Michael Stevens When his iPhone buzzed, Mike clicked ?send? on his message to Jake and shifted to the phone to answer it. He knew it was his mom from the i.d. and wondered what she wanted. ?Hi mom? He would be seeing her later in the day, and for the whole weekend on the island, so he wasn?t sure why she needed to talk now. ?Hi Honey. I need a favor, or actually, John needs a favor.? John was her husband but not his father, and that term, even step-father was never used when talking about him. ?On your way to the ferry, could you swing by and pick up Danny at school? I have to go into the city to get John and I?m running out of time.? ?Ok mom.? He?d already switched back to messages, and Jake had posted a photo that made his dick twitch. He was hardly listening to her now. He was planning his reply. ?He promised he?s be on the steps at 2 o?clock and?? She stopped when she realized that he?d already said he would do it. ?OK then that?s really great. I?ll see you on the boat at 3. Just board when you get there. We?ll just make it in time. Danny?s expecting you.? When Danny?s dad married Mike?s mother Danny was 9 and Mike was 15. He was an ok kid, but he was a kid, and Mike was surging into adolescence. They spent summers on the island, not exactly together, but they eventually became friends. Danny was 14 now, and on his way to becoming a very hot young man. For a long time, in his private moments, Mike spent his horny thoughts beating off, and one day came to the realization that when he looked at porn, it was the guy he was looking at. He occasionally thought about Danny. Now there was Jake. Mike and Jake were both on the swim team and one afternoon Mike had been admiring the way Jake filled up his speedo. Jake had a habit of tugging at it that made it hang a little low in the front and show a little of the ?treasure trail? that he was so proud of. Mike had stared too long, and Jake caught it. He also caught the boner that was pushing out Mike?s speedo just before he slipped into the water. Both boys took a few extra laps at the end of practice so that the locker room would clear out little, then they took their time soaping up in the shower room. When they were finally alone, Jake took the initiative. ?You probably think I?m gonna tease you and then yell ?Faggot? when you take the bait. Well Mikey, I?m gonna show you that I won?t do that.? He turned the boy to face the stream of water. When the soap was rinsed away, he took Mike?s growing boner into his mouth and gave it a good long tongue massage. Jake stood up and the boys were face to face. Mike was speechless; the touch of Jake?s lips around his penis was beyond his wildest dreams. ?I?I?? he stammered. Jake put a finger to his lips. ?No talking? he said quietly. And he kissed the other boy. Since that afternoon they had eagerly explored each other?s bodies with fingers and lips and tongues. When they weren?t touching, they were texting. His phone clicked with another message from Jake ?Well?? he was asking, and clearly expecting something in reply. Mike had just come in from soccer practice, so he slipped off his damp jersey and tugged down his shorts to reveal bulging jockstrap. He clicked a closeup of his midsection, added ?How?s this?? and hit send. Jake replied with a full-body mirror shot and Mike sent off another jockstrap shot with his hard-on peeking over the waistband. He was just about to start stroking the he realized that he had used up his shower time, and would have to get going right then if he was going to make the ferry. He slipped his shorts the rest of the way off and grabbed his jeans. He could shower later. Luckily he had already put some stuff into his backpack, so he was out the door fast enough that he could get Danny and make the boat in time. As promised, Danny was standing on the front steps of Founder?s Hall when Mike pulled around the circular drive. He chucked his backpack in the back and hopped in the front. ?Hey kid? said Mike. ?Hey? said Danny, and they fist-bumped with their own code of greeting. ?Thanks for picking me up. Your mom was all in a tizzy about getting my dad and getting to the boat.? Neither of the boys had ever taken to calling the new parent Mom or Dad. Usually they used first names, and together they were just the grownups. The ride was quiet and it wasn't until they were settled on the ferry that they started to catch up on things. Danny went on and on about how coach was helping him work out. In fact, when they had gotten jostled together in the ticket line, Mike had already noticed that Danny seemed a little more solid than he was in the summer. The boy is growing up, he thought. Although he had never made a move on Danny, he did like watching him, and since they shared a room and a bathroom, there was plenty of time for that. When the departure horn blew and the engine surged, both boys realized that their parents were going to miss the boat. It wasn?t a disaster because there was one more boat that evening, but the boys knew it would give them something to razz the grownups on all weekend. They smiled as they waited for the text message that would give them the news. they laughed when it came; it was just a sad emoticon. When they cleared the breakwater the ferry surged into the rolling waves; the wind had picked up and it would be a rough crossing. By the time they were pulling into the dock, it had started to rain, and the boys were not looking forward to the mile walk to the cottage. They arrived soaked to the skin and while the walking had helped keep them warm, once inside the cottage the shivering set in. ?Fire? said Mike, and they set about getting a blaze going in the big stone fireplace. As the flames grew, they both stood as close to it as they could without getting scorched. Mike stripped off his wet shirt and when the heat on his bare skin felt so good, he started to peel off his soggy jeans too. About half way down his thighs, Mike realized that Danny was staring at him. He looked down and remembered that he was still wearing his jock strap. ?What?? he said, I had to get dressed fast after practice!? Now standing nearly naked in front of the fire, he preened and stretched with pleasure. ?Get those damp clothes off Danny. You?ll warm up quicker. Danny paused for a moment, but he had been naked around Mike before. In fact, Danny had secretly watched his step brother undress, and more than once caught him beating off after they?d gone to bed. Those moments had fueled Danny?s fun under the sheets too. And, he thought, maybe Mike will notice that I have been working out. So he did a slow strip. He unbuttoned carefully and eased the long sleeves down his arms. He stopped and warmed his hands in front of the fire. The flickering light cast shadows of his nipples and abs across his white tee shirt until peeled it up and over his head. His smooth skin glowed in the firelight as he basked in the heat. ?You were right? he said to Mike, ?this is much better. He sat on the edge of the raised hearth to untie his sneakers and tossed them on the floor. He stood up to push his damp jeans down his thighs but didn?t notice that he had slid his jockeys down too. When he sat down to pull the jeans he was startled when his cheeks hit the cold stone and as soon as he had yanked the jeans off, he stood up and pulled the jockeys up to cover his ass. Mike watched Danny?s strip tease with growing interest. Danny began to preen in the heat of the fire. His jockeys were scrunched small and then he practiced some of the flexing exercised that Coach was teaching him. After a few moves, Mike interrupted. ?Danno! Where has this body come from? Holy crap! you are going to be a hunk!? With his reverie interrupted, Danny quickly assumed an aw-shucks shrug. ?Yeah, Coach has me working out a lot. Danny looked down at his body demurely, and realized that he was poking out a serious boner. He quickly looked up at Mike to see if he had been caught and covered himself quickly. As his eyes scanned up Mike?s body to look he noticed that Mike was pushing out a significant bulge himself. Danny had turned away from Mike to hide his boner and now it was Mike?s turn to move. He stepped a little closer to the handsome boy standing in the firelight and rested his hands lightly on the boy?s shoulders. He inched closer until he was standing right behind him. His fingers slid down Danny?s shoulders and stopped when he reached his wrist. He laced his fingers between the boy?s. ?Danny? he said quietly, ?I think we?ve got something going on here.? They stood like that for several heartbeats, then Mike?s fingers started sliding around the top edge of Danny?s jockeys. His fingertips touched just below the boy?s bellybutton and fingered around it. Danny could feel the texture of Mike?s jockstrap pushing between his cheeks, arms around his torso and the warmth of his chest against his back. He took a sharp breath and pushed away so he could turn around and face Danny. He fully expected to plant a kiss full on his step brother?s lips, but something unexpected happened. As he turned their boners banged against each other. Both boys pulled away like they?d been goosed in the locker room, and then they laughed; the tension was broken! They looked each other up and down and and then each came forward and into each other?s arms. Now it was time for that kiss. Their lips met and it was a slow voyage of discovery. At first it was just lips to lips as they hugged. There were more tentative kisses and an exploration around to the side, where Nick nibbled and licked at Danny?s earlobe. Danny squirmed and Nick realized the power of his tongue. He returned to Danny?s mouth which was open with a moan of pleasure. He licked the boy?s lips and then met them his own lips, sliding his tongue shyly in. Danny felt the probe, and responded. Each tongue gently pushed at the boundaries until the combatants gave in and opened to the other. Probing tongues dueled and then fell back, only to attack again. Finally they pulled away and began to explore other areas. When they were distracted by a rising phone, they pulled apart as if they had been caught in the act. When it rang again, they realized it was just the phone, and rushed to answer it. ?Hi Mom? gasped Mike, he was still breathing hard. ?What?s up?? Mike listened intently and said ?It?s ok, Mom, we?ll be fine. See you tomorrow.? Danny?s eyes widened ?They?re not coming?? ?Nope. Night boat got cancelled. Heavy waves and rain.? Both boys were silent as they let this news sink in. ?They hope we?ll be ok.? More quiet as the reality of being alone all night sank in. ?We?ll be much better than ok.? Smiled Danny, and he snaked his arms around Mike?s waist hooking his finger into the back of the jockstrap and giving it a little snap. ?Where were we?? he asked coyly.
