Love and compassion are necessities they are not glib luxuries. We need them to be human beings. They define us and make us who we are. Lacking them, we are mere flesh and bone; soulless and without any meaningful purpose. Once again, I had forgotten to close the blinds and the morning light woke me. After shaking off the usual confusion of sudden awakening, I relished the new experience of two little boy butts pressed against my thighs. They had at some time after my crawling into bed, both rolled over and snuggled against me. Their sleeping noises were so cute that I simply had to grin as I looked down upon them. I took a quick mental inventory. Today was Saturday so, no class with Doc Swaim. The party was Monday and while I had things to go over with Daniel, all of the real work would be handled by that very capable man. I wanted to have fun with the boys but also, Arlen wanted to have some time working on Sean's batting. It occurred to me that since Spider was going to be pitching, this practice might work out well for both of them. That would allow me more time to go over things with Ricky and Mandy and still leave lots of time to do something with the boys. I was really becoming fond of Brian. He was a gentle tender boy with a loving heart. I also truly believed he would be strong and supportive for his mother when his grandmother passed. Life placed such heavy burdens upon the shoulders of little boys sometimes. I was startled as I had that thought because, when life's biggest burden had been thrust upon me, I was a grown man and I'd handled it badly. Somehow, though, I fully believed that young Spider would handle it very well. I don't know what possessed me to do it but I reached out and slapped both naked wonderful little asses. The noise was fantastic and two young heads shot up with tussled hair and bleary eyes trying to figure out what had just happened. It was actually quite mean of me but they were so cute in their reaction that I felt it was worth it. Sean was rubbing his eyes as he grinned at me. "Mornin' Dad. That was quite rude don't ya think?" "Nope, I think that was actually very assertive and indicative that you guys need to get into the shower. Still fuzz-brained, they both hopped off the bed, moved into the bathroom and cross-streamed into the toilet while I set up the shower. The washing was sybaritic and fun. Spider's young body was a completely new experience. While he was almost as tall as Jack, he was still Sean's age and therefore didn't have the muscular development of a sixteen year old. His limbs were long and smooth. He certainly wasn't skinny. With his athleticism, that would be impossible but his musculature was that of a boy and his body was a boy's boy. Except for a pubic patch about as sparse as Sean's, he was hairless all over. Despite his superior height, his young cock was essentially the same size as Sean's and appropriate for his age. Much of his height seemed to come from his long sleek legs that flowed gracefully from his round young ass. `Gracefully' was a good description to apply to the boy because that's precisely how he comported himself. I was gratified to notice that after yesterday, some of the sadness seemed to have left him and he smiled and laughed during our antics in the shower We toweled off, dressed and headed down to breakfast. Ricky and Mandy joined us and, Mrs. Edwards smiled at Sean as she announced that breakfast today would be the newly invented `Baseball Waffle' and she explained what it was and how it should be eaten. "Oooh Martha! That sounds positively decadent." As our plates were served and everyone began digging in, I remarked that John's parents would be flying in tonight. They're returned to Philadelphia in order to begin the process of selling their home and their tavern. They'd accepted my condo offer with tearful gratitude and I was touched. I wanted them here for Memorial Day so that they could meet my few friends and my key staff (most of whom I considered friends). Spider was about four mouthfuls into his breakfast following Sean's lead of dipping and drizzling. His eyes were wide open and with syrup coated lips he exclaimed; "Mrs. Edwards! I've never tasted anything this great in my life!" Sean grinned and nudged him and with a giggle muttered; "Told ya Spider." Martha turned her usual beaming red as she rubbed both boys' heads. Arlen had set up a Lexus for Ricky and Many out on the car park because they wanted to do some exploring today and he was planning on working with Sean's batting out on the lawn. I'd mentioned to him last night that I hoped he could also utilize Spider since the tall boy was going to be pitching, perhaps he could work them both together. "I'll do my best Eric but truth be told, pitching isn't my thing. I was a first baseman and a right fielder...that said, I can probably give him a few important tips after all, he's what...12 or 13?" "While he's here Arlen, I just want to keep him involved and happy. He's got a big wall of sadness about to smack him in the face in the pretty near future so, if nothing else, let him pitch a bit and then work on his batting as well. ********************* I walked with the boys out to the big lawn and Arlen was waiting there with his own glove and several bats. I smiled at Arlen. "OK Maestro, I'll be back in a couple of hours. I'm certain by then that Sean will be a slugger and Jack will be ready to throw a no-hitter." Arlen looked at me with a startled expression. "But..." "Arlen, I'm just kidding. We're all three grateful for any help you can offer." He looked relieved and grinned. "Well, I can offer a lot of help it just won't be some instant fix." He tapped the boys on the shoulder. "Come on guys let's get to work." As they trotted off, I smiled and thought to myself that no matter how I'd treated him, Terry would never have been as special as this guy. He was a real asset. I walked back to the house and down to my study because I had three very important reports to look over. Shortly, there was a tapping on the door and I looked up to see Gary and Bobby both quite sweaty standing there. "We were out for a jog and I thought we'd drop by to tell you that we've decided to take your advice and Bobby is going to wait until he's 18 before entering the University. Turns out Bobby was afraid I was going to make him apply for early admission." The boy grinned. "You bet Mr. Tucker. I'm not even 16 yet and I'm only gonna be a kid once. I want to enjoy it." I smiled as I got up and walked to the wet bar and poured Gary and I a single malt with two ice cubes. I reached into the little fridge and extracted a `Blue Moon' lager for Bobby. I gave him an apologetic look. "Sorry Bobby, I don't have any Sam Adams in here. If you want to run down to the library, I'm sure there's a bottle or two there." He grinned and shook his handsome young head. "Nah. `Blue Moon' is just fine. Thank you." "I think you both made the right decision and when he gets back, I hope Jack makes a similar one. Doc has already mentioned that Jack could be accepted into the University right now, but I really want him to enjoy being a boy. Being grown-up is kind of forever you know? Sadly, I expect that Jack will be invited on more or these oceanography voyages and I can't in good conscious try to talk him out of participating in them. Have you told the Professor yet?" Gary smiled. "Actually, I was hoping to borrow one of your golf carts and ride out to the pond and tell him now." I looked at the boy. "Bobby, Sean and Spider are out on the big lawn doing batting practice." I reached into the drawer of the credenza and pulled out one of my old baseball gloves and tossed it to him. "Why don't you go out there and join them even if you just shag stray balls? Your Dad and I are going out to Fish Camp to beard the lion in his den." ************ As the three of us sat together in the cabin, Gary explained why Bobby was not going to try for early admission and I explained why I was going to encourage Jack not to do so either. Doc Swaim took a sip from his frosty drink...when we'd arrived at the cabin he'd quickly made a pitcher of margaritas. He smiled as he pushed his dark rimmed glasses up to the bridge of his nose and I noted the slight frosty foam at the tip of his magnificent mustache. "The both of you are acting as if you were expecting me to be angry at these decisions. I only presented the possibility because both young men are so bright and such wonderful students that I wanted you all to be aware that it was something that could be accomplished. I actually applaud your decisions because I also believe that youth should be savored for as long as possible...especially for these two boys who suffered a brief but cruel interruption in what should have been a time of wonderful curious innocence. By all means, let them continue to be boys and I shall cherish the time that's now extended to act as their mentor. I love those three boys and being their tutor is a personal joy. You certainly get no objection from me." Gary and I smiled at each other and Doc got up, retrieved the pitcher, and refilled our glasses. We chatted casually about the barbeque on Monday and other rather mundane things and we finally rose to leave. I felt his big hand on my shoulder. "Eric, you did a wonderful thing with Andy and, you did it masterfully with kindness and respect. Your Father could not have done it any better." I spun around to face him and suddenly my eyes were pooling with tears. A million thoughts were suddenly racing through my head as I knuckled my watery eyes. "I owe Andy more than I can ever repay. I'll do whatever it takes to keep him happy and safe...that's a fact." ******* We watched the activity out on the big lawn. Sean was batting and Arlen was pitching. Spider and Bobby were out back catching the balls. When they saw us, they stopped and trotted toward us. I turned to Gary. "Rather than walk or jog back home, why don't you take this cart? Go across the property and through the construction area and back to your house...you can bring it back on Monday and we'll get you home after the party." Gary grinned. "Works for us if it works for you friend." I squeezed his shoulder. "See you Monday guys." They drove off down the path leading to the north end of the estate. Spider approached me and I just instinctively drew him into a hug. "Did Arlen help you with anything?" "Oh yeah, Arlin is great and he's taught me how to throw a slider. How cool is that. I'll surprise them when the games begin. Mr. T, do you think you could get me home tonight? I know that my Mom wants to be with Granma but I think she might like to be with me a little bit too. Tomorrow maybe someone could bring me back here so my Mom can go back to be with Granma but I'd really like to see Mom tonight and tell her I love her and that I understand." I hugged him tighter and said; "Of course Brian. Does she know you'll be home tonight?" "I was gonna call her as soon as I knew it would be alright with you. I know this is putting you out a lot." "Don't think about that. Call your Mom and let me talk to her after you." After talking for about five minutes he handed me his phone and said; "It's Mom." "Hello Mrs. Williams. It would seem Brian needs a little Mom time. I'll get him home about eight o'clock after he's had dinner so that won't be something you need to worry about. We'll keep his clothes here and I'll have him picked up around nine thirty tomorrow morning so you can get back to your mother if all that is convenient." She was crying again as she expressed her appreciation and I once more assured her that it was no burden and no concern. The two boys and I walked down the hall to the pool. "After Tuesday when there are no guests here, we'll be able to use the outdoor pool for nude swimming. For now, we use the indoor pool. I can't wait for the sun to tan your lily white little butts." That comment earned me two wicked little boy grins as they quickly shed their clothes and raced to the diving board. I was slower to disrobe because I was too busy enjoying the scenery. Spider wasn't nearly as skilled in the water as Sean simply because Sean had been raised around a pool as a daily part of life while for Spider it was obviously a casual experience. He was a competent swimmer though and I had no trepidation as he horsed around with Sean. I dived in and very soon was roped into tossing them both up and into the water. That was quickly followed by me crouching low under the surface while a boy placed his feet on my shoulders and as I momentarily held his hands for balance, thrust up and the naked little cherub was propelled backward into the water. They both decided this was the most fun and actually so did I because it was physically less exerting than tossing them over my shoulder. Eventually, I called a halt and set them to doing two laps. Sean realized that Spider was not in his league in this particular sport and so he swam slowly alongside his friend and offered his encouragement. `That's Sean' I thought `Perhaps there's not a better person in the world.' After showering and dressing we went up to dinner. It was a surprise...something she hadn't ever made since Sean had come to Joyous Gaurde; manicotti; cheese stuffed tubes of pasta in a marinara sauce. She served it with a crisp salad of several green again with her own Italian dressing. I poured myself a glass of chianti. Chianti is a very nice peasant wine from Italy and there is no snobbery attached to it as there is with say; French wines but it is robust and very pleasant...perfect for the meal that had been served. This bottle was a moderately priced Ruffino Riserva Ducale and after one sip, I was happy with it. I noticed Spider eyeing the bottle. "Would you like some wine Brian?" He smiled. "Yes please Mr. Tucker." I poured him about three quarters of a glass. In jest I asked; "How about you Sean?" I was stunned when he replied; "Yes please Dad." I looked at him and he smiled softly. "I told you. I gotta learn to drink grown-up stuff." I smiled and placed a glass in front of him. "Take a sip and tell me what you think." He did and smiled. "This is very nice. I like it a lot. Thanks Dad." "Yeah, thanks Mr. T." And then they attacked their food with little boy gusto. ******* Arlen drove us in the limo and I got out and walked into the house with Spider. I spent about twenty minutes talking with his mother assuring her that her son was no burden on us and that she should just consider him safe and taken care of. He also assured her that he was happy staying with us but that every now and then he needed her. She was teary eyed as she hugged him tightly and assured him that she needed him as well. The fact that they loved each other deeply was the most obvious thing in the world. I made a mental note that when the sadness of Grandma passing was over, I'd find some way to help this family. "So, Brian, check around and make sure there's nothing else you need here and know that Arlen will be here to pick you up at 9:30 sharp. Your Mom has important things to do. You be here young man for her tonight just as I know you can. I'll see you tomorrow." He ran across the room and wrapped his arms around me. "You're the best man I know in this whole world. I wish you were my Dad." I kissed him on the top of his head and whispered; "Well, I can't be your Dad Brian, but I can be your friend and I can be there whenever you need me. You can believe that and you can rely on that." His eyes were moist as he smiled up at me. "Thanks Mr. T. I kind of love you." I kissed his hair again and whispered; "I kind of love you too Brian." ******* I knew he'd be in my room tonight and I knew what he wanted and I knew that I wanted it as well. He was standing by the window and the night light from the three quarter moon was actually surprisingly bright and he was waiting in his grey boxer shorts, his wonderful little ass pushed out as he leaned into the windowsill gazing at the property bathed in white moonlight. He didn't turn around as he spoke; "Do you think that you're gonna bring Spider here to live like full time?" I tried to gauge what he was getting at...was it curiosity or was it jealousy." "No Sean, Spider has a mother and a home. He's staying here temporarily because his grandmother is very ill...probably dying and I'm trying to make it easier for his Mom to be there for his Grandma as this inevitable event happens. After that, his Mom is going to need him a whole lot and therefore, he'll need your friendship a whole lot. Is that something you can provide? He turned and nodded his head. "Course I can. I just like having him here cause I think he's a cool guy. Prolly though, part of that is cause I'm missin' Jack." He looked at me and locked me into a serious gaze. "Tonight, we're gonna do the real thing Dad. I want it so bad an it's been a while. I'm not askin' I'm telling." He grinned and struck a pose with his right hip to the side like some underwear model. I laughed at the entire presentation and hugged him. "OK Little Man, after we shower and wash that little boy butt." ******** We'd kissed and hugged and fondled and finally I'd lubed his little hole. As I applied the lube to my raging hard-on I explained that tonight I was going to have him essential impale himself on my dick. I was on my back as I guided him over my torso with his legs splayed over my sides. My hands helped him rise up and position himself over my stone hard erection. "I'm going to help you do this slowly baby boy" I realized that my cock was at his little sphincter. "Push down honey bear just like I told you." Suddenly the tiny orifice became more compliant and the tip of my iron hard dick was through the ring. He grunted and moaned and I knew he was experiencing pain. I reached up and stroked his small torso and whispered encouraging words. This had gone too far to stop but I didn't want to hurt him. He took a deep breath and suddenly lowered himself down upon me and in less than an instant, I was completely inside him. I gasped and he grunted and then, we were smiling at each other. He leaned down and stroked my face as he smiled at me and then our dance began. Instinctively, he began raising and lowering himself and I in turn began thrusting up on the down stroke. Sean was soon moaning in pleasure and I was frightened that I wouldn't last very long. My fears were well founded and very soon I exploded into his wonderful ass. I pulled him down and kissed him frantically . "I couldn't never love anybody better than you Dad." I returned his kisses and pulled him into a tight body hug. ********* At breakfast I asked Sean; "How about we go pick up Spider in the XKE?" I was rewarded with a `Sean smile'. "That would be so cool an on the ride back, I'll sit in that little stupid back seat so Spider can really enjoy the ride." Sean hugged and kissed Martha and we were off. The green Jag was parked about midway down the garage. It was somewhat strange not having John there to provide encouragement but we hopped into the vintage roadster and took off. Spider's eyes were wide as he walked out of his house and saw us in our exotic automobile. "Holy crap! This is an XKE! How cool is that!" I got out of the car and asked Spider to introduce me to his mother. She was a lovely woman I'd guess about forty years old with dark brown hair and beautiful dark eyes. "Mr. Tucker, I can't thank you enough for this. Brian seems very happy with this arraignment and being free to stay with my mother is such a blessing...I just...I just can't tell you..." I touched her arm and said softly; "It's an easy thing to do Mrs. Williams and a pleasure besides. Brian is a wonderful boy. We'll probably do this several times when he needs his Mom and it's no inconvenience. You just do what you need to do." "You're a wonderful man Mr. Tucker." I squeezed here arm as I smiled. "I don't know about that but you're sure a wonderful mother Mrs. Williams." ******* "Can we hike up to the top of Hawkes Hill Dad? It don't have to be a sad place. Walter wouldn't want it to be sad. I'd love to show the cave to Spider." "Certainly Sean whose driving?" His smile was stunning. "I'm driving out there and when we're through, I think Spider should drive back." "I'm for that but, we have to be back in about two hours because I've got some stuff to do that's very important." The trail to the top had become very melancholy because it led to the place where Walter had given up his life defending Sean and Jack. Sean was more upbeat and he led us to the cave. I ducked my head as we entered and Sean was the perfect tour guide and I realized that to little boys, this was the perfect place in the world. After touring the cave, we hiked back down and climbed onto the Red Kitty. Sean turned around and said; "Guys, there's something I dropped along the trail so scuze me while I go find it." After he'd headed up the pathway, Brian turned around and looked at me. "Mr. T...uhhm Eric...I wanted to know if you would uhmmm...do stuff with me.
