Chapter 46
Enjoying Nature

I woke up first in the morning, so I got dressed and went out to relieve myself before boiling some water to make a cup of instant coffee. Even though I would have rather had a cup of fresh brewed coffee instead, there was no sense in making a full pot, since none of the boys drank it, so I would tough it out for a week.

I'd been up for about a half hour before the boys in the other tent got up too, and I was amazed when they walked out of their tent. I noticed that they'd put something on their feet, but other than that they were completely naked. They merely moved away from their tent to empty their bladders and didn't act as if this was big deal or unusual. I wasn't sure if they were practicing nudists or if we'd simply reverted back to an early time when humans didn't wear anything. After each one finished draining the lizard, they walked over to speak with me next.

"When are we gonna have breakfast?" Paul wanted to know.

"I was just waiting for you guys to get up, and I'll start making it just as soon as I rouse the two in my tent."

"Good, cuz I'm hungry."

"Uhhh, I'm not a prude, but weren't you guys worried that there might be other people around here this morning?"

"Nah, we would have heard them drive in or seen the headlights, so we were pretty sure we were still alone."

"I see, and I can also see that none of you are very shy either."

"Why should we be? We're all guys," Jeremy pointed out, "but I wouldn't mind if a few good looking girls joined us."

"Yeah, that would be nice," Paul chimed in.

"Does our being naked bother you?" Simon asked.

"Not at all, but no one told me this was going to be a nudist camping trip." I laughed.

"I'm glad you don't mind, cuz you'll probably be seeing us like this a lot, unless other campers show up and spoil our fun," Jeremy added. "Doin' this makes me feel free, and I'm actually comfortable like this. Whenever just my dad and I came here and there was no one else nearby, we would do this too, and we'd even swim naked in the lake."

"That sounds like fun," Simon confessed. "I wouldn't mind doin' that too."

"I doubt the other boys would object to doing it either, so if no one else shows up then I'm sure you'll be able to give it a try."

"Will you do it with us?" Paul asked.

"Sure, why not? When in Rome, do as the Romans." The boys laughed.

"I'm glad Reid talked you into comin' with us," Paul stated. "Did they sleep naked too, cuz I told Reid that we usually did."

"Yes, we all slept like that too. I'll admit that I was a little surprised when they suggested it, but then Reid told me what you'd said. It made sense, so we all got naked too."

"Neat. Reid didn't tell us you were so much fun," Paul quipped.

"Hey, I can still remember being a teen too, and it's possible I've never grown up. I've been accused of that on more than one occasion."

While they were laughing at my comment, I went to wake Reid and Chad before I started making breakfast. "Come on you two, everyone else is up already. They're standing outside totally naked and waiting for me to fix something to eat."

I think the mention of the others being naked did more to get them out of their sleeping bags than the mention of food, but holding two carrots in front of them did the trick. They were soon putting something on their feet, and then they ran out of the tent too.

"Hey, those things look loaded," Jeremy quipped when he saw their morning wood. "Move away from the tents and find a tree to water."

"Just make sure there aren't any squirrels around, though," Paul teased. "I think they're already gathering nuts for the winter."

Reid and Chad were laughing as they went to urinate, and when they finished they came back to join us. I was busy making them something to eat and was a little surprised that the boys just stood around chatting with me and each other until it was ready. Once they'd chowed down and were full, we decided to get dressed so we could go on a hike. We reasoned that we shouldn't do it naked, because we weren't sure if we'd run into someone else along the way. We also knew there were other things around where we'd be going, both plant and animal, and we didn't want to expose our entire body to any of them. Once we were ready, Jeremy led us as we checked out the area, since he'd been here before and knew where he was going.

Over the next couple of hours, we explored half of the camp ground. It was basically a very rural area, most of it wooded, but there were a few open spaces too. We noted some places that we'd like to check out more thoroughly later, but we also realized there weren't any signs of civilization nearby. Other than the town we'd driven through on the way here, there was just us and nature.

When we got back to the campsite, we were all hot and sweaty from the lengthy hike, so the boys told me they wanted to go swimming next. Of course they wanted to do it naked too, so we all stripped down and tossed our clothes in the tents before heading down to the water.

"Not bad," Paul teased when he saw my dick for the first time. "I'm into chicks, not dicks, but you've got a pretty awesome piece of meat danglin' between your legs."

I thanked him, and then we all followed Jeremy down to the wooden dock and dove in. As I was frolicking around in the water with the boys, Jeremy pointed out that there were several docks spread out along this side of the lake. He said they were there for the guys who came with boats and canoes so they could go fishing, but added that they were good for swimming too. "That way you don't have to wade through the mud first, just to get into the water."

We stayed in the lake until the boys started complaining that they were hungry again, and then we got out and started walking back to the tents. Along the way, I thought to myself that they always seemed to be hungry, but I guess that was just part of being a teenage boy.

After I fed the troops, we sat around and rested for a while, and then Jeremy thought it was time to explain about the portable toilet to the others. "We'll keep it behind our tent and you can use it there. It's pretty much like the toilets at home, without the water supply and sewer connection."

"Won't the smell bother you guys if it's behind your tent?" Chad wondered.

"Once you've finished, the waste is emptied into an air tight tank, so that takes care of the smell. It has a deodorizer too, so we shouldn't notice anything unusual."

"I'm glad you brought it," Simon confessed. "I was wonderin' if I'd have to crap in the woods and wipe with leaves."

"Not this time, but if you ever go where you have to do that, then learn to recognize poison ivy first," Jeremy teased.

After our little discussion, Reid brought out the Frisbees and the boys began tossing them around. Shortly after they started doing that, Simon jogged to his tent and brought out a Nerf football.

"Hey, did you get that out of my duffel, cuz I brought one of those too," Paul stated.

"Of course you did, since we spend so much time throwing them back and forth when we're together," Simon quipped in return.

Paul went to get his Nerf football too, and then the air was dotted with Frisbees and footballs being tossed back and forth. Of course, I joined in too, and it was a lot of fun because these guys turned everything into a competition. I also enjoyed watching their dicks flop around as they jogged to catch the object thrown to them, seeing we'd continued to remain naked.

I thought I heard an engine in the distance while we were doing this and suggested it might be time to put something on, but it turned out that wasn't necessary. The noise I'd heard was only the sound of a car traveling over the country road we took to get here, but since it never slowed down to turn into this place, Jeremy assured us we were safe – at least for a while.

After that little scare, Reid suggested we play Frisbee tag next, and the boys all thought it was a good idea. The only problem was that they threw the Frisbees with more force than Ashley or Evan, so it stung when it hit. Then again, that minor problem might have had something to do with being naked as well, since there was no clothing to absorb some of the blow. I sucked it up and chose not to act like a wuss, though, and we continued playing Frisbee tag until I stopped to fix dinner. I was surprised that I'd thought of doing this before the boys said something about being hungry. I guess they must have been having so much fun they temporarily either ignored or forgot about their growling stomachs. Go figure!

After dinner, Jeremy pointed out that we hadn't taken our second hike, so we agreed to do that in the morning. In the meantime, the boys went out to collect more wood so we could have another campfire. While they were doing that, some of them happened upon a stash of wood that someone else had obviously left behind. It was too bad for those people, though, because we took it all to use while we were here, so we probably wouldn't have to come up with too much more wood before we left.

Later, while we were sitting around the campfire, the boys suggested that I bring out one of the variety packs of munchies so they could each take what they wanted. They immediately began to scarf down the contents of their bag, and after they finished eating, they started telling ghost stories. Unfortunately, the stories turned out to be more silly than scary, but in a way that was good. At least now I wouldn't have to deal with a frightened boy in the middle of the night.

When it began to grow late, we went to our tents and turned in. Since we were already naked, we didn't have to strip down, and as soon as we were all zipped up in our sleeping bags, Reid and Chad began wiggling closer to me again. This time, however, Reid slipped an arm out of his sleeping bag and draped it over my chest. When Chad saw what Reid had done, he rolled onto his side and did the same thing. I just wondered how they would explain it if one of the other boys came over to our tent before we got up in the morning, but obviously that hadn't occurred to them.

I was the first one up again, so I performed the same ritual as before, although this time I had everything ready so I could fix breakfast as soon as the boys were awake. After we'd eaten, we got dressed in preparation for the next hike, which proved to be very similar to the previous one. The only difference was that this time there was much more open space, but there was still no one else around, either at the camp ground or in the surrounding area. I guess we'd chosen our dates wisely.

After we finished our hike, the boys wanted to go skinny dipping again, so we shed our garments and headed to the lake. We swam until lunchtime, and then after we ate, Jeremy suggested we take the canoe out next.

"Have you ever done this before?" he asked me directly.

"Yes, after college I went on a trip with some of my friends to one of the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. We took the canoes out every day for a week, so I'm fairly used to being in one."

"Have you ever been in the rear position and acted as the rudder to direct where the canoe was going?" he followed.

"Yes, my friends taught me how to do that as well."

"Then if you want, you can take Reid and Chad out with you, and I'll go with Paul and Simon."

"Sure, but the next time we use the canoes, I think we should go out in different groups, so we're not always with the same guys."

He concurred, but he also agreed that we should get dressed before doing this, because we might run into someone from the other side of the lake. Even though it was quite wide, Jeremy wanted us to paddle across it before returning. That sounded good to me, so I went to tell Reid and Chad what we were going to do.

It took about an hour and a half to make the round trip to the other side of the lake, and we were pretty tired by the time we returned and switched with the other group. Once we'd rested briefly, Chad suggested what we could do next.

"We know they're not going to be back for over an hour, so let's go to our tent and have some fun."

"What exactly did you have in mind?" I asked, wondering how far he wanted to go.

"I was gonna say Reid and I could fuck each other like we did before when we were with you, but that wouldn't be fair. Only one of us would get to do it, especially if the other two sucked each other off, and if we didn't do it that way, it wouldn't be fair to you."

"And I also didn't bring the lube," I added.

"That too, so what if you suck us off and then we'll do it to you?"

"Reid, I assume you want to do this too?" I reasoned, and Reid nodded his head to show my assumption was correct. "Ok, we can do that if you want, but let's take a quick dip in the lake to rinse off the sweat first."

After spending ten minutes in the water, we got out and shook most of the water off our bodies, like a dog after it had gotten wet. Once we were fairly dry, we went back to the tent and used our towels quickly, before getting started. I sucked each of the boys off, with the other one helping by massaging the scrotum of the boy I was working on and fingering his hole, and then they did the same to me.

After we'd each enjoyed a release, I went outside and started getting things ready for dinner. I had a feeling the other boys would be hungry and ready to eat by the time they got back, so I planned to be ready for them when they returned.

They didn't show up for another twenty minutes, but I had everything ready and merely had to cook it when they showed up. While I was doing that, they took a quick dip in the lake to rinse off too, and they only got out when I sent Reid down to tell them dinner was ready.

"That was pretty awesome," Simon admitted while we were enjoying our meal. "I'd never been in a canoe before today."

"Me either," Reid agreed, "but it sure tired me out."

"You'd get used to it after a while," Paul stated, "and it wouldn't take so much out of you."

"I'm sure I'd end up with some pretty good muscles if I did that a lot," Chad pointed out.

"Definitely," Jeremy agreed.

Since we'd all worked up a healthy appetite throughout the day, dinner disappeared in no time at all and I let the boys have some cookies for dessert. Later, when we started the campfire, I thought it would be a good time for a special treat.

"I think tonight would be a good time to make S'mores. Have you all done that before?"

"Make them?" Simon asked. "We just buy the cookies at the store."

"No, I mean the kind you make outdoors around a campfire. It's something you might have done at camp." I was blown away when I discovered that Chad and Simon had never even eaten a traditional S'more before. "Then you're in for a treat. While I'm getting what we'll need, I want each of you to get a twig that you can roast a marshmallow on. It's better if the twig is green, because then it will be less likely to catch fire."

"I'll get you a twig too, Uncle Quinn," Reid offered.

"Thanks. I appreciate that."

I then retrieved the box of Graham crackers, three Hershey chocolate bars, and a bag of marshmallows from the truck. When I returned, I told the boys what to do next. "First, I'll give each of you a marshmallow and you can put it on your twig, but don't start roasting it yet."

When they had done that, I told them what to do next. "Now, I want each of you to take a Graham cracker and break it in half. Then, you'll double up and I'll give each pair a chocolate bar to share, with each of you taking half. Put the chocolate between the two halves of the Graham cracker and hold it in one hand, while you roast the marshmallow over the fire with the other. I think this works best if you merely brown the marshmallow, but don't hold it too close to the flames or it might catch fire. Once the marshmallow is done the way you want it, place it on top of the chocolate and then cover it with the top Graham cracker. When you've done that, pull out the twig and it's ready for you to enjoy."

The boys followed my directions and made the S'mores, but we had a couple of accidents along the way with marshmallows falling off the twigs and landing in the fire. I quickly replaced the lost item for each boy it happened to, so he could start over, but eventually we all succeeded in putting our treats together.

"Damn, this is good!" Simon acknowledged after his first bite.

"I can't believe nobody ever told me about these before," Chad followed.

"Well, it's never too late to learn and enjoy," I replied.

"Can we make another one?" Reid asked next.

"Sure, but I'll have to go get three more chocolate bars from my stash," I joked. "If you don't want to make another S'more, then you can just have a plain Graham cracker if you want. We'll save the rest of the supplies so we can do this again later in the week."

I wasn't surprised that all of them decided to make another S'more, but I merely ate my half of the Hershey bar. We also had a glass of Kool-Aid to wash it down, and after another round of stories we headed to our tents and turned in.

I felt it was pretty much a given that the boys would be tightly wedged against me as I fell asleep, but I looked at this as a bonus. It was nice to know they both felt close to me, and I slept very peacefully being the monkey in the middle. It also led to some very interesting dreams, and I was having a very realistic one when my internal clock told me it was time to get up.

As I opened my eyes, I discovered that I hadn't been dreaming after all. Reid and Chad were already hard at work and giving me a tag-team blowjob. "Just because we did this earlier, when we were alone, we shouldn't be doing anything else while we're here," I said in a loud whisper.

"We just thought you'd enjoy it, and well... that maybe you'd be willing to do it to us again too," Chad explained in a similar hushed tone.

"And we're pretty sure the other guys have been jackin' off in their tent," Reid added, also speaking softly.

"Masturbating is one thing, but I don't think you would want to be caught doing this."

"They won't come over here, so please let us finish and then you can do it to us," Chad pleaded.

"Look, if you want I'll go start breakfast and you can take care of each other."

"Won't you suck us off instead?" Reid begged, so I thought about this quickly.

"Only if somebody is standing guard so we don't get caught doing it," I relented. "Whoever isn't involved will have to peek out the flap to make sure no one else is heading this way. If you'll do that and you promise to keep the noise down, then I suppose we could give it a try."

They were both thrilled and agreed to my proposal, so Reid moved over to take the first watch. We knew we had to hurry, because the others usually woke up as early as I did, but somehow we all managed to get off before that happened. The other group probably slept later today due to the fact that they were tired from the workout yesterday, but it gave us time to finish before we heard them moving around. I just hoped none of them smelled cum on our breath once we were all together.

After I'd fixed breakfast and we'd all eaten, Paul spoke up. "Me and Simon want to check out the lake today and plan to paddle completely around it so we can see everything. What do you guys think about doin' that?"

"I'm not sure how big the lake is, but wouldn't it take a long time to paddle all the way around it?" I asked.

"Nah, my dad and I did it in like three hours," Jeremy explained. "One group could do it before lunch and the other after lunch."

"Is that what everyone wants to do then?" The boys were all nodding or voicing their agreement, so I relented.

"Since you said we should start mixing up the groups, why don't you go with Simon and Paul, and I'll take Chad and Reid with me later," Jeremy suggested.

"Is that ok with everyone?" I asked, and once again they all gave an affirmative response. "Ok, then I'm game too."

Since Paul had the most experience, I let him sit in the rear and put Simon in the middle. We then set out on our rather lengthy trip around the lake. This was definitely more tiring than the previous outing, but it was also twice as far, or maybe even longer, so my arms were getting sore by the time we returned. I was using muscles I hadn't worked in quite a while, so I knew I'd be paying for it later.

When we got back to the campsite, I was greeted with a nice surprise. Since Jeremy knew I'd be tired, he and Reid fixed lunch, so we all sat down to eat. I thanked them several times, since I knew I wouldn't have felt up to doing anything until after I'd rested, plus I was starving too. I guess that was their way of paying me back for doing this for them.

After the other group took off, I sat around and I chatted with Paul and Simon for a while and got to know them a little better. As I learned more about each one, I realized why Reid had become friends with them, because they were really nice guys. In fact, I was beginning to like them too.

When our strength finally began to return, the boys suggested we strip down and go swimming again. I was agreeable to doing it for a little while, if only to wash off the sweat, but I wasn't sure how long I'd stay in the water. I was afraid that my arms would give out fairly quickly, since they were so sore, but just the opposite happened. The cool water helped to soothe my aching muscles, so I was feeling much better by the time we got out of the lake again.

As we were sitting around drying off and chatting afterward, I caught Simon staring at my penis on more than one occasion. I'm not sure if he realized that I knew what he was doing, but I definitely got the impression that he might be bi or gay too. Jeremy and Paul had both made it clear that they were straight, but I now had my doubts about Simon. I'd have to ask Reid and Chad if they had ever gotten this vibe from him, but I'd do it discretely and ask them not to mention it to anyone else.

Eventually, I started fixing dinner so it would be ready by the time the others returned. As they were pulling the canoe onto shore, I noticed that Chad and Reid looked totally beat, even worse than I'd felt after doing that. I told them to rest up until we ate, and then after dinner we'd go for a swim. They began to object to my recommendation, but I countered by telling them it would help to make their tired muscles feel better, because that's what it did for me. They gave in, and after we finished eating they walked with me down to the lake for another swim.

We did that for a half hour, and since it was getting late, we decided it was time to get out and dry off. While we were doing that, Reid had something to say.

"You were right, it did help. I'm still tired, but my muscles don't ache quite as much as before."

"That's good, or it might have prevented you from getting a good night's sleep tonight."

"Nah, I'm beat, so I won't have any trouble at all."

"Maybe not now, but aching muscles could have still kept you up."

While we were sitting around the campfire, I brought out the nuts to snack on tonight. "You guys told me you wanted some nuts, so I've got a wide selection for you to choose from. There are honey roasted peanuts, regular peanuts, cashews, almonds, pecans, and pistachios. Help yourself to whatever you'd like, but I suggest you sample each of them. You might find you like one that you've never tried before."

As the boys shelled the peanuts and pistachios so they could eat the contents, they tossed the shells into the fire. That had never crossed my mind and I was just going drop them on the ground, since they're biodegradable. I thought their solution was much better, though, so I did it too.

When we went to our tent, I expected Reid and Chad to start begging to do something sexual again, but they were obviously too tired from what they'd done earlier. They merely crawled into their sleeping bags, slid closer to mine, and they were sound asleep within a few minutes. Before I fell asleep, I wondered if they were going to pull the same stunt tomorrow morning, but I guess I'd have to wait and see.

To my surprise, both boys were still sleeping when I awoke. It appeared they were still exhausted from the previous day's workout, so I wondered what we might do today. I went out and began to get things ready to fix breakfast, so I'd be prepared when the others woke up.

It was no surprise that the other tent woke up first, so I had to send one of the boys over to our tent to rouse Reid and Chad. Simon volunteered to do it for me, possibly so he could see the other's pairs morning wood up close. He returned when Chad and Reid went to water a tree and admitted something to me.

"They weren't easy to wake up, but I guess I wasn't either this mornin'. Paul and Jeremy had to shake me a coupe of times before I got out of my sleeping bag, because I was still whipped from yesterday."

"Don't feel badly. I didn't do much better," I admitted.

Once we'd all finished eating, some of the boys began asking what we were going to do today. "There's a fire tower a few miles from here and I thought we could hike there," Jeremy explained. "If no one's around then we can climb it, because it will gave us a spectacular view of the area."

"Won't it be locked?" Reid asked.

"Probably the observation deck on top will be, but even if it is, we can climb up as high as we can and enjoy the view."

"Will we get in trouble if we do that?" Chad followed.

"Only if we get caught, but they'll probably just give us a warning, if we don't break into the observation deck."

I wasn't so sure about doing this, but I didn't see any harm in hiking there and checking it out. I'd make a final determination once I saw it, and after I'd checked to see whether there was anyone else around.

We've been very lucky so far, because the weather has been absolutely fantastic. It was another lovely and sunny day as we followed Jeremy to the fire tower, so even if we didn't get a chance to do anything else, it was still worth the effort. When we got close enough so I could actually see it, I was slightly taken aback. It must have been four or five stories tall, with a metal staircase that wound its way up the metal supports until it reached the observation deck at the top. It was impressive, but now it was time to make a decision about how far we would go.

We couldn't see anyone around, and there didn't seem to be anyone on the observation deck either. I was amazed that it was so open and there weren't any barriers to prevent us from doing what Jeremy had suggested.

"Are we gonna climb it?" Reid asked.

"I don't see why not, but let's look around first and make sure we haven't missed anything, or anyone."

After a brief, but thorough, investigation of the area, we saw nothing that changed my mind. Therefore, I led the boys as we began to climb up the tower. Jeremy had been correct and the observation deck was locked, and I certainly didn't plan on breaking in. We merely enjoyed the scenery as we stood on the staircase and looked out over the surrounding area, including the lake. The boys thought they could see our tents too, but I wasn't as fortunate. I guess maybe my eyes weren't as good as theirs, either that or they were merely imagining seeing the tents.

After I felt we'd done this long enough, and since I wanted to get out of there before anyone else showed up, I directed the boys to climb down again. Once we reached the ground, I asked Jeremy to lead us back to camp.

The hike had taken longer than we'd anticipated, so it was already past lunchtime when we returned. Jeremy and Reid helped me whip up a quick lunch, and then we rested for a while after we ate. Once we felt a little better, we went down to the lake for another swim, eager to wash away the dirt and sweat from the hike. It proved to be just as relaxing and refreshing as the day before, so we all felt better when we got out.

After dinner we chose to throw the Frisbees and Nerf footballs around for a while, and then we lit another campfire. I brought out more containers of Jiffy Pop, and this time Jeremy and Reid offered to pop them for us.

Rather than telling ghost stories, the boys talked about the fire tower instead and speculated what it would be like to be a ranger and spend an entire day, or a week, up there. When they grew tired of talking, we said goodnight to each other and headed to our tents.

"I hope you're gonna let us do something tonight," Chad stated once I'd closed the flap.

"Sure, I'm going to let you sleep," I joked, but Chad didn't find it funny.

"You know what I mean," he shot back, mildly irritated.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Can we suck each other off again?"

"Ok, but you'll have to keep the noise down. Sound seems to travel better at night."

"Yeah, we can do that."

I thought they might want to form a triangle and do it that way, but they had other ideas. They wanted me to suck them off and use my fingers to massage their prostates while they kissed or worked on each other's nipples. They promised that just as soon as I'd take care of both of them, they would do the same thing to me, so I agreed and we got underway.

They seemed totally satisfied by the time we crawled into our sleeping bags afterward, and once again they draped their arms over my chest and cuddled up next to me as we fell asleep.

Chapter 47
All Good Things Must Come to an End

When we finished breakfast on Thursday morning, we talked about what we were going to do next. A couple of the boys wanted to check out one of the areas we'd seen during our hike on Monday, because we'd spotted a couple of crude shelters there. Since there was some disagreement over who might have made them, they wanted to take a closer look.

For my part, I assumed the shelters had been made by some campers who'd grown bored and were hoping to do something more exciting while staying at the camp ground. The shelters might have even been constructed by some bored kids, but the boys had a different theory. Since their minds were much more creative and open to unconventional ideas, they'd concluded the shelters had been made by Bigfoot, or some equally scary creature. I obviously didn't agree with their analysis and wanted to take them back for a closer look, hopefully so I could convince them they were wrong.

When we came to the first shelter, which had been constructed in a cluster of bushes located near a small grove of trees, we studied it more closely. Whoever had made it had used parts of the other bushes, along with a few slender branches taken from various trees in the area to put it together. It was in the shape of a horseshoe and basically closed in on three sides, so the only opening was overlooking a small field.

"If you ask me, this looks like a blind a hunter might use to keep from being spotted by his prey," I told them.

"It also looks like something I saw on a TV program and was suspected of being a nest built by Bigfoot," Simon disagreed.

I merely rolled my eyes and wondered which theory the other boys agreed with as we went inside to investigate the interior of the shelter. After looking around for a minute, Jeremy found something that he brought to our attention.

"Hey, there's a candy bar wrapper in here that someone wadded up and threw away."

"I suspect the candy bar was eaten by the hunter or youngster who made this shelter, and then he just tossed the wrapper aside after he'd finished eating it," I reasoned.

"Look here. There's some hair or fur stuck to one of the branches," Chad observed. "I don't think this belonged to a hunter or someone else."

"He might have killed something and brought it in here for a short time while waiting to get something else. Either that, or a curious animal may have come inside to check the place out too, but I doubt an animal built it."

"It could be fur from a Bigfoot or something else," Reid added, so I grabbed whatever it was so I could examine it in the light.

"This actually looks like rabbit fur," I offered. "Besides, it's too light in color to be from Bigfoot, since those claiming to have seen one have always stated it has dark brown or reddish-brown fur."

The boys then looked more closely at what I held in my hand so they could examine it too. "But something other than a person could have made this shelter," Simon countered.

"Yes, I guess it could have been an alien for all we know," I joked. "Maybe E.T. built it so he could study the campers."

"Now you're just making fun of us," Chad snapped.

"No, I'm just throwing out another explanation that's just as plausible as the idea that Bigfoot made the shelter, since no one has proven the existence of Bigfoot OR space aliens."

Chad merely glared at me and shook his head, so I took it that he disagreed with my analogy. Since there was nothing more to be seen in the shelter, I suggested we check out the other one.

The second shelter was different in two ways. First, it was located beneath some trees, not in bushes, but it was also constructed differently. This shelter was merely a lean-to that was only about waist high at the highest point, so either it was made for sleeping, or designed to keep someone hidden while he sat and observed. Again, it would have worked nicely for a hunter to use, but previous experience had taught me that not all of the boys would accept my conclusion. I let them look around instead, hoping they might find something that would convince them. I was just about ready to give up on the idea that this was going to happen when Paul pointed out something.

"Look at this branch that was used to make the shelter. You can see it has cut marks that were made by an ax or hatchet." He then pointed out the evidence that led him to draw this conclusion.

"Ok, maybe this one was made by a person, but it doesn't mean the other one was too," Simon objected. He was apparently the most resolute in his conviction that the other shelter had been made by Bigfoot.

The boys wanted to look around and see if they could find another shelter, but the sky had been growing increasingly overcast to the point where it began to rain. We decided to head back to the tents instead, in case it started raining harder.

We barely made it back before the sky opened up in a veritable cloudburst. Seeing we'd all stayed together while making our way back to camp, all of the boys followed me into our tent, so we stayed there to wait out the storm. Since it didn't look like that was going to happen soon, I offered a suggestion to pass the time.

"I put a deck of playing cards in my duffle bag, in case something like this happened, so does anyone want to play cards?" I asked.

"Would you teach us how to play poker?" Chad responded.

"I suppose I could, if that's what you all want to do," I agreed.

"Yeah, we can play strip poker," Simon suggested with a grin.

"That doesn't make very much sense, seeing there are no girls here we can get naked and we've already seen each other without anything on," Jeremy reasoned.

"But it will be good practice for when we can do something like that," Simon relented.

I had a feeling he'd only said that to maintain his cover, because I suspected that he wanted to gawk at our naked bodies some more. In fact, maybe he got a special thrill out of watching guys take off their clothes and it wasn't just from seeing them naked. Anyway, the others agreed to play poker, so I went over the various winning hands first, from lowest to highest. I wasn't sure if they'd remember everything I told them, but I figured it might sink in better after actually playing.

"There are a lot of different types of poker, so I won't be able to teach you all of the variations. I'll just instruct you in three of them. We'll start with five-card stud, and once you have that down I'll teach you five-card draw. Once you understand those, I'll go over Texas hold'em."

I then explained the first game to them, and we played a couple of practice hands just to make sure they understood. I also tried to explain when they should stay in a hand and when to fold, but I had a feeling they were all going to stay in, no matter what cards they were dealt.

"So how do we bet?" Chad wanted to know.

"Normally you would bet various items of clothing as the cards are dealt, with the winner taking all. To make it easy, anyone who doesn't win will give up one article of clothing for losing the hand."

"What if some of us are wearing more clothes than the rest?" Chad pressed.

"Then we'll just make sure you're all betting with the same amount of garments," I reasoned.

After we talked it over, we decided that everyone would have five items of clothing to bet: pants/shorts, shirt, underwear, socks, and shoes. It meant anyone losing five hands would be naked, but no one had a problem with that since we'd been naked most of the time anyway. In fact, I think this was just an excuse for us to get naked again, and I was sure the winner would also strip once we stopped playing.

Seeing the rain never let up, we played five-card stud until we had a winner and everyone else was naked. Then, we got dressed again and started over playing five-card draw until we had another winner. When it was time to play Texas hold'em, I had the boys take back their clothes, but this time they didn't bother to put them on. They merely kept them at their side and tossed an item in when they lost, and we played until we had a winner. I think the boys were upset that I'd won all three games.

"Of course you'd win," Reid stated. "You already knew how to play and we were just learning."

"Hey, doing this wasn't my idea, so don't get mad at me just because I won."

"So take the rest of your clothes off and we'll go for a swim," Simon suggested. I think this just proved my point that he liked seeing us all naked.

When we looked out the flap to see what the weather was like, we noticed the rain was now no more than a drizzle, and since we were going to get wet while swimming anyway, it wasn't a problem. I have to admit that I was somewhat surprised that rain was all we've had to deal with, because I'd been expecting a thunderstorm. I figured it was what would have normally happened after experiencing so many warm days in a row, but I was actually glad that hadn't happened. I wouldn't have wanted to expose the boys to possibly being hit by a lightning strike.

On the way down to the lake, I suddenly came to a realization. It was well past lunchtime, but no one had complained that he was hungry. We hadn't stopped to fix anything when we came back because it had been raining, but I would have thought the boys might have said something by the time we emerged from the tent. Judging from past experience, eating should have been at the top of their 'to do' list after the rain stopped, but no one said anything about food. I decided to remain quiet and wait to see who would be the first to complain.

We'd been swimming for about twenty minutes before someone finally said something. "Hey, my stomach just growled and it made me realize we haven't had anything to eat since breakfast," Paul stated.

"That's right!" Reid agreed.

"How come you didn't remind us?" Chad wanted to know.

"I shouldn't have to remind you when you're ready to eat, but I didn't stop to fix anything because it was raining when we came back. I also expected the rain might turn into a thunderstorm, and I didn't want to be messing around with the camp stove or using metal pots if it began to lightning."

"Yeah, but you could have reminded us when the rain stopped," Chad reasoned.

"Hey, if you didn't know you were hungry, then why should I be the one to tell you?" He looked at me oddly. "If you want, I'll fix an early and slightly larger dinner than usual, seeing it's about halfway between the time we would have normally had those two meals."

"Yeah, let's do that," Jeremy chimed in. "And if there are any more cookies and chips, then we can have those around the campfire later."

"Do you think the wood will be dry enough to do that?" Reid wondered.

"Yeah, once we get the fire started, the wood should burn fine," Jeremy confirmed. "I doubt it will have absorbed very much moisture from the storm, so it should still be dry enough, as long as it doesn't rain again."

As soon as we got out of the water and dried off, Jeremy and Reid helped me fix dinner. We actually fixed some of the things we were going to have for lunch too, so there was plenty of food for them to stuff themselves. It should definitely hold them over until it was time to have our snack later, and the boys all seemed satisfied doing this. There was also nothing left over when it was time to clean up.

Seeing we had a lot of time remaining until it got dark, I asked the boys what they wanted to do next. "We could play with the Frisbees and Nerf footballs again," Simon offered.

"Or we could take a walk down and see if anyone is at the other campsites, including the RV area," Jeremy suggested.

"If we do that, then I think we'll need to put something on first," I teased.

"Who knows, if anyone's there they might enjoy the show," Jeremy quipped back.

"Either that or they'll call the cops," I countered.

"Jeremy, is there anything else that we could check out, like we did with the fire tower?" Reid wanted to know.

"My dad once told me that there's an old mining camp about a mile [1½ km] west of the fire tower, but he never took me there. He said the miners once looked for gold there, but he's not sure if they found anything. It's the only other thing I know about, though."

"Do you think you could take us there?" Chad asked.

"My dad told me where it is, so I could probably find it."

"Could we get there and back before it got dark?" Paul wondered.

"Yeah, it's still early enough to do that."

"Can we go there, Uncle Quinn?" Reid followed.

"I guess we could do that, if you all wanted to, but I'm not going to let you explore any mines. That would be too dangerous, but I'm willing to go see what else is there."

The boys wanted to do this, so we got dressed to take another hike. Once we were ready, Jeremy led the way and started out over the same path we'd taken to get to the fire tower. About halfway there, though, he veered off and headed in a slightly different direction.

We kept following him and I watched as he checked for the various landmarks that his father told him were along the way. I was beginning to think we weren't going to find anything when Jeremy made a comment.

"I think that's it over there," he said as he pointed at something in the distance.

We continued moving in that direction and soon discovered an old shack that had seen better days. Most of the roof had caved in and the windows and door were merely holes in the walls, but I found it surprising that it was standing at all. As we began to investigate the location, the boys spotted various items laying around on the ground that had been discarded long ago. There was what was left of a rusting lantern and some broken tools that had once been used there, including the head of a pickaxe and the lower half of a shovel. They also spotted an old mining car that was missing a wheel near the boarded up entrance to an old mine.

"I don't want you boys to go anywhere near that area," I warned. "Any timbers that were used to shore it up are probably rotting and crumbling by now, and different animals may have moved in there and made it their home, once it was abandoned."

"But it's boarded up and some dirt has fallen and is partially covering the opening too," Simon observed.

"There's still a few gaps where it's boarded up, so maybe a bear couldn't have snuck inside, but other animals might have, such as a fox, skunk, snakes, or other small creatures."

I think that was enough to convince them to stay away from there, so we just looked around for a little while longer. I was trying to keep an eye on the boys when I heard the snarling cry of a wild animal.

"What the hell was that?" someone asked, but I was busy looking for the source of the noise and didn't recognize who'd spoken.

"I believe it was a mountain lion that doesn't like us being here," I said as I looked around for something I could use as a weapon. I settled on grabbing what remained of the head of the pickaxe.

The boys must have noticed what I was doing, because I saw them picking up rocks and large pieces of wood they could use if necessary, but I determined it was time to get out of there.

"Jeremy, will you lead us back to the campsite? I'll stay at the rear and make sure the mountain lion doesn't try to sneak up on us, but I want all of you to keep your eyes open for any signs of movement too. The mountain lion might try sneaking around in search of a smaller target."

Jeremy did as I asked and the boys followed behind him, all moving at a fairly swift pace. They weren't running, but they were walking very fast, since they wanted to get away from a possible confrontation with a wild animal. I kept up with them, although I continued to look around and kept glancing over my shoulder for any signs of danger. I doubted the mountain lion would be likely to attack so many of us, but I suspect if it was hungry enough it might try, so I didn't let down my guard.

The boys didn't slow down until we were nearly back at camp, and then they began to talk about what had happened. "Damn, I nearly crapped my pants when I heard that thing growl!" Chad admitted.

"Yeah, that was scary," Simon admitted. "I'm just glad I wasn't alone at the time."

"I hope you all realize that there's always a chance of running into a wild animal whenever you're investigating areas such as this, so it's wise to remain alert," I advised them.

"I think I've been on enough hikes for now, so I'll keep close to our tent until we leave," Reid confessed.

The other boys agreed with his logic, and we were soon back at the campsite. The first thing we did when we got there was to light the campfire. It would be getting dark soon and the boys wanted to be able to see the mountain lion if it happened to follow us back, and they went to get the lanterns too, in case we heard anything. We finally succeeded in getting the fire started just as the sun was disappearing, so I went to get the cookies and the other variety pack of munchies for us to snack on. I was certain the boys must have worked up an appetite while they were on the hike, because I had, so I felt this would keep them satisfied until morning.

As we were sitting around the campfire and filling up on junk food, I asked the boys what they wanted to do the following day, since it would be our last one here.

"How about we take another canoe trip around the lake," Chad suggested. "At least we won't have to worry about being attacked by a wild animal while we're doing that."

"True. I doubt there are any sharks or giant squid in the lake that might think of us as a snack," I joked. It caused the boys to groan.

"I think that's a great idea," Paul agreed. "So who will be going out together this time?"

"I haven't gone with Jeremy yet," I responded, "so I think we should be in the same canoe this time."

"And I'd like to be with Jeremy too, since we haven't spent much time together lately," Chad announced.

Everyone else seemed satisfied with our requests, although I think Reid may have wanted to be with me too, but he agreed to go with Paul and Simon. Seeing that was settled, we finished eating and put everything away so we could head to our tents. When we got there, Reid made a suggestion.

"Me and Chad were hopin' you'd let us sleep closer to you tonight."

"You two have been as close as you could possibly get without actually getting into my sleeping bag with me."

"That's sorta what we want to do," Chad confirmed. "It's not cold out, so we were thinking we could unzip all three sleeping bags and put one on the ground that we could all lay on, and then we could pull the other two over us."

I thought about this for a second before I responded. "I take it you want skin-to-skin contact with me when we do this, but what else are you hoping for?"

"We wouldn't mind if you sucked us off again," Chad answered.

"I suppose we could do that, but you'll have to keep the noise down. Since the others have never come over here after dark, I think we should be safe."

The boys were thrilled and we quickly set up the sleeping bags the way they'd suggested. I opened mine up and spread it out so we could all lay on it, and then they got their sleeping bags ready to place over us. Before we did that, though, they wanted me to suck them off before they did the same to me. I was happy to go along with their request, so we got started.

They agreed that Reid would go first tonight, so I began working on him, while Chad kissed him and sucked on his nipples. I also fingered Reid's hole and used two fingers to manipulate his prostate until he ejaculated, and then we gave him time to enjoy his orgasm before he and Chad switched places.

After I'd done the same thing to Chad, the boys worked on me next and took turns sucking on my penis and kissing me. After we'd all enjoyed our releases, we settled down on my sleeping bag, and they pulled the other two over us. They both rolled onto their sides and slid as close to me as possible so they could place their heads on my chest. It didn't take very long before we were all sound asleep, content to be sharing this sort of closeness again.

When I awoke in the morning, I realized I wouldn't be able to get up without waking both boys, but since our current sleeping arrangement had been their idea they'd have to live with it. I tried to extricate myself with as little inconvenience to them as possible, but they woke up anyway. Since we were all awake, they went out with me to help fix breakfast.

After we finished eating, Paul suggested I should take my group out first. Reid said he'd take care of having lunch ready, and Paul and Simon agreed to help him, so Jeremy, Chad, and I headed down to the water. I let Jeremy take the rear position in the canoe and we put Chad in the middle, and once we were set, we started out on another trip around the lake.

Paddling around in the canoe seemed to take less out of me this time, and I thought we got back a little quicker too. I was still tired, but not quite as sore as the first time we did it, so maybe I was in a little better shape than when we first arrived. When we made it back to the dock near our campsite, we pulled the canoe onshore and went up to have lunch with the others.

"I don't think it was nearly as bad this time," Chad stated in between bites. "I'm not feeling as sore or tired as I did when we did it before."

"Maybe you're starting to build up some muscles then," Paul teased, which caused Chad to flip him the bird, and then they both started laughing.

After we finished eating, the other group went down to the lake to take their turn, and the rest of us followed them to the lake. It wasn't that we were going to give them a send off, but it was because we planned to swim for a while to clean off and unwind after an interesting 24-hour period. Unfortunately, Chad and Jeremy decided to cannonball into the lake just as the canoe was leaving, and the ripples they created caused the canoe to nearly tip over. Of course, this resulted in a few nasty comments from those in the canoe, while Chad and Jeremy merely said 'oops' and claimed it wasn't intentional. Before long, however, the canoers were out of sight and things returned to normal.

I spent over an hour in the water before getting out, and then I went to get things ready for dinner. It was still early, but I wanted to get it out of the way, and then I could sit and relax until the others returned. Chad and Jeremy came up to join me after a while, and we sat around and talked about the various things we'd done on the camping trip, including our close encounter the previous day.

As it grew closer to the time I expected the others to return, I started cooking our meal so it would be ready to eat as soon as they got back. They showed up slightly ahead of what I'd anticipated, so they had a chance to relax before we ate, and then we all went for another swim.

We had another campfire that evening, our last one since we'd be packing up and leaving in the morning, so I thought it was a good time to make S'mores again. The boys seemed happy that we were doing this and they all thanked me for bringing them on this trip. They also asked if we could do it again next summer, and I told them I'd consider it, but I wouldn't be able to give them an answer until next spring. I explained that I'd have to wait and see what else I was involved in at the time, since I wasn't sure if those making the movie would need me to stay around as a consultant. They all said they understood, but I hoped we might be able to do this again, because I enjoyed it too.

When we went to our tent to sleep, Chad and Reid wanted to do what we'd done the previous night, and I agreed. Not only did we suck each other off again, but we all slept the same way too, with them being pressed against my body. I could really get used to this, either here or at home.

When I woke up in the morning, I roused the boys too and asked them to zip up the sleeping bags and roll them up like they were when we first got there. I also suggested that they pack up their belongings at the same time, and advised them that while they were doing those things, I would go out and fix breakfast. They agreed, so I headed out to whip up something to fill their empty bellies.

Shortly after I walked out of the tent, I saw the boys emerging from the other tent as they went to empty their bladders. I yelled over and told them to take care of their sleeping bags and start packing up so we'd be ready to leave, and they let me know they understood.

When I had breakfast ready, I called the boys to eat, and after we finished, they helped me clean everything up, and then we started putting things away. Once we'd packed up the camping stove and utensils, we took our gear out of the tents so we could strike them too. Paul and Jeremy directed that activity, but Jeremy also took care of the portable toilet, while explaining that he'd also deal with it when he got home.

Once we had everything loaded into the truck again, along with the garbage and canoe, we did one more walk around the area. We did this to make sure we had left nothing behind and the site was pretty much as we'd found it, which all campers should do.

The ride home was a lot lighter than the ride there, because the boys were not only listening to their music, but they were talking about the trip as well. It also meant the music wasn't blaring quite as loudly this time, which I appreciated, and I enjoyed hearing them talk about how they felt about our week together too. Needless to say, we had all been very open with each other while we'd been there, but I think we'd also grown closer during that time as well. I was fairly certain I'd be spending more time with these boys in the future.

As we got closer to our homes, I asked Jeremy if he wanted some help unpacking the truck and taking care of everything, but he told me he'd be able to take care of everything. I hated to leave him with all of that work, but he said it was worth it, since we'd made sure he didn't miss out on going camping this year. We all thanked him, but we also told him that he could call us if he changed his mind.

I stopped at our place first, so I could ask Brad to drive over to Jeremy's house in about twenty minutes to pick me up. I thought Reid might stay at the house, but he wanted to go with me as I dropped the others off, so we took them home according to who lived closest. It meant we dropped Chad off first this time, and he thanked us again for taking him. As I was getting his gear out of the truck bed, he whispered that he'd be in touch so we could plan on spending more time together.

After that we dropped off Paul and then Simon, before making our way over to Jeremy's house. When we got there, we went inside to say hello to Jeremy's dad first and to thank him for the use of the truck.

"Did you have a good time?" he asked his son.

"The best. It was almost as good as going camping with you, but I still wish you could have been there too."

"I'm just glad you got to go and had fun."

When Brad showed up, Reid and I said goodbye to Jeremy and his parents, and then we went to get our gear out of the truck and put it in the Highlander. Jeremy came out with us so I could help him remove and store the stove and portable toilet. When we finished moving everything, I handed him the key to the truck. He thanked me again, and then he surprised me by also giving me a hug.

"Thanks for doing this for me. I had a great time."

"You're welcome, and we had fun too."

We then got in with Brad and headed for home. I was ready for everyone to ask me about the trip, but I was also prepared to deal with Ashley and Evan, since I knew they probably wouldn't be happy that they hadn't been included.

Chapter 48
Reid's Special Day

When we arrived at the house, we spent the rest of Saturday telling the others about our trip and answering their questions. As I'd suspected, it was easy to see that Evan and Ashley were hurt because they hadn't been able to go with us, but Pam advised me they'd had fun with Eric and Rylee, so it wasn't too bad. Ashley also realized that she couldn't have gone since it was only boys, but Evan was harder to deal with.

"Why didn't you let me go too?" he demanded.

"This was just for Reid and his friends. Maybe when you're older I can do the same thing with you and Eric too, but this was something we did to help one of Reid's friends."

He eventually accepted my explanation, but I knew he'd hold me to my promise down the road and I'd deal with that when he brought it up again. For now, I just wanted to get back to a 'normal' routine.

Instead of spending the day being upset with me, Evan was at my side for the entire time. When we ate, he moved his chair closer to mine, and when we watched TV he sat on my lap.

"I think someone missed you," Pam whispered when Evan went to use the bathroom.

"I thought he'd be mad because he didn't get to go, and he did let me know it bothered him, but he obviously isn't holding a grudge."

"I doubted he would, since I caught him staring at your apartment door a few times while you were away, like he was hoping you'd walk out at any moment."

"I might have to take him and Eric camping sometime, but I'm not sure how I'll deal with Ashley. I wouldn't be able to take her on something like that, because there isn't a lot of privacy – and who would she share a tent with?"

"I know. Amanda and I talked a little about that too, so maybe we can work something out if you do that again with the boys."

I thanked her, and hoped it would work out for all of us.

When Pam announced it was time for the kids to get ready for bed, Evan quickly let me know his intentions. "I wanna shower with you cuz I couldn't do that last week."

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

He then raced to get his pajamas and Pam merely smiled as she watched him race out of the room.

When he came back and joined Reid and me in my apartment, he had another request. "Can I sleep with you too?"

I looked over at Reid and he made a face, but then he spoke. "Yeah, we'll both sleep with you, if it's ok."

This surprised me, but I think he also saw how his brother felt about being left behind while we went camping, so he didn't want to make the situation worse. I also suspected he was going to ask me to slip out to the other room after Evan was asleep, so I could take care of his needs. I had no problem with doing that, so we all stripped and headed to the bathroom to shower.

"I missed doing this with you, cuz I had to take baths," Evan stated as I was washing him.

I thought about asking why he didn't ask to shower with his father, but decided not to bring it up. "Yes, I missed doing this with you too."

When we finished, I sent him out to tell his parents he was going to spend the night with me, but I didn't think it would surprise Pam. While he was gone, Reid made sure I knew what he expected too.

"As soon as he's asleep, we're going to your living room. I want you to bring that last dildo with you too."

"I'll bring more than one. It's been a while since you've done this, so we'll work our way up again."

"I should be ok, cuz you were using two fingers on me when you were sucking my dick, and I've been working my fingers in there too. I can get all of my fingers in there now, but my fist is too big."

"I didn't know that, but I'll still bring the other dildos and see how you do."

Evan returned shortly after we had our discussion, so we all got into bed together. As we were getting comfortable, Evan spoke again. "Thank you for letting me do this. I love you, Uncle Quinn."

"And I love you too, sport."

I then kissed him on the forehead and he closed his eyes. Before long I could hearing his gentle breathing and knew he'd fallen asleep, so I waited a few minutes longer before whispering to Reid. "Ok, we can go now."

After we got out of bed, I went over to the nightstand and got the things I wanted to take with me. That meant I had my hands full as I followed Reid into the living room.

"Wow, that's more than we used before," Reid observed when he saw what I had.

"Yes, I've got another dildo that we haven't used yet, but I want to see how things go first, before I decide if I'm going to use that one on you too."

Reid then got on his back and pulled his knees to his chest. I lubed him up and then used the smaller vibrating dildo on him first. He handled that one easily, so I switched to the other vibrating dildo next, which he handled nearly as well. I was both amazed and impressed.

"Ok, I'm ready to use the dildo on you that we were using before the camping trip. Are you ready?"

"Yep. Let's do it."

He'd had a bit of a struggle with this one the last time we'd used it, so I was totally blown away when he handled it nearly as easily as the others. I think Reid noticed the surprised look on my face, because he made a comment.

"See, I told you I've been doin' stuff on my own."

"That's fairly obvious, so I'm willing to use the next dildo on you now. This one is basically the same size I am, so we'll see how you handle this one."

I could tell just looking at this face that he was going to do this, no matter how difficult it might be, but I'd watch for any non-verbal clues, since I knew he wasn't about to complain. The head on this dildo was even larger than the last one, but the shaft was thicker too, so I was slightly concerned and wanted to see how he would do.

After I'd added plenty of lube to it, I placed it at his opening and added enough pressure to penetrate his sphincter. I could see he was concentrating on pushing out with his butt muscles to make this easier, but I was still amazed that the head was able to slip past the muscular guardian without much trouble. As soon as the head had gained entrance, the sphincter snapped closed behind it, tightening around the shaft. I only heard him release a slight 'oomph' when that happened, and other than his face still being scrunched up in concentration, I saw no signs of distress on his face. After taking a few seconds to adjust to the fullness, he finally spoke.

"See, I told you I could to this."

"Yes, you did."

"So put the rest of it in now."

I didn't want to rush this, so I took my time and slowly eased it down his chute. Seeing we hadn't done this in a while, I was surprised at how well he was handling it, so maybe his fingers and Chad fucking him had done the trick. Whatever the reason, I watched the shaft of the dildo gradually disappear inside his butt. When that had been accomplished, I gave him a minute to adjust to the intruder before I started sliding it back and forth, while at the same time sucking him off. After he'd enjoyed his release, Reid let me know what he wanted to do next.

"I want you to leave the dildo in me while I'm sucking you off."

"Reid, I'm not sure it will stay in you without help. Just like when you have to poop, I'm sure your intestinal muscles will force it out."

"I've already figured out how to keep that from happening. I'll hold it in place with my hand while I get on my knees, and then I'll sit back and use my legs to keep it from coming out. I'll only bend forward enough to suck on your dick, so I should be able to keep my butt against my legs and hold it in place."

"But why do you want to keep it in you?"

"So I'll get used to having something that big in me, cuz I want to do this with you just as soon as I can."

I decided to let him try doing what he wanted seeing he was so adamant, and we got into position for him to work on me next. I caught him extending his arm behind his body a couple of times when the dildo started to come out, but he managed to keep it in place while he got me off. After I'd come back to my senses and we were ready to return to the bedroom, Reid began to stand up too. For some reason, though, he didn't use his hand to hold the dildo in place and it came shooting out of his rectum and landed on the floor with a thud. I glanced at him and he looked at me sheepishly for a few seconds, and then we both burst out laughing.

"I guess you were right about what would happen, but I was able to keep it in there until that happened."

"Yes, you did well and I was impressed."

"Good, so when are we going to do it?"

"Soon," was all I said, frustrating him yet again.

He didn't argue with me, though, as we got back into bed and he cuddled against me. I truly loved this boy and would do what he wanted before too much more time had passed.

Sunday turned out to be a fairly relaxing and laid back day. Even though I offered to help Pam with lunch and dinner, she shooed me out of the kitchen and told me to go relax. Since she didn't want my help, I watched a couple of movies with the kids instead, because I didn't have the desire to work on my story.

When it came time for our shower, Evan asked to sleep with me again, and when I looked at Reid he shrugged his shoulders first, and then nodded his head.

"Ok, but this is the last time for a while," I told Evan.

He agreed, so Reid and I ended up doing exactly the same things we'd done the night before, which included him keeping the dildo in his butt while he was sucking me. I could tell there was more to this than what he'd admitted, but I had my own secrets and a little surprise for him too.

After we had breakfast in the morning, I walked Evan and Ashley over to the Van Pattens for the day. Amanda and I had worked out a system for the summer, and the kids would spend Monday and Friday with the person they'd be spending the weekend with. Tuesday and Thursday they'd spend with the other person, and then on Wednesday we'd try to do something together with all of the kids, including Reid.

When I got back to the house, I was planning to spend all of my time with Reid, seeing it was his special day. "Happy Birthday!" I said as I kissed him and gave him a hug. "Are you ready for your birthday present that we won't tell the others about?"

"Yeah, and I hope it's what I really want."

"I'm sure you'll be more than happy with it."

I led him back to my apartment and locked the door behind us. After I'd directed him to my bedroom, I started kissing him again, while at the same time I began slowly removing his clothing. As soon as he was completely naked, I guided him to the bed and began a slow and passionate oral exploration of his body. I not only kissed his mouth, but I kissed his face and neck too, before moving to his ears. He loved it when I licked and sucked on his ear lobes, so I did that for a few minutes before moving down to his chest.

After I had toyed with his tiny nubs for a while, I suckled on his breasts, and then I slowly worked my way down his body. I stopped at his navel briefly, before I got up and moved between his legs. He instinctively pulled them back to his chest, so I bent down and began to rim him, which I did for several minutes. When I stopped doing that, I began to nip, tug, and suck on his scrotum next, as I made my way to his erect and throbbing penis. I worked on his shaft briefly, but I didn't suck him off, and then I pulled away and got off the bed.

"Hey! Why are you stopping?"

"I'm not. I'm just getting undressed too."

After I'd removed my clothes, I grabbed the lube from the nightstand and moved between his legs again. Since I hadn't brought any of the dildos with me, his eyes opened as wide as they would go as I began to lube up his hole.

"Does this mean you're finally going to do it with me?"

"Yes. It's my very special birthday gift for you, and I hope it's something you'll always remember."

I then lubed up my penis and stroked it a few times to make sure I was ready, but I was hard even before I did that, in anticipation of what I was going to be doing. Slowly, I inched my way forward on my knees and put my spongy helmet against his opening. When I looked up, I saw he was grinning broadly as he awaited my next action.

I gripped his ankles to get started, and Reid began to push out with his butt muscles in preparation for what was to come. I added just enough pressure to slip past the stubborn guardian, and I watched his face closely as I did this, because I didn't want to cause him any pain. He was still smiling, so he obviously wasn't experiencing any pain, so I kept going. He made a noise, but it was a moan of appreciation, not a groan of pain, but I paused briefly to give him time to adjust. He was eager and didn't want to wait, so he started pushing his butt toward me, trying to get the rest of my penis inside him.

Even though he seemed to be in a hurry, I wanted to take my time so we'd both enjoy this. Slowly, my penis slid down his velvety tunnel and disappeared, inch by inch, until my pubes were brushing against his skin. I wanted to give him time to get used to having it inside him, but he started rocking back and forth in an effort to encourage me into action. Taking the hint, I slowly withdrew my penis until just the head remained inside, and then I thrust into him again, as I gradually built a rhythm.

I wasn't in a hurry for this to come to an end, so I started out slowly, as I thrust back and forth. Reid was moaning as I was doing this, but since there was no expression of pain on his face, I took it that the noises indicated he was in the throes of pleasure. We continued like this for a few minutes, and when I was convinced he was doing fine, I released his ankles and bent forward so I could kiss him again.

Reid's reaction was immediate and emphatic. The second he felt my lips touch his, his mouth opened and he threw his arms around my neck. He didn't hesitate and became the aggressor with his tongue as he began working it against mine, while my penis continued to slide in and out of his backside. Unless I was horribly mistaken, I'd say he was truly enjoying his birthday present.

After several more minutes of carrying on like this, I was beginning to notice the early signs of my impending orgasm. That's when I lifted up again and increased my pace slightly, but I also reached down and began to masturbate Reid using the same rhythm. His head began to sway from side to side, while his hair flopped back and forth across his forehead, but then he suddenly became still and I knew it meant he was about to ejaculate. I wasn't quite there yet and hoped he could hold off a little longer, but he was already beyond the point of no return. It was only a second later when the first string of semen blasted out of his penis and landed on his chest, just under his chin.

It was only the first of several spurts, but his butt muscles were contracting with each blast and that sent me over the edge too. In a matter of seconds, I was emptying my nuts into his bowels, and I must have pumped a gallon of semen into him before I stopped. I nearly collapsed on him when it was over, but I managed to fall next to him instead, physically weak from my powerful release.

I'm not sure how long we laid there like that, but eventually I felt him kissing my face. "It was wonderful and I can't wait until we can do it again. Even though me and Chad did i with each other, this was way better. I'll always be yours now, and I want us to be together forever."

"Forever is a very long time, but I think I'd like that too."

Reid started kissing me again, and then we cuddled with each other for a while longer before I thought we should get up. "I'm sure some of my semen has already started to leak out of you, but try to squeeze your butt muscles together so you'll be able to walk to the bathroom. When you get there, sit on the toilet and let the rest of it fall into the bowl. Once you don't feel it oozing out of you any longer, wipe good, and then flush. While you're doing that, I'll change the sheets on my bed."

I was just about done by the time he returned, but he helped me finish up. I could tell he was still floating on cloud nine, but he confirmed it with his words.

"That was way better than I thought it would be. I knew I wanted you to fuck me..." I quickly put my hand over his lips and stopped him.

"I didn't fuck you. I made love to you. There's a difference."

"Yeah, I could tell you loved me while we were doing it, and I love you too."

"So it didn't hurt?"

"Maybe a little, but it was worth it, cuz it was the most wonderful thing that's ever happened to me. I knew it would be good, but it was way better than that. It was fantastic."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, because I did too. You're incredibly special to me and I'm so glad your parents asked me to come live with you and allow us do these things with each other. I love you, Reid."

"I'm glad they did too, and I love you too, Uncle Quinn."

"Ok, I want you to go upstairs now and fill your bathtub. I want you to sit in it and soak for a while. It will help to rinse the area, but it will also make it so you're not so sore later. I don't want you to have any trouble sitting down tonight, because that might be difficult to explain."

"Yeah, it would. Can we soak in the tub together?"

"No, this is something you need to do alone."

"Will you come up and talk to me while I'm doin' it?"

"Sure. Just let me get dressed first. I'll throw your clothes in the laundry room and then you can put something else on when you get out of the tub."

"Ok."

I got dressed quickly and then I went up to keep him company while he did as I asked. It probably wasn't necessary, but since we had the time, I felt it wouldn't do any harm. When he got out of the tub, we went over to his room and he got dressed. After that, we went downstairs, and since I had no idea what we were going to do next, I asked Reid if he had a suggestion.

"How about we watch a movie and you can hold me while we're sitting on the couch."

"Ok, that sounds good to me."

We only stopped long enough to eat lunch, and then he wanted to select another movie and do it again. He really only wanted to be close to me and the movie was just an excuse, but I was fine with that too. When the second movie ended, he looked at me and spoke.

"This has been the best birthday ever. First, you took me camping so I could spend time with my friends, and then you made love to me and we spent the whole day together, just the two of us."

"And tonight we'll have cake and ice cream with the rest of the family, and then we'll give you our gifts."

"I already got what I wanted." He then leaned against me and put his head on my chest, so I gave him a little squeeze and kissed his hair.

I also asked Reid what he wanted for his birthday dinner, and after he told me we ran to the store and picked up the things I would need to prepare it for him.

When Amanda brought Evan and Ashley home later, I spent some time with them before I started to fix dinner. When Brad and Pam got home, I merely asked how they wanted their steaks cooked, since Reid wanted to have Filet Mignon.

I also prepared baked potatoes for most of us, while fixing French Fries for Ashley and Evan. In addition to that, I'd also prepared candied carrots and a green salad for everyone too.

"I thought we were going out to eat tonight," Brad said when we sat down at the dining room table.

"Nah, I like doing this better, and it doesn't cost as much," Reid replied. "I also got to help Uncle Quinn fix everything."

"You mean he made you fix your own birthday dinner?" Brad gasped in mock horror.

"No! I wanted to help him."

"Oh, ok," Brad stated, and then we all began to laugh.

After we finished our meal, Pam brought in the cake and lit the candles. She and Brad had stopped to pick it up on the way home, because she didn't want Reid to see it before now. We'd been so busy working on dinner that I hadn't even noticed her carry it inside, even though I knew that's what she was going to do. After we sang Happy Birthday to Reid and he blew out the candles, Pam cut the cake and I dished out the ice cream.

Once we finished eating our dessert, Reid opened up his gifts and thanked each of us for what we gave him. As he was carrying his gifts up to his room, Brad pulled me aside.

"You did it with him, didn't you?" He was looking at me with a strange smirk on his face.

"What are you talking about?" I didn't think he was upset, but I wanted to be sure.

"You know. You finally fucked him."

"What makes you say that?"

"The starry-eyed look Reid's been giving you all night, and I thought he was walking funny when he went upstairs."

"Are you sure you're not imagining things?"

"I'm positive, and it was obviously what Reid wanted, or he wouldn't be acting so happy and looking so much in love. Don't worry, Pam and I knew it would happen sometime, so we're not mad."

"I'm glad to hear that, and if Reid had his way, we'd have done it right after we moved in here. I had to convince him to go slowly and not rush things, but I knew he wouldn't wait much longer."

"Hey, at least he's technically in high school now, so it's not as big of a deal. I know some kids lose their virginity in middle school, so I wasn't really sure if he'd be one of them."

"He tried to convince me to do it on Valentine's Day, but I put him off. I figured it would be a good birthday present, and like you said, at least now he's technically in high school."

"Thanks for not taking advantage of him sooner."

We saw Reid coming down the stairs at that moment, so we ended our conversation. When he came over to us, Brad asked what he wanted to do next."

"I don't know. To tell you the truth, I'm good and we don't have to do nothin' else."

Brad looked at me and grinned before he responded. "Then I guess we'll just watch TV then, unless you have another suggestion."

"Nah, that's good, and I'll just sit with Uncle Quinn."

After I noticed Pam watching us, probably because Reid was leaning against me with his head on my shoulder, I had a feeling she'd figured out what we did earlier too. I was sure she'd mention it to Brad when they were alone, and then he'd most likely confirm her suspicions. I hoped she'd be just as accepting as Brad had been about what we'd done.

When it came time for us to shower, Evan enthusiastically ran to his room to get his pajamas so he could join us again. Reid didn't seem to have a problem with this, so we said goodnight to Brad and Pam and headed to my apartment to wait for Evan. He showed up a few seconds later, so we quickly undressed and headed to the bathroom.

After we finished, I sent Evan upstairs so his mother could tuck him in, and I locked the door to the apartment as soon as he left. Then, I went to join Reid in the bedroom.

"Can we do it again?"

"Are you sure you're ready? Aren't you sore?"

"Nope. Soaking in the tub helped a lot."

"Don't you want to wait until at least tomorrow?"

"No, I want to do it with you again on my birthday."

Suddenly, a thought occurred to me. "Was that your birthday wish when you blew out the candles on your cake?"

"Yep. How did you know?"

"Just a good guess. I suppose I've had enough time since we did it earlier, but I probably won't produce as much semen this time."

"Good, then there won't be as much to leak out of me. Is there another way we can do it, so this time will be different? That way I won't confuse it with what we did earlier when I think about today when I get older."

"We can do it doggy style, like you and Chad do it."

"Isn't there another way?"

"Yes, and it might be even better, because then we won't have to change the sheets again when we finish. Stand against the side of the bed and lean over the mattress. You can rest your chest on it while we're doing this."

"Ok, I see, but it's still kinda like Chad and I do it."

"There's only so many ways it's possible to fit 'Part A' into 'Slot B', so do you want to do it this way or not?"

"Yeah, we'll do it like that then."

I went to get the lube and then Reid sucked on my penis to get me hard. Once we were both ready, he got into position and I lubed his hole and my penis. Now that he was ready, I moved behind him and placed the tip at his opening.

It was a lot easier to enter him this time, and it was a good thing too. Once the head slipped inside, Reid shoved his butt against me and technically impaled himself on my shaft in one forceful motion. I heard him grunt this time, since he'd done it so quickly, and I asked if he was alright.

"Yeah, I guess I probably should have let you do that," he agreed.

"Yes, we should have taken our time and done it slowly, but it's too late to worry about that now. Are you sure you're ok?"

"Yeah, I just wasn't ready for how it felt at first, but I'm ok now."

Since he was ready to start, I slowly pulled back and then thrust into him again. After doing that a few times, he figured out he could help out and started to back into me as I was thrusting forward, and then he'd pull away as I was withdrawing. The first couple of times he almost pulled completely off my penis, but I held him by the hips and prevented that from happening. For the next several minutes we continued this erotic dance, but then I realized I was about ready to ejaculate again. I sped up slightly as I headed for home, and as I suspected, I didn't produce nearly as much semen as the first time we did this.

As soon as my penis deflated and slipped out of his hole, I grabbed the towel he'd used to dry himself after his shower and wiped his butt. Then, I turned him around, lifted him onto the bed, and laid him on his back so I could suck him off too. I was originally going to masturbate him while we were making love, but then I realized he'd shoot his semen all over the side of the bed, so I opted to do it this way so we didn't make a mess. As soon as he got off too, he kissed me again before we went to brush our teeth and hopped into bed.

"This was absolutely the best birthday ever. I hope all of my birthdays can be as good as last week and today."

That was a big order, but I'd do my best to honor it for him. "I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I'll keep that in mind."

We then cuddled together and fell asleep – a very content man and his boy.

Chapter 49
Unusual Situations

On Wednesday, Amanda and I took the kids to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. We spent the day there checking out all of the exhibits, and even though we talked to the kids as we wandered through the various exhibits, they were far too excited to say very much. Their heads were swiveling from side-to-side as they checked out all the various items on display, so on the way home we decided to ask them what they liked the best.

"I liked the dinosaurs," Evan replied quickly. "They were way bigger than us, and some were even bigger than our house. Some also had teeth as big as me."

"I liked the dinosaurs too, but I also liked the spiders," Eric offered next. "There were so many different kinds and they were all different sizes. It was really fun watching what each one was like."

"The spiders were yucky, and so were the insects," Rylee challenged. "I didn't like any of them and don't know how you can like them. I liked the butterflies the best. Some of them were really beautiful and they are so graceful when they fly around."

"I liked the butterflies too," Ashley agreed, "but I liked the birds the best. I also thought it was interesting that the Egyptians turned animals into mummies too. I know the cats and birds were prolly their pets, but why would they want to do that to a crocodile?"

"It's because they had a deep respect for the crocodile. How about you, Reid. What did you like?" I asked.

"I thought the African and North American mammal displays were the most interesting. We learned in school that some of those animals might go extinct soon, so someday people may only be able to see pictures of them or their skeletons, kinda like we saw with the dinosaurs. It's sad, because hunters are killing elephants for the ivory in their tusks, but a lot of other mammals could go extinct too because people keep taking over the land they live on, and also because the world is getting warmer. That could be really bad for animals like the polar bears, walruses, and even penguins."

"Yes, I agree, and that's why people should do something about it before those animals totally disappear."

"I'm glad to see that you all seemed to enjoy visiting there and found it interesting," Amanda added.

We continued talking about our trip the rest of the way home, and after we dropped the Van Pattens off, we just barely beat Brad and Pam back to the house.

"I'm sorry that I don't have dinner ready, but we got back a lot later than I expected," I apologized.

"That's ok. Why don't I give you hand fixing something," Pam offered, before turning to speak with the kids. "So did you have a good time today?"

"Yes!" they all replied.

"There were some really neat things there, like dinosaurs," Evan blurted out.

"But I liked the birds and butterflies best. They were really pretty," Ashley added.

"I'm glad we went there, cuz it helped me better understand some of the things I learned about in school," Reid added.

Pam and I then whipped up a quick and simple dinner, and while we were eating the kids told their parents more about our outing. When we finished our meal, Brad asked to speak with me alone, much to Reid's dismay. I told Reid I'd catch up with him after I was done talking to his dad, and he reluctantly left the dining room.

"I want to talk to you about a couple of things," Brad began. "First, I just wanted to let you know that the screen tests for the various roles in the movie have begun. As soon as those are completed, the director will start making his selections for who he wants to cast in the various roles."

"That's good news and I'm glad to hear things are moving along so well. So what else did you want to speak to me about?"

"The second thing is about Reid. Now that you two have become intimate, I hope it doesn't mean it's all you're going to be doing from now on. He's still quite young and Pam and I would prefer if you two didn't become like a couple of newlyweds and spend all of your time hopping in and out of bed."

"No, I intend to put limits on that aspect of our relationship. If it were up to Reid, we'd be doing it every night, possibly even a couple times a day on the weekend, but I don't plan on letting him get away with that. He'll probably still want me to help him get off on a daily basis, and come to think of it we were like that at his age too, but we'll only make love to each other on the weekend. That doesn't mean the entire weekend or every weekend, and I'll do my best to keep him to that arrangement. I appreciate how understanding you and Pam have been about all of this, but I know it doesn't mean that we have carte blanche and can do whatever we want. I understand that you still want to maintain some sort of limits on what we do, so I'll help with that."

"I'm glad to hear you say that. Pam and I talked it over after we realized you'd crossed the final barrier with him, and what we just discussed was pretty much what we were worried about. I'm glad to hear that you're being mature about this and will set limits on Reid concerning the frequency of those encounters."

"Absolutely. I realized from the start that I'd assumed a great deal of responsibility when I agreed to your proposal. Although we had your approval, I also understood there were limits on what we could do. I will certainly abide by your wishes and keep our activities under control, because I appreciate the great honor you and Pam have shown me by trusting me with your son."

"I'm certain Pam will be very relieved when I inform her about our conversation. I want to thank you for being understanding and cooperative, but that's part of the reason I wanted you to do this, because I knew I could totally trust you with him."

I went looking for Reid after Brad and I finished talking, but he wasn't in the family room, as I'd expected. I also glanced in the living room, since Brad and I had our chat in the dining room, but he wasn't there either. Seeing he wasn't in any of those places, I went to my apartment next and found him watching TV.

"So what did Dad want to talk to you about?" Reid demanded when he saw me.

"He wanted to give me an update on how things were going with the movie."

"And I couldn't stay for that?"

"The studio doesn't want the information to accidentally leak out yet, so they've asked everyone to only share the details with those who are part of the process. Since your dad wrote the screenplay based on my story, we're both part of the process, but unfortunately, you aren't."

"Yeah, whatever."

"So what do you say about going out and spending some time with the rest of the family?"

"I'd rather we just stay here and do something."

"Reid, you've still got to spend some time with your parents. After all, it is summer vacation and it's not like you have to get ready for school or have homework to do."

"Yeah, I know, so does it mean we're goin' to the family room now?"

"I suspect that's where everyone else is."

"Ok, let's go then, cuz I want to come back here as soon as we can."

"Reid, before we do, I've got something to discuss with you too. Just because I've made love to you now, it doesn't mean we're going to do it every night. I think we'll limit it to the weekends, when we have more time to enjoy it -- especially after school starts up again."

"Why can't we do it more than that? I love it when you make love to me."

"I know, but we just won't do it all the time. We can still do the other stuff, but we'll limit how often we make love. I suggest that you can make love to me on either Friday or Saturday night, and then I'll make love to you on the other night. How does that sound?"

"If we're only going to do it on those two nights, I'd rather you just do it to me both times. So will you do that?"

"I'd rather we alternate."

"I don't. I like it better when you do it to me."

"Reid, you're lucky your parents are letting us do it at all, so let's not push it. I think they've both figured out that we've already done it, and even though they haven't had a problem with it, I think it's best that we not push their good will."

"How do they know we've done it? Did you tell them?"

"No, your dad mentioned something about your starry-eyed expressions the day after we did it, and he also said you seemed to be walking funny."

"I wasn't, was I?"

"Let's just say that you're legs weren't quite as close together while you were walking or when you were sitting the next day."

"Damn! I didn't realize that."

"Yes, and even though they've given us some leeway on doing these things, I'm convinced they will change their minds and possibly put a halt to it if we take advantage of the situation."

"You really think so?"

"I absolutely do."

"Ok, then we'll do it your way. I'd rather do that then have them tell us to stop, cuz I know you would, if they told you that."

"You're right, I would. I gave them my promise from the start that I wouldn't take advantage of the situation or harm you in any way, and I plan to keep my word."

"I don't like it, but I'll do what you want."

Now that we had this settled, we went out to spend time with the family. As we suspected, they were watching TV, but we talked about different things during the commercials too. As soon as we were ready to call it a night, Evan let us know that he was going to go get his jammies so he could shower with us. Brad merely shook his head and grinned as he watched his son race out of the room, and then Reid and I said goodnight to him, Pam, and Ashley before we went to my apartment.

When Evan joined us, we took our shower quickly and then I sent him upstairs so his mother could tuck him in. As soon as Reid and I were alone, he said he'd be happy if I just rimmed him and sucked him off this time. He didn't even want me to use the dildos on him, but he wasn't insistent about doing the same thing to me, after I'd done it to him. I had no problem with this, so I agreed.

I thought Reid would act disappointed because we weren't going to make love, but he seemed to be more than satisfied with what we were doing. I know he really enjoyed being rimmed, because it was totally different than using a dildo or actually making love, and as long as he enjoyed it, I was happy to oblige him.

After I'd also sucked him off and he'd enjoyed his release, he made a comment. "I would have preferred having you make love to me, but this is definitely a lot better than jerking off."

"I'm glad you're satisfied with this."

After Reid had returned the favor, we cuddled together on the bed and fell asleep, content in each other's arms.

The next morning when I went to get dressed, I suddenly became aware of something. I'm not exactly sure when or how it happened, but even though I'd told Reid that he was to keep all of his things in his room, that's not what was happening. I was finding more and more of his clothing in my closet or in my dresser drawers, but I didn't think Reid was doing this. I suspect Pam might have been putting some of his things in here after she did the laundry. If that was the case, I certainly couldn't blame Reid or be upset with him about this, so I'll ask Pam about it when I get the chance.

Both Thursday and Friday were fairly uneventful. On Thursday, Evan and Ashley spent the day with Amanda and her kids, and then on Friday Eric and Rylee spent the day with us. No one was staying over at either place this weekend, though, because Amanda and I had reached an agreement. Saturday was July 1st and there would be special events going on in preparation for the Fourth, and they would also be joining us for a cookout on Sunday. We decided to do this on the weekend so we'd have Saturday to get ready for it. Besides, Tuesday would be full of other events that we wanted to attend.

After our shower with Evan on Friday evening and I'd tucked him into bed, I kept my promise to Reid and gave him the choice of who was going to make love to whom. He had a tough time choosing, seeing he really wanted me to make love to him both nights, but he settled on doing it to me first. For some reason, he thought it would be better if I did it to him the following night, so I agreed and asked which position he wanted us to use.

He said he wanted me on my back so he could see my face when he was doing it, so I propped a pillow under my butt to make it easier for him. I also told him that he could masturbate me at the same time, if he wanted, but he said he preferred to suck me off afterward instead. That was fine with me too, so after he filled me with his seed, he began nodding up and down on my penis until I ejaculated in his mouth. Now that we were both satisfied, we cleaned up quickly and then cuddled together as we fell asleep.

Saturday morning we all got up early and had breakfast together first, before changing into shorts, short-sleeve shirts, and athletic shoes for what we had planned next. Once we were all ready, we hopped in the Highlander and drove over to pick up Amanda and her kids next. We were all going to take part in the Independence Day Walk/Run for Cancer, which was set to take place over a 5K course. Seeing it was also a fundraising event, Brad and Pam gave Evan and Ashley fifty dollars each to turn in at the sign-in, but the kids also added some of their own money too. I offered to take financial responsibility and do the same thing with Reid, and they both thanked me for doing this. Since Brad, Pam, and I were going to walk with them, we agreed that we'd each donate one hundred dollars when signing up, seeing it was all going to a very good cause.

I wasn't sure how Amanda handled it with her kids, but once we had all completed the registration process, we got ready to walk the course together. We took turns chatting with each other along the way and kept up a good steady pace, so it proved to be quite an invigorating, yet somewhat tiring event.

We were all hot and sweaty by the time we finished, so we found a shady spot to sit and cool down before heading home. We thought it would be better to do it this way, rather than getting into the Highlander in our present condition. We also hoped it would prevent us from having to drive with the windows down on the way back. It worked out fairly well, because we weren't too aromatic in the air conditioned SUV on the way home. When we dropped Amanda and the kids off at their house, we said goodbye and reminded them we'd see them all again the following afternoon.

When we got to the house, we took it easy for a while before sitting down to a hastily prepared lunch. After we finished eating, Brad, Pam, and I started getting ready for the cookout, because we wanted to make sure everything was set for the following day. Of course, Reid remained by my side and helped me with everything I was doing, and Brad and Pam both smiled when they saw what he was up to.

When we finished with everything, we were even more tired and hungry than before, so we decided to pick something up, rather than fix a meal. We agreed to have subs for dinner, so after we found out what everyone wanted, Brad, Reid, and I went to pick them up. When we got back and had finished our meal, we agreed to watch the movie The Patriot next, which went along with the holiday theme and was being shown on one of the networks.

As soon as the movie ended, Evan went to get his PJs so he could shower with us again. While I was washing him, Evan asked a question. "Can I sleep with you tonight?"

I knew I couldn't allow him to do this, because of my promise to Reid, so I had to think up an excuse on the spur of the moment. "I'm not used to walking as much as we did earlier, so I'm afraid my muscles are going to be aching and might even spasm all night. That means I'll be moving around a lot, and possibly even getting up every now and then to stretch the muscles out, so what if you sleep with me tomorrow night instead?"

"Ok, as long as I get to do it."

Once he was in his pajamas, I took him up to his room so I could tuck him in, since I'd agreed to do it for him on the weekend. When I got back, Reid was grinning.

"That was pretty fast thinking. I'm really glad you were able to talk him out of sleeping with you tonight, cuz I'm looking forward to you making love to me."

"I know, and that's why I told him he could sleep with me tomorrow night instead."

As we got ready to do this, I was a little concerned, because I hadn't even used a dildo on him since I'd made love to him twice on Monday. To make certain he was ready for this, I used my fingers to stretch him out while I was lubing him up. I was also going to take my time and be very gentle when I entered him, for the same reason. Seeing I knew Reid was often impatient and might try to impale himself on my penis, I decided to do it with us both lying on our sides on the mattress. I'd enter him from behind, and I felt this way he'd have very little leverage to push back into me, but I would also place my hands on his hips so I'd have more control. I even asked him to lay the towel he'd used after our shower on the bed in front of him to keep from messing up the sheets.

I eased into him slowly and listened to Reid moan and coo the entire time. Once I was all the way inside him, I paused briefly and gave him time to adjust, but he soon began to urge me to get started. When that happened, I rolled him over onto his belly so he was laying on the towel, and lifted his hips slightly off the mattress. Then, I started to slowly rock back and forth, as my penis slid in and out of his rectum. Reid was really getting into this now and began thrusting his butt backward to meet my forward thrusts, and then he'd pull away again as I withdrew. He certainly wasn't a passive partner, no matter what sexual activity we were engaged in.

After carrying on like this for many minutes, I began to feel Reid's body stiffen and wasn't sure why it was happening. I wasn't masturbating him at the time, so that wasn't the reason, but then I heard him grunt and felt his intestines spasm around my penis, so I knew he was ejaculating nonetheless. I guess my penis must have been stroking his prostate while we were making love, and that proved to be more than sufficient to get him off.

As soon as he recuperated and realized what had happened, he spoke. "Damn, that's never happened before. I cummed and didn't even touch my dick."

"Since it's such a tight fit inside you, I guess my penis must have rubbed against your prostate enough to make you have an orgasm."

"I guess so, but that was strange. It felt incredible, but it was still strange."

"I'm not sure if it will happen again, because it didn't the first two times, but it might have had something to do with not using the dildo on you first tonight."

"Then I don't want to use it next time either."

Seeing we'd both gotten our rocks off, we cleaned up quickly and then turned in. Tomorrow would be another long day, so we would need all the rest we could get.

After having breakfast with the family, we made sure everything was ready for the cookout, because the Van Pattens were going to be joining us at noon. We'd originally invited Chad and his parents too, but they'd already made other plans and declined. It was a shame, since I thought it would be a good opportunity to get to know Chad's parents better as well, but maybe we could do it on Labor Day weekend instead.

To my surprise, Amanda had told us that Bob would also be coming with them, so it would give the rest of us a chance to get to know him as well. Evan and Ashley had spent some time with him when they'd stayed over before, but I was excited to finally meet him and discover what he was like.

They showed up just before noon, since we told them we'd have hamburgers, hot dogs, and Italian sausage with peppers and onions for lunch. Later, Brad would grill steaks and chicken breasts for dinner, since we were planning on making this an all day event. I was intrigued when Amanda introduced us.

"This is my husband, Bob. And Bob, this is Brad, Pam, Reid, and Quinn."

"I'm glad to finally meet all of you, since I've heard my wife and the kids talk about each of you often."

I was a little surprised when I saw Bob for the first time. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but he was only about 5 feet 7 inches [1.70 m] tall, and he didn't weigh very much either. My initial impression was that he'd been the overly studious type in school, possibly even a nerd, but I knew he had some sort of important job, because he was always traveling for work.

"It's nice to finally get to meet you too," Brad agreed.

"I'm not around a lot, due to my job, so it's really nice to be able to do something like this and to spend time with all of you."

"We're glad you were free," Pam confirmed. "So what exactly is your job?"

"I'm the regional manager for the Denny's Restaurant chain. That means whenever there's a problem at one of my locations, I have to go there and stay until the issue is resolved."

"What sort of problems?" Brad followed.

"Any major problem, whether it has to do with a customer or the operation in general. If a store gets a really low score on a health inspection, or has three borderline scores in a row, I have to go with my training supervisor so we can retrain and shape up the crew."

"Does it take very long to do that?" I wondered.

"Problems with a customer or an incident at one of the locations can usually be handled in a day or two. The company prefers that I deal with those issues directly, rather than leaving it up to the manger at each location, in order to maintain a consistent approach. When it comes to issues on health inspections, that can take several days or up to a few weeks to get the restaurant back in line and following company policy."

"Now I understand why you're gone so often," I confessed.

"It pays well and I've got great benefits, but I've had to sacrifice family time along the way. It's unfortunate that so many good paying jobs make you choose between the two."

"Yes, that is unfortunate."

In between lunch and dinner, the kids talked us into playing some games with them. We started out playing kickball, since the kids wanted the two families to compete against each other, but it also posed a problem. There were six on our side and only four on theirs, but we quickly worked something out. Since Reid didn't want us to be split up, we offered to play for both teams. I'd pitch and Reid would be the catcher, so there would be six fielders, but only four kickers on each side.

It was a fun game and everyone seemed to have a good time, and I don't think anyone cared who won, because I don't believe anyone kept score. After we finished doing that, the kids wanted to play Four Square next, so we had to move all of the vehicles out on the street. We let the four youngest start, and then the rest of us came in whenever a square opened up. I think Amanda and Bob enjoyed doing this with the kids too, so we'd all worked up a healthy appetite again when it was time for dinner.

The Van Pattens left about an hour after we'd eaten our second meal, and they thanked us and promised to have us over for a cookout in the future. Once they'd gone home, the rest of us cleaned up the mess and carried everything inside. When that had been taken care of, we rested for a brief time before I took the boys for their shower. Before we left, Evan announced to his parents that he was going to sleep with me tonight, and I just nodded to let them know I'd agreed to this. Brad and Pam merely chuckled and shook their heads in response.

When Evan went to get his pajamas, Reid told me we could just rim and suck each other off after Evan was asleep. I agreed, and we began to undress.

As I washed Evan, it was easy to tell how excited he was about doing this, because he couldn't seem to stand still. I didn't think it was because I was unintentionally tickling him or doing anything different, but he seemed to be looking forward to this more than usual.

"Thank you for letting me sleep with you tonight," he said as we were getting into bed.

"Yeah, I want to thank you too," Reid chimed in, supposedly to make Evan believe this wasn't usual for him either.

Once we were all in bed, the boys cuddled against me, and then Reid and I waited for Evan to fall asleep. As soon as I felt it was safe, I told Reid to get out of bed and head into the living room. We went to the far side of the sofa again, before we got started. I rimmed Reid first, and then I started to suck him off. I'd only been doing it for a minute when I heard a voice.

"Uncle Quinn, what are you doing to Reid?"

I looked up and saw Evan peering over the back of the sofa and getting an eyeful of what was taking place.

Chapter 50
Getting Ready for Independence Day

I was shocked when I looked up and saw Evan staring at us from the other side of the sofa. Even though Reid and I only turned on a small lamp whenever we did this, I wondered how long Evan had been there and how much he'd observed. It was obvious he could see Reid's saliva coated erect penis glistening in the limited light, so I attempted to distract him.

"I thought you were sleeping," I stated.

"I woke up cuz I had to pee. I forgot to do it before I went to bed."

"So have you peed yet?"

"No, I heard a noise when I was going there and wanted to see what was making it."

Reid had been moaning while I'd been taking care of his needs, as he usually did, but I didn't think he'd been any louder than in the past. Apparently, he kept his moaning low enough for when Evan was asleep, although not quiet enough for when he was awake.

"Then go to the bathroom and I'll explain everything to you when you get back."

As soon as he disappeared, Reid turned toward me and spoke. "Let me tell him what we were doin'. I think I can explain it so he'll understand, cuz sometimes you go into too much detail and it gets confusing."

"I prefer to use each opportunity to inform you boys about the things you'll need to know, but I didn't realize that doing so made it confusing. If you want to do this, then go ahead."

Evan returned a minute later and marched right up to us. "So what were you doin'?"

"Evan, do you remember when you had me rub your wiener?" Evan immediately nodded in response. "Well, Uncle Quinn was doing the same thing to me, but he was using his mouth to do it, instead of his hand."

Evan thought about this for a few seconds before he responded. "Didn't his teeth hurt your wiener?"

Reid giggled. "No, he doesn't use his teeth, just his lips and tongue."

"So it feels good then?"

"Yep, it does."

"Uncle Quinn, will you do it to me so I can see how it feels?"

Now, it was my turn to stare at him in disbelief. I knew I couldn't refuse him, though, since he'd caught me doing it with his brother. "If I do it for you, will you go back to bed and let me finish up with your brother?"

"Yeah, I just want to see what it's like. I even put some water on my wiener so it won't taste like pee." He'd apparently assumed I was going to give in even before he'd asked.

"Ok, lay down on the sofa and I'll get started."

Evan quickly tugged down his pajama bottoms and hopped on the sofa. He had a slight grin on his face as he waited for me to get started, so I didn't disappoint him. I bent forward, extended my tongue and began to lick his scrotum and miniature penis.

"It feels like I'm being licked by a really friendly doggy," he said between giggles.

"So you've had a dog lick you there before?" Reid followed.

"No, silly. The doggy just licked my face and arms."

I continued working on him while they were talking, and his penis had firmed up during their conversation, so I lowered my mouth over it. There really wasn't enough to bob up and down on, but I continued to use my tongue and added suction.

"It tickles, but it feels good too."

I continued working on him for a couple of minutes, and then I stopped. "So what did you think of it?"

"It was fun and it made me feel good. I'm gonna try it with Eric when he stays over again."

"Just be careful and don't let your teeth scrape against his wiener," Reid warned. "Just lick and suck on it like it's a lollipop or a Popsicle, but don't bite it." The last comment caused Evan to laugh hysterically.

"I wouldn't do that. I like his wiener and wouldn't bite it off."

"Ok, are you satisfied now?" I asked, thinking I could send him back to bed. However, Evan had a question.

"When I do this with Eric, are we s'posed to do it until we get the tingles in our bellies, like we do when we rub each other's wieners?"

"Yes, that's what supposed to happen," I agreed. "Now, go get back in bed and go to sleep. We'll join you just as soon as I take care of Reid."

"K," he said as he hopped off the couch and pulled up his pajama bottoms. "Thanks for doin' that for me."

"You're welcome. Goodnight and sweet dreams."

After Evan took off, Reid turned to me and spoke. "That was scary, cuz I wasn't sure how he was goin' to react."

"I know, but I hope it was enough to satisfy him. I will have a chat with him about being careful if he tries doing it with Eric, because I don't want them to get caught. It would be one thing if someone discovered they were fondling one another, because that would be considered fairly normal. But if they were caught doing this, then that person might conclude that someone had taught them about oral sex, and then they might try to figure out who was responsible."

"Yeah, I hadn't thought about that."

I finished getting Reid off, and he orgasmed slightly quicker than normal. I suppose that watching me do it to his brother had turned him on and prompted a quicker response from him. However, I didn't let him return the favor, since I didn't want Evan to come out and catch us again.

As soon as we finished, we went back and crawled into bed with Evan. I didn't fall asleep right away, because I was thinking about what I was going to say to Evan in the morning, since I had to tell him about being careful if he did this with Eric. I must have eventually fallen asleep, though, because I found myself waking up between the two boys in the morning.

Once they were awake too, I decided to take a few seconds to give Evan a warning. "Evan, just like everything else, you've got to keep what we did last night a secret."

"Yeah, I know."

"And I only want you to do that with Eric when you're at our house. I don't want you doing it when you're there, because I don't want you getting caught. You can still do the other stuff, but if you were caught doing it with your mouth then we might all end up getting in trouble."

"Why?"

"Because it's not something people would figure boys your age would know about or do on their own. They would feel that someone had to teach you about doing it, so they'd probably think it was either me or Reid that taught you. Since you and Eric are so young, that could cause us big trouble."

"K, we'll only do it here then. I promise."

"Thank you."

While I'd been thinking about Evan and Eric doing this, I almost forgot that it was my turn to watch all of the kids today. It also made me wonder if Evan was going to tell Eric about what we'd done when he came over. I didn't want to bring the subject up first, because it was possible that Evan wouldn't say anything until Eric stayed over, but I would keep my eye on them so I could see what they were up to.

The kids all ran off to watch their morning shows first, so nothing unusual happened until after we finished eating lunch. After the girls had gone off to do their own thing, Evan and Eric walked up to me. "Can we go to your bedroom so you can show Eric what we did. He won't let me do it to him, cuz he's afraid I'll bite his wiener."

I didn't want to talk about this where the girls might overhear our conversation, because they could show up at any second. Therefore, I decided to do what they wanted. "Ok, go to my bedroom and I'll be there in a few seconds. I just want to let Reid know where I'll be."

They were fine with that and raced off to my apartment, while I went to tell Reid. "I think I need to talk to Evan and Eric about this, because Evan just told me Eric won't try it, since he's afraid Evan will bite his penis."

Reid laughed. "I probably would have thought that too, when I was their age, so go ahead."

When I got to my bedroom, both boys were sitting on the bed waiting for me. The minute I walked into the room, Evan jumped down to speak. "Will you do it to me first, so Eric will see that it's safe and fun?"

"If he doesn't want to do it, I don't think you should be forcing him into it."

"I'm not forcing him. I just want him to see what I'm talkin' about so he can decide if he wants to do it too."

"Yeah, I might try it, but I just want to see what he's talkin' about first," Eric added.

"See, so you got to show him by doin' it to me first," Evan concurred.

"I can't be teaching Eric about this stuff. I know your parents would understand if they found out, but I'm not so sure Eric's parents would."

"But I won't tell them about it," Eric stated in an attempt to convince me. "Please, I just want to see what Evan's talkin' about."

I was conflicted. I didn't want to do this, but since he already knew about it, I was afraid of how it might work out without my assistance, so I agreed. Evan immediately lowered his pants and briefs and hopped onto the bed.

"Show him it's ok, Uncle Quinn."

I began just as I had the previous night and licked Evan's scrotum and miniature shaft first. As soon as he was erect, I placed my mouth over it and added suction. Evan was oohing and ahhing as I did this.

"So you like it?" Eric asked him.

"Yeah, it feels good."

"Uncle Quinn, I want you to do it to me now," Eric announced.

"Eric, I'm not sure I should be doing this with you."

"Please, I won't tell nobody."

"But what if you and Evan get caught later? How will you explain how you found out about doing this?"

He thought about this for a few seconds before he answered. "What if I tell them that me and Evan peeked into Reid's room and saw him doing it with his friend?"

"I suppose that would work, but I'm just not sure Reid would be happy with you telling someone else that's how you found out about oral sex."

"I won't do it unless somebody finds out we're doin' it."

I felt that would do, but I wanted to talk it over with Reid first. "Ok, but let me see if it's ok with Reid before I agree to this. I'll be right back."

I went out and found Reid so I could explain the situation to him. He thought about it for a few moments before he answered. "I guess it would be ok, since I've been telling people that I'm gay anyway. I'm just not sure if Chad has told anyone yet."

"I'll tell the boys not to use his name, and then the others can try to figure out who the other boy might be. The thing is, he'll only tell someone if they get caught."

"Ok, then go ahead."

When I got back to my bedroom, Eric was already laying beside Evan on the mattress, with his pants and briefs around this knees. "I told him to get ready, cuz I knew Reid would say it was ok," Evan explained.

I merely shook my head and leaned down to get started. I did exactly the same thing I'd done to Evan earlier, and Eric giggled when I first started. "It tickles."

"Yeah, it did to me too," Evan agreed.

However, by the time I had his penis in my mouth and was sucking on it, he began moaning and started to enjoy it too. I only did it for a brief time, so he'd know what it was like, and then I pulled off his penis. "Ok, now you know what Evan wants to do with you, so I think that's enough for me."

"K, I'll do it with Evan now then," Eric agreed, making Evan happy. I left them alone because it sounded as if they wanted to try it now, so I went out to find Reid again.

The rest of the day was fairly uneventful, except that Eric and Evan thanked me when they rejoined us later. They said they had fun doing it and would probably try it again, so I just told them to be careful and not get caught. I also suggested that they only do this when they were here, and they both agreed before going off to play.

That night when Evan showered with us, he thanked me again. "I'm glad you showed Eric what it was like, cuz now he wants to do it with me too."

"I'm happy it worked out for you."

After we finished our shower, I sent him upstairs so his mother could tuck him in, and then I explained something to Reid. "It looks like we won't be able to do anything when Evan sleeps with us again."

"But he's already seen most of what we do, so we just won't make love if he wants to sleep with us again. Or you can just tell him he can't sleep with us any more."

"I don't want to prevent him from sleeping with us from time to time, so we'll have to figure something out. He also hasn't seen me rim you either, and I'm not sure if he'd react very well to it if he were to walk in while we were doing that."

"Ok, then we'll just suck each other off when he sleeps with us. That will be enough for me, as long as you don't let him sleep with us very often."

Once this had been cleared up, we took care of each other once again before we settled in to sleep.

When we woke up Tuesday morning, even Brad and Pam were home, because it was the actual Fourth of July holiday. There was going to be a lot going on today, so we'd all agreed to sleep in this morning and then have a late breakfast. Once we were finished, we started getting ready so we could go watch the Palisades Americanism Parade. It was billed as an old fashion Independence Day parade, so I couldn't wait to see what it was like.

I helped Pam pack a cooler to take with us, because we were going to spend the afternoon at a park after the parade, and we'd have lunch there. We decided to do this because we were going to stick around and watch the fireworks display later, since that has become such an integral part of celebrating the birth of our country.

We left the house well before the parade was scheduled to begin, because we wanted to get there early enough to find a place to park and a good spot along the parade route. We also took some lawn chairs with us so we wouldn't have to stand the entire time, but it would also make it easier for those behind us to see the parade too.

About ten minutes before the parade was scheduled to get underway, a small group of skydivers parachuted down, and along the way one of the men unfurled a large American flag. That caused the crowd to cheer and get into the spirit, as we heard the first of the bands begin to play.

The parade lived up to its billing and proved to be quite entertaining. One of the requirements for being part of the parade was that all participants must be in a uniform, costume, or other appropriate attire, so there was plenty of interesting things to look at. The parade had numerous bands, some from high schools, colleges, and various military groups, but they were all very good. There were also quite a few floats and many different types of vehicles, along with various other groups marching too. Some of the groups even stopped along the way so they could perform a set routine, and we all enjoyed watching them do that. The kids seemed to enjoy the entire parade, and when it was over we headed over to the park next.

Seeing it was nearly 5:00 now, and it had been quite a while since we'd eaten, we did that first. We'd packed sandwiches, drinks, and small bags of munchies to eat, along with cupcakes for dessert. After we'd spread out the blanket that we'd brought to sit on, we had an old fashion picnic.

As soon as we finished our meal, Evan and Ashley started teasing to go play on the playground equipment, so Brad and Pam took them to do that for a while. After they left, Reid and I decided to take a walk around the park so we could check it out. It was a typical small park and there wasn't a lot to see, but the walk was enjoyable and we got to investigate who else was there. It also gave Reid a chance to be alone with me, which made him happy.

After we returned to our picnic spot, and the other two had grown tired of playing on the swings and other equipment, we sat around and talked while we waited for it to get dark. Some of the other people started setting off firecrackers, as well as slightly larger explosive devices in the interim, possibly to get in the mood. However, once the sun had set and the first of the fireworks had exploded in the air above us, all eyes were glued on the heavens.

It was an impressive show, with a wide variety of fireworks being rocketed into the nighttime sky, and there was a massive finale to end this wonderful day of celebration. When it was over, we picked up everything and took it back to the SUV, ready to go home. When we got there, we hurried to take our showers next, because it was getting quite late.

After we'd washed up and I'd tucked Evan in bed, I returned to the bedroom and found Reid was barely able to keep his eyes open. Seeing he was so tired, I felt he'd be willing to skip our usual nightly routine, so I crawled into bed beside him and cuddled as we fell asleep.

Since we had such a busy Tuesday, and I knew the Van Pattens had done something similar, Amanda and I agreed to skip our Wednesday trip with the kids. She offered to watch them instead, since the previous day would have been her normal turn, so I walked Evan and Ashley over to their house to spend the day.

When I got back, I decided to use my time working on my next story, since I'd been distracted from doing it by other things, such as the camping trip and watching the kids. Reid didn't have a problem with this either, since he wanted me to finish it too, but mainly because it was a continuation of the story about his character. However, he also said he thought I should do something with him first, since we hadn't done anything the night before, but I told him I'd make it up to him tonight instead.

I didn't even take a break for lunch and Reid didn't bother me and merely fixed himself something to eat. I was still working on the story when Amanda brought Evan and Ashley home, so I took that as my cue to stop and begin fixing dinner.

Brad and Pam looked beat by the time they arrived home, so I figured that they hadn't gotten much sleep the night before. After we ate, I told them to take it easy for the rest of the night and possibly even go to bed early, and I'd take care of everything else. They thought it sounded like a very good idea and thanked me for the offer, but they spent a little time with the kids first, before turning in early.

I knew Ashley was able to take care of herself, but after I showered with the boys I went over to tuck her in after I'd done the same with Evan. She thanked me and said she liked it when I did this for her too, so I kissed her on the forehead and wished her sweet dreams.

Seeing I'd told Reid I'd make it up to him tonight, I decided I would make love to him, even if it wasn't the weekend yet. Reid was thrilled when I told him this, so I had him lay across the bed, with his butt slightly overhanging the side of the mattress, and slowly entered him. He immediately began to moan and sigh, which let me know he was enjoying this, not that I had any doubts he would.

I eased in and out of him for a couple of minutes before I reached down and began to masturbate him too. I stroked his penis at the same rhythm that my penis was sliding in and out of his backside, and this presented a slight problem for him. He wasn't sure if he should thrust back into my penis, or thrust upward into my hand, because it would be difficult to do both at the same time. Eventually, he merely opted to lay there and enjoy what I was doing to him.

After a few more minutes had passed, I could sense he was getting close. His body was beginning to stiffen, his penis was swelling slightly, and his testicles were drawing closer to his body. I tried to concentrate on what I was doing so we would ejaculate at nearly the same time, but he beat me to the finish line. As strands of his boy juices were catapulting from the tiny slit in his helmet, his intestines were also contracting, which brought me closer to the edge. In fact, it caused me to orgasm before the last of his semen had oozed out onto his belly, as I filled him with my ejaculate too.

As soon as the powerful ripples of my orgasm had begun to fade, I bent forward and kissed him, and then I suggested that we go shower again and clean up. He agreed, so we made our way back to the bathroom, and while I was adjusting the temp of the water, he sat on the toilet and emptied my semen from his bowels. As soon as he finished doing that, we jumped into the shower and washed each other again.

"Thank you. That was definitely worth not doing anything last night."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, so let's finished up and get some sleep."

He agreed, and before long we were in bed cuddling together, as we closed our eyes and prepared to sleep.

Chapter 51
A Busy Summer 1

Even though Brad and Pam's anniversary was still over a month away, I thought it was the appropriate time to start making a few plans. Therefore, I asked to speak with them alone, so I could offer a suggestion.

"Have you two considered going away for your anniversary? I think it would be nice if you were able to spend some time celebrating it alone with each other."

"But August 8th falls on a Tuesday this year," Brad countered.

"I'm impressed that you knew this already, without having to look it up on a calendar," Pam teased. "In fact, I'm amazed that you even remembered the date at all."

"Come on, I wouldn't forget that. It's one of the most important days of my life, along with the kids' birthdays."

"How sweet," Pam responded, and then she gave Brad a kiss.

When they pulled apart, I spoke again. "I was thinking you could go away the weekend before, seeing Evan and Ashley will be staying with the Van Pattens that weekend."

"That sounds like a wonderful idea," Pam agreed. "We'll talk it over and see what we can come up with. You know, this is the best present you could have given us. You're a pretty special guy and I'm glad Brad asked you to come live with us. I know you will take good care of Reid while we're gone, and with Amanda watching the other two, we won't have to worry about a thing."

"I think you've got that backward," I replied, causing a puzzled expression to form on her face. "I think Reid will be taking good care of me while you're gone." She laughed as she walked away.

I was thrilled that they were considering going away for a couple of days, because I felt it was important that they have some time to celebrate their special day alone. When I informed Reid about what would be happening that weekend, a huge grin formed on his face.

"Great! Evan and Ashley won't be here to bug us, and neither will Mom and Dad, so we can do whatever we want."

"Within reason," I warned.

"And we can make love whenever we want and not worry about a thing, cuz no one else will be here."

"That doesn't mean it's all we'll be doing that weekend, so don't think you can get carried away."

"I won't."

Seeing this had been taken care of, I went back to focusing on the current situation. Since it was Eric and Rylee's turn to stay with us, I had a few concerns. After the little show and tell I had with Evan and Eric the last time, I didn't know what to expect while Eric was here. Reid was going to be staying with Chad again, so I'd be here to deal with the younger boys alone. Would they try to talk me into doing something with them again, or had the situation been taken care of?

I was somewhat surprised that Eric and Evan only asked to shower with me on Friday night, and then I took them up to Evan's room and tucked them into bed. I was fairly certain they were going to do something after I left, but as long as it didn't include me and they were careful and didn't get caught, I was fine was that.

On Saturday, Eric and Evan spent most of the day together and didn't bother me. They spent quite a bit of time playing in Evan's room, so I suspected they were having fun sucking on each other's 'wieners' and didn't need any help from me. That changed when we were showering together Saturday night. As I was washing Eric, he asked a question.

"Can we sleep with you tonight?"

I immediately wondered if they had a hidden agenda, but I'd deal with that later. "Sure, as long as it's ok with Evan's mom and dad."

"I'll ask as soon as I put my jammies on," Evan agreed.

I finished washing and drying both boys, and then I helped them get into their pajamas. As soon as he was dressed, Evan bolted out of the room so he could find his mom and dad. He returned a couple of minutes later, nearly out of breath.

"They said it was ok, as long as Uncle Quinn agreed."

"Then let's go get in bed."

I was amazed that neither of them asked me to do anything with them. Instead, they both cuddled up against me, since there was one on either side, and before long I heard their gentle breathing, which told me they'd both fallen asleep. Satisfied, yet slightly confused, I allowed myself to drift off too. All in all, it was a very peaceful and restful night.

The rest of the weekend passed by quickly, and when Reid got home he convinced me to tell him where we were going on Wednesday. After he knew what we were planning, he asked if Chad could come with us. He said he'd mentioned that we were taking these trips when he was staying over this past weekend, and Chad asked if he could go with us sometime. Chad's father said it would be fine with him, as long as Amanda and I didn't feel Chad would be intruding. He also agreed to send Chad with enough money to pay his own way.

I didn't feel that Amanda would have a problem with Chad joining us, so I told Reid to go ahead and invite him to go with us on Wednesday. Since we'd be leaving early in the morning, I suggested that Chad should probably spend Tuesday night with us. That was fine with both boys, because they felt it meant we could all fool around before we went to sleep. I was all right with that too, so Chad walked to our place on Tuesday afternoon, carrying his overnight bag.

"Thanks for letting me stay over so I can go with you tomorrow."

"You should know you're always welcome."

"Yeah, but I still wanted to thank you."

We showered early that night, because I warned the kids that I'd be getting them up at 5:00, but Reid and Chad still wanted to fool around before we went to sleep. Therefore, I agreed to suck them off while using the dildos on them, and then they took care of me after they'd each enjoyed their release. We all went to sleep after that and experienced a rather pleasurable night's sleep.

I got the kids up early and fed them quickly, because we were going to take the train to San Diego to visit the zoo. This turned out to be a double treat for the younger group, because they had never ridden on a train before, so they spent a lot of time looking around the train car and staring out the windows.

When we got to the zoo, I decided to splurge and treated everyone to an 'Inside Look Surprise Tour'. Amanda tried to discourage me from doing this, saying "it's too expensive," but I insisted it was something I wanted to do. She finally relented and I used my credit card to pay the required fee.

A female guide took us around on a large cart, which looked like an elongated golf cart with several seats. During the two-hour tour we were allowed to visit what the guide referred to as 'off-exhibit' areas and got a behind the scenes look at the employees duties when taking care of the animals. We got to feed a few of the animals too, including a pair of giraffes, and we also made a brief stop to see the giant pandas. As far as I was concerned, it was well worth the cost.

After the tour ended, we grabbed something to eat, and then we did a normal tour of the zoo on foot. We spent a great deal of time checking out the various animal exhibits, and I had to admit I was very impressed. It was one of the nicest zoos I'd ever visited and it gave the kids a new perspective on some of the animals they were already familiar with.

"Hey, a zebra is just a striped horse," Evan announced, somewhat surprised.

"And I didn't know a sloth was that big," Rylee stated. "I thought they would be more like squirrels."

"I thought the pandas were really cute," Ashley stated. "They looked like big stuffed animals, and the smaller ones were playful too."

"I liked the elephants," Eric added. "They're big, but not nearly as big as dinosaurs, but do you think they can really paint?"

"Yes, to some extent," I answered. "They might not produce any great works of art, but they are able to hold the brushes with their trunks and then use them on the canvas, or whatever else they're painting on."

"I was impressed with the polar bears," Reid confessed. "Other types of bears are big, but polar bears are massive. I pity anyone who runs into one of those out in the wild." I had to agree.

"How about you, Chad?" He hadn't said anything yet, and I was wondering if he thought he couldn't offer his own thoughts.

"I knew the giraffes had long necks, but I didn't realize how long, but I was really fascinated with their tongues. When we were feeding them, they used their tongue to reach out and grab the food from us, almost like they were using a hand."

"It's closer to what the elephants do with their trunks, but I'm sure you must have been surprised when it happened."

It turned out to be a long and tiring day, and by late afternoon we were back on the train heading home. "Thanks for taking us," Ashley told Amanda and me on the way back. "That was fun."

"Yeah, it was," the others agreed.

After we returned to the station, we quickly got off the train and loaded into the SUV. We dropped Amanda and her kids off at their house first, and then I took Chad home next. When the rest of us got to the house, we had a late dinner with their parents, and the kids spent the entire meal telling their mom and dad about the trip. I could tell they had really enjoyed their time at the zoo, so I was glad we had taken them there.

Since we'd gotten home so late, it wasn't very long after we'd eaten that it was time to shower and get ready for bed. Evan and Reid went with me again, and after we'd finished washing each other, I sent Evan up to his room. Once he was gone, Reid and I got into bed and merely went to sleep, because it had been a long and draining day.

Eric and Rylee came over to spend Thursday with us, and then I took Evan and Ashley over to spend Friday with Amanda and the other pair. I had them take their things with them, since they'd be spending the weekend as well, while I was hoping to spend most of the time working on my story. Reid, however, had other ideas and wanted some of my attention too.

"Can we do something before Chad gets here and Mom and Dad come home?" It had slipped my mind that Chad was going to be spending the weekend with us.

"So you want to do that now, instead of later with Chad?"

"I want to make love now, but I'm sure Chad would enjoy doing something with us later."

"That may be, but why don't you two just do it with each other."

"We'd rather have you do it with us."

"Are you trying to wear me out?" I was merely joking, but Reid took the question seriously.

"No, but I really enjoy it when we make love. So can we do that now and then do something with Chad later?" I took a few seconds before I answered, because I wanted to watch him squirm for a few seconds first.

"Ok, I suppose that will be alright," I answered after I saw he was beginning to grow impatient.

Reid immediately leaped in the air, and then he grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the bedroom. As soon as we got there, I had another question for him. "So who's doing what this time?"

"I want you to make love to me," he answered without hesitation. "You know I like that best."

"Yes, I do, but I didn't want to assume anything."

After saying that, I pulled him against me and placed my mouth over his. I think I'd surprised him momentarily, since he hadn't expected me to do this quite so quickly, but he soon got into it and we began to duel with our tongues. We only parted briefly from time to time so I could remove his clothing, and once he was completely naked, I guided him to the bed and lowered him onto the mattress.

For the next several minutes, Reid was my canvas and I was the artist placing delicate strokes to create my work of love. Reid was squirming, gasping, and sighing as I worked my way along his body and used my tongue to paint him with my saliva. He may have been the only one aware of the masterpiece I was creating, but I could tell by his movements and the little noises he was making that he loved it.

After I'd rimmed him, I got off the bed and removed my clothes too, and then I laid down on the bed beside him. He knew what that meant and rapidly began working on me, duplicating nearly everything I'd done to him. Once he finished, I lubed up his rectum and my penis before explaining how we would proceed this time.

"I'm going to let you take charge and control the action."

"But I want you to make love to me!"

"I will, but you'll be the one in control and setting the pace."

"I don't understand."

"We're going to do something a little different this time, so the first thing I want you to do is to stand up on the mattress and place your feet on either side of my hips." He looked puzzled, but did as I'd requested. "Now, you're going to squat down and sit on my penis."

"Oh, I see. Like sitting on the seat on my bike."

"It will be more like you're going to ride a bucking bronco at the rodeo," I teased, causing him to giggle.

He immediately began to lower his body over my midsection, and I held my penis so it was pointing at his hole. He didn't hesitate and started to sit on it, but I was worried that he was trying to do it too quickly. He didn't seem to be having any trouble accepting it into this body, though, and as soon as his butt touched my groin, he started to bounce up and down on it.

"Yee-haa!" I quipped, as I bucked upward to meet his downward movements.

"Very funny," he scoffed, giving me a dirty look.

We continued doing this for several minutes before he made a comment. "This is really hard on my legs and they're getting sore."

"Then rather than squatting down on it, get on you knees and sit on it instead. You can bounce up and down on it that way and it shouldn't be so hard on the muscles in your legs."

He did as I suggested and started raising and lowering his body, while I continued thrusting my hips to meet him part way. We continued like that for a few more minutes, and then I could feel the juices starting to boil in my loins. I knew this meant I was approaching the finish line, so I placed a hand on each of his hips and took control of the action.

I gradually increased the pace until I was jackhammering into his backside, and before long my penis erupted and I filled Reid's bowels with my love juices. After several powerful spurts, I began to settle down, completely drained. A few seconds later, I heard Reid's voice.

"Hey, I didn't cum this time," He whined, sounding more than a little disappointed.

"I told you it probably wouldn't happen every time we made love," I offered. "But don't worry, I'll help you get off now."

"I know, but it's so much better when I cum while you're making love to me. That's when I know we're truly one."

"We still are, but there are other factors involved with making you cum that way, besides the fact that we love each other. It may have also been that you just weren't used to doing it this way."

"I hope that's all it was."

As soon we finished our discussion, I got into position to suck him off. I would have masturbated him while we were making love, if I'd known in advance that he wasn't going to ejaculate during our coupling. But I didn't want to ruin it for him if he orgasmed without my help, so now I'd have to make it up to him.

I worked on his penis and did my best to make this the most memorable blowjob I'd ever given him. I knew it wouldn't totally compensate for his disappointment about not being able to cum while we were making love, but it would have to do. I continued to bob my head up and down on his stiff rod, adding suction as I made love to it with my lips and tongue. After he'd orgasmed too, we cuddled together for a few more minutes and just enjoyed the closeness, before we got out of bed and cleaned up.

Later, after Chad arrived and we'd spent some time with Brad and Pam; Reid, Chad, and I went to my bedroom. The boys wanted to do something first, so I asked what they had in mind. We'd done many different things together, so I wasn't sure what they might want to do this time. I'm afraid I was left with my mouth hanging open when Reid made his suggestion.

"How about I fuck you and Chad can do it to me at the same time? Then, we'll suck you off later, after we're done."

"You mean Uncle Quinn will let you do that to him?"

"I don't know, that's why I'm asking," Reid answered. "So what do you think? Can we do that?" I made it look like I had to think about it before I answered.

"It certainly won't be the first time I've had someone's penis in my butt, so I suppose it would be all right."

I sucked both boys briefly to get them hard, and then I lubed up myself and Reid while he and Chad slipped on condoms and added some lube to them too. Once we were ready, I got on all fours on the bed and Reid got behind me. After he'd inserted his penis in me, Chad got behind him and slipped his dick into Reid's chute as well. Now that we were set, the boys started to thrust back and forth, but it wasn't working out like they'd expected.

Since it was the first time we'd done it this way, it took them a while to figure out that the person in the middle needed to control the action. First, Reid would thrust into me, while also pulling off of Chad's dick, and then he would backup and impale himself on Chad's penis again as he was withdrawing from me. Once they figured this out and got their rhythm down, it didn't take very long for both boys to cum. Then, they joined forces and worked on me next, with Chad sucking me off as Reid worked on my nipples. After I'd enjoyed my release too, we went to take our shower, and then we cuddled together in bed, content in each other's embrace.

On Saturday night, the boys wanted to do basically the same thing we'd done the day before, only this time Chad would fuck me, while Reid was fucking him. It went a little smoother this time, since the boys had a better idea about how it should work, and Chad controlled the action. After they both shot their loads, Reid sucked me off as Chad nursed on my tits, and then we showered before cuddling together in bed.

The next few days seemed to fly by, and it was soon time for our next trip. This time Amanda and I decided to take the kids to visit Ripley's Believe It or Not! Hollywood Museum, and we invited Chad to go with us again. However, this time he didn't spend the night and I merely picked him up at his house in the morning.

When we reached our destination, we quickly discovered there were two floors and eleven themed exhibit galleries in what they referred to as the 'Odditorium'. Over the course of the day, we saw many strange and interesting sights as we made our way through the various exhibits. When we had seen everything, I asked the kids what they liked the best.

"The shrunken heads," Eric blurted out without hesitation. "I still can't believe they were real."

"They definitely were," I confirmed.

"But how do they get a real head to be that small?"

"First, they have to remove the skull and then they boil the rest. After that, they fill the empty flesh with something small, like sand or sawdust, to help it keep its shape."

"Oh, ok. I think I see now."

"I liked when we saw the picture of Michael Jackson," Ashley followed. "I just couldn't believe it was made out of candy."

"I liked the big robot best," Rylee said next. She was referring to the 12-foot tall robot that had been made from scrap car parts.

"I liked the Vampire Killing Kit," Evan chimed in. "They could have used that in the Twilight movies."

"I liked the Star Wars gallery," Reid stated next. "I thought it was really neat to be able to see all of that stuff close up."

"Yes, I found it interesting too," I agreed. "What did you like, Chad?"

"I was blown away by two different things. The first was the two-headed calf. It was really weird looking, and I wonder how it decided which head would do the eating. The other thing was the replica of the world's tallest man. Damn, he was eight feet eleven inches [2.72 m] tall and I just barely came up to his waist."

"Yes, those were both very unusual exhibits," I agreed.

Once the others had moved away from us, Chad whispered to Reid and me. "I wonder how big his dick was? It must have been huge!" His comment cause Reid and me to shake our heads and smile.

There were also numerous interactive displays and games the kids were able to play with, so we ended up spending the better part of the day there. When we had seen and done everything they wanted, we headed home. Once again, our three told their parents all about the trip, and they were all still slightly wound up as they were heading to bed. I just hoped it wouldn't take very long before they finally fell asleep.

On Thursday night, I decided to press Brad and Pam after dinner to see what arrangements they'd made for their weekend away. "So, have you made plans yet?"

"Yes, we have, and I can hardly wait to do it now," Pam replied. "We're going to Napa Valley for the weekend. We'll drive there on Friday, after work, and then we'll spend Saturday touring the wineries. We've already made a reservation so we can have a romantic anniversary dinner on Saturday night, and then we'll come home on Sunday and tell you all about it."

"That sounds wonderful, and I hope you both have a great time."

"Thanks for allowing us to get away," Brad added. "I know we're both looking forward to doing this."

"I hope he doesn't overindulge on the wine and then become unable to enjoy the rest of the night," Pam teased, and I felt she was referring to having sex later.

"Trust me, you don't have to worry about that," Brad responded. "I think I'm looking forward to everything as much as you are." I was glad to hear him say this, and I could tell Pam was too.

On Saturday, we were invited to the Van Patten's house for a cookout and to celebrate Eric's eighth birthday. This was one of those weekends that we'd agreed the kids would stay at their own houses, because we felt it would take some of the pressure off of Amanda. She would have enough to do just getting ready for the party and didn't need any other distractions.

As it turned out, it was a fun day, and once again Bob was home with his family. He grilled hamburgers and hot dogs for the kids, and steaks for the adults, and Amanda made French fries and a couple of other dishes to go along with it. After we finished eating, we took a little time to just sit and talk for a while and let the kids entertain each other. Later, we had the cake and ice cream and watched Eric open his presents, and then we thanked the Van Pattens for inviting us and returned home.

While planning our next trip, Amanda and I agreed that since the kids had been so interested in the dinosaurs when we visited the Natural History Museum, we'd do something similar. This time, we'd take them to see the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum so they could see the remains of more prehistoric animals that once roamed this area. However, these animals lived long after the dinosaurs, during the Ice Age, and their remains were later discovered in the tar pits, where they'd been encased in that substance for millennia.

We invited Chad to go with us again, and I still felt badly that we hadn't thought about inviting him when we went to the Natural History Museum. We merely stopped for him before picking up Amanda and her kids, and then we were on our way.

Shortly after we entered the museum, the kids got to see the skeletons of several more extinct animals. This included a California condor, a dire wolf, a giant ground sloth, a Western horse, a wooly mammoth, and a Smilodon (a saber-toothed cat). We also took the guided 'Excavator Tour' and learned how the excavators and scientists located the fossils and pieced them back together. We also got an up close look at several areas, which included the Fossil Lab, the Lake Pit, the Observation Pit, and Project 23 – an active dig site where Zed, a Columbian mammoth, was found.

"So what did you like best about this place?" I asked on the ride home.

"All the skeletons," Eric answered. "They let us see how big the animals were."

"I liked the smiley-don with those big teeth best," Evan added. His comment caused the older kids to giggle over his mispronunciation of Smilodon.

"I thought it was interesting when we learned how the animals got stuck there," Ashley confessed. "They said some of them ended up in the tar by accident, because they just wandered into it and got stuck, but then more animals got trapped there when they tried to eat the animals that were stuck."

"I hope that teaches you to stop and think about what you're going to do before you do it," I countered. Ashley had to stop and think about what I said for a few seconds before she understood.

"I liked the movie that showed what it was like when those animals were alive and how the earth was covered in ice," Rylee admitted. "It was also good to see what the animals really looked like, and not just their bones." She was referring to the 3-D movie, Titans of the Ice Age.

"I liked the skeletons too," Chad agreed when I looked at him next. "The tusks on the mammoth were enormous, and I didn't know there were once camels living around here too."

"There were, but they were more closely related to the llamas in South American, rather than the camels from Africa or Asia," I explained.

"And I was amazed when I learned they found all the bones mixed together in the tar and then had to figure out which animal they belonged to and how to put them together," Reid stated next. "They must have had to go to school for a really long time to be able to figure all that out."

"Yes, it's a very specialized area and you have to know a lot about the different species and their anatomy," I agreed.

"They must have a lot more patience than I would, if I tried doing something like that," Amanda confessed.

"Yes, I doubt I'd be able to do it either," I agreed.

After we'd dropped the others off and returned home, the kids were eager to tell Brad and Pam about our trip. It made me feel good to hear what they were saying, because it confirmed that they were truly enjoying these outings.

Chapter 52
A Busy Summer 2

On Wednesday it was time for our next day trip, and this time Amanda and I decided to take the kids to the Aquarium of the Pacific at Long Beach. We quickly discovered it was an amazing place with 11,000 aquatic animals on exhibit, and I think we saw nearly every one of them during our visit. We also took the 'Behind the Scenes Tour' and got to see several areas that are not open to most visitors. We even got to see how much work was involved in running the operation, and learned what the employees have to do when taking care of the various animals. They took us on a visit to a tropical reef too, and let the kids feed the fish, which they all seemed to enjoy.

After spending the day there, I once again wanted to find out what everyone liked best. "So out of everything you saw today, which area was your favorite?"

"The sharks," Evan shouted. "There were so many different kinds, and one had a really funny looking head."

"That was the Hammerhead shark," I clarified, as he referred to our stop at Shark Lagoon.

"Yeah, and some of the sharks are really small, but others are really big, and they all have lots of sharp teeth," he added. "I was kinda scared when they let us reach into the 'shark and ray pool' so we could touch them, but I didn't get bit, so it was fun."

"I liked the sea otters best," Rylee said next. "They were fun to watch, 'specially when they dived down in the water. I also liked watching them play tag with each other or when they floated on their backs." The otters didn't actually play tag with each other, but their actions made it appear to be what they were doing.

"I liked the jellyfish," Ashley offered. "They were beautiful and so graceful in the water. You could even see right through them. I was sad when I learned they mostly ended up being food for the other animals when they lived in the oceans."

"I liked the penguins, but I didn't know there were so many different kinds," Eric chipped in. "They were all black and white, but they didn't look the same. Some of them had other colors too, like the ones with yellow on them, and there were some that had stuff sticking out of their skin like feathers. The tallest ones were as big as me, but the smallest kind only came up to my knee, and it wasn't a baby either."

"I got a kick out of seeing the seals and sea lions," Chad said next. "They can be really funny sometimes, and I really liked watching them."

I looked over at Reid, because he hadn't said anything yet. "Oh, I liked the whales," he added, once he realized I was waiting for him to say something. "Even the smallest whales are huge, but most of them only eat really small stuff, like plankton. I was surprised when the guy told us that the Blue Whale, the largest of all the whales, would choke on something the size of an orange. I got a kick out of hearing the sounds they make too, and I think the guy called it 'whale song'. I'm just sad that some whale species are still being hunted and might go extinct."

"Yes, it's surprising that whales are still being slaughtered," I agreed. "I think most people believe the practice of whaling ended in the 1800s, but it's still going strong in some countries."

I was mildly surprised when Amanda added her observation next. "I got a kick out of the unusual types of animals, like the sea horses and the things that looked like small dragons. Even the scientists have trouble explaining how they evolved like they have."

"Yes, there are a lot of unusual creatures in the ocean, and the ones you mentioned have to be at the top of that list," I agreed.

After I'd dropped everyone else off, we returned home and sat down to have dinner with their parents. The kids were busily filling their mom and dad in about their day, in between shoving forkfuls of food into their mouths. They eagerly told Brad and Pam about the animals they'd seen, and their parents merely smiled and listened to every word. I could tell they were both pleased watching how the kids were reacting to what Amanda and I have been doing with them, and I could also tell they appreciated our efforts.

The kids spent Thursday with me too and continued talking about the trip, but eventually they tired of doing that and went off to spend time with each other. I didn't see much of them after that, except for Reid, but he allowed me some time to work on my story too, so I was grateful.

That evening after dinner, Brad and Pam got busy packing for their anniversary weekend away. After they'd placed what they needed in their suitcase, they set it by the front door so they wouldn't forget to take it with them in the morning. They were going to leave on their trip right after work, and this way they wouldn't have to return home first. Before we went to bed that night, the kids and I told them to have fun and we all promised to be good. I think that meant more coming from me than from their children.

After I dropped Evan and Ashley off with Amanda on Friday morning, since they were spending both the day and weekend there, I returned home. I didn't see Reid when I first got back, but I didn't give it much thought. I merely figured he was doing something up in his room, or possibly even using the bathroom, so I went to my apartment to work on my story. I'd just sat down and had barely gotten started when Reid walked out of my bedroom, totally naked.

"Wouldn't you rather work on this, instead of your laptop?" he asked as he made seductive movements with his mouth and hips.

"You said you weren't going to get carried away and we've only been alone for a few minutes."

"I didn't say we couldn't start early, just that I wouldn't get carried away."

"So if I do this, then you'll let me spend some time working on my story?"

"Yes, just not all day. I want to spend time with you too."

Since I was already distracted and his presence was turning me on, I got up and followed him to my bedroom. As soon as I got near the bed, Reid turned around and began kissing me, while at the same time removing my clothing. Once I was naked too, I grabbed the lube and guided him onto the bed, as I began to take charge.

I knew Reid preferred being the bottom and felt it would satisfy him more so he'd leave me alone for a while, so that's what I was planning to do. I didn't rush it, though, and took my time working on the other areas of his body first, as I started at the top and then worked my way lower. After kissing his face and neck, I moved down to his chest and began to work my way to his waist. When I finally reached his midsection, I only worked on that area briefly before moving into position to rim him.

Reid's sudden sighing made it sound as if he was truly in heaven, once he felt my tongue make contact with his flesh. I spent quite a bit of time with my tongue either running around his hole or darting in and out of that opening, because I knew how much he enjoyed it. When I was ready to move on, I quickly lubed both of us up and then prepared to enter him.

Reid was smiling and practically glowing when my penis made contact with his sphincter. As soon as the head of my penis penetrated the guardian to the temple, he started moaning and cooing in delight. I quickly developed a nice steady rhythm, one that we would both enjoy. Reid was bucking his hips to assist me every time I slid into him, and then he would relax when I withdrew. He was a very active partner and seemed to love doing this.

We carried on like that for quite a few minutes, and both of us were starting to work up a sweat. I was glad no one else was home at the time, because Reid was carrying on like a madman and wailing like a banshee, making more noise than ever before. Suddenly, his body stiffened and his intestines spasmed around my penis just before several strands of semen jettisoned from the opening at the tip of his dick. From the expression on his face, I could tell he was thrilled that he'd enjoyed another hands-free ejaculation.

His release also sent me over the edge, as his internal muscular contractions milked my penis at the same time, and I was soon filling his bowels with my seed. As soon as we were both completely drained, I collapsed on the bed beside him, and we caught our breath as we reveled in our post-orgasmic bliss.

Once he had time to recover, Reid sat up and turned toward me. "You did it again! You made me cum without even touching my dick!"

"Yes, I noticed that too."

"Man, I love when it happens. And I love when you make love to me. That's my favorite." "I'm glad you enjoyed it, because I did too." I held him for a couple of minutes as we enjoyed the closeness, and then we decided to clean up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.

I got dressed afterward, but Reid stayed naked. Even though he let me work on my story, he was never far away and even fixed lunch for both of us without putting anything on. I have to admit his naked body was more than a little distracting, but somehow I managed to accomplish quite a bit on the story. However, I would decide about how well I'd done on it later, when I went back to proofread what I had written.

Reid had previously told Chad that he couldn't come over on Friday night, because he said he would be spending time with his parents before they left on their trip. I thought Reid was taking a chance doing this and that Chad might get upset later, if he discovered the excuse had been a lie. However, Reid wanted me all to himself, so he told Chad not to come over until after lunch on Saturday, but he promised we would all mess around the rest of the day.

Later that night, Reid made love to me before we went to bed. I thought it would be best if we alternated doing this, but I also promised to make love to him again on Sunday night, after Chad went home. Reid stayed naked throughout Saturday morning too, and he even talked me into making love to him again before Chad arrived. He didn't have a hands-free ejaculation this time, so I sucked him off afterward, but we were definitely doing more than I'd first anticipated. After we showered, Reid finally got dressed and we went out to prepare something to eat.

Chad showed up just as we finished cleaning up the kitchen. After he said hello to both of us, he had something else he wanted to tell us. "I hope you guys are ready to do something, cuz I need to make up for missing out on doing anything last night."

"Yeah, I'm sorry about that, so what did you have in mind?" Reid asked, still trying to hide his deception.

"Can we do the same thing we did when I spent the weekend after we went to the zoo?"

"I take it you mean that you want to have intercourse with me and each other again," I stated to clarify the situation.

"Yeah, 'cept this time I hope you'll be willing to do it to us too, not just us doing it to you."

"I'm willing to do what we did the last time, but neither of you is ready to handle anything as large as me yet." I figured Reid was smart enough so he wouldn't try to correct me on this in front of Chad. "If you're only asking because you're hoping I'll have intercourse with you, then you'd better come up with something else."

"I was just hoping, but we can do like we did before. I'll be in the middle first this time, and then Reid can be in the middle tonight, before we go to bed."

Since this had been agreed to, I took out the lube and condoms so we could get ready. Once we were set, we got into position and we got started. Since Chad was in the middle position first, he controlled the action and set the pace. I took it that he was more than a little horny, because instead of starting out like this was a marathon, he turned it into a sprint. He was pounding away at my backside and impaling himself on Reid's penis at such a hectic pace that it didn't take him very long to ejaculate. Reid, on the other hand, wasn't quite ready to cum yet, so Chad had to stay put until Reid had orgasmed as well.

"See, I told you I needed to make up for not doin' anything last night," Chad confessed. "I guess you musta done something, though, cuz it took you longer when you fucked me," he added, looking at Reid.

"Yeah, Uncle Quinn sucked me off, so I wasn't as bad as you."

"I'll get even with you later, when it's my turn to fuck you," Chad quipped, before we went to clean up.

That seemed to take care of them temporarily, so they went off to do something else and let me return to my writing. I did that until I went out to fix dinner, and the boys came looking for me while I was working in the kitchen.

"After we eat, will you watch a movie with us?" Reid asked.

"I don't know what's on, but I'm sure we can find something," I agreed.

"We want to do that until we go to your bedroom and have sex again," Chad confirmed.

"Ok, I guess I can live with that."

When we finished eating, we went to the family room to see what was on. To our surprise, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire was being shown on one of the networks, and even though we'd all seen it before, the boys wanted to watch it again. We sat on the sofa and got comfortable, with one boy on either side of me, and we waited for the movie to begin. It had only been on for ten or fifteen minutes when I felt both boys suddenly lean against me, as they rested their heads on my shoulders.

During the first commercial, Reid went out to get us each a drink, and we sipped on those while we continued watching the screen. When the movie ended, we went to take a leak first, and then we went into the bedroom and got ready for round two.

This time Reid was in the middle and he definitely took control. He started out at a nice easy pace, because he was prepared to enjoy this and make it last. I had a feeling Chad might get frustrated by the slower pace, but if he wanted to be a great lover he'd have to learn how to delay his urge to orgasm and prolong the love making process.

I was really enjoying Reid's gentle and loving manner, because he kept bending over and kissing my neck and back as he slid in and out of my backside, but then I heard Chad urge him to go faster. "Come on. Pick up the pace."

"Chad, you've got to learn to enjoy the journey, not just reaching the destination," I offered. I concluded that he probably didn't understand what I meant, so I was prepared to sit down with him tomorrow so I could explain it to him.

Eventually, Reid picked up the pace, much to Chad's relief, and before long they were getting ready to make their deposits into the condoms. From what I could tell, Chad orgasmed first, and then Reid followed suit a couple of minutes later. Then, we all collapsed on the bed for a brief time, before we got up to take a shower. Chad reminded me that I hadn't cum this time, but I told him I was satisfied with what we'd done, since I'd ejaculated earlier.

After we finished up in the bathroom, none of us put anything on before jumping into bed. Both boys cuddled against my side and kissed me on the cheek, so I kissed each of them on the forehead before reaching over to turn off the lamp. We spent the night tangled together, since both boys slept on their sides and draped an arm and leg over my body.

We slept in late the following morning, and then after breakfast the boys announced they wanted to do something before Chad had to go home. I offered to suck them off and use the dildos on them this time and they agreed, but only if they could help me get off too. After I consented, we got started.

I worked on Chad first, since he still seemed to be extremely horny, and after I got him off, I started working on Reid next. Rather than wait for me to finish, Chad began sucking on my penis too, so I let him continue while I was busy with Reid. After Reid shot his load into my mouth, I gave him a few minutes to enjoy the lingering effects of his orgasm. When he was ready, he merely looked at Chad and shook his head when he saw Chad had started without him. Undeterred, Reid began kissing me instead, and then a few minutes later I filled Chad's throat with my creamy load.

We decided to shower after we finished, and then we spent a little more time together before Chad grabbed his gear and headed home. I didn't go to pick up Evan and Ashley right away, but we were all home when Brad and Pam arrived later. They appeared quite tired, although they looked very happy, and they assured us they'd had a great time.

"How was the drive?" I asked.

"It wasn't bad at all," Brad answered.

"And the weather was beautiful, so it made the drive quite lovely after we got off the highway," Pam added.

"What did you do on the trip?" Ashley wanted to know.

"We toured the wineries and drank quite a few different types of wine on Saturday, and that night we had a wonderful and very romantic dinner. We slept in late this morning and then went to brunch before making the trip back. Thank you for allowing us to do this."

"I'm just glad you had a nice time."

"Better than nice," Brad concurred, while slyly winking to let me know there was a hidden message there.

After I showered with Evan and Reid, I made love to Reid again, since I'd promised to do that for him. I did it using his favorite position, with him laying on his back, because he liked to watch me for as long as he could, plus it was easier to kiss when we were using this method.

After I filled him with my man seed and he'd enjoyed another hands-free ejaculation, we went to clean up, and then we got into bed and cuddled together. I think he was satisfied with the way the weekend went, even though we didn't spend the entire time alone, like he originally wanted. However, I felt we'd probably had more sex than his mom and dad over the weekend.

Our final trip with the kids this summer happened on the second Wednesday in August, and once again we included Chad. This time, we took them to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios. It turned out to be a very hectic day, since there was so much to see and do, and as we were finally getting ready to leave, we decided to ask the kids about this trip.

"Ok, what did you like the best this time?"

"I liked the ride, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey," Evan quickly replied. "It was almost like I was riding on a broomstick with Harry and we were flying all around Hogwarts."

"And I'm glad you pointed out that we should quiet down and listen when we were getting off the ride," Reid confessed. "I don't think any of us would have heard the potions professor giving a lecture behind the door if you hadn't told us about it."

"I liked that ride too, but I liked the Flight of the Hippogriff better," Eric followed. That was a roller coaster ride that circled around the pumpkin patch and zipped by Hagrid's hut.

"I enjoyed hearing the Frog Choir," Rylee added. "It was neat listening to the Hogwarts' students sing with their croaking frogs."

"I liked the Hogwarts Spirit Rally best," Ashley confirmed. "It was fun cheering on the students who were competing in the Triwizard Tournament."

"I thought most of it was pretty neat too," Reid finished, "but some of it was kinda childish."

"Yeah, I agree with Reid," Chad added, "but I really enjoyed the rides."

"Ah, yes. I forgot you two are sophisticated high schoolers now," I teased in response. My comment caused Chad to make a face, while Reid gave me a playful punch in the arm.

"What about when we went to Hogsmeade? What did you like there?" Amanda asked next.

"I liked the cello that was playing itself," Rylee answered. That was in the window of Dominic Maestro's Music Shop.

"I liked the cat made out of measrin' tape. Its tail even moved," Eric offered. We saw that in Gladrags Wizardwear.

"I liked the Sword of Gryffindor," Evan stated. It was hanging in a frame on the wall of Filch's Emporium.

"When I used the bathroom, I heard someone complaining and crying," Ashley confessed. "I was kinda scared at first, and then I realized it was just Moaning Myrtle."

"Well, I got a kick out of the owl that kept coming out of the Owlery," Amanda added. "It reminded me of a cuckoo popping out of a clock."

"Yeah, I thought the same thing," I agreed.

"When we stopped at the Three Broomsticks to eat, did any of you notice the talking heads in the Hogshead Pub?" Reid wanted to know.

"I did. I think those were the same heads that were in the movie The Prisoner of Azkaban," Ashley concurred.

"And they were kinda gross looking," Eric added while making a face.

"Yeah, they looked like hunting trophies hanging on the wall," Rylee pointed out.

"The things on the pig's face looked like white hooks," Evan observed.

"That was a boar's head and those were its tusks," I explained. "They were curved like hooks, though."

"I liked drinking the mug of Butterbeer," Chad offered. "But I don't think it had any alcohol in it."

"No, there wasn't, or you wouldn't have been able to have it," I confirmed.

"Then why do they call it ButterBEER?" he challenged.

"I guess it's like root beer or birch beer, but it doesn't mean it's alcoholic," I answered. He merely shook his head in response.

Since no one said anything else, Amanda posed another question. "What about Diagon Alley? What did you like there?"

"I liked riding on the Hogwarts Express from Hogsmeade to Diagon Alley," Rylee began. "It was a lot more fun than when we rode on the train to get to the zoo."

"I liked watching Kreacher peeking out the window at us," Evan said next. That happened at the Black residence at 12 Grimmauld Place.

"I liked it when we looked inside the back of the Night Bus and saw all the beds the riders got to sleep on," Ashley added. "I'd like to try riding like that."

"I preferred going to Weasley's Wizard Wheezes," Reid stated. "Did any of you notice that if you looked up at the second floor balcony you could see Dolores Umbridge, that miserable old bat, standing there?" A couple of them agreed they had.

"I got a kick out of watching each of you picking out a wand at Olivanders," Amanda chimed in.

"Actually, the wand selects the wizard," I corrected. "But I thought it was nice that they gave each of you a free map with the wand."

"And when we held the maps under the black light in Knockturn Alley, a bunch of little figures popped out. That was pretty neat too," Reid admitted.

"I like the Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts ride," Chad offered. "I think it was the best ride there."

"I'm surprised none of you mentioned the goblin at the Money Exchange in Carkitt Market," Amanda pointed out.

"Oh, yeah. That was pretty neat too," Ashley agreed.

"Yeah, the goblin answered every question that someone asked him," Rylee added.

"He looked mean, though," Eric observed.

"I think all goblins look that way," Evan stated. "I think it's just the way they're born."

"Well, it sounds as if you all enjoyed your time here, so I'm glad we came," I concluded. "Now, it's time to get you all home and ready for bed."

That caused a few groans, but it wasn't too bad, because they were all tired from walking around. They'd had fun, though, and came home with a souvenir wand, so I don't think any of them were about to complain.

In fact, it turned out that Reid was so tired that he decided he wasn't up to doing anything sexual tonight. After we took our shower, he even asked if he and Evan could sleep with me. I knew he did this for Evan's sake, but I suspect he felt it would also kill two birds with one stone, in a manner of speaking. Not only would it make Evan happy, but we also wouldn't have to worry about getting caught doing anything either, since Reid didn't feel up to it anyway. Therefore, I got into bed and the two boys crawled in on either side of me. Eventually, they cuddled against me, which made me feel truly loved and appreciated.

Chapter 53
Our First Year Comes to an End

School started the following week, and Reid had to go the day before the other kids so he could attend Freshman Orientation at the high school. This meant I'd be home alone during the day for the most part, so I'd have plenty of time to concentrate on my writing again.

Ashley was excited because Rylee was attending the middle school this year, although Rylee was still a grade behind her, in fifth grade. Evan and Eric were both in third grade, but they had been assigned to different classes, much to their dismay. We'd also agreed to allow the kids to continue alternating weekends between the two houses, as long as they didn't get behind on their schoolwork. This way they'd still get to spend time together, but it also gave them another reason to do well in their classes, so things were going fairly well.

As Labor Day weekend approached, I was busy helping Brad and Pam plan our last cookout of the summer. Not only were the Van Pattens going to attend, but Chad and his parents had agreed to come as well, and I think we were all looking forward to meeting his mom and dad.

Besides being a holiday cookout, it was also serving, at least in my mind, as my first anniversary party. It had been just over a year ago, near the end of August, that I moved here permanently and made my home with Brad, Pam, and the kids. Now, I believe they consider me an integral part of the family, as well as Reid's mentor and lover.

A lot happened during that first year, especially when I think back and realize I was almost scared about even touching Reid at first. I often wonder if anything would have occurred if Brad hadn't suggested that I masturbate Reid. Would I have ever gotten up the courage to do anything with him if Brad hadn't given me that piece of advice? I imagine I would have eventually, since Reid was doing everything in his power to entice me, but would we have gotten to this point where we were making love to each other? I also realize we probably could have done it sooner, but I was trying to honor Brad and Pam's wishes that I not move too fast. I believe everyone is happy with the way it's worked out though, especially Reid, and I look forward to spending many more years with him.

I sometimes forget that Reid's in high school now, because he still appears younger than all of his friends. When we were on the camping trip that fact became even more obvious to me than before. For example, not only did the other boys have the clear signs of a budding moustache and the start of a happy trail, but Jeremy also was showing the early stages of chest hair. The only one beside Reid that wasn't showing the advancing signs of maturing was Chad, but he was still well ahead of Reid in that department. Maybe Reid would always be one of those guys who looked much younger than his age, kind of like Dick Clark. Dick only started to show his age at the very end of his life.

I can't say that's a bad thing, though, especially if you consider my predilection for younger partners. I can't help but worry, though, that someday Reid's preferences might change, but he keeps insisting that he wants us to be together forever. I hope that's the way it always remains.

Anyway, getting back to the cookout, we held it on Sunday so we'd have Saturday to prepare everything. We'd also be able to rest up on Monday, since nearly everyone would have to go to work or school the next day. It would also give them a chance to make separate plans for the Monday holiday, so they could do something with their other friends as well.

The Van Pattens showed up just before 1:00, because we told everyone we'd have a late lunch at 1:30. We did that because we weren't sure if Chad's family went to church and we didn't want them declining our invitation because it conflicted with their services. They showed up a few minutes after 1:00, and Chad started the introductions.

"Mom, Dad, this is Reid's mom and dad, and this is his Uncle Quinn."

"We're glad to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Rogers," Brad stated as he reached out to shake hands with Chad's father. "I'm Brad."

"And I'm Pam."

"Please call me Al."

And I'm Debbie. Thank you for inviting us today."

"You're welcome," Pam said, "and we're glad you could join us."

"I'm glad to meet you too," I chimed in as I shook Al's hand. "And Chad's already indirectly told you my name is Quinn."

"Yes, Chad talks about you a lot, and thank you for taking him on the camping trip with you and his other friends," Al replied. "From what I've heard, they all had a great time."

"And I did too."

"And thank you for taking him on the weekly trips with you too. He seems to enjoy those as well."

"I'm glad, and I'll introduce you both to Amanda, because she goes with us on those trips too."

"Brad and Pam, we'd also like to thank you for letting Chad stay here so often. It seems that he and Reid have become really good friends," Debbie added.

"We enjoy his company and he's never a problem," Pam replied. "And thank you for letting Reid spend time with you too."

"We enjoy his visits as well," Debbie confirmed. "He's very polite and a pleasure to have around. He and Chad get along really well, so we're happy to let them spend time together."

The boys were listening to all of this, and although they were grinning slightly, they were also acting embarrassed that their parents were carrying on in this manner.

Brad and Pam then took Debbie and Al so they could introduce them to everyone else. As soon as they left, Chad and Reid came up to me.

"I'm glad they all got to meet each other, but why do they have to talk about us?" Chad asked. "Couldn't they just say hello and leave it at that?"

"Well, you boys are the reason we're all together today," I answered. "Therefore, it might have seemed rude if they didn't say something to that effect."

"I hope they don't talk about us all day," Reid added. "I don't want Mom and Dad to slip and tell them that me and Chad sleep with you. Chad hasn't told his parents anything like that."

"I doubt your mom and dad will say anything about the sleeping arrangements, since they don't want to create any problems either," I confirmed. "Chad, do your parents have any idea that you're attracted to boys?"

"I don't think so, cuz I've gone out with girls before, but I've just never had a girlfriend."

"Have you decided whether you're gay or bi?"

"If I'm being honest, I'm probably gay. I just went out with the girls so I wouldn't get picked on. I kissed a couple of the girls, but it was more like a kiss I give my mom, not like I kiss you guys. I really like the things we do and don't think I could ever do anything like that with a girl."

"How would your parents react if they knew you were gay?"

"I'm not sure. I've never heard them say anything about gays or make jokes about them, but they don't have any gay friends that I know of."

"Maybe they just haven't met a gay person yet, at least not that they knew was gay. I mean they've met me now, but they have no idea that I'm gay."

"I guess they're pretty accepting of most people, cuz as far as I know they don't have any enemies. I just don't know how they'd react if they knew about me and Reid."

"Even if they are accepting of you guys, they might not be so accepting if they knew I was involved with you boys. I guess I should have asked these questions before I let you and Reid drag me into doing these things with you."

"Don't worry. We won't ever tell them about you. We both like you too much and appreciate what you've done for us. You're not forcing us to do anything we don't want to do, and you're teaching us stuff so we'll know what we're doin' when we get with someone else."

"I'm glad to hear you say that. Now, let's go have a good time with everyone else."

When we rejoined the others, Brad already had the grill going, so I decided to help Pam bring out the other things. Reid and Chad followed us and offered to lend a hand as we began carrying everything out to the picnic tables. During the previous week, Brad had purchased a second picnic table and had it delivered, because he knew we'd need more room for everyone. I was impressed that he'd thought ahead and done this, because it wasn't something the old Brad would have thought of.

I was also surprised when I noticed what he had on the grill. In addition to the hamburgers and hot dogs that the kids seem to prefer, he was also grilling steak, and the chicken breasts that Pam had marinated in barbeque sauce. Having those items was fairly normal, but this time Brad had cut the steaks and chicken breasts in half before putting them on the grill, so I decided to ask him why he'd done that.

"It's so people can try one of each, if they want. They can always have two of their favorites, but I knew the women wouldn't take both, because they wouldn't want to waste what they couldn't eat."

I was impressed that he'd thought this out too, but I also noticed he had a cooler filled with extra meat sitting next to the grill, so he could make certain everyone got whatever they wanted.

As before, Pam made a large potato salad and a large macaroni salad, but she'd also prepared a large green salad that she'd added oil and vinegar to. I was sure everyone would find a variety of things they liked, and there was enough to satisfy the entire group.

I had just gone inside to refill one of the other coolers with drinks when I realized Debbie had followed me into the house. "Would you please direct me to the bathroom," she stated when I turned to face her.

"Certainly," I agreed, before explaining how to get there.

"Before I go, I'd just like to ask you a question," she added, which caused me to become suspicious and concerned. "Do you think Reid and Chad are more than just friends?"

"Are you asking if they might be romantically attracted to each other?"

"Something like that."

"Not as far as I know, but would it bother you if they were?"

"No, but I'm curious about their relationship. Chad has been friends with other boys before, but they've never spent quite as much time together or stayed over so often at each other's house."

"I know they're good friends and feel close to each other, so does that bother you?"

"As I said, I'm just curious. Don't get me wrong, because Al and I would never make a big deal out of it if they were closer than just friends, but it's just that we've been wondering about Chad for quite some time now. He's never expressed more than a passing interest in girls, and we suspect that Simon, one of his other friends, might be gay." I'd suspected that as well, but I wasn't about to tell her. "I guess we're just trying to prepare ourselves so we won't overreact if it turns out to be the case with Chad."

"So I take it you wouldn't throw him out of the house or do anything drastic?"

"Never. He's our son and we'll always love him, but we just want to know. That way we can avoid doing anything that might hurt him emotionally or scar him psychologically."

"I think he's pretty well adjusted for a teenager, no matter his sexual orientation. However, I'm happy to hear you wouldn't do anything to harm him in any way, because that would probably hurt Reid too. By the way, why are you asking me these questions, instead of his parents."

"From the way both boys talk about you, I figured you'd know more about him and Reid than the rest of us. They both seem to like and trust you, so I just felt you might be able to give me the answers to my questions."

"I appreciate your concerns for both boys and I promise I'll do whatever I can to help your son. Reid and I have been close for years now, so when his parents suggested I come live with them, I jumped at the chance. You see, I'm a writer and can work from home, so I'm available to take care of the kids when Brad and Pam are at work. I've become very close to all three children, as well as their friends, so it didn't surprise me when Chad started hanging around me too. I'm sure Reid probably had something to do with it and was most likely encouraging Chad as well. If you ever think I'm overstepping any boundaries, please let me know and I'll back off."

"No, we're glad Chad has another adult to confide in, because you know that sometimes the parent-child relationship can become a bit strained during the teenage years. That hasn't happened yet, but if it does, it's nice to know he has someone else he trusts and can go to for help or advice."

"I'm pleased you feel that way, and I'm glad we had this chance to talk."

Debbie then went to use the toilet while I refilled the drink cooler. When I carried it outside, I was immediately attacked by some thirsty young people. "I wondered where that went to," Evan greeted me. "Me and Eric have been looking all over for it."

"And now you've found it. I just had to refill it, because there was hardly anything left."

"Ok. Thank you."

After that, I moved off to one side to do some thinking. I was encouraged by my chat with Debbie and felt that she and Al would never turn on their son. Now, I wondered if I should tell Chad about my discussion with his mother. Would he be upset that we'd talked about him behind his back? Would he be upset that his parents already suspected he might be gay? Or would he be relieved that they would accept him as he is? I'd have to give this some more thought, though, before I'm able to decide if I want to tell him about my conversation with his mother.

As I was contemplating this line of thought, the younger kids came over to speak with me. "We want to play Four Square," Ashley stated. "Will you help us get ready to do that?"

"I'll ask the others to move their cars out on the street so you can use the playing area. I'm just not sure if any of the adults will want to play."

"That's ok. With Reid and Chad there are six of us, and we think that's enough."

"Ok, let me ask the drivers to move their cars then." I walked over to where the rest of the adults were chatting. "Excuse me, but the kids would like to play Four Square, but the playing area is laid out on the driveway. If the drivers would please move their vehicles out along the street, then the kids will be able to play."

No one had a problem with doing this, so before long the kids were able to start their game. The adults stood around and watched for a while before going back to the picnic tables to continue chatting.

"I remember playing that when I was younger," Al stated. "I didn't realize kids still played it."

"Reid said he remembered playing it before," I replied, "either in elementary school or at camp, but I basically introduced the rest of them to the game. I set it up so we could play it at one of our other cookouts."

"No wonder the kids all seem to like you," Al added. "You're good with them and they all seem to look to you to guide them."

"Yes, my kids adore Quinn," Amanda chimed in. "As you know, since Chad has gone with us, Quinn and I have been taking the children on day trips throughout the summer, and I enjoy watching them interact with Quinn."

"And he took the older group camping too," Debbie added.

"I did that after the boys told me about Jeremy's dad and that he had ALS," I explained. "They also said he wouldn't be able to take Jeremy camping this year, so I just wanted to make sure that Jeremy didn't lose out. I also felt it would distract him from focusing on his father's illness for a few days."

"That was very understanding and courageous of you," Al joked. "I'm not sure I would have been willing to take five teenagers camping, at least not without another adult to give me a hand."

"They were absolutely no trouble at all. In fact, I enjoyed my time with them and got a chance to swim, canoe, and hike as well."

"You're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!" Al followed, quoting the final line from Kipling's famous poem.

"I'm impressed. As a writer I'm always pleased when I hear someone else quoting one of my illustrious predecessors."

"You're a writer?"

"Yes. I mentioned it to your wife earlier, I've written and published three books so far. I'm currently working on a fourth. And Brad has written a couple of screenplays too."

"One of them was based on Quinn's first book," Brad clarified.

"So is it going to be turned into a movie?" Debbie wondered.

"It's in the pipeline now, so we'll see what happens," Brad stated. He obviously didn't want to give away any more information, but I was surprised he'd even said that much.

"It's turning out that Chad has apparently made some rather impressive friends," Al added.

"No, just a couple of guys who got lucky and caught a few breaks," I replied.

"Oh, I believe a little talent must have been involved too," Al countered.

Brad and I thanked him for his kind words and we all spent a couple more hours together before the others got ready to leave.

"Thank you for inviting us again," Bob stated. "I think we'll plan on throwing a Christmas party for everyone this year, so you'll all be invited."

"That sounds very nice," Pam agreed.

"And maybe we can think of something we can do that you'd all enjoy as well," Al offered. "We'd also like to thank you for the great meal and wonderful company. It was a pleasure meeting all of you."

"We enjoyed it as well and thank you all for coming," Pam concurred.

I think Chad was hoping he could stay over, but his father told him they had other plans for the following day and he wanted Chad to be with them. I think Reid was glad it worked out that way, because he was hoping we could make love tonight, since there was no school tomorrow.

After we helped carry everything inside, put things away, and cleaned up the mess, we sat down to take a breather. The kids were busy telling us how much fun they'd had and thanked us for doing this for them, so it was well worth the expense, effort, and time we'd put into doing it.

Later, when Evan and Reid were ready to take their shower, I sent them ahead while I stayed to talk to their parents. "I think today went well."

"Yes, and I'm glad we finally got to meet Chad's parents," Brad confessed.

"They seemed like very nice people," Pam added. "I'm glad they're like that, since Chad spends so much time here and we let Reid go to their house too."

"Yes, it has worked out very nicely and I have a feeling we'll all be getting together again in the future," I agreed. "Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"No, I thought we'd just have a nice relaxing day at home with the family," Brad replied.

"Ok, I just wanted to make sure. I better get going or your sons might run out here naked to get me."

"Oh, I'd love to see that, since Ashley's already gone upstairs," Pam teased.

"I'm sure they'd be mortified," I responded before laughing and taking off for my apartment.

After I'd washed both boys and they'd washed me, I sent Evan upstairs so his mother could tuck him in. As soon as he left, Reid told me what he wanted.

"Since there's no school tomorrow, will you make love to me again tonight?"

I made it appear as if I had to think about this first, before I answered. "I suppose I might be able to force myself into doing that with you."

"Force yourself? You have to force yourself to make love to me?"

I couldn't put him through this any longer. "No, I was just teasing you. I'd be happy to do that with you."

"That's more like it, so let's get started."

As soon as he said that, Reid jumped on the bed and waited for me to join him. I didn't hesitate and laid down beside him, ready to get started. As I lowered my head and placed my lips over his, his mouth opened slightly and his tongue darted out to meet mine. He's extremely passionate and was more than eager to participate, so we spent the next few minutes kissing.

After we'd done that for a few minutes, I worked my way over to his ear and ran my tongue around the fleshy exterior, before I used my oral muscle to dart around the surface, and then I sucked on his earlobe. As soon as I repeated my efforts on the other ear, I lowered my head down to his neck and kissed and nibbled on that sensitive area next. Reid began to squirm about and sigh as I did this, which let me know he was enjoying the sensations it was causing.

When I felt I'd spent a sufficient amount of time doing those things, I tweaked both of his nipples with my fingers next, before lowering my face and paid attention to those tiny nubs with my mouth. I used my tongue to tease the protrusions briefly, before I began sucking on them next. I then started to lick and kiss my way down the center of his chest, and when I reached his navel, I let my tongue dart in, out, and around that tiny crevice before moving even lower.

When I reached his groin, I moved between his legs and started to lick his scrotum next. After doing that for a brief time, I licked my way up his erect shaft and sucked on it for a few moments, but I wasn't ready to get him off just yet. Instead, I lifted his legs and rimmed him instead, because I knew it was one of Reid's favorite methods of foreplay.

Reid immediately began to squirm, wiggle, ooh and aah as my tongue glided around and then darted in and out of his opening. After I'd done that for a few minutes, I lubed up his hole and my penis next, as I got ready to do what he wanted. Reid was looking down and smiling as he waited for it to happen, because he was eager for us to make love.

Gradually, I added enough pressure to penetrate the stubborn guardian to his secret chamber, but this had become easier over time. His body was gradually growing accustomed to my frequent entry, and Reid seemed to enjoy it even more every time we did this. Slowly, I slid inside him, until my penis was completely nestled in his bowels, and then I began to withdraw it before thrusting back in again, a process I repeated over and over.

As usual, Reid responded to what I was doing and attempted to mirror every move I made. He would slide toward me when I thrust into him, and then he would pull away as I withdrew. As I've said before, he's never a passive partner.

We continued this frantic pace for several minutes, as the friction of my penis sliding back and forth in his tight tunnel brought me closer and closer to release. Eventually, as I drew closer to the point of no return, I quickened my pace and slammed into his butt faster and harder. Without warning, Reid's body suddenly tensed up as thin ropes of semen spurted from his penis, as he had another hands-free orgasm. Since he'd had so many of these, I was beginning to wonder if there was a mental component to it as well, which made him more prone to having this type of release. Or did he merely have an extremely sensitive prostate?

His orgasm brought me over the brink too, so I thrust into him one more time and released my first volley of man seed. Then, I pumped into him a few more times, with each one eliciting an additional spurt of semen from my shaft. As soon as I was completely drained, I lowered my body and lay beside him, and as I did, my penis was pulled from its warm and comfortable home.

We laid there for a brief time, as I enjoyed the wonderful feelings that were radiating throughout my frame from the powerful release. And since Reid had enjoyed his release too and had a chance to luxuriate in the afterglow of his orgasm, we decided to go to the bathroom and clean up. As I was adjusting the temp on the water, Reid sat on the toilet and released my seed into the bowl, and then we washed off quickly before getting back into bed. He kissed me on the cheek before cuddling against me.

"I love you more and more every time we do this," he whispered. "Especially when I cum while you're making love to me."

"I love you too, sweetie, and I'm glad you enjoyed it too," I whispered in reply, and then we closed our eyes and prepared to sleep.

This was only the end of our first year together, and I could only imagine how much better it was going to get.

Epilogue
A Look Into the Future

Reid and I continued to grow closer over the next few years, although our lives became a lot more hectic during his four years of high school. During that time I finished a couple more books, while Brad turned more of my stories into screenplays. He then pitched them to the studio executives and they agreed to turn them into movies, so we're all doing extremely well financially.

For the most part, my relationship with Reid was proceeding very nicely as well, although there were a couple of glitches along the way. One of those happened when the studio began filming the movie in which one of the characters was based on Reid. The director cast a very handsome young man who was a few years younger than the real Reid at the time to play the fictional Reed role. The actor's age was appropriate to the age of the character in the story, but unbeknownst to us at the time, it turned out to be a point of contention where Reid was concerned.

Initially, I thought Reid would be flattered that the studio chose such a cute boy to play that role, but unfortunately it wasn't the way it worked out. Seeing I was on the set as a consultant during the filming and got to spend time with that actor, it seemed to strike a sensitive chord in Reid. I invited him to go with me one day when the filming was taking place on the weekend, and when he saw me talking to the boy it caused the green-eyed monster of jealously to rear its ugly head.

From that day forward, Reid became cold and aloof when we were together at home, and he would snap at me whenever I tried to ascertain what was bothering him. I had no idea about the source of his irritation until after the filming concluded and I was no longer on the set with the cast. That's when Reid finally admitted what had been troubling him.

"I'm sorry that I acted like that, but I thought you were starting to like the boy playing Reed better than you liked me. You were spending a lot of time talking to him when I went with you, and I figured you probably did more than just talk to him when I wasn't there."

"Reid, that's not what was happening. I was just explaining the motivation behind the character he was playing. I wanted him to get in your head, so to speak, since I wrote that character based on you. Did you really think I was trying to initiate a romantic or sexual relationship with him?"

"Yes, I did. I'm getting older and will be going to college soon, so I thought you were trying to find someone younger to replace me."

"What in the world would make you think that?"

"Well, my dad asked you to move here because he knew you liked young boys. He also figured you would probably like me, and he thought that would protect me. But I've heard that some guys who like boys leave them when they get older, because they're no longer attracted to them."

"Have I ever done anything to make you believe that I no longer love you or want to be with you?"

"It's just that when I went with you to the studio and saw how you were looking at him, it reminded me of how you used to look at me when you first moved here. I was afraid you were going to like him better than me and leave."

"Oh, baby, I'd never do that. Even though your father realized I was attracted to younger boys and it was the reason he invited me to move here, I've fallen in love with you while we've been together. I don't ever plan on leaving you, and I'm definitely not looking to find someone else."

"Then why were you looking at him like that?"

"Because he reminded me of you at that age and I was thinking about how we first got together, became intimate, and how much I truly love you."

"Really? You were thinking of me when you were looking at him?"

"Yes, he's cute, but you're still more beautiful to me and it's you that I love."

That seemed to end the problem, because he became very affectionate after our discussion. It appeared as if things were back to normal and all was forgiven, and forgotten.

Throughout high school, Reid concentrated on his classes, with his primary focus being on his English classes. He'd decided that he wanted to be a writer too, but it didn't mean it was the only class he was interested in. Coming in a close second were the science and history classes he was taking, because he saw how I wove elements of both into my stories. He decided that doing well in those subjects would help him better appreciate my stories, and possibly aid him in writing his own stories later. Needless to say, I was happy to encourage and tutor him in those areas whenever necessary.

His decision to become a writer also led to a minor dilemma, and it appeared to cause him more consternation than I was aware of at the time. I discovered later that he was torn between writing books like me, and writing screenplays like his dad. This internal struggle started to come to a head during his junior year of high school when he started sending applications to various colleges. His choice of a college would depend on the writing programs that were offered there, as well as what he intended to do with them afterward.

Complicating his decision was his priority to stay close to home, so we could spend as much time together as possible. I wasn't sure if he wanted to do this because he wasn't able to stand the thought of being away from me, or if he didn't trust that I'd be faithful. Either way, he decided to apply to both U.C.L.A. and U.S.C., and he received acceptance letters from both during his senior year. This meant it was now time for him to decide which type of writer he wanted to become, because the writing programs at each school had drastically different goals.

UCLA's writing program focused on fiction writing, while USC's program was geared toward the entertainment industry. He finally had to make up his mind about what he wanted to do and which of these institutions would best prepare him toward that end.

Eventually, Reid chose to become a screenwriter. His rationale was that it would allow him to turn any future books I wrote into screenplays, instead of his dad, and we'd be able to collaborate and work together. This didn't seem to be a problem for Brad either, because he had his own ideas that he wanted to explore and turn into screenplays. If Reid eventually took over the job of turning my books into screenplays, Brad would be able to concentrate on working on his own projects. He would also be available to assist Reid when necessary, so this was going to work out well for all of us.

Reid was now ready to attend the John Wells Division of Writing for Screen and Television at U.S.C., but this led us to our next situation. Reid had chosen to apply to colleges close to home so he could commute to his classes, but Brad, Pam, and I didn't think that would be a good idea and saw a couple of major flaws in his plan. First of all, we didn't feel Reid would be able to enjoy his college years as much or get the full benefit of the college experience if he wasn't living on campus. In addition to that, we were worried that he'd be wasting valuable study time stuck in L.A. traffic as he traveled back and forth, and these concerns became a major point of contention between us. In the end, the four of us finally reached a compromise.

After much debate and many heated discussions, Reid finally agreed to stay on campus and live in a dorm during the week. He would come home on Friday night so he could spend the weekend with me, and it would give us time to be close and I could take care of his sexual needs. I also insisted that he would still have to spend part of the time working on his studies, and he had no problem with that, as long as we still spent time with one another. He would return to campus on Sunday evening to avoid Monday morning traffic, and he would also be able to come home for all holidays.

There were also occasions when Reid didn't come home on Friday night, and instead I, or the three of us, would drive to the campus to attend various functions with Reid. One of those was Parent's Weekend, and that's when we had a chance to see how much college life had changed, or remained the same, since we'd attended. We also got a chance to meet his roommate and a few of his new friends at that time. Besides introducing his mom and dad, he introduced me as Uncle Quinn, and although the others thought it was a little strange that his uncle was there as well, they still accepted me.

We also attended musicals, plays, concerts, and sporting events with Reid, and occasionally Evan and Ashley would join us when we went to one of those events. At other times they'd stay with the Van Pattens and let us go alone, but it all worked out in the end. Whenever we did this, we would stay at a hotel and Reid would share a room with me so we could be intimate. If Evan and Ashley were with us, Ashley would stay with her parents, while Evan stayed with Reid and me. Since Evan was older and realized that Reid and I were lovers, he didn't interfere with our intimacy, but we always waited until he was asleep in the other bed before we did anything.

After Reid graduated, he basically moved in with me and gave up any pretense of having his own room upstairs. That became a guest room, which worked out well too. Reid and I also talked about moving out and getting our own place, but we liked being close to the rest of the family, and for the most part they didn't interfere with our love life. There were times when Evan would want to stay with us, and since he and Eric were still good friends, Eric would occasionally want to stay with us too. For the most part, however, they preferred spending their time alone in Evan's room.

Since he no longer had a room of his own, Reid finally admitted to some of his closest friends about our relationship. Most of them had figured it out well before he brought it up, but we never acknowledged our true relationship prior to this due to the legal ramifications. However, now that he was no longer a minor and I couldn't get into legal trouble for what we were doing, we were more open about our relationship.

I proposed to Reid and asked him to marry me thirteen months after he'd graduated from college. He was thrilled that I wanted to do this, and it finally eliminated any doubts he had that I might someday want to leave him.

It was a small, simple wedding, with only family and a few close friends in attendance, but it was very nice. However, I splurged on the honeymoon and took Reid to Paris. We were there for a week, and even though we spent a great deal of time in our hotel room, we got out to do some other things as well. In addition to several lovely and very romantic dinners, we toured the Louvre and on two separate occasions we visited the Eiffel Tower. The first was during the day so we would be able to appreciate the view, and then we went again at night to see what it looked like when it was all lit up. It was a truly wonderful time.

When the week came to an end, I had a surprise planned for Reid and tried to keep him from finding out about it until the last possible moment. When we got to the airport and boarded a flight to Egypt instead of the U.S., he realized something was up. We landed in Cairo and spent a couple of days there, including a visit to the Egyptian Museum. Although we saw many wonderful things along the way, the experience paled in comparison to our next stop, when we reached the Giza Plateau.

"Wow, it's so neat to finally be able to see the pyramids and the Sphinx up close," Reid gushed when we arrived there. "I mean, I saw what they looked like in the movie, and they did a great job of making you feel like you were actually there, but it's so much more impressive seeing it in person. You can't really appreciate how big they are until you're standing right next to them, so thanks for bringing me here."

"You're welcome, and I'm glad we came here too."

We've now been married several years and neither of us has ever regretted our decision. I will be forever grateful to Brad and Pam for giving Reid and me the chance to be together, and for allowing us to be intimate when he was younger. I will always cherish the memories of those early times with one another, as well as being part of this wonderful family.

I'm now looking forward to a long and happy life together, and Reid has also suggested that he'd like to start a family. Evan and Ashley have both graduated from college and landed jobs in the area, so they're both still living at home as well. Reid and I may eventually move out and get a place of our own, especially if we decide to raise a family and need the extra room, but we're in no hurry to do that just yet. We're all very happy living together and life is good.

The End
