The Pervert And The Virgin – Part Twenty


My thanks to those readers who took the trouble to offer their encouragement. My apologies to all the readers I have kept waiting so long for the next installment. Sometimes life can get really challenging. I do have a roof over my head for the next month and will do my best to post as many parts to the story as I can before I return to living on the streets again. Trust me when I say I regret the lack of stability in my life more than anybody else but I have lingered in a place for too long just to put a roof over my head. The emotional discomfort of staying here far outweighs the physical discomfort of being on the road.

Elaine prepared my afternoon tea and smoothies while I cooked lunch. Lao tested me by offering one or two ingredients that just didn't feel right. I told him I'd save them for dinner. Lao left shortly after lunch. When we returned to the cabin I rewrote the schedule. The new schedule showed me it was time for an hour-long run. Then I would take Elaine, Sanne, Bram and the kids sailing. My chat with the boys would be followed by a massage, dinner and three hours of meditation. Elaine said she'd let Bram and Sanne know of my plan to take them all sailing while I was on my run. She told me she liked the new schedule and as long as I got in my scheduled dose of teas and smoothies it was all good with her.


Hans loved being out on the lake. He scurried all over the boat. Marikie also surprised us with her enthusiasm. Bram sighed and said it looked like he would need to build a dock for their own boat. This got kids' attention. Bram caused Sanne to blush when he said the more time the kids spent sailing the more time they'd have alone in the house. Bedroom Marikie corrected and earned herself a swat on the butt from Sanne. I insisted they join me to chat with the boys.


The boys heard all about our sailing adventure from Hans the moment I answered the call. Marikie shared the news that they would be buying their own boat soon. She asked Morgan if he knew much about sailing. When he told her he didn't know anything she said they would have to take sailing classes together. Sanne groaned and buried her head in her hands.


You're in good spirits, Dad.” Dylan told me. “Changing your schedule agrees with you.”


A lot of it has to do with knowing you guys are coming up tomorrow.” I told him. “You have no idea how much I've missed you.”


Enough to give us a flogging?” Adam asked eagerly.


A free flogging each.” I told them.


Leslie said you got to chat with an old friend from the monastery.” Morgan said. “Genta.”


Yes, I did a lot of cooking with him. You boys will visit him next weekend. Daizan says Genta is nearing the end of his journey and he's usually right about these things.” I told them.


We'd love to meet him but I thought you didn't want to stay at the monastery?” Dylan said.


I know of a good bed and breakfast close to the monastery.” I told them. “We could get a couple of rooms there. I can make the reservations tomorrow.”


No, Dad, you can't make the reservations tomorrow.” Adam told me. “Maybe tomorrow night but definitely not before we get there. Promise? Now tell us the name of the place we'll be staying in. Got it.”


Yes, Adam, I promise.” I said. “Marikie and Hans please will you take Elaine for a walk to the fire pit and back. I have to ask the boys something and she cannot hear what it is. Thank you, I owe you both a kiss.”


Give mine to Marikie.” Hans said as he took one of Elaine's hands. Marikie took the other.


Everybody knows I'll be going crazy waiting for you guys to get here tomorrow.” I said when I heard the cabin door close. “I'd like to take Elaine for a ride and would like to know if any of you boys would be willing to lend her your bike?”


She can use mine.” Adam said quickly. “My helmet might not fit her though.”


I have a few spare helmets that will fit.” I assured him. “Thank you, Adam. Yes, Hans, you can let her back in. Thanks for checking.”


Rohan, do you mind if I sleep with your son tonight?” Leslie asked stepping into view behind the boys. Elaine burst out laughing.


That's not my decision to make.” I said grinning. “All I can say is he has good taste when it comes to sharing his bed with a lady. You need to keep in mind I have never seen him in pajamas.”


That's because there isn't much point in wearing clothing around you.” Sanne said.


Tracy took us shopping for pajamas and dressing gowns.” Morgan told me. “She insisted we wear them when we stayed at the bed and breakfast. I still think it would have been more fun to run around naked.”


Sometimes we have to make these sacrifices.” I told him. “Thank you for going along with it.”


That's okay. You paid for the clothes.” Morgan said. “Try to stay out of any more trouble until we get there please.”


I will. I love you guys. Please give everybody a hug for me.”


We will. Bye Dad.”


Despite what you have planned for me I'm still going to give you a massage.” Elaine said pulling me up from the couch.


There's a few things we need to take care of before dinner.” Sanne said. “So we'll leave you to it.”


On our way to the bathroom I smelled food being cooked downstairs. Elaine told me to pretend I hadn't noticed. This is Lao's idea she told me. I agreed that since I didn't have wake at four I could go to sleep an hour or two later and get in my meditation. Sanne and the kids were setting the table when we came downstairs. Hans reminded me I hadn't paid them for helping with Elaine earlier.


Do you want two quick kisses or one extra special one Marikie?” I asked her. She chose the special one.


Sanne and Elaine enjoyed the performance. Sanne hugged a wide-eyed Marikie when I set her back on her feet. Hans was staring at me with his mouth wide open. Marikie asked me if Morgan knew that kiss. I told her it didn't matter if he knew it or not. She could teach it to him or help him practice. Marikie told me the meditations had made me very smart. Sanne suggested we go join Bram at the fire pit. Before we left the cabin she surprised me again by taking a six-pack of beer from the fridge. Lao insisted we celebrate me making it through the nine days.


Without making him die from embarrassment.” Elaine added.


You are very close to being kissed.” I warned Bram when he told me he was cooking steaks and potatoes for dinner.


Run, Dad.” Hans shouted.


Bram laughed when Sanne explained what had happened in the cabin. He suggested I give his thank you kiss to Marikie. Marikie told me Morgan could settle up for me. She knew I was still weak from the meditations. Elaine said it was best not to put too much strain on my heart by kissing a girl as pretty as Marikie twice in an hour. Safer to have a beer she said handing me one.


Elaine did get kissed when she returned to the cabin with a cheesecake in each hand. I thanked them for everything before we ate. The meal was incredible. A fitting end to a very tumultuous week I told them. Then I took my third beer out to the deck to meditate for three hours. I repeated the ninth mantra for the first hour. Then I ran through all the mantras in sequence for the remaining two hours. I was feeling so good I spent another hour out on the deck before going to bed. The thought of the boys being with me in twenty-four hours made me smile. Two of them would be getting a sound spanking which meant I'd get to fuck two bright red asses. Before going to sleep I jacked off thinking of fucking those cherry red butts.


When I entered the kitchen the next morning Sanne handed me a mug of coffee and told me she'd only got here a few minutes ago. Elaine joined us with her a mug of coffee in hand. While we waited for the breakfast casserole to cook we stepped out on the deck to watch enjoy the light dancing on the water. Bram joined us after taking the kids to school. We were enjoying our post breakfast coffee when Eliasz called.


Leslie warned me but you look worse than ever. Are you sure we should talk business and not get drunk?” Eliasz asked. “There is some disturbing news about our supply of meat. The clever computer man at the bank said if I emailed you this diagram you'd understand.


The farms are the blue areas. They are in a U-shape on the slopes of a mountain. The area in green is vacant land. My friend the bank manager tells me a large agricultural company has made inquiries about purchasing the land. You are right it isn't good farming land that high up but they will also be given water rights. This will allow them to put the farms lower down out of business and buy them at a very low price.


Sanne, the family that owns the land has tried to keep up payments but illness and medical bills have hurt them financially. They have to sell the land and need to get this price to become solvent again. The farmers won't start making money until we buy their animals so they cannot afford it. My question Rohan is if we should buy the land? I know our business is the meat side but this would protect our supply. I don't know enough about farming to know if we can make money from the land. That is why I am calling you? Maybe you know somebody who can help us?”


The pretty lady to my right knows a lot about plants and vegetables.” I said with a smile. “What do you think Sanne?”


How much time do we have to decide? The weekend will be enough time.” Sanne asked Eliasz. “How much information did the clever computer guy put together? Wait while I check my email. The man is very clever. Please email me the maps and surveys. Then I would like you to find out from the farmers how much water they need. Can you do that before tomorrow night? They have a representative you can call with questions? Clever thinking.


Eliasz it is possible to do terrace farming if we have enough water. Rohan wanted organic vegetables for the farmers and their animals. Do you think they will mind helping to work the land? Your business will need to make a profit to pay back the investment so you will have to find somebody to oversee the operation. You can decide how to split the yield when you have an idea of how much you get for the vegetables. I can give you an approximate yield.


Thank you, Feliks, for calling him. There will be enough water for everybody plus some we can store. Yes, the storage tanks will cost money but it will cost more if you have a drought and lose the farms. Feliks can you call the man back and ask if he knows of a crop farmer Eliasz can speak to tonight? I will go across to the office and be back in thirty minutes. Call me back then and if you can please have the farmer on the other line.”


Rohan you are a lucky man to have such smart and pretty friends.” Eliasz said.


Bram is even luckier.” I said with a smile. “That man over there is married to her.”


You made a very good decision, friend Bram.” Eliasz said.


I am happy with the way it has worked out so far.” Bram said hugging Sanne.


So far?” Sanne said and kissed him as she swatted his butt. “Let me go do my calculations.”


Hello, Eliasz.” Elaine greeted him exactly thirty minutes later. “Here's Sanne.”


Bram wrote down how much they could sell the various vegetables for and calculated the gross profit. Sanne had made a list of what could be grown at that altitude and how much the land could carry. Sanne shared her plan, the estimated yield and how she planned to rest part of the land. Her plan impressed the farmer who was even more impressed when he learned she had come up with it from the pictures and surveys. A lot depends on the soil she told us. We may need to spend six months building it up. The farmer said it was good soil but there wasn't much of it. Sanne asked him tor an estimate of what soil would cost and together they figured out how much they'd need.


Eliasz please ask him if he knows of somebody who can oversee the operation for us if the figures add up.” I said while Sanne and Bram crunched the numbers. “No I don't have any objection to somebody very young being in charge. You will need to interview him first and check with the other farmers. Sanne I'd like you to chat with him as well if you don't mind. Eliasz ask if you can meet him tomorrow and we'll chat with you. Does this time work for you? Good.


Now what's the problem Eliasz? Why won't he tell you the man's name? I don't care if he's recommending a family member. Tell him we won't give him the job if we don't believe he is the right person to run things. Charge the company for the dinner Eliasz and be sure to have him bring his family with him. We'd like to meet them all. You can have dinner at the apartment or go out to eat. I don't mind.


Sanne says we need to know how much of the vegetables the farmers want in exchange for helping work the land before she can come up with a final figure. She also needs to know how many hours they are willing to work. They still have to keep their farms going. Eliasz when you meet our new friend please ask him if he knows of people he can hire if we need extra help. Good point, Bram. Eliasz I want the animal farmers to give me the amount of time they'll be working per week. How much will be on their farm and how much on the vegetables. You Polish people think nothing of spending every minute working from sunrise to sunset. I won't allow that nonsense.


Please give the owners of the land a call to let them know we are considering buying the land. Unless the farmers are very greedy it looks like a worthwhile investment. Eliasz if you want to talk figures you will have to chat with Bram and Sanne. I'll let you continue chatting while I run off for a couple of hours with the other pretty lady. Come on Elaine it's time for your surprise.”


I waited on her porch while she changed into jeans and boots. Then I led her to the garage. Elaine wasn't certain what I was up to until I tossed a helmet at her.


You'll be riding Adam's bike today.” I said. “Have you ridden one before? Then let's take it slow up to the parking area and I'll give you some lessons.”


Elaine bravely followed me off the road. I kept to the easiest trails for the first hour. When we stopped for a break I was glad to see her smiling. I thanked her for keeping me company while I waited for the boys. She told me she was just as eager to see them. We were approaching the main county road when I thought I saw a car just like our car rental approaching. I pulled over and offered Elaine some water while I waited for the car to get closer. When it turned on to the gravel road I shouted for joy.


Your helmet, Rohan.” Elaine reminded me. I was so excited to meet the boys I'd almost drive off and left it behind on the ground.


Despite seeing the video of my massage and chatting with me my sons burst into tears when they saw how thin I was. Sophie and Amanda couldn't hide their shock either. Morgan declared it a miracle I had enough strength to ride the bike. Only J was able to look deeper and see some hint of the change within me. Elaine calmly waited out the storm of tears before greeting everybody.


Let's get back to the cabin and I'll update you.” I said. “Where's Lawrence?”


He's busy quelling a threatened strike by his staff in response to a pay increase he wants to give them.” Morgan said. “I think it's a world first for staff threatening to go on strike because the boss wants to pay them too much.”


We told Richard to spank some sense into him and follow when Lawrence saw reason.” Dylan said. “They will be along soon. Lawrence is eager to see you Dad.


Elaine you'd better text Sanne and let her know we have guests for lunch.” I said as I put my helmet on.


Sanne got that text last night.” Elaine told me. “I agreed to keep it as a surprise.”


When we got back to the cabin the boys insisted I chat with their moms while they washed my bike. They chatted with Elaine about how good it felt to ride the trails. Sometime this weekend she had to try the drops.


What did I promise to do for the school to get the boys off early?” I asked Sophie as J brought out some beers from the cabin.


Nothing this time.” Sophie told me. “The principal told me the boys were not allowed to attend school today. Some of the teachers had noticed something wrong when you had your meltdown and got the boys to tell them what was happening. She said the boys needed to get here as soon as possible and if we didn't go along with her plan she'd suspend them for a day. We could appeal the suspension but the earliest we could have the hearing would be Tuesday.”


She didn't tell us until yesterday and we had a few things to take care of this morning or we'd have come up last night.” Amanda said. “I think it is a good thing you got an extra night of rest. You might want to turn out the lights before the boys see you naked tonight.”


That will make showering tricky.” Adam said as the boys rejoined us.


Elaine has braved the sight for so long I'm sure she won't mind doing it for another couple of days.” Amanda said.


She's seen more than enough.” Dylan said. “We're here to give her a break.”


The sooner we get the car unloaded the sooner we can have lunch.” Sophie said.


I overrode their protests and helped unload the car. The boys handed me two stunning bouquets. They had chosen colors that matched the inside of each home. I wrote a quick thank you note and headed off to give the ladies their flowers. Elaine and Sanne hunted the boys down and kissed them. The boys told them they would give them their thank you gifts after lunch. They wanted to get started on fattening me up right away.


The boys tried to sit down next to me on the bench but I pulled two of them on my lap. They asked me questions about Genta while we watched J and Bram prepare some Philly cheese steak sandwiches on the fire pit. Sophie sat down next to us and sighed. She agreed it was nice to know where to find J. Then she asked me to tell them more abut Genta. I told her I'd recorded all my chats with Daizan so they could see Genta. Ignoring their protests I slung them over my shoulders and carried them into the cabin. Sophie tickled them all the way inside.


Sophie said she could see how Daizan might believe Genta would be departing soon. I told her I'd see what I could do to revive his flagging spirits. She asked the boys to make certain I didn't get too drunk next weekend. The man deserves one last good drinking session and I can't think of a better person than you for it Sophie told me. I hugged her and whispered thank you. Yes we really did spend an entire weekend drunk I told the boys. We started drinking after lunch on Friday and stopped late Sunday night. They agreed that five a.m. Monday morning was late Sunday night. Elaine said it looked like I'd just earned a lot of street cred.


Lawrence and Richard drove into the yard just as we stepped out of the cabin.


Has anybody told you that you look like death?” Lawrence asked.


Not in the last hour.” I told him as we hugged.


Everybody collapsed in laughter when Richard said I should put on some ankle weights before I farted and took off like a balloon. The boys kindly offered to put some weight on my ankles and hips and one or two other places. Elaine had to text Richard's comment to the rest of the gang.


We joined the cooks at the fire pit. Dylan asked how my chat with Eliasz had gone. They'd chatted with Tomek earlier this morning and he'd mentioned Eliasz would be calling me. I shared the gist of it with them but told them my eyes had glazed over when the number started getting thrown around. Sanne took over and explained in greater detail. The boys asked her a lot of questions about her plans. She agreed to show them some of her books on gardening after lunch so they could get a better idea of her plan. Morgan told me to make use of this time to rest up.


I remember a visit I made to the cabin recently where a certain scoundrel mothered me.” Dylan added. “You can expect a lot of mothering from all three of us.”


Make that five of us.” Amanda said handing me a beer.


Are you still glad to see us?” Adam asked.


More than you will ever know.” I said.


Dylan gave Sanne a ride to fetch her books after lunch and I settled down with the boys and their moms to see what Sanne had planned. The simplicity was very appealing. The more I learned the more excited I became to see it in practice. When the questions dried up I asked if we could take a break so I could bake us a treat for tea. The boys requested profiteroles. Amanda gave me a hand. Sophie and Sanne headed outside to let the cooks know to join us for tea in about an hour. The boys asked Elaine to show them the laughing Buddha statue on the deck.


Before we sit down for tea I have to make you another smoothie.” Elaine told me. “You will be drinking them for a while. Lao is showing Tracy how to prepare them this weekend.”


The boys watched closely as I drank it. They told me I had either done an incredible job hiding my dislike of the smoothie or I really had enjoyed it. Elaine said it was the mantras kicking in that helped me acquire a genuine liking for the ghastly things. The boys agreed with her that it seemed like a very high price to pay just to enjoy a smoothie. Amanda told me she was grateful she would never know how much of a price I'd paid to acquire the taste for them. Elaine told me she'd brew up my herbal tea for the rest of the day when we'd finished our more conventional tea and treats.


We went outside and played some Frisbee. Dylan marked out an area around me with string and told me not to step outside it. I enjoyed the challenge of catching the Frisbee in such a small area. The others told me getting it to me within such a small area made them concentrate more. Lawrence told me to keep playing because I didn't have dinner to cook. Stephen had prepared roast chicken and sides for us and sent it over with Lawrence. Amanda and Sophie were heating the sides in the kitchen while J and Bram warmed the chicken. Elaine went in to make the salad. I was happy to keep playing Frisbee with the kids.


Elaine took me upstairs for a massage before dinner. She promised to call the boys when I was ready for my shower. The sooner they see you naked the sooner they can get over the shock she told me. They are going to see you naked tonight so there's no sense in delaying it. There was nothing I could say to refute her logic so I settled down to enjoy the massage.


Go get into the shower. I'll send them up to you.” Elaine told me.


The boys were so shocked they didn't shed a tear. Morgan told me it was terrible how much I'd let myself go the moment the three of them left me alone for a week. Religion will do that to you I said.


Come on guys it's not that bad.” I told them trying to cheer them up. “Lao, Mu and Dr. Phyllis will put the pounds back on me in no time. Now which one of you guys do I wash first and speaking of putting weight back on I hope you have lots of cream for me.”


Despite their obvious enjoyment of being blown and finger-fucked it was three very subdued boys I led back to the others. Sophie brought over a tray with four glasses on it. Three of the glasses had a single shot of brandy and mine had a double shot. The boys knocked it back in a single gulp. Elaine said Tracy would have been so proud. When the boys thanked Sophie she told them it was Elaine's idea.


What do you boys think I did when I left after seeing him like that?” Elaine asked when they hugged her. “I cried for a long time on Lao's shoulder. You boys got over the tears very quickly.”


We couldn't cry.” Dylan said. “Yes, Mom, it might be we cried enough when we first saw him.”


No, we didn't.” Adam said. “This is one of those moments when we see just how much he loves us. I don't think I could take it all in or accept the reality. What scares me the most is I can feel a deepening of his love for us.”


You're right, Adam.” Morgan said. “Rohan's energy feels deeper. More like Lao's energy than the Rohan we knew a week ago. More embracing.”


I thought I was just imagining it because I was here when he had his meltdown.” Elaine said. “Good to hear Morgan describe exactly what I've felt these last two days. Shall we get on with our fatten Rohan project?”


You guys go ahead.” Dylan told us. “I need to make a quick call. Dad I'll literally be just a few minutes. Yes, it is that important.”


Dylan rejoined us just a few minutes later. He warned me he would be receiving a conformation text soon but he wouldn't need to respond. I thanked him for letting me know and I trusted his judgment that it was necessary. Stephen's cooking keeps getting better and better Elaine said. Lawrence said he was gaining more confidence in trusting his intuition. Richard thanked me for unleashing this monster within Stephen.


I stood in the kitchen looking at the two chocolate cakes that were for dessert. The others waited at the table for me to serve dessert.


I thought Lao told us he was okay.” Adam said looking down at his sliver of chocolate cake. The others were also looking at their thin slice in shock.


Is your fear of how much I've changed that great?” I asked taking my seat. “Trust me I have it all under control. We all need to give an honest assessment of Stephen's chocolate cake. The sooner you get done the sooner I can start phase two of dessert.”


Better be ready to start in three seconds, Dad.” Dylan told me taking his first bite. “Well I can honestly tell him it is delicious. Lots of chocolate and very moist.”


Good now I want you all to go sit on the couch and watch some TV.” I told them. “No peeking allowed so if you need any drinks get them now.”


Elaine insisted on giving me a hand with my plan. The others insisted somebody would help me when I started to protest.


Oh, Rohan, it's such a relief to have you back.” Elaine said hugging me and kissing me loudly when she saw the first bowl of dessert I'd assembled.


Eyes front.” I told them. “None of you are old enough to see how Elaine's treating me.”


Dad, is that the third kiss I hear?” Dylan asked. “You're giving him two for every bowl Elaine. That's a lot of kisses. Let me know if you need me to take over.”


Thanks Dylan but I'm not letting him go just yet.” Elaine said. “I've worked too hard and waited too long for this moment.”


Are you done?” I asked Elaine.


Now I'm done.” she answered giving me one more long, lingering kiss. “Everybody close your eyes. We're going to set these beauties on the coffee table. On the count of three you can open your eyes. One. Two. Three.”


Holy crap!” Adam exclaimed when he saw what I'd done. “Now that's what I call a dessert. Did you?”


Yes but just a hint in Hans' serving.” I said handing Hans the bowl I was keeping separate.


The bowls were full of a large slice of chocolate cake topped with ice-cream, whipped cream, chocolate sprinkles and lots of custard. The adult portions had a double shot and the kids got a single shot of brandy in their custard. Hans was so grateful I had put any brandy in his dessert at all that he walked over and kissed me. Bram told me that it was the first time Hans had ever given somebody a kiss in the past four years.


I wonder what will happen when he's eaten it.Sanne said with a smile. “He might give you two more kisses.”


Hans said he would only do that if I gave him seconds. Sanne said it looked like he had enough in his bowl. I think I might be able to save some chocolate cake for tomorrow morning I told Hans. The boys said they had plenty in their bowl. I sat down between Adam and Dylan to enjoy my dessert. Morgan asked if I would confirm this was the bed and breakfast I had in mind for next weekend.


Rohan, it looks lovely.” Sophie said as Morgan scrolled through the pictures. There was a gym with a steam room, sauna and indoor pool.


What a coincidence that it has four-poster beds.” Amanda said. “They look just like the one in your room.”


Quite a coincidence.” I told them. “Yes, boys, this is the one I think we will stay at. The lovely owners do a great breakfast. There are two rooms upstairs and at the back of the house that connect and can form a suite. You get two bedrooms and two bathrooms this way. Rooms eight and nine. I like room nine because it has a private balcony. Good place to meditate. Now that you are here can I book the rooms?”


Yes, Dad, you can but you have to use this card.” Dylan told me handing me a debit card with his name on. “Us boys were wondering what we could give you as a thank you gift for establishing MAD Rohan's Vegetables. Frederick helped us each get set up at a local bank. All three of us are paying for the weekend. That includes the car rental and gas. The entire trip is on us, Dad.”


Unless there is another gift you'd like.” Adam said. “I'm glad this will do. Now why don't you make the call.”


Only after I give you guys a thank you kiss.” I said. “Hello, Jonathan, how are you? Yes this is Rohan calling. Good ear. Next weekend if possible. Friday and Saturday nights. Yes, both rooms please. There will be four of us. Me and three miscreants. No it seems the miscreants want to pay so I'll give you their card number. Okay we can do it that way if you promise not to bill me but charge them. We'll arrive around six. I'll bring them straight over from school. Send it to their email please. Thank you. Looking forward to seeing you next week.”


I told the boys Jonathan had my card on file and would use this to hold the room. That way he could just charge their card when they got there. Jonathan will be sending you an email confirming the reservation. We are all set. The boys told me they had bought a couple of board games but wanted to keep them for tomorrow night. Tomorrow we will also be playing croquet Adam told me.


What were your plans for tonight?” I asked. “Anything in particular?”


You're going to bed early.” Dylan told me. “Don't worry Elaine we won't keep him up long. I just want to hold him and wake up with him. Dad I want you to have another day of fattening up before I'll even consider allowing you to flog me. Don't be surprised if it doesn't happen this weekend though. I'll have to consult in private with J and Leslie before making my decision. Now let me take your bowl so we can get the dishes cleaned and walk our friends home.”


The other adults joined Sanne and me for the nightcap I'd promised her yesterday or the day before. I was still finding it hard to keep track of events. Elaine brought down a thick sweater for me to wear. Dylan told me the change made by the mantras was impressive. You accepted that sweater without any protest and you've almost finished the entire flask of tea without flinching he explained. Adam said they weren't under the impression I would give in to every demand. They were looking forward to our conference call so they could get a better understanding of the changes. Morgan told me it was very important to know your lover.


I am looking forward to the conference call as well.” Sanne said when she kissed me goodnight. “Right now I don't know if I need to warn you to take it easy or trust you to do it on your own. I will go with trusting you to do what's best. Yes, Adam, I do have that much faith in the meditations he completed. You had to be there but I think Elaine will back me up.”


Yes, it is strange but this new depth makes me think warnings or cautioning Rohan is no longer necessary.” Elaine said. “Now let's get him back and into bed.”


Amanda said she'd make use of the extra bed in Elaine's cottage. Sophie and J would sleep in the spare room. Lawrence and Richard drove back to the hotel. Who knows what damage my underpaid minions might cause if I wasn't there tonight Lawrence told us as he kissed us good night. Richard thought he was just worried they'd increase his profits and he wouldn't be able to complain about how broke he was. Lawrence threatened to give Richard an increase. Richard calmly told him the last increase of several inches was still keeping him very happy. That got Lawrence to get the car started in a hurry. We were still laughing when they drove away.


Rohan, I am looking forward to being able to relax and not worry about checking in on you but I want you to know I was very happy to do it.” Elaine said looking me straight in the eye. “I got to share stuff that nobody else will. Thank you for trusting me to honor and respect such an amazing sharing. No matter what happens I have no doubt the boys are very, very lucky to have you in their lives. Good night everybody.”


Good night, Elaine. Good night, Amanda.” the rest chorused.


Dylan beat his Mom and J to it by telling them to keep the door to their room tightly shut because I needed to get lots of rest. Sophie asked me to give him six swats on her behalf. I promised to give six to all three so none of them got jealous. J told me he'd wait until after the conference call but he wanted some time alone with me to talk about my experiences. I told him to send Leslie a text asking her to arrange the conference call for tomorrow afternoon. The sooner I reassure everybody the sooner I get to give my sons a sound thrashing I declared.


Six each.” I said picking up the tawes after we'd all stripped. “I want you to come out on the balcony one at a time and lean on the railing. Don't take too long deciding who's first.”


Morgan didn't hesitate to step out side with me. I placed my left hand between his shoulders and paused a moment to admire the curve of his back and legs. There was plenty of moonlight to bathe his gorgeous body. The six strokes added a nice touch of color to his cheeks. I hugged and kissed him before letting him go back inside. The three boys were spread out across the width of the bed. Propped up demurely against the pillows with the bedding pulled up to their chins.


Room for one more?” I asked from the foot of the bed.


One more what?” Adam asked. “Swat, kiss, hug?”


Suck, fuck, stroke?” Morgan continued.


Hug, ravishment, fingering?” Dylan finished.


All of them.” I said.


Hey, you're supposed to wait for our answer.” Dylan squawked as I burrowed under the covers and took his cock in my mouth. “However, I might overlook you breaking the rules if you... Oh I seem to have a mind reader blowing me.”


Is he reading or blowing your mind?” Morgan asked snuggling up close. Adam had moved in from the other side to kiss Dylan.


Both.” Dylan gasped jerking as my fingers stretched his hole open a little wider. Keeping my fingers apart I slid them in and out. Stretching his passage for the length of my fingers I introduce Dylan to some new sensations. “That's incredible, Scoundrel. Yes! Right there! Not so hard or...oh fuck, fuck, fuck. Sorry, Scoundrel.”


Down under the covers I wasn't in the least but sorry he'd cum so soon. I'd found not being able to look up at his body as I pleasured him very hot. Tempting as it was to pleasure the others this way I wanted to look into their eyes as they bucked in pleasure beneath me. Grabbing Adam's ankles I flipped him on his stomach and pulled him down beneath the covers. I feasted on his ass for a few minutes before pushing him back up. Then rearing up I let the blankets fall from me and looked down at him.


Hold still, scurvy knave. This won't hurt me a bit.” I told him as I guided my cock into his cleft. The pressure of his hole against the head of my cock was no more than a kiss in passing as I kept pressing down. The rest of my cock slipped smoothly and quickly into Adam's wonderful ass.


Still reading minds and humping behinds.” Adam said when my groin compressed his cheeks. “Fuck I've missed you and the fucking as well. Run out of energy so soon? This isn't a pause it's a fully fledged nap, Dad. You better get a move on if you plan on buggering Morgan before we kiss you good night.”


He's not joking, Dad.” Dylan said. “We are mothering you so get on with getting your son off.”


That was the comment I'd been waiting for. My body was still weak and knowing this had made me eager to fuck the three of you and drop off to sleep but I didn't want to cause you to worry even more. Now there was no need to restrain myself. I breathed deeply. Silently repeating a mantra or two inside of me I set about pounding my son. Once I had him writhing nicely I withdrew entirely from him and turned him over. Lifting his legs up against my chest I penetrated him again. This time when I fucked him I reached down to stroke him. Taking a page out of Dylan's book I smacked is balls. The surprise factor caused him to gasp and buck and cum within seconds. I rode out his orgasm by focusing on the wonderful sight of his cock pumping cum down over his body.


There's no way I'm doing Morgan until I've licked you clean, Son.” I told him as I withdrew from his ass. “I've been denied these treats for ten days. Dylan get Morgan primed for me. I don't think I'll be able to hold out for long. You boys are so fucking hot and I've missed you.”


Despite the weakness I was feeling I intended to make this special for the boys. Rolling off Adam and over Dylan who was licking Morgan's cock and balls I ended up next to the bed.


That's enough loitering with evil intent.” I declare picking Morgan up and turning to brace him against the wall. Folding him in half with his ass resting in my groin I penetrate him before he could gather himself.


This time I didn't hesitate to drive myself as hard and as deep as I could from the very first thrust. I spread his legs apart just enough to get my head between them and kiss him. Deep kisses filled with all the hunger that had built up for the boys these past ten days. Leaning forward I pressed him harder against the wall. The pleasure grew more and more intense. I allowed the sensations to form a web within me. Spreading out to touch me on the inside just as my cock sliding in and out his tight ass caused my skin to shiver in delight. Two more thrusts I told myself.


I love you, Morgan.” I said and relaxed into the head spinning pleasure of my orgasm. I stood with my hips twitching for an eternity as all the longing drained out of me to leave a white, sticky mess in this loving boy's ass.


Turning around I gently laid Morgan down on his back with his feet flat on the floor. Kneeling between his bent legs I licked him clean. Glancing over to Dylan I motioned him in close.


Start jerking off boys. I want those second loads of yours and I want it with minimal effort.” I said. How wonderful it was to lick, kiss and suck on Morgan while my sons stroked their cocks just above my head.


Now, Dad!” Dylan gasped. I turned my head in his direction and let him pump cum into my mouth. Time for a quick lick before I swung my head around to catch Adam's load.


Your ass is first up in the morning, Dylan.” I said as the three of them washed me. “Adam have I given you any reason to believe I won't be up for it?”


The fifty pounds you seem to have lost this week seem like fifty good reasons to me.” Adam said.


Apart from those fifty reasons have I given you ant reason to doubt I'm fit enough?” I asked. “You can blame your concern for my well-being for the trip you'll be taking across my knee tomorrow morning. The number fifty springs to mind for some reason. Dylan how else can you find out if I'm fit enough to flog you both? Thank your brother for volunteering to help us find out.”


Early the next morning I set a chair on the balcony and meditated while I waited for the boys to wake. They came over to me to give me a kiss each. I swallowed a load of Dylan's cum. Then I had Morgan kneel in front of me on the chair and fuck my face while Adam lubed Dylan.


Please go shower and then get coffee started for the others, Morgan.” I said as I placed a thank you kiss on each of his drained balls. “There is a thermos in the cupboard somewhere. Warm it up and fill it with the first pot. Then get a second pot started. Oh, you also have to defend the stove from any attempt by somebody to seize control. I'll send you some back up soon.


Go stand in the corner with your hands on your head, Adam. I'll deal with you later. Because you are so concerned about me getting enough rest Dylan you can settle yourself on my lap. You'll find it more comfortable if you let my cock slide into your gorgeous ass.”


Are you certain, Scoundrel?” Dylan asked as he impaled himself. “Now I have something thick and hard inside me. Pressing against me and causing my body to twitch and spasm.”


All you have to do is work up some heat and the hardness will melt.” I said. “Yes, friction works very nicely.”


I let my head rest against the railing and watched the wonderful sight of Dylan raising and lowering himself on my cock. He was kneeling on the chair and bracing his hands on the armrests as he rode me. I gave him a spanking with my hand. Sharp, stinging blows that caused his inner muscles to clamp down on me. The spanking stopped when he groaned loudly in pleasure and told me how hot he was. Mindful we were outside he gritted his teeth as the pleasure steadily increased and increased and took us both over the top.


Sitting motionless beneath him as he slammed down on me one last time I let my cock twitch and jerk inside him as I climaxed. I gave his cock another couple of strokes before allowing him to climb off me. Kneeling in front of him I licked him clean. Dylan gave me a puzzled look when I told him to lie down with his head of the pillow on the floor. I had to add a second one before his head was at the right height. He grinned when I sat with my ass on the edge of the bed and my genitals resting on his face.


Get over here, Adam. You know the drill.” I told him. “No, I'm not going to blow you before I start spanking you. That will delay everybody's breakfast. When you are on the brink of cumming let me know.


Dylan you better not get confused and lick on the wrong set of cock and balls down there or I won't spank you this entire weekend. Your brother is getting a warm up of twenty and a spanking of fifty. Make certain I'm perfectly primed when that last blow lands. Yes, you guessed it is the same punishment if you blow it.”


Spreading my legs a little wider I gave Adam's cock the space it needed. Twenty very firm warm up smacks later I asked if he wanted the rest with my hand or an implement. Adam chose my hand. Yes he told me he was okay but barely. I gave him fifteen hard swats and pressed my legs closed. Trapping his cock between my thighs it took five more blows to get Adam begging for release. I let him stand on the bed and feed me his load. Thirty more ought to have him more than ready for a fucking. I was already eager to get into his hot ass.


Let's see if you've gone soft on me while I've been away.” I told Adam.


The sound of my hand striking his cheeks with extra force echoed in the room. Adam's arched his back under the flurry of blows that rained down on him. I pressed him down but there was nothing I could do about his bucking hips. Dylan prevented me from swinging a leg over to hold him in place. Aiming my blows to strike from a variety of angels I drove him back on my lap when he threatened to slide off.


When the count reached fifty I didn't hesitate. I set him on his feet facing the wall and stood up behind him. Adam managed to brace himself just in time as I plunged into him. Tears were still flowing as I fucked my son. How hot it was to hear his cries of pleasure interrupted with sobs. The broken sounds continued as I strove to break him. Brutally I kept my hips pumping through my orgasm. I'd spun Adam around and he came cursing me directly in my face.


You are one hot fuck.” I told him and kissed him hungrily. Then I quickly ate my treat off him. Slinging them both under my arms I headed for the door. Dylan followed my instructions to poke his head out and make certain Sophie wasn't in the corridor. We slipped quickly into the bathroom.


We took our quickest shower ever. I sent the boys down to offer Morgan some support.


Morgan where is my mug of coffee?” I called down the stairs. “Dylan will be down in a minute to get it. Please have it ready. I'd hate to make it through the hell of my meditations and die of dehydration. Don't forget the whiskey and cream. I heard you Elaine. There's no such thing as too much cream.”


Everybody had to kiss me on the way to the stove. Hans even joined the line. I told J there was no sense in sitting down because I'd soon have the biscuits dough ready. Unknown to them I was sounding the mantras silently within me. I started by saying them in the order they had been given to me but soon I just let them rise up spontaneously. Like some kid absentmindedly tossing pebbles into a creek.


Come back in a few minutes for the breakfast steak.” I told a startled J as I thrust the bowl of dough in his hands. He was still staring so I kissed him soundly. Sophie swatted his butt which got him moving. “Thanks, Sophie. I don't know what's got into him this morning. The spare room obviously worked for the two of you.”


Never mind J what's gotten into you?” Sophie said as I worked quickly on slicing the meat and vegetables.


Nobody yet despite all their threats to mother me.” I said reaching for the spices. “J seems a little sluggish. Sophie, please take this out to him. Maybe he needs more coffee. Half the herbs first. Toss the meat and then the rest. All of the mix, please. Ask Bram how long the biscuits will be. I need to time the greens and eggs. Thank you, Sophie. Now which of you scurvy knaves is up to kiss the chef next?”


We all are.” the boys said with a smile.


Thank you. Now scoot. Scram! I've got the smoothies. Take Elaine for a walk by the lake and steal a few kisses.” I ordered.


They will have to steal their kisses right here. I'm not missing this show for anything.” Elaine said.


Neither are we.” Dylan agreed. “Fine we'll sit on the couch but that's as far as I will retreat.”


Looks like Leslie calling.” I told them when the notification appeared on the computer screen.


Good morning, boys. What's got you three grinning like that or am I too young to know?” Leslie said with a smile. “Rohan in the kitchen. Yes that's the perfect angle. Thank you, Morgan. Wow! He's making my head spin. Are the herbs in his smoothie legal?”


J couldn't get his head to move.” Elaine said. “He was in shock. Sophie's dosing him up with some medicinal coffee.”


Conference call at three today.” I repeated. “Thank you for letting us know. What do you have planned for ten this morning? Eliasz is calling to chat and I thought it would be nice if you joined in. Do you think Ivan will be able to make it? He's input would be very valuable.”


He's in the kitchen cooking breakfast.” Leslie told us. “I'm pretty certain I'll have him dressed at ten. Elaine, that whirlwind in the kitchen isn't the only one to like having naked men close at hand. We only have just over an hour so I'd better say good-bye for now.”


What now, scurvy knaves?” I asked seeing them staring at me with wide-eyes. “The greens will cook down. You know that.”


The moment those greens are done I've got to try some.” Adam said. “Dad, you seasoned them with one hand while pouring the smoothie into a pitcher. You weren't even looking.”


Hogwash! You just missed me looking back at them.” I declared.


Then we missed you doing it three times because I saw you sprinkle in three different herbs.” Morgan said.


Serves me right for telling you boys you can create your own reality.” I said. “Elaine, keep a close eye on the brandy when these three are nearby.”


Never mind these three I'm going to join J by the fire pit.” Elaine declared. “My reality just lurched quite a bit.”


We'll join you after we tasted some greens.” Adam told her. “Keep that brandy close.”


Let's grab a cup of coffee and go get some medicine from Elaine.” Dylan said after they'd tasted the greens. “Dad if my reality is going to lurch like a drunk staggering home from the bar then if I get drunk it might help balance things out. I won't know if it's a sound theory until I try it out.”


They were kind enough to kiss me before heading to the fire pit. Sanne came in to greet me. She had the breakfast steak and sautéed vegetables with her. The others are tidying up and bringing in the breakfast. I poured the beaten eggs into three skillets. Sprinkled herbs and cheese into each skillet. Then I let my hands dance from skillet to skillet shaking them gently or stirring them softly with a spatula. The eggs didn't need a lot of attention so I paid a little more attention to the mantras within me. Turning my awareness inwards caused the mantras to swell up within me like a cat reaching up to be petted. I smiled and amused myself by switching the pans around from burner to burner.


He's still at it.” Adam warned. “The sooner we sit down the sooner he will serve us.”


Adam was proven correct. There wasn't much I could get up to just eating. I let them talk as I worked through a couple of plates of breakfast. Good job on the biscuits and steak I complimented J and Bram. J decided he definitely didn't need to hear about the greens one more time. Stop tormenting J or I'll make love to you boys for four solid hours I warned them. You can kiss him if you give him a kiss from me I told them.


Our conference call begins in just a few minutes.” I told everybody. “Let's get the table cleared. We can set the remaining biscuits on the coffee table. You boys are welcome to the job of cleaning the dishes. I'm heading to the kitchen to take my cakes out of the oven.”


When did you put these together?” Morgan asked as I pulled four cake pans from the oven.


While you were testing Dylan's theory of the drunken reality. They're simple sponge cakes. Nothing to them.” I said setting the cakes on a rack to cool. “Elaine please keep an eye on the computer for us.”


Ivan and Leslie had called Eliasz a little earlier to get an update on what was happening. Promptly at ten they drew us into the call. Leslie said she knew somebody would be ready to chat. Elaine told her she 'd appointed Hans our representative. She confessed to having bribed him with the promise of a biscuit and maple syrup. Hans said he would have held out for two biscuits but he saw me taking the cakes out of the oven and wanted to save room.


Very smart, Hans.” Leslie complimented him. “I can see why Elaine chose you. Now why don't we get started so Hans can enjoy his treat.”


Rohan, you have a deserved reputation for generosity in Katowice that grows daily.” Eliasz began. “Tonight you treated Kazimierz and his lovely wife Natalia to a fine dinner. We also invited Wincenty to join us. He represents the farmers we are trying to help. I thought it would be easier if he was here in person instead of on the phone with Feliks.”


The meal was delicious. Thank you, Rohan.” Wincenty said.


Yes, it was and thank you for giving me a chance to work for you.” Kazimierz said.


You are both welcome. A pleasure to meet you.” I said. Then I let everybody introduce themselves. “Bram and Sanne can discuss the figures with you. I'll trust their judgment about the profits we can make. What I want to know is how many hours the farmers will work per week? Forty-two hours. That's not too bad but I'd like them to drop an hour each day so it is thirty-five per week.”


Rohan, I don't think you understand.” Leslie said. “Eliasz I know how he feels about people overworking and he won't allow this at all. When they say forty-two hours they mean per farm. They will work six hours at each farm seven days a week. Yes, that's eighty-four hours in total per week.”


Kazimierz you will talk to my good friend Bram about the hours the farmers will work each week.” I declared in a dangerously soft tone that caused Leslie to wince visibly. “They will work closer to half that number even if I have to hire them extra help. This point is not negotiable. I am going to do you a favor and get myself a cup of coffee with some whiskey.”


While I was getting my medicine Sanne chatted about her plans with Kazimierz. She asked if he had any ideas and listened attentively to his plans to rebuild the soil. He also told her the Swiss knew a lot about building on the sides of mountains and he would do some research on their techniques. Sanne looked at me and nodded when I took my seat. Bram had asked him about the structures on the land. Kazimierz told Bram the house and barn would need some repairs but were structurally sound.


I think we've questioned Kazimierz quite enough. Eliasz, Feliks and Ivan you will be working with him a lot closer what do you think about hiring him? Good. I'm glad you agree with us. Kazimierz before we settle on your salary I will need to learn more about what your duties will include from Sanne and Bram. All I can tell you is it will be more than the going rate but you might have one or two extra duties. Now do you have any questions you need to ask us?”


Leslie and Ivan have agreed we will chat more.” Kazimierz told us. “I just want to say thank you for giving me the opportunity.”


I want to say thank you as well.” Natalia said. “I will make certain he does a good job.”


I'm sure you will. When we have finished our business here tonight please speak to Eliasz about your trip to Switzerland.” I told them. “Leslie if you don't mind I'd like you to give Eliasz some help with the itinerary. Ivan this is a separate venture so the funds for the trip are from my second investment and will not impact the new shop. Kazimierz you will learn a lot more if you see what the farmers are doing in person.”


There are one or two farms you really must visit and the train ride is spectacular.” Sanne said. “I will give Leslie the information.”


Thanks, Sanne.” I told her. “Now I know you and Bram have crunched the numbers with the farmers working a lot less hours so I'll ask you if you think this is a good investment? Wincenty do you think your farmers will have any trouble agreeing to the deal if they work fewer hours? Good. All we need to do is negotiate a fair split with the produce. Eliasz and Sanne will represent me in the negotiations in a moment.


Leslie, do you have any objections to getting married sooner than two months? I think it would be nice if Sanne and Bram went on a romantic vacation to Poland. Katowice is lovely at this time of year. There is also a little farming co-operative being formed that would benefit from her expertise. I'm certain we can get Sanne and Bram a flight to Switzerland and they can join up with Kazimierz and Natalie on their farm tour.


Sanne, your husband is right here and we're in the middle of a business meeting. Help me boys! Oh, I will flog you tonight. Just you wait until Sanne unhands me.”


Thank you for making our twentieth wedding anniversary something really special.” Bram said shaking my hand while Sanne clung to me and shed a few more tears.


I've wanted to get back to see some of those farms for fifteen years.” Sanne told me as she settled into Bram's arms. “Thank you, Rohan.”


There's one condition to you going.” Elaine said with a smile. “I get to babysit your kids. Rohan how long can you make that trip?”


Bram and Sanne have a better idea of the time they will need but I think at least ten days.” I said. “What is everybody grinning at?”


You really are a generous man.” Eliasz said. “Now do you understand why I have not bothered to ask about my pay Feliks? When he pays me I will have to give some of it back.”


No, Eliasz, you won't.” Leslie told him. “We know better than to have Rohan set salaries so Frederick will have worked it out. You might find it is a little more but not too much and we'd like you to treat your wife to something nice.”


The last time I told her I was treating her to something nice she thought I meant a new husband.” Eliasz said.


You want us to go out there to join up with Sanne and Bram don't you Rohan?” Leslie asked. “Ivan do you have any objections to us getting married sooner?”


I'm surprised you have given me this long.” Ivan said. “Rohan does things so fast I thought we'd be married the same day you proposed. Let's ask Sarah how much time she needs to get things ready and do it as soon as possible. We will also need to arrange visas for my family.”


I'll have Beatka help with the visas and let you know how long it will take to get things sorted out.” I said. “Now how much do we need to put down as a deposit on the land?”


What is that in dollars?” Dylan asked Eliasz. “Dad if you don't mind we'd like to make MAD Rohan's Vegetables an international company. We'd like to take on the vegetable side of our Polish adventure. Sanne says it isn't a conflict of interest for her to represent you and us. The three of us boys can come up with $21 000 and we thought if we were left alone with you for a few hours we'd be able to convince you to sign as a guarantor for the balance.”


I'll let Frederick know first thing Tuesday morning.” I said and before I could move the boys were in my lap kissing me. “See what you've started Sanne? Phew! Thank goodness I didn't pretend to need convincing.”


We'll call it thanking you instead.” Morgan said.


You boys will need working capital as well plus financing for the improvements and construction.” Eliasz told them.


I think we will need to have a call with Frederick present.” Dylan said. “We are busy next weekend so the following weekend is the earliest. Will that be soon enough?”


The deposit will secure you the land and I'm certain Frederick will arrange things for you boys.” I assured them. “We can trust Frederick and Eliasz to work out the best possible financial solution for you guys. My company will back you all the way so no need to worry.”


How old are you boys?” Natalie asked. “Twelve and already you have a business in America. Now you are buying property in Poland for a farm. The owners of the land will be very happy to know three boys are buying the land. Our families have been friends for many, many years and we know they didn't want to hurt the farmers but were under a lot of pressure. The grandma in particular will be very pleased.”


Eliasz please ask them if we can visit soon to thank them for selling us the land.” Adam said. “We also know some very good healers if they would like a different perspective.”


Thank you, boys.” Natalie said. “I think they will be happy to talk with anybody who can help. The treatments are costly and are not improving the condition. The treatment is just stopping it from getting worse.”


We'll see if we can set it up for the following weekend.” Adam told her. “We will see one of the healers next weekend. Can he contact Eliasz or Feliks on this computer if he has questions? You will have a week to get permission to share the information with him. Will that be enough time Natalie?”


Yes, we will have to visit them to let them know you are arranging to buy the land so we will have it on Wednesday.” Natalie assured the boys.


How does it feel to know you boss is half your age?” Ivan asked Kazimierz. “They have a good support group and are clever enough to let Sanne advise them so you won't have any trouble. All you have to do is give them lots of kisses.”


I'm ready to give you all lots of kisses.” Kazimierz told us.


Me too.” Natalie added. “I still find it difficult to believe all of this is happening. We have work and a trip to Switzerland.”


Even though I've spent lots of time with Rohan I still can't believe I am going to Switzerland and Poland in a few days.” Sanne said.


And you'll make some money working as a consultant.” Dylan added. “Yes we are paying you for your work. We'd pay you if you did it from here.”


That includes Bram.” Adam added. “We hope you'll be having fun Bram. That's no reason not to pay you. Of course you can kiss us after this call Bram.”


He'll have to wait until I'm done kissing you all.” Sanne said. “Kazimierz you will need an email address and a computer. Eliasz knows of a good IT man at the bank. They will get you set up. There are soil tests I will need you to do and other stuff you will need to check. You said the house needed some repairs but is it habitable? Warm with running water and plumbing? I don't want you and Natalie getting sick just before your trip. Then I will email a list of things I'd like you to check. We can talk during the week if you have any questions.”


Natalie you look concerned at the thought of going up to the land.” I said noticing she had dropped her head and chatted quietly with Judyta. “Is the house in worse shape than Kazimierz is saying.”


No, Rohan.” Judyta said. “We all went and had a look at the land yesterday and half the house is in good condition. There is plenty of room for them. Yes by your standards. They can even get internet installed so Sanne can chat with them. They will do a tour like you had me do of the apartment to reassure you. Kazimierz and Natalie have been unable to find work for a while so they have only a little in their savings. I offered to help them with a loan.”


You can use the money I have sent you for emergencies and I will send more.” Ivan told them.


Ivan the computer is a business expense and I already have some money there they can use. No need for you to have to pay fees to send money.” I told him. “Eliasz will give you a salary advance and you can buy some seeds and soil for a small kitchen garden. Good idea Sanne. Eliasz make certain they put in a small greenhouse as well.”


Once we have finished with the repairs to the house they will need to speak with Emily.” Dylan said. “The lady who helped furnished Judyta's apartment. I'll let them explain how it works and you can decide if you'd like to take us up on the offer.”


Right it looks like it is up to Sanne and Bram to finish negotiating how to share the vegetables.” I said getting up. “I'll go prepare some frosting or I'll get upset when it comes to the hours the farmers want to work.”


The boys chose to listen in on the conversation. They wanted to learn more about the business side. Bram and Sanne said they'd be happy to answer their questions afterward. The tithing factor surprised our Polish friends but the boys wouldn't budge and this time they included herbs and dry goods. Adam asked them to make certain the farmers took vegetables for their families and their animals. No sense in them working and then buying the vegetables they helped grow Adam said. Kazimierz warned the boys not to give away too much because they would have loans to repay. Dylan told him they'd crunched numbers with Sanne and weren't worried.


Finally it was all settled and Wincenty told us he was certain the farmers would agree. They were happy to know the farms would stay in their families. After we'd said goodbye I served tea and cake. Sophie expressed her surprise at how much her son had grown and achieved since meeting me. J agreed and reminded her it had only been a month. I told Sophie she had made it easy for me by raising such a great son.


I cooked bacon and caramelized onions for our lunch. Bram and J were cooking the sausages for our hot dogs at the fire pit. I went out to chat with them. Bram told me he'd be happy to tour the farms and see how we could help them become more efficient. Bram told me I was having an impact on lives in Poland as well as the boys here. Helps stop me from getting bored I told him calmly.


After lunch we started our game of croquet. Then it was time for us to go inside for our conference call. Throughout the day I'd been letting the mantras ring inside me. I didn't know what I was going to say. All I could do was trust the mantras. The boys told Daizan we'd booked a room and were going to visit the monastery next weekend. Daizan promised to keep it a surprise. Mu said he'd be glad to help the family in Poland. The tradition was to give to the monastery for his help. Sophie told the boys that her and Amanda had donated for the help I'd received. Daizan said it was a very generous donation.


Everybody has had time to view the recordings of my chats with Daizan, Lao and Leslie.” I began. “Daizan has only edited my instruction with the mantras. So I will go straight to the night of my meltdown. Please understand if I sound hesitant or reluctant to express something it is because things still have to settle within me. The mantras have made extreme changes within me. I am still getting used to the new me. In many ways the boys are ahead of me now in personal development.


Obviously what I experienced was not pleasant. I won't edit it but you boys need to know you will find some of it disturbing. Yes, Adam, it relates to our sexual relationship. Understand that for years I have been unable to find peace with having sex with young boys. There has always been the doubt that maybe society is right on this matter. Even if society is wrong could I take this chance with the lives of other people? How do I justify putting you boys at risk of deep psychological scarring?


These questions rose up within me. Images of you boys being hurt over and over kept appearing. The righteous multitudes condemned us and blanketed us with their energy and it is a lot of energy. Hatred, anger and loathing in amounts beyond belief pressed in on me. I had no shield. No answers to offer to give myself some peace of mind. Nothing to cling to while the storm of their hatred broke. Always there was the thought of what if they were right and I was causing you pain? More than anything else causing you boys any pain, no matter how slight, is something I find hard to bear. You know enough to realize I am not talking about the sexual play we indulge in. Yes, Dylan, I have never been completely at peace with this aspect either but I have understood it more. Been more accepting of it.


There came a time when I got torn in two and became two separate people. Two layers of reality superimposed upon the horrific visions within me. Another layer kept repeating the mantra even when I had given up. There was a fifth layer that held the sun and its light from my earlier encounter with my dad. I came very close to releasing you boys. This would have meant embracing the madman within me. I would have lived the rest of my life completely insane. The only force strong enough to keep me from feeling the pain of living without you boys and everybody else is insanity. Safe within this imaginary world I'd have waited to die.


Then Lao revived me enough to give me the eight mantra. I tried to teach it to you boys but you wouldn't say it out loud. I became desperate because if you wouldn't accept this gift I would take it as you boys rejecting me and our relationship. Now this seems silly but after hours of being emotionally battered I couldn't think clearly. There was only the emotions of the moment and a very deep fear of losing what I valued above all else. I put whatever force of will remained within me into getting you to say the mantra. Lao reminded me to smile. I tried to urge you to repeat it with a smile.


Daizan will be able to share with us why I made it through. The part of me constantly repeating the mantra despite all the chaos and hell breaking loose saved me. Everything suddenly got infused with a light that was joyful beyond belief. Buildings lacking in color suddenly blossomed like fields in springtime. People who had cursed us were suddenly friends. Never have I felt an urge so strong to share what I was feeling in that moment. I didn't want the people who had tormented us to leave without experiencing this joy. The madman I was about to become was so filled with joy he didn't mourn the loss of his madness.


I have no answers to the questions but I am at peace. A peace I do not understand. The waves of joy from that mantra washed the questions from my mind and their loss wasn't even noticed. The Rohan who had stood watch constantly repeating the mantra stepped into my world and brought with him unceasing waves of this joyous light. Strange as it seems when I think of that moment it seems as if he stepped forward into my world but I cannot think of a place where he could have stepped from. That would have been like stepping into creation from the outside. Wherever he came from he brought me the insight of the illusion we live in. Breaking the surface of the lake from my earlier meditations I surfaced into the sunlight. Everything was okay and everybody was a friend.


So I lost a pound or two and will endure a few scoldings. Whether or not the new Rohan will meet with approval I don't know. All I can tell you is the Rohan who is here now was the only one who could have survived and stayed sane. I have some questions about what happened. Between them Daizan and Lao will be able to answer them. There aren't enough words to express my thanks to everybody who helped me through this or prepared me for it. The people who got me into shape. Those who set me on this path. The ones who supported me through their service while I was on it. The people who will be here to help me recover from it. I know there isn't enough money in the world to buy you people suitable thank you gifts. All I can do is cook and bake and maybe spoil you with little gifts.


I'd like to mention how much in awe I am of Tracy's courage in staying true to what she believed was the right path for me and enduring her doubts for three days before we spoke.”


You'd better mention it here because you won't get a word in edgeways when I see you Monday night.” Tracy warned. “I don't care what excuses you come up with there is no excuse for not thinking. You must have stopped thinking or you'd never have lost all that weight. I've seen skeletons in biology class with more flesh on their bones than you have now. You've even taken away the chance for me to spank you. Rohan I cannot believe how badly you have treated yourself. Catherine worked so hard to get you into shape and now look at you? What will the guys at the gym say when they see you taking a shower? How do I explain it to them?


What about the boys? I cannot imagine how much pain this has caused them. They're too honorable to say anything. I really wish I had the words to describe what I'm feeling. Some little emotional distress and you drop flesh quicker than a drunk dropping a glass of water.”


For somebody without the right words you've done a great job of letting him know.” my housekeeper said taking her into her arms. “Excuse us for a moment guys. I'll hit the mute and close the video feed so we don't disturb you but we'll keep listening. I'd like to hear the answers from Daizan and Lao. Thank you, Leslie. I think Tracy would love a visit from you. We're at Rohan's apartment.”


The eigth mantra translated into English is illumination.” Daizan began. “The seventh ray is solid ground. On day seven you get drawn down within yourself as far as you are willing to go. This solid ground is found at different levels within each of us. When you are standing here you are usually deep within yours fears and doubts. Any unresolved inner conflicts are found here. The ghosts we have not laid to rest wander here. Rohan's solid ground was at a level deeper than anybody could have anticipated.”


That might be partly my fault.” Lao said. “What Daizan's spiritual path does with sound mine does with chi. All the sequences I have taught Rohan may have stabilized his inner world so much and settled him so deeply within himself that he started this series of mantras at a deeper level than normal. Usually he could expect to experience the encounter with his dad on day eight instead of so early in the process.”


So Rohan was actually experiencing a double helping of this process.” J said quietly.


Yes, J, well put.” Lao continued. “I know it was unpleasant for everybody but if Rohan could intuitively survive experiencing his spiritual death in the gym then I was confident he would survive these meditations. What I never accounted for was the unresolved issues surrounding the boys. Whenever I have sensed the energetic bond between them it has always felt healthy and good for all of them. This was the one area of his life I thought could serve as an example of the perfection he could reach in other areas. He must have buried these doubts very deeply not to cause a ripple on any level when he opened up to me in our sparring.”


Whenever you spar with Rohan you are really checking in on him?” Dylan asked.


Yes, Dylan, when his focus is completely on our sparring then he is as open as he will ever be energetically and it is then I can sense any disturbances.” Lao explained. “There is a lot of power in the chi practice I have taught Rohan. Catherine and Tracy have seen how powerful this is at the gym. The pace he works at and the weights he lifts put incredible pressure on the body. The slightest mental slip will cause a lot of harm to the body. That is correct Adam. The gym sessions are just like our sparring sessions except my focus is on the physical effects of the chi. One day if you practice long enough and wish to know I will teach you how to keep an eye on somebody over great distances.


Tracy it will be a month at the most before Rohan has gained back the weight he has lost. The workouts with Catherine will begin again towards the end of next week but they will be gentler. We need to keep him building muscle and chi alone might take too long. Rohan has to go to Poland with Leslie and Ivan. Mu, I would like you to speak to Eliasz and find out what herbs are available locally in Poland for us to give Rohan. Customs people don't like you bringing in bags of strange herbal mixes, Rohan. I think if we ask nicely Tracy will make sure she rewards the monastery for your trouble.”


Yes, I will and it will be in person next weekend.” Tracy said. “Daizan I know a monastery is for men alone but I'm not letting Rohan out of my sight again. I've survived the men's change room at the gym so I am certain I can survive a little time in the monastery. We'll be in the kitchen most of the time. Declare me an honorary nun if you must. There's two bishops here so figure it out because I will be there.”


You did say you wanted to shake the monks lives up a little.” Mu reminded Daizan. “Between Tracy and the boys I think you will have achieved this very nicely.”


Tracy can you set aside some time tomorrow afternoon or Monday for us to chat?” Lao said. “I'd consider it an honor to eat your cooking Monday night. Thank you for inviting me to dinner. I won't even ask you for a donation Daizan in return for getting Tracy into your monastery.”


Best I don't know the details. Be sure you share only the solution so I can say I was trusting an Abbot.” Daizan said. “The eighth mantra cast a light on the two people Rohan thought he could be. The madman or the one repeating the mantra. Rohan experienced the spiritual death because he didn't want to leave you boys. Once again it was this desire not to leave you that caused him to allow the light and joy in when it made no sense. The vision before this happened reflected life without you boys. The vision afterward reflected life with you boys. In time Rohan will answer these questions.”


You mean he still hasn't answered them even though he made the choice to continue his relationship with the boys?” Amanda asked.


That's correct.” Daizan told her. “The light merely revealed what Lao has described. How perfect the bond between Rohan and the boys is. All the joy and wonder and love that exists could be seen in this light. The boys repeated the mantra in the vision and it showed Rohan how they see their relationship. All of you have been around Rohan and the boys to see how happy they are in each others company. How much they have benefited from being with each other. The choices they have made because of this love have transformed them. All of them are finding healing.


When the boys revealed how they saw it Rohan experienced the merging of his feelings with theirs. There was a resonance that struck the core of Rohan. When he realized the incredible blessing this brought to his life the condemnation could find no place to settle. His world became filled with this loving energy. Rohan realized that when people condemn it is often because their lives are lacking a blessing. Being the man he is Rohan wanted to share this joy with them and help them feel fulfilled. That is what Rohan does. He shares.”


Even with people who try to hurt him or us.” Morgan said.


That's because he knew you were safe now.” Daizan said. “He may not have the answers but he has experienced your blessing. Something that literally pierced his heart. Think back to when you rose from the sea of universal chi, Rohan. Got it? Now compare that feeling with the energy you feel when you think of the boys saying the mantra?”


They are the same.” I said in amazement. “That's why my doubts disappeared. To turn away from this relationship would be to cut myself off from the source of everything. This is why the other option revealed itself to me as a madman. I'd have gone insane because I'd have cut myself off from spiritual sustenance.”


I think there is something else you realized.” Daizan prompted.


Yes but how do I express it.” I said. “Leslie will you help me express it better? Thank you. Then here is my attempt. When I took my dip into the ocean of universal chi it was to replenish my physical form. Doing this was not so much about the recharging the physical form but more about releasing the thought I was dying. This is such an intrinsic part of our lives I had to let go of all thoughts before I could be certain I'd let it go. The process of releasing the thoughts could be defined by my mind as a death. A part of me knew this and understood. That means there's a part of me that didn't need to renew itself.


This is the part of me that kept repeating the mantra and reminding me to smile. Smiling because it realized I was close to allowing myself to connect to this mysterious hidden part of me. I need my reality torn to show me I could be who I am at the deepest most fundamental level or choose to become a madman. The mantra showed me the love the boys have for me is at the same frequency of that eternal part of me. Provided I share this energy with the boys then the questions are inconsequential. Like leaves on the surface of the water. Lots of stuff gets thrown on the surface but it can only harm me or poison me if I allow it to sink into me.


Other people really do show up to help us remember our true power and freedom. Without these fears and their condemnation to motivate me I'd never have made this reconnection. I knew that and in return I had to thank them with the only gift I could give them. A little love. The love that I'd been given by the boys and all of you who have been so supportive, kind and caring. Opinions or justification are no longer necessary. Touch the core and live from it. Trust that if I do then things will work out. The only question that makes any sense to me now is 'what do I want to experience?' What we do in our day is meaningless if we don't feel good about it when we go to sleep.”


I don't think I need to express what you said any differently.” Leslie said. “We may need to think about it and it will most likely takes a while for us to take it in.”


Now all I have to do is figure out how this knowledge can help others.” I said. “Obviously avoiding the meltdown experience is a better path for most people.”


My mother told me you wouldn't embarrass me too much. You came very close though.” Lao said. “Patience. The nine days are over. Your use of the mantras is just beginning. Helping the boys will give you the motivation to worry this to death until you have an answer. Going to Poland will give your mind a rest. Don't make it too far ahead please Leslie.”


We will do it as soon as the visas are ready. I promise.” Leslie told him. “You do need some time to fatten him up a little. I'm glad he will get drunk with Genta before we leave.”


Genta and Tracy.” I said softly.


Me? How can I look after you if we are both drunk?” Tracy said. “Trust you after this week? Yes, Leslie, I trust Rohan more than ever. He knows my earlier tirade was just releasing all the stress and concern I've gone through. That's why his two underpaid, under-worked housekeepers are cooking him dinner on Monday. Tell me Rohan if I make the tipsy tart tomorrow and soak it in enough brandy will it keep until Monday night?”


Purchase a syringe and inject it with brandy.” I told Tracy. “You can keep it fresh and moist for months.”


I'll bring you over a couple of syringes.” Leslie told Tracy. “Tracy order us some pizza and I'll pick it up on the way over. Does your boss have enough wine in the apartment for the four of us? Good. We'll leave a couple of bottles at the front of the cabinet and Rohan will never know we raided his stock.”


Why are you laughing Rohan? You never heard a word about the upcoming theft of your wine.” Tracy asked. “Oh it's an understanding about the meeting of the monk and the laughing Buddha. I'll leave that for you religious people to enjoy. This conversation has had more than enough spirituality and universal secrets revealed for my liking. I'm going to order way too much pizza and drink too much wine.”


Careful, Tracy.” Dylan warned. “When you've had your chat with Lao on Monday you will be one of those religious people.”


Rohan please spank Dylan for saying such things.” Tracy said. “You're as bad as him saying you'll wait until after I've chatted to Lao. I hope you keep a few bottles of wine on hand, Boss. I don't want you embarrassing me any more than Lao does. We have guests coming over for pizza and it would be too embarrassing to bear if we ran out of wine. The co-op did say they'd deliver didn't they. Thanks Boss I'll check and give them a call right away.”


You might as well just give them a call.” Morgan said. “Tracy the wine won't go bad if you already have enough and the sooner you call the sooner it gets delivered.”


See how it's done Rohan?” Tracy asked me. “Morgan did a three-day cleanse without any meltdown or losing half his body weight and he's coming up with these great ideas. We'll chat on Monday. Please don't be back too late.”


We'll have him back at five.” Sophie told her. “Have fun tonight.”


Ivan is a lucky man.” Adam said. “Mom, he will be the only guy with three lovely ladies.”


What are we having for dinner?” Morgan asked. “No chance of pizza I suppose.”


Sorry, you'll have to settle for Tracy's southwestern brisket.” J said. “She wanted to surprise Rohan so Bram hid it in his fridge for us. Bram came up early this morning and got it started for us. The good thing about our cast iron ovens is you can bury them in the coals.”


Tracy why don't we thank you now and pretend we thanked you in a couple of hours?” I suggested. “Much like the wine theft that isn't going to take place. Do you really want us phoning after you have worked your way through a few bottles? There's a very nice red wine in the back left corner.”


Really?” Tracy said. “Are you hiding the good stuff from your employees?”


No, I'm the one hiding it.” my housekeeper said. “Some of the old Rohan is still working its way out. What he forgot to say is it is as rare as it is nice. Yes, Rohan, I'll let you give it to Leslie for her wedding night. Leslie, he only has one bottle and to share it with more than two people would be a shame. Whatever the price it is better it gets enjoyed that lingers forever in the back of the cupboard. Please trust me that it costs enough to do your wedding honor but isn't too expensive to stop you from enjoying it.”


Please, couch sister.” Tracy said. “Help keep me from this temptation.”


Thank you, Rohan, that is a very nice gesture.” Leslie said still a little doubtful. “The only other gift I want from you is some of that wonderful Polish bread baked with Beatka's mom. Plus any other cooking you don't mind doing for my wedding reception. Your housekeeper and Sarah can work things out.”


Thank you, from me as well. I think it is best we do not know how expensive and rare it is.” Ivan said. “We will enjoy it.”


I've got to go check on our surprise.” Bram said. “Come on J we have some things to talk about.”


Thank you all for agreeing to the conference call.” Leslie said. “We'll be talking over the next few days about things that came up. You boys know you can call me at any time to discuss anything don't you?”


Yes, Leslie. We promise to call you.” they chorused.


I may want to think some things over before we chat.” Adam said.


Rohan will be having a chat with Tracy on Monday before dinner so if you boys need to chat that would be a good time.” Leslie said. “I think it is important you speak with J or me to get clear on stuff before you approach Rohan. Always remember the Rohan you see sitting between you now was not the Rohan on night seven.”


You are welcome to ask us three wise men who don't feel very wise right now any questions.” Lao told them. “We learned something a little too late. You are right, Dylan. Rohan would have done it anyway. He couldn't turn down an opportunity to embarrass me as good as that one.”


Glad you are joining us for dinner on Monday, Lao.” Morgan told him. “Now I'm going to sneak out and see about our dinner for tonight. I've never seen my dinner dug up before.”


There was a general round of goodbyes and I followed Morgan out to the fire pit with my sons on either side of me. Bram allowed Morgan to dig out our dinner all on his own. Dylan and Adam got to dig out the ovens with the bread in them. Morgan enlisted Hans' help uncovering the second oven. Hans had been about to ask me to look after his plate of chocolate cake but wisely changed his mind and gave it Elaine.


Smart son you have, Sanne.” I said. “Of course I would have taken a bite, Sanne. That's good chocolate cake.”


And in return for the bite you took what would you have done?” Elaine asked with a smile.


Baked him another one or two.” I admitted.


Then I'm glad he gave it to Elaine.” Sanne said. “The boys doesn't need any more sugar in his diet.”


Let's go back to the cabin, Rohan, so you can make dessert and I can put the spinach salad together.” Elaine said. “Bram told them he added lots of vegetables on top of the meat but something crunchy and green will be a nice side.”


Because we didn't have much time I made crepes with a berry and apple filling. We all agreed we had to call Tracy and thank her again once we tasted the brisket. Elaine texted Leslie to let her know we were going to call. Tracy beamed in response to the praise and we all raised a glass to a good meal. While I was assembling the crepes I gave Morgan some quiet instructions and he slipped quietly outside. Only Marikie seemed to notice his absence which was what I had hoped for. The boys wasted no time in getting out the board game once we had cleared the table.


The boys told me tonight we would be playing Dominion with a couple of expansion packs so everybody could play. I played for a couple of hours then asked them to excuse me so I could do a little meditation. J agreed to fetch me in an hour so I could join the others in a nightcap. Elaine told me she'd tell him how to get my attention without hearing the mantra. I kissed the top of her head on my way out.


There's a heater right next to you.” J said when I waved him closer. “The night air is chilly up this high.”


I needed the crispness. The cabin was getting a little warm and stuffy.” I told J. “Yes, J, it was worth it. The biggest gift is no longer being lonely. Everything in my life was just a distraction to ease the loneliness. Now it is possible to live in the moment without experiencing the ache of loneliness. When somebody calls the crisis line you can tell them the loneliness is a gift pointing them to a deeper connection with their Self. All they have to do is sit quietly and ask it to show itself. You know I'd be happy to talk to anybody who needs it. Tracy will have my schedule and Sophie will know when I'm going to Poland.”


When we returned from seeing Sanne and her family home I stopped just inside the gate and asked my sons if they thought I was strong enough to flog them. They agreed when I told them I'd got myself an assistant. We said goodnight to Sophie and J. Elaine expressed her surprise when we followed her down to her cottage to say goodnight. I told her we'd love to come in for a round of hot chocolate.


Speaking for myself I am itching to get to the flogging.” Dylan told her. “Rohan is teasing us again. He knows we are aching for our flogging. I'm glad we are having hot chocolate with you though. Sex is wonderful but spending time with the people we love is more important. The flogging won't go away.”


I'm also glad we are having hot chocolate with you.” Adam said. “I'm curious about why he sent Sophie and J on ahead of us. Dad's being creative. That always makes for wonderful sex. I am glad Morgan will be his assistant. There's nobody else, Elaine. I would have insisted on waiting until next Friday if Morgan wasn't helping. Yes, Dad, even though you gave me a wonderful spanking this morning. Morgan will bring things to a stop if he feels you are pushing yourself too far.”


A good thing the garage and this cottage have straw bale walls.” Morgan said as we were leaving. “Elaine we are flogging the two brave brothers in the garage. I thought I'd let you know so you wouldn't come to investigate why the lights are on.”


Thank you, Morgan. I would have checked in.” Elaine told him. “Don't play for too long or I will come knocking on the door.”


We won't. Rohan might be disappointed to have things rushed a little but a shorter flogging is better than no flogging.” Morgan said. “Don't worry Rohan we'll do justice to their cute butts and have some great sex before we tuck you in for the night. Tomorrow morning all three of us are going to start our day by tucking into you.”


There aren't too many boys with a dad as willing to receive as ours is.” Dylan said standing on his toes to kiss my cheek. “I think Morgan will be my assistant for your spanking double team in the morning. Oh, I'm certain my brother will find a way to join in the fun.”


I think we should move on. Elaine doesn't need any more specifics.” Adam said.


You just want to get on with being flogged.” Dylan teased. “Yes, so do I. Come on Dad. I'm not getting any younger.”


Once we were all naked my sons found their feet being shackled to a spreader bar. We secured the bars to the thick wooden uprights of the shelving Bram had constructed against the back wall of the garage. The boys bent forward on the racks on the bikes and had their wrists secured to the racks. Morgan and I slowly pushed the bikes forward until our partner's legs were straight.


Morgan we will start with the light flogger on cock and balls.” I told him as I took my place next to Adam. “Thirty taps ought to get their attention.”


Once we'd gotten their attention I handed Morgan a length of silk ribbon to secure at the base of Dylan's cock. Then I handed him a vibrator to slide into Dylan's ass. I silently counted down from three and both my sons bucked when we turned them on to full vibrate.


You deserve a reward for your handiwork, Morgan.” I said. “Get over here and feed me your cock.”


Morgan was happy to walk to the front of the garage where I was kneeling. My fine sons would watch me sucking Morgan's cock while they writhed I their bonds. What a wonderful ass to fondle I thought as my mouth closed around Morgan's cock. I spent a few minutes presenting our partners with a side view of Morgan being blown, fondled and stroked. Then I shuffled around on my knees until his ass was pointing at them. Spreading his cheeks I teased his puckered hole with the tip of my finger. Morgan was groaning loudly. Soon his load would be mine but not soon enough. Two fingers would help speed things along. Taking my time I slid my fingers slowly inside his ass. Letting the boys enjoy the sight of my fingers moving in and out of Morgan. The slow finger-fucking worked quite nicely in getting Morgan off. I let go of his ass when he started pumping his cum down my throat so the two boys could watch the clenching and unclenching of his cheeks.


Thanks, Rohan. I needed that.” Morgan said calmly as I stood up.


So did I.” I told him and kissed him tenderly. “Now where were we?”


I believe we had just finished flogging two very nice sets of genitals. What did you have in mind for an encore?”


Balance is very important in life so I thought we'd find some area on their back to flog.”


Leaving them unbalanced wouldn't feel right. I've found the ass a good target area and it is directly in line with the genitals. ”


Then let us go see how the two of them look with nice cherry-red cheeks. First let me give you a kiss or two as a reward for your fine thinking.”


Dylan, if those two don't get around to flogging my ass in the next few seconds you're going to have to wait in line to spank dad tomorrow morning.” Adam groaned.


Fuck that! I'll be thrashing Morgan's cute ass.” Dylan told him. “Ouch! That's better.”


Fina-fucking-ly!” Adam groaned as I lashed his ass. “Morgan give the old coot a flogger. Feels like he's holding a feather in his hand. Yeow! Ow! Thanks Dad.”


Morgan looked so cute as he concentrated on bringing the flogger down across Dylan's ass. He was doing a great job for his first time. Allowing a little extra safety-margin as he worked the upper and lower part of Dylan's cheeks. Adam's so-called feathering was causing him to bounce within his bonds.


We want tears, Morgan.” I told him knowing he'd never taken a spanking this far before. This flogging would show me a lot about how Morgan had grown when it came to kinky sex.


Gritting his teeth Morgan brought the flogger down harder. I watched Dylan's body jerk satisfyingly as the sound of the blow filled the garage. Timing my strokes to land a split-second behind Morgan's we filled the garage with the sounds of an uninterrupted spanking. The boys' cries of pain and gasps of pleasure added to the eroticism of the experience. Despite just unloading Morgan was hard again. Looking up he saw me watching him and smiled. I smiled back and blew him a kiss. He was laughing when he brought the flogger down again.


Is that ass red enough for your liking, Morgan?” I asked still flogging Adam soundly. “Mine's about ready here. I'm more than ready.”


Six more lashes ought to make it perfect.” Morgan said and told Dylan to count them.


You can join the counting as well, Adam.” I said removing the vibrator. Morgan did the same with Dylan.


Our floggers had barely landed on the floor when we bottomed out in the sobbing boys. Standing between their legs we fucked their tight asses. Morgan waited for my command to untie Dylan. I never gave it. We fucked the boys. Filled their asses with our cum. Stepped out from behind them we kissed passionately. Then we knelt next to the boys and held a glass Mason jar around their cocks. Once again Morgan locked his gaze with mine and I silently counted down from three.


Aargh! Yes, oh gods yes. Thank you.” Adam whimpered as his cum filled my jar. Dylan was moaning incoherently next to him as he unloaded.


Bottoms up!” I said to Morgan who raised his jar towards me.


Ours already are.” Adam said.


I can't wait until Dad's is tomorrow.” Dylan said between gasps for air. “I've never been fucked without unloading before.”


And” I said calmly.


And it was fucking amazing. What torment.” Dylan said. “I don't know if I can walk back to the cottage. That orgasm drained more than my balls.”


I'm thinking of sleeping here tonight.” Adam said.


I hope you boys have finished.” Elaine said in brief warning before she started to open the door.


You might want to give us a minute to untie them.” Morgan said. “Won't be a moment.”


I tossed the three boys their boxers and quickly slipped mine on. Then I told Elaine it was safe to come in. She looked curiously at the restraints still tied to the racks. Then her eyes widened as she noticed Morgan releasing the spreader bar. I nodded when she glanced up at me as I placed the flogger in the bag. Dylan and Adam were sitting on the bike seats drinking water.


Did Rohan and Morgan do a good job despite Rohan's weakened state?” Elaine asked catching the washcloth I tossed her way.


Fair to meddling.” Adam said as she wiped away his tears. “Yes it's usually middling but my middling was being meddled with quite nicely.”


And thoroughly.” Dylan said. “I'll thank Morgan when I'm able to stand. The flogger isn't an easy toy to use. He did a great job.”


Yes he did. Don't worry I'll kiss him for you.” I told Dylan and leaned over to kiss Morgan.


How do you get so much energy to fill the room?” Elaine asked. “Feels like a blanket. The smell I understand but all this residual energy is way more than I've ever experienced.”


Screams, tears and denial.” Adam told her. “Dad is teaching Morgan how essential tears are as an ingredient in his recipe for success. The two of them made us wait on our orgasms.”


They didn't? That's inhumane.” Elaine said with a shudder as she tossed the washcloth back to me.


Maybe but it was incredibly hot. I felt so used when Morgan stepped away from me.” Dylan said with a blissful sigh. “Gods it was so hot being beaten and used while powerless to stop it. They could have left us like that and come back later to use us again.”


That would have been cruel but extremely hot.” Adam said. “Store that hint away for use later, Dad. Elaine, physically an orgasm is a brief jolt of pleasure but Rohan here can draw out the mental and emotional part of it for a very, very long time.”


You're right. I learned that when he spent all those hours making love to me.” Dylan said. “We will have to do some online research about the difference between an orgasm and a climax. Trust our dad to make debauchery educational.”


You boys are the best.” Elaine said hugging Dylan. “You've even got me curious to learn if there's a difference and what it is.”


Feeling like being a little naughty, Elaine?” Morgan asked with a grin. “No I have something else in mind although if you want to we could. I thought it would be fun to give Leslie a call with that question.”


You mean now? They'd have had a few glasses of one.” Elaine said. “Oh, I see. Ivan is the only man with the three of them now. Yes this would be the perfect time. Do you think Ivan will thank us later? I'll go give them a call. Right after you have all kissed me goodnight. Rohan you will take them straight back to the cabin?”


Yes, I will. Don't let Dylan know but I'm too tuckered out to loiter.” I promised as I placed the rest of our clothing in the bag. “No sense in getting dressed Morgan when we're headed for a shower.”


We waved at Elaine who was sitting on the porch with her phone to her ear. She raised her glass of wine to us in response. Judging by her smile she was having fun. My weakness didn't stop me from enjoying washing the boys. Dylan tried to rush it but relented when I said I needed this experience for healing old wounds. Paying homage to their beauty by cleaning them was soothing. When I had finished tenderly drying them and myself I sprinkled them with body talc.


The boys assured me they had all enjoyed the flogging. Morgan told me he wanted to chat with Dylan and Adam before he answered my question about the tears. I told him that was sensible but not to leave it too long. He promised they would chat while I meditated tomorrow. Sophie knocked on the door and told us if we didn't turn the lights off right away she'd send Marikie and Elaine in to wake us tomorrow morning. We said good night to her from a dark bedroom. Stop the giggling and get some sleep Sophie said as she headed back to her room.


I woke early and was meditating on the balcony when a sleepy Dylan approached me. I scooped him up on my lap. Dylan soon fell asleep again. I kept on meditating. Silently repeating the mantras within me. About an hour later the other two woke and came looking for us. Dylan stirred when they kissed me good morning.


The sooner you get Dylan fully awake the sooner we can spank you.” Morgan told me. I dutifully set about blowing the cobwebs out of Dylan. Minutes later they bent me over a pile of pillows on the bed and were soundly thrashing me. Adam muffled my cries with his cock purely because he didn't want Sophie and J disturbed by our play. Dylan told him he was sure she'd appreciate his sacrifice.


Both Dylan and Morgan held back on the spanking. I understood their concern and didn't press it. They made up for their gentleness by fucking me nice and hard. Adam slid underneath me and swallowed my load. Then we showered quickly and headed to the kitchen. The boys said they'd love something special and unusual for breakfast. Elaine told the boys they smelled very nice when she greeted them with a kiss. Dylan told her that half a bottle of talc would cause even a skunk to smell nice.


What's for breakfast, Rohan?” Elaine asked me as she helped herself to some coffee. “I'd love to learn how to make something a little different for breakfast. You know you can't cook the sausages and onions inside.”


You boys should set some coffee and creamer on a tray for the two lovebirds upstairs and go wake them.” I instructed. “Do it respectfully or I won't spank you for an ungodly amount of time.”

“Dylan do you know what an ungodly amount of time is?” Adam asked.


When it relates to going without a spanking I'd say it's three minutes.” Dylan said. “Did I get it right Dad?”


No, it's five minutes.” I told him with a smile as I kissed his cheek.


That's not an ungodly amount of time that's an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.” Adam declared picking up the tray and heading toward the stairs. Elaine laughed loudly. Then explained why she was laughing to Sanne who had just entered.


Sanne insisted on helping as well so I placed her in charge of boiling the eggs and tearing the spinach into smaller pieces. J gave Elaine a thank you kiss for waking him to cook the sausages and onions outside. Bram decided he would supervise. I told the boys this was a surprise so I was banishing them from the kitchen.


Go play croquette with Marikie and Hans.” I told them.


That's a great idea, Dad.” Dylan said with an expression that caused me to groan. “I love any game that involves spanking balls. As you know.”


And I thought they were going to spank your butt his morning.” Elaine said with a grin.


Don't you start as well.” I said. “That's exactly what they did.”


Wow you spanked your dad.” Hans said in awe.


Don't get any ideas Hans.” Sanne warned. “This was a different type of spanking. They can explain it to you outside. We need to get on with breakfast.”


Thanks for the coffee, Rohan.” Sophie said when she joined us. “The side of whiskey was very thoughtful. I'll go check on the sausage and onions for you when I've got myself a refill of coffee.”


Did you get an answer to your question last night?” I asked Elaine.


They said they needed to discuss it more and would get back to me with an answer.” Elaine said. She explained to Sanne and Sophie her question without mentioning how it had come up. I think they guessed anyway.


I'd like to hear the answer.” Sophie said. “Give Leslie a call while the pastry rests. They will be awake if they are going to church.”


More er discussion?” Elaine asked when a disheveled Leslie answered the Skype call in her dressing gown.


You lot are way too cheerful way too early.” Leslie said accepting a cup of coffee from Ivan. “Do your own research but I think the clearest difference between orgasm and climax is found in the term 'full-body orgasm'. Climax is more genital-centered. Where are the three miscreants? Elaine you don't think I didn't know who had raised the question or asked you to call last night did you? One of them is responsible.”


The three miscreants are outside spanking balls.” Elaine said with a grin. “That's how Dylan describes croquet.”


Rohan are you still to weak to take care of that?” Leslie asked me. “Good to hear he was up to it last night, Elaine. Kazimierz left a tentative travel itinerary with Feliks to share with us when Ivan called. They chatted this morning. I had Feliks email it to me and I've forwarded it to a friend at a travel agency. She will be making the travel plans for Sanne and Bram so I thought it best if she took care of all the travel plans.”


I don't mind but I'd like the reservations for Kazimierz and Natalie made with somebody in Katowice.” I told Leslie. “Tell your friend I'll pay her for her time and cover any comission she loses. I have plans on exporting sausage and would like the business to form a relationship with a local agent. The local economy could do with the support. Please ask your friend to find out if we should make some purchases now with our long-term plans in mind. Would an annual rail pass be cheaper? What about a family pass? I think it would be good if Tomek got to travel a bit as well. All the family must apply for passports.”


I better warn my sister you will have Tomek making more money than her before he is thirteen.” Ivan said. “The Polish people are very traditional. Your view of children entrepreneurs is very welcome, Rohan. You are doing a lot locally which I think is good. Maybe Tomek will inspire other children.”


Eliasz can guide them.” I said. “He needs something to keep him busy. The children will help keep him young.”


Good idea.” Leslie told me. “Seems to work with Rohan. Sanne I will let you know in a few days what the proposed travel plans are and we can tweak them to suit you. I am thinking of a short flight with a day or two to rest up and then a train to Switzerland. Let me know if you and Bram would like to visit any special place or somewhere you haven't been. Flying into western Europe would make the flight shorter. Sanne it is a special occasion. Never mind Rohan I intend to make it special for you.”


Thank you both.” Sanne said. “I will speak to Bram and text you. A shorter flight is always welcome.”


Time for me to get back to breakfast. Please give Tracy a hug from me.” I told them. “Elaine we need a Hollandaise sauce for those perfect boiled eggs Sanne made us. Yes we could save time by using a large baking dish and setting the pastry on top. Individual ones would be much fancier.”


We're very hungry.” Dylan said. “The sooner the better. Dad we're not just saying this because it's less work and we want you to rest. That's an added bonus.”


Spanking you helped us work up an appetite.” Morgan said. “You can get fancy on the sauce. Thank you, Rohan.”


The sooner you get done with preparing breakfast the sooner you can come spank balls with us.” Adam said. I gave in at this point.


We spent the rest of the morning sailing. I went overboard with the sandwiches for lunch making them really thick with meat, cheese and vegetables. Then I took the boys and Elaine out for a ride on the bikes. Elaine got to go through the drops. The boys insisted I show Elaine how to do the drops on just two wheels. Elaine said she was quite happy riding on four wheels. I meditated before dinner. Carcassone was the board game of choice that night.


Before we left on Monday the boys gave Elaine and Sanne their thank you gifts. Both of them were religious icons and did seem to anchor the energy very nicely. Tracy had called to check on our departure. She told Elaine the cleaning crew would be through tomorrow. I told Tracy to have them clean Elaine's cottage because she had been so busy with me. Tracy told Elaine she agreed with me that the least we could do was get her caught up on the housework. There will be four or six of them so it won't take long she told Elaine. Amanda was my driver for the return trip. Nobody was going to let me drive so I gave in.


Tracy stood and stared at me for a long time when she met us downstairs. Then she burst into tears so I drew her into my arms and held her close. The boys told her that had been their reaction as well. J told me he would carry my bag up because I'd be carrying Tracy. My housekeeper had a shot of brandy waiting for Tracy when we got upstairs. When she saw me she poured herself some. Only when she had finished her brandy did she greet me.


No, Rohan, you don't look as bad as everybody warned us.” my housekeeper said. “You look much worse. Be ready for a very regimented few weeks. Lao here will set up your schedule with Tracy. The rest of the gang will make sure you stick to it. Behave yourself or I'll even let Lao decide how much time you have for sex. Now go join Tracy for a brandy on the balcony. She needs some time with you.”


We chatted about what she'd been up to while I was gone. How her classes were progressing. I thanked her for treating the boys to a weekend away. Tracy said it had been great fun. She thanked me for helping the farmers in Poland. Her family had been farmers for a long time so she felt a strong connection to the ones in Poland. Our conversation was about everything except my retreat and the consequences. Somehow we reached an unspoken agreement that it would be best to focus on the path ahead. Tracy said she was looking forward to rebuilding me and that was it.


The boys had enlisted Lao as the fourth team member for some PlayStation gaming. Tracy told them they'd have to wait for dinner before finding out the details of her chat with Lao. I told Lao the boys' gifts had anchored the energy very nicely. Lao said there might be hope for me when I told him I'd used the grounding mantra and the one that sealed things to complete the feng shui process. Then he told me tomorrow I'd get to do it for my apartment.


Tracy had cooked a variety of pasta and sauces. There was an equal split between vegetable and meat sauces. She told me we were waiting for one more very special guest before we could eat. Fifteen minutes later Dr. Phyllis arrived and dragged me upstairs. Dr. Phyllis was a true professional who could do her examination while scolding you continuously for your unthinking, stupid, selfish behavior. She finished by telling me she was certain the before and after blood tests would be as ugly as the physical changes within me. When we got downstairs she didn't give my housekeeper chance to pour her a brandy but poured one for herself.


Let's feed our walking skeleton.” Dr. Phyllis said when she had a second brandy in hand. “You're lucky Catherine is out-of-town.”


She'll be stopping in for breakfast on her way to the gym.” Leslie told me.


The food and wine were wonderful. I could feel my body absorbing the energy and nutrients the moment I swallowed. Like a flower that lifts its drooping head the moment the first drops of rain land. Lao kept a close but discrete eye on me throughout the meal. Tracy had made me a Tipsy tart of my own. She told me if she'd known how much damage I'd done to myself she'd have made me two instead of one. Lao told her she could give me an extra smoothie instead.


We were all so busy enjoying the meal my housekeeper suggested waiting until after dinner before Tracy told us about her chat with Lao. I was given a smoothie to drink when we all settled on the couch. Tracy began by saying it was not uncommon for nuns and monks to get married in the tradition that Lao followed. Whereas other schools of spiritual thought had moved slowly into celibacy the tradition that Tracy was choosing actually worked on discovering more about the lives lived by laypeople. The monasteries were more like regular villages of the time except all who lived there were monks, nuns and their children. The inhabitants obviously devoted a larger part of their time to meditation and spiritual study than in other villages but they lived the same lifestyle. They shared their healing knowledge, chi skills and provided teachers for schools in nearby villages.


Yes, boys, I will be learning the esoteric side of the bedroom arts.” Tracy told them. “There is nothing honorary about my status as a nun. I will be one. Rohan you will have to stop making such a mess of the apartment because I have to study with Lao three times a week now. This will cut into my housework time. Good to have your support. When we go to visit Genta you will be taking your resident nun with you. Lao tells me there is a small ceremony which will take place Thursday morning. I'd like Leslie and Rohan as the witnesses.”


The three of us boys supervised by Rohan will cook you a special dinner.” Dylan declared.


I am paying for Tracy's religious clothing.” Leslie told us. “Lao's mom will be taking us to see the seamstress tomorrow. Three outfits will be ready by the weekend and one will be ready by Thursday.”


Religious clothing. Like a habit?” Adam asked.


I'm not dressing in a penguin suit.” Tracy declared vehemently.


Knowing my mother you will be the sexiest nun ever.” Lao said with a laugh. “She will keep to the traditional style but it was very close-fitting. The last thing a peasant needed was clothing that billowed out and got caught on trees and household furniture. Adam I think it will be most fitting if Tracy wore this clothing to the dinner on Thursday. Yes, I will bring my mom over to dinner. She will be flattered you invited her.”


Lao before you leave will you tell us what foods are traditionally served at such a dinner?” Dylan asked. “Thank you. Dr. Phyllis we'd like you to join us. Everybody will want to hear the results of the blood tests and what treatment you have decided on. We aren't blood related but this wonderful group of ours is a family. When somebody is ill everybody wants to help with their recovery. You accept all the mothering because you know there is a lot of love that goes with it.”


And it usually takes all of us keeping an eye on Rohan to see he sticks to the program.” Sophie said. “His sons are better behaved when it comes to following doctors orders. We all have a copy of Rohan's schedule and we all check in with each other behind his back to make certain he is following it. Even his housekeeper spies on him.”


Yes, Dr. Phyllis, I do.” my housekeeper assured her. “He knows some of the network. This is a game we play. Thank you, Lao, I'd love some pointers. Rohan will enjoy it more if it becomes more challenging.”


You live a very confusing life, Rohan.” Ivan told me. “I'm glad I'm just a sausage maker.”


Oh, we all know you are a lot more and we are looking forward to seeing how Leslie draws it out from you.” Morgan said. “Ivan you and your family are a treasure. Leslie and Rohan are going to have to use a very delicate touch to make sure they apply the perfect amount of polish. You have to leave some unpolished areas to highlight the ones you've polished. The yin in the yang or the yang in the yin. I keep getting those spiritual thingies mixed up. Lao will explain it better later if you want.”


Ivan, your life and the lives of your family back in Katowice have changed a lot within weeks.” Adam said. “Soon people in the village will be looking to them for guidance. Rohan won't make decisions for them. He will teach them techniques to use so they can make decisions just like he does with us. Leslie will do the same. Nobody will ask you to change or become somebody to suit their ideals. Us boys change because we want to experience what Rohan shows us. We look at how he sees the world and we decided it's so cool we want to live in a world like that. Before we realize it we are there living the new life.”


Look at the magic your sausages brought into our lives.” Dylan told him. “You are a magician who makes sausage. Speaking of sausage I'd like you join us when we speak to Lao and maybe we can come up with a new sausage flavor for Tracy's celebration.”


We'll call it 'the nun's sausage'” Adam declared. “That could conjure up all sorts of misconceptions in these modern times.”


Like father like son.” Amanda sighed. “Irreverent and incorrigible.”


They are very reverent when it comes to dessert.” Sophie said. “A true spiritual experience if you ask them.”


Thank you, Sophie.” Adam said. “We must keep things balanced. Yes, Dylan, even when it comes to a hard spanking and gentle lovemaking.”


Adam will take the spanking and leave you to balance it by taking the gentle lovemaking.” Morgan said with a smile as he hugged Adam. “I'll err on the rough side tonight. I promise.”


That will leave me facing the gentle.” Dylan said. “No, Dad, I don't mind but I'll pretend it is a sacrifice so I can get them to agree to some hard stuff in the morning. Morgan was a natural with the flogger. Let's go to sleep with a hairbrush close.”


We'll be here early to help balance the scales.” Adam promised. “Before we go though we must talk to Lao. I'm going to kiss him for making Tracy such a wonderful nun.”


I haven't done any work with her as a nun.” Lao said. “Oh, it is a sign of your faith in my ability that you will kiss me before the work has begun. Then I shall accept.”


The boys, Lao and Ivan headed off to the side to discuss the recipe for the nun's sausage. Reluctantly the boys revealed it would be a beef sausage. They had to share this much because they had asked me to come up with a gravy. I told them now I knew what sort of gravy they'd need we'd do a roast beef for dinner tomorrow and I could save some of the drippings for the gravy. Dylan went over to Ivan and shared my suggestion they try it as a chicken sausage as well. Ivan looked over to me and nodded.


No, Adam, I haven't been listening in but if you think of Tracy don't you think of somebody light and bright?” I asked. “Then surely a chicken sausage is a logical step from there. We''ll do a beef roast tomorrow and some chicken pieces on Wednesday so I can make both gravies.”


How do you get from light and bright to the heaviness of beef?” Morgan asked me.


Think of Tracy as a scholar and the subjects she'll be studying with Lao.” I said. “I see her in a more traditional European monastery with the thick dark woods and heavy stone walls. Gray skies and somber clothing. Perfect for beef.”


Rohan is right.” Lao said stepping up to join us. “I will start Tracy's training with a blend of chi and Western herbs, philosophy and religion. A more enlightened understanding though. Morgan by allowing my mother to dress her she will blend in better at Daizan's house. Thank you for a lovely evening Rohan but it's time I was going.”


We need to get going as well.” Morgan said hugging and kissing me.


This started a general exodus. I promised my housekeepers I wouldn't be up late. Dylan led the way to the bedroom. He told me he'd allow me to carry him when Catherine declared me strong enough. Instead he led me by the hand. Then he undressed me before removing his clothes. I lay down on the bed next to him and took him into my arms. We made lovely gently. I didn't have the strength to draw it out for hours. There was a great deal of tenderness. Soft kisses and touches followed by a soft entry and a friendly fuck. A fuck that acknowledged our needs and satisfied them. Dylan described our lovemaking as nice and I thought that summed it up perfectly. A nice fuck. Yes, that sums it up perfectly. Followed by a nice shower and a nice rest.


The blow that struck my ass the next morning was nice and firm. Dylan grinned and fed me his cock. Minutes later his cum flowed down my throat. Morgan set the hairbrush aside and fucked me. Adam and Dylan followed him. Dylan had to give me a second spanking because, in his sage opinion, my ass had cooled off considerably by the time he got his turn. Morgan was letting me suck on his cock so I was in no rush to go anywhere. I let Dylan amuse himself spanking and fucking me while I swallowed a second load of cum.


Fortunately I'd washed Morgan and Dylan before Tracy knocked on the door. I had Adam's cock and balls in my mouth but the other two slipped out and dragged her to the bedroom to help them dress. They told Tracy we'd be done by the time they got dressed but we weren't quite finished yet. Of course if she wanted to watch me sucking Adam then now was a great time to enter the bathroom. Morgan suggested she view it as part of her esoteric bedroom arts. Tracy told him she'd be viewing his butt turning red before she stepped into the bathroom. I smiled around my mouthful of genitals and increased the force of my sucking. The others were just leaving the bedroom when we stepped out of the bathroom.


Good timing, Adam.” Tracy told him. “Get dressed quickly. Breakfast is almost ready. Catherine will be here soon to see Rohan. I knew you boys would like to see the assessment so I set it up for seven-thirty. We'll drive you to school today. I need the car to go to the seamstress and we'll need it next weekend so I decided we'd just keep it for another week.”


Hello, Rohan, or the little that's left of you.” Catherine greeted me. “You can have more breakfast when we're done. This is Theresa. She's a college professor and she's here to measure your muscle density and body fat. I'm glad I didn't know it was this bad ahead of time or I'd never have brought her along. Don't just stand there Rohan. Strip!”


A good thing we can use the videos from the gym to get an idea of his muscle density.” Theresa said looking me over with a professional gaze. “My first impression is he's lost a bit of muscle density.”


No kidding.” Adam said. Theresa smiled at him and ruffled his hair.


Theresa calmly took her measurements. They had me weight myself. I had lost fifteen pounds. Theresa told the boys it sounded worse than it was because muscle weighed more than fat and I had gone into the week with a very low body fat percentage. She told them she'd be charting my progress back to health as a case study for her students and the boys were welcome to see my progress. They thanked her with a round of hugs and kisses. Catherine told me we'd start my rehab here at the apartment using resistance bands. Tracy had ordered me a treadmill. Patricia didn't mind me using it for a bit before we gave it to the orphanage Tracy explained with a smile. They'll deliver it tomorrow afternoon she said.


Thank you Catherine for saving me from having to explain this to the other guys.” Tracy told her. “You're right there isn't much point in him going to a gym when the resistance bands will work as well as a weight machine.”


Theresa and I will come up with a workout routine which Lao will modify.” Catherine told me. “Now instead of a spiritual death I'll have to worry about you having a regular one.”


The two ladies joined us for eggs, sausage and waffles. Abby insisted on coming around to see me. She'd gone away with Trevor for the long weekend and got back too late to join us last night. Abby hugged me very softly. I was getting used to this so I took the initiative and hugged her harder. Abby didn't say much during the breakfast. Tracy offered her and Leslie a ride to the office when she took the boys and their bikes to school. They accepted and soon it was just me and my housekeeper.


Let's do some shopping for dinner.” I told my housekeeper. “As a reward for agreeing you can buy me a mocha on the way to the co-op.”


All the staff at the co-op expressed concern. The store manager even offered to deliver me back to the apartment. My housekeeper thanked him but said the fresh air and sunshine was good for me. When we returned she made me a smoothie while I called Beatka.


Hello, Rohan.” Beatka said. “Eliasz tells me you have brought the wedding forward. My mom is really looking forward to baking with you. We know from Sanne's plans we will have at least two weeks notice so I am keeping that weekend and the following one free of personal commitments.


I called the local office where they will apply for their passports and stressed how important it was to get these passports issued on time. Ivan has mentioned you will need three weeks at least to recover from your religious retreat. The passports will be ready by then. Eliasz' wife is so excited at the thought of coming to America. Are you certain I cannot help with some of the airfare? Yes, I'd love to see my aunt. Thank you, for the gift.


There are some local farmers threatening to put your name on the ballot for mayor of Katowice. Your sons are not old enough. They will have to settle for a statue. Partly joking. Don't take too long to get over there. You don't have to worry about the land sale. Remember the farmer you spoke to? The uncle of your new overseer? He's related to the family you are buying the land from. You have his thanks and support. Kazimierz will have two people watching him closing to see he does a good job. I think you are right in saying he will be fine on his own.


I'll text Leslie the name and contact information of a reputable travel agency in Katowice. Thank you for supporting the local businesses. The boys mentioned a healer who might help my friends with the lingering illness. Mu. I have offered to speak to him on their behalf because of the time difference and language barriers. They have told the doctors to answer any questions I might have. Rohan in Poland a we still respect a lot of the old ways so the doctors will not mind adding herbs to their treatments. All they ask is that you consult with them and tell them what the herbs are doing. How can I reach Mu? Yes I have the number and will wait fifteen minutes before I call so you can let them know. Daizan may answer you say. He's the Abbot. I will be most respectful.”


Please don't be too respectful or he will think everybody should treat him that way.” I pleaded. “Treat him like an old, dear friend. Mu is from Iceland. I will have Tracy give him a kiss for you when she sees him next weekend. We will be talking again soon because of the land sale but now it is time for me to go take my medicine.”


Leslie, you wouldn't? I'm naked for these fittings.” I heard Tracy protesting outside the apartment moments before she entered. My housekeeper looked at me and smiled. “Don't you dare agree with Leslie, Rohan. Close-fitting Lao said when he should have said second skin. I don't believe the nuns ever dressed like that at any time in their history.”


Lao's mom has great taste in clothing.” Abby said. “Our morning appointment canceled so we went along for the fitting. I called Lawrence for help with the colors. He got on very well with Lao's mom. I have some pictures to send Lawrence. No you cannot see the outfit yet. Sketches and measurements are what I'm sending. Then Lawrence will chat with the seamstress in the morning. Lao will be there to act as interpreter. He said something about ensuring he isn't embarrassed.”


What about me being embarrassed?” Tracy said. “Leslie told me if I don't behave she'll make certain you are at the next fitting to hug me into agreeing.”


Tracy we had this discussion once on the way to church.” I said calmly. “Go along with it. Yes it will be uncomfortable at first but you'll get used to it. I feel the same way when you dress me up for anything. We'll share a drink or two at a bar and wallow in misery together if you want. Right now all I can offer you is a smoothie.”


Frederick told me he'd take care of buying the land and the paperwork to set up the co-op with the farmers. There was no doubt he was enjoying himself. My housekeeper won't allow me to come over to the office so bring whatever papers need signing over to the apartment I instructed. Frederick told me if he couldn't get them to me Friday morning he'd have the papers with me first thing Monday morning. The rest of the day was completely free for me.


Tracy told Abby and Leslie she had to go start her studies on healing with Lao this afternoon so she'd be able to give them a ride over for dinner. My housekeeper suggested since we missed a British meal last night perhaps I could do something British for lunch. Something quick and easy she insisted.


Vegetable curry pies.” I said immediately. “What do you mean you've never had them? That settles it. I have to make you a vegetable curry pie or two. We'll have to use regular pie pans until I can get individual tart pans.”


The dish was simplicity itself. You make a flaky pastry and line your pie pan. Then you fill it with a vegetable curry of your choice. Top it off with some more pastry and bake. The hardest part was waiting for the boys to get home. Finally it was time to go downstairs to greet them. My housekeeper told the boys I was waiting to have lunch with them. She'd given me an extra smoothie to tide me over. She explained how she'd suggested I make a British treat for lunch. Something quick and easy.


They're beautiful.” Adam said in awe as he looked at the three pies. “Now I understand why you waited. Thank you.”


This is what you call quick and easy?” Morgan asked.


They didn't take long to make at all.” my housekeeper told them. “One of the pies is for Leslie because she looks forward to our weekly British dinner.”


There was a six-pack of British ale for Leslie to take home with the pie. I let the three boys share two beers between them. They really enjoyed their lunch despite the filling being all vegetables. I was busy preparing dinner when Tracy arrived with Leslie and Abby. My housekeeper couldn't wait to present Leslie with her pie and six-pack. They boys were hovering to see the reaction and they weren't disappointed. Tracy said it was a very good decision to give Leslie her pie while Ivan was still at work. Abby warned Leslie not to snap me in two. Tracy nearly got snapped in two when she said if I made those Yorkshire thingies to go with the beef roast we would have a traditional British meal. I told them the Yorkshire puddings took hardly any effort at all.


Wednesday was as quiet and relaxing as Tuesday had been. Sanne called to say their travel plans had all been arranged. They had decided to spend two days in Lisbon. They'd arrive in the morning on their twentieth anniversary. Then they would take a train to meet Kazimierz and Natalie in Switzerland. Sanne said they'd arrive in the late afternoon and spend the next three days visiting the farms before heading to Poland. Looks like I'd be leaving Friday night and return ten days later. The following weekend would be the wedding. I had three weeks to get in shape Sanne told me.


On Thursday morning the boys told me I had to conserve my strength for my workout. Dylan told me that was why they had tested the treadmill for me last night. Blowing us involves work so that is out of the question this morning Adam told me. Morgan blew me while my sons fucked me. Then he fucked me. My sons jacked off into my mouth during our shower. Tracy helped me conserve energy by drying two of them. She gave them each a thank you kiss for insisting I save my energy. I got a kiss for listening.


Waffles!” I declared when Morgan asked what we were having for breakfast. “Lots of warm maple syrup. Coffee with whipped cream but no whiskey. Dylan I am not certain how my body will do at the workout so I'll wait on the whiskey. What family mantra applies here?”


Everything in moderation including excess.” Adam said promptly.


I'll have your whiskey.” Tracy said. “Lao has me studying the healing herbs of Poland. Do you know I am already doing a case study? Lao says we need to have some local herbs for Rohan when he is in Poland and since I am researching these herbs I might as well apply them to the case study. Very efficient is our Lao.”


None of us told her we suspected she was helping the family the boys were buying the land from. The boys told her they would consult with her on how these herbs could be used in some of my restaurants. The boys reminded me to speak to Ivan about what he'd used to make the nun's sausage. I told them I could flavor the gravy to match the sausage without tasting the sausage first. Tracy had cleverly arranged for my workout to take place after her ceremony.


The boys insisted on helping Tracy get me dressed for the ceremony before they left for school. They told me I could change when I got home for my workout but for the rest of the day I'd wear these clothes. Tracy lost her smile when the boys told her she couldn't change out of her nun outfit. I told Tracy it would be good for her to get used to it and the boys were correct in saying everybody would want to see her in the outfit. Leslie sided with us so that settled the matter. The boys thanked Leslie for her support.


My housekeeper handed me another smoothie to drink on the way to Lao's studio. She told us Abby would make a recording so she'd watch it later with the others. While we were out she'd clean the apartment and pick up the last of the groceries for dinner. I knew she'd be making a trip to a jeweler to collect Tracy's gift because we'd all contributed equally towards it. There would be flowers and a new set of table linens. My housekeeper had agreed to the new table linens when I said I'd like to give them as a gift to Tracy. My housekeeper said she couldn't think of a better set to start Tracy's collection. The boys were buying flowers for all the ladies present tonight.


Tracy, you look beautiful.” I said when she stepped out of the change room. “You are so lucky we are not alone or I'd be testing your knowledge of esoteric bedroom arts.”


Rohan!” Tracy said blushing. “I think the pants are a little too form-fitting around my butt.”


No reason for concern.” I assured her. “A magnifying glass couldn't make your butt look fat never mind some pants.”


Lawrence had worked in some extra breathing space for Tracy in the interest of decorum. The pants didn't cling like a second skin but they hung close to her curves. The sleeves of her double-breasted shirt puffed out a little at the top and tapered down to broad, tight cuffs at her wrists. Lawrence had designed the shirt with panels that clung and framed her wonderful breasts. There was nothing demure and nun-like about Tracy from the front. There was no mistaking the Western influence in her headgear. Reminiscent of a Catholic nun's headgear except hers wasn't as long or as broad. I liked the way it rested on her hair which was visible from the front but completely hidden from behind. The entire outfit was a blend of three different greens which offered enough contrast to create interest and stay away from the dull look of a monochrome outfit.


She was holding sandals in her hand which had long straps that would extend over her pants up to her calf. Lao told us in winter boots would replace sandals but there had not been time to have the right type of boots made. I told him I would be able to introduce him to somebody who would be able to help with the boots.


Lao had already told us the ceremony was a brief one. Tracy would sign a scroll where she agreed to honor three precepts. After we signed as witness Lao and Tracy would perform a chi sequence which symbolized her acceptance by him as a nun and her willingness to accept him as her Abbot. Lao brought out a simple altar and we seated ourselves on cushions in front of him.


I will share my wisdom freely with all who seek my counsel.” Tracy affirmed. “I will honor and respect the path chosen by each individual. I will aid all who seek healing knowing that perfect health is found in a healthy body, mind and spirit.”


Lao and Tracy performed their sequence in front of us. Abby had been given a special dispensation to record it because she promised we wouldn't share it with people outside of our group. They can watch it but no copies are to go outside our inner circle Lao insisted. Lao smiled and told us we were welcome to refer to her as sister Tracy if we wished. Leslie told Sister Tracy to speak to me about adjusting to the energy that went with the role. Rohan shifts so completely from one persona to another there is nobody better. Lao's mom came down with a tray of tea and desserts for us before we left. I told her not to dress up for tonight or she'd steal the limelight from Tracy. Lao's mom stated quite calmly that she couldn't hope to steal the limelight from a lady who had such wonderful breasts. How could I not notice them framed liked they are I asked her? You did a wonderful job on the outfit. I kissed her for making my friend look so beautiful and promised to cook her a magnificent meal.


My workout took place under the watchful gaze of Theresa and Catherine. This was not so much a workout as an assessment. Lao had given me orders not to use chi while working out. I could do healing work after but he needed to know how much physical strength I had. The numbers were shocking. I barely made it past twenty push-ups, sit-ups and reps with the resistance band. Abby thought it was miraculous I made it past ten. The jog went better than I thought considering how badly I felt I'd done in the other areas. Tracy offered me her arm on the way to the bathroom. I was glad to have her help with my shower.


Theresa kindly agreed to come back and join us for dinner when Tracy invited her. Tracy said she'd find out from Lao the medicinal properties of all the herbs that went into my smoothie. She agreed with Theresa it was a great opportunity to learn about herbs that could help people recover from serious illness and rebuild their bodies. Theresa was kind enough not to comment on how much I'd regressed in terms of physical ability. Instead she gently told me it would be fun to see how quickly I got back to my former levels. I had to agree what I'd learned on my retreat made it all worthwhile.


Sarah had sent Ivan to the apartment to deliver the sausage and told him not to return. She'd join us later. Ivan got some satisfaction when I told him to call and say we'd like her to come over at four and my housekeeper would be over to fetch her. We were fetching Lao and his mom at the same time. Ivan took me out on the balcony where he offered me a Polish cigarette. He'd stopped to get a pack on the way over because he thought I might need something for my nerves. Since he was next to a fine selection of vodka and unsure if the cigarettes would be enough to calm my nerves he had bought a bottle. Leslie slipped out and without saying a word set two glasses on the table. Then she kissed us both and headed back inside. Ivan blushed. I swatted her butt.


Before the boys got home I brought Tracy out to share our vodka. Ivan had invested in something a little more special than the usual. Tracy agreed her nerves could use some steadying. Leslie joined us and commented that I was being very quiet. No reason for concern I told her. I've been wracking my brain trying to think of something special for dinner tonight I told them. My housekeeper suggested a smoothie might help. The boys joined us with a sandwich in hand and suggested an inspirational trip upstairs might be in order. Leslie said dinner was a meal best served before sunrise.


Keep Tracy out here until she joins me to go fetch our guests.” my housekeeper said pushing a startled Tracy ahead of her. “Feed her some vodka. I know you boys are cooking but we'd like your input and help with some of the other stuff, please.”


Tracy there's two of us just itching to spank you in your ravishing new outfit if we see so much as the tip of your nose poke into the doorway.” Morgan warned. “Lawrence deserves a very special thank you for designing that top. Tracy you put something magnificent into that double-breasted jacket.”


Tracy was in such a state she even accepted a cigarette from us. Leslie joined us momentarily to check in on Tracy and thanked her for making two old guys very happy. Ivan blushed when Leslie told Tracy she could trust him not to act on the stimulation before he got home with her. Maybe we ought to make her spiritual name foreplay I suggested. Tracy reminded me I often included spankings in my foreplay and she'd be happy to live up to her new name. I hugged her and told her I was very tempted. Tracy tickled me instead.


The boys fetched Tracy for my housekeeper. Tracy protested the kisses saying she'd be back. We all ignored her and lined up to kiss her as she left. The boys told her to blame it on the outfit. Morgan said she'd agreed to share her wisdom freely and she had a lot of wisdom when it came to kisses. Tracy told him the meal better be exceptional or he was going to experience all of her tickling wisdom.


Hope you've come up with that solution you were looking for earlier.” Leslie said. “Morgan I think Rohan will save you. Before you begin cooking let's get this apartment set up. You boys and Abby can direct us. We'll get it done quickly if we all help and you'll lose less kitchen time.”


Amanda told Adam they did have a tall vase he could set at the door to my apartment. I had another two but we needed three. We lit lots of orange candles. Round ones of various sizes plus long tapers for the table. The table linens were stunning with their floral trim. They were a dark brown with splashes of orange to match the candles. The long-stemmed flowers were an amazing yellow. Add to this mix the wonderful green of Tracy and it would be a beautiful setting. Leslie shooed us into the kitchen and snuggled with Ivan on the balcony. When Sophie and J arrived I sent them out to the store for some gravy dishes. I want to give people the choice to enjoy some dishes without gravies and sauces. Sophie said that would make it more challenging for the boys because the dishes would need to stand on their own and they would need to flavor the gravy or sauce to work with the food.


Rohan will help us get it right.” Dylan said confidently. “Otherwise he's taking all our tickling from Tracy.”


Ivan had revealed he'd used a little cinnamon, dried red chillies, fennel, Szechuan peppercorns and a hint of star anise. In essence a five spice Chinese sausage. The challenge was not knowing how much of each spice he'd used. Was it more peppery than spicy? How strong were the star anise and fennel flavors? The boys listened attentively as I explained the process. I told them you use feel but if you hold the questions in mind you direct your mental probing along those lines. You interpret the energy through the questions. They boys were as curious as me to see how Ivan had blended the sausage. Dylan had shared the technique of holding the person in mind while blending the spices.


I set bottles of honey, rice wine, tamari sauce, plum sauce and chili paste on the counter. Then I set out an array of spices and dried chilies on the counter. The boys looked aghast at the amount of food I was taking out. Morgan was in charge of the meat. My sons worked on preparing the vegetables. They'll get done in batches I told the boys and kept warm in the slow cookers. Once you get started things will go surprisingly fast. Yes two hours will be enough time. Remember the dessert can bake while we are eating.


You will all need to step into the kitchen and greet the boys or us housekeepers will be in trouble.” we heard my housekeeper saying as she opened the door. “I'll take care of Tracy.”


What have you guys done? Where did you hide the apartment?” Tracy asked. “This is beautiful. How did he talk you into new table linens?”


He told me they were a gift for you to get your collection started and a memento of this special day.” my housekeeper said.


Meanwhile the boys were greeting Sarah, Lao and Lao's mom in the kitchen with a round of hugs and kisses.


You can call me Zumu.” Lao's mom was telling the boys. “That means grandmother in Chinese.”


Zumu it was silly of me to think you would not steal the limelight.” I told her as we embraced. “The light of your spirit is dazzling. Now I know where Lao got his from.”


My housekeeper gently drew Zumu out of the storm we knew as Tracy. I got an extra two kisses for the table linens. The boys got kissed and tickled for making the place look so pretty. Tracy warned us she wasn't finished with us but we needed to get on with the cooking. Lao naturally ended up joining Theresa and Catherine. Amanda and Sophie sat down with Zumu. Sarah joined them. Tracy flitted from one group to another she was so full of excitement. Periodically she would enter the kitchen to kiss and tickle us.


Just checking you aren't staying too sober on me Boss.” Tracy said. “I'll miss not having Tipsy but I'm sure you'll do something equally amazing. I'd love to check with Zumu if some brandy in the dessert would be okay with her.”


Tracy assured us Zumu had no objections. I told her to scoot while we prepared the surprise for her meal. My sons were transferring the sausages to slow cookers. They told Tracy the secret to transforming them was in the gravy. Roasted chicken pieces would surround the chicken sausages on the serving platter and strips of beef would surround the beef sausages on another platter. Leslie was getting herself some more wine and heard the boys trying to urge Tracy gently from the kitchen. She came over and took Tracy by the hand. Tracy blushed when Leslie said Ivan needed some more foreplay but agreed to help her couch sister out.


The meal steadily came together. I'd allowed the boys their own beer while we were cooking. Their concentration on the food and nervous tension to get it just right would keep them sober. They all gathered around when I began explaining the secret to the beef.


You can slice the meat into thinner strips and broil it to crisp the outside but you risk it getting dry.” I told them. “What we need is something that will give us a crisp coating and seal in the moisture. We want it rich, deep and strong in flavor so we'll use chili paste, tamari sauce, crushed dried chillies and almonds. There is also an Asian basil we will use to provide a bright note. This we'll add right at the end. Morgan you can make up the paste while we cut the roasts into slabs of meat.”


We laid out the meat on flat baking trays while Morgan made up the paste. I had the boys practice getting a sense of it before tasting the paste. The boys all felt it was a little too strong and spicy so more almonds got added to dilute the intensity. Now add the basil I instructed. The boys each mixed basil into the bowl of paste before them. The slathered it on the meat. We want it rustic and earthy so don't be neat I told them.


A second beer. Thanks Dad.” Adam said hugging me. “Keeping most of it for dinner will be easy since we're almost done.”


What's for dessert?” Dylan asked. “Dark chocolate sponge with brandy, mixed dried fruit and nuts sounds all right.”


What if I added whipped cream, pistachios and vanilla ice-cream?” I asked him.


I'd give you my body and the bodies of my two assistants if you did that.” Dylan told me.


And we'd pay for a weekend away.” Morgan added. “Agreed? Cheers! Oops my beer is almost done.”


Catch up with him boys.” I urged my sons. “I'll give you another when we sit down to eat.”


The boys told me they could manage the sponges if I took charge of adding the brandy. I told them we needed four if I was going to layer them. You boys are doing the sponges because I need to make some vanilla frosting. There might be a drop of two of brandy in the frosting. I quickly added some brandy to their batter as well. The meat came out and the sponges went in. I took the three boys out to the balcony with a soda in hand and told Ivan they were not to leave the balcony until we served dinner.


You boys are pooped and have done an amazing amount of work.” I told them. “There's plenty of people willing to help me plate the food and bring it to the table.”


I'll spend some time thanking the boys for all their hard work while you finish up, Dad.” Tracy said kissing my cheek.


There was no shortage of helpers. Leslie, Abby, my housekeeper and J joined me in getting things on to the folding table. The sauces and gravies got placed next to the different dishes. Abby went out to bring the boys in and thank them for doing so much cooking. Tracy was speechless when she saw the amount of food the boys had prepared.


Do you think we earned our extra beer?” Dylan asked.


How many have you had?” Tracy asked. “Two. Well I think three is enough for tonight but you boys will have another one tomorrow night with dinner. I'm buying that round.”


The boys told everybody what we'd prepared. They said Ivan had come up with the nun's sausage to honor Tracy's commitment. There was a regular and a spicy cheese sauce for the broccoli and cauliflower but they could be eaten without sauce. There were carrots cooked in sweet rice wine and fresh dill. There was a chicken gravy and a beef gravy. Roasted potatoes with a medley of fresh herbs. A choice of light and dark breads with butter and olive oil to go on them.


There is more food being kept warm in the kitchen so please don't be shy.” Leslie said.


Rohan got enthusiastic about the dessert so our apologies in advance.” Morgan warned them.


Rohan never lacks enthusiasm when it comes to dessert.” Lao said with a laugh. “Now let me be the first to thank you boys for all your hard work. Getting this ready in two hours is quicker than the chefs in my restaurant.”


We had a good head chef. Rohan is very efficient in the kitchen now.” Dylan told him. “I think knowing he gets to eat it when it's ready helps motivate him.”


Tracy asked Lao to bless the meal when we were all seated at the dining table. I managed to get a sense of his delicate touch with the chi and knew I had a long way to go. We all waited for Tracy to try her sausage first. She added some gravy to her second bite. Then she walked over and hugged Ivan. My housekeeper handed her a napkin to wipe her eyes when she took her seat. J asked Morgan a lot of questions about the beef because he said it would be perfect at the fire pit. The others paid close attention when Morgan described the paste we'd made for the meat. Bram might even share the good beer with me when I pass on this recipe J told us.


While Sophie was loading Tracy's plate with seconds Tracy came over to me and hugged me from behind. She told me this meal made becoming a nun worthwhile all on its own. Zumu told her to wait until she had worked with Lao a little longer before saying such things. Dylan told Zumu she had put up with Lao for a long while. He is family so I'm stuck with him Zumu said. I tried returning him but everybody wants me to show them a receipt Zumu added.


Before we served dessert Tracy passed her scroll around and asked us all to sign the back of it. When my housekeeper handed it back to her it was on top of a wooden box. Tracy opened the box hesitantly. Leslie told her we had all contributed equally. Lao had made certain they got the kanji correct. Zumu said it meant fortitude because she'd be learning from Lao and would need a lot of it. We laughed. Tracy cried while my housekeeper placed the necklace around her neck. The medallion was large enough to wear outside her clothing. Tracy did a round thanking everybody while I frosted the dessert. They boys insisted on helping me with the last part of the feast.


A couple more days of desserts like that and we'll need to dose him with a new set of mantras to slim him down again.” Dy. Phyllis said when the boys proudly carried the sponges to the table. “Let's keep him at the enthusiastic level when it comes to desserts. I'd hate to see what passionate would inspire.”


Because words failed her Tracy kissed me again. Then she kissed the boys who were grinning broadly at the sponges. Abby told them she had turned on the recorders so there was no need to take a picture. She agreed they were intimidating desserts but worth the risk. Zumu got out of her chair and gave the four of us a kiss for producing such a magnificent dessert. Then she rattled off a few sharp sentences in Chinese to Lao.


Mother says this is what we should serve at the restaurant for dessert and you are the best dessert chef.” Lao said with a smile. “I think her sweet tooth is almost as big as Rohan's.”


The boys placed a generous helping in her bowl. When she started to protest they told her she didn't want to end up as thin as Rohan. Adam added two scoops of ice-cream to her bowl, sprinkled some pistachios on top and kissed her cheek. Lao agreed it was very good but said once a month would be enough. Tracy paid us the highest possible compliment by saying it was as good as Tipsy. The boys blushed at such high praise. Dr. Phyllis said it was a good thing she didn't need any more blood from me in the next week or the results would make no sense.


Is now a good time to share the results of your tests?” Dylan asked. “Okay we can wait a few more minutes while we have another helping of dessert. I thought I'd ask before I forgot. One day I'll know enough about chi and won't need to indulge in too much sugar and three beers to release my stress and tension. Thankfully that day is not today because Rohan outdid himself with this dessert.”


Even when I know enough about chi Rohan's desserts will inspire temporary amnesia.” Adam predicted. “Doctor you ought to know you can burn off a lot of calories when your dad bounces you on his knee for a few minutes every day.”


You need to brush up on your biology. Those aren't knees they're hips.” Leslie told him.


He also needs to brush up on his English.” Amanda said. “It isn't on his knee but over his knees.”


That's what I get for being polite and trusting the doc to read between the lines.” Adam said.


We just want to avoid any misunderstandings and we'll happily take the blame for being rude on your behalf.” Leslie added. “The charge is another scoop of dessert. Thank you, Adam. Don't be shy with the whipped cream. Ivan will bounce me on his knee to help me burn off the calories, Abby.”


Noticing Zumu's head was dropping I suggested we adjourn to the living room with our desserts so we could hear how good I was doing. My housekeeper is really good with the riding crop if I keep the boys up too late on a school night I said. Lao looked at me and nodded. The boys noticed me glancing at Zumu and were happy to lead her to the couch. I told them to look after her while we cleared the tables. They took turns sitting in her lap, kissing her cheek and asking questions about Lao.


Rohan came through in surprisingly good shape physically.” Dr. Phyllis told everybody. “Catherine comparing the before and after blood tests if he was doing nothing but breathe he'd have done well. Between you and Lao you saved his life. Anybody a fraction less fit would have died. The shock would have caused the heart to fail. The dehydration was enormous. This is where the tea and smoothies helped keep him going. Everybody knows how their muscles ache after having a fever or the chills. Add to this complete muscle spasms from head to toe for over twelve hours and you'll begin to get some idea of why Rohan shed weight like water.


There are other arcane tests I did but you have the gist of it. I will work with Catherine, Theresa and Lao over the next three weeks to get Rohan back in shape. Before he leaves for Poland we will do another round of blood tests. Tracy is studying healing with Lao and will field any questions you have. She will know what his treatment is and his exercise schedule. We'll have everything set up to go on Monday.


Be gentle with him tonight, boys. After that I will leave it up to Rohan to decide what he is up for. Adam, I'll examine him every Friday and the Thursday before he leaves. I'll do another round of blood tests just before he leaves so we can integrate the local herbs in Katowice into his healing regimen.


I have no idea how he managed to stay out of hospital or why he is still standing but he is and for that we should all be grateful. The wonderful dinner we enjoyed would not have been possible without his guidance. No offense boys.”


No, it wouldn't have been possible.” Dylan said. “We'd never have come up with the idea of the paste for the meat nor the suggestion for the sausages. Dad when I'm eighteen I will feel confident enough to work alone in the kitchen. Right now I am glad you are there to guide me. Thank you, Dr. Phyllis.”


The boys insisted on walking Zumu down to the car. They made her promise to join them for lunch one weekend soon. Tracy said she had to try Tipsy soon. Lao assured them Zumu would be fine.


Rohan that was nicely done with Zumu.” Leslie complimented me. “You're getting the hang of socializing. Thank you, boys, for the wonderful meal and the flower. I'll see you on Monday. I can't miss British dinner night.”


Everybody else said their goodnight downstairs so I headed up with the boys. I told them I'd be theirs tonight and tomorrow morning but tomorrow night I would be in control. The boys were quite gentle and didn't spank me at all.
