Chapter
77 - Bringing
In the New Year.
The boys and I got up early the next morning and enjoyed our complimentary breakfast first, before checking out of the motel and starting the long drive home. We stopped to stretched our legs and have lunch along the way, so we didn't get back until late afternoon. After we'd carried everything inside and checked to make sure the Outback was empty, I called Sally and Cherie to let them know we were back, but also so I could remind them that I expected their families to come to our place the following afternoon. I'd planned for all of us to have dinner together first and then we'd spend the night doing a bunch of different things to bring in the New Year.
Since I didn't feel like cooking tonight, I decided to take the boys over to the diner to eat instead. Not only would we get to see Ann again, but I'd be able to remind her about joining us the next evening as well. I'd also have a chance to give her boss the gift I'd prepared for him. I had purchased part of it when I went shopping during our trip to North Carolina, but I already had the rest of the things I would need to put it together at home. I grabbed the gift bag I had placed the finished item in and carried it with me as the boys and I went out to get in the car.
Ann was working and rushed over to greet us when we entered. She must have told the other waitress that we were related and she'd take us, because I saw the other woman nod. Ann then led us to a booth, and as soon as we were all seated, I reminded her about the following night. She told me she'd be working until 6:00, so I advised her to come straight to our house after her shift ended and we'd have dinner once she got there. When she complained that she'd be wearing her uniform and would want to clean up and change first, I merely told her to bring a change of clothes with her and she could clean up at the house, but we all wanted her to join us.
I kept her bosses gift bag beside me, because I knew he'd come over to speak with us when he had time and I'd give him it to him then, so the boys could watch him open it. He didn't get to our table until we had just about finished our meals, but then he stopped by to say hello.
"It's nice to see you again and I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday so far," he began.
"We have and we want to thank you for the presents you and Auntie Ann gave us," Tyler quickly replied and the other pair soon chimed in their agreement.
"She wasn't supposed to tell you about that," he stated, as he glanced around to see where Ann was.
"Why not?" I challenged, looking him in the eye. "We were just about ready to chew her out for spending too much money on each of the boys, so she told us part of the gift was from you too." After I'd explained this, he appeared to calm down slightly. "We also got you a little something as well. It's not much, but we thought you'd appreciate it because we're all family."
"You didn't have to do this," he stated with a smile, as he accepted the gift bag from me. He then pulled out the item and stared at it for a few seconds.
It was a lovely, silver frame with a hinged panel on either side. In the center section, I'd placed a large photo of all six boys and me, which Cherie had taken at one of the baseball games. Each side panel contained two photographs as well. On the top of the left hand panel was a picture of Ethan and Andrew that I had taken before one of their games and below it was a picture I'd taken of Marcus and Justin in their uniforms as well. On the top of the right hand panel was a photo I'd taken of Tyler and Dylan before one of their games, while below that was a group picture of all of the adults, including Ann, that Tyler had taken when we'd all been together on the Fourth of July. I meant this gift to represent the entire extended family that he was now part of, so he'd always have something to remember us by.
"This is absolutely wonderful and I will cherish it always," he assured us after he'd examined it carefully. "I can't think of a better gift that I'd received this year."
We then chatted with him for a little while longer, before he had to return to doing his job. I assured him that we'd be stopping by often, so we would get to see plenty of each other during the coming year. The boys and I also wished him a 'Happy New Year' before he left and he bid us the same in return.
After I paid the bill and tipped Ann, we all hopped in the car and headed home. We went directly to the family room when we got back and planned to watch something on TV, but we didn't do it for very long. We were just too tired out from the trip, so I took the boys up to shower instead. They all seemed happy to be home and able to do this with each other again, and as soon as they were clean I had Ethan and Marcus put on their jammies, before I took them over and tucked them into bed together. I hugged each one and kissed him goodnight first, and then I wished them both sweet dreams before shutting the bedroom door behind me as I left.
When I got back to my bedroom, Tyler was waiting for me and he had a huge grin on his face. "It's been a few days since we've done anything now, so will you make love to me again tonight?" he practically demanded as I entered the room.
"I thought you were tired," I countered as I shut the bedroom door.
"I'm not too tired to do that," he announced, showing new life. "So will you make love to me again?"
I think he guessed the answer to that question when he saw me turn around and lock the door, because he raced over and started to kiss me. He also wrapped his arms around my chest and gave me a big hug at the same time.
"Thank you. Thank you. I love you sooo much!" he gushed, once he'd pulled his lips away from mine.
"Hey, I never agreed to do anything," I teased, as he looked up at me with a horrified expression on his face. When he saw that I was grinning, he punched me playfully in the arm.
"I knew you would," he stated assuredly. "I know you like doing it just as much as I do."
Since I couldn't argue the point, I grabbed the things we'd used the first time we did this, so I could prepare Tyler to do it again. We even started out doing it the same way, with me standing up and his butt hanging over the side of the mattress, but then I decided to show him there were many different ways to make love. After I was sure he was comfortable with me being inside him again and I had slid in and out of him a few times, I decided to give Tyler a brief demonstration of a few other positions.
When I first pulled out of his backside, Tyler began to complain, at least until I'd told him what I was planning to do. Then, I had him get off the bed too and told him to bend over the side of the mattress, while I re-entered him from behind. After we'd done it this way for a while, I pulled out again, but this time I had him get on all fours on the mattress while I entered him doggy style, like he had done to me. After doing that briefly, I had him lay face down on the mattress while I stayed inside him, and then we did it like that for a while too.
A short time later, I had him roll over onto his back and I lifted his legs like I did when I rimmed him in this position, but this time I slid my penis inside him, rather than my tongue. Since I knew I was getting close, I pulled out one final time, had Tyler roll over on his side, facing away from me, and then I laid down behind him and entered him once more. We stayed like that as I made the mad dash for the checkered flag and hurriedly stroked Tyler's penis to bring him off first. When he orgasmed, his butt muscles clamped down on my shaft and I released my load inside Tyler once again.
"Dang, I didn't know there were so many ways to do it," Tyler gasped, as soon as he'd returned to the land of the living.
"Oh, there are even more positions than that, but those were a good sampling of them for now," I countered and received an amazed look in return. "We might even try some other ways the next time we do it, but this will do until then."
"Great! That means you're going to do it with me a lot, so I don't care how long it takes to learn all the ways to do this," Tyler quipped, as a huge grin split his face. I had a feeling he was going to tire me out long before we got through them all.
After we'd cleaned up the mess, we cuddled in bed and got ready to sleep. I had no doubt that Tyler was happy and content, since he was nearly purring as he cuddled against me, but I was just as satisfied. Before I came to live with them, I never would have thought that a young teenage boy could bring me so much pleasure, but Tyler had now convinced me otherwise.
When we got up the next morning, I fed the boys first, but then I explained that we had a lot to do before the others showed up. We had to dig out several items from storage first and then we set up the banquet table again. We would need it for dinner, but I also planned on using it for our other activities as well. Once those things were taken care of, I asked the boys to vacuum and dust the downstairs next and then go up to clean and straighten their rooms afterward. I even asked them to help each other change the sheets on their beds, while I was getting things ready for dinner, so I didn't have to rush to do it all later.
Once those things had been taken care of, I sat down to watch a couple of shows with the boys until lunchtime. After we finished eating, we watched a football game that was on until I had to get up to start cooking the things I'd prepared earlier. I was making ham and cabbage for tonight, which was a typical New Year meal that my family usually had, but I was also fixing boiled carrots, celery, onions and potatoes to go with it. Cherie had agreed to make a large lasagna as well, in case the boys didn't care for what I had prepared, and Sally was bringing over a large pan of Spanish Rice. The boys and I had all sampled her Spanish Rice before, so I knew they liked it and there would be plenty available for them to choose from, even for the pickiest eaters.
After I had it all cooking, I went back in to watch some more of the football game with the boys until the others started showing up. The Cochrans were the first to arrive and Cherie offered to watch over what I was fixing, as she put her lasagna in the over to keep it warm. This allowed me a chance to take Don outside to help me with something else I needed to set up for later. That took us about a half hour to finish, and when we came back inside we decided to watch the rest of the football game with the boys. When the game ended, I had my young helpers go out and set both tables, while I went out to the kitchen to make sure Cherie was doing ok, but I also wanted to make sure everything was just about done.
As I was doing that, Sally and Andrew showed up, so we all stopped to say hello to them for a few minutes. Ann showed up about ten minutes after that and Sally took her upstairs to show her where she could clean up and change. While we were waiting for Ann to finish up, Cherie, Sally and I started taking the food out and placing it on the dining room table, so it would be ready for when Ann came down to join us.
When she came downstairs, we gathered around the tables and said grace, before the two mothers and I helped the boys fill their plates. I insisted that my three at least try the ham and cabbage and made them promise they would, before I let them take the other items. Once they were set, the rest of us filled our plates as well and prepared for another wonderful family dinner.
I thought everything tasted delicious and my three didn't react as badly to the ham and cabbage as I'd feared. In fact, Tyler and Marcus talked Dylan and Justin into trying some too, although Andrew wasn't willing to do that. Although Ethan had seemed to like the ham, Andrew witnessed Ethan's reaction to trying the cabbage and refused to try any of it. Those two were actually the only ones that turned their noses up at what I'd prepared, although Ethan only disliked the cabbage.
As soon as we'd finished eating and had cleaned off the two tables and the mess in the kitchen, we took a short break. The boys went into the family room to see what was on TV, while the rest of us relaxed in the living room and chatted with each other instead. Shortly before 8:00, I excused myself and went out to get things set up for what I had planned next, and then I got everyone together again and announced what we were going to do.
"I've rounded up a bunch of board games so we can play them against each other tonight," I began. "Each pair of boys will play against the adults, and we'll rotate among you, so you boys will get to play against all of us adults. I have selected three games that Ethan and Andrew will play and three other games for the four older boys. We will play each game for one hour, with the adults switching opponents every twenty minutes. If the game against the last group had ended, then you'll start a new game, otherwise the adults will merely pick up where the previous adults left off."
Once everyone understood, I pointed out that the three games for Ethan and Andrew were on a TV tray at the far end of the dining room table and they'd set the next game up when the new hour began. The games they would be playing were Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land and Sorry, since I felt they could handle those and enjoy them the most.
I had already set up the three games for the older groups and the boys would move from one game to the other as each hour changed. I had Battleship set up on the near end of the dining room table and Clue was set up on the end of the banquet table closest to the family room. The Game of Life was set up on the other end of the banquet table and Tyler and Dylan would play that first. Marcus and Justin would start out playing Battleship against their opponents, before playing Clue after that. Cherie and Don would play as a pair against the boys, Sally and Ann another pair, but I would face the boys alone, since there was an odd number of adults.
From 8:00 to 9:00 we played the first set of games, rotating every twenty minutes as we competed against each pair on the game they were playing at the time. From 9:00 to 10:00 the boys switched to the next game, as the adults rotated playing against each of them again. Finally, from 10:00 to 11:00 the boys played their final game and the adults rotated through each pair one more time. When the last round ended, I had the boys put all the game pieces back in their boxes and then I led everyone out to the backyard for a little surprise.
"I'm doing this now, because I want you boys to see it and not have to worry about you falling asleep first," I announced while trying to stifle the urge to burst out laughing when I noticed their reaction to my comment. "Besides, I have some other stuff for us to do later. I picked these items up when we were in North Carolina, although they're now legal to buy and sell in Georgia starting this year. I hope you'll all enjoy this, so relax and have fun."
I then went out and began setting off the various fireworks that Don had helped me get ready earlier. I had a variety of different types of rockets and they made quite a show. Almost as soon as the first one lit up the sky, we discovered the Riordans were looking over the fence and enjoying the show too, as well as some of our other neighbors that lived on the other sides. We did this until the last of the rockets had finally been set off, and then we wished all of our neighbors a 'Happy New Year' and headed inside to get ready for the final countdown to the New Year on TV.
We all crowded into the family room together next, so we could watch the various celebrations taking place on TV. This would eventually include the ball dropping in Times Square, but before that happened, I went around and passed out an assortment of party hats and noisemakers to everyone first. I had purchased these items when we were in North Carolina as well, because I thought they would add to the fun time. After we counted down the final ten seconds with the announcer and the crowd in Times Square, we began whooping it up and made a lot of noise, as we wished each other a 'Happy New Year'.
As soon as we had done that for a while and things began to calm down again, I directed everyone to go out to the kitchen for the next surprise. I had set out an assortment of empty wine and champagne glasses on the counter, and I now took out a bottle of champagne to fill those glasses for the adults. After they each had one, I took a bottle of sparkling grape juice and poured some in the wine glasses for the boys to enjoy. After making sure everyone had a glass, we all toasted each other and wished for a New Year would be better than the last.
I had already talked the adults into letting the boys stay with us until Sunday, so we all said goodbye to Don, Cherie, Sally and Ann as they returned home. Once they had gone, Justin raced over to ask me a question. "Can me and Marcus sleep with you tonight?" he wanted to know.
Since I hadn't promised the older boys that they could do this, I told him it would be fine. Then I went to find Tyler, so I could explain it to him. "Justin and Marcus asked to sleep with me tonight, so you and Dylan will have to sleep in your room."
"Yeah, ok," Tyler replied, totally surprising me. I was ready for a huge argument, but he didn't give me one.
"I'm glad you're all right with this," I confirmed, still bewildered.
"It's not a problem," Tyler concurred, before giving me a sly wink and adding a little more information. "I think maybe me and Dylan will try something new tonight, if that's ok with you." I immediately realized this meant he and Dylan were planning to have anal intercourse with each other, which explained why he wasn't upset.
"No, I don't mind at all. Just remember the precautions I told you to take," I advised him. "You can pick up the things from my room before I take Marcus and Justin upstairs." After I'd said that, Tyler ran off to go get Dylan so they could head up to my room to retrieve what they would need.
I had told all of the boys we'd skip the showers tonight, since it was so late, and no one gave me any hassle about it. I then went upstairs with Ethan and Andrew as they put on their pajamas, and then I tucked them both in bed and wished them pleasant dreams. They were both basically sleep walking at this point, so I knew it wouldn't take very long before they passed out.
When I went over to my room after that, Justin and Marcus were already there waiting for me. Justin smiled broadly as I walked through the door, so I wasn't sure if he was just happy that I was letting him do this or if he had something more in mind. He and Marcus had already stripped down to their underwear, so I quickly got undressed too. When we started to get into bed, Justin asked a question.
"Since this is a really special night, will you rub my dick again..." he began, but Marcus cut him off.
"I keep telling you it's a penis, not a dick," he scolded his buddy.
"Ok! Just quit bugging me about it!" he yelled at Marcus before turning back to me. "So will you rub my penis tonight, like you did before in the shower?" he wanted to know.
"Mine too!" Marcus quickly chimed in. I looked at both boys and thought about this for a minute before I answered.
"Ok, since this is a very special night, I guess I can do it for you again, but remember it's only because this is a very special day," I reminded them. "The other thing I need for you to know is that what you want me to do is called masturbation, so if want me to do it for you, then I think you're also old enough to start using the correct term for it."
"Yeah, ok, and we know we won't do this a lot, but we just want you to do it for us again tonight," Justin confessed.
Since I had agreed to do it for them, they both slipped out of their tighty whities and laid on the bed. I glanced from one to the other and was quite amazed. "Justin, I think you've got even more hair now than before," I observed and he smiled at me.
"I know," was his only response.
"And Marcus, I think you've got a couple of hairs coming in too," I pointed out, as Justin quickly leaned over to check it out.
"Yeah, you do," Justin confirmed, which brought a huge grin to Marcus' face.
"It's about time," he announced proudly.
Since Justin was the one that asked, I decided to masturbate him first. I rubbed between his legs and stimulated his scrotum, which caused Justin to sprout an erection in no time at all. I then used two fingers and my thumb to start the process and he began to coo and moan almost immediately. He was absolutely glowing and I could tell he was enjoying this immensely, as I continued to stroke his rigid shaft. Eventually, his body started to tense up and he lifted his butt off of the mattress, as a few drops of clear liquid shot out of the tiny slit at the end. I gave him a few moments to recuperate first, before I pointed this out to him.
"Wow! That felt awesome!" Justin squealed in delight, as soon as he'd recovered.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it, but it might have seemed better this time because you produced a little semen," I informed him, as I showed him the wet spots on my hand.
"Is that the stuff Dylan and Tyler shoot?" he asked to clarify what I meant.
"Yes, your little testicles have apparently started working now, but they can only produce this immature version of semen for the time being, but it will get thicker and start to look whitish in color over time," I explained. He was absolutely thrilled by this news.
"I can't wait to tell Dylan and Tyler that I can shoot just like they do, even if it's not quite the same," he beamed. I was surprised he didn't get up and run over to Tyler's room right then so he could inform them.
"Do me now," Marcus urged, so I started to masturbate him as well.
Marcus looked mildly dejected when he only had a dry orgasm, so I reminded him that Justin was older and it took time for him to ejaculate after getting his first pubic hairs too. He nodded slightly to confirmed he understood, although I could tell he was still disappointed, but maybe not quite as much as before. After Justin wiped off the little bit of liquid that had landed on his abdomen, the two boys got on either side of me and prepared to go to sleep. They hadn't bothered to put on their underwear first, but after what we'd just done, I decided not to say anything about it.
Justin and Marcus cuddled up against me, much like Tyler and Dylan always did, but Justin was much more involved with doing this than Marcus was. Although Marcus snuggled up tightly against my side and placed his head on my shoulder, Justin did even more than that. He also draped one of his arms across my chest and one of his legs over mine as well, so his privates were pressed firmly against my outer thigh. I didn't think this was sexual on his part, as it was when Tyler did it, but he obviously liked doing this with me too. I was just glad that his father was no longer a threat, or else I might not have agreed to do this with him tonight.
After the boys woke up the next morning, I fed them breakfast and then we went into the family room to watch the parades on TV. While we were doing that, there were several comments made about the previous day.
"Last night was pretty fun," Marcus announced, and I held my breath momentarily, because I wasn't sure if he meant what we'd done as a group or what I'd done with Justin and him later. "I liked playing those games and it was fun doing it against all of you," he stated, while looking at me. "We beat you guys in two of the three games."
"Yeah, I had a good time too," Tyler admitted. "I wasn't sure if it was going to be much fun when you first announced what we were going to do, but I enjoyed playing those games against all of you too."
The other boys quickly concurred, although Andrew had his own observation about what we'd done. "I never played those games before, but they were fun. I hope we can do it again."
After I assured him we would, Dylan had a comment to make. "I thought the fireworks you set off were the best part of last night. I've never seen anyone do that at home before and I've only seen fireworks at places like Stone Mountain or when Lawrenceville sets them off on the Fourth of July. This wasn't as big as those, but it was kinda neat watching them shoot up in the air and then explode."
"Now that they're legal in Georgia, you might see more of that in the future," I advised him. "Some people were buying them in the other states before this and then setting them off here, but it wasn't considered legal at the time. I'm just glad you boys had a good time last night."
"We did," they all agreed, but the look on Tyler's face told me this had more to do with what he did with Dylan afterward, rather than what he'd done with the rest of us earlier in the night.
When I went out to fix the boys lunch later, Tyler followed me to the kitchen and I couldn't wait to hear what he had to say. "I did it with Dylan last night, both ways," he said with a grin. "It wasn't as good as when I did it with you," he added in a whisper, "but it was still fun."
"I'm glad to hear that," I replied. "So Dylan didn't ask why you suddenly wanted to do this?"
"Nah, I just told him it was my way of celebrating the New Year with him, since he'd been bugging me to do it for so long," Tyler admitted. "He was just happy that I finally gave in."
"That's good," I responded. "I'm also glad it didn't rouse his suspicions."
"Nope. Not at all," he confirmed, much to my relief.
After I fed the boys lunch, we decided to go to the family room and watch the football games. While I was cleaning up the kitchen, Dylan showed up to ask me a question.
"Did Justin really cum last night?" he demanded, while looking at me for an answer. "He said he did, but I don't know if I really believe him." Although I was hesitant to admit to Dylan that I'd masturbated his brother, it seemed he already knew and the only problem he had was believing what his brother told him.
"He did, but it was just the immature watery kind," I confirmed.
"Yeah, I did that at first too, but I'm just surprised he can do it already," Dylan told me. "I think I was twelve before I did it the first time."
"Everyone is different, but it seems boys are doing it younger and younger all the time now," I pointed out and Dylan merely nodded.
"I'm happy for him though," Dylan stated, before going back to the family room.
I soon went in to join the boys again, as we got ready to watch the first of the football games. The only break we took, other than to make quick runs to the toilet during commercials, was at halftime of the second game, so we could eat dinner. Since we had so many leftovers, I merely heated those up and it didn't take very long to get things ready. After we finished our meal, we went back in to watch the rest of the game.
In between the second and third games, I took Ethan and Andrew up for their shower. It was a very quick affair and then they put on their pajamas, while I threw on a pair of sweats, since I knew I'd be doing this again shortly. We then went back to the family room and watched the next game with the rest of the boys.
We all decided to cheer for different teams this time, to add a little more excitement when watching the game, so each person in the pair picked a different side. When half time rolled around, I told Marcus and Justin that I'd take them up for their shower, and that's when I received my next surprise.
"I'm going to shower with Justin tonight and Marcus will shower with Tyler," Dylan informed me. He didn't elaborate on this until we got upstairs though, so it left me wondering why the sudden change.
"Justin asked me to shower with him and said he'd let me jerk him off so I could see that he could really cum, since I didn't believe him at first," he explained. "I was curious to see him do it, so I agreed to do this with him."
Since they were both willing participants, I had no problem with it either. Before I washed Justin though, Dylan got him hard and masturbated him first, so he'd be able to see that Justin was definitely growing up. Even though I'd assured Dylan that Justin had cum the previous night, he still looked slightly amazed when it happened. At the same time, Justin beamed with pride that he had just proved himself to his brother. After they had finished, I washed both of them and then we went back to the family room to watch the rest of the game.
The second half was exciting, but the team that Justin, Andrew, Tyler and I were rooting for lost. Maybe we would have better luck in the next game. That one started immediately afterward, so I told Marcus and Tyler that I'd shower with them at the half. They were fine with that, so we all picked which team we were going to root for this time and settled back to enjoy the game.
At the half, I took Marcus and Tyler up for their shower, but no one masturbated anyone this time. Marcus proudly made sure to show Tyler that he had a couple of hairs now too and Tyler complimented him on it, which made Marcus feel really good. After I washed both boys, we went back downstairs and watched the rest of the game together.
This time the team Justin, Andrew, Tyler and I were rooting for won and it was the first time I'd noticed that the same boys had selected the same team I had chosen to cheer for. I had a pretty good idea about why Tyler had done this, and I think Andrew did it so he'd feel closer to me, but I was curious about Justin. He seemed to be trying to get closer to me every time he was here, but after his father had made up with his brother and him, I had expected that to change. When it didn't, I began to wonder if this was just a temporary thing or if he had some sort of a crush on me. I'd have to watch him carefully from now on, because I didn't want to break his little heart, but I also didn't want to start something I couldn't finish. I had Tyler and he was definitely more than enough for me to handle.
After I'd tucked Justin and Marcus in bed, I headed over to my bedroom next. To my complete surprise, Dylan eagerly filled me in on what he and Tyler had done the night before and verbally drew some pretty graphic images for me to think about. By the look on Tyler's face, he didn't know Dylan was going to do this, and obviously Dylan didn't know that Tyler had already apprised me about what went down the previous night. However, that wasn't my last surprise of the evening.
"Do you want to watch me and Tyler do it again?" Dylan followed, as he looked at my face and awaited my answer.
"I think that should be kept private between the two of you," I responded and Dylan looked disappointed.
"Why? You know everything else we do and we've even done some of those things with you too," he shot back while trying to convince me.
"That may be and I might have been wrong doing that stuff with you, but I think I need to draw the line here," I advised him. He looked confused and shook his head in amazement, as if he thought that would help him understand why I'd just refused his offer. On the other hand, I had a feeling that if I watched them do it, then Dylan would expect me to join in with the two of them, so we could all do it to each other.
"But we don't mind. Do we, Ty?" Dylan added, as he glanced over at Tyler for support. Tyler didn't immediately respond, but then he finally answered.
"I don't mind if Uncle Blake knows what we do or if he watches us do it, but I think I understand why he doesn't want to do this," he answered. "I know he doesn't mind helping us out with the other stuff, but I have a feeling that he thinks making love like that is something you only do with someone you really love and are willing to commit to."
"But we love him and he loves us," Dylan challenged, thinking that was enough.
"Yes, he loves us, but he might not be IN love with us. I think that's the difference," Tyler explained.
"But we did it and we're not in love. Are we?" Dylan followed, showing he was slightly confused by this as well.
"No, I don't think so, but we did it so we could learn what it was like," Tyler offered. "Uncle Blake has done it before and doesn't need to learn about that stuff any more, so he only wants to do it with someone he really cares about."
Dylan merely shook his head again, but he didn't push the issue further. Instead, I suggested we form a triangle with our bodies so we could suck each other off. After we'd all got a little relief, we cuddled together and fell asleep. Before I dozed off though, I made a mental note to thank Tyler tomorrow for helping me explain this to Dylan.
After the boys and I got up on Sunday morning, we had a big breakfast and then went in to watch the marathon of Harry Potter movies that was being shown on the ABC Family channel. The boys loved this series, and even though we had seen all of the movies before, they still wanted to watch them again. Seeing we'd been watching so much football, this turned out to be a perfect alternative.
They didn't even want to take a break for lunch, so I went out to the kitchen and made something for all of us to eat, and then I brought it into the family room so we could chow down together. The boys thought this was a special treat, sort of like having a picnic, and we all enjoyed our meal while watching the magic on the screen.
Later, I had to pry Andrew, Justin and Dylan away from the TV and out of the family room so I could take them home. Their parents were expecting them shortly, since the boys would be returning to school the following day and didn't have what they needed with them. Before we left the house though, I called and placed an order for take out from the Chinese restaurant the boys and I liked, since I didn't feel like fixing a meal. Then, after I had dropped the other boys off at their houses, I drove over to pick it up. When I got back to the house, I fixed each of the boys a plate and took it in to them, before bringing in their drinks too. Then I brought something in for myself and sat down to finished watching the movies with them.
They were upset that I wouldn't let them stay up to watch the last movie, which started at 8:00, because they were out of practice getting up early after having two weeks off. In fact, I had been sleeping later than normal too, so I wanted us to all go to bed early and get a good night's sleep. The only exceptions I made to our usual routine was that I allowed Marcus and Ethan to sleep together, as well as letting Tyler sleep with me. Since we'd been doing this for most of the time they had been on vacation, I felt they would all sleep better if I let them do it again.
When we got up Monday morning, I had to keep urging the boys to pick up the pace as they got dressed and ate breakfast, but fortunately they were all ready in time when their buses arrived. Then I took off for work, ready to thank my boss for allowing me to take off the previous week.
I was really happy that everything went smoothly during the day, otherwise I would have felt guilty about not working the previous week. Since nothing out of the ordinary happened and the day progressed without incident, all my coworkers were in a good mood when it was time to go home. Our boss was in a great mood too, so before I left for the day, I made sure to thank him one more time and let him know how much I truly appreciated his understanding and cooperation.
When I arrived home, I went next door to the Riordan's to let Ethan and Marcus know they could come home. While I was there, I thanked Brenda for all of her help and handed her a Christmas card in which I'd placed a $100 Visa gift card. I explained it was to show my gratitude that she was always willing to watch the boys for me, and quite often on short notice. She thanked me for doing this for her and agreed to help out whenever needed.
When the boys and I returned home, I began fixing dinner. I put it on a low heat for now, because I had to run over to the school to pick up Dylan and Tyler from practice. Cherie and I had agreed to alternate this duty again, but tonight was my turn to do it. I loaded Ethan and Marcus into the car and then we went over to get the other pair.
As soon as Dylan and Tyler joined us, they reminded me that they had an away game on Thursday. This presented me with a problem, because Marcus and Justin had games that day too. I thought about it briefly and figured I'd talk it over with Cherie and the boys when we dropped Dylan off at his house, to see how we could resolve the situation.
"I'm afraid we have a problem. There are multiple games on Thursday, two home and the other away," I began. "I know you all like for us to come watch you play, but that won't be possible this time, because Aunt Cherie and I can only be in one place at a time. After thinking about it, I can only see two options to this problem. The first is that we just don't go to Dylan and Tyler's game, and the other is that I go to one location and Aunt Cherie goes to the other. How do you boys suggest we do this?"
"It's ok if only one of you comes to our games," Justin quickly offered. "I think that's the fairest way."
"Yeah," the others quickly chimed in.
"In that case, I'll just have to ask Aunt Cherie which game she'd rather go to," I followed, while looking in her direction.
"I'm not sure I would be able to find the other school on my own, so I'll go to the games here," she quickly answered.
"That's fine and I'll go to the other game then," I concurred.
"I'll take Marcus home with us afterward and you can pick him up there later," she offered, which took care of that problem.
"And I'll pick Dylan and Tyler up at the school after their bus gets back and drop Dylan off when I pick Marcus up," I agreed.
Once that had been settled, I took the boys home and finished preparing our meal. After we were done eating, I made sure the boys had their homework completed, before we went to the family room to watch TV for a while. During the commercial, the three of them filled me in about their day.
"It kinda sucked being in school today after having two weeks off," Marcus observed in a less than enthusiastic manner.
"The only good thing about it was basketball practice," Tyler chimed in. "It felt good to get back out on the court with the rest of the team again."
"I had fun with Andrew on the playground after lunch," Ethan offered, making the rest of us smile.
"When is the next time we have off?" Marcus wondered.
"You'll have a three-day weekend in a couple of weeks for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and then you'll have another three-day weekend about a month later for Presidents Day," I answered. "After that, you'll have to wait until Spring Break, which will be in early April."
"Dang, that's too long," Marcus observed dejected.
After the shows ended, I took the boys upstairs to shower and then get ready for bed. I made each one sleep in his own bed tonight and explained this was the way it would be on school nights. They all groaned but didn't argue, even though they did other things to let me know they were displeased, such as the way they stomped off when going to their bedrooms.
I tucked them in, kissed them goodnight and wished them sweet dreams. When it was Tyler's turn, he finally responded to my earlier comment. "Can't I sleep with you on Wednesday, since I have a basketball game the next day. I know I'll sleep better if I'm with you and then I'll play better in the game too."
"I think I started a bad trend with you during baseball season, but I don't think we'll need to do that now," I suggested. Tyler started to pout, but then he decided to argue instead.
"Come on. You know I always sleep better when I sleep with you too and it will help me be more rested up for the game," he insisted.
"That may be, but I really don't want to explain to your brothers why I'm allowing you to do that, if they discover you spent the night with me, especially after I said you would all have to sleep in your own beds on school nights," I offered, and again Tyler made a face.
"What if I promise to make sure that doesn't happen," Tyler countered, as he looked to see my response.
"And just how, exactly, do you intend to keep that promise?" I challenged.
"After we get up, I'll let you make sure the other two are still in their rooms first and then I'll hustle over to my room before they come out," he explained. "That way they won't see that I spent the night with you."
"Let me think about it," I offered, trying to end this discussion quickly, since I didn't want to argue with him all night long. I was also hoping he might forget about doing it by Wednesday, even though I knew the chance of that happening was very slim.
Once I'd kissed his forehead and tucked him into bed, I went over to my room and crawled under the covers. That's when I realized I was just as lonely without anyone sharing my bed too. I hadn't slept alone in quite a while and this led to me having trouble falling asleep. If this situation didn't improve before then, I might have to give in to Tyler just for my own benefit.
Tuesday and Wednesday went by fairly smoothly and the only difference was Cherie picked the boys up from practice on Tuesday and I did it on Wednesday. Later Wednesday evening, after I'd showered with the boys and put the younger pair to bed, I found Tyler waiting for me in my bedroom.
"Are you going to let me sleep with you tonight?" he wanted to know. I was tempted to say 'no', but I hadn't slept well the past couple of nights either, so I was considering that as well before I replied.
"Look, I don't want to get back in the habit of doing this every time you have a game," I finally answered. "Marcus has a game tomorrow too, so what makes your situation any different?"
"Because we play other schools and Marcus just plays against other kids from his school," Tyler shot back. "But he could sleep with us too, if he asked to do it."
"Sure, now that he's already in bed," I scoffed. "And does this mean you aren't planning on doing other things too?"
"Maybe, but Marcus is getting older, so can he do them with us now too," Tyler suggested. "He's getting hair down there and you jerked him and Justin off on New Year's Eve, so why not?"
"Look, when I did that for those two I told them it was only because it was a very special day and not something I'd do with them very often," I confessed, while considering what I was going to say next. "Besides, I don't want to get involved with them like I have with you and Dylan. Maybe I was wrong doing that, but I don't want to continue those things with the other boys."
"You weren't wrong with me and Dylan, but maybe you're right about not doing it with them," Tyler relented. "I'll want you to make love to me again, but I know you won't do it if anyone else is in there with us."
"You've got that right and I don't want anyone else to know that we've done it either," I added, just to make sure he understood.
"I know, but can't I please sleep with you tonight?" he pressed, while giving me his special look. "We don't even have to do anything else, but I just want to sleep with you."
I knew this could go on for a long time and I was hoping to get some sleep tonight, since I hadn't slept so well the past couple of nights. Probably more for my own benefit than his, I finally gave in. "Ok, but just to sleep then," I offered.
Tyler immediately lunged for me, as he planted his lips over mine and threw his arms around my body. After kissing and hugging me to show his thanks, he went back to turn off his bedroom light, closed his door and came in with me. Once my door was shut too, he crawled into bed and cuddled against me. We both fell asleep fairly quickly after that and I know I slept really well, but I think Tyler did too.
Tyler was able to get back to his bedroom before the other pair woke up, so our little conspiracy went unnoticed. After the boys got ready for school and I'd seen them off on their buses, I drove into work. During the ride, I thought about how often I seemed to be giving in to Tyler, but I also considered that it hadn't really been a big deal or actually caused any major problems. If he'd been insistent that we have sex last night, then it might have been different, but it was just to help him sleep. As long as it continued like that, then I might consider letting him do it again.
When I got out of work later, I rushed home to get Ethan and then we took off to catch Dylan and Tyler's game. To my surprise, the game had already started by the time we arrived, so Ethan and I had to wait for the next time out before we could go inside and find a seat in the bleachers. I glanced up at the scoreboard and noticed it was a really tight game and Dylan and Tyler were both playing. I wasn't sure if they had started though, but I assumed they had, and they immediately set up their full court press the next time they scored.
Tyler was guarding the ballhandler and Dylan had started to come over to trap him, but it turned out that he was merely faking the move this time. Thinking he was about to be double teamed, the boy with the ball pulled up and tried to make a pass, but Dylan had dropped back in the passing lane and was able to intercept the throw. He then dribbled downcourt, beating the intended target of the pass, and scored on a layup. He and Tyler then immediately set up the press again.
This time Dylan's man was bringing the ball upcourt and just as soon as he crossed over midcourt, Tyler raced over to double team him. The boy obviously thought Tyler was faking it too and tried to continue, but he had to pull up when Tyler stepped in front of him. This caused the boy to travel instead and gave the ball back to our team again.
Tyler immediately inbounded the ball and tossed to Dylan. He caught the ball, pivoted and saw Jamal breaking toward the hoop. Dylan tossed him a beautiful baseball pass and Jamal caught it and pulled up to make a short bank shot for the score. Then, their team set up to press again.
Dylan and Tyler were taken out of the game for part of the second quarter, but our team was up by eight points at the half. When the boys came out to start the second half, Dylan and Tyler started again, but our team didn't start out having the same amount of success. I don't know if they'd gotten overconfident or if the other team had just made adjustments to what they were doing. Whatever the case, our team made a few turnovers in the third quarter and were only up by two points when the quarter ended.
Coach Jackson took Dylan and Tyler out at the start of the fourth quarter and things were going fairly smoothly for our team after that. This didn't mean that Dylan and Tyler had been the ones making the mistakes, although they made their share too, but it just seemed to be the chemistry between the boys on the court at the time. Whatever it was, the team got their act together, and although the result was still in doubt up until the final buzzer, our team managed to pull off the victory.
After slapping hands with the other team, Tyler and Dylan stopped to speak with us briefly before they took off to shower and change. After discussing how they had played, I told them I'd see them at the school in a little while. In fact, Ethan and I were already waiting for them at the school when the bus pulled in, since it took longer from them to drive back than it had taken us. Dylan and Tyler quickly spotted the Outback and raced over to hop inside, and they started talking almost as soon as the door was shut.
"That was scary," Dylan began. "We could have lost the game."
"Yeah, but the other guys pulled it out," Tyler added, breathing a sigh of relief. "They said they all played together both days last week, so they were used to some of the new things they were doing with each other. I think it really hurt that we weren't there last week, because Dylan and Justin didn't go either. Their mom took them to do some other stuff instead while we were away."
"Yeah, we didn't want to miss out on the basketball, but Mom really wanted us to spend time with her," Dylan added. "I'm glad doing that didn't make us lose though."
"Even if you had lost the game, it wouldn't have just been due to the fact that you'd spent time with her," I pointed out. "There were a bunch of other factors too."
"Yeah, like me not playing that week either," Tyler quickly added, but I didn't respond and let the topic drop.
A short time later, I was in the process of dropping Dylan off and picking Marcus up when I noticed Marcus seemed to be down too, so I figured his team had a rough game as well. "Me and Justin's teams both lost tonight," he stated as he got in the car. "I don't know what was wrong, but we didn't play very good."
"Hey, it's only a game and a learning process, so don't get too down about it," I offered, hoping it would cheer him up a bit, or at least get him not to dwell on it for very long, and that seemed to work.
Instead of going home, I took the boys over to the diner to eat, since I was sure they were hungry and eager to put something in their stomachs. I also didn't feel like trying to whip something up, so I took the easy way out. We all enjoyed doing this too, since we got to chat with Ann and her boss at various times, but they both made a comment about Marcus and Tyler's lack of smiles tonight. I then explained to them about the boys' less than cheerful mood, and after they'd found out what the problem was, they each told the boys it was only a game and not to take it too seriously. Eventually, the two older boys relented and agreed with their advice.
After we got home, I showered with Ethan alone this time, since both Marcus and Tyler said they didn't need to shower again, because they had taken one after their games. This surprised me, since that had never stopped them from showering with us before, but I felt it was due to the fact that they still weren't in a very good mood. After I finished up with Ethan and he'd gotten ready for bed, I tucked him in and said goodnight, before I went over to do the same with the other pair. Marcus was already in bed, but not asleep, so I kissed him on the forehead and gave him a hug, in an effort to make him feel a little better and help him get to sleep. Then I went over to Tyler's room.
He was sitting on his bed in his underwear waiting for me. He looked up as I entered the room, but he didn't break into a smile as he usually did. I wasn't sure why, but I walked over to give him a kiss and hug goodnight.
"What's up, champ? You still look a little down," I stated after I'd released him.
"It's because I didn't play very good today," he responded, not looking up.
"Maybe you didn't have a great game, but you certainly didn't play horribly either," I offered, hoping that might perk him up a little. "You made a couple of good plays, and Dylan did too, but I will admit that maybe you didn't have as good a game as you normally did."
"Dylan played better than me," he mused, before his voice trailed off.
"Even the best players have off days," I countered, but he didn't react to my comment. "Even Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant had games they weren't happy with and didn't feel as if they had played well, but they went out the next game and did their best to make up for it. Just shake it off, practice hard and give it your best effort the next time you take the court, but I still say you didn't play badly today."
At that point, he looked up at me and slowly a grin started to creep across his face. "Ok, maybe you're right," he conceded. "I'll do what you told me and hope I do better next time."
"That's the attitude, now get some rest," I replied, while urging him to lay down. When he did, I pulled the covers up over him, kissed him on the lips and wished him sweet dreams.
"Thanks, Uncle Blake. You helped a lot and I feel better now. I love you," Tyler confessed as I turned off the light.
"I love you too, champ, and I'm glad I could help," I replied, as I pulled his door shut behind me.
Everyone seemed to be in a fairly decent mood the next morning when I woke them up, so I was glad about that. After they got ready for school, I told each one to have a good day as they ran out to catch their buses and then I took off for work. On the way in, I remembered that I had offered to have all the boys stay at the house with us again this weekend, which perked me up a bit too. I did this because I felt it would give Cherie and Don a little more time to make up and work things out, especially after the rough month they'd just endured between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now, I merely had to figure out what I was going to do to entertain the boys.
By the time I arrived home later, Cherie was already there with Justin and she had also sent him next door to let Brenda Riordan know that someone was at the house, so Marcus and Ethan could come home. The boys all seemed happy to see me and Cherie offered to go get the older pair from practice, since it was actually my turn to pick them up.
"Let me do it for you to make up for you taking the boys again," she insisted, after I told her she didn't need to do it.
"It's really not a big deal, but if you want to, then go ahead," I reluctantly agreed, since I didn't really feel she had to pay me back for doing this. However, before she returned, Sally showed up with Andrew and I was chatting with her when Cherie arrived with Dylan and Tyler. After spotting Sally's car, Cherie came in to chat with both of us for a bit.
"Just so you know, I had the lawyer rescind all the agreements he'd had Don sign. I can't believe how Don has changed, but it has been really amazing to watch and Don's a totally different person now," Cherie stated, once the boys had gone off and the three of us were sitting alone in the living room. "I can hardly believe how good he has been with the boys lately, because he makes sure to say goodnight to each of them when they go to bed, but he also gives them a hug and a kiss on the forehead at the same time. I know the boys are trying not to make too big a deal over his sudden change, but I can see how their faces glow when Don does that."
"It sounds absolutely fantastic!" I offered in return.
"Yes, it does," Sally concurred. "I know it means a lot to Andrew when Blake does things like that for him, so I can only imagine how he would react if his father ever came around and did it as well." As I looked up at Sally, I could read the sadness in her eyes after she'd said this, since she knew how much it affected Andrew. She also wasn't sure why her ex had never wanted anything to do with his son after they'd gotten divorced, since he'd only divorced her, not Andrew.
After a few more minutes of chatting, Cherie said she had to get home, because she needed to fix dinner, because Don was taking her out to a movie and for some drinks later. After hearing this, Sally decided it was time for her to leave too, so I said goodbye to both women. Then, I went to round up the boys, so I could let them know what I had planned.
"Ok, I'm going to take you out to eat at the diner first and then we'll go to the high school, so we can watch the JV and Varsity teams play," I announced and they all seemed fairly excited about doing this.
"Both the JV and Varsity got killed in their games on Wednesday, so I hope they do better tonight," Dylan offered, as he glanced over at Tyler. "It wasn't a great week for any of our school teams."
"Then let's see how they do tonight," I urged, as I herded them out to the Outback.
After chatting briefly with Ann and her boss, we ate our meals fairly quickly tonight, so we didn't miss any of the action. The JV team was just taking the court and getting ready to start the game while we were taking our seats in the bleachers. From the opening tip-off, the game was action packed and the local team played really well, so they ended up winning the game, much to the boys' delight.
"From what I was told about their last game, that was a big improvement," Dylan observed, looking quite impressed.
"As I told Tyler, anyone can have an off night and sometimes it can happen to the entire team at the same time, but tonight they came out ready to play," I observed, trying to make a point. "I'm sure you two will be able to do the same thing in your next game too."
"I just hope the Varsity can do it first," Tyler stated, as the JV teams were leaving the court and the Varsity teams were coming on to start their warm-ups.
The Varsity game was very much like the JV game, with the local team coming out and playing very aggressively on both offense and defense. They won their game as well, but they actually destroyed their opponents and beat them by over 20 points. The boys were quite impressed by this as well.
"Dang! I hope we can do that in our next game," Tyler gushed, after looking at the varsity players with admiration. "They got beat by a lot in the game before this, but tonight they won by even more."
That's what you can do when you bear down and give it your best effort," I observed, as Dylan and Tyler nodded their heads in agreement.
"We're going to do that too," Dylan promised, and I hoped it wouldn't turn out to be an idle boast.
After we got back to the house, I rushed the boys through their showers and tucked them into bed. I was totally amazed that Dylan and Tyler went to Tyler's room tonight, instead of mine, so I guess it meant they'd planned a little action of their own. The problem was, it left me sleeping alone again and I didn't have a very good night. I always slept much better when one or both of them were with me, so if I'd known what they were going to do earlier, I might have suggested that Justin and Marcus could spend the night with me instead.
Dylan and Tyler also got up quite a bit later than everyone else the next morning, so that told me they must have stayed up late fooling around with each other. I wasn't about to ask them about what they had done though and would let them keep it to themselves. There was also the chance that they might tell me about it anyway, but I wasn't about to force the issue.
I had already fed the other boys, but I hadn't cleaned up the kitchen yet, because I knew I'd probably need the same items when the older pair finally stumbled downstairs. The younger boys had gone to the family room to watch their Saturday morning shows and I was sitting at the dining room table sipping a cup of coffee. I was thinking about a bunch of different things when Dylan and Tyler finally staggered in to join me.
"Mornin'," Tyler mumbled, still half asleep. "I'm hungry. What's for breakfast?"
"I fixed French toast for the other boys, so you can have that if you want or I can fix you something else," I offered, as the two of them pulled out chairs and basically flopped down into them.
"Nah, the French toast sounds good," Tyler agreed through a yawn.
"Yeah, me too," Dylan mumbled, since he didn't seem to be in any better shape than his buddy. " I guess we were having too much fun last night and stayed up later than we thought."
"Yeah, it was great," Tyler agreed in a wistful sigh.
I didn't comment or ask what they meant. Instead, I got up and went out to the kitchen to fix their breakfast. When it was done, I brought the food in to them and they quickly poured some syrup on it before they began to eat.
"I guess you probably figured out what we did last night," Tyler stated in between bites, as he looked for my reaction.
"I'm surprised he didn't hear us," Dylan quickly chimed in. I only glanced back at them and studied their faces, to see if I could figure out what they were up to.
"Well since you're both yawning, I can tell you probably weren't sleeping, but I actually didn't hear a thing," I replied, which caused Dylan to gawk at me.
"Really? Tyler kept telling me to quiet down, so I thought I was being really loud," he shot back, looking amazed.
"I guess I must have fallen asleep quickly and slept like a log then, because I didn't hear a thing," I confirmed.
"That's good," Tyler offered, looking slightly relieved.
"Yeah it is, because we did it to each other twice," Dylan added, which caused Tyler to turn in his direction quickly and give him a strange look. "What? We did it to each other twice and I don't care if Uncle Blake knows that."
"I don't either, but it sounded like you were bragging," Tyler stated, as he glared at Dylan. "That's why I gave you the dirty look."
"I wasn't really bragging, but I am kind of proud that we were able to do that." he confirmed, looking smug.
"Maybe this is a little too much information," I offered, to keep them from bickering about this. "There should be plenty of college basketball games on today, so do you want to watch those or would you rather do something else?"
"Yeah, the basketball games sound fine," they both agreed.
After they finished eating, they went to the family room to see what the other boys were doing, but I stayed in the kitchen to clean up the mess. When I finished, I went in to join them, since I was curious about what they were up to as well. They were all watching cartoons, and even though I wasn't really interested in doing that, I couldn't resist staying in there with them when the boys begged me to spend some time with them. When I finally agreed and plopped down on the sofa, Andrew crawled onto my lap and Justin pressed his body against mine on the right side, while Ethan and Marcus crowded in together on my left. Dylan and Tyler took seats on the floor on either side of my legs, since I guess they wanted to be close to me too.
When it was time for the basketball games to start, the little ones didn't want to stop watching their shows, so I told Dylan and Tyler they could watch the games upstairs. The younger boys wanted me to stay with them, so I agreed that I'd watch one more of their shows with them first, and then I'd go make all of us some lunch before I went up to watch the second half of the basketball game with the oldest pair. The younger boys weren't happy when I told them this, but they agreed to my plan, so that's what I did.
When the show ended, I went out to the kitchen and made lunch for all of us, and then I called the boys to come out and eat. The pair from upstairs didn't come down until a little while later, because it was nearly halftime when I called to them and they didn't want to miss anything, so I did a few other things while I waited for them to finish eating. Then, I went upstairs with them and watched the rest of the game.
Tyler was on my right side and Dylan on my left, as we leaned back against the pillows we'd propped up along the headboard. We'd been watching the game for about ten minutes when Justin walked into the bedroom and announced that he wanted to watch the game with us. When we agreed that would be fine, he asked if I would spread my legs so he could sit between them and then lean back against me. After thinking about it briefly, I said that would be alright too and Justin eagerly raced over and took up his place.
We watched the rest of that game and then two more before I finally got up and headed downstairs to fix dinner. I told the boys they could stay until I called them down to eat, so Dylan and Tyler stayed where they were, but Justin followed me down to the kitchen.
"I like spending time with you," he told me once we were alone.
"I like spending time with you too," I agreed and that brought a huge smile to his face.
"Can I stay out here and help you?" he followed, as I began taking things out to whip up dinner.
"Ok, if you want," I confirmed, which earned me another grin.
Justin then stayed by my side and did whatever I suggested, even after Marcus came out and asked if Justin wanted to do something with him instead. Marcus looked mildly disappointed when Justin told him he wanted to stay and help me, so Marcus went back to the family room with the younger pair. I decided to give Justin a little leeway and allow him to do things with me for now, while hoping he'd soon realize it wasn't so much fun doing these things after all. He just seemed to want to be close to me and hadn't indicated any other desires, so I wasn't about to jump to conclusions or turn him away.
When we'd finished eating and cleaned up the mess afterward, I went back upstairs to watch some more basketball games with the older pair. Justin came up with me again, while the other three watched a movie in the family room. I could tell this was confusing Marcus, but he didn't say anything to Justin about it, at least not until I was taking a shower with them later.
"How come you keep hanging out with Uncle Blake instead of doin' stuff with me?" he demanded, once it was just the three of us.
"I just like being with him. That's all," Justin replied, blushing slightly. "I like doing stuff with you too, but I wanted to hang out with Uncle Blake for a while today."
That seemed to suffice for now, especially after Justin agreed to sleep with Marcus as he usually did. That definitely seemed to make Marcus feel a little better, so I was glad nothing worse had come out of this.
To my surprise and delight, Dylan and Tyler decided to sleep with me tonight, although we didn't do anything with each other. Maybe they were still tired out, or possibly even a little sore from the night before, but they still snuggled against me the entire night and I slept much better than I had the previous evening.
