Chapter
2
- A Big Decision.
When Brad pulled into the driveway at the house, the hairs on my arms stood on end and my flesh erupted in goose bumps. I wasn't sure if this happened because I was excited about the idea of seeing Reid or if I was scared by the prospect. Possibly, I was just nervous it wouldn't work out or that I was going to have to face Pam, knowing she understood the reason Brad had invited me to visit.
As soon as we went inside, Pam greeted me with a hug and a kiss on the cheek. It made me relax slightly, since she obviously didn't seem to be bothered by the reason I was there. Then, the three kids came out to say hello too. Each one had called me Uncle Quinn since they've been able to talk, and I'd always felt close to them as well.
Besides thirteen-year-old Reid, there was his ten-year-old sister, Ashley, and seven-year-old, Evan. Seeing their parents had brown hair and brown eyes, the older pair did as well, while Evan currently had blond hair that was just beginning to darken, to go along with his brown eyes.
"We've been waiting so we could all eat together and dinner will be on the table shortly," Pam stated, once I'd finished greeting the kids. "Brad, why don't you make Quinn a drink to help him unwind after the long flight?"
I thought that was an excellent idea, especially since I was so nervous about the reason I was there. "Scotch and soda, if you have it," I stated, and he merely nodded and went to fix it.
We had a lovely meal and chatted while we ate. I'm not sure if Reid was actually staring at me throughout dinner or if it was merely my imagination, but the thought that he was watching caused me to bone up a few times. Luckily, the table prevented anyone else from noticing my predicament and I hoped it didn't occur later as well, when the others might be able to recognize what was going on.
After we'd finished eating, Pam asked the two younger kids to help her clear off the table and load the dishwasher, before she took them upstairs to get ready for bed. At the same time, Brad asked Reid to join us and told him there was something the three of us needed to discuss. I think the younger kids merely concluded it was about me using Reid's bedroom while I was there, although I wasn't convinced Reid understood the reason he was needed. I'd be willing to bet, however, that he was going to be just as shocked as I had been when he heard his father's proposal.
Brad led us up to Reid's room where we could talk in private. As soon as we went inside, Brad suggested that Reid and I sit on the bed and get comfortable. Once we'd done that, Reid and I looked up at Brad and he began to speak.
"Reid, you might have figured out why we're here, but please let me explain everything anyway. The last time you and I talked, you confided in me that you were gay, but you preferred older guys. This made me worry that you might go out looking to hookup with an older man and end up meeting someone that was only concerned about his own needs and had no regard for you. I was afraid you might end up getting hurt, so I wanted to do everything I could to prevent that."
As I glanced over at Reid, he was turning multiple shades of red from embarrassment, and he'd occasionally peek over at me to see how I was reacting. I think he was mortified that his dad had decided to mention all of this in my presence and disclosed his most private and intimate secrets. Brad, however, didn't seem to notice how uncomfortable he was making his son and merely continued his comments.
"That's why I invited your Uncle Quinn here, because I thought maybe he could help out. I'm not sure if you know this or not, because it's not something I've found necessary to discuss before, but your Uncle Quinn is gay too."
Suddenly, Reid's eyes shot open, as wide as saucers, and his mouth dropped toward the floor as he stared at me in disbelief. He obviously hadn't been aware of this fact prior to his father's pronouncement, so he was now looking at me in an entirely new light.
"Reid, would you be interested in doing those types of things with your Uncle Quinn?" Brad continued, while Reid's mind was busy trying to assimilate all of this new information. Since Reid didn't respond right away, Brad asked him again. "Reid, do you think you might be interested in doing those types of things with your Uncle Quinn, or is this something you'd rather not consider?"
After another brief hesitation, Reid finally answered. "No, I like the idea a lot. I told you before that I think Uncle Quinn is hot, and you've told me he's not really my uncle, because he's not really related to either you or Mom, so yeah. I think that would be really great. How about you, Uncle Quinn? Would you want to do that stuff with me too?"
Even if I wasn't ready to admit it out loud, I was pleased that Reid had responded in such a positive manner. If I were to answer his question honestly, I was definitely beginning to warm up to the idea as well.
"Let me begin by saying that your father only sprung this on me shortly after I arrived here earlier," I stated as I made eye contact with Reid. "At the time, I suggested it would probably be best to see what you thought about the idea first, before I gave it any serious thought. Since you seem to be ok with the proposal, I think we'll need to spend some time together so we can discuss a few other things before we make up our minds. Is that alright with you?"
"Yeah, sure, and I'm not a little boy any longer either, if you were worried about that."
"I didn't think you were and wasn't worried about that," I fibbed so I didn't hurt his feelings.
"Well I'm not, and I can even prove it to you if you want."
I think I'd already come to that conclusion, because when I first arrived I noticed that Reid had grown two or three inches (5 - 7.6 cm) since my last visit, which had only been a few months earlier. He was currently about 5 feet 4 inches (1.63 m) tall and I would guess he weighed somewhere around 90 pounds (41 kg), so I assumed he'd probably entered puberty and was going through a growth spurt. That fact didn't make up my mind completely, but it was a good indicator and might play a factor in my decision later.
"No, that won't be necessary, but there are other things I think we should talk about too. I'd like to find out if we have similar interests and might enjoy spending time with each other as well, aside from the obvious reason. If you don't mind, I would like to spend some time with you alone so we can get to know each other better. Would that be acceptable to you?"
"Yeah, that would be great!" he squealed with joy. "I think you are really good looking, so I'm hoping you'll do all types of stuff with me. Ummm, will you move here too, because we wouldn't be able to do very much if it was only when you come to visit?"
"Yes, your dad has already made that suggestion to me as well, but let's see how the next couple of days go first, before I make up my mind. Is that ok with you?"
"Yeah, and this is sooo cool," he gushed as he threw his arms around my chest and gave me a squeeze before turning toward his father. "Thanks, Dad. I'm really glad you're willing to let Uncle Quinn do this for me."
"Nothing's settled yet," his father warned him, "but your mother and I are fine with the idea if this is what you want, and your Uncle Quinn agrees to it as well."
"Mom knows about this too?" Reid gasped as the color drained from his face. I think he was ok with his father and me knowing about him, but he was horrified that his mother knew he was gay and might be doing stuff with me too.
"Yes, because I wouldn't have been able to ask Quinn if he'd be interested in helping you out if she hadn't agreed. Due to your age, Uncle Quinn could get into a great deal of trouble if he did this and someone discovered what was going on. For that reason, your mother and I had to agree it would be alright first, to protect him. If he decides to do this, it means we'll all have to be very careful that no one else finds out what you two are up to, which means you won't be able to say or do anything that might make Ashley or Evan suspicious. You'll have to be very careful and listen to our warnings if we think you're doing something that might cause problems."
"Yeah, sure, and I won't say nothin' to nobody about this. I'm just happy that I might be able to do stuff with someone as hot as Uncle Quinn." After saying this, Reid looked up at me and smiled.
"You're no slouch in the looks department yourself," I assured him, since I thought he was cute as well. Reid merely gave me an 'aw shucks' grin in response.
"Why don't I leave you two alone so you can talk privately and get to know each other better," Brad said as he got up to leave. "Quinn, I put your suitcase and carry-on in here earlier, since you'll be using this room while you're here. Reid, I want you to take whatever you'll need over to your brother's room when you've finished talking and then get ready for bed."
"Ok, Dad. Will do."
Once Brad left the room, I looked over at Reid and decided to find out a little more about him. "So why don't you tell me what kind of things you're interested in," I began, giving him an open-ended suggestion.
"Umm, do you mean movies, games, and stuff like that?" He was obviously unsure about what I was getting at.
"Yes, all that and more. I want to know as much about you as I can."
"Well, I liked the new 'Star Wars' movie and playing 'Call of Duty' and 'Jumper' on Xbox." He looked at me and it appeared that he was trying to gauge my reaction to see if those were the types of things I wanted to know.
"So you like science fiction then?" I asked, since it would give us something in common.
"Yeah, I do. I've seen all the 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek' movies, but I've also watched a bunch of the Star Trek TV shows too. Mom and Dad bought me the 'Stargate' movie and all of the 'Stargate SG-1' and 'Battlestar Galactica' DVDs so I've watched them too."
"Wow! I didn't know this and think it's really great, because I'm a science fiction junkie too. Did you know that I write science fiction stories?"
"No! Really?" he countered, while looking at me totally amazed.
"Yes, I've written two books so far. One is already in print and the other one should be coming out shortly. I'm not sure if they might be a little over your head right now, but I'll give you a copy of each one so you can read them when you're ready. I'll even put a special message in each one and sign them for you."
"I'd really like that," he agreed as his smile broadened.
We continued to talk about the science fiction genre, which included movies, TV shows, and books, and then he told me which ones he liked best and those he thought were lame. We'd been talking for quite a while when I heard his mother yell down the hall at him. It seemed that she was hesitant about coming to the door and knocking, since she wasn't sure what we might be doing and didn't want to find out.
"Reid, you have camp tomorrow, so I want you to hop in the shower and then get ready for bed," she informed him. Reid casually shook his head in resignation, stood up, and moved toward the door.
"Yeah, ok," he called back while appearing dejected that we wouldn't be able to continue.
"Camp?" I asked, since I wasn't sure about this.
"Yeah, Mom and Dad signed us up for day camp while they're at work. It's better than going to a babysitter's house, cuz there's more to do there, but I'd rather stay here with you."
"I have a lot to think about tomorrow and don't need to be distracted. Don't worry, though, we can talk more about these things tomorrow after you get home and then over the weekend too," I promised, since he seemed slightly upset that we couldn't continue.
After Reid left the room, I picked up my suitcase, set it on the bed, and removed my shaving kit and the items I planned to sleep in. I also took out the clothes I was going to wear the following day and set them on top of the dresser along with my laptop, which I'd taken out of the carry-on bag. I did this so they would all be readily accessible when I woke up, so I could get started as soon as possible. I was just finishing zipping up the suitcase when Reid entered the room with a wet head and a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Sorry, I forgot to take my pajamas, underwear, and clothes for tomorrow when I left earlier," he apologized as he entered the room and shut the door behind him.
Reid then walked over to the dresser and began rummaging through it. After he'd pulled out a few items, he turned toward me and said something else. "As long as I'm here, I might as well prove to you that I'm not a little boy any more, in case you wanted to be sure."
As soon as he finished saying this, he dropped the towel and stood naked in front of me. To say I was shocked would have been an understatement, but I was also pleased with what I saw. Reid had definitely entered puberty and sported the start of a nice little ring of brown hairs above his circumcised penis, which was probably about 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) flaccid. Below it hung a fairly tight scrotum and I could see the outline of his testicles, which were about the size of grapes.
I guess you could say I was gawking at his package for longer than was polite or even necessary, but he was more mature than I'd expected. He caught on to the fact that I was staring at his junk right away and made a comment.
"Does this mean you like what you see and you'll do stuff with me now?" He then swiveled his hips and made his dick swing back and forth, while staring at me and waiting for an answer.
"Uh, sorry," I stammered as I tried to regain my composure. "You're far more developed than I'd first suspected and you definitely should be proud of what you're packing. It's obvious you're not a little boy any longer, so you don't have to worry about me thinking that." His grin broadened.
"Do you want to play with it now?" he followed, while looking at me with a hopeful expression plastered across his face.
"Uh, let's wait until I'm sure we're both ready for this," I offered lamely, since I didn't want to build any false hopes before I was totally prepared to commit to his father's proposal.
"Please? I'd really like it if you'd do that for me," he whined in response.
"Yes, I'm sure you would, but it's time for you to go to bed. If we're going to do this, then I don't want to have to rush or worry about your parents wondering what's taking you so long to do what you were told."
"But they both know we might be doing stuff with each other," he countered in an attempt to convince me to change my mind.
"They don't know that for sure, because I haven't agreed to it yet," I stated as Reid's shoulders drooped in disappointment. "If we both decide to go through with this, then we'll have plenty of time to do those things later. Just cool your jets until then."
"But I've told that them I want to do this already. I'm just waiting for you to say yes," he responded, which let me know I was the fly in the ointment. "If you say it's ok, then we can get started now."
"I still have a few more things to consider first, but after seeing you like this I have fewer unanswered questions and I'm closer to making up my mind. I'm just not quite there yet, so please be patient," I responded, as I glanced at his groin again.
Reid noticed where my eyes were focused and reached down to fondle his penis and then he shook it at me playfully. He also started to firm up, so I decided I'd better end this before I lost what little willpower I had left.
"Reid, please put your pajamas on and then head over to Evan's room."
He flashed me a disgusted glare as he reluctantly grabbed his pajama bottoms and slipped them on. Seeing he had already boned up, I estimated his erection to be about five inches (12.7 cm) long before he covered it, put on his pajama top, and walked toward me. He gave me a hug and a quick kiss on the lips, as opposed to kissing me on the cheek as he usually did, and then he bid me goodnight. He slowly moved toward the door, but he stopped and gave me a last hopeful gaze before leaving the room.
My head was spinning from everything that had happened, including what I'd just seen. Reid definitely wasn't an immature little boy any longer, but was he old enough and emotionally ready to get involved in sexual activities? After noting his physical maturity I assumed he was already masturbating, but was he mentally and psychologically mature enough to deal with someone else doing it to him? If so, was he also prepared to progress to the next level and become involved in even more? Those were the questions I had to find the answers to before I was willing to commit to this endeavor. I considered myself a boy lover, not a boy user or abuser, so I looked at my role as being similar to that of a doctor. The first rule was to do no harm, so I needed to be certain he was ready to do this, not merely willing and able.
I had difficulty falling asleep and the problem wasn't due to sleeping somewhere other than my own bed. My brain was traveling at warp speed as it attempted to process the various comments I'd heard and the things I'd seen thus far, as well as considering the offer. I was worried about what might happen if I agreed and Reid freaked out over something we did, or what would happen if someone else discovered what we were up to. Although I was never able to resolve those concerns, I managed to drift off every now and then, only to wake up a short time later.
I doubted I got more than two or three hours sleep before the kids headed off to camp and Brad and Pam left for work, but they were kind enough to let me sleep in. By that point I was so tired that I'd merely passed out from exhaustion, but at least it allowed me to get some rest. When I finally woke up later, I discovered Pam had left me a note saying I should feel free to help myself to anything I wanted. Brad and Pam had also left their contact information, in case I needed to reach them during the day.
Since I was alone, I fixed something to eat and then spent the next couple of hours snooping through Reid's room to see if I could discover more about him. During my search I found an old towel that he'd stashed between the headboard of the bed and the wall, which he obviously used as a cum rag. It had been placed where he could reach it easily without advertising the fact that it was there, but he must have forgotten to take care of it when he learned I'd be using his room. Since he hadn't been aware of the reason for my visit in advance, I concluded he hadn't left it behind intentionally for me to find, although it confirmed my suspicion that he'd begun masturbating.
Pam dropped the kids off at the house, and when they came inside Reid explained what was up. "Mom said we could stay here with you while she ran to the store."
"Yeah, that's fine." After that had been cleared up, I sat down and chatted with the three of them, as we watched a show on Nickelodeon together.
Even though I doubted Reid was interested in Nickelodeon any longer, I'd agreed to do it for a couple of reasons. First, I didn't want the younger kids to think I didn't want anything to do with them, but I wasn't sure if I wanted to be left alone with Reid either. I was worried that he'd try to pressure me into doing something sexual with him, so I opted to avoid putting myself in that situation until I was ready to make a firm commitment.
The tactic worked well and Pam returned from the store before too much time had passed, so I made sure to hang close to her until Brad got home too. This made it so Reid wasn't able to drag me off to his room where he could try to convince me to do something with him.
Shortly after Brad showed up, he pulled me aside and informed me that he'd taken the following day off from work so he could show me the houses he'd told me about earlier.
"Look, I haven't decided if I want to do this yet, so it might be a bit premature," I pointed out, since I felt he might be rushing things.
"I know, but this way if and when you do agree, we'll already know which places you'd prefer so we'll be able to make an offer without asking you to come back."
"What about Pam? Is she going to join us?"
"No. We've already gone through all of the places and have pared the choices down to these four. She'll be fine with any of them, so we just need your input."
"But she must like one or two more than the others." I was concerned and felt it important that we keep her happiest of all.
"Don't worry about it, because I had her rank the houses for me and she numbered her choices from one to four. Once you've done the same, the three of us will sit down and discuss the pros and cons of our top choices until we agree on the one we'd feel most comfortable with."
It seemed the two of them had thought this through already, so I agreed to go along and give him my honest opinion too. After I'd seen each of the places and the kids had gone to sleep Friday night, then the three of us would sit down together and discuss our choices. We'd do this until we reached a consensus on which house would be ranked first, second, and third, since you can't always be certain of getting your first choice.
Since Friday was now planned out for me, I helped Pam get dinner ready, and then after we ate I helped her clean up the dining room and kitchen too. I think Reid was getting frustrated that he wasn't able to pin me down long enough to spend some time alone, because once I'd finished doing those things with his mother, I went to spend time with the entire family. We watched a couple of shows on TV together before it was time for the kids to get ready for bed.
As soon as the last program ended, Pam took Evan and Ashley upstairs for their baths, and then Reid went to take his shower once they'd finished. I stayed downstairs and chatted with Brad until Pam returned, and then I spent some more time with both of them until I felt Reid had enough time to get his things from the room and go to sleep with his brother. Needless to say, I was mildly shocked when I open the bedroom door and found him lying on the mattress still wrapped only in a towel.
"What took you so long?" he huffed as I walked into the room. "I've been waiting here for a really long time."
"Reid, you didn't have to wait for me," I countered, trying to calm him down.
"But you said we could talk more tonight," he insisted, totally exasperated.
"Ok, I'll admit I forgot about making you that promise, but we'll have the entire weekend to talk. You still could have put your pajamas on and gone over to join your brother."
"But I wanted you to see this again," he announced as he pulled the towel off and dropped it on the floor. "I know you liked seeing me naked last night, so I wanted you to see me this way again. I wanted to remind you what you'll be getting if you do this for me."
"I'm already well aware of your assets," I replied playfully, while giving him a wink at the same time. "Just don't push too hard to get me to do this or I might just back away instead."
"Ok, ok. I'll stop bugging you about it, but do you want to jerk me off before I go to sleep?" he pressed, looking hopeful.
"No, not yet," I replied, since I still hadn't made up my mind if I was going to do this.
"Aw, come on," he whined, as his eyes continued to plead with me. "I haven't jerked off for two whole days now, because I was hoping you'd do it for me."
"Just head to the bathroom and take care of yourself quickly before you go to sleep," I suggested as he rolled his eyes in response.
"That's no fun," he griped as he placed his arms across his chest and began to pout. "Can't you just do it this once and then I won't bug you about doing it again while you're here."
"Reid, your offer is tempting, but I feel I should wait until I'm sure I'm going to go through with this," I reasoned, but I could tell he wasn't buying my argument.
"Well, I hope you make up your mind soon, because I'm not jerking off until you do it for me," he confessed, putting the onus squarely on my shoulders.
Reid slipped on his pajamas, gave me a quick kiss and a hug, and then flashed a final pleading glance in my direction as he exited the room. I watched as he slunk down the hallway looking totally dejected before entering Evan's room. Once the door had closed behind him, I went to the bathroom to finish my nightly preparations as well.
As I lay in bed later, I couldn't help but mentally go over my recent conversation with Reid, while noting how eager he seemed about doing this. If I were honest with myself, I was eager to do it too, but I wanted to be sure I'd covered all of the bases first, before I made a firm commitment. I hated to think the delay would mean the poor kid would suffer from blue balls until I did something with him or went home, but there was still a lot that I had to work out in my mind first.
