As often happens, harmony is sometimes achieved through adversity, and so was the case with Rick and Joel. Rick's accident reminded both boys of the fragility of life, the need to live each day as if it were the last, and to reach for all the happiness the world has to offer.

That is not to say that there weren't some issues still to be resolved, and some decisions to be made, but there was no doubt in either boy's mind that they wanted to try to make things work.

That first day after the accident, Rick confessed to Joel where he'd been that night and why. He cried and asked for Joel's forgiveness, and Joel comforted him and held him until he finally fell asleep.

When he awoke later around one o'clock, Joel fixed a light lunch and they ate at the dining room table, side by side, holding hands most of the time.

Since it was the weekend, Rick decided to wait until Monday to go downtown and see about his bike, and Joel offered to go with him.

Resting on the couch after dinner, Rick once again tried to apologize to Joel, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone there, it was wrong, and what I did with Andy, that was wrong too..."

"I'll admit, at first I was upset about Andy, but I've done some thinking since then, and I kind of understand how things were. As far as the bookstore goes, there's nothing to forgive there. I mean, if we were in a committed relationship, then yeah, I'd be upset, but we weren't...not then. I even thought about going there myself. In fact, I was going to go tonight," Joel added blushing.

"It wasn't as good as I'd hoped. Sex with you is much better. I'd have gotten just as much pleasure from jacking off, and now I wish I had. My bike wouldn't be wrecked and I wouldn't be worrying about my hospital bills."

"But...you and I might not have gotten back together as quickly if you hadn't wrecked," Joel said grinning.

"As quickly?" Rick said, picking up on that part first.

"Yeah, I think we would have eventually found our way back to each other. Then this happened, and I thought, what if you'd been killed? How could I live with myself knowing you died thinking I didn't like you or want to be with you?" Joel said wiping at his eyes, "Life is too short to spend one minute of it upset or unhappy."

"Look at me," Rick said wiping the tears from Joel's cheek, "It wasn't your fault, none of it was. I messed up and you called me on it, that's all. I didn't die, cause it's not my time. Maybe in some crazy way this happened for a reason, to bring us back together. I don't know, but I think both of us need to forgive ourselves first, then we can go on from there."

"You're a lot smarter than you look," Joel chuckled, "and I think you're right. Let's not waste another minute fighting, okay? How are you feeling, by the way?" Joel said, raising an eyebrow inquisitively.

"Not bad," Rick said, then realizing what Joel was really asking, he chuckled, "I'm never too sick or injured for that."

"Well, I'll be gentle," Joel said, I just want to make you feel good, then snuggle with you and feel your warm soft skin against mine."

"Mmm, sounds fun, but only if I get to make you feel good too."

"Deal," Joel said, rising and offering Rick a hand up.

Together they walked to the bedroom, and seconds later were naked and in bed. As their naked bodies pressed together, they kissed tenderly, all their pent up emotions suddenly released as they shared these acts of intimacy.

Joel was first to break the kiss, and pushing Rick gently onto his back, he began to place small kisses on his neck, shoulder, chest, and finally to nibble at his nipples with his lips and tongue.

"Mmm, that feels wicked," Rick cooed.

Joel didn't answer, but next he moved down to Rick's washboard stomach and began placing tiny kisses there and licking him as if he were a big slab of peppermint candy.

Then sticking his tongue in Rick's belly button, Joel moaned as he tasted his saltiness. Rick moaned in tune with Joel's expert skills, and when Joel at last moved down to his pubic area, both boys were eager for what came next.

Joel, though only 18, was more experienced than many older men. He'd begun his sexual journey at the age of 12, having reached puberty early, and had been with dozens of sex partners over the years. Some were friends, some passing acquaintances, and others, like those at the bookstore, anonymous one-time partners. The fact that he'd yet to experience anal sex might have been unusual to some, but to Joel it made perfect sense. Just as a woman saves her virginity for someone she really cares about, Joel was also holding out for the right guy.

However, all other forms of sexual contact were permissible and encouraged, and Joel had honed his skills over the years until he was nearly an expert now. Oral was his favorite. He loved the feel of a hard dick in his mouth, the throbbing when his partner exploded, and the feel and taste of hot sticky cum coating his tongue and mouth.

Kissing was another of the skills Joel had perfected over the years, though most of that had been done later in is life. Young boys weren't as keen to kiss, being mostly in it for the orgasm, but he had found a few over the years who willingly and enthusiastically participated.

One boy who came to mind at that moment was a boy named Josh. Josh had been 10, Joel 12 and they'd met at the swimming pool. They'd hung around together that afternoon, and when it was time to go, the two had walked to a nearby park and hung out, talking and cutting up as boys do.

It was Josh who said he needed to pee and encouraged Joel to accompany him to the bathroom. Eager to do so, on the unlikely chance he might get to see the boy's dick, his heart beating wildly, Joel followed the younger boy into the toilet.

A heavy metal door swung open, and inside, as Joel knew from previous visits, were a sink, a single urinal, and one stall with no door, the opening facing the opposite wall from the other fixtures.

Josh went directly to the urinal, and as Joel watched, the boy lowered his swim trunks to his knees, exposing his little white ass, then began to deliver a hot thick stream of piss into the urinal.

Joel stared, reaching down to adjust himself as he feasted on the boy's creamy sweet peaches. At about that same moment, the boy swiveled his head around to speak to Joel, and when he saw where Joel's hand was, he laughed.

"Got a boner cause of my ass?" the boy smirked.

"No," Joel denied, his face red with embarrassment, "I just had an itch, that's all."

"It's okay," the boy said, regretting his mocking tone now, "I get em too."

"Get what?" Joel said, feigning ignorance.

"These," Josh said swinging around to reveal a hard little spike now that he'd finished peeing.

"Oh," Joel exclaimed, his excitement growing by the second at the prospect of what might happen next.

"Let's see yours," Josh said grinning.

"Well, I don't know..." Joel said glancing toward the door.

"We can go back there," Josh said hooking a finger toward the stall.

Then without waiting for an answer, Josh duck-walked, with his trunks still around his knees, passing Joel as he headed to the stall. Helpless to resist, and at any rate not wanting to, Joel followed, his hard little dick leading the way.

Josh was aggressive and playful once both of them had their trunks down, and Joel felt as if he could blow at any moment if the boy continued his fondling. He wanted badly to suck the younger boy, to slide his mouth along that smooth steely shaft, to inhale his musky boy scent and lick his hairless balls and groin, but he was unsure just how much this boy could tolerate before calling foul.

He need not have worried, for Josh had an older cousin who had taught him how to play, and taught him well.

"Lean down," Josh said then, and though clueless at first, Joel obeyed willingly.

When Josh's sweet tender lips met his, Joel was surprised but pleased, and he quickly reciprocated, finally drawing the boy in for a hug, their hard dicks grinding together as they continued to kiss.

Encouraged by Josh's passion and willingness, Joel at last dropped to his knees and took the boy's small hard dick into his mouth and began to suckle as if starved. He alternated between the boy's soft hairless balls and his stiff prick, all the while rubbing up and down those creamy white peaches he'd admired earlier.

With a little cry of pleasure, Josh pushed up on tiptoes, burying his 2 and a half-incher into Joel's hot hungry mouth, then adding a sigh of relief, he came, and came hard.

Joel never saw Josh again after that day, but often he would remember their time together, and most of all, the kiss. Innocent, yet passionate, it set the standard for all kisses he would experience going forward.

"Mmm...you taste so good," Joel said coming up off Rick's cock for a moment."

"Keep that up and you'll have another taste in a minute," Rick gasped.

"Not yet," Joel said, moving down to lick Rick's mostly hairless ball sack, then letting his tongue drift downward to his taint.

"I want you to fuck me," Rick moaned, "I know, I know...you said you weren't ready for that, but I really want you to. I want to be your first."

"Funny you should say that," Joel said staring up at Rick, "I've been thinking the same thing, too, about me, I mean. I want you to be the first to fuck me."

"Are you sure, babe?" Rick said excitedly.

"Yeah, I'm sure, but you're gonna have to be gentle. I've never had anything that big inside me."

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, but first, I want you inside me..."

Joel's first time was something he'd dreamed of, had waited for patiently, but had believed wouldn't happen for a long time, however, now that time had finally arrived. It was met with excitement, anticipation, and yes, with apprehension, but somehow Joel knew that the moment was right, as was the person he'd be sharing this experience with.

It helped that Rick had him go first. This too was a first, entering another man, invading his most private place and taking pleasure there. But he soon learned there was so much more involved than simple sexual release.

This was sex, real sex, sharing one's body with another person, two bodies merging as one, the feeling more intense than any he'd experienced thus far in his life.

He laughed, he cried, he moaned, and sighed, and as they danced the dance of love, the two kissed and bonded even more strongly than they had before.

When it was over, when Joel at last released his seed into his lover's hot warm insides, as they lay panting, tired, spent, but happy, they stared into each other's eyes and into one another's very soul.

"That was amazing," Joel sighed, nuzzling Rick's neck.

"It was, babe, the best ever for me," Rick said kissing the top of Joel's head.

"I'm glad I waited though," Joel murmured, "I don't think it would have been as good with some random guy."

Rick chuckled, "Good to know I'm not just some random guy."

"Of course you're not," Joel said slapping Rick playfully, "you're my random guy, right?"

Rick sighed, "You mean it? Of course I am," he added, his voice thick with emotion.

Kissing Rick on the lips, Joel stared into his eyes and smiled, "Damn you, Rick Casey, you've done gone and made me fall in love."

Rick's smile filled his whole face as his eyes glistened with tears, "I love you too, and...I never thought I'd ever feel that way about anyone. You're as much to blame as me," he added with a grin, "you're just so damn adorable."

Next, after some cuddling, kissing and pillow talk, it was Joel's turn to lose his other virginity. Rick was patient, starting with a relaxing rim job, some fingering and finally slowly, gently, he entered his lover, inch by inch, until he had claimed him for his own.

Joel was surprised that once the initial discomfort had passed, he actually enjoyed the feel of Rick's hard cock inside him. He knew about that place inside that could be stimulated, for he'd touched it with his finger and various other items during self exploration, but Rick's cock hit it just right with each thrust, and before long he found himself on the edge of another orgasm, this one hands-free.

Rick knew how to pace himself, how to control things for both of them, and with expert timing he brought them both to orgasm within seconds of each other.

As Rick came, flooding Joel's bowels with his hot sticky seed, Joel erupted once more, splashing a significant amount of cum between them, despite having come earlier.

"Mmmm, I had no idea it would feel that good," Joel sighed, "but I'm still glad I waited for the right guy."

"I'm glad you waited for me too," Rick said nuzzling Joel's ear, "You're mine now," he growled, "I've marked you. If you were a girl, you'd be pregnant right now."

Joel chuckled, "If I was a girl, you wouldn't have bred me."

"True, just sayin'..." Rick said sheepishly.

"My legs are kinda cramping..." Joel finally said, and Rick apologized and allowed him to lower them as he rolled to one side.

"We're a mess," Joel sighed, "but I don't care if you don't."

"We'll change the sheets later, let's snuggle a while," Rick said pulling Joel's sticky body against him.

They talked some, then they napped, and when they awoke at last the sun was just going down. Padding off to the bathroom to pee, Joel was soon joined by Rick, who suggested they take a shower, together.

Energized by the water cascading over their naked bodies, the two became hard again and swapped blowjobs before drying off and getting dressed.

They were hungry again and Rick suggested they go out for dinner.

"Hey, aren't you supposed to work tonight?" Rick suddenly said.

"I called in after you called me. It's no big deal, they have plenty of help."

"Well, if you're sure. I'm glad you're here, with me."

"Let's take my car," Joel suggested, "I don't trust you to drive us, Evil Knievil," he added with a laugh.

"Ha, very funny. One little accident and I'm a bad driver."

"I'm kidding. I just want to pamper you, that's all."

They wound up at Long John Silver's, and over fish dinners and hush puppies they laughed and talked and had a great time. However, near the end of their dinner, Joel finally brought up the other issue that had been on his mind since the flareup the other night.

"I've been thinking," Joel said toying with his drink straw.

"Oh, about what?" Rick said, clueless, but curious where this was going.

"About Andy,"

"Oh, well...what exactly are you thinking...about him?"

Joel looked around to make sure no one was in hearing distance, and satisfied they were safe to speak freely, in a soft voice he said, "I think you and Andy were right."

"Uh, right? How so?" Rick said, still not sure he understood.

"Well, for one thing, I don't blame you for...for, you know, what happened the other night. I knew Andy was like that, aggressive, and very...horny," he chuckled, "and I'm not sure I could have resisted him either. In fact, that first night when I picked him up in my car, it was all I could do not to give in to him. He's very persuasive."

"Yeah, and it doesn't hurt that he's cute and sexy either."

"Very," Joel agreed. Then after taking a drink of his soda he laid a bomb on Rick that nearly caused him to choke on the bite of fish he'd just taken, "I want to include him...in whatever this is we have."

"Uh, you mean...?"

Joel nodded, "Why should you get all the fun?" he said grinning, "I've thought about this a lot. Do you think we can do that without anyone's feelings getting hurt, or someone being jealous?"

"Wow, this is totally unexpected," Rick mused, "are you sure about this?"

"Yeah, but of course, you guys have to want it too..."

"Oh, I think we already know what the little horn dog will say," Rick chuckled.

"So, seems like it's up to you," Joel said locking eyes with Rick.

"I want...I want whatever you want," Rick said then, a sigh of relief escaping him, "If you're fine with it, I'm fine with it, but I do have an idea about how to make sure no one feels left out or gets jealous."

"What's that?"

"We only do stuff with Andy together, but you and I can do stuff together any time we want, cause we're the ones in love."

"Okay, that makes sense," Joel agreed, "So, now that we've settled that, want to go see if he's home?"

"Sure, no time like the present to get things going."

A quick call to Andy's apartment found him home and eager to hook up with the two. Of course he had no idea what was ahead, he just wanted to hang out with them, and was glad they were talking again.

On the way to Rick's, the two filled Andy in on Rick's accident and he became very agitated.

"Oh my God, you coulda been killed. Man, that sucks, and your bike is toast?"

"Not sure about the bike yet, I'm gonna go get it Monday. We'll take the truck, and between me and Joel I think we can get it loaded.

"I could help, too," Andy offered.

"We might take you up on that offer. So, Andy...have you eaten yet?"

"Yeah, I had pizza with my dumb old brother."

"Good, cause you're gonna need your strength," Joel chuckled.

"Why, what's going on?" Andy said, looking from one to the other.

"You'll see," Joel said mysteriously.

Though Andy was dying to know what this was all about, he knew better than to nag, opting instead to wait and see what they had in mind. Of course he had wild fantasies of what might be about to go down, but he had little hope of any of them coming true.

At Rick's at last, the three went inside and Joel directed Andy to sit on the couch. Next, he and Rick took a seat on either side of him and Joel began.

"So, I guess you've kind of noticed that Rick and I are back together..."

"Yeah, that's great," Andy said grinning, "I was afraid I'd messed things up for you two."

"No, it wasn't your fault," Rick said quickly, "it was mine."'

"It was actually mine, too," Joel continued, "I was jealous, pure and simple, that's all. I was upset that Rick got something that I should have had, because I saw you first."

Andy's jaw dropped open and he stuttered, "Yyyou, mean...?"

"Yeah, and if you're willing, we'd like to fix that. We want you to do stuff with us, but only when it's all three of us. Is that okay?"

"Hell yeah!" Andy said pulling at the sudden tent in his shorts.

"Well, I guess we have his answer," Rick chuckled as his eyes followed Andy's hand to his crotch.

"Do we get naked now, or what?" Andy said standing and pulling at his shorts again.

"Let us," Rick said, and together he and Joel quickly stripped the boy, exposing his smooth tanned flesh and raging hardon.

"Oh, my..." Joel hissed, this being his first time seeing the boy naked, "I can see why you couldn't resist."

"Now, you guys gotta get nekkid too," Andy said excitedly, tugging at both their jeans as if desperate for them to come off.

Rick and Joel were eager to comply, slowly undressing, as Andy's eyes now feasted upon them.

"Oh, shit, you guys are hot," Andy hissed, "I want to suck you both, sooo bad."

"Do Joel first," Rick suggested, "he deserves some fun for coming up with this great idea."

Pushing the older boy down on the couch, Andy knelt between his legs and took Joel's cock into his mouth, swallowing it to the hilt without any sign of gagging.

"Damn, he swallows cock like a pro," Rick chuckled, then sitting beside the two, he watched as the boy continued to give expert head to his lover.

Eventually, Andy's small soft hand found Rick's cock and he jerked him as he sucked Joel, eventually going back and forth till both Joel and Rick blasted off in his eager, hungry mouth.

Now it was time for Joel and Rick to pleasure the boy, and no spot was left untouched, unlicked, unkissed, or unloved. They rimmed him, they sucked his toes, they took turns kissing him and rubbing his smooth teenage skin. Next, they took turns sucking his balls and hard dick until he finally blasted off his hot teenage spunk, which they shared in a three way kiss.

Drained, exhausted, and sated, the three fell back on the couch and snuggled, the younger boy in the middle, as the three talked about the experience and what lay ahead in the future.

"Do you guys think you'd ever wanna fuck me?" Andy asked softly, knowing how Joel felt about anal sex, and not aware yet that he had recently lost his cherry, both ways.

Rick looked at Joel then and nodded, "Now that I'm no longer a virgin," Joel began, "I think I'd be open to that, both ways."

"Really, way cool," Andy said excitedly, "Now, I know I said I'd eaten pizza, but I'm hungry again. Can we get something to eat?"

"Sure, Rick laughed. How does a big old hot dog sound?"

*****************************

The three became closer in the weeks that followed, always observing the rules they'd set down, and maintaining harmony within the relationship. On the second get together, Andy persuaded both older boys to fuck him, and Joel realized that while his first time with Rick was special, making love to Andy was also special in it's own way.

However, what he enjoyed most was having Andy make love to him. Despite his age, the boy was neither jackrabbit quick nor clumsy in his love making. He was instead: affectionate, passionate, and gentle. Which is not to say he wasn't serious when the time came to get his rocks off. The last few minutes of his lovemaking were energetic and enthusiastic, and fun for both of them.

In the fall, Joel went off to college, leaving Rick and Andy behind, but with the promise of visiting as often as possible. As a parting gift, Joel granted Andy and Rick his approval for them to get together without him, but begging them not to forget him, or to fall in love.

Rick assured him that while in a way he loved Andy, he was in love with Joel, and would wait for him as long as necessary. He further promised that he and Andy would restrain themselves for the most part and spend most of their time together doing non-sexual things.

Andy loved the attention, and especially loved riding behind Rick on his brand new Harley, bought with part of the insurance money paid to him after the accident. As it turned out the hit and run driver was the son of a prominent business man, and to keep the news out of the papers, Rick had received a sizeable settlement.

Andy turned 16 in the fall, but Rick had already been giving him driving lessons in the pickup and he had learned well. Using the pickup, Andy had aced his driving test, and was now a licensed driver. Rick had a friend who sold cars and he had him pick up a cheap car for Andy at auction and gifted it to him shortly after he'd gotten his license.

To say the boy was excited was an understatement, and his tears of joy and thanks truly touched Rick's heart. With wheels now, the boy got a job at the same burger restaurant where Joel had worked and became quite independent.

Which is not to say that he and Rick didn't still get together, and when Joel came home to visit, the three always had a good time, dining out, then having fun in bed.

Though he professed to like girls, and had had sex with a girl twice, it was a boy who finally caught Andy's eye, and soon he had fallen in love. The boy's name was Steven, and he was 17, and lived in the same complex as Andy. They'd met through a friend, and the two hit it off immediately and became constant companions afterwards.

However, it was not until one night when Steven asked to sleep over that the two found they had more in common than movies, music, and food. Laying on the floor atop their sleeping bags in Andy's small bedroom, the two talked softly in the dark, and then suddenly Steven reached over and laid a hand on Andy's flat stomach.

At first Andy froze, then he turned his head, and in the darkness he saw the fear and the hunger in the boy's eyes. Smiling, Andy reached down and took the boy's hand and just held it for a moment. Then feeling the other boy relax, he began to push his hand lower, inch by inch, until it touched his hard cock. Steven took over then, and from there, it was all downhill.

At first Andy kept his new relationship a secret, but during Spring Break when he got together with Rick and Joel, he dropped the bomb on them. Not sure how they'd react, Andy was surprised and pleased that both Rick and Joel congratulated him and wished him well, though they did insist on meeting the boy who'd stolen Andy's heart.

That was arranged the following weekend, and Rick and Joel took to him right away. They could certainly see what Andy saw in him. Besides being handsome with a sexy body, he was witty, intelligent and polite, and it was evident he thought the world of Andy.

"Promise me you'll treat our boy with love and respect," Joel said as he and Rick toasted the happy couple's union with wine, while the boys had a beer.

"Don't worry, I will," Steven said blushing, "we may not have been together all that long, but I knew from the first minute we met that Andy was someone special, and that I wanted to get to know him better. And well, I guess he must've felt that way too, cause here we are," he said placing an arm around Andy's waist.

Joel wasn't sure if Andy had told Steven everything about his relationship with him and Rick, so he skirted around the issue until Andy finally brought it home.

"Steven and I been talking..." Andy began.

"Oh?" Rick said.

"Yeah, about us, and also about us three," he said tapping both Joel and Rick on the chest."

"Oh, so you know?" Joel said then.

"Yeah, Andy told me. At first I wasn't sure how I felt about that, but it was kinda exciting to think about, and after a while I finally got it. I understood why it worked, and how good it must've been for you guys."

"That's why Steven wants all four of us to do stuff," Andy said quickly.

"Well..." Joel said looking at Rick and grinning, "I guess the only question I have is, are you both sure about this?"

"I am," Andy said gazing at Steven wistfully.

"Yeah, I think it will be fun. Hey, what's the worst thing that could happen? If I don't like it, I won't do it again, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like it," Steven chuckled.

"I can't imagine a hot teenage boy like you not liking having your body worshiped by three other hot guys," Rick offered, "but keep in mind, Joel and I are both adults, and we have to keep this on the down low."

"Pfft, I know that," Steven said, "I sure would never tell anyone, and you know Andy won't, so we're pretty safe."

"Okay, well...there's no time like the present then, I guess," Rick said, "shall we lose some clothes, guys?"

Undressing each other turned out to be almost as much fun as what would come next, but took far less time. As soon as they were naked, hands began to roam, lips to brush lips, tongues exploring, and no one had any time to worry about jealousy, and they sure weren't being left out.

Steven had also lost his virginity first with a girl, but he'd given his anal cherry to Andy, and preferred they keep that part of their lovemaking between them. He and Andy had agreed on that one condition and Joel and Rick accepted that without reservation.

After all, lovemaking and sex were two very different things, and at any rate, anal wasn't the only way to have fun. In fact, both Joel and Rick sometimes preferred oral and frotting to anal and would come multiple times that way.

So, after much rimming, dick sucking, ball licking, nipple nibbling, and kisses from head to toe, the boys retired to the bedroom where Joel and Rick assisted Andy and Steven in preparing to make love.

Once the foreplay and prep were done, Joel and Rick took a place on either side of them and watched, participating by exchanging kisses with the two lovers, or just touching and encouraging them.

Andy took Steven first, and with all the foreplay and the excitement of having an audience, he gave his older lover one hell of a ride. Afterwards, breathless and panting, he fell down atop Steven and they kissed and cuddled till Andy was recovered enough to reciprocate.

Again, Joel and Rick assisted, and while Andy had insisted on doing it missionary style, Steven opted for doggy style. With Andy on all fours at the end of the bed, Steven placed his hard lubed up cock at his back door, and taking a hip in each hand, he pulled Andy down onto his 7 inches of hard throbbing cock, then buried it balls deep.

If Andy felt any discomfort, he didn't show it. In fact, he seemed to be moaning with pleasure from the beginning. The wild fucking before them inspired Joel and Rick to do some fucking of their own, and Rick took Joel as he bent over a straight-backed chair at the end of the bed, where they both had a ringside seat for Steven's performance.

And what a performance it was. Steven was every bit the stud he appeared to be, and seemed to have unlimited stamina for fucking. In fact, both Rick and Joel had fucked and gotten off by the time Steven finally cried out and began to unload.

To demonstrate just how much spunk Steven produced, "Andy proudly showed the two older boys the load oozing from his hole and running down his leg. Then with his hand covering his bottom to avoid spilling that spunk all over the floor, he headed off to the bathroom to clean up.

"That was wild," Joel said, "do you always last that long?"

"Not always, but I've learned how to pace myself. Andy likes long sessions, and sometimes we go twice."

"Wow," Rick said, "the older I get, the harder it gets to do that. Someday I'll join the one and done club," he laughed.

"No shame in that," Joel assured him, "it's quality, not quantity, and our lovemaking is top notch."

Andy returned then, and as with most teen boys he was hungry. In fact, they all were, and while Rick ordered a pizza, the boys cleaned up a bit and slipped on their underwear.

When the pizza arrived, Rick boldly went to the door wearing only his tighty whities to greet the young delivery boy. He'd peeked out of the window first to make sure it wasn't a lady or some old guy, and when he saw who was bringing the pizza he decided to give them an extra tip, a peek at his fabulous body.

"Come in, come in, just gotta grab my wallet, no pockets in these," he said patting his thighs and drawing the guy's attention to that part of Rick's body, and the notable tent erecting there.

Then, as if that wasn't enough to fluster the poor boy, he finally noticed the rest of the boys sitting on the sofa, and Rick thought he was going to lose his mind.

"Uh, having a party?" the dude asked.

Joel estimated his age to be somewhere between 18 and 20, and he was fit and handsome, in that boy-next-door sort of way. He was wearing jeans that fit him loosely so it was hard to tell what state his cock was in at the moment, but if the way he was staring was any indication, Joel figured he was getting harder by the minute.

"We were, just stopped for some food and more beer," Rick said handing the boy 20 bucks, "keep the change," he said adding a wink.

"Thanks!" the boy said smiling, "Nice tip," he said, but his eyes weren't on the money, instead they were on Rick's crotch.

"I'm glad you like it," Rick said in a sultry voice.

"Well, thanks," the boy said backing up a little, not taking his eyes off Rick until he had to. Then at the last minute he looked over at the other boys and gave them an appraising look before actually heading out the door.

Rick burst into laughter as soon as the door was closed and everyone joined in.

"Oh my God, I bet he goes right out to his car and beats off," Andy laughed.

"Yeah, while the memory is still fresh. Maybe I should have asked him what time he gets off work."

"Let's not get crazy," Joel sniggered, "the more people involved, the riskier this becomes. Let's keep it between the four of us for now."

"I was kidding. Well... come get it while it's hot," he said, but Joel wasn't sure if he meant the pizza or his ass.

Epilogue:

Joel and Rick continued their long distance relationship for the next three years, and when Joel finally graduated with a business degree, he and Rick opened their own auto repair shop. Rick knew how to fix cars, and Joel knew how to make money, and the business thrived. Eventually, they had six other mechanics working for them, and also sold used cars on the side, something which Joel thoroughly enjoyed.

During the college years, Andy and Steven occasionally joined the two lovers for dinner and fun afterwards, but when Steven graduated high school, he went off to college, leaving Andy alone once more.

For a while Andy moped around, and even sex with Rick, or both he and Joel, didn't seem to cheer him up much. Eventually, however, his tender feelings began to heal, and he moved on, though he and Steven still got together occasionally when Steven came home to visit.

When Andy graduated high school, unable to afford college, he went to work for Rick and Joel, starting off as a lot attendant and eventually working his way up to used car sales manager when he turned 21. All three continued their relationship, in and out of bed, but eventually Andy found someone new, a girl this time, and got married.

Rick and Joel were happy for Andy and his new bride, Amy, who was just as sweet as he was. And when the two announced that they were expecting, twins no less, Rick and Joel were almost as excited as the happy couple.

Rick and Joel were named Godfathers for the two boys, Jon and Don, and treated them as if they were their own. Since they couldn't have children of their own, this was the next best thing, and the two families remained close their entire lives.

Rick and Joel are retired now, and Andy is running the business they both started. The twins, Jon and Don, completed college and both married, and both have children, adding to the family that Rick and Joel felt was as much theirs as Andy and Amy's.

The Dirty Bookstore, like many 'shady' businesses of the 70's was closed down in the 80's, and one by one the other establishments of it's kind disappeared till their were none. Police crackdowns and changing perceptions had altered the landscape for gays during that era and most went underground.

Rick and Joel had been lucky and they knew it. While most gays of the period were only searching for sex, they'd both wanted more, and they'd found it. It might not have been the most romantic setting one could ask for, but they could not deny that they had found love in the most unlikely of places, The Dirty Bookstore.

If you're wondering what ever happened to Sam, well, he accepted Joel's sexuality with the same easy grace that he accepted everything else about his big brother. It didn't hurt that he'd liked Rick from the first time they met, and his feelings of friendship only continued to grow as the true nature of his and Joel's relationship was revealed.

Sam was straight, however, and had his first girlfriend in 7th grade. He dated off and on through high school and college, and after graduating at the top of his class, he accepted a job out of state where he met and married a cute little Asian gal named, Jo. They had three kids, all boys, and Joel and Rick were the proudest uncles you could ever find.

The End

Some of my fondest memories as a young gay man were those times spent in places like The Dirty Bookstore. I'd discovered the bookstores, gay hangouts, and bars, while still living almost an hour's drive away in the small town where I was born and grew up, but eventually I moved to the 'big city' and immersed myself in the gay culture.

Though 'straight' in appearance, I embraced the naughtiness of gay cruising in the parks, restrooms, malls, and of course, the 'dirty bookstores'. I can honestly say, unlike the characters in this story, I was never really looking for 'love'. I was always looking for sex, and not to brag, I usually found it.

However, after several years of this, I burned out. It was a lonely life for the most part, never making friends and never falling in love. However, today I think more gays are looking for relationships, and not just sex. For they too have found that sex is easy to find, that love is fleeting and waning, and in some cases unobtainable.❤

So, is it any wonder that I wound up marrying a woman? It was easy to love someone who loved me back, and while I still had feelings for men, intimacy with my wife was easy and we produced two beautiful children.

However, those fires always burned inside me, and eventually I acted on my feelings, got caught, and we divorced. Fortunately, the kids were grown by then, and at 50 years of age, I finally came out, and today I am out and proud, but sadly alone. For as I had found out long ago when I was a young man, sex is easy to find, but love is not...

I would love to hear from other guys who remember this era and the culture, and who would be willing to share their experiences with me.

A last minute note:

I discovered late last night that we have lost another or our great internet authors, Comicality. His stories were an inspiration to me and to other authors as well as his readers. His style was similar to mine in many ways, and I always found his stories enjoyable and engaging. We lost him way to soon, as he was only 49 and had been battling a liver ailment. But that just goes to show that tomorrow is promised to no one, and that we must live each day as if it were our last.

Never fail to tell those you love how you feel, never go to bed holding a grudge, never put off till tomorrow what you need to do today, for tomorrow may never come. I am saddened by the loss of Comicality, even though I didn't know him personally and only emailed him once or twice, I feel like I have lost a friend. However, his legacy will live on in his stories and that gives me some comfort when I think about my own legacy. When I go, as we all must, I will leave behind my own legacy of stories and new generations of readers will laugh, cry, and live vicariously through the characters I have created. And if by some chance even one of those readers finds a new direction in their life or is helped over a rough spot, I will have fulfilled my destiny.

To all my dear and faithful readers and to all those who perhaps have just discovered my work, thank you for your kind email and words of encouragement, and for keeping Nifty alive so authors such as myself have a place to post our stories.

I promise I will continue to write as long as my head and my hands are up to the task, and when I go, I hope the legacy I leave behind will inspire a new generation of writers to carry on the good fight.
