Lil Dude --- Chapter 21 Both cars turned off Highway Eighteen onto Pine Crest Drive, driving up the last significant incline from Big Bear to the community known as Sugarloaf. The tires crunched over the gravel driveway and came to a stop under a massive carport structure. Doors were flung open and "Wows!" were heard from all over emanating from both vehicles. "Jeez, Pops! This is our cabin?" Jared exclaimed excitedly. "Yes. This is it. Our little cabin getaway." Derrick answered. "Babe, I hate to be the one to inform you of this, but this is no cabin." James laughed, "This is a resort!" The last comment drew laughter from all. "Maybe I have been a little modest in its description but once we're inside I think you will all feel like you are in a cabin. Well . . . maybe a well appointed cabin." Derrick joked back. "Pops, I wish Mom was here too, to see this!" The Lil Dude spoke up. "I know Sweetheart, but she was still tired from all the work she did this week for the dinner yesterday. And with your Aunt Mary coming over later today to play some cards with her, they can both rest up from all their hard work. She'll come up here with us soon and see it then. I promise. Okay?" Derrick replied. "Okay." Jorge was satisfied with the answer he was given. "Come on guys let's get the cars unloaded and everything inside so we can unpack and start looking around and checking this mountain palace out." James directed. Laughing, everyone pitched in, grabbed the baggage and the varied recreational equipment they had brought along and headed for the entrance to the cabin. Derrick punched in the security code on the keypad next to the door and unlocked the front door. As they entered one by one, more exclamations of awe and approval were issued. Derrick then advised, "Just drop everything here in the great room and I'll give you a tour before we decide on who gets what room and start unpacking." "Pops, I'm like Dad, if this is your idea of a cabin, I'd love to see what your idea of a resort is." Dustin commented raising another chorus of laughter from all. "This is awesome!" "Okay you guys, enough of you ragging on my view of our cabin. You'll come to appreciate all the creature comforts in short time I am sure." Derrick let out a muffled giggle. James observed, "Babe, I love this great room. The living room, dining room and kitchen all in one is fantastic. Especially the way you have the areas all laid out. It's so roomy but so comfortable at the same time. And the rustic furnishings do give you the feeling of being in a cabin." "Thanks Babe. That's what I tried for in the design of it." Derrick hugged James. Derrick showed them all that was involved is opening up the cabin for occupancy. Turning on the water valves and where they were located and turning on the gas supply to the cabin; lighting pilot lights on the water heater, the oven and main heating unit for the cabin. Derrick left the cabin's electrical power on all the time so the refrigerator and freezer would always be fully chilled when needed and to power the cabin's security system. After the tour was over, it was decided that Jared and Steve would share one of the bedrooms downstairs and Dustin would take the other one, just in case he got lucky while they were up there, so he said. This comment egged out a lot of guffaws from the gang. James, Derrick and the younger boys would take the two king sized beds in the master suite loft upstairs. With all the unpacking done, it was decided they would head into Big Bear City to do some sightseeing and stop at the grocery store to stock up on some food for the cabin. Derrick pointed out several sights of interest and then as they got out of the car in the store's parking lot, they split into two groups. James and Derrick went inside the store to do the shopping while the boys looked around town a little more. An appointed time was agreed upon to meet back at the car. The boys wandered up and down the streets of downtown Big Bear City, known as The Village. They looked in the windows of all the businesses and shops, and even entered a few to browse. All were making mental notes on locations they wanted to come back to for further investigation. Dustin was also taking note of the hot guys he saw and where he saw them, again for further investigation. The younger ones wanted to come back and check out the arcade with all the games. The group eventually meandered back to the grocery store's parking lot and met up with James and Derrick just as they had finished putting the last of the groceries into the car and were leaning against the car sipping on some canned sodas. Taking a different scenic route on the return to the cabin, Derrick pointed out more sights. Dustin asked if there were any gay hang outs up here and Derrick answered him that he didn't know of any gay exclusive ones, but knew of several gay friendly locations that he had discovered on his own or had been told about by gay friends of his. This brightened Dustin's hopes even more. He'd find out more from Derrick later, what and where they were, and see if he could check them out on his own. Once back inside the cabin James announced the dinner plans, "Pops and I decided to barbeque some steaks for dinner tonight if that sounds okay with everyone. You guys change into something comfortable and then meet back here in the kitchen area for your job assignments regarding dinner." "Wow that sounds great," the Lil Dude chimed up, "Come on Danny, let's go change clothes." Giggling to each other they ran over to the older brothers and whispered in their ears, then scampered up the stairs. The older brothers laughing headed off into their bedrooms. With puzzled expressions on their faces, James and Derrick began unloading the grocery bags and placed all the food into the refrigerator, the freezer and cupboards. Finished with that, they headed outside to get the barbeque started and set up for the steaks. On their return to the kitchen they were met with an eye-opening surprise. All five boys were standing there in all their natural glory with not a stitch of clothing on any of them. "Okay guys, what's up?" James asked laughing. "And I'm not talking about your dicks; I can see that they are all up!" Jared spoke up, "It's all Lil Dude's doing." "What do you mean it's Jorge's doing?" Derrick asked. "Well he dared us all to get comfortable like we used to at home before Mom moved in." Jared continued. "And we thought why not, it's been awhile, so we did it." "So then it's ALL Jorge's doing, huh?" Derrick mockingly leered at Jared. "He forced you all to go along with it and accept the dare, and I suppose he even held a gun to your heads and forced all of you to strip?" "Well not exactly," Jared meekly acceded. "Yeah Bro, no one forced you to." Jorge defensively blurted out looking dead serious at Jared. "That's what I thought." Derrick commented, then turned to James, and burst out laughing. "Jared, Son, looks like your answer backfired on you." James laughed. "And now you're on your little brother's hit list." "Yeah, Bro, you just tried to get me into trouble with Pops and Dad. I'll remember that." Jorge glared a warning wink at Jared. Everyone busted up laughing with the last comment. Jared fired him back a 'give it your best shot kid' expression and then joined the others' laughter. "Okay, but no one goes outside dressed like that, or undressed I guess I should say. This place isn't licensed as a nudist resort and we don't need some nosey passerby phoning in a complaint to the Sheriff's office. Understood?" Derrick instructed them. "Okay Pops." They all answered in unison. "Dad and I will change into our shorts, so we can handle the barbequing in modest attire." Derrick smiled as he and James headed up the stairs to change. Returning to the kitchen the dads saw that they didn't have to assign dinner duties at all. Everyone was busy doing their share of getting the dinner items prepared for serving. James grabbed the steaks from the counter where they had been setting and marinating, and Derrick grabbed a couple of beers from the refrigerator and they went out onto the covered patio and started grilling the steaks on the built-in LP gas barbeque that was permanently installed there. With the steaks on the grill, Derrick and James both went over to the patio railing and leaned against it. They were looking and taking in all the beautiful scenery while occasionally taking a long swig from their bottles of beer. "You know Sweetheart; this is really beautiful here. . . so calming and serene." James broke the silence. "I have always thought so. I'm glad you like it. And the boys seem to be enjoying it. I hope we have a lot of wonderful times here." Derrick leaned over and kissed James on the cheek. "I'm sure we will Babe, I'm sure we will." James returned Derrick's kiss with one of his own to Derrick's cheek. "I better check on the steaks." James commented as he got off the railing and walked toward the barbeque. "I'll go in and see how the rest of the dinner is progressing." Derrick answered. "Be right back." Derrick entered the kitchen and saw that all the food had been prepared and was ready for serving and saw that all the guys were sitting in the living room watching the TV and they were all wearing shorts. "Hey guys, looks great. I see everything is ready to go. Why did all of you decide to put on shorts?" Derrick inquired. "So we could eat out on the patio instead of here inside." Jorge answered. "Well if you want to eat outside you will need to put on more than just a pair of shorts. This isn't like back at home. Once the sun goes down up here it gets pretty cold this time of year. How about if we all just eat inside and are more comfortable?" Derrick waited on their answer. "That's probably best then Pops." Dustin replied. "I'll set the table." "I'll help." Danny volunteered. "Okay, the steaks should be ready in a couple of minutes and Dad and I will bring them in." Derrick turned and went back out the door to the patio. "They've got everything ready. Seems they thought we could eat out here but I told them how chilly it got up here once the sun went down." Derrick shared with his partner. "Yeah, I've noticed with the sun setting now it's starting to cool off quite rapidly. The steaks are ready. Let's get them on the table Babe." James answered. They both placed the steaks on the serving platter and Derrick turned off the gas to the barbeque and closed the hood down on the grill. Walking in the door they saw all the boys gathered at the table. Derrick started laughing and got a questioning look from James. Derrick met James expression answering, "Five minutes ago they were all wearing shorts, now they're all naked as a jay bird again." The dads glanced into the living room and saw pairs of shorts strewn all over the place. Everyone chuckled at the observation and took a chair to sit down on. "Danny, Son, would you say grace for us please." Derrick asked. "Okay." Danny answered, and began the prayer. When he finished all said, "Amen." And started passing around the plates and bowls of food. Conversation consisted of observations of the drive up the mountain, the sights they saw in town, the cabin and wondering how Mom was doing. "I'll call her when dinner is finished and we can all wish her a good night." James responded. Everyone was happy with that bit of information. They all missed her presence with them here at the cabin. "I have an idea for tonight for kind of a family thing." Dustin spoke up. "I don't know if Jorge or Danny have either one been away to camp, but I thought maybe we could build a fire in the fireplace and all gather around it like a campfire and tell stories. Maybe toast some marshmallows and pop some popcorn. Whaddya think?" "Sounds great to me. Danny hasn't been to any camp yet. How about you Jorge?" James replied. "I've never been to a camp either." Jorge answered. "That does sound like fun then, but keep the stories from being too scary. Dad and I don't want to be awakened in the middle of the night by some screaming nightmares that some older brothers may have been responsible for." Derrick added. "We'll keep them tame Pops." Dustin half heartedly promised. Dinner was finished and everything had been cleaned up and put away, including the dirty dishes placed into the dishwasher. James had called Mom and everyone was taking their turn filling her in on the day's activities and listening to her report of her day without them. The I love you's and goodbyes were exchanged and the call was ended. Justin had built a great roaring fire in the fireplace, Dustin had brought out a bag of marshmallows he had found in the kitchen and straightened out some wire coat hangers he confiscated from the closets. Danny and Jorge brought in big bowls of popcorn to be shared. They all sat down or stretched out on the braided rugs in front of the fireplace. The light from the fireplace was the only illumination for the room and the crackling and popping of the logs burning were the only sounds to be heard. James and Derrick started telling stories they had heard at camp. Dustin shared his experience from one camp he had attended and told of his first crush on a guy, a counselor at the camp. Steve shared a story he had heard at a camp he once attended, and then it came to Justin's turn. "Well this story took place at a Boy Scout camp that I went to. The story happened the year before I went, but when I got there we all heard the details and it scared the shit out of all of us. I never enjoyed that camp out because of the story." Justin paused, and then continued. "It seems there had been a lot of bears bothering the campers, not just at this camp, but all the others there in the area. The park rangers and scout leaders were constantly warning all of the campers and scouts to be watchful and careful and to never leave the campsites by their selves ever for any reason. Everyone was cautious and the first day went by without even one bear being sighted. After a fun evening everyone turned in for the night and went to sleep in their assigned tents. One of the boys woke during the middle of the night and needed to pee. Forgetting all the warnings, he grabbed his flashlight and went outside and walked down a trail a little distance from the tent so no one would hear him pee. He found a nice spot and let the hose empty away as they say. The next morning when the scout leaders were taking a head count they noticed this kid was missing. They formed a search party composed of all the scout leaders and rangers, and had the kids remain there at the campsite. After a couple of hours the adults found the hideous remains of the young Boy Scout partially hidden under a shrub by the side of one of the trails. The sight was so horrendous that many of the adults had lost the contents of their stomachs upon gazing at the sight. The boy's throat had been slashed preventing him from screaming for help and where his dick and balls had been there was now a big gory bloody gaping hole. Bear paw tracks were seen leaving from the site. Without giving the details to any of the other campers or scouts upon their return to prevent panic, the adults had decided that tomorrow they would leave the camp for safety's sake and come back some other time for their campout. They gave specific instructions to all the boys. "Do not leave your tents for any reason tonight. No matter what!" Well like there always is, there were a couple of know it all kids in the group. After all the others appeared to be asleep, they quietly got their flashlights and sneaked out of their tents. They walked down the same trail the other boy had taken the night before. Unknown to them of course, at about the location the boy's body had been found earlier that day, they heard a rustling of branches. Cold chills of fear went up and down their spines and they grabbed a hold of each other. Remaining completely still they heard no more sounds. They started to turn around to run back to their tents and they heard heavy breathing. Again, they froze, paralyzed in their tracks. Too late though. Before they knew what had happened to them they both felt a razor sharp claw slice across their throats and everything started to go dim and then black for them. The last thing they could both feel was a fiery sting of pain at their crotch." There was a frozen silence in the room; the young boys had been so intensely involved listening they were getting cold chills. James was the closest to Jared and saw from the firelight where Jared's genitals were located in relation to his proximity. He very quietly and very quickly reached over and grabbed Jared's cock and balls in his hand and clamped down on them as hard as he could. Jared screamed and jumped and the others did too in reaction to him. James rolled on the floor in hysterics, laughing so hard he almost peed himself. As soon as the pandemonium calmed and the others had discovered what had happened, they all began to laugh at Jared's setting his self up for that one. And James' quick thinking. After Jared's pulse calmed down, giggling he ended the story with, "This story just goes to show you that you should always listen to your elders; or don't go camping where gay carnivorous bears are known to hang out." He reached over and gave James a loving shove. Still laughing, Derrick spoke up. "Looks like you got what you had coming to you Son. 'You didn't listen to your elders.' We warned you no scary stories." He laughed some more then added, "Why don't we all hit the spa for a few minutes to wind down from that one, and then head for the showers and bed." "Okay, but let's make Jared sleep out doors naked tonight." Jorge added. More laughter followed his little joke. "Then the bears will get him and leave us alone. After all he has already had practice." "Good one Lil Dude, spoken like a true brother of mine." Dustin shared. "Yeah, are there gay carnivorous bears up here Pops?" Steve giggled and received a love tap on the head from Jared. "Are there any bears up here Pops?" Danny was serious with his question. "Yes Sweetheart, there are bears up here in the mountains. But this time of year they are up higher in the mountains and most of them are sleeping, hibernating. They aren't down here close to the cabin. All we have around here this time of the year are small animals and birds. And besides we are inside this cabin and nothing can get inside to get us, we are all safe in here, okay?" Derrick was a little concerned how Danny was going to process this answer and hoping it would calm any fears he might be having. Thinking on it some more and a little put out with Jared for scaring Danny, he added. "But we can always put your brother, Jared, outside for bait tonight like the Lil Dude said if you want. Just to make sure that is." "Yeah, let's." Jorge very quickly responded giggling. Everyone laughed again except Jared, he got Pops meaning, and then Danny answered, "No I don't want Jared to get hurt." "Okay then, it's settled. Jared can sleep inside with the rest of us, even if he was a bad boy." James laughed. "Let's go get into that hot tub." After sharing a lot more laughs and quite a bit of grab ass and grab cock, everyone was feeling a little water logged and it was time get out of the hot tub and to head for the showers and bed. The older brothers headed down the stairs and the younger ones headed to the shower in the bathroom off the master bedroom. Derrick and James remained sitting on the edge of the hot tub talking. "I'm hoping Danny will be okay tonight after that story of Jared's. It looked like it had him a little shaken at the time. Honestly, at times I swear Jared is a bigger kid than any of the others and I could spank his furry butt if it would help any." Derrick spoke. "I think Danny will be okay. It's been a while since he's had any nightmares. I think you explained things pretty well to him Babe. But I know what you mean about Jared. At times I feel like I could wring his neck too. I think it's the 'forever a kid' heart he has that makes him so damned lovable to all of us and keeps one of us from shoving him in front of a fast moving truck." James response was filled with laughter. Derrick replied, "You're right on both counts Babe. I think Danny will be alright. And Jared is a lovable asshole often as not. I'm glad he has Dustin and Steve to help him stay in line most of the time." They both got up from the spa's ledge and started toward the bathroom. On entering the bathroom they saw both young guys toweling dry, and James jumped into the shower followed by Derrick. The boys left to get in bed. They were both drained from all the day's and evening's events. Both thoroughly dried off, Derrick and James entered the bedroom to find both boys sitting up on one of the beds and watching them. Derrick and James went over and gave both boys a good night kiss and hug and then headed for their own bed. They pulled back the bed clothes to lie down. Pulling the top sheet and blanket up over them they saw that both boys were still just sitting on their bed. "What's up guys?" James asked. "Pops, can we sleep with you and dad tonight?" Danny asked with almost a begging tone to it. "Sure you can Sweetheart. What's the matter?" Derrick calmly replied and quizzed. "Well, you know. Jared's story has Danny still a little bit upset and I don't want to sleep alone tonight either." Jorge responded. "Come on over and hop in guys." James offered. In a flash two naked boys were scampering under the covers between their dads warm safe bodies. Danny scooted in close spooning up next to Derrick's front side and Jorge nudged his warm little body spooning in close to James. Both dads reached a protective and comforting arm over the boy next to him. Derrick reached up over his head to the headboard of the bed and turned of the light switch. "Is everyone comfortable?" James asked. Both boys mumbled yes and were soon soundly asleep and quickly followed into slumberland by their dads. After an uneventful and very restful sleep, the following morning Derrick awoke to a strange sensation from his genitals. They were warmly and tightly clamped between Danny's upper thighs just below Danny's genitals. He also felt rapid movement going on in the bed. Squinting his eyes open he saw that the covers and sheets had been pulled down off of both he and James. He could see that Jorge had a vise grip on James cock same as Danny had on his. He could see the head of James hardon poking through underneath Jorge's balls. He saw that Jorge was stroking Danny's dick and that Danny was returning the favor to Jorge. Occasionally they both brushed their hands against the swollen heads of their dads' cocks, exciting them all the more. Derrick just lay there and watched the action. He then noticed James was squinting and watching the action also. They exchanged a knowing smile but remained still. The boys were so involved with what they were doing that neither had noticed that the dads were awake and watching and feeling their ministrations with enjoyment. Soon after Derrick felt the vise like grip on his cock and balls tighten and shiver, he knew Danny was dry cumming. He saw Jorge's little rigid cock spasm and spurt out a small amount of clear fluid at the same time. Looking up he saw and knew that James had seen, and experienced the same sensations he had. Almost telepathically they held onto the boys and moved them right up next to each other sandwiched between the dads; James could feel the tip of Derrick's cock head touching his. The boys remained in the same positions, keeping their thighs clamped onto their dads' jewels. They kept their bodies still, but were now aware that the dads were now included in the action. Derrick felt his and James' precum mixing over the tips of their cock heads and they began rhythmic motions of rubbing them together enjoying the sliding intimate sensations. In no time they both forcefully shot their full sticky loads between the junction of the two boys' bodies. After the last ejaculation they all remained completely still. The silence was broken as both boys began giggling. They pulled their bodies apart and then the dads watched as Jorge went down and licked Danny's pubic area and thighs clean of all the cum on him. And Danny then moved down on Jorge's body and did the same. Jorge came back up and put his lips over James' mouth and forced it open with his tongue. His tongue entered and shared the fruits of his licking with James. Danny seeing what Jorge was doing copied the actions and did the same with Derrick. After being satisfied that all the love fluids had been mutually shared and enjoyed by all, the kisses broke off and Derrick spoke up. "Well, good morning everyone." James and the boys broke into an almost musical laughter. "Let's hit the shower, get dressed and get some real breakfast started." James was chucking still. Dried and dressed the four hit the stairs and started down to the kitchen. "I'll wake the older guys and get them up for breakfast." Derrick said. They reached the bottom of the stairs and James and the boys walked toward the kitchen while James went to the door of what was Jared and Steve's room. He knocked on the door and said, "Hey guys time to get up. We're fixing breakfast now." "Come on in Pops." Jared's voice boomed through the door. Derrick opened the door and saw Jared laying on his side behind Steve and could tell from the movements, that Jared was deep inside Steve's tight ass. He saw that Dustin was down the bed in front of Steve with Steve's cock buried deep in his throat and his own hand on his own cock rapidly jacking off. "It looks like everyone is awake in here!" Derrick exclaimed. "Finish up what you're doing quickly and get dressed and join the rest of us in the kitchen for breakfast. I'll see you in there." "Don't go Pops. Stay and watch the show. We're getting close and knowing someone is watching is such a turn on; we should all be cumming in no time." Jared invited. Derrick went over and sat on the edge of bed behind Jared. He took his hand and started running it gently through Jared's sweaty hair as the guys all moaned with pleasure. Dustin triggered off the reactions. His cock spurted cum clear across the bed as he came. This triggered Steve's ejaculation and Derrick could see his body rigidly arch to the occasion as he filled Dustin's mouth with his full load. Derrick could see Dustin's throat muscles rapidly swallowing every delicious drop of Steve's man nectar. When Steve's sphincter muscle spasmed and clamped down on his deeply buried swollen cock, Jared lost it and gave up his full load of cum into Steve's warm, moist and tight love channel. They all collapsed breathing deeply. "Okay, hit the showers boys. After that sweaty workout you all need it. See ya in a few minutes in the kitchen. Now get a move on." Derrick rose up from the bed and gave Jared's furry butt a light love tap with his hand briefly lingering, enjoying the feel of Jared's coarse butt fur against the palm of his hand, and left the room for the kitchen. As Derrick entered the kitchen James innocently asked, "Are the boys coming?" Derrick laughed and replied, "I guess you could say that. They should be here soon." Later that afternoon Derrick and James had the cabin all to their selves. Jared and Steve had taken the SUV into the village and took the young brothers along with them. Dustin had taken the truck and gone off on his own to explore the 'surroundings' and the guys that the surroundings provided. "I can only imagine the plans Mom and Mary put together yesterday for the commitment ceremony." James said as they were sitting together out on the patio steps taking in nature at its best. "Yes, I have a feeling they are well into every detail by now. I hope they leave something for us to contribute." Derrick replied. "Oh, I think we can find something to contribute Babe." James reached his arm around Derrick and drew him in close to his side reaching over with his free hand and taking Derrick's nearest hand into his, kissing Derrick's cheek. "I love you Babe." Derrick almost whispered. "And I love you Babe." James replied hugging Derrick close to him. Jared and Steve were watching the little brothers playing the games in the arcade and waiting for them to finish up their current game so they could head over and grab some lunch. Earlier, while souvenir shopping they had already decided on going to the Del Taco to grab some burritos, tacos, sodas and shakes for lunch. Dustin was sitting at the bar of one of the places Derrick had shared with him yesterday as gay friendly, the Little Bear's Den bar. His gaydar kicked off on this handsome hunk with a lumberjack appearance, that was seated several stools down, around the bend at the end of the bar. He appeared to be in his late thirties or early forties, just right for Dustin's likes. Jeez, it looked like he jumped right off the label of the Brawny Paper Towel wrapper, flannel shirt and all. They made eye contact several times. Taking the final swig off his bottle of beer, Dustin placed the empty back onto the bar and at that moment the bartender arrived in front of him and placed another bottle of beer down in front of him. "Courtesy of Trevor, the guy sitting at the end of the bar." The bartender smiled, nodded toward the hot lumberjack, and walked away to take care of another customer. Dustin looked down and caught Trevor's eye. He raised the bottle in the air and tilted it toward Trevor, smiled, and mouthed the words, "Thanks a lot." He then motioned for Trevor to come and sit down next to him if he would like. Trevor accepting the invitation got off his stool and slowly walked over and pulled out the stool next to Dustin. Before sitting down he extended his hand and spoke, "Hi. My name's Trev, and you're?" Dustin extended his hand and clasped Trev's in his and they shared a firm handshake. "I'm Dustin. Very pleased to meet you Trev. Thanks for the beer. Have a seat, please." Trevor started to sit down on the stool next to Dustin. "You're welcome. It's a pleasure to meet you also Dustin. Thanks, I think I will." Trevor sat down on the stool situating it very close to Dustin's so that their upper legs were touching. "Do you go by Dustin or Dusty? I haven't seen you in here before." Trevor inquired. "No one has called me Dusty in a long time, but you're welcome to if you'd like." Dustin comfortably replied. "This is my first time in here. I'm staying up here in the mountains with my family on a weekend retreat I guess you could say. This is my first time to visit the Big Bear area." "Well then, welcome Dusty. I hope you and your family will enjoy your stay here. I've lived here for several years now and really love it. How long are you going to be up here, where do you live?" Trevor was wasting no time trying to get all the information he could on this very handsome young man seated next to him. "I live at home with the rest of my family in Long Beach. We're staying here until tomorrow night. Then we drive back home. I wish it was going to be longer stay though. I want to see so much of the area and get to know it better. It's so great up here." "Well maybe if you'd like; I could be a tour guide for you while you are here, and show you some of our great points of interest. And we could get to know each other a little better at the same time?" "That would be terrific. I'd really like and appreciate that. You sure you wouldn't mind? I mean you must have other things that you'd like to be doing with your family or friends, I mean." Dustin was trying to get more information on this hunk for his self also. "Mind? I don't mind at all, it would really be my pleasure, believe me. I don't have any family here; they're all down below in the flatlands. And most of my friends here are all busy for the weekend. It would give me the opportunity to make a new good friend and get to know you much better. Who knows you may decide to come up the hill more often now that you have been here, and you'd know you had a friend up here looking forward to seeing you again." "Thanks Trev that's really nice of you to say that. You're quite a guy. Thanks for the offer of friendship and showing off the area to me. I can see that I will enjoy getting to know you much better also." "Okay, then let's finish off these brews and we can hit the road and start introducing you to God's mountain garden as I see and know it." Trevor smiled and took his hand that was closest to Dustin and placed it warmly and gently on Dustin's shoulder. They finished off their beers and Trevor pulled a wad of cash out of his pocket and left it on the bar as they got off their stools. "Thanks Mike for the beers, be seeing ya later. I'm gonna show Dusty the sights." "Thanks Trevor. You guys have a good time and play it careful. Come back again Dusty." Mike answered. "Thanks Mike, I will. See ya." Dustin saw the wink Mike gave to Trevor and smiled as he followed Trevor out of the bar. "You want to follow me in my car or leave yours here and come back for it?" Trevor asked. "Well, if you don't mind I should get mine back to the cabin in case they need it for something, and then ride with you if you don't mind." Dustin answered. Trevor quickly and politely responded, "I don't mind at all. Say does your family have things you need to be doing with them? In never thought to ask before." "No, it will be fine. We didn't have any structured plans for the weekend, they won't mind my absence. You wanna follow me to the cabin now and then you can see where I'm staying?" "Sure where is it located?" "It's in Sugarloaf. Do you now the area?" "Yes, I know that area quite well. I lived there for a couple of years before moving to Fawnskin. You lead and I'll follow. See ya there in a little bit." Trevor opened the door to the cab of his truck and slid in, closing the door behind him. He watched Dustin get into Jared's truck and start it. They waved and Dustin pulled out of the parking lot followed closely behind by Trevor in his truck. "Damn, this kid is so fine. He is hot to look at, has brains, is polite and a real turn on. I gotta get to know him better. He would be a real catch if things were to work out between him and me. Damn, Trev, slow down, I don't even know that much about him yet, or if he is even gay. Play it slow and steady Trev, ol' guy, and we'll just see what happens. But I have to get to know everything about him that I can. He already has me hooked dammit. I just don't know if he is interested in reeling me in. Or even if he is a straight or gay fisherman. But gaydar tells me there is a strong possibility, but then again it wouldn't be the first time I misread a blip on the ol' gaydar screen Trev ol' buddy. Take it slow and easy and just see what happens. Damn I wish I was more patient with things as the years move on, but I'm still just as bad as when I was a friggin' teenager when it comes to emotions." Trevor carried on this private debate within while all the time his eyes were glued to the truck in front of him that he was following, well, more like the driver of the truck. "Wow, what a hot hunk of a man." Dustin's mind was more on Trevor than it was on his driving skills, but he was paying attention to the road. "I can't believe what a nice guy he is and how interested he seems to be in me. Did I luck out or what? I hope this could lead to something maybe, shit, it's too early to be having thoughts like that, but damn, he is fine!" Dustin's mental conversation and argument with his self continued. "I could see myself living up here and being happy, especially with someone like that. Whoa, what am I saying the guy has just offered to show me the area is all, slow down buddy, let's not jump the gun. Let's just enjoy the moments and see where things go from there. That's the way to play it." Dustin was making all the right turns onto the right roads back to the cabin, he even surprised himself at how well he was navigating the course back after only having driven it once before, especially when his mind was focused on Trev. He pulled into the driveway and parked in the carport, turned off the ignition and got out. He saw Trevor turning into the driveway and waved. "I'll be right out, just need to take the keys inside and let them know where I'm off to. Be right out." Dustin called to Trevor and Trevor nodded in acknowledgement of his message. Dustin had no idea that Trevor was watching his hot ass in those tight Levis he was wearing. Dustin entered the cabin and told the family what was going on and that he would be back later and maybe have someone to introduce to them later when he got back. They told him to have a good time and be careful and they'd see him when he got back home. He waved back to them as he left out the front door and pulled it shut behind him. He looked up at Trevor's truck and saw a heart melting smile as he approached the passenger side door. He opened the door and hopped in and pulled the door shut. Fastening his seatbelt he said, "Okay Mister tour guide, I'm ready. Show me ALL of this wonderful world of yours." Dustin intended a deeper meaning to the words he said and hoped they would be understood. Understanding exactly what was meant, Trevor started the ignition to the truck and said, "Welcome to my world Good Lookin'. Here we go." He smiled, winked at Dustin, and backed out of the driveway. It was late in the evening when they heard tires crunching over the gravel in the driveway. The dads were getting a little antsy over Dustin not being home yet; the sound brought an inner sigh of relief to both doting dads. They were sitting and playing gin rummy and all were getting tired of losing hand after hand to Jorge. The kid was a real card whiz. The front door opened and in walked Dustin followed by Trevor. All eyes were on the entrance of the two new arrivals. "Guys, this is Trevor. He likes being called Trev though. Trev this is my family." They walked over to the game table and both dads and Jared and Steve stood up to shake hands with Trevor. "Trev, this is Dad, his name is James." "Hello, Trev. Nice to meet you." James extended his hand and shared a firm shake. "Pleasure to meet you James." "Trev, this is Pops, his name is Derrick." Derrick offered his hand and shook Trevor's hand. "Welcome to our home Trev, nice to meet you." Derrick greeted the newcomer. "Thank you Derrick, it's nice to make your acquaintance I'm sure." "This brute here is my older brother Jared." Dustin continued the intros, Jared extended his hand and shook Trev's. "Nice to meet you Trev. I'm sure you'll hear the worst about me from my younger bro, but don't believe anything he says. At least when it comes to me." Jared let go of Trev's hand. "Oh, I have heard all about you from him already. And to put you at ease it's all been good. Nice to meet you." Trev laughed. "Trev, this is my boyfriend, Steve." Jared introduced the love of his life. "Hi Steve, nice to meet you." Trevor smiled warmly as he shook Steve's hand. "Thanks. Nice to meet you too Trev." Steve shyly blushed releasing the grip on Trev's hand. "And these two terrific guys are my younger brothers. The Lil Dude there is Jorge and the nice one is Danny." Jorge poked Dustin in the ribs and giggled and took Trev's larger hand into his and gave a firm shake. Danny beamed up and offered his small hand with pride and shook Trev's hand too. "Jorge, Danny, it's a real pleasure to make your acquaintance, I've heard so much about you two today from your brother, he is very proud of both of you. Actually I have heard so much about all of you today from Dusty that I feel almost as if I know you already." Trevor was feeling very comfortable meeting all the family and receiving such a warm welcome. Derrick invited Trev to make himself at home. "Well let's all move over by the fireplace and have a seat and get to know you a little better Trev. Sit down and make yourself comfortable. Can we get you anything to drink? We just finished getting refills of hot chocolate, but we have coffee, tea, juice, beer, wine, hard stuff, water, you name it. I'm sure we could find something you'd like." "Actually, hot chocolate would be great for me. Thank you." Trev gratefully accepted the invitation. "I'll get it." Dustin got up and headed for the kitchen, but before leaving the sofa and Trev's side he turned to Trev and smiled and said, "Don't go anyplace, I'll be right back big guy." Promptly returning with two steaming mugs of hot chocolate, Dustin offered one to Trev who took it from his hand and thanked him. Dustin sat down right next to Trev, you couldn't have slid a sheet of paper between them he sat so close. And the positioning wasn't lost by anyone's observation. The warm subtle family inquisition of Trev began. A couple hours later, Derrick looked over and saw the two lil guys had fallen asleep, their heads leaning into each other. "I think it's time Dad and I get the young ones up to bed; they're already sound asleep. I hope you'll pardon our departure Trev. It's been really great getting to know you. I'm glad Dustin met you and has made such a great friend." Derrick rose from his chair and went to the sofa where the angels slept and reached around Jorge to lift him into his arms. James was right there lifting Danny into his. "Yes, Trev it has been great to meet you. Please don't be a stranger, and any time we up here please feel free to come on over, we would enjoy your company. And if you're ever down Long Beach way you're always welcome to our home anytime." "Wow, thanks Derrick and James. I have really enjoyed myself this evening and getting to know all of Dusty's family. You're all just great." Trev graciously acknowledged their hospitality. "I should be leaving now my self, it's late. I hope to see all of you again soon." He stood to leave. "Sit down and stay a while longer if you don't have to be home for some reason. Matter of fact, why don't you spend the night. It'll save you from making that drive home on those dark streets out there." Dustin reached up and tugged Trev back down next to his side. Trev laughed at the warm gesture of affection he was being shown. "Yes, Trev, why don't you stay the night and then you can join us and be our guest for breakfast first thing in the morning? We could use your advice on a place that serves a whopper sized breakfasts for these hungry appetites. We'd love to have you stay. That is if you don't already have other plans." Derrick offered the invitation already knowing how Dustin was feeling about it. "Well, no, I don't have other plans. Are you sure that it would be okay, I wouldn't want to impose on any family time you have planned." Trev was seriously considering the offer. "Nonsense, it wouldn't be any imposition at all. It's settled then, you're staying the night and we'll see you in the morning." James sealed the deal. "Good night all; see you in the morning." "Thanks Derrick and James for the great hospitality, see you in the morning then. Good night." Trev was overwhelmed at this family's generosity and hospitality. Dustin hugged Trev close to him and whispered something into his ear. Jared spoke up, "I need to hit the sack too guys, my eye lids feel like they have lead weights on them. It must be all this fresh mountain air." He arose to get up and Steve stood also, they exchanged good night pleasantries with Dustin and Trevor and left for their bedroom and closed the door behind them. Dustin turned to Trevor. "Thanks for staying the night big guy. You are a real hit with all the family. Are you ready for bed also?" "Thank you for inviting me to. Your family is a big hit with me too. Question is, am I a hit with you? And yes, I am ready for bed; I thought you'd never ask." Trev replied with a deep voiced chuckle. They stood and walked toward the bedroom, with Dustin laying his head on Trev's shoulder. "You're more than a hit with me big guy. If you don't know that by now, I guess I'll just have to do more to show you from now on." "I think I know already stud. But you can show me more as long as you let me show you more." They closed the bedroom door behind them. With all their clothes finally removed they crawled into the king sized bed, pulled up the top sheet and blanket over them and snuggled up tight to each other. A gentle kiss was exchanged and a simple but meaningful intimate request was made and granted. They fell asleep in one another's arms, at peace and content with the world and each other.
