as they returned they filled me in on everything.

"Jeremy had to call his mom at work, seeing his dad was taking a nap. He said his dad gets tired out really easy now and takes a lot of naps, but his mom said it would be fine if he came with us to the beach. We also told him our idea about the camping trip, so he said he'd talk to us about it tomorrow."

"So what took you so long to find that out?"

"We had to wait for Jeremy to call us back. He said he had to call his mom at work, but she was busy at the time, so he had to wait for her to call him back first."

"Ah, ok. I was just curious if you'd stopped to do something else." It took a second before they caught on to what I meant.

"Nah, we want to wait and do that with you later."

When Brad and Pam got home, Pam asked a question after we'd greeted them. "Would any of you object to going to the Old Country Buffet for dinner tonight?"

"Nah, I'm good with that," Reid replied.

"Me too," Chad agreed.

"It's alright with me as well," I confirmed.

"Unless anyone needs time to get ready, let's go out and get in the Highlander, because I'm starving," Brad followed.

We did as he suggested and were soon at our destination. After going inside and paying the required fee, we got in line to fill our plates. Since there was no limit on how much we could put on our plates, other than us telling the boys not to take more than they could eat, Reid and Chad acted as if they hadn't eaten in quite a while. Brad was also taking a lot more than either Pam or me, but it only confirmed his claim that he was starving.

After we finished emptying our plates and the boys had gone back for seconds, we decided to have dessert before we left as well. Although the rest of us only chose one item from the dessert bar, the boys took two or three desserts each. We were amazed as we watched them consume everything, but I think we were mostly pleased that there had only been a single charge to cover each of them. We certainly wouldn't have wanted to pay for everything they ate a la carte.

When we returned home, Brad said something once we were all inside. "Since the boys will probably be spending the rest of the night with you, we'll say goodnight to all of you now."

"We can join you in the family room, if you're going to watch TV," I offered in return.

"You don't have to do that," Pam countered, "because if I'm alone with Brad I'll have a better chance of talking him into watching something I want to see for a change." I saw Brad make a face after he heard her comment.

"In that case, I suppose we could watch something on my TV instead," I agreed, much to Brad's dismay. I merely felt it was payback for all the times he'd teased me about the boys.

Once we got to my apartment, Reid and Chad quickly let me know that they had something else in mind. "Unless there's something special you want to watch on TV, we'd rather take our shower early so we can do other stuff instead," Reid explained.

"Yeah, that's a lot more fun than watchin' some stupid program, unless there's something you want to see," Chad added.

"Hmmm, I guess that's ok, but I have absolutely no idea what you boys want to do instead," I mused in jest.

"Yes, you do," Reid challenged, "so can we do that instead?"

"I suppose, if it will make you happy."

"It will!" they quickly agreed.

Even though we didn't do anything sexual in the shower, the boys certainly didn't let it stop them from spending quite a bit of time groping me and each other. They were both boned up and I was semi-hard by the time we finished washing each other, so we dried off quickly and headed to my bedroom. As soon as we got there, Chad suggested something else.

"You said before that you had other dildos, so can we use one that's a little bigger this time?"

"Are you sure you're ready to do that yet?"

"Yeah, cuz neither of us had any trouble doin' it with the other one."

"Maybe I'd better show it to you first, before you make up your mind," I offered as I went over to the nightstand and pulled out the larger of the two vibrating dildos. "You can see this one is quite a bit larger," I added, as I held it next to the one we'd used previously.

"Yeah, but I still want to try it. How about you, Reid?"

"Yeah, I want to try it too."

Since they were both in agreement, I relented, but with one caveat. "I'll use the other one on you first, to make sure you're loose, and then I'll use the larger one on you too."

Neither of them had a problem with doing it this way, but I had one final question. "So who's going first?"

They looked at each quickly before Reid answered. "It was Chad's idea, so he can go first if he wants."

"Yeah, I do. Thanks, bro."

Chad then hopped on the bed and got ready for me to do this with him. After I'd put a condom on the dildo and added lube to both it and Chad, I used the first dildo on him quickly, to make sure he was ready. Seeing he didn't have any problems with it, I got the next one ready and repeated the process.

It was easy to tell that this one was a little more difficult for him to accommodate, and even though I asked if he wanted to stop, he wasn't about to quit. His face contorted and he grunted as it entered him, but he was vehement that he wanted to keep going, so I did as he'd requested. Once it was all the way in his butt, I gave him a little longer to get used to it first, before I turned on the vibrator and began to work it back and forth.

"This one does that too?" he squawked when I flipped it on.

"Yes, but these are the only two dildos I've got that vibrate."

"I kinda like it, cuz it made me forget about the other stuff."

"What other stuff? Are you in pain?"

"No, nothin' like that. It just made me stop thinking that I had to take a crap, because it made me feel so full."

"So you're alright then?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

Since he said he was fine, I began to suck him off as I slid the dildo back and forth. After I aimed the dildo at this prostate and turned it to the next higher setting, I got a definite response from him.

"Ahhh," he moaned when this happened, but I knew it was merely his response to how the vibrations felt against his prostate.

It wasn't very long before he was ejaculating into my mouth, and once he was completely drained and satisfied, I moved over and did the same thing with Reid.

I wasn't certain at first, but I had a feeling Reid was occasionally tightening his butt muscles to make it appear to Chad that this wasn't exactly easy for him either. I was impressed that he'd thought about doing this to keep Chad in the dark about what we'd done before his first visit. It probably wouldn't have made a difference now, since Chad was doing it with us too, but it was good that Reid wasn't taking any chances.

Once I'd finished with Reid and had sucked him off, the boys wanted to suck me off as well. I was ok with that, and they even figured out a way to share this duty so no one felt slighted or left out. After I'd enjoyed my release too and had a chance to recover, Chad mentioned something else to me.

"I can't wait until we can do this for real, instead of using a dildo."

"Do you mean giving or receiving?" I wondered.

"Both! I'd love to do it to somebody else, but I'd also like to see what it's like with a real dick inside me."

"Since you two were able to handle this dildo as well, you could probably do it to each other if you wanted, since the dildo we just used is as big around as either of your penises."

"Yeah, I guess we could do that, but I'd like to have you do it to me too."

"You've seen my penis erect, and since it's thicker than either of those dildos, I don't think there's any way you'd be able to handle it yet."

"Yeah, you're probably right, but will you do it to me when I am ready?"

"Let's wait and see when that happens first."

"How will I know when I'm ready then?"

"I have other dildos that are closer to my size, so we'll see if you can handle those first."

"When can we start?" "That's still a ways off yet, so let's not worry about it right now."

"Ok, but just don't forget I want to do that too."

Now that each of us had gotten off, we went to the bathroom to clean up, brush our teeth, and use the toilet. I think Chad was surprised and pleased when he saw I'd added toothbrushes for both Reid and him in my holder. "Mine's the purple one, so you two can fight over who gets the blue and red ones," I stated.

"I want the red one," Reid quickly announced.

"That's ok, cuz I like blue," Chad agreed.

"That works out pretty well and we've all selected the color that begins with the letter closest to the first letter in our names. Reid – red, Chad – blue, and Quinn – purple."

"Damn, you're right. I didn't even realize that before you said it," Reid agreed amazed.

"I didn't either, but that's kind of neat," Chad confessed. "Did you plan it that way?"

"Not really, but I happened to think about it after I'd first used my toothbrush. Once I realized it, though, I thought I'd wait and see which one you two picked first, before I mentioned it."

It was just one of those oddball observations, and I was surprised the boys found it so interesting. Anyway, after we'd finished up in the bathroom, we returned to the bedroom and cuddled together until we fell asleep.

The next morning while we were having breakfast with Brad and Pam, I decided to tell them what the boys wanted to do this afternoon. "We won't be leaving until after lunch, but the boys want me to take them to the beach again. Would you like to join us?"

"It's tempting, but I've got a lot to do as I prepare for Evan's birthday party next weekend," Pam replied. "He's decided on what he wants to do, so I've got to take care of that, order his cake, and then we've got to run out and buy his presents. I'm just glad Amanda agreed that neither set of kids would be staying over next weekend."

"Yes, she had mentioned it to me and said they were planning some family time, since Bob promised not to go anywhere over the weekend."

"Then I hope he's not upset that Amanda and the kids are going to join us for a couple of hours on Saturday," Pam said, looking concerned. "I think I'll give her a call and make sure."

"That might be a good idea."

After we finished eating, the boys wanted me to go back to the apartment so we could talk. I wasn't sure what this was about, but I decided to go with them anyway. As it turned out, they only wanted to talk about the possible camping trip.

"If we can do this, when do you think we could go?" Chad wanted to know.

"School ends on June 6th, so I suggest we ask Jeremy when his family usually did it and when the best time would be to go."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Over the next couple of hours they discussed various questions they wanted to ask Jeremy after we'd picked him up. We kept talking about this until Pam called us for lunch, and then we went out to eat with her and Brad.

"So did you get everything done yet?" I asked.

"Everything but buying Evan's birthday gifts," she replied. "We're going to do that after we finish eating."

"We'll be leaving for the beach at that time too, so I'll catch up with you again later."

As soon as we left the table, the boys and I went back to the apartment to change, but I also had them call Jeremy and let him know we were on the way. I had them do this so he'd be ready and waiting when we got there.

As soon as I pulled into the driveway, he came out of his house dressed as I'd had the boys suggest. As he climbed into the backseat with Chad, he looked at me and spoke.

"Thanks for inviting me today, and for offering to take me camping too."

"We've got a lot to discuss about that, so I hope you don't mind answering a bunch of questions."

"Not at all, if it means I'll get to do this."

Once we got to the beach, we spread our towels out on the sand first, and then we took a quick dip before we returned and laid on our towels to talk. "So what is it you want to know?" Jeremy asked.

"First of all, I'm worried about being able to accommodate six people. Is the tent large enough for all of us?"

"Actually, we have two tents. The first one my family uses when we go camping and it's big enough for all of us, but it would be kinda cramped. There's also a smaller tent that me and my dad used when we went alone, so we can take both tents and take turns seeing who uses the smaller one."

"I suppose we could work something out then. So what do you usually do about food?"

"We take what we need with us, and we've got four large water carriers, a camp stove, cooking utensils, and lanterns we can use. There's also a grocery store that's not very far away for whenever we have to get more perishables, but we don't buy too much there, cuz it's kinda expensive."

"Then we'll try to plan carefully so we don't have to do that. I'll probably have to rent an SUV to do this, because Brad will need his for the family when the other kids stay over."

"I'm pretty sure my dad will let you use his pickup. He can't drive now because of the ALS, so it's just sittin' around cuz my mom hates drivin' it. It has a crew cab, so we can fit three people in front and three in back, but it also has a cap over the bed to keep people from stealin' shit when we're not around or to keep everything from gettin' wet when it rains."

"Sounds like a good deal then, but I feel like I'm taking advantage of your dad."

"Don't worry about it. I already mentioned to him that we might do this, so he's just happy that I'm not gonna lose out this year. He was feelin' bad cuz he wouldn't be able to take me cuz of his illness."

"We'll take care of that then. So is this place fairly private?"

"Yeah, most of the time. Sometimes it gets a little crowded around the Fourth of July and Labor Day, but there's generally not that many people around the rest of the time. We've been there before when we didn't see anyone else while we were there."

"That sounds like a good time to go then. What time of year was that?"

"Early June, shortly after we got out of school for the summer."

"Interesting. So do you think it might be like that, say the week after school ends or the week after that?"

"Yeah, just not the last week of June. That's when it starts gettin' crowded."

"Thanks, that gives me a lot to think about and plenty of time to make plans."

"So we're gonna do this then?" Reid demanded.

"I don't see why not, since Jeremy's family has most of the things we'll need and they're willing to let us use them. We'll just have to talk to Paul and Simon about this and make sure we have enough sleeping bags to go around."

"Oh, we will, cuz Paul's family goes campin' too. Remember, we used his sleeping bags when we stayed over there."

"Oh, that's right."

"So he might have a tent we could use too, instead of usin' our smaller tent," Jeremy pointed out. "That way three of us could stay in each tent."

As soon as he said that, Reid and Chad's eyes lit up. I think they felt if we were alone in one tent then we could still suck each other off each night, but I wasn't so sure about that. Anyway, I'd discuss it with them if they mentioned it later.

Seeing those things had been settled, we decided to take another plunge in the surf to cool off a bit. We were all quite hot because the sun had been beating down on us while we'd been sitting around chatting, so we felt a quick dip in the ocean would take care of the problem.

We ended up staying there for a couple more hours after we got out of the water, alternating between the towels and the ocean. We also spent some of the time checking out the others there too, with some of us looking at the guys, while Jeremy seemed to be checking out the girls in their skimpy bikinis.

When we decided to call it quits, I told the boys to shake the sand out of everything first, because I didn't want it to end up in the car. Then, we drove Jeremy home.

"Thanks for taking me with you," Jeremy said as he got out of the car.

"You're welcome, and we'll be in touch about the camping trip. I just have a few things to iron out in my mind first."

"K, and I hope we can do it, cuz it will be fun."

The other two agreed with his statement, so we said a final goodbye and I drove them back to the house. We had a lot of details to work out before this could happen, but I had a pretty good feeling after today. I planned on having Reid invite all of the boys over to our place next Friday after school, and then we'd discuss the idea briefly and get their input. Who knows, maybe Paul and Simon wouldn't be interested in doing this, so it would definitely clear up those issues.

If they did want to go, it would give me a chance to find out if Paul and Simon were capable swimmers, since I already knew about Chad and Jeremy. I could also see what items Paul might offer to loan us, if we needed something more than what Jeremy's family was providing.

Chapter 42
Evan's Big Weekend

During the week, I got Brad and Pam alone to talk about our idea of a camping trip. "Reid and Chad have asked me to take them and their friends camping once school is out. They got the idea because Jeremy was feeling down due to his father's recent illness – he's been diagnosed with ALS – and because they wouldn't be able to go camping this year. When we mentioned the idea to Jeremy, he even offered to loan us most of their gear we'd need so we could do this, but I wanted to clear it with you first, before we made any plans. I was thinking we could leave on June 17 and return on June 24, so it would be kind of like a birthday party for Reid with his friends."

"You know, that's not a bad idea," Brad agreed. "But do you think you'll be able to put up with five teenagers for that long?"

"I guess I'll find out, but Jeremy says it's a nice place and there's plenty to do, so they shouldn't get bored."

"Is it going to mess up the other things you do with the boys?" Brad followed with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes.

"I've told you before that I only do those things with Reid, so no."

"But what about Evan and Ashley?" Pam wanted to know.

"I don't do those types of things with them either," I said before thinking, and then I laughed nervously. When I looked up, Pam was blushing.

"That's not what I meant, but they'll be out of school too, and I thought you'd be watching them."

"I'll ask Amanda if she'd mind watching them that week. I'll tell her I'll do the same for her later, if she wants a week off."

"I guess if she agrees to it, that would work too. And since Reid told me he doesn't want to have a traditional party this year, this will also allow him to celebrate with his friends. We can have his cake and ice cream on his birthday, after we finish dinner."

"Yes, this will work out nicely," Brad confirmed.

"Ok, then I'll meet with all of Reid's friends and set everything up."

The entire gang showed up at the house on Friday, shortly after the kids got home from school. Chad's mother had offered to pick up Jeremy, Paul, and Simon and drop them off at our place, to save me the trouble.

As soon as they saw the other boys, Evan and Ashley wanted to know why they were there, so I merely told them we had some things to discuss. Ashley seemed ok with this, possibly thinking it was 'guy stuff', but Evan wanted to stay. I ended up having to bribe him by promising that if he left us alone then I'd let him sleep with me later. It worked, because I didn't see him again until we ate dinner.

"Ok, there are some things I need to clear up before we can make this happen," I began. We were all sitting around the dining room table, sipping drinks, as we began our discussion. "First of all, are you all good swimmers?"

They rapidly agreed they were, so I followed up with several other questions, such as if they had any medical conditions, allergies, or took any medications. Once that was cleared up, I brought up the date I'd worked out.

"I was thinking we would do this from June 17th to the 24th. Will that be a problem for any of you?" No one mentioned any conflicts, but they agreed to check with their parents and then let me know.

"Jeremy has two tents we can use, a large one and a small one."

"We have one you can use too," Paul offered, "so we won't need his small tent,"

"How many sleeping bags do we have?"

"We've got extras you can use too, if anyone needs one," Paul offered again.

"Then I guess we're all set and we'll have everything we need with the items Jeremy and Paul are letting us use. Now, we'll just have to plan what types of meals you'd be ok with."

Paul and Jeremy then made suggestions about things they had eaten when they went camping with their families. I jotted down a bunch of ideas after the boys agreed they would be good with the various suggestions. We had a very productive meeting and I think we'd ironed out all of the details by the time Brad and Pam arrived home. Now that they were there, I asked Brad if I could borrow the Highlander to take the other boys home.

"Of course, just don't let any of them drive."

The boys all looked at him oddly for a few seconds, since they were just 13 or 14, and then they realized Brad was making a joke and began to laugh. Once that was out of the way, I led them outside, had them get in the Highlander, and then I dropped each one off at his house. Everyone thanked me and said he was looking forward to this before he got out of the SUV. I merely told them it was my pleasure, as long as no one caused any problems during the outing. They all assured me that would never happen, so I was looking forward to doing this too.

"Thanks, Uncle Quinn. My friends all thought you're awesome before, but this makes them think that even more."

"And I chose those particular dates so it would be like a birthday present for you and a chance for you to celebrate with your friends."

"I didn't think about that, but thanks. This will be a lot better than having a silly party, like Ashley and Evan."

"I'm glad you agree."

I also warned Reid that I had to bribe Evan so he didn't bother us while we were discussing the camping trip. Reid didn't react too badly knowing Evan would be sleeping with us later, as long as I promised we could go out to the other room and do something once Evan was asleep.

After we finished dinner, Brad, Pam, and I went with the kids to the family room for a while. We found a movie that everyone was fine with, although not overly enthusiastic about watching. When it ended, Evan was in a hurry to shower and sleep with me, and announced what he was going to do to his parents.

"I'm gonna sleep with Uncle Quinn tonight."

He then raced upstairs to get his pajamas, and after he'd bolted out of the room, Brad looked at me quizzically. "Did you agreed to this?"

"I did, so he would leave the boys and me alone while we were discussing the camping trip earlier. I didn't want him to find out about it, because this was planned for Reid and his friends."

"Ah, now I understand."

"And he can think of it as a birthday present too, since I don't usually let him do this."

"Not bad, and it doesn't cost you anything."

"Oh, it's not like that. I bought him a gift too, so I wasn't trying to get out of getting him something."

"No wonder he idolizes you – just like his big brother."

"Not in the same way, though, but I'm glad he feels close to me as well."

At that moment, Evan came charging into the room. "Come on, Uncle Quinn. Let's go take our shower."

Brad chuckled as Evan grabbed my hand and pulled on it, so Reid and I got up and followed him to my apartment. Once we were inside, we began to undress and then we headed to the bathroom to do what he wanted.

After we finished washing each other and dried off, we headed to the bedroom. Evan got in on one side of me and Reid on the other, and as we were getting comfortable, Evan spoke up. "I don't got nobody to rub my wiener."

"Don't look at me, because I told you I wasn't going to do it for you again." I thought Evan was giving me a dirty look, but he was actually staring past me, at his brother.

"Ok, but you're not doing it to me," Reid relented.

Evan was thrilled and leaped over me so Reid could do it for him. Unfortunately, he landed on my arm and that caused him to fall backward, landing on my stomach. I'm not sure how he did it, but somehow he still managed to pull down his pajamas bottoms before he slid off me. Then, as his butt hit the mattress he looked up at Reid and waited for him to begin.

I was surprised that Reid had agreed to do this, since he'd been hesitant in the past, but he masturbated his brother until Evan's body shuddered when he experienced a dry orgasm. After allowing Evan a few seconds to revel in the wonderful feelings, he pulled up his pajama bottoms and carefully crawled over me this time. Once he was back in position, both boys cuddled against me.

It wasn't very long before I heard the sound of Evan's gentle breathing and realized he'd already received his visit from the sandman. While we waited to make sure he wasn't going to wake up, I rolled toward Reid and whispered. "I was surprised you did that for him."

"Yeah, I know, but I realized what it would be like if you didn't agree to go with me to do it after he fell asleep. I also thought it would make him go to sleep faster, especially if he was relaxed and satisfied."

"You're probably right about that, but we'll wait a couple more minutes before we move into the living room."

When I finally felt it was safe, we got out of bed and Reid and I went into the other room so I could take care of his needs. I rimmed him and sucked him off again, just as I'd done the last time Evan slept with us, and then he did the same to me. Once we were both satisfied, we returned to the bedroom, slid back into place, and quickly fell asleep.

Evan was very excited when he woke up in the morning, since he knew we'd be having his party at noon. He was unable to sit still while he was eating breakfast, and then he kept asking how long it would be before the others started showing up. He did that until his father left to pick up the pizzas at 11:45, and then he stood at the window and watched for everyone to arrive.

Evan was excited when he saw Amanda, Eric, and Rylee coming down the sidewalk, and he opened the front door before they even had a chance to ring the doorbell. Once they came inside, Rylee immediately went off to find Ashley, and Evan and Eric began to chat, so Amanda and I went to have a cup of coffee with Pam. Brad arrived just before Evan's four classmates got to the house, and now that everyone was there, we got things started.

Pam had made a potato salad and a macaroni salad to go along with the pizza again, and we helped each of the kids take what they wanted. After they finished those items, Pam and I brought out the cake and ice cream, and then we all sang Happy Birthday to Evan. As soon as he made a wish and blew out the candles, Pam helped him cut the cake and serve it, while I dished out the ice cream. After Evan finished eating his share, we let him open his gifts while the rest of us finished consuming our portions.

He received a lot of nice presents and thanked everyone for the gifts they'd given him, and then he announced what we were doing next. "Mommy and Daddy are gonna take us to see the pirate movie now."

"Yes, we're taking you to the cinema complex to see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales," Pam elaborated.

The other boys began to cheer, so they were obviously excited about doing this too. I'd already mentioned what we were going to do to Amanda, and she said she was interested in going this time, as were Reid and I, so we all got ready to leave. Since there were so many this time, Brad and Pam took Evan and his friends with them, while Amanda and the two girls rode with Reid and me.

When we got to the theater, Brad sat on one side of the boys and Reid and I sat on the other. Since we were taking up most of the row, Pam, Amanda, and the girls sat in the seats behind us. Shortly after we'd all gotten comfortable, the previews began, followed by the main feature.

This time Captain Jack Sparrow was searching for Poseidon's trident, and the movie was just as exciting as the others, as well as following the same general format. All of the kids apparently enjoyed it, because they were cheering loudly at various times, and it made Evan a hero for taking them to see it.

When we got home, we still had some time left before the parents of Evan's friends were due to pick them up, so I took them out to the backyard for a quick kickball game. Rylee and Ashley decided to play too, but Reid opted to umpire and help me keep the game under control. We had time to play a couple of innings before the first of the parents arrived, and then we had to stop. Everyone told me they'd had fun, and then they thanked Evan for inviting them before going home with their mom or dad.

Amanda and her kids were the last to leave, and once they'd departed Evan came up to me. "Thank you for helping us play kickball. That was fun."

"I was happy to do it for you and I'm glad you had a good time today."

"Yeah, and all my friends did too. Can I sleep with you again tonight, after we shower?"

"I let you do it last night because of your birthday," and then I hesitated. When I saw he was getting antsy, I made up my mind and answered him. "I suppose I could let you do it again tonight for the same reason."

"Yay! Thank you, Uncle Quinn."

I decided to warn Reid before we showered, so it didn't come as a complete surprise. He was slightly annoyed that Evan was cutting into his time again, but he agreed that as long as I did something with him in the other room, it was ok.

"He might also ask you to rub his 'wiener'."

"I guess I could do that for him too, but it's just another reason I don't like having him sleep with us. What does he do when he's alone in his bedroom?"

"He probably does it to himself, like you did before I came here to live. Would you want to go back to doing that again?"

"No way!"

"And obviously neither does he. I just don't want him to go looking for someone else to help him with that, other than Eric."

"Yeah, I understand, so I guess I'll do it for him again."

Since that had been settled, we went out to see if dinner was ready. Pam was still working on it when we got there, so Reid and I offered to help.

"You look exhausted," I said as I listened to Pam tell me what I could do for her.

"I am a little tired. For some reason these parties seem to take a lot out of me."

"Then I'll help as much as I can now, and then Reid and I will clean up and take care of things after we eat, so you can rest."

"No, you don't have to do that."

"Mom, we want to," Reid added.

"Ok, and I appreciate it. Thank you."

I continued to watch Pam while we were eating and hoped she wasn't coming down with something. I'm not sure if Brad noticed her condition, but if he did he didn't let on, so I'll keep an eye on her during the week too.

After dinner, Evan was busy checking out some of the presents he'd received earlier, while Reid and I took care of the leftovers, cleaned up the kitchen, and loaded the dishwasher. When we were done, we went to see what the others were doing.

We found Brad, Pam, and Ashley in the family room. Brad and Pam were on the sofa, and she was lying down with her head on Brad's lap, while Ashley was sitting in a chair. The lights in the room had been dimmed, I assumed for Pam's sake, so Reid and I decided to go to my apartment instead.

After I turned on the TV, I selected the classical music channel and Reid and I sat on the sofa. He leaned against me, so I placed my arm around his shoulder as we listened to some of my favorite pieces, but we'd occasionally chat too. We were still doing that when Evan burst into the room.

"I've been lookin' for you," he announced, appearing exasperated.

"Well, you found us."

"Why didn't you tell me you was comin' here?"

"We only did it so your mom could rest."

"So are we gonna shower?"

"Soon. We're just listening to music for now."

"What kinda music is that?" he asked, making a face.

"The kind I like. It's called classical music, and if you don't want to listen to it, then you can go do something else and come back in a little while."

"Nah, I'll stay here." He was still making a face, but the music didn't seem to be bothering him too badly, or he would have left.

We listened to the music for about an hour, while also chatting about different things from time to time. At one point Evan wanted to talk about the movie we'd seen earlier, and then Reid asked if we were going to do anything special over summer vacation, since it was nearly that time of year. I knew he wasn't referring to the camping trip, since we were trying to keep that from Evan for as long as possible, so I gave him a general answer.

"I'm not exactly sure what we'll be doing, but I'll try to plan a special activity for each week. I'm going to talk to Aunt Amanda about this and we'll try to work something out for all you kids, but you'll have to wait and see what we come up with."

"I just hope it's fun."

"Me too," Evan chimed in.

When I decided it was time to shower, I told the boys to get ready. Even though they were anxious to do this, it was becoming old hat for them so they didn't rush to take their clothes off this time. We also took a leisurely stroll to the bathroom, before lovingly washing each other.

Evan was getting in the habit of sprouting wood every time I washed his genitals, and then he would look up at me and grin. I knew he was hoping I'd 'rub his wiener' for him, and on occasion I'd give it a few rapid strokes. He would always whine when I stopped, but I didn't want to get in the habit of masturbating him every time we showered.

After we finished and dried off, we went to the bedroom and hopped into bed. Evan immediately looked over at Reid again, but he seemed hesitant to say anything this time. After quite a few seconds had passed, Reid noticed him and spoke. "Did you want somethin'?"

"Yeah, will you do like last night?"

Even though I'd warned Reid this might happen, he made it appear as if he had to think about it first, before he gave him an answer. "I'm not gonna do this with you every time we both sleep with Uncle Quinn, but I'll do it for you tonight."

I could tell Evan was about to leap over me again, but I stopped him before that happened. "Why don't you just get out of bed and walk around to the other side. I'm not a hurdle and I don't want another accident to happen like last night."

Evan merely flashed me a toothy grin before he spoke. "K, I can do that."

On his way around to the other side he began to lower his pajama bottoms, but he held onto them as he squeezed in next to Reid. "I'm glad you're gonna do this for me again, but I wish you'd let me do it to you too."

"Seeing this might be the last time we do it for quite a while, I'll let you do it to me too, but only for a minute."

"Yeah, I like doing it to you too. Thank you."

I rolled over on my side and watched as Reid rubbed Evan's genitals first, because he'd gone soft after we got out of the shower. Once Evan had boned up again, Reid began to stroke his penis and I had to chuckle at the noises Evan was making. He was oohing and ahhing in response to Reid's manipulations, but then he grew quiet when his body started to shiver as his dry orgasm overtook him.

Reid and I watched as Evan enjoyed the lingering sensations still coursing through his slender frame, but once he came out of his slightly catatonic state, he was more than ready to do it to Reid.

Reid had already lowered his boxer briefs, so Evan grabbed a hold of Reid's penis and began rubbing it between his palms, like he was rolling a slab of modeling clay for a project. Once Reid was hard, Evan wrapped his little hand around Reid's shaft and began to stroke it up and down. Reid actually let him do this for a couple of minutes before he told him to stop, but it was enough to satisfy Evan.

"Thanks for lettin' me do that, cuz it was fun. And thanks for doin' it to me too."

"You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I did too."

That comment brought a smile to Evan's face as he pulled up his pajama bottoms, crawled out of bed, and walked around to the other side of the bed again. Once he was nestled against my side, I pulled the covers over us and turned out the light.

It didn't take Evan very long to fall asleep again, probably because he was so content, but Reid and I waited until he was deep in slumber before getting out of bed.

"Grab the dildo this time," Reid suggested in a whisper, and I merely nodded to let him know I'd do that.

This time after we'd kissed and I'd rimmed him, I used the dildo on him next. Since we hadn't done this in a while, it was nearly as difficult for him as the first time we'd used this particular dildo. He wasn't about to give up, though, or let me know he was having problems, since he felt it might delay when I'd be the one doing it to him for real. Instead, he gutted it out and maintained a stoic mask, hoping to keep me in the dark about what was really happening. I didn't say anything, but I didn't rush through this either, and gradually I was able to do what he wanted.

After I'd done that to him for a while, sliding the dildo in and out of his rectum, I began to suck him off while still continuing the action with the dildo. He was fairly passive at first, since I felt he was spending a great deal of effort trying to hide the fact that this wasn't very easy on him. Then, without warning, he quickly transformed into a wild man. It was as if someone had flipped a switch, because his hips began to buck up and down on the carpet, as he rammed his penis into my throat. I concluded the pleasurable feelings from his impending orgasm were beginning to overwhelm him and had replaced the discomfort he'd felt previously.

He was now machine gunning his dick in and out of my mouth in an effort to hasten his anticipated moment of euphoria. After doing this for another minute, he suddenly arched his back, thrust his penis into my mouth one final time, and then he began to paint my tonsils with his semen. He held still as the first couple of strands flooded my mouth, and then he started thrusting again, as he attempted to coax the remainder of the fluids from his fleshy spigot. As soon as he was completely drained, his body collapsed on the carpet, totally spent.

While he was recuperating from his powerful release, I studied his angelic face and noted the very peaceful and contented expression that was now etched there. His eyes were closed and his face seemed to glow, as he lingered in the wonderful feelings that had just overtaken his body. As he slowly recovered, he opened his eyes and smiled.

"Thanks. I'm glad I told you to bring the dildo with you this time."

"Yes, it's been a while since we've used it, because we've been using the smaller ones while Chad was here. I could tell it was giving you some problems this time, even though you were trying to hide that fact from me."

"Nuht uh! Well, maybe a little, but I was still able to do it."

"Yes, you were, but that doesn't mean it didn't take some effort on your part."

"Ok, maybe it did, but I'm still gonna be ready to do it with you."

Now that this had been cleared up, he rimmed and sucked me off next, but he merely used his fingers on my backside as he probed for my prostate. Once I'd filled him with my man cream, we went to the bathroom and rinsed our mouths, because we didn't want Evan to detect anything in the morning and then start asking questions.

We were also able to get back into bed without waking Evan, and then Reid draped his arm over my chest and put his head on my chest until we both fell asleep.

Chapter 43
Memorial Day Weekend

While we were eating breakfast on Sunday morning, Brad made a comment. "Since this is the Memorial Day weekend, we thought you kids might like to do something different. How would you like to spend the day at the beach?"

"Yeah!" Evan and Ashley shouted. Reid was less enthusiastic about this, since we'd done it a couple of times already, but he was still willing to go.

"Then make sure you eat enough so you're full, because we won't be eating again until we leave there," Brad advised them.

"Would you mind taking us to Venice beach today?" I asked. "I've heard a lot about that place and always wanted to see it."

"It will probably be crowded, seeing it's a holiday, but then again most of the beaches will probably be packed, so what the heck. I'll take us there, if you want."

"As long as you don't mind. I've heard it's a place everyone should visit at least once."

As soon as we finished eating, the kids went to put on their swimsuits, a t-shirt, and flip flops, but they were also told to grab a towel.

"And don't take anything you don't want to risk losing. I suspect there will be a few thieves there as well, trying to pick up a few things they can sell quickly," Brad warned. "I'll take my wallet along so we can stop and eat afterward, but I'll lock it in the SUV while we're there."

"I'll do the same, in case I want to splurge on something. I'll also take my phone."

"Good idea, and take a bunch of one dollar bills with you too, in case you want to tip any of the street performers. And be careful if you decide to buy anything, because I've heard some of the merchants and street vendors are trying to pawn off cheap crap made in China. You'll also need to negotiate the price with them, whenever you decide to purchase something."

"Ok, that's good to know and I'll keep it in mind."

The rest of us changed quickly too, and when we all met up again we loaded into the Highlander and took off. Luckily, it was a gorgeous day, perfect for spending the afternoon on the sand and in the water.

When we got to Venice, Brad got a really lucky break. As he was driving around looking for a place to park, he saw a guy walking and decided to follow him. The man eventually jumped into a vehicle and took off, so Brad grabbed the parking space before anyone else could get it.

"For once I got a break when trying to find a place to park," he sighed as he was pulling into the open spot. "This means we won't have to walk very far to get to the boardwalk."

It was the first place he took us so we could get it out of the way and spend more time on the beach. The boardwalk, which is actually named the Venice Ocean Front Walk, is lined with all types of shops on one side. On the other side are street performers, artists, and street vendors, many of whom are homeless. They show up there to sell their wares or hoping to earn tips for whatever skill they might have. During our walk we saw mimes, dancers, musicians, jugglers, a guy on stilts, and another intentionally walking on broken glass.

The kids enjoyed many of the performances, and Brad or I tipped the ones we watched the longest, but most were only temporary curiosities and we'd move on.

"I don't know if any of the rest of you picked up on this, but there seems to be people from all over walking about," I pointed out. "From the various accents I've heard, I take it some of them are from different states, while others are obviously from other countries. This place seems to be ideal for those who just like to 'people watch', because there's definitely a wide variety represented in this one location."

"What's that beating sound I've been hearing since we've been here?" Reid asked next.

"Oh, that's the Venice Beach Drum Circle," Brad informed him. "They perform on the weekend from noon until sunset."

"I guess if you're used to hearing it a lot you probably don't even notice it any more, but it was driving me nuts wondering what it was," Reid responded.

"Yes, but it was only a short drive, and now you know what's causing it," I added, as I waited to see his reaction.

It took him a while to figure out the joke, and then he playfully punched me in the arm. "You think you're funny, don't ya."

"I thought it was pretty good." I was waiting for another comeback, but Reid's attention was drawn away from me when he spotted something more interesting.

"Hey, is this what they call Muscle Beach?" he asked as we started to pass a unique area that was enclosed by a chain link fence. There were a number of well developed young men there working on the different types of weight benches, and this was apparently what had caught his eye. Some of them were busy flexing their muscles and putting on quite a show for passersby. Not only were they showing off their impressive physiques, but they were also using the weights and demonstrating how they got to be so buff.

Once we left there, we saw a Skate Park where people on inline skates and skateboards were showing off, and there were also a large number of people cruising around on bicycles. We even saw there was a doctor on duty, and he had his own little cubicle to use in case of emergencies. Eventually, we saw everything we wanted to see and Brad decided it was time to move on.

"Ok, let's head down to the beach now. We came here to spend time enjoying the sandy shoreline and the ocean, so let's get started."

The beach was fairly crowded, as we'd expected, but we moved along until we found a spot to spread out our towels. We then went to frolic in the waves as they crashed onto the shore, and Pam, Brad, and I each took responsibility for one of the kids. I noticed there were also lifeguards at various locations, but we felt it would be best to keep an eye on the kids ourselves.

After we'd spent an hour playing in the water, we thought it was time to take a break and relax for a bit. While Brad, Pam, Reid, and I were laid out on our towels, Evan and Ashley decided to play in the sand. I guess they were going to build a sand castle, or something like that.

"Before we leave, I want to take you to see the canals," Brad told me.

"Canals? I think you're slightly confused. This is Venice, California, not Venice, Italy."

"No, I'm not confused. This location was originally marshland that was developed by the owner into what he saw as the Venice of America. The canals were man-made in 1905 and immediately attracted a number of tourists and homeowners to this area. The latter group used the waterway to get around, while the tourists came here to take a ride in a gondola. After the automobile was invented and become a popular mode of transportation, the canals weren't used as much and eventually fell into disrepair. They were saved in the 1980s, but now there's only 1.5 miles [2½ km] of canals left, compared to the original 16 mile [26 km] network. The area became very popular and grew rapidly, and now it contains a vast number of multi-million dollar homes."

"And we're still allowed to go there?"

"Of course. In fact, there's a walkway that was built beside the canals just for that purpose."

"Then I guess we'd better check it out," I added before someone else took over the conversation.

"Hey, come look what me and Ashley did!" Evan shouted as he came running toward us.

We weren't sure what he was talking about, but we went to see it anyway. When we got there, we were amazed by what we found, because they had sculpted an octopus in the sand. They'd shaped a big mound of sand into the head and then added two eyes and a circular mouth. But they also included all eight of its tentacles, with four radiating out in front of it, and four more extending from behind.

"This is absolutely incredible," Pam gushed when she saw it.

"Yes, it's very creative and you did an excellent job," Brad added.

"And we made the testicles too," Evan added, and we quickly noticed that he mixed up a couple of terms.

"I think you mean tentacles, and I'm impressed that you knew an octopus has eight of them," I stated, while Brad, Pam, and Reid were trying to suppress giggles.

"Yeah, I learned that in school," Ashley confirmed.

"Man, even I like it," Reid announced. "You guys did a great job!" That was indeed high praise from him.

"Thanks," they both said, visibly elated that we'd made such a big deal about it.

"I wish we could take it home with us," Evan said as he looked at it longingly.

"I'll tell you what," I offered. "Since we can't take it home, if your father will lend me the key to the Highlander, I'll run back and get my cell phone so we can take a few snapshots of it. That way you'll never forget it."

"Yeah, let's do that," he agreed enthusiastically.

After Brad handed me the key, Reid went with me as I took off to get my phone. "I nearly lost it when Evan said they'd made the testicles for the octopus too," Reid stated before finally laughing out loud.

"Yes, that was funny, and it's why I jumped in and corrected him. I didn't want him to think we were laughing at him or their work of art."

When we returned, I took several photos of the octopus, with Evan and Ashley standing proudly on either side of it in half of the snapshots. Once they saw the photos and gave me their approval, they were finally ready to leave, although somewhat reluctantly.

"I bet someone will smash it once we're gone," Ashley stated.

"That would be a shame, but you're probably right. We'll still have the photos we took of it, though, no matter what happens to it," I told her.

Once that had been settled, Brad took us to the canal so we could all see that area too, but I was disappointed that there weren't any boats available so we could go out for a ride. It was a lovely location, though, with sloping banks where the wildlife lounged when they weren't in the water. Eventually, the kids got bored watching the ducks and other birds, and they were also getting hungry. Once we realized that, we chose to leave and began looking for a place to eat.

As we were enjoying a late lunch, Brad made a suggestion. "How would you kids like to have a cookout tomorrow?"

"You mean with hamburgers and hot dogs?" Ashley asked.

"Hamburgers, hot dogs and chicken breasts," Pam replied. "I'll make a couple of salads to go with it, and we'll have cantaloupe with vanilla ice cream for dessert."

"Yeah," Evan and Ashley quickly agreed.

"And I'll figure out some activities we can do in the backyard," I offered.

"You mean games?" Evan wanted to know.

"Yes, I'll figure out some games we can play."

They were both excited as they finished their meal, but Reid wanted to know exactly what I was going to do. "What kinda games are you talkin' about?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I'll figure something out."

"Then I want to help you do it."

"Ok, that's fine with me."

When we returned to the house I gave Reid a rough idea about what I'd worked out in my mind, and he agreed it sounded ok, maybe even fun. I quickly made a list of the items I would need, and then Reid went with me when I ran to the store.

"What are you going to get?"

"You'll see."

I took a cart and stopped at the service desk to inquire where I might find some of the items. Then, Reid followed me as I made my way around the store. When I was finished shopping, I had four bean bags, a large piece of tagboard, some sidewalk chalk, a ball of yarn, a playground ball, and two Frisbees in my cart. After we checked out, he helped me load everything into the car and we headed home.

"What is all that stuff for?"

"You'll see later. Or possibly tomorrow."

"So what are we going to do now?"

"I've got to plan out and make a few things. Do you want to help?"

"Yeah, if you'll show me what to do."

"That won't be a problem."

After we took everything to my apartment, we got ready to work. "I'm going to need you to bring me a ruler, a yardstick, and a pair of scissors."

"What for?"

"Patience and you'll see."

While he was doing that, I pulled out the tagboard and yarn before I went to get a marker. Once I had those things, Reid returned with the items I'd requested.

"I want you to use the ruler to measure and cut four lengths of yarn. They need to be precisely three, six, nine, and twelve inches [7.5, 15.25, 23, and 30.5 cm] in length."

While he was doing that, I used the yardstick to mark the exact center of the tagboard. Once he'd cut the three inch piece of yarn, I placed one end of it on the center point, and then I held the marker at the other end and drew a circle. I followed a similar procedure with the other pieces of yarn until I had four circles on the tagboard, measuring six, twelve, eighteen and twenty-four inches [15.25. 30.5, 45.75, and 61 cm] in diameter. I then wrote '50' in the smallest circle, '25' in the next, '15' in the one after that, and '5' in the last area.

"What is that for?"

"It's the game board for the bean bag toss."

"Oh, I see now."

"Tomorrow I will lay out the other game area we're going to use, but I'll do that on the driveway after we move all of the vehicles and park them along the curb."

"What will that area be for?"

"A game called Four Square."

"Oh. I think I've played that before at camp. Or maybe it was when I was at the elementary school."

"It's very possible you could have done it at either place."

"So what are the other games?"

"I'll tell you when I inform everyone else tomorrow."

It was getting late by this point, so I told Reid to go get Evan so we could shower. "He's not sleeping with us again, is he?"

"No, he did that the night before his party and again the next night too, so that should satisfy him for a while."

"Good, cuz the floor isn't very comfortable and it was kinda hard on my butt."

"It wouldn't have been, if you hadn't been thrusting your hips up and down with so much force. Each time after you rammed your penis into my mouth, you also managed to slam your butt on the floor when you pulled it out, and that's why your butt was sore."

"Come on, I wasn't doin' it that hard."

"Just think about it. If you weren't doing it that hard, then why was your butt getting so sore?"

He merely glared at me for a few seconds. "Ok, maybe you're right, but I'm glad we'll be doing it on the bed this time."

"Me too. Now, go get your brother if you want us to be able to do anything after we shower."

He didn't hesitate and raced out of the room. Before long, he returned with Evan. "I didn't hear you come back from the store," Evan stated.

"We came around to the side door of my apartment, and then we were busy getting things ready for tomorrow."

"K, but I'm glad you had Reid come get me."

We stripped down and jumped in the shower. We washed each other quickly, dried off, and I helped Evan with his pajamas. Once we finished, I took him up to his room and tucked him in.

"Why didn't Reid come with us?"

"He's finishing up one of the things we were working on, so he'll come up later."

"K. I love you, Uncle Quinn, and thanks for taking pictures of our octopus."

"You're welcome, and I love you too, little buddy."

"Uncle Quinn, can I ask you something?" I nodded. "What's the difference between tentacles and testicles."

I smiled. I had a feeling he might ask this eventually. "Tentacles are flexible limbs that help an octopus or squid grab or hold things."

"They kinda look like big spiders in the water, cuz a spider has eight legs too."

"Yes, they do, and an octopus uses it's tentacles to get around in the water, kind of like a spider uses it's legs on land."

"Then what's a testicle?" He looked at me innocently.

"They're what is inside the sac below your wiener."

His face suddenly lit up in understanding. "Oh, you mean my nuts!" he squealed as he grabbed his crotch and smiled. "Thank you for telling me this."

"You're welcome, sport, now settle down and get to sleep. Sweet dreams, little buddy." I then kissed him on the forehead, turned off the light and left the room, chuckling as I went.

When I returned to my apartment, I found Reid lying naked on my bed. He didn't say a word, because I already knew what he wanted, so I went over to the nightstand and grabbed the dildo and lube. After I'd prepared him and the dildo, I repeated what we'd done the night before.

Reid was still having some difficulty doing it, but it didn't seem to be as bad as his last attempt, so I merely proceeded slowly. He figured out what I was doing and kept assuring me that he was fine, but I didn't want to take any unnecessary chances. Just the same, I eventually sucked him off and he was satisfied, and then he got ready to take care of me.

"You don't have to keep worrying about me. I'm fine," he insisted even after he had gotten off.

"Maybe not, but I'd rather be safe than sorry."

I could tell he wasn't satisfied with my answer, but he rimmed and sucked me off, nonetheless. After I'd ejaculated too, we cuddled together and fell asleep.

When we awoke the next morning, we discovered we were the first ones up, so I started getting things together so I could make breakfast for the family. Pam got to the kitchen a couple of minutes later, so we worked together and were ready to start cooking by the time Brad came down to join us. Since Pam didn't want to prepare breakfast in shifts, she sent Reid upstairs to wake Ashley and Evan. When they joined us and everything was ready, we sat down to eat.

"When will we be having the cookout?" Evan asked between shoveling forkfuls of food into his mouth.

"You haven't even finished breakfast yet, and you're already thinking about the cookout?" Brad teased.

"Yeah, I want to know when we're gonna do that."

"Your father and I talked it over and we've agreed that we'll cook the hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill for lunch, and then we'll cook the chicken breasts on the grill for dinner. I'll make some other things to go with them, so are you satisfied now?"

"Yeah, cuz now we're havin' two cookouts."

"In a manner of speaking," Pam agreed.

"So when will we play the games?"

"Not until later, because you and Ashley usually like to watch your programs in the morning," I replied. "I also have some more things to get ready first, with Reid's help. I think we'll play the games after lunch and keep going until we eat dinner, if that's ok with you?"

"Yeah, that sounds good."

"We might even play a bit after dinner too."

After we finished eating, Evan and Ashley headed to the family room, and I asked Brad and Pam for their keys. After I'd backed all of the vehicles out of the driveway and parked them on the street, Reid and I got busy on the next project – making the Four Square court. It would be a large square, six feet [1.85 m] on each side, broken down into four smaller squares three feet [90 cm] on each side. We also numbered the squares from one to four, and once that was set, we went back to my apartment.

"I think this will be fun," Reid said once we were alone.

"I hope so, seeing we've put so much effort into getting everything ready."

"So when are you gonna tell us what the rest of the games are?"

"Right before we begin playing them." He groaned at my evasiveness.

Reid decided to switch topics and wanted to talk about the camping trip, so I used the time wisely and we began planning the various meals. As soon as we finished doing that, I looked at each meal and determined what we would need, and then I began making a shopping list. It was turning out to be quite lengthy and made me realize this was going to be a humongous undertaking. There would be a great deal to purchase, but what else would you expect if you were trying to feed five teenagers and an adult? It was almost lunchtime when we finished, so I went out to see if Brad or Pam needed any help.

"I don't," Pam responded. "I've finished making the salads and other dishes, so there's nothing left to do." Seeing she didn't need my assistance, I went outside to ask Brad.

"No, I can handle it. You and Pam can do the cooking in the kitchen, but I'm the master of the grill. No one touches this baby but me," he stated boastfully.

Since my service wasn't required, I went back to my apartment and stored all of the items for the games near the door leading outside. All I'd have to do later would be to step through the door and grab what I needed before we began each game. Since everything was set, I sat with the kids at the picnic table as we waited to be fed. For some reason, this reminded me about the old Yogi Bear cartoons, so I looked at Reid and spoke, "Go fetch me a pic-i-nic basket, Boo-Boo."

He and the other two looked at me like I'd just lost my mind, so I had to explain the joke to them. I also said I'd go on You Tube with them some time and see if we could find any of the old shows there, so they'd know why I'd said that.

When we saw Pam carrying the salads outside, Reid and I jumped up to help her. We also brought out the hamburger and hot dog buns, along with the drinks, condiments, plates, and silverware. By the time it was all on the picnic table, Brad was adding a platter of meat alongside everything else.

It was a carefree meal and it reminded me of the many picnics and cookouts I'd been part of as a boy. I'm not sure if Pam and Brad experienced the same feelings, but that was one heck of a trip in itself.

As soon as we finished eating, Evan had another question. "When are we gonna have the cantaloupe and ice cream?"

"Are you still hungry?" Pam wondered.

"Only for dessert."

"We'll clean up and take care of everything first, and then we'll play some games. We'll take a break later to have dessert."

That was my cue, so I stepped inside my apartment and grabbed the tagboard and bean bags. "We'll start with something easy first, since our bellies are all stuffed," I began. "I'm sure you've all played something similar to this before, but we're going to play bean bag toss. As you can see, the circles have points and the bean bag must be mostly in the circle to get the points listed for it, otherwise you get the lesser amount."

I then figured a good distance to do this from, but I allowed Evan and Ashley to toss the bean bags from one line, while the rest of us had to stand farther away. The younger pair thought that was fair, but Reid grumbled a bit about it.

"Why can't I do it from the kids' line?"

"I thought you didn't consider yourself a kid any longer," I stated. "I guess you can do it from there if you want, but since you're bigger than the other two you'll have to do it on your knees."

He decided to try doing that, but after a couple of attempts he discovered the ground interfered with his arm swing. He also had difficulty because he couldn't 'step' or 'lean' toward the target as easily while tossing the bean bag, so he wasn't doing very well. That's when he decided he join the rest of us and toss the bean bags from the 'adult' line instead.

After we'd played that game a few times, I retrieved the playground ball from my apartment and took everyone out front to play Four Square in the driveway.

"Yay, he's got one of the balls like we have at school, so we won't have to use the soccer ball to play kickball any more," Ashley stated when she noticed the ball.

"Yes, but this time we'll use it for this game. As you can see, the court has four squares, numbered one to four. Squares one and four are diagonal to each other, as are squares two and three. The person in square one starts the game with a serve, which is done by dropping the ball and then hitting it on the bounce to square four. After that, the person in the square it's hit to can hit the ball into any of the squares, and then that person has to hit it to another. Now, here are some things you should know before we start.

"First, you can only hit the ball with your hand, from the wrist down, and you can do it with either the front or back of your hand, and use an open hand or closed fist. You are not allowed to catch, carry, or hold onto the ball. If you do, you're out. The ball must bounce in another players square, but if you hit it out of the playing area or into your own square, then you're out. If the ball hits the ground more than once after it hits your square, then you're out too. Any questions?"

There were a few clarifications needed before we could get started, and once those were taken care of, I had one more thing to tell them.

"Ok, I'll start in square one, the service square, and I'll also make the rulings about what is a good or bad hit until you are all familiar with the game. Once you're out, you'll have to leave the court and the other players move up to the next open square. Then, a new player will move into square four so we can start a new game. Are you ready to do this?"

They were, and we played the first of many rounds of the game. It soon became extremely competitive and I heard some trash talking going on, but for the most part it was an enjoyable way to pass the time. Once we finished, we went out to the backyard again, but this time for dessert.

Each of us got a wedge of cantaloupe with a scoop of ice cream on it, and it was a refreshing, tasty, and welcomed treat. Once I finished my portion, I went to my apartment and grabbed what we'd need to play the next game.

I returned with two Frisbees and a small kitchen timer, which I held up for everyone to see. "This time we're going to play Frisbee tag. I'll pick two people to be 'it' first, and they will try to hit someone else by throwing the Frisbee at them. If you're hit, even if it only glances off you, then you become 'it' and must retrieve the Frisbee to toss at someone else. If you are 'it' and miss everyone else with your toss, then you'll have to chase after the Frisbee and try it again. When we start, I'll set the timer for five minutes, and when it dings the two who are still 'it' will have to drop out. When we get down to having just three people left, we'll switch to using only one Frisbee and then continue until only one person is left."

"What if both Frisbees hit the same person?" Ashley asked.

"Then the second Frisbee to hit that person will be considered a miss," I answered.

I then gave everyone a chance to practice tossing the Frisbees first, and once everyone was ready, we began. We ended up playing this three times, until we had three different winners, and then we stopped so Pam and Brad could work on dinner.

Brad went to get the chicken breasts that Pam had marinated in barbeque sauce, and then he began placing them on the grill. As he was doing that, the rest of us helped bring everything else outside again, including the new side dishes. Once the meat had finished cooking, we all sat down at the picnic table to eat.

"Those games were fun," Ashley said in between bites.

"Yeah, are we gonna play those again, or something else?" Evan asked.

"I have one other game we can play, but then we'll play whichever games you liked best after that one."

They seemed happy with that, so after we ate and cleaned up the mess, I explained the final game. "This is a combination of two of the games we played earlier. This time we're going to toss the Frisbees at the game board we used for the bean bags, because the next game is Frisbee toss. We'll do this from farther away than we did with the bean bags, and you'll be given the highest points for any circle your Frisbee touches."

We did that several times, and then we played each of the other games one more time too. When it started getting late, we moved our vehicles into the driveway again, and then we went inside to have root beer floats. Once we finished those, the kids had to start getting ready for bed, because they still had school for another week and a half.

After we finished our shower, Reid and I talked it over and opted not to do anything sexual tonight. We were both tired after the long, hectic, and enjoyable holiday weekend, and he needed his rest for school, so we merely got into bed and cuddled until we fell asleep.

Chapter 44
School's Out!

Now that Memorial Day weekend was behind us, I spent the majority of my time preparing for the camping trip. Reid and I had already planned the meals from the suggestions we got from the others at our meeting, and then I'd transferred it all into a large grocery list too. Most of the items we'd be taking with us were in cans, powdered, or freeze-dried, and we took Jeremy and Paul's word that it wasn't going to be disgusting.

The following weekend I arranged to go over and meet Jeremy's father so I could talk to him about a number of things. I had many questions I wanted to ask him, which included getting directions to the campsite, any information I should know about his truck (since he'd told Jeremy we could use it), and any advice he could give me about doing this.

When we got to the house, Jeremy came out to greet us and to make sure we were prepared for what we were about to encounter. "My dad is having trouble getting around, so he won't be coming outside to do this. He also has trouble speaking, so I'll do most of the talking for him, but he'll be there to correct me if I say something wrong or if I forget something. Please look him in the eye and treat him as you would anyone else, because his feelings are easily hurt and he doesn't like to be pitied."

"Ok, I have no trouble with that," I agreed, with Reid confirming he didn't either.

When we went inside, Jeremy formally introduced us to each other. When his dad extended his hand to shake, I took it, but I did it very carefully. It was like shaking hands with a small child, because his arm was so relaxed. I understood this was most likely due to his muscles starting to atrophy and he was beginning to lose muscular control. I was impressed that he'd even bothered to offer his hand, but he might have done it because he didn't want to appear weak or give us any reason to pity him. As we shook, he thanked us for coming in a very halting voice, and then I thanked him for being so helpful and loaning us the things we'd need to do this.

"I was hoping you could give me directions on how to get there," I began.

"My dad had me print out a map on the computer, along with the written directions on how to get there. I have it ready for you, so I'll go get it," Jeremy stated. He then left the room briefly and returned with a couple of sheets of paper in hand, which he gave to me.

"I'm also going to load the truck with everything we'll need. When you come over to pick it up later, I'll go over everything with you."

"Will you need our help?"

"No, I'm used to doing it and I'll be fine."

"Would it be possible for you to leave one side of the bed open for the groceries? I'm going to have quite a few things to load in the truck after we pick up the other boys and get back to our place."

"Yeah, I can do that. I'll use the water carriers and some other stuff to block the area off, and it should stay like that, as long as you don't drive too fast and cause everything to slide around."

"Don't worry, I'll be very careful with your father's truck."

We chatted for a little while longer, and then I thanked Jeremy and his dad as we prepared to leave.

"No, thank you for taking my son," Jeremy's dad replied with some difficulty, and I knew he meant it from the bottom of his heart. Reid and I then said goodbye and returned home.

Over the next few days I did some research on ALS, seeing we were talking about our visit with Jeremy's dad. I told Reid that Jeremy was probably correct, because I'd learned most patients only live a couple of years after the symptoms first appeared. From what I could tell, Jeremy's dad would most likely pass away sometime in the next few years. We then agreed to do everything we could to help Jeremy through it when the time came, because we could tell losing his dad was going to be really rough for him.

I also spent time studying the map, doing the shopping, and getting our gear ready for the trip. As Wednesday, June 6th, approached, we turned our attention to the end of the school year. The only school function that was left on our calendar was Reid's graduation from middle school.

The school district made a big deal out of certain events during the course of a student's academic career, and it all started very early with the Kindergarten graduation. After that, the students also celebrated graduating from elementary school (4th grade), graduation from middle school (8th grade), and finally high school graduation. Seeing those were the only special functions that families would be attending, it meant that Reid would be the only one involved in one of these events this year.

For that reason, Brad and Pam took the morning off from work to attend, and I was going too. The last day of school was only a half day, so Brad and Pam weren't worried about the graduation ceremony running long and making them late for work. Those In charge would have to make sure the ceremony finished on time so it didn't interfere with the buses taking the students home.

Reid wanted to look good for his graduation, as well as wanting his parents and me to be proud of him, so he decided to wear a pair of slacks, a dress shirt, and a tie to the ceremony. I thought he looked very handsome and told him so, which earned me a huge grin. We rode to the school in two vehicles, because Brad and Pam would be leaving directly for work once it ended, and then Reid would ride home with me. The other kids would take the bus home, and Reid and I should arrive well before they got there.

The ceremony was held in the auditorium, and the 8th graders were all seated in folding chairs on the stage. Each one was wearing a mortarboard, which they'd obviously made using construction paper and yarn. The mortarboards were a nice touch and didn't appear tacky, and the kids all seemed to be wearing them proudly. They knew the mortarboard signified that they were now leaving the middle school and would be attending the high school in the fall, so they viewed it as a badge of honor.

The entire ceremony lasted a couple of hours, starting with the principal's opening remarks. After he finished, the assistant principal began announcing each graduate's name and then they'd walk up to the podium to receive their certificate from the principal. They would also shake hands, and then the graduate would move the yarn tassel from the left side of the mortarboard to the right, to indicate he'd graduated.

Brad, Pam, and I walked closer to the stage just before Reid's name was called, and then we snapped several photos while he was accepting his certificate and shaking the principal's hand. Then, we returned to our seats and waited for the ceremony to end.

After all of the graduates had received their certificates, it was announced that a reception would be held in the cafeteria and refreshments would be served. This event was organized by the P.T.A. and I thought it was a nice touch. Reid's friends came over to see us while we were there and introduced their parents. We also got to chat with some of the teachers, but when things began to wind down, Brad and Pam said goodbye and left for work. Shortly after that, Reid and I headed home.

"So now you and your friends will be moving up to join the big kids at the high school," I stated.

"You're not a kid any more when you're in high school."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Please accept my apology. What I meant to say was that you'll now be part of the elite crowd at the high school."

"Yeah, that's better, but we'll also be the rookies again. It was kind of nice being in the oldest group and at the top of the heap this year."

"And you'll be part of the oldest group again in four years."

"I know," he agreed, and then he went silent. We were almost home before he spoke again. "I hope you didn't forget that the guys will be comin' to the house on Friday so we can make sure we're all set for the camping trip."

"Yes, I remember. We'll go over the list I made with Paul and Jeremy, just to be sure we have all the gear we'll need. We'll also discuss the types of games and other activities you guys might be interested in participating in while we're there, and then we'll make sure we take everything we'll need to do those things too. We'll leave on Saturday morning after we finish loading the food, and we should arrive at the campsite some time in the afternoon. We'll stay there until the following Saturday, so there will be lots of time to do all kinds of things in between."

"Yep, and it will be fun. Did you remember that Chad will be staying over after the meeting?"

"Yes, I haven't forgotten that either."

"Make sure you get lots of rest before then, because we plan on wearing you out in the bedroom."

"Big talk from a couple of little boys," I teased before releasing an evil laugh.

"We're not little boys, and you should know that because you've seen us both naked when we do stuff."

"I know, but I couldn't resist."

"Yeah, and you can't resist playing with our naughty bits either." This time it was his turn to break out in an evil laugh.

When the other two got home, I basically left Evan and Ashley to entertain themselves and each other. It was pretty much the same thing over the next couple of days too, although Reid never left my side. I was busy preparing for the meeting with his friends and used his input to ensure that I didn't overlook anything. I thought we were set by mid-morning on Friday and merely prayed I hadn't forgotten anything.

Since Evan and Ashley were going to be staying with the Van Pattens for the weekend, I walked them over to their house after lunch. After talking briefly with Amanda, I returned home and waited for Reid's friends to arrive. Once they were all there, we offered them a drink and a snack first, before sitting down at the dining room table to discuss everything.

First, I went down my list to make sure we knew who was supplying which items and making sure each boy had a sleeping bag to use. Then I went over the list of personal items that each of them should pack, because we'd be too far away to return and retrieve anything they'd forgotten. Once those issues had been taken care of, I passed around the menu Reid and I had worked on, and then I asked if anyone had a problem with anything. Once that had been cleared up, I asked what types of snacks they wanted too, because I was sure they would want something to nibble on while sitting around the campfire at night.

"I've already purchased the ingredients to make S'mores, and I've got several containers of Jiffy Pop, because I figured you'd enjoy having popcorn too. Now, I want to know what else you might enjoy?"

The boys then suggested I buy different types of cookies, as well as peanuts and cashews. Someone else suggested I get a couple of variety packs with an assortments of different types of munchies, so each of them could choose what they wanted. They also gave me the money their parents had sent with them to cover the food and gas we'd need for the trip, so I felt all of the bases had been covered.

We sat around and talked about other things for a while longer, and then I drove them home. I made it appear as if I was dropping Chad off last, but that was merely a deception, because he was coming back with us.

"This is gonna be great," he said on the ride to the house. "I've never been camping like this before and can't wait."

"I can't wait to get to the house, cuz no one else is gonna be there and we'll have plenty of time to mess around," Reid added.

"Yeah, I like that idea even better," Chad agreed.

I wasn't sure if I was going to survive until Brad and Pam got home, because these two seemed to have big plans for me. As soon as we got inside, they began to remove their clothes and urged me to do the same.

"What if someone comes to the door?" I challenged playfully.

"Then we'll be really quiet and they'll think no one is home. Besides, we'll be in your apartment where they can't see us, and we'll be having a blast," Reid answered.

They then picked up the clothes they'd already removed and carried them as we headed to my apartment, because they didn't want to leave anything lying around for Brad and Pam to find later. As far as Chad knew, Brad and Pam had no idea what we were up to, and I wanted to keep it that way. I merely trailed behind so I could watch their butts jiggle as they walked, a sight that had me semi-erect by the time we got to the bedroom.

"I guess someone likes what he's seen so far," Chad joked when he noticed my penis.

"Guilty as charged, and it's a good thing for you too, otherwise we wouldn't be doing this."

"Ok, let's get started then. Me and Reid talked it over already and want you to use the dildos on us first, but don't suck us off."

"Really? Why not?"

"Well, the last time you said we'd be able to fuck each other if we wanted, so we thought we'd try that after you loosened us up with the dildos."

"Ok, and since you won't be needing me when you do it, I'll leave you two alone at that time."

"No!" Reid screamed. "We have something else planned that includes you too, so you've gotta stay. We'll explain it all to you when we get ready to do it."

I was intrigued, but couldn't imagine what they might have planned that would include me, since they'd just admitted that they were going to be intimate. However, since they wanted me to use the dildos on them first, I took those items, the condoms, and the lube, out of the nightstand to get them ready.

"So who's going first?"

"You can do it to me and then to Chad, because I'm gonna fuck him first. He can fuck me later, before we shower."

"It sounds as if you have this all figured out."

"Including your part, but we'll tell you about that in a little while," Reid added as he laid on the bed and pulled his knees back to his chest. "Ok, I'm ready."

I used the smaller dildo on him first and then I switched over to the larger one. As soon as I finished doing that to him, he and Chad exchanged places and I did the same thing to Chad. Once I felt he was ready too, I looked from one boy to the other and waited for them to tell me what to do next.

"Do we need to use a condom?" Reid wanted to know.

"Since neither of you has done anything like this before, then it should be safe for you to do it without one. However, if either of you ever has another partner, then you'll have to use a condom with that person, and then you'll have to start using them with each other and every other partner from that point on. So are you going to tell me what I'm supposed to do while you are screwing Chad?"

"Oh, yeah. Lie down on your back, with your head at the foot of the bed. Then Chad will get on all fours over you, and then you guys can suck each other off while I'm fuckin' him."

"So you want me to suck his penis while I'm looking up and watching your dick slide in and out of his butt?"

"Yep."

"Don't you want some privacy to do this?"

"Nah," Chad responded. "We've all done stuff before, and you've seen everything already, so we don't have a problem with you being here while we're doing this too." "Ok, if you're sure."

As soon as we were all in position, Chad started to suck on my penis, but I waited and watched Reid enter him first. Once Reid had established a rhythm, I quit looking at what he was doing and began working on Chad's dick instead. We were all going at it at that point, and the room was filled will the sounds of slurping, skin slapping against skin, and the moans of those enjoying the attention they were receiving.

After several minutes of this action, Chad was the first one to shoot his load, and it caused him to stop working on me temporarily. A minute later, I heard Reid panting as he raced toward the finish line, and then he slammed his penis into Chad one final time and filled him with his baby makers. Once he was completely drained, Reid collapsed onto Chad's back, which caused Chad to fall sideways and land on the bed next to me. Reid slowly rolled off of him, and it wasn't very long after that before Chad regained his senses and started working on me again.

As soon as Reid recovered, he walked over to the other side of the bed and began working on my nipples, while Chad's head was bobbing up and down over my crotch. They continued this dual action until I enjoyed my release too, and then both boys cuddled against me until I came down from my orgasmic high.

"That was really wicked," Reid said when he saw me staring at him. "It felt like I'd stuck my dick into a fleshy glove, and it was really warm in there too. It almost felt like his butt was sucking me off."

"So you enjoyed doing that, did you?" I joked.

"Yep. It was incredible."

"How about you, Chad?" I asked as I turned my head in his direction.

"I loved it too. It was almost like when you sucked me off while sliding the dildo in my butt, but Reid's cock didn't vibrate." He giggled after saying this.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about that, unless I can find a way to ram one of those motors up his penis."

"No way!" Reid objected. "He'll have to take it like it is."

"I already did," Chad teased.

We decided to shower after that, rather than waiting until later. After we'd cleaned up and put our clothes on again, we went to the family room to watch TV. We did this because we didn't want Brad and Pam to find us in my apartment when they came home, because then they might think we'd spent the entire afternoon messing around. Who knows what Brad might say or do if he thought that, since the two little ones wouldn't be around to deter him?

As soon as we heard them walking through the door, I went out to talk to Pam about dinner. "Do you know what you're going to fix, because I'm willing to help?"

"I was planning to ask if you wouldn't mind going out to eat instead. Would you get the boys so we can discuss this?"

"Of course, but if you'd called and told me this earlier I would have been happy to fix something."

"It wasn't necessary. You've done, and continue to do, enough already."

I then went to get the boys. However, they wanted to know what was up when I asked them to come with me. "We're just going to discuss what we're going to do for dinner." They were fine with that and followed me willingly.

"What do you boys think about going out to eat?" Pam began. "We can either go to the Chinese restaurant for their buffet, or we can go to the Old Country Buffet again."

Reid and Chad discussed this briefly with each other before they responded. "Either one will be ok with us," Reid answered.

"Just as long as they get to fill their bottomless pits," I teased.

"Which would you prefer, Quinn?" Pam followed.

"I'm like the boys and will be fine with either one."

"Ok, then it looks like Brad and I will have to choose."

Brad said he really wasn't up for Chinese, so we ended up going back to the Old Country Buffet. As we walked up to the cashier, I swear I saw the manager's body slouch and his eyes roll when he recognized the boys. I guess he realized his establishment was about to lose money again.

The boys did the same thing that they'd done before and filled their plates with salad and entrees, and then they went back and got another plateful, once the first one was empty. They also had multiple desserts, but the rest of us were more restrained. The only one the restaurant made any money on was Pam, while they might have broken even with Brad and me.

When we returned home, we all went to the family room to see what was on TV, and Brad and Pam sat in the chairs again, so the boys could sit with me on the sofa. I think Brad was mildly surprised when Chad sat on one end, with Reid next to him, and they left the other end open for me. I think he felt they were going to have me sit between them, so maybe this will help to convince him that Chad is interested in Reid, not me.

We found a movie that looked interesting, and one none of us had seen before, so we settled back to allow our meals a chance to digest, while letting our brains be numbed by the action on the screen. In the end, I think we all agreed the movie was ok, although not great, but it helped to kill a couple of hours. Once it was over, we said goodnight to Brad and Pam before they went to their bedroom, and then the boys followed me to my apartment.

"Ok, it's my turn now," Chad announced gleefully once we were alone.

As soon as we stripped, we arranged ourselves on the bed, just as we had earlier, but this time Reid was on all fours above me and Chad was ready to take him from the rear. At first I thought about opting out this time, but then I realized my body should have had enough time to recuperate. I also thought watching Chad fuck Reid would turn me on enough so I'd be able to ejaculate again.

Just like before, I waited and watched Chad slide his penis into Reid before I got busy, and then I watched Chad pound Reid's ass while I was sucking Reid off. I also imagined that it was me doing it to Reid and hoped doing that would spur me to ejaculate sooner, so I didn't make Reid work so hard. It must have worked too, because after several minutes of this hectic pace we all had our orgasms at roughly the same time.

Chad was the first one to cum, and I watched as he thrust into Reid one final time and then froze momentarily, which told me he was making a deposit. Reid then shot his load in my mouth, and this sent me over the edge too, as I filled Reid's mouth with my semen.

As soon as their penises were drained, Chad and Reid collapsed on the bed next to me. After taking a couple of minutes to revel in the throes of our orgasms, we got up and made our way to the bathroom, ready to take another shower.

We washed each other quickly without doing anything else, since we were already satisfied from the session we'd just completed. After we'd dried off and brushed our teeth, we returned to the bedroom. As he was moving to his side of the bed, Chad looked at me and spoke.

"We've got to do that from now on, and I hope one day you'll do it to Reid and me too."

I didn't respond to his comment, since I'd already told him that it was something we'd have to discuss at a later date. Instead, I crawled into bed and moved next to Chad, as Reid slid in behind me. They immediately rolled toward me and draped themselves around my body, which reminded me of two pieces of metal being drawn to a powerful magnet. They both kissed me on the cheek before placing their heads on my chest, and then I kissed each one on the top of his head before closing my eyes and drifting off to sleep.

When we awoke the next morning, we got dressed and went out to have breakfast with Brad and Pam. While we were eating, Chad thanked us for letting him stay over and for taking him out to eat the previous evening. We told him he was welcome, but shortly after we'd finished our meals, I had to take him home. Chad's parents had told him that they wanted to spend some time together over the next couple of days to make up for the time he'd be gone camping. He didn't have a problem with this, seeing we'd done everything else he wanted to do the day before, and he thanked me again before he got out of the car.

"I really had a great time with you guys yesterday and I want to thank you for letting me do that stuff with you. Now, I can't wait for the camping trip."

"You're welcome, but I hope you remember that nothing sexual can happen while we're camping with the others."

"I know, but I'm still looking forward to it," he replied as he got out of the car.

On the ride home, Reid thanked me too, and then I spent the rest of the day working on my new story, because I was trying to get as much done as I could before we went camping. Since Reid was eager for me to do this, he gave me some space and spent his time watching TV or going out to spend a little time with his mom and dad. It was a very relaxing day for all of us.

After we'd showered and climbed into bed later, Reid announced he only wanted us to suck each other off tonight. He didn't want to do more than that, since we'd done so much the day before, and he didn't feel we needed to mess around with the dildos until tomorrow.

Amanda brought Evan and Ashley home shortly after we'd finished breakfast the following morning, and explained why she brought them back so early.

"I know the kids wanted to stay longer, but Bob's home and he wants to take us somewhere. Since I have no idea where we're going or how long we'll be gone, I thought I'd better bring them home now. I had a feeling you'd all like to spend some time with your kids too, so this will give you an opportunity to do that."

We thanked her for allowing Evan and Ashley to spend time with their family, and the kids thanked her for letting them stay at their house for most of the weekend. Now that they were home, Evan and Ashley began to bug me about playing some of the games we'd played on Memorial Day.

"Ok, I can do that with you for a while, but then I'll have to get back to work on my story."

They didn't have a problem with that, seeing I was going to spend some time with them first, and they helped me carry everything outside. We played the bean bag toss first, followed by the Frisbee toss, and then we played Frisbee tag, but this time we only used one Frisbee. When they were satisfied that we'd played those games long enough, we went inside to ask Brad and Pam to move their vehicles out of the driveway, while I did the same. Their parents didn't have a problem doing this, so before long I was playing Four Square with the kids too.

I did that with them for nearly an hour, and I was impressed that Evan seemed to be holding his own against the older pair. He was quick and agile, which was a definite plus, and it turned out that he wasn't as easy a target as the other two had figured, so the games turned out to be very competitive.

When we finished, Brad, Pam, and I had to move our vehicles into the driveway again, and then I went to my apartment to work on the story. I did that until Reid came in to tell me dinner was ready.

I decided to spend some time with the rest of the family after we finished eating, and we went to the family room to watch our usual Sunday night shows. Brad and Pam sat in the chairs again and allowed the kids to sit on the couch with me.

When it was time to shower, Evan asked a question. "Cuz we don't got no more school, can I shower with you every night now?"

I looked over at Pam and she was unable to contain her smile as she gave me a slight nod, so I guess it meant it was alright with her, as long as it was ok with me. "I suppose we can do that if you want."

Evan was thrilled and went flying to his bedroom to get his things, while Reid and I chatted briefly with his parents before heading to my apartment. Evan still managed to beat us there, and he left the door to the apartment open after he'd rushed inside. I closed and locked it first, before going to the bedroom to undress, and Evan was already down to his briefs by the time Reid and I got there.

"I know you're excited, but I've got to warn you about a couple of things first." I began to undress while I was saying this. "First of all, we're only going to shower and it doesn't mean you'll be able to sleep with me too."

"Ok, but can I sleep with you some other time?"

"I'll let you know when you can. The other thing is that after you shower and put on your pajamas, I want you to let your mother tuck you in. I'll only do it for you on Friday and Saturday nights, since I know she likes to do it too."

"Ok. I'll let her do it."

Reid didn't seem to have a problem with this arrangement either, since we didn't normally do anything in the shower anyway. We generally waited and did those things after we were alone in the bedroom, so this wasn't going to interfere with his sexual relief.

When we finished washing each other, I dried the boys off before helping Evan with his PJs. Once he was dressed, I kissed him on the forehead, wished him sweet dreams, and sent him off to find Pam. She'd told me before that she enjoyed tucking the kids in and that I was their special time together, so I didn't want to mess it up any more than I already had.

Once Evan was gone, Reid wanted me to rim him and use the dildo on him first, before we sucked each other off. When we finished doing that, we cuddled together and fell asleep, sexually sated and content in each other's arms.

Since the kids were on summer vacation, Amanda and I took turns watching them during the week. They were all with me on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and then they spent Tuesday and Thursday with her. I'd decided to take more of the days this week, because Reid and I would be leaving on Saturday and going camping, so she'd be watching all four kids next week. While she was with the younger group, I'd be dealing with a bunch of teens, so I wasn't sure who was getting the better deal.

Chapter 45
A Camping We Will Go!

Chad showed up on Friday at noon, shortly after I'd taken Evan and Ashley over to the Van Patten's house. He had talked his parents into letting him spend the night with us before we left on our camping trip, but Reid and I knew he hadn't asked for that reason. He'd done it so his sexual needs could be taken care of before the anticipated weeklong drought, although he didn't tell his parents this. Almost as soon as he walked through the door, he looked up at Reid and me and spoke.

"Are you guys ready to go to the bedroom and get started?"

"I am," Reid quickly agreed, as both boys turned to look at me.

"You two certainly don't waste any time," I quipped.

"That's cuz if we do it now, then we'll be able to do it again later, before we go to sleep," Chad pointed out.

"Yeah, cuz you've told us before that it takes you longer to get ready to do it again, so we want to give you plenty time," Reid added.

"Well, you're right about that, so maybe we should get started," I agreed.

The boys took off for my apartment the second I'd finished speaking, so I followed them, but at a slightly slower pace. I also took a second to lock the door behind me, but that was mainly out of habit. On second thought, maybe I was a little paranoid, because I still worried that someone would show up and catch us in the act, so I felt it was better to be safe than sorry.

When I got to the bedroom, the boys began encouraging me to move a little faster, because they were nearly naked and I had just begun to take off my clothes. I knew it wouldn't take very long to finish undressing, but they were impatient, like most kids their age. Before I was done, however, they began to explain what they wanted to do.

"We want to do the same thing we did the last time," Chad said to start the explanation.

"And I'm gonna fuck Chad first again," Reid added.

"Yeah, I'm gonna do it last, and then maybe it won't be so bad for me while we're camping, cuz you said we won't be able to do nothin' there," Chad reasoned.

I didn't have a problem with what they wanted to do, but I was going to loosen them both up with the dildos first, before they did it with each other. They didn't have a problem with this and agreed it would make it easier for them to do what they wanted. Therefore, I used the two vibrating dildos on Chad, while he sucked on Reid to get him hard.

As soon as that had been taken care of, I laid down on the bed and Chad got on all fours above me. As soon as we were in position, Reid moved in behind Chad and began working his penis into Chad's rectum. I was already sucking Chad as I watched Reid doing this, but Chad didn't start working on me until Reid was all the way in. Once that happened, we all got busy trying to give each other as much pleasure as we could.

We carried on like that for quite a few minutes, and I noticed the boys' stamina was getting better all the time. When I first started doing these things with Reid, he would barely last longer than a minute before he orgasmed, but that has slowly increased and he was lasting much longer now. The same was true of Chad, although the increase for him wasn't as dramatic, but I was still impressed. I was thinking about that when Chad grunted and filled my mouth with the first blast of his cum.

Chad stopped working on me while he was enjoying his orgasm and several spurts of his tasty boy cream slid down my throat. I held the last of his offering on my tongue and swished it around before I swallowed it too, because I enjoyed savoring his unique taste. It was slightly different than Reid's, but just as enjoyable, and once he was completely drained, he laid his head on my stomach and kept his butt in the air until Reid had finished too.

As soon as Reid was done ramming his penis in and out of Chad's hole and had filled him with his cum, the two boys collapsed on the bed. After they'd enjoyed those wondrous feelings for a few minutes, they started to perk up and were ready to work on me again.

Chad continued to suck me off while Reid massaged my scrotum and worked his fingers into my rectum, as he searched for my prostate. Since I'd just endured a brief hiatus before they resumed their efforts, it took several minutes before I got off too. I had to give Chad credit, though, because he never gave up, even though it took longer than usual this time, even with Reid giving him a helping hand.

As I was lost in my post-orgasmic fog, Reid and Chad took turns kissing me and thanking me for doing these things with them. I found this slightly humorous, because I was enjoying the sessions just as much, or possibly even more than they were, yet they were thanking me. Not only that, but I was also the one who was being fawned over by two handsome young studs, so I should be thanking them, not the other way around. Anyway, now that we were done, we went to shower and dress before heading to the kitchen for a snack and a drink.

After we finished with that, I had Reid call Jeremy and to see if he needed any help getting the truck ready, but once again he assured us that he could do it by himself. He also told Reid that it was mostly loaded already and he only had a few more items to add. I had Reid thank him and say we'd see him early the following morning, so we'd have time to go over everything and fill the gas tank on the truck before it was time to pick up the other boys.

After that had been taken care of, I thought of something else. "I'll have Reid's father drive me over to get the truck in the morning, but I want you two to stay here. I'll pick up the other boys before I come back. Chad, if any of them ask why you're at our house, I want you to tell them that you got confused and thought you were supposed to meet us here. That should take care of any problems."

"Ok, I can do that."

"When I get here with the truck, I want you two to help me load the groceries in it. I've stored everything in the garage and we'll just have to carry it out to the truck and put it in the back, along with our gear. Do either of you have a problem with that?"

"No," they both responded.

We continued tying up loose ends and talking about other things until Brad and Pam arrived home. Pam immediately went out to the kitchen to start making dinner, so I went out to join her.

"Let me give you a hand."

"No, you go rest up, because you'll need all your strength for the week ahead."

"I'll be ok, so what can I do?"

"No, I'm serious. You've only had to deal with Reid before, but it's not going to be as easy with five teens. Trust me on that."

"But Chad's been here too, and Evan's been with us sometimes as well."

"I still think this is going to be a lot more difficult for you."

"I hope you're wrong about that."

"So do I, but go keep Reid and Chad company until I call you for dinner."

Since she didn't want my help, I went to find the boys. They were talking to Brad about the camping trip. "I remember doing something like that when I was younger, and I hope you guys have as much fun as I did."

"Oh, we will. Uncle Quinn's got everything planned out," Reid replied.

"Not everything," I said jumping into the conversation, "but I think there will be enough for you guys to choose from so you won't be bored."

We continued our conversation until Pam called us out to eat. After we'd filled our plates, Pam led the conversation in a different direction. "So what do you want to do later?"

The boys looked at each other quickly, and I was convinced they were thinking about what they wanted to do in my bedroom, so I spoke up instead. "Is there anything good on TV tonight?"

"I'm not sure. We'll have to check the cable guide to see what's on."

After we finished our meal, I helped Pam clean up the mess, and then we found something that we all agreed to watch. Around 9:00, the boys and I said goodnight to Brad and Pam and told them we were going to bed early so we'd be fresh for the long drive. They didn't have a problem with this, but the boys and I knew we weren't going to my apartment to sleep, because they were ready for round two.

As soon as we reached the bedroom, Chad spoke. "We don't really have to hurry when we do this, do we?"

"Not hurry, but I will need to get some sleep. I don't think you want me to doze off on the way to the campsite."

"No, that wouldn't be good, so we better get started."

We followed the same routine as earlier, but this time Reid and Chad swapped roles. Other than that, this session went the same as before and we all enjoyed a sexual release. Once we were all satisfied, we showered before going to bed, and they both cuddled against me as we fell into a deep and restful slumber.

We got up as soon as my alarm went off in the morning, and then we headed out to fill our bellies before we left. Since I had told Brad and Pam what time we would be leaving, they were already up too. Pam was busy preparing our breakfast, and Brad was waiting to drive me over to Jeremy's house to pick up the truck. I thought this was really nice of them, but I knew they were doing it mostly for their son.

Pam made French toast, scrambled eggs, and home fries, because she wanted to make sure we were full for the trip. She also made two trays of sweet rolls that she put in plastic containers to send with us for the trip. I thought that was sweet of her and knew the boys would enjoy them.

Once we were all full, I told Reid and Chad to take our gear out to the garage and put it with the food, and then I reminded them not to forget about the sweet rolls.

"You don't have to worry about that," Chad confirmed. "I won't leave them behind."

"And don't forget anything else while you're doing that," I warned.

Brad then drove me over to Jeremy's house and dropped me off. He asked if I wanted him to stick around, but I told him I had everything under control and he could leave. As he was pulling away, I saw Jeremy come out of the house and I was surprised to see he was helping his father come out on the porch.

"I just wanted to say goodbye and thank you for doing this for my son," he stated in his halting speech.

"It's my pleasure, and I promise I'll take good care of him."

Once his father finished, Jeremy helped his dad into the house again, before he came running out to join me. "Here's the key to the truck, and now I'll show you what I've done." Jeremy then opened the cap and lowered the tailgate so he could show me everything he'd packed inside.

"The tent is over there, and that's the camping stove. The cooking utensils are in the canvas bag and there are two lanterns in the other bag. There's the four sleeping bags, and that's my gear on top of them. I think you've already spotted the four 5-gallon [20 liter] water carriers, and the open space is for the food. Did I leave enough room?"

"Yes, you did an excellent job, but what's in the large plastic bag on the other side of the water carriers, next to the cab?"

"Oh, inside the bag is a portable toilet. My mom made my dad buy it or she wouldn't go camping with us. It's easy to set up and use, and I figured the guys would appreciate it."

"Actually, I think I'll appreciate it too."

"I'm glad, but now you can help me put the canoe and paddles on top of the other stuff." He then pointed at a metal canoe that was laying nearby and designed for three people.

"We won't all fit in that," I pointed out.

"No, but we can take turns using it. I know Paul has used one before, so we can teach the rest of you what to do. It will be fun and you'll enjoy it." I was sure I would, and so would the boys.

"Ok, as soon as we get that loaded we'll go pick up Paul and Simon. Chad's already at the house, because he thought he was supposed to meet us there."

"Figures. He's always getting things mixed up. He's a good guy and we're friends, but sometimes he can be a real doofus."

We went to fill up the gas tank first, and then we drove over to pick up the next two, and after they'd stored their gear in the back, including Paul's tent, we drove to the house. Reid and Chad came running out to greet us as soon as I pulled up.

"Ok, let's finish loading up," I urged. "You boys can carry the food out to me and I'll stack it inside."

Jeremy followed the other two, while I opened the cap, lowered the tailgate, and prepared for them to return. When Paul and Simon saw what was going on, they jumped out to help too, so we had it all loaded up in short order. Then, Reid carried out our gear to put inside next, and Chad handed me the two plastic containers with the sweet rolls before loading his gear. I set those where they wouldn't tip over and we could get to them easily when we stopped for gas later. I thought that would be a good time for us to use the rest rooms and take a quick break to grab a snack and a drink, and the sweet rolls would make a perfect snack.

As soon as we were ready to leave, I went to get in the driver's seat and Reid raced around to the other side so he could get in next to me. Jeremy then got in next to him, and Chad began to protest.

"Hey, I was gonna sit there."

"Chad, I'm sorry, but I'll need Jeremy in front to make sure I don't get lost," I responded. "He's been there before, so I'm going to use him as my navigator." I then handed Jeremy the map and directions he'd printed out for us. "These may help you, if you get confused."

Once that had been settled, the other three slid into the seat behind us. As soon as everyone was buckled in, I started the engine and put the truck in gear. Brad and Pam were standing on the front lawn watching us leave and waved as we drove away.

The first hour wasn't too bad, because the boys were all excited about doing this. However, the longer we were on the road, the more somber the mood grew. They weren't exactly cranky, but they certainly weren't as cheerful as when we left. By the time I pulled into a convenience store to fill the gas tank, the boys were more than ready to get out and stretch.

After pumping the gas, I went to use the rest room too, and we all purchased a drink before returning to the truck. I pulled away from the pump and parked in another area, and then I retrieved the sweet rolls and let the boys help themselves.

"These are good," Jeremy stated with his mouth still half full. "Did you make them?"

"No, Reid's mother did."

"You'll have to thank her for us when we get back," Simon added, "because they're really tasty and hit the spot."

They were all in a better mood when we started up again, and Jeremy offered a suggestion to pass the time. "I've got a couple of CDs in the glove box, if you don't mind me puttin' them in and playing 'em. I think it will help, because I know everyone likes the same music I do."

I was sure they did, but I was wondering if I would. "Ok, go ahead, as long as everyone else agrees."

That earned me an instant and emphatic response from the others, so Jeremy loaded the CDs and began playing them. Some of the boys even began to sing along, and even though it was playing louder than I would have liked, I overlooked that fact, seeing the boys were all enjoying it. That seemed to take care of the problem until we stopped for gas again.

"How much longer is this going to take?" Chad whined.

"We're almost there," Jeremy told him. "We only have to go a few more miles and we'll be there." Then, he turned to speak with me. "The grocery store I told you about is on the way, if you want to stop."

"That might not be a bad idea. I'm sure you boys would like one more decent meal before we switch over to the powdered, freeze dried, and canned food we brought with us."

They all agreed, so I filled the tank and then we used the rest rooms at the convenience store before I drove over to the grocery store to pick up a few things to take with us. I purchased some hot dogs, ground beef, and appropriate buns to go with them, along with a macaroni salad and some coleslaw.

"Do I need to buy mustard and ketchup too?" I asked Jeremy.

"No, I packed a plastic container of each with the other stuff, along with salt and pepper. Some of the other things we fix will taste better after we add that stuff to them."

I was pleased that he'd planned ahead, but his comment made me wonder which meals he was referring too. Now that we had everything, we loaded it in the truck and drove the final leg to the campsite.

Jeremy directed me from that point on, because I probably would have missed the turns, especially the one leading to the campsite. First, he had me turn off the county highway and onto a two-lane country road, and as we were rounding a slight bend, Jeremy told me to slow down and get ready to take a right. I didn't see any signs for the camp ground, but he had me turn onto a dirt trail that I would have thought was just something for a farmer and his tractor. There was a small sign about halfway up the slope that stated the property belonged to a private camping association. Jeremy assured me his father was a member, and he also said they'd let the association know we were coming at this time, so we wouldn't have any problems.

"This first area is where the people who come in RVs stay," Jeremy announced. "I guess there's electric outlets you can hook up to, but only if you know the security code." We drove a little farther before he spoke again. "These are the areas that campers who don't really know what they're doing use. They always just take the first open spot they come to, but my dad likes his privacy, so we always camp farther down the trail. Keep going and I'll tell you when to stop."

As I continued driving, I was wondering if we were going to run out of trail before he stopped me, but he eventually spoke again. "Over there is a good place, so pull off and park the truck. We'll check it out first, but I'm pretty sure we'll be able to find a good spot for both tents."

I was good with that, so I pulled over and parked the truck. We then got out and looked around for a couple of fairly flat areas that would suit our purpose. We eventually located two places that would do fine, but they weren't exactly close to each other. They were, however, the two best places to pitch the tents. Now that we knew where we were going to stay, we went back to the truck and retrieved Jeremy and Paul's tents so we could set them up. Then, we'd have to figure out who was going to sleep where.

Reid and I helped Jeremy with his tent, while Chad went over to give Paul and Simon a hand. As soon as we were done, Jeremy pulled me aside to say something.

"I imagine that you'd like to be in with Reid, and after watching him and Chad at your house, when we stopped for gas, and after we first got here, I think they'd like to be together too. I can tell that he and Chad are pretty close now, so I'm willing to let you three use my tent and I'll bunk in with Paul and Simon."

"Are you sure? I don't want you to feel like we're forcing you out of your own tent."

"Nah, I don't care, and I was the one who suggested it."

"I'm sure it will make them happy, so I'll thank you for all of us."

Jeremy then went over to talk to Paul, and once he'd agreed to this too, we placed all of our gear inside the tent we'd be using. I also made it a point to explain to Reid and Chad about what Jeremy had done, and then I encouraged them to thank him when they got a chance.

"I hope it didn't hurt his feelings," Chad stated, "cuz he was my best friend before I started hanging out with Reid."

"I'm not sure, but I think he realizes you two are close, so he's just trying to help out. I don't believe he suspects anything else is going on, other than that you two are good friends, and I think he still considers you a friend too."

"K, I'll try to let him know that I still want to be his friend as well."

Once that had been cleared up, I went to grab the things I'd bought at the grocery store and started to get dinner ready. Jeremy set up the camp stove and pulled out the various pieces of cookware for me, so I was soon able to prepare our meal. While I was doing that, I had Reid and Chad make two different flavors of Kool-Aid in the gallon pitchers I'd packed with our gear, but instead of using sugar, I had them use Splenda.

It didn't take very long to get everything ready, and then all the boys grabbed a paper plate, a plastic cup, and plastic utensils as they got ready to eat. After they'd taken what they wanted, we all sat down to enjoy the meal.

"I've got a box of trash bags I brought along," I advised them, "so I want each of you to put all of you trash in one of them when you're done eating."

"But don't throw any food in the bag," Jeremy warned. "If you do, it might attract wild animals. They can't smell the other stuff in the truck, at least not until we prepare it, so that won't be a problem, but they'll be drawn here if they smell any leftover food."

"So what do we do with what we don't eat?" Simon wanted to know.

"Just don't leave anything. Only take what you can eat and make sure there's nothing left," Jeremy replied.

"But what about what's left on the plates and the plastic forks?" Chad followed.

"Clean them off the best you can before you throw them in the trash. I've brought a rope along that I'll toss over a high branch so I can tie the garbage bag to it and lift it off the ground."

Everyone other than Paul looked surprise by this, but I think they were also impressed. Once they all understood the rules and we'd finished our meal, Paul and Jeremy each led a small group to collect firewood, so we could build a campfire. They both knew what they were doing, because they'd been camping before, so I asked them to keep track of the others. When they returned, they set the wood down and I'd start the fire just before it got dark.

Before we did anything else, Paul offered another word of warning. "Your sleeping bags are all rolled up and tied shut now, but I suggest you do the same thing to them in the morning. Either that or check your sleeping bag before you turn in at night, because snakes have been known to crawl inside them while you're out doing other things."

I think this made an impact too, so I doubted I'd have to remind anyone about that again or check to make sure they'd done it. I was suddenly glad that we had two experienced campers with us, not only because they had the tents and other items we needed, but also because of their knowledge. I certainly wasn't aware of those things and might have gotten us into trouble if they weren't here.

We then sat around and talked about the various things we might do tomorrow. Jeremy and Paul suggested we take a hike in one direction in the morning, and then go in the other direction after lunch, so we could familiarize ourselves with the area. I thought this was another good recommendation, so I agreed. Once that had been decided, I lit the campfire, and after it was going fairly well, I brought out two containers of Jiffy Pop and too hot pads.

"We'll save the S'mores for another night, but I figured you'd enjoy this too. Since each container has a metal handle, you'll need to use one of these so you don't get burned."

Simon and Chad volunteered to prepare the popcorn for us, and three people would share each one. As we were waiting for it to pop, Jeremy pointed out something else.

"We're the only ones here so far, and I hope it stays that way."

I'd been so preoccupied with everything that I'd failed to notice this, but he was right. We hadn't seen anyone since we got here, but was that because they'd just left or they hadn't arrived yet? I guess tomorrow might be a better indicator if we were going to be the only campers, because I was certain people would show up by then if they were planning to spend the week here.

After we enjoyed the popcorn, we talked for a while longer before deciding to turn in. Before we did that, though, Jeremy had something else for us. "Here's a lantern for your tent and I have one for our tent too. They're battery operated and you can adjust the brightness, just don't leave it on all night. It would probably last all week even if you did that, but it would be silly to waste the batteries that way."

I agreed and took the lantern from him. After we made sure the fire was out, we went to our tent to turn in. To my surprise, both boys stripped completely.

"I told you we can't do anything," I whispered, in case someone else was nearby.

"Yeah, we know," Reid said, "but we still want to do this. Paul told us it's what most campers do, even in the winter, because if they slept in their clothes they would suffer when they got up. Their bodies would have grown accustom to wearing them in the sleeping bag, so the clothes wouldn't keep them warm when they got out in the cold air."

"So you think they're all sleeping naked in the other tent too?"

"Yeah, Paul says he always does it, unless his mother or other girls are around."

"Hmmm. This camping trip may get more interesting than I anticipated."

We then got comfortable and I turned out the lantern so we could go to sleep. Before that happened, however, I felt both boys inching their sleeping bags closer to mine. They were sleeping on either side of me, like they did at home, but I wasn't sure why they were doing this. They might have been slightly scared of being out here in the wilderness knowing there were wild animals around too, or possibly they just wanted to be close to me. I didn't say anything, and before long they were as close as they could get without actually sharing my sleeping bag. Then, we all fell asleep wondering what the next day was going to be like.
