I did rest well. I awoke feeling even better. The lips around my dick might have played a part. The sweet cock held just in front of my face was another key ingredient in making this a lovely morning.

“Mom sent me up with some breakfast crepes.” Adam said with a smile. “Since I was here and horny as fuck I thought I'd see if you knew of a remedy. Tim's giving you a hint.”

Taking the hint I took his cock in my mouth and his ass in my hands. He fed me while I fed Tim. My sweetheart slipped up between my legs and fucked me while Adam lay stretched out on top of me. He mentioned he might as well wait to shower with us if Tim didn't take too long. I admitted I'd expect a fifteen year old to get done quickly. Maybe he needs a little encouragement Adam suggested. There's a paddle around here somewhere I hinted. Tim decided his ass needed a breather so he picked up the pace. I helped him by clenching down on him. Arching my back languidly I enjoyed the feel of his cum flowing into me.

We showered tenderly and lovingly. Adam told us he'd brought enough crepes so he could join us if we didn't mind. Tim tickled him for even thinking he might be unwelcome. I was glad to hear Tim tell Adam the three boys were always welcome to interrupt us or join us. He insisted this included the times when we asked for some time alone because he knew if the boys felt the need to interrupt us during these times it would be for a very good reason. I let Adam know I also trusted their judgment. Adam helped me close the curtains and blinds while Tim set the table.

“Yes it's naughty.” Tim admitted when I saw a half-pint of ale for each of us on the table. “This will tide us over while the coffee brews. Spank me tomorrow if you must.”

“Tomorrow?” Adam asked raising his glass to ours. “The playroom?”

“No just your dad being a bastard.” Tim said as he explained our play last night. “The scoundrel waited until my heart was about to break from being so casually used and discarded before opening his heart to me. Fuck the rush when I felt his love almost caused me to cum again. All I could do was cry in relief.”

“Dad knows how deliver almost every feeling imaginable so we are really careful about what we ask for or giving him a free hand.” Adam said. “Did you enjoy the spanking? Sometimes the scoundrel knows us far better than we know ourselves so it gets intense.”

“My ass is still sore. I cried like a baby. Loved it! Don't let your dad know or he'll have me crying every day.” Tim said around a mouthful of crêpe. “Hopefully the window guys will be here early. We're hoping Elaine will give us our daily massage while they're installing the windows.”

“Looks like you're getting your massage early.” I said looking at the text message I'd just received. “Bram just let me know the guys are on the way. Why don't you text Elaine and see if we can get our massages soon, Tim? Let's go open the gate for them.”

Bram had come up with them to see they had everything they needed. This was literally a mom, pop and son crew. They told us it wouldn't take them long to install the windows because all the preparation was complete. All that remained was to put the stained glass windows in place and secure them. Bram had built wooden braces for the windows. These would keep the window in place while the sealant dried. I was glad to hear the windows would be covered with canvas on the outside for the twenty-four hours it would take for the glue cure.

“No, Cynthia, I am not a patient man and waiting until tomorrow will drive me crazy but I want to see them in all their glory when I first seem them.” I said. “Please text me when they are safely in and covered. I'd like to thank you with some tea and shortbread.”

Elaine was happy to postpone the massages for a couple of hours and told us the ladies would love to join us for tea. Bram took Adam down to the forge to work on the gates until we served tea. I went back inside to get started on my baking. Tim called Leslie to set up a phone session with me for tomorrow morning. Then he settled in the living room to browse the Order website and keep me company while I baked.

“Temple of Inner Light is very nice.” Tim said as he browsed our website. “I think your educators may want to start adding some articles for children. You have Tomek, Clifton and the boys to offer their insights on how what they are learning is helping them in life. My Love, anybody who knows you knows how much you want to help the kids. This website is great for adults but there is nothing for young adults or even younger kids. Speak to Lawrence and see if some of the kids at the orphanage would like to help. You need to get some girls to share their experiences as well. There are nuns in your Order.”

“Great ideas. Sounds like you'll be busy for the next few weeks getting this off the ground.” I said calmly sliding a pan into the oven.

“Me? I've got the cellphone network to keep me busy.” Tim protested.

“Now you'll be even busier.” I said. “You need some people interaction to balance all the cerebral cellphone stuff. Yes you have a lot on your plate but you do have a lot of free time. Consider the fun you'll have chatting with the kids and seeing their faces light up when you show them how to post their own blurbs on a website.”

“And we're still going to look into my other business venture as well aren't we?” Tim said. “How do I keep track of all these projects.”

“Speak to Brother Murray and the other educators.” I said calmly. “Figure out a way and when you do share it in an article for others. My Love, you will manage to juggle all these things without missing a beat. Let me know if you really start having difficulty with the workload. You know how I feel about people overworking so I wouldn't suggest this if I didn't believe you would find people happy to help you with a lot of it.

Teach some of the kids at the orphanage how to watch over your cellphone network and support it. The fun is in getting things built. Once it's up you'll be bored out of your skull. Hand it off to others who don't mind doing the daily upkeep. Let them earn some money for the orphanage and their future. I never said you had to do all the work on your own. Trust me I made that mistake and am getting a lot more done by handing things over the monks and nuns and you.”

“I noticed.” Tim said. “Still I am one lucky young man to have the Grand Master baking me fresh shortbread for my tea. Fucking him this morning wasn't too bad either. I'll settle for a few quick kisses now but you'll have to make it worth my while to take on these projects. How? Surprise me, Love.”

“Oh, I will. I promise.” I said bending forward to kiss his supine form.

The ladies helped Bram and Adam bring up the smaller gate for a test fitting before tea. Our window installers proved invaluable in helping Adam be more relaxed about the slight imperfections on the metalwork. They explained they went through a similar process when they started making stained glass. Now when they drove by places that have their earlier work installed they used it to remind themselves of how much better they are. There was no reason to feel bad about making a gate that looked good and worked perfectly they assured him.

Elaine helped me get the tea ready while the others chatted. She had even brought up an extra couple of tea pots. I laughed when Tim saw how much tea we were making and called to order some more. Elaine chuckled when he asked if they had something quicker than overnight. Soon Tim was chatting quite happily with the store owner about the teas they carried. I think he talked them into sending him some samples of other teas.

“Aren't you worried about the cost?” Elaine asked. “Using Rohan's card to pay is smart budgeting and does tend to take care of concerns about the cost of an order.”

“Rohan has placed a lot of stuff on my plate and taking care of it is thirsty work.” Tim said. “I don't suppose you'd be surprised to learn the old codger is overpaying me for setting up the cellphone network?”

“No, I would be more surprised to hear you weren't uncomfortable with your salary.” Elaine said with a smile. “We usually run this sort of thing through Frederick on this side of the pond. Although I am beginning to suspect some of Rohan's influence is rubbing off on him. Anytime we need anything for MAD Rohan's Vegetables or the cabin or some building project the funds are always available.”

“You'll most probably find Frederick has standing orders not to deny you guys anything.” Tim said. “I've only known him a short while on the physical level but even before we met I knew there would be a very deep connection. Why do you think I waited so long, my Love? Something clicked inside me when Christopher mentioned your name. That's why I turned down the offers of a spanking from Garth. I didn't expect you to feel the same or act this quickly. I'll show you how happy I am you did a little later Scoundrel. Right now there is fresh-baked shortbread for us to enjoy.”

We took tea outside. I promised to give the windows a full twenty-four hours before we unveiled them. Tracy had booked the cleaning for the late afternoon which would give us time to get the braces and scaffolding down. My contractor was coming out to collect the scaffolding and would bring a couple of guys with him. Elaine promised to send pictures of the windows to Cynthia and her husband. Lawrence had asked Amanda to let him know what time we'd be unveiling the windows so he could finish up his photo shoot of the building projects. I suggested we do it at eleven so everybody could stay for lunch.

“Won't that take you away from your time with Tim?” Elaine asked. “I could always do a lunch or Lawrence can bring something over from Stephen.”

“I had a lot of fun cooking with Tim on Friday and thought it would be nice to do it again.” I said. “What might have been better was to ask if he'd like to cook with me before assuming he would.”

“You know I'd love to cook with you.” Tim said. “Especially when there are no chaperones around. You look so sexy in only an apron.”

“Thank you, Love.” I said kissing him. “Elaine I'm thinking of doing pizzas so if you could bring up some serving trays that would be helpful.”

“We have just enough time before lunch for me to take care of your massages.” Elaine said us linking her arms through ours. “Tim you can manage a smoothie. You had a lot of treats this morning. Protest one more time and it will be me not Rohan who spanks you. I don't care if you're still tender from last night.”

“Adam how do you deal with her?” Tim asked. “Some pointers would be nice.”

The clever boy wisely pretended not to hear Tim. I let Elaine massage Tim first. Adam challenged me to a game of croquet. When we returned to the healing center Tim decided it was good to have Elaine on hand. She'd done such a good job with the massage he felt up for another spanking. Adam led him off to play croquet while Elaine gave me my massage. When Tm returned Elaine insisted we spend some time soaking in the tub.

“What about lunch?” Tim asked. “I'm starving. Well if you promise it won't take long to make us sandwiches I'll make Rohan wait before he gets his claws into me. Adam was right in saying you are an angel. Come on, Love, let's go find a tub big enough for two. Three if Adam wants to join us.”

“I have some lessons to catch up on.” Adam said. “Installing the gate put me a little behind. You and Dad have fun.”

“After I deliver the sandwiches.” Elaine reminded us. “Enjoy another smoothie if you need something to occupy your time.”

“No thanks my self-control isn't that bad.” Tim said. “Let's get a move on.”

We'd barely settled in the tub when Elaine and Adam arrived with trays of sandwiches and an ice bucket with wine. Amanda had already started on the sandwiches and had made extra for us to take back with us. Elaine told us we'd have to bring the dishes back in because she wasn't chancing another trip out here soon. I smiled. Tim laughed. This really was perfect we agreed as we settled down in the tub with a sandwich and a glass of wine in hand. I pulled Tim against me and let my arm rest over his shoulders.

“You chat will Leslie tomorrow at nine.” Tim said. “Will that leave us with enough time to prepare lunch before the others arrive at 11?”

“We will need an early start to the day but we can do it.” I said. “Pizzas are all about preparation. All we have to get done between ten and eleven is the dough, vegetables and meat. We'll assemble them and bake them after we've seen the chapel. I think we'll do some of the preparation this afternoon along with our dinner.”

“Good. What's for dinner?” Tim asked kissing me. “I love it when you talk food. I warn you though I might melt even more than I usually do when we share a tub.”

“We haven't shared a tub before.” I said with a smile. “How does steak with sautéed veggies and baked potato sound? I was thinking of shredding some cheese for our potato and making up some pesto for our veggies. We could shred some extra cheese and the pesto would go well on a pizza.”

“Well if we haven't shared a tub before then there's something else we haven't done before.” Tim said setting my glass aside and moving between me legs.

“And what pray tell is that?” I asked as I gazed down at his upturned face. A face way too cute to resist kissing.

“Scoundrel, I think it will be more fun if you tried to work it out.” Tim said returning my kiss.

“Let me know if I start heading in the wrong direction.” I said lifting him up to stand with me on the submerged ledge that was our seat.

'You're off to a good start.” Tim said as I began to run my hands over him.

I loved letting my hands roam over his body while I kissed his neck and every so often his cheeks, lips and ears. Feeling mischievous I decided it would be good to let my inner bastard out to play. A few more kisses while my finger teased his crack and probed his hole. I let my fingertip brush lightly at his sweet spot just long enough to get his hips twitching. Then I gently pushed him off the ledge to stand on the bottom of the tub.

“Bend over the edge of the tub, Beloved.” I said calmly stepping down behind him. “I'm so fucking horny and your ass is so fucking cute. I think I'll help myself to a good helping of ass.”

“Oh, you will, will you.” Tim said leaning forward. “I'm not certain a good boy like me should bend forward in a tub with a scoundrel like you. Who knows what might happen.”

“You'll get a sound fucking.” I said nonchalantly spreading his cheeks and guiding my cock into him.

Watching my cock disappear into his ass really turned me on so I entered him slowly. The whole concept of somebody allowing me to fuck them seemed surreal. All the dynamics of taking control of somebody. How easily my mind embrace the idea of making him mine. Right now though all it took to make this true was seven inches of swollen flesh inside his ass. A vessel that was mine to use as hard or as tenderly as I desires and to fill with my seed. Grinning wickedly I let my inner bastard set a pace that was neither one nor the other. The pace I used on the rare occasions I jerked off. A rhythm that was obviously very similar to the one Tim used. He knew what I was up to.

“Scoundrel, are you playing at being a bastard again?” Tim asked looking back over his shoulder.

“No, I'm not playing at it. I am being a bastard.” I admitted as I leaned forward to kiss him. “Right now you're my fuck toy. Keep any objections to yourself.”

“Object? Don't be fucking daft. I love it! Use me Scoundrel.” Tim said. “Use me.”

Use him I did. Calmly standing and thrusting I got myself off well ahead of him. When he reached down I slapped his hand.

“That's mine as well.” I said as I settled on the seat and took his cock in my mouth.

When I had finished enjoying my treat I climbed out of the tub and handed him a towel. There were no tender kisses or hugs. We dried and dressed without words. I picked up a tray and the wine bucket and left Tim to clean up the bathing area. I was sitting in the kitchen enjoying a beer when Tim joined us.

“You look like shit.” Amanda blurted out when she saw him. Adam laughed at his mom's language but quickly stopped when he saw how sad Tim looked.

“I feel a lot worse.” Tim said with tears forming in his eyes.

“No, not me. He needs you and Leslie.” I said when she looked at me with a concerned expression. “The deck where I meditated. Please. I can't help him now.”

“Dad, what's going on?” Adam asked when Amanda led Tim to the deck and held him in her arms.

“Healing.” I said. “I opened a wound similar to the one inside of you. Thank the gods it didn't take long to get it bleeding. I seem to have a knack for attracting wounded souls. You can help him later. Right now he needs a lady to care for him. All I know, Adam, is his mom turned him out of the house when he told her he was gay. He'd thought she would be more accepting than his dad. Tim's dad didn't object when his mom told him to leave the house and never return.

Christopher and Garth found him begging on the streets of London. They took him back to the bed and breakfast thinking they'd just give him a shower and a bed for the night. The next morning one of their cleaning staff called in sick so they asked Tim to cover the shift. One shift led to two which led to three and suddenly he got hired. They enrolled him in school. After a couple of months of teaching him some of their knowledge they realized he'd become like a son to them.

When we had sex in the bathroom I used him. No tenderness or kindness or even any rough play. The whole act was mechanical. Insert cock in ass. Thrust in and out. Ejaculate. Get dried and dressed. Leave him to clean up the rest. Gods I did such a fucking good job of tapping into my inner bastard I wonder if I really am one at heart.”

“Let's go upstairs.” Adam said taking my hand and pulling me off my bar stool. “Tim needs to heal and he won't do that if he sees you sitting here crying. I've got a beer for both of us. Come on, Dad. Please don't ruin it now.”

“So this is the pain you put yourself through helping others.” Adam said sitting on my lap. We were on the balcony off the master bedroom. “You really aren't much of a pervert you know. That area needs some brushing up.”

“That's one area that is perfectly fine.” I said wiping at my eyes. “Our well-meaning society considers fucking young boys abnormal and unacceptable. I'm just fortunate to have found a pocket in society where people are willing to look a little deeper.”

“I'll go down and check on Tim.” Adam said after several silent minutes spent looking out at the lake. “I'll remind Mom to call Leslie and I'll get you another beer.”

“Can't you do anything for me that isn't motivated by love for me?” Tim asked startling me from my reverie. “Beloved, you've been here for an hour. Sorry it took so long.”

“Are you planning on giving me one of those beers or do you need them both?” I said looking at him leaning against the door frame.

“You haven't answered my question.” Tim said softly while taking Adam's place on my lap and handing me a beer.

“That question doesn't need answering.” I said. “Did you speak to Leslie?”

“Yes, I did thanks to Adam. She wants to hear from you in the next few minutes.” Tim said with a smile. “Sorry, Love, I think you're in for a scolding.”

“I deserve it and it's worthwhile if you are feeling better.” I said. “Tim I'm so sorry I caused you so much pain.”

“Obviously it would have been a greater kindness just to let that anger and resentment fester inside me until I developed cancer or some other debilitating disease.” Tim said. “How did you get to looking so bad so quickly?”

“That's what happens when I play the doctor for the ones I love.” I said. “Besides it will wash off.”

“Let's take care of that now.” Tim said getting up off me. “Adam will keep Leslie at bay while we shower. We can chat later tonight. Emotional outbursts always get me ravenous for some reason and a very kind, loving bastard promised me steak and potatoes for dinner.”

“Leslie, I know you insisted on speaking to Dad right away but Tim has a mouthful of him and I doubt he's about to spit it out.” Adam said when he entered the bathroom.

I smiled at him over Tim's head. The sweet lad had insisted on thanking me and if he happened to assuage his hunger at the same time so much the better. My hands were guiding the pace of the sucking. Adam calmly continued with his running commentary and told Leslie it didn't look like I'd be very long. Leslie made him promise I'd call her back within fifteen minutes. I was pumping cum down Tim's throat when Adam stepped into the shower.

“Gods we're so naughty.” Adam said. “I think I deserve a thank you for taking that call.”

“You can take Tim's cock in your ass while I thank you.” I said kneeling in front of Adam and sucking on his lovely boner.

Adam leaned over me to brace himself against the wall. Tim didn't need a second invitation but slipped quickly into Adam. I called Leslie back five minutes past the deadline. Amanda grinned as I calmly explained to Leslie it was her fault for getting Adam aroused watching Tim sucking me. Naturally as a good, loving dad I couldn't leave my son in such discomfort. Tim helped eased the tension in Adam as well I added. Elaine's giving him a thank you kiss for his help as we speak I continued.

“Yes I know regular therapy has a place.” I said as we chatted on the way back to our house. “What I had to do was help Tim reach a space where he could ask for sessions with you. Leslie nobody goes to a therapist because they are feeling happy, whole and at peace with life. Pain and discomfort motivate us. Tim wouldn't have responded to words as well as he did to me prodding at the wound with my actions. I'm glad he asked to have a chat with you and we'll stay in town a few days so he can have a couple more sessions next week. My pain doesn't matter Leslie. I feel better now. Tim is fine and getting help so we can move on. Trust me when I say we will know when his healing is complete.”

“Rohan sometimes you are too perceptive for my own good.” Leslie said. “I really wish you wouldn't put yourself through this pain but I cannot argue with your logic. People who see me because they have asked for help do make progress quicker. I'm glad Tim gave you a nice thank you. Cook a nice dinner for the two of you tonight won't you?”

“Yes, I will.” I said. “Are you busy at eleven tomorrow? We're unveiling the stained glass windows and I just thought I'd see if Lawrence could do a Skype video call of the occasion for everybody back in town.”

“I'll let the others know at dinner tonight.” Leslie said. “One of you might want to give your housekeepers a call. They haven't said anything but they'd like to know you are having a good time.”

“We'll call them while grilling the steaks.” I promised. “Tim please remind me. Any news from Poland? Glad everybody is doing well. You can fill me in on the details when we get back. Monday morning sounds like a great time to call them. Check with Tracy. Who knows what conspiracy she's gotten into with Morgan and Dylan without me there to keep an eye on all of you. Thank you for helping Tim. Please pass on our love to Ivan. Let him know I'm sure Bram would love a recipe or two for the smoker. Have a wonderful evening Leslie.”

Tim almost purred with delight when I told him how proud I was of him for opening his old wound. When I let him know the steaks needed to rest for thirty-minutes he suggested I get out my bow. I missed the target with both arrows but they were both about an inch from the block of wood. When Tim called Lao I was the one almost purring when Lao told us he had miraculously escaped embarrassment. He made certain to let us know it was only because of the increased distance. I promised to give Tim a kiss or two for the suggestion.

“Hello, Tracy, is this a good time for you to chat?” Tim asked when we carried all the food out to the grill. “Rohan has decided we're cooking everything on the grill so I'm on the deck with the scoundrel. Why don't you give us a call when his housekeeper gets back from the co-op? I'll go get us some beer in the meantime.”

Tim admitted he was still a bit shaken but he was glad I'd pushed his buttons. Amanda had been great and reaffirmed there are some loving mothers out there. I told him we were both going through similar stuff. He was dealing with the stuff surrounding his mom and dad while I was getting a new perspective on marriage.

“No regrets at all Tim.” I said. “This doesn't mean it is comfortable. I'll chat with Leslie about it tomorrow. Sounds like Tracy is returning your call.”

“Hi guys.” Dylan said when Tim answered. “How are things in the love nest?”

“Things are just fine.” I said. “We're testing out the new grill. How's the homeschooling working out?”

“Mom has everything so regimented it's like regular school only somewhere different.” Dylan said. “She's included lots of time for us to do things together as well. I hope you don't mind being on the schedule Dad. We're having sex between two and four on Monday.”

“I don't mind.” I said laughing. “Judging by his smile Tim doesn't mind either. I think I'll be able to talk him into joining us. Right now he's got his nose buried in a beer mug. The lad's had a rough day but he came through great.”

“A little healing of an old wound.” Tim said. “A Rohan specialty it seems. Leslie will be calling me early Friday morning. Speaking of a Rohan specialty he hit the target from thirty yards further away. Both his arrows landed in the target area so it is hardly luck.”

“Way to go Rohan!” Morgan said. “Most of the gang is here. What's for dinner out there? That sounds delicious. We're having chicken in wine courtesy of Leslie. I think she's competing with you to see who feeds us the most greens. We'd love to see the gate Adam made. Why don't we switch to Skype?”

“There you all are.” Tim said when he returned with his laptop. “No it's safe. Rohan still has his clothes on. Can you step away for a few minutes, my Love? Hang on guys he needs a minute. We're going to test the new playroom tomorrow Juliet. We want to give it a good, unhurried test and things have cropped up all week. They delivered the smoker. Then there was the stained glass installation. I'm glad most of you will be joining us for the unveiling. Sure the guys in Poland are welcome to join in.”

Everybody expressed pleasant surprise at the idea of Adam working in a forge to produce stuff like the gate. I let them know Bram thought he was coming along quite nicely with the carpentry as well. Tim let us all know the other gates were just waiting for a last coat of stain on the one side and would be installed Friday. Catherine was glad to hear we were using the training DVDs. She promised to help Tim get in better shape so he could keep up with me.

“Before you go Boss there's something I need to tell you.” Tracy said. “Tim will you go behind the bar and look in the far left-hand corner on the bottom shelf. Yes behind those glasses. You'll find some of Ivan's Polish cure-all. We'll have a toast together. Oh, there's a bottle of red wine there as well. What a surprise. I guess the two of you had better drink it. Boss you gave one to Leslie and Ivan for their honeymoon so I guess the universe is simply returning it to you. The reaping what you sow spiritual law thingamabob. No idea who would do a thing like that for you. When you bless that new chapel of yours you can ask the gods who did it.”

“I think Rohan has the right idea in making you a sacrifice for whoever they are.” Tim said while opening our Polish cure-all. “I'll drink to being happily married. Cheers! Holy crap that's strong. Tracy do you know what will happen to me if I get inebriated around Rohan? You do. Then you'll understand why I'm happy to join you in another round. Come on Scoundrel. The sooner I get tipsy the sooner you get to tip me over and make a tart out of me. No need to worry Leslie. Tonight we'll see if Rohan can attain new heights in my puddle-licious experience.”

“Thank you for the wine. We'll be sure to enjoy it tonight.” I said. “I've missed you guys as well. On Sunday I'm retaking control of my kitchen so you better enjoy Leslie's cooking while you can. Dylan whatever is there is what I'm cooking so chat with my lovely housekeepers. Brunch and dinner with a snack in between is all the input I'm giving.”

Because it was such a lovely evening I helped Tim carry the table outside for our dinner. We were both surprised when Tim got a text message from Clifton just as we were sitting down to eat.

“The sweet lad apologizes for disturbing us but he was wondering if he could visit the chapel after you've blessed it on Friday.” Tim said. “That's so sweet. What? Why would I text him back 'no'? Scoundrel for being so sweet I ought to slip under the table and blow you. That text I will send.”

Clifton answered Tim's text by checking to see if he was joking. I told Tim to call the lad so he could reassure him I was being serious when I told him he would have to help me with the blessing by doing some chanting. Tim spent a few minutes assuring Clifton he didn't need to practice. When he reminded him how quickly he'd picked up the changes to the other mantra Clifton agreed to wait until Friday to learn the new chant. Tammy sent us both a thank you text a few minutes later.

“Beloved, you know there's nothing that little boy wouldn't do or give you if you asked don't you?” Tim asked while I poured us some wine.

“Yes, I know and it is the reason I am taking things really slowly with him.” I said setting the bottle down. “He's been through a lot. I don't want the help I have given him to impact his decision. Children are wiser than most people think when it comes to understanding these things if you explain it to them.”

“Please don't wait too much longer, Beloved.” Tim said raising his glass. “I cannot wait to see his ass stuffed full with your cock. Gods the thought alone is driving me crazy. So good of you to offer to blow me while you fuck him. I think I'll take you up on that offer. Maybe even give you a trial run or two.”

“That's very kind of you, Love. You even saved me the trouble of offering to blow you while I fuck Clifton.” I said with a smile “For all the joy and love you bring to my life. Thank you Tim.”

“Thank you, my Love.” Tim said touching his glass to mine. “That's some delicious wine. I may end up tipping over all on my own. All we need to know is what the wine cost and we'll be able to put a dollar amount on our fuck tonight.”

“I already know exactly how much each fuck with you is worth.” I said leaning over to kiss him.

“Really, Scoundrel?” Tim asked with a smile. “That Frederick is the world's most brilliant accountant or did you figure it out on your own?”

“This time it was all me.” I said kissing him lightly and often.

“Pray tell, Scoundrel?” Tim said. “What is the dollar amount of sex with little old me?”

“Priceless.” I said keeping my lips pressed against his for a long while.

“You know if so much as one tear lands in my wine I'll have to flog you for ruining a good drink.” Tim said brushing at his eyes.

“We can't have that.” I said handing him a cloth napkin. “I could always empty your glass while you regather yourself.”

“Keep your hands to my ass.” Tim said swatting at my hand. “Just because I gave you my virtue doesn't mean I'll give up my wine. This boy's got principles.”

“Tomorrow I'll be your principal and wield the cane.” I promised. “Now let's enjoy our dinner before it gets cold out here. Stay seated, Love. I'll dish up.”

Some clever soul had included cookware I could use on the grill so everything was resting nicely on the grill. I popped inside to grab the salad and set it on the table with our pesto. Tim grinned when I said he had an impressive amount of salad on his plate. The boys deserve the credit he told me because they always eat so much green stuff he adopted the habit. I reminded him how good all the extra oxygen in greens was for improving sex. Tim calmly added an extra piece of lettuce to his plate when he heard this and told me it was for later tonight. I laughed and took his plate from him.

“That's quite a plate, my Love.” Tim complimented me. “Thank you.”

“You are welcome.” I said and quickly finished dishing up my dinner.

When I went inside to put the cobbler in the oven Tim refilled our glasses. Once again we marveled at how seamlessly our garden fitted in with the rest of the land. I couldn't see any clear edge to the garden. Tim told me he loved my expression of amazement when I looked at the garden. He agreed Sanne had an incredible genius when it came to garden design. When I shared our garden challenge in Poland all he wanted to know was how drunk I had been to take on Sanne in a garden challenge. The more of her skill I got to see the more I wished I could say I was drunk at the time.

“Catherine says you like ridiculously challenging things and I doubt you'll find a greater challenge than gardening against Sanne.” Tim said. “I'm looking forward to seeing how you approach this one even with the aid of the monks in Poland. Beloved betting against you in anything is foolish but at this moment I'd have to place my money on Sanne.”

“When are we headed out that way again?” I asked Tim. “Three weeks. So soon? I'll need to check to see if my monks have purchased a comparable piece of property. We may need to make a few side trips to some local farms. Sweetheart there's no restriction on how we gain knowledge or gardening techniques only on the equipment used, budget and the garden must produce organic vegetables. Remind me to check with Sanne about it tomorrow morning.”

“While I play with my cellphone network you can play head gardener.” Tim said. “Damn the boys were right when they told me nobody has a way with meat like you.”

“Next time I'll remember to put on an extra steak for you.” I promised.

We sat outside enjoying the night setting in. Tim insisted we put on a sweater if we were going to stay outside. He also insisted on some medicinal beer. Tim let me know the medicinal benefits were greatly enhanced if we drank it with him sitting on my lap. Who was I to argue with a lad raised by two Hospitallers? A better use of my time was to wrap my arms around him and hold him close. When it became too dark to see beyond the edge of the deck we moved everything back inside. I washed the dishes while Tim warmed our cobbler and got the ice-cream out of the freezer.

Tim decided we would enjoy our dessert snuggling under a blanket and watching an animated movie or two. Two movies will mean two rounds of dessert he pointed out. I asked if that was two rounds of dessert per movie. Tim suggested we save a little for Hans to enjoy as an early morning treat. He'd heard so much about my daring raid he thought it would be fun to see if we could get away with another.

“This time it will be an even bigger raid.” I said tossing him an apron. “Get over here, my Love, we have lots of cobbler to prepare. Please call Tracy and ask her how many thermos flasks we have at the cabin.”

“Rohan is planning cobbler and hot chocolate for everybody at sunrise.” Tim said. “Tracy, that's a brilliant idea. Do we have seven travel mugs? I guess with Rohan you do buy them by the dozen. Thank you, Tracy, I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun tomorrow morning. Oh, I don't mind the old geezer getting me into trouble. Sanne may even forget herself and spank me. A guy can hope.”

Tim let me know there were three large thermos flasks here and we could decant the hot chocolate into travel mugs at the cabin. We ate our first round of dessert while preparing another two cobblers. I discovered some good quality chocolate we could shred over the desserts in the morning.

“How would you feel about helping Adam work off the extra calories tomorrow morning?” I asked Tim.

“I'd also have some extra calories to burn.” Tim pointed out. “We'll literally and metaphorically be scratching each other's backs. I like the way you think, Scoundrel.”

Getting the cobblers prepared didn't take long at all. I dished us up another bowl of dessert while Tim headed off to choose the first movie. He chose a couple I hadn't gotten around to watching. I was so excited about our raid I could barely sit still. Tim teased me at my eagerness to get out there and reminded me we would need to wait until just before everybody woke or else the hot chocolate would get cold. I sighed and agreed with him. Tim distracted me with another round of dessert. When the second movie finished we played some darts while we had a pint of stout.

My mate was definitely feeling the effects of the alcohol so I didn't waste anytime getting him into bed. Tim insisted I fuck him before we fell asleep even if he was half asleep already. I snuggled up behind him as he lay on his side and slipped into him. Tim stretched and moved languidly when he finally became aware of the pleasure he was feeling. Right before the onset of his orgasm he straightened and turned his face towards me for a kiss.

“Cum in my hand, Love.” I whispered reaching over him. “Relax into it. Let it be. All in good time. Yes, I'm having a good time. Oh, I promise you won't be sleepy tomorrow when I fuck your ass.”

“Hmm, sounds heavenly.” Tim said. “You're so good to me. Please don't make me cum in your hand. Help yourself before you finish. Please.”

“I have a better idea.” I said slipping out of him and rolling him on his back. “Go ahead, Love. I'm right there with you.”

My cock tapped insistently against his lips for a few seconds while I kissed his cock. Tim teased me by sticking just his tongue out to lick the head of my cock. I spanked his balls twice which got the message across. True to my word it didn't take me long to pump my load down his gullet. I relished accepting his load as my orgasm shook me.

“No sleeping, my Love.” I said rolling off him. “We have a shower to take.”

“You can take mine for me.” Tim said snuggling up to a pillow.

Gently relieving him of his pillow I lifted him from the bed. Tim wrapped his arms around my neck and closed his eyes.

“Seven shades of shit! Holy Mother! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!” Tim screamed as the cold water struck us. “Fucking hell, Scoundrel. No you didn't forget to turn on the hot water. You did this deliberately. Of course I don't give a shit that you had to endure it with me. Nobody is hot enough to make that torture worthwhile. There better be a brandy waiting for us after this nonsense. Ye gods.”

I was still chuckling when we got out of the shower. Tim told me repeatedly he was not amused and would be delving deeply into our playroom toy chest for a suitable revenge. The cold water had revived him enough to allow me to go get us each a brandy and return to the bed. I did some energy work on him to help with the hangover. Tim asked me to stop while he still had a little buzz going. We kissed good night after I had been forgiven by Tim for my shenanigans.

“Taste this, my Love.” I said the next morning as I held out a piece of biscuit to him.

“Where's the sun?” Tim asked wiping his eyes. “Well if it's over Lawrence's hotel why are we awake? Oh, the raid. No, I'm not missing it. That's phenomenal, Love. Any more? Yes I can taste the egg. Go ahead and blow the sleep from my eyes. I'll just finish my snack while you snack.”

I snacked and I slid up between his legs to fuck his ass. Folding Tim's legs back over his torso I plowed him deep and hard. Even if I hadn't been in a rush I'd have taken him quickly. Running around with a throbbing cock was no fun at all. Tim told me to stand well back from the taps when we approached the shower. I laughed but had to agree this shower was much more enjoyable.

“When did you put all this together?” Tim asked looking at the trays of biscuits and pot of sausage mix.

“The last couple of hours.” I said handing him the milk. “I had to go raid the cabin for some eggs. You're sure you could taste the eggs? Good I was wondering how I could include eggs without them going cold before the others woke up. Hard boiled and diced into the gravy seemed worth a try.”

“What time did you get up?” Tim asked as he stirred in the chocolate mix. “Four a.m. Way too early for me. Thanks for letting me sleep in.”

“A little won't hurt.” I said pouring some brandy into the pot of hot chocolate when he took it off the heat. “I just want them to be able to taste it. Hans always gets a kick out of it. Especially on a school day.”

We loaded the breakfast biscuits on some glass baking dishes and put them in a duffel bag. Tim packed the bowls of dessert into another duffel bag with separate bowls of ice-cream so it wouldn't melt before we made it down to Sanne's house. I handed him an ice-cream scoop and slipped a spatula into my bag. Sanne then Elaine then Amanda then Adam then us I instructed Tim. He saluted and kissed me. I swatted his butt and set out at a brisk pace.

When we got to Sanne's house we made use of her kitchen table to quickly dish up our treats. I slipped them on the bedside tables in Marikie and Hans' rooms but didn't want to risk waking Sanne and Bram. Tim helped me place a chair in the doorway to set the food on. Tim had agreed with me the smell alone ought to wake them and if we didn't get a thank you text soon we'd text them.

I decided on something different with Elaine. She had a tray specifically designed for breakfast in bed. I set everything up on it and placed this gently over her. Then Tim and I leaned in from either side and kissed her on her cheeks. We scampered away as she was stirring. Tim let me slip into the main bedroom at the cabin to set the food next to Amanda. I warned him not to enter the spare room before I got back.

“Good morning, Adam.” I said kissing him on the lips. “Don't panic but I need to blindfold you. You can return the blindfold later.”

“Sure, Dad.” Adam said calmly as he stretched. “Hmm, somebody seems to be making a meal of my ass. I don't mind at all. Especially with Dad making a meal of my cock and balls. Did you guys run out of food?”

“We ate a little too much last night and thought you would like to help us work off the extra calories.” Tim said rolling Adam on top of me.

Tim straddled Adam and without wasting anytime he entered my son. I reached up to caress Tim's balls for a few minutes. Then I slipped a finger into Tim's ass. Our whole plan depended on getting done before Amanda woke if possible. The pillow muffled Adam's groans of pleasure. Tim muffled his own cries with a mouthful of shirt when the pleasure started getting too intense. I loved the clenching of his ass around my finger as he fucked Adam. My finger kept stimulating his sweet spot all the way through their orgasms.

“Count to thirty before taking off your blindfold Adam.” I instructed while Tim hurriedly pulled on his pants and slipped into his sneakers. “Check to see if your mom's awake when you do. See you in a bit for the unveiling. I love you, Son.”

“Love you Dad. Love you Tim.” Adam said. “One. Two. Three...”

“Love you Adam.” Tim said kissing Adam quickly.

“I think we ought to have our breakfast on the jetty.” I said as we left the cabin hand-in-hand. “That was a lot of fun. All of it. Thanks for helping.”

“Well you certainly know how to treat your hired help well.” Tim said. “Adam's ass is the best possible rate of pay next to your ass.”

“Before you drink your hot chocolate let's add some more of the good stuff to it.” I said taking out a hip flask and adding a liberal splash to Tim's travel mug. “Glad I made an early trip the cabin and got most of this ready.”

“This is a very romantic setting.” Tim said as we watched the sun kiss the surface of the lake. “You know as much fun as delivering this all was I'm curious about the response from the others.”

“Then let me satisfy some of your curiosity.” Elaine said leaning in between us and kissing us each on the cheek. “I usually take my first cup of coffee on the porch and saw you guys. Rohan you are cute but not cute enough to be mistaken for a house gnome. That breakfast has your name written all over it. Yes, Tim, the cobbler. Who else would serve warm cobbler before seven a.m?”

“Care for another biscuit?” I asked holding up our plate. “I brought extras just in case.”

“Three is plenty with the cobbler.” Elaine said. “Now I'll leave you sweet guys alone and head over to the cabin. Adam is teaching me some Tai Chi. Love you guys. Thank you.”

“The dishes are from the cabin.” I said as she walked away. “Will you let the others know when you see them?”

“Gladly.” Elaine said. “Stop for coffee when you're done with breakfast.”

I think we managed to finish our breakfast and get in fifteen minutes of quiet time before we were interrupted a second time.

“I don't know whether to hug you guys or push you in the lake.” Sanne said. I was glad she chose to kneel behind us and hug us. “Cobbler for breakfast is sinful. The biscuits saved you from a swim. Gods they were good. Tim the kids loved it. Hans will still be grinning when we fetch him from school. Good hand on the brandy Rohan. I know how much he likes the slightest taste of it. Tim if he gets a little now and then I don't have to worry about him going overboard behind my back. I'd rather he drank with us openly. Elaine sent me to fetch you scoundrels. She says the coffee is ready and they're finished with their Tai Chi.”

“Sounds like we will get there right when they are done with their shower.” I said closing the duffel bags. “I could do with an Irish coffee.”

Amanda gave us each a thank you kiss. Bram shook our hands and told us Hans would give us a thank you kiss later. Marikie as well Sanne added. Tim settled for regular coffee because we had a long day. The talk flowed around me as I tried to figure out what was nagging at me. Amanda noticed my silence first.

“What's bothering you Rohan?” Amanda said. “Or are you planning another escapade?”

“I keep feeling I'm missing something.” I said. “Maybe it will come to me when I speak to Leslie. Oh, we need to call Lawrence and ask him if the hotel can spare some eggs. I had to raid the cabin fridge this morning. Amanda it has something to do with Lawrence. Who has the time?”

“Almost eight-thirty.” Bram said.

“Elaine I'd love a second Irish coffee if you don't mind me rushing off. I have a nine o'clock appointment with Leslie.” I said. “Bram what are your plans until the unveiling?”

“We're going to see if we can get one of the larger gates hung if we won't disturb your session.” Bram said. “Then the contractor will be over to take down the scaffolding. We may even get the second gate in place if all goes well.”

“You won't disturb me and I'd love it if you had the gates in place.” I said. “Hopefully our contractor will bring my new cutlery and other stuff with him. Will you and Adam be able to assemble the cabinet without us tomorrow? I might be busy with the blessing of the chapel. Tim there are a few parts to it including the one with Clifton. I'll tell you all about it soon Amanda.

Sanne if you are able to join the other two ladies and come up to the love nest at ten that would be great but I really need to chat with Amanda and Elaine. Amanda please hold that thought of mine involving Lawrence. Sanne I'll want to discuss our garden challenge with you sometime over lunch. Oh, heck I'm going to be late.”

“Why not have your session down here?” Adam suggested. “Tim can secure my laptop in less time than it will take you to walk back to the love nest.”

“You are welcome to use the bedroom.” Amanda added.

“Then I'll be late getting the lunch preparation started.” I said. “I didn't want you ladies to have to do more work.”

“You saved us having to prepare breakfast and I know you had to get up ridiculously early to do it.” Sanne said. “We'll still come out ahead. Elaine, didn't I tell you Rohan was getting so much better at accepting offers of help from others. Look how gracefully hes accepting our help with lunch.”

“Even Rohan should get a hint as subtle as that one.” Amanda said. “Adam go get the laptop set up with Tim while Rohan has another sip of his medicinal coffee. Then you'd better call Leslie or else she'll be trying his username and he'll be logged in as you.”

Ten minutes later a grinning Adam came down followed by Tim who was muttering about illiterate computer users with no idea how dangerous the cyberworld was or else they'd have a modicum of security in place. Laughing I hugged him and asked what he had planned for the next hour.

“I'll give Bram and Adam a hand with the gates while you chat with Leslie.” Tim said kissing me quickly.

“Leslie's waiting, Dad.” Adam reminded me with a swat to my butt. “Better let Tim loose.”

I did and headed upstairs. Leslie smiled when I blamed hugging a cute Brit for being late. Because I was on a tight schedule we got straight to the matter at hand. I had to admit to feeling uncomfortable throughout the marriage and honeymoon. Yes staying focused on the fact I was marrying Tim and wasn't the same man who got married before all helped. I was getting frustrated that I had to work so hard at it. Leslie reminded me healing took time. Tim was doing some healing she pointed out. She advised me to share some of my discomfort and the healing path I was on with Tim. He'd like to know he isn't alone and you're human as well Leslie told me.

“What are your plans for sex today?” Leslie asked me without any embarrassment.

“Leslie, I don't think I should kiss and tell. Especially before we even kiss.” I said startled.

“You both took me on as a therapist so I'll be asking you both this question. Get used to it.” Leslie said. “What I need to know is when you were planning on having sex today?”

“Well this afternoon I hope to test out the new playroom.” I said. “Trust me I'd liked to have gotten around to it sooner but it's been a busy week. We are trying to get the last little projects wrapped up. I had to order some extra stuff for the house and this meant some extra work for Bram. Thankfully Adam has been a great help.”

“So can I safely assume you'll be done before dinner?” Leslie asked. “Good. Then from the end of your playroom experience until after you have finished breakfast you will not have sex. Make certain your playroom experience gets finished before dinner time. You can return to the cabin next week if you need to test it some more.”

“But er well you know Tim is a healthy teenager. I could go that long but poor Tim would suffer terribly.” I said blushing. “Do you think I could er kiss the tension in him better. I'll be as quick as I can.”

“Rohan, it's so sweet you are blushing.” Leslie said laughing lightly. “Fine you can blow Tim tonight and when you wake up. I want the two of you to spend some time in bed together without sex. You may kiss but stop before kissing leads to other stuff. I want you both to experience what being married feels like. This is important for both of you. Write down what you feel as you lie there. Make notes of what you shared. I'll be asking Tim about it tomorrow before we start his work. In fact I think I'll have a quick check-in with you before I work with Tim. We'll take it further when I've heard how this went.”

I was glad I was no longer blushing when I joined the others downstairs. Elaine had kept some medicinal coffee warm for me in a travel mug. She topped it with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Amanda had washed the breakfast dishes and packed them all back in our duffel bags.

“You asked me to hold the thought of Lawrence.” Elaine began as we headed up to the house. “I think it will save time if we chat on the way. What did you have in mind that needed his help?”

“Well it's more his hotel and a few rooms I might need.” I said. “I want to first let you and Amanda know the final decision is up to the two of you. Whatever you decide is fine by me. Okay?”

“Yes, Rohan, now spill it.” Amanda said. “I'm guessing it involves Adam or you wouldn't involve Elaine and me.”

“We are blessing the chapel tomorrow night with help from Clifton.” I said and explained his text message. “I will start with a private blessing and a second involving Tim. The third will be tomorrow night and Clifton will be chanting with me. What I was thinking was how long Adam and Morgan have been apart. Saturday will be extremely busy as well so realistically they won't get to spend time together before Sunday.”

“Unless Morgan is here tomorrow night.” Elaine finished and quickly kissed my cheek. “Hush Rohan you are being very sweet again and I think it would be very nice if Morgan could make it up tomorrow evening. I've had time with Adam this entire week. The least I can do is give up a night.”

“Elaine is right.” Amanda said. “This is a very sweet gesture and I'm sure the rest of the gang would love to come up for the blessing.”

“I'm glad you are okay with it but there's something else to consider.” I said as we approached the house. “You ladies kindly agreed to prepare dinner but if the entire gang is coming up that will be a lot more work. We will also need more food.”

“Bram got several recipes for smoking meat from Ivan.” Sanne said. “There isn't a lot of work involved in loading the smoker with more meat. You've cooked for the entire gang with just the boys to help so we will manage. I'll see if Tammy is able to help.”

“I know one or two of the assistant chefs who'd be happy to help if we need extra hands.” Elaine said. “Stephen calls in his meat order at lunchtime today so if I give him a quick call now we will know what meat he has available and will be able to order more. The produce delivery also gets delivered tomorrow. He will know what they have. The three of you go get started on the pizza prep while I take care of this order.”

“Hi, Sophie, how are you?” Amanda asked while we got started on the preparation. She had set the phone on the counter. “You're on speakerphone because we are a pressed for time. Rohan wanted to invite the gang to join us for the chapel blessing tomorrow night. We know it's short notice but he wanted to see if we'd made other plans here and if we would be able to accommodate more guests before asking.”

“Hi guys. I'm fine.” Sophie said. “I don't think anybody made plans because of the orphanage opening Saturday. Let me put you on speaker phone so Dylan and J can join in. Dylan do you know if Morgan and his family have plans for tomorrow?”

“I had made some tentative plans to go to a movie with Morgan but this sounds way better.” Dylan said. “You are doing this so he can spend time with Adam aren't you?”

“Your son knows you so well.” Sanne said. “Yes that's his main motivation. What got him thinking of the rest of you was Clifton asking if he could spend a little time in the chapel tomorrow night after the blessing. Rohan wouldn't allow it unless Clifton helped with the blessing. One part of it at least. So you have Clifton to thank.”

“I'll understand if it is a lot of driving for just one evening.” I said. “We'll be leaving early to get back and help Patricia.”

“Patricia could do with a break as well.” J said. “I'll get Petersen and Leif to tie her up and toss her in the car if that's what it takes. We can go over there today and help her get ahead of schedule. Rohan she was dusting a spotless office for the third time yesterday. Give me a minute and I'll get your housekeeper to join our chat.”

“Rohan what are you up to now?” my housekeeper said without preamble. “I need to have words about Tim for not keeping you in bed long enough to keep you out of trouble. Of course he's being sweet and kind and helping people, Sanne, but even he needs some rest.”

“This time we will be doing the extra work.” Amanda said laughing and explained my plan. “We'd welcome all the help we can get if it's no trouble.”

“We have all of today to get the orphanage stuff wrapped up.” my housekeeper said. “I can get in a cleaning crew if needed. No, Rohan, this will be at my expense as a gift to the orphanage. Patricia does need a day away. Richard and Lawrence can take her under their wing for a day.”

“I'm pretty certain Lawrence will have rooms at the hotel for you guys.” I said. “We'll check with him and let you know. Please will you rent a car for a couple of weeks. You will need it today wrapping things up. This will allow us to meet you at the hotel Saturday morning and save you having to fetch us. Yes, I'll agree to join you for breakfast at the hotel if you insist.”

“Naturally I insist when it comes to less work for you.” my housekeeper said. “No go do what you need to do and we'll go take care of Patricia. I think we can keep this as a surprise for Adam. I'll let Morgan know.”

“Did I hear somebody mention a surprise for me?” Adam said entering the kitchen. “Elaine doesn't Rohan need your help with lunch?”

“Getting you out of here so we can chat is more important.” I said. “Before you go I need you to kiss me and grope my ass.”

“I'll do it because Elaine assures me the surprise is worth it.” Adam said with a grin sliding up next to me. “We have the gates in place and the windows are ready. No, I haven't seen them. The contractor and his guys did it so we would all be surprised.”

“That's enough.” Elaine said. “We need you safely out of here.”

“Tim your timing is perfect.” Adam said. “You can take my place. Dad needs some more kisses and his ass fondled. He's being sweet to me again and I have to leave so he can wrap things up.”

“Hello Richard.” I said when Adam was safely out of earshot. “Can the hotel accommodate most of the gang tomorrow night? I'm not certain how many rooms we will need.”

“We can always use the suites.” Richard said. “Lawrence is insisting on using the suites so his housekeepers get some training making them up. Regular room rates to you guys because you are helping us with training.”

“That's seems fair.” Sanne said before I could protest. Tim smiled at me and squeezed my ass harder. “Rohan is in a very sensible mood. We also need some help from the two of you with Patricia. She needs to drink some of Lawrence's nerve tea. Does he have extra?”

“I knew she should have let me buy her some while I was there earlier this week.” Lawrence said when Sanne explained. “J is right in kidnapping her. You will tell them to stop in at the hotel on the way up tomorrow won't you? Good. I'll call Petersen and Leif before I speak to Patricia to get an accurate assessment of what still needs doing. Yes, I'll let him know to work with your housekeeper.

We're about thirty minutes from you guys so I'll update you when we get there. Rohan there is nothing more important than taking care of Patricia on my agenda tomorrow. Between the two of us and all the cooking that needs doing she'll be well looked after. Tracy, bless her heart, will bring enough alcohol with her to keep the entire naval academy happy. Tammy just got given tomorrow off so she'll be able to help prepare dinner as well. Bert can bring Clifton over when he gets home from school or he can come home with Hans.”

“Thank you, guys.” I said. “Now where were we?”

“Dough, my Love.” Tim said calmly. “I'll get us a pitcher of beer. Ladies it's the least we can do in return for all the extra work. Besides I need some to calm my nerves. The contractor brought our order with him. I hope Bram won't take long to put the cabinet together. Sanne I'm so eager to see it.”

“Rohan would you please help Lawrence?” Richard asked dragging a muttering Lawrence with him.

“I knew I shouldn't have left her without tea.” Lawrence muttered. “I should have had Tammy stay with her. Maybe if I'd been there she wouldn't be in this state. The poor girl. I really should have done more.”

“How long has he been this way?” I asked as the two ladies stared at Lawrence in shock.

“Ten minutes or so.” Richard said. “Maybe a special kiss or three.”

“Or six or seven.” Amanda suggested.

Wordlessly I led Lawrence back outside until we were standing on the ground. Then letting him continue with his litany I repeated the healing mantra a dozen times out loud. I then switched to saying the grounding mantra silently within me. On the fourteenth repetition Lawrence blinked and looked around him in surprise. Richard was ready with a cup of Lawrence's nerve tea. He sat next to Lawrence on a lounger and they talked softly for a few minutes. The rest of us slipped quietly back inside. Sanne kissed Tim when he said there were three men with incredibly big hearts here today.

Bram came in to see if we were ready to view the chapel. Adam, Tim and me had to close our eyes and let the others guide us into place outside the chapel. All the gang helping Patricia had taken a break so they could share this experience with us. Lao, Daizan and Mu were also present. The larger middle window was a copy of the gates from my personal chapel back in town. On either side of it were two smaller windows depicting other mantras. Daizan told us the one on the right was a visual representation of the mantra he had shared with Clifton. Lao told us the other one represented the heart sūtra. This was the next mantra we'd share with Clifton.

“What is it?” Adam asked.

“Tadyatha om gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svahah.” Daizan chanted rhythmically. “Adam you and Clifton can research it and we will chat some more about it. I'll also ask you for your own interpretation as it arises within you when you chant. You shouldn't need more than a couple of weeks if you are diligent in your practice. At least to get you started. Some people use this mantra for decades or an entire lifetime.”

“Judging by his silence I suspect Rohan is pleased with our gift.” Mu said with a smile.

“He's had a busy morning.” Tim said leaning in to kiss my cheek. “He loves it if a kiss gets not even a flinch in response.”

There were no words to express the feelings inside of me. I knew the three wise men would understand so I walked quietly around to the chapel doors. Stepping inside and seeing the light shining through the glass broke the spell. The light and my Lady breaking into song within me. She sang a song of healing within me before I could allow her to sing a song of thanks and reverence out loud. Then I quietly left the chapel telling everybody I had lunch to prepare.

Tim raised an eyebrow when he saw I'd poured myself a pitcher of stout but didn't say anything. I'd completely forgotten about the gates which is why he had come to fetch me. Adam told me there was no need to apologize and he laid the blame entirely on the three wise men for giving me such an amazing gift. I smiled when he said he would punish them with a hug and kiss tomorrow. Lao let me know he wasn't going to miss hearing Clifton do some chanting. He could rely on Clifton not to embarrass him.

In their own way the gates were as magnificent as the stained glass. I hugged Adam close as I stood between them gazing from one side of the garden to the other.

“Sanne what did you have planned for that open patch in the corner?” I finally asked.

“I left that open just in case there was something special you wanted to add.” Sanne said.

“Are there some flowers we can plant there?” I asked. “I'd like a small seating area with some fragrant flowers behind it. You've already got all the herbs and vegetables I could ever want in here. Who's going to take care of it while I am gone?”

“Clifton, Hans and Marikie were hoping you'd give them the job.” Bram said. “Clifton will no doubt want to spend a lot of time in the chapel.”

“You can appoint Clifton curator of my chapel and tell the three of them they are my gardeners.” I said. “Whatever salary you think is fair. Err slightly on the generous side. My housekeeper will bring up some cleaning supplies tomorrow. Do we have a storage cabinet or will this mean more work for Bram?”

“I can make one quickly.” Bram said. “No trouble at all.”

“No need.” my contractor said. “Rohan I haven't given you a wedding gift because I didn't know what you needed. On my way over I had to collect a closet from one of my rental properties that was no longer needed. I'll let Bram and your housekeeper have a look and if they think it suitable it's all yours.”

“Thank you.” Tim said. “I'll go take a look with you and give you a hand unloading it. I'm sure it will be perfect.”

“You have lunch to prepare and we have work to finish.” my housekeeper said. “Patricia if you don't behave I will make you stand in the corner and have Rohan's lady sing for you. Nobody is arriving until noon on Saturday. I intend to get you here five minutes before they arrive and no earlier. Lawrence and Richard can take turns sitting on you if that's what it takes. We're getting hungry as well so go off with Petersen and practice cooking something new and wonderful for us. Tracy grab a bottle or two and play nurse.”

“Let me play the nurse for a few minutes.” Lao said. “Then I'll teach Patricia and Petersen an old family recipe. One that is almost as old as Rohan. After lunch I will show Patricia how to take care of a bonsai tree.”

“The rest of us are already looking for things to do Patricia so we can spare you both.” J said. “You are spending tonight with us. We are taking you with us when we leave and returning you here just before the others arrive on Saturday.”

“One word of protest and I'll feed you to J and Dylan tonight.” Sophie said. “Dylan promised me grandchildren and you love children more than anybody I know so it will work out perfectly.”

“Adds a whole new dimension to planned parenthood, doesn't it Leslie?” Tracy asked.

The rest of us laughed and said our goodbyes. A short while later Tim and Adam entered the kitchen to tell me the closet was perfect and blended in very nicely with the other wood in the chapel. I was glad Bram didn't have to do any more work. Sanne took the boys out to the garden to work on my seating area. My contractor showed them the website of a nearby garden supply store that also sold outdoor furniture. Adam had the nerve to charge me five kisses to spend my money on the seating area. While I settled my bill Tim snagged them a pitcher of beer to help with the planning.

Amanda went looking for them when the pizzas started coming out of the oven. I laughed when I heard about Adam's disappointment that the best looking furniture wasn't the most expensive. Our contractor would deliver it tomorrow when he came to the evening chapel blessing. Sanne had insisted on the opportunity to get to meet his wife. She thought it would be nice if Marikie met his teenage daughter. There will be plenty of able-bodied guys here to help unload and get the furniture in place Bram pointed out.

We were nearing the end of our lunch when the cleaning crew arrived. Elaine invited them to join us for some pizza and beer before they started. When I mentioned I'd be tied up tying Tim up this afternoon Elaine let them know she'd be around if they had any questions.

“I'll be here helping Adam and Bram assemble the cabinet.” Elaine said. “Rohan we made certain no sound would escape from the playroom when we designed it. Tim you will be in no state to unpack anything when you crawl out of the playroom so I'll do it for you. I'm even cooking dinner for you guys. Bram will help me set up my massage table in the master suite.”

“The good thing is you'll be so out of it when Dad's finished beating you that you won't even notice how bad the smoothie tastes.” Adam said. “Tim I will be here if you need to chat afterward. J and Juliet just texted me to let me know they will be free at around five as well. Anything special in mind for him, Dad?”

“Some feather play and a lot of edging.” I said calmly. “Now let me thank you. I need to get this place tidied up and before I test the playroom. Elaine are you certain you don't need a hand with anything before we start? Will two hours be enough time or shall I extend it to three?”

“Two hours will be fine.” Elaine said earning a kiss from Tim. “Bram decided to give the smoker a test run today so we will have some smoked chicken for your dinner. All I have to do is prepare some sides.”

“I'll help with the unpacking.” Amanda said. “Rohan if Adam is going to be up here there's no point in me staying at the cabin on my own.”

“Thanks, Rohan, that will be a big help.” Bram said when I told him to use the four-wheeler and trailer to get stuff up here. “I'll get the storage addition to the shed and the cabinet done in two hours with Adam's help.”

“Tracy will let Lindsey know how many people are coming up tomorrow so you don't need to worry. Thank you for helping me earlier.” Lawrence said kissing me quickly on the lips. “Now go play with Tim. There's enough people here to tidy up. You need to play even more than Tim does. We all saw how deeply those gifts touched you.”

Adam helped me fill a cooler with ice and several bottles of mineral water. Tim thanked Adam with a kiss when he said he'd check to see if there was an empty pitcher outside the playroom door and refill it for us. He kissed us both before leaving the playroom and closing the door behind us. I joined Tim in a beer while we set up the playroom. Juliet had left us with some stocks that not only held the hands and neck in place but offered the choice of adding some stocks for the feet. These could be screwed to a thick piece of wood that extended back between the legs. I got it in place early so Tim would spend a few minutes anticipating what lay ahead. Then I set out the smaller genital stocks in plain sight with a feather resting on them.

“Before we begin, my Love, there is something I need to share and know.” I said as we kissed and undressed each other. “I chatted with Juliet briefly before you left for your chat with her and J. I asked her to design this playroom specifically for you. Every toy would be one she felt you could handle now. Later through your chats she'd learn when to add more toys ad devices. Yes, that's why she asked you so many questions. Knowing this I want to know if you wish to place any restrictions on our play during this session?”

“You trust Juliet completely don't you?” Tim asked and I nodded. “I'm pretty certain if you went through every toy with me one by one I'd ask you to set aside some. Later when we introduced them I'd regret not having done it sooner. Scoundrel it would be silly of me to pretend I am not scared, nervous and excited. Will you hold me for a few minutes while I think this through, please?”

“I'll hold you for as long as you need.” I said pulling him down to the floor with me.

Sitting on the floor with my back to the wall I drew him against me. I loved the feel of his back pressing against my front. We sipped on our beer while my brave mate thought things through. He knew this was a decision only he could make so he didn't ask for advice.

“My Love there is tremendous love for me both inside and outside this playroom.” Tim said softly after a few minutes had passed in silence. “J, Adam and Juliet are there to help me make sense of whatever I experience and to answer my questions. Elaine is there to massage my butt and other appendages. She'll also have a vile tasting smoothie for me to enjoy. You will do any energy work I need. Then I have your lovely lady to sing me healing songs or a lullaby. I know you won't let it go too far. I also know if you have such faith in Juliet there is no reason for me not to trust her. Drink up Scoundrel it is time I took the plunge and if you loiter I may back out.”

“No you won't Beloved.” I said. “You found the courage to go for it and nothing will stop you. That's one of the sparks that keeps your inner light so bright. I want you to know I find your courage inspirational and hope I prove worthy of your faith.”

“Oh, Scoundrel, I have no doubt of that.” Tim said kissing me when I got to my feet.

Feather or paddle first I wondered as I secured him in the stocks. I pulled his feet back until his back was level and secured them in place. Feather first I decided and secured the ball stocks on him. The feather alone wouldn't be enough for what I had in mind. I wanted some bite. Opening the closet I took a look at what Juliet had bought us. Nipple clamps would be perfect I decided. Especially the ones that allowed me to add a small amount of weight to them.

Tim cried out in pain as the clamps bit down on him. He moaned when I added a little weight to them. I kissed him quickly and stepped behind him. Starting at the back of his neck I began to work the feather down to his ass. Keeping the feather on his back I let him get used to the mix of pleasure and pain. When my feather had made its way down between his cheeks I drew it back up along his flanks. Tim squirmed when I reached his ribs. This caused the nipple clamps to sway and pull on his tender nipples. Gritting my teeth slightly I kept on going up to his armpits. Groans of pain caused him to choke on the laughter from the tickling. The sight of sweat beading on his forehead nearly caused me to falter.

For the first time I considered bringing a session to a premature end. Surprisingly it was my Lady who talked me into continuing. She told me we both needed to go through with the session. Split your focus and let a part of it rest on me she advised. This will be hard on you but you have the strength to make it through she continued. Then she started singing within me. A gentle, soothing song to ease my doubts.

When I knelt behind Tim to work the feather down his legs the song flowed out from me. Barely audible but loud enough to soothe the two of us. Leaning slightly forward I softly kissed Tim's legs as the feather worked down from his ass to his ankles. The pleasure laced with pain was beginning to overwhelm Tim. His begging had changed to groans. These groans had become less coherent with each passing minute. Now the sounds that arose within him were primordial sounds forced out by the combination of pleasure and pain. The sharp pain from the chest counterbalanced by the dull ache in his groin.

Working on my beloved I found myself almost overwhelmed by the fear of taking this too far. The shaking of his body had grown into tremors. Now it was too late to stop. I had teased him long enough to know I couldn't flee to safety. There was no other option but to let the tidal wave of doubt crash over me. We were both too committed to the session to safely stop know. The feather worked back up to his cleft. Lightly kissing and teasing it circled his puckered hole. I waited for my signal. Pressing my lips to his ass I kissed him. I let the feather slip between his legs to tickle his balls while I rimmed him.

Finally Tim slumped motionless in the stocks. His body barely twitching under the light lash of the feather. Wasting no time I freed his balls and slid his cock into my mouth. Motionless he pumped cum into me with just a few weak spasms and moans. When I was certain I'd got every drop I slipped in front of him to kiss his lips, his tears, his cheeks and neck.

“Oh, Tim, my sweet brave boy.” I said running my fingers through his hair. “You were so strong. So fucking amazing. I love you. I fucking love you.”

“I'm glad.” Tim said with a faint smile. “Any chance of a drink?”

“Of course, Beloved.” I said quickly grabbing some mineral water. “Drink this first. Slowly. Little sips at first. Good. Now longer ones.”

When we had finished the large bottle of mineral water between us I held a mug of beer to his lips.

“Damn that tastes even better than usual.” Tim said. “That was a fairly decent warm up, Scoundrel. Some more beer would be nice. Thank you, my Love. I'll never be ready so go ahead with whatever else you have planned.”

“First I'll get that scurvy knave of a son to get us some more beer.” I said and walked to the door. “Adam some stout would be nice. Thank you. Knock on the door please.”

I continued kissing Tim gently while I waited for the knock. This gave me time to think about how I was going to continue. Adam had waited to hand me the beer so I kissed him. I noticed a momentary flash of concern in his eyes but he never said a word. He went a little pale when I said we'd just finished with the feather. Tim helped me finish half a pint of the stout. I tied him off while I was still on my knees. Then I removed the nipple clamps. Tim's body wouldn't stay motionless for very much longer.

Keeping him in the stocks I began his thrashing with the paddle. The tickling had warmed him up enough to allow me to make it a firm warm-up right from the start. Tim was soon jerking and crying out within the stocks. I angled the paddle to get as much surface contact with his flesh as possible on each stroke. Striking from above his ass I landed blows across the downward curve of his cheeks. Then angling the paddle upwards I caught the underside of his ass. A flat paddle drove firmly across the center.

Setting aside the paddle I loosened the foot stocks enough for them to slide forward as I raised the wrist and neck stocks. Tim was sobbing unashamedly at this point. Ignoring the tears I held the glass of stout to his lips. Between sobs he managed to drink a good amount. I let him feel the burn for a few minutes longer as I lubricated his ass. There was the promise of being his cane wielding principal to fulfill. I kept the cane out of sight when I took it from the cupboard. There was no mistaking its distinctive feel as I rested it across his ass.

“Oh, fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” Tim whispered. “Ow! Ouch! Holy fuck! That smarts.”

Nine, ten, eleven, twelve and done I counted silently. That was my limit. I knew I needed to fuck him but first the tie had to come off his cock. Tim climaxed when I buried myself inside him. My beloved's body shook with pleasure even though he was still caught up in the pain of his thrashing. All that kept me sane was my own desperate need to fuck him. I had to keep fucking him. Like the strokes I counted the thrusts. There was no soft singing to go with this fuck. The only sounds were those of Tim crying and the slap of flesh on flesh. A few minutes later I cried out in relief as I climaxed inside him.

Leaning forward I wrapped my arms around him, pressed my cheek against his back and began crying with him. Tim stood leaning slightly forward beneath me as I shed tears of relief that it was over. We had both made it through. How long I cried for I don't know. A knocking at the door brought me back to the present. I went over and opened it.

“Elaine's waiting for Tim.” Adam said looking up at me with a concerned expression. “She's in the master bedroom area. I gave her a bottle of the cream. Let me help you get Tim out of the stocks. Please Dad.”

“Thanks Son. I could use a hand.” I said.

While Adam released Tim from the stocks I held my beloved upright. The moment his feet were free I scooped him up into my arms. My first few steps towards the door were a little unsteady but I managed to carry Tim through to the bedroom. Taking my time I made certain to set Tim very, very gently on the massage table.

“Before I leave Tim owes me a thank you kiss for carrying him all this way.” I said leaning down to claim my payment.

“Thank you, Scoundrel. Do we have any beer left in our pitcher?” Tim asked.

“Yes you do. Here's a glass.” Adam said from behind me. I took it from him, knelt and held it to Tim's lips.

“I'll see he gets more when he wants it.” Elaine said gently taking the glass from me. “Tim you'll be delighted to know I'm about to make your ass the center of a conversation. Yes it's with Juliet and J. I'm glad you don't mind but you weren't given a choice. They also have some questions for you when they finish inspecting your ass. Rohan why don't you go put the playroom back together and fill a pitcher for Tim. The smoothie is right there. He'll drink it before he gets more beer. Having the pitcher here will be a good incentive. Adam please get you dad moving toward the playroom. Thank you.”

“Come on, Dad. I'll give you a hand.” Adam said leading me from the room. “They need a little privacy so Tim can speak freely.”

Adam did most of the cleaning up in the playroom. I was still dealing with the knowledge I'd reached my limit in a session. Had I pushed Tim past his I wondered. Another question I couldn't answer was why I had reached my limit so quickly. When I explained what was bothering me Adam led me through to the kitchen so I could see the time. He assured me the clock wasn't wrong and the session had taken slightly longer than two hours. I had told him when I called for the stout I'd just finished the feather play. Even allowing for getting things set up and our chat the tickling had lasted for at least an hour and fifteen minutes Adam told me. Then we returned to put the last of the stuff away and clean the floor of Tim's cum.

“Okay I'll allow you to get the beer now but we are taking a shower right after I deliver it to Tim.” Adam said. “Don't dawdle Dad. You're in need of some medical treatment.”

I decided on some ale after all the stout we'd been drinking. Adam told me he was delivering it because they might still be chatting. He promised to deliver a kiss along with the beer. When he joined me in the shower he delivered a kiss to me from Tim. Adam decided the no sex arrangement with Leslie only applied to Tim so he was free to fuck me. I honestly saw the logic in his argument so I got down on my hands and knees. Sensing my distraction Adam threw in some ball spanking to get my attention. This worked splendidly. He also decided he couldn't leave me with a hard-on so he took me in his mouth and drained my load. Now I could do whatever I had promised Leslie without distractions.

“The exercise Leslie has in mind seems like a good one but I think you guys got the timing wrong.” Adam said as I dried him. “There's always fallout from an extended playroom session, Dad. You might be able to shake off the effects and focus on the other stuff tonight but Tim won't. Do what you can but don't stress out about it.”

I slipped on a bathrobe while Adam got dressed. He promised to sit with Tim when it was my turn for a massage. We tried playing darts but I couldn't focus so we snuggled on the couch and watched a playoff baseball game. Elaine came through to fetch me on her own. She'd moved Tim from the massage table to our bed. I was fine with him being there while I got my massage. Yes I was quite happy to chat with Juliet and J with him listening.

“You'll have to come along Son if you're going to keep your promise to look after Tim.” I said. “Besides you can help me express things better and answer Tim's questions. This second pitcher of beer is to save you a walk to get more. We'll need it before Elaine finishes pummeling me.”

I leaned over and kissed Tim as he lay under the covers. He assured me he was feeling better thanks to his chat and Elaine's skilled hands. Adam slipped under the covers and pressed himself against Tim. My brave Brit smiled when Adam explained he was keeping his promise to look after him so I didn't miss my massage. There was no charge for his services because he'd got to service my ass in the shower.

“Rohan for somebody so bright and intuitive you are incredibly dense at times.” Juliet said when I voiced my concerns at reaching my limit before the end of a session. “This is your mate you were thrashing today. Naturally you will have less desire to push things as far as with others. No matter what you say about love being the same each relationship has a different dynamic and energy. You did an impressive job even with your shorter limit.

When I thrash you it is much harder and longer than I do with anybody else. You take that just fine. Dylan has recounted the thrashing you took from him when you guys first met. Adam could take you into the playroom and give you a spanking that would make even J squirm. You would come through just fine because you are on the receiving end. That's a very important difference. We'll chat more about this later.

I'm glad you didn't stop at the beginning. Tim will share what he learned with you when you have the time and he is ready. You did learn something very important. We're honored you trust us enough to share it with us. Many men would be hesitate to admit their love for another stopped them from continuing the spanking. Rohan you honored where you are now. This is something that will allow Tim to trust you even more. Yes, Tim, I know you trust him but reassurance is nice. There is a part of all of us that needs something to draw upon when we begin to doubt.”

“Tim in the future as the sessions increase you will doubt your ability to endure.” J added. “When this happens you will remember this chat and know Rohan will stop before laying on one more blow too many. He'd rather risk looking weak in your eyes than make the spanking last too long. No man likes to risk being seen as weak. This is a part of the discomfort Rohan is going through right now.”

“What's the other part?” Adam asked.

“Realizing that he loves Tim so much he would settle into a vanilla relationship to avoid hurting Tim in any way, shape or form.” Elaine said kissing my cheek. “Yes, Adam, he loves you this much as well but you asked for maintenance spankings. You know there's nothing Rohan won't give you.”

“Scoundrel, I'll say this now in case my ass hurts enough in the morning to make me to change my mind.” Tim said. “I'm not as convinced as Adam that I will be a submissive but I'd hate to live my life wondering what joy I denied myself by not exploring this path. There is nobody else I'd like to take this journey with and especially now I know you will be happy to set aside the whip if I asked.”

“Rohan, it would have been much harder for Tim to stop exploring this path if he thought you would get less pleasure from your relationship if he asked you to stop spanking him.” Juliet said. “You will have to ask your wise Lady but I think this is what you both needed to know. Amongst all the other stuff Tim learned tonight.”

“Looks like the two of you are doing fine.” J said. “Now if you'll excuse us we will go downstairs to join the others for dinner. Rohan your apartment is the only place we can all get together. Dylan and Morgan are sleeping here with Patricia. She needs a break from the orphanage Adam. Everything is ready for Saturday.”

“When you rejoin the others please let Leslie know there has been some fallout from the playroom session that will impact the assignment she gave Dad.” Adam said. “Tim, I'll let Dad explain it to you at dinner. Goodbye guys. See you on Saturday.”

“Yes you will.” J said with a smile.

“Thanks guys.” I said. “I think Tim needs this smoothie more than me, Elaine.”

“I'll make him a second if he does.” Elaine said. “Lao brought up plenty of herbs. The sooner you get through the smoothie the sooner you can have a beer.”

I drained the smoothie in three long swallows. Elaine handed me a glass of beer as she took the empty glass from me. After a sip of beer I lay back down so she could finish my massage. When she finished Elaine told me to get in bed with Tim. Adam went to give her a hand with our dinner. They brought us each a plate and told us there was some pie keeping warm in the oven. Adam told me Bram had left my four-wheeler with the trailer here for them. Tim supported my decision to admire the new cabinet and dinnerware before they left. I gave them both a thank you kiss. Tim also kissed them. Elaine shooed us back to bed right away telling us we could ooh and aah more over it in the morning. Adam told Tim I'd explain his no sex comment.

“Elaine bringing pajamas on a honeymoon is a very bad omen.” Tim explained. “Oh, it's okay. I owe Leslie a kiss for allowing you to blow me.”

“Just as long as you don't give her that kiss while Dad is blowing you.” Adam said with a grin. “Good night. Love you.”

“Wait. I need a brandy and soda.” I said lifting up the covers.

“What for? There's beer right here.” Elaine asked.

“Brand and soda makes a better mouthwash.” I said with a wicked grin.

Elaine stood guard while Adam got us each a brandy and soda. She made us both promise we would only get out of bed to use the bathroom. When she left she was warning me I was coming close to using up all my goodwill from Adam's surprise. Adam draped an arm over her shoulders and promised her a quick massage when they got to the cabin.

“My Love we will have to set aside another night for this assignment.” Tim said when I explained Leslie's suggestion. “I can understand how a bad marriage could leave you with some scars to heal. So we are opening wounds within each other. A good thing we are as committed to helping each other heal. Speaking of healing I've got this terrible tension just below my waist.”

“Let me kiss it better, Beloved.” I said sliding under the covers.

“I don't care what you say, my Love, I think you make a splendid nurse.” Tim said a few minutes later. “Don't forget to take that finger out my ass or I'll never get to sleep.”

“Killjoy.” I said removing the offending digit from him. “Good night, Beloved. Sleep well. Tomorrow will be a busy day.”

“A lovely busy day.” Tim said snuggling against me after setting his glass down. “Good night.”

We used the new plates at breakfast. I made us something light because I would be doing my blessing while Tim had his session with Leslie. Tim joined me on my walk to pick some wildflowers for the chapel altar. Elaine sent us a text to tell us most of the gang would arrive around 11:30 depending on how long Lawrence detained them at the hotel. Leslie apologized but Ivan couldn't get done before two so they'd only be with us at five. I told her we wouldn't do anything before six and would wait for them to arrive. She told us J had explained things to her last night so she understood us going to sleep early. I kissed Tim and hurried over to the chapel.

When I approached the chapel my Lady made me stop for some singing lessons. She explained it was my chapel and even if I caused skeletons to writhe in agony some things needed saying in my voice. What she could do was give me some tips and voice exercises to practice briefly. I chuckled when she said I wouldn't embarrass her too much without anybody else around to hear. The tips and exercises had moved me from diabolical to horrendous. Progress is progress I said to myself.

Slipping on my official robe I carried the vase of wildflowers to the altar. Although I had to say the ritual incantations and hymns my Lady guided me from within. This helped me pronounce some of the old Latin bits correctly and twice saved me from forgetting a couple of lines in a hymn. Whenever I found myself struggling I would gaze towards the windows and feel heartened. Two of the greatest spiritual people I had ever met had enough faith in me to share the secrets of their tradition with me. The windows were proof of this faith. I sent out many a silent thanks to them during the hour it took to finish the first part of the blessing. On a whim I sealed it all with the ninth mantra from my retreat. When I finished my Lady sang a blessing through me.

Outside the chapel Tim waited for me. I invited him in to sit with me and admire the windows. This is my chapel so kissing is definitely allowed. Any homophobic god will have to find another chapel to inhabit I announced loudly between kisses. Tim perked up when I said in a couple of hours he'd think kissing me in the chapel was no big deal. I was happy to hear he had mapped out an approach to healing the wounds with his parents. This session had been more a feeling out session for Leslie. We stopped our canoodling when Elaine texted us to say our guests were thirty minutes out.

“How did she know?” Tim asked when we left the chapel. Elaine had told us to pry ourselves apart and get our butts down to the cabin.

“We're on our honeymoon so the chances are pretty good we'd be kissing.” I said giving him another kiss.

Amanda had plotted with Bram to have Adam working in the forge when the others arrived. I insisted on having some time with Patricia before we sprung the surprise on Adam. Patricia was not looking happy about being dragged up here even though I knew on a deeper level she understood how much she needed it. There's no need to go anywhere I told the others as I took Patricia's hands in mine. One by one I thought of all the people around us and how much I loved them. When I called to mind the seventh person Patricia started shedding some tears. I kept on until I had shared the love I had for twelve people with her. Then I drew her into my arms and held her close.

When I let her go she immediately went over to hug Richard and Lawrence. She apologized to them for her mood. Rather than delay the surprise any longer she promised to apologize to the others during the day. Dylan slipped beneath my arm and Morgan hugged Tim as we walked to the forge. I hid the gang inside the dormitory. Morgan stood outside the door to the forge. Bram suggested Adam step outside to cool down and get some water. Wisely he stepped quickly to the side of the door before Adam stepped outside. He blinked a couple of times to adjust to the sunlight then spotted Morgan.

“Morgan! Oh, my god! Morgan!” Adam said charging across and throwing himself at his love.

“Why don't we go inside and I'll explain when we are sitting down with something to drink. You have got to be thirsty.” Morgan said smoothly leading Adam to us.

I knew I was in trouble the moment Adam quietly set about greeting the gang without a word to me. Tracy had let him take a swig from her bottle of honey vodka to get over the shock. Juliet waited for him to finish greeting the others before she hugged and kissed him. Then reaching over her neck she drew a tawes out from beneath her shirt and held it out to Adam.

“Juliet I am sweating and dirty so it will take a long shower to get me clean.” Adam said without looking away from her. “Even with Morgan's help I don't think I will finish in an hour. I'll pay you five kisses to go to the love nest and show Tim how much of a thrashing Dad can take. A thrashing won't interfere with the blessing you plan to do with Tim will it Dad? I thought it might enhance it.”

“Really? I'm intrigued.” Tim said. His eyes widened when he remembered my earlier comment. “So that's why you said I'd think nothing of kissing you in the chapel later today. Adam is he planning what I think? In a church?”

“Dad plans to bless the chapel with love.” Adam said. “I'm sorry but puddle-licious will have nothing on what you are about to feel. Yes Tracy it will be like that day you felt his love for us only this time it is his life-partner.”

“I'll wait outside with some medicine.” Tracy said. “I've been trained by Lao so you will be safe. Yes, I'll be on the deck with some medicine when Juliet gets finished thanking Adam's dad for him. Best settle up those kisses Juliet.”

“Seven I believe it was.” Juliet said with a smile.

“Not one less than ten.” Adam said kissing her.

Juliet agreed with Tim that Adam was not only thanking me but helping him get through his experience from yesterday. J tagged along but Sophie decided she didn't want to see this spanking. Dylan wouldn't be left out. He did take a swig from Tracy's medicine bottle before he stepped into the playroom and closed the door behind us.

“My Love this blessing we are doing won't last long if we do it right after your thrashing.” Tim said.

“The duration isn't as important as the amount of loving energy.” I said as I stripped. “You might want to exchange your clothes for a robe. Dylan please go with him and bring a robe back for me with you. Son it would be best if you got Tim ready in the bedroom.”

“Oh, right.” Dylan said catching the bottle of lube I tossed his way.

“I don't think I'd be half as calm as you are Rohan.” J said as we waited for Tim and Dylan to return.

“The only reason I am this calm is because it is Juliet wielding the tawes.” I admitted. “Yes, I'm sure you plan to make it an epic thrashing, Juliet. I'm honored to receive it.”

Dylan and J took hold of Tim's hands. Unspoken between Tim and me was his comment from yesterday about trusting Juliet completely. After a tender kiss Tim left me to my fate. Juliet offered to restrain me. I asked her what positions I'd be thrashed in. When she said standing up to start and then bent forward with my hands on a chair I refused the offer of restraints. Spreading my legs I braced myself for the onslaught.

This time Juliet took her time warming me up. She knew the only way to reach the epic intensity she had in mind was to do it incrementally so the skin didn't break too soon. There was always this chance with a thrashing so severe. Tim's tension could be felt when he became aware of how much lighter Juliet had started compared to the last time. I didn't make any effort to hold back my tears. I did make certain I relaxed inwardly as completely as possible as quickly as possible. My inner smile meditation withstood the onslaught for an hour.

Before I bent forward Juliet offered me some mineral water and looked at me closely. She'd sensed the collapse of my inner composure but didn't say anything. I took some deep breaths, thanked her for the water, bent forward and sought out my Lady. When you cannot smile you must sing she advised. I will sing with you but you must sing inside she insisted. This is a song sung by the Roman legionnaires on their way to a battle and during a battle she explained. You sang it from before the battle to after the battle and didn't stop until the dying finished. Sometimes that took all night. There was no teasing only a solemnity as she sang with me.

Juliet had waited as long as she dared but to wait longer would allow my ass to cool down to much. Inside we'd just gotten to the second verse when the spanking resumed. The guttural tones and heaviness of the words brought a solidity and strength to my body. I won't say I breezed through the spanking. The pain was epic. Twice I faltered but managed to fight my way back to the words. My body was shaking violently beneath the blows. Calmly I admitted to myself if it weren't for the singing I'd be going into shock right about now. The roiling clouds of that energy were easy to feel.

“Tracy we need your medicine quick.” I heard Dylan shouting as I remained bent over. “Tim not Dad. Keep your focus on Tim.”

The Roman song had made me feel connected to those soldiers who had conquered the entire known world. I imagined their pride at marching together under the banners of Rome. The victories piling up one after another as country after country fell. These men had weathered everything the world could throw at them and remained standing. No mere tawes was going to bring me to my knees I decided and I stood upright.

“You were finished weren't you, Juliet?” I asked. “I can always bend over again.”

“No, Rohan, there's no need to bend over again.” Juliet said kissing me fully on the lips. “Lao and Adam will be happy to know you didn't embarrass them too much.”

“Rohan should drink this not me.” Tim said thrusting the bottle my way with a shaking hand.

“Thank you, Beloved.” I said draining the last quarter of the bottle. “Good here's Tracy with some more. Thank you Tracy. Have you had enough Tim? I'd like to get that blessing done. As everybody can see I am more than ready.”

Dylan helped me into my robe. He took the bottle from me and took a swig before handing it to Juliet. The fact that everybody was drinking made me glad I couldn't see my ass. I took Tim's hands in mine and gazed deeply into his eyes. We stood like this for several minutes as I let myself sink deeper into him. Breathing and feeling through him I waited for my love of him to fill me. Each breath teasing it awake just a little more.

“Ready Beloved?” I asked. “You were brave beyond belief. I'm bursting with pride but I'd rather be experiencing another form of bursting.”

“Then let's go bless this chapel.” Tim said calmly. “Juliet's arm will need some rest before she can prepare you for another chapel blessing with me.”

Elaine was waiting on the deck with her massage table. Tracy and Tim both promised to bring me straight back for my massage and smoothie. I handed Tim a lounger cushion and grabbed a second for myself. Reluctantly I let go of the marching song even though I knew it was time to switch to a love song. I led Tim down to the foot of the steps leading up to the altar. He followed my lead and placed his cushion on the ground. Then we shrugged off our robes.

Holding him in my arms I kissed him and continued to let my love for him well up inside of me. Keeping him within my arms made it easier for him to feel the love. The gooseflesh on his arms and chest told me he could sense it. Setting my intention as firmly as I could with as much desire as I could muster I let go of any thoughts about how this would end. Drawing Tim down on the cushions I focused on the physical expression of our love.

Rolling him on his back I pressed his legs against his chest. Folded in half he let me move into position and mount him without any foreplay apart from our kissing. Once inside him I leaned as close as possible to him. Pinning him beneath me I lay perfectly still apart from the back and forth motion of my hips. Questing for his heart center with my imagination I let the connection arise spontaneously as a feeling within me. His love for me flowed into me and on the backflow it carried with it my love for him. Flowing in at our hearts it completed the circuit where I had entered him physically. Inexorably this wave of emotion pushed my cum before it in one long physical and emotional spending. I finally got to experience the supreme state of puddle-licious as I collapsed limply on top of Tim.

Several moments later Tim shifted us into a more comfortable puddle. Tracy will have to find us I can't stand to save my life now I told him. When we finally heard the chapel door open slowly Tim called out to Tracy for some medicine. I quickly pulled a robe over us before Tracy reached us.

“Tracy this puddle-licious is a grand feeling.” I said with a dreamy expression on my face. “Let the scurvy knave beneath me have the first dose. I'll just admire the beautiful nun standing above me. Yes it might be silly but it's true nonetheless. Sit up with me, my Love, so I don't leave you exposed. Lovely lad this one, Tracy. I think I ought to marry him before he gets away.”

“You already have.” Tracy said with a smile.

“I have? Splendid. Then he won't escape my grasp anytime soon.” I said taking a long pull on the bottle. “One of my best decisions ever marrying this beautiful Brit.”

“Yes, it is.” Tracy said. “As good as your decision to adopt your sons. Now take my hands and let me pull you up. Time for your medicine, massage and lunch in that order.”

“Hold my robe in place, Beloved. I haven't got a free hand.” I instructed Tim.

Tracy laughed as Tim dropped the robe when I stood because he couldn't reach and wasn't able to stand unaided. She agreed I'd tried to be modest but couldn't imagine why I'd bothered. No idea myself I confessed. Something must have addled my brain. Tim got Tracy to agree nothing addled one's brain like being completely immersed in love. I heard Tracy gasp when I turned to help Tim up and presented my butt toward her.

“Sorry, Tracy. I keep forgetting.” I said as I donned my robe. “No it doesn't hurt much yet. Elaine will fix it and this Brit I've bagged can kiss it better later.”

Tim told us he was more likely to fall asleep on the job because of his state of supreme puddle-liciousness. Elaine seized the moment without question when I approached the massage table in my bedroom and asked for my medicine. While I drank my smoothie Tim explained Tracy had insisted on medicine, massage and lunch in that order. Lao had left her with a salve to use instead of the cream. This would ease the pain more he had explained. On Monday I could go back to using the cream.

Juliet surprised me by coming in to check on me. She'd been waiting in the games room lounge with Dylan. He had got her to play billiards by declaring any game that involved spanking balls while holding wood in your hand had to be fun. I explained my naughty side was hereditary and came from Dylan. Tim decided Juliet didn't seem convinced I was that much of an angel before I adopted Dylan. The truth sometimes takes a while to settle in I told Tim just before I winced as Elaine pressed down on my butt.

“Sorry, Rohan, we need to get the chi flowing through the bruised flesh.” Elaine said.

“That's okay I cried like a baby so I'm beyond being embarrassed.” I said. “So tell me, Juliet, was that one of your most epic spankings?”

“No, Rohan, it wasn't one of my epic spankings it was the most epic of spankings.” Juliet said. “I agree with Tim that never mind crying like a baby it's a miracle you held your position and let it go on for so long. Rohan you can always ask me to stop.”

“I guess with all the fun I was having that bit of knowledge kind of slipped my mind.” I said. “Dylan it's hard for an old geezer like me to remember these things.”

“Hogwash, Dad. You remembered just fine.” Dylan said. “You just couldn't resist the challenge of outlasting Juliet. Your housekeeper may flay me alive for this but it was a rare treat to watch such an epic spanking.”

“Why am I flaying you alive?” my housekeeper said. “Oh, I see it's you because somebody obviously already started on Rohan. So you just forgot to ask to stop did you? I think you would have come up with a better excuse.”

“Well I would have if that beautiful Brit hadn't kept me so distracted.” I said. “He found a better use of my time than trying to come up with excuses that wouldn't have worked anyway. Morgan speaking only for myself I am grateful to have experienced puddle-licious.”

“You're welcome, Rohan.” Morgan said giving me a high-five and leaning in with Adam to admire the results of his thank you.

My housekeeper brought her tirade to a halt when Adam walked over and hugged Juliet. Then he kissed Juliet soundly and thanked her for making the spanking worthy of the surprise. Juliet made him promise not to give me the opportunity to surprise him like this again anytime soon. Adam agreed her arm would need some time to recover. When I asked about my butt Tracy told me I had a beautiful Brit to kiss it better. Juliet has to rely only on good old-fashioned rest Tracy explained

“Now is not the time to kiss it better, Tim.” my housekeeper said when Tim started to get up. Morgan sat himself in Tim's lap. “Rohan we are here to fetch you for lunch when Elaine finishes with you. I have no idea how you do it but you seem to have taken such an epic spanking you have done this house proud. That butt of yours is a very impressive sight. I can't stay mad at you. You showed me the folly of that with Patricia earlier. Thank you for helping her. We have the old Patricia back. You'll find out what that means soon enough.”

“Well I've done what I can for now.” Elaine said smacking me lightly on the butt. “I'll give you another massage just before bed like I did last night. Then I will leave the beautiful Brit to kiss it better. The walk to the cabin and back will do you good. We can leave the massage table right here for now.”

“Put these on.” my housekeeper said handing me some lightweight cotton pants and a cotton shirt. “Dylan it looks like he needs a hand. Must be the lingering puddle-licious after-effects. Try to keep it just to dressing him please. I'm very hungry.”

Dylan grinned and came over to help me get dressed. Elaine took a swig of medicine while they waited for me. No matter what the wise folk said about pride going before a fall I felt proud of what I'd endured. My Lady within told me a little pride was good for one. There's so much to learn and remember I told her and agreed it had been a lot of fun so far. The old Patricia had no qualms taking hold of my face in her hands and giving me a very, very long kiss.

“That's reassuring.” Tim said reaching in to squeeze my cock. “My Love if that kiss hadn't got your aroused I'd have handed you on to Lao. That kiss would have aroused a gay corpse.”

The others laughed and took turns thanking me for arranging this surprise. Chili dogs, salads and fries were on the menu for lunch. Tammy arrived and immediately scolded Richard and Lawrence for giving her the day off. They were way too sweet she declared. Patricia agreed. They already overpaid her without her getting more time off to come hang-out with all these wonderful people she continued. Once again Patricia agreed. Then to really rub it in they weren't going to deduct this day off from her pay she concluded leaning in to kiss them. Patricia told Tammy she had expressed it perfectly, handed her a bottle and gave her a thank you kiss for the fine scolding.

“And don't think you're safe Mister.” Tammy said looking over at me. “You are even worse than these two and that takes some doing. I'd never have believed it if I hadn't experienced it for myself. Then to make things worse you let somebody else give you a truly epic thrashing so I cannot thank you properly. You are just lucky it was from Adam and for such a good reason.

I heard about the breakfast yesterday morning at some ridiculously early hour. Don't you know the only reason for being out of bed at sunrise on your honeymoon is for outdoor sex? Leslie you better explain things to this old geezer. I can't believe you left him to his own devices on his honeymoon. Abby could have shared her Trevor schedule with him.

All of this and I haven't even gotten around to thanking the two of you for insisting Clifton join in the chapel blessing. The kid's been practicing his mantra non-stop since you told him. Don't blame the mantra for the smile either because he was grinning like a fool before he started saying it out loud. Last night I had to give him some hot chocolate with a shot of brandy so he would sleep. Daizan it will take me a while to learn the mantra can keep him going without rest so I will keep on dosing him with brandy.

Juliet I hear you thrashed Rohan in the playroom so I assume Rohan's played with Tim in it. Two of you miscreants need to volunteer so Juliet can show me how to go about thrashing those two...two..”

“Rapscallions.” Morgan supplied with a grin.

“Thanks Morgan. Those two rapscallions on their next visit. Which better be soon.” Tammy said. “I guess I will have to settle for kissing both of you now.”

“Adam don't you think she was watching Patricia thank Dad?” Dylan as they watched Tammy give the two of us a longer kiss than Patricia had given me.

“Dylan and Adam will be your test subjects Tammy.” Morgan said when she finally got off my lap. “They can take a harder thrashing than me. Tammy you will need to get in a lot of practice. They can take a lot more than me.”

“Morgan is right Tammy.” J said. “I know you have never spanked anybody close to as hard as you will spank these two. Don't worry these two will be happy to let you practice on them as often as you need. Tim and Rohan will be happy to deal with the fallout.”

“We get very, very aroused.” Dylan admitted calmly. “We'll do a practice run tonight after dinner. Morgan is keeping Adam busy until the blessing so how about you and Tim take me for a ride on our four-wheelers Dad? Unless there is something else you have to do or somebody needs from you.”

“We'd be grateful if you kept the two newlyweds out from under our feet.” Sophie said kissing the top of Dylan's head.

“Let's get going. I'd like to return before the garden furniture arrives.” I said getting up.

The two of them received a blowjob in the garage because this was such a good idea. I let them know I was saving my load for a little later. Dylan gave me a knowing look but remained silent. I swatted their butts while they were pulling up their pants. Then we were on our way to the drops. When Tim did his mock swoon I revived him with some tickling. Dylan kissed him while I tickled him. Who knew first aid could be so much fun Dylan said as we started back to the love nest.

My contractor hadn't arrived which allowed us to wash the bikes. Bram had built a garage for me so we had space to park two of the bikes and the rental car. My housekeeper was unloading cleaning supplies for the chapel from the car so we gave her a hand carrying stuff to the chapel. The ladies were in the kitchen preparing the rest of our dinner. Bram would use my four-wheeler to bring up the meat later. Everybody wanted to see the stained glass windows but had waited for me to give the okay. They didn't want to interfere with the blessing. Laden with cleaning supplies we headed over to the chapel.

Everybody was very impressed. Lawrence told me he had sent pictures of the windows to the stained glass artisans. I slipped away to my chapel office and was happy to see there were a couple of thick blankets in the closet. The cushions on the chairs would double nicely as pillows. J spotted the approaching truck on our way back to the house so everybody waited to greet our guests. Elaine got kissed when she let me know Lindsey would be getting a lift over with Stephen and his wife.

“I'm Francis. This is my wife Phyllis and my daughter Marianne.” my contractor said. “Sanne we got the flowers and soil as well. I thought it best to get it all now while we had all the extra hands to help with the gardening.”

“You mean it will be all set up today?” I asked in delight. “What are the paving stones for?”

“Rohan it will be ready in less than an hour.” Sanne said handing me a large bag of soil. “The paving stones will help keep your feet clean and dry when it rains or we have heavy dew. Get going there's plenty more to carry.”

My young gardeners took over the flowerbed project. The rest of us set up the seating area. We had everything ready in fifty-minutes. Bram smiled at my surprised expression. This is how we got things built so quickly Bram reminded me. Excluding the caterers there were over a hundred people here at times during the construction work he told me. The Order had chartered buses to bring people in. Francis told me it was definitely the most fun he had ever had on a job.

“We really are your gardeners?” Clifton asked tugging on my hand. “I don't need any money. You have helped me a bunch.”

“That help was a gift.” I said kneeling down. “This is work and if I pay the other people who work for me then it is only fair I pay you. One day you will go to college or want to build your own home and you will need money. I have plenty of money to spare and will make some more soon.”

“Can we...we uh I'm sorry I forgot the word Tammy taught me.” Clifton said.

“Compromise.” Tammy said from behind him.

“Can we compromise and let me clean the chapel without any extra pay?” Clifton asked. “I'd like to use the chapel for my chanting and Uncle Lao has promised to teach me to meditate. So I will be making it a little dirty. You shouldn't pay me to clean my mess.”

“Hans and I would like to help Clifton clean the church as a thank you.” Marikie added. “Rohan we get to spend lots more time with Mama and Papa now. We can't buy you anything to say thank you and if the three of us do it often then it won't take long. Your housekeeper is going to take us over there in a few minutes and show us how to do it properly. We'll set up a schedule so we only have to spend a few minutes at a time cleaning.”

“Okay we can compromise if you let me give the three of you a hug.” I said opening my arms.

Tim had to hug them as well before my housekeeper could lead them away. When I stood up Bert hugged me. He let me know he might give them a hand now and then as a thank you from him. The move to the country had been good for him. Lawrence had sought his advice on investing and mentioned Bert to some of his friends. Tammy told me they were making more money with fewer clients because the amounts invested were much larger. Dylan slipped an arm around me and told me he understood my comment about not knowing why things happen but to trust it can always work out for the best. He told Tammy I'd made this comment when Clifton had got hurt.

Tracy was looking at her notebook with a puzzled expression when they returned. She explained she wanted to type up her notes for the kids but didn't know how to insert directional arrows. I was happy to lend her Tim for thirty minutes if she joined me for a beer later tonight. Tracy let me know she would buy the round for us as she dragged Tim off to find a computer. Lawrence went along because he wanted some practice with some new animation software. I'd just greeted Leslie and Ivan when an excited Clifton told me I had to come watch them clean my chapel. Lawrence and Tim had created an animated movie of the three kids cleaning the chapel. Using pictures and video footage of the chapel they had created a 3-D image. The avatars had the kids faces. Hans told us Tracy did a good job of making notes for them.

The cooks told me they would be finished in an hour. Bram and J told me with Ivan's help they would have all the meat carved and in the oven to keep warm within an hour. Leslie, Juliet and Patricia promised to get everybody over to the chapel in exactly one hour. Placing Clifton on my shoulders I headed off to the chapel. I sat down with him on my lap just in front of the altar. Clifton listened as I explained how I'd blessed this place with Tim earlier. The sweet boy told me he'd learned a lot from Adam and Dylan so he understood most of what I shared. When I asked if he'd share his body with me like we had done in the apartment his whole face lit up. He even asked if we could add something new because this was a blessing night.

“You know how good it feels when I suck on your boner?” I asked. “Well it feels just as good when somebody sucks on mine. You don't have to take it all in your mouth for it to feel amazing. The big difference is I will shoot my stuff. Do you mind drinking it? Yes my sons have swallowed it lots of times.”

“Okay. I'll try if you tell me what to do.” Clifton said. “Where will we do it?”

I led him through to the office to undress and collect the blankets. I brought both blankets out because a softer warmer nest was always good. Walking behind him I couldn't take my eyes off his small butt and wondered how good it would be when I finally fucked him. When I did take him I wanted him to know a lot more about the dynamics and the gift he was giving me. This evening he was going to swallow his first load. The thought of my semen sliding down his throat was enough to get my cock to twitch.

Clifton giggled when I started by sinking my teeth into his ass. I took as much flesh into my mouth as possible with each bite. Fucking hell I had missed having such a small boy to gobble up. I promised myself to make certain I got to enjoy more ten-year old boys regularly. When I finished making a meal of his ass I rolled him over for his blowjob. My hand reached down between my legs to stroke my cock while I got him off. I sucked him through his orgasm but had to stop when his lovely cock became over sensitive.

What a wonderful sight he made lying between my legs with his mouth open around the head of my cock. Fuck it was so hot verbally instructing the youth in the art of cock-sucking. Clifton learned how to give me my ideal blowjob. Every lick, every suck and even where to press inside my ass. He got far enough past the head of my cock to make it look a fucking amazing sight. I'd stroked myself while blowing him so he could get me off before his jaw got tired. Clifton was stroking my shaft with his free hand when I warned him I was about to cum. Drawing the head of my cock towards the front of his mouth I gave myself as much space as possible to fill. Then my hips were bucking and I was telling him how much pleasure he was giving me. Damn it was an impressive load he swallowed even if I say so myself.

We smiled at each other when I had taken my cock from his mouth. I told him he had done great. Clifton's smile grew bigger. He still had his hand on my shaft. Glancing over at my watch on the pew I smiled and told Clifton if we weren't quick everybody would find us lying here naked. He giggled but agreed it would be best if we got dressed. This time he followed me to the office. While we dressed he asked why my butt was so red. Tim will explain it when he has that chat about spankings with you I answered as I hurriedly pulled on my official vestments.

The others started entering the chapel just a few minutes after Clifton and me began chanting. We were kneeling on cushions and holding hands in front of the altar. Daizan and Mu walked past us to place some candles on either side of the vase. They hadn't needed to ask me. Lao led my sons up to the dais and they set a statue of the laughing Buddha at the base of the altar. I smiled up at them. After several minutes of silently listening Daizan joined in the chanting. Leif and Petersen soon added their voices which became the signal for the others to join in.

They stopped when my Lady began to sing part of a Gregorian chant. She had chosen just a couple of verses from a long chant so Clifton could join in. I had turned towards him on my cushion and sang the words slowly in his direction. Clifton listened closely as I repeated myself three times. When I nodded he tentatively joined in. His natural affinity for words gave him the confidence to raise his voice with me. When we came to a break I silently mouthed “chant” and he made the switch without missing a beat. Tracy saw my hand motion and slipped away to get us each a glass of water from the office.

Silence settled in the chapel for a few minutes while we took a drink of water. My Lady sang a hymn on her own so Clifton could get more of a rest. This time before Clifton could start the healing chant I held my hand up to stop him. Now it was time for the heart mantra.

“Tadyatha om gate gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svahah” I chanted softly at first. Slowly I increased the volume.

Nobody found more joy in learning a new mantra than Clifton. Giving him a mantra to repeat brought him as much joy as giving a million dollars to a pauper. The others joined in surprisingly quickly. Later I would learn Daizan had got Tim to print it out for each guest and had taken them through it before they entered the chapel. When we had chanted for several minutes I brought the chanting to a close and motioned Daizan over to me. I whispered my request to him. Daizan smiled, told me it would cost me five kisses for both him and Mu and stood on the dais to share the story of the heart sutra with our guests.

When he had taken his seat I stood up. Holding Clifton by the hand I began to sing a Gregorian chant while motioning the others to make their way from the chapel. The pews emptied from the back towards the front. I led Clifton out last. He solemnly closed the chapel doors on his own. The lovely lad laughed delightedly when I threw him gently from the top of the stairs into Juliet's arms. He got passed around and smothered in kisses.

“Yes, I am glad I'm too big to toss around like that.” I confessed to Tim when he slipped up next to me.

“Well since I can't toss you around I'll have to kiss you here.” Tim said and he did just that. A long kiss that got everybody's attention focused on us.

The gang had to applaud us when the kiss ended. I blushed which caused more than a few of them to laugh. Then the game of pass Clifton around resumed as we made our way back to the house for dinner. I made certain to thank Lao, Daizan and Mu for the wonderful stained glass. Tim got them to laugh when he shared my reaction.

“Dad before we dish up can you give us some gravy lessons?” Adam asked with Morgan in tow.

“Oh, bless you boys.” I said. “That just what I need.”

“Don't the two of you move until I've given you each a special kiss.” Tim said. “Giving a Brit good gravy is like giving Clifton a mantra.”

When the boys had been properly thanked I headed to the stove with them. Dylan was already waiting for us. I decided to let Adam and Morgan prepare the beef gravy. Dylan would prepare the pork gravy. I would take care of the chicken gravy. Patricia came over to listen in to my instructions. Leif had let her know I made better gravy than Petersen which was the greatest compliment in Patricia's book. A lot of the others gathered around to join in the lesson so I placed a piece of meat with the spices and herbs I'd use in the gravy on a plate. This got passed around so people could smell the meat and see what spices I paired with it.

Stephen and Tracy explained how we decided on how much of each spice to add. I had no qualms about groping the chefs. Tim explained this kept the chefs happy and happy chefs prepared better food. When Clifton said he couldn't see Bram sat him on my shoulders. Lawrence asked him to take some pictures from his new vantage point. This was Lindsey's cue to let us know she had gotten lots of compliments at college on our nude pictures. Tim chalked it up to Lawrence's skills as a photographer and the soft lighting. Lindsey swatted him. I smiled and kept cooking. Tim kept leaning over a pot to inhale the aroma.

“Looks like you made the chefs very happy, Scoundrel.” Tim said. “Are you almost done?”

'Yes, we're done.” I said when the boys told me it felt like the right time to stop.

Tim volunteered to taste the gravies. This led to another round of kisses. I smiled and stepped away from the crowd. While the others dished up I enjoyed a brandy and soda. Bram joined me for a drink. Ivan assured everybody there was more meat down at the cabin. Even with my new purchases they had needed to bring plates from the cabin. My new folding table came in useful. People were happy to settle on the floor to eat when we ran out of chairs. Clifton stayed close to me throughout dinner. Leslie was as grateful as Tim for the gravy and thanked the boys with a kiss. She chatted excitedly with Tim about the gravy and some of the better gravies she'd enjoyed in England. I dipped fresh-baked bread into my gravy and broke off chunks of it for Clifton. Soon his face was covered in gravy. Tammy agreed Lawrence had to get a picture of him with his gravy face.

Petersen and Patricia had prepared desserts at the orphanage. We had trifle, chocolate mousse and apple pie to enjoy. People played billiards and darts while enjoying their dessert. I told Leslie this had been a wonderful week despite having so many people over. Tim reminded her he was taking me away for an extended weekend next week. Tracy let us know she had reserved the rooms from Friday through Tuesday but the rooms were available for another two nights if we wanted. Tim didn't hesitate to say we wanted. He explained we needed them because Leslie had some assignments for us.

“No, I don't mind being away for an entire week with you, Beloved.” I said when Tim asked why I had suddenly gone quiet. “I'm just thinking about how lucky I am to enjoy an entire week alone with you.”

“Make certain it stays just the two of you.” Dylan said. “Dad all the people around you this week have been here for a very good reason. Giving Adam and Morgan this time together was brilliant. Even us kids know you need some exclusive time with Tim. There are too many distractions here. So I'm glad you are getting away.”

“That's easy for you to say you don't have to go a week without spending any money.” I said. “This rapscallion is insisting on paying for everything. He'll spend his life savings on this trip if I'm not careful.”

“Then save this land purchase for your week away.” Sanne said. “Rohan you wanted to talk about our challenge in Poland. Wincenty put out the word for me to see if we could find a similar size plot to match the existing garden. We took into account the amount of water available, rainfall, wind and other weather patterns. The slope of the land is almost identical. Bram tells me if he built the catapult it would be just a stone throw away. Our gardens will face each other across the valley.”

“Yes you remember correctly the same family owns the entire valley.” Ivan said. “They don't need to sell more land to pay for medical expenses. This time they are selling it to you as a thank you gesture. I think they would love to help adjudicate the wager. You can chat to them about it when you take the boys around to visit.”

“Tim if I give myself to you for an entire night will you let me spend some time getting this set up on our week away?” I begged.

“One entire night where you grant me complete control plus you let me work with you on this challenge.” Tim haggled. “Sanne my money is on you when it comes to gardening but this old coot will get as close to anybody at beating you so there will be a lot to learn in this defeat.”

“After seeing Rohan's garden in the city I would not be surprised if he won this bet.” Sanne said. “Regardless of who wins we will all learn from each other. I will prepare a list of the equipment and how many hours of work per week is going into the garden. Rohan we will start the bet after we have harvested this crop. That way you have time to get your equipment and strategy worked out. We upgraded the soil so if you want to do the same that is only fair. I will let you know how much extra soil we brought in. Bram can you think of anything else to make this a fair challenge?”

“That pretty much covers it although there is a resident manager on our garden so Rohan may want to have one as well.” Bram added. “We will need to give them a maximum number of hours per week to work. They will both need a copy of the wager. I think five years is a good period to get a reliable average yield. This will be fun.”

“What are you planning on doing with all the food Dad?” Dylan asked.

“The local Order is about to go into the meat and vegetable business just like you guys and Ivan.” I said. “Why not duplicate the entire operation? We will set up our shop in Kraków so we don't trespass on Feliks' market. Even if there is enough to share I think it would be good if we spread our network out over a greater area but stayed close enough to help each other. Can you get me a list of the equipment at the meat shops and square footage?”

“I can if you agree to a five-year wager with the shop as well.” Ivan said. “We have a head start on you in terms of customers so I will let Bram suggest a percentage handicap to adjust the final figures.”

“A couple of things.” I said. “Beatka has to help both shops when it comes to exporting the products and trade incentives. I will invest the same amount of money as you did from here so we qualify for the same trade incentives and tax concessions. Although the Order will be in charge of the meat and animals I will find a regular family in Kraków to run the shop. We won't use the Order resources in any way otherwise I could sell meat to every chapter house in Europe.”

“That's fair.” Ivan said. “Now what is the wager?”

“Our wager is for a case of my favorite wine.” Sanne said.

“I'll wager a case of my favorite vodka.” Ivan said.

“Tracy in five years you will have to visit me to help me drink this wine and vodka.” I said. “We have two wagers going.”

Clifton and Hans had fallen asleep on top of each other in a corner by the time we finalized our wagers. The others still had to return to the hotel and Elaine wasn't letting me off my second massage. There was even an early morning planned for tomorrow. Leslie insisted on staying behind to see the result of Juliet's handiwork before she drove to the hotel. Lawrence promised he'd have her key waiting for her when they arrived. Lindsey decided to travel with Leslie because she could show them to their room.

Despite their protests Morgan and Adam were given Elaine's cottage for the night. Elaine insisted she would be just fine in the cabin with Amanda. Her bag for the weekend was already in the spare bedroom. The boys accepted her offer and promised to take her out on a milkshake date Sunday. Everybody pitched in to get things cleaned and squared away. Sophie ordered me to enjoy my beer with Tracy in the new garden seating area. When people left they stopped to say goodnight to us. Tracy insisted I stay out here with her until Elaine called me in. People were leaving in smaller groups to make it easier on the hotel staff when they checked in.

J, Sophie and Juliet stayed behind in case Leslie had any questions. Leslie went pale when she saw my butt. A few bruises were starting to form. Elaine's reassurances that the salve would stop them from getting too big didn't set Leslie's mind at ease. Elaine promised to pack her massage table for the weekend trip. Juliet would take over on the massages from Sunday. Leslie said she'd chat with Juliet on the way to the hotel. My housekeeper reminded me I had to come over to join them for breakfast at eight-thirty. Elaine let me know she'd have to give me my massage at six. While I got my massage my housekeeper and Tracy got our things ready for the return trip. They agreed with Elaine's plan to pour me straight into bed after my massage.

Tim tagged along with them to learn how they packed our things. Brother Murray couldn't have done it any better he told me when he returned. Having our stuff all packed wasn't enough for my housekeeper. She loaded the suitcases in the car. When we got up in the morning we would place the bed linens in a hamper, get dressed and carry our toiletry bags to the car. Naturally there was only one outfit for us each in the closet. I thanked my housekeeper for not insisting we spend the night in the car with our bags. Tracy warned me not to say such things if I wanted to sleep in a bed tonight. They left the moment I finished my smoothie.
