Lil Dude --- Chapter 18 "I know we're early, but I told Max I wanted to be here to help out wherever we can so you and James can enjoy your party too." Mary told me as she was offering her Italian sisterly tight hug to me and hospitality to our party. "Thanks Sis. What would I ever do without you guys?" I answered her as the hug continued. Mary was closer to me than either of my sisters, even Maggie who would be here tonight. "I hope there won't be much to do for any of us. The caterers are finishing up on the preparations now and they should be able to handle it all throughout the evening. James has given them very detailed instructions; and I have used this catering company in the past for some of our office functions. They have always been very detailed and conscientious with the food, beverages and service. I'm sure they will perform their job the same tonight. Knock on wood." I tapped my skull with my fist. Mary laughed. And Max moved in with his hug for me. The kids all followed, with Junior bringing up the tail end of the entourage. James and Mom joined us and introductions were made for Mom and Max, Mary, Junior and the rest of their family. Mary and Mom hit it off right away. Mom complimented Junior on his care of the boys over the summer; she said she had heard so many glowing accounts of his care that she was very pleased to finally meet this outstanding young man. Junior was blushing and beaming with pride at the same time and gave Mom a big hug. Next to arrive were Abigail, the apartment complex manager and her husband, Leo. "Derrick, it's a good thing the other tenants here haven't seen what you have done with this place or they will be expecting the same thing to be done with their apartments. This is just so wonderful." Abigail loved what we had done with the remodel. "Leo and I are so envious." She laughed. James led them into the party and made all the introductions. James and I had worked it out earlier that I would greet all the arrivals, introduce them to James, and he would make introductions to the rest of the people already there. As the size of the arrivals increased the other boys would then help out with introductions if they were needed. My sister, Maggie and her husband Eddie and their three kids, Joey, Rick and Jenny were the next to arrive. After hugs and kisses were exchanged, I introduced them to James and Jorge. Maggie stayed behind with me while James and Jorge took the rest of the clan over to meet Mom and Danny. "Dare, I love him. He is terrific. And what a hottie! He is gorgeous." She was raving on about James. "And Jorge, he is a real delight! Dare, I am so happy for you. I know the rest of the family is too. You guys have been the main subject of all the phone conversations and get-togethers since you first told all of us. Everyone is so overjoyed for you." Maggie gave me another hug and kiss. "Thanks Sis, I'm glad to hear that. I didn't know when talking on the phone if some of them were sincere or not. But I knew I was happy and had to share with everyone the source of that happiness. I'm just sorry things have been such a whirlwind around here since it all began that we haven't had time before now to get together." "Everyone understands, don't worry about it kiddo." My big sister was relieving my guilt I felt about not seeing them before now. She hugged me again then joined up with the rest of her family to meet everyone else. Ethel and Arlene, a lesbian couple that were friends of mine from the Dignity days in the past were the next to arrive with Frank and Scott, a gay couple who also had been friends of mine since mine and Miguel's participation with the Dignity gang. A lot of hugs, kisses and tears were exchanged. It had been quite awhile since we had all been together. It felt so good seeing these dear friends again. We had been like the 'six' musketeers, inseparable at all the planning sessions and social functions in the past. I introduced them to James and he led them in to meet the rest of the group. The timing of the arrivals was working out just great. There was just time for me to catch up with each arrival on welcoming them and introducing them to James and for them to integrate into the rest of the increasing attendees. "Derrick lad, how are you this evening?" Mike greeted me with a hug as he and Father Paul walked in the door. "Derrick, I'm sure you made a mistake when you sent an invitation to this old trouble maker here." Father Paul kidded me as he looked over to Mike and jabbed him in the ribs. Laughing I answered him, "Well, Father, you know I have this weakness for anything and anyone Irish, be it bad or good." "Touche'." Father Paul responded as Mike took his turn jabbing Father Paul in the ribs this time. We shared another good laugh and they headed on over to James. My gang from the office, Jack and his wife, Sandy, Gloria our office manager, Ted, our Director of the Design Department (head architect) and his wife Susan, Jody our part time office helper and her boyfriend Jim and my attorney, Paul and his wife, Teresa all arrived together en masse. James and Jorge led them all into the party and started their introductions. "Hi Son." I greeted Dustin as he arrived with Jon in tow. "Jon glad to see you. I'm glad you could make it this evening. You guys go on in and Dad will make the introductions for you." They walked in and met up with James and Jorge. "Here Pops, Aunt Mary told me to bring this to you. She said you were probably ready for it by now." Danny grinned at me as he handed me a full frosty Margarita glass. "Thanks Sweetheart. She is right, I am." I thanked him. "Are you having a good time meeting everyone?" "Yeah, this is great Pops. Lookit my cast! Everyone is signing it, isn't it awesome?" He beamed back to me. "Yeah, it is. Looks like you are running out of space almost." I chided him. He giggled and ran off to join his brothers and cousins. It was heaven watching him get all the attention with his broken arm. He was on cloud nine. Jorge came over and put his arm around my waist. "What's up Lil Dude? Are you having a good time?" I reached my free arm around his shoulder and pulled him in close to me. "Pops, this is so cool. There are so many people and they are all so nice." He answered me with those beautiful smiling big dark eyes of his as he squeezed me tighter. "I'm glad you are having such a good time meeting everyone Lil Dude. They are all really impressed with you. I have been hearing compliments on you all evening from everyone." He blushed. "Really?" "Yup, really. You go have a good time with everyone and I'll be in there soon. Just as soon as everyone has arrived I will join you, okay?" "Okay, Pops." He went back to join Danny and the other kids. James came up to me and hugged me around the waist. "This is turning into a great party Babe. Everyone is hitting it off great. Mom and the boys are in seventh heaven. I'm so glad we decided to do this." I kissed his cheek. "I am too Babe." Just then Jared and Steve arrived at the door. "Sorry we're late Pops and Dad." Jared smiled as he hugged us. "You're not late, everything is just getting started." James and I exchanged hugs with Steve. "Steve we're so glad you came tonight." "Thanks for inviting me Derrick and James." Steve politely returned. "You're welcome Steve; you're almost a member of the family so you belong here tonight. You two go on in and join the guys and they can make introductions." They started into the living room as I finished my sentence. "Well, just about everyone is here now Babe." I told James. Dr. Tom and Sean walked up to the door. "Is this the right place? I hear there is a knock out party going on in here." Tom bellowed as he hugged James, and it followed with a hug from Sean to me. "Well if it isn't a knock out party yet, it will be now that you two are here." James replied. James took them in and started introductions. "Hey Dare, how's it going?" Denny smiled as he and Paul walked in. We all exchanged an old surfer handshake. "We're doing great. How about you guys?" I welcomed them in. "We're doing great. We had a great time catching the waves this morning. Too bad you guys weren't there with us." Paul shared with me. "How's our one armed lil surfer doing?" "Well, see for yourselves." I pointed over to Danny and the guys. "Damn. Looks like he has had everyone in Long Beach sign that cast of his." Denny kidded. "Just about. Good thing you guys got to sign first." I laughed. Danny saw them and waved for them to come on over to see his cast. "Well, looks like we are being summoned by his royal highness. I guess we better get over there. See ya later Dare." Denny laughed as he and Paul headed over for Danny and the guys. James walked up to me again placing his arm around my waist. "Why don't you go on in Babe and let me watch the door for a while? Everyone is just about here now aren't they?" "Okay. Thanks. Yeah, all that's left to arrive are your staff from your office and my Brother and his girlfriend." "I can handle it Babe. Go on and start having a good time. As soon as everyone has arrived, I'll join you." He gave me a kiss and gently shoved me in the direction of the party. I found Mom and Mary and hugged them as I wiggled in between them. They shared with me all they had found they had in common. I told them I knew they would wind up enjoying each other's friendship. I excused myself and started making the rounds of chatting with everyone. I saw Mike and Father Paul with all the Dignity clique and spent some time with them. We reminisced about the good old days and how we needed to get back to times like those real soon...enjoying all our fellowships again. They offered their compliments on my new family and home. I told them how much I missed them and wanted them all spending more time with my new family as they could. They assured me they would. After a lot of kidding and teasing abuse from Mike, I pardoned myself and moved over to my sis and her family. They were with Abigail and her husband Leo, who were all listening to our guys retell their adventures from their first day surfing. I placed my arm around Maggie's shoulder as she turned and smiled at me. "These guys are terrific Dare. I'm glad they are members of our family now." Maggie told me as her husband Eddie smiled and nodded in agreement as he was listening to their adventures. "You are so fortunate and blessed my little brother." "Thanks Sis, I know I am." "Yes Derrick, I have received so many compliments from the other tenants as to how nice and well mannered all of the boys are." Abigail added. "Thanks Abby. I'm glad to hear that. I'd hate for us to be evicted from our own property." I laughed. "Oh Dare, you better go join James at the door. Look who just arrived. Why did you ever invite Tim? I hope he behaves himself tonight." I followed her glance and saw my older brother and his gorgeous girlfriend being welcomed by James. "He'll be alright I hope Sis." I kissed her on the cheek and headed over to them. "Hey little brother. How's it hangin'?" Tim was as crude as ever. He grabbed my shoulder and squeezed me into him. I looked at James and just shrugged my shoulders. "I'm doing well Tim. Sue you look terrific. I'm so glad you guys came." "Thank you Derrick for inviting us." Sue smiled so sweetly and sincere. "I have been anxious to meet everyone after all we have heard about your wonderful new family. We're so happy for you." "Thanks Sue. That means a lot to me and James to hear you say that." I beamed as I hugged James into me. "Maggie, Eddie and the kids are here. Why don't you guys go on in and join them and I'll be there shortly and start introducing you guys to everyone." They both smiled and left us for Maggie et al. "Well now you have met my alcoholic bisexual older brother, Babe. I just hope he stays sober tonight. He can bring down a party faster than anything when he gets drunk. He can be a real asshole. What's a real shame is that Sue is such a sweet gal, and she puts up with him where his four ex-wives couldn't. I really don't know how she does it." "Don't worry Babe. I'm sure he'll be okay tonight, he has to know how important this party is to you and everyone." James tried to reassure me. "He seems like a nice enough guy. You two sure look a lot alike. There is no doubt you are definitely brothers. He just looks like an older twin image of you." "We may look alike, but believe me, we sure don't act alike." I laughed a nervous laugh. "Good, I'm glad I got the cream of the crop then Babe." James gave me a peck on my cheek. 'Gawd, how I love my wonderful partner!' I thought to myself. We both looked up and saw his gang from his office arriving. James introduced them all to me. They were a small group, but it was a small office right now. They all seemed like very nice people. James told me he would take them in and introduce them to everybody. I went over to Maggie and Eddie and started talking with them and Tim and Sue. I then led Sue and Tim around the house introducing them to everyone. I could see Tim giving overly at attentive glances to my older sons and their boyfriends. I felt uneasy with this observation knowing things could get out of control here if Tim had too much to drink. His inhibitions and any moral or social good judgment would fly out the window as his intoxication level increased. He was so damned predictable. I was questioning myself again about sending HIS invitation, but I really liked Sue. Maggie and Eddie came over and joined us again. We were catching up on family affairs when I looked up and saw Paul with my camcorder video taping the party as he walked around from group to group. He and Denny came over to us. "Hey Maggie and Tim, long time no see." Denny spoke up. Maggie and Tim both recognized and remembered my old surfing buddy from jr. high and high school years. They introduced him to their other halves and Denny introduced Paul to them. "I hope you don't mind Dare, but I asked Dustin to get me your camcorder so I could make you guys a video album of the party. Guess you could say I'm on a bus man's holiday." Paul explained and laughed. "Mind? Of course I don't mind, are you kidding? But I didn't invite you to put you to work tonight Paul. If you're sure you don't mind, I appreciate it very much." I replied and thought how great of him to do this for us. "It's my pleasure Dare." Paul answered as he moved on to the next group. "Derry, you've got some great friends." Maggie volunteered. "Denny hasn't changed that much over the years. I'm surprised you guys have stayed friends over all these years. His partner Paul seems like a really nice guy too." "It's Dare, Sis. Derry was thirty years ago." I reminded and corrected her. "I know...you hate Derry. But you're still my little brother and it just slips out." Maggie was sorry about the slip. "Thanks Sis." Paul my attorney nodded over to me. I went over and joined him and Teresa his wife. "Dare, great party thanks for inviting us." Paul commented. "Yes, Derrick you have a wonderful family. We are so happy for you. I have been praying for this to come along so long for you." Teresa kissed my cheek. "Thank you both. It means a lot to me that you are here tonight. You've been such good friends over all these years. Through the good and the bad." "Well it's all good from here on out Buddy. And speaking of good, I have been in touch with Max and my office has Jorge's adoption petition ready to present to the court as soon as Max gives me the go ahead." Paul filled me in, he and Teresa were both beaming broad smiles as he shared this latest bit of information with me. "Oh Paul, thanks so much." I started to tear up with his news. Teresa seeing me tear up started getting moist eyes also she was so happy for us. James returned from the terrace where he had checked on the food buffet setup. "Everyone there's some tables filled with some great food out on the terrace that we hope you will all help yourselves to. Don't be bashful, please help yourselves and enjoy. There's a mountain of food out there that we hope will be all gone by the time the evening is over." Of course the boys and their group were the first to migrate to the buffet. A slow exodus of the guests followed in turn to the terrace. Mom and Mary decided to make sure the caterers were doing their jobs and stationed themselves by the tables to make sure everything was replenished as needed. The servers provided by the caterers kept making their rounds of the party making sure everyone's beverage needs were being taken care of. My brother Tim was taking over-advantage of their attentiveness. James and I were mixing with all the groups, sharing conversation and laughter and trying to be the genial hosts. I noticed Tim leave the group composed of my sister, Eddie, Sue and Mom and saw him go over to the older sons and their group. His arms and hands were all over them. I didn't like what I was seeing, but remained where I was. I was giving Tim the benefit of the doubt this time. The guys didn't seem too bothered or annoyed or at least they weren't letting on if they were. I didn't know if it was out of politeness on their part or over exaggeration of the situation as perceived on my part. Jorge and Danny started giving guided tours of our new home. Everyone else started meandering through out our new home, checking out the changes and new amenities. I was with the gang from my office and complimenting them on their great job. They were taking pleasure in seeing how well everything turned out and were proud of their accomplishments in such a short span of time. They were so pleased that our family was enjoying and appreciating the fruits of all their hard labors. We were standing in the living room talking and laughing when I saw James walk down the main bedroom suite hall to the bathroom there and enter it. I noticed Tim leave the guys and follow slowly behind James to the bathroom. He opened the unlocked door and went in, closing the door behind him. I definitely did not like this. I trusted James wholeheartedly. I did not trust my brother. I excused myself from my gang and very slowly walked down the hall toward the bathroom door and waited outside. "Sorry guy. I didn't know this room was occupied with the door unlocked. Hope you don't mind but I gotta drain the lizard really bad. Beer goes right through me." Tim unzipped his fly, pulled his cock out and walked over to the toilet that James was peeing in. Tim stood there next to James and started his stream of pee flowing. Tim was making it obvious that he was staring at James cock. "Naw, that's cool Tim. I forgot to lock the door, just out of habit I guess. I'm so used to it just being our family here I guess." James uncomfortably but politely replied. "Damn, guy. That is one gorgeous cock you've got there. I bet my little brother sure has a lotta fun with that one. I know I would sure like to give it and you a try." Tim reached over and grabbed James' dick. James pulled away and cut his pee short mid-stream. He pulled Tim's hand off his cock and put it back in his pants and zipped up the fly. "Hey James, we're all family now. You don't have to be so unfriendly. I just wanted to check you out and maybe have a little fun is all." Tim's slurred speech explained his intentions. "Well Tim, family doesn't mean that this is available to you. Sorry." James replied with a little disgust in the tone of his voice. Tim still was not giving up. He grabbed James hand and tried to place it around his cock. James pulled his hand off of Tim's cock and out from Tim's hand's grasp. "I'm not interested Tim!" James was as firm as he could be without losing his temper. "What's the matter man? My cock isn't good enough for you? Mine's just as good as my brothers's, give it a try and see." Tim's voice was getting louder. "No thanks. I'm just not interested Tim." James was getting really ticked off now as he was trying to get by Tim to leave the bathroom and being polite wasn't accomplishing it. Tim had finished peeing and his cock was now hard. He left it out of his fly. "Come on good looking; take a sample of this baby. You'll like it better than my little brother's." Tim almost was shouting as he tuned to block James exit. His cock was jabbing James in the groin as he tried to pull James into him. I overheard enough through the door and threw it open. I saw James trying to escape Tim's embrace and went over and shoved my drunken brother away so James could leave. "It's okay Babe. No harm, he's just had a little too much to drink I think." James was trying to calm me down. "Oh so now I'm a drunk hunh? You been filling his head full of your shit Dare?" Tim loudly mumbled. "Tim I could I could kick your ass, right here and now if I didn't know you were drunk. Dammit. Put that thing away and zip your pants up." Steam was streaming out of my ears I knew. "Oh so now my cock isn't good for you either now hunh? You used to love what it could do for you. You just don't want pretty boy here seeing how much you love this cock." Tim was waving his cock at me. This bastard was now pushing me to the limit damn him. I didn't care if he was my own blood. He wasn't going to be disrespectful to my guy. "Tim SHUT THE FUCK UP and cool it NOW, DAMN YOU, or I guarantee you will be sorry!" I warned him as James was trying to pull me away. "Come on Babe. Let's just go and let him cool down." James was pulling me back. I was relenting to James' wishes because I knew we had a houseful of guests that we didn't want disrupted by my asshole brother. I backed off and almost slammed the door shut. As James and I started down the hall toward the living room, Maggie rounded the corner from the living room. "Is everything okay? When I didn't see Tim or either one of you guys around I was afraid he was up to something." Maggie's intuition developed from past episodes didn't fail her. "It's cool Sis. He's just drunk again." I tried to be calm answering her. She could see otherwise though. "Maybe I should get Sue to take him home now." She volunteered. "Naw, give him time to cool down. There's no need to ruin Sue's evening Sis." "Okay, but I'm going to keep an eye on him just in case. I don't want to see him ruin your party. And Sue is used to it, bless her heart. She can handle him when he gets like this." Maggie hugged me. "I'm sorry he did whatever he did. Now you guys go enjoy your guests and party okay?" "Thanks Sis. I love ya." I kissed her on her cheek and James and I went in and joined the party. "Ah, there you are lads." Mike greeted us as we walked into the living room. "Paul and I want to thank you for inviting us tonight. We had a lovely time but we need to be getting back to the rectory. We both have some work to finish before our Masses tomorrow." "Mike and Father Paul, we're so glad you came tonight. It wouldn't have been family and a party without you here to share in it." I offered as I hugged Mike and shook Father Paul's hand. "Yes, we are all so glad you two could make it. And we'll see you Sunday at Mass." James added. "Thank you again boys. Good night lads and God bless." Mike said as they started out the door. "Good night." James and I said in unison. We went back in and joined the crowd. Several guests began coming over and thanking us for inviting them. They all said what a wonderful time they had and continued to compliment James and me on our family and new home. They wished us much happiness and assured us they would keep in touch. The group gradually dwindled down to Max and Mary and their family, Maggie and Eddie and their family, Tim and Sue, Mom, all the boys and the older guys' dates, James and me. We all moved out onto the terrace. Tim stretched out on one of the chaises and passed out. The rest of us shared some more laughs. We finished off the remaining food and James gave the caterers the go ahead to start breaking down the buffet set up and packing their things up so they could take off. Mom, Mary, Sue and Maggie were looking at Mom's garden. They were all discussing the plants and what all might look good and grow well there for future plantings. Maggie, Sue and Mary were admiring what Mom had done with her garden 'patch' in such a short time and how well the plants were doing. Tim was snoring away on the chaise. At least that was a worry out of the way for the time being. The older guys, their dates, and Max and Eddie were talking surfing. Max and Eddie were sharing past surfing experiences from our youth. The kids were all seated around the jacuzzi with their shoes off and their feet dangling in the water. They were sharing summer vacation adventures and giggling up a storm. James and I joined the older guys after complimenting the catering staff, giving them their gratuities and seeing them on their way. Max was sharing the day that Denny and I taught him to surf. It was sounding like an episode of the Three Stooges, it was so funny hearing him retell it. Then Eddie told of the day he first went surfing with all of us 'younger snots' and we put his ass to shame the way we rode the waves and showed him up. Mary and Maggie came over to roundup their spouses and gather their children to head on home. It was starting to get a little late. With groans from all the younger kids, they got out of the jacuzzi and followed their mom's orders. To ease the displeasures being shared I went over to the kids and told them all; before school started up again, we would have a big sleep over party for all the cousins so they would have more time to get to know one another better. This was met with a lot of 'Yays', 'Alrights' and 'Cools'. I could read the 'Are you fuckin' nuts Dare?' expression on all their parents' faces. Sue was waking Tim out of his drunken stupor. Eddie went over to give her a hand to get the asshole out to their car. Maggie said they would follow Sue home so Eddie could give her a hand getting Tim into the house. An informal reception line had formed of good bye hugs and kisses as everyone headed for the front door and on out to their cars. With everyone gone now but all of the guys and Mom, it was a nice and welcomed relief that the party was over. Mom said she was tired and going to her room for a bath and then bed. We all kissed her good night and she left for her room. Danny and Jorge came over to James and me. We could see wheels turning in their angelic little skulls. Their eyes and expressions were dead giveaways. "Pops and Dad, can we go in the jacuzzi now?" Jorge spoke up for both. I looked at James and he looked at me. "It's okay with me if it's okay with your dad." I teased. "It's okay with me if it's okay with your pops." James continued the tease. Jorge put his hands on his hips and looked at Danny. "Oh, here we go again bro." He shot a dirty glance at both of us and asked, "Will one of you just say yes already!" The impatient tone was almost successful until they both started in giggling. With James and me both nodding approval Danny was putting his protective waterproofing bag over his cast and Jorge was securing it for him. They stripped out of their clothes right there at the edge of the spa and got in naked as jaybirds. The older guys saw what was happening and shot us an 'us too?' glance and we nodded. They were over at the jacuzzi in no time, stripping their clothes off and getting in. James went over to the new outdoor linen cabinet and grabbed a stack of towels. And put them within reach of the spa. Seeing how inviting the water looked James grabbed my hand and brought me over to the spa with him. We took off our clothes and joined all the others in the frolicking. Eight naked males were enjoying the warm bubbling water. There were some grab asses, grab cocks and grab ball sacks going on but nothing went beyond that. Most of all, we just enjoyed the intimacy of each others' company and the warm bubbly relaxing water. We sat there and talked, laughed and just relaxed for quite a while. James saw that the two youngest ones were getting sleepy and commented to me maybe it was time we got them to bed. I agreed it had been a long day and a full evening for those two. They were more than ready for their beds. James and I got out and told the younger ones it was bedtime, there was no argument from either one of them as they got out. They were almost sleep walking at this point. James started dying off himself then Jorge, I dried myself and Danny. We said our good nights to the older guys and led our boys' to the bathroom first and then on to their bedrooms. James and I stopped by the boys' bathroom and rinsed the chlorine off of them under the shower spray then toweled them dry again before taking them to their beds. I tucked Jorge in and kissed him good night, he was snoring before I left the room. James had done the same with Danny. James' and my paths crossed in the hall as we made our ways to the ones we hadn't tucked in so we could give them their good night kiss. Danny looked so angelic, the blond bangs over his forehead and his pink cheeks complimenting his tanned freckled face as he was already in dreamland. I kissed him goodnight and brushed his hair with the back of my hand. James and I met up in the hall again and headed for our shower to get the chlorine off before we hit the sack for the night. We showered and dried and then crawled into the bed. "Babe, I'm so sorry about tonight. Tim is such an asshole." I felt really bad that James had to be on the receiving end of Tim's obnoxious behavior. James pulled me into him. "Don't worry about it Babe. I knew it was just the alcohol talking. No harm...no foul." "That's just it, it's not the alcohol talking that is the way he really is, it's just that when he drinks the real Tim comes to the surface. I'm so sorry I invited him now and that you had to go through that lousy scene with him." I hugged James' arm tight to my chest and kissed his hand. "Don't worry about it Babe. I'm a big guy and it didn't traumatize me or anything, okay?" "Okay. I just wanted you to know that I am sorry." "Besides that, I find this cock," he grabbed his hand around my stiffening member, "much more desirable." He kissed me on my neck. "Good, cause THIS ONE is yours!" I teased him. "Well, if things should ever go sour for us, I know where I can find an exact duplicate to it now." He giggled. "Like hell you will! That day will never come! I promise you that!" I laughed back. I leaned back into the security of my love's embrace and we drifted off to sleep. "You guys up to a four way?" Jon asked as things quieted down in the spa. Jared and Dustin looked at each other. Steve said he would like to try it. Dustin and Jared weren't too sure, but gave in. They all got out of the spa and dried off and left the terrace for Jared's room. "We gotta be safe though." Jared spoke up. Jared wasn't too sure about this with Jon. He knew Dustin had told him they always used protection, but Jared who had been a player in his own right up until meeting Steve had his reservations. He now felt so deeply for Steve that his protective mode kicked in. Jared grabbed a handful of condoms out of his night stand drawer and a bottle of lube. Jon began initiating the foreplay. Steve was a youthful inexperienced anxious participant. Dustin was thinking that Jared could become jealous somewhere along the line because he knew him so well. Jon got the ball rolling, so-to-speak, and the others followed suit. To be continued . . .
