Chapter
19 – A Minor Problem.
As soon as they got off the bus, Tyler and Jacob came running over to the car.
"Great game!" I told them, as they were throwing their gear in the trunk.
"Thanks," Tyler replied. "Jacob helped me big time on that last out though."
"Yep, he pulled your bacon out of the fire with that catch," I agreed. Both boys just smiled at my turn of phrase.
"Couldn't let the guy do that to my main man," Jacob quipped, as the boys were climbing into the car. I immediately wondered if his comment was an indication of what might follow. His 'main man' in what way?
Once we reached the house, Tyler asked if they could use the shower in the master bath, so I knew he wasn't about to waste any time before they started celebrating. I gave him the go ahead, so both boys raced up the stairs to Tyler's room to drop off their things and undress.
I left them pretty much alone and stayed downstairs with the little ones. I also began fixing lunch for all of us, but Ethan and Marcus were already eating before Jacob and Tyler wandered down to join us. Tyler and Jacob's cheeks were slightly flushed, which hadn't been the case when I last saw them, so I figured they must have had a bit of a workout. They were also in a very upbeat mood, which could have been a carryover from the game, but I had a feeling there was more to it than just their baseball victory. I wasn't about to pry though and merely set the food out for them.
"Is there anything in particular you boys might like to do today?" I asked when they were done eating.
"We kind of promised Ethan and Marcus we'd play video games with them for a while," Tyler answered.
"How about tonight after dinner then?" I followed, since I didn't know if they had anything else planned.
"I'm not sure about that," Tyler responded, while glancing at Jacob for support. "We'll have to think about it and let you know a little later."
"Just let me know as soon as you can," I replied. "Please don't wait until the last minute or I might not have time to work things out for what you want to do."
They said they would let me know fairly soon, so I started to think about a few other things I still had to deal with. First of all, the boys would be off for spring break in a couple of weeks, but I would still have to work. Coach Hendricks also told me the team would be having practices in the afternoon all that week too. This meant I'd not only need to make arrangements for someone to watch Ethan and Marcus during that time, but I'd have to find a way to get Tyler to and from his practices as well. I could always take some time off from work, which I didn't really want to do, although I was hoping to do something special for the boys on the weekend.
While I was thinking about these things, Tyler and Jacob came back to speak with me. From the expressions on their faces, I quickly determined it looked as if they had come up with an idea for what they wanted to do later.
"Uncle Blake, we just found out that Jumpstreet Indoor Trampoline is having a special tonight," Tyler told me. "They've got a 2-hour deal for half price. What do you think? Can we go there?"
"Go get your brothers and I'll see what they think of that idea," I suggested, so Tyler and Jacob left to go find Ethan and Marcus.
Of course the two younger boys were interested in doing this as well, so I began to plan a slightly earlier dinner. This would allow me enough time to take them there afterward, even though I knew the place was open until 10:00 on Saturday. It wasn't as if we had to hurry, but I didn't want to keep the little ones out too late. Even though it was a weekend, I didn't want them to get out of their routine either.
The boys then went to the family room to play video games, while I finished what I'd been doing. Then, I went to the kitchen to see what I was going to fix for dinner. I finally decided on stew and dumplings, so I began putting everything together.
After we finished eating, I made the boys let their meal digest for a while first, before I took them to Jumpstreet. I knew they'd be doing a lot of bouncing around and didn't want any of them to end up puking in the process. Once we were inside, I took Ethan and Marcus over to the 'Earthquake Kids Zone', while Tyler and Jacob went to try out the Trampoline Basketball area. They wanted to see what it would be like to dunk a basketball, since the trampoline would help them get high enough to do it.
The boys not only had a blast, but even better than that, they tired themselves out. After Ethan and Marcus had done all kinds of jumps, flips and bounces on the trampoline, they wanted to go over to see what Tyler and Jacob were doing. When we got there, that pair was eager to show us how they could dunk the basketball through the net. They also wanted us to see how they had been working on doing an alley-oop dunk too. That's when one person throws a lob pass close to the rim, so the other one can grab it and slam it through the hoop. It's all in the timing and both boys wanted to do this for us.
As soon as the younger pair saw them doing this, they wanted to try dunking the basketball too, but they couldn't quite accomplish it on their own. After a few pathetic attempts, the older boys agreed to bounce with them and then lift the younger boy up so he could slam the basketball through the hoop too. It was cute to watch and all four of them had fun working together.
When we got home, the boys were all hot and sweaty, so they had to get cleaned up before heading to bed. I sent Tyler and Jacob to use the shower in the master bath again, while I gave the younger pair baths in their bathroom. Ethan and Marcus almost fell asleep before they got their pajamas on and their heads weren't on their pillows very long before they were in Dreamland.
Before I turned in for the night, I went over to say goodnight to Tyler and Jacob first. I felt I had given them quite a bit of time to finish up and get decent, but I still knocked on Tyler's bedroom and only entered after he told me to come in. I guess I needn't have bothered though, because once the door was open I discovered Tyler and Jacob were both naked and the towels they had been using were lying on the floor. Since they didn't seem to be bothered by my presence, I wished them both sweet dreams before going back across the hall to my bedroom. I was pretty sure they were getting ready to do something sexual, so I was happy to give them some privacy.
Just as Tyler and Dylan had done, Tyler and Jacob slept in the next morning and didn't come down for breakfast until it was almost 11:00. They had put their underwear on first, so I was grateful they'd done that much. As soon as I saw them, I asked if they would prefer breakfast or lunch, since it was so late already, and they both said breakfast. While they were eating, I asked Jacob a question.
"What time do you have to be home?" I wondered.
"My parents said they'd pick me up on the way back from church," he informed me. "I was really surprised they let me skip going with them today, because they make me go every Sunday. If they're going to let me do this, then I may have to stay over at someone's house every Saturday night."
Jacob laughed after saying this, but I knew he didn't have much time to horse around.
"I'd suggest you get moving then," I offered. "It's almost noon, so they shouldn't be too much longer."
"They will if they went to our church," he quipped back. "The minister hardly ever finishes before 12:30. That's why I'd rather not go."
Still, as soon as he finished eating, I sent him upstairs to get dressed and grab his things. I had him put everything near the front door, so he'd be ready when his parents arrived. I figured after spending so much time in church, his mom and dad would be eager to get home so they could eat and relax for a while.
I spent a few minutes chatting with Jacob's parents when they arrived and they thanked me for letting their son spend the night. I told them Jacob was always welcome and I was glad Tyler and he had become friends. They said they were glad too and then Jacob's dad helped his son carry his things to the car.
A short time after Jacob left, Tyler asked to speak with me in private again. I could tell something was on his mind, so I quickly agreed and we found a quiet spot to be alone.
"Jacob has a lot more experience with the sex stuff than I do," Tyler began, and I knew something out of the ordinary must have happened the previous night. "He said he did stuff with an older guy last summer, so he wanted to do things that I wasn't ready to try yet."
I looked at him strangely, but didn't say anything for a few seconds. I wanted to see if he was going to explain, but when he didn't, I decided to prod him.
"What exactly did he want to do that you didn't?" I asked, but I felt I probably already knew the answer.
"He wanted to fuck me, but I told him I wasn't ready to do that yet," he responded. "In fact, I told him I wasn't sure if I'd ever be ready to do that."
"I see," I commented, since I didn't want to say anything that would alter what he might offer next.
"I didn't really mean it, because I know I want to do it, but I want to do it with you first," Tyler continued. "I want to do everything with you first, before I do it with anyone else, but I might only do that with you."
He looked up and I could see the expectation and hope in his eyes. I think he wanted me to assure him that I'd do it with him, but I didn't think he was ready for anything like that yet.
"Well, would you do it with me?" he finally asked, since I hadn't said anything.
"Not right away," I replied. "Maybe later, when you're body has fully matured, but definitely not yet. I'll pick up some dildos for you to use, if you want. I'll select them in sizes closer to what you and Dylan are like when you're hard, along with some lube. Then you can practice with them if you want, but I'd suggest you do it with Dylan first, if you can't wait. I'm glad you turned Jacob down though, because he's hung almost as well as I am and I don't think that would be good for your first time."
"But I want to do it with you!" Tyler persisted, looking slightly disappointed.
"Then you'll have to wait until I think you're ready," I offered, but that wasn't what Tyler wanted to hear.
"What are dildos?" he snapped back. "Are those the fake dicks that women sometimes use?"
"Yes, but gay guys use them too," I pointed out. "I'll buy you a few different sizes, if you want, and you can practice starting with the smallest one first and then work your way up to the larger ones. It will stretch you out and get you used to having something up there."
"I don't want a plastic or rubber dick in my butt!" Tyler shouted back. "I want your dick!"
Then you'll have to wait," I repeated. "This is the best way and all I'm willing to do for now, but only if you're interested in it."
Tyler didn't say anything and turned around in disgust, before storming out of the room. He then went up to his bedroom and slammed the door. It appeared I hadn't told him what he wanted to hear, so he wasn't pleased with my response. I'm sorry about that, but throwing a pout and acting like a brat didn't mean he'd get what he wanted.
Ethan and Marcus came out a little while later and wanted to know if we were going to the park to practice baseball. I told them I'd be willing to do that and then I sent Marcus upstairs to see if Tyler wanted to join us.
"He says he doesn't want to go," Marcus stated, when he came downstairs again. "He seems mad about something. Did Jacob and Tyler have a fight?"
"I don't think so," I answered lamely. "They seemed to be getting along fine while they were eating breakfast, so maybe Tyler is just tired."
"Well he doesn't want to go, but we do," Marcus urged. "It's his problem if he wants to stay here by himself."
Marcus had a point and I felt I could leave Tyler home alone for the short time we'd be gone. After having the younger pair grab their gear, we hopped in the car and I drove them to the park.
Luckily, there were a couple of other boys there that Marcus knew, so we let them join us. This was so Marcus and Ethan didn't have to do as much running around as they might have had to do if they were alone. It took us a little longer to get through everything because of this, but I think all of the boys were happy afterward.
When we got home, Tyler was in the kitchen getting a drink, but as soon as he saw me he headed back up to his room. I guess he definitely wanted to make sure I knew he was upset with my decision, but I wasn't about to give in.
Later, I sent Ethan up to get Tyler for dinner and he came skulking down, with a very sour look on his face. I didn't say anything about it, and although the younger pair tried to talk to him, he only gave them very curt responses. They soon realized it would be better to leave him alone, so we all ate in absolute silence for the rest of the meal.
Tyler went back to his room afterward, so I spent the evening with the younger pair. We sat and watched TV together, before I took them upstairs for their baths and put them to bed. Once that was done, I went downstairs to make sure everything was shut off and the doors were locked. Then I went up to my room for the evening.
I heard Tyler in the shower as I went by and then I heard the water shut off, followed by the sound of Tyler's feet padding down the hallway. I was reading my book and didn't look up, until I heard him clear his throat. He had the towel wrapped around his waist and was standing at the foot of my bed.
"Are you sure you won't do that with me?" he asked, with the most pathetic expression plastered across his face.
"I'm sure," I confirmed. "I'll have oral sex with you once in a while, but that's the most I will do with you for now."
"Will you at least let me do it back to you then?" he pressed, since he realized I wasn't going to give in about his other request. "I've done it with Dylan and Jacob, so I know I can do it to you too."
"I'd be willing to make that concession, if it will make you happy," I agreed, which brought a slight smile to his face.
"But not the other?" he followed, and I merely shook my head in response. "Ok, then you'd better get those things for me. You can get them from Dylan's size up to your size, because I want to prove to you that I can do it and you won't hurt me."
"I'll agree to buy those for you, but I'll only give you the two smallest for a while," I confessed. "When you think you're ready, then come and see me and I'll give you one more at a time until you have them all. You'll have to agree to do this at my pace though or I won't get them for you. I certainly don't want to be having constant fights with you over this."
"Ok, if we can suck each other off in between," he conceded. Then he looked at me hopefully to see my response.
"On special occasions," I relented. "Just not whenever you want."
"I guess that's better than not at all," he groaned, as he rolled his eyes.
"And maybe you and Dylan can practice on each other with anal sex, once you've used the dildos for a while," I suggested, only to see him make a face in response.
"I told you that I want to do everything with you first," he reminded me. "I'll only do it with Dylan and Jacob AFTER I've done it with you."
"That's up to you, but you could still have the fun you want with Dylan, until I think you're ready for me," I reiterated, only to see him shake his head.
"Nope. Not until I've done it with you," he repeated, before he came over to give me a kiss goodnight. "Do you think maybe we could suck each other off tonight?" he wanted to know, after he'd kissed me.
"I think you've done enough with Jacob this weekend to hold you over, but maybe next weekend, if you still want to do this," I offered.
"Oh I'll want to," he confirmed, "but I'd like to do it now too."
"What if I compromise and let you sleep with me tonight instead," I suggested. "Will that suffice and make you feel better?"
"Sure, but I'm sleeping with you without anything on," he agreed, as he dropped his towel.
I wasn't going to argue over this minor stipulation and merely nodded. He hurried over to turn off the light in his bedroom and then raced back to climb into bed beside me. I closed my book, set it on the nightstand and turned off the lamp. Then, I reached my arm under his shoulders, as he rolled on his side and laid his head on my shoulder. After that, he placed his arm across my chest and draped his leg over mine, as he got comfortable. I could also feel his erect penis stabbing me in the leg and knew that must have happened after he got into bed with me and began to cuddle. He certainly wasn't hard before that, but I merely pretended I didn't notice. Before long, I felt it start to deflate and then I heard his gentle breathing, which told me he'd fallen asleep.
I know I'd given in to him again, but not nearly as much as he wanted. I just did it to show him it wasn't that I didn't love him, but there were some things he'd just have to wait for. I'd already resigned myself to the fact that I'll eventually do it with him, but I'd prefer he was a little older first. I've mentioned before that I'm not usually attracted to boys, but there's something about Tyler that's different. Even so, my brain still advises me it would be wrong to do these things with him now, so I'll try to hold off until he's a little older. We're not related by blood, so I don't have that to deal with, but there is the age problem. I don't mean the age difference, but just that he's so young. Maybe I'll eventually come to grips with it, but I'm not ready to do that just yet.
Monday and Tuesday quickly saw us resort back to our normal routine again. Tyler only had practices those days and wouldn't have another game until Wednesday. It was going to be a home game, so the boys and I would get to watch Tyler play again. I knew he probably wouldn't be pitching this time, since his coach seemed to only want to start him every other game. He might be called to the mound in the later innings to relieve the starter though, if whoever was pitching got into trouble, was tired or hurting.
Tuesday afternoon, Tyler seemed to be very upbeat when I saw him after practice. I watched as he said goodbye to Dylan and Jacob, because they all came out the front door of the school at the same time. Tyler then he came over and got in the car, but he didn't say anything, so I did.
"It must have been a good practice, since you all seem so upbeat tonight," I stated, as he buckled in.
"Yeah, it wasn't bad and the team we're going to play tomorrow isn't doing that well," he offered. "Coach Hendricks told Crawford he was going to start."
"I didn't think you'd be pitching anyway," I concurred. "Your coach usually rotates you every other game, which are the odd number games. You pitched the first one, the third and fifth so far, but Wednesday will be your team's sixth game."
"Yeah, I know," he agreed. "I wasn't upset or anything. Just telling you."
"Ok. I just wanted to be sure," I replied.
Tyler seemed to be in a better mood tonight, so I guess he'd resigned himself to abide by the agreement we'd made Sunday night. Either that or he was just very focused on tomorrow's game. I was just happy to see him being his normal, upbeat self again. Hopefully, what happened on Sunday only occurred because Jacob had tried to push Tyler into doing something he wasn't ready for yet. At least that's what I hoped.
I hurried home on Wednesday evening to pick up Ethan and Marcus and then I drove to the school to watch the game. Tyler was right about this team - they weren't very good. By the top of the fourth inning Tyler's team had an 18 - 0 lead, so it looked as if the game would be called in the middle of the fifth inning. Tyler was already 3 for 3 tonight and had batted in each of the first 3 innings.
When they came out in the top of the fourth, the coach made some changes. He put Dylan in to pitch for Crawford, because Dylan had been begging to give it a try. Crawford and Tyler then came out of the game, so some of the subs were going to get a chance to play. Jamal moved over from third to short, Stanton came in to play third and Jon went to second base for Dylan.
Dylan didn't do badly, but he was a little wild at the start. After walking the first two batters he faced, he got the next two out before giving up a hit, which allowed the other team to score a run. Then, he got the next batter to fly out to Jose in right field.
Tyler's team came up to bat in the bottom of the fourth, with six of the starters on the bench, but they still scored two more runs. I was glad to see those boys doing so well, since they didn't get as much playing time as some of the others.
Dylan did much better in the top of the fifth. He got the first batter to ground out to Jamal at short, the next flew out to Paul in center and then the third batter grounded out to Jon at second, which was Dylan's normal position. Once that half of the inning was over, the game ended and Tyler's team won 20 - 1.
After the boys slapped hands with the other team, Tyler stopped to speak with some of his teammates first, before he came over to join us. Then we walked to the car and drove home.
"I'm glad Dylan got to pitch a little," Tyler stated, as we pulled away from the school.
"He did ok, but he needs a little more work," I stated.
"Do you think you could work with him then?" Tyler asked, as he looked at me hopefully.
"If that's what Dylan wants, but I don't want you to push him into anything," I agreed, although hesitantly.
"I'm not!" Tyler exclaimed. "When I told Dylan he looked pretty good for his first time pitching, he said he'd be better if he had someone like you to help him. Then he wanted to know if I thought you'd do that for him. I told him I'd check with you and find out, but it was his idea, not mine."
"Ok, in that case you can tell him we can do something this weekend then," I suggested. "You have a game on Friday, so maybe after your practice on Saturday."
"Yeah, that sounds good," Tyler agreed. "Do you think maybe he could stay over too, so you could work with him on both Saturday and Sunday?"
"I suppose that would be alright, as long as his parents don't have a problem with it," I agreed.
"Great!" Tyler exclaimed, while grinning broadly. "I'll tell Dylan tomorrow so he can check with his mom and dad."
Since that had been taken care of, the rest of the night was fairly uneventful.
On Friday, Tyler had his next home game. After picking up the younger boys and taking them to the field, my first surprise was that Tyler wasn't pitching. This was the team's seventh game, and since Tyler had pitched every other odd numbered game, I expected he would be on the mound tonight. Seeing he wasn't, I began to wonder if there was a problem. Wasn't he feeling well? Was his arm sore? What was wrong?
Tyler must have noted my confusion, because he waved for me to come over to the bench. When I walked up to him, he quickly explained.
"The coach wants me to pitch the next game instead," he stated, without any indication that he was bothered or upset by the change. "He says this team isn't as good as the team we'll be playing next and that one is supposed to be almost as good as the other tough team we've played so far. Coach said he wants me to pitch that game instead."
"Oh, ok. That sounds fine," I agreed, feeling relieved. "I was just concerned when I saw you weren't pitching, because I thought you might be ill or maybe something else was wrong."
"Nah, I feel great," he confirmed, so I went back to sit with the boys and watched the game.
I soon discovered this team wasn't as bad as Tyler had indicated and it turned out to be a fairly close game. Trent pitched this time and it appeared that whatever problem he'd been suffering from during his last outing had either healed or been taken care of. Since Trent was pitching, it meant Tyler was playing center field.
Even though Trent got the first two batters he faced out easily, the third batter managed to get a hit. He was the only one to get on base though and didn't score. That's because the cleanup batter flew out to Jacob in left field.
In the bottom of the inning, the first three batters for our team each made an out too. Dylan grounded out to third, Nathan flew out to the center fielder and Trent flew out to left. They had all hit the ball fairly well, but the other team did a good job defensively.
In the second inning, Trent walked the second batter that came to the plate, but none of the other batters were able to do anything against him. Once again, the opposing team ended up stranding a runner and didn't score.
Tyler led off the bottom of the second with a single up the middle and then Jacob flew out to the center fielder next, so Tyler couldn't advance. Crawford followed with an infield hit, so now there were runners on first and second. Jamal then laid down a bunt along the third base line and the only chance the fielder had for an out was at first. Jamal, proved to be too fast for that though, so now the bases were loaded. Antonio then hit a fly ball to right that was caught, but it was deep enough for Tyler to score and Crawford to advance. Jamal didn't want to risk getting thrown out trying to get to second, so he stayed at first. With runners on the corners, Curtis grounded out to the second baseman for the final out of the inning, but Tyler's team was ahead 1 - 0.
In the third inning, the other team got two hits, but ended up stranding both runners again. They had men on first and third with only one out, but couldn't manage to score. It was mostly due to great defense by Tyler's teammates, so the other team had now left four runners on base.
When Tyler's team came up to bat again, Dylan and Nathan both hit singles, which put runners on first and third. Trent then struck out, which brought Tyler up to bat. He hit a long fly ball to center that was caught, but Dylan tagged up at third and scored. Jacob then hit a liner over short, so runners were now on first and second. Crawford followed by hitting a bullet to third, but the third baseman caught the ball and ended the inning. Although they had a chance to score more, Tyler's team was only up 2 - 0.
In the fourth inning, the other team's first batter struck out and then the second batter walked. The next batter bunted him down to second and was thrown out at first. Then, the following batter hit a long fly ball to center, but Tyler was able to run it down for the final out.
Jamal led off the bottom of the inning for Tyler's team and hit a line drive that the first baseman caught. Then, Antonio walked and D'Wayne laid down a bunt to advance him. The other team made a bad decision and tried to get Antonio out at second, but the throw was late. This meant there were runners on first and second with just one out. Dylan was up next and hit a ball to left field, but the outfielder made a sliding, shoestring catch. Since the runners thought the ball was going to drop in, they went halfway to the next base and then had to retreat, so neither runner advanced. Nathan followed that up with a little blooper to right, which looked as if it might fall in as well. The other team's second baseman was able to chase it down and pulled off an unbelievable over the shoulder catch for the third out.
The top of the fifth started off shaky when Trent walked the first two batters. Then the next batter hit a grounder to Crawford at short and he flipped the ball to Dylan at second for the force. Dylan was taken out as he attempted to make the relay throw to first, but he still managed to get the ball there in time to complete the 6-4-3 double play. This left a runner on third with two outs. The next batter hit a fly ball to right-center, but Antonio was fast enough to get to it and made the running catch for the final out of the inning.
Trent led off the bottom of the fifth with a double to right center and that brought Tyler up next. He followed with a double to left center, which scored Trent. Jacob then hit a single between first and second, but it gave Tyler enough time to tear around third and slide home for the second run of the inning. Crawford then hit a hard grounder to the right of the bag at second, but the second baseman was able to get to it and he touched the bag at second with his glove for the force out. Stanton then hit a grounder to third, which the other team turned into a 5-4-3 double play to end the inning, but Tyler's team was now going into the sixth inning ahead 4 - 0.
The first batter for the other team fouled the second pitch into the dirt beside home plate and the ball bounced into the air. Nathan reacted instinctively and reached out to grab it with his bare hand, but it turned out to be an unfortunate move on his part. The ball came up with enough force to bend Nathan's thumb backward when it made contact, so he was unable to control it. As soon as the ball touched Nathan's hand, the umpire called foul ball, but Nathan was grimacing in obvious pain and grabbed his wrist.
After Coach Hendricks ran over to check on Nathan, he reported that he didn't think Nathan's thumb was broken, but felt it might be either jammed or dislocated instead. Since Nathan couldn't continue playing, the coach told Carlos to help Nathan get out of the catcher's gear and then put it on. Coach Hendricks also had Nathan's parents drive their son to the emergency room so he could have his hand x-rayed, as a precautionary measure.
Once Carlos got behind the plate, the lead off batter stepped up to continue his turn at bat and ended up grounding out to Crawford at short. Then, the second batter flew out to Jacob in left. With two outs, the next batter hit a sinking liner toward center field. When the ball hit the ground it took a weird bounce and skipped past Tyler, so he had to turn around and chase after it. By the time he reached the ball and threw it to the cutoff man, the batter was already standing on third base with a triple. The next batter then hit a little blooper over Stanton's head at third, which fell in for a single and scored the other team's first run. After that, the next batter grounded out to D'Wayne at first, so the inning ended with Tyler's team leading 4 - 1.
In the bottom of the sixth, Jose was up first. After fouling off several pitches, he hung in there long enough to finally get a walk. That brought up D'Wayne and he tried to bunt Jose down to second. After bunting the pitch foul twice, the coach let him swing away and he struck out. Jon then came in to bat for Dylan and he not only bunted Jose down to second, but he beat out the throw to first too, which put men on first and second base with one out. Carlos was up next and got fooled badly on a 2 - 2 pitch, which he took for a called third strike.
With two outs, Trent hit a rocket to third and it got to the third baseman so quickly that he wasn't able to handle it. The ball smacked off his glove and bounced into foul territory, so the kid had to chase after it. By the time he retrieved the ball, all of the runners were safe, so the bases were now loaded as Tyler stepped up to the plate. He hit the ball solidly, but it was right at the left fielder and the boy handled it easily to end the inning.
Tyler's team was going into the top of the last inning still up 4 - 1, but Trent suddenly developed some control issues and walked the first batter. After Coach Hendricks went out to the mound to give him some advice and get him settled down, Trent started to do better. He threw a strike to the next batter and then the kid hit the following pitch to Jon at second. Jon handled the ball smoothly and tossed the ball to Crawford at second for the force out, which left a runner on first with one out. The next batter hit a fly ball to Paul in left and it appeared as if he had misjudged its trajectory, so the ball was going to drop in for a hit. Luckily, he was able to recover in time to make the catch for the second out of the inning. The base runner, however, thought the ball was going to drop in too, so he took off running. He came to a screeching halt when Paul hauled it in, but Paul made a good relay throw to Crawford and he whirled and fired a strike to first to double off the runner for the game's final out.
Appreciating how well the other team had played, Tyler's team went out of their way to congratulate their opponents for giving them such a tough game. They had underestimated this team and ended up with more of a battle than they'd expected. In fact, they were actually lucky the other team had stranded seven base runners or else their opponents might have been victorious. Then again, Tyler's team had stranded nine runners, so I guess it could have gone either way.
When Tyler came over to me later, I just looked at him and shook my head in disbelief. "If the team you just played was supposed to be easier than the next team you're scheduled to face, then you're going to have your hands full next Tuesday," I pointed out.
"I know and we're practicing tomorrow morning too," Tyler advised me. "I certainly hope Nathan's alright, because we'll need him if the other team is as good as the other coaches say."
"I hope Nathan's ok too," I concurred. "His thumb didn't look that bad when I saw it while his father was examining it, but you never know until it's x-rayed. At least he'll be able to take it easy over the weekend and just observe your practice tomorrow. Then, if he isn't hurt too badly. he'll be able to practice with the team on Monday and still be eligible to play on Tuesday."
"Yeah, I hope that's what happens, because I'm used to pitching to Nathan," Tyler commented. "I've never pitched to Carlos before, so I don't want to find out that he does things differently behind the plate, especially when we're going to be facing a really good team."
Tyler then went over to speak with Paul next, because Paul was Nathan's closest friend on the team. Tyler wanted to ask Paul to call him as soon as he found out how Nathan made out, so he'd know if Nathan would be able to play in the next game. While Tyler was doing that, I went over to speak with Dylan's parents. Not only did I want to arrange for Dylan to come home with us after practice tomorrow, so I could work with him on his pitching, but I had something else I wanted to discuss with them too. I was going to offer to work with Dylan over spring break as well, and he could even stay over a couple of nights when we did this, as long as they would give Tyler a ride to his practices that week.
Cherie, Dylan's mom, said she'd be happy to do that for us, since she didn't work. I was going to offer to pick the boys up afterward, but I didn't know the practice times for that week. Since the boys wouldn't be in school the practices might finish earlier than I could get there, but Cherie said she understood and had no problem with picking them up too. She also stated that Dylan and Tyler could let her know which days Dylan was going to work with me and I told her I'd bring him home on those nights, if she didn't want him to stay over.
When Tyler and Dylan came back to join us, Dylan asked his mother if he could spend Saturday night with us, so I could work with him on both Saturday and Sunday. She quickly agreed that would be fine, as long as I was willing to go along with the idea too. She also stated that Dylan would have to be home by 3:00 on Sunday, so she and her husband would be able to spend some time with him too. Dylan didn't have a problem with his mother's stipulation and happily assured her that would be fine.
I then rounded up the other boys so we could head home. After we got in the car, I could tell something was on Tyler's mind, because he kept glancing over and giving me strange looks the entire time. His actions made me conclude that he wanted to say or ask something, but didn't want his brothers to overhear whatever it was. Once he got me alone in the house, he finally revealed what was bothering him.
"If Dylan is staying over with us tomorrow night, then we're going to have to do what you promised tonight," he told me.
He looked extremely concerned that I wasn't going to honor the request I'd already agreed to, but since I had a feeling this might be what was bothering him, I quickly agreed with his suggestion. After hearing my answer, Tyler contentedly bounced into the other room, so he could wait for Paul to call. That didn't happen until after we'd finished eating dinner and then he came to tell me what he'd learned.
"The doctor said Nathan only had a bad sprain and taped it up for him," he announced with a grin. "Paul said the doctor told Nathan to take it easy with that hand over the weekend and then it should be fine by Monday."
"That's great!" I agreed. "Will he be at practice tomorrow?"
"Yeah, Paul said Nathan's going to come so he can explain things to the coach and give him the doctor's release," Tyler informed me. "Paul said Nathan doesn't want to sit out, but he'll just watch the practice and do what the doctor told him. He just doesn't want to miss any games."
"I'm glad to hear that he's going to follow the doctor's advice," I concurred.
Tyler started getting really antsy after that had been cleared up and it seemed as if he could hardly wait to get me alone in the bedroom. I watched as he kept pacing back and forth for the rest of the evening, especially while I was giving Ethan and Marcus their baths and then while I was putting them to bed. He was continually walking up and down the hall and peeking into the different rooms to see what I was doing. In fact, he did it so often that when I finished up with the younger pair, I actually stopped to see if he had damaged the carpet with his constant pacing up and down the hallway. I was convinced that the countless trips he'd made from his room to the top of the stairs and then back again had worn a hole in the rug. Even though my mind was telling me it was impossible, I expected to see the floorboards showing through the hole he had produced in the fabric. Even though it hadn't actually happened, I was convinced he had greatly reduced the life of that section of carpet.
As soon as Tyler and I were alone in my room, he quickly threw off the towel he had wrapped around his waist. Since it was the only thing he'd put on after he got out of the shower, he stood there completely naked. He then started to move closer to me and began pawing at my clothing, as his way of letting me know how eager he was to get started.
"Slow down and take it easy," I advised him. "We've got all night and there's no need to rush."
"Maybe you're not excited about this, but I am," he shot back. "This is the first time you've let me do this to you and I don't want to waste any time before we get started."
"Easy, champ, or you're going to hyperventilate and pass out before we get started," I warned. "Just take it easy and I promise to let you do what you want."
That seemed to calm Tyler down a bit and he stopped trying to rip my clothes off, but he was still somewhat hyper. He even protested that he didn't want me to do anything to him first, but I was afraid that if I didn't he'd spew his load all over the bed while he was working on me. Once he understood my reasoning and concern, he did what I asked.
Even though I performed oral sex on him first, he was still so worked up and emotionally primed that he blew his load in my mouth in a fraction of the time it had taken him during our previous encounters. I had wanted to really give him a workout and let him enjoy it, but that wasn't to be. As soon as he recovered, I let him go to work on me next, much to his relief and enjoyment.
He actually did a lot better than I'd expected. Even though I knew he'd done this with his friends, I still imagined that he'd make at least some of the typical novice mistakes, such as allowing his teeth to scrape against my penis or trying to take too much of it and then end up gagging. Since he didn't do either of those things, I felt he either learned quickly or Dylan and Jacob must have given him enough constructive criticism during their sessions so he was able to improve and avoid those errors. The only thing I did speak to him about was that he was trying to go way too fast. I jokingly warned him if he continued going at that pace then he'd produce enough friction to possibly start a fire, if he didn't pass out first. Seriously though, I thought he might get dizzy and lose consciousness from lifting his head up and down so quickly and frequently. What I should have been worried about was making him laugh after hearing my comment, especially with me being in such a vulnerable position. That's because he nearly bit down my penis when he started to giggle and it forced me to yell at him to be careful. Fortunately, he heard my warning and pulled his head off of it quickly enough so no serious damage was done, but he also got the message. After that, he started going slower and did a much better job.
I also tried to warn him when I was getting close, since I wasn't sure how he'd been handling it with his two friends when they ejaculated. After he heard me say I was about ready to shoot, he merely flicked one wrist at me, to let me know he didn't care and then greedily accepted my offering. I was fairly certain that I produced more semen than either Dylan or Jacob, but I also wasn't sure how he was going to handle the difference in taste. To my surprise, he took it like a pro and never backed off or tried to spit it out.
"That was great!" he exclaimed, once he finally released my penis from his mouth. "You know, I wasn't going to do this with them, but I couldn't exactly have them do it to me and then not return the favor, so you weren't the first person I did this to. I had fun doing it with Dylan and Jacob too, but this was the best."
"Tyler, I'm not exactly sure what you mean by that. Why do you think this was better than what you did with the other two?" I wondered, mildly confused. I just wasn't able to see why he would think this was any different than what he'd done with Dylan and Jacob.
"It was better because we love each other and weren't just doing it to get off," he explained. "I like Dylan and Jacob, so it was still fun, but I love you. That makes what we did special and much better for me, because I knew I was making you feel good and we were making love. I know most people think that only happens when you're fucking, but until you will do that with me too, this will be how we'll make love. I guess that's why I was going so fast at first, because I really wanted to make you feel absolutely fantastic."
That certainly cleared things up and I'm glad he was being mature and taking this so well. I was expecting he might start pestering me about having anal intercourse with him once we did this, but it's not how he reacted. I was pleasantly surprised by this and glad I'd given in to him now.
Since I hadn't been able to do much with Tyler the first time I sucked him off, I decided to do it to him again. He was young and could handle it, so I began working on his body, but this time I was planning to do so much more. Tyler was thrilled that I was offering to do this with him again, but this time I started off by kissing his face and neck first, before moving on to his lips. As soon as I locked on to his mouth, Tyler aggressively responded to what I was doing. His tongue dueled with mine, as we shared the love we felt for each other. For the next half hour, I was able to put aside my concerns about whether this was right or wrong and merely enjoyed the beautiful connection between us.
Once we ended the kiss, I moved down to his chest and started to nip, tweak and suck on his boy nipples. Tyler was squirming and groaning beneath me, as I paid homage to his tiny nubs and then continued to work my way down his chest, as I moved ever closer to his straining prize. After leaving his navel, I bypassed his penis momentarily and worked on his scrotum for a while instead, before I licked my way up his quivering shaft. When I reached the top, I swirled my tongue around the crown, before flicking it into the tiny slit at the end, which was opening and closing like a gasping fish in anticipation. I was prolonging this as much as possible, to make certain his body had enough time to produce another load.
When I finally lowered my mouth over his penis, Tyler began to buck his hips up and down, in an attempt to hasten the process. I knew he was eager to experience another release, but I wanted to show him there was more to the journey than just reaching the final destination. With this in mind, I reached down and gave his testicles a gentle tug and squeeze, in an effort to delay his orgasm. At the same time, I continued to bob up and down on his penis, while working it with my tongue and lips, as I attempted to bring him the maximum amount of pleasure. After listening to him beg me to let him cum, I finally gave in and let him release his load into my mouth. Then, he collapsed on the bed, totally spent.
Now that we had both attained some sexual relief, I turned off the light and Tyler cuddled up against me. After a few seconds of total silence, Tyler finally spoke.
"Thanks, that was even better than I was hoping for," he offered in a barely audible whisper. "I didn't expect you to do it to me a second time, but it was great."
"I'm glad you approve and I enjoyed what you did to me too," I replied. Then he put his head on my shoulder and eventually drifted off to sleep.
I had already set the alarm so I'd be able to wake up early enough to feed the boys and still get Tyler to his practice on time. Even though I should be trying to get as much sleep as possible, I couldn't resist lying there for a while and thinking about everything that had happened tonight. Although I still had more than a few doubts about whether I was doing the right thing, I finally concluded that what we'd done this evening had felt special and wonderful, not wrong and unnatural. Not only had the sex been great, but I think we felt each other's love. it was also really nice to have my angel pressed firmly against my side like this, because I knew it meant he loved me as much as I loved him. I also thought about how much more I was willing to do with him and how soon, until I finally lost consciousness as well.
I awoke before the alarm went off in the morning, so I got out of bed and turned it off, so it didn't go off on its own later. Then, I went into the master bath to relieve myself, washed my hands and sprinkled some water on my face. When I came out again, I saw Tyler was up too. I must have awakened him when I got out of bed and he now came running over to greet me.
"Thank you for last night! It was absolutely wonderful," he gushed, as he wrapped his arms around my chest and gave me a hug. Then he tilted his head upward and gave me a kiss on the lips. "I wish we could do stuff like that all the time."
"We'll do it enough, but you've got baseball practice soon, so we've got to get moving," I prodded. "Dylan will be coming back with us after practice, so you'll be busy with him instead. Why don't you slip something on and then go wake up your brothers for me, while I head down to the kitchen and start fixing breakfast."
As soon as he agreed to do what I'd asked, I went downstairs and fixed the boys scrambled eggs and toast. I didn't want Tyler to have anything too heavy in his stomach before practice, since I wasn't sure how hard his coach was planning on working them. When I saw the boys' reaction to the skimpy fare, I told them I'd make it up to them at lunch. They seemed fine with that and then I had them run upstairs to get dressed, after they finished eating.
Once we were all ready, the two little ones grabbed their gloves and a baseball, before we hopped in the car and headed to the practice field. While Tyler and the team were going through their drills, the two little ones went off to play catch, so I sat down with Nathan to see how he was doing.
"I kinda wish I hadn't reached out to grab that foul ball now," he explained, as he showed me his damaged right thumb. "I guess I was lucky it didn't turn out any worse than this and the doctor said I should keep icing it for the next couple of days. He told me it would help to keep the swelling down and if I could grip the ball well enough to throw it on Monday, then I could practice and play in the game the following day."
"Does it hurt much?" I countered, to see what he had to say.
"It did when it first happened, but not so much any more," he answered. "The ice helps with that too, not just with the swelling, but I'm also taking some heavy-duty Tylenol for the pain. I should be fine by Monday, so I'm not worried."
"I hope so, because Tyler likes pitching to you," I said with a wink.
"I like catching for him too," Nathan agreed. "He doesn't make me jump all around behind the plate, because he pretty much throws the ball where I want it. His pitches move around a lot, but since I know what he's throwing, I know what the ball is going to do. I feel sorry for the batters though, because they aren't ready for most of the stuff that happens when his pitches come in."
"Don't feel too badly for them," I teased. "That's their problem, not ours." Nathan laughed after I'd said this.
"You're right, but I'm glad I don't have to bat against him," he assured me.
Even while we'd been chatting, Nathan still kept an eye on what the team was doing. He quickly got up to join them when the coach called the team in to go over a few things. After Nathan left, I had a little time to think.
I'd always been impressed with Nathan's ability behind the plate, because he wasn't a lazy catcher. He always positioned himself in an active crouch, rather than sitting back on his heels, which is what most young catchers do wrong and where they screw up. Instead, he was always in position so he could move right or left, as well as up or down to block the pitches that were thrown awry in any direction. For that reason, he'd only allowed a couple of passed balls so far and he'd kept a lot of potential wild pitches from getting by him. His great stance and the fact that he was always ready to move was part of the reason he did so well defensively against bunts too. Nathan always reacted quickly when he saw the ball being bunted, but he also positioned himself well when scooping it up, so he was ready to throw the batter out at first.
When practice ended, the boys went to take their showers and Nathan left to spend some time visiting with them. I rounded up Ethan and Marcus, who were still busy throwing each other grounders and flies, and guided them to the car. We'd just barely arrived at the front of the school in time when Tyler and Dylan came rushing outside. I suspected they had only taken a very quick shower today, since they felt they'd be taking another one at our place, which I didn't have a problem with. As soon as they were in the car, I made another quick decision and took the boys out for lunch.

Although the boys in these stories sometimes have unprotected sex, I strongly urge all of you out there to be smart and protect yourselves from various sexually transmitted diseases by using taking appropriate precautions before engaging in sex.
