Chapter 21
The Grand Tour

After we had breakfast, I decided to work with the boys and have them take turns driving across the yard and the field this time–rather than going up and down the slope. I had them start out on the driveway, in an area between the house and the pond, to get them ready for our next outing. Even though I'd filled in most of the rough spots in the yard with dirt that I'd dug out when diverting a portion of the stream, so it would run down to the pond, the yard wasn't flat and sloped sharply in places toward the pond. I felt the boys needed this type of experience if I was going to take them around my entire property, as I'd done with Dakota, so this was their next test.

What I did was to advise the boys that when they drove across the slope, they would have to lean their bodies toward the top of the hill to keep the four-wheelers from tipping over. I also told them that when they attempted to turn when riding across the slope, they'd have to slow down first, so they didn't tip over while making the turn. Now that they understood, I let them practice driving across the yard and into the field before making the turn to come back, and they were improving each time they did this.

I let the first two boys practice driving after breakfast, and then I let the other pair practice after lunch. When they weren't on the ATVs, I had them spend time working with the educational software, and then I let them use the rest of the time as they wished. Things were going well, and I felt they were now ready to go out on a ride around the property, and I told the boys we'd do that the following day.

After dinner, I did a couple of loads of laundry, so we'd have something clean to wear the following day, and I'd go into the family room and watch TV with the boys in between. When it was time to shower, Dakota reminded me that I owed him since I wasn't able to make love to him the previous evening, so I agreed to do it tonight.

After we showered together, we got into bed, and he immediately bent over to kiss me. Before long, we were making out like two high school lovers sitting in a parked car at some obscure location. I let him continue like that for a few minutes, and then I pulled away so I could do more than merely attack his mouth and duel with our tongues. Instead, I used the time to kiss all around his face, and then I worked my way over to his ears, and worked on each of those fleshy appendages for a brief time, before moving down to his neck.

I kissed, nibbled, and sucked on every centimeter of the flesh on his neck, from one side of his head to the other. He was moaning and cooing as I did this, thoroughly enjoying my ministrations, and then I kissed him again briefly before moving down to his chest. I worked on his right nipple first and ran my tongue all around the areola before teasing the erect nub with my tongue and nipping on it playfully with my teeth. I then leaned over to do the same thing to the other one, and when I had paid sufficient attention to each side, I worked my way down the center of his chest and moved closer to his midsection.

Once there, I attacked his navel with my tongue and let it dart in and out of that tiny depression, as well as swirling it around the shallow cavity. Dakota began to squirm and giggle as I was toying with his belly button, so I moved even lower. I bypassed his genitals completely, which caused him to whimper like a whining puppy, as I moved down to his feet. I attacked the sole of his right foot first and ran my tongue over the skin, once again causing him to giggle and squirm. Then, I sucked on each of his toes before moving over to do the same thing with his left foot.

When I'd repeated the process on each one, I used my hands to spread his legs apart, and then I crawled between them and moved up to his groin. Once there, I used my tongue to stimulate the thin layer of skin, comprising his scrotum and gently toyed with the watery nuggets contained within. After doing that for a brief time, I took each of his testicles into my mouth, one at a time, and gently rolled them around with my tongue before doing the same thing with both of them at the same time. When I tired of playing with those, I moved higher and ran my tongue over and around his erect shaft, and then I ran my tongue across the head when I reached the top. It was already leaking copious amounts of pre-ejaculate, so I took a little time to savor that first before I opened my mouth and swallowed his penis down to the root. Dakota began to moan loudly at that point.

As I started to bob up and down on his erection, I wasn't planning on bringing him off. This was merely the preliminary before the main event. After I'd worked on his penis like this for a couple of minutes, I lifted his legs and attacked the opening to his tunnel of love next. Dakota always enjoyed it when I did this to him, and his body was very receptive to my probing tongue. He sighed and moaned as I was doing this, and when I thought he was ready, I reached over on the nightstand and grabbed the lube. I quickly coated my penis and his butt, but then I got off the bed because I was going to do this the same way I'd fucked Laine.

Dakota was watching me to see what I was up to and didn't resist when I spun him sideways on the mattress and pulled his butt to the edge of the bed. As soon as he was in this position, I lined my penis up with his puckered ring and then pressed against it to gain entry. It opened up fairly easily and allowed me to glide inside him–inch by glorious inch–until I was fully seated, and my pubes were rubbing against his backside. After hesitating briefly, I began to thrust in and out of him, gradually building into a nice, steady rhythm.

As soon as I'd established this motion, Dakota began to match my efforts by pushing his butt toward me, as I drove deeper, and then he would pull back as I withdrew. It was a highly synchronized effort, and he was also using his anal muscles to work on my probing member at the same time. The boy certainly knew what he was doing. We continued like this for several minutes, and then his unique ability slowly brought me to the point of no return. Just before I reached that magic moment, his body stiffened, and the first jet of alabaster cream catapulted from his shaft and landed on his chest. At the same time, his anal muscles clamped down on my erection and caused me to erupt too, and I quickly filled his intestines with my manly seed.

Now that we'd resumed having sex without a condom, I was definitely enjoying it more, and Dakota admitted that he liked it better as well, possibly because he enjoyed a hands-free release at the same time. The only drawback was that Dakota's butt tended to leak afterward, as gravity and the normal activity of his intestines caused my deposit to ooze out of the opening. Therefore, after he recuperated from his powerful release and post-orgasmic haze, we would make out for a while before we ended the session. Then, he would clench his butt muscles together as he made his way to the bathroom, so he could sit on the toilet and dispel my semen. He would then wipe his butt with toilet paper, and then we'd hop in the shower to wash up quickly, and once we finished, we'd return to bed and cuddle together until we fell asleep.

***

After we woke up the next morning, I fixed breakfast first, and after we ate, I prepared our lunch to take with us. I put the sandwiches and a few other items, which included multiple drinks for each of us, into a cooler that I then secured to the back of my ATV with bungee cords. After we'd all gotten dressed, we made sure each of the gas tanks was full before we set off on our little adventure.

I let Jamie and Glen drive first this time, and that small honor brought smiles to each of their faces. We started out as we usually did and took the trail out to the one that ran between my property and the government land, and then we made a right and followed that trail next. When we came to the stream, I crossed it and then looked back to make sure both boys made it safely as well.

We then continued along that trail until we reached my property line, and then I made a right turn and headed along that boundary next. This was the start of the rugged terrain, and we continued to make our way down that slightly treacherous route for a while longer, and then I signaled the other drivers that I was ready to stop. Once we turned off the engines and hopped off the ATVs, we all gathered to chat.

"We've been riding for a little over two hours now, so we'll take a quick break and grab a drink before we change drivers and continue on." I then opened the cooler and got out a bottle of water for each of us. "So, what do you think so far?" I asked after we all had a chance to take a drink.

"This place is way bigger than I thought," Glen observed.

"Yeah, and even though I liked doin it, I was gettin' a little tired from drivin' for so long," Jamie added.

"And my butt was startin' to hurt from bouncing up and down on the seat, cuz I think Glen was hittin' every hole."

"I couldn't avoid them. There are way too many," Glen shot back.

"Yes, both of those things can happen, and it will be at least that long before we get back to the house again. I hope none of you gets so tired that you fall asleep and tumble off the four-wheelers."

"Nah, we won't," Jamie confirmed since he knew I was referring to his comment.

"Yeah, all that bouncing up and down should keep us awake," Dakota quipped.

"We'll take another break when we reach the road, and we'll eat lunch there. As soon as we finish eating, we'll start again and make our way back to the house. Any questions?"

"Yeah," Laine piped up. "We're just goin' around the edge of your land, and there's a lot more that we won't get to see. Will we be able to drive around some of that another time?"

"Yes, we can do that too, but it's mostly overgrown fields with some groves of trees and old tree lines that once divided the property into the small farms that used to be here. I bought a few of them, so I'd be able to keep other people from moving too close to me."

"Dang, you seem like you're really friendly, so why don't you want any neighbors?" Glen asked.

"I moved out here for the peace and quiet, so I didn't want any noisy neighbors."

"So do you own the land on the other side of the road too?" Laine followed.

"No, and the land on that side of the road isn't very good for anyone who wants to build a house on it. You might have noticed that the land on the other side of the road slopes down even farther, and the land at the bottom is pretty marshy. That's because the stream on my property runs under the road at one point and then continues to flow into the valley. The drainage ditch that runs beside the road is also diverted under the road and empties on the other side as well, and all of that water ends up in the valley. Because it's so wet, the area is only good as a wildlife preserve, and I don't have to worry about anyone moving there."

"Did you plan that out?" Dakota asked.

"Let's just say I did my homework before buying any of the properties. I had the government land on one side, and the marshy area on the other side of the road, and I bought up enough land to cover the other two areas to achieve my goal."

"Damn, it must have cost you a fortune to buy all of this land," Laine observed.

"It wasn't cheap, but that's what mortgages are for. You get to pay for it over time."

That wasn't exactly true, but it satisfied him and the others. Shortly after we finished our discussion, we changed drivers and started out again, and we kept going until we'd nearly reached the road. When we got there, we took another break so we could fill our bellies. The boys wolfed down the sandwiches I'd made, along with the potato chips, Cheetos, and pretzels that I'd packed, and they each polished off another drink. When we finished, we packed the trash into the cooler, and I strapped it back onto my four-wheeler, and I told the boys what was going to happen next.

"Since this is a country road, there isn't a great deal of traffic on it, so we're going to ride over it next. Remain in a single file and keep the same spacing, and don't panic if a car approaches and attempts to pass by. I also don't want you to get overly concerned when we drive past the driveway leading up to the house, either. We'll eventually turn onto the trail between my property and the government land, and that's the same trail we walked over previously. We'll follow it back until we reach the trail that leads back to the house, and that will complete our little journey around my property. Any questions?"

There were none, so we got back on the ATVs and took off again. The boys did exactly as I asked, so the two cars we encountered were able to pass by without incident. They also happened to be traveling in opposite directions, so I wasn't sure if the boys had even seen the car that approached from behind until it was beside them, but they handled the situation well. I'll make sure to commend them for it when we get back, and the other car was also easy for them to deal with since they could see it as it approached.

No one attempted to turn into the driveway when we passed by, and we kept going until we reached the point where the trail running between my property and the government land met the road. I turned onto it, with the boys following, and then we continued until we reached the trail that led back to the house.

When we finally reached the end of our journey, we pulled up in front of the garage, shut down the engines, and got off the four-wheelers. We then took off our helmets and goggles, and I looked at each of the boys' faces. They were filthy, and their clothes were covered in pollen and vegetation again. They'd been riding in the dust of the vehicle in front of them on the trail, while I'd been the lead dog, but we were all covered in weeds and other items since we'd all driven across the fields.

"You did a great job, especially when we were traveling on the road, but now I want you to take your clothes off and shake them off before you enter the house. I also think you boys need to shower after you go inside because except for the area around your eyes where the goggles were, your faces are pretty dirty."

"Yeah, we kinda figured that," Laine replied. "I think we all had to keep wiping our goggles off with our gloves or sleeves cuz it was getting' hard to see."

"Yeah, and I learned quick that I could only do it with my left arm," Glen added, "cuz if I used the right one I started to fall behind, cuz that's the hand that works the gas."

"Yes, I learned that too," Dakota added.

"I asked Laine to do that for me, cuz I didn't want to let go of the handlebars," Jamie offered.

"That was actually pretty smart of you and I'm glad Laine was willing to help out," I responded.

"Yeah, I just had to take one arm off his chest to do it, but I only wiped one side at a time. I didn't want to cause him to have an accident cuz he couldn't see."

"That was very smart of you as well. I'm glad to see you boys have good heads on your shoulders because it gives me more confidence about letting you drive the ATVs."

"And we've got pretty good heads in our pants too," Glen stated, causing the other boys to laugh.

"Yes, you certainly do," I agreed.

"Can we just wash our faces when we go inside?" Jamie asked next.

"I'm sure you were sweating during the ride too, because it's hot out and I know I was certainly perspiring, and since I don't want to smell you later, I'd suggest you take your shower now, instead of later."

"Yeah, ok. We can do that."

"Then I'm showerin' with Dad," Dakota announced.

"I want to shower with Dad too," Jamie followed.

"I suppose you both can," I replied.

"Then let's get goin'," Dakota urged.

"Make sure you strip off before you go inside and then leave your clothes in the laundry room, because I don't need you tracking dirt and other debris all through the house," I announced.

They didn't have a problem doing that, but I was surprised when they took off their underwear as well. I was only referring to their outer garments, but I suppose they did it because they'd been sweating and were going to put on clean underwear after they showered. I didn't mind, though, because it was kind of fun walking up the stairs behind them and watching their cute butts wiggle as they climbed the staircase.

***

Jamie and Dakota went directly to my bathroom, while Glen and Laine used one of the others. We all rinsed off quickly, and then the boys asked me a question. I'd heard them whispering while I was adjusting the water, so I knew they were hatching some sort of plan, but I wasn't able to overhear what they were saying.

"Dad, will you suck us off before we finish washin' up?" Dakota asked.

"I suppose this was your idea too?" I said while looking at Jamie, and he nodded and grinned in response. "Ok, I guess I can do that, so who's first?"

"You can do Jamie first," Dakota suggested. "Otherwise, he might cum from just watchin' you suck my dick."

"Nuht uh, I wouldn't do that, but I'll still go first," Jamie countered.

I then sucked Jamie off while Dakota stood behind him and played with his nipples, and the dual stimulation apparently caused Jamie to blow his load quicker than usual. After giving him a little time to recover, Jamie and Dakota switched places.

"Kota's cock was stabbin' me in the butt, and I thought he was trying to fuck me," Jamie stated and then giggled.

"You're such a little liar," Dakota responded. "I was startin' to get hard watchin' Dad suck your dick, but I never got totally hard."

However, by this time, he was fully erect, and I started working on him while he was talking. Jamie did the same thing that Dakota had done and played with Dakota's nipples while I was sucking him off. As soon as Dakota busted a nut, Jamie offered to do the same thing to me, which was a total surprise since I knew it wasn't something he usually liked to do, so I told him it wasn't necessary.

"I need to wait until later before I cum because I'm sure someone else will want to do something later."

"Yeah, he's gonna make love to me later," Dakota announced.

Luckily, Jamie wasn't disappointed. "Oh, ok," was all he said.

As soon as we finished up, I went downstairs and started a load of laundry with the clothes we'd worn on our recent tour, and then I went to see what I was going to fix for dinner. I still had a little time before the boys would start complaining about being hungry, so I decided to fix a barbeque meatloaf since we hadn't had that yet. I also fixed baked potatoes, candied carrots, and a salad, and when it was ready, I called the boys to the table.

"So, what have you boys been up to after you took your showers?" I asked while they were chowing down.

"I was working on the educational software," Jamie answered.

"I was reading," Laine stated next. "I'm really enjoying The Phantom Tollbooth."

"And I was reading The Bridge to Terabithia," Glen followed. "It's a little different than the movie, cuz I saw that too."

"Yes, it is, so which do you like better?"

"The book, cuz it tells some stuff that was left outta the movie."

"Yes, that it does, and that's usually the case when you read the book and compare it to the movie," I agreed.

"I was workin' on the 'puter like Jamie, cuz I hadn't done that yet today," Dakota confirmed.

"I'm glad to see that you boys are keeping the promises you made to me."

"It's cuz we don't want you to be mad at us," Jamie offered next.

"I wouldn't be mad, but I would be disappointed if you broke your promise."

"We don't want you to be disappointed either," Laine added. "You do a lot of nice stuff for us, so we're willin' to do this for you."

"You're not doing it just for me. You're doing it for yourself as well because it should help you when you return to school."

"Yeah, we know," they concurred.

When we finished, the boys agreed that they wanted to watch a movie, seeing they'd been outside all day, and then they were working on their various assignments.

"That's fine with me," I concurred.

"Just not a scary movie," Jamie added.

"Yeah, Jamie had a nightmare the last time," Dakota explained.

"Kota, why do you keep bringin' that up?" Jamie groaned.

"Well, you did," Dakota responded.

"Yeah, but you don't have to keep remindin' them."

"It's ok, Jamie, cuz I had a bad dream that night too," Glen confessed.

His admission seemed to make Jamie feel a little better and lessened his anger with Dakota. I was glad to see that, so we went to the family room to see what movies were currently playing on the various channels. We ended up watching the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Once again, Dakota and Glen sat on either side of me while Jamie sat on my lap, and Laine sat on the floor between my legs. I'm not sure why this was so important to Laine, but I was glad he wasn't being left out.

***

The movie was exciting without being overly scary, and when it ended, I suggested it was time to turn in, and we all went up to our bedrooms. Dakota followed me, and I could tell he was already getting worked up about having me make love to him again. He was naked almost as soon as I closed the door to the bedroom and once more prevented me from enjoying doing it for him. He was also semi-erect, so I knew he was really looking forward to this.

After I'd also undressed, I tossed back the covers, and we both crawled onto the sheets and lay next to one another. I started kissing him, and we did that for a couple of minutes as our hands began traveling around each other's body like we were reading Braille, and then I nibbled on his neck briefly, before working my way down his chest. I not only nipped and sucked on each of his nipples, but I also paid attention to every inch of flesh between there and his navel. After doing that, I got up and moved between his legs, ready for round two.

I started off toying with his scrotum before moving on to his penis, and then I began sucking on it the same way I'd done in the shower earlier, but this time, I didn't do it long enough for him to cum. Before that happened, I lifted his legs and rimmed him next, and after doing that for a few minutes, I lubed up his backside and my penis before the guardian granted me entrance.

It almost sounded as if Dakota was purring as I slipped into him, and then he carried on like a man possessed when I started sliding back and forth. He thrust back at me as I slid into him, and then he would tighten his anal muscles as I withdrew. It had a similar effect as that of a milking machine attached to a cow's udder since he was slowly milking me as he did this. I held out for as long as I could, but when Dakota's intestines spasmed when he enjoyed another hands-free orgasm, it brought me over the edge, and I filled him with my creamy load.

I kissed his face as we both enjoyed our recent orgasms, and my penis eventually deflated and withdrew from his rectum. He groaned when that happened since he was disappointed that we were no longer connected. I eventually got off him so he could go to the bathroom to evacuate my seed from his bowels before it leaked out on the sheets, and then we showered together to clean his semen off our bodies. After we'd dried off, we returned to bed and cuddled together as we prepared to sleep.

We hadn't been in bed for very long before I heard a light knock on the bedroom door, so I got up to see who was there. After I unlocked and opened it, I discovered Jamie standing on the other side.

"Don't tell me you had another bad dream?"

"No, I just can't get to sleep, and I know I'll sleep better with you, so can I? I even waited until I didn't hear you guys havin' sex or takin' a shower."

"Were we that loud?"

"No, but I remembered Kota said you were gonna do that, so I was listening to see if you were done."

"Well, thank you for doing that much and I suppose you can spend the night with us. You don't mind, do you Dakota?"

"Nah, it's fine. We can both cuddle with you like the last time."

"Ok, then come in and join us," I told Jamie.

He followed me to the bed, and after Dakota moved over to give us room, I got in the middle, and Jamie crawled in behind me. After arranging the pillows, I pulled the sheet over us, and both boys placed their heads on my chest as I wrapped an arm around each one. I had my two loving human teddy bears, and together we drifted off into a very restful slumber.

Chapter 22
An Adventure and a Problem

At breakfast the following morning, Glen asked me a question, "Are you still gonna take us out for a walk on the government land today?"

"Yes, I still plan on doing that, and we'll be riding the four-wheelers as well."

"We will?" Dakota asked, puzzled.

"Yes, we'll be riding the four-wheelers to the spot where we'll enter the government land."

"So we're not goin' onto the government land where I went with Glen and Laine the other day?"

"No, I'm taking you to another location to do this."

"So, where are we goin' then?" Laine followed.

"Be patient, grasshopper, and you'll see. I'll explain my reason for doing it this way when we get there."

The boys tried to press me for more information, but I didn't want to spend a lot of time discussing it here when it would be easier to do it when we reached the location I'd selected. They finally gave up their attempt to get me to spill the beans, so we finished eating–before we got dressed to ride the four-wheelers.

When the boys were ready, I took the ATVs out of the garage, and the boys put on their goggles, helmets, and gloves, and then we filled the gas tanks before taking off. I led them down the trail, heading toward the government land, and when we reached the trail that ran between it and my property, we took a right. I then led them down that trail until we reached the stream, and without crossing it, I pulled over, shut off my ATV, and hopped off the seat. The boys quickly followed suit.

"Just put your goggles and gloves into your helmets and then leave them with your four-wheeler," I announced.

"Aren't you afraid somebody will steal them while we're on our walk?" Jamie asked.

"No, because I doubt anyone else is around. My property is posted, so no one is allowed to be on it without my permission, and if anyone is on the government land, then we should see or hear them while we're on our walk."

"Ok, but I hope we don't come out and find the four-wheelers gone, cuz then we'll have to walk back to the house and that's a long way," Glen groaned.

"As I said, that's not going to happen."

"So, why are we doing this here?" Laine followed.

"It's because the stream runs through the government land, so if we get separated and any of you get confused and lost, you'll just have to locate the stream and follow it out. If you haven't noticed, the stream flows toward the rising sun, so you will be able to use that or the current to tell which direction to go when following it. If it's before noon, walk in the direction of the sun, and if it's after noon, then walk in the opposite direction of the sun."

"But will we be able to see the sun in there?" Jamie wondered.

"Maybe not completely, but you'll be able to see enough of it to help guide you in the right direction."

"Oh, ok."

"Just be as quiet as you can while we're doing this, and then maybe you'll get to see some animals along the way."

"Are there any bears in there?" Jamie followed.

"I doubt there will be, but if there are, I'll make sure you have time to get away."

"How will you do that?" Dakota wanted to know.

"I'll do something to distract it, and you must know the old saying, don't you?"

"What old saying?" Glen asked.

"You don't have to run fast to get away from a bear, just faster than the slowest person that you're with, and that will be me."

I thought this would cause them to laugh, but instead, their mouths fell open. "You mean you'd sacrifice yourself to save us?" Laine gasped.

"I think I've told you before that I'll do whatever it takes to keep you boys safe."

"Then we'd better not run into any bears, cuz none of us want to lose you," he replied, and the other boys nodded in agreement.

"I appreciate that, but if it came to a choice, it would be an easy one for me to make, but enough of this gloomy talk. Are you ready to go in there or not?"

"Yeah, we are," they agreed.

I had explored this area before, to see where the stream originated, and I ended up walking for hours, most of it uphill. What I discovered is that a bunch of smaller streams feed into the one that eventually meanders through my property, before crossing under the road. It then continues down the slope and into the valley below, and that's what helped to create the marshy area. I wasn't planning on taking the boys as far as I'd gone previously, but I knew there was some lovely scenery in this area that I thought they'd enjoy. I also felt we might be able to spot some of the animals as they came down to the stream to drink.

I led them to a spot that overlooked an animal trail that led to the stream and then crossed over it, and the boys and I sat still as we waited to see if any animals wandered through. We'd been there for about twenty minutes when a buck, three does, and a couple of fawns walked down the trail heading toward the stream.

"Do you think the doe and fawn that we saw the other day when we were in the woods might be part of this group?" Dakota whispered to me.

"It's possible."

"Do you think those are the deer that were drinking outta the pond?" Jamie followed.

"That's also possible, but there were a couple more deer at the pond than are in this herd, and I don't remember seeing the buck. He's got a large set of antlers, and I think I would have remembered seeing those if he had been there."

The deer had stopped to take a drink from the stream, and the buck suddenly looked in our direction. I quickly put a finger up to my lips to signal the boys to be quiet, because I felt the buck might have heard us whispering. He might have also smelled us because the wind seemed to be swirling around in the trees. The buck eventually lowered its head and started drinking again, and a few minutes later, he led the others along the trail on the other side of the stream as they went deeper into the woods.

"That was awesome," Glen said, once they'd disappeared. "It was like watching a scene from the movie Bambi."

"And the two fawns were Bambi and Faline," Dakota added.

"And the one with the antlers was Bambi's dad, the Prince of the Forest," Jamie chimed in.

"But I didn't see Thumper with them," Glen joked.

"Or Flower, but I hope he's not around, cuz I don't want to get sprayed," Laine retorted while making a face.

"Yeah, that would be awful," Jamie agreed.

"And then you'd have to sleep outside or in the garage, because I wouldn't want that smell in my house," I quipped.

"Man, how would you ever get rid of the smell?" Laine wondered.

"I've heard taking a bath in tomato juice works," Glen replied.

"That would be a lot of tomato juice," Laine pointed out.

"Or you could use a combination of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dishwashing soap," I added, "but it's easier to avoid getting sprayed in the first place."

"Yeah, you're probably right," Dakota concurred.

"Getting back to our previous discussion, you boys are certainly up on the facts about the movie," I teased. "I didn't realize you would have even seen it."

"Yeah, we have," Glen confirmed. "Chuck and Isaac had an old TV, a VCR, and a bunch of old tapes, and that was one of them. We watched that movie quite a few times when we were there."

"Damn, I wouldn't have expected you boys to know what a VCR was either, let alone have used one," I said, amazed.

"Isaac explained it to us," Glen responded.

"But if Chuck and Isaac lived in an abandoned building, where did they get the electricity from so you could watch it?"

"They stole a bunch of extension cords and connected them together before hooking it up to an outdoor outlet at another building," Laine explained.

"I see, but I didn't think you boys all stayed there at the same time."

"We didn't," Dakota replied, "but sometimes we all hung out there during the day. We did it before we went out to earn money or when the weather was bad, but that was before they started acting like assholes."

"I guess that would explain it," I agreed.

"I hope that buck doesn't get shot like Bambi's dad did," Glen added.

"It's a possibility because people can hunt on government land during deer season, so none of those deer will be safe," I countered.

"How can people shoot something so cute and amazing?" Jamie asked.

"At one time, people hunted them so they would have something to eat, and a few still do that, but many just do it for sport."

"Man, that's cruel," Dakota spat back.

"Not really. By keeping the deer population under control, it actually helps the other deer to survive," I explained.

"How does it do that?" Jamie challenged.

"Because during the winter, there isn't as much food for them to eat, so with fewer deer, it means there is more for the others to eat, and then fewer deer starve to death."

"Yeah, I guess starving to death would be worse than getting' shot," Laine confessed.

"Yes, a well-placed shot would kill the deer quickly, while starving to death means it would probably suffer for a long time–before finally dying," I confirmed.

"Ok, so maybe it isn't so cruel after all," Dakota relented.

Seeing the boys were starting to get restless sitting in one area for such a long time, we got up and started walking again. The boys' attention was on the ground and the area in front of them, while I occasionally glanced up at the trees. That's when I spotted an object and pointed it out to them.

"If you boys look up, you'll see someone left his hunting stand up in this tree," I pointed out.

"Why would he leave it here?" Glen asked.

"The person, or maybe he's part of a small group of people, must hunt in this area regularly."

"But why would they be up in a tree when the deer are on the ground?" Jamie followed.

"It's a better vantage point, and deer don't look up in trees for danger, so the hunter doesn't get noticed quite as easily."

"Look, there's a ladder connected to it," Laine pointed out.

"Yes, it's so they can climb up to it easily."

"Can we go up and check it out?" Dakota asked.

"It's not ours and I hate messing with other people's property. Not only that, but there's not a lot of room up there, so it's easy to fall off, and I don't want any of you to get injured."

"I'll be careful, but I want to see what it's like," Dakota pressed.

"Then be very careful because if you fall, and get hurt, it won't be easy to get you medical attention. We'd either have to carry you back to the four-wheelers or send someone for help, and either way would take quite a bit of time."

"I'll be really careful then, but I want to try this."

I allowed him to go up first, and then Laine and Glen did it as well, but Jamie wasn't as adventurous and preferred to keep his feet on the ground. He stayed by my side the entire time as we watched what the others were doing.

"It was neat up there, but I couldn't see very much through all the leaves," Dakota told me.

"Yes, deer hunting season is in the fall, so many of the leaves are on the ground by then, so it's much easier to see the surrounding area."

"Ahhh, I was wonderin' how they could hunt from there when they couldn't see very much."

After the boys had sated their curiosity, we did some more exploring before I decided it was time to start heading back. It was getting close to noon, and I knew the boys would soon be complaining that they were hungry, and I wanted to get them back to the house before that happened. When we reached the trail where we left the four-wheelers earlier, Jamie made an observation.

"You were right; they're still here."

"Yes, just as I expected. People aren't allowed on my land without my permission, and that's why you see posts in the ground every so often with a posted sign attached. Sometimes I'd hang them on trees too if there was one around because it's the only way I could keep others off my property legally."

"Did you put all of them up?"

"Not all of them, but I did the ones closest to the house because the tractor has a posthole digger attachment. I hired a company to do the rest after I showed them what I wanted. When they finished, I rode my four-wheeler around to make sure they'd done it exactly the way I wanted. I go around every spring and fall to make sure the signs are still up, and no one has ripped them down, or they didn't come off in bad weather."

"Can we go with you next time you do that?" Jamie followed.

"Sure, but I won't be doing it again until late August or early September, and then again in either April or May."

"That's ok, cuz if you adopt us we'll still be here," he pointed out with a grin.

"Yes, I suppose you will."

***

The boys put on their goggles, helmets, and gloves again, and we turned the ATVs around so we could head back to the house. As soon as we got there, the boys and I washed up quickly, and then I fixed cheeseburgers, tater tots, and peas for lunch since I'd taken the hamburger meat out of the freezer before we left.

Once we were all full, the boys took off to do different things, and I tried to catch up on some of my chores. I was in the middle of doing another load of laundry when my phone rang. I answered it quickly after I saw who was calling.

"Eric, it's Murray Dann, and I'm afraid I have some bad news. We've hit a slight snag with the adoptions."

I was shocked by this news, and it left me momentarily speechless. As soon as I'd regained my senses, I asked a question. "Why? What happened? Does it have to do with the advocate's report?"

"No, as far as I know, the judge hasn't received it yet, but I was served with a summons requesting a sample of DNA from one of the boys?"

"Which boy, and what in the hell would anyone need his DNA for?"

"It's concerning James Palmer. It seems that a man has come forward, claiming he may be James' biological father."

"What? Then why the hell didn't he show up and make this claim sooner? Why did he wait until after all these years, because Jamie said he's never had any contact with his dad before?"

"I might be able to explain that. Once I received the summons, I contacted the attorney who was responsible for having me served. He told me that his client had once dated Melissa Palmer, and he calculated that it was around the same time as James would have been conceived."

"So why did he wait until now to do something about it?"

"He said the relationship ended poorly, and Melissa never mentioned that she was pregnant, and he only discovered she had a son when he read about her death in the newspaper. It was an article about her being killed in the car crash, and it mentioned she had a son and gave his age."

"And he's just getting around to doing this now?"

"No, the day after he read the newspaper article, he went to the police station and Department of Social Services to see if they had any information about the boy. Both agencies told him that no one knew the boy's current whereabouts and stated that he had apparently disappeared. The guy kept in contact with them for the next few weeks, but neither agency ever learned any more about James' situation. Since neither group ever came up with any information about the boy, he finally gave up. I was told this was mostly because the police had concluded that the boy might even be dead."

"Then why didn't he find out when Paul went to social services and notified them that I'd found Jamie and sought to get custody of him?"

"Even though Social Services gave you custody, it appears that the boy's name was never entered into their system. It may have been a clerical error, or it may have been intentional. Seeing you aren't receiving any payments from them for his care and you were willing to take care of him without reimbursement, they may have merely decided that his name didn't need to be included in their database. After all, he was an orphan and a runaway, so after they allowed you to assume custody, they might have just written him off."

"So then what brought him to this guy's attention now?"

"It was the adoption. It seems as if all of the boys' names were entered into the court database, and somehow it came to this guy's attention. His lawyer may have placed an alert on the boy's name, or merely discovered it during a routine search, or the guy might have discovered it another way. No matter how it came to his attention, he's demanding a DNA sample so it can be determined if James is his son."

"Damn, it will destroy Jamie if I tell him about this or if he ends up having to leave."

"We don't have a choice other than to provide the sample."

"So, what do they need?"

"You can take him to a lab or the police station, and they can swab the inside of the boy's cheek. Once they have the sample, they'll send it to the other attorney so he can have it analyzed. He'll then take the results and have it compared to the sample from James' mother and this man to determine the issue of paternity."

"Wait! They have a sample of his mother's DNA?"

"Yes, I understand they had one taken before she was buried, in case they needed it to identify James. If you remember, I mentioned that the police thought he might be dead."

"Damn, I never expected a problem this late in the process. I thought we dotted all of the i's and crossed each of the t's."

"Obviously not, and I'm not sure we could have anticipated this. We had no way of knowing that the biological father would be searching for him now, especially since he wasn't in the picture previously."

"If he's the father, then why wouldn't Jamie's mother have told him that he had a son or tried to get child support from him?"

"I was told it was a very unpleasant breakup, so that may have had something to do with it. The woman was never married and gave her son her maiden surname, so apparently, she didn't want the father to be part of the boy's life."

"If it was an unpleasant breakup, could he possibly have done something that we could use against him and have him deemed an unfit parent?"

"The only information about the break up is merely what he's said, and there are no records of any police reports or court filings. I know this because I've already checked those sources."

"So why is this man interested in finding out and gaining custody of Jamie now, since he's already twelve?"

"I was told that the man got married about nine years ago and his wife has been unable to conceive. He feels that if James is his son, then they would like to raise him and become a family."

"Well, I guess this means I'll have to break the news to Jamie, and then I'll call Paul to see if he can do the testing if I bring Jamie to the station."

"I'll notify Paul about what is being requested and where to send the sample so he'll be prepared for your call."

"Ok, and thank you."

"I'm sorry I had to deliver this news, but I didn't have a choice. I'm an officer of the court and legally obligated to respond to the summons. Since they know, I'm representing you and the boys in the adoption process, I had no wiggle room where this was concerned."

"I know, and I'm not blaming you, but it's devastating at this late date. I expected something like this might happen with Dakota's mother, or possibly even Glen's mother, but I thought we were free and clear when it came to Jamie."

"Yes, it is unfortunate that this popped up now."

"I know, and now I just have to figure out how I'm going to tell Jamie without breaking his heart."

"Just remember, the claim this man is making is only about possibly being the father. It is far from being a fact yet, so this may just be a slight glitch, and we'll discover he isn't the father."

"That would be great, but listening to the comment you just made caused me to think I was on an episode of the Maury Povich or Jerry Springer shows."

"Yes, it does give you that feeling," he agreed. "All I can do is to wish both of you the best of luck."

"Thank you, and I hope I can convince Jamie of this as well."

"Good luck with that too."

"And thank you for your help."

As soon as I ended the call, I tried to think of a good way to break the news to Jamie.

Chapter 23
Dealing with Potential Disasters

I decided to wait until after dinner to tell Jamie because then I'd be able to spend time with him if he was taking this badly. I also decided to ask him what he'd like for dinner, to put him in a good mood before I broke the news. I waited until I saw him alone before I did this.

"Since you're the only one around at the moment, what would you suggest we have for dinner?"

"Hmmm, how 'bout pizza?"

"Ok, because I happen to have pizzas in the freezer, so would you prefer Chicago or New York style pizza?"

"What's the difference?"

"Chicago pizza is rectangular and deep dish, which means it has a thicker crust, and New York pizza is round and has a thinner crust."

"New York pizza then."

I took both a pepperoni and a sausage pizza out of the freezer and placed each one on a pizza pan before placing them in the oven. I also whipped up a large pan of roasted garlic lemon broccoli and a salad with oil and vinegar dressing to go with it, to make sure the boys got plenty of vegetables. That reminded me, I'll have to start buying vitamins for the boys–to ensure that they grow up to be big and healthy. When the meal was ready, I called the boys out to the table.

***

They were all joking around and talking about our excursion onto the government land as they stuffed their mouths with food. When they were helping me clean up afterward, Dakota asked a question.

"What do you wanna do now, Dad?"

"I want to meet with you boys in the family room before we decide on what else we're going to do because there's something I need to tell you first."

"About what?" Glen followed.

"I'll explain that when we're all in the family room."

The boys followed me there, and then Jamie and Dakota sat on the sofa beside me, while Laine and Glen sat in the chairs and looked in my direction. Even though this only concerned Jamie, I thought the others should also know about what was going on, and then maybe they could help to console Jamie if he took the news badly. Once they were all comfortable and looking in my direction, I swallowed to remove the lump in my throat before I began to speak.

"The lawyer called earlier and explained there's a problem with the adoptions," I began.

"Does it have somethin' to do with that advocate lady?" Dakota asked.

"No, it doesn't have anything to do with her."

"Then what is it?" Glen asked. "Did my mom or Kota's mom change their minds?"

"No, it doesn't have anything to do with them either."

"Then what the heck is it?" Dakota demanded.

"It seems that a man has shown up and is claiming that he might be Jamie's father. He's requested a DNA sample to determine if he is Jamie's dad."

It appeared that each of the boys was stunned by this news, but none more so than Jamie, but eventually, he responded.

"Does this mean I have to get more needles?" was his initial reaction.

Out of all of the possible responses he could have made to my comment, that wasn't exactly the one I'd been anticipating. "No, they merely have to swab the inside of your cheek to get the sample, and then they'll send it off to be tested."

"So how did this guy find out you was adoptin' me?"

"He read about your mother dying in the accident, and while he was reading the article, he also discovered she had a son. The guy used to date your mom, and since the article stated how old you were, he figured you had been born shortly after they'd been together and concluded he might be your father."

"Then why didn't he come to see me before?"

"It was because your mom never told him she was pregnant or that she had a son. He didn't find out about you until he read the newspaper article about her death, and that's when he started looking for you."

"So how did he find out where I was?"

"I guess each of your names was entered into the court database when I petitioned to adopt you, and that's how he discovered where you were. It might still end up that he's not your father, but he wants to do a DNA comparison to see if he is."

"I don't care if he is. I want you to be my dad, not him."

"That may not be an option if the test proves that you're his biological son."

"Even if I don't want to be his son?"

"Yes, biological parents have priority, unless they are deemed to be unfit."

"Yeah, like my mom," Glen chimed in.

"Yes, like that," I confirmed.

"Then one of the other boys can take the test for me, so it will look like he's not my dad," Jamie suggested.

"Yeah, I'll do it for him," Dakota offered.

"I'm afraid that won't work either."

"Why not?" Jamie screamed.

"Because they have a sample of your mother's DNA as well, so they'd know the DNA sample wasn't from you."

"How come they've got her DNA?"

"They took a sample before she was buried because they thought it might be needed to identify you later. They feared you might be dead too since they couldn't find you anywhere."

"Damn, why can't they just think I'm dead then and leave us alone?"

"They already know you're alive and living with me, so that's not an option either."

He looked up at me, and slowly his face began to scrunch up into a distorted image of his usually smiling self as he began to cry.

"I don't want to be his son. I want you to adopt me and be my dad," he gasped out between sobs.

Since he was taking this so badly, I pulled him onto my lap and hugged him against my chest before I responded. "That may still happen, but you'll need to take the test first so it can be determined one way or the other."

"But what if it shows he's my dad?"

"Then he'll want you to come live with him. He's been married for about nine years now, but he and his wife don't have any children. If it turns out that you're his son, then he'd like to raise you and have you become part of his family."

"Doesn't it matter what I want?"

"Unfortunately, no. Since you're a minor, it becomes your parent's choice, not yours."

"But I want you to be my dad."

"I know, and I want you to be my son, but you still have to take the test, and then we'll wait to see how it turns out."

"Jamie, he only thinks he might be your dad," Dakota stated, trying to reassure him, "but he doesn't know that for sure. It may turn out that he isn't related, and then Dad can still adopt you."

"But what if he is my dad? Then I'll have to leave all of you to live with him."

"Maybe you can just tell him that you'd rather live with us," Glen suggested. "He might not want you if he knows you don't want to live with him."

"I can try, but I don't think it will work," Jamie sobbed back.

"I think you boys are putting the cart before the horse because it still hasn't been determined if he's Jamie's father."

"You're probably right, but that's a strange way of saying it," Laine pointed out.

"Yes, I suppose it is, but it's an expression my dad used to use when he thought I was getting ahead of myself. Let me explain. Before there were cars, people used to travel by horse and wagon or horse and cart, and the horse pulled the wagon or cart by being in front of it. It wouldn't work if you put the wagon or cart before the horse, and that's where the expression comes from. My dad had to explain it to me when I was your age too."

***

Shortly after we finished our discussion, the boys decided to watch TV, but Jamie was too upset to enjoy it or anything else, so I merely held him on my lap while the other boys watched what was on. During the commercials, they would try to offer Jamie some words of encouragement, but their efforts weren't having much of an impact. When it was time to get ready for bed, I carried Jamie upstairs, undressed him, and then I carried him into the shower. Dakota joined us so he could help out, and together we washed Jamie before washing each other. I also had to dry Jamie off, and then I carried him out and laid him on my bed. I was definitely going to have Jamie sleep with me tonight.

"Put him in the middle, and then we can both cuddle with him," Dakota suggested when he saw what I was doing. I thought it was an excellent idea, so I moved Jamie's limp frame over to the center of the mattress. I wanted him to sleep with me because I was afraid he was going to have nightmares or have trouble sleeping, especially alone, so I decided to do something he liked–to help him relax. I thought it would possibly help him forget about his current problem, at least for a little while, but I mentioned what I was planning to Dakota first.

"Would you mind if I showed Jamie some love tonight to help make him feel better?"

"No, go ahead and do it. I feel really bad for him."

"Thank you. That's very considerate of you."

I laid down beside Jamie and began to kiss him, to let him know that my feelings for him haven't changed, as well as trying to comfort him. I wasn't surprised when he didn't respond, but I didn't let that stop me. I kissed his mouth first, and when he didn't react, and his lips never parted, I merely kissed him all over his face, and then I moved down to his neck. He still wasn't responding as I kissed that area either, so I moved lower and attacked his nipples next. I teased the tiny nubs with my tongue before nipping on them playfully with my teeth, and after doing that for a short time I got up and moved down to his feet.

Once there, I lifted his legs and moved them back to his chest, and then I rimmed his tiny hole the same way that I'd done before. He would occasionally moan as I was doing this, which told me I was making progress and having an effect. Encouraged, I did that for a few more minutes, and then I lowered his legs before moving between them. I attacked his tiny scrotum next and used my tongue and lips to give him as much pleasure as possible. I then began to lick on his tiny spike, which had awakened and was reacting to my efforts even if he wasn't.

I continued running my tongue up and down his shaft and around the sensitive helmet, and then I opened my mouth and swallowed it so I could start nodding up and down on it. Jamie began to moan even more, and his hips began to bounce up and down on the mattress, although I wasn't sure if his actions were totally voluntary or purely instinctive. Either way, I was doing my best to bring him off.

I not only increased the suction, but I also increased the speed at which I was bobbing up and down on his erection, and then I heard him grunt as the first string of his boy nectar blasted into my mouth. I continued my efforts and received a couple more strands, and then I kept sucking on his little fire hose until I'd drained it completely.

As I was pulling away and letting him enjoy the wonderful feelings that were currently enveloping his slender frame, I noticed that Dakota had a raging boner just from watching us. I slowly got up, slid off the bed, and walked over to stand beside him next.

"Since you were so nice, I'm going to take care of that for you as well," I said, as I tweaked his leaking mast.

After he laid back, I bent over and started working on him next, the same way I'd just done with Jamie. Dakota was thrusting his penis in and out of my mouth while his hands were guiding my head up and down on his shaft. After several minutes of this frantic action, his body stiffened, and he drove his penis deep into my throat as he blasted the first strands of his boy cream down my gullet. I pulled back a little so that I could capture some of it on my tongue, and that allowed me to enjoy the sweet flavor of his semen. I carried on like this until he was completely drained, and then I swallowed what I had in my mouth before I pulled away.

I kissed Dakota before I returned to my side of the bed and crawled into place beside Jamie. He was sleeping soundly, possibly because my efforts had relaxed him to the point where he was able to doze off, for which I was grateful. I laid on my side facing him as I pulled the sheet up to cover each of us, and then I draped my arm across his chest.

"Thanks, Dad," Dakota mumbled as he rolled onto his side and draped his arm across Jamie's waist.

"You're welcome, and consider it a reward for being such a great kid."

"I just hope this works out so you can adopt Jamie too," he added.

"Me too, but now it's all up to whomever or whatever has more control over this situation than I have."

I then laid my head on the pillow, as I touched both Jamie and Dakota with my arm, and then I drifted off to sleep.

***

When I awoke in the morning, both boys were still asleep. I'd been hoping that if Jamie had felt both Dakota and me holding him during the night, it might have kept him from waking up, but it didn't seem to work out quite as well as I'd hoped. Regrettably, I felt him thrashing around throughout the night, which told me he probably didn't have a very restful sleep, but at least he didn't wake up, so I was grateful we'd had at least that much of an impact.

I considered getting out of bed and going downstairs so I could start preparing breakfast, but then I didn't want Jamie to wake up while I was gone. I merely got up long enough to use the toilet, and then I crawled back into bed as soon as that problem had been taken care of. Dakota was looking at me as I rolled over to drape my arm across Jamie again, and he spoke when I looked at him.

"Mornin', Dad. Aren't you gonna go downstairs to start fixin' breakfast for us?"

"Yes, but I'm going to wait until Jamie wakes up first. I don't want to leave him alone."

"I'll stay here with him."

"I know, but this is one of those times when I think he needs his dad, and for now, that is still me."

"Oh, ok. I understand."

It was about fifteen minutes later when we heard a knock on the bedroom door, so I asked Dakota to get up and answer it. As he was walking there, I suddenly realized we had all gotten into bed naked last night after taking our shower. We usually put on our underwear first, but last night we didn't bother to do that. When Dakota opened the bedroom door, he found Glen waiting on the other side.

"I just wanted to see if you guys were awake," he said shyly as he glanced over at me. "Are you gonna be fixing breakfast soon?"

He was obviously hungry and trying to encourage me without coming out and saying so directly.

"Yes, when Jamie wakes up. I don't want to leave him alone."

"I'm awake," a yawning voice said next to me.

"I take it our talking and the knock at the door woke you up?" I asked rhetorically.

"Yeah, but I'm hungry too."

"Ok, then what would you like to eat this morning?"

"Whatever you fix."

"Ok, then what would you like me to fix?"

He thought for a minute before he answered. "Uhhh, do you know how to make omelets?"

"Yes, I do, so what kind would you like?"

"My mom used to make me cheese omelets once in a while and I liked those a lot."

"Ok, I can do that. I'll make some home fries too, along with frying up some bacon and sausage links, and then I'll make each of you boys an omelet. Ok?"

"Yeah, that sounds good."

The boys then followed me downstairs after they stopped to empty their bladders first, and I also reminded them to put something on before they came down to eat.

It took me a while to get everything ready, but the boys were patient and looking forward to this because it was something I hadn't fixed for them before. I gave them the home fries, bacon, and sausages first because I could only make two omelets at a time, but it was still amazingly quiet around the breakfast table. No one was talking, so it made me wonder if they were afraid they might say something that would make Jamie feel bad, or if they just weren't with it yet, but I didn't ask.

After I fed the boys and we'd cleared off the table, they headed upstairs, but before they left, I asked Jamie a question. "Would you like to stay down here with me?"

"Nah, I'm gonna go upstairs and play games with the other boys, but thank you for last night. That helped a lot, especially when you sucked my cock."

"Ah, I wasn't sure you even knew I'd done that."

"Yeah, I did, and it was really great. That's another reason I want you to be my dad, cuz you know how to make me feel good."

"It might still happen, so don't count it out just yet?"

"K, I won't. When do I gotta take that test?"

"I'm going to call Paul to see if he can do it at the police station or if I have to call a lab, but I'll let you know when we'll be going to do it. Either way, we'll have to drive into the city again."

"Ok, and thanks for bein' my dad."

"It's been my pleasure, and I hope I'll be able to continue filling that role for you."

"You'll always be my dad, even if I hafta go live with that other guy."

"I'm glad you feel that way because you'll always be my son, no matter where you live."

As soon as he went upstairs, I took out my phone and called Paul. He answered almost immediately.

"I already know why you're calling, because Murray called me first," he answered. "And yes, I can swab Jamie's cheek for you here. How did he take the news?"

"Not very well, and he cried a lot, but he seems to be handling it a lot better this morning."

"I feel bad for the poor kid. He's never had a dad, and now that he's found one and loves him dearly, a stranger comes along and messes things up."

"As I told him, we don't know if it's messed up yet, but it has thrown a wrench into the machinery. So, would any particular time work best for you?"

"Whenever it's good for you, but just let me know when you'll be here. I'll meet with you to do this whenever you want to drive into the city."

"Then let's plan on tomorrow, and I'll try to be there by 10:00. I'll have Dakota call you just before we reach the city limits, so you'll have an idea about when we'll be arriving."

"Ok, that sounds fine and I'll wait for you at the station. I just hope this guy is not the daddy." I instinctively laughed when he said that. "What's so funny?"

"I'm sorry, but it's just the way you said it. Do you remember the animated show Dinosaurs from the 90s? I hope so because you sounded just like the baby dinosaur when it would look at its father and say 'not the mama.'"

"Yes, I remember that. It's a very fond memory from my childhood."

"For me, too, and we'll see you tomorrow."

***

After I hung up, I sat alone for a few minutes as I organized my thoughts. The first thing I needed to do was plan the trip into the city in the morning. As much as I hated driving there again, because it seemed as if I was doing it quite often now, I figured I might as well complete as many errands as possible while we were there. I didn't want to have to go back there again in a few days and hoped the frequency of these trips would eventually diminish after the adoptions were finalized. I was also considering the other items that were still unfinished as I was doing this.

Not only would we be waiting on the results of the DNA test, but I'd also be waiting to hear the findings of the advocate's report and a call from my attorney to notify me of the date and time of the adoption ceremony. Hopefully, once the adoptions are finalized, we'll be getting a little break until the middle of August because that's when Laine will be returning to his family. This means I'll also have to make plans to drive him home, as well as enrolling the other boys in school, and getting myself ready to return to work. It will be a mad rush through the end of the summer, seeing there is still a great deal left to do.

I was just about to head upstairs to check on the boys when the doorbell rang. I had no idea who it might be since I wasn't expecting any deliveries or anyone to visit, and as I got up to see who was there I heard the boys racing to the top of the stairs. Obviously, they were just being nosy again and wanted to see who had rung the doorbell. I didn't say anything and merely opened the door to find a man and a woman waiting on the other side. As soon as they saw me, the man began to speak.

"Hello, my name is Rob Meacham, and this is Amy Rhodes, and we're here to inspect the Angel House Residential Center. I hope we're at the right place because there's no sign out front to indicate if this is the correct location."

"Yes, this is the Angel House Residential Center. I merely try to keep the location somewhat private, so I don't stigmatize those who are currently residing here. I prefer that people merely think this is a family home, so no one will protest it being at this location. However, I'm afraid I wasn't expecting you."

"Yes, this is an unannounced inspection," Amy replied. "Have you posted your occupancy certificate?"

"Yes, it's right there," I answered as I invited them inside and pointed at the frame on the wall. They both walked over to inspect it.

"Very good. It seems to be in order, so we'd like you to show us around."

Chapter 24
Dodging Bullets

"Are you the owner/operator or one of the staff?" the woman asked.

"I'm the owner/operator, and right now, I'm the only staff."

"Oh, that's highly unusual," she muttered while glancing over at her companion. "So, who does all of the work?"

"I cook the meals, do the laundry, and take care of the grounds. The boys help clear off the table, load the dishwasher, and they also help clean different areas of the house."

"So how many residents do you have?"

"Currently, there are four boys."

"So, there are no female residents?"

"No. If there were females residents, then I would need to hire female staff members to deal with them."

"Yes, that's correct," she mused before her partner spoke up.

"Why don't you just take us on a tour then," Rob urged.

I showed them the downstairs first and pointed out the great room, kitchen, and dining area, which were all visible from where we were standing. Then I took them to see the family and laundry rooms next. Fortunately, we had cleaned up the dining area and kitchen after we ate breakfast this morning, and the laundry was currently caught up, and the family room was in decent shape as well. I was also relieved that the boys were all dressed when they were standing at the top of the stairs when these two first entered, although they disappeared quickly after Rob announced who they were.

After I'd showed them the downstairs, we headed upstairs so they could inspect the bedrooms next. Two of the boys were on the computers working on the educational software, and the other two were in their rooms reading the books I'd given them.

"Are these common activities for the boys?" Rob asked.

"Yes, the boys are required to spend a minimum of an hour each day working with the educational software on the computers, which has applications appropriate for each of their academic levels. Those who aren't able to be on the computers are asked to read the books that I've provided for them, and those are also appropriate for their current grade levels."

Amy had been checking out the computer programs the boys were working on while Rob was asking the other boys about the books they were reading. When they finished doing that, they both went to check out the two bathrooms next.

"I'm impressed with what I've seen so far, and the boys appear to be enjoying what they're doing," Rob stated.

"Thank you, and they do enjoy the time they spend on either of those activities, and I also allow them to play games on the computer once they've finished working with the education software. It's a reward for being cooperative."

"I see, but do they get any recreational time?"

"Yes, I have ATVs that I've taught them how to drive, and yesterday I took them for a hike on the government land that abuts my property. The boys will also be swimming with me in the pond that you passed when you were coming up the driveway."

"Ok, that sounds adequate, so how much land do you own?"

"The house is part of 960 acres that I purchased."

"I didn't know this was such a large place," Rob muttered to himself, obviously impressed.

"Since you're the only staff, where do you sleep?" Amy asked next.

"In the master bedroom, which is right over here," I said, and then I led them inside.

"Do you also use the same bathrooms as the boys?" Amy asked as she was looking around.

"No, I have my own bathroom, and I apologize that my bed isn't made yet. The boys were hungry, so I hurried downstairs to feed them."

"It doesn't look too bad," Rob noted.

He was correct. One of the boys had straightened it up a bit, and thankfully he'd also removed the clothes the three of us had taken off the previous night because we'd left them scattered about on the floor.

While Rob and I were still chatting, Amy walked over to Dakota's room and asked him a question. "What did you have for breakfast this morning?"

"A cheese omelet, home fries, bacon, and sausages."

She looked surprised, and then she walked over to Glen's room next. "And what did you have for dinner last night?" she inquired.

"Uhhh, pizza, some broccoli thingy, and a salad."

"What type of salad?" she challenged.

"With lettuce, tomatoes, and dressin'," he replied. Once again, she raised her eyebrows in surprise.

She then returned to the master bedroom, and I showed her the bathroom and my closet. "My god, your closet is bigger than my bathroom," she said when she saw it.

"Yes, I went big when I did everything," I replied.

"This reminds me, we didn't check out the closets in the other bedrooms," she told Rob.

"I think you'll be impressed with those as well," I said as I followed her over to Dakota's room.

"Young man, may I look in your closet?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's right there," he responded.

She opened the door and gasped. "This is larger than the closet in my bedroom, and it's got built-in drawers and shelving, as well as bars to hang their clothes on. Are they all this big?"

"Yes, the other closets are basically identical, and I insist the boys take care of their things."

"Impressive," Rob stated, "but the occupancy certificate said this place is appropriate for up to sixteen residents."

"Yes, but for the time being, I left the rooms the way they were before I made my home into a residential center, but if we take in more boys, I'll take the beds out of the rooms and put them in storage. Then, I'll replace them with bunk beds, and it was determined that each room would be suitable for two sets of bunk beds. This means that each bedroom can accommodate four people, and with four bedrooms that accounts for the occupancy determination of sixteen."

"I see, and this is quite a place. The boys have plenty of room, both inside and outside, and they seem to be well-fed and have suitable programs established for them. I would, however, like to see what transportation you use when you take them out somewhere."

"Then follow me to the garage."

I took Rob and Amy downstairs and showed them the Cadillac Escalade ESV, along with the ATVs."

"You may need a larger vehicle if you take in more residents, but this is suitable for now," he stated. "Do the boys have proper safety equipment when they ride the four-wheelers," he added as he pointed toward the ATVs.

"Yes, they're back there on the workbench," I explained, and then I took him back to show him the goggles and gloves inside each helmet. "And I have them wear a pair of Dockers and a long sleeve tee-shirt whenever they ride on them."

"Very good, and those seem sufficient for the purpose."

When we walked back to where Amy was waiting, she looked at me and spoke. "Thank you for showing us around, and I'm pleased to inform you that we haven't observed any deficiencies, so you'll be getting a positive inspection report mailed to you for your files."

"Thank you, and I'm glad you were pleased with what you saw today."

"It was all very appropriate," Rob added, "but you may have to make some changes if you accept more residents, such as the bunk beds and a larger vehicle, possibly a small bus."

"Yes, I'll keep that in mind."

"Thank you very much for showing us around, and we may see you again in the future."

"You're very welcome and I look forward to your next visit."

Now that the inspection was over, I walked them out to the car they were driving, obviously a government vehicle. As soon as I went back into the house, the boys came racing downstairs to see if everything was ok.

"Did they like what they saw?" Dakota asked.

"Yes, as well as what you boys told them."

"When we heard them tell you who they were, we went back to our rooms to make our beds and pick up a little," Laine confessed.

"Yes, I saw and appreciated that, and someone took care of my bedroom as well. Luckily the downstairs was already in fairly good shape, including the family room."

"Me and Dakota went to your bedroom after we fixed ours," Jamie added. "We just wanted to make sure they didn't find anything wrong, cuz we didn't want to hafta leave here."

"Yeah, we was startin' to worry 'bout that," Glen confessed.

"Well, we're safe until their next visit."

Now that we were all able to take a deep sigh of relief, we went back to what we'd been doing. As I was walking away, I now had a greater appreciation for the old saying, 'when it rains, it pours.' Not only were we dealing with the current development in Jamie's parental situation, but those two showed up unannounced to inspect the facility. I hope everything else goes as well as this visit had.

***

Seeing Amy and Rob had thrown off my plans for the morning, I mentally made some adjustments to what I was going to do, and then I called the boys together to let them know about the changes. When we were all together, I began to speak.

"I was planning on taking you out on the four-wheelers this morning, but our visitors messed that up. I've decided to take you out after lunch instead, so I want you to change before you come down to eat, and then we can leave right after you finish your meals."

"You mean right after you finish, cuz you take longer than us," Glen teased.

"Yes, I suppose you're right, and tomorrow morning I'll be getting you up early so we can drive into the city, so Jamie can get his cheek swabbed."

"And then these guys will all be able to meet Paul too," Dakota stated.

"Yes, I suppose they will."

"Who's Paul?" Laine asked.

"He's Dad's policeman friend. He's the guy that called Dad and talked him into bringing me here after I got picked up by the mall cop."

"He sounds like a nice guy, so I want to meet him," Glen responded.

"Yeah, me too," Laine chimed in. "If he got you to bring Kota here and then Kota told you about us, then we need to thank him too. If he hadn't done that, we'd still be livin' on the street and havin' sex with other guys so that we could eat."

"Then you'll all get a chance to meet him tomorrow. Just so you know, I'll only be taking Jamie into the police station to get his cheek swabbed, but that shouldn't take very long, and then I'll invite Paul to join us for the afternoon. I'm sure he'll be able to suggest something we can do, and that's when I'll introduce him to each of you."

"Ok, that sounds good," they all agreed.

***

Now that they knew what was going on, the boys took off again, and I threw a load of towels into the washing machine before I went out to see what I was going to prepare for lunch. When I finally decided what to fix, I quickly threw it together and called the boys down to eat. They were all wearing a pair of Dockers and a long-sleeve tee-shirt, and after we finished eating, I went up to change as well. When I came downstairs again, we headed out to the garage to get started.

I took the ATVs outside while the boys were putting on their goggles, helmets, and gloves, and then I did the same. Once we were all ready, we drove over to the gasoline storage tank to fill up, and then I led them across the slope of the front yard and toward the field that lay beyond. The field was overgrown with many different kinds of weeds, so we blazed a trail through it and left our tire tracks behind as we passed over the ground. I was heading toward a gap that had been cut in the tree line dividing this field from the next one, and when we reached there, I slowed down. I did this, so the boys didn't accidentally crash into one of the trees on either side of the narrow opening as we crossed into the next overgrown field.

As we made our way through the next assortment of weeds, I aimed for the opening in the next tree line, which was located a little higher up on the slope. I angled my ATV across the hill and led the boys in that direction, and when we passed through that gap in the tree line, we made our way across the final field as well. I had the boys stop when we reached the next tree line, so we could change drivers before heading back.

As soon as the boys had switched places, we carefully made a U-turn, and then we headed toward the top of the hill. When we reached the trail at the top, we used it to go around the tree line, and then we angled across the next field as we head toward the opposite end of the next tree line. When we got there, I led them out onto the road, and we followed it until we reached the driveway, and then we followed it back to the garage. When we came to a stop, the boys started asking questions.

"You told us before that each of those fields that we crossed used to be a farm, so why didn't we see any houses or barns?" Laine wanted to know.

"They've all been torn down. The buildings on one of the farms were demolished before I bought the land, but I had to hire guys to tear down the buildings on the other two farms, as well as on the property where I had my house built."

"Can we see where any of those buildings were?" Glen asked next.

"I'm afraid not. I had the area bulldozed and leveled off on this lot so that I could build my house, and the dirt was used to cover up where the barn once stood. The old farmhouse would have been where the pond is now, and the barn was about halfway between there and where my house is now."

"As far as the other farms are concerned, if you'd been here shortly after they were first taken down, you would have been able to recognize where they once stood, but those places have become overgrown since then. You might be able to locate the ruts that remain from the trails the tractors used to follow, but I purposefully avoided those areas today, because hitting them can be dangerous. If you don't know where they are and drive into one accidentally it can either throw you off your seat or cause you to lose your grip on the handlebars and crash."

"Ahhh, I don't want that to happen," Glen mumbled after hearing my answer.

"So, what did they use the fields for?" Jamie followed.

"Part of the fields would have been fenced in for the animals, and it would have been where they grazed. The owners would have hayed the rest of the land and stored the hay in the barn to feed the animals during the winter. I suppose they probably would have had a garden for the family as well, so with what they grew in the garden and the animals they raised or hunted, they would have been able to keep their families fed."

"Man, I'm glad I didn't live back then," Dakota stated. "That must have been hard and boring."

"Yes, it would have been much different than what you boys are used to today."

I then asked them to put their gear on the workbench while I arranged the ATVs in the garage, and then I had them take off their clothes before going inside. They weren't covered in dust like when we rode on the trails, but their clothes were covered in pollen, burrs, and other pieces of the plant life that we'd broken off while traveling across the fields. After they shook their clothes off outside, I asked them to shower as well, because we'd all been sweating while out in the hot July sun and were more than a little ripe.

Dakota and Jamie asked if they could shower with me, and I didn't have a problem with that. Besides, I felt Jamie might still need me to be there for him, while Dakota was just a clingy boyfriend who always wanted to be with me, but I didn't mind. I was glad to do this for both of them.

After we'd finished washing each other, the boys wanted to play games on the computer, so I headed downstairs and left them to entertain each other. I used the time to put the clothes they had just taken off in the washing machine, and I was just about to go out and start fixing dinner when Jamie came down to ask me a question.

"Can you take us swimming in the pond? You said you was gonna teach me how to swim, and we can eat after that, so will you do that with us?"

"Do you know if the other boys want to go swimming?" I responded.

"Yeah," the others agreed from the top of the stairs. I hadn't noticed them there previously.

"Ok, then let's change into our swimsuits, and we'll head down to the pond. Jamie, I'm going to watch Dakota and see if I can give him a few pointers first before I start working with you, so I want you to wait on the dock until I tell you I'm ready to work with you."

"K."

"Then why don't all of you go change and I'll meet you back here. Oh, and grab the towels you used earlier, so we don't have to use more towels."

"But they're all wet," Glen whined.

"Just hang them on the railing on the porch, and they'll be dry by the time we finish. It's hot out there today, so they'll dry quickly."

"Oh, ok."

I went to change too, but I knew they'd do it faster than me, so it's why I told them I'd meet them downstairs. As soon as he'd changed, Dakota came over to wait for me, and we each grabbed the towels we'd used earlier before walking downstairs together. The other boys followed us out the front door, and we hung our towels on the railing before walking down the lawn to reach the pond. The walk alone would have been plenty of exercise on an average day, especially in this heat, so the swim was a bonus. After we got to the pond, I ran down the dock and dove into the water, and then Laine, Glen, and Dakota did the same.

Dakota was a little less exuberant when doing this than the other two because he wasn't as confident a swimmer, so I watched him for a while and offered him a few tips. He caught on fairly quickly, so I only watched him for a couple of minutes more, and then I treaded water in front of the dock as I encouraged Jamie to join us.

"Just jump off the dock like you're jumping off the third step on the staircase," I suggested. "I want you to do it feet first, not head first."

"But I can't swim."

"I know, and I'll be here to catch you, and then I'll teach you what to do. Just hold your breath, because you'll probably go below the waterline at first. Ok?"

"I'll try cuz I know you won't let nothin' happen to me."

"Good, so do it whenever you're ready."

He hesitated briefly, and then he squatted down a little so he could spring off the dock. As soon as he hit the water, I reached out to grab him and kept him afloat. Once his head was completely out of the water, he spluttered momentarily before he looked at me and smiled.

"I did it," he stated triumphantly.

"Yes, you did. Now I'll teach you how to swim."

First, I explained what I wanted him to do, and then I placed my arms under his chest while he practiced. We did this for a few minutes, and Jamie was making good progress, so eventually I moved my arms farther below him, so they were no longer touching his chest.

"Hey, you're not holding me anymore," he gasped.

"My arms are still there if you need help, but I wanted to see how you were doing on your own."

That seemed to be enough reassurance for him, and he continued swimming. He didn't notice when I withdrew my arms entirely and placed them at my side, and when he finally realized it he panicked and began to flounder. I quickly grabbed ahold of him until he was back under control.

"Why did you do that?" he demanded.

"I did it because you didn't need my help any longer. You were doing great on your own until you started to panic."

"Really?"

"Yes, and I want you to do that again. Don't worry about this time, because I'll be right here if you need help."

After I got him started again, I eventually pulled my arms away, but this time Jamie continued to swim on his own. After a couple of minutes, I went over to support him so we could chat.

"You're doing great, so how do you feel?"

"I'm a little tired, but I'm glad I can swim now."

"You're definitely learning, so I'll let you go again, but I'll stay here with you the entire time."

***

I stayed in the water with the boys for another thirty minutes, but that was all the time I thought we could spare. I announced to the boys that it was time to get out and suggested they use one of the ladders that were located on either side of the dock to climb out of the water. I explained that if they attempted to get out of the pond by swimming over until it was shallow enough to walk out, it might prove to be more difficult than they thought. The area beneath the waterline is muddy and can be difficult to move in, and I was worried one of their feet could sink further into the mud and cause them to get stuck. Using either of the ladders was much easier and safer.

Once we were all out of the water, we walked back to the house. Even though much of the water had dripped off our bodies before we got there, we dried off the rest with the towels that we'd left on the porch before entering. After we went inside, we changed quickly, and then I headed to the kitchen to fix dinner because I knew we had all worked up a healthy appetite after the long ride, the walk, and the swim we'd just enjoyed.

When I finished preparing dinner, I called the boys down to the table, and while we were eating, I told them what we would do next. "As soon as you're done eating, I want you to go to the utility room and get the three plastic buckets, the bottle of Spic and Span liquid, and some cleaning rags that are stored there. Put a capful of the Spic and Span into each bucket and fill it with warm water, and then bring the buckets and rags out in front of the garage. I'll pull the ATVs out of the garage and hook up the hose so we can wash them since they are very dirty from our many rides."

"Yeah, they could use a good cleanin'," Glen agreed.

As soon as we finished our meal and the boys did as I asked, I showed them how to clean the ATVs properly. I used the hose to rinse them off as well, and then we used more rags to wipe the ATVs down before I put them back in the garage. That's when I discovered another problem.

***

"I think you boys are going to have to take another shower because while cleaning the ATVs you got dirty again."

"Yeah, the water we used turned the dirt in front of the garage into mud, and our legs are covered in it," Laine confirmed.

"Yeah, and some of the dirt that was on the ATVs got on us too," Dakota added.

"Just take your athletic shoes and socks off before going inside and leave them in the garage to dry. We can clean those off tomorrow."

"Me and Glen want to shower with you, cuz you still owe us," Laine mentioned next. "We haven't had a chance to do that since the last time."

"Ok, then I'll shower with you two," I confirmed. "Dakota and Jamie, are you going to shower together or alone?"

"We'll shower together," Jamie answered, and Dakota nodded.

I could tell Dakota knew why Laine and Glen wanted to shower with me, but he was showing restraint and didn't look upset this time, as he promised. I went with the other pair to my bathroom, while Jamie and Dakota used one of the other bathrooms. When I was adjusting the water, Laine stated what they wanted.

"This time, you can fuck me while I fuck Glen, and I'll jerk him off at the same time, just like he did with me."

"Ok, I'm fine with that, but I'm going to need a little help to get ready."

"Yeah, we know, and I'll take care of that."

Laine then sucked on my penis to get me hard, while Glen was doing the same thing for him. Once we both had erections, we used the conditioner as lube again, and then I waited until Laine had entered Glen before I penetrated him, and then we worked into a nice rhythm.

Laine was masturbating Glen at the same time, and we were all working our way to an orgasm. Once again, the boys reached that point before I did, but Laine's anal contractions helped to hasten my journey to join them, and we all swooned in post-orgasmic bliss for the next minute. Laine and I then withdrew from our partners, and then we washed off quickly before stepping out of the shower. We then dried off, and the other two returned to their rooms.

Dakota came in to join me a few seconds after they'd left, and we prepared to sleep. "Would you like me to suck you off first?" I asked since I felt maybe he needed some relief as well.

"Nah, me and Jamie did that to each other."

"Jamie sucked you off?" I asked because his statement surprised me. I knew Jamie didn't like doing that as much as the other boys did.

"Yeah, it was his idea."

"Hmmm, maybe he's finally starting to figure out if he's gay."

"I think he's like Laine but is just startin' to realize he doesn't mind doing stuff with us. He just doesn't like doin' it with others, like the men that used to pay him to do stuff."

"I see."

We then cuddled in bed and fell asleep.

Chapter 25
Another Trip to the City

The next morning, I got the boys up early, fed them, and then sent them upstairs to get dressed. Once we were all ready, we went out and loaded into the SUV so we could head into the city. As I started the long drive, the boys were all talking to Jamie and trying to build his confidence concerning what he was about to do.

"The DNA test is gonna be easy, cuz I've seen it done on TV in those cop shows before," Glen stated first. "They do it on there all the time to see if the guy's DNA matches the evidence."

"And I have a feeling this guy isn't gonna be your dad, so Dad will be able to adopt you," Dakota added.

"You'll have a dad either way," Laine followed, "and if that guy is your dad, then you'll just end up like me, cuz I'm gonna have two dads from now on. I know Dad is gonna keep in touch with both of us even if we're not here, wontcha Dad?"

"Of course I will, and I'll try to spend time with you too, like having you come back here for a visit next summer. And if this guy won't let you spend time with me, then we'll find other ways to keep in touch."

"I just wish somebody else could take this test for me, cuz that way I'd know I could stay with you," Jamie responded.

"I know, but if this guy is your dad, then you might find out you like him too."

"Not as much as I like you, and I'm sure he won't suck my cock and make me feel as good as you do."

"Maybe not, but he might do other things you'll like."

"Yeah, maybe, but I don't know that for sure," Jamie relented.

"No, but you may eventually discover there are things he does that you like if it turns out he is your dad."

After trying to put a positive spin on this, I turned the conversation to what they were planning on doing when we returned home later, as well as what they wanted to do the next day. I let the boys talk about those things amongst themselves while I focused my attention on driving, and when we got closer to the city limits, I handed Dakota my cell phone.

"Why are you givin' me this?"

"I want you to call Paul and let him know that we're approaching the city limits, so he'll have an idea about how soon we'll be there."

"Oh, ok. I can do that."

After I heard him chatting with Paul, I glanced into the rearview mirror to see how Jamie was doing. He appeared to be holding up reasonably well, and part of the reason for that might have had something to do with the fact that Laine had an arm draped around Jamie's shoulders. He appeared to be playing the role of a big brother who's younger brother needed some emotional support, and it was heartwarming to witness this interaction.

A few minutes later, I was pulling the SUV to a stop along the curb, just a stone's throw away from the police station. Once I'd turned off the engine, I asked the boys to lower their windows a bit so they'd have some fresh air while Jamie and I went in to see Paul. It was still fairly early, and it wasn't very hot out yet, so I knew they'd be okay because we wouldn't be gone for very long.

When I opened the door to enter the police station, I immediately spotted Paul chatting with another officer. When he became aware that we were there, he told the other officer he'd get back to him later and walked over to greet us.

"So this must be the young man I'm supposed to test," he stated as he looked down at Jamie.

"Yes, it is. Paul, this is Jamie, and Jamie this is my best friend, Paul."

"It's nice to meet you, Jamie," Paul said as he offered his hand.

"I'm glad to meet you too, cuz Dad says you helped Kota come live with him, and then Kota talked Dad into lettin' us live with him too."

"I'm glad I was able to do that for all of you, and now I'm supposed to take a DNA sample from you. Even though I have to do this, I hope it doesn't match the other guy's DNA, if that's what you want."

"Yeah, it is cuz I wanna stay with Dad."

"I had a feeling that's what you were going to say, so come with me."

We followed Paul to a small room, and when we got there, Paul took out a small sealed envelope and ripped it open. He then withdrew a plastic tube, flipped open the lid, and removed a long-handled cotton swab that was contained within. Once he was holding it in his hand, he asked Jamie to open his mouth, and as soon as he complied, Paul rubbed the cotton swab around the inside of Jamie's cheek. He then placed the swab into the plastic tube again and sealed it.

"That's all there is to it, and now I'll send it off to be tested."

"How long before you know if he's my dad?"

"It will take a few days, and then someone will call Eric to let him know the results."

"K, and thank you for bein' so nice."

"You're welcome, Jamie, and I hope this works out the way you want."

"Paul, you're planning to join us for a while, aren't you?"

"Yes, but am I supposed to ride with you, or do you want me to meet you somewhere? I switched my shift, so this is my day off, and I can do it either way."

"We can all ride together."

"Ok, then I want to drive my car home and leave it there, so will you drive over to pick me up?"

"Sure, I can do that, and I hope you've thought of something we can do with the boys."

"Yes, I have. I asked some of the guys that have kids about this, and they've told me about a new kart track that opened at the beginning of the summer. They said their kids loved it when they took them there, so I thought your boys would like it too."

"Yes, I'm sure they will, seeing they already like driving the four-wheelers."

"Then I suggest we go there."

"And after we finish up there, I'm going to take everyone out for lunch, including you. I'll drop you off at the house after we finish eating."

"Ok, sounds like a plan, so I'll see you at the house in a few minutes."

Jamie and I then left the station and walked back to the SUV to join the other boys.

"How did it go?" Glen asked as soon as we were inside.

"It was kinda like you said, but I prolly won't know nothin' for a while cuz that's what Paul told me."

"Dad, how long do you think it's gonna take before he knows the results?" Laine followed.

"Like he said, it will take a few days because they have to send Jamie's sample away to be analyzed first, and then they'll compare it to the samples taken from his mom and this other guy. Once that's been done, someone will let us know if he's Jamie's father."

"So will they send you a letter or call you?" Dakota asked.

"I believe they'll probably contact my lawyer first, and then he'll call me."

"Damn, why is everything so complicated?" Dakota spat back.

"It's not complicated, but there is a process that needs to be followed. We're muggles, not wizards, so things like this take time."

"Oh, ok, but I feel bad that Jamie has to wait to find out if this guy is his dad."

"So, what are we going to do now?" Glen asked.

"We're going to drive over to Paul's house to pick him up because he wanted to take his car home before he joined us, and then he has an idea about what we can do."

"Yeah, I heard him tell Dad 'bout a kart track," Jamie added.

"Do you mean go-karts?" Laine asked Jamie.

"I guess so, but I'm not sure cuz I don't know what they are."

"They're like small cars you drive around a track," Laine clarified.

"Is that what Paul was talkin' 'bout, Dad?" Jamie followed.

"Yes, it is," I confirmed.

"Ohhh, that's sound like fun," Jamie quickly agreed.

"I'm sure you'll all enjoy it, so let's go over to Paul's house."

***

When we got there, I asked Dakota to move back with the other boys so Paul could sit in front with me. He wasn't happy about having to do this, but he eventually complied, and then Paul hopped into the seat beside me a few seconds later.

"Let me introduce you to the other boys," I told Paul after he'd buckled in.

I then introduced him to Laine and Glen, and they chatted briefly after saying hello to each other. During that time, Paul asked them a little bit about themselves, and then the boys thanked Paul for indirectly bringing us all together. Once they finished their discussion, I attempted to get down to business.

"Ok, so where is this place?"

After Paul told me, I drove there, and we all went inside to check it out. We entered the far right side of the building where the visitors paid to drive the karts, but most of the structure was used to either store or repair the karts when they weren't in use. I walked up to the counter to speak with the man working there.

"Good day," he said when I reached the counter. "How many of you are planning to do this?"

After I told him, he spoke again. "It appears that everyone is tall enough, so have they ever driven a kart before?"

"No, but they've all driven ATVs. We go out on them all the time at home."

"Ok, but we'll still have to give them a quick briefing about how to operate the karts before they go out on the track."

"That's fine. Are the fees for a certain number of laps around the track or for a specific length of time?"

"The fee is for ten minutes on the track, and you can drive around as many times as you can during that time."

"Then I'll pay for thirty minutes for each of us, so what do I owe you?"

After I'd taken care of the fee, we followed another guy to the other side of the building where the carts were stored. Once there, he gave the boys a brief lesson on how to operate the karts, and then he asked if there were any questions. After he answered the queries, he gave a short safety instruction next, and once those things had been taken care of, we were each given a helmet to wear before we chose the kart we wanted to drive. The karts looked more like something you'd see in a Formula 1 race, although much smaller, rather than what I used to drive when I did this as a kid back in the 1990s.

When we were ready, I realized I hadn't seen anyone else out on the track, so I decided to ask him about it. "Are we the first ones here?"

"Yes, it's still early, and we usually use this time to get ready for the day by repairing problems with the karts, as well as cleaning them. It doesn't usually get busy around here until the afternoon, and our busiest times are after 5:00 and on the weekends."

Now that we were all ready to go, I called the boys together before we went out to do this. "I'm going to ask you to follow me around the track the first time to help you become familiar with both the karts and the track."

I was doing this because it wasn't merely an oval track like you'd see in a NASCAR race. This track had multiple turns, some to the right, and others to the left, and the boys would have to slow down for most of them, or they'd probably crash into the barriers. There were also a couple of banked curves they could speed around, and I wanted them to become familiar with each of these features before I left them on their own.

"Once we've gone completely around the track and know what it's like, I'll allow you to go on your own, and you won't have to follow me any longer."

"Can we race?" Dakota asked.

"You may, but I suggest only two of you do it at a time. If you want to race after we've driven once around the track, we'll all stop, and then two of you can pair up to race. I want the next group to wait until after the pair ahead of them has made the first turn before they start so that you won't interfere with each other. Why don't you go ahead and decide who is going to race whom."

"So how many more times are we gonna be able to do this?" Glen wanted to know before they decided whom they were going to race.

"I've paid for us to be here for thirty minutes, so you'll be able to do it multiple times before we leave."

"Then I want to race you first," Dakota quickly announced.

"And I want to race Paul," Laine followed.

"And that means Jamie and Glen can race if they want to. After that, you can challenge someone else."

Glen and Jamie agreed to race each other as well, so we told them they could go first after we made our dry run, then Laine and Paul would go next, while Dakota and I would go last. We all agreed to meet up again after we finished those races to decide who would race whom next.

Paul made sure he gave Glen and Jamie a good head start before he and Laine took off because Paul felt they might be driving faster than the other pair. Dakota and I did the same thing, and I was surprised when Dakota cut me off on the first turn. He still had a slight lead when we came to the first banked turn, and that's when I sped up and blew past him. He kept up with me the rest of the way, but I edged him out by a kart length when our race ended.

"I did pretty good, seeing you're used to drivin'," Dakota said when we finished.

It wasn't exactly what I expected to hear from him. I figured he would complain that I cheated or that I'd only beat him because I had more experience, so I thought I'd respond in kind.

"Yes, you did much better than I anticipated. I was very impressed."

"Thanks," he responded with a grin.

Jamie wanted to go against me next, so Glen raced Paul while Laine and Dakota faced off. I took it a little easier on Jamie, although I tried not to make it appear too obvious, and he was all smiles when we finished.

"I thought you were gonna beat me by a lot more than you did," he said after the race ended.

"You did really well. Both you and Dakota surprised me."

"It's prolly cuz you taught us how to ride the four-wheelers, so we aren't afraid to go fast."

"You might be right about that," I agreed.

I ended up racing Glen and Laine too, and before we finished, Paul and I faced off against each other. We were the very last pairing, so the boys watched and cheered us on as we went head-to-head. I soon discovered I was at a disadvantage this time, seeing Paul had gone through training at the police academy and learned some of the techniques used in high-speed chases. He beat me rather easily, so the boys tried to make me feel better when our race ended.

"That's ok, Dad. You did really good," Jamie told me.

"Yeah, we thought you were gonna beat him," Dakota added.

"I think you would've, but he got off to a fast start," Glen followed.

"Yeah, he's really good, cuz he beat all of us too," Laine concluded.

"I'm not upset and don't have a problem with Paul beating me, but that only goes for this. I kick his butt at everything else," I replied.

"Oh, so now I'm going to have to prove you're a liar in front of your sons," Paul shot back, "just not today."

We'd all had a good time doing this, but now it was time to load into the SUV so that I could take them to a nice restaurant for lunch. I forgot that since we were in the city that we'd be competing with the various employees from the local businesses on their lunch hour, so we had to wait a while before we were seated. After we ordered, the boys chatted about our time at the kart track.

"That was a blast. I hope we can do it again sometime," Glen stated.

"Yeah, me too," Dakota concurred.

"I'm just glad that I got to do this before I have to go back home," Laine added.

"And I almost beat Dad," Jamie announced proudly.

"Didn't everybody?" Paul teased. "You boys were a lot better at doing it than I thought you'd be."

"Yes, they surprised me as well," I concurred.

"We only did good cuz Dad lets us drive the four-wheelers at home," Jamie offered.

"Yeah, I think doin' that gave us a lot more confidence about drivin' the karts," Glen agreed.

"I'm not sure what caused you boys to do so well, but I think each of you could give my officers a run for their money on the karts," Paul added. His comment caused all of the boys to beam.

"Thanks for sayin' that," Dakota replied.

The boys stopped talking after our meals were delivered, and Paul and I had only managed to put away a little more than half of our lunch by the time they had finished. Paul just looked over at me and shook his head as the boys began to chat with each other again.

"Do they always eat this fast?" he asked, amazed.

"I'm not sure, but I think they were going a little slower than usual today," I quipped.

"Damn, then I hope you know the Heimlich maneuver because there will come a day when one of them is going to choke from eating so quickly. Do they even chew?"

"I believe they merely inhale their food, and I'm definitely up to date on my first aid skills."

After Paul and I finished eating, I drove him home, and we all thanked him for going with us.

"Thanks for helping Jamie with the DNA test and for telling me about the kart track," I said before he got out. "We all had a great time, and I'm glad you were able to join us."

"Yeah, thanks," the various boys added.

"You're welcome, and I hope I get to spend more time with all of you in the very near future," Paul responded as he got out of the SUV. He also waved at us before he went inside.

"Are we going home now, Dad?" Dakota asked as he moved up to the front seat again.

"No, I've got some other errands I want to run first."

"Like what?"

"You'll see," I responded, knowing it would drive him nuts.

"Why can't you ever just answer my question?" he whined.

"It's because I don't want to ruin the surprise."

I drove to the mall, and when I pulled into the parking lot, the boys all started asking what we were doing there.

"You'll see, so just follow me."

***

I took them to Barnes and Noble's first, and before we entered, I decided to explain why I'd brought them to this location. "Since you boys all seem to enjoy reading the books I bought you already, I'm going to let each of you pick out three more books that you want to read."

I then took them inside and allowed them to look around on their own, and after the others took off to check out the selection, Jamie asked me a question.

"Will you help me pick out my books?"

"Sure, if you want. What kinds of books might you interested in?"

"Ummm, I like stories about animals and stuff that's exciting."

"I see, so why don't you follow me and we'll see what we can find."

As we were looking around, I found a book I thought he might like and handed him a copy of The Yearling. "This is about a boy and his pet deer. I think you'll enjoy it."

"K, it sounds good."

A short time later, I found another book and handed it to him as well. "My Friend Flicka is about a boy and his horse, so do you think you might want to read it?"

"Yeah, that sounds good too, so let me get it."

Before I found him another book, Glen and Laine came over to speak with me.

"Can we get these?" Laine asked as he and Glen each held up a package containing a book series. Laine had the Lord of the Rings trilogy, while Glen was holding The Hunger Games series.

"Yes, of course. They each have three books, so why wouldn't I let you get them?"

"Oh, so these count as all three?" Glen countered.

"Yes, they have three books each, so does that mean you don't want to get them now?"

"No, but I wanted to get The Hobbit too?" Laine explained.

"And I saw another book I wanted to get?" Glen added.

"Which one?"

"The Catcher in the Rye."

"I'll tell you what, I was going to pick up a few more books for the house so I'll get those two and then you can read them as well. Go get a copy of each one and bring it back to me."

"Thanks, Dad," they both replied before running off.

I went back to looking for another book for Jamie when I spotted the perfect choice. I picked it up and handed it to him. "The Call of the Wild is about a dog, so now you have three books about animals – a deer, a horse, and a dog."

"Thanks, Dad. They all sound great."

Dakota came over while I was helping Jamie, but he waited until we finished chatting before he spoke.

"What do you think of these books, Dad?" He then showed me he had To Kill a Mockingbird, White Fang, and Treasure Island.

"They look like great choices. Was there any specific reason you chose those books?"

"Yeah, I heard about the first two books at school last year, cuz a couple of the other kids did book reports on them. We had to read a book and then tell the whole class about it, and I remembered they sounded interesting. I thought Treasure Island would be interesting too, cuz I like pirates."

"I'm sure you'll like each of them."

Besides having the copies of The Hobbit and Catcher in the Rye, I stopped to pick up a few other items before leaving. The first was The Chronicles of Narnia series, and then I grabbed a copy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Watership Down for anyone to read them, and then I led the boys to the checkouts.

"I'm going to have each of the boys put his books on the counter so you can ring them up," I explained to the cashier, "but I want you to bag them separately. That way, they can each carry their own books, and then I'll pay for everything."

She didn't have a problem doing this and gave each boy his bag after she rang up his selections, and then I gave her the books I had too. As soon as she'd rung it all up, I paid the bill with my Debit card. As we were walking out of the store, Laine spoke to me.

"Thanks for doing this for us, Dad, and I'll carry your bag for you."

"Ok, if you want to, because we have a couple more stops to make."

"Where are we going now?" Dakota immediately asked.

"You'll see," was my answer.

"Damn, you keep doin' that to me."

"Then be smart and stop asking," I snarkily replied.

I then took them back to the same clothing store where I'd purchased all of their other clothes. When we arrived, the boys looked at me funny.

"What are we doin' here?" Glen asked.

"We've been doing a lot of riding on the ATVs lately, and both you and your clothes are usually filthy afterward, so I want each of you to buy two more pairs of Dockers and two more long-sleeve tee-shirts. That way I won't have to rush to wash them before we go out again, because I think you're all about ready to go out without me once in a while."

"Really? We can ride anytime we want?" Dakota followed.

"Just check with me first, and if I say 'yes,' then you can go without me, but I never want you to ride alone. You must always have a buddy on the other four-wheeler, so if there's a problem there will be someone to help out or who can go for help."

"Yeah, we can do that," they all agreed.

After they picked out exactly what they wanted and I'd checked the sizes to make sure they hadn't made a mistake, I had them try them on before we headed to the checkouts. Once we finished up there, they were following me to the next store when I spotted something else they could use.

"Let's go in here, and you can each pick out a pair of flip-flops. They'll come in handy around the house and when you're walking down to the pond."

They all agreed, so after I paid for those items, I led them to our final stop so I could purchase a dozen more towels.

"Don't you already have a lot of towels?" Jamie asked.

"I had a sufficient quantity for when it was just me, or even for Dakota and me," I replied. "But now with all of you boys using them, we're going through the towels very quickly, so I thought I should buy a few more. I'll buy these in the same color and then I'll keep them in my bathroom. I'll split up the other towels and place them in the remaining two bathrooms so you'll have plenty to use as well."

They seemed fine with my answer, so once I paid for those items, we carried all of the bags out to the SUV and loaded them into the back. Now that we had everything, I just had to make another quick stop before we went home. This time I stopped at a gas station to fill up my diesel container again. I'd left it in the garage after I'd used it to fill the tractor the last time I mowed, and then I put it in the back of the SUV before we left. I filled it quickly and stuck it back in the SUV, and that completed the last item I had on my list, and we headed home.

Chapter 26
Things Are Falling Into Place

On the ride back to the house, the boys were telling each other about the books they'd chosen, so I used my time to plan ahead. It was also when I realized it was going to be well past dinnertime when we arrived at the house, and then I'd have to hurry to whip up something for them to eat. Since I knew the boys wouldn't be able to wait that long, I stopped at the diner that I'd taken Dakota to before. Not only would the boys be able to fill their bellies, but I wouldn't have to fix anything when we got home, so this was a win-win all the way around.

As soon as the boys were all full, which included dessert, we got back in the SUV, and I drove the rest of the way to the house. After I pulled into the garage, I asked the boys to take their clothes and the towels to the laundry room first, before they took their books and flip-flops up to their rooms. I also told them that they were on their own for the rest of the night, because I'd be busy doing other things. No one had a problem with this, and while they were busy doing other things, I took the diesel container out to the storage shed, where I kept the tractor and left it there. After doing that, I went into the house and cut the tags off the new items we'd just purchased, and then I started doing the laundry.

As soon as I put the first load into the washing machine, I headed upstairs to change into a pair of shorts and a tee-shirt. While I was up there, I discovered that Laine and Glen were reading the first book in the series they'd selected, which impressed me. When I went downstairs again, I found Dakota and Jamie watching TV, and they wanted me to join them, so I agreed. I had to get up every now and then so I could move the clothes from the washer to the dryer, and after the first load was done, I had to fold the clothes that I took out of the dryer.

I was able to finish washing each of those items before we went to bed, and I had Dakota and Jamie carry their clothes up to their room, while I took Glen and Laine's things up to them. I left the towels in the dryer overnight and planned to fold them in the morning.

After I gave Glen and Laine their clothes to put away, I decided to shower before I turned in. As soon as I'd adjusted the water and closed the door behind me, the door suddenly opened again, and four naked boys stepped in to join me.

"I know this is a large shower, but it's definitely going to be crowded in here with five of us at the same time."

"That's ok, but we wanted to pay you back for today," Laine replied.

"You don't have to do –," I started to answer, but Dakota managed to stop me from finishing my comment by placing his lips over mine and giving me a very erotic kiss.

As soon as he moved away, Glen and Laine started working on my nipples while Dakota knelt in front of me so that he could take my penis into his mouth.

"Spread your legs," Jamie demanded as he tried to push them apart.

When I did what he wanted, I felt him attacking my butt hole the same way I'd done to him on a couple of different occasions. I considered stopping the boys, but they already had me totally aroused, and I didn't want those wonderful feelings to end. Seeing I was already on total overload by this point, it didn't take nearly as long as usual for me to reach the boiling point. Just like a teakettle sitting on a hot burner, I was soon letting off steam, but in my case, it meant I fired my load into Dakota's waiting mouth, but he was the only one who let up when I ejaculated. Eventually, I had to ask the others to stop as well, but it took a while before I'd totally recovered from that incredible group effort.

As soon as they'd finished taking care of me, I took turns washing each of them, although I asked a couple of the boys to step out of the shower stall momentarily, so I had enough room to wash the others. When I'd washed each of them, we dried off, and then I had them all lay sideways on my bed so I could suck each of them off in return. It's a good thing they're still relatively young and have hair triggers, or I might have developed lockjaw before I was done, but in the end, I managed to enjoy four helpings of boy ambrosia.

Eventually, Laine and Glen returned to their rooms to sleep, while Jamie and Dakota wanted to spend the night with me, so I agreed to sleep in the middle. After we'd brushed our teeth and emptied our bladders, we all got into bed, and the boys put their heads on my chest and their arms across my belly as I wrapped an arm around each of them. It was a wonderful ending to an unusual but enjoyable day.

***

The following morning after breakfast, I told the boys that I needed to mow the lawn again, so they were on their own while I did it. They told me they were going to work with the education software while I was doing this since they figured they needed to double up today to make up for not doing it yesterday. I applauded them for being willing to do this, and then I headed outside.

I was surprised when I realized that Laine was behind me, so I confronted him and asked what he was doing. "Is there a reason you're following me?"

"Yeah, I was kinda hoping that since I watched you mow the lawn the last time, that you might let me try doing it today."

"Let me fill the tank first, and then I want to see how much you remember about the things I told you."

After I'd topped off the tank and checked the oil, I began questioning Laine about what each of the pedals was for. He answered all of my questions correctly, so I thought I might give him a chance to do this,

"Just let me pull it out of the shed, and then I'll let you give it a try."

I had left the mower deck attached, so it was ready to go, and after I pulled it out of the shed, I left the tractor running and put it in neutral so I could let him take over. His chest was swelled out with pride that I was willing to allow him to do this, and once he was ready, I made one final suggestion before I let him get started.

"Just go slow until you get comfortable with driving this, and I'll walk beside you in case you have a question or need help."

He was fine with this, so I watched as he started out. He had a slight problem adjusting his speed at first, but he eventually got the hang of it. When that happened, he started to gain more confidence as he made his way up and down the yard. At various times I told him he could go a little faster if he felt comfortable doing so, and before long, he was going nearly as fast as I did when I mowed the lawn. He was doing a very good job, so I let him continue, and he ended up mowing most of the yard. I merely took over when it was time to mow close to the house and around the pond because those areas were tricky. Laine didn't have a problem with this and was merely thrilled that I'd trusted him to do everything else.

"Thanks, Dad, that was fun," he told me when he was done.

"You did a great job and I'm very impressed."

"Thank you, so does this mean you'll let me do it again?"

"Absolutely, as long as you realize there are a few things you're not ready to do yet. I'll take the tractor out of the shed, do the same two areas that I did today, and then I'll put the tractor back in the shed afterward, but other than that, you can do everything else."

"I'm ok with that."

"I figured you would be."

***

When I'd taken care of the tractor, and we entered the house, I went to see what the other boys were up to. Jamie and Dakota were still on the computers, and Glen was in his room reading the first Hunger Games book.

"Is it as good as you thought it would be?" I asked Glen when I saw what he was up to.

"Yeah, and it tells a lot more stuff that wasn't in the movie."

"That's usually the case; seeing the movie can't include everything, or it would end up being two or three times longer."

After Laine washed up, he went to his room to read as well, and I felt he and Glen would probably get on the computers after lunch. That reminded me; I still needed to figure out what I was going to feed the troops today. After thinking about it for a brief time, I decided on fixing hot dogs, Kraft macaroni and cheese, and green beans for them, so I got everything out to do this.

I waited a little longer before I started fixing their lunch, and just before noon, I put a pan of water on the stove so I could boil the hot dogs, and then I put another pot of water on a different burner for the macaroni. I was making a double batch of macaroni and cheese since I knew the boys wouldn't be satisfied with just one batch. I put the green beans in the toaster oven to heat up, and it didn't take long before everything was ready.

I called the boys down to eat, and then the food disappeared in much less time than it took me to prepare the meal. When they finished, they helped to rinse off the dishes and load the dishwasher before they headed upstairs, and then I wiped down the table and the kitchen.

After I finished doing that, I remembered the towels were still in the dryer, so I went to fold them. I had just finished that task and put them in the linen closet in the master bathroom when my phone rang, and I answered it quickly.

***

"Eric, its Murray. I just received a copy of the advocate's report, and I wanted to let you know what it says. The advocate starts out by saying that she was uneasy about the idea of placing three teenage boys with a single man, but she changed her mind after doing the interviews."

"I'm certainly glad to hear that."

"I'm sure you are. She goes on to say that she was impressed with the various things the boys told her, as well as what she heard from you, but those things weren't what influenced her decision. She said that happened when she saw how the boys were interacting with you and how they had already bonded with you. She stated that she felt it would cause the boys irreparable mental and emotional anguish if the adoption process weren't allowed to go forward. She concludes by recommending to the court that it should grant you full parental rights and allow you to adopt all three boys. The court has scheduled this for a hearing on July 20th at 2:00."

"That's fantastic, but what about Jamie's situation?"

"Hopefully, we'll know the results of the DNA test by then, and if it's found that he's the son of the other man then he'll just be removed from the adoption proceeding. Even if that happens, you'll still be able to adopt the other two."

"I'm pleased to hear about the advocate's report and that a date has been set for the adoptions so I'll just pray the DNA test comes back negative."

"I'll email you a copy of the advocate's report so you can read it, and I'll let you know about the DNA test as soon as I hear something. Just maintain a positive attitude about this, because everything has gone the way you wanted so far, and with a little luck, this trend will continue."

"I hope you're right about that, and thank you for everything you've done for us, including sharing this information with me."

"You're welcome, but as I told you before, I'm only doing what you're paying me for."

As soon as the call ended, I went to share the good news with the boys. I called them all together in Dakota's room to do it.

"I just got off the phone with my lawyer, and he had some good news. He just received the advocate's report, and she recommends in favor of the adoptions, so the court has set a date for July 20th."

While Dakota and Glen were cheering, I noticed Jamie wasn't quite as excited as they were. "What about me? Will we know if you can adopt me by then?"

"My lawyer says the results from the DNA test should be back by then."

"So what if the other guy is my dad?"

"We'll try to work something out with him about keeping in touch with you if that's the case, but if he's your biological father, then I won't be able to adopt you. However, we're planning that won't be the case and I'll be able to adopt all of you at the same time."

"I hope that's what happens, cuz I really want you to be my dad."

"And I want that as well." He didn't seem to perk up as much as I hoped, so I decided to do something else. "How would you like to spend some time with me for a while?"

"Yeah, I'd like that."

I put my arm around his shoulder, and we headed downstairs, and as we were walking down the steps, I asked him a question. "What would you like to do?"

"I just want to sit with you."

"Would you like to watch TV while we're doing that?"

"Yeah, that sounds good."

We then went to the family room, and I turned on the TV. I sat on the sofa, pulled Jamie onto my lap, and handed him the remote. "I'll let you choose what we watch."

"Ok, and thanks for doing this with me."

I don't think he was really into watching what was on the screen, even though he'd selected a channel with cartoons. He just leaned back against my chest and sighed, so I wrapped my arms around him and kissed the top of his head. We sat like that for about ten minutes before he turned toward me and spoke.

"Would you suck my cock again?"

"Will it help make you feel better?"

"Yeah, it will." He grinned after answering my question because he knew I was going to give in.

"Ok, slide over and sit beside me so that I can do it for you."

He did it in a flash, along with removing his shorts and briefs, so I knelt on the floor between his legs to help him out. His little soldier was already standing at attention just from knowing what I was going to do, so I knew it wasn't going to take very much to help him get off. I had him spread his legs a little wider so I could attack his scrotum first, and after I used my tongue and mouth to toy with that area, I grabbed his legs and lifted them so I could attack his little butt next.

"Ohhh, I like it when you do this too," he said when he realized what was coming.

I didn't respond and merely used my tongue to lick around the wrinkled opening and teased his pucker while he sighed and cooed in appreciation. After letting my tongue dart in and out of his resilient ring for a couple of minutes, I moved higher and began to fulfill his request. After running my tongue around the shaft, I lapped up the juices that were leaking from the tiny slit, and then I opened my mouth and lowered it around his throbbing penis.

I immediately began to bob up and down on it, which caused Jamie to moan, and he began thrusting his hips as he placed his hands on my scalp. He wasn't guiding my movements and was merely resting his hands there, and I moved one of my hands under my chest so I could manipulate his scrotum with my fingers at the same time.

It only took a couple of minutes of this frantic action before I heard him grunt, just as the first strand of his boy nectar blasted into my mouth. A couple more eruptions followed that before he started to calm down, and then he melted into the sofa as he was enjoying the wonderful feelings his orgasm had produced.

As soon as I'd drained the final drops from his penis, it began to wilt, so I got up and took my seat beside him on the sofa while I waited for him to recover. As soon as that happened, he spun toward me and leaped upon his knees so he could kiss me. He even prodded my lips with his tongue, so I parted them slightly and allowed my tongue to tango with his. We continued doing this for a little while longer, and when he finally pulled away, he spoke.

"Thanks, Dad. That helped a lot, and I'm really gonna miss havin' you do that for me if the other guy is my dad."

"I'm going to miss your cute little dick too, but we still might be able to get together once in a while, even if he is your biological father."

"I hope he isn't, but I'm glad we still might be able to do this even if he is my dad."

I had him put his briefs and shorts back on, and then I pulled him onto my lap again. This time he actually watched the cartoons as I held him, and it was nice to hear him giggle once in a while as he enjoyed the show.

I stayed with Jamie until it was time to fix dinner, and since I was going to prepare something for him to eat as well, he didn't argue about me leaving. I was in the middle of doing this when Dakota came rushing downstairs.

"Have you seen Jamie?" he asked. "I thought he was in his room readin', but he's not there."

"Yes, he came down here with me, and we watched TV together. He's still in the family room, so you can go join him if you want."

"I just wondered where he was. I thought he might have been upset since he knew me and Glen were gonna be adopted, but he wasn't sure yet, cuz of that other guy."

"Yes, he was upset, and that's why I sat down with him so I could give him a little loving."

"What did you do? Did you just hold him, or did you suck him off again?"

"I did both of those things and he's in a little better mood now."

"Ok and I'll go spend some time with him too. I'll even ask him to sleep with us again tonight."

I was mildly shocked that he wasn't upset after I'd told him what I'd done with Jamie. "That's very generous of you and I'm sure he'll enjoy it."

"Yeah, and we'll put him in the middle this time so we can both cuddle with him."

"Ok, that sounds like a great idea."

As soon as he took off, I went back to working on dinner, and when it was ready, I called the boys to eat. As soon as we were all sitting around the table, Glen asked a question.

"Did you really let Laine drive the tractor and mow the lawn today?"

"Yes, I did. He stayed outside with me the last time and watched everything I did, so when he asked if he could drive, I quizzed him about the things we'd gone over the last time. Once he answered my questions, I let him give it a try and he did an excellent job."

"I stayed out with you the last time too, so can I drive the tractor the next time you're going to mow the lawn?"

"The thing is you didn't actually stay out with us the last time. You got bored and went inside, but Laine stayed outside and observed my actions while I was mowing the lawn. He also asked a bunch of questions about what I was doing, so I explained how to operate the tractor."

"So, next time, you can explain everything to me."

"It's not that simple. You'll have to watch what I'm doing first, so when I explain it to you, it will make more sense. Then the next time I mow the lawn, I'll quiz you first, and if you get everything right, then I may let you try doing it as well."

"Damn, summer will be over by then."

"I'll still have to mow the lawn in the early fall too so that you could do it then. You'll be here next summer as well, but it's the only way I'm going to let you try doing it."

"Let me think about it then."

"Ok, I'll leave it up to you."

"Is it the same for me too?" Dakota followed.

"Yes, it's the same for everyone. The tractor is very different from every other vehicle you've driven so far, and it's the only way I'll feel comfortable letting you drive it, so I leave it up to each of you if you want to do this."

"Yeah, I do cuz Laine won't be here next summer," Dakota confirmed.

"I might be here for some of it, cuz I'm gonna ask my parents if I can come back to visit," Laine responded.

"Ok, but I still want to do it too," Dakota stated.

"Me too," Glen chimed in. Obviously, Dakota's decision to do this had prompted Glen to make up his mind.

"Then I'll let both of you know the next time I'm planning to mow the lawn."

"But I thought you were gonna let me mow the yard again," Laine protested.

"Ok, then I can stand with these two, and they can watch what you're doing while I explain it to them."

"Ok, thanks," Laine confirmed.

***

After dinner, the boys wanted to go swimming again, but I made them wait an appropriate amount of time before I let them change into their swimsuits and put on their flip-flops. I slipped on a pair of open-toed sandals before we walked down to the pond, and when we got there, we took off our footwear before leaping into the water. Jamie went last and waited for me to tell him I was ready to catch him before he jumped in, but he wasn't as hesitant about doing it this time.

I kept an eye on him, and he swam beside me the entire time, and occasionally I would glance over to see how Dakota was doing as well. He appeared to have gained a great deal of confidence in his ability and seemed to be having a good time with the other two, so I went back to watching Jamie. We spent a little over an hour in the pond before the light began to fade like the sunset behind the trees, so we all scrambled up the ladders, put on our footwear, and headed back to the house.

"Thanks, that was fun," Jamie said during the walk.

"Yeah, it was great," Laine agreed.

"I feel a lot better about bein' able to swim now," Dakota added.

"Does this mean we don't have to shower tonight," Glen followed, "cuz we kinda got clean in the pond?"

"I don't think I'd go as far as to say you got clean, but if you want to skip your shower tonight, then it's ok with me."

Even if the boys skipped their shower, I was still going to take one, so a little later, I headed up to my bathroom. As I was adjusting the water, I heard footsteps behind me and suspected it might be Dakota and Jaime. When I turned around, I was surprised to see Laine with them too.

"We want to shower with you again," Jamie stated.

"Yeah, we're not like Glen," Dakota added.

"Ok, but just to shower this time," I added.

"Can we all do it together?" Laine followed.

"It will be a little tight, but I think we can manage."

"Great," they all replied as they followed me inside.

After we finished washing each other, meaning three of us helped to wash the other person; we got out of the shower and dried off. Jamie and Dakota went out and sat on my bed as they waited for me, and before he left, Laine had something he wanted to tell me.

"Thanks for lettin' us do this with you tonight, and thank you for lettin' me drive the tractor earlier. I'm gonna miss you guys when I have to go home."

"We're going to miss you as well."

"Not as much as I'll miss you. I love my parents, and I want to see my brother again, but I'm gonna miss drivin' the four-wheelers and havin' sex with all of you too."

"We'll keep in touch, and hopefully your parents will let you come back next summer to spend more time with us."

"Yeah, I'd really like that."

He then moved closer so he could hug me, and I was happy to hug him in return. When we finally broke our embrace, he went over to his room, and I got into bed with the other two. They were already waiting for me, with Jamie in the middle, so I got in beside him. I rolled onto my side and draped my arm across his chest, so it was resting against Dakota's arm as well, since he had his arm draped across Jamie's midsection, and that's the way we fell asleep.

The following day was pretty low key. The boys spent the mornings working with the educational software and reading their books, and in the afternoon, we went out on the ATVs and took a dip in the pond before dinner.

The next day started out the same way, but before we headed out on the ATVs, my phone rang.

"Eric, its Murray. I just got the results of the DNA test."

Chapter 27
The Final Hurdle

"The DNA results are back? What's the verdict?" I screamed into the phone in my excitement.

"It wasn't a match with the potential father, so you're still able to adopt James Palmer as well."

"That's fantastic! Thank you very much for giving me this incredible news."

"I'm glad it worked out the way you wanted."

As soon as we ended the call, I ran upstairs to tell the boys. They had just gone up to change so we could go out on the four-wheelers, but I stopped what they were doing.

"I want you boys to come here quickly, because there's something I'd like to tell you," I yelled, and a couple of seconds later they were all walking out into the hallway to join me. "I just got off the phone with my lawyer, and he informed me the DNA results are back. It wasn't a match, and the guy isn't Jamie's dad so that I can adopt Jamie as well."

The boys all started cheering and dancing around, and then Jamie ran toward me, leaped into the air, and wrapped his arms around my neck and his legs wrapped around my waist. Luckily, I was prepared for something like this to happen, so not only didn't he knock me backward, but I was able to catch him as well.

"You're gonna be my dad now, and I don't have to leave," he said, as he energetically squeezed my neck and insides. When he pulled back so I could see his face, I noticed tears were streaming down his cheeks.

"See, I told you not to worry. We're going to become a real family in just a few more days."

The boys no longer wanted to go out on the ATVs and chose to celebrate instead. After they went back to their rooms to change into their shorts again, we went downstairs, and I immediately took the ice cream out of the freezer and scooped out a bowl for each of us. As I was doing this, the boys went to grab a can of soda out of the fridge and then we sat down at the table to enjoy our treat. It was a treat too because I put chocolate syrup and sprinkles on the ice cream and the soda was a treat as well because I didn't let them drink soda daily. I felt it was bad for their teeth and overall health, so most of the time, they drank water, milk, juice, lemonade, ice tea, or Kool-Aid, and I always made the last three items using Splenda, not sugar.

"Damn, I'm really glad for you Jamie," Laine began, "but now I'm sorry that I won't be part of this family too."

"You'll always be part of our family, even if you don't live here full time," I responded. "You'll always be their brother and my son, and I'll always be your other dad."

"Yeah, I know that, but it's not the same. I just hope my parents will let me come back here next summer."

"Yeah, we hope they do too," Dakota confirmed.

"Dad, do you think maybe I could bring my brother with me if I came back here next summer? I know he'd enjoy hanging out with the rest of you too."

"I don't see why not. How old is he?"

"He's eleven."

"Then he's old enough, but I'm wondering how he's going to react to some of the things you boys do."

"Like what?" Laine asked since he failed to notice the elephant in the room.

"Like the sex, the nudity, and you boys showering with me."

"I don't think us bein' naked or showerin' with you will bother Caleb at all. We hafta share a bedroom at home, cuz we live in a two-family house, and our side only has two bedrooms, so we've seen each other naked plenty of times. Me and Caleb even took baths together when we was younger, and he didn't have a problem doin' it, so I don't think that stuff will bother him."

"Yes, but that might have been because you are brothers. He might not feel the same way about the other boys seeing him naked."

"Yeah, I know, but I still don't think he'll mind. I caught him and some of his friends naked in our bedroom before. They didn't think I was gonna be home, so they were really shocked when I walked in on them."

"Didn't they lock the door?"

"Nah, they thought they was home alone, cuz our mom had gone to the grocery store, and I think they might have been messin' around too."

"You mean they was havin' sex?" Jamie asked.

"Nah, just touchin' each other's dicks and checkin' them out."

"Do you think your brother is gay?" Glen followed.

"I think he might be like me and doesn't mind havin' fun with boys or girls, cuz I know he's had a crush on a couple of girls too."

"Ok, then I guess he can come here with you, as long as your parents don't mind, and he agrees not to tell them about the nudity and sex."

"I don't think my mom and dad will have a problem with him comin' with me, cuz they both work. If I wasn't there to watch him, then they'd have to pay somebody to do it, but they won't need to do it if he comes here with me."

"So, you mean they're paying somebody to watch him now?"

"I'm sure they wasn't while my dad was out of work, but I don't know what they're doin' now that my dad's got another job."

"Ok, then I'll plan on him coming here with you, as long as it's ok with your parents."

After the boys finished their ice cream and soda, they decided to watch a movie next. They asked me to join them, but I politely declined.

"I'd love to, but there's something else I need to do first. I'll join you just as soon as I've finished."

After the boys headed to the family room, I went up to my room, shut the door, and locked it. I then made several phone calls as I tried to arrange a little surprise for them. It wasn't easy to pull this off, and I had to call in a few favors to make it happen, but eventually all of the pieces started to fall into place. However, it had taken me so long to do it that the movie was more than half over by the time I returned to join them again.

"What took you so long?" Dakota demanded.

"I ran into a few problems, so it took me longer than I'd anticipated."

"So, what were you doing?" Glen wanted to know.

"It was something I needed to take care of, but nothing that you need to know about."

"Damn, why can't you ever just answer our questions," Dakota groaned.

"I do most of the time, but you don't need to know everything I do, so get used to it."

"Yeah, quit buggin' him," Laine interjected. "He does lots of stuff for us, and we don't need to know everything if he doesn't want us to."

"Yeah, ok," Dakota relented.

Fortunately, most of our discussion had taken place during a commercial, so I sat down on the sofa to watch the rest of the movie with them. Dakota was on my left, Glen on my right, Jamie on my lap, and Laine was sitting on the floor between my legs. During the next commercial, I decided to mention something else I'd just thought of.

"Laine, if your brother comes here with you next summer, then where is he going to sit?" The boys all looked at me for a few seconds before anyone responded.

"He can have my place if he wants to sit next to you," Glen offered.

"That's very generous and grown-up of you."

"Yeah, but I'll be older, and he should be with you cuz he's younger."

"Yeah, me and Glen will sit in the chairs and the rest of you can sit together," Laine concurred.

"I'm glad you boys are acting so mature, but we don't even know if Laine's brother will want to do that."

"Oh, I think he will," Laine confessed. "He's always tryin' to get my dad's attention, so he'll prob'ly do the same thing with you."

"Ok, if it's what he wants," I agreed, and then we went back to watching the end of the movie, seeing this problem had been solved.

***

When the movie ended, the boys decided that they wanted to go for a swim, so I agreed to do it with them. We all went up to our rooms to put on our swimsuits, and then we walked down to the pond. This time Jamie jumped in at the same time I did, and this proved to me that he was gaining confidence in his ability, but only as long as I was nearby. It was definitely a step in the right direction.

After being in the water for an hour and a half, we eventually agreed it was time to get out, and as we were walking to the house, I decided to mention something to them.

"I want you to shower quickly and then dress in something nice because I'm going to take you out to dinner."

"How come?" Glen asked.

"Let's just say it's a celebratory dinner in recognition of today's good news. Besides, if I take you out to eat, then I won't have to spend time working over a hot stove or oven."

They all agreed to do as I asked, and Dakota and Jaime showered with me, while Glen and Laine each used one of the other bathrooms. As soon as we were all dressed, we hopped into the SUV, and that's when I asked my next question.

"How would you like to go to my favorite steakhouse tonight?"

"Does that mean we're gonna have steak?" Jamie asked.

"Yes, because I thought you'd all enjoy it. Don't you like steak?"

"I don't know if I like it, cuz I've never had steak before."

"Me neither," Dakota confessed, "cuz my stepdad never wanted to spend that much money on steaks. My mom would ask him if she could buy some once in a while, and he would never let her. He'd just say hamburger meat is close enough to steak and good enough for us."

"I see, and if you like hamburgers, then you'll probably love steak. Don't worry about never having it before, because I'll help you pick out a steak that you'll like."

They seemed fine with this, seeing I'd just solved any problems they might have had, so I drove to the steakhouse, and we went inside. We had a slight wait before we were seated, and once we were taken to a table, we ordered our drinks first, and I ordered an appetizer for all of us to share. I then suggested to Jamie and Dakota about what they should have to eat.

"I think you'll enjoy the rib eye, strip steak, or the filet mignon, so I suggest you order one of those."

"What's the difference?" Jamie asked.

"It's basically about where on the cow the particular cut comes from, but they're all very good."

"What are you gonna have?" Dakota countered.

"I'm going to have the filet mignon."

The boys quickly looked at the menu, and then their mouths dropped open. "But that's expensive," Dakota gasped.

"Don't worry about the price, because this is a celebration. In fact, I think we should all order that."

"Are you sure, cuz we'll be fine with one of the other steaks," Laine countered.

"If you don't mind, I'd really like to order the filet mignon for each of us, and I think you'll really enjoy it." After chatting amongst themselves briefly, they finally agreed. "That's great, and now I just need to help you decide on how you want it cooked. I know this won't apply to Dakota and Jamie, seeing they've never had steak before, but have either of you ever had your steak cooked, so it was still red or pink in the middle?"

"Nah, my mom said it wasn't good for us to eat it that way," Glen answered.

"I don't think I've ever eaten it that way either, but I'm willing to try it like that if it's how you like it."

"If you've never eaten it that way before, I think you should have your steak cooked a little more than what I do. I like my steak medium-rare, which means it's warm and pink in the center with a little red, but I think you should order your steaks medium, so it's only slightly pink in the middle."

"Ok, I'll do that," Laine agreed.

"Yeah, me too," Glen concurred.

"How about you two," I asked Jamie and Dakota. "Would you like to try it slightly pink in the middle or brown all the way through?"

"Brown," they both agreed.

We then talked about the type of potato they wanted with it, and Laine and I opted for the baked potato while the other three went with mashed potatoes, and we all had a salad to go with it. I let the boys tell the server which dressing they wanted on their salad, and then I let the server know that one of the steaks with the baked potato was to be medium-rare while the other was medium. I followed that up by letting her know that one of the steaks with the mashed potatoes was medium, while the other two were medium-well.

Once that had been decided, each of the boys grabbed a roll and one of the mozzarella sticks that I'd ordered. We enjoyed those items, and they tided us over until our entrees were served, and then I had the boys cut their steaks in half to make sure they were done the way they wanted. As soon as everyone was satisfied, we began to eat.

"Man, I've never had a steak this tender before," Laine announced.

"It's one of the best cuts you can order, and some people claim it's the very best. Other people like one of the other steaks better, but this is definitely my favorite."

"Yeah, it's really good," they all agreed.

When we finished eating, I had the boys order their desserts to go, since we all needed to let our meals settle first. After talking it over, the boys decided they wanted to share desserts so that they could enjoy more than one. Dakota and Jaime ordered chocolate cake and banana cream pie to share, Laine and Glen chose the chocolate cake and apple strudel to split, while I opted for the cheesecake. I paid the bill while we were waiting for the desserts to arrive, and then we carried them out to the SUV so we could enjoy them at home.

When we got back to the house, we changed into something a little more comfortable first, and then we sat around and chatted about our meal.

"That steak was excellent. Thank you for taking us there and buying it for us," Laine began.

"Yeah, that was really good," Jamie added. "I'm glad you made me try it."

"I'm glad I did too, especially since you enjoyed it."

"After seein' the prices on the menu, I know why my stepdad never wanted to let my mom buy steaks for us," Dakota confessed.

"Yes, they're definitely more expensive than buying hamburger," I replied, "but the prices are a lot cheaper in the grocery stores than they were on the menu. It's much cheaper to buy them at the store and then cook them at home."

"Then we shoulda done that," Glen offered.

"Not this time, because today was a celebration and a special treat, but I will definitely buy steaks we can cook here as well, now that I know how much you all like steak."

"So, what are we gonna do tomorrow?" Dakota followed.

"I'm not sure yet, but I'll be spending some time over the next few days getting things ready for the adoption, and I want to make sure you all pick out something nice to wear to the ceremony. I want you to look really good in court so you'll impress the judge. I don't want him to change his mind about letting us do this because he thinks I'm not taking good care of you."

"He wouldn't do that, would he?" Glen challenged.

"He might, if he thought I wasn't a responsible parent, and I don't want to take that chance."

"We don't either," Jamie confirmed.

"So, what else can we do?" Dakota pressed. "Are we gonna ride on the four-wheelers again?"

"I think it would be wiser to wait until after the ceremony before we do that again. I don't want to take the chance that any of you might get injured and then wind up appearing in court wearing bandages or a cast."

"Yeah, that wouldn't be good," Laine agreed.

"So, what are we gonna do instead?" Glen asked next.

"You could always double up on the time you spend working with the educational software and reading, seeing you won't have time to do it while we're in court. We can also go swimming, and I could order an on-demand movie for us to watch."

"What's the difference between that and the movies we usually watch on TV?" Jamie asked.

"On-demand movies are newer releases that haven't been shown on TV before."

"Oh, ok. That sounds good."

"So, what are we gonna do after we get adopted?" Dakota pressed.

"I have a couple of ideas, but I need to think about them a little more before I make up my mind."

"What are the choices?" Glen followed.

"I'd rather not tell you yet, because it would ruin the surprise."

"I knew you were gonna say that," Dakota shot back.

"What's the matter? Don't you boys like surprises?" I challenged.

"Yeah, but it can be frustratin' too," Dakota replied.

"But isn't it usually worth it in the end?"

"Yeah, I guess so," they all confessed.

"Then quit your complaining and learn to have a little patience. I promise you won't be disappointed."

"Ok, if you say so," Jamie concurred.

"So, can we do something fun now?" Glen asked next.

"It depends. What do you have in mind?"

"Can we have sex? I haven't done nothin' with you in a few days."

"What exactly are you asking me to do?"

"Uhhh, would you fuck us?"

"There's no way I can do that with all of you."

"Then just do it to me."

I glanced over at Dakota quickly to see how he was reacting to this. He had a scowl on his face, but when he saw me looking at him, his expression changed, and he merely shrugged his shoulders. A few seconds later, it changed again and nodded in resignation just before Laine spoke.

"Dad, have you ever had someone fuck you before?"

"I have, but I've haven't had it done to me in a few years."

"Would you let me fuck you while you're fuckin' Glen?"

I looked over at Dakota again before I answered Laine, and I was surprised when he responded verbally this time.

"Yeah, go ahead, and then you can suck me and Jamie off afterward, but I want you to make love to me tomorrow night."

"Jamie, are you ok with this too?"

"Yeah, cuz I like it when you do that to me."

"Ok, then we can do what you want, but Laine, you'll have to take it easy on me and go slow, because I haven't done this in quite a while."

"Yeah, ok. I will."

"Can we do it in your shower again?" Glen asked next.

"Yeah, let's do it in there," Laine concurred.

"Rather than in my bed?" I countered.

"Yeah," they both agreed.

"Ok," I relented.

"Me and Jamie will shower in one of the other bathrooms while you're doin' that then," Dakota added. "That way, we'll be nice and clean when you suck us off."

It seemed as if everyone was satisfied with this arrangement, but I stopped to grab something out of my nightstand before I followed Laine and Glen into the master bathroom. After I'd adjusted the water, we stepped into the shower and got ready to begin.

"Laine, here is some lube to use on your dick, and I'll apply some to my hole, and then I want you to enter me first, but take your time. As soon as you're in me, Glen can help me get an erection before I lube up my penis, and then I'll enter him. I'll do all of the work from the middle and you two can just enjoy."

Laine was true to his word and took it easy, but I still experienced a little pain because his penis was almost as thick as mine, and it had been a long time since I'd last done this. As soon as he'd entered me and I got used to the intrusion, Glen helped me get hard, and then I pulled him toward me so I could penetrate him. I then pulled nearly all the way out of Glen again before we got started.

"When I thrust into Glen, I'll pull off of your dick, and then I'll back into it again when I'm pulling out of him."

"I know how it works cuz we've done it with each other before."

"Oh, right. I guess I forgot about that since I wasn't in the middle then."

We then got into a good rhythm, and I suddenly had flashbacks of when I'd done something similar when I was in college. It was quite a while ago, and I only did it a few times because I was the odd man out. The other two were a couple, and they'd invited me to join them, which I was happy to do. I wasn't with anyone at the time and was having to take care of my own sexual needs, so it was a welcome change of pace. I usually ended up in the middle, because one guy was a definite top while the other one was primarily a bottom, but I didn't mind. It was a nice change from masturbating, and it gave my hand a rest.

***

As soon as Laine and I had both ejaculated, and Laine had jerked off Glen as well, we pulled out and washed up. I then went out to the bedroom to join Jamie and Dakota while the other two went to their rooms. Jamie and Dakota were both waiting on my bed, and they were kissing as we emerged from the bathroom.

"Are you two having fun?" I asked when I saw them.

"Yeah, we just thought it would help us get ready for when you came out to do this," Dakota responded. "You're not mad, are you?"

"No, I'm not mad at all. In fact, it's nice to see that you boys are getting along so well. So who's going first?"

"Jamie. He doesn't take as long as I do."

"Actually, neither of you take very long, nor I expect tonight will be any different, especially since you've been swapping spit for a while."

"Ewww, why did you say it like that?" Dakota demanded.

"If you were using your tongues when kissing, then I'm sure some saliva was exchanged as well."

"Damn, that makes it sound gross."

"Did you enjoy kissing each other?" They both nodded. "Then get over it, because it's just part of kissing that way."

I then sucked Jamie off before doing the same thing to Dakota, and it was like visiting a couple of old friends. I did this so often with them that I knew every millimeter of their penises, as well as the wonderful flavor of their ejaculate.

Once I'd taken care of each of them, we brushed our teeth and used the toilet, and then they made me get in the middle. As soon as I was in position, they got in beside me, placed their heads on my shoulders, and I wrapped an arm around each one. We fell asleep and remained in that position all night long. I always seem to sleep really well whenever we did this, and even though I never thought it would be possible since I'm a side-sleeper, I'm definitely starting to get used to sleeping on my back now.

Chapter 28
Much to Do

When I woke up the following morning, both boys still had their heads on my chest and their arms draped across my body, so I merely laid there for a while and glanced from one to the other. They were both adorable and reminded me of two angels as I studied their features, and I was grateful things had worked out in our favor, so we were now going to be a family.

I delayed getting out of bed because I didn't want to wake them, but my bladder was getting more and more insistent, and I knew I couldn't hold off much longer. Eventually, I had to give in to the physical demands and attempted to slip out of bed, but both boys woke up as I was doing so.

"Are you getting up?" Dakota mumbled, only partially awake.

"I was going to go to the toilet first, and then I figured I'd head down to the kitchen to get things ready for breakfast."

"Ok, then I'll help ya."

"Me too," another groggy voice muttered.

"You boys can stay in bed a little longer if you want, and I'll call you when I'm ready to make breakfast."

"Nah, I want to stay with you," Dakota responded.

"Yeah, me too," Jamie concurred.

We then got out of bed, emptied our bladders, and washed up quickly before heading downstairs. The boys were helping me get things out to fix breakfast, and a few minutes later, the other two came stumbling down the stairs.

"Is breakfast ready yet?" Glen asked as he yawned.

"I'm just starting to fix it now."

"K, I'm hungry," he grumbled in response.

"You're always hungry, and it will be ready soon."

I made sure to get things prepared as quickly as possible and asked Jamie to set the table while Dakota poured our drinks. A couple of minutes later, I carried the food to the table.

"Dig in. I can always make more if this isn't enough."

The boys immediately began filling their plates and then shoveled the food into their mouths, but Jamie took a second to ask me a question in between mouthfuls.

"If that guy thought he was my dad, it means he and my mom was havin' sex, doesn't it?"

"Yes, adults tend to do that too."

"But if he's not my dad, then it means my mom was havin' sex with someone else."

"Yes, I suppose it does."

"And what if he finds out about me? Will he want me to come live with him?"

"Honestly, I don't know, and we can't even be sure he's alive or that he would want to be a dad. Some men like having sex but don't want to be a parent."

"But what if he does? Will I have to go live with him?"

"You're going to be my son in two more days legally, and once that happens, I think I'll have a greater claim on keeping you than I did with this other guy."

"So, he won't be able to take me?"

"I think we might possibly have to allow him visitation rights, but I believe the judge will take your feelings into consideration if he tries to claim you."

"Then why didn't they just do that this time?"

"Because this time I was only the guy who had custody of you and you were living with, but I will legally be your dad in two more days, so it will give me greater standing if another man shows up claiming to be your father."

"K, I hope so, cuz I wanna stay here with you."

"I'll do everything in my power to make sure that happens because I want you to stay here as well."

That ended our discussion and I hoped it had put Jamie's mind at ease. To tell the truth, I had come to those same conclusions before Jamie brought them up and I'd reached a few conclusions of my own. First of all, Jamie's mom may have informed the biological father when she first discovered she was pregnant, and he simply chose to walk away. She may have also decided that she didn't want the guy in her or her son's lives and never told him.

There's also the possibility that something had happened to the man in the interim, and he's no longer alive. He could have died in an automobile accident, been a victim of random violence, such as a shooting, or he might have joined the military and been killed while on duty. We have no way of knowing who he was or why he had never been part of Jamie's life, but there is a myriad of possibilities to explain his absence, some of which I just listed. No matter the reason why Jamie's biological father has not been part of his life, I'm just as happy to let sleeping dogs lie.

Now that we were done with breakfast, the boys helped to rinse off the dishes and put them in the dishwasher while I was taking care of the items I'd used to prepare everything. Once that had been taken care of, Laine asked a question.

"So, what are we gonna do today?"

"First of all, you boys still have to work on the computer," I reminded him.

"Yeah, but can't we do somethin' else first?"

"Possibly, so what do you have in mind?"

"Will you take us on another walk into the woods, but this time where I walked into the government land with Dakota and Glen before?"

"Yes, I suppose we could do that before it gets really hot out."

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

Since the boys wanted to go on another walk in the woods, we got dressed and prepared to head out. I made sure they each took a bottle of water with them because it was already warm out. It was a bit of a hike just to get from the house to the spot where we would enter the government land, and before we went into the woods, I reminded the boys of a few things. I advised them to stay together, remain quiet, and to be on the lookout for wildlife and other things, and then I led them farther onto the government land.

"I think I see someone else in the woods over there," Glen stated as he pointed ahead of us and slightly to the left.

"Yes, there appears to be a couple of women in here as well," I confirmed.

"What are they doin'?" Jamie asked.

"It looks as if they're collecting items off the ground, possibly for some sort of arts and crafts project."

"Where did they come from?" Dakota followed.

"They probably parked their car along the road and then walked into here."

"You mean the road that we live on?" Jamie asked.

"Yes, there are places where you can pull a vehicle off the road and leave it temporarily."

The women didn't bother us, and it's possible they didn't even notice us either, but I veered slightly to our right so we wouldn't interfere with whatever they were doing. It also made me wonder if there were others in this area as well, so I asked the boys to keep their eyes open for that possibility. I was also glancing up in the trees to see if I could spot more tree stands or other items, but all I noticed were a few squirrels racing across the various branches. We spent nearly two hours walking around on the government land, and it was starting to get very hot out, so I told the boys it was time to head back.

"How come we didn't see any deer this time?" Jamie wanted to know.

"We may have been making too much noise and scared them off or possibly because there is no water source around here. It could also be because this area is frequented by more nature lovers and others, such as the two women we saw earlier, so the animals may have gone deeper into the woods."

"I didn't see any of the tree stands around here either," Glen pointed out.

"I didn't either and that might be due to similar reasons. Since other people often wander around this area, the deer and other animals tend to live deeper in the woods, so that's where the hunters would need to go."

When we eventually got back to the house, we all grabbed another drink because we'd all drained our water bottles on the hike. The boys and I then headed upstairs to take a quick shower because we had been sweating profusely during our little adventure. Once again, Jamie and Dakota wanted to shower with me, even though I'd warned them that it would be a cold shower this time. They didn't seem to grasp the significance of this fact when they agreed to it, but the cold water definitely kept either of them from sprouting wood and then pestering me to suck them off.

Glen and Laine had used the other bathrooms, and once we had all finished washing up and drying off, the boys got on the computers while I did other things. One of the things I did was to start thinking about lunch because I knew the boys would be hungry by the time the first couple of them were done working with the educational software.

After we ate lunch, the boys went upstairs again so the final pair could work on the computers. When they finished doing that, they came downstairs again and asked a question.

"Can we go swimming now?"

"Sure, we can do that. Let's go upstairs and put on our swimsuits, and don't forget to grab the towel you used after you showered last night."

"Ok, we'll bring those too."

Once we were all ready, we left our towels on the porch before heading down to the pond. As soon as we arrived there, the boys kicked off their flip-flops, raced down the dock, and jumped into the water. Jamie and Dakota were right behind Laine and Glen and didn't wait for me this time since they were both gaining confidence in their ability. I was a bit more reserved and walked down the dock before I jumped into the pond with them.

"I'm glad you taught me how to swim, cuz this is fun," Jamie told me shortly after I hit the water.

"Yes, you're doing very well and I'm very proud of you."

"Yeah, I'm not scared of bein' in the water anymore."

"I noticed because you didn't wait for me this time."

"Yeah, I don't gotta do that no more, but I won't go swimmin' if you're not here with us."

"That's a wise precaution, but I'm glad you're feeling more confident about doing this."

We stayed in the water for about an hour and a half, and when we got out, the boys walked with me back to the house.

"Man, it feels like we've been livin' here with you forever," Glen observed.

"Yeah, it's hard to remember when we had to look for a place to sleep at night," Laine continued.

"I feel safe here and don't even think about that stuff anymore," Dakota added.

"Yeah, and now we're all gonna be a family," Jamie followed.

"That we are, and no one's happier about it than me."

"We are," the boys all chirped back.

"Yes, I suppose you are and I'm really glad you feel that way."

"I still kinda wish I could stay here with the rest of you," Laine added.

"Let's put it this way, if anything ever happens to your parents, you know that you and your brother have another family you can count on. All you have to do is let me know and I'll be there in a flash to get you."

"Yeah, I know, and that makes me feel good too."

***

After we dried off, we all went to our rooms to change, and then the boys decided to play games on the computers while I headed downstairs again. I decided to do a load or two of laundry before I started fixing dinner, and I actually finished a couple of loads while I was getting things ready for our evening meal.

I wasn't surprised when the boys came downstairs to ask when we were going to eat, so I merely told them it would be soon. They went to the family room to watch TV while they waited, and then they all came storming out when I called them to the table. While we were eating, the boys wanted to know what we were going to do next.

"What do you feel like doing?" I asked.

"I don't know, cuz it seems like we're always doin' the same things," Glen answered.

"Yeah, we should get more stuff that we can do?" Dakota stated.

"Do you mean things you can do indoors or outdoors?"

"Ummm, both."

"Ok, and there's something else I've been thinking about that will work into this idea as well. After the mess we made in front of the garage the other day when we washed the ATVs, I was thinking about hiring a company to put down a cement pad there. If I'm going to do that, I suppose I could also look into putting up a basketball hoop."

"Yeah, that would be good," Laine agreed.

"And I could probably purchase some decks of cards and a few board games we could play against each other as well."

"Yeah, that would be good too," Glen concurred.

"And maybe you could get a playground ball that we could use to play 4-Square if there's gonna be cement that we can play it on," Jamie suggested.

"Great idea. Tomorrow I'll call a guy that I know who can do that for me, and then I'll go online and order a bunch of different things to have delivered here."

"Can we help you do that?"

"Sure. I'd love to have your input when I'm deciding on what to order. The only thing we have left to decide is what we're going to do for the rest of the night."

"Let's watch another movie," Jamie offered.

"Ok, let's see what on-demand movies are available."

After looking over our options, the boys chose the movie The Kid Who Would Be King. It was a cute movie about a boy named Alex and his friend, Bedders, who was being bullied by two other boys, Lance and Kaye. While fleeing from them, Alex finds a sword that turns out to be Excalibur, and then the wizard Merlin turns up at his school as a new student. Together, they end up fighting the evil enchanter Morgana, and this leads to some very interesting situations. The boys seemed to enjoy watching it, and since it wasn't overly scary, I didn't think I'd have to worry about a late-night visit from Jamie.

***

Once the movie ended, we all went upstairs, and the boys wanted to shower again. "But we already showered and then we went swimming. Why do you want to take another shower?"

"Cuz, the last one was cold, so we want to take a warm shower this time," Dakota responded.

"Ok, I suppose we could do that then." I headed into the bathroom, and Jamie and Dakota were right behind me. "You know, this is becoming a habit," I teased when they entered my bathroom.

"Yeah, we like doin' this with you," Dakota responded.

"And we like it when you wash us," Jamie added.

"Is that all you like?" I pressed.

"I like it when I get a boner, and then you suck on it for me," he replied, and then he giggled.

"I had a feeling there was more than you just wanting to shower with me."

"It's cuz we love you too," Jamie added.

"Love me or love me helping you get your rocks off?"

"Can't it be both?" he asked, and then he grinned.

"I suppose it can. So do you both want me to do that for you?"

"Yeah," Dakota agreed. "You can make love to me tomorrow night."

I then ended up washing both boys before sucking them off, and once I finished, they washed me. Jamie even sucked on my penis for a while before Dakota took over, and then Jamie had me spread my legs so he could rim me.

"I'm surprised you like doing this," I stated just before he started.

"It's kinda fun, and then you can do it to us when we get out to your bed."

"Even though you've already cum?"

"Yeah, cuz I like when you do that to me too."

After I blew my load into Dakota's mouth, we finished washing. After we dried off, both boys raced into my bedroom and leaped onto the bed, and they both had their knees pulled back to their chest by the time I joined them.

"Ok, who's going first?"

"You can start with Jamie, seeing it was his idea," Dakota offered.

I then spent the next couple of minutes rimming Jamie, and then I moved over to do the same thing to Dakota. Once they were both satisfied, Jamie asked a question.

"Can I sleep with you guys too?"

"Yes, as long as Dakota doesn't mind."

"Nah, it's ok," Dakota confirmed.

"So who's in the middle, you or me?"

"You!" Jamie answered.

I didn't hesitate and got into bed between them, and then they both laid their heads on my chest as they cuddled with me. I held each of them as well, and gradually we drifted off to sleep.

***

When I woke up the following morning, I found myself lying between the two boys and decided to wait until they began to stir before I got up to fix their breakfast.

After we finished eating and the boys had helped me clear off the dishes, I called my friend and asked if he would be able to do what I wanted in the driveway. He agreed he'd be happy to stop by and measure the area so he could give me an estimate, and after I got off the phone with him, I grabbed my laptop to order the other things we'd discussed. The boys helped me pick out the things they wanted me to order, and they'd be delivered in a few days.

Once that was taken care of, I explained to the boys that I wanted them to show me what they were going to wear to the adoption ceremony the following day. I said I wanted each of them to wear a pair of slacks, a short sleeve dress shirt, and their dress shoes, but I was going to let them choose which pair of slacks and shirt they preferred. I would merely make certain they looked good, and they had just gone up to their rooms to decide what they were going to wear when my phone rang.

***

"Eric, its Murray. I just got a call from the judge, and he wants to know if you and the boys would be able to come to his chambers tomorrow at noon. He wants to speak with each of you during his lunch break, so will you be available to make it at that time?"

"Yes, of course, but do you know what he wants?"

"He just said he'd like to meet each of you and get to know a little about you before he certifies the adoption."

"Didn't the advocate already do that?"

"Yes, but some judges like to do it personally, including this particular judge."

"Does this mean he has doubts about me adopting the boys?"

"No, he just wants to meet and chat with you individually to be certain the adoption is in everyone's best interest, but it doesn't mean he has any doubts. From what I've been told, he does this with every case where the adoptees are old enough to speak on their own behalf."

"Ok, then you can tell him we'll be there."

"Great. I'll call his office and confirm your appointment."

This was something else I hadn't expected or planned for, but Murray seemed positive it shouldn't be a big deal. We can easily leave the house early enough so we'll be there in plenty of time to do this and then the boys and I can just grab lunch after the meeting and before we have to appear in court. I only hope there are no other surprises along the way.

***

I quickly made a few other phone calls and followed up on the calls I had made the previous day, but these calls were merely to make certain the situation had been taken care of. Once that had been confirmed, I checked to see what each of the boys was planning to wear to court, and then they either went back to working on the computer or reading.

Since those things had been taken care of, I went downstairs and did a couple more loads of laundry, and it was during this time that I began to consider how Cinderella must have felt. I could sympathize with what she had endured, since I was spending a great deal of time cooking, cleaning, and doing the laundry as well, although I wasn't locked in the house. I got to go out and do things with the boys, as well as being invited to join in their sexual escapades, so I definitely had it better than she did. It also appears as if it's going to stay this way, at least for a few more years, and I'm okay with that as well.

While we were eating lunch, I told the boys about having to drive into the city a little earlier than anticipated the next day so we could meet with the judge. I explained that my lawyer had called to confirm that we could do this and advised me it was just a formality that the judge liked to do with each of the older children coming before him to be adopted.

"So he's not gonna try to talk us out of doin' this?" Glen asked.

"My lawyer said he just wants to make sure it's what you boys want and that it's in your best interest."

"We should be able to convince him of that," Dakota responded. "We just have to do what we did with the advocate."

"Yes, that's exactly what you'll need to do."

"So do we have to do it by ourselves again?" Jamie followed.

"Yes, he wants to speak with each of us individually."

"So, what will I do?" Laine asked.

"You'll sit with the rest of us while we wait to be called into his chambers, so I suggest each of you take a book to help you pass the time."

Once that had been cleared up, the boys finished eating, and then they loaded the dishes into the dishwasher after rinsing them off. I just hoped our interviews with the judge went as well as our meeting with the advocate. It was only one more hurdle we had to leap over before I was able to adopt the boys and we became a family.

Chapter 29
Our Big Day

After we finished eating lunch, the boys headed upstairs to play video games, and I spent the time cleaning up the kitchen and folding the clothes that I'd taken out of the dryer. Once I finished doing that, I carried the laundry basket with everything in it upstairs and gave the various items to the appropriate boys. As I was doing this, Laine asked a question.

"Can we go swimmin' for a while?"

"Yes, I can use a break too, so that's not a bad idea. After you've all changed into your swimsuits, I want each of you to grab the towel you used last night and leave it on the porch to dry off with later. That will save me from having quite as much laundry to do."

"But my towel's still a little wet," Jamie mentioned.

"Just drape it over the railing on the porch and it will dry quickly, because it's another hot day."

"K."

As soon as each of us had changed, we headed down to the pond to take a dip, but before we dove into the water, Dakota made a comment.

"This is gonna be the last time I'll be swimmin' here as Dakota Frost. The next time I'll be Dakota Schultz."

"Yeah, that's right," Glen agreed. "And I'll be Glen Schultz."

"And I'll be Jamie Schultz," another voice piped up.

"Yes, tomorrow, you will begin a whole new life, but it won't be any different from the one you've been living since you first came here to live with me."

"I guess that means I'm like a cat then," Dakota stated. "I had one life with my mom and dad, another life with my mom and stepdad, and then a third life when I ran away and was on my own. I had my fourth life when I came here to live with you, so this will be my fifth life as your son."

"Then that must mean you have four lives left, cuz a cat has nine lives," Laine joked.

"Yep and my next life will be when me and Eric get married."

I think that comment caught the other boys by surprise because each of their mouths slackened as their eyes popped wide open.

"You guys are gonna get married?" Jamie gasped.

"I hope we do."

"But he'll be your dad, and you can't marry your dad," Glen pointed out.

"I don't care about that. I still want him to marry me," Dakota replied defiantly.

"And he won't even have to change his name," Laine quipped.

"Are we here to swim or talk?" I asked to break up the little coffee klatch.

"Swim, and I'll race you into the water," Laine challenge.

He and Glen then bolted down the dock and cannonballed into the pond, and the rest of us soon followed. Jamie was getting braver every time we did this and dove in ahead of me again because both he and Dakota were becoming stronger swimmers. They still had a long way to go, but they were improving daily.

We ended up swimming for nearly two hours today and were able to do it this long because we'd started earlier in the day, and Jamie and Dakota weren't tiring quite as easily or quickly as before. When we were ready to quit, we climbed up the ladders and onto the dock, and then we slipped on our footwear and headed back to the house. When we got there, we grabbed our towels and dried off before going inside, and as soon as we were all in the great room, I told the boys what I wanted them to do next.

"Before you run off, I want you to do me a favor and help to clean up this place, just in case someone else comes by to inspect the house. It may not be about Angel House this time, and it might be someone checking to see how you boys are doing after the adoption, so I want everything to look good."

"Ok, we can help with that," Dakota responded as the other three nodded in agreement.

"I'm glad to hear it, so here's what I want you to do. Dakota, I want you to grab the vacuum cleaner out of the utility closet next to the laundry room and vacuum the rug in the family room. When you're done with that, I want you to clean my room and the master bath next, and you'll find sponges and cleaning supplies under the sink."

"Ok, I can do that too."

"Glen and Laine, I want you to clean the floors downstairs. Glen, you can run the Swifter Sweeper over the floors first, and then Laine can use the Swifter WetJet to mop behind you. You'll find those items in the utility closet next to the laundry room, as well. When you finish doing that, I want each of you to clean the sink and tub in one of the upstairs bathrooms, and you'll find everything you need in the cabinet under the sink."

As soon as they took off to do those things, I turned to Jamie. "I want you to get the Swifter Duster out of the utility closet and use it to collect the dust off of the furniture and all of the blinds on the first floor. When you finish doing that, I want you to clean the sink in the downstairs bathroom."

"K, I can do that."

While they were taking care of those jobs, I wiped down the kitchen sink and all the counters, started the dishwasher, and then I wiped down the dining room table. Once I finished with those things, I started working on dinner, and I was still doing that when the boys came back to speak with me.

"We did everything you asked," Glen stated first.

"Yeah, it's all clean, and we even straightened up our bedrooms, and I made your bed too," Dakota added.

"Do you want us to do anything else?" Jamie asked.

"No, you're on your own for now, and you can do anything you want. Dinner will be ready in about an hour."

"Can I help you with that?" Laine followed.

"No, I'm pretty well set, so go enjoy yourselves for a while."

***

They took off for the family room, but I wasn't sure if they were going to watch TV or just chat, and then I called them an hour later to come out and eat.

"Man, I'm getting' nervous and excited at the same time," Dakota announced in between mouthfuls.

"Me too," Glen concurred. "I can't believe that by this time tomorrow, we'll be brothers, and you'll be our dad."

"It's been that way for a while now, although maybe not in the eyes of the law. The only difference is that tomorrow, it will be legal."

"Yeah, and it will be like we're being born into a new family," Jamie reasoned. I thought that was an interesting analogy.

"Damn, I'm kinda feeling left out," Laine chimed in.

"You're not, and you'll always be part of this family even though I'm not able to adopt you. Dakota, Glen, and Jamie will always be your other brothers, and I'll be your other dad."

"Yeah, I know, and it makes me feel better knowin' you guys all care about me too, and I'm really happy for you, but it's just that I kinda wish I was part of this too."

"I know, but you'll be back with your family again in a few weeks, and then these feelings will all disappear."

"Yeah, I know, and I'm getting excited about seein' my mom, dad, and brother again."

"And I'm sure they're just as excited about seeing you as well."

After we finished eating, we all went to the family room to watch another on-demand movie. The boys wanted to see Avengers: Infinity Wars, so I cued it up, and we all settled in to enjoy it.

Even though the family room is quite large and there's a large flat-screen TV in there, it seems as if we all pack together into a small space whenever we're in there. Dakota sits on the sofa to my left, Glen on my right, while Jamie sits on my lap, and Laine sits on the floor between my legs. I know it's because they all want to be close to me, but its July, and it's hot out, and when you add in the body heat we generate, it can tend to make this closeness uncomfortable. The problem is, it's apparently more important to the boys that they're able to do this, so I don't complain and merely look forward to a cool shower when the movie ends.

***

When the final credits began to roll, we went upstairs to get ready for bed. Glen and Laine announced that they were going to have sex with each other, and even though I expected them to do it in one of the bedrooms, they opted to do it in one of the bathrooms instead. I merely reminded them to use the bathmat along with the appliqués, so they didn't slip, fall, and get injured while they were doing that. It wouldn't look good if they showed up in court all banged up and bruised, and I was sure they wouldn't want to explain how it happened, so they assured me they'd be careful.

Once that was settled, I went to my bathroom with Dakota and Jamie following close behind. We all stripped down and stepped into my shower together, and I washed each of them first before they washed me. After we finished, we dried off and headed out to get in bed.

"I have no idea why you two still have your own bedrooms when you sleep in here with me every night," I teased.

"I told you I didn't need a bedroom when I first came to live with you," Dakota pointed out.

"Yes, I guess you did."

"And we do this cuz we love you," Jamie answered sweetly. "And cuz we're hoping you'll suck our cocks," he added, spoiling the illusion.

"Why doesn't that surprise me?" I shot back.

"But you promised to make love to me tonight," Dakota whined.

"Yes, I did, so what if I take care of Jamie first and then we can do that after."

As soon as that had been agreed to, Jamie hopped onto the mattress and laid back. I got on the bed just below his feet, looked up, and spoke.

"Are you sure this is what you want me to do?"

"Yeah, and you can do that thing to my butt too."

He had barely gotten the words out of his mouth before I grabbed his ankles, lifted his legs, and pushed them back to his chest. Then, I dove down and started to rim him for all I was worth. He began to moan and coo as I was doing this to him, and when I glanced up, I saw that his head was lolling from side to side with his eyes closed as he focused on the pleasant feelings I was eliciting.

"He likes you doin' this to him just like I do," Dakota uttered when he saw me looking up at Jamie's face.

I didn't respond to his comment since I was busy at the time and merely continued attacking Jamie's opening with my tongue. This caused him to squirm and sigh, and he also pushed his butt toward me in an effort to get me penetrate it further. I continued doing this for a few minutes, and then I worked my way up his perineum until I reached his scrotum. After playing with that area for a brief time, I moved even higher so I could attack his throbbing and leaking erection next.

After running my tongue up the length of his shaft, I ran it over the leaking knob so I could collect his juices and savor their sweet flavor. After doing that for a brief time, I lowered my mouth over his penis and began to nod up and down on it. Jamie started thrusting his hips at the same time and mirrored my actions as he desperately sought his desired relief. This frantic and erotic dance continued for a few more minutes, and then his body stiffened as the first string of his boy seed erupted into my mouth. A couple of smaller strings followed that, and then his body began to relax as the remaining semen gently oozed from the tiny slit.

Once I pulled off Jamie's shrinking boyhood, I waited as he enjoyed the wonderful feelings radiating throughout his smaller frame. To my surprise, Jamie fell asleep during that time, and Dakota looked over at me before he spoke.

"Are you gonna make love to me now?" he begged as he reached down and started to fondle my manhood. "You can do the same things to me that you did to Jamie too, but I want you to kiss me first, and then I wanna feel you inside me after you've done that other stuff."

"I hope we don't disturb Jamie if we do that, but I'm up for it if you are."

I then moved over to his side of the bed, and we kissed for a while first, and then I worked my way down his body and paid attention to each of his sensitive areas along the way. When I got down to his waist, I got up and moved between his legs so I could rim him next, and after I'd done that for a few minutes, I worked on his scrotum next. After that, I sucked on his penis, but I didn't make him cum because he wanted to wait and see if that happened while I was making love to him instead. Since that's what he wanted, I asked him to grab the lube out of the nightstand and hand it to me.

As soon as I'd applied it to his opening and my awakening member, I started kissing him again as I lined up my penis and slowly pushed my way into his tunnel of love. He grunted into my mouth as I did this, but it wasn't due to the fact that he was experiencing any pain. He was merely feeling our intimate connection and reacting to feeling full.

Once I was completely inside him, I began rocking back and forth as I established a nice steady rhythm. While I was busy pounding his backside, Dakota began to moan in delight, and a dreamy expression spread across his face. I glanced over at Jamie to see how he was doing and discovered he was still asleep and completely oblivious to what we were doing right beside him.

I continued thrusting into Dakota for quite a few more minutes while kissing him at the same time, and I heard him grunt just before the first strand of semen shot from the tip. Four more strands followed that, and at the same time his anal contractions were bringing me over the edge as well. Shortly after he began to spew, I filled him with my man-size load as well, and I thrust a few more times until I was completely drained. As I began to lose my erection, I started to pull out of Dakota's backside, but I continued to kiss him the entire time. Eventually, we stopped kissing, and Dakota spoke.

"I'd better go to the bathroom before your cum starts leaking out of my butt and gets on the sheets. I don't want to sleep in that mess."

"Yes, and we have to wash your cum off our bodies too, and I'm also going to wash off my penis at the same time. Then we can cuddle together as we fall asleep."

When we returned to bed after doing that, Dakota put his head on my chest, and I wrapped an arm around his body, and that's the way we eventually fell asleep. Sometime during the night Jamie must have either awoken or shifted in his sleep because when I woke up in the morning I had a boy cuddled against me on each side.

***

I realized that I needed to get out of bed so I could start getting things ready to fix the boys' breakfast because we had a big day ahead of us, and we needed to get going. I tried to slip out of bed unnoticed, but unfortunately, both boys woke up before that happened.

"Where are you going?" Dakota asked.

"I'm going downstairs to get things ready for breakfast."

"What time is it?" Jamie mumbled.

"It's nearly 8:00, and we have to leave the house before 10:00 if we don't want to be late for the meeting with the judge."

"Ok, we'll get up then," Jamie confirmed.

I went to empty my bladder first, and then I washed my hands before I headed downstairs and started to get things ready. I decided to make French toast this morning, along with bacon and sausage links, and before long, all four boys came downstairs to join me.

"I'm starvin'," Glen announced as he plopped down in his seat at the table.

"You're always starving, but I'm fixing plenty of food, so there should be enough to fill you up."

Laine had taken the initiative to set the table for me, while Dakota poured each of us a glass of juice. At the same time, Jamie got the butter and syrup out of the refrigerator and carried them to the table, and before long, I was carrying in the platters containing the French toast, bacon, and sausage links. The boys immediately began stabbing the various items and moving them to their plates, and then they started wolfing everything down. I went out to the kitchen to make more of everything because I realized what I had just given them would merely be enough to get them started.

A short time later, I returned to grab the platters so that I could fill them again, and then I carried more food to the table. This time I sat down to enjoy some of it as well, and while we were eating I decided to fill the boys in about what we were going to do next.

"As soon as you're done eating, I want you to go upstairs and change into the clothes you picked out for today. I don't want to wait until the last second before we leave here."

"I wanna shower again," Dakota announced. "I sweated a lot last night."

"Yeah, me too," Jamie agreed.

"I'm going to shower as well, but we'll need to do it quickly before we get dressed. I want to leave the house by 9:30, so we'll have a little cushion in case we run into traffic along the way."

They all agreed, and after they finished eating, they took their dishes out to the sink and rinsed them off before putting everything in the dishwasher. Glen even came back to grab the empty platters and took care of them for me as well, and then Laine and Dakota washed the frying pans and other items that I'd used. While they were doing that, Jamie put the butter and syrup away before grabbing a sponge and wiping down the table. When I finished my breakfast, I rinsed off my dishes and placed them in the dishwasher, and then started it.

***

Once everything was taken care of, we headed upstairs to get ready for court. Jamie and Dakota wanted to shower with me, while Laine and Glen used the other bathrooms to wash up. As soon as we got out of the shower, we brushed our teeth, got dressed, and then we combed our hair before going downstairs. As soon as we were all together in the great room, I checked to make sure they all looked sharp, and then we went out to get into the SUV. As we were going down the driveway, Glen commented.

"It won't be long now before we are a legal family."

"We may not have been legal, but we've been a very happy family for quite a while now," I countered.

I had a feeling the boys were a little nervous about meeting with the judge because they didn't talk as much as usual during the ride, but I guess I was a bit nervous as well. I know Murray had assured me it was usual for the judge to do this, but being a single man who was adopting three boys at once made me wonder if there might be more to this than what Murray had told me. I guess I'll find out shortly.

When we reached the city limits, I drove directly to the courthouse and parked in the visitor's lot. Then, we headed to the judge's chambers, which was on the second floor, next to the courtroom for family court. I located the door that Murray had indicated we needed to go to, and when we entered, I spoke with the woman sitting at the desk. I assumed she was the judge's secretary.

"Hello, I'm Eric Schultz, and I've brought the three boys I'm adopting. We were told the judge wanted to meet with us."

"Yes, and if you'll all take a seat, I'll notify him that you're here," she replied as she looked at the boys and then me, "I'm sorry, but I'm confused. You seem to have a fourth boy with you."

"Yes, he's a friend of the other three, and he came with them for moral support."

She nodded her head and made the call. She then went back to work until she received a phone call in return. When she hung up, she looked in our direction and spoke.

"Dakota Frost, you may go in now. Just use that door over there," she added as she pointed behind her and to our right.

Dakota was only in there for about ten minutes before he came out again. "Jamie, you're next," he announced.

When he sat down next to me, he whispered in my ear. "He just wanted to know if I wanted you to adopt me and what I thought of you."

"Then I hope you didn't tell him the truth," I teased, and this caused him to look at me strangely. When he realized I was joking, he punched me in the arm.

Jamie returned about ten minutes later as well, and he told Glen to go next. He then came over and indicated that he wanted to sit on my lap.

"He was nice and just wanted to know why I wanted you to adopt me."

"I'm glad it went well for you."

When Glen came out, he looked at me and said, "Dad, he wants to talk to you next."

This caused the secretary to look at both of us oddly since she knew I was scheduled to adopt the boys and was shocked that he was calling me dad already. I merely got up and walked to the door the boys had used, and I found it partially open, so I stepped inside.

"Good afternoon, I'm Judge Roy Booker," he greeted me. "I wanted to meet all of you before you appeared before me this afternoon."

"It's nice to meet you as well, and I'm Eric Schultz."

"Yes, I assumed that much. First of all, I've made a few observations already, and I'd like to share them with you. Each of the boys seems happy, well cared for, and I've noticed that all of them were referring to you as 'dad.' "

"Yes, I've had custody of them for a while now, and we've grown close, so they asked if I'd mind if they started calling me that. It was also shortly after they started doing it when they asked if I would adopt them."

"I see, and I have something to confess. I was mainly intrigued by this case because of the report I received from Martha O'Donnell, the advocate assigned to your case. It was more glowing than any other report I've ever received from her, and she has handled many of the other adoptions that have appeared in my court. I don't remember her ever being as positive in her advocacy of any of the other people involved in those cases."

"Yes, she was a very nice lady."

"She mentioned in her report that you're a professional and work in a school district."

"Yes, I'm a school psychologist."

"And obviously your background has helped to form your approach when working with these youngsters. I'll make this short because I want to grab a bite to eat before the next court session gets started. I'm impressed with what I've seen and learned, and I'm glad I've met you and the boys in person. I'll see you all again in my courtroom in about an hour, and it has truly been a pleasure meeting you. I look forward to making this arrangement official."

"Thank you, Your Honor," I said as I offered him my hand, "and it was a pleasure meeting you as well."

After we shook hands, I left his office and asked the boys to follow me out to the SUV. I was practically bouncing with joy as they followed me, and I was finally able to breathe again since the judge had been so positive during our meeting.

Although I don't usually like to go to fast food places to eat, I realized we didn't have enough time to go to a restaurant and then still be able to get back to the courtroom in time. I knew there was a Burger King not far from the courthouse, so I took the boys there for lunch. We ordered quickly, and then we sat down to eat.

"So is everything ok?" Laine asked since he hadn't met with the judge.

"Yes, it's fine. The judge was very positive and said he was very impressed with each of the boys. He also mentioned that he noticed you were all referring to me as dad."

"Yeah, we're just really used to doin' that, so it kinda slipped out," Dakota confessed.

"When he asked me why I wanted you to adopt me, I said Dad is really nice and he takes good care of us," Jamie admitted.

"And I told him I was never scared that dad was gonna slap me around as my old dad did," Glen added.

"Well, whatever you told him must have worked, because he was very impressed with each of you."

As soon as we finished eating, we headed back to the courthouse. I believe we were all more than ready for the final act in this process to play out.

Chapter 30
It's All Legal

When we arrived back at the courthouse, we waited in the hallway outside of Family Court, and then a few minutes later, Murray came to join us. I chatted with him until our names were called, and we were allowed to enter the courtroom, and then Murray led us up to the front, and we took our seats there. Laine followed us in, but he sat in the row behind us.

"Murray Dann representing Dr. Eric Schultz, Your Honor," he announced once we were all in place.

"It's nice to see you again, and this shouldn't take very long since I've spoken with each of your clients already. The reason we are here today is to address Dr. Eric Schultz's request to adopt three young men: Dakota Andrew Frost, James Jeffrey Palmer, and Glen Oliver Wittes. The interviews have been completed, and the reports filed and read, and the court finds that everything is in order. So if you will all please rise I will make this official."

The boys and I stood up, along with Murray, and the judge smiled at us before he spoke. "Dakota Andrew Frost, you will now be known as Dakota Andrew Schultz. James Jeffrey Palmer, you will now be known as James Eric Schultz, and Glen Oliver Wittes, you will now be known as Glen Oliver Schultz. Dr. Eric Schultz is now your legal parent, and each of you is now legally his son. I wish to offer my sincerest congratulations to each of you."

The boys then moved in front of me and wrapped their arms around my body in a group-hug. As I glanced up at the bench, I noticed the judge was smiling more broadly than before.

"Bailiff, will you please hand these adoption certificates to those three young men so they will have proof that this matter is now official and they have a new father."

Once the bailiff had given each boy his certificate, Murray directed us to follow him out of the courtroom, and Laine stood up and trailed behind as we walked into the hallway. Once we were there, Murray stopped and spoke.

"Congratulations. I will immediately file the paperwork to request copies of the new birth certificates for each of the boys, and I'll send the forms to the Social Security Office to notify them of the name changes. I'll mail the new birth certificates and Social Security cards to you as soon as I receive them from the state and federal governments, along with the bill for the remainder of my services."

"Thank you for all your help, Murray. You've been an invaluable asset."

"I'm glad I was able to assist you with the various matters, and I wish each of you the very best in the future," he added before he left to return to his office.

"Is that all there is to this?" Laine asked while looking slightly puzzled. "I thought there would be a lot more to the ceremony since you had to make all those trips into the city to meet with people so you'd be able to adopt them."

"Yes, they made us jump through hoops to be able to do this, but then it all boiled down to a simple pronouncement that each boy now had a new name and a new father."

"Damn, I thought they'd make a bigger deal out of it," Laine persisted.

"We're just glad we're his sons now," Jamie chimed in to let Laine know that he was satisfied with the simple process.

"Yeah, me too," Dakota confirmed. "So, are we going home now, Dad?"

"Not quite yet. I've decided that as long as we're already in the city that I should take care of another task that I believe requires my attention."

"What task is that?"

"You'll see."

"Dang, you did it to me again."

"Only because you haven't learned yet, but I'm glad you said dang instead of damn. You boys will have to stop swearing before school starts because I don't want you slipping up there. If you do, then it will reflect poorly on how I'm raising you."

"Ok, we'll try not to do that anymore," they all concurred.

As soon as we got in the SUV, each of the boys showed me, Laine, and each other the certificates of adoption with their new names on it, listed along with mine.

"I like how it looks," Dakota stated as he held his certificate in front of my face.

"I do too, so put it somewhere safe for now, because I don't want it to get ruined before we get home. I suggest the rest of you boys do the same thing."

The other boys quickly decided to hand their certificates to Dakota as well, and then he placed all of the certificates behind the sun visor until we got home. Once that had been taken care of, I made sure the boys were all buckled in before I started the SUV, and then I drove out of the courthouse parking lot. I think the boys were mildly surprised when I pulled into the mall a short time later, especially when I drove to the parking area in front of the same electronics store that we had frequented previously.

***

"What are we doing here?" Glen asked as I was pulling into a parking space.

"I've decided to purchase a game system for you boys since you don't get to play very often on the computers. The four of you are spending a considerable amount of time working with the educational software, and this way, the other two can still play games while the others are working on the computers."

"Great, so are you gonna get an Xbox or PS4?" Dakota followed.

"I'm not sure. Which would you boys prefer?"

They quickly discussed this amongst themselves, but there was a difference of opinion as to which was better. Since I had to admit that I didn't know very much about either one, I would rely on an expert's opinion.

"I'll ask the salesperson for his professional advice as to which system is better," I stated, and then we got out of the SUV and walked inside.

I looked around until I spotted Bryan Ellis, the salesperson who had helped us with the computers, and then I led the boys over to where he was currently working with another customer. We waited until he had finished up, and then I addressed him.

"Bryan, it seems that I require your help with another matter."

"Oh, hi, it's nice to see you again. What is it that I can help you with today?"

"I've decided to buy a game system for the boys since they're using the computers to work on other things, but there's a disagreement on which one is best. Would you recommend the Xbox or PS4?"

"They each have their devoted fans, and both systems support many of the same games, including some of the most popular titles. We could go into the technical differences between the two systems, but I think the biggest factor for you is that PS4 has some additional games that are very popular and exclusive to that system."

"So, there are more games for the PS4?"

"Yes, including some games that I play frequently."

"Ok, so how do you boys feel about getting a PS4 then?" I asked the troops directly.

"That sounds good, as long as you can get Fortnite for it," Jamie quickly replied.

"And I want you to get Spider-Man," Dakota added.

"If I might point out something," Bryan offered, "I have a PS4 Slim system that comes bundled with Marvel's Spider-Man game, and then you can buy Fortnite separately."

"Ok, let's do that then," I agreed.

"Are you going to hook it up to the TV in the family room?" Laine wanted to know next.

"Hmmm, I think it would probably be better if it had its own TV. That way, we will avoid fights over whether someone will be able to use it to play games when someone else wants to use it to watch a show or a movie."

Bryan was also happy to help me select a TV to go with it, so I told Laine and Glen to go choose a couple of other games, seeing Dakota and Jamie were getting what they wanted. Bryan then pointed me to a good deal on a flat-screen TV to hook the system up to, so we now had everything we needed. Bryan also helped us to check out and loaded it all onto a cart that he wheeled out to the SUV.

"Thank you very much for your help and sharing your expertise," I told him as I slipped him a tip after we'd loaded everything into the back.

"You're very welcome, and please look for me again if you need anything else."

"We definitely will."

We then hopped in the SUV and headed home, and along the way, Laine asked another question. "So, where are you gonna put this?"

"I guess we can set it up in either Glen or Jamie's bedroom this time."

"You can put it in Jamie's room then, cuz he'll probably want to play Fortnite on it more than I'll be usin' it," Glen suggested.

"That's very generous of you," I said as I glanced at him in the rearview mirror. "Is that ok with you, Jamie?"

"Yeah, that sounds great. Thanks, Glen."

When we got to the house, I gave Dakota the key to the front door, and then he grabbed the adoption certificates before he went ahead to unlock the door. He held it open as I carried in the TV and took it up to Jamie's room, while Laine followed behind with the PS4 and Glen carried the bag with the other games.

It didn't take very long for me to hook it up, and once I finished, I made an announcement. "How would you boys like to go out for Chinese tonight, so I don't have to cook?"

"Ummm, will you help me pick out something to eat again, cuz I've never had Chinese before?" Jamie asked.

"Of course I will. They have a really nice buffet there, and I'll point out the items I think you'll enjoy. Ok?"

"Yeah, cuz I know you'll pick out stuff I like."

"Yeah, and then I'll get the same things that you tell Jamie to get," Dakota admitted.

"Me too," Glen chimed in.

"So I take it that neither of you has eaten Chinese before?" They both shook their heads in response.

"My parents used to take us out to eat Chinese once in a while, so I already know the things I like," Laine followed.

"Ok, then let's get back in the SUV, and I'll help these three again."

***

When we got to the Chinese restaurant, we were led to a table and seated, and then we ordered our drinks first, before getting up to go to the buffet table. When we got there, I recommended that the boys take a sampling of each of the following items: Sesame Chicken, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Orange Chicken, Mongolian Beef, vegetable fried rice, and chicken lo mein.

"Hey, that looks like spaghetti, but without the sauce," Glen observed when he saw the lo mein.

"Yes, Marco Polo brought the noodles back to Italy with him after he visited China, and the Italians added other things to it, such as tomato and Alfredo sauce."

Before we went back to our seats, I also had them grab an egg roll and a cup of Wonton Soup. Once we returned to our table, the boys began to chow down, but I noticed that Jamie, Dakota, and Glen were slightly tentative about sampling the various items at first. That didn't last long, however, because after tasting each item, they soon began devouring everything on their plates and even went back for more. When we finished our meals, the person waiting on our table gave each of us a fortune cookie before we left, and she also handed me the check.

"That was good," Jamie stated as we were leaving. "I knew you'd pick out a bunch of stuff I liked."

"Yeah, that was great. Thanks, Dad," Dakota followed.

"I liked everything too," Glen added.

"And I was happy to do this because I haven't had Chinese since I left home," Laine confessed.

"I'm glad you all enjoyed it, and now I think it's time for us to head back to the house."

While I was driving away, the boys decided to share the messages from their fortune cookies. "Mine says, 'Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.' What's that supposed to mean?" Dakota blurted out.

"Maybe it's talkin' about you guys getting' adopted," Laine offered.

"Or maybe about you marryin' Dad," Jamie added.

"Oh, then I got a great fortune," Dakota confirmed.

"Mine says, 'Don't pursue happiness – create it.' Could that mean that I created my own happiness by agreein' to come live with Dad?" Glen followed.

"Sounds right to me," I responded.

"My fortune says 'Courage is not the absence of fear; it is the conquest of it.' What's that mean?"

"I think it means that you showed a great deal of courage, as well as a great love of your brother by going out on your own so he would have more to eat," I offered. "All of you boys showed a tremendous amount of courage by striking out to live on your own."

"Ok, I guess that makes sense then," Laine stated.

"What does your fortune same, Jamie?" Dakota pressed.

"I've read it twice, but I don't understand it. It says, 'Success lies in the hands of those who want it.' Do any of you know what that means?"

"I think it's similar to what I told you boys about working with the educational software. Those who will be successful in school in the coming years, as well as being successful in life, are those who spend the most time and work the hardest with those programs."

"Ok, then I'll do it even more now," Jamie confirmed.

"What did your fortune say, Dad?" Dakota asked next.

"Here, you can read it for me, because I don't want to do it while I'm driving."

I handed the paper to him, and he read it. "It says 'The real kindness comes from within you.' I think that's talkin' about what you did for all of us."

"Yeah, I don't think we'd have ever found anyone else as kind as you," Laine agreed. "You brought us all here to live, spent a ton of money us, and then adopted those three, so your kindness definitely came from within you."

"I suppose most of it came from how my parents raised me."

"And now we'll try to be kind to others too, cuz that's how you're raisin' us," Jamie offered.

"That would make me very proud of each of you."

When we got back to the house, I asked the boys to go to the family room next, because there was something else I wanted to tell them. They all looked confused as to why I was asking them to do this, but no one asked what it was about. They were learning after all.

"I have one more surprise for you, which I'll tell you about now. I've called in a few favors and got in touch with a few people that I knew but haven't seen in a while to arrange a little surprise. I'm taking all of you to Disney World during the first full week of August."

"Really? Isn't that gonna be expensive?" Glen asked.

"It won't be cheap, but I thought we should do this to celebrate being a family."

"This is gonna be awesome," Jamie cheered.

"Yeah, I've always wanted to go there," Dakota confirmed, "but I knew my stepdad was too cheap to take us."

"So am I going too?" Laine asked.

"Of course you are, and I want you to call your parents and ask if they will allow your brother to go with us."

"You wanna take Caleb too?"

"Yes, and that way we'll have a chance to get to know him before he comes here with you next summer."

"Wow, thanks. Do you want me to call them now?"

"Yes, I believe it's still early enough, so I think this will be a good time to do that."

I then handed him my phone, and he punched in the number. A few seconds later, I heard him speaking to the person on the other end.

"Hi, Dad, it's me, Laine."

***

After exchanging greetings and answering a few questions, Laine finally got down to the purpose of the call. "Look, I called to ask you somethin'. Eric, that's the guy I've been stayin' with, just told us that he's gonna take us to Disney World during the first week of August and he said Caleb is invited to go with us. So is that ok with you and Mom?"

"Yeah, I know it's expensive, but he wants to do this. Ok, I'll let you talk to him." Laine then handed me the phone. "My dad wants to talk to you now."

"Hello, this is Eric Schultz," I stated after taking the phone.

"Ed Mueller here, and I'd like to start off by thanking you for taking care of our son for us after he took off."

"It's been my pleasure and he's a great kid."

"Laine tells me you're planning on taking him and the other boys to Disney World and that you're inviting Caleb to join you."

"Yes, that's correct. I just adopted the other three boys and decided to take everyone to Disney World to celebrate."

"Ok, I guess I can understand that, but why do you want to take Laine and Caleb too? That seems like an unnecessary expense."

"It's because I can afford it and I'd really like to do this for all of them. We've all grown very close to Laine while he's been here, and I know he's been missing his brother, so I thought we should take him with us as well."

"I'm afraid I can't afford to offer you any money for you to do this. I was out of work for quite a few months and have only recently started a new job, and there hasn't been enough time to catch up on our bills yet."

"I understand, and I wasn't expecting you to chip in. I'm doing this on my own."

"Are you sure you can afford it? It's got to cost you a pretty penny to take that many boys there."

"Yes, I'm sure I can afford it, and I'm hoping you will let both of your sons join us. I've already reserved a large enough room at one of the hotels, and I've also purchased the tickets, so it's technically all paid for."

"Wow, that's very generous of you, but are you sure you're going to be able to survive being alone with that many boys?"

"Hey, I've put up with four of them for well over a month already, so I'm used to it. Besides, I'm a school psychologist and used to being around a large number of children, so this won't be a big deal. I'm certain these boys won't cause me any problems because they've proven to be very cooperative and well behaved."

"I guess I'd forgotten that you were a school psychologist, but now I remember that the cop who visited us said you worked for a school district. I'm also certain that my boys would never forgive me if I didn't take you up on your very generous offer, so Laine said you're planning to do this in August."

"Yes, it's scheduled for the first full week of August, and if you don't mind, I'll pick Caleb up on Thursday, the 2^nd, that way he can spend the night at the hotel with us before we catch our flight to Orlando."

"Sure, that will be fine, and we have a small suitcase he can use. Should he pack anything in particular?"

"Just have him pack several pairs of shorts, shirts, underwear, and socks, along with a swimsuit, flip flops, toothbrush, and comfortable shoes, because we'll be doing a lot of walking. We'll be spending a day at each of the places there, including the Magic Kingdom, the Epcot Center, the Hollywood Studios, the Water Park, and the Animal Kingdom. I figured we could always go back and spend more time at whichever of those places the boys liked best."

"And when will you be returning?"

"The following Saturday, the 11th, so Caleb will be with us for the better part of ten days. I'll drop him and Laine off at your house shortly after we return."

"Wow, that sounds like an exhaustive endeavor, but I'm sure the boys will love it. My wife and I look forward to meeting you and thanking you in person when you stop by to get Caleb."

"Ok, I'll see you then, and you'll also have a chance to meet my sons as well."

"I look forward to meeting all of you and thank you again. I'm not sure we would ever be able to do anything like this for our boys, and I don't know how we'll ever be able to repay you."

"Just by letting them go with us because I'm sure the boys will be thanking me multiple times while we're away. That will be all the repayment I require."

"Yes, I'm sure they will, and thank you for including both of our sons."

"You're welcome, and we'll have a chance to chat again when we pick up Caleb."

As soon as the call ended, Laine asked a question. "So he's gonna let Caleb go with us?"

"Yes, he is."

"So how did you arrange for all of this already?" Dakota followed. "I didn't see or hear you doin' anything like that."

"It's because I did it when you boys weren't around. I started by calling a guy I went to college with, because he's currently pretty high up on the Disney corporate ladder. He helped me to make all of the arrangements and get the appropriate tickets, and he also reserved a two-bedroom villa for us at Disney's Old Key West Resort."

"So we're gonna be staying at one of the Disney World hotels that I've seen advertised on TV?" Glen asked.

"Yes, and the villa is like a small apartment with two bedrooms. One has a king-size bed, while the other one has two queen size beds. It also has a common living area, dining area, and a kitchen, as well as two bathrooms and a washer and dryer."

"So who will be in which room?" Jamie followed.

"I'll be in the room with the king-size bed, and I figured Dakota would probably stay with me, and the rest of you will be in the other room. I thought Laine and Caleb could share one bed, and that means you and Glen will be sharing the other bed."

"K, we can do that," they all agreed.

"And you said we'd be flying there?" Laine followed.

"Yes, it would take too long for me to drive there, so we're going to fly. Have any of you ever been on a plane before?" They all shook their heads or said 'no.' "Then this will be another new experience for you, but I'm sure you'll all do fine."

"Wow, this is gonna be just like the commercials I've seen on TV about goin' to a Disney resort," Jamie stated.

"I hope it turns out even better than that, because I want this to be something you boys will always remember."

"I'm sure we will," Laine confirmed, "So how are we gonna get Caleb?"

"We'll drive to your parents' house to pick him up, and then we'll spend the night at a hotel fairly close to the airport."

"Then what are you gonna do with your car?" Glen asked.

"I'll leave it in the long term parking lot at the airport, and then we'll pick it up again when we get back. I'll drive you and Caleb home first, and then the rest of us will come back here."

"It sounds great!" Dakota responded.

"Yeah, it does," the others agreed.

Now that we had gone over everything, we watched TV for a while first, before heading upstairs to get ready for bed. I'm certain the boys will all be enjoying sweet dreams tonight.

Chapter 31
Hopes and Dreams

When we woke up the following morning, we had twelve days left to prepare for our trip, because we would be leaving on the thirteenth day to pick up Caleb. The boys were still very excited about doing this, and just as I'd suspected, some of them had even dreamt about being there.

"I dreamed I was at the hotel and saw the Stormtroopers, like on the TV commercial," Jamie admitted.

"Yeah, and I dreamed that I was on a bunch of the rides that I'd seen on TV," Dakota added.

"How about you two?" I asked Laine and Glen. "Did you dream about anything like that?"

"I just dreamed about what it was gonna be like flyin' on the airplane," Glen answered.

"And I dreamed about seeing my parents and being with my brother again," Laine confessed.

"At least they were all very pleasant dreams then," I acknowledged.

"Yeah, they were," the boys confirmed.

"So, what do you boys want to do today?" I followed.

"We need to spend lots more time workin' on the computers," Laine answered. "We have to make up for not doin' it yesterday and for all the days were gonna be gone on the trip. I know that workin' with that stuff is gonna help me do really well in school this year, so I wanna do as much as I can."

"I'm very glad to hear that."

"Yeah, he's right about that, so two of us will spend a couple of hours on the 'puter before lunch," Dakota added, "and then the other two can do it after lunch."

"Ok, that works for me, and when you're not working on the computer, I want you to collect your laundry and bring it downstairs so I can start making sure that everything is clean for the trip. I also want you to check and see if you need any more shorts or shirts for the trip, and if you do, we can pick them up before we go to get Caleb. You'll need several pairs of shorts, shirts, underwear, and socks while we're away, although we can always stop and take the time to wash the dirty clothes if we get desperate."

"We prob'ly should have sunglasses and hats for this trip too, cuz there will prob'ly be lots of sunshine and not much shade," Dakota pointed out.

"Yes, and we can always buy those before we leave as well. Laine, do you think you'll be able to pick something out for Caleb when we do this so he won't feel left out? We'll leave early on Thursday so we can stop at the mall first, before going over to Laine's house to pick up his brother."

"Yeah, I can pick out a pair of sunglasses and a hat for Caleb. I'm also hopin' there will be some time left today after we get done workin' on the computer and doin' the other stuff so we can try out the PS4 too."

"Yes, I'm sure there will be plenty of time for you also to do that."

While the boys were taking care of those tasks, I was busy doing more loads of laundry. When I was moving the first load from the washer to the dryer, I suddenly thought about a couple of other things that will affect our preparations. First of all, I already have a couple of suitcases we can use, but it's obvious that we'll need more than just two suitcases for all of us. I thought about driving to the city again so we could purchase them in advance so we could pack our things before we left for Orlando, but then I realized there was an even better option available. I grabbed my laptop and logged on to Amazon.com so that I could order the suitcases online instead.

After looking at the various options, I decided to buy four-wheeled 28-inch suitcases for the boys, and each one would be in a different color. That style was offered in blue, charcoal, red, and teal, and then I'd let the boys choose the one they wanted. I thought it would be best if they had the same type of suitcase and then I'd simply pack my things in one of the suitcases I currently own. After I made sure the luggage would arrive in plenty of time for us to pack, I used my debit card to pay for those items.

Seeing that was taken care of, I called Murray to address the second issue that had occurred to me. "Murray, will you draw up a temporary custody agreement for Laine's brother this time? His name is Caleb, and I'm going to take him with us when I take the boys to Disney World, and I wanted to have it in case there was an emergency."

"Certainly, I can do that. I'll draw it up and mail it to them and advise them to make certain they have it notarized when they sign it. Then you can pick it up when you collect their other son."

"Thank you, that will work out just fine," I agreed before ending the call.

I then continued working on the laundry until the boys came down for lunch, and while we were eating, Glen made an announcement.

"Jamie and Kota were on the 'puters first, so me and Laine spent some of the time usin' the PS4 after we did the other stuff you asked us to do. Usin' the PS4 is way better than playin' games on the 'puters."

"Yeah, and the graphics are excellent," Laine confirmed. "I'm gonna miss that when I have to go back home."

"So, you're not gonna miss us?" Dakota teased.

"Yeah, I'll miss all of you too, along with doin' all the other stuff with you, like ridin' the four-wheelers, havin' sex, just hangin' out, and drivin' the tractor."

"I'm glad we fit in there somewhere on your list," I joked.

After the boys finished eating, they went back upstairs and performed the opposite tasks from what they did during the morning. By the time they came downstairs again, it was time to eat dinner, and then they were ready to take it easy for a while. They agreed to watch another on-demand movie and quickly selected Cold Pursuit starring Liam Neeson.

The movie is about a man whose son is murdered by being given a lethal overdose of heroin on the orders of the leader of a drug cartel. Neeson's character soon becomes a vigilante on a mission to seek revenge, and in the process, he kills three cartel members and sinks their bodies in the river. The leader of the cartel suspects a rival Native American cartel committed those murders, so he kills the cartel leader's only son in retaliation, and that sparks a war between the cartels. The movie was fairly entertaining, and there were quite a few exciting scenes, but it was a lot bloodier than I had hoped.

When it ended, we all went upstairs to get ready for bed, and of course, Dakota and Jamie followed me to the master bathroom.

"Man, I know that everyone has a shadow, but I seem to have two more than anyone else, and they're also much smaller than me," I joked.

"Admit it, Dad, you like doin' this with us," Dakota replied.

"Yeah, and you like doin' the other stuff with us too," Jamie added.

"Yes, I suppose I do, and I also don't ever have to worry about being lonely, at least not for very long."

After I washed each of them, they wanted me to suck them off as well, so I did it while we were still in the shower. After we'd dried off, Jamie went to his bedroom, and then Dakota requested before we climbed into bed.

"Will you make love to me now?"

"Even after what we've already done?"

"Yeah."

"I'll admit I was a little surprised when you wanted me to suck you off in the shower, but I can also make love to you if you want."

"Yeah, I do, and cuz you've already sucked my cock, we can get right to the good stuff."

"Do you think Jamie will be coming back to sleep with us?"

"Nah, I told him I wanted to do this with you, so I think he'll stay in his room tonight, at least until he thinks we're done."

"Oh, ok."

After we got in bed, we started kissing, and our hands were roaming freely around each other's bodies. As soon as I'd paid a sufficient amount of attention to the upper half of his body, I moved between his legs and rimmed him next, and before long I was lubing both of us up so I could do what Dakota wanted.

He was definitely as passionate as any lover I'd ever had, and he was also the most active. I wasn't merely making love to him, because he was an eager and enthusiastic participant during every phase of the process. Not only that, but true to form, he ejaculated again while I was thrusting in and out of his intestinal tract, and my penis was grazing his prostate, and that prompted me to follow suit.

Shortly after we'd both recovered from our powerful releases, we went into the bathroom to wash up again, and then we got back into bed and cuddled together as we fell asleep.

The following morning started off just like the preceding day, in that the boys worked on the computers and played video games on the PS4, but my day was slightly different. Instead of doing laundry and ordering things online, I opted to research the pertinent information concerning our trip to Disney World. I wanted to know everything in advance so we could enjoy our stay without missing out on anything while we were there. During my research, I discovered a few extra facts of which I was previously unaware, so I called my friend, who worked for Disney to clarify what I'd just read.

"Jack, its Eric, and I have a couple of quick questions for you. I was reading online that staying at a Disney resort comes with a few perks. Will you explain what those are?"

"I'd be happy to. First of all, you'll get a FastPass+ that allows you to reserve access to up to three attractions, various entertainment, or character greetings per day. It lets you skip the lines on the selected attractions, reserve seats for the entertainment you've chosen, or you get to greet the Disney characters in small groups, but you're limited to three of those per day. You can reserve what you want to do up to 60 days in advance or even do it the same day by simply using the My Disney Experience app."

"That sounds great."

"You'll also get to take advantage of the Extra Magic Hours, which means you can get into the park an hour earlier and stay two hours later than the other guests on specific days. Once you're in the park, all you have to do is to scan your Magic Bands to get on the rides or get into the other attractions."

"Wow, that sounds like a super perk."

"And you'll also get to take advantage of the complimentary forms of transportation, which includes buses, boats, and the monorail, both to and from the resort or between the various parks. You can also use Disney's Magical Express to travel from the Orlando International Airport and get to your resort, as well as to return to the airport when you're ready to go home again."

"This is great, and I'll make sure to take advantage of each of those perks while we're there. Thanks for clarifying this for me."

All of this took me until lunchtime, and then after I fed the troops they went upstairs again, and I decided to check out the weather forecasts for the various days, including when we were scheduled to leave, be on the flight, and for the days we'd be in Orlando. For the most part, it looked as if we'd be enjoying good weather, and I was excited about the days that were listed as cloudy or mostly cloudy because this meant it wouldn't be quite as hot on those days. Once I took care of everything, I called to confirm our flight, inquired about how early we had to be at the airport before we boarded, and if there were any restrictions or special instructions I should know about.

Doing those things took me up to the point when I had to start fixing dinner, and while we were eating, the boys let me know what they wanted to do afterward.

"Can we go swimming again after we're done eatin'?" Laine asked.

"Certainly, I don't have a problem with that. We'll just wait a bit after we finish our meal, and then you can go upstairs and change."

As soon as dinner ended, we rinsed off the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, and then the boys went upstairs to change. I made them wait a little longer while I went up to change, and then they followed me down to the pond.

I was totally amazed when I watched how comfortable Dakota and Jamie were in the water now, and they were having a blast horsing around with Laine and Glen. At one point, they even came over as a group and attempted to dunk me, and although their initial effort was somewhat successful, I soon turned the tables on them. I not only dunked them, but I tossed them around as well, and that playful skirmish tired all of us out. We only stayed in the water a little while longer after that, and then we climbed up the ladders to the dock.

As we were heading back to the house, Laine came over to walk beside me and whispered in my ear. "I'm showering with you this time."

When I looked over at Dakota to see if he'd overheard or knew about this, Laine whispered to me again. "I've already talked it over with Kota, and he's ok with this. He's gonna let me sleep with you too, and he's gonna sleep with Jamie."

I quickly turned and looked Laine in the face, and he seemed to be serious, so I decided to see if Dakota said anything when we got to the house. He was currently walking beside Jamie and chatting with him, so maybe he had agreed to this already, but I'd wait to see what happened when we got inside.

As soon as we were in the great room, Dakota came over to speak with me. "I'm gonna shower and sleep with Jamie tonight."

When he saw the puzzled look on my face, he merely grinned and winked at me, which I took to mean that he and Laine had definitely talked about this. Seeing Dakota was ok with what I was about to do, I headed up to my bedroom, and Laine followed me the entire way. When we got there, he immediately shut and locked the door.

"I know you're prob'ly confused, but I told Kota I really wanted to do this. I'll only be here for a few more days, and we won't be able to have sex at Disney World, cuz my brother will be there with us, and I wanted to do it with you again before I hafta go back home."

"Is there any particular reason why you feel this way?"

"Yeah, I really like you a lot, and I appreciate everything you've done for me. I'm really gonna miss you when I'm back home, and I liked it a lot when you fucked me before, so I wanted you to do it a few more times before I leave. Kota said he understood and told me it was ok, so I hope you're willin' to do this for me."

"If it's that important to you and it's not going to cause a problem between Dakota and me, then I'm willing to do whatever you want. You're definitely more like a man than the other boys, so I don't look at you in quite the same way as I do them. I'm both pleased and honored that you feel so strongly about doing this with me."

"Yeah, I still think of you as a second dad, but you're more like my best friend and someone I can count on. I told you before that I wanna be just like you and I really mean it. I think you're the greatest guy I've ever known besides my dad, cuz he's pretty good too, but I also wanna have sex with you. When we did it the last time I could really feel that you loved me and that caused it to feel way better than what I did with those other guys, or even what I did with my friends. I want to do it with you again before I leave, so I'll always remember it."

"Then I'll do my best to make it everything you hope it will be."

Once we got in the shower, I washed Laine with as much love and tenderness as I felt for him, and then he did the same to me. When we were done cleaning each other, we got out, dried off, and headed into the bedroom. As soon as we were in bed, I wrapped my arms around Laine and drew him close so I could kiss him next. We did that for quite a few minutes, and when we stopped, I made a request.

"Grab the lube out of the nightstand, and then I want you to lube up your penis and my hole because I'm going to let you go first."

"But I want you to fuck me," he objected.

"I'll still do that, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it to me after I do it to you, so I'm going to let you go first."

Now that he knew I was still going to do what he wanted, he greased up his pole and then crawled between my legs so he could do the same to my backside. He remembered to enter me slowly, and once he was completely seated, he started rocking back and forth. Laine's penis was nearly as long and thick as my own, which is part of the reason I think of him more as a man than a boy, and I was feeling quite full.

Unlike many his age, he didn't rush and used long, slow strokes, and this made it very rewarding for both of us. This continued for quite a few minutes, and then he suddenly began to increase his pace. A couple of minutes later, he started pounding my backside like a piston in an engine that was nearing the red line on the tachometer, and then he stiffened and painted my insides with his creamy load. He continued thrusting into me for a little while longer before collapsing onto my chest, totally spent. When that happened, I reached up and grabbed his head with both of my hands and turned it slightly so I could kiss him again. It was my way of thanking him for what he'd just done.

As soon as he'd recovered and rolled off of me, I rolled with him, so I could continue kissing him. I did that until it appeared as if he had totally recovered from his orgasm, and then I got up and moved between his legs. I think it surprised him when I put my hands behind his knees and lifted his legs, and pushed them back to his chest so I could rim him next. I wasn't sure if he'd ever had this done to him before, but it didn't take long before he started to moan and coo in satisfaction. I continued doing it for a few minutes more, much to his delight, and then I grabbed the lube and got both of us ready before I slowly entered him.

As soon as I was completely inside him, Laine wrapped his arms around my neck and started kissing me again, and he only pulled away long enough to utter a few words.

"Thank you for doing this for me, and for letting me do it to you too. I was right, and I can really feel that you love me, but don't worry cuz I won't do anything to mess it up for you and Kota."

"I appreciate that," I replied as I fell into a nice steady rhythm.

I'm not sure how long I did this, but a considerable amount of time passed before I emptied my load into his backside. After I recovered from that exhaustive workout and mind-blowing orgasm, I rolled off of him and laid by his side so we could both continue to enjoy the closeness. After a couple of minutes, I made a suggestion.

"I don't know about you, but I worked up quite a sweat and need to take another quick shower."

"Yeah, me too," he agreed, and then we got out of bed and made our way into the bathroom again.

After showering for a second time – this time only washing ourselves instead of each other – we dried off and returned to the bed. I quickly spooned up behind Laine and wrapped an arm across his chest, and then he held onto to my arm with his hands, and that's the way we slept for the remainder of the night.

When I woke up in the morning, I released my hold on Laine and rolled onto my back as my head slowly began to clear. Before that happened, however, Laine rolled over and faced me. After giving me a very passionate kiss, he spoke.

"Thanks, Dad. Last night was wonderful and something I'll remember for a very long time. I hope we can do this one or two more times before we leave for Disney World."

"If you can convince Dakota about letting you do it with me again, then I'm more than willing to do my part. I love you too, and I'm going to miss you when you return home."

We then got out of bed, and I got dressed while Laine grabbed his swimsuit off the floor and headed down the hallway naked as he made his way to his room. I then went downstairs and began to get things ready for breakfast, and Laine joined me a few minutes later.

"Let me help you this time."

"Sure, I'm ok with that."

"Will you teach me how to do everything?"

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

"Yeah, cuz I'm gonna have to know how to do some of this stuff when I'm no longer living at home."

Since I was planning on fixing scrambled eggs, home fries, bacon, and sausage links this morning, I talked Laine through the various steps and let him do most of the work. He seemed thrilled that I was allowing him to do this and he was doing a remarkably good job and listening to everything I told him. Before we'd finished, the other three came downstairs to join us, and they set the table, poured the drinks, and even began to make toast. Jamie also got the butter and jelly out of the fridge to use on the toast, and he set them on the table. After Laine placed each of the items he'd prepared onto the platters, we carried them into the table and sat down to eat with the others.

"So, you helped to fix breakfast this mornin'?" Dakota asked Laine in between shoveling the food into his mouth.

"Yeah, I did."

"Actually, Laine did most of the work making your breakfast and I only told him what he needed to do."

"It's really good," Glen confessed.

"Yeah, it's just as good as what Dad makes," Jamie added.

That pleased Laine immensely and made him feel special, and I was proud of the other boys for giving him this emotional boost.

"You're gonna have to teach me how to do this stuff too," Dakota commented once he discovered Laine had done most of the work this time. I wasn't sure if Dakota was merely jealous or actually interested in learning how to do this as well, but I'm convinced I'll find out before too much longer.

After we finished our meal, I announced that I was going out to mow the lawn. I made this decision as we were walking down to the pond the previous evening and noticed how long the grass was getting again.

"Can I do that instead?" Laine quickly asked.

"Sure, if you think you've got the time."

"Yeah, I do."

"And I want you to teach me how to do it too," Glen quickly followed.

"Then you can come out to watch what Laine does, and I'll explain it all to you at the same time."

"I wanna do that too," Dakota added a second later.

"It's better if I teach one of you at a time, so I'll work with you the next time the lawn needs mowing. That's because either you or Glen should be working on the computer unless you don't mind making up the time after dinner."

"No, I don't wanna do that cuz I was kinda hopin' we could go out for a short ride on the four-wheelers after dinner. I'll wait until the next time you mow the lawn to watch ya."

"Sure, and we can even eat a little earlier so we'll have a little more time to ride."

"Yeah, let's do that then," the boys quickly agreed.

After we finished eating, Dakota and Jamie headed upstairs to work on the computer, and Laine and Glen got dressed to go outside with me. I showed Glen how to start the tractor when I did it to pull the tractor out of the shed, and then I shut it down again so Glen could watch as Laine did it next. After Laine started out, I explained to Glen about how to change gears and what the various pedals were for, and then I explained why Laine was mowing the lawn in this particular fashion.

Unlike the last time, Glen stayed with us the entire time and watched what Laine was doing, as well as listening to what I had to tell him. When Laine finished mowing the areas we'd agreed to, I explained to Glen about the trickier areas that I'd be mowing for now, along with driving the tractor in and out of the shed. Once he understood, he and Laine talked as they watched me mow around the house and pond, as well as when I backed the tractor into the shed. They even walked with me as we entered the house through the backdoor after I'd locked up the shed.

"Thanks for lettin' me do that again," Laine said once we'd reached the great room.

"And thanks for explainin' all that stuff to me," Glen added. "Do you think maybe I'll be able to try doin' it the next time you need to mow the lawn?"

"It's possible, but first, I'll quiz you about the things I explained to you today. If you get all of the questions right, then I'll let you give it a try."

"Thanks, I can't wait."

Those two then raced up the stairs, while I set about doing other things.

Chapter 32
Changing Roles

While Glen and Laine worked on the computers and Jamie was playing Fortnite on the PS4, Dakota came downstairs to chat with me.

"Did you have a good time with Laine last night?"

"Yes, and I was actually a little surprised that you agreed to let him do that with me."

"Yeah, but I know he likes you too, so when he told me he wanted to do some stuff with you before he went back to be with his parents again, I told him it was ok with me."

"And I was shocked that you agreed not only to let him have sex with me but that you agreed he could spend the night with me too."

"Well, you told me that I needed to stop acting jealous, so I thought doin' this was the best way to show you that I was doin' what you wanted."

"As long as you were doing it for Laine and not because you thought it was what I expected you to do."

"Nah, I was ok with it, and Laine thanked me earlier and said he'd had a really good time."

"So you slept with Jamie?"

"Yeah, we sucked each other off after we showered, and then I slept with him. He cuddled with me the same way he does with you."

"I've seen that he likes you a lot and feels close to you, but I'm a little surprised that he was willing to suck you off too. I didn't think he liked doing that."

"It was his idea."

"Then, I guess he really does like you."

"So, what did you and Laine do?"

"I let him fuck me first, and then I did the same thing to him."

"How come you never let me make love to you?"

"I didn't know you wanted to do that. You seemed satisfied having me make love to you because most of the time you cum while we're doing it."

"Yeah, I guess I do like doin' that better."

"That's what I thought."

"But I'd kinda like to try fuckin' too. Would you mind if I fucked Glen or Jamie once in a while?"

"Not if they're willing to do that with you."

"I know Glen will, cuz he's like me and enjoys bein' fucked, but he'll prob'ly want to fuck me too."

"That would seem only fair."

"And I think Jamie might let me do it to him too."

"I didn't think he would like doing that either."

"He doesn't mind, as long as it's not someone with a big cock fuckin' him. I don't think he'd let you or Laine do it to him."

"Well, if he agrees that he's willing to let you do it, then that's totally up to the two of you and fine with me."

"Do you think I could do it to you once, just to see what it's like?"

"Sure, that would be fine with me."

"Then how 'bout after we shower tonight? I'll make love to you first, and then I want you to make love to me."

"Ok. I'm fine with that."

"And I think Laine is gonna want to do it with you again before we go to Disney World, so is that ok with you?"

"Yes, it's ok with me, but are you sure it's ok with you?"

"Yeah, cuz I know you're not in love with him and he's not in love with you. I know you both love each other, but not the same way that you love me or I love you, and he and the others know I wanna marry you, so I'm not worried they gonna take you from me."

"That's very mature of you."

"Thanks, and I might let Laine do it a couple more times before he leaves if that's ok with you."

"Yes, Laine already told me the same thing, but I wasn't sure how you'd feel about it."

"I'm ok with it. I might even sleep with Glen one of those times and Jamie the other time, and maybe I'll be able to do the same thing with them. Ok?"

"Of course, and I'm glad you're doing things with boys your own age too. I'm just not sure I understand what caused this sudden change in you."

"I guess it's cuz like I said earlier. I know you really love me, and the other boys know that we're gonna get married someday, so I'm willin' to let them have a little fun with you before then. I mean, we're all brothers now, so I figured I should share you with them until we get married."

"You never cease to amaze me," I concluded as I gave him a hug and kiss, and then he went up to see if Jamie wanted to play video games with him.

As I watched him walk up the stairs, my head was still spinning from our discussion and his sudden turnabout. It wasn't very long ago when he was having hissy fits whenever I showered with the other boys or merely sucked them off, but now he's telling Laine that he doesn't mind if he has sex with me. I still can't help but wonder if he really means this or if he's going to explode later. I guess only time will tell.

A little later, my phone rang, and I saw the call was from the guy I'd asked to cement the area in front of the garage. He was calling to tell me that he'd already come over to inspect and measure the area on the day we were in family court, and then he told me the estimate.

"That sounds reasonable, so I'm ready to set up a time when you can do this. We'll be away from August 2nd until the 11th, so how about doing it then? That way, we won't get in your way or accidentally step in the cement while it's curing."

"That fits into my schedule," he agreed, so I thanked him and hung up.

As I had promised the boys, we had an early dinner, and then we all changed to go out on another quick ride on the four-wheelers. Once I'd taken the ATVs out of the garage, and the boys had donned their goggles, helmets, and gloves, I explained what we were going to do.

"We'll be doing this a little differently today, so watch me carefully. Even though we're going to start out the same way, we won't be returning the way we usually do, so you'll have to pay attention. I'll let you decide who's going to drive first, and I'll raise my right arm when I want you to stop and change drivers. Any questions?"

There were none, so we drove over to fill up the tanks before heading out on the trails, and Jamie and Glen were driving first. We started out following the trail that led from the house and joined the trail that ran along with the government property, and then we turned right as we usually did. I continued leading them until we reached the stream, and then I made a big U-turn, but this time, we didn't stop. They followed me back the same way we'd just come, and then I signaled them to stop when we reached the trail that led back to the house.

After the boys had changed drivers, I continued down the trail that ran beside the government land, and when we came to the road, we took a left and pulled onto the pavement. We followed it back until we came to the driveway, and after I did a quick check to make sure there wasn't any traffic coming in either direction, we turned onto the driveway, and I led them back to the house. We eventually pulled up in front of the garage, and then I spoke with them briefly.

"I hope you're satisfied with that ride because it will soon be too dark to drive safely any longer."

"Yeah, that was nice," Jamie agreed. "It was longer than the other times we drove that trail, so it was good."

The other boys agreed with him, so while they were taking their gear off, I parked the ATVs in the garage. Once that was taken care of, we took off our clothes before going inside, and after leaving them in the laundry room, we headed upstairs to take a quick shower. When we finished, the boys said they wanted to go back downstairs and watch TV for a while, so we put on clean underwear and headed down to the family room.

Instead of watching a movie, we turned to the travel channel and watched a couple of episodes of Mysteries at the Museum, and then we called it a night. Since I'd already promised Dakota that we could make love to each other tonight, I had to turn Jamie down when he asked if he could sleep with us. Laine obviously felt sorry for him, because he asked Jamie if he wanted to sleep with him instead, and Jamie agreed, so I didn't feel quite as badly about saying no.

Seeing this was Dakota's first time making love to me, I suggested that we do it doggy style. I felt it would be easier for him, and he was okay with the idea. He wanted to rim me first since I always did it to him, and then I sucked on his penis until he had a good erection, and then he lubed us both up.

It wasn't difficult for him to figure out what to do, but I was glad Laine had fucked me the night before because Dakota didn't take his time and shoved his penis into me quite rapidly. Not only that, but he started to jackhammer in and out of my butt as a man possessed.

"Slow down a little and enjoy this. You're going at it like the Energizer Bunny on speed."

"Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away."

"I'd say more than a little. Use long strokes and do it at a leisurely pace, and then we'll both enjoy it a lot more."

"K."

He did as I'd advised him, but he still didn't last very long. It was only a couple of minutes later when I felt him thrust into me one final time, and his penis spits its juices into my intestines. Then he bucked into me a few more times to drain his spigot, and then he collapsed onto my back.

I slowly lowered us both down to the mattress, and then I let him rest on my back until he'd recovered from his orgasm. That took a couple of minutes, and then he rolled off and laid beside me on the bed.

"Damn, that was good, but it was a lot more work than when you do it to me."

"I'm surprised because you aren't exactly passive when you do that either, but I suppose being the top would take a little more out of you, especially since you are not used to doing it."

"Yeah, but will it be like that when I fuck Glen or Jamie?"

"Probably, at least until you get used to doing it."

"K, I can handle that, but now I want you to make love to me."

I was happy to comply and started out by kissing him and paying attention to every sensitive area above his waist, but I skipped his penis this time, seeing he'd just orgasmed. I still rimmed him, though, because I knew he liked that, and then I lubed us both up and made slow, passionate love to him.

It took me a great deal longer than it had taken him, but I believe we enjoyed it more as well. Dakota was a natural bottom, as well as being a top in training, and I was making sure to relish every second and every thrust as I made love to him. I was kissing him at the same time, and he had definitely recuperated and was becoming as active as ever, and we continued this erotic dance until I unloaded into him. Dakota didn't ejaculate while I was fucking him this time, probably because he'd just done the same thing to me, but he still oozed a bit before I finished.

After taking a short rest to regain our strength, we got up and went into the bathroom to take another shower. When we finished, we went back out to the bed and cuddled together, but before we fell asleep, Dakota spoke.

"I love you, Eric, and thank you for tonight. I'm glad you let me try doin' it to you too, but I like it better when you make love to me."

"We can do whatever you want, so I'll leave it entirely up to you from now on."

Once that was agreed to, he placed his head on my chest and put an arm across my stomach as I wrapped an arm around him, and then we stayed like that until morning.

The next day started out basically the same way as most of the others, but that afternoon while the boys were either working on the computers or playing video games, my phone rang. It was a number I didn't recognize, but I answered it just the same.

"Hello."

"Eric, it's me, Michael. I know we haven't spoken in ages, but I thought it was time we got back in touch."

Michael and I had first met when we were 18-year-old college freshmen assigned to the same history class. We happened to take seats close to one another on the first day and began to chat, and we immediately hit it off. Before the end of the semester, we were dating, and we remained a couple until we graduated. Unfortunately, we attended different colleges to work on our advanced degrees, mine in psychology while he studied law. We stayed in contact for the first year, but gradually those contacts became less frequent until they ended completely. I hadn't heard from him since.

"It's nice to hear from you again, but how in the hell did you get my number?"

"I contacted the alumni association office at our alma mater and convinced them to give it to me. Now that I've got my law degree and have passed the bar, I thought it was time that I got in touch with you again. What have you been up to?"

"First of all, let me congratulate you on your law degree and for passing the bar. I earned my doctorate in psychology and currently work for a local school district."

"Nice, and thank you. I was hoping that maybe we could meet up sometime for a drink and catch up a bit. Are you seeing anyone?"

How the hell could I tell him that I was romantically involved with a 13-year-old? "Uhhh, kind of. We've been together for about a month now, and we're slowly building a relationship. How about you? Are you seeing anyone?"

"Not really. There have been some casual relationships since we were together, just nothing serious, but I don't want to mess up whatever you've got going on now. I'd still like to meet up with you sometime for a drink or two and to chat."

"Sure, we can do that, but I might have to bring my sons along. I'm not sure if I'd want to leave them home alone."

"You have sons?"

"Yes, I recently adopted three boys who had been going through some rough times."

"Damn, so you're a father now. How old are they?"

"One is twelve, and the other two are thirteen."

"Wow, they're just coming to the ages when many teens start to rebel."

"I know, and I'm prepared for something like that to happen, although the boys and I have become very close during the time I've known them."

"So, did you meet them at the school district you work for?"

"No, I met them through my friend, Paul."

"Oh yeah, I remember him. He was the guy you were friends with while you were growing up?"

"Yes, that's the guy."

"What's he doing these days?"

"He's a sergeant with the police department."

"So, these kids were in trouble?"

"It's just that they had all run away from bad situations. One was living with a stepdad who wanted to send him to a conversion therapy camp, another one's mother was killed in a car crash and left him orphaned, and the last one's dad is in prison, and his mom is in jail."

"Damn, it sounds like it's a good thing you're a psychologist because I'm sure they must have some serious issues to deal with."

"Yes, but they're handling them quite well."

"So when do you think we can get together?"

"Unfortunately, it won't be right away. We're currently getting ready for a trip to Disney World as sort of a last hurrah before the summer ends and school starts again. When we get back, I'll want to make sure they're getting settled into their new school first, so it would probably be best if we waited until the middle to end of September. Is that too late for you?"

"No, and I understand why you feel you have to wait until then because it sounds like you have your hands full. Not only are you a single parent, but you have to deal with three teens, but I'd still like to meet and catch up with you."

"Ok, then why don't you call me at the start of September and we'll set something up."

"Ok, and I'm willing to come to your place if that will be easier for you."

"It would, if you don't mind a long trip, because my house is in the middle of nowhere."

"Really? That must be rough on your sons, living so far out."

"Actually, they kind of like it for the same reasons I do, the peace and quiet, and I make sure they have a lot to do. We have four-wheelers that we ride around on, a pond we swim in, and they have computers, a PS4, and satellite TV to keep them entertained."

"At that age, I would think they'd miss not being around their friends."

"Since they were runaways and have only lived with me for a little over a month, they haven't made any friends around here yet. There are just four of us, and we're all really close, but they'll make friends once they start school in a couple more weeks."

"I see, and I take it you're going to enroll them in the same school district you work for?"

"Yes, and that way they can ride with me instead of spending hours on a school bus."

"Then I wish you the best of luck, and I'll be in touch. Take care, and it was nice chatting with you."

"Yes, I enjoyed it as well, and I look forward to seeing you again."

When I first realized who was calling, I wondered how it was going to go and what he wanted. I'm not sure if he was hoping to rekindle our previous relationship, but that's why I made sure to inform him about the boys because I felt that would put a damper on his hopes and plans. There aren't a lot of gay men who are willing to become an instant parent, and I also don't want to mess things up with Dakota. There may be a huge difference in our ages, and it's led to some problems along the way, but I truly love him, and I'm in love with him, and he's an incredible sexual partner. I wouldn't mind renewing a friendship with Michael, but nothing more.

I was still thinking about the phone call while I was working on dinner, and later when the boys came downstairs to eat, Dakota asked me a question. "Who was you talkin' to earlier?"

"It was an old friend from college. He got my phone number from the alumni association because he wanted to see how I was doing."

"Is this somebody you used to date and had sex with?"

"I don't see where that's any of your business, but yes. We dated for four years as undergrads, but I told him I'm currently in a relationship and just adopted three sons, so he knows I'm not interested in picking up where we left off."

"Oh, ok. So did you tell him about me?"

"Only that you were my son, but not my lover. Telling someone that I'm in a relationship with a 13-year-old boy could get me arrested and sent to prison."

"Yeah, I guess I didn't think about that. So when are you meeting him?"

"Not until September, and he might even come here for a visit. He wanted to meet up for drinks, but I told him I'd have to bring you boys with me, so he offered to come here instead."

"So, he still wants to see you?"

"Yes, but just as a friend, not a boyfriend. He's a really nice guy, and he's actually a lawyer now, and he just wants to get together and catch up on what's been happening since we last saw each other."

"So how come you guys haven't been in touch in all that time?"

"You'll find out when you go away to college. You'll discover you don't have a lot of time to keep in touch with old friends, but it's even more so when you're studying for an advanced degree. We did stay in touch for a while, but since we were at different schools and both of us were so busy, we just kind of drifted apart. He's a good guy, and I'm looking forward to finding out how things have gone for him since we last spoke. I also want to see how he's aged. I think I've aged fairly well and still look fairly young, but I've seen others in my age group who look a lot older. I can't wait to see which group he falls in."

"I hope he looks awful so that you won't be interested in him."

"It really doesn't matter how he looks, because I won't be interested in him in that way. I'd just like to renew our friendship. You never know when that might come in handy, like when I got in touch with another guy I went to college with who now works for Disney and helped me to arrange our trip."

"Yeah, that was good."

"And when we get to Disney World, you'll find out just how much he helped me because there are a few perks in the deal he helped me to arrange."

"It sounds great."

We finished eating dinner and ended the night with a quick dip in the pond before heading to bed.

Chapter 33
Evolving Relationships

Over the next couple of days, random thoughts of Michael would pop into my head from time-to-time, usually at the most inconvenient moments. Even though I did my best to keep from thinking about him, I wasn't always successful. The first time that images of Michael slipped past my mental barrier was the following evening while I was making love to Dakota. Certain things Dakota did remind me of Michael, such as the way he cradled my face between his hands as we were kissing, and the next thing I knew, I was consumed with visions of my former lover.

Fortunately, I managed to keep Dakota from finding out that my focus wasn't entirely on him, but it wasn't easy. One thing that worked to my advantage was the fact that I've never been one of those guys who would shout out his lover's name in the middle of having sex. I would use a pet name for him instead, and by doing so, I never had to apologize or explain why I'd made such an inexcusable mistake.

I had a similar problem the following evening as well, but this time I was having sex with Laine. His larger penis and down to business attitude about sex also reminded me of Michael, but fortunately, I was able to keep this secret from him as well. However, aside from these thoughts of Michael, something else was distracting me– I was still amazed and a little confused by the fact that Dakota was allowing me to have sex with Laine as well. I wasn't about to question my good fortune or look a gift horse in the mouth and merely decided to enjoy it while it lasted. I'll admit that I was grateful to see Dakota was learning how to control his green-eyed monster, but I still couldn't shake the nagging feeling that this wasn't going to last forever.

When I got out of bed after spending the night spooning with Laine, I headed to the bathroom to relieve myself and freshen up before heading downstairs to prepare breakfast. Laine came into the bathroom and joined me before I finished, and while he was emptying his bladder, he asked a question.

"Can I fix breakfast again this morning? You can watch me to make sure I do it right, but I wanna try doin' it by myself."

"I was planning on having something different today, but I suppose I can do that tomorrow instead. So ok, I'll let you fix breakfast then."

"Great, and maybe I can do it for my mom, dad, and brother once in a while when I get back home."

"I'm sure they'll enjoy it, especially your mom."

I allowed him to do everything on his own and only watched to make sure he didn't mess up, but he did a great job. He was almost done when the other three boys came downstairs, so I started making toast. While I was doing that, Dakota and Glen set the table, and Jamie poured the drinks, and he also took the butter and jelly out of the refrigerator. After Laine and I carried the platters of food to the table, we all sat down to enjoy the meal together.

"Laine did this totally on his own today," I announced to let the others know.

"It's really good," Glen confirmed. "It's just as good as when Dad makes this stuff."

Laine smiled and sat up a little straighter after hearing this comment.

"Yeah, it's really good," Jamie concurred.

"Now I want to learn how to make other stuff too, like pancakes and French toast," Laine announced. "I might even start helping Dad fix dinner if he lets me."

"We're kind of short of time for you to do that, seeing we'll be going away for quite a few days, but I'll teach you as much as I can before you leave. We'll start with a few simpler meals, though."

"That's ok, as long as it's something I can fix at home too."

"Of course."

When we finished eating, we cleared off the table, rinsed the dishes, and washed the pans afterward, and then the boys went upstairs to work on the computer and play video games. They'd been upstairs for over an hour when I heard a vehicle coming up the driveway, so I looked out the window to see who or what it was, and it turned out to be the UPS truck. The boys had obviously heard it too, because a few seconds later they were all standing at the top of the stairs.

"There's a delivery truck outside," Glen announced. "Does that mean you ordered somethin'?"

"Yes, I bought each of you a suitcase for the trip, and I'm sure that's what he's delivering."

When I opened the door, the UPS man was carrying two fairly large boxes, but they didn't appear heavy, and he set them down on the porch before returning to his truck to get two more. When he returned, he set those down on the porch as well and handed me his device to sign for them, and then he left.

"Ok, you guys, I want you to help me bring these inside and then we'll see who wants which one. They're all identical, just in different colors."

The boys helped to carry the various boxes into the great room, and then they opened them for me and pulled out the suitcase that was packed inside. Once they were all sitting on the floor, I was about to ask who wanted which one when Jamie spoke first.

"Is this one blue or green? I can't tell."

"The color is called teal, which is a bluish-green."

"Can I have that one then?"

"Is it ok with the rest of you? "They all nodded that it was. "Ok, then the teal suitcase is yours."

"I want the blue one," Dakota stated next.

"Do either of you have a problem with that?" I asked Laine and Glen, and they merely shook their heads in response. "Ok, then that one's yours."

"Which one do you want?" Glen asked Laine.

"You pick and I'll take whatever one is left."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, cuz I'll probably be leaving it here when I go back home."

"No, you'll be able to take it with you," I corrected. "Whichever one you end up with is yours to keep."

"Ok, but I still want Glen to choose."

"Then I'll take the red one," Glen stated with a smile.

"That leaves me with the black one," Laine replied.

"Actually, that color is called charcoal and those were the only colors available."

"It's all good, and I'm just happy you got me one too, seeing I'm not gonna be staying here," Laine stated.

"Even though you'll be leaving, you'd still need something to pack your clothes in for the trip, and you can also use it if you come back for a visit next summer. I have a larger suitcase that I won't be using, and you can use that one to pack all of your other things. You can leave it at your house when we pick up your brother, and then I'll take it back when we drop the two of you off when we return from Florida."

"Ok, that sounds good."

"I didn't buy your brother a suitcase because your dad said he had one that Caleb could use."

"Yeah, I've seen Dad use it when he had to go on trips for his old job, and it's a lot like these suitcases, 'cept it's brown so that Caleb will fit right in."

"I'm glad to hear that."

Now that this was settled, the boys carried their suitcases up to their rooms and went back to whatever they were doing. Once they took off, I broke down the four boxes and carried them out to the shed. I'd store them there in case we needed them later because I could always tape them up again if we required a box or two for something else.

Once that was taken care of, I decided to do more laundry because we'd be leaving in five more days. Once the first load was in, I went upstairs to see how the boys were doing, and while I was there, I took my two suitcases out of the closet. I then carried the larger one over to Laine's room so he could start packing the clothes he wouldn't be using again before he left.

"Pack up anything you don't think you'll need in this suitcase so that it won't take you so long later. We'll have a lot going on over the next few days, so you might as well do as much as you can now to save time later. In fact, all of you boys can start packing too," I called out loudly enough for the others to hear, "and that way you'll be able to discover if you need me to wash anything else or buy something for this trip."

"Yeah, ok, we can do that," they called back.

I returned to my room and started packing for the trip as well, and I was also making a list of the things I would need to add at the last minute, such as my razor, deodorant, toothbrush, and toothpaste. I'd still be using those items until then, and by making a list it would help to make sure I didn't forget anything, along with discovering what other things I might need.

We only took a short break for lunch, and later Laine came down to help me fix dinner. Since he wanted to learn how to do this, I decided we'd start off with a meatloaf, potatoes au gratin, and whole kernel corn. After I had him preheat the oven, I showed him how to follow the recipe to prepare the meatloaf, and then we used a box mix for the potatoes. We followed that up with boiling a pan of water to cook the frozen corn, and although it wasn't very difficult to do any of these things, Laine was thrilled that I was allowing him to do it. The others were also very complimentary about what he'd accomplished and told him so as they were chowing down.

We changed to go swimming for about a half-hour after we'd finished cleaning up from dinner and then we spent about an hour in the pond. As soon as we agreed it was time to go back to the house, Jamie asked a question.

"Can I shower and sleep with you tonight, Dad?"

I glanced over to gauge Dakota's reaction, but he answered Jamie for me. "Yeah, go ahead, cuz I'm gonna spend the night with Laine. I wanna spend some time with him before he leaves."

This came as a total surprise to me, but I didn't have a problem with it. I merely told Jamie that it appeared as if he was with me tonight, and then Dakota asked if he and Laine could use my shower first. As soon as I told them it was ok, they raced ahead to the house so they wouldn't hold us up too badly. Jamie and I followed behind at a more leisurely pace, and Jamie wrapped his arm around my waist as I placed mine around his shoulders. Glen walked on my other side, and before we reached the house, he commented.

"It looks like I'm gonna be the only one sleepin' alone tonight," he said, sounding slightly depressed.

"You can shower and sleep with us," Jamie offered. "You can sleep on the side where Dakota usually sleeps, and Dad can suck us both off before we go to sleep."

"Is that ok with you, Dad?" Glen asked. It seemed as if he wanted me to confirm that I was ok with Jamie's suggestion.

"Sure, that will be fine."

"Thank you, both of you. I appreciate you lettin' me do this with you."

"Why wouldn't I? You're my brother," Jamie replied.

"And you're my son, so we aren't about to leave you out."

Glen smiled and nodded as we entered the house and headed up the stairs. Laine and Dakota were already in the shower by the time we got there, so we merely took off our swimsuits and waited for them to finish. When they came out a few minutes later, they paraded past us naked as they headed down the hallway, but I wasn't sure if they were going to Laine or Dakota's room. I suspected they would probably end up in Laine's room, seeing Dakota didn't use his very often, but I didn't dwell upon that fact for very long before I followed the other two into the bathroom and adjusted the water.

"Will you wash both of us first?" Jamie asked.

"Would you like me to do that for you too?" I asked Glen.

"Yeah, that would be nice," he confirmed.

I washed Jamie first, and of course he boned up when I washed his genitals, and then I washed Glen. He also sprouted wood when I washed his privates, which caused Jamie to react.

"See, all of our cocks like it when you wash them."

"That's probably because you're all horny teens."

Jamie giggled, and Glen responded. "I guess it happened to me cuz I was thinkin' 'bout you suckin' us off."

"Yes, I'm sure that's what did it then," I concurred.

When I finished washing both of them, they did the same thing to me. As the two of them began washing my penis and scrotum, I gave in to the feelings and got an erection as well; because I knew if it didn't happen, then Jamie would be sorely disappointed.

"Dad likes it when we wash his cock too."

"Yes, I guess I never outgrew being a horny teenager," I joked.

That caused Jamie to giggle again, and then I turned off the water, and we exited the shower and dried off before heading out to the bed. When we got there, I asked my next question.

"So, who's going first?"

"Jamie can," Glen offered. "It's only fair seeing he was nice enough to let me do this with you."

Jamie was more than happy to accept Glen's generous offer, so I moved between his legs and got started. After paying attention to his scrotum for a short time, I lifted his legs and rimmed his tiny hole.

"Isn't that kinda nasty?" Glen asked as he watched what I was doing.

I pulled away briefly so I could answer him. "That's why I made sure to wash that area when we were in the shower. "I then went back to what I'd been doing while Glen mulled it over.

"I was wondering why you was fingerin' me. I thought you was just havin' some fun."

After I'd rimmed Jamie for a few minutes, I worked my way back to his scrotum, and then I moved on to his penis. It didn't take very long after I started nodding up and down on it before he spewed, and then I savored my sweet reward before swallowing it. Now that Jamie had been taken care of, I turned to Glen and spoke.

"Would you like the same treatment?"

"Yeah, I might as well see what it's like."

"You mean you never had anyone rim you before?"

"Is that what you call what you did to Jamie's butt?" I nodded in response. "No, nobody's ever wanted to do that to me before. They just blew me or fucked me. Nothin' else."

"Then let's change that for you."

I grabbed Glen's legs and pushed them back to his chest, and then I bent down and started to run my tongue around the wrinkled opening. I could tell he was a little tense and uncertain at first since he wasn't sure what to expect, but once he started to enjoy the feelings he began to relax. His resilient ring tried to keep me out when I first tried to penetrate the opening with my tongue, but shortly after, he relaxed and I was able to force my way past his guardian. When Glen started to moan, a sign that he was enjoying it, Jamie looked at him and spoke.

"It feels really good, doesn't it?"

Glen was so wrapped up in the feelings going through him at the moment that he didn't answer, so Jamie watched what I was doing and how Glen was reacting to my every move. I felt that Jamie was getting nearly as much enjoyment out of watching Glen react as he had when I was doing it to him.

After rimming Glen for a couple more minutes, I lowered his legs and moved higher as I made my way to his scrotum and penis. When I finally reached my ultimate target, I started bobbing up and down on it and continued until he couldn't hold out any longer. He flooded my mouth with his creamy load, still on the sweeter, youthful side, and I made sure to enjoy every drop before it slid down my throat.

Jamie and I were prepared to go to sleep as soon as Glen recovered from his orgasm, but Glen had something else in mind. "I want to do that to you now."

"You want to blow me?"

"Yeah, and I wanna try doin' that other thing to you too."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, cuz I know you're clean and I wanna see what it's like doin' it too, cuz I liked when you did it to me."

"Ok, it's your choice."

When Glen attempted to lift my legs, I merely pulled them back to my chest for him. He was still slightly hesitant as he was getting started and only flicked his tongue out at the area as he tested the waters. When he realized it didn't taste bad, he started getting a little more aggressive, and a few minutes later he was attacking my butt like a seasoned pro. I allowed him to do it for as long as he wanted, and when he decided to move on, I was finally able to lower my legs again.

He then attacked my penis like a dog on a bone, and my penis responded to the attention. He did an adequate job and was able to get me off, and he didn't hesitate about swallowing my load when I filled his mouth.

Once we finished, I got in the middle of the bed with a boy on either side, but Glen didn't cuddle with me. He was lying closer than he had with Laine the time when they'd shared a bed, but he definitely wasn't as affectionate as the other boys. This may have had more to do with the attitude his dad had displayed about these types of things when Glen was growing up, rather than his feelings for us, but I let him do what he wanted. Jamie, on the other hand, cuddled with me as he usually did, and I held him until the first rays of sunlight filtered into my bedroom.

I was mildly surprised to find Laine waiting for me downstairs when I arrived there to fix breakfast. "I wanted to make sure I got up in time to help you again this mornin'," he said as I approached.

"Did you and Dakota enjoy your time together last night?"

"Yeah, we did. We fucked each other and took a shower afterward, and then he slept with me too."

"I'm glad you two had a good time, and now I hope you're ready to learn how to make French toast."

His eyes lit up when I said this, and he nodded in response, and then I told him what to take out so we could get started. I merely explained the various steps and let him do the work, and once again, he did an excellent job. He was very eager to learn and a capable student, so I didn't have to interfere. I merely had to go upstairs to wake the other boys, seeing they hadn't come down on their own.

After we ate together and the boys complimented Laine on the fine breakfast, they went upstairs to get to work again. I kept busy for most of the morning, and then I fixed lunch for all of us. After we ate, the boys headed up to their rooms again.

I called Laine down later when I was ready to fix dinner, and this time I had him help make spaghetti and meatballs. We didn't do it from scratch and merely used a jar of spaghetti sauce and a bag of frozen meatballs instead. I had him pre-heat the oven before I placed the meatballs on a pizza pan to cook them first, and then I showed him how to judge when the spaghetti was ready, so he didn't undercook or overcook it. I also showed him how to prepare the bowls of salad for everyone, and then I had him heat up a couple loaves of frozen garlic bread in the oven, and he was happy with what we did. The other boys were pleased with the meal and made sure to let Laine know it.

After cleaning up the kitchen afterward, Laine and I watched TV with the other boys until we headed up to bed. As I was turning off the TV later, Laine informed me that he was going to spend the night with me again. After we entered my bedroom, Laine told me something else.

"I was talkin' to Kota last night, and he said you guys don't fuck and make love instead. I didn't understand what he meant at first, so he explained the difference to me, and then I asked if he'd mind if I had you to do that to me tonight. He said it would be ok, but only this one time."

I had been doubtful when he first began to tell me this, but after hearing his last comment, it lets me know that he'd actually spoken with Dakota about it because that was definitely something Dakota would say.

We showered together first and washed each other thoroughly, and after drying off, we headed out to the bedroom. After Laine fucked me, I gave him the full treatment. This meant there was a great deal more kissing, and I paid attention to each of the sensitive areas on his body. This included his ears, neck, nipples, navel, anus, perineum, scrotum, and penis, and as soon as I finished doing all of that, I finally entered him.

I gave him plenty of time to recover before I did this, because he had ejaculated when I sucked him off, and then I spent the next several minutes kissing him while I made gentle, passionate love to him. When I eventually unloaded into his love canal, I kissed him some more before I laid down by his side, and I discovered he was satisfied with what we'd done when he rolled toward me and spoke.

"Man, now I know what Kota meant about there bein' a difference between fuckin' and makin' love. That was waaay better, and I can't believe how much more I enjoyed it than the last time we did it. I felt you loved me even more this time, and I didn't know you could make me feel so good by doin' that other stuff to the different parts of my body."

"Yes, the body has many erogenous zones, and you can get a great deal of enjoyment out of each and every one of them."

"Yeah, I know that now, cuz you made me feel really good when you did that stuff to each one. I can't wait to try those things on you and the other guys now."

"Doing it will make you a complete lover, and I'm sure your future partners will appreciate your efforts."

"Yeah, I'm sure that doin' this stuff with you is gonna make me way better at doin' it with everyone else."

"After watching how you've done with the other things I've taught you, from mowing the lawn to fixing meals, you should do very well. If you've learned as much from tonight as you did about those other things, then you'll do just fine. I'm sure you'll have both guys and girls throwing themselves at you once the word gets out about what a great lover you are."

"Is there other stuff that I should know about if I do this with a girl?"

"I'm not sure that I'm the right guy to advise you about this since I've never been with a girl before, but I'm sure if you pay that same kind of attention to their nipples then they'll be more than satisfied. I'm also fairly certain that if you attack a girl's vagina as I did with your butt when I rimmed you, then they'll appreciate that as well."

"Do girls cum?"

"They secrete their own juices, but it's not like when you ejaculate, but I'm sure you'll find that out for yourself at some point."

"I really like doin' this stuff with you guys, but I can't wait to see what it's like doin' it with a girl too."

"I'm sure you'll also enjoy doing that, and I'm glad I could teach you a few things before it happens."

Once we finished talking and got comfortable, Laine cuddled with me this time. I take it that Dakota had told him about how he did this with Laine and I wanted to try doing it as well. I learned later, however, that Dakota hadn't merely told Laine about cuddling with me; he had also cuddled with Laine when he slept with him the previous night. Learning this helped to clear that up for me.

I enjoyed a wonderful night's sleep with Laine's head resting on my chest, his arm draped across my body, and my arm wrapped around his back, and he appeared to have enjoyed it as well. At least that's what he told me the next morning when he got up to go downstairs to help me fix breakfast, and this time I was going to show him how to make pancakes.

Chapter 34
Meeting the Muellers

The next three days were a blur, as we rushed around and completed several last-minute tasks to get ready for our trip. The boys were also spending more time than usual on the computer to make up for when we would be away, which meant they didn't have a lot of free time to do anything else during the day. After dinner we'd spend the time unwinding and doing a variety of activities. The first night we rode the four-wheelers, the next night we went swimming, and the third night we watched another on-demand movie.

The showers and sleeping arrangements also varied each evening, and the first and third nights, I did those things with Dakota. I spent the second night with Glen and Jamie, and then Dakota told Laine he could spend the fourth night with me. He'd agreed to this because he and I would have our own bedroom at the resort, but regardless of the reason behind it, his offer made Laine very happy. It meant he was going to get another chance to be with me so he could practice making love before he returned home.

***

By the time we got to the fourth day, which was also the first day of August and the day before we were set to leave so we could meet up with Laine's brother, I thought we were all prepared. I had asked the boys to double-check and make sure they'd remembered to pack everything they'd need, and then I had them place their suitcases by the front door for the morning. I wasn't ready to put them in the SUV yet, because we would be making last-minute additions to them, such as our toothbrushes and other personal items before we took off. I also used the time to fill the SUV with gasoline and to check the oil and other fluids, so I now felt I'd covered all of the bases. All that remained was to get a good night's sleep, and then we'd be ready to head out.

Laine was eager to shower and spend this final evening with me, and Dakota was going to sleep with Glen and Jamie since none of them wanted to be alone. That was fine with me, and I looked forward to enjoying Laine's company one more time. While we were taking our shower and washing each other, Laine asked a question.

"Do you mind if I practice makin' love to you tonight?"

"No, not at all, and if you promise not to tell Dakota, I'll make love to you as well."I figured this wouldn't be breaking my promise to Dakota since he'd already agreed to let me do this to Laine before.

"Yeah, I won't tell him about what we do."

When we got to the bed, Laine attempted to duplicate everything I'd done to him the last time we were together, and for the most part, he did an adequate job. There were times that I had to give him a few reminders, like when he bit down too hard on my nipple or used too much suction on my testicles to the point that it became painful. He learned quickly from those mistakes, though, and I was convinced he wouldn't repeat them with his future partners. He also did very well once he entered me and took his time as he made slow, passionate love to me. As soon as he recovered from filling my butt with his love juices, I returned the favor and made love to him.

He was very receptive to everything I did and seemed to enjoy each and every step, especially when I was kissing him. He also did a great deal of moaning and sighing while I was working on the rest of his body, and I think he especially appreciated it when I rimmed him, because he cooed the entire time. As soon as I entered him, he became an active participant, although not quite as active as Dakota usually was, but he didn't merely lay there and let me do all the work.

During that time, I attempted to guide my penis so it would graze his prostate as often as possible, and I almost wished he hadn't made love to me first. I would have loved to see if he could have enjoyed a hands-free cum, like what usually happened with Dakota, so maybe we'll have to try this again when he comes back to visit next summer. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time left so we could try it before he returned home.

After I'd ejaculated and we'd taken a couple of minutes to recover, Laine and I hit the shower again before getting back into bed. Laine didn't hesitate about putting his head on my chest after he kissed and thanked me for tonight, and then we cuddled together as we fell asleep.

The next morning I taught Laine how to make omelets for everyone, along with preparing home fries, bacon, and sausage links, and then we all enjoyed the results of his efforts. As soon as we finished eating, we cleaned up the dishes and other utensils he'd used to prepare the meal since we didn't want to leave any dirty items lying around while we were away. After we took care of those things, we went up to brush our teeth, and then we added our toothbrushes, toothpaste, and the other last-minute items to our luggage. As soon as that had been taken care of, we wheeled our suitcases outside and loaded them into the SUV.

I helped Laine take the second suitcase out with the others, seeing I had more experience dealing with two suitcases at the same time. Once they were all loaded into the back of the SUV, I went inside again to make sure everything was turned off, and both doors were locked while the boys were getting into their seats. As soon as I joined them and made sure they were all buckled in, I started the engine and we took off.

The boys were very chatty as we headed into the city, and they talked about the various things they hoped to see and do on this trip. Laine also told us a little more about his parents and brother, as well as what his house looked like, and this continued until I pulled into the mall parking lot, and we got out to go inside.

I took them to the clothing store first and had each of the boys select two more pairs of shorts and two more polo shirts, and after they'd tried them on, I took them over to pick out a baseball cap. A couple of the boys chose hats with a sports team logo on them, while the others either picked out a plain cap or one with another type of logo, such as a Nike swoosh. Laine selected a hat with the batman logo on it for Caleb, and once I'd paid for everything, we went to another store so they could choose a pair of sunglasses. I was amazed by the different styles of frames the boys chose, but I made sure all of the lenses were rated UV400, which is the highest rating. When I'd paid for those, we put the bags with our purchases into the back of the SUV with the rest of the luggage, and then we would move them to the suitcases later, at the hotel.

We stopped for a late lunch at a reasonably nice restaurant after we left the mall, and most of the crowd had already cleared out by the time we arrived. After enjoying a nice leisurely meal, we drove the rest of the way to get to the neighborhood where Laine lived, but we didn't go directly to his house just yet, because his parents were still at work. Laine showed us around the area instead and took us to see his school and a few other places that were important to him, and we did that until we felt his parents had probably arrived home from work.

I'd told Laine that I wanted to get there before his mom started fixing dinner, and although she'd taken out a few things already, she was willing to put them away because I invited them to join us for dinner. We went to a local family restaurant that Laine had told me about as he was showing us around earlier because he said it was a place his parents usually took them to whenever they ate out. I felt they would feel more comfortable there than if I took them to a more expensive restaurant, so we'd have a much better visit.

After we'd ordered, we started chatting and got to know one another better. I could see that Laine had inherited his father's height and build, but he had many of his mother's features, which explained why he was such a handsome young man. Caleb was basically a miniature version of Laine, which gave me the impression that he probably looked very much like Laine would have appeared a couple of years ago. I was hoping that Caleb's personality was a lot like his brother's as well because then it would ensure that we'd all get along well on this trip.

Laine's parents questioned me about my background and what had prompted me to adopt the other three boys, and they also wanted to know how I could afford to take all of the boys on this trip. I didn't tell them about my windfall and merely explained that I'd saved up quite a bit of money from my job, since I lived alone, and that seemed to be sufficient for them. They also asked Laine how he'd made out on his own before he came to live with me, and then they asked him what it was like staying at my place.

Laine told them about the house, how much land I owned, and that I'd let them drive the four-wheelers, and he also explained that he got to drive my tractor as well. He then told them that I had been teaching him how to cook and fix various meals, which seemed to impress his mother. I made sure to explain that it was Laine's idea to learn how to cook, as well as his wanting to drive the tractor, and I think this relieved some of their fears that I'd been using him as slave labor.

We didn't talk as much once the food was delivered, although Caleb used the time to ask his brother a question. "What was it like drivin' the four-wheelers and the tractor?"

After Laine answered his question, Caleb made another comment. "Man, I wish I could have been there to do that stuff with you."

I think Laine and I drew the same conclusion, which was that Caleb would be eager to go with him next summer if his parents decided to allow them to do that. Now, I merely wondered how he was going to react when he was alone with us, both tonight and during the trip.

Before the meal ended, Laine's mom and dad thanked me for taking care of Laine for the past few weeks and for taking both of the boys on this trip. I told them they were more than welcome, and they didn't have to worry about Laine since he was a great kid and had a good head on his shoulders. I then told them about the education software and how he'd spent even more time then I'd suggested working with it so he would do well in school this fall. I believe that impressed them as well, and they realized the time he'd spent with me wasn't all fun and games.

When we finished eating, we drove back to their house, and when we got there, Laine took the large suitcase out of the back of the SUV so he could carry it inside.

"What's that for?" his father asked when he saw what Laine was doing.

"Eric bought me some clothes and some books to read, and he let me use this suitcase so that I could bring them back here with me."

"He bought you clothes too?" his mother asked.

"Yeah, cuz some of the things I'd taken with me kinda got messed up or stolen before I met him. We also needed special clothes to ride the four-wheelers, so we didn't get scratched up by bushes and other stuff, and Eric said he had a grant that he used to get these things for us."

"Yes, I applied for the grant to help with running the residential center, which was the primary reason I was able to take the boys in," I confirmed. "It also allowed me to purchase a few things that they needed."

When we got inside, I asked Caleb to go get his suitcase, so we could take off because we had a fairly lengthy trip to get to the hotel that I'd made reservations at for tonight. It was located near the airport so it would be easier for us the following day.

"Are you sure you've packed everything?" I asked when he returned with the suitcase.

"I checked it last night to make sure he had everything," his mother answered for him. "And I believe you'll need this as well."She then handed me the temporary custody paperwork that Murray had sent them.

"Yes, I'll need that in case of an emergency, and I have the papers you'd already signed for Laine in my suitcase. I'm also glad to hear that you checked to make certain that Caleb didn't forget anything he might need."

After both boys said goodbye to their parents and had kissed their mother, we took Caleb's suitcase out to the SUV and placed it in the back with the others. Then, we all climbed inside, said goodbye one more time, and then we also waved at Laine and Caleb's parents as we drove away.

"Man, I can't believe you asked me to go with you," Caleb said as we were leaving.

"I didn't think it would be right to take your brother and not include you, so I hope you enjoy this."

"Oh, I will."

"You know we're flying there, right?" I asked him next.

"Yeah, and my dad told me what it was gonna be like in the airplane so I wouldn't be scared."

"I'm glad to hear that."

After my little conversation with Caleb, I let the boys chat with each other and gave them a chance to get to know one another better. By the time we reached the hotel, they all seemed like old friends, and once I'd parked we got out and grabbed our suitcases. I also had the boys grab the bags with the things we'd bought at the mall earlier since I planned on washing the clothes while we were here. I was certain the hotel would have a laundry room where I could do that before the boys packed those items in their suitcases.

We went directly to the front desk to check-in, seeing I'd reserved a single room with two queen-size beds for tonight. I figured Dakota and Jamie could sleep with me, and Caleb could sleep with Glen and his brother. I asked for two key cards, just in case one of the boys needed to leave the room for some reason, and once we got there I took the clothes I'd just bought for them and removed the tags so I could launder them. I'd already asked the front desk clerk where the laundry room was located so I could do this before we went to sleep.

I left the boys alone when I went to do this, but I also asked them to get ready for bed while I was gone. I then carried the items down to the laundry room and split them into two loads before purchasing two packets of detergent from the vending machine. Once both machines were going, I headed back to our room while the clothes were going through the wash cycle.

When I opened the door, I was shocked to see five naked boys running around and smacking each other on the butt. They all stopped and looked at me when I walked in.

"We thought you'd be gone longer than this," Dakota offered in explanation.

"So it seems. I hope you didn't force Caleb into doing this with you."

"Nah, we didn't. When me and Jamie got undressed to shower, he took his clothes off too and asked if he could shower with us."

"And since they were all naked, me and Laine decided to get undressed too," Glen added.

"Yeah, I think it's neat to see all the other boys with nothin' on," Caleb confirmed.

"Ok, as long as you don't mind doing this, but what was all that other stuff about."

"Caleb pinched my butt after he got undressed, so Laine slapped his butt for doin' that," Jamie answered. "Caleb decided to slap Laine's butt to get even, so I slapped Caleb's butt for pinchin' mine first, and then we all kinda started slappin' each other's butt after that, cuz it was fun."

"As long as no one got hurt or upset."

"Nah, it was fun," Caleb responded with a grin.

"And now you've all got red butts," I pointed out.

This caused them to check out each other's backside, and then they began to laugh. "It makes them look like they got sunburned," Jamie joked.

"Hand-burned would be more appropriate," I countered, which got them all giggling again.

It seems as if this had taken care of another of my concerns, the one about how Caleb was going to react to the nakedness. When those three boys finally headed into the bathroom to shower, I returned to the laundry room to move the clothes from the washers to the dryers. After I'd done that, I went back to the room and discovered the three boys were still in the shower, so Laine decided to fill me in about something.

"See, I told you I didn't think Caleb would have a problem with us bein' naked. He got excited when he saw Kota and Jamie naked, and then he started takin' his clothes off too, and that's why I told Glen we should do it as well."

"Yes, I was a bit surprised to see all of you naked when I walked in, but as long as it was his idea and he was ok with it, then I won't say anything. I'll just remind him not to mention this to your mom and dad."

"Ok, but I don't think you'll have to worry about that either. I'm sure he got excited cuz he's never seen other boys close to his age with dicks bigger than his, like Kota and Jamie's. He's seen mine before, but I think it was the only other one, 'cept for his friends and their dicks are all about the same size as his."

"I see, and I'm glad he seems to be fitting in."

When those three came out of the bathroom a few minutes later, they were all smiling and joking around. "Did you have fun showering with Jamie and Dakota?"

"Yep and Kota sucked on my wiener."

His answer caused me to look at Dakota, so he decided to explain what had happened. "Jamie got a boner when we washed him, so he asked me to suck his cock. When Caleb saw what I was doin' he asked me to do it to him too."

"Yeah, I wanted to see what it was like," Caleb confirmed.

"Ok, but you can't tell your parents about letting Dakota do that to you or about being naked with the other boys."

"I won't, cuz I've been naked with some of my friends before and I didn't tell my mom and dad 'bout that either."

"Yes, Laine mentioned something about catching you and your friends naked, and that's why I thought you'd be ok and wouldn't have a problem with things like this on the trip."

"Nah, I like it, and I'm glad I got to come with your guys. It was fun when Kota did that to me too."

Those three didn't bother to put anything on, and then Glen and Laine went in to shower next. They'd been in there for quite a while already, so I assumed they were having sex as well. Seeing Caleb had done something with the other two, I assumed Laine felt he might as well do something with Glen, so I went back to the laundry room to take the clothes out of the dryers.

When I returned, I put the clothes on the first bed and told Jamie and Dakota to take their things and put them in their suitcase. When Glen and Laine finally came out of the bathroom, I told them to do the same thing, and then I got undressed to shower next.

"Wow, your wiener is even bigger than Laine's," Caleb gasped when he saw me naked.

"Yes, I suppose it is, but Laine's will probably get bigger too."

"Man, I hope my wiener gets that big."

"It will as you get older."

I went in to shower next, and when I finished, I returned to the other room and discovered the boys were all still naked. "Aren't you going to put on clean underwear before getting into bed and going to sleep?"

"Caleb asked us not to do that yet," Glen replied. "He was havin' too much fun playin' with our dicks."

"Did you tell him he could do that?"

"Yeah, we said it was alright," Dakota answered. "I think we all did stuff like that with our friends when we were his age too."

"Yes, but your friends were probably all about the same age and size as you, but you're all older than him and more developed."

"I think we all messed around with older boys too," Glen confessed.

"Yeah, I know I did," Laine concurred.

"Me too," Jamie added.

"In that case, I guess it's ok, but now we need to get some sleep. I'll take you out for breakfast after we wake up, but you'll have to pack your suitcases before we do that, because I want to check out first. We'll leave right after eating to go to the airport to catch our flight because we'll need to be there a couple of hours before the departure time. That's why I want you to go to sleep now, but please put your underwear on first."

"K," they all chirped back.

"Can I sleep with Jamie and Kota?" Caleb asked.

"I'm afraid not. Seeing there are only two beds in this room, I had to put one of you smaller boys, meaning you and Jamie, in with two of the larger ones. That's why Dakota and Jamie are sleeping in this bed with me, and you're going to sleep in the other bed with your brother and Glen."

"Will I have to do that when we get to Disney World too?"

"No, when we get to our villa at Disney World, there will be two bedrooms. One of them will have a king-size bed, and that's where I'll be sleeping, and the other room will have two beds in it, like these, so you boys can choose who you sleep with."

"So, I can sleep with them while we're there?"

"If that's what you boys agree to do."

That seemed to satisfy Caleb, so he got into bed between Glen and his brother, while the other two climbed into bed with me. I tried to make sure that Caleb had fallen asleep before I allowed myself to drift off, and I was glad that the other bed appeared to quiet down quickly.

***

When we woke up the following morning, I told the boys to get dressed and to put everything else in their suitcases. I also made sure they had their hats and sunglasses, and that's when Laine gave his brother the items we'd bought for him.

"Wow, you got me a batman hat and sunglasses too?" Caleb asked.

"Yes, the other boys felt they would need them, so your brother picked those out for you."

"Thanks, Laine. I like them a lot."

I searched the room and bathroom to make sure we hadn't left anything behind before we left, and it's a good thing I did. While I was looking around, I found the pair of briefs that Caleb had taken off the night before and accidentally got kicked under the bed, so I gave them to him and asked him to put those in his suitcase as well. Then, we all wheeled our suitcases to the elevator and took it down to the lobby to check out.

After that was taken care of, we loaded our luggage into the SUV, and I drove over to a local restaurant to eat. I told the boys to order whatever they wanted, and I helped to make sure Caleb didn't make a mistake when ordering. When the food was delivered, we all dug in, and the boys finished quickly, but they had to wait for me because I ate a little slower. After I paid the bill, I looked at the time before we got back into the SUV and decided to head directly to the airport.

I parked in the long term parking lot, and then we all grabbed our suitcases and headed toward the terminal. After checking in and handing over our luggage, we waited in line to go through security to get to our boarding gate.

We didn't have much trouble doing that, although we had a bit of a wait before we were allowed to get on the plane. During that time, I talked with Laine, Glen, and Dakota and asked them to let Caleb and Jamie sit next to me on the plane. The other two also agreed to let Dakota sit next to either Jamie or Caleb, and then they would sit together as well. I did this because I felt the younger boys might get nervous about flying and I wanted to be near them if that happened. I also wouldn't be very far away from the other boys, in case any of them had a problem as well.

After we'd boarded and taken our seats, the boys settled in and talked amongst themselves as we waited to take off. The three youngest boys seemed a little tense when they heard the noise of the engines revving up and felt the sudden jerk of the plane as it started down the runway. However, they settled down shortly after we were in the air, so I let them take turns going over and looking out the window. I think they were all more than a little surprised when they realized how high up we were.

"Is this like what the astronauts see?" Caleb asked.

"Only for the first minute or so, but then they go a lot higher than this."

"But the buildings look like toys from up here," Jamie added.

"Yes, they do because the farther away you are from something, the smaller it appears."

The flight went smoothly, although it seemed to take quite a bit longer than anticipated since we were flying east and battling against the rotation of the earth. However, the boys were buzzing about what they saw out the window, and it made me think back to my first flight when I was around their age. My parents were taking me to visit my aunt, my mom's sister, who lived a few states away. I think I was just as nervous when that plane took off, although it was smaller than this one, it also made me think about the next thing that might unsettle them– the landing.

When the pilot announced for everyone to return to their seats and fasten their seatbelts, I made sure the boys were seated and buckled in. Then, I watched their reactions as the plane descended.

"I hope we don't crash," Dakota said.

"Don't worry. This is an experienced pilot, and he's landed planes like this many times."

Even after my reassurance, I could still see the youngest three had white-knuckled grips on the armrests, and the other two appeared a little tense as well. Regardless of how they were reacting, just as I expected, the plane landed without incident and taxied to the terminal so we could get off.

I held Caleb and Jamie's hands as we departed the plane and told the other three to follow us as we headed to the baggage area to claim our luggage. Once we had retrieved those items, I led the boys to the information area so I could inquire where we had to go to catch Disney's Magical Express to get to our resort. Once I was given that information, we took off in that direction, and then the driver asked me where we were staying before he'd let us on the bus.

"We're booked into a villa at Disney's Old Key West Resort."

Once I'd told him this and showed him the confirmation email on my phone, he loaded our suitcases into the cargo area and let us get on the bus. It was several minutes later before we took off, since he was waiting to see if anyone else was coming to take the bus, and then we looked out the windows to check out the scenery as we rode to our destination. I think the boys were impressed when they saw the building where we were going to be staying, and once the bus came to a stop, we stood up, got off, and waited to retrieve our luggage.

Chapter 35
The Start of Our Adventure

As soon as we retrieved our luggage, the boys followed me inside to check in. Once we'd been assigned to a villa and given directions on how to get there, the boys followed me again. When we entered the villa, the boys were eager to check it out.

"Wow, this is nice," Caleb stated, "and the bed in this room is huge!"

"Yes, that would be my bedroom."

"The other room's nice too," he added after checking that one out as well.

"Yes, everything seems more than adequate for our stay."

"And the shower in our room is big enough for us to shower together," Dakota whispered to me next.

"Hey, there's even a kitchen here," Caleb yelled after going out to the living area. "Are you gonna cook?"

"No, I do enough of that at home, so I'm taking a vacation from that task as well. We'll eat all of our meals out while we're here."

"Dad, did you notice there's a table outside for us to use?" Jamie pointed out.

"Yes, we also have our own patio so we can sit outside. Now that we've had a chance to look around, what do you boys think about going out to get some lunch?"

"Yeah, I'm starvin'," Glen replied.

"You're always starving," Dakota teased.

"That may be, but I'm also hungry, so let's get going," I urged.

I took the boys to Olivia's Café, and it's probably where we'll be having breakfast most mornings, but we'll eat lunch and dinner at the park we're visiting that day. After perusing the menu, I suggested that we should all order the Southernmost Buttermilk Chicken, which came with mashed potatoes, southern gravy, a biscuit, and seasoned vegetables. The boys all agreed it sounded good, so we placed our orders.

The boys then wanted to know what we were going to do once we finished eating, so I told them we'd go back to the room to unpack our things and get settled in. I also advised them that once we were done, I'd take them to one of the pools for a swim.

"Why aren't we going to one of the parks?" Dakota challenged.

"I'm afraid that by the time we got there we'd only have a few hours to do anything and we'd spend much of that time waiting in lines. We'll go to one of the parks tomorrow morning, and then to one of the other parks every day we're here, and that way we'll be able to spend the entire day having fun."

Now that they understood what I intended to do, they agreed a swim would be refreshing.

Shortly after we finished our discussion, our meals were delivered, and we quickly dug in. Everything was delicious, and there was definitely enough to tide us over as well, and when we finished we headed back to the villa.

After we'd unpacked our clothes and hung up our shorts and shirts so they wouldn't be so wrinkled when we wore them, we changed into our swimsuits and flip-flops. Once everyone had applied sunscreen, I led them over to one of the pools, and when we arrived, we discovered it was actually quite large and there were only a handful of other people using it. This meant we basically had the place to ourselves, so the boys raced ahead of me and jumped in the water.

"I'm glad you taught me how to swim," Jamie told me as soon as I'd joined him in the pool, "or I wouldn't have been able to do this with you guys."

"Yes, I'm glad you're able to enjoy this as well."

I then turned my attention to Caleb because I wanted to assess his ability in the water, and he appeared to be doing well. Since I didn't have to worry about any of them, I focused on swimming laps. I'd just finished swimming to the other end of the pool and back again when the boys informed me that they wanted me to play tag with them. I thought it sounded like a good idea, so we did that next.

After we'd chased each other around the pool for several minutes, the boys turned their attention to something else. When we'd first arrived, we noticed there was a building in the shape of a giant sandcastle next to the pool, however none of us realized it housed a slide that emptied into the water. Once the boys were aware of this, they went inside to give it a try and left me alone for the next twenty minutes. As soon as they slid down and splashed into the water, they quickly climbed out and raced back into the building so they could do it again. After doing that multiple times, they eventually came back to join me.

I stayed in the water with them for another hour, and then I got out to relax on one of the poolside lounges while the boys continued to frolic in the pool. I let them do this for as long as they wanted, and when they decided they were ready to quit, we made our way back to the villa.

As soon as we arrived there, we took off our swimsuits and left them in the bathrooms to dry, and although I chose to slip on a pair of shorts, the boys decided to remain naked.

"Do you plan on doing this every night while we're here?" I asked when they came out to the living area to join me.

"Yeah, why not? I like doin' this," Caleb replied.

"We all talked it over and agreed to do it after Caleb suggested we do this," Laine confessed.

"Then, I hope none of the other guests walk by our patio and glance in the window."

"It won't matter, cuz we won't know any of them," Dakota replied. "If they get a kick out of seein' us naked, who cares?"

"Do all of you feel that way?"

They all began nodding in response, and then Laine finally spoke. "Yeah, it doesn't really matter cuz we'll prob'ly never see them again."

"And it will give them somethin' else to tell their friends about when they get back home," Glen added.

Now that they'd all agreed to do this, they decided to watch TV until it was time to go eat again. After turning it on, they quickly discovered they had access to many of the same channels that we had at home, along with several Disney channels. After talking it over, they opted to watch the Disney Classic Cartoons channel, so I sat down on one of the sofas to watch it with them. Jamie quickly came over and crawled onto my lap, and Dakota rushed over to sit beside me. It didn't take very long before Caleb came over to sit beside me as well, and when one of the cartoons was ending and before the next one began, he made a comment.

"Can I sit on your lap next time?" he asked sweetly.

"I'm sure Jamie wouldn't mind giving you a chance to do it once in a while."

"Yeah, I'll let you sit on Dad's lap," he confirmed.

I thought he meant sometime in the future, but Jamie immediately got off my lap and switched places with Caleb. My initial thought was that this was very sweet of him, but then I realized he'd just presented me with a new predicament. I wasn't sure if I should be letting Caleb sit on my lap while he was naked, but Caleb didn't seem fazed by the idea. Since it appeared as if I wasn't going to have a say in the matter, I would merely watch where I placed my hands while he was sitting with me.

"Thanks," Caleb told him once he was in place, and then we focused on the TV again.

When the boys started to complain that they were getting hungry, I asked them a quick question. "Are you planning to go as you are, or do you think that maybe you should put some clothes on first?"

"We're not gonna go like this," Caleb quickly answered as he spun around to look at me.

"Yeah, very funny, Dad," Dakota added, "but I don't think they'd let us in this way."

After we'd all gone back to our bedrooms, we quickly put on the clothes we'd been wearing before we went swimming and then I took them back to Olivia's Café for dinner. This time I suggested the boys order the 'Steak with Pommes Frites', which is just a fancy way of saying French fries – or in this case, steak fries. Those are wider than regular French fries, and unlike the kind you might get at a fast food place or buy from the frozen section of the grocery store, but the boys didn't seem to mind when I explained this to them.

When the food was delivered, we checked to make sure our steaks were cooked to order, which they were, and the meal also included an Arugula salad. Once again, everything was delicious, and we managed to have enough room left that we decided to order dessert as well. As we were talking it over, we agreed to split into pairs, and one of us would order the Banana Bread Pudding Sundae, and the other one would order the Flourless Chocolate Cake to share. That way we'd get to try both of them and then the next time we ate here we'd be able to order the one we liked best.

When we finished our desserts, we headed back to the villa for the rest of the night. As soon as we got there, I suggested we should shower quickly and get some sleep because I'd be getting them up early the next morning. I then explained that after we got ready we'd go out for a quick breakfast first before heading over to Disney's Animal Kingdom for the day.

"You mean we aren't goin' to Disney World?" Caleb asked.

"The Animal Kingdom is part of Disney World, but I believe you're thinking of the Magic Kingdom. We'll be going there too, but I did some research before we left and discovered the busiest days are Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so I planned on going there on Tuesday and Wednesday. That way, we won't be spending as much time waiting in lines to get on the rides, and we'll be able to enjoy our time there more."

"Oh, ok."

"But, won't this place be just as busy?" Glen asked.

"It will still be busy, seeing it's the weekend, but it won't be nearly as busy as the Magic Kingdom."

"Oh, ok. Then let's go there."

Before we went to shower, I had another problem to solve first. I knew Dakota was planning on showering with me, but Jamie and Caleb asked if they could shower with me as well.

"The shower in my room is big, but I'm not sure it's big enough for all of us."

"Jamie and Caleb can go in with you first, and you can wash them, and then I'll join you in the shower after they get out," Dakota offered.

Jamie and Caleb liked the idea, so that's what we did, and I washed Jamie first so Caleb could see everything I did to him. I figured this way he'd have enough time to let me know if he didn't want me to do the same things to him and could either back out or just let me know what he wasn't comfortable with. As usual, Jamie got an erection when I washed his genitals and this caused Caleb to giggle.

"Jamie's got a stiffy."

"Yes, it often happens when I wash that area for him."

"I bet I'll get a stiffy too when you wash me there too."

"So, you want me to wash you like I did Jamie?"

"Yeah, I do."

I'd given him the chance to change his mind, but he didn't take it, so after I finished with Jamie, I washed Caleb next. Just as he expected, he got an erection when I washed his genitals as well, even though his was only a couple of inches in length. As soon as that happened, he looked at me and spoke.

"Will you suck it now, like Kota did?"

"I don't think I should do that."

"Why not?"

"You boys can do it to each other, but I'm an adult, and I could be arrested for doing that with you."

"Nobody else will know that you did it."

"But you might slip and say something accidentally, and then I would get into trouble."

"Jamie says that you did it to him before, and I won't tell nobody that you did it. Please, won't you do it for me?"

I looked up at Jamie after Caleb had said this, and it appeared the comment had made Jamie visibly nervous.

"I'm sorry I told him you did that to me before, but after Kota sucked our cocks last night, I kinda said I liked it better when you did it to me. I'm sorry, but it just kinda slipped out. Please don't be mad at me."

"Slips like that could end up leaving you out in the cold. You'd either wind up living on your own again or be placed in a foster home if I got sent to prison."

"We promise not to say nothin'," Caleb insisted, "so please?"

"Come on, Dad. We won't say nothin', and I promise I won't slip up like that again," Jamie added.

After thinking it over briefly, I made one final comment. "Ok, but Caleb, you definitely can't tell your parents or anyone else about this."

"Can I tell Laine?"

"Yes, and I suppose you can tell Glen and Dakota, too, but that's all, and you can't tell them if anyone else is around."

"K, I promise."

"You can do Caleb first," Jamie quickly offered.

Caleb was thrilled that Jamie agreed to let him go first and started thrusting his hips at me as I squatted down to do what he wanted. There wasn't a great deal of length to bob up and down on, but I did the best I could and used plenty of suction to elicit the desired effect. When I finished and glanced up at Caleb, his eyes were glassy, and Jamie was helping to hold him up, so we waited and gave him plenty of time to recover.

"Wow, that was even better than what Kota did to my wiener. You made me tingle all over when you did it."

"I have more experience at doing this than Dakota does, and I'm glad you enjoyed it."

"Yeah, I did and I hope you can do it to me again while we're here."

I was afraid this might happen, but it was too late to worry about it now. Just as the old saying goes– in for a penny, in for a pound, and that's referring to the British currency, not a unit of weight. As soon as Caleb had recovered, I went to work on Jamie next, and Caleb positioned himself so he could watch everything I did to him. After Jamie shot his wad into my mouth, I gave him time to recover first, and then I stood up so both boys could wash me next. Caleb spent the majority of his time washing my junk and treating it like a new toy, while Jamie washed the rest of me.

When they finished, we rinsed off, and Jamie and Caleb got out of the shower to dry off, and then Dakota stepped in to join me. As soon as the other two had exited the bathroom, Dakota spoke.

"Caleb seems to like doin' this stuff too."

"Yes, he most certainly does. I just hope it doesn't create a problem for us later because if he slips up I could end up losing you boys and land in prison."

"I don't think you'll have to worry about that, because Laine says Caleb is good at keepin' secrets."

"I certainly hope he's right about that."

Dakota and I merely washed each other, because I suspected he had plans for us to do something else once we got in bed. After we'd finished and dried off, we went out to join the others briefly, and Laine came over to speak with me.

"See, I told you my brother wouldn't have a problem with any of the stuff we do with you."

"I take it this means he already told you about what happened in the shower."

"Yeah, and he said you told him he could tell Glen and me."

"Yes, I did, but I didn't think he'd do it this quickly."

"I think he told us cuz he'd really enjoyed it, and then he asked if I would do it for him at home. That's when I told him there was no way I'd ever do it to him."

"Was he ok with that?"

"Not really, but I explained I can't do it to him cuz he's my brother."

"Maybe it would have been better if you explained that you couldn't take a chance that your parents might catch you doing anything like that, or it would create problems for all of you."

"Ok, I'll try that if he asks me again."

"Did you and Glen do anything?"

"Yeah, we did, but we only gave each other blow jobs this time, cuz I was afraid that Caleb might come into the bathroom."

"You could have locked the door to prevent that from happening."

"Yeah, but it prob'ly wouldn't have worked, cuz Caleb knows how to unlock the door usin' my dad's old credit card. He carries it with him now, after he told Dad he wanted it so people would think he had a credit card too. I knew what he really wanted it for, and he uses it to get into the bathroom at home whenever a new boy stays over and is takin' a shower. After he walks in and sees the other boy naked, he tells him he's sorry and insists that the other boy musta forgot to lock the door."

"Damn, he's sneaky and smart. He obviously takes after you."

"Nah, I never pulled shit like that. He's way sneakier than I was."

"I'll keep that in mind, but I hope he keeps his mouth shut about this stuff."

"Oh yeah, he'll definitely do that."

Shortly after we'd finished our conversation, I urged all of the boys to hop into bed and get some rest. Once they'd taken off for their room, Dakota and I went to our room as well. As I suspected, he had other plans for me before we went to sleep. As soon as I'd closed and locked the door, I wondered if it would be enough, especially after what Laine had told me about his brother, but it would have to do. I then turned toward Dakota and asked a question.

"I'll leave it up to you. What do you want to do tonight?"

"You said we have to get some sleep, but can you make love to me first?"

"If that's what you want."

"Yeah, and I'll prob'ly cum while you're doin' it, but if I don't, will you just suck me off quick afterward?"

"Sure, that works for me."

I made love to Dakota and did everything I usually did, although I didn't spend nearly as long on the preliminary activities. I did this because I wanted us to be well rested when we got to the Animal Kingdom the next day, but I definitely slowed down once I'd entered him. From that point on I did my best to make slow, passionate love to him, and I also attempted to hit his prostate with every thrust. My effort was eventually rewarded when Dakota had another hands-free ejaculation, but unfortunately this also made a mess on both of our bodies. Therefore, we got out of bed and headed into the bathroom to shower again, and when we finished we cuddled together in bed as we drifted off to sleep.

***

Before any of this had taken place, I had debated whether I should request a wake-up call or merely set the alarm in the bedroom, and in the end, I felt setting the alarm would be adequate.

When it went off, I stopped the annoying noise, got out of bed, and headed to the bathroom to use the toilet and freshen up quickly. I hadn't finished doing this when I heard Dakota come into the bathroom behind me, and while he was doing his business I went to wake up the other boys. As soon as they were all up and moving about, I went back to my room to get dressed. I also grabbed the list out of my suitcase that I'd made of what I wanted to do at the Animal Kingdom and the order we'd do it in and folded it up and placed it in my pocket.

As soon as we were all dressed, I grabbed the bottles of sunscreen and told the boys to add generous amounts to their arms, legs, and necks. Once that was taken care of, the boys donned their new hats and sunglasses, and we headed over to Olivia's Café for breakfast.

After looking at the menus, the boys all decided to order either the pancakes and eggs or waffles and eggs, while I opted to try the Banana Bread French Toast. When the server came to take our orders, she greeted us first and then asked a question.

"Good morning. Are you part of a group that just arrived to enjoy the wonderful things we have here at Disney World?"

"We're not a group because three of these boys are my sons, and the other two are their friends, but we just arrived here yesterday."

"You have a very handsome family. I want to welcome all of you to Olivia's Café, and I'm sure you'll have a great time while you're here at Disney World. What can I get you this morning?"

We placed our orders and she left, but she returned a couple of minutes later with our drinks. She also set two jars of syrup on the table for us to use, and several minutes later, she delivered the food. Everything was delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed it, and as soon as we finished eating we rushed over to the lobby to catch the bus to the Animal Kingdom.

The buses ran every fifteen minutes, so we didn't have very long to wait before the next one arrived. After we got on board, we slid into our seats and began anticipating a day of fun, lovely settings, plenty of sunshine, and a wide assortment of animals. It was already a beautiful morning and it didn't take very long before we reached our destination. Once we'd all exited the bus, the boys and I were eager to have some fun.

I'd already planned out how we were going to do this, and I'd used the My Disney Experience app to indicate which rides and activities we'd use the FastPass+ on. Now, I just had to give the boys a final reminder before we went off to enjoy the day.

"I want you boys to stay together, and no one is to go off alone for any reason. If you have to go to the toilet, then I want someone else to go with you, and hopefully we can all do it at the same time. I'm afraid it would be very easy for us to become separated, and then we'd end up wasting time looking for one another, and I don't want that to happen. I'd rather spend the day having a great time, instead of playing hide-and-seek with you."

"But how are we gonna stay together when we're on the rides?" Caleb followed.

"Most of the rides will let us go on in pairs or in groups of three or more, so it shouldn't be a problem."

"Ok, then we'll all stay together," Jamie confirmed.

"Great, so let's get started because I want to check out everything that's here."

Chapter 36
Animal Kingdom

When we arrived at Disney's Animal Kingdom on Saturday, I decided to start out in the Africa section and took the boys on the Kilimanjaro Safari ride first. After loading onto the rugged open-sided vehicle, we explored the areas that represented the various African habitats, such as savannas, forests/jungles, rivers, and rocky hills, and it included a variety of animals that live in those habitats. Along the way, we saw 34 different species of animals, ranging from elephants, rhinos, hippos, Nile crocodiles, cheetahs, lions, antelopes, giraffes, hyenas, zebras, flamingos, and ostriches. I think the boys gained a better understanding of these creatures after seeing them out in the open, rather than in cages, photos, or films, and I felt the tour was well worth the time.

"Man, I was worried that some of those animals were gonna attack us," Jamie stated when the ride ended.

"Even though a few of the less dangerous animals were able to cross the road in front of our vehicle or came close to it, the park has ways of keeping the most dangerous animals from being able to do the same thing.

"I can't believe how close we got to the lions," Glen added. "They were movin' around, but then they stopped and just looked at us."

"Yeah, and I was hopin' they weren't thinking 'dinner is served,' " Dakota joked.

"It's still cool enough for them to be active, but when it gets hotter as the day progresses, then they'll start lying around and taking it easy, and possibly even sleep. The lionesses will do the hunting and go out just before sunset or at sunrise.

"So, the girl lions do the hunting?" Caleb asked.

"Yes, they are the hunters."

As we moved along, Laine made a comment. "The hippos don't look dangerous when we saw them hanging out in the water, but I've heard they can kill humans too."

"Yes, hippos can be very dangerous if you intrude into their territory. They can flip over a canoe or cause enough damage to a boat by ramming it until it sinks, and then they can use their huge mouths to crush the survivors."

"And the crocodiles we saw were enormous, so they can probably kill people too," Dakota added.

"Yes, they can grow up to twenty feet in length and are extremely dangerous."

"I was a little scared when we were close to some of those animals, but I still liked seein' them too," Caleb admitted.

"I'm glad, and you don't have to worry because I'd never have let anything happen to you," I assured him as we concluded our discussion.

***

After leaving that ride, we took a walking tour around Gorilla Falls Exploration Trail next. This time we were able to observe black-and-white colobus monkeys, gorillas, gazelles, meerkats, tarantulas, warthogs, Egyptian sand boas, naked mole-rats, numerous species of birds, and other African wildlife. Once again, I think the boys got a lot more out of this than if they'd looked at photos or watched these same animals on film because they got to see their true size and unpredictable nature.

"I wouldn't want to be near one of those gorillas when it was angry," Laine observed. "They looked really strong."

"Yes, they're very powerful animals and can be quite dangerous."

"This was fun, but can we do something else besides just lookin' at animals?" Glen asked.

"Yes, and we'll be doing that next, so please be patient."

We then made our way to the newest section of the park, Pandora: The World of Avatar, and headed directly to the Flight of Passage ride. I used our FastPass+ here to avoid waiting in line, and we watched the two pre-shows before going on it. The first video was purely instructional and told us what to do, and a safety lecture followed that and we were matched up with our avatars. The second video explained why the banshees are important to Pandora, along with telling us what we should expect. As soon as we'd seen both videos, we were led to the vehicles next.

This is a virtual reality ride, and everyone is given his own vehicle that he straddles like a bicycle to simulate flying on the back of one of the banshees. Once we were fastened in and wearing our 3-D glasses, the banshees flew us all around Pandora. The movements of the vehicle made it feel as if we were actually flying, which was a mixture of feeling like we were riding on a roller coaster and paragliding at the same time. The visual effects were absolutely stunning and made us feel as if we were actually flying over the planet, which made this a thrilling experience.

"That was totally awesome," Dakota gushed when we all met up again once the ride ended.

"Yeah, that was a total blast," Jamie agreed.

"And I'm glad we finally got to do somethin' like this," Glen added.

"It was fun, but I thought my banshee was gonna crash into the trees and the rocks we was flyin' by," Caleb added. "And then that whale jumped out of the water as we were goin' over it and I thought we was gonna crash into that too.

"Yes, it did make you feel like that, didn't it?" I replied.

After we left there, I led them to the next ride, which was the Na'vi River Journey. This is another ride on the planet Pandora, but this time we sailed down a river on two small, hand-hewn rafts that were joined together. Each raft has two bench-like seats and can carry up to six passengers, so I had Jamie and Caleb sit in front with me, while the other three rode in the seat behind us on the first raft. We then made our way down the river and through the dark Pandoran jungle and viewed the glowing, bioluminescent plant life and observed the exotic animals on this mythical planet. Just before it ended, we were introduced to the Na'vi Shaman of Songs, a very graceful and lifelike animated figure that began to sing and perform a ritual as we approached.

"That was nice, but it wasn't nearly as exciting as the last ride," Laine stated as we were getting off.

"It had some fantastic visual effects, but none of the dips and rapid directional changes of the previous ride," I agreed.

From there, we went on a walk through the Valley of Mo'ara. It's the area of Pandora where the Na'vi people live, and there are many unusual features here.

"What's that arch like thing?" Dakota asked.

"It's one of the floating mountains of Pandora.

"Do they really float?

"No, but the way they were formed makes them appear as if they're floating.

"This is really weird looking," Jamie stated while pointing at one of the plants.

"The Na'vi call it a vein pod, and it's what makes it possible for the Na'vi to live here. The vein pods absorb the toxins out of the air, and if they didn't do that the people and most of the plants wouldn't be able to survive on Pandora.

"I like the waterfalls," Caleb added. "They're high and look neat."

"Yes, they are impressive.

"And there are a bunch of different sounds coming from all around us," Glen pointed out.

"Yes, some of those sounds are made by the animals, but the Na'vi people make most of them. They like to play drums and sing, and it's some of what you hear now.

Once we finished our walk, we left that area and made our way to Discovery Island next. This is the central hub of the Animal Kingdom, and the first thing we saw as we entered the area was the man-made Baobab tree or Tree of Life. The boys immediately informed me that they wanted to check it out, so we walked around it and inspected the marvelous images of various animal species that had been carved into its exterior. After that, we went inside to watch It's Tough to be a Bug, which is a 3D show based on the Pixar film A Bug's Life and features many of the same characters. It was entertaining, at least for those who didn't mind being surrounded by bugs, and when it ended we took off for our next destination.

I decided to take the boys for a walk around the trails next, so they'd have a chance to study the different animals residing in this area. As we walked along the trail, we saw storks, flamingos, cranes, macaws, vultures, otters, lemurs, and kangaroos.

"Man, we've sure seen a lot of animals today," Jamie stated.

"Yes, and I suppose it's why this place is called Animal Kingdom," I teased, which cause all of the boys to groan in response.

"It's been fun, but I'm getting' hungry and need something to eat," Dakota added.

"Yeah, me too," the others chimed in.

"We can stop to do that, but I'm glad the animals aren't as ravenous as you boys, or there might be fewer of us here now."

"Ha, ha. Very funny," Dakota mocked.

We quickly discussed where we were going to eat, and although I would have liked to go to Flame Tree Barbecue, the boys wanted pizza, so we went to Pizzafari instead. We each had a personal pizza, Caesar salad, and a beverage, along with a cannoli cake for dessert. I'll admit that I've eaten better pizza before, but the salad and dessert were very good, and the boys all seemed satisfied. I guess that's all that really mattered.

Now that we were all full, I felt we should take it easy for a while, so I took them back to Africa to watch a couple of shows.

"How come we're comin' back here?" Glen asked.

"There are a couple of shows that I think you'll enjoy, but they weren't being performed when we were here earlier.

The first one we went to was the Festival of Lion King, which is performed on a round stage and features both animatronics and live-action. I used the FastPass+ to ensure we would get in, and I was glad that I'd done it because the place was packed. The performers entered from all directions and moved through the audience as they made their way to the stage. Many of the actors were dressed in traditional native costumes, and a few were on stilts, so they appeared to be 15 feet [4.5 m] tall. The performance featured singing, dance, acrobatics, and aerial acts, which included the use of trampolines, high bars, rings, and a trapeze. It was totally fascinating from start to finish.

"Man, they sang a lot of the songs that was in the movie," Caleb pointed out.

"Yes, and they encouraged you to sing along if you knew the words.

"I knew Caleb was gonna like this, but I wasn't sure I would," Laine admitted, "but that was really good.

"Yeah, I thought it was gonna be lame too," Glen added, "but that was interestin'.

"I'm glad you all enjoyed it.

From there I took the boys to see the Harambe Village Acrobats. Just as the name implies, men dressed in native costumes performed multi-tiered acrobatic stunts that featured up to six individuals at a time. It was all done to a drum beat being pounded out by one of the men, and at the very end, the performers encouraged audience participation as they led them in a sort of dance routine.

"Damn, those guys must be really strong to do some of that stuff," Glen observed, and then Laine elbowed him. "Hey, what did ya do that for?"

"Remember what Dad said, so start usin' dang instead of damn.

"Sayin' damn isn't really bad," Glen challenged.

"Maybe not, but I'd prefer that you get used to using dang, especially when you're at school," I added in Laine's defense.

"Ok, I'll try."

***

From there, I led them over to get on board the narrow gauge Wildlife Express Train in order to reach Rafiki's Planet Watch next, since it's the only way to get there other than walking. It's in that area where we learned what we could do to protect different animal habitats and about various endangered species. We also got a chance to see how the Disney staff cared for the various animals, and there was also a petting zoo, but we didn't stay in that area for very long.

"So if the endangered animals die out, then they won't be around anymore?" Jamie asked.

"Yes, and it's why we don't see many animals today because they've become extinct. Some were due to natural reasons, like the wooly mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and dinosaurs, but others were due to things man has done. Those would include the dodo, the West African Black Rhino, the passenger pigeons, the Tasmanian tiger, and the Pyrenean Ibex, which was a wild goat.

"I hope that doesn't happen to the animals they told us about today.

"I hope that, as well."

We then took the train back to Africa before heading over to the Asia section next. As soon as we got there, I led the boys to Expedition Everest, a popular roller coaster that I'd used the FastPass+ on so we could skip the lines.

We started out by riding the coaster up the Himalayas, and once we reached the top, the real fun began as we descended down the winding track. We continue our descent until we reached a point where the track appeared twisted and mangled, which caused the roller coaster to come to a stop so it didn't plummet into the abyss. The cars then began to roll backward for about 30 seconds until they came to a stop at a spot where we were able to see a Yeti tearing up more track. The roller coaster then veered onto a side-track and continued the rapid descent down the mountainside, thus completing a very exciting ride that the boys thoroughly enjoyed.

"Whoa, that was wicked," Glen gushed.

"Yeah, it was one of the best roller coasters I've ever been on," Laine concurred.

"I'm glad I was ridin' with you," Caleb told me, "cuz, that was really scary."

We then headed over to the next ride, the Kali River Rapids. Before we got in line, I placed my phone, wallet, and the list of things to do today into one of the available lockers, because I'd read the warning that we'd get wet on this ride. When we reached the front of the line, we were all able to get on the same circular raft together, along with a few others, and then started our little adventure. Once we were all aboard, the raft began its ascent up the conveyer belt to the top of the 90-foot hill.

After reaching the top, I warned the boys to hold on to the circular bar in the middle of the raft because I'd heard people have actually fallen off the raft at various points. They did as I asked quickly, and then we started down the fast-moving river. Along the way we passed a waterfall, several geysers that shot water into the air, and a variety of interesting rock formations before we plunged down the final 30-foot drop. By this point we were all very wet from the geysers, but we got even wetter as we rode the rapids, but it helped to cool us down. We also got wet when water dripped on us as we passed through a cave, and again when we passed by a series of statues of elephants that were able to shoot water. Other guests controlled them, and I assume some of those people either knew or were related to others on our raft because they made sure we all got sprayed as we passed by.

"That was fun, but now I feel like I just peed myself," Jamie whined.

"Don't worry; it's really hot out, so we'll dry off quickly."

I used that opportunity to take them on the Maharajah Jungle Trek next, which was a series of trails through a jungle-like setting where we got to see animals indigenous to Asia. Along the way we got to see a komodo dragon, a couple of different species of tigers, a water buffalo, gibbons, bats, and several varieties of birds.

"Can that dragon breathe fire?" Caleb asked when he saw the Komodo dragon.

"No, it's not really a dragon, but was given that name because people thought it looked like one. It's actually the largest lizard on earth, and it can grow up to ten feet [3 m] in length."

"Do those tigers we saw kill and eat people?" Jamie asked after seeing the Siberian and Bengal tigers.

"They've been known to at times."

"Those monkeys were cute," Dakota stated, referring to the gibbons.

"They weren't monkeys. They're small apes."

"What's the difference?"

"Monkeys have tails, and apes don't. Gibbons are in the same group as chimpanzees, orangutans, and gorillas."

"Oh, I didn't know that."

We were still making our way around that area when the boys let me know they were hungry again. I was too, and we were also much drier now, so I agreed we'd get some food now. This time, however, I chose where we were going to eat dinner and took them to the Yak & Yeti. We ordered a variety of meals, such as the Teriyaki Beef Bowl, Honey Sesame Chicken, and Kobe Beef Cheeseburgers. We followed that up with Pineapple Upside-Down Cake topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce for dessert, and after we'd filled our bellies, I led them to the final area, DinoLand U.S.A.

The first ride we went on was called DINOSAUR, and as we waited in line, we studied the various displays that lined the area. This included Sue, a life-size casting of a Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton that was found in South Dakota and is 13 feet [4 m] tall and 40 feet [12 m] long. After we finally got on the ride, it started off in the dark as we traveled back in time. Eventually, we reached an assortment of lighted areas that featured a variety of animated dinosaurs, complete with audio animatronics. Some were very scary and loud, but they were all realistic and entertaining.

***

From there we went to ride on the Primeval Whirl next, which is a circular, spinning roller coaster. It is similar to other roller coasters in that it climbs up a steep slope at the start, but this car spun around as it navigated the sharp turns and stomach-churning dips.

"Wow, that was different," Glen observed.

"Yeah, I didn't know a roller coaster could spin around like that," Jamie added.

"It was certainly unusual, and it's also the last of the rides for today," I informed them.

Even though it was getting late, the boys weren't ready to call it quits just yet. "Can't we go on one of the other rides again before we leave?" they collectively whined.

"I suppose we might be able to fit in one more ride, but we'll have to wait in line so we won't have time to do more than that, so which one do you want to go on again?"

After talking it over, the boys agreed to return to Expedition Everest, and they were chatting excitedly as we made our way to the Asia section again. They'd obviously enjoyed the ride the first time they were on it, and the line wasn't as bad as I'd feared, although it would still be our final ride. I urged the boys to enjoy it while it lasted, which they did, and I must admit that it is definitely one of the most under-rated attractions at Disney World.

"Thanks for letting us do this again," they announced as we were getting off.

"You're welcome, but let's get going so we don't miss the bus back."

We hurried over to the area where we would catch our ride to the resort, and as we made our way there, the boys were busy talking about the things they liked the most about today.

"I liked that last roller coaster best," Laine told the others, meaning Expedition Everest.

"Yeah, that was really good, but I liked the one that spun us around too," Dakota followed, meaning the Primeval Whirl. "It made it more fun spinning around in circles like that.

"I liked the boat ride that we got wet on," Caleb added, referring to the Kali River Rapids. "I was really hot and that helped to cool me off."

"I liked the Flight of Passage ride where we flew over Pandora," Glen offered. "I know it was just a simulation, but it felt real, and I loved the things we saw as we did it."

"I liked all of it, even when we were ridin' around looking at all the animals," Jamie chimed in, indicating the Kilimanjaro Safari.

"I agree it was all wonderful, and as soon as we get back to the villa, I want each of you to shower quickly and then get in bed. We've got another big day ahead of us tomorrow.

No one argued with me, and I assumed it was because they were all tired from doing so much walking, so when the bus reached the resort, we hopped off and went directly to our villa. Jamie and Caleb wanted me to wash them again, but I made sure they both understood I wasn't going to suck them off again before I agreed. Caleb whined for a while and pleaded with me to do it for him, but I didn't give in. After they agreed to my condition, I washed them both and then sent them off to hop in bed.

Dakota joined me in the shower after they left, and we washed each other quickly, and then he asked me to make love to him. I was a little hesitant because I was so tired, but eventually I gave in and did what he wanted. We had to jump in the shower again afterward, and before we got back into bed I went to make sure the other boys were in bed first. I peeked into their room and didn't see any movement or hear any noise, so I returned to my room and got in bed with Dakota. Sometime later, I heard someone enter our bedroom, and when I looked around I saw Caleb walking toward me, and Jamie was right behind him.

"What's wrong?" I asked as I sat up.

"Jamie peed in my mouth," Caleb whined.

"He did what?"

"Dad, let me explain," Jamie offered. "Caleb wanted us to suck each other off, but he wanted to wait until Glen and Laine were asleep first. After I sucked on his cock, he wanted to do it to me, and I forgot he didn't know what to expect, and I kinda cummed in his mouth.

"Ah, that explains it. Caleb, Jamie didn't pee in your mouth, and it was something called semen, not urine. That's a liquid that comes out of your penis during sex, and it's what makes a girl have a baby if you shoot it inside her.

"Is it gonna make me sick, or will I have a baby now, cuz I swallowed some of it?"

"No, neither of those things will happen, and boys can't have babies. If you remember when I sucked on Jamie's penis last night, he did the same thing to me.

"So, you swallowed that stuff?"

"Yes, I did, and it didn't hurt me. In fact, I usually swallow it when I suck off someone else."

"Then how come I don't do that?"

"You're still too young, but it will happen when you get older. Your penis will get bigger first, and you'll also get some hair around it like the other boys, and then you will start shooting that stuff too. In fact, it will probably happen sometime in the next year or two."

"Ok, then I'm not mad at Jamie no more."

"Good, then why don't you two go get back in bed."

"Ok, but can me and Jamie sleep with you tomorrow night?"

I looked at Dakota before I answered, and when he gave me a slight nod in response, I answered Caleb. "Ok, I suppose you can sleep in here with me tomorrow, but only if you get into bed right now."

They both raced off, so I looked over at Dakota. "Are you sure you're ok with that?"

"Yeah, and I'll just do somethin' with Laine and Glen tomorrow night."

"Thank you for being so understanding about this," I told him, and then we cuddled together as we fell asleep.

Chapter 37
Epcot

We all slept in a little later on Sunday morning because I knew we'd be staying longer at Epcot this evening. Once I got the boys up and dressed, I grabbed the list I'd made for today's activities, folded it, and placed it in my pocket. I then made sure the boys had all applied generous amounts of sunscreen to their bodies before we went out for breakfast. As soon as we finished eating, we hurried over to catch the bus to our next destination.

Although I realized we could have spent multiple days at Epcot, our schedule didn't allow us the luxury to do that, so I took them on a whirlwind tour of the various areas I thought they'd enjoy the most.

We started off in Future World and headed for a ride called Soarin' Around the World. Since we were among the first ones there, we didn't have long to wait before we were watching a short introductory film. Once that ended, we were led to another simulation ride, but this time the seats we were riding on lifted us into the air and made the experience feel similar to hang gliding around the world.

As the scene opened, we found ourselves breaking through the cloud cover over the Alps, and then, a few moments late,r we were swooping down toward a couple of polar bears roaming the arctic tundra. We followed that up with soaring over sailboats on our way to the Sydney Harbor Bridge, and then we flew over elephants on our way to Mount Kilimanjaro. We followed that up by gliding over the Great Wall of China, sailing past the pyramids in Egypt, and lazily drifting toward the Taj Mahal in India. We then found ourselves floating over the Monument Valley in the southwest U.S., gliding over a tropical island, and soaring past Iguazu Falls in South America. After floating above Paris and drifting past the Eiffel Tower, both of which were lit up at night, our journey came to an end. I know the order of what we were seeing didn't make sense, but it was a thrilling adventure with many wonderful sights.

"That was really interesting, and I recognized a bunch of those places," Laine said once the ride ended.

"And it was like flyin' around without bein' in a plane," Caleb added.

"Yes, it certainly was," I agreed.

"Where are we goin' next?" Dakota followed.

"We're going to that building over there," I answered while pointing in the same direction.

"You mean the giant golf ball?" Jamie followed.

"Actually, it's called a geodesic sphere, and I certainly wouldn't want to run into any guy who could play golf with a ball that big!"

"Yeah, he'd be a giant," Caleb agreed.

"What are we gonna do there?" Glen asked.

"We're going on a ride called Spaceship Earth."

"What's that like?

"You'll see when we get there."

Before long, we were loading into four-person vehicles, each with two rows that seated two persons. Jamie rode with me, and Caleb rode with his brother in the row behind us, while Dakota and Glen got in the next vehicle. The ride began with us moving down a dark tunnel with tiny stars twinkling above us, and this continued until we reached the first illuminated area. We started out in the Stone Age and then progressed through time while witnessing the lengthy history of communication, which included some of the most important advances for mankind.

It began with the creation of the earliest languages, the first attempts at writing, and the formulation of mathematical principles, along with the use of music and art as additional forms of communication. We also witnessed the invention of important devices, which included the printing press, the telegraph, the radio, the telephone, cinema, and television. From there we advanced to the age of computers and space travel, which brought with it a myriad of possibilities that period unlocked.

Before the ride ended, we were instructed to use the touch screen in our vehicle to answer a few questions, and those were then used to develop a possible future for us. We then watched a short-animated representation of what that future might look like as it appeared on the screen, and as we exited the ride, Dakota came up to me and spoke.

"That was sorta slow, and it was really dark most of the time, but it was still kinda interesting."

"Yeah, I liked what they said my future was gonna be like," Glen quickly added.

"And I recognized most of the stuff we saw on that ride from working with the software on the computer," Laine confessed.

"I'm glad you were able to put it all together," I confirmed.

I then explained something else to them before we went to the next area. "That ride took us from the past and up to the present, and it even gave us a glimpse of our future, but the next ride will definitely take us into the future. We're going to Mission: Space next and we'll become part of a crew heading to Mars. There are two versions of this ride, though, so I need to ask you a question. Do you boys want to go on the original version, which is the green ride that doesn't spin, or the orange ride that spins and they claim is more intense?"

"The Orange ride!" they all screamed in response.

"That's fine with me, but I have to warn you about something first. I hope none of you have a weak stomach or suffer from motion sickness because they warn that the orange ride might cause some of you to experience one of those problems. If that happens it might even cause you to vomit before the ride is over.

"Nah, we're not gonna barf," Glen challenged.

"Do you all feel confident that it's not going to happen?" I followed, and then I watched as they all nodded that they did. "Ok, but just remember to grab one of the air sickness bags if you start feeling queasy."

They all promised they would, so we made our way there. Before we arrived, I made sure we'd all used the restroom first, because I didn't want any accidents due to having full bladders either. I'd used the FastPass+ on this ride as well, so we were able to bypass the long line. When we got to the front we were asked if we wanted the ride with spin or no spin, and we all chose spin and were handed orange launch tickets before proceeding.

Each capsule is designed for a crew of four: which includes a group commander, a pilot, a navigator, and an engineer, so we each had to fill one of those roles. The boys told me to be the flight commander, and then Dakota became the pilot, Jamie the navigator, and Caleb the engineer in our capsule. Glen and Laine went on with two other guests in another capsule, so I wasn't sure which jobs they might have.

Centrifuges are used to spin the capsule around to simulate a 2.5 G- force, but since you can't see outside of the capsule, you don't feel as if you're actually spinning, but you do experience the G-force. The visual displays in the capsule also helped to make us feel like we were really blasting off because they made it appear as if we were rising up through the clouds. We were also able to observe the earth rotating below us on another screen, and before long, we were able to see that we were getting closer to the moon. We eventually reached it and used the moon to slingshot toward Mars, and as we emerged from the dark side of the moon, we could see the tiny shape of the earth in the blackness of space behind us.

During the flight, we also had to navigate past some asteroids before reaching Mars, and I wasn't sure if this was realistic. The asteroid belt is located between Mars and Jupiter, not Mars and Earth, so I don't believe we should've encountered anything like this. However, once we got past that obstacle, we arrived at Mars and flew over the surface of the planet. We were also required to make some very tricky maneuvers to avoid crashing, but eventually we landed on the newly constructed runway. We almost weren't able to stop in time and nearly plummeted into a chasm at the end of the runway, but we were able to avoid that fate. Overall, it was a successful mission, and no one suffered from motion sickness, at least not in our capsule.

When the ride ended, we went to meet up with the other pair and quickly discovered that their mission had gone much the same as ours.

"That was freakin' awesome," Laine commented, obviously trying to tame his language. "I wouldn't mind being an astronaut.

"Then study hard in school, especially in your math and science classes, and you just might end up doing that."

"Do astronauts get that feeling as I did? It felt like someone was sittin' on me when we was takin' off?" Jamie followed.

"Yes, that happens due to the amount of force it takes to break free of the earth's gravitational pull."

"It was awesome how we got to see the moon up close and the earth when it was really small behind us," Caleb added.

"And I had a blast bein' the pilot," Dakota announced gleefully.

"I wish I could have been the pilot," Glen groused, "but I was the navigator."

"Yeah, we played rock, paper, scissors to see who got the different jobs," Laine explained. "I was the commander.

"So was Dad," Jamie replied, "and I was the navigator, and Caleb was the engineer."

***

Now that the boys had shared their experiences, I took them to Club Cool next. It's an air-conditioned area in one of the shops that let you try various Coca Cola products from around the world using self-serve dispensers. We sampled all of the international flavors, and in the end, we agreed that we liked two of them the best. The first was Inca Cola from Peru, which tasted like bubblegum, and the second was Sparletta from South Africa, which is a raspberry cream soda. We liked most of the other flavors as well, except for the Italian drink called Beverly, which we all found to be quite bitter.

From there, I took them to the Test Track, and we used the FastPass+ to skip the line again. This time the boys and I were led through the rigorous testing procedures that General Motors uses when it designs a new concept car because we were designing our own car. After we finished, we then boarded a six-passenger slot car to see how our design would handle during a high-speed drive on the test track, and I believe this quickly became one of the boys' favorite rides.

"That was a total blast," Jamie stated once the ride ended, "but I'm glad you don't drive that fast."

"That's why there are speed limits on the highways, so people don't drive that way."

"I bet you could do it on the Autobahn in Germany," Glen countered.

"Yes, that's probably true seeing they don't have any speed limits there, but I wouldn't want to drive that fast with other traffic around."

Once we finished up there, I took them to the Electric Umbrella for lunch. Each of us ordered a sandwich or burger this time, along with fries or a salad, and then we had Red Velvet Cake for dessert. It was all quite good and reasonably priced.

Now that our bellies were full, we headed out to tour the different pavilions at the World Showcase next. We started out at the Mexico Pavilion, which is shaped like a Mayan pyramid, and since we had just eaten, I took them on the Grand Fiesta Tour first. It's a musical boat ride that features the Disney characters The Three Caballeros, and it explores the sights and sounds that represent the Mexican heritage. It does this through the use of animatronics set up along the route, as well as traditional animation and live-action clips that are shown on the large screens scattered along the way. It was a fun and relaxing attraction that gave our meals a chance to settle.

We also stopped to listen to the Mariachi Cobre play some traditional Mexican music, but the boys were eager to move on to the next attraction, so we didn't stay there for very long.

From there we made our way to the Norway Pavilion, and the first thing we saw as we entered was the Stave Church. It's a large stone structure that is modeled after 13th-century churches that had been constructed in Norway, and it is quite lovely. You can also go inside and investigate the exhibits that are housed there. The boys also enjoyed seeing the cast dressed in traditional outfits called Bunad and consist of red vests, white shirts, and dark skirts or pants.

From there, we went to the Frozen Ever After ride, which is another boat ride, but this one is based on the movie Frozen. It also featured animatronics and animation and proved to be another enjoyable and relaxing ride.

"That was like the other boat ride, but there was different stuff to see this time," Jamie stated when it ended.

"Yeah, but it was still fun," Caleb chimed in.

Our next stop was at the China Pavilion, which we entered through a large, Chinese gate, and behind it stood a replica of the Temple of Heaven. It was only half the size of the original, but when we entered it, we were overwhelmed by the amazing artwork, vibrant colors, and elaborate detail in its construction. We also got a chance to look at the Tomb Warriors, which are also located there, and they're life-size versions of the Terracotta Army that was discovered in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. Each one is uniquely sculpted to resemble one of the warriors in the Emperor's army so they would be able to protect him in the afterlife.

The main attraction at this pavilion is a film titled Reflections of China. It's shown in an air-conditioned 360-degree theater that is standing room only, and it gives you a glimpse into China's rich history and traditions. It includes some incredible shots of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City, along with many other wonderful scenes from around the country. Shortly after we emerged from seeing the film, we were happy to discover the Jeweled Dragon Acrobats were about to perform outside the Temple, so we stopped to watch them next.

The show started with several young ladies dressed in elaborately decorated costumes, one pink and the others royal blue, and they danced while whirling multi-colored banners around in each hand. They were followed by three young men dressed in similar costumes, one in black and the other two in royal blue, and they each carried flags that they waved about and twirled around like batons. They all joined up to perform various acrobatic stunts that included human pyramids, balancing acts, and spectacular leaps.

One of the men in royal blue came out and did a variety of routines using three to ten wooden blocks that he juggled and performed different stunts. When he finished, the males in black and females in pink came out and performed a separate balancing and strength routine.

"Man, I couldn't believe that some of the girls were holding up the guys when they did some of those tricks too," Glen stated.

"Yes, they're definitely stronger than they look."

Our next stop was at the Germany Pavilion, and we started walking around and checking out the various buildings first. It was designed like a small German village, but the structures represented different regions and periods in German history, along with a castle wall. They were all magnificently detailed, and it gave us the impression of being in an actual Bavarian town. In the main square stood a replica of a statue showing St. George slaying a dragon, and behind it stood an impressive clock tower. At the top of every hour, a figurine of a boy and a girl would come out on the little balcony to ring the bell, and it was quite charming.

While we were walking around the pavilion, we passed a cart selling soft pretzels, so I stopped and bought one for each of us. As we were enjoying that little treat, we continued walking around, but then we stopped briefly when we came across a musical group playing traditional German songs. The boys grew tired of this quite quickly, so we continued to look around, and that's when we came upon a miniature village with a model train in the courtyard. There was a path that allowed you to walk over a little viaduct above the train tracks so you could inspect the display up close. The boys were totally fascinated watching the train travel around as it passed by the appropriately sized buildings, so we ended up spending quite a bit of time there.

"Wow, this is neat, and I like how they have it set up," Jamie stated after watching it for a few minutes.

"And I like the town and small buildings," Caleb offered. "And I like how they have little trees all around there too."

"I could play with something like this for hours," Laine added. "I sure wish I had something like this when I was younger."

After spending some more time there, I took the boys to the Karamell-Kuche, a candy shop that features a variety of caramel treats. After we looked at the different items for sale, I bought everyone a caramel apple. I felt between that and the pretzel we had earlier it should hold the boys over so we could have a late dinner. Shortly after we ate the caramel apples, we also stopped to have a drink. After I bought the boys what they wanted, I decided to try a German beer and I'm glad I did.

***

The Italy Pavilion was next on our route, and just like the German Pavilion, the architecture represented the various Italian regions, even though it was heavily tilted toward Venice and notably light on Rome. After passing through two large columns, one dedicated to St. Mark and the other to St. Theodore, the patron saint of Venice, we entered St. Mark's square. There was a recreation of the Doge's Palace on the left and St. Mark's Campanile, or bell tower, on the right. As we walked over the Ponte della Paglia, a recreation of a bridge in Venice, we were able to see the brightly colored gondolas in the lagoon.

"Can we ride on those?" Jamie asked.

"Unfortunately, we can't. They're just for show."

From there, we went to see Neptune's Fountain, which was inspired by the Trevi Fountain in Rome, and one of the shops was designed to resemble the exterior of the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican. During that time, we also happened to run across Sergio, a comedian, and juggler who performs several times each day. He likes to involve the kids in the crowd in his performance, and at one point, he juggled five soccer balls at the same time, but otherwise it was a lackluster show. However, I immediately knew I was in trouble when the boys spotted the Via Napoli Pizzeria e Ristorante.

"Hey, let's have pizza," they all begged in unison.

"We've eaten enough pizza already."

"Come on, we like pizza," they continued.

"What if I compromised with you? I'll order a pizza so you can each have a slice, and we'll get a drink to go with it, but we're not eating an entire meal here."

They accepted my offer and seemed happy with it, so we went inside and ordered. The pizza was cooked in a large, brick, wood-fired oven and was much better than the ones we had at Pizzafari. When we finished, we got up and left to go to the next pavilion.

"I'm surprised there wasn't a model of the Colosseum here," Laine said as we were walking away.

"Yes, I agree, and I also expected to see a replica of the Roman Forum or the ruins of Pompeii there as well.

From there we headed over to the American Pavilion and entered the colonial style, three-story building. Once inside, we began to check out the many paintings and statues that were there, along with the various inscriptions of quotes from famous Americans. After that we listened to the acapella vocal group, Voices of Liberty, and as soon as they finished their performance, we made our way to the theater to watch The American Adventure. It's a half-hour show that features an audio, animatronic, and visual tour through American history.

"It was kind of neat to see that, cuz it helped me to understand better some of the stuff that I'd learned in school and when workin' with the software on the computer," Laine told me as we were leaving.

"I hope the others got as much out of it as you did," I replied.

From there, we headed to the Japan Pavilion next, and the first thing we saw there was the Torii Gate, which stood beside the lagoon. It's a replica of an identical gate near Hiroshima, and these types of gates are most commonly found at the entrance to a Shinto shrine. From there our eyes were drawn to the five-tier Buddhist style pagoda, and we headed there because we could hear Matsuriza, or traditional Taiko drummers, starting their show. After listening to them for a while, we went to see the replica of a Japanese castle, complete with moat, but we were disappointed to discover the interior housed a large shop. We also checked out some of the Japanese gardens before we left, but there was a lot left to see, and time was passing by quickly.

Since I knew we were running short on time, we skipped the Morocco Pavilion and went to the France Pavilion instead. When we entered it, we passed by a lovely fountain and began our tour to see what else was there. As we walked along, Laine asked a question.

"Is that s'posed to be what it looks like in France?"

"Yes, this is meant to resemble a typical Parisian street, and you can see the replica of the Eiffel Tower in the background, although it's only about a tenth of the actual size."

As we walked around, we eventually came to a building with a stone tower and a sign above it that read, L'Artisan des Glaces, so I told the boys we were going to stop there and go inside.

"Why, what is this place?" Jamie asked.

"They sell freshly made ice cream and sorbet, so I thought you might like some since it's so hot out."

"Yeah, that sounds good," they all basically agreed.

Once we finished our ice cream, we came out of the shop, and I saw something else that I'd read about. It was a two-man acrobatic group, Serveur Amusant, with one dressed as a chef and the other a waiter. The waiter was the one who performed acrobatic stunts using chairs and a very large champagne bottle, and it all took place outdoors and turned out to be very entertaining.

"Man, he was good," Dakota said when it ended.

"It's got to be tough just doin' that stuff on the ground and even harder doin' it like he was," Glen agreed.

"Yes, and this is something you might see occurring on the street in France as well."

Once that performance ended, I took them to see Impressions de France next, which is the main attraction there. It's a panoramic film that is shown in an air-conditioned theater and gives you a brief but wonderful and breathtaking tour of France. It was kind of sad when it came to the scenes of Notre Dame Cathedral because it's going to take years to restore the building after the tragic fire.

"That was neat, and I didn't know there were castles in France," Jamie stated on the way out.

"And palaces too," Laine chimed in. "Someday I hope to go there and see some of those places."

"I hope you all get that chance to do that someday," I concurred.

When we left the France Pavilion, we crossed over a bridge that was based on a bridge in France that runs over the Seine. Once we got to the other side, we entered the United Kingdom Pavilion, and this is where I planned to stop and have dinner. I knew the boys all liked fish and chips, so we headed over to the Yorkshire County Fish Shop and enjoyed a very tasty and filling meal. We followed that up with Victoria Sponge Cake that was filled with jam and buttercream, and as we ate, we listened to Quickstep, a four-member acoustic group that played Celtic music. Although it wasn't the type of music the boys usually listened to, they still seemed to enjoy it.

Since they were so good about listening to that band, I led them over to a small bandstand where we listened to another group next, British Revolution. This band played rock music that was made famous by several other British rock groups, and it was very entertaining.

"This is a lot better than the last group, cuz they're playin' rock music," Dakota stated.

"Yes, I knew you'd enjoy this more."

We stayed there for a while longer as we digested our meal, but eventually I felt it was time to lead them on a tour of the grounds. The detail in the construction of the buildings was exquisite, and just like some of the other pavilions, the structures here represented the various regions of the U.K. and different periods in British history. I explained much of this to the boys as we walked along so they would appreciate what they were seeing. The gardens were also very beautiful and well-manicured, and they varied from one area to the next.

"So, the buildings went from Shakespeare's house to Henry VIII's favorite palace, and then to Buckingham Palace where Queen Elizabeth lives?" Laine stated after seeing everything.

"Yes, along with a few other structures," I confirmed.

"I didn't think I would like seein' stuff like that, but it was pretty neat," Glen confessed.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it."

I was planning to take them to the Canada Pavilion next, but it was getting dark, and I knew the next attraction would be starting soon, so we wouldn't have time to do that. I told the boys to follow me, and I led them to the World Showcase Lagoon where we watched the final show of the day, IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.

This is a fireworks and laser light show that also uses pyrotechnics, searchlights, and high spraying fountains to enhance the overall presentation. The show is meant to represent the evolution of the earth through various stages, and it begins with Chaos or the fiery creation of the earth. This is illustrated by flames shooting up from the Inferno Barge, and then fireworks explode in the air as a large, lighted globe of the earth appears in the background. The show then moves on to Order, or the cooling of the earth, which is represented by water shooting into the air from the fountain barges, highlighted by the use of lasers, spotlights, and even more fireworks. The final act, Meaning, signifies our bright future and is portrayed when the globe opens up to reveal the huge unity torch as an enormous fireworks finale lights up the nighttime sky.

"Wow, that was incredible," Dakota gasped as the last of the fireworks faded into the darkness.

"Yeah, it was really good," Jamie added.

"I'm sure glad I got to see it," Caleb followed while grinning from ear-to-ear.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it because I understand this particular show will end for good in another month.

"You mean they're not gonna do this no more?" Glen asked.

"No, they're not, but a different show will replace it and will be just as spectacular.

"At least there will still be something like this for the other people to watch," Laine observed.

I then urged the boys to follow me as I led them to the area where we were going to catch the bus back to the resort. It had been a long and tiring day.

***

It was late by the time we returned to the villa, so I urged the boys to shower quickly and then get some sleep. I had no illusions about what the boys might do between their showers and going to sleep because the pair with me had their plans as well. Jamie and Caleb wanted me to wash them first before they washed me, and then they wanted me to suck them off.

"Do you want to do it here in the shower or in bed?

"In bed," they both squealed back.

I didn't have a problem with that, so after we'd all dried off, we headed into the bedroom for a little fun. Both boys quickly hopped on the mattress, laid down, and spread their legs to make room for me. I just needed to ask something else before we got started.

"Who's going first this time?" I asked.

"Caleb can," Jamie quickly offered.

"Yeah, do it to me," Caleb quickly agreed.

I worked on Caleb's scrotum first, and then I lifted his legs and attacked his butt next. After rimming him and eliciting a few moans and giggles, I lowered his legs and attacked is penis next. It didn't take very long before his body shivered in delight, which let me know he'd just enjoyed his dry orgasm.

As soon as I finished with Caleb, I moved over and did the same thing to Jamie. I attacked his scrotum first before rimming him as well, but then I had to work on Jamie's penis a little longer than I had Caleb's, but eventually I earned my reward, and he fired his sweet load into my mouth. Now that both boys had been taken care of, I crawled between them, pulled each of them against my body, and we fell asleep.

Chapter 38
Typhoon Lagoon

The following morning, I woke the boys and had them get ready for the day. I told each of them to wear their swimsuit, a tee-shirt, and flip-flops this time, and then I had each of them apply copious amounts of sunscreen to their bodies. Before we left the villa, I also gave them another warning.

"You might want to leave your hats and sunglasses here because they'll just cause problems for you today.

"Why?" Jamie asked.

"First of all, you won't want to wear your hats when you're in the water, and you'd probably end up leaving them in a locker anyway. You'll also have to hang on to your sunglasses when you're on the rides so they don't fly off because you'd probably lose them if that happened.

"Oh, ok. I see, so I'll just leave them here.

"Yeah, so will I," the others agreed.

After I took them out for breakfast, we headed over to catch the bus to Typhoon Lagoon, because we were going to spend the day having fun at the water park. When we arrived there, the first thing I did was to rent a locker for my phone and wallet, since I didn't want either of those items to get wet.

"You boys will probably want to leave your tee-shirts in the locker too because no one will be wearing shirts on the rides. You can also put your flip-flops in the locker, or you can just hold on to them when you go on the rides. I'll leave it up to you.

"Won't it be hot on our feet if we walk around barefoot?" Caleb asked.

"It may be, but I believe nearly everyone else will be going around barefoot as well."

That was enough to convince them, so we all put our footwear in the locker before heading off. The 'back story' behind this park is that it was supposedly a tropical resort that was struck by a vicious typhoon that did a great deal of damage. That's why we saw damaged boats of all shapes and sizes, broken surfboards, and other items scattered about to remind you about what had happened. We had a bit of a walk to get to the first attraction on my list, and on the way there, we passed another attraction and got sidetracked.

"Hey, that's got waves just like the ocean," Glen observed.

"Yes, they're generated by a machine, and the park actually gives surf lessons if you're interested. It's called the Surf Pool, but most of the time, you can just wade out in the water and let the waves crash into your body, just like at the beach. Would you like to try that?

"Yeah, I guess we can do it for a little while, but I mostly wanna go on the rides," Glen relented.

"We don't have to stay long, so just wade out as far as you want until the next wave forms and starts moving toward you. The farther out you go, the more forcefully it will hit your body, and it will probably carry you a little way back in this direction before it passes by or dies out.

The more adventurous boys went a long way out into the pool, while Jamie and Caleb only ventured out a short distance. I stayed with them as the first wave hit and temporarily knocked them off balance, but they quickly righted themselves and got ready for the next wave to hit. As they gained more and more confidence, they continued to move farther out in the water until they eventually reached the other boys. After that, they all enjoyed riding the waves for as long as they could.

"That was more fun than I thought it was gonna be," Glen admitted, "but now I'm ready to see what else there is to do here."

I took them to Keelhaul Falls next so that they could ride on the single-person tube slide. It was a very smooth ride that spiraled down a hill, under a waterfall, and through a cave before emptying into a small pool.

"That was fun, but I wanna do somethin' more exciting," Dakota stated.

"Be patient, grasshopper. We have all day to do this, and there are many other things to try. I brought you here first to give you all a chance to get used to what it's going to be like before taking you on the other rides.

"Ok, but let's do somethin' else now."

From there, we went to Gangplank Falls to ride in a four-person raft, although they allow between two to four persons to use them. The only drawback was that we had to carry the raft up to where the ride started, so I carried one raft while Laine and Glen agreed to carry the other one. Jamie and Caleb rode in the raft with me, and then Laine, Glen, and Dakota shared the other raft. This ride was a little more intense than the last one as we spun through the rapids and got drenched when passing under a waterfall.

"That was more like it," Dakota offered when the ride ended, but I hope there are other rides that are even more exciting.

"You'll just have to wait and see."

From there, we went to Mayday Falls, which was easy to locate because Miss Tilly, an old fishing boat, sits perched atop Mount Mayday. It was another of those unfortunate vessels that got caught up in the typhoon and was relocated to a new home. Mayday Falls is also the last area with a tube slide, but it's also the most intense. It's another single-person tube ride and the highest and longest of the three.

"Make sure you hang on to the handles on this tube, because it's the most intense of the three tube rides. You will go through some rapids along the way, so hang on, so you don't get tossed off. Make sure you do the same thing at the bottom as well, or you might get flipped off before you're ready.

They were all excited about doing this, although Caleb was showing a bit of trepidation about going alone. Seeing this, I gave him a little pep talk before he took his turn.

"You'll be fine, as long as you remember to hang on to the handles."

"Will you come down next, in case I have a problem?"

"Of course, so just relax and have fun."

He went down in his tube alone after our conversation, and he was all smiles when I reached the bottom after him.

"I did it and didn't fall off," he crowed.

"Did you enjoy it?

"Yeah, it was fun."

I was glad that I had let him work up to this ride gradually by going on the tamer rides first, but now it was time to leave the tubes and rafts and try something different.

"Are you boys ready to try the body slides now?"

"Are they different from what we've been doin'?" Caleb wondered.

"Yes, the rides we've been on we used rafts or tubes, but the body slides don't use either of those. You merely lay back and slid down on your butt, like on a playground slide, but this one has water flowing down it."

"Yeah, let's do that then."

We went to the Storm slides area next, which has three different body slides that allow you to descend down a three-story drop on a twisting slide before entering the splash pool at the bottom. I took them on one of the outer slides first, which was totally open and quite thrilling. Seeing there were three different body slides, the boys wanted to try each of them, so I took them to the slide on the other end next. It was very similar to the one we were just on, and the boys enjoyed going down it as well, but I had to offer them a warning before we went on the last one.

"A portion of the middle slide is totally enclosed and will leave you in total darkness for a considerable amount of time, so if you have a problem with this, I suggest you go on one of the other slides again. So, do any of you want to go on one of the other slides instead?"

I didn't think they would have a problem with this, seeing they had been in other enclosed spaces at Animal Kingdom and Epcot, but I wanted to give them the choice. As I looked around, the boys were all shaking their heads that they weren't about to back out, except for Caleb, so I decided to pull him aside so I could speak with him in private.

"What do you think? Do you want to try this or go on one of the other slides again?" I asked before we got in line.

"I'll try it, as long as Laine goes ahead of me, and you come down behind me.

"Ok, we can do that."

I quickly got Laine to agree to do this, and Caleb actually handled the ride very well. In fact, he liked it so much that he was eager to try it again, so we all got back in line to do it a second time. When we all reached the bottom again, Laine looked at me and asked a question.

"Ok, what's next?"

"We're going on Humunga Kowabunga next. It's another body slide, but it has a five-story drop, instead of a three-story drop like the last one. It's also a totally enclosed speed slide, but I think you'll all do fine since you did all right on the last one."

"What's it mean when you say totally enclosed?" Glen asked.

"It means you'll be sliding in a tube the entire way this time, not just part of the time. There will be no open areas, like on the last three body slides.

Now that they understood, I pulled Caleb aside again. "Are you sure you're ok with this?

"Yeah, but I want you to go first this time, so you'll be at the bottom when I get there."

"Ok, I can do that."

Once again, there were three different slides in this area, and I was relieved once we'd all gone down the first slide. Caleb didn't appear to have a problem with it, so I hoped he would do just as well on the other two because just like before, the boys felt they had to try each one. After we'd gone down all three, I decided to ask them another question.

"Ok, what do you want to do next? Is there a ride that you want to try again, or are you ready to move on?

"I gotta pee," Jamie informed me.

"And I'm ready to eat," Glen followed, "and you don't need to say I'm always ready to eat this time.

"I won't so let's head over to the restroom first, and then we'll grab some lunch before we continue."

***

After we'd emptied our bladders and washed our hands, I led the boys to Leaning Palms for lunch. It was easy to spot, seeing it had a large wooden tower in front that was leaning slightly to one side, another victim of the typhoon. After looking over the menu, the boys ordered a variety of items that mostly included sandwiches, chicken nuggets, and pizza, and they all ordered a shake to go with it. I went with the Island Crunch Chicken Sandwich with apple slices on the side, and I washed it down with a pineapple shake.

As soon as we finished our meals, I decided to take the boys on something gentle next, so I led them down to Castaway Creek to take a relaxing ride in an inner tube. The creek circles the entire park and is 2,100 feet [640 m] in length and is continuously flowing. You have a choice of two sizes of inner tubes, a large one for adults, and a smaller version for children, and as soon as the boys and I had each selected one, we climbed on it and traveled along on the creek as a group. We didn't go all the way around the park, though, and only rode it three-quarters of the way and stopped when we reached the location of the next attraction I was taking them on. After making sure all of the boys saw that I was getting out, they did the same, and we headed to Miss Adventure Falls next.

"I hope this ride is more exciting than the one we were just on," Glen grumbled after we got off the inner tubes.

"We always do something mild after we eat, but I'm sure you'll enjoy this one, even if it isn't quite as exciting as Expedition Everest," I teased.

Miss Adventure Falls is a family raft ride, but unfortunately, the raft only seats four comfortably, so we split into two groups of three. I let the boys talk it over to see who would go with whom, and I was mildly surprised when I discovered Laine and Caleb would be riding with me. I didn't have a problem with this – I was merely a little surprised that Jamie or Dakota hadn't insisted on going with me.

Once we'd all loaded into our rafts, it was pushed onto a conveyer belt that took us to the top of the mountain. Along the way, we passed an animatronic talking parrot that had set up shop in another ship that was damaged by the typhoon. The parrot was quite entertaining, and I think we all got a kick out of it, and when our raft reached the top, it entered the water, and we started the trip down the mountainside. The ride was partially enclosed and partially open, and along the way, we passed a very interesting looking sight. It was a huge head from either a Mayan or Aztec statue that now rested in the crook of a partially destroyed tree. Apparently, both of those items had been damaged in the typhoon and were now joined together in an unusual and interesting relationship. Shortly after we passed by that area, we got wet when our raft traveled under a fountain that was leaning over the slide, and overall the ride turned out to be both enjoyable and exciting.

"Can we do it again?" Dakota asked as soon as we had all reached the bottom.

"That depends. Do you all want to do it again?"

"Yeah, that was fun," they basically agreed.

"Ok, then are we going in the same groups this time, or do you want to do it with different people this time?"

For the next couple of minutes, there was some minor arguing over who was going with me; that was until Laine offered a solution.

"What if me and Caleb go on one of the rafts by ourselves, and then the rest of you can go with Dad.

"Caleb, is that ok with you?" I followed to make sure he agreed with his brother.

"Yeah, it's only fair, seeing we went with you the last time."

"Ok, then let's do that."

Once again, we got in line and were eventually able to load into the rafts before riding up the conveyer belt and taking another exciting ride to the bottom. Once we'd all reached the splash pool again, I led them over to the next area, the Crush 'N' Gusher.

"Is this a body or raft slide?" Laine asked as we were walking there.

"Actually, it's something they refer to as a water coaster. It's similar to a roller coaster, except instead of riding in a car on a set of tracks, you ride in a raft that is swept along by rushing water."

"Ok, that sounds like fun."

Once again, there were three different water coasters, and each one was approximately 400 feet [122 m] long. Two of them required two riders at a time, while the other one used single-person rafts only. We went on one of the two-person rafts first, and I let the boys choose who they wanted to go with. Caleb immediately announced that he wanted to go with me, and then the other four quickly paired off after that. It was easy to tell that everyone was eager to see what this ride was going to be like.

It turned out to be a very thrilling ride, with sharp turns and sudden drops along the way, and after you went down a drop, they used a combination of water and rollers to help the raft get up the next slope. I soon discovered that the rollers were quite hard and a little rough on my bottom, but none of the boys mentioned this fact to me when the ride ended. Possibly, it was due to my increased size and weight that lowered me onto the rollers and made it more uncomfortable, but I'm glad it didn't bother them.

We did, however, encounter another problem of sorts on the way down. When we hit the splash pool at the bottom, the raft slowed down quickly, but Caleb's body didn't. The momentum caused him to fly forward, but fortunately, I was able to grab ahold of him before he flew out into the water in front of the raft.

"Whew, that was close," he said as he turned toward me with a shocked expression on his face.

"Yes, so now you'll know what to expect the next time you do this."

When we went on the next water coaster, Jamie wanted to go with me this time, so Laine offered to let Caleb go with him. Glen and Dakota were happy to pair up as well, so we all went down again, and this time was just as thrilling as the last. Once we were all at the bottom, we headed over to the last water coaster, but this time we had to go down alone.

"Caleb, are you ready to do this?" I asked.

"Yeah, I'll be ok."

It was like the other two, except this time we were alone, and once we'd all reached the splash pool at the bottom, I agreed to let the boys choose what they wanted to do next. This was the last of the rides that I felt the boys would be interested in, seeing the others were designed for younger children and less thrilling, so we took a few minutes to talk it over.

Laine and Glen quickly asked if I'd allow them to go off on their own, and since they both promised to stay together and were big enough to take care of themselves and each other, I agreed. However, I made them promise to meet up with us when it began to get dark, and we agreed to do that near the spot where we'd had lunch. After they took off, the other three chose to remain with me, so I followed them around as we went on many of the same rides again.

***

We did that until the sun started to set and let us know it was time to catch the bus back to the resort, and then we went to join up with the other two again. We had to wait a couple of minutes before they arrived, but it wasn't bad, so I didn't say anything to them about it. We merely headed over to get on the bus, and then we talked about today as we enjoyed the ride back to our villa.

"Thanks, Dad," Jamie began. "I had a blast today."

"Yeah, so did I," Dakota chimed in.

"Me too," the others quickly agreed.

"So tomorrow we're going to the Magic Kingdom?" Laine followed.

"Yes, we'll be going there both tomorrow and Wednesday because there's so much to see and do there.

"It sounds like fun. I can't wait."

"So, what are we gonna being doing after that?" Dakota asked.

"Thursday we'll be going to Disney Hollywood Studios, and on Friday we'll go to Blizzard Beach, which is another water park. We'll be flying out of here on Saturday, shortly after we eat breakfast, and then we'll drop Laine and Caleb off at their house by early evening."

"Where is Harry Potter World?" Jamie asked.

"Unfortunately, that's not associated with Disney World and is part of another park, so we'll have to go there another time.

"Dang, I wanted to see that too.

"Yeah, so did I," Caleb agreed.

"I know, but maybe we can do that next year."

"I hope so."

"I can't believe our trip is almost over," Laine stated with a touch of sadness in his voice.

"Not quite yet, because we still have four more days of fun at the other parks first."

"Yeah, but I'm gonna miss you guys once we go back home."

"Me too," Caleb added.

"Don't worry; we'll keep in touch. I know you don't have an iPhone, but we can still exchange emails and Skype once in a while, so we'll keep in contact, and it won't be too bad. Do your parents have a cell phone provider?"

"Yeah, my dad has an iPhone, cuz he needs it to keep in contact with his job, or at least he did, but we aren't allowed to use it. The rest of us use the house phone."

"Then, we can call you on that once in a while if you give me your phone number."

"Ok, cuz I feel you guys are my family now too."

"Yeah, me too," Caleb added. "I had a lot of fun doin' stuff with you guys and not just at the parks, either."

"Yes, and please don't let that become a problem for you when you go back home. You won't be able to do those things once you get back, and I don't think any of us want your parents to discover where you learned to do some of that stuff."

"K, I'll be careful and only do it with my friends that I've done other stuff with."

"And I'll make sure he doesn't get carried away," Laine assured me. That made me feel a little better because I was worried that his parents might cause a huge problem for me if he slipped up.

"Ok, just be really careful that you don't slip up and make a mistake."

"Ok, we won't."

When we reached the villa, Jamie and Caleb wanted me to wash them and suck them off again, so after checking with Dakota, I agreed. "Ok, I'll wash you, but we'll do everything in the shower this time because Dakota's going to shower with me when we're done."

"Ok," they both agreed.

I washed both of them first, but before I sucked him off, Caleb asked me to rim him first. "Can you do that thing to my butt in here?"

"Yes, but you'll have to bend over and lean against the wall, and then Jamie can help to make sure you don't fall.

He was tickled that I'd agreed to do this for him, and he was quite vocal as I was working on his backside. After I'd done that for a couple of minutes, I had him stand up and turn around so I could suck his penis next. Once he experienced his dry orgasm, Jamie had me do everything to him that I'd just done to Caleb.

As soon as I'd taken care of both of them, they got out and dried off as Dakota was joining me next. We washed each other quickly because what Dakota really wanted to do would take place in the bedroom. Once we got there, he attacked me like a hungry wolf. He devoured my face with his kisses before slowly working his way down my body. When he reached my waist, he attacked my love muscle until it was standing tall and proud, and then he straddled my hips before sitting down on it.

We'd never done it this way before, so this came as a total surprise, and although he rode me like a rodeo star on a bucking bronco or an infuriated bull, he didn't have a hands-free orgasm this time. As soon as I'd filled him with my love, I flipped him over and onto his back, and then I pulled out of him and attacked his penis like it was my favorite lollipop. I didn't quit or slow down until he'd ejaculated as well, and then we rested for a couple of minutes before we got up to use the toilet before going to sleep.

"Just so you know, I told Glen he could shower and sleep with you tomorrow night," Dakota announced as we were heading to the bathroom. "He asked me if it was ok when you were in there with Jamie and Caleb.

"I didn't know he wanted to do that."

"Yeah, he does. When you went to the bathroom with the other two, he told me everyone else was getting' to spend time with you 'cept him. That's why I told him he could be with you tomorrow night."

"I'm glad you did that because I don't want him to feel that I'm ignoring him, or he's less important than the rest of you."

"Yeah, I know, and I told Laine he could be with you on Friday night, cuz he'll be goin' home the next day.

"I'm impressed, and that's very considerate of you."

"Thanks, but I'll still be with you on Wednesday and Thursday."

"Hmmm, I hope Jamie and Caleb don't feel left out then."

"They won't, cuz I told them I'd shower and sleep with them on Tuesday and Friday and do the same things to them that you do."

"Damn, you seem to have this all planned out."

"Yeah, cuz I wanted to make sure everyone got taken care of."

"I'm impressed, and thank you."

We then finished up in the bathroom before getting back in bed, and then we cuddled together for the rest of the night. Dakota had totally surprised me, not only because of what we'd done earlier but due to the fact that he was so considerate of the other boys. It was a far cry from the boy I'd first met who, at one point, was unsure if he wanted me to take the other boys in because he didn't want to share me. He's definitely grown up a lot.

Chapter 39
Magic Kingdom: Day 1

As soon as I woke the boys on Tuesday, I asked them to help apply sunscreen to each other before they got dressed, and then we left for breakfast. When we got to the restaurant, I told the boys to make sure they got full because we'd probably be having a late lunch, and they did as I asked. They ordered side dishes of sausages and home fries to go along with their normal meal, and as soon as we finished eating, we headed over to catch the bus to the Magic Kingdom.

When we arrived there, I took them directly to Adventureland, and the first attraction we came to was the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House. As soon as we started going through the sprawling structure, I regretted not planning ahead and having the boys watch the 1960 movie, Swiss Family Robinson before we came. I believe they would have enjoyed this more if we'd done that first, but since I'd seen the movie when I was younger, I did my best to explain the various things to them as we checked out the different rooms.

"Man, it would be neat living in a place like this," Dakota said as we looked around. "Each room is actually its own treehouse."

"Yes, it is impressive, and they did the best they could to survive after being shipwrecked."

"How did that happen?" Laine asked. "Was it in a storm?"

"They were chased into a hurricane by pirates, and after the ship crashed upon the rocks, the captain and crew abandoned the ship and left the family stranded near an uninhabited island."

"Man, that sucks," Jamie stated.

"Yes, it certainly did."

"So how did they build all of this?" Caleb wanted to know.

"They were very ingenious and managed to salvage quite a bit from the ship, and then they used those items to construct what you see here. They rescued the tools that they used to build this place, and they also brought with them several muskets and gunpowder they could use to hunt and fight off attackers. They also saved the livestock that was being kept on board the ship, along with the organ and anything else they thought they might be able to use.

"Why did they bother to take the organ with them?" Dakota wondered.

"The mother played the organ and wanted to save it, and it turned out to be one of the few forms of entertainment they had. Even with what you see here, their life was far from easy."

"Yeah, but they had a lot of neat things," Laine pointed out. "They even made a water wheel to help them do other stuff, and I like the cool way they got water up to the kitchen."

"Yes, they were quite ingenious."

"Did they have to battle any cannibals?" Glen followed.

"No, but they had to fend off other things, like snakes, hyenas, and a tiger, and they also had to fight off the same group of pirates that had chased them and caused their ship to crash in the first place."

"They obviously survived, but did they ever get rescued," Glen continued.

"Actually, the family ended up rescuing a girl the pirates had captured at another location, and while they were fighting off another attack by the pirates, a ship showed up and chased the pirates off. The ship's captain was the grandfather of the girl they'd rescued, and his ship fired its cannons at the pirate ship and hit it, and this kept them from coming back again later. Now that others knew where they were and would send ships to check up on them from time to time, most of the family chose to remain on the island. Their oldest son married the captain's granddaughter and remained on the island too, and in the end only their middle son returned to Europe."

"Yeah, I guess I wouldn't have wanted to leave this place either," he concurred.

Our tour around the treehouse was interesting, except for the fact that we were stuck in line behind many other people as we wound our way up, down, and around the various rooms. I wish Disney had updated the attraction over the years and added some animatronics to make it more interesting. An interactive character in each room could have explained some of the things I was telling the boys, and I believe it would have offered a great deal to the process for the other guests as well.

***

Once we left that area, we came to The Magic Carpet of Aladdin ride next, but as soon as the boys saw it, they felt it didn't appear to be very exciting and decided to skip it. I took them on the Jungle Cruise instead, which was a leisurely, but interesting boat ride. Our guide explained that at various times we would be traveling down many of the major rivers from all around the world, so the scenery and sets we saw changed to represent that location better.

As we traveled along, we passed several waterfalls, some wonderful scenery, and numerous animatronic animals along the way. The animals ranged from African and Asian elephants, hippos, crocodiles, a very large snake, and a pride of lions, and it also included a few headhunters. There was also a hilarious scene where a rhino and a hyena had two tourists trapped after chasing them up a totem pole, and the rhino's horn was in a potentially dangerous location for one of the men. The various sights were all quite interesting, but what made the boat ride even more enjoyable was the humor of our guide and the jokes and puns he regaled us with along the way.

Once the cruise ended, we headed to Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room next and watched an animatronic show. It was performed by animated characters that included several different species of birds, some plants, a couple of carved masks, and numerous statues as they presented a Hawaiian-themed musical show. It was fun and entertaining, but I could tell the boys were getting restless with the things we'd been doing so far, so I decided to distract them with a treat. I took them over to Aloha Isle next and ordered each of us a Dole Whip, which is a pineapple-flavored soft serve that's the same consistency as ice cream, although it's a non-dairy treat.

"Whoa, this is really good," Jamie stated as soon as he tasted it.

"I thought you might like it, and it's nice and refreshing on a hot day."

"So when are we gonna do somethin' exciting?" Glen followed.

"Don't worry, grasshopper, because that will be coming up soon, so just be patient."

"That's what you always say," he grumbled.

"And aren't I usually right?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"Then, please be patient."

***

Once we left there, I led the boys to the Pirates of the Caribbean set next, and we entered what appeared to be an old Spanish fort. As we made our way through the queue, we passed by some interesting displays, which included a couple of skeletons that were locked in a cell and playing checkers. Eventually, we loaded onto a boat for a brief cruise.

There was a short drop at the start, and then you heard a voice say, "Dead men tell no tales," just before we passed by an animatronic skeleton piloting a ship. After that we floated past a pirate ship with its cannons blasting away at the fort, and a few seconds later we approached a group of animatronic pirates celebrating their victory as they drank rum and sang Yo Ho (A Pirates Life for Me). That was followed with us sailing past multiple pirates locked up in cells in a dungeon, and then we saw Jack Sparrow sitting in a small room filled with treasure. The experience was both interesting and enjoyable, as well as pretty much what I'd expected from Disney.

"It was neat seeing some of the same people that was in the movie," Caleb stated when the ride ended.

"Yeah, there was Captain Barbossa on the pirate ship and Jack Sparrow in that room, and some of the stuff we saw was pretty neat," Laine concurred.

"It was interesting, and I'm glad we did this, but it still wasn't exciting," Glen added.

"Don't worry, because we'll get to that next."

After hearing Glen's comment, I chose to break from my prearranged itinerary so we could do something they would enjoy more. With that in mind, I led them to Frontierland next because I knew there were a couple of rides there that fit the bill.

I took them to Splash Mountain first, and I'd already arranged to use the FastPass+ so we could bypass the line. Splash Mountain is a log flume ride, and when we first started out, the log traveled through a roughhewn tunnel where a conveyor belt carried us up to the next level. I believe we were all expecting a big drop when we got there, but it turned out to be a short drop instead, and then we floated along the stream until we came to a second conveyor belt. While we were waiting to load onto the conveyor, we unexpectedly got wet when another log plunged down a long drop and crashed into the pool at the bottom, which was fairly close to our location.

"Whoa, I can't wait until we do that," Glen stated when he realized what awaited us.

After we went up the second conveyor belt, we experienced another short drop before we passed by some interesting displays, and then we came to a slightly longer drop.

"That was good, but there's no way it was the same drop that we saw the other group take," Glen announced.

"No, I'm sure we've still got that to look forward to."

Our log then wound its way past some more animatronic displays that featured Disney characters from the movie Song of the South. They included Mr. Bluebird and Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear, who were focused on their attempt to catch Br'er Rabbit. After we passed by this area, we came to another conveyor belt, and when we reached the top we hit the drop we'd all been anticipating. The log plummeted 52 feet [15.8 m] at a 45-degree angle, and it was not only thrilling, but some of us got wet when we reached the pool at the bottom.

Laine and Caleb were sitting in the first seat and got drenched. Glen and Jamie were sitting in the next seat, and although they got wet, it wasn't nearly as bad as the first pair. Dakota and I were sitting in the third seat and hardly got wet at all, but Dakota and I had fared worse than the rest of them when the other log had splashed us earlier.

"Now that's more like it!" Glen enthused as our log began to move on.

We then floated along for a while before we hit another small drop, and then we passed some more animatronic displays as we made our way back to where we'd started the ride.

"That was exciting and what I was waitin' for," Glen stated as we were getting out of our log.

"See, I told you."

"Hey, how come you guys didn't get as wet as us?" Caleb asked when he noticed we were drier than him and his brother.

"It seems that where we were sitting made all the difference," I replied, "but it's hot out, and you should dry off fairly quickly."

We then made our way to the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad next. Even though I'd used the FastPass+ on this ride as well, we still had to walk a long way to get to the ride, and during that time, I noticed many things. This included a number of bird cages hanging from the ceiling, so I decided to point it out to the boys and explained why they were there.

"I know you probably think the cages look out of place here, but the miners used them for the canaries they took down in the mine.

"Why would miners take canaries with them?" Jamie asked.

"They did it because the canaries reacted to the presence of poison gases much faster than the miners. When the canary died, it warned the miners that they needed to get out of the mine as quickly as possible.

"So, they just let the canaries die?"

"I'm afraid so since it was the lesser of two evils. It was considered an acceptable loss if the canary died, rather than having a bunch of miners die."

"That sucks."

The ride was a roller coaster designed to simulate a runaway train as it sped through an old west mining town, and some numerous twists and turns sent us flopping from one side to the other. It didn't create a problem when it jerked in the direction that sent Caleb crashing into me, but when it lurched in the other direction I would slam into him and crush him against the side of the car. Whenever that happened, I would hear him emit a soft 'oof.'

"I'm sorry, and I'm trying to keep it from happening," I told him when I got a chance.

"I know and it's ok," he replied.

Several drops made our stomachs feel as if they had ended up in our throats, and part of the ride was through tunnels and caverns, while the rest of the ride was out in the open. Much to Glen's delight, this was another thrilling ride, and since it traveled at high speed, it helped us to dry off even faster.

"I loved this ride," Glen crowed as we were getting off.

"Yeah, that was even better than the last one," Laine concurred.

"Yeah, it was great," Dakota agreed.

"And now that we've been on a couple of exciting rides, I'm ready to eat," Glen added.

"Who would have guessed?" I teased, which caused the other boys to laugh. "You're right, though, and I'm getting hungry too. I imagine the others are ready to eat as well, so let's head over to the Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café.

"Hey, I've heard of Pecos Bill before," Caleb announced after I told them where we were going. "We read about him, Paul Bunyan, and Johnny Appleseed in our readin' book last year."

"Yes, they are all tall tale heroes, along with Casey Jones, who was a train engineer, and John Henry, a steel drivin' man."

"Oh, yeah, I forgot about them."

It turned out that the Café had a Tex-Mex cuisine, so we ended up ordering things like fajitas, nachos, and tacos with side dishes of yellow rice and black beans. We also had a strawberry-lemonade slushy to wash it down.

"That was good," Glen stated when he finished. "What are we doin' next?"

"We're going to Liberty Square and take it easy for a while before going back to Frontierland."

"Ok, that sounds good."

***

We started out with a ride on the Liberty Square Riverboat, which is a paddlewheel riverboat that gave the boys a glimpse of what it might have been like to travel in the 19th century. It had three levels, and the boys were determined to check out each of those areas, and other than following them up and down all three tiers, it was an enjoyable and relaxing experience with some lovely views. It was also a nice way to give our meals a chance to digest.

Once that ride ended, I decided to skip the Hall of Presidents, since we'd already watched The American Adventure at Epcot, so I took the boys to the Haunted Mansion next. Waiting in line was even fun because we got a chance to inspect a horse-drawn hearse, view the busts along the cemetery fence, observe the various gravestones, and even play a huge, interactive organ. When we finally got inside, we listened to a brief introduction before loading into the Doom Buggies for the ride through the haunted corridors and rooms.

Caleb had been clinging to me from the second we'd entered the mansion, so when it came time to load into the two-person Doom Buggy, there wasn't any doubt about who'd be riding with me. We then proceeded through the building, and if the spooky sights of the 999 ghosts didn't get to us, the audio effects were enough to push us over the edge. It was definitely a spooktacular ride, and we got a chance to experience many of the things that went bump in the dark, including a ghost that hitched a ride in our buggy.

"Whoa, that was pretty cool," Dakota stated when we were all together again.

"Yeah, but some of that stuff really creeped me out," Jamie added.

"It was pretty good, but where are we goin' next?" Glen pressed.

"Back to Frontierland," I answered simply.

We went to the Country Bear Jamboree first, which is an animatronic stage show. The bears rose up to the stage on platforms, descended from the ceiling, and appeared from behind curtains, and there were some animatronic animal heads on the walls that interacted with the bears on stage. They performed country songs and recited some corny jokes and bad puns, but the adults in the audience were able to extract a non-G-rated interpretation from some of them. It was a cute and enjoyable show on many levels, although not everyone agreed with me.

"That was ok, but let's do something more exciting now," Glen urged.

"I wanted you to see this because I read a Toy Story Marionette Show might replace it."

"I liked it," Jamie assured me.

"Me too," Caleb chimed in.

"I'm glad, and I did too."

"So, what's next?" Laine asked.

"We're going to head over to Tom Sawyer Island now."

When we arrived at that location, we had to board a free-floating raft piloted by a Disney employee to take us to the island, and then we were left on our own to take a self-guided tour to see the sights. All of the buildings and peripheral items were accurately designed to represent the correct era, the mid-1800s, and this prompted a few questions from the boys.

"What did they do at Harper's Mill?" Jamie asked when we came to that building.

"It's what they referred to as a grist mill, and it's where they ground the grain into flour for baking."

"But there was no 'lectricity back then, so how did they do that?" Caleb wanted to know.

"No, there wasn't any electricity, so this mill was powered by water instead. The stream turned the large waterwheel on the outside of the building, and that was connected to various other wheels inside that helped to grind the grain into flour. When we go inside, you'll be able to see what I'm talking about."

Once we entered the mill, the boys studied the moving parts carefully to see how it operated, and I think they were quite impressed by what people were able to do nearly 200 years ago. When I realized this, I explained that other civilizations had done similar things as far back as a thousand years ago, which I think blew their minds.

From there, we explored an old mine shaft and walked through it from one end to the other, and after that we walked over a narrow bridge to see Aunt Polly's house, although we couldn't go inside. We also saw the fence that Tom Sawyer was supposed to whitewash but never finished, although he used it to profess his love for Becky. From there we made our way to the next attraction, Injun Joe's cave.

"Is this the cave where Tom and Becky got lost, and where Injun Joe died?" Laine asked.

"Yes, it is, but I'm surprised you knew this."

"I read the book in school last year."

"Will there be ghosts in the cave?" Caleb followed.

"No, this isn't the real cave, and it's just a representation. I then took them inside for a look around.

During our time on the island, we discovered that it was actually two separate islands, and we had to cross a suspension bridge to reach the other island. That's where Fort Langhorn was located, and the fort was named in honor of Mark Twain, seeing they had used his middle name. He was born Samuel Langhorne Clemens, although they chose to spell it slightly different for the fort, and Clemens used the pen name Mark Twain for his writing. He got that name from a term he'd used when working on a riverboat because they called out 'mark twain' when they wanted to judge the depth of the river.

There was a lot to explore at the fort, including an animatronic display of a blacksmith's shop where you could see the blacksmith at work and the tails on the horses moving. You could also climb up the stairs to see the canon emplacements, as well as to look out the slots the soldiers used when shooting from the rifle roost. There were even replica rifles on swivels that the boys could pretend to shoot, and the rifles were complete with sound effects when they pulled the trigger.

"It sounded more like a video game, not a real gun shooting, but it was still kinda neat," Jamie stated after playing with one for a while.

There was a tower on each of the four corners of the fort, and of course, the boys had to explore each one, so I followed them around. While we were doing this, we also got to see how the tops of the posts used to build the fort had been hewn into a point to deter attackers from scaling it.

"These aren't very sharp, so I doubt it would stop anybody," Dakota stated after checking them out.

"I'm sure these were blunted so no one would get hurt while they were here, but I suspect the tops of the posts at real forts came to a much sharper point.

As we continued our exploration, we found a guardhouse, and when you looked through the bars on the window you could see and hear the prisoner sleeping on the cot inside.

"That's what my dad used to sound like when he fell asleep in his chair or on the couch, or when he was in bed at night," Glen announced.

"You mean you could hear him from your bedroom? Didn't you close your door?" Caleb challenged.

"Yeah, but his snoring shook the whole house."

The boys also wanted to check out the escape tunnel, so I followed them down the steps as we used this secret route to get out of the fort. The passage was dark and narrow, which didn't seem to bother the boys, but it was a little tight for me, and overall, the boys seemed to enjoy the time we spent at the fort.

We also spotted a windmill as we were walking around, which caused Caleb to ask another question. "What was this used for?"

"It could have been used to do the same thing as the waterwheel at the mill, or it might have operated something else," I responded. "Back then, there were basically three ways to generate power to do work. The first was by using flowing water to turn a waterwheel, the next was to use the wind to spin the blades on a windmill, and the third was using either men or animals to turn a wheel.

"Ok, I see now."

When we finished our exploration of the two islands, we returned to the dock to take the raft back to Frontierland. Once we boarded the raft, I told the boys there was enough time left to go on a couple of the rides again. They quickly agreed on Splash Mountain and the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

"They're definitely the two best rides, so I'm glad you're lettin' us go on them again," Laine stated as we walked to Splash Mountain.

"Yeah, I agree," Glen added. "I'm glad you're lettin' us go on those again."

We had to wait in line this time since we'd used the FastPass+ when we rode them earlier, but it was worth the wait. They both proved to be just as thrilling the second time around, and the boys got their final adrenaline rush before going to eat.

***

As we made our way back to Main Street for a very late dinner, the boys let me know how they were feeling. "I'm starving, but I don't mind, cuz it was worth it to go on those last two rides again," Glen stated.

"Yeah, and I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," Dakota chimed in.

"I wish you'd told me that when we were at the fort because I don't think any of these restaurants have horse on the menu," I quipped.

"Very funny, but you know what I mean.

"So, where are we eating?" Laine asked.

"We're going to Tony's Town Square Restaurant. It's an Italian establishment."

"Good, cuz we all like pizza, spaghetti, and other kinds of Italian food," Jamie announced.

He also proved his statement when ordering, because he and Caleb both wanted Spaghetti and Meatballs, and Glen chose the Ravioli with Grilled Chicken Breast, while Laine, Dakota, and I went with the Chicken Parmigiana. Everyone enjoyed it, and it was all delicious, and it also quieted the rumblings in our tummies.

Once we finished our meals, I took the boys to the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor for dessert, and we each had an Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich. It consisted of two freshly made chocolate chip cookies with a scoop of the ice cream flavor of your choice placed between them. I thought it was a nice way to end a very wonderful day and to satisfy our sweet tooth at the same time.

***

Once we finished those, we hurried to catch the next bus back to the resort, and when we got to the villa, I told the boys to shower quickly and then get to bed, because we had another full day tomorrow. As I was heading to the bedroom, Glen came up to me and spoke.

"Is it ok if I shower and sleep with you tonight?"

"Of course."

"So did Dakota tell you that I wanted to do this?"

"He mentioned something like that, but I would have been happy to do it if you'd come to me and asked as well."

A smile broke across his face. "Thanks, so maybe we can do this more often now?"

"Sure, that sounds good to me. The other boys always manage to let me know when they want to do something like this, and since you never asked before, I didn't think you were interested."

"I am, but I guess I just didn't realize I should say somethin' to ya, cuz I'd never have asked my dad to do anything like this. When I was little, he wouldn't even let me sleep with him and my mom when I was scared, like when there was a really bad thunderstorm. He'd just tell me to quit bein' a baby and go back to bed."

"Yes, some men don't like to show their emotions with their sons. They fear doing that might turn their sons into sissies and wimps."

"That's stupid."

"Yes, I agree."

He followed me into the bedroom, and we undressed quickly, and then we went to the bathroom, where I adjusted the water. Once that had been taken care of, we stepped inside, and I washed him first.

"I didn't think I'd like havin' you do this, but it feels nice."

"Weren't you doing this with Laine?"

"No. We was showerin' together, but we washed ourselves, and then we'd mess around after that. I just wasn't sure what I was gonna do from now on cuz he's goin' back home, so I was kinda feelin' left out."

"We won't leave you out, and I don't want you to feel we ever would. I was just giving you room to choose what you wanted to do, and from what I observed, you seemed to prefer spending time with Laine.

"Yeah, we got along great, but I thought I'd be all alone after he went back home with his brother. I was hopin' that maybe I could do stuff with you and Kota, but I wasn't sure if you guys would want to do that."

"I'm sure it can easily be arranged."

"Good, cuz Jamie's still too young, and he doesn't like to do some stuff, like fuck, but maybe he'll change his mind when he gets older. If he does, then maybe I'll spend some time with him too."

"Yes, that's very possible, so we'll just have to wait and see how that works out."

After I washed Glen, he washed me, but he was strictly a down to business kind of guy. He merely washed my body and didn't play with my junk like Jamie and Caleb would do, and he didn't kiss me or massage my shoulders as Dakota did. When he finished, we got out, dried off, and headed to the bedroom.

"Is there anything in particular that you'd like to do now?"

"Me and Laine would fuck each other, but we'd usually do it in the shower, but we can just blow each other if that's all you want to do."

"No, it's your choice. If you want us to fuck each other, then I'm ok with that."

"Really?"

"Of course. I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it."

"Great!"

"Then I'll let you go first."

I reached into the nightstand for the lube, and then I sucked on Glen's penis until he got an erection. Once he was hard, I lubed both of us up and asked him another question.

"Any particular way you'd like to do this?"

"Ummm, how 'bout doggy style?"

"That's fine with me, just go slowly."

I got on all fours, and Glen positioned himself behind me. He then put the head of his penis against my opening and began to add pressure. I pushed out with my rectal muscles to assist his effort, and he popped in easily, and then he started to rock back and forth as he worked into a nice, steady rhythm.

Glen had more stamina and lasted much longer than I imagined, but he'd obviously been doing this with Laine most nights, so it wasn't as if he was in the middle of a long dry spell. He pounded my butt for several minutes, and it was quite enjoyable. However, he eventually reached his breaking point and fired his load into my bowels, and then he stayed in me for another minute before he withdrew. He then looked at me as he waited for me to give him his cue.

"Just help me get hard, and then you can lay on your back, and we'll do it that way."

Unlike Dakota, Glen didn't seem interested in kissing or engaging in any type of foreplay. He merely sucked on my penis until it was hard, and then he laid down on the mattress as I lubed us both up again, just in the opposite locations. Once we were both prepared, I lifted his legs, placed them on my shoulders, and eased my way into him. Once I was fully seated, I started thrusting into him and used a nice, leisurely rhythm as I concentrated on giving him as much pleasure as I knew how.

Similar to Dakota and Laine, Glen enjoyed being a bottom, but he also liked to top as well. Now that he'd already gotten his rocks off, he was thoroughly enjoying my effort as I attempted to graze his prostate with every thrust. I wasn't doing it to make him cum again, but so he'd enjoy it more, and we did this for quite a few minutes before he grunted, and his penis twitched as it released a few drops of fluid. I was surprised that he'd just had a second orgasm, although this one was more dry than wet, his bowels contracted like he'd just had a major release. That served to hasten my release as well and caused me to explode into him. Shortly after I'd released the last of my seed into his gut, I pulled out and laid down beside him.

"Thanks, that was really good," Glen whispered a few seconds later.

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I think we need to get up and wash off quickly before we go to sleep."

He agreed with my suggestion, so we headed into the bathroom, grabbed a couple of washcloths, and cleaned up. Then, we went out and got back in bed.

"Would you like to cuddle now?"

He didn't respond right away and seemed to be thinking it over. "Yeah, I think I'd like to try that too."

"Do you want to put your head on my chest or just have me spoon up behind you?"

"Let's spoon."

He then rolled onto his side, so I could spoon up behind him, and then I wrapped my arm over his chest. That's the way we fell asleep and how we remained for the rest of the night."

Chapter 40
Magic Kingdom: Day 2

When we woke up the next morning, I rolled onto my back and just laid there for a couple of minutes before getting out of bed. During that time, Glen rolled toward me and smiled before he spoke.

"Thanks for doin' that. It was nice."

"I'm glad you enjoyed it, but the other times you slept with me, you didn't seem to want to make bodily contact, so I wasn't sure if you'd enjoy doing this."

"I know, but I liked it and want to do it again sometime if that's ok with you."

"Certainly, we can do it any time you sleep with me."

"Thanks, and I think I might try doin' it with Laine before we leave here too."

"I hope you'll let me know how that works out then."

"Ok, I will."

I then went to wake up the other boys and asked them to help each other with the sunscreen again before getting dressed. Once we were all ready, we went to eat breakfast.

"Do you want us to do like yesterday and eat a lot?" Glen asked before we ordered.

"No need, because this time we'll be eating both meals in the same area since it's where we'll be spending the day.

We then enjoyed our breakfast before making our way over to catch the bus to the Magic Kingdom. This time we went to the other side of the park and headed to Fantasyland first. As soon as we got there, I took them on the Mad Tea Party ride.

"This doesn't look very exciting," Glen mumbled.

"Maybe not, but I wanted you to experience it because it's modeled after the original 1955 Disneyland attraction."

"But that was a long time ago, and things prob'ly weren't as excitin' back then."

"They might not have had the technological advances that they have today, but they were very good at mechanical rides. You can even control how fast the teacup spins, so you can make it as exciting as you want."

He finally relented and agreed to go on it with Laine and Dakota, so Jamie and Caleb rode with me. Once the ride started, I watched as those three spun the teacup as fast as it would go, and I was glad that Jamie and Caleb took it a little easier. I was still slightly wobbly as I got out when the ride ended, and I laughed at the other three as they stumbled around briefly, but it didn't last for very long before we moved on to the next ride.

"I'll give you a choice on whether you want to go on The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh."

"That sounds like another little kid's ride," Glen grumbled.

"Yes, I'm sure it's geared toward the younger crowd, but I thought if you used to be a Winnie the Pooh fan, then you might like to do this."

"I read a bunch of the Winnie the Pooh books when I was younger," Jamie replied.

"And my mom used to read them to me," Caleb added.

"Yeah, she did the same thing when I was little, too," Laine confirmed.

"Then I'll leave it up to you. If you decide to do this you will ride in a 'Hunny Pot' and get to see all of the characters from the Hundred Acre Wood, so do you want to go on this ride or not?"

"I do," Caleb quickly responded.

"Yeah, me too," Jamie agreed.

"Ok, then we'll go too, so they don't miss out," Glen relented.

"The Hunny Pot can accommodate up to four passengers, so I suggest we go in groups of three. If you don't mind, I'll take Jamie and Caleb with me."

"Yeah, then the three of us will go together," Dakota confirmed.

I let Jamie and Caleb ride in front, and I sat in the seat behind them, and when I looked back the others were doing the same thing. Glen and Dakota were riding in the front of that Hunny Pot, with Laine seated behind them, but I wasn't sure if Laine did this by choice or to mimic what I was doing. I'd gotten that same impression at other times as well, like whenever he ordered the same meal I did or would mimic what I was doing on other rides. It could be what he was up to, and it's said that mimicry is the highest form of flattery.

The ride proved to be interesting, and we got to see nearly all of the characters from the stories, including Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Gopher, Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, and Tigger. Our Hunny Pot seemed to bounce along with Tigger at one point, and there was also a soundtrack, so we heard their voices as well. The soundtrack also included songs from some of Pooh's most memorable adventures, and we even entered Pooh's dreams and saw him fighting off the honey stealing Heffalumps and Woozles. It was cute, although maybe not exciting enough for the older crew, I'm still glad we did this.

"I hope the next ride is more excitin'," Glen stated as we joined forces again.

"Yes, I think you'll like it. We're going on the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train next, which is actually a roller coaster."

"Yeah, that sounds more like it."

We could see the Seven Dwarfs cottage as we walked along the path to enter the mine and get on the ride. The cars we rode in resembled mine carts, and I suggested that Jamie and Caleb ride together so they wouldn't get crushed as badly this time. Dakota got in next to me, and then the other pair rode together as we took off.

The first part of the ride was quite thrilling with the many twists, turns, and drops, but then as soon as we entered the mine we slowed down to a crawl. The cars even tilted from side to side to simulate riding in a minecart, and we got a chance to see the dwarfs using pickaxes to mine the brightly colored gems. We also heard them sing their theme song Heigh-Ho as we started moving again, and once we exited the mine we went on another thrilling burst of speed through more twists, turns, and drops. Just before the ride ended it slowed down again, and when this happened we got a chance to look inside the cottage and could see Snow White dancing with the dwarfs as they sang their Yodel Song. As we were pulling away, you could see an imminent threat waiting just outside the cottage door.

"It wasn't as good as Thunder Mountain, but it was still fun," Glen admitted as we were leaving.

"And I got to see all of the dwarfs and Snow White," Caleb stated gleefully.

"And I liked it when they sang: Heigh-Ho, Heigh-Ho, it's off to work we go…" Jamie sang in tune.

"Yeah, it was pretty neat," Laine agreed.

"So, what's next?" Glen followed.

"We're going on the Peter Pan Flight."

"Is that exciting?"

"I'm not sure. I guess we'll have to wait and see."

I'm sure it wasn't as exciting as Glen would have liked, but I could tell Jamie and Caleb enjoyed it. We loaded into two-person flying ships and glided over many of the scenes from Peter Pan, from the streets of Victorian London to various locations in Neverland. I also enjoyed this little blast from the past, but now it was time to move on.

***

As soon as that ride ended, I advised the boys what was next on the agenda. "The Dumbo ride is coming up, but I'll give you a choice about whether you want to go on it.

"It looks a lot like the Magic Carpet ride in Adventureland," Dakota pointed out.

"Yeah, and we didn't go on that one, and I don't wanna go on this one either," Glen quickly followed.

"Do all of you want to skip this ride then?" Each of them nodded in agreement. "Ok, and since this entire area looks as if it's geared toward the younger kids, let's head over to Tomorrowland."

The first attraction we came to was the Tomorrowland Speedway, and the boys seemed to perk up when they saw the sign. "Is this a go-kart track?" Laine asked.

"Not exactly. The cars are on tracks to prevent accidents, but you can control the speed."

"That's lame, so let's skip this one too," Glen suggested.

"You boys might not enjoy it as much since you've all driven go-karts and four-wheelers before, but Caleb would probably enjoy doing it. I'll tell you what, if you will agree to go on this ride for Caleb's sake, then we'll go to Space Mountain next."

"What's that?" Glen asked.

"It's a roller coaster that's inside a huge building, and I hear it's pretty scary."

"Ok, we'll do this then."

"Are you gonna drive one of those cars too?" Dakota asked.

"I might ride with Caleb to make sure he does ok, but I won't do it alone," I answered as we entered and looked around.

"There are just four lanes," Laine pointed out, "so what if we all go at the same time, and I'll ride with Caleb to help him out. That way we'll only need four cars so we can do it together.

"Actually, that's a great idea, and I'll sit in the grandstands and watch."

I was glad he'd suggested this because I really didn't want to squeeze into one of the cars with Caleb, but I was willing to do it so he could have the experience. The cars use gas engines, but the fastest they can go is 7.5 mph [12 kph], and I hope none of them get stuck behind a slower driver because it might ruin the experience for them. Fortunately, Caleb met the minimum height requirement to drive, so they waited in line for their chance to do this.

When they got to the front, they had to let one of the kids behind them jump ahead so they could all go at the same time. When they finally climbed into their vehicles, they started out together.

Actually, it worked out better than I expected. Caleb and Laine had loaded into the first car and ended up having a fairly clear path from start to finish. Jamie got in the second car, and to his chagrin, there was a slower driver in his lane, so he had to slow down to avoid running into him. Dakota and Glen were in the next two lanes, and they didn't run into problems until near the very end, and then they had to slow down to avoid the traffic jam. This meant Caleb ended up beating the others, much to his delight.

"That was fun, and I won," he announced when I went to meet up with them after the ride ended.

"Yes, you did."

"I wish I coulda steered too, but it was fun bein' able to go as fast as I wanted."

"I believe you have that in common with your brother," I joked.

"Hey! So I liked to push it a little when we were on the go-karts," Laine responded.

"Yes, and obviously, your brother did the same thing on this."

True to my word, I took them to Space Mountain next. I was glad that I'd used our FastPass+ here because the line was enormous. When doing my research before we left, I discovered which rides I should use the FastPass+ on, and I'm glad I did because the posted wait time in line would have been around an hour.

"Neat," I heard the boys say as they viewed the star themed 'windows' as we made our way up to the second level.

When we got to the front of the line, we quickly discovered there were two rockets joined together, each with three seats–one behind the other. This meant we had to do a little jockeying around with the others waiting in line so we could all ride together. Once we were in our rocket, we started off by passing through a strobe tunnel and its pulsing lights. It reminded me of the effect that was used in Star Trek shows and movies whenever the Enterprise went into warp drive.

When we reached the end of the tunnel it suddenly became dark, except for the faux stars overhead, and then we made a sharp turn before going up a steep incline. I happened to notice that there were decals on the side of our rocket that glowed in the blacklight, and I could also hear a soundtrack playing as we went up the steep incline. When we reached the top there was a quick drop, and then we hit a series of twists, turns, and more drops as we sped around the track in nearly total darkness. There was another neat effect near the end of the ride when we went through another pulsing and swirling tunnel, and this attraction definitely lived up to everything I'd read about it.

Once we got out of the rockets, we passed some interesting displays as we made our way to the exit, and I was looking at those as the boys shared their impressions of this attraction.

"Wow, that was awesome," Glen gushed.

"Yeah, that was incredible," Dakota agreed.

"Can we go on it again?" Laine asked.

"Maybe later, but the line is way too long to do that right now."

"Oh, ok."

"Hey, these things are pretty cool," Jamie added, referring to a couple of the displays.

"And I like the robot too," Caleb added.

"Yes, that is pretty neat."

After we left Space Mountain, Dakota asked a question. "Can we get something to eat now? I'm getting hungry.

"Wow, I'm amazed you're the one asking me this, instead of Glen," I teased.

"I was havin' too much fun on Space Mountain to think about my stomach," Glen shot back, "but I'm hungry too."

"Good, then let's head over to Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café for lunch."

***

After checking out the menu and going through the cafeteria-style line, we ordered. Jamie and Caleb each got a foot-long beef hotdog topped with mac and cheese, while Glen ordered the foot-long beef hotdog covered in chili and cheddar cheese. Dakota, Laine, and I all chose the grilled chicken club sandwich, and each of our meals came with French fries. We also had a strawberry lemonade slushy to wash it down and S'mores for dessert, and as we ate, the boys talked about what we'd done so far.

"I liked Space Mountain the best and wouldn't mind going on it again," Laine reiterated.

"We may, depending on the time situation," I responded.

"I liked going on the Seven Dwarfs Mine ride too," Caleb added.

"Yes, that was also good," I confirmed.

"So, what are we gonna do next?" Jamie wanted to know.

"I always take us on an easier ride after we eat, so we'll be going on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover next."

"What's that?" Glen asked.

"It's Walt Disney's idea for a type of mass transit that might be used in the future to help move people around in cities, rather than having everyone driving cars, or riding in taxis or on buses. It's sort of like an open-air train, but much smaller, and it will take us all around this part of the park on a raised track. It travels around at a second-story level, so we'll be above the crowd.

"Is it the blue thing we saw when we were at Space Mountain?"

"Yes, that would be it."

After we finished eating, we took a nice leisurely ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover and enjoyed some lovely views of the park and other attractions as we went along. When that ride ended, I took them to the Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress next.

"Is this a merry-go-round?" Jamie asked.

"Not exactly. In this case, we'll be sitting in a theater that rotates around the stage to show different scenes of the progress the country has made since 1900."

"How will they do that?" Laine followed.

"As each stage comes into view, there will be a new scene with an animatronic representation of what life was like at that time."

"So, they're gonna go over every year since then?" Glen asked horrified.

"No, they do it by jumping to different periods of time, because things don't change very much on a year-to-year basis. The progress is usually shown in twenty-year intervals or longer."

"Ok, I was worried 'bout that," he stated, looking relieved.

***

When we arrived at that location, we went inside, took our seats, and got ready for the show to begin. After a brief introduction, the first stage came into view, and it depicted my great-great-grandfather's generation at the beginning of the twentieth century, around 1900. When that ended, and the next stage came into view, it addressed my great-grandfather's generation in the late 1920s, and after that, we jumped to my grandfather's generation in the late 1940s. The next jump was a huge one, and we flashed forward to the present day when many household items have become voice-activated. Seeing how far we've come makes you wonder what the future still holds.

Once the presentation ended, the boys had some comments and questions. "Man, I can't even imagine what it would have been like when there was no electricity in the houses or when there was only the radio to listen to," Laine stated. "It must have been pretty boring, living back then."

"If you've never had something, then you can't miss it, so they merely adjusted to what they had. They were happy to have radio, because it was more than what they had before, and life is what you make it."

"And what did that guy mean about havin' indoor plumbing?" Jamie asked. "Did he mean havin' a kitchen sink and showers?"

"That's only part of it. Before then, there was no running water in the house, unless you were lucky enough to have a hand pump in the kitchen, so they didn't have to run outside to get buckets of water. If they wanted hot water they had to heat it up on the stove, but that's only part of what he was referring to. Having indoor plumbing meant you also had toilets indoors too, because before that they had to go outside to use the outhouse, even in the winter."

"You mean like a porta-potty?

"It's similar, but without the chemical smell, and the outhouse would have been made out of wood."

"Ouch, you could get a splinter then," Jamie winced.

"Sometimes they did, so they learned to be careful."

"And they would smell everyone else's poop when they were in there, cuz it just dropped down into an open pit," Dakota added.

"So they even had to do that at night too, in the dark?" Caleb wanted to know.

"Yes, until they went to bed. They usually had a bedpan in their bedroom that they could use if they had to pee later, and then they would empty it in the morning."

"So you slept with that smell all night after you used it?" Glen followed.

"It would seem so."

I believe the boys were starting to appreciate how much better off they had it than previous generations, and now that our meals had time to settle, I led the boys over to the next attraction. It was time for them to go on the Astro Orbiter, and as I led them there, they were able to view it in operation, which prompted Glen to ask a question.

"Isn't this like the Dumbo and Magic Carpet rides too?"

"Only in that it goes around in a circle, but this time you get to control how high the rocket you're in actually goes. And since the ride is so high up, you'll also get some fantastic views of the park."

"Oh, ok."

We had to take an elevator up to the loading area, and then we climbed into one of the two-person rocket ships. It was a little awkward getting in and out of it, but it seemed to only affect me and wasn't a problem for the boys, because they appeared to do just fine. I suppose it was because they were more limber than I was, primarily due to their age.

Caleb wanted to ride with me, and I think it was because of how high the ride would go. For that reason, I let him control our rocket and choose if we stayed at the lowest level or if we went higher. At first, he didn't make a move to make it go higher, but then after watching what the other boys were doing, our rocket started to rise up as well. Before the ride ended, Caleb had our rocket at the very highest level it would go, and I was impressed that he'd managed to conquer his fear.

"Did you enjoy this?" I asked as the ride was coming to an end.

"Yeah, and it wasn't as scary as I thought it would be."

"Why didn't you tell me that you had a problem with heights?"

"I didn't want the other boys to know, cuz I thought they'd make fun of me."

"Have they done anything like that before?"

"No, but I thought they might."

"I doubt they would have, but next time I want you to let me know if you're having a problem with what we're doing."

"K, I will."

Once we left that ride, I took the boys to the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin next.

"So, what's the ride like?" Dakota asked as soon as I told them where we were going.

"It's supposed to be like an arcade game, and you'll be one of Buzz Lightyear's Space Rangers. You're going to help him fight the evil Emperor Zurg, and you'll be riding in a two-person XP 37 space vehicle that you can control with a joystick to make it spin around. You'll each have a laser gun to do battle with, and you'll shoot at targets to score points."

"Ok, that sounds like fun."

Dakota wanted to ride with me this time, so Jamie went with Glen, and Caleb rode with Laine. As we passed through the queue, we learned that we had to aim at the Zurg emblems, a large Z in a geometric shape to score points, and certain shapes were worth more than others. We were also told the smaller targets, along with those farther away, and the ones that moved were also worth more points. It seemed the boys were looking forward to this as we loaded into our vehicles.

I let Dakota sit in front and control the joystick because I felt I'd have enough to do trying to hit the targets. The ride went through thirteen different rooms or battle scenarios that we fought our way through, and when the ride ended, we were given our score. It indicated how well we'd done and the level we reached, along with the rank we had earned.

"How did you do, Dad?" Dakota asked as we were exiting the vehicle.

"Level 3, Ranger 1st Class."

"I got to Level 4, Planetary Pilot."

"That's probably because you were the pilot and spun us around. It caused me to miss some of the targets because I wasn't prepared for when you did it."

"Oops, sorry about that."

When we hooked up with the others again, I heard how they did as well. "Glen made me keep missin' the targets when he made us spin around," Jamie complained.

"I know, I had the same problem," I commiserated as I glanced over at Dakota.

"I only made Level 2, Space Ace," Jamie added.

"Me too," Caleb confessed.

"I made Level 4, Planetary Pilot," Laine interjected.

"Same as me," Dakota concurred.

"Then I guess I did the best," Glen announced, "cuz I made Space Ace."

"Isn't that the fifth out of the seven levels?" I asked.

"Yep," Glen confirmed with a grin.

"The last ride was kinda like bein' in the video games we play on the 'puter and on the PlayStation at home," Dakota stated.

"Yeah, it was really neat."

"Can we go on it again?" Caleb asked. "I wanna see if I can score better this time now that I know what to do."

"Would the rest of you like to do this again?

"Yeah," Jamie agreed. "Caleb's right, and we should be able to score more points if we do it again."

The others quickly concurred so we got back in line to do this one more time, but I had a suggestion before we got started. "Go in the same pairs, but let the other person control the joystick this time, so the same person doesn't get penalized again when the other person spins it around."

Those who didn't get to drive the last time liked this idea, while the others weren't as happy about it. However, after waiting in line for quite a while, we got a chance to do it again.

I hardly touched the joystick and merely concentrated on hitting the targets this time. I think the other drivers were reluctant to spin their vehicles very often as well, so I assumed we would all score better this time around. My suspicions were confirmed when we got together again afterward.

"I made Level 3, Ranger 1st Class this time," Caleb enthused.

"Me too," Jamie added just as excited. "How about you, Dad?"

"I got to level 4, Planetary Pilot."

"And I beat him again, and this time he couldn't say he lost cuz I was drivin'," Dakota stated. "I got to Level 5, Space Ace."

"Yeah, I got that again too," Glen confirmed.

"Then I guess I beat all of you," Laine followed, "cuz I got to level 6, so I'm a Cosmic Commando."

"Then we all did better and I'm glad to hear that. So what would you like to do next, because we've been on all the rides now?" I asked.

"Space Mountain," they all shouted.

We had a long wait in line, but the ride was just as thrilling as before. When it ended, Glen asked a question.

"Is it time to eat again?"

"Hmmm, isn't this the same conversation we had the last time we were here at Space Mountain?"

"Yeah, I guess all those dips and turns made us realize our stomachs were empty," Laine replied.

"Ok, but this time we'll go to Tomorrowland Terrace Restaurant to eat, so follow me."

***

When we arrived there, we looked over the menu quickly and decided what we wanted to eat. Jamie and Caleb chose the Chicken Strips with BBQ sauce, while Glen and Dakota selected the Angus Bacon Cheeseburger. All four of their meals came with either apple slices or House-made chips, and the boys went with the chips. Laine and I got the Chicken Caesar Salad, and we all had an all-natural lemonade slushy to drink, and a Rocky Road brownie for dessert. I think we were all full by the time we finished our meal.

When we left the restaurant, I took them to the Monster Inc. Laugh Floor next, because I thought it would give our meals time to digest. Even though it wasn't what the boys considered 'exciting,' it proved to be entertaining, and we all enjoyed the show.

It took place onscreen using what they called digital puppetry, but real actors provided the voices. This meant the monsters on the screen were able to interact with the audience, and there was a second, smaller screen to the left of the main screen that featured various audience members in a humorous light. I think this was what the boys enjoyed the most, especially when I became one of the people featured.

I had lost my hat on our second go on Space Mountain and didn't realize my hair got pretty messed up after that happened. The boys never said anything about it at the time, or when we were eating, and it wasn't something that crossed my mind, so I was a bit shocked when my image showed up on the smaller screen.

I soon became referred to as 'that guy' and became the focal point of some of the gags, such as when one of the monsters said, "I know how I'm going to dress up for Halloween… I'm going as that guy. At a different point another one said, "I know monsters are supposed to be scary but are we as scary looking as that guy?" The boys found this to be hilarious. They also got a kick when they were featured on screen with me, and the monster asked, "Are you boys with that guy?" When they shouted back that they were, the monster said, "You must be very brave, because I wouldn't want to be with that guy." The final time a monster zinged me was when one of them asked another monster, "Should we take up a collection to buy that guy a comb." Once again this was done to the boys' delight.

"I thought this show was gonna be terrible and boring," Laine said when the show ended, "but it was pretty good. I loved how they kept jokin' with you."

"Yeah, they kept making fun of Dad and called him 'that guy,' " Dakota stated and then laughed.

"I liked when they asked if we was with him," Jamie added.

"Yeah, I liked seein' us on the small screen," Caleb concurred.

"Do you boys want to keep making fun of me or do you want to go on another ride, because we've done everything I had on my list."

"Can we go back to where we were yesterday and ride on Big Thunder Mountain again?" Laine asked. "We've already done Space Mountain twice today."

"Sure, we can do that if it's what you boys want to do."

"Yeah, and we can go on Splash Mountain too," Glen added.

"Yeah, let's do that," the others concurred.

After I agreed, I knew we had a long walk to get there, so I suggested we stop to use the restroom along the way. After I did my business, I took a minute to straighten my hair afterward. I looked better now, but I knew it wouldn't stay this way after we went on the rides again because I no longer had my hat.

"I don't wanna be in front this time," Caleb announced when we came to Splash Mountain, seeing it was the first ride we came to. "I don't wanna get wet again."

"I see your point, but we filled up a log by ourselves, so someone has to sit in the front," I countered, "but you can sit in the back seat this time.

"I'll sit in front," Glen offered.

"And I will too," Laine agreed.

"Can I sit in back with Caleb?" Jamie asked.

"Sure, that's fine with me, so Dakota and I will ride in the middle again."

Before long we were in a log and making our way up the various conveyors, and eventually we were going down the drops, including the big one near the end. Once again the two in the front got soaked, while Dakota and I got slightly wet, and Jamie and Caleb stayed mostly dry. We all had fun, though, and now we headed over to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

This time Jamie rode with me, and Caleb sat next to his brother, with the other two sitting together as well. The ride was exciting, but not nearly as much as before, and I attributed that to the fact that we'd been spoiled by riding on Space Mountain twice earlier. Once this ride ended, we made our way over to the area where we'd catch the bus back to the villa, and then we settled in until we got to the resort. It had been a fun day, and we still had two more days left before we headed home.
