He loved wilderness and untouched nature, love shared by his sons and wife; that was the cause he had bought that wonderful off-road-diesel-four-wheel-car imported from UK; however, today seemed he didn't see that beauty. He was absentminded driving slowly without any objective to reach; he could not take out of his mind the recent events. Just a year before, he was a successful middle-aged man with a lovely and happy family, his wife Nora and his 10 and 12 y/o clever beautiful boys. They had travelled to Europe with his father and mother in law to visit his wife's Irish ancestors land and to spend a good and deserved holidays that they had enjoyed. After a month, he had to return to US because business needed his attention, promising they would be reunited just a couple of weeks later, so they could spend the last three weeks of September on board of their 12-metres wonderful ship, now abandoned somewhere in a little fishing port in California. He received the terrible news of the aircraft crash; he returned to Germany to barely identify the corpses of his family. Then the funeral in Baltimore. His sensitive body could not resist so many misfortunes; business were abandoned and later auctioned to pay the remained debts; he went into a hospital with a deep depression; he did not want to live, he wanted to die and meet his family; he could not commit suicide because he was a Christian believer; he stopped eating, but that was a form of suicide as father John told him. The priest and friend helped him, and after six months he started normally feeding his body. Tears disappeared and the depression continued in the form of nightmares. The doctor, a friend of his, advised him to go out and face reality, that he was not the only one in the world to suffer; Jesus had done before him. He assumed that the death could not come to help him in the hospital, so he accepted their recommendations, left everything and took his car. He wanted to go to California and sail alone with his boat until Mother Nature, God or whoever was to decide his destiny. It was early; he had spent near all the day and night before driving and his body felt tired demanding a rest; as previous days and months, his mind was a swirl of thoughts about his family; he saw his beautiful children calling him and his adored wife extending out his arms to him; tears started again pouring along his cheeks. Yes, he was deeply depressed. Instinctively he took the first motorway's exit that he found and after some kilometres he stopped the car near a gas station, switched off the engine and reclined on the seat. A minute later he was hard asleep. Again his nightmares repeated, his children calling him: "Dad, come with us, please come with us." Tears again dropped along his tortured face. The bright sun woke him up; he drove to the gas station and as a ghost he asked to fill the tank with diesel. He saw a small shop and stumbling entered in it; he saw an old man paying for a lottery ticket; suddenly he heard the voice of the young man behind the encounter: "Do you want to make a bet, sir?" His mind was somewhere except on what the young man was kindly asking him. "Excuse me sir, do you want a bet?" He looked at him again and mechanically answered: "Yes, yes, sure." The shop owner observed his doubts and he thought that man could be sick. He then insisted: "Are you alright, sir?" "Yes, yes, thank you." As he did not move the man started preparing a random bet; he extended to him the little electronic pad. "Please, introduce your password." Patrick punched on the digital pad twice. The machine produced a ticket and he paid for it, introducing it into his wallet. As coming from the outer world he again heard the young man asking: "Do you want anything else, sir? He thought for a moment, they were alone in the little shop. "Yes, I want all necessary for camping in the mountains with my two sons, canned food, bread, soap. everything we will need for the weekend." The man again glanced at him, he was going to tell that man that it was not a good moment for camping because the weather forecasts have announced storms and rain, especially in the mountains; however he had not many customers at this time of the year and he thought he should not interfere with the man's business. So, since Patrick did not move, he thought he wanted him to prepare the purchase. The shop's man took a large carton box and was putting in it all he thought the man would need. He was a camper, too; so he knew about it. "I am very fond of camping, so I have put all what I think you and your boys might need." He extracted some banknotes and paid; the young man got the heavy box to the off road car and wished him a good trip. Yet he was not sure how that man could go, besides he did not see any children. "Probably they are waiting for him some where. He is acting as a zombie." He thought. Patrick engulfed in his own thoughts and depression started the engine and slowly he went to the road; instead of turning to the left to return to the motorway he did to the right, starting to climb the way to the high mountains. The sky was getting very dark, showing some lighting high on the peaks; however he did not see anything and continued driving as if Mother Nature was going to obey him. After a couple of kilometres he could only see trees and more trees and a few of closed wooden houses. About two or three hours of slow drive thru a very winding road, he found himself in the mid of a wild forest; suddenly a strong thunder brought him out of his thoughts and for a moment he woke up as he was in danger. He saw a narrow and non-paved trail on his right, scarcely he could see a cottage in a clear of the forest; he drove the car and parked in the centre of the clear. That was a refuge for people camping or hiking, a mounting hut; he knew well this type of building made from strong lumber. He descended from the car as heavy drops of rain started. Suddenly two boys with knives in his right hands appeared in front of him threatening: "Your money! Come on, your money!" The elder boy shouted. The man saw the taller boy with the knife pointing to him; instinctively he tried to disarm the boy, abruptly his body reacted; the instinct of survive and the danger pushed his brain up to a maximum limit of strength, taking him out from that nightmare and into reality. The boy thought his life was at risk and attacked the man. Patrick was a strong man even now that he had spent a year into a hospital; he tried to catch the boy arm but he pulled forward the sharp knife making a long cut wound along the man's right arm, from the elbow to near his wrist. The sharp pain fully awoke him and Patrick defended his life; with his left hand gave a tremendous blow to the boy on his shoulder; he fell on the wet land near a tree; his young dirty head chocked against a hard tree root or a rock. The boy stopped moving and in that moment a heavy hailstorm started. The younger one that saw his mate on the floor reacted violently with rage and tears in his eyes: "You have killed him, I'll kill you!" He shouted, blindly he attacked the man; Patrick tried to stop him even risking his other arm, but the smaller boy slipped thru his arms and stabbed the man on his upper left leg, near the loin. Patrick felt the coldness of the iron into his flesh and how the blood started coming out from the wound; the boy could not repeat his action since the knife was nailed up in his leg. Patrick wrapped his strong hand round the boy's neck and pulled him on the floor as the hailstones hit their heads and faces. He extracted the knife, closed it and put into his pocket; then lifted the boy and obliged him to walk into the hut without making any resistance to the man. Now the storm was even heavier and he could see that the other boy was near covered with hail. There were two mats recently used; some trash on the floor and an open wardrobe; he took a piece of rope and expertly tied the boy hands and legs not very tight, so it did not interfere with blood circulation; the boy did not make any move against the man. He looked to him and as he saw the man's wounds he started to cry and murmuring: "Oh God, my God, what have I done? Please, forgive me, please forgive me; sorry, I am very sorry; I did not mean that; we did not mean that!" Taken to the limit, Patrick had reacted, he heard the boy crying but he said nothing. It seemed to him another nightmare, but now it was real. What was he doing in that place? What had happened to him? Immediately all the events of the past year came to his mind, however he thought about the boy that was lying under the ice and the reality overwhelmed him. "I need to save him." He thought. He stood and saw some drops of blood pouring to the floor; a sharp pain in his loin warned him about his wound. Limping as the pain hit his leg, he went out of the hut. Mixed hail and water was pouring from the sky as he had ever seen before; the boy was covered with a thick layer of thirty centimetres of ice. He dived on the spot and soon found him; he pulled the light body up into his arms and went into the wooden building, closing the heavy door with his back; he dropped him on the other mat. The other boy started to cry loudly. "Oh God, my God! What have we done?" Tears run abundantly along his dirty cheeks. Patrick checked the bluish face of the boy, he touched the pulse and found nothing; probably he had lost blood and besides he looked very weak; he was practically dead. He opened the boy shirt and started strongly pushing on the boy chest alternatively blowing air thru the boy mouth. The younger boy understood the danger in what his friend was, assuming he was near dead. Again he cried and pleaded God to save him. After a minute or so, the young body responded to the massages and started to breath; however he started to tremble hardily. Patrick took off the wet clothes until he was naked. He opened his own shirt and jacket pulling the boy to him in an attempt to warm him up. He glanced around and could see some blankets on the wardrobe, he immediately took one and wrapped the boy with it; he knew that was not sufficient and the boy could go into coma again and that would be definitive, even if he could call a helicopter he would not have succeed. He took another blanket and started rubbing the boy's back and chest, but the trembling continued. It was very dark outside and the storm continued pouring hail and water. Suddenly he saw in the corner of the large room an iron stove. "Why have I not seen it before?" He thought. He laid the trembling boy on the mat, looked into the wardrobe and found a can with gas used to feed the lamp; the stove was full of wooden sticks, so he dropped some gas and lighted it opening the total air entry. Before a minute, he heard the nice buzz noise of the flames into the stove. His loin ached terribly and he was near to faint, but he needed to warm up the boy; so with great effort he dragged the mat near the stove where it could be appreciate the heat. After a few minutes the boy stopped trembling and a pink colour replaced the blue on his cheeks. "He is saved!" He is saved! He murmured. He caressed tenderly the boy scrambled and dirty hair and brought his face to his, kissing him on the forehead. The younger boy had been watching him carefully all the time without moving. When Patrick thought the room was warmed enough, he dragged the mat and boy to the original place and put more wood into the stove. Then took the lamp and lighted it. The younger boy was astonished; he couldn't believe what the man was doing to his friend after they had stabbed him. He dared to ask: "Is he alright, sir?" The man looked into those beautiful blue and sad eyes; he knew the boy needed to be comforted; he felt pity for him, but also he knew he had to learn that violence was not the right way to ask for anything; yet he knew those were strange circumstances; as he did not answer he heard between sobs from the boy. "I am sorry sir; I did not mean that, we did not want to hurt you, we are so starved." The boy understood that his friend was alright and that this man had rescued him from the death. He put his head down and soon he was asleep. When Patrick thought the little boy was asleep, he approached him, caressed his dirty blond hair and kissed him on the forehead as he murmured: "He will be alright, son." The boy was not fully asleep and he clearly heard the man's words. He thought those were the same words that his father would have said. He had to make a great effort to stop his tears going out again; this time he got hard asleep. Patrick stood with some difficulty and tried to open the door, he needed the first-aid kit he had in the car, but it was impossible, near a metre of ice blockaded the hut and car's doors. He went back to the wardrobe and could see a first-aid box; it contained some bandages, scissors and a little of red liquid to disinfect wounds; someone forgot to replace it; also he saw half a bottle of whiskey and two not very clean towels. He took it to the floor near the boy that still was unconscious but breathing smoothly; he turned around the naked body and could see the wound. It had poured abundant blood, probably it stopped due to the ice, so with one of the towels he washed the wound and the big bump carefully; poured some of the red liquid and banged it. The warmness of the room and his tiredness dropped him near the boy asleep. He needed to cure himself, otherwise he might get an infection, especially on his arm, however, he could not stop getting asleep. A couple of hours later he woke up still thinking about his wounds; the boys were sleeping and quiet, but the younger boy was not. He kept his eyes near closed, but he was watching the man. Patrick realised that the little boy had suffered enough, he felt pity for him, so before he proceeded to cure himself, he put a pot with water on top on the stove and added a few pieces of wood; he returned to where he boys were, extracted the knife pointing to the younger one; he thought the man would stab him, but his face denoted fear and happiness at the same time; he could not believe the man were to kill him. He thought he deserved to be punished. However, things were different and he was not wrong about the man. Patrick approached the boy and cut the cords round his hands and ankles, totally freeing him; then he dragged one of the blankets and covered him. Yet he contemplate the dirty face for a few seconds, the man sighed and placed a kiss again on the boy-tanned forehead. The boy remained quiet without moving a muscle, but when the man sat in front of him he opened the eyes enough to see him and not be detected. Patrick took off his shoes, the blood stained trousers and underwear, he looked to the wound on his loin and touched it with care; a grimace on his face showed the pain he experienced; he stood, brought the hot water and with some cotton he washed the wound; fortunately his underwear was not stained; dropped the remnant of the red liquid and as a professional he banged his leg. The boy was astounded to see the man's large flaccid dick; it has been a long time since he saw his father's when they showered together; those memories blurred his eyes. Patrick then put on his underwear and looked at his arm; that was a different matter; the wound was superficial but long enough to get infected and dangerous. He needed to wash and disinfect it, otherwise he could risk losing it, even his life in that isolated place; but the problem was that he only had the whiskey and he knew the terrible pain he would feel when the alcohol dropped into the wound. He thought for a moment watching the boys that now depended on him; he stood, brought the boiling water and with care and a piece of cotton he washed the long cut; a little amount of blood started to flow as he removed some scratches, but soon it sopped. He put some clean gauze on the wound and bandaged it; he took the bottle of whiskey and emptied part of it in the old sink, then sat again on the mat facing the sleeping boys; he knew what would happen and he did not want to risk the bottle incidentally could reach the stove and get on flames; so he poured the total of its content on the bandage, as soon the liquid reached the wound a tremendous pain hit his body and he passed out laying on the mat. The little boy had watched the man's action and a muffled cry escape from his throat; he knew what has happened, he had seen the same action many times to his father. He quickly stood and checked the man that was breathing, then he covered him with his own blanket and after near a minute of contemplation he bent over and kissed the man forehead. "Now is my turn to look after you, dad." He murmured his most intimate and secret words. The first thing that he did was to take a brood and swept the floor; he picked all the trash up and put it into a paper bag he found in the wardrobe. He filled with water a bucket and with some effort he put it on top of the stove; he knew he was dirty and wanted to be clean; probably he stank badly and he could not notice; his father always taught him he must keep clean, however John seemed not being concerned about this problem. When he felt the water was near to boil he dropped the man's blood stained trousers; he wanted to get rid of that particular stain that reminded him what he had done; the same did with all John's clothes. He took a piece of raw soap he found in the wardrobe and dropped it with the clothes; he stirred them with a piece of wood and immediately he could observe how the fabrics were recovering its original colours. Once they seemed clean, he extracted them one by one and rinsed under the water pump. He felt happy to see the clothes clean. He put two chairs near the stove and hanged all garments to dry. He was so engulfed in his task that he did not noticed Patrick had woken up and was watching him with satisfaction. "Well done, little boy, I am naked waist down, but I can manage. Thank you." The boy spun and blushed; he wanted to give him a surprise finding his own clothes clean. "How do you feel, Sir? "Much better, I think I will survive. By the way, call me Patrick. Which's your name? "My name's Franklin, but everybody calls me Ben, it is my second name. I hate that but my mother liked it." He said those words with some sadness. "We should have been asked before our parents named us, but unfortunately we were too little and after that there is not an easy solution to solve the problem. "I, I, thought it would be a good idea to wash my clothes too; I must stink though I can't notice." He blushed again. "It is an excellent idea, however you must have a good bath too; I suppose your mom does not like you to wear clean clothes on a dirty body." The boy got sad and bent his head to hide a couple of tears. He spun in order to prevent the man's seeing him. "I, I, don't have parents; they died some time ago in an air crash." "Sorry, Ben; the story repeated for some of us." He changed the subject. "Please Ben, can you give me my jacket? The boy mentally thanked him. Patrick extracted the knife, made a cut in the centre of the blanket and dropped it on his head as a Mexican poncho; then with a piece of cord he tied it up round his waist. "You see, now I am dressed." The boy grinned for the first time. "Now you can do the same and drop your clothes into the bucket for boiling them I am sure your brother will thank you for your job." "John is not my brother, thought he is something especial for me, better than a brother. "A good friend is better than a brother." Patrick stood and took the keys of the car. "Ben, fill that cooking pot with water and place it near the bucket." He went to the door and pushed it open with his butt; a draught of wet air entered into the warm hut; it had stopped raining and the sky looked its magnificent splendour of a clear night in the mountains; the storm had gone and most of the hail had been melted by the rainfall. For some moments he started to think about his new situation and the boys. They had woken him up from his deep depression; he now clearly remembered his days in the hospital; his friends trying to save his life and finally that doctor that put all the risks leaving him alone; he could have died, even he had been very near, but that was not the cause to blame these boys; he guessed they had been forced to survive in those forests as animals; they must have a good reason for it. He thought he owed them too much in spite the wounds, hoping to have the chance to thank them for it; yet his first task was to feed them. They looked starved as could count their young ribs without much effort. Something different were the old scars on the elder boy's back; he had been clearly whipped by someone; that would have been enough to call the police and show them, but he thought the boys were running away from something or someone; he will later find out. "I must care of them, in such a way, we all are runners." He thought. As he was closing the door the elder boy moaned and woke up; immediately Ben went near him on the bed with an open smile; the boy tried to touch his head but he found his hands and feet were tied up. He smiled to his friend. "Ben, please untie me; what has happened? My head aches a lot. Why am I tied?" Ben related him the events step by step. When he finished he sighed. "I envied you when he kissed your forehead, he reminded me my father. I have never seen a happier face as when your heart started beating again; he them caressed your hair, kissed you forehead and pulled you to his chest; he only wanted to give you his own warmth, to save you. He did not care about his own injures until he was sure you were saved." They kept silence, John thinking about his friend's words that sank deep into him; he had not ever been treated like that; he only knew whips, shouts and strong words near him; he had hated everyone, except Ben; especially every adult that only abused him since he could remember; that was against his own way of thinking; "How an adult could behave like that?" he thought, that was almost impossible for him, but Ben never lied him, he was more than a friend for him, even more than a brother. He raised his eyes and looked into Ben's deep blue eyes, those eyes he loved so much and would give his own life for them. He said near as a pray: "I can't believe that, Ben. You well know how hard has been for us in that terrible house, and even you did not know the worst, only the scars on my back." Ben hugged him tenderly. "You know I love you, John; I would never lie you; I think he is special; he looks as he had suffered a lot and perhaps there are men and women not like those we found. I have told you many times that my parents were different and would have been happy adopting you." "Yes, but they are dead and probably this man will call the police and everything will start again." Patrick was entering into the hut with a plastic bag full of canned food and bread. He heard the last words of the elder boy. He looked to the couple, put the bag near the stove and extracted the knife from his pocket. John looked at him with some panic in his eyes, but Patrick cut the rope in silence, then he said: "Boy, you can believe me or not, but you can be sure about one thing: I will never call the police. We are not criminals, so we have nothing to report to them. What shall I say? That I was so silly that I fell into an old trap for wolves and that two young brave boys rescued me?" The boys looked into each other eyes in disbelief as Patrick added pointing out to the bag that he had left near the stove: "You are free to go, however, not before I can feed those bony bodies." Ben then argued: "Patrick, that is not the truth, and you know that." The man interrupted him ruffling his dirty apparently blond hair. "That's the truth and nothing but the truth; and you must put that into your minds; and now we have many urgent things to do that talk about police; we can talk about it later, if you like; now my preferences are to prepare something to feed two starving boys. Can you help?" The astonished boys stood and in that moment the teenager saw he was naked. Ben laughed at him, he raised his own blanket and John could see he was naked too. "It is a good idea that poncho. Patrick, can I borrow your knife?" He blushed thinking what he had done to him only a few hours before. He cut the blanket and dropped it over his head; he could observe that Patrick was also naked waist down; he saw the powerful thighs of the man covered with a light black hair. "Can I help, Patrick." The man smiled. "Yes, please. Bring me that small cooking pot and drop in it some of the boiling water." The boy did as told while Ben was placing the clothes near the stove introducing new pieces of wood in it. Patrick extracted two tablets of concentrated chicken-beef broth and dropped into the small pot. Then opened two cans of precooked meat, vegetables and a small block of butter and put them into the bigger pot with some salt and pepper that he had found in the wardrobe. He put them on the stove and after a few minutes a lovely smell spread in the hut. The boys' mouths watered and their guts expressed their content with muffled sounds. They laughed again looking each other. "It is ages since I smell something like that." Ben said. John approached the man while he was removing the stew with a plastic spoon, bent his head and said: "I am ashamed and sorry Patrick for what we did to you. We don't deserve what you are doing; Ben told me about what you did to rescue my life; I, I, I don't really know what to say." Patrick spun, raised the teenagers' chin and looked into a pair of large black eyes and world record eyelashes. "You don't need to say anything else John; you believe it or not, I owe you more than you might think; but those confidences are for later on. Please clean the table. In the bag there are plastic plates, spoon and forks. The stew will be ready within minutes." He quickly went to comply the man's orders. Patrick took the small pot and filled the plates with thick soup, giving them two slices of bread. "I know you are starved, but you must be very careful now and eat slowly, otherwise your stomach may cramp." The boys eagerly started eating the nutritive soup that they finished in seconds. "How does it feel?" They smiled because they did not know whether he referred to the soup or to the stomach. Ben answered. "It has a glorious flavour. Please, may I have a little more?" Patrick appreciated the education that Ben had received; normally a boy of his age would have used the verb "can". Instead of answering him, he went to the stove and brought the big pot. With the help of a large spoon he filled both dishes again, this time with cooked meat, thick gravy and another large slices of brown bread. He then recommended. "Please eat slow, there is enough in the pot to feed you three times, however, your stomachs need to accept it slowly." In spite of the boys had not have any proper feeding for a long time they behave as a rational human beings, yet John was strictly following Ben's steps. The elder boy suddenly stopped, and looked to the man. "What about you, Patrick? You look as starved as we are. The man knew that the boy's old armour of resentment had been broken out a little. He looked at him and ruffled his dirty black hair. "You are right John; I am hungry, too." He put some stew in his plate and started eating watching the children how the colour of their faces was returning to them. They slowly finished their food. "Are you satisfied?" The man asked. "I could eat a little more but Ben had said me many times that we should not leave our stomachs fully satisfied, especially before going to bed." The elder boy admitted. "He is absolutely right." He saw how the little boy flushed. Now that our stomachs are full we need to go ahead with our next step." Immediately John answered. "In spite of my little headache, my strength has returned. Please let me know what shall I do; we will leave the leftovers for tomorrow's breakfast." The man grinned satisfied; those months living on their own had taught them more than many books or school lessons. "Not much. Sorry but both of you stink and probably I too, therefore we need to get rid of that odour from our bodies." The boys looked each other, they knew the man was right in both ways; he also needed a good wash too. He continued. "Normally in this type of hut the authorities also care about the hygiene, so inside the wood store must be a round wooden tub as they used in the old times in the public bathhouses; please see there, if I am right." They stood, opened the heavy door and saw in the corner what the man has told; the boys dragged it and gyrated into the large room. "Now John, wash it while Ben places another bucket full of water on the stove. I'll feed it with new wood so the water starts boiling quickly." Patrick went to the car and once again the efficiency of the shop-man was thus demonstrated; he had included some shampoo, soap and sponges. He got a large bottle and entered in the hut. His surprise was great when he found the boys naked and working filling the tub. He could see the lovely slim bodies; he could count their ribs. The boys realised his presence and again they blushed. Ben then said: "We hope you don't mind, Patrick; it is too warm here and besides we must get naked to wash up." The man smiled, went to them and ruffled their hair. He could see the teenager penis was semi erected. He had a few pubes over it assuming he had gone into puberty recently. "This is a free country and as far as you don't hurt anyone, you can do whatever you like. I am not a fundamentalist and admit any position and thought. Furthermore, My sons and I used to go to naturist beaches spots; not my wife, she always wore her swimsuit." The last sentence brought him some memories and had to turn aside his face in order the boys could not see the blur in his eyes; but they were not silly and the tone of the man's voice detected the terrible pain. For the first time in his life, John understood that there were other persons that suffered besides Ben and himself and that there were pains even stronger than those caused by a whip. The boys left what they were doing and hugged the man's waist at unison from behind. That took him aback because he never expected that reactions from so young and strange boys. They looked at him with their dirty faces and Ben said: "Sorry Patrick, it was hard to lose my parents but it must be harder to lose sons." Patrick pulled to him their dirty heads and instinctively kissed their hair. He handled the shampoo to them. "Come on, start scrubbing each other and have some fun; I also need a good bath." The boys changed the subject. "Yes, we'll wash one another as we did in the stream." John said. "Yes, and later on, when we finished, you have to allow us to wash you as your children did in the past to you." Ben blue eyes looked at the man's; in such a way he wanted to get rid of the man's pain. "Please, say yes." "Yes, you little rascals." He ruffled again their hair as they reached the big tub and started pouring the hot water. An hour later, between laughs the boys and the man washed each other. Clean and fed, those bodies needed rest to recover from the events of that historical day that would mark the rest of their lives. Patrick had removed John's head bandage and put an adhesive and some disinfections liquid from his first-aid box. He cured his own wounds and some minutes later they were under the blankets hard asleep; the two boys on one mat and Patrick on the other, but forming a large single bed. They left for the next day all the questions and answers. Chapter 2 - Questions and Answers The food and the restful night made miracles in the young bodies; their strength returned and with it the hormones, especially in the young teenager. It was dawn because John could hear the faint noise of the birds in the trees near the hut and the weak light entering thru the dirty window. His dick was hard and he had his arm round his friend hips; he carefully approached to him and his cock slid between the smooth thighs, his crotch now stick to his bum. He had fucked his friend's legs many times during the time they had been living in these wild forests; he liked it but the man was sleeping only a metre far from them. In silence he started fucking him, he slid his left arm round him and touched his friend's little dick that also was hard, so he assumed he was not asleep. He kissed Ben's back neck and started moving his hips; he loved the smell of his friend now that he was clean. John gasps and muffled moans were heard in the quietness of the morning. Ben smiled, he wanted that as much as his friend now that he felt John's fingers round his hard penis; he turned around facing John, they looked at each other and hugged very tight, their cocks rubbing their crotches. "I don't want to wake him up." Ben said in a quiver near his friend's ear. John pulled his beautiful head from his friend and as they had done many times their mouths met and started a long and wet kiss. "I needed to feel you so close." John said. "Me too, he and his food have done the miracle. What do you want to do?" "I don't know, I feel the need of a release, my cock is harder than a rock." Ben slid his hand and took John's cock in his fingers. "I would like to fuck your legs or your butt but." "That means too much noise, besides I don't like your dick into my butt." "I know. Let's suck each other in a 69 position." "I'll love that; be careful not to moan too loud when the lovely feeling arrives." He grinned. "I'll try, but I am not fully confidence on it." Saying that he pulled Ben on top of him as he took the 69's position. He loved sucking his young friend, to put his whole package into his mouth and especially to draw back his slim and long penis foreskin with his lips and finds that beautiful little cherry in his mouth and tongue. As he did that, he felt his cock near totally engulfed in Ben's mouth and how his tongue rubbed tenderly his cock's head. Instinctively they started fucking each other mouth and could not avoid gasps and muffled moans from their throats. John made an agreed touch on Ben's butt cheek and he stopped fucking his mouth. They agreed to stop when they felt were near orgasm; especially John, in order to extend their pleasure for as long as they could. In spite of being under the blanket John raised one side of the cover to see the beautiful bum in front of his nose, the long, thin and hard penis waiting to be sucked and the gap between his friend's balls and his rose pucker. He was clean and smelled lovely; he could not help himself, he extended his tongue and started licking that part of Ben's body. The sensation that the younger boy felt was expressed with a muffled moan and taking John's cock into his mouth again. They resumed their lovemaking, and a couple of minutes later, Ben felt how John raised his hips in an attempt to fuck his throat. A couple of seconds of silence and John spurted his small load of clear semen into Ben's mouth. Near at the same time, the younger boy stiffened and stopped sucking his friend as his dick jerked into John's mouth in his dry orgasm. They remained quiet for a couple of minutes breathing hard, then John recovered his original position in front of his friend's face; they looked into each other eyes and kissed tenderly savouring the semen that Ben kept in his mouth. "I love you, Benny. You are so beautiful and especially so good to me that I would give my life for you." Ben kissed tenderly again his friend. John called him Benny only in those tender moments. "I know that John. I still don't know what will happen to us; but I'll be near you whenever you need me, for everything." John knew that was purely true; he kissed his little lover and hugged. In a few minutes they were again asleep. Patrick was fully awoken; he had heard and seen the boys' explorations of their sexuality as he called it. It was not the first time; his children did it with his mates, especially when they were camping far from their mom; and he had explained them that they had to enjoy those explorations, and that those actions meant nothing but fun, there would not therefore be any shame; later on they would discover their own sexuality already written in their genes from the beginning of the times. Unfortunately his sons had not had time to see the outcome in their bodies. A blur started in his eyes as he turned his head and got asleep. Patrick woke up and saw the boys asleep cuddled in a common hug, their faces near each other and the beautiful pink colour in their cheeks. "What beautiful creatures they are! What injustice is the life treating these lovely boys without mercy as if they were criminals! I'll do my best to rectify this." He thought. He fed the stove, put a pot with water on it to shave and prepare some milk for the boys. After shaving his face he took from the car a large can of condensed milk and dropped half of it into the pot. He also heated the leftovers from the previous night and put some slices of bread to toast. The smell spread over the room as the boys started to stir. Ben raised his naked half body and probably his instinct or perhaps that he was half asleep as he said: "Thank you dad for the lovely breakfast, I am starved." Patrick and John heard that, the man looked at the boy that deeply blushed. "I mean." But Patrick had approached him, kissed his forehead and caressed his silky blond hair. He really was a gorgeous boy. "That's alright sons." He said it in plural and looking into John's deep black eyes. "Now, please, get a quick wash, breakfast is ready." John looked closely to the man's face already shaved. "You are a very handsome man, sure women want." Patrick smiled before the unfinished sentence. "Not as cute as you both are. You make a very attractive pair and surely girls would be more than happy getting a kiss from you." They all smiled and the boys jumped from the bed. They dressed on underwear as Patrick was, and sat down round the table. They eagerly ate the leftovers and toasts, and after the hard food, they drank a jug of milk while Patrick did the same, but put some instant coffee in the milk. After finishing cleaning dishes and the hut, Patrick said: Let's have a walk and talk, it is a beautiful and warm day that invites to enjoy Mother Nature, besides the rain has cleaned all trees and the little rivers must have increased their water flow. I don't think we will have any visitors during the next few days." The boys looked each other, they knew what that could mean, but above all, they deep knew the man would never mistreat them. They walked in silence together, the man limping a little due to the ache in his leg. They arrived to a clear in the forest from which they could contemplate a large landscape of green; to the left, the high peaks scattered with trees that soon would be covered with snow; they also saw long away the smoke from some small mills in the village. They comfortably sat on an old trunk, Ben on his right and John on his left. John said: "It is a beautiful and peaceful place; I will never forget the last few hours spent in these forests. "I too." Ben added. Patrick sighed and the three kept silence for a while. Then Patrick looking to the distance he started. "Yes, these few hours have change many things, at least for me. I assume your yesterday's behaviour was caused by something strange to you, as your starvation, and I have not the minimum doubts that you never thought to hurt me, however, things developed in a different way, but that does not change my opinion; what really puzzle me is the fact how you arrived to this critical situation. Of course, you might have your own reasons and I would like to know them, if you don't mind; but I must stress that anything that you say will change what I have said before. I suppose you would like to know how and why I came here, too; I'll let you know the circumstances after you tell me yours; if you agree. Please Ben, start yourself, I want only the pure truth, we don't need your story in details, unless you want it." Ben looked his friend as he said: "Alright. I was born in New Jersey, my parents were both MD contracted by UN to do some investigation, mostly in Europe; we spent a few years in Germany and France, and one year in Spain, so I can speak both languages as my mother language, and Spanish roughly well; my parents loved me dearly, they never contracted anyone to babysitting me, they always were at the school or kindergarten's gates to pick me up, and weekends were spent playing with me in the parks or at home. We made short hikes together; in summary they were the best parents that a boy could have." Saying that a couple of tears run along his beautiful cheeks. "Two years ago they thought I needed a school in our country while they were preparing their return to US. They hired a beautiful house and I started in that expensive private boarding school while they went to Germany to finish their work, promising to return for my 10th birthday. Only two months we would be separated; however, flying from Netherlands to Frankfurt the plane crashed and both died. "I don't want to describe what followed. No one appeared to pay my school and I could not remember of any relatives that could take care of me, so I was sent to a social house hoping someone could adopt me. An incident with an elder boy, who wanted to rape me, sent me to the orphanage; so I went from bad to worst. In the orphanage there was a gang of older boys that made sex to the younger and amongst themselves, that with the consent of some guardians that took them to their bed too. They said I was a pretty boy and wanted to fuck me. I resisted and fought them with all my strength but in vain; they obliged me and finally my resistance broke and I gave up accepting the unavoidable, otherwise, I thought, I would have died or gravely injured. The guardians took me to a man's bed a few times; he treated me well and gave me candies, I sucked his penis and he did the same to me, but he never raped me; that prevented the other boys doing it to me, because he was an important person and all guardians took good care to comply his orders." As he paused in silence for a moment, Patrick said: "Bastards! Why didn't you tell to the social assistants? "I did, but they also were involved, besides, that person was very important and could have removed her or him, and they did not want to lose their profitable jobs since this man was very rich and pay them for their service. After a few months, a twelve-year-old boy, to whom all the rest respected, returned to the orphanage, even the guardians; he had been in the orphanage before, so everybody named him as John. He had fought a boy two years older than himself in the social house and they had to take him to the hospital with a broken arm, so he was returned to the orphanage as a punishment. He was a very handsome boy and very strong; the boys said that he had been punished because they found him in the bed with two girls from the female section. He was a real boss to whom all of them obeyed. The other boys gathered round him telling about my pretty face, so offering me to his bed; they took me to a secret place they had and left me alone with him. It was true; he was not pretty but handsome with curly black hair, and magnetic eyes of the same colour, and the largest eyelashes I have ever seen. I noticed a lovely dimple that formed in his right cheek when he smiled me. He was sat on the bed already naked and his penis was hard; when he saw me he spent a couple of minutes examining me from top to toe, then he extended out his arms to me; reluctantly I dropped into his arms, he raised my chin and kissed me on the lips tenderly. I felt something strange and warm thru my body while his lips were stick to mine and his left arm rubbed my back gently. He broke the tender kiss and separated from me, he looked into my eyes and caressed my hair, he said: "Benny, no one will touch you again, if you don't want it, do you understand? Nobody! I promise." He caressed my hair and kissed me again a peck on the lips; impulsively I hugged him and started to sob on his left shoulder. He kissed me again on the cheeks and with a gentle voice he murmured on my ear: "Your bad times are over, please Benny, don't cry, you break my heart." I could not stop as my body convulsed when he called me Benny, because that was the way my dad used to me. He pulled me to him very tight repeating between kisses on my forehead and hair: "Please Benny, please, don't cry or I will end up crying too." After some minutes he raised my chin and kissed my eyes. He took a paper handkerchief and cleaned my tears, he again looked into my eyes and I stopped sobbing. We remained like that with my arms round his bare chest for a few minutes; he caressing my hair and comforting me with kisses. He then said: "Benny I got to get dressed, I can't go outside naked and with my stiff cock showing to everybody." I smiled, I think for the first time since I came into the orphanage. I saw his cock was still hard and oozing precum; but I felt so comfortable and secure in his arms that I did not want to break that hug; I raised my eyes and for the first time I looked into his directly and asked: "Don't you like me, John?" He seemed surprised because he caressed my hair again stammering: "I, I, I don't know Benny what is happening to me, but I never liked anyone as I like you. You are so, so beautiful that." Saying that softly I separated from him and before he could realise I was nude; he seemed in another world confused, amazed. I pulled him down on the bed and before he reacted my mouth was glued to his and my tongue parting his teeth. That was the first time I did that voluntarily and at my own initiative. I was on top of him, needn't to say what followed; he woke from his astonishment and we started rubbing our crotches and slippery dicks until dry orgasms exhausted us. As I was cuddle in his arms, near a whisper I said: "John, I like you a lot, well I think that I love you." He did not expect that declaration of love because he turned me in front of him: "Benny, do you really mean that? Are you sure?" I answered him "Yes I am." He exploded in joy, he was exultant; we kissed hard as he repeated several times: "I love you, too, Benny! I love you my angel" He could not stop kissing me and I felt the happiest boy in the world. I think he can continue because he is my John." Patrick looked at both boys and John raised his head, he did not move but sighed. He thought his friend had gone too far before a stranger person and he did not want tell anything about his most intimidated moments, he then said: "I, I, I think what Ben has said is enough; I don't have anything to add." Ben looked at his friend astonished, he could not believe he behave like that after what Patrick had done to him. He thought he might be shy for a moment and that later would explain himself, but he was not a shy boy at all. Patrick did not want to insist respecting the boy's wishes, so he said: "In that case, as I promised, I'll tell my story." None of the boys said anything for different reasons, so he assumed they wanted to hear it. So he started: "Before I relate my short story and while you were telling me yours I have taken a decision and a compromise with myself, no matter what your answer are to some questions that I would make." Little Benny shook and John was puzzled, his large eyes looked at the man. He then said near in a murmur: "Which decision is that, Patrick? The boys deeply knew that this man would help them in any case, so they anxiously waited his answer. Patrick staring into each boy's eyes he answered: "I am alone and you are alone, too, God or whoever runs our lives decided we met in some terrible circumstances, but those circumstances made me to awoke from my nightmare and deep depression; I would never thank you enough for what you did to me." The boys looked at each other amazed, but Patrick continued: "Above all, I have taken the decision to help and care of you; but I would like to go even further, if you want and you like me. but that much depends on you." Patrick would have liked to continue saying: "I would be the happiest man in the world, being your father; to adopt you as my legal sons." But it seemed that the elder boy had his own problems and he wanted both, not only the little one that he was sure needed a father quickly. The boys could not believe what they were hearing; Ben with a sob stood and putting his arms round Patrick's neck he hugged and kissed him. John, more reserved, remained sat near the man. He tenderly separated Ben and looked to John that seemed to be in some other place. He was unsure; he did not trust on anybody; he had suffered too much in the hands of other men. When they relaxed Patrick said: "Shall I assume that you little imps accept?" Ben was the first to answer guessing the unsaid words: "Yes, dad; no one would be a better father than you." John then sat very close to Patrick and coldly said: "Thanks for your intentions. I never had anyone who looked after me, let alone a father that I never had. I must think all about this." Ben could not believe what his friend was telling. What was going thru his mind? The little boy thought. "John, you can do whatever you think is the best for you; I will be waiting for you anytime and anywhere to help you, no matter what decision you take; however for our own safety, from now on, whenever there are strangers with us, both of you should call me dad; you are my sons and I am your father. Do you agree?" "Yes dad." Ben said immediately. John nodded. Ben then said; "Dad, you don't need to tell us your story, if you don't like," "I want to be fair with you, besides, it is necessary that you know the story because I have promised it. They shrugged expecting he to continue: "I don't know where I was born, that's a secret of my file that I did not want to disclose; I was a good cracker and I had the opportunity to find out by entering into the institution's archives." Those words put on guard John, he now wanted more than anything to hear his protector. He had mentioned the word "cracker", he had dreamed many times about to have the intelligence to be one. "My first memories, like a flashback, go to the orphanage, there was not a social houses; I remember that I liked to play with a little girl, pulling down her plaits; probably I was five. I can easily remember when I was given to a foster family to care of me; they were a retired couple and sought a complement for their scarce pensions. They explained me that when I met them I asked whether they were my grand parents; they did not answered me, but some weeks later the woman was very fond of me, probably I was good for them, and when I asked if she was my Granny she said: "Yes, but don't ask that question to grandpa, because that makes him sad as he reminds your dad." She showed me a portrait of a young man that died in one of those stupid wars initiated by politicians. They did well because my mates in the school always referred them as my grandparents; a year later they adopted me as their grandson. I was very fond of a middle-aged man, friend of my grandpa, which had a fishing boat. Every summer I spent most of my time on board helping him, he took me to a few times fishing. His son was an officer in the Navy and the year I was ten he returned to San Diego and started living with him. He had a daughter that was six months younger than I was; we immediately became best friends. Since she was a little girl she wore nothing, except Speedos like mine. I couldn't explain myself but I liked those slim legs, her blond hair and especially her red lips. We were always together on board and accompanied her granddad when he was fishing during the day. One of those days, round midday, he said: "Nora, Patrick, go under deck and get ready lunch; be careful with the dishes because the sea is a little rough." As usual we flew and when were in the narrow passage, the ship made a heavy roll and she dropped herself into my chest; we blushed deeply, but after some seconds I put my palms on her cheeks and I kissed her. We did not move; she then separated a little from me, sighed and returned the kiss. I thought I would die of happiness. I looked into those wonderful blue eyes and I said: "I love you, Nora. I love you heaps." She looked at me smiling tenderly. "I love you, too, Patrick; I have been waiting this since the first day we met. When I see you coming to where I am it is even greater than when my dad return after a long trip." We kissed again; I felt how my little pecker was harder than ever, but I did not know why. That summer was great!" Ben could observe how the man's eyes were blurred. He continued: "The following year, just a few days before we travelled to California, I was eleven, my grandpa explained me: "Patrick, you have made us the happiest old persons of the world; your coming into our lives was the best thing that had happened to us after our son. "I know that grandpa, you don't need to tell me that because I know how much you have loved me. He insisted: "You are now old enough to know something important; I don't know how to say it to you, but we don't want to leave for a later time, you must know the truth." He paused then he added: "Our son had not any children, so he was not your father." He told me all about, then adding: ".but we could not love anyone as we have loved you, including our son when he was your age." They hugged and kissed me. I felt satisfied and never talked about that subject again, mostly because my thoughts were in those lovely legs and beautiful lips of Nora that were waiting for me. As soon as we arrived I went to greet her; her eyes sparked when she saw me; we had grown a lot and she now covered her tiny nipples with her bikini. The summer was like five minutes for us with kissed and some rubs and caresses that we liked a lot. When we returned home, my best friend's elder brother caught us touching us; but instead of making a fuss of that, he smiled closed the door and explained us all what he knew about sex: sucking, jerking, and even licking a girl pussy. I remember that we felt it gross, but when he left us, we sucked each other in a 69 position that we found terrible good. Next summer was even greater; she had lovely little breasts that I enjoyed massaging and sucking. Every night I had to jerk off a few times before I could sleep. Her family had guessed our relationship but seemed to have no problem because we were very discreet. Last day we cried together for our farewell, in the last few minutes, when my family was saying goodbye to his family into the house, instinctively we went into each other arms and kissed in front of them, a love kiss. She separated from me and run upstairs to her room; I did the same but to the car. Next year when I was your age, John, we were deeply in love; she was twelve, and taking an opportunity that her parents went to visit some relatives, and her grandpa was at sea fishing, we made love for the first time together during an unforgettable week." John then said "Didn't you care she could have gotten pregnant?" "To be honest I must tell you we did not think about that; fortunately she had not yet the menstruation, it came only a month later. We shared everything and our families were enchanted with our relationship; so her parents permitted me to visit her and always were ready to look aside when they saw us kissing. The time went by, and with a scholarship I went to the capital city's university to become a senior electronic engineer. I ended the first year with excellent qualifications, but in a few days, during a very cold winter of the second year, my grandparents died. I felt very sad and alone, so I sold out our properties and went to live in our little house in California where Nora was living. I continued studding and working there. When I was twenty-three we got married and went to live to Baltimore. We both were engineers and went to work to an emerging computer company; we worked hard and a few years later, that company was ours. We earn a lot of money, we bought a large house and a boat; when she was thirty our first son, Jack, was born; he was a lovely blond boy, like you Ben, but I must recognize he was not as prettier as you are. Two years later came Ben; he was like John or me, but with straight hair. We had all what a family could wish: two beautiful boys and many friends. We used to fly to California for holidays and enjoy our near twelve metres boat. I had enlarged a little bit my house that was near the beach, to room the children. Two years ago we planned a trip to Europe to visit Ireland, my wife's ancestors' origin. I returned after two weeks, the rest of the family, my two sons, wife and her parents remained there; I never saw them again alive. An aircraft accident in Scotchland killed them." Patrick could not continue as his body shook in pain. Ben and John hugged him tenderly. The little boy said: "Please dad, we are here. We'll never leave you; promise." Ben was sobbing as he had gone thru the same situation. Patrick hugged the two boys and kissed their heads. They remained in silence contemplating the beauty of Mother Nature. Ben then said: "Dad, what shall we do?" He looked to the pretty boy as he had called him dad as a natural moment. He pulled him to him. "The first thing is to prepare a good lunch for these starved boys." He ruffled their hair. But then John said: "I think Ben asked you in a different way." "I know sons. Well, I think we must discuss this carefully, but there is a point that must be done the soonest as possible: it is to run away from this State; I would say tomorrow. The man that attended me in the shop probably will comment my situation to the police and it would not be strange that they pay a visit to this place; I don't want to give any explanations." "I like your decision. We'll spend the last night in the hut." John said: In that moment came into his memory the sex plays they carried out during the night, he blushed and Patrick guessed the boy's concerns. "Don't worry John, I heard you during your sex session, it is normal between boys of your age, exploring each other is part of the life and it means nothing." He could see the confusion in their eyes, especially in Ben's. He continued: "As far as you do it in family, there will not be any problem. By the way, forced or not you have been exposed to AIDS, therefore the first thing we will do is to check that point." They looked each other smirking. Ben said: "We don't care about that, dad. Just two weeks before we ran away, all boys in the orphanage and the social house were checked; we knew that only a little boy of six was positive, infected by his own mother. "From now on boys, we are a family, we must promise each other to be sincere and honest with the others and never take a decision without talking; sometimes some bad persons want to interfere in the lives of others, causing a lot of pain and sorrow. "I promise always to talk to you and Ben whenever I have a problem." "Me, too." Said the younger boy. "Alright then; tonight we will bath again because I want to clean the hut after lunch and arrange it before our departure." Everything seemed alright but Ben could not forget John's coldness and Patrick did not want to interfere in the boys' life. They did as planned and before going to bed Ben said: "Dad, it is a lovely and warm evening and I want to go for a last walk thru this beautiful place." John looked at his adored friend; he felt uncomfortable and could not explain himself why things were not well. "Alright Ben, I'm sorry I can't go with you because my leg is hurting and I don't want to force it since I'll need it tomorrow. John then said: "May I accompany you, Ben?" "You are always welcome, John." The boys left the hut and walked silently; both knew what was going on but no one wanted to start. In normal circumstances those moments would have been of hugs and kisses as they had done during the past months. They sat on a dead tree near the trail and looking to the West, after a silence John said near shouting: "What's going on Ben? That man has absorbed you! You are not the same boy! What the matter with you?" As Ben did not answer him, he furiously added: "Go with him and fuck him and he fuck you!" He was near in tears in his outburst. John just started to regret what he had said to his ever-best friend, but his stubbornness prevented him to ask the beautiful boy to forgive him. Ben kept silence; he sighed and answered his friend. "Have you finished?" Ben asked in quiet and low voice, John did not answered. Ben was not sobbing or crying but tears of sorrow and bitterness flowed thru his eyes, he never expected such behaviour from his friend. Looking to the approaching sunset he said: "John, I have loved you, I love you and will love you forever with all my heart. You have just deeply hurt me; I am not and never was a whore-boy. I did not have sex with you; we made love because that is what I felt for you, truly love." John's eyes were blurred and he tried to stop Ben talking, but the younger boy raised his hand and interrupted him. "Please, let me finish as I did to you." John bitted his lower lip with impotence as the blond boy continued. "We have physically hurt Patrick by causing him serious wounds; what I did could have killed him, only a centimetre far from his femoral vein; and all because I thought he had killed my best friend, my John." The elder boy's soul never had felt a pain like this caused by the last words of Ben. "However risking his own life he saved yours thanking God and kissing your forehead when he realised you were alive. Isn't that great? He gave us his hand to rescue us by offering even a home and a father. I must remind you that he had us tied and at his mercy, and the only thing that he did was kissing our foreheads with love; yet a word from him could take us back to that horrible house; however he is endangering himself to save us. How have you responded? You did with coldness to him and treating me as a whore. You are unfair John, very unfair! Patrick has not absorbed me because I was ready to support you, even to follow you back to the orphanage if you asked me, because you are the brother that I never had; and a brother should never hurt his own brother." He stood and added: "I understand you but you don't understand me." He started slowly to walk to the hut; he had said the last words in a husky voice near to start crying. John felt how his heart broke and started to cry softly. He then exclaimed: "Please, Benny, please, don't leave me!" That was the first time he could remember he was really crying without any physical punishment. Ben was to spin, but he continued his slow walk back to the hut, leaving John with his remorse. He dried out his tears and entered into the hut; Patrick was cleaning his leg's wound; he looked to the young boy and guessed what had happened; however he did no make any comment. On contrary he asked the boy to help him. "Please son, brig me the hot water pot." Ben did and when he approached to the man, he could see the bluish trace of the femoral vein millimetres from the wound. "I could have killed you, dad." Patrick extended out his hand and took Ben's palm and placed a kiss on it, saying. "But you did not do it, so please, forget it; this kiss clear your hand of any sin because your heart was as clean as gold can be." Ben kissed Patrick's cheek goodnights for the first time and went under the covers. Chapter 3 - Tears of sorrow Patrick wanted to ask about John but he rejected the idea. Some minutes later he finished with his leg and arm. It was near dark and a full moon was shining spreading its pale bright like milk on the trees. He took a piece of wood as a stick and went outside trying to find the elder boy. After a few minutes walking, he heard some noise, like low cries and some intelligible words, he stopped walking, he sat down on the soft floor and waited; half an hour later the sobs died down, could hear nothing; then he called: "John! John!" The boy heard him and jumped to where he was." Please, help me!" The boy immediately helped Patrick; he put the man's arm round his shoulders and assisted him on walking. He was going to ask him but Patrick then said: "Don't you know that there are wolves in this area?" The boy patted the man back and said: "Yes I know, but I am a tiger and I scare them." They kept silence for a few moments then John stopped, he looked into the man's eyes and then bend his head ashamed: "Patrick, if you accept me as your son I will be very happy accepting you as my father and Ben as my brother." A new silence and the boy continued. "However, above all, I have to ask you to forgive me because I have offended you in front of Ben and I am terrible sorry, ashamed and regretful for what I said to him." The teenager paused and Patrick did no brake the silence. "I don't know why I have hurt him so badly, especially after what you have done to us and." He couldn't continue because his young body convulsed and started crying. The man hugged him very tight to his chest while softly rubbed his back. After a few minutes Patrick, without separating the boy from him said: "Thank you John for accepting me. I have nothing to forgive you because for a real father his sons' offence does not count. In what Ben is concerned, the problem must be solved between yourselves. I believe he is a great boy, he loves you and nothing will please him more than you being his future brother." "Thank you for you support.father." Patrick patted the boy back. "I told you there is not need you calling me father or dad except when we are with strangers; the time will decide." The boy hugged the man and a couple of minutes later they entered in the hut; John could not but to look the laying boy, his Benny. "What a fool and stupid I have been." He thought as he went under the covers near Ben noticing his little love was dressed. He kissed his silky hair and in a whisper said: "Goodnight my Benny, have sweet dreams." John couldn't sleep; his head was a hell reeling again and again what has happened during the evening and he blamed himself: "My God! How could I have been so stupid? So unfair? So dishonest to them? Am I fool or mad?" Questions like those he repeated to himself hundreds times during the night. Near dawn he finally got asleep. After what he thought seconds Ben pushed his shoulder. "That evening while Ben was full of sorrow and John fighting his remorse, in NY was taking place the lottery draw with an accumulated prize of near $120 millions. Half of the country was glued to the TV set to know who would be the lucky person/s. The machine started moving and one by one the six hard wooden balls dropped into the basket, the final combination: 1-2-3-46- 48-49. Many mouths shouted "fucking numbers." After some minutes of publicity a lovely girl announced there was only one random three dollars bet with all numbers. In the first page of all news papers in the country was the news: "Who's the owner?" After what he thought seconds Ben pushed his shoulder. "Come on, lazy, it is time to get up." John rubbed his eyes and could see the beautiful angel face near him. He jumped and went to pee and wash his hands and face. A new day has just started that would mark their lives forever. They had cleaned and tided the hut, Patrick brought all necessary from the car and John prepared a huge breakfast that they ate gladly. The sun was rising over the far peaks when they closed the hut's door. Patrick then asked the children. "I can't fully drive, so I need your help. John, did you ever drive?" "I'm sorry; I never had such a opportunity." Ben then near shouted: "Dad, I can do it, my father used to sit me on his lap and I drove our car many times." "Alright, we'll do it here; this is an automatic car; since my right leg can work I'll be in charge of the brakes and accelerator." All three sat in the front seat, Ben between Patrick's legs, a few seconds later the car started moving ahead; they turned on the right and headed forward on the paved and narrow road. The road climbed smoothly to the mountains, then went flat for a few miles; they were very high because the temperature was chilly outside; after some miles of flat grounds, suddenly the winding road started down and after some minutes, they reached a plateau overlooking a small valley. Patrick pushed down on the brake pedal and the car stopped; John then gladly shouted. "That is the most beautiful place I have ever seen! They could see the little valley with a silver stream that beamed from the distance as the sun's light hit it. "Yes, it is a beautiful place. Let's continue." The car slowly moved down road where very tall trees formed near a cave over the road; suddenly the car rode over a flat meadow and entered in a lovely wide and not very deep river of crystal icy water. A wooden bridge crossed it, and as the car was entering on it, an advertisement showed: "Thanks for your visit to our State"; they smiled because as they reached the other side, a new one was written: "Welcome to the State of." They had crossed the border and from now on they were out of reach of the State's police where they had been imprisoned. The boys looked into each other eyes and sighed. Ben drove the car to the wide riverbank where a little beach clearly signalled the water limit reached just the day before; it showed a clean stoned surface. They parked the car under a big tree. "We'll spend the day here; tomorrow we'll continued our trip." Patrick said. "Where shall we go, dad? Ben asked. "I have checked on the road map; from here to the next town, Richmond Peaks, there is a long distance; we must go thru the near highest points of these chain of mountains, therefore we'll need half of the day to reach the town. In two months time, that will be impossible; this area probably will be with a few metres of snow on it. I still have a little bit of money left, not much, but sufficient to feed two starved boys during a few days. My plans are to continue to the capital city; I don't think it will be difficult for me to find a job there; then we'll agree what to do. You should continue going to school as Jack and Ben Melton, my sons, if you agree, of course. Nobody knows us so we can start a new life as a family." Forgetting the previous night events the boys looked at each other and as if the same thing moved them they hugged the man waist. John then said: "I agree. dad. Thanks again." Ben heard John's words and his heart jumped with happiness, he sighed. Patrick pulled the boys to him and hugged them. They retrieved from the car the blankets and two towels, then Ben asked: "Dad, we are alone here, besides it is coming hot. Can we swim in the river and stay naked?" The man smiled, obviously they had been living in the wilderness of the mountains as two red skins and they missed it. "This is a free country and as far as you don't hurt anyone you can do whatever you like; however, we need some wood to make a fire, because now it is warm, but as soon as the sun disappear we'll need it." A few metres further on the riverbank, there was a very large dry log that had not been touched by the recent river increase, probably dragged and dropped there during some big flood. The boys went inside the forest and soon returned with wood enough to spend three nights on the beach. "It is enough, please place it near the large log, so we can do the fire without endanger the forest." The boys started to undress leaving their clothes on the car; soon they were naked, run and jumped into the water, they stayed during a few minutes, but soon they came out of it. "God, it is ice!" Ben exclaimed. They lay down on the sand warmed by the hot sun. They were facing each other, their lips blue and trembling, but comforted by the warm sun; they were so close that their nose could rub. Ben looked at his brother and lover: "I am happy, John. We have found a father and in front of me I have the most beautiful brother I could have" John extended out his arm and rubbed Ben's smooth face; he knew what he was thinking and he wanted to get an end and kiss and hug him. "I love you, Benny; seeing you happy is more than what I expected. I don't think I would have loved more a brother than I love you. It is hard for me to call him dad because I never had a one, but I think I'll love him Ben. I would give my life if I could stop the Earth running and going back to the moment I told you those horrible words." He paused and Ben did not interrupt him. "I couldn't sleep last night reeling and reeling it in my mind and I still don't understand why I did that." Ben touched John's trembling lips as he continued: "Please Ben, could you forgive me? I'll do anything you ask me. Please forgive me!" Ben dragged the lad's face to him and they kissed. John was sobbing." "John, the night has also been terrible for me. As soon as I left you my mind had forgiven you because I love you, I wanted you near me; cuddled into your arms; I missed your giggles, your jokes and your kisses; however my soul rejected that; it was hurt and bleeding with the tremendous and undeserved blows." John kissed his loved boy's palm as Ben caressed his face. "I'll tell you a little tale: ""Once upon time in China, there was a little boy called Chun-Li, he helped his father on making beautiful chinaware for the king. He went into his wizard friend's cave and asked him: "Gun- Chen, can I see my soul?" The old man answered: "No, you can't see your own soul, but I'll show you some of another boy." With a gold key he opened a beautiful box and extracted a delicate vase as he continued: " It contains all the feelings of love of this boy, it is magical and cannot be destroyed." The boy said: "It is a beautiful vase but still has defects, I suppose that with a hammer can be destroyed." The wizard smiled: "The perfection does not exist Chun-Li, only God is perfect, and if you want, you can try to destroy it." The boy rejected the idea because it was a beautiful object, an artwork and he knew a lot about it. The man added: "Only can be broken into pieces by one of the feelings living inside." The boy then asked: "Can it be repaired?" The man answered: "Yes by restoring each piece to his original place, especially if it is done by the feeling that broke it, and when it is finished the vase magically will become a more beautiful one because it contains the repented feeling." The boy then said: "But that might take some time to restore it." The man smiled: "Yes, but if the feeling thinks it is worthwhile, he will gladly do it." The boy smiled, kissed the wizard and left the magic cave."" Ben then looked to his friend and continued: "I can order o try to my mind to change the way it is thinking, but my soul is out of reach, it will take some time to heal and repair the damage it has suffered." John reached Ben's cheeks and tenderly kissed his lips. "I'll repair your soul brick after brick until it shines like a full moon, even if I have to spend my whole life in this task. I love you Benny, I love you." They approached their faces and kissed again. When they separated, Ben said: "You have already put the first brick, I don't think you will need a long time to finish your task." They smiled and their lips joined in a long wet kiss. John then looked down and could see their dicks were hard, he extended his hand and wrapped the little boy cock in his fingers pulling up and down the foreskin a few times. Ben moaned in pleasure as gasps escaped from his throat. "Let's go into the forest." Ben said. They stood and run into the trees. Patrick saw the two hot boys with their erected cocks dangling hands entwined running to the forest. "Sons!" he shouted smiling, "don't go too far." Ben answered: "Oh, don't worry dad. We are wild red-skins." Only within a few metres into the forest, John dragged his new brother to him and the teenager embraced the young blond very tight, their mouth met and tongues swirled inside their mouths. A thick layer of leaves as a soft bed covered the land. They lay on it and soon were engaged in a passionate kiss. They went into a 69 position until their young bodies got rigid, stopped breathing and John started spurting his little load of semen into his new brother's mouth. "John, do you want to fuck my butt? Ben asked. "I am not sure, Ben. We'll do if you like it or just as an experience; but that must be done in a quiet surrounding, it needs some preparation, otherwise I may hurt you and I don't want to hurt you in any way during my life; in any case you must do it to me first." "Why?" "Because I want you to experiment it. I have fucked other boys but in those cases they were gays and liked it. I don't think you are gay." Ben then suddenly jumped on top of his friend and both started wrestling. "Maybe I am not gay but I like a lot to rub our dicks together." He said between gasps. They wrestled during a few minutes on the soft floor until their cocks again were harder than rocks. John pinned Ben down and looked into those eyes that he loved; they kissed and started moving up and down; cocks rubbing against each other mixed with precum that made slippery their crotches. After a few minutes that lovely warm sensation came near at the same time to both; John spurted his white load on Ben's belly and he pressed down his dick with a loud groan. After that, they remained quiet for a few minutes with their flaccid boyhoods stick to their bellies. Ben stood and said: "You will fuck my butt if you can catch me!" Saying that, he run to the river followed by the elder boy. Ben jumped into the cold water followed by John that could not catch him during their run. They spent the day playing in the woods and having a great time in the river; Patrick looked at them happily as his memories went to his late sons; he sighed; however he was happy because the future brothers had found their reconciliation; he would never know the words the had caused tears in the children. They ate the reminder of the food he had bought, except four chocolate tablets and a package of bread slices. They prepared the fire and lighted it. Patrick thought that it would be advisable to sleep dressed since they only had the blankets and the fire. In that moment John said looking into his adored boy blue eyes, but for Patrick to hear: "Last night I committed an unforgivable sin offending both of you. Please, once more I ask for your forgiveness." Ben and Patrick did not expect such a public declaration of guiltiness and they felt shaken. Ben hugged and kissed his friend and Patrick pushed the boy to his chest. Then he said: "If you don't mind, let's forget the incident." "Yes, let's forget it. Ben added, and both children again hugged; John sat between them and said: "Thank you brother, thank you father. To complete the day I'll tell my part of our story." Ben had forgotten it and was taken aback, however he did not argue. John started: "I don't have any memories out of the orphanage; I always fought to be the first and to survive in that jungle. When I was ten I went for the first time to the great boss' house; they initiated me on sex and I honestly must say that I enjoyed it. As Ben said, that prevented that elder boys abused me." He paused to order his memories while Ben took his had in his encouraging to continue as he did. "Yes, that was the first time we met. When I saw Benny, my angel, I could only think to love him, to be near him, to protect him. I had never experienced such tenderness toward anyone; I had never been rude to younger or even my age pals, but when I wanted to have sex I never asked if they liked it or not, this was the first time that I did. I had been raised in that hard atmosphere like animals in the wild jungle where they had to fight for the daily survival. I ignored why he impacted so great on me; it was absolutely new to me that feeling. We spent the night cuddled into each other arms until we heard the bell ringing the following morning. From that date on, we were inseparable buddies, except during classes. We were the happiest boys in the orphanage and whenever we could, and that was very often, we slid into that secret place and we enjoyed our love, we kissed and sucked each other during hours, especially during the weekends." Ben laughed loudly. "We were insatiable." "Yes, that's true. One day one of the guards called me apart, and told me that the Great-boss wanted Ben in his bed to fuck him during next weekend. I told him that neither he nor the Great- boss would touch my angel; I would never consent on that. He argued that the man was very powerful and that he could do whatever he liked, he added: "John you have always been reasonable, what would you do? Going to the police? You well know he is above the police or the judicial authorities in this State; no one will move a single finger to help you." I recognized he was right. That guard was a good man and never treated boys with bad manners, except when he was forced to. I knew could not fight against GB as we called him in the orphanage that some boys translated for "the great Bastard; so I suggested him: "Tell GB that I would go in his place and I would do whatever he likes, but he has to promise me that he will never touch Ben." I knew the strong compromise that I was assuming, but I could not bear in my mind the picture of my angel being raped by that old man. I had been there before a few times, but he and his colleagues sucked us and we sucked or jerked them off, that's all. No, definitely no! I was thinking this when I heard the guard saying: "Alright, I'll tell him, you are a pretty boy too, perhaps he accepts your offer, I would do myself without any doubt, but I like women not boys; on the other hand you know he's generous." Some days later, the guard called me for a walk, when we were in the little forest where no one could hear us, he said: "John, he has accepted your proposal, however, besides handsome you are a good boy and I want to help you. This man is very clever so you must be cleverer than he is. I would bet my soul that he wanted you right from the beginning rather than your little friend, but he has used a trick to get you; he knows everything about this place. I know him and am absolutely sure that if you rejected his offer he would have taken your little blonde." He paused, I felt furious but I could do nothing; he resumed: "When he is alone with a boy, like this time, he performs his nights with some ritual; a first part to give you pleasure, and the second and third for himself. Never give him more than he asks; never answer his questions; if you don't like, it is not part of the deal; you must stand without complaining. In the second part, he will spank and fuck you. He enjoys your pains so you must exaggerate them without him knowing it. He will use Vaseline for himself, but not for you; so before he starts the second session you must go to the bathroom with some excuse; let's say to clean yourself; he adores cleanness. Behind the mirror I'll place this little tube; it contains something similar to Vaseline but has an added property to diminish your pains; use it in your butt" He kept silence for a moment, then he continued: "You may ask yourself why I do this, well. I hate him and what he does; but a word from him could send me to the hot chair; besides not liking it I don't deserve it because I am innocent; but that's an old and long story. Moreover, he has hundreds millions of dollars to bribe people and to pay us. Please, get ready next Friday after dinner, but remember: you must be more intelligent than he is." I gave an excuse to Ben and I was taken blinded to the GB's house." As John was speaking Ben felt how his eyes blurred thinking on those days. John bent his head and continued: "When I recovered my sight saw I was in a room similar to a dungeon but luxury furnished. A strong man ordered me to get naked showing where the bathroom was. A few minutes later, GB appeared with a black leather mask covering his face, leaving free the yes, mouth and nose. I had seen him before, so I was not surprised. He pulled me down on the bed with him and we made a 69; I felt revulsion to take his cock into my mouth, but a deal was a deal; he was a professional and soon gasps and moans came from my throat as my body responded what my brains rejected. He stopped a few times when I was near my orgasm to prolong my pleasure. We resumed our mutual sucking until I reached my climax within a few minutes. I did not know if I gad to continue sucking him, but the disgust made me to take my mouth out of his cock when he was near his orgasm. He then asked me why I had done that, I told him that the night had just started and he needed to reserve for better, later on. He applauded me and said: "You are very clever. I'll come back in a minute." When he disappeared I entered in the bathroom, washed my mouth and put the cream into my butt as deeper as possible, it felt very cold inside me." John kept silence for a moment and Patrick asked: "Was someone else in the room?" "No. But the strong man was outside the door, just in case I tried to leave. Some minutes elapsed and the man returned; he sat on a chair and ordered me to lie on his lap so my butt was up; he professionally massaged and caressed my butt cheeks and I must say my penis started getting hard when suddenly he started spanking me; his hand descended against my bare flesh; first not very hard but after a few slaps he hit me harder and harder; I yelped in pain exaggerating it, screaming and pleading to stop; I felt his hard cock pushing against my belly, mine was soft. When my butt was red and hot he took me to the bed, put a pillow under my crotch and without any more preparation he entered the total of his cock into me in a single thrust. I screamed as if he had destroyed me inside, that excited him and furiously he started fucking me until he reached his climax. Fortunately the cream had worked and pain was not so hard, but he did not know it. When he recovered he got out of me saying: "You are a good boy John, you have done super up to now; your little boy must be proud of you." I did not answer; he left, and his words brought me the beautiful face of my angel. I entered in the bathroom and had a shower; I felt pain in my pucker as I touched it, it was sore. I put the rest of the cream in order to prevent future pain; then I went to the bed to wait for the man. He did not come immediately, instead the strong guard entered; he put me something like iron handcuffs in my ankles and wrists, then he fixed my feet to the floor and my hands to a pulley on the ceiling. The great man appeared naked as usual, his cock was hard again and he ordered the man to start; he knew his job. He got a long whip and in seconds I felt the terrible pain on my back as the whip hit my body; I screamed in pain as if I were being killed; again another stroke, another.I then thought in the pretty face of my angel, it comforted me because I knew he would not suffer those terrible moments; I wondered how many lashes I received. After some time, I saw how the excited man groaned on the thick-carpeted floor as he spurted wads of semen on himself. The session had finished. Two men took him away, another one came to untie me. I was near unconscious as I heard saying: "You have been a very brave boy; better than anyone before." He held me in his arms and took me to a bed in an adjacent room. Another person dressed in a white robe entered, and after cleaning my wounds, he applied something and the pain disappeared. They gave me a glass of sweet lemonade that I drank because I felt thirsty; probably it was a narcotic because I woke up on Sunday morning. I had discomfort but not pain; I saw a large breakfast waiting for me in a small table. I still was naked; I put on a white robe that had been placed on the bed and I devoured everything. GB entered covered with his mask, this time I fixed on his mouth and I appreciated a little scar on his upper lip. He then said: "You have been very good John, one of the best I ever had, so I want to reward you. These two parcels contain two sets of very expensive clothes for youngsters, one for you and another for your lover." He opened mine, extracted the jeans and with a small knife he unfastened one leg folder, then he said: "This is for you." He took five hundred dollars notes and put them into the folder; so it was very difficult to find them. "I have ordered that as soon as you are recovered, you and your friend will immediately be transferred to the Social House; if you need something from me, in the pocket I have put you a sheet with the instructions to follow." I felt obliged to say "Thank you sir, if you need me." But he interrupted me saying: "I am a perverted man, but not a cruel one, I never repeat this action on the same boy." He left. "That evening round midnight the strong man came and wrapped me in the white robe and we walked to a hidden garage, he blinded me again and an hour later the car stopped in front of the service gate of the orphanage; after removing the bandage from my eyes we walked into the infirmary, a man dressed as a MD asked: "Is this the boy?" "Yes" He answered. They pulled me on the bed; he examined the wounds and applied something that I could not see. I had had already dinner, but at that time I was hungry again, so he asked me whether I wanted to eat something and I answered yes; he brought me a large tray full of fruit, sandwiches and a bottle of milk. I ate until I was full and drifted to sleep. I started thinking what I would say to Ben, if I could see him, he probably was upset; some minutes later I was rock asleep. I heard a nurse entering in the room; with my eyes still near closed but could see the daylight, she raised the sheet and commented near in a murmur: "Poor little boy; if there is a God, that bastard should burn in the hell." I grinned. Some time later she brought me a huge breakfast and after I finished that entered the guard that helped me: "How was it, John? You don't need to tell me." Thanks for your help and the cream, it helped some, I answered." He ruffled my hair: "Alright boy; I must warn you, that for everybody, you are here with some infection and can't see anyone until you are cured." I felt my heart broken because I wanted to see Ben; he guessed my thoughts and added: "however you won't transmit the infection to a friend." He opened the door and Ben entered, he had been already instructed." In that moment Ben pressed John's hand. "Yes, but no one had told me about your wounds, only that I should not tell anyone that I had seen you." "He came to my bed and immediately tried to hug me, I groaned in pain when he pushed his hand on my back. He raised the sheet and with tears in his eyes he said: "Who has dared to do this to you? Why? Where? I extended out my hand and rubbed his cheeks wiping his tears. He took my palm and kissed it and placed it on his chest over his heart. Near in a whisper I said: "I can't tell you right now, please, don't ask me." He approached his face to me and kissed me on the lips mixing the salty flavour of his tears. "I'll answer your question in due course." He looked at me and in the same whisper he said; "I love you John, I missed you." "I love you, too Benny." After a while we changed the subject and started joking; he slipped his hand under the cover and found my dick that was erected since he appeared in the room; I had no underwear because it rubbed my wounds. Grinning he wrapped his hand round it and started moving in/out, I gasped and I told him to stop because I knew what would happen, but the rascal continued and I tried to muffled my moans; with wicked smile he looked at me and saw how I gritted my teeth, closed my eyes and stopped breathing as the most wonderful feeling swept thru my body; with a gasp I fell on the pillow breathing heavily. I had experienced the most extraordinary orgasm up to that date. He extracted his hand from under the cover and I could see how he licked his palm with his tongue; he looked at the door and then approached his face to me; he kissed me introducing his tongue into my mouth. I felt the well-known flavour on my semen; he retrieved saying: "Congratulations, you little man." I could not resist the temptation; in a quick move I dragged him to me and kissed his lips and round all his beautiful face." A cough called our attention and the guard entered: "I'm sorry boys, but Ben must leave now." We looked devastated at him: "Alright you can stay for five minutes more, I'm finishing my guard and I don't want problems." He thought for a moment, then he added: "Ben, tonight when lights are down, slip as if you were going to pee; come here, I'll let you in, then you can sleep together; but you must promise me to be in your bed before the bell rings, so no one can suspect." We sighed and he went out; Ben then kissed me a quick peck on the lips and left. Chapter 4 - The run away "Ben came at the agreed time; in spite of my pains, we kissed, loved and did whatever two boys in love could do in a single bed and in that situation. When we were exhausted we drifted to sleep, he cuddled into my arms. The guard woke us up at dawn before the bell rang and Benny left after kissing me. We followed the same procedure until the following Friday; I felt quite well, my wounds had near healed and I was anxious to return to my duties, however, before I left, the guard took me apart: "John I must warn you; within a few days, probably next week, both of you will be transferred to the Social House, he had discovered part of your tricks and probably, even admiring you, he will seek revenge and Ben will be his target; he has a very pretty face, so I recommend you to be alert. He has all means available even the kidnapping and making him to disappear if necessary." I trembled as in my mind pictured my beautiful friend been raped, left at a hospital's door with his guts torn, bleeding and near dead. "Thanks, we'll try to be careful." He then added: "The police have hundreds of outstanding unresolved cases of this sort." I had presumed that but I thought it would take some time; so happily we joined the rest of our mates; the closet gathered near me and hugged carefully because Benny had informed them. We took over again the job on the laundry store where we had a bed for us. After diner and finishing duties, we locked the door and in seconds we were naked under the covers kissing desperately as if there was no tomorrow. After three or four wonderful climaxes we were exhausted but our dicks still requesting actions; Benny cuddled between my arms and started playing with my curled hair." Ben looked at him and to Patrick and grinned: "I love that during a relaxing time and you should not lie because you well like it." John chuckled. "I didn't say anything otherwise." He gave a peck to him as he continued: "I feared Benny questions because I didn't want he felt we were in danger; but also I knew that behind that pretty face there was a high intelligence and determination, so I could not hide anything to him; he would find out. So softly he said: "John, as far as I know, you haven't done anything wrong, please, who and why did those terrible things to you?" I doubted for a moment, and then I said: "Do you really want to know it? There is no point now that it is over." Ben sighed. "No matter if that hurts me or not, I would have wanted to share your pain, so please don't hide anything." I couldn't do anything but kiss him. "GB did it. He forced me to have pleasure by sucking my cock; he spanked me until my bum was hot and then with a single thrust he raped me; I felt as if he had introduced an iron bar in my guts in spite I had put some cream in it, secretly provided by our guard's friend, otherwise probably I would have bled abundantly; then he and his assistant trapped me like a prisoner in a dungeon, and whipped me until I was near unconscious, that was the peak moment when he climaxed. Ben then said: "You are strong, but how could you resist that? Why didn't you shout out asking for helps?" I chuckled, you near got upset; do you remember Benny?" "Yes, I did not expect your terrible answers." "I'll continue." Patrick hugged the boy encouraging him to take off from his mind those terrible moments; that would surely make him to forget them in his future life. "There was no point to ask for help; I knew that was an isolate place with thick and soundproof walls. I resisted because I try to see your face in my mind, you comforted me, you healed my pain; I thought it was worthwhile the punishment if I saved you from receiving part of it." I stopped and saw the wide blue eyes looking into mine, tear dropping on the pillow; with a sob he then said: "Do you mean that you received that hard punishment to save me from it? That I was the target?" Yes, at least that was what I thought. I could have said no, but he knew that I loved you and that I had to accept a "full treatment" as he called it, otherwise they will take you and I couldn't bear that; so I accepted. You can't doubt that he would have carried out his threat." He cuddled even tighter to me and he sobbed. I kissed him round his face, his shoulders everywhere until he calmed down. After half an hour of quietness he raised his beautiful eyes and we kissed tenderly, very tenderly, then our tongues mixed and we soon forgot our sorrows and started again making love, he sucked me and I sucked him and when I released my little load into his mouth he recovered his original position and we kissed again sharing the flavour of my semen. Then I said: "Partially I deceived GB, not in the thrashing part, though, I exaggerated the screams and that lead him to have his climax before he expected. He said I had been very good and wanted to reward me; please bring me my jeans." Benny got out of the bed to take my jeans, I could appreciate his glistening erected penis still wet from my saliva and that beautiful bum of him; all was perfect and I loved those moments watching his body. When I got my trousers I unfolded that part and extracted the five hundred dollars. He wide opened his beautiful eyes. "John, that's a lot of money! What are we going to do?" I smiled and I hugged him very tight: "To run away as soon as we are in the social house. That was also a present from him and he always comply his words, the guardian told me yesterday that probably next week we will be transferred." He looked at me and we kissed again. "But still there is bad news Benny, not urgent but bad ones." He looked at me puzzled." Our friend has told me that the GB had not discarded the idea of fucking your butt, so that we must be alert, be always together, especially during the weekends." His beautiful face got sad and looking at me saying: "All of our sufferings and problems because we have pretty faces, I hate my face; I would like to change it." I looked at him and I said: "You should not regret about what you were gifted, thanks to your pretty face I started to love you and discover the greatest soul I ever met; the pretty face within some years will fade out but not your soul that will last for ever." At that point Ben looked at John and to Patrick and said: "Those words went very deep inside me, and I have wondered if they came from your mind or you had learnt from some book." John grinned. "I have not read many books of poetry, perhaps I'll do in the future. Let me finish. Ben then asked me what we would do. "To run away, we must get out of this State and then go to the police and show my scars; at least an investigation could be open and find out all what is going on here." Ben looked at me with doubt. "You are silly; they will never let's run away." "Remember what the guardian told us, we must be cleverer than they are." We spent that night and a few others planning it until we received the order; they transferred us to the social house. We worked harder than ever, our qualifications were brilliant, Ben started translating some text from German to English and I helped in the computer room, but we were alert; we had prepared our backpack hidden with our best clothes just in case we find out something suspicious, but seemed that the GB had forgotten us; but one of our friends overheard the word "cute" to a guard signalling to us. From that day we took some measures, we slept in different places; and especially during the weekends we exchanged beds with our closet friends alerting them too. Summer was near and a programmed visit to the Anthropological Museum, I told Ben that would be the day "d"; we discussed for hours the plan until we both agreed. That day we wore double clothes and took with us our anoraks; fortunately that day announced rain so that fact did not rose any suspicious. In the museum when they were more concentrated on some explanations we sneaked out; one of the group's teacher asked us where we were going, I told him we needed to pee. He said to hurry up, but instead we went directly to the main entrance walking normally; our hearts were racing at maximum speed. I asked to a policeman that was guarding the entrance, where the Memorial was and he kindly informed us. As soon as we were in the street we run a fast as we could on the opposite direction and to the rail station; once in there we were exhausted, we bought two bottles of water and some hot dogs and ran to the commercial side. Far we saw a merchandise train that was started to move; we did not doubt, we hided between some big crates near the track and when the train was moving we jumped into the only wagon that was not flat, the last one. We closed the sliding gate and hided between some cotton bales. The wagon was near full of tools and cotton bales. "I hope this goes to the South, I would like to reach the sunny California." The train gained speed and the night came, fortunately Ben had a flashlight and we could arrange a bed to sleep within the bales; we cuddle into each other arms, we kissed and tired we drifted to sleep. The dawn appeared and to our disappointment we could see the sun was rising on our right. Round mid morning the trains stopped in a small station and we decided to leave it. We walked and could see the great mountains covered with wild forests. In the village we bought some food and we decided to walk into the forest, there, we thought, would more difficult to find us. We walked all day until we found a beautiful little valley and we decided to stay there. Not far we saw a hut in a clear of the forest and Ben said: "We can stay here, it is warm and we can make a fire." What about if we live as in the jungle? "You mean naked? "Yes, as Tarzan and his son of the old pictures." "Lovely" Benny agreed. We got naked and bathed in the stream." "What beautiful days were those first weeks!" Ben said. Patrick looked at him. "Were they? He then continued speaking instead of John. "Yes. We felt free and far away from that horrible place out of GB's reach; we played, as we had never done before; we did to pirates, to gunmen, always naked since it was summer. We did not think on anything; during the night we would cuddled into each other arms and most of the nights we made love until we were exhausted without caring if anyone could hear our moans. When we needed food we walked to the little town and bought what we wanted; but one day our happiness ended as we could see the money had gone and we were hungry. We explored the surroundings and made little robberies of food from the scattered cottages that we found while their owners were away." In this moment John took the thread: "Yes I felt responsible and I was furious because we were trapped. We knew the border with the other State was not very far, we could cross it and we would have been free, but the problem was that there was a very long distance between the border and the next town, besides we had to cross thru very high mountains. That should have been done the first days when we had money and food." Ben interrupted him. "You should not blame yourself because it was me who decided to stay there." "Any way, I'll continue: We were hungry, we found some wild fruits and ate them without caring about. We went to the hut and took a pot and made some broth with the fruits and some herbs. In that moment I regretted a lot not to have paid attention two our teachers when they suggested us to join the scouts. We ate that and I don't know what happened, probably the herbs or the fruits, we don't know. We lost conscience, at least during more than twenty-four hours; we crapped on the floor and what was the worst, we raped each other as animal. I did not notice anything except a little sore in my pucker, but Benny's butt was sore and with signals of my semen. We hugged and kissed and I asked him to forgive me; he grinned and said: "Probably we liked it, don't we?" As usual this little rat made me happy. We saw that the weather was changing and we discussed what action to take; it could be any, except coming back to the orphanage. We agreed to have a good bath the following morning in the stream and to go to the town and ask at the salvation army something to eat; then catch a train to the North, so we could leave the State, In that moment we heard you parking the car and how you descended and stumbled as if you were drank. The rest is well known by you." John bent his head and a silent followed. Patrick pulled both boys to him and kissed their hair. He then said: "I think it is enough. I promise you will never be hungry again and will have a roof over your heads." They prepared to sleep, Patrick knew the boys needed to talk after what they had gone thru the previous night, and so he suggested: "Better you sleep together, if you like; I am tired and I want to sleep." Ben looked at John and he moved his head negatively, but Ben said: "Alright dad; we still don't want to sleep, we are not very tired." Ben took one of the blankets and extended it near the fire a couple of metres from Patrick's back. The young boy took some more pieces of wood and tossed them to the flames. The fire even revived, it was hot near them, so he took his clothes off immediately followed by John; and then they lay on the blanket, their noses near touching. John whispered smiling. "You are a liar little imp. We are tired and I wanted to be near him." Ben smiled as he extended his hand and took John's cock in his hand. "Who is the liar?" They grinned and their lips joined in a long and wanted wet kiss. They broke the kiss, Ben caressed John's cheeks, then kissed him a peck and scooted down starting sucking his nipples, his navel and finally his balls. John squirmed in delight. "Benny. I. I want to do it to you, too." The beautiful face raised a little and grinned. "You will do it to me later. Now I want to enjoy with you." Saying that he took his new brother cock into his mouth; he near gagged but he did not mind, he wanted all of him into himself. How could he hate his brother? That was impossible, he loved John with all his being, he would want to melt with him in a single body, a single soul. He had always tried never to swallow any semen when had sucked other boy or man, he hated that; instinctively he had developed a good technique to take out from his mouth a cock when he felt he was going to spurt; however, he was eagerly expecting the first signal from his loved John to increase his sucking and to enjoy his lovely cream, to share with him in the after kiss. That was so great! So wonderful! Thinking on this, he noticed how John increased his breath and arched his hips; he moaned in pleasure, he abandoned his body and fell on the blanket as his hard cock started spurting his semen into his little brother warm cavity. When Ben felt his brother cock was getting flaccid, he scooted back and they kissed tenderly, sharing the most precious reward. John looked to his beautiful brother and hugged him very tight. "I love you Benny, I don't think I would love anyone like I love you. Now it is my turn. Ben lay on his back as John started licking his earlobes, then his armpits. He knew how much his Benny loved those tender caresses. He left his armpits because Ben started giggling and gasping erratically and he did not want to wake Patrick up. He sucked those little near pink nipples, Ben squirmed in pleasure, but John best part was to take his whole package into his mouth; it was difficult for him because Ben's cock had grown a lot lately and soon he would not be able to do it, but this time he made a great effort and got his goal. As Ben, he would want to eat his brother-friend without producing him the minimum pain, until they were a single being. He thought on the previous night events, how could have hurt that extraordinary creature? Ben's moans brought him to reality as he felt his hands on his head. The little boy produced a muffled scream as he reached that lovely sensation as a spasm went thru his young body. Ben was breathing heavily as he recovered from his dry orgasm. John tenderly kissed his beautiful brother and lay near him. Ben cuddle into his arms, his head on John's shoulder. Both knew that those moments were the best part of their lovemaking. The confidences and the tenderness that followed their sexual releases were what they most loved. They couldn't reach that without previously releasing their sexual tensions. They were in silence, John caressing Ben's smooth cheeks and Ben playing with his curly hair; their legs were crossed so their flaccid dicks were forming a whole wet pack. After a few minutes of quietness Ben said: "John, I would like to be like that for the rest of my life, to melt with you so that you were inside of me and I inside of you, and to die, if necessary." The young boy sighed as John pushed him even tight and kissed him several times on his silky hair. "I love you John." Without moving John took the boy's hand that was caressing his hair, kissed his palm and pushed it against his own cheeks. Ben noticed the warm wetness of John's tears. He moved slowly and kissed John's lips gently. "Please, John, it is enough. Dad told us it is enough." John moved a little and kissed Ben tenderly looking into his eyes illuminated by the fire flames and the white moon. John in a low voice, as a pray said "My heart is bleeding Benny only thinking what could have happened if your soul were not so great and generous. I could have lost you! "But nothing of that happened, John." They paused in silence and Ben added: "When I returned to the hut I saw dad taking care of his leg's wound, it is only millimetres from his femoral vein; I told him very much the same words and he said the same answer; he took my hand and kissed it, he added: "the sin is gone, please forget it." Ben then rose a little and kissed John's chest where his heart is, repeating the same sentence. John sighed and kissed Ben again. After a few minutes, Ben stood and dropped more wood into the flames; he returned and cuddled again within John's arms that said: "Still I am asking myself why I behave like that. You told me that you understood me but that I did not understand you. Why then didn't you stop me, even striking me?" "First because I hate violence, second because you have the right to say what you wanted, and third because I loved you. Yes, I understood you; that was an explosion of jealousies and that meant love. A desperate scream requesting my love for you, because you thought I loved Patrick more than I did to you; that I might leave you alone. Your temper blinded you because you should have known what I have repeated you many times: I love you with all my heart." John deeply sighed. "Yes, you are absolutely right. your tenderness to him, how he looked at you. Yes, Benny, I now understand and I feel even more miserable and terrible ashamed. I only saw what he did to you but I did not have the courage to see and recognize what he had done to me, besides mad I have been selfish and terrible unfair to a good man and to you." John's eyes were wet again and Ben noticed how the flames were reflecting, like candles, on his large black "wells", as he liked to call his large eyes. He looked to him and kissed them tenderly. "John, I think my vase is fully repaired, and now it is shining with double strength like the sun. I love you." John hugged Ben tenderly, they kissed as the young boy added: "We better join dad, I don't want anyone to take him away from us, he is too valuable." John smiled. They took the blanket; John lay on the back of the man and Ben on the other side, being careful with his wounded left leg. Slowly he raised Patrick's arm and placed over him. John extended the blanket as an extra cover and they drifted to sleep. It has been worthwhile losing some sleep, Ben thought. In spite of the boy's care, Patrick woke up and saw his lovely future sons cuddled and tacked with him. He turned a little on his back and placed a kiss of good nights on each boy head; the fire had increased its heat as the big log got on flames. John then said: "Sorry dad, we have woken you up, but it is great to be like that here; I would like to remain like this for the whole life." "We may repeat it in the future, if we can. Isn't it dad?" Ben asked. "If our plans go ahead, I promise you next summer holidays will be here or in similar place. But it is too soon, maybe you like different." "Different? While dad? Ben asked. "I don't know. I did not tell you that I used to have a boat, a twelve metres length, perhaps you better like the sea." "Did you?" John enthusiastically asked. I have never put my foot on a boat, probably I would get sick. Besides you have said you used to have it." "I don't know; probably she is still mine if the port authorities has not auctioned her like the rest of my possessions were." They kept silence because Ben knew the conversation went again to his past life and he wanted his new father not to be hurt; so he said: "Let's sleep, dad. I'm tired." The silence and the peaceful moment soon got Ben hard asleep, but John had his beautiful eyes open and looking into the stars; he knew Patrick was looking at him, waiting he drifted to sleep; suddenly he said: "Patrick, sorry I can call you dad very often as Ben does, but, but, I never called anyone like that." "I have told you don't need to do so if you don't want it, John; only when we are with strangers, and you know why." They kept silence again. The man knew that the boy was fighting in his heart; something was telling him to accept the man without any reservations but he had had many experiences with adults to cease his concerns. "Patrick, I want you to forgive me for the injures that I did to you." Patrick turned a little to his right side taking care not to wake up Ben; his face was now near the boy's forehead. Then Patrick tenderly said: "I have told you that there is nothing to forgive; you have done nothing to me. Please John, forget that." A new silence; this time even longer; Patrick even thought that the boy had drifted to sleep. But he opened his large eyes again, and looking into the stars he said: "Patrick, I want you to be my real father." The man knew the great efforts that the boy was doing fighting against his prejudices. "I am your real father, Jack. You were stolen from your cot when you were a baby and now I have found you." Both knew that was fiction but many great loves started with a fiction. The man pulled the boy to his chest and kissed him tenderly on the forehead. "I love you, my little Jack." He heard a deep sigh; the boy moved his head and kissed the man on the cheek. "I love you, dad. Good nights." The boy turned on his belly, placed his right arm on the man's waist and drifted to sleep; he did not want his father could see tears running on his cheeks. Patrick caressed his black curly hair tenderly and kissed it. "Good night, my son; have pleasant dreams." He covered them with the blanket and he too drifted to sleep. TO BE CONTINUED
