Rodie's Love: Chapter 11 By Snwdemon "John will you follow us to my house, but I do have to stop and drop off this prescription for Rodie, but that should only take a moment." Jim explained to John after he put Rodie in the back seat and buckled him in. Jim then had Marco start the engine so the AC would cool it down. "That's fine Jim, I need to go to the pharmacy myself for Mark. I usually use the Rite-Aid pharmacy in Nags Head," John told him. "That is on the way home, so I will use that one also," Jim answered him. He then got into the backseat where Rodie dozed, and waited until he saw John backing out before telling Marco to go on ahead to the pharmacy. John followed Marco to the pharmacy and he walked with Jim inside to put in the prescriptions letting them know they would be back later to pick them up. John then followed them to Jim's house parking behind their car in the turn around drive. Jim carried Rodie inside and into the room Cathy had cleaned for Rodie. He laid him on the bed, then went, and got him a pair of the loose cotton shorts and a T-shirt. Jim then had Marco help him change Rodie, put him in the bed before going to get him his medicine, and a glass of sweet tea. He returned and gently shook Rodie awake making him take all of his medicine. Then he brought Rodie his stuffed dog 'Boo'. "Hey bright eyes, I want you to talk to you about something ok," Jim said to him as he kissed his forehead after sitting down beside him. He saw that Rodie was alert although still a little bleary eyed. "I know you would rather be in my room, but not until Eric and Mark leave. What I want you to talk to you about is this. Mark and Eric really like you very much, and I know you like them. I know your friends Chris and Andy turned against you once they discovered your talents. However, I think if you are honest with Mark and Eric now as your friendship is just starting that they will not react like Chris and Andy did. This way they will not dislike you because of your talents. Are you willing to do that Rodie?" "Yeah, I was thinking about that Jim. I think you are right too, and it will be easier for me since I do not have to keep it a secret. I need to apologize to Mr. Winters also for how I reacted to him," Rodie said with a yawn to Jim before he reached up and hugged Jim. "Ok my love, I will go get them and bring them back, or would you like to do it out in the living room? After that you can rest ok," Jim asked him as he stood up. "I think it would be better if I tell them out there Jim," Rodie answered him. He smiled at Rodie again and opened the door when he heard a whimper. Brutis ran into the room, jumped up on the bed, and started licking Rodie on the cheek as he petted him. Jim went out to the living room where John and the boys were waiting. He sat down in his recliner and asked Marco to join them before speaking to them. "Alright everyone, Rodie is settled and awake, but I will be bringing him out here in a moment. I just want to ask for a moment of your time first is all. I do not know if you know about this but Rodie is a very special boy. He has some very special abilities that have caused him to lose his closest friends in the past. He will tell you about them himself, but I just want you to know that while he has these abilities, he is still the same person you know and liked when you met him. Right now, he really needs friends like you, so if you are uncomfortable with what he tells you, just be honest with him and you will see that everything will be fine between you, ok. Do you two understand what I am trying to say?" Jim asked John, Mark, and Eric. "Is this about how he knows what someone is thinking and feeling Mr. Chavez?" Eric asked him innocently. "You know about that Eric? And please call me Jim ok?" Jim asked him. "Ok Jim, yeah I know about that already, and Mark knows too," Eric answered him, surprising Jim as well as his father. "Alright, I will bring him out so you can talk to him," Jim said as he stood up. He then went back into Rodie's room, picked him up, and carried him back out into the living room. Rodie looked scared as Jim sat in his recliner with Rodie in his lap. "Rodie, Eric says that him and Mark know already what you can do. Did you tell them?" Jim asked him in a quiet voice. "They do? I didn't tell them cause I was afraid they would hate me like Chris and Andy did," Rodie answered in a quiet voice while looking at them, then back to Jim. "We sort of figured it out by ourselves Rodie. When you got excited showing us your kites, you kept completing our questions and answering them even before we asked them." Mark explained to him. "Once we got home, we thought about it and realized that you could somehow hear what we were thinking." "Oh, well I forget sometimes when I get excited around people I like, and I really like both of you and wanted you to like me. Most kids hate me when they know that I can hear what they are thinking. I try not to do it to my friends though unless they give me permission," Rodie explained with a sad face while staring at the floor. Eric came over, stood next to Rodie, and took his hand. "You do not need to worry about us not liking you cause we think what you can do is cool," Eric said seriously. "See, I told you to just be honest with Eric and Mark, if someone wants to be your friend, then they will like everything about you, not just some things." Jim told him softly as he looked into his eyes. Rodie looked a little confused when Jim said that so he looked back at Eric. Eric smiled and looked towards Mark, so Rodie did the same silently probing for his reaction. Jim saw Rodie's eyes widen and tears started to spill down his face as he continued to look at Mark. "It does not matter to you either? I was afraid to say anything cause I thought you'd hate me," Rodie told them as the tears ran down his face. Jim hugged him close and gently wiped the tears from his face. "I was thinking the same thing Rodie, only it was worse for me because I really liked you the first time I saw you. I think you are beautiful," Mark said quietly as he clasp his hands together and stared at his feet. "Eric leaned over and whispered loudly to him, "he is trying to say that he wants to kiss you on the mouth." Then Eric giggled while Mark glared at him who then returned to his seat. Rodie's brow creased a little as he stared intently at Mark, who looked back down at his feet while wringing his hands nervously. "You are like Jim and Marco, and you thought that I would not like you cause you like me like that. I like you like that also Mark, and that is why your dad scared me so much when he touched me. I was only thinking about getting to know you when he caught me off guard and all of his thoughts flooded into my head. I did not mean to react like that John, but...mm...my daddy hurt me really bad. And your thoughts made me think of that," Rodie said slowly as his tears came faster. He finally turned and buried his face into Jim's shoulder while Jim whispered softly into his ear trying to calm him down. Jim looked over to John and saw his confused expression so he motioned him to come closer to him. John got up and moved closer on the large sofa to Jim and Rodie, and Jim leaned over and whispered to him. "What he meant John was that he could sense your attraction to him, his father was the one who beat and raped Rodie, I am sorry I lied to you, but at the time I did not know this." Jim explained to him in a hushed voice. Jim could see the understanding come across John's face. "I understand now, and I can see how that caused his reaction too. Rodie, please believe me when I say this, while I may think these things, I could never actually do something like that. I like young men and boys, but I like women too. I am sorry that it was my thoughts that caused you to remember those awful things," John said solemnly to Rodie as he moved over and knelt beside him. Rodie lifted his head and looked at John, his eyes searching for a moment. Rodie then leaned over and hugged John showing him that all was forgiven. John hugged him gently and spoke to him softly. "I can not imagine what your father put you through Rodie, but I would never do such a thing to any child. Especially to someone as beautiful and caring as you are. You can see that just by looking at my sons, who have done nothing but fret since they saw you last. Therefore, why don't you go rest while they keep you company. If it is all right with Jim, they can stay the weekend with you also." "Really John? Please Jim can they stay. You too John, you have to stay too." Rodie said to him while giving Jim a pleading puppy dog look. "All of you are welcome to stay, we would enjoy the company John. You young man, you will promise me to behave yourself and not try and over do it. Do you understand me?" Jim said seriously to him. "I promise Jim, and I have to cause I would really hate to scare the pee out of Mark and Eric by zonking out and falling over on them." Rodie said with a giggle making them all laugh. Rodie gave John another hug before leaning against Jim's chest as Eric and Mark came over and hugged him. Jim was about to stand up with Rodie when Brutis came bounding onto the room. He quickly came over and started licking Eric's face and then Mark's before running around the table a few times in the living room. "That hairy beast is Brutis," Jim told them. Brutis was now dividing his time between licking Eric and Mark as they knelt on the floor and petted him. His tightly curly tail was wiggling in glee from the attention. Jim then asked John to help him stand up. Once he was steady on his feet with Rodie in his arms, Jim motioned for Mark and Eric to follow and he carried Rodie back to his room with Brutis following them. He put him back in the bed and told him once more to behave himself. Rodie kissed him on the lips and rubbed his nose against his before telling him he would be good. Jim then left the three boys alone, and went back out to the living room where he sat in his recliner. Marco excused himself and left towards the kitchen. John looked at Jim and smiled before speaking to him. "I guess that Rodie felt the same thing that Mark felt the first time he was around you Jim. He has finally come to terms that he is gay," John told him. "Probably similar John, I have always liked to watch boys, and Mark is about the age I prefer, but that is about all. It must be hard for Mark right now; I know how hard it was for me to accept the fact that I was gay. However, I was not alone. I had Eddie to confide in, we both realized we were gay and used each other for support. I am truly glad we met because now Rodie has three new friends he can confide in. He needs boys his own age as his friends, ones who accept him as he is. I can see that Eric will probably be his best friend, and they can grow up together. Rodie and Mark will be able to use each other for support like Eddie and I did as their relationship grows. I know that Rodie has not openly stated it yet, but he considers himself gay already and he likes Mark in that respect. He also has you now to confide in on things that I cannot answer because I have not been a parent before now. Over the last year, since his father assaulted him, Rodie has become totally isolated. Even his two closest friends turned against him until all he had was his mother. However, Rodie was trying to protect her from learning what his father had done to him. Therefore, he could not even rely on her for comfort, and it almost destroyed him. That is one of the main reasons I have them moving in here, there are too many painful memories in that house for him," Jim explained to John. "His own father did that to him? How could he do that to his own child, and one who has such special gifts at that." John wondered in confusion. "From what I understand John, it started out as his way to get back at Cathy, but somehow it changed during the first stages of the assault. He discovered that it turned him on the more Rodie screamed and tried to resist, and that just made him worse until he was an enraged beast. I was surprised that Rodie managed to survive the beatings and multiple rapes. Paul, Rodie's father, he almost killed him. That is why he left, because he knew he could not control himself around Rodie. However, Rodie not only survived, but he was also able to hide the truth from his mother up until 3 weeks ago. "So is she going to press charges against him? He should be punished for what he did to Rodie. As for Mark, he told me last year that he believed he was gay. He tried to deny it at first, but he finally accepted it. However, he was smitten by you when we met, but he has really developed a crush for Rodie. When he saw that no one was staying at the beach house he actually cried because he thought Rodie and you had went home." John explained to Jim. "Rodie will be flattered I sure, as I am, and I think he will return Mark's affections," Jim told John as he smiled. He could see John's expression of confusion so he decided to elaborate with him. "Look, we are both admitted boylovers John, am I not correct?" "Well, yes you are, and I can see how Rodie feels about you. However, if Rodie is involved already then I guess Mark is going to be hurt when Rodie rebuffs him." John explained showing his concern for his son. "I do not think that will happen John. Rodie loves me, and I am grateful for that love. However, you and I both know that when a boy is young that they are just developing their ability to love. I am not concerned if Rodie decides to love Mark as well as myself. I accept him as he is, and what love he gives me. Nor will I be jealous if he decides to love Mark because I know he will always love me. Rodie is going to grow up, and I am not the ideal choice for a partner to him, while Mark is. When Rodie is 30, Mark will be 34, while I will be going on 61. You can see the physical condition I am in now, can you imagine how I will be in twenty years? So Mark is the best partner for him, I have always known that. and I have not ever considered that he would love only me. I love Eddie, and will always love him. However, our love for each other has not changed or diminished over the years. Marco is his partner now, and they love each other, yet he still loves me as much as he did when we were twelve." Jim explained honestly to John. "I hope that is the case, because I do worry as a father. I will be honest with you; I am in a relationship right now with a young man. He just turned 16 in February. I know that I am not the only person he loves, he has a boyfriend his own age also, and I accept that. As for Mark and Rodie, we will just deal with how things develop because Mark has told me that he is attracted to both of you equally. Right now I think our only priority is to get Rodie well again," John explained to Jim before standing up and stretching. "You are correct about that, would you care for something cold to drink, or even a cocktail or a beer? Jim told him as he stood with a grunt of pain. "Some tea please, sweetened if you have any," John answered sitting down again. Jim started towards the kitchen door and was halfway there when Eric and Mark came out into the living room. "Is everything all right with Rodie?" Jim asked them. Just then, Marco came out of the kitchen with a tray of glasses and a pitcher of iced tea. "Yes sir, Rodie just fell asleep so we came out here so we would not wake him." Mark said seriously to Jim. Jim pulled first Mark and then Eric into a hug. Eric followed Marco into the living room while Jim motioned for Mark to stay with him. He left his arm around Mark's shoulder as he waited until the others were in the living room. "Just Jim, sir makes me feel absolutely ancient Mark. I just want to thank you for what both of you have done for Rodie. Rodie really likes you very much, and he needs friends right now who do not judge him." Jim told Mark softly. Mark look into his eyes then looked down at his feet. "I do like Rodie very much, but he told us how he loves you though," Mark said while still looking at his feet. Jim reached over and gently turned his face up until he could see him. "Just because he loves me does not mean he would not want you as his boyfriend. Rodie needs me after his father betrayed his love and trust, but he also needs you because I can not teach him how to love someone else. That is your job. When I was your age I loved Eddie, but we realized that we needed other people to love also. So you see, Rodie needs you just as much as you need him. All I ask of you is that you do not hurt him if you decide that you do not want to be with him anymore. You can still be friends if that does happen just like me and Eddie are ok," Jim said softly reassuring Mark the best that he could. "You really think so Jim? I will not hurt him, I promise. I could never do that to him, I would rather die first than hurt Rodie," Mark said emphatically. "Good, now let's go join the others ok," Jim said with a smile. He leaned over, kissed Mark's forehead, and gave him another squeeze before walking back to the others. Mark was smiling when he went over to his father and hugged him. John smiled at Jim and gave a barely noticeable nod to him. Marco poured tea for everyone as they all sat down again. "Hey dad, can we go swimming, please?" Eric asked him. "Sure you can, if Jim and Marco don't mind," John answered him. "I don't mind, I just want you to be careful is all, an no running because you could slip and get hurt." Jim told them as both boys nodded in agreement. Mark's face fell after a moment of thought though. "We can't go Eric, we don't have our swim suits," he said sadly. "DUH! It is indoors, and its just us so we do not need one. Who is going to see us naked except them, and they don't care, do you Jim." Eric said with a giggle. "I do not mind, but it is up to your father. What makes you think I do not care? You never know, I might want to play connect the dots with the freckles on your butt!" Jim told him with a silly grin on his face making Eric blush prettily. "Seriously, if you two want to go swimming, we will not bother you if your modest, just close the door and we will use the intercom to let you know we are going to come in." "It is up to you boys, I don't have to worry because I know where every freckle is on each of you," John told them with a smile. "Ok dad," Mark told him. He then turned and looked at Jim. "We don't mind being naked with you guys because we know you all love us. I just wish Rodie could swim with us." "I know, why don't you go swim and when Rodie wakes up I will bring him into the pool for a little while ok." Jim told them as he stood up. "Come on and I will show you where the towels are. I also have a couple of terry cloth robes that I no longer use that you can have. We also have some pool toys like a floating basketball hoop." "Yeah! That would be kewl," Eric exclaimed as he and Mark followed Jim through the den and into the pool. Jim showed them were the bathroom was, and where the large thick towels were. He reached onto the top shelf, and took down two old robes and handed one to each of them. He then got the pool toys and noodle chairs out of the utility closet, and carried them over to the pool. Just then, both of them came out of the bathroom naked, carrying the towels and robes. Eric sat his stuff down and gave Jim a quick hug before looking at Mark. "He told me I was cute when he put that lotion on me to help my sunburn Mark," Eric said before taking the ball and jumping into the water. Mark blushed a bit as he put his stuff down on the lounge chair. He then faced Jim and waited a moment allowing Jim to see him in his naked glory before speaking. "Do you think I am cute Jim?" Mark asked shyly. Jim saw that Mark looked like a Greek Adonis. He had well defined muscles on his chest and abdomen while keeping that slender appearance. His butt was well rounded and firm while his legs were slender but muscular. Mark's balls were smaller than Jim expected and they hung low beneath his 4" circumcised semi-erect penis with a small half inch strip of dark hair just above it. Other than the small patch of fine pubic hair, his young body was smooth except for the hair on his head. "No, I don't." Jim told him and Mark's smile faded off his face. "You are too old to be cute, you have graduated to down right gorgeous young man." Mark's face beamed at his complement and he came over and hugged Jim tightly. "Thanks Jim," he said before tilting his head up slightly and kissing Jim on the lips while standing tip toed. "Like I told Rodie, do not ever be ashamed of your body Mark. Because your beauty comes from inside here," Jim told him as he pointed to his heart. Mark then broke the embrace, picked up the noodle chairs, and walked down the steps into the water. He laughed and hooted at Eric who quickly jumped on him. Jim watched them play for a moment then walked back towards the living room. As he reached the door, he stopped and turned on the intercom turning up the volume. "Hey you two, I have the intercom on now, so just yell loudly and we will be able to hear you if something happens," Jim said loudly to them. They shouted 'ok' to him and Jim walked back inside rejoining Marco and John. As he sat back down, he looked at John. "You have two very beautiful boys John, you should be very proud of them." "I am Jim, and I have tried to raise them to be proud of themselves as well as their bodies. I do not think I am doing a bad job in that," John said. He then laughed a little before continuing. "My God, you have no idea how much trouble I had when Mark started to ejaculate. He was so upset after he had his first wet dream about six months ago." "Oh, I know all about that John, Rodie just started ejaculating. What made it worse was that he had his first wet dream while he was asleep on top of me. He thought he had peed on me, and was almost inconsolable," Jim told him and all three laughed. "Mark was the same way, he had thought he wet the bed and was so ashamed about it." John told them and Jim nodded his head knowing what Mark had felt. Jim was surprised at how late Mark had started to ejaculate. He figured that Mark must be a late bloomer like he was when he was that age. Jim remembered that he did not develop pubic hair until he was 16, and he did not start to grow until that age also. As he thought about this, Jim's mind thought about what Dr. Randall had told him about how Rodie would develop. "The only problem we see in the future for Rodie is how he will develop. Dr. Randall will need to do some more tests, but he said that Rodie had suffered significant damage to his testicles. He doubts Rodie will mature properly, and he might need growth hormone therapy." Jim said to John and Marco. "I would not worry to much about it Jim, Mark is getting that treatment now. When he was six I took him to the fair and a horse he was looking at kicked him through the stall railings. It crushed his testicles, and up until he started the treatments, he was no bigger than Eric was. He has grown 4 inches in the last year, and he just started to ejaculate and get pubic hair." John explained to Jim and Marco. "It is true Jim, up until last year Mark was one of my smallest students." Marco told him, and then he looked at John. "How much longer will he continue the therapy John?" "Dr. Randall is cutting back on it now, but he will continue it until he is 16, then he will stop." John answered him while Jim thought everything over for a moment. "Is there a specific reason why he is stopping it?" Jim asked him. "Yes, once Mark's growth begins to slow down, if the treatments continue, it could cause severe problems later such as cancer. In addition, he will start to show other effects from the treatments such as abnormal body hair growth, and premature aging of his organs and bones. Dr. Randall said that he expects Mark to reach 5' 1" before he finishes the injections. Mark will probably grow another inch or so after the injections stop, but he will always appear young looking until he is well into his forties. His problem right now is that his libido has gone crazy, but that is a side effect of the injections. Mark has no control over his erections or ejaculations, and it causes him enough embarrassment. I also know that he has had sexual intercourse with an older boy that lived in the our building until he left for college a couple of months ago. That is why he does not go to school now and has a tutor instead. I enrolled him in the dance and gymnastics classes so that he will have some kind of interactions with other kids, he also plays soccer, and belongs to a swim team in Nags Head." John explained to them. "You know John, I just think you solved my problem with Rodie. Right now, he is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and with school just a couple of moths away, I was worried that would only add to his troubles. He needs a stable environment where he does not feel stressed, judged, or pressured right now. As well as being around people who understand and accept him as he is. I do not think he will be able to get that in any school. However, if he could join Mark in home schooling, he would have no problem then. Because he does like Mark the same way Mark likes him, and Mark accepts him as he is. Tell you what, if you are willing to agree to this, I will pay for the costs for all three boys education." Jim told him. John thought about it for a few moments before answering him. "No, you do not have to do that Jim, while it is expensive, I would not ask you to do that. Rodie would be welcome to join Mark in his home schooling, and I think it will benefit both boys. I was also thinking of moving Eric to a private school because he is very intelligent and he has already passed most of his classmates in school. Eric is already working at a 6th grade level even though he is only in the fourth grade." John told him. "Well now this is something I am good at John. I may not know some things but I do know money. This is how I have been able to make my settlement from my auto accident that disabled me grow ten fold in just over five years. Anyway, I know that you make good money, but you also have two boys to raise alone. So I am going to insist on this matter, consider it compensation for your part in helping Rodie recover so he can live and grow. He means the world to me, and you are a father, so you will be able to help him as well as me in the areas that I do not know about. I just love him, while you are a parent. There is a huge difference between those two things. So while you and Cathy guide, care, love, and nurture Rodie, Mark, and Eric as they grow, I will see to all the boys education and financial needs. I can already see that Rodie considers Eric as a brother while Mark will be his companion. Between the five of us, we should be able to produce three worthy young men." Jim told him honestly. "I appreciate your offer Jim, and you are probably right about this. However, I would like to discuss this completely when Cathy and Eddie are present. We can make our decisions then. I do agree with you about the future for all three of them. You do not know how much both Eric and Mark suffered when they thought Rodie had went home. Especially Mark, because I believe he truly loves Rodie. I know it sounds silly, but I do believe in love at first sight." John told him. Jim and Marco agreed with him and they turned matters to different subjects. Rodie woke after an hour and thought Eric and Mark had left without saying goodbye. He was about to walk out to the living room when Jim came in to check on him. He had a sad expression on his face when Jim came into the room. "They didn't even say goodbye Jim," he said as Jim sat on the bed beside him. "Now why would they do that, my love?" Jim asked him as he lifted his head up until he could see his eyes. "Well they went home after I fell asleep didn't they?" Rodie asked him. "No, they did not. They did not want to disturb you so they asked if they could go swimming. I told them that once you wake up, that if you feel like it we could join them." Jim told him softly as he kissed his nose. "They are still here? And I can go swimming too Jim?" Rodie asked in an excited voice. "Well, you may not want to since they decided to go skinny dipping," Jim said with a smile. Rodie frowned a little when he said that. "What's that mean Jim?" He asked not understanding what he meant. "Oh, well they did not have their swim trunks here so they decided to swim naked is all. If you go swimming we will have to be naked also, and Mark will see your pee-pee." Jim told him with a silly grin on his face making Rodie giggle. "I don't care if he sees it, I want him to see it, and I want to see his too." Rodie answered while blushing a deep red. "I sort of figured you would say that. You really do like Mark a lot don't you?" Jim asked him. Rodie looked at him intently for a moment before looking away. "Yeah, I really do Jim. You are not mad at me because I do, are you. I will not see him anymore if you are Jim." Rodie told him seriously. "No my love, I am not mad, and I told you that I would not be the only one you will love. You need Mark, just like you need me. I know you will always love me, and I will always love you. However, Mark needs your love also, and you need his, so do not worry about me. I understand, and I will always be here for you ok," Jim told him softly with as much love and understanding he could put into those words. Rodie reached up and hugged Jim tightly. "I will always love you Jim, no matter who else I love. I never want to be away from you either, so Mark will have to just move in with us." He answered with a smile. Jim could not help but chuckle at the last part. Rodie kissed him then rubbed his small nose against Jim's as he smiled at him. "Come on, if you want to go swimming, I will take you ok." Jim told him. Rodie nodded his head and Jim picked him up gently. He carried him out into the living room where John and Marco were talking. Jim had a feeling that Marco and John were on friendlier terms than they let show to everyone else. "Well good afternoon bright eyes, you feel better now?" Marco asked him as Jim sat in his recliner with Rodie on his lap. "Yeah I do Marco, Jim is going to take me swimming with Mark and Eric," Rodie told him happily. John was looking at Rodie while he answered Marco. "Bright eyes, what a fitting nickname for you Rodie. Your eyes were the first things I noticed about you when we first met. They are so striking, the name really fits you," John told him with a smile while Rodie blushed prettily. "Jim, we were wondering if you could keep an eye on the boys while we go get some things from my home?" "No problem John, Marco, could you let Brutis out before you leave. Also, what do we need to plan about dinner?" Jim asked him. "Well Rodie can not have the same as us, but I know someplace that makes an excellent chowder that he can eat. I was going to pick up some lunchmeat on the way back and we can have some sandwiches with the chowder." Marco told him, he then looked at Rodie and said. "You young man, it is time for your shake again." "Banana ok, I like them the best," Rodie told him as Marco got up and headed for the kitchen. John was looking questionably towards Jim. "The infection in Rodie's abdomen has caused him to lose a substantial amount of weight John. That is why he is so weak right now. Dr. Randall said to give him high carbohydrate shakes to help him regain some of that weight and to increase his strength." Jim explained to him as John nodded in understanding. "I see, well I hope that his recovery is speedy, because I would like to see that gorgeous ball of energy I met on the beach a few weeks ago again." John said as he smiled at Rodie. Marco brought Rodie a glass with a straw and handed it to him. It took a few minutes, but Rodie dutifully drank the entire shake before setting the empty glass down. Jim kissed him on his forehead and snuggled him close to his chest once he was done. John and Marco told them that they would be back soon and left. Jim picked up Rodie and carried him into the pool area where Mark and Eric shouted out happily when they saw him. They quickly scrambled out of the water and came up to him. Mark looked like he was holding his breath as Rodie looked at his naked body. Rodie then motioned Mark to sit beside him, and he did. He then wrapped his arms around Mark's neck and kissed him on the lips. Mark was surprised at first but melted into his embrace as he kissed him. Rodie then looked intently at Mark for a moment after ending the kiss and a look of surprise came onto Mark's face. "You can really do that, that is wonderful Rodie," Mark told him as he looked at Eric and Jim. "Rodie can talk to us in just our minds, isn't that amazing?" "You can, do it to me then," Eric asked excitedly. Rodie stared at him for a moment as Eric's eyes widened. "Oh wow! That is so kewl Rodie. I wish I could do that. "I don't Eric, most people hate me cause I can do it. Until I met you and Mark, I really did not have any friends." Rodie told them sadly. "Well you have us now, so don't worry about it." Eric said to him. Rodie thought for a moment with his brow creased slightly. "I can do other things too, I have never tried it with two people before so I may not be able to do it. So let's see if I can, I want both of you to take your finger and bite down on it till it hurts ok." Rodie explained to both of them. Mark and Eric did as he instructed and Rodie frowned in concetration. He then started rubbing his finger like he had smashed it while Eric and Mark looked at him with surprise. "How did you do that?" Mark asked him as Eric echoed him, both were staring in amazement at Rodie. "Hey it worked Jim," Rodie said with a big smile as he continued to massage his finger, and looking at both boys. "You guys did not have to bite down so hard though, I guess that is because I took both of you guys pain away. See it doesn't go away really, I just feel it instead of you is all. I tried to do it with Jim, now that was really hard. You can't imagine how much pain he is in all the time, but he is used to it he says." "That is really kewl. Hey, are you able to go swimming Rodie?" Eric asked him. "Yeah, Jim said I could, but I have to take it easy is all cause I am still weak." "That is ok Rodie, I will carry you," Mark told him. "Alright, will you help me with my clothes?" He asked Mark while blushing a little bit. Mark carefully helped Rodie undress until he was naked. He showed Mark and Eric the scars where the doctors had operated on him. "Dr. Randall fixed my pee-pee too, it was messed up from when my father bit it. Rodie said softly as he pointed out the scars on his genitals his father had caused. "Dr. Randall don't know if I will be able to grow normally cause of what daddy did to me." "Don't worry Rodie, Dr. Randall will make it all right. When I was six years old, a horse kicked me and smashed my nuts. When I was 13, I was still only an inch taller than Eric was, but Dr. Randall started giving me shots. In the last year I have grown over 4 inches and I even have hair down here now, see." Mark explained to him and pointing to the small strip of pubic hair above his penis. He then had Rodie feel his testicles, and then his own showing how his felt the same in the spongy texture. "See Rodie, you are just like me." Rodie thought about it for a moment before tears started to slip down his face. He kissed Mark again and hugged him tightly. "I love you Mark, because we are just alike," he said softly in his ear. "I know we are, and I loved you since I saw you on the beach almost naked," Mark told him. Rodie looked up at him with a confused expression when he said that. "You have to admit that the Speedo you were wearing did not cover very much. I watched you the whole time when you came to the beach until my dorky brother here had to go and almost drown himself." "Hey, who you calling Dorky! At least I don't get a boner every time the wind blows like you do!" Eric said while making a face and wiggling his hips at him. Rodie looked intently at Mark who was blushing at his brother's comments. "I get them all the time too, but mine isn't as big as yours is," Rodie said silently to him. He looked over at Rodie and saw his penis standing up now like his own. He could see the dark bruising and swelling on Rodie's small hard penis still, and so he was very careful when he reached out and touched it gently. He ran his fingers along its length lightly caressing it as it began to throb while Rodie breathed in quickly before he stopped. Rodie reached out and did the same to his gently squeezing the head before stopping and smiling at Mark. Then Mark stood up and gently picked up Rodie into his arms and carried him into the pool. Once they were about chest deep in the water, Rodie shifted around until he was facing Mark. He had his arms wrapped around his neck and he wrapped his skinny legs around his waist. Mark leaned his head forward a bit and kissed Rodie again. They both blushed a little afterwards and giggled. Jim undressed and slipped into the hot tub while the three of them played in the pool. After about 30 minutes Mark carried Rodie out of the pool and over to Jim sitting him on the side of the hot tub. "Is it ok for me to come in here Jim?" Rodie asked him. "Yes it is, I think it will help you feel better also because it is nice and warm." Jim told him as he held open his arms for him. He could see that Rodie was tired from the short time he had been in the pool. Rodie scooted close enough so he could lift him up and sat him on his lap facing him. Mark and Eric came and joined them after they had gotten all of the pool toys out of the water. They relaxed in the warm water talking about different things and Rodie slipped off to sleep with his head resting on his chest. Jim waited for ten more minutes before motioning to Mark and Eric to help him. Mark helped him steady himself as he stood with Rodie in his arms. He then got out of the hot tub and carried Rodie over to a cushioned lounge chair. He had Eric lay a towel on it then he lay Rodie down on it. After he lay Rodie down, Jim put his hands on his back and arched backwards trying to relieve the muscle spasm he was having. After he straightened up was when he noticed Mark and Eric watching him. He turned around so they could see him fully. Mark traced the scar on the side of his chest just as Rodie had done about three weeks earlier. "I still think you are beautiful Jim, just like I did when I met you with Rodie." Mark said in a soft high voice. Jim noticed that while Mark looked like he was beginning to develop physically, he still sounded like a young boy like Rodie and his brother. "I think you are too Mark, and Eric is a real cutie too. Come on and help me dry Rodie off and get him dressed. He did more than I thought he would be able to." Jim told both of them and they smiled at his compliment. Eric and Mark gently dried Rodie's body, and Mark's hand trembled as he dried his penis and balls that were now pulled up tight to his body. Jim could see Mark's penis quickly become fully erect to its 4 1/2 inches as he did this. While at the same time Rodie's bruised penis hardened to its 3 inches as Mark watched, and Eric squeezed his own small 2 inch hardon. Jim gently lifted Rodie while Mark slipped the cotton boxers up on him. Eric then wrapped Rodie's hair in a towel and Jim laid him down again. All three of them dried and dressed quickly in their robes before Jim picked Rodie up and carried him back to his room. He left his damp hair wrapped in the towel and covered him up. Eric climbed into the bed next to him and said he was going to take a nap with Rodie. Mark and Jim left the room and went into the kitchen for something to drink. Jim heard Brutis scratching at the door, so he let him in. Mark then followed Jim back to the bedrooms, and Jim opened the door for Brutis. He jumped up into the bed with Rodie and Eric nuzzling both of them before settling down at the foot of the bed as the two small boys slept. Jim then went to his room with Mark following him. When he got in the room, Mark hesitated for a moment then he stepped close and kissed Jim passionately. End Chapter 11. Comments welcome at snwdemon@worldcom.att.net
