I had a novel that I wanted to finish before the end of the school year, and that was in less than two weeks. I laid on the bed and read three chapters, turned out the lamp, and slid under the sheets. I lay there thinking about my conversation with Shane. What was he up to? Why was he being so secretive? Oh well, I have a few days to worry on that one. I shifted my pillows and soon, I drifted off to sleep. I woke up the next morning and stretched out spread eagled across the entire bed. It felt good, but I knew that I had to get up and be productive. I went to the kitchen wearing only my boxer briefs and poured myself a bowl of cereal. I ate sitting at the counter by myself. After I finished, I rinsed my bowl and put it in the dishwasher. I walked into the family room and lay down on the sofa, turned the TV on, and found a movie that I thought I might be interested in watching. The movie was a love story, and all I could think of was Phil. I let my imagination go and was soon visualizing what I would love to do with Phil, if he was here. I got up and walked back to my bedroom, located the lube, placed it by the bed, stripped, lay down, visualized me and Phil having sex, added lube to my cock and then, I began to beat off. My imagination was very vivid, and it heightened my sexual nerves. I felt my balls draw up, my cock became rock hard, my cum began to move up my shaft, and exploded all over my chest. I cleaned up, shaved, took my shower and dressed for the day. I decided to go to the grocery store and do the shopping for the week. I walked the aisles and made some choices that would be easy to fix next week as it was going to be hectic with finals on Thursday and Friday. I bought a few meats, some fresh bread and rolls from the bakery, a variety of fruits and vegetables, and a few cans of vegetables. I walked to the checkout and began to unload my basket. The cashiers were changing out, so I had to wait until they made the drawer change. My cashier was going to be Landon. He smiled at me and said "I bet that you really were relieved at the way things went yesterday." I said "Landon, I agreed to the bet, and I would have stuck to my side." He said "Well, I can tell you one thing, I would not have let it end like Blake did. Dakota has talked about what he saw, and well, I just want to see too." I was stunned in a way, but I had suspected that Landon was driven in this area. I looked at him and said "Landon, how would you feel, if the shoe was on the other foot?" He stopped, and said "What do you mean?" I said "How would you feel if I wanted to see you like you want to see me?" He said "Well, actually you have already seen me to a degree, so actually I am now more inclined to think I should get a peek." I placed the last item on the conveyer belt, and said "Well, I don't see that in your future." He smiled and said "Mr. B., don't underestimate me." I paid for the groceries and walked out, loaded them in the Denali, and headed home. As I was driving, I started thinking about what he said 'Don't underestimate me' - what could he be thinking? I arrived home as the boys were coming from Jay's. I pulled into the garage and had them help me take the groceries into the house. I stored everything that I had purchased and turned to talk to the boys. We talked about the end of the school year and their summer plans. Jay's text notification sounded, he looked at it and told us that he had to jet. Rob looked at his phone and said that he too, had to go meet his parents as they were going out to shop for back to school clothes. I was left with Ryan and Myles. I looked at Myles and said "Do you have a swimsuit that fits you this year?" He said "The one I have is a little tight, and I probably do need to get mom to buy me a new one." I called Michelle and told her that I was taking the boys shopping for swimsuits. I told her that Myles said his was tight. She said buy him one, and I will settle up with you tonight. While I had her on the phone, I mentioned Phil's Dad and the fact that Myles wanted to go to the service. She asked me if that was going to be a problem for me, and I told her that it would not be a problem. I mentioned Mr. Hearst's desire for colorful attire. I told her that I was going to do some shopping for me and Ryan. She said include Myles in that shopping too. I told her that I was thinking of buttoned-down shirts, but if I could not find colorful shirts that I would then look at the polos because I knew they would be very colorful. She said "Doug, what would I ever do without you to look after Myles." I said "Michelle, he has always been with us, and he is just like family, in fact when he is not with us, I feel like part of the family is missing." We got in the Denali and drove to the mall. We shopped at several stores. I looked at shirts in both the men's and the young men's departments. I looked at a variety of shirts, but could not find a colorful dress shirt that met my requirements. I looked at the polos, and I found a large selection of bright colors. I chose a shade of purple for me, Ryan chose a lime green and Myles chose a lemon yellow. We then looked at swimsuits. I told them to find two that they wanted, and they spent a lot of time examining them in several stores. They finally made their selection of one print and one solid color. I was very satisfied with their selections. We finished at the mall, met Michelle at Burger King, and had a quick supper. Michelle was very pleased with Myles' choices in swimsuit and his colorful polo. Ryan shared his choices, as well. We talked for a few minutes about the next couple of weeks. Michelle told me that with the upcoming Memorial Day Holiday, she would have to be at work nonstop and after that, she would have three days off. She asked if Myles could stay with us, and I sat there and pondered it. She said "Doug, you know and I know that this is just a formality as you would take him in a heartbeat." I smiled and said "Send him some clothes, as I don't know what we will be doing yet." Ryan and I headed home while Myles and Michelle headed to their house. Ryan modeled his swimsuits for me, and they did look good on him. A little baggy, but that seems to be the style not like when I was growing up and everything was a tight fit to the point that you were showcasing your goods. We talked about the upcoming week, and I told Ryan that I would be home late as I had to visit several of Phil's work sites to check on the project's status. He asked if I could come by and pick him up. I told him that I couldn't do it until Friday afternoon, as I had to use daylight to my advantage, and I could only take him on Friday and besides he had studying to do for the finals. He said he understood. We said our goodnights and he gave me my hug before he went to his room. I got up, headed to my room, and called Phil. I asked about his Dad, and he said that things were about the same except his Dad wanted to spend some additional time with him tomorrow. He also, told me that his Dad appreciated my message and had one for me that he wants to deliver on the phone tomorrow night. I told Phil that I was planning on visiting the work sites after work this week. He thought that would be a good idea and reminded me that if I had questions or concerns, I should call him. We talked on for a few more minutes with me ending the call after I told him that I loved and missed him. He told me that he missed me too, but was so thankful that he could spend this time with his Dad. We said our goodbyes and I clicked off. I turned my lamp off and settled in the bed. I woke up feeling very stressed knowing that I had only three days to review science content for the finals which would be held on Thursday and Friday. This meant that the tests would be given before a holiday weekend, and I had to keep them focused while reviewing for and taking the test. I showered and dressed while thinking of how I could effectively pull this task off without a lot of lecturing, or making additional PowerPoint presentations. I finally decided to do a game show format similar to Jeopardy on Monday by giving the definition and having teams give me the correct vocabulary word in written question format. I walked out, and fixed Ryan and myself a bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar. We ate our breakfast and headed our separate ways. I reminded Ryan that I expected him and the other boys to use the time in the afternoon to study for the upcoming finals. He promised me that that was their plans and that everyone would be around the table as soon as they got home. I arrived at school, walked to the office, and was congratulated by Mr. Richards for a First Place in the Departmental Race and for second place in the individual faculty member race. I thanked him and told him that I thought the race had been extremely effective in building a team spirit around the school. He agreed and told me that he was thinking about doing it again next year. I continued walking to my classroom, opened the door, and began to arrange my room to meet the game show strategy that I had planned. I finished arranging the room just before the bell sounded. The students began to enter the classroom, and they were bewildered to say the least about the room arrangement. I told the students to stand around the outer edge of the room and then, I assigned them to sit in specific seats. I explained the game and we started. I made adjustments to the game, as needed, throughout the day. The students seemed to enjoy something different, and it built on the team spirit. I watched the members of the posse as they entered the classroom during their assigned class periods and then, again at lunch. Blake was very confident, but Landon was still pushing the issue with him. Tanner and Dakota were their normal selves and did not participate in the discussion with Blake and Landon. I nodded at Blake and asked about his injuries. He told me that they were still a little painful, but his ego and self esteem took a beating when he fell. I told him that it would get better and made sure that he knew that I agreed with his choice. He smiled and said "Mr. Brunson, I have not regretted my decision. I kept thinking it would be somebody else running the race, and I would not be called to do it. I almost fainted when you said you wanted to race me." I smiled and said "Well, it is over, and we all survived. It shows that you can make decisions based on your character and will take a stand about what is right and wrong." I finished my last class, gathered my stuff, and headed to the Denali. I began to visit Phil's job sites. I got out, walked the sites, took pictures, and made notes of what had been accomplished and what was yet to be finished. I talked to one of the foremen, and he was a little cocky with me, as he did not know who I was. I told him what I was doing and that I was authorized to talk to him. He was still a little hesitant until I said "I can call Phil, if needed." He said "No sir, I don't want to bother him." I said "That is a good call on your part." We walked the site, and I pointed out a number of concerns that I had and told him that I would check the site again Thursday afternoon at which time I would expect the items to be corrected and completed. He assured me that my timeline would be met. As I was heading out of the last work site, Phil called and said that his Dad wanted to talk to me. He put his Dad on the phone and he was in good spirits. He thanked me again for coming to be with Phil. He said "Doug, my time is drawing near, and I appreciate you helping Phil with his business so that he can be here with me. I wanted to tell you that I wish things were different, and I could be here to see you and Phil happy and together." I said "Mr. Hearst, trust me, we are happy and together even when we are in different states." He said "Good to hear, Doug. That makes me feel that you will take care of my boy." I said "I promise you that I will not hurt him." He thanked me again and gave the phone back to Phil. We talked about the projects and he was happy with my take on things and especially the way that I had handled the foreman. We finished our conversation and said our goodbyes. I called Ryan, and he told me that it would just be me and him tonight as the others had just finished the study session and had gone home. I told him to be in the driveway, and I would swing by and pick him up so that we could go out to eat. We headed to Golden Corral and enjoyed a good meal. Actually, I figured that this was a good choice as we could make choices which would suit our individual tastes. We finished with a small compote of chocolate pie. We returned home and headed to our rooms. I stripped down and crawled into my bed. I dropped off to sleep rather quickly as I had been very busy that day with my classes and visiting the job sites. I had a restless night as Landon appeared in one of my dreams. I dreamed that Landon had tricked me into a race with him and this time, he won. I had to strip for him, but he did not keep his hands off of me. He felt my chest and pulled on my nips then, he let his hand fall down to my cock. He took my cock in his hand and began to jerk it. He reached down with his other hand and felt my balls. My cock hardened and he began to jack me off using my pre- cum as lube. I could feel my cum begin to make its way up my shaft. I woke up in a panic. I got up and paced the house. I could not believe how realistic that dream had seemed to me. I finally calmed down and went back to bed. I did not sleep any more that night. Tuesday morning finally arrived, and I got out of bed. I did my usual morning rituals and went to get Ryan up. We met in the kitchen and had breakfast. We gathered our stuff and headed to school. Tuesday and Wednesday were filled again with various strategies to review content with the students. The classes went by fast and the students seemed to really appreciate my approach to the reviews. I felt extremely uncomfortable when Landon entered the room on both days. I did not ignore him, but I did not go out of my way to be overly friendly. I finished my school work each day and, as soon as, I had my materials organized for the next day, I left and began to tour the work sites. I saw a lot of progress on several sites and took pictures to send to Phil. I called and talked to Phil each night after I sent him pictures from each site. As I finished talking to Phil on Wednesday night, my phone rang and it was Shane. He asked about Phil's dad, and about the boys. He told me again that he, Matt, and Jared would be home for the Memorial Day Weekend. He finally said "Pops, this will be our weekend, our weekend to even the score that the boys did on us last year." It finally hit me as to what he was talking about. I had to smile to a degree and I said "Now you understand that you cannot hurt them, or take things to an adult level, right?" He said "Pops, we know our limits, but they so deserve to be taken down, and I want it this weekend when mom and dad are out of town, and they won't suspect a thing until it is too late." I said "As far as I know, they will spend the weekend here as your mom and dad and Cole and Christina will be out of town. The only thing that could make a major change would be if Phil's Dad health takes a bad turn." He said that he understood and would fill me in on stuff Friday night. We hung up, and I slipped under the sheets and went to sleep. I awoke the next morning, lay there and thought about what I had to face for the next two days. I finally adopted the philosophy that the sooner I started; the sooner it would be behind me. I rolled out of bed, headed to the bathroom and took care of my morning rituals. I stepped back into my bedroom and dressed for the day. As I walked toward the kitchen, I said a short prayer that all of my students, as well as the boys, would do well on their tests. I walked into the kitchen and began to cook a nutritious breakfast of scrambled eggs, toast, bacon, and hash browns. I walked down to Ryan's room and knocked on his door. He opened it, was dressed for the day, and walked back to the kitchen with me. We talked about the two days of finals, and he said that he thought he was ready for them. I encouraged him, and told him that I knew he was up to the task. I reminded him that I would leave school at the end of the day and visit the worksites. He reminded me that I had promised him that he could visit some of the sites on Friday afternoon. I told him that I remembered and then, I told him that I would call him on my way home and that I would swing by and we would go out to eat as I had to grade finals later tonight. He smiled and said "A teacher's work is never done, huh Dad?" I smiled and said "A teacher's son should know." We finished eating, cleaned the kitchen, gathered our stuff and walked out of the house and headed to school. I arrived at school and parked in my usual parking place. I walked in with a few of the other teachers and we were commenting on what a short year it had seemed to be. Everyone was concerned with the schedule for finals as the periods would be lengthened and we would operate on a 1-3-5 period day today and a 2-4-6 period day tomorrow. I said "As much as these kids are tested, they will survive and take it in stride unlike us old birds." That earned a few other comments from the others and a good round of laughter as we were approaching the front door to the office. We entered the office, grabbed our mail and other stuff, and continued walking and talking as we made our way to our classrooms. We broke up and headed to our individual classrooms and made certain that we had the testing protocols and seating assignments in place as prescribed by our assessment guru. The bell sounded, and the students began to enter the classroom. I stepped to the front of the classroom and explained the testing procedures, reminding the students that there was to be no talking, nor movement around the classroom. I began to pass out the test and then, I walked the classroom as the students took the test. I was very relieved to see that most of the students took their time on the test, and it made me feel good. I ended my day, grabbed the day's tests and headed out to visit Phil's worksites. I visited the worksite with the foreman that I had dealt with earlier in the week. He had everything that I had pegged as needing attention attended to, plus he had pushed on with a few other areas. He really showed me that he could handle his work crew and his project looked almost complete. I made a few more visits to other sites and everything seemed to be on target. I finished my tour, called Ryan, picked him up, and we went out to eat. We returned to the house. Ryan went to his room to do some further study for his Algebra I final while I walked down to my office and began to grade the day's finals. I was impressed as the lowest score was a 76 and there were only three of those. I entered the scores in the online grade-book and called it a night. I checked on Ryan as I walked to my bedroom. He was having a few issues, but felt that with about another hour he would be okay, so I went to my bedroom. I took a hot shower and rolled in under the sheets. I called and talked to Phil. I told him that the Foreman had his project under control and was actually ahead of my projected schedule for him. Phil assured me that the Foreman was capable of performing under pressure. He asked me about my plans for the weekend, and I shared with him that Shane, Matt, and Jared would be home and they had plans for the boys. He laughed and said "Oh how I wish I could be there, I would so love to get some revenge on Jay." I laughed and said "Oh I understand, but Phil, Jay has taken your Dad's condition pretty serious and always asks about him." Phil said "I appreciate that but you have to admit that he has been a pain." I said "Oh I know better than anyone that he can be a pain, but that is just Jay being Jay." We chatted on for a while and he finally said "Doug, I think that Dad is about to take a turn for the worse as his blood numbers are low and he just seems to be in low spirits." I told him that I hoped that he was wrong, but we have to place our confidence in the doctors and medical personnel at the hospital plus we have to pray that he will not suffer. We talked about how the various family members were handling themselves, and his Dad's deteriorating condition before we hung up. I turned off the lamp, adjusted my pillows, and went to sleep. I woke up Friday morning and hurried through my morning rituals including getting Ryan up and making our breakfast. We each headed our separate ways with a reminder that I was to take him on some of the visits to the job sites this afternoon. I walked into the office, grabbed my stuff and walked on down to my classroom. I placed the graded finals in my filing cabinet and locked it. I made a few minor adjustments to the seating arrangement and then, I was ready for the day. I passed out the finals and the students began to work on them. The students seemed to be as thorough today as they were yesterday by taking their time and checking their work. The bell sounded at the end of each period and I took up the finals. At the end of the school day, I gathered my stuff, the two stacks of finals, and headed to the parking lot. I called Ryan and told him that I was on my way and to be ready. He said he would be waiting in front of the house. I drove home, and he was waiting for me just like he promised. He got in, and we began to make a tour of five projects. He was interested in seeing the variety of work that Phil's company did, and he began to get an idea as to what might be involved in the summer work. We finished our tour and headed to Olive Garden. We had a great meal with just the two of us talking about the end of the school year, the intensity of the finals, possibly working for Phil, traveling to Phil's father's service, our summer plans, our birthdays, and maybe a trip to the mountains for a week. As much as I love the boys, it was nice to have my boy just by myself. We finished our dinner and headed home. We drove into the garage and parked. As we were getting out, the other three showed up and we all went into the house. Rob had found a movie that they all wanted to go see tonight so, they were negotiating with me to take and pick them up at the mall. Being that I had to grade the finals, and I needed some peace and quiet; I agreed. Everybody loaded up, and I dropped them off at the mall with the understanding that they were to meet me in this very spot at ten thirty. I returned home and began to grade the finals. I had the test key memorized, and it was easy to grade the test papers. I entered the scores online and did a couple of data graphs for the school's administration. I finished all of my work around ten o'clock so it was now time to go get the boys. I walked out to the garage, opened the garage door and was about to get in the Denali when a voice spoke to me from the dark. I jumped of course, but it was Shane. He wanted to know where I was going and when I would be back. I gave him the answers to his questions, and he said that he and the other guys would be over later so that they could spend some quality time with the boys. I looked at him and he said "Pops, I promise, we are not going to hurt them, but tonight, we are going to tire their asses out!" I got in the Denali, backed out and headed to pick up the boys after lowering the garage door. I pulled into the mall parking lot at ten twenty-five and began to scan the sidewalk outside the mall entrance. I saw my flock at ten thirty, so I pulled up in front of them and they quickly loaded up. We made a stop at Sonic for a milkshake and then, we headed home. We were no sooner in the house and seated in the family room when the front door bell rang. Ryan went to the door and opened it to find Shane, Matt and Jared there. He welcomed them into the house and told them that we were all in the family room. They joined us, and we sat around and caught up with one another. I could tell that Jay was not happy with having Shane over, but he did not go out of his way to make a fuss. Shane asked the boys if they wanted to go down to the park and shoot some baskets. They did, so Shane asked Matt and Jared to take them down and said that he would join them in about five minutes. They left the house and Shane went next door. He returned with two paper-bags. He said "Look in here, I found this in our attic. These are the restraints that they used on us a year ago; I am going to let them wear them tomorrow." I said "Where are you going to store them?" He said "I am thinking about in the living room as they never go in there, and it will be so convenient to when we put them in these restraints tomorrow morning." I shook my head and said "Shane, I don't know that I want to be too involved, but I do want to let them know how it felt." He smiled and said "Well, I am going to go store these, and then, head down to the park so I can referee the game." Shane stored the two bags in the foyer closet rather than in the living room. Then he left to join the others at the park. I went to my bedroom, stripped down to my boxer briefs, and got under the sheets. I lay there and thought of Phil. I really longed to be with him and to have his arms around me. I thought about jacking off, but decided to hold off. I lay there and thought about a number of things and finally, I dozed off. I was awakened when then front door slammed and there were excited voices in the house. I lay there for about five minutes and the noise continued. I got up and walked into the family room wearing only my boxer briefs. Everybody was talking at once and didn't even seem to notice me. I cleared my throat rather loudly and it became deathly quiet. "Have you guys lost your minds?" I asked. They were still frozen. I continued "Can anyone tell me what time it is?" Still no response, so I said "It is well past one thirty in the morning and every one of you stink. Go take a shower, or head into the backyard, and I will hose you down, but this room stinks. Drop your dirty and stinky clothes in the laundry room and I will start the washing machine in a few minutes." Finally, they began to act as if what I had said had sunk in. Myles lifted his arm pit to his nose and made a sour face. I paired them off and headed them to Ryan's bathroom. I sent Jay and Ryan first, and when they finished; I sent Myles and Rob. Jay and Ryan returned to the family room wearing just a towel, and carrying their dirty clothes. In a few minutes the same scene was repeated with Myles and Rob. Rob wanted to know what they were going to wear as they had left their overnight bags at Jay's while they waited for me and Ryan to return home from eating and had forgotten to grab them when they came over. I looked at the four of them and said "Well its kinda like this, you are not leaving the house at this hour to go get the bags, so I guess you will have to sleep in the raw." They looked at me like I was crazy. I said "Boys, you have grown up around each other, and you have seen each other's goods, but if you are so scared of someone seeing your stuff use a towel." Shane, Matt, and Jared had sat on the floor during this entire exchange and finally Shane said "Well, we will see you guys tomorrow after lunch. Do not call us, nor come to the house as we plan on sleeping late." I saw a smile creep across Jay's face, but he didn't say a word. The guys began to leave, and the boys started to set up the family room for their sleep over. I walked behind the guys and locked the front door after Shane leaned back and told me that he would text me early and that we would begin our day's activities at that time. I dumped their clothes in the washing machine and started it then, I returned to the family room, lit a couple of candles, turned out the lights, and walked back to my bedroom. I lay down, but could not get the smell of sweat and stink out of my nose. I got up and took a hot shower, then I returned to the bed. I dropped my towel, pulled the sheets back, and lay down. I pulled Phil's pillows down the bed as if they were him, and I snuggled up with one leg over them and pulled them tightly to my groin. Something activated, and I began to hump the pillows. I continued as I felt an urgent need to cum. I rolled over on my back and coated my chest with cum. I lay there for a few minutes and rested. After a while, I got up, walked to the bathroom and cleaned-up, then back to the bed and finally I dropped off to sleep. I was awakened Saturday morning about six a.m. with a text from Shane telling me to raise the garage door. I got up, put on some stretch shorts and a t-shirt. I brushed my teeth quickly then, I walked quietly through the house to the garage door and opened it. The guys were there, and they had devious smiles on their faces. They asked if the boys were still out and I said "I don't think they have moved since they finally settled last night." Shane said "That was the plan, we played basketball for a long time, then I challenged them to run 2 miles before we came back to the house, and you topped it off by having them take showers which I agree, we all needed." I said "Guys, I like to have never got that funky smell out of my nose, I had another shower and put out candles." Shane said "Well, we must get busy as they will be easy to handle if they are still asleep." We walked quietly into the house and Shane grabbed the two bags. He handed each one of us a set of handcuffs and leg restraints. I looked at what he handed me and then I looked at Ryan. I could not believe that I was going to restrain my baby. It almost broke my heart that I was going to be involved in doing this to my child, but I remembered that he didn't seem to have any issues with what they did to me last year, so I manned up and moved toward him. I picked up his left hand and put it in the handcuffs then, I put his right hand in and snapped them shut. I moved down to his feet and when I picked his right foot up he kicked, he has always been ticklish, but I got both of his feet in the restraints and I was finished. I looked around the room and the guys were finishing up with their victims. All of the boys were either covered with a towel or their blankets. We quietly left the room and reassembled in the garage. End of Chapter 42 - My Son and His Friends Well I know some of you thought this chapter would never come out but it finally came together. The next chapter will be easier to write as I hit a glass wall, meaning that I could see what was to happen next but trying to get from one place to another was impossible. Finally, things came together. So, how do you think things will go when the boys wake up? What will the guys do to the boys? What will Jay do later? If you have some ideas, please share, I have plenty but it is always nice to see if we are thinking along the same lines. Thank you for reading my story and for writing to share your thoughts and concerns. I hope you will have a great weekend. Jay
