Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2015 10:46:42 -0400 From: Eff Del Subject: Green Grow the Rushes O- Chapter 15 *Green Grow the Rushes O- Chapter 15* *By Eff Del* Nolitimere156@gmail.com *"What is life? It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a deer rushing through the woods in the fall. It is the little shadow which runs across the grass and is then lost as the sun sets.* *When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice.* *That would be a life well lived.* *What could possibly be better than that?" * I was really feeling cranky. I wasn't allowed any breakfast and now I was lying in this cold room, totally naked as they slowly ran me through the MRI machine. It was an older MRI and therefore, it was very restrictive and claustrophobic. I hated every second of it and staying still was very difficult for me. I knew though that if I moved and screwed up the body scan, I'd just have to do it again so I tried my very best to be still. I kept my eyes closed and sang Beatles songs silently in my mind. Abruptly it ended and Joseph walked into the room smiling and said; "Get dressed sir and we'll meet with you in about an hour." "Thanks Joseph. It's actually freezing in here." My clothes were on a table in the corner of the room and I gratefully dressed in boxer briefs, sweat pants and tee shirt. "By the way, Mrs. Edwards is sending up a late breakfast for you." "You're the man Joseph!" I'd barely returned to my room before Daniel entered with a cart. I thought to myself that he was so damned efficient. I sat down at the table in the corner of the room and he smiled as he placed a covered dish before me. He also placed a pot of coffee on the table and a glass of tomato juice. I raised the cover off my plate and smiled because there before me were three pancakes with a fried egg on top of the stack. I quickly punctured the yolk of the egg and as I suspected it would, the yellow goodness flowed out and over the cakes. Drizzling the syrup on top of the stack, I nipped off a bite with my fork. It was glorious and I smiled deeply as I methodically destroyed Martha's wonderful culinary creation. As I was enjoying my last cup of coffee, there was a knock on the door and Gary entered with a smile. "Boy you don't know how many people are pissed off at you Eric." "Oh, I'm beginning to get a pretty good idea about that. It was a stupid thing to do. I should have driven right back to the estate behind Arlen and the boys but I was just so distracted. What's really crazy is that I knew they'd located Jack's life raft so I should have been tranquil and serine. I can't explain it. Richard doesn't want me to drive myself around anymore but I'll fight him on that and he knows it." "Sorry I couldn't bring you up a sip of single malt but these four guys watching over you are like pit bulls. One of them stopped me at the elevator and my two flasks will be waiting for me when I leave." "It's ok Gary because they think they're going to cut me loose today and if they do, meet me in the library for happy hour. You and Scooter will have dinner with us tonight of course." "Sounds great Eric but now, I've got to ask you what we can get Sean for his birthday. We're at a loss." I smiled thinking about the gift I'd already purchased for my little boy and then replied; "You could get him a couple of pilot's shirts...with the two breast pockets and the epaulets on the shoulders. Trust me when I tell you that he'll appreciate them. Struthers will have them or be able to get them for you and Jacob will help you with your choice." "Thanks. That's a great idea. I hope that I'll see you this evening. It's pretty great that you're still alive Eric none of us want a repeat of this. You're too important to a lot of people so Richard may be right." About thirty minutes later, my four `guardian angels' entered the room. They were typically stone faced but I was encouraged as Joseph smiled and spoke; "We have good news. Your scan is perfectly clear and all of our tests are negative so we can see no reason to keep you confined in this infirmary. You are free from your IV though we want you to take one of these pills each morning for the next thirty days. We do want you here every morning after breakfast to test your vitals again for the next thirty days and we want you to restrict your activities to moderation. So, except for your morning check-up, you're free to go." I was beaming and impulsively I rushed forward and hugged each of them...an action that I'm certain astonished them all. "Guys, you are the best. Give me a couple of days to get caught up with my life and then, I want you to be my guests for dinner. You have no idea how much I appreciate you." ************** I took the elevator up to Jack's floor and was surprised to find that Richard was there and the two of them were talking in an animated fashion. They both smiled broadly, as I entered the room. "Have you been granted your freedom Boss?" Richard asked. I posed dramatically as I exclaimed; "Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty, I'm free at last." I hugged my red headed wonder and kissed his fore head. "How about you Sinbad the sailor? When are they going to cut you lose?" "Today I think. They just want to do a few more tests." His smile was heartwarming. "Well then hopefully we'll see you at dinner. Richard you are invited as well. I want it to be a big party tonight." As I was leaving, Richard caught up with me. "Eric, I hope you don't mind that I've been visiting with Jack. You see, I had a kid brother; Jamie...he died of leukemia when he was fifteen. Except for his hair color, Jack reminds me so much of him and Jack and me have sort of hit it off from the very beginning. I love that boy and when I thought we'd lost him it took everything I had to keep from breaking down. When you came in the room we were talking about him boxing again. He's a real gamer that boy. You should be proud...I'm certainly proud of him." I smiled. "Richard, the bond between you and Jack was obvious from the very beginning and your influence has been nothing but positive and good. Here at Joyous Gaurde, we are a strange but intimate family and you are an integral part of it. There is very little that you could do that would be improper. All I require is that you continue to do your very difficult job well. Would you please inform Barry, Phil, Chris and Wolfman that they're expected at dinner tonight?" He smiled. "Will do Boss." We went in opposite directions after leaving the elevator. ************* "Martha, are you prepared to cook for an army tonight?" She turned from the counter and rushed over to hug me. "Oh Eric, I'm still so mad at you being so foolish as to drive when your mind was so besotted. However, you're alive and I'm thankful for that and the Lord teaches us that forgiveness is divine." "Martha, I knew you'd forgiven me when I looked at the first breakfast you sent up to me. Now, seriously, I need a big dinner tonight. I want to do one huge group apology and then move on from this. Also, Jack may be cut free from his medical attention so the meal will be even more special; two Lazarus' rose from the dead." "How about pork roast with braised potatoes, candied carrots and sauerkraut?" She said. Her clever mind was always working. "Sounds great Martha." "Then I'll have Arlen drive me into town" "You know that John is back don't you?" "Certainly but Arlen has become our household `go to' guy. I just love him and besides, John is still a newlywed and I like to give him all the time I can with Jenny. I'm hoping she will accept the job as my assistant." I didn't usually do it but today, I walked into the classroom. Sean, Bobby and Brian were involved in something and they didn't notice me. Neither did Doc Swaim because he was intensely peering over Sean and Brian's shoulders. "Dad!" Sean had looked up and noticed me. Doc Swaim smiled as I walked into the room. "I'm sorry to interrupt your learning but I wanted you all to know that we're having a formal dinner in the big room and you're all expected to be there." Sean came up and hugged me. "So that means that you are all right?" "You bet Tiger cub." He reached up and kissed me. "I'm so happy Dad." I felt a tug at my arm and looked over and it was Brian. "Don't I get a kiss? I've sure been worried about you but they wouldn't let me come up and see you." I stroked his cheek and bent down and kissed him. "I'm sure looking forward to you guys' first game Brian. I understand that you'll be pitching and that's exciting." "Thanks Mr. T you're so special I'm really happy that you're all right." "OK but back to school I'll see you later." I smiled at Doc Swaim and left. I walked into the command room and found Wolfman at the com. "How are things going?" I asked. "Wonderful and happily tranquil Boss." His toothy smile was infectious. "You're coming down for dinner so whose got the Com?" "Brutus. He's an up and coming Skuga that you might want to keep your eye on. I personally think very highly of him." As I was walking past the wild flower garden, a beaming Jack came running up to me. He threw himself against me in a big hug and I spun around as I enjoyed the contact. "So they cut you lose too eh?" With a huge grin, he answered; "Yep, guess I'm not going to drown in a shipwreck." He looked up into my eyes and said; "It's a long time before dinner. Could we maybe go up to your bedroom and...you know...do some stuff." I didn't even think about it. "Sure sailor boy. I'd love that. I haven't enjoyed your young body in a long time." He smiled and leaned into me in a gentle hug and we walked down the pathway and into the house. As we entered my bedroom, he looked at me seriously. "Dad I never thought we'd ever do this again. I thought that I'd be dead and lost. I was so sad all that time out there." "But Jack, you're here now. You're safe and you're home. Forget those bad thoughts and enjoy your life. Why don't you lose those britches big boy so I can love you?" He grinned and performed a `Jack fancy strip' for me. By the time he was naked, I was hard as steel. I was still wearing my `hospital gear' and it was easy to shed. I moved him onto the bed and as I laid him down, I began to kiss him almost frantically on the lips. Shortly his mouth opened and our tongues began a dancing duel of pure pleasure. I moved my lips down his body working first upon his rock hard nipples and then concentrating on his navel before I came to his rampant dick. I subtlety licked the helmet of his boner and then whispered; "I'm going to fuck you first Jack and then I'll suck you off." He nodded his head in wordless consent. I reached for the tube of lube and greased up my dick I then applied the lubricant generously to his tight pucker. My fingers entered him gently smearing the emollient around his tight little ring. I raised his legs up and placed them over my shoulders. I was perfectly positioned and I penetrated him in one smooth stroke. He gasped initially but soon broke out into a smile as I moved slowly but smoothly inside his sweet young tube. The rhythm was slow and steady as we lovingly moved against each other; me driving in and him pushing out. It was a highly erotic dance and it seemed to last forever but finally, I felt the pressure deep in my core and I exploded into Jack's hot ass. He collapsed onto the mattress gasping. I decided not to give him any rest and I spread his legs and plunged down upon his rampant young cock. I wrapped my lips around his shaft and quickly began a slow descent until I reached his pubic hairs. I then reversed direction and began a slow rhythmic assault on the boy's young cock designed to bring him to climax quickly. His exclamation as he climaxed was deafening so I decided I'd done a good job. "So my well fucked and sucked boy how about a shower and then a nap?" "I think a nap and then a shower sounds better Dad." "OK, scoot over then." He nuzzled up against me and we embraced. After a bit of wiggling, he placed his head on my shoulder and fell into a sound sleep. I was content and soon followed him into dreamland. We woke up almost simultaneously and walked into the bathroom. We crossed our streams over the toilet and then entered the steaming shower. We were unabashedly sensuous as we washed each other's body. The process was slow and decidedly erotic. We each had raging boners when the process was done. "Sadly, we'll take care of these later Popeye. We've got to get dressed for our dinner." He was looking down at his raging hard dick. "Geeze Dad that seems like torture." "Oh I think you'll survive Sinbad." "I don't know Dad. It sure hurts a lot." He was grinning like a red haired devil and I smiled back at him as I quickly changed my mind. "Actually you're right Jack. That looks painful. Better lie down on the floor and let me see if I can fix that for you." With a big smile, he dropped to the bathroom floor and spread his legs. I lowered down to my knees and bent low to his crotch and for a second timed I sucked him to an energetic orgasm. He giggled as he worked the bath towel over his legs and then left to go to his room to get dressed. I sighed as I thought about his glorious young body and the fact that I'd come so close to losing him. I once again considered that Sean and Jack were the most important things in my life and that without them I would probably be a depraved alcoholic or dead. I walked into the dining room and smiled at the people gathered there. Chris, Barry, Richard, Uncle Phil and Wolfman. Also John and Jenny and John's parents. Doc Swaim and Andy and of course Gary and Bobby. After everyone was seated, I rose and addressed them all; "You are all people that I love like family and I want to apologize for my foolish action. I should have known that I wasn't in a proper state of mind to be driving. By divine grace, I survived but I want to apologize for my stupidity and I promise that it will not happen again. I'm grateful for your care and concern and I'm mortified at my personal behavior. I'd also like to acknowledge gratefully that our Jack has survived the sad disaster at sea and is safely with us right now. You are all treasures in my life and I value you one and all." As I sat down there was a round of applause. Martha's pork roast dinner was outrageous and her desert of individual pots du crème just was mind blowing. Everyone called for Sean to get his guitar and we all gathered in the parlor. Daniel skillfully attended to everyone's drinks while Sean sang sweetly. He always amazed me with his pure little voice and his astonishing musical inventory. When he sang it was always a diverse and enjoyable performance. He blew my mind though as he sweetly sang a song that was a musical version of a Robert Burns poem. `Green grow the rashes, O Green grow the rashes, O The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, Are spent amang the lasses, O.' The little kid never ceased to amaze me. After finishing the entire song in perfect difficult Scottish pronunciation, he got up and announced he was done for the evening and put his guitar back in its case. I patted his butt and urged him up to bed. He grinned and quite dramatically bid everyone goodnight. As he left I sighed and wondered if there was a more wonderful boy in the world. ******* We'd earlier moved Brian out of Jack's room and into Sean's, so I urged Brian off to bed as well. He sprang up and trotted off but not before coming over and giving me a kiss. I ran my hand down his back and over his wonderful butt. "Goodnight my young champion. Sleep well." He grinned widely and hugged me in a tight grip. "Good night Mr. T I...I love you" "Well Brian, I love you as well. You sleep tight and..." "Don't let the bed bugs bite" He giggled as he completed the phrase. I watched his wonderful little ass as he trotted out the door. That boy was a real love bug and starved for male attention. John and Jenny approached me and asked if we could talk. I motioned them over to a grouping of chairs and we sat down. "Well Eric, it's like this...Jenny really wants to take the job as Martha's assistant but she also wants her degree so if your offer to take care of that still stands, then we're going to be both proud members of the Tucker crew." "And important ones at that." I smiled as I stood up and wrapped Jenny in my arms. "I'm so happy and Martha will be more so. Why don't you go tell her? However, we need to set a time so that you can both tell me all about your honeymoon. Do you have lots of pictures?" "Tons Eric." Jenny replied "How about you and the boys come over for supper tomorrow and we'll show you pictures and tell you all about it." "You've got a date Jenny girl. Now go tell Martha the good news it will make her night." ********* I was very weary as I entered my bedroom. I sat on my bed and kicked off my shoes. I pulled off my shirt and almost painfully undid my shorts and then my boxer briefs. My socks followed and I sprawled onto my bed for the first time since my accident. I was in heaven. I heard them before I saw them. Sean and Brian. Two little boys in underpants and they came up to the side of my bed. "We're sleeping with you tonight. We've been so scared about you an we need to be close." I nodded my head. "Climb onboard boys you're very welcome." I smiled to myself as they both quickly pulled down their underpants and hopped up onto the bed. I wrapped an arm around each of them and pulled them close. They wiggled and squirmed but finally nested against me and fell into sleep. Sometime in the deep of night I felt something around my dick. Groggily I awoke and realized his little hand was grasping my cock. "Dad, I want you to do me." His little boy voice was soft but seductive. "Brian, I'm not your Dad." "I know but I like to pretend you are. I wish you were. Just for now couldn't you pretend to be my Dad? Couldn't you do me like you do Sean and Jack?" "Not now Brian but if you're certain that's what you want then we'll get together tomorrow afternoon and make love. OK? Now lay back down and I'll take care of your hard little pecker." I embraced his little steel hard rod in my lips and began a slow bobbing up and down. His cocklette was so small that taking him all into my mouth was effortless and I enjoyed working my lips and tongue all over it. He was a little boy and he didn't last long before he exploded into my mouth in three strong bursts. "Oh Dad!" He sighed. I kissed him and drew his little body against me. "Sleep tight Brian I love you." He sighed and snuggled up against me. Very shortly, he was asleep and apparently, soon I was as well. ******** It was a fun monkey hug in the shower and now we were all down for breakfast. "Jack I'm so happy to have you here my sweet boy." Martha was hugging and fussing over the grinning red head. ""We were all so worried as you were lost at sea." He smiled and said; "I'm ok Mrs. Edwards but I'm sure glad to be home I'll tell you that." Martha quickly placed plates of scrambled eggs, bacon and toast in front of us and we all devoured it. She followed it up with two bowls of melon and fruit. I finished my last sip of coffee and said; "OK boys off to your school." Brian came over to me and said softly; "You won't forget what you promised we'd do this afternoon right?" "No Brian if it's that important to you, that's what we'll do but I want to be certain you've thought about it." He smiled at me as he walked down the hall. My dick was stiff as I thought about fucking his tight young ass. I was running on instinct. I knew that having sex with someone else's son was wrong and wicked but I also knew this boy was in tragic need of male affection and he craved the loving that he witnessed me bestowing on Sean and Jack. I was thinking that while he was staying with us, I could give him a bit of love and then ween his physical needs over to a boy of a more appropriate age...perhaps Jack or even Sean. I spent an hour with Uncle Phil and Chris going over business and then moved up to the command center. Richard and Barry were there and I smiled as I walked over and took my seat at the head of the table. They quickly assured me that all was well and after a cup of coffee, I left. ******* He placed his young hand in mine and we walked across the compound into the residence. I had no idea what he'd told the other three boys. I felt my cock grow stiff as I imagined what was about to happen. Inside the room, he wasted no time getting naked. He blushed cutely as he finally removed his young boy's white briefs and smiled shyly at me. As I saw him, nude and glorious, I pulled him into a hug. I first kissed him before I whispered to him; "Are you shure you want to do this Brian?" "Uh huh." He nodded his head vigorously. "I've wanted to for a very long time." I ran my hand down his back and over his smooth butt cheeks as I continued to whisper to him. "You know this is against the law and I could get into a great deal of trouble if you told your Mom or anyone else about this...for that matter, if you told them about what I've already done to you?" "You surely know I'd never tell anyone. I just want to experience fatherly love. I'm so jealous of Sean, Jack and Bobby. They have wonderful fathers to love them and teach them and do loving stuff. I've got nobody and I want that sooo bad." "Well, for right now, you've got me. You need to know we won't do this a lot. I don't do it very often with Sean...just every once in a while and that's what I'm willing to do with you. Eventually, you'll find boys around your own age to do loving things with and that will be better for you...or maybe; you'll discover that you like girls and that would be great too. You've got your whole life ahead of you Brian and it will be happier than it is sad and you need to know that you ARE loved by lots of people including me. Now, let me get undressed and we'll get you prepared for this. It will probably hurt at first but I'm going to do everything I can to make certain it hurts as little as possible." His eyes were big and they glistened with moisture but he wasn't crying as he leaned back onto the bed. I'd already shed my shoes so I pulled off my socks and undid my shirt and slipped it off. My torso is essentially naturally smooth but I'm in very good shape so I know my upper body looked good. He stared at me transfixed. I smiled and dropped my cargo shorts and then quickly pulled down my black boxer briefs freeing my already rampant cock. His eyes got wide as he gazed at me it was the first time he'd actually seen me erect in full daylight. I grinned. "Having second thoughts about taking this thing into you?" He broke his gaze from my cock to my eyes. "N-no! If Sean can take I can take it and I want to feel it...I want to feel you make love to me." With a smile I reach out and ran my hand down his cheek and tilted his head back as I leaned in and kissed him." "Ok Brian, there are lots of ways to do this but since this is your cherry popping experience, I'd like you on your back so that I can see your face and kiss you while we make love." "That's how I'd like it too. Uhmm...would you call me `Son' while we do this and can I call you `Dad'?" "Sure `Son'. That's just fine now I want to put this pillow under the small of your back to elevate your bottom a bit. We're going to kiss for a while but then we're going to get down to business. It's your first time and the feelings will be intense. You should enjoy them but enjoy them quickly. I kissed the tip of his rock hart little dick. Don't worry, if `little Brian' doesn't shoot, we'll take care of that before we leave." "OK Dad." He grinned up at me. I grabbed the tube of lube and instructed him to pull his knees up to his chest. Little boys are so wonderfully flexible. I couldn't do that...thank god that I'm essentially a top. Taking a large glob of the lube, I ran it down his opened crack and then moved one finger against his virgin pucker. "Cold." He giggled. "It'll warm up very fast son. Now I'm going into your tube to coat it with the lubricant so that the pain of your first penetration will be minimal. Are you still ok with this?" "Y-yes Dad. Please do me." I inserted one heavily coated finger into his ass. It entered surprisingly easily. I worked the lube around his hot slick walls and decided to seek out his young prostate. I found it and I massaged it softly with my finger. He jumped in pleasured shock and almost kicked me in the face. "W-what the fuck was that?" I laughed down at him. "THAT was your magic button son. I've got a lot to teach you about your body and that was your first lesson. You didn't even know it was there did you?" "Hell no but, could you do it again?" "I guess you liked that huh?" "Can you kiss me while you work my magic button Dad?" "Your wish is my command honeybunch. Spread your legs wider and raise your knees. You don't have to pull them all the way back yet." I re-lubed my finger and slid it back into his hole swirling my finger around to gently loosen his young sphincter. I laid over him and brought my lips down onto his and though he wasn't very experienced, he instinctively opened his lips and we were soon doing an intense tongue dance as we pressed our lips tightly against each other. I quickly relocated his little button and began to slowly caress it with my finger and soon, he was bucking his hips up against me moaning in total erotic delight. I'll bet it wasn't ten minutes before his little cock exploded between our bodies. His hot sperm splashed forcefully against my stomach and he moaned as he collapsed against the mattress. "Ohmygod, ohmygod,ohmygod!" His almost glazed eyes stared up at me. "I've never felt anything like that in my whole life! Thanks Dad for teaching me about my magic button. You're so wonderful. I stroked his face lovingly. "Ready for the main event or have you had enough for today?" "Oh no. I'm really ready for you to do me right now." "You mean to fuck you Son." "What?" "It's called fucking. You're about to be fucked. If you're going to have sex like a man, talk like a man; no little boy code words OK?" "Y-yeah, I'm ready for you to fuck me Dad." "OK then pull your knees all the way back as close to your shoulders as you can then place your feet up against my chest. I'd been rubbing lots of lube around my cock and I leaned forward and placed the head of my cock against his loosened little rosebud and without a word to him, I pushed in. "OHhh!" He exclaimed as I pushed through his tight little gate with no attempt at gentleness. Once the tip of my cock and about a half an inch was through, I paused and looked down at him. He was grimacing. "You OK? Want me to stop or go on?" "Oww... it hurts a lot more than I thought it would but I want you to go on. Sean and Bobby told me that it feels a lot better soon." "OK then push down and I'm going to slide all the way in and then we'll slowly fuck Son." "OK Dad." He moaned obviously in pain. I pushed forward, in one slick motion I was buried deep into his little rectum, I quickly began a slow in and out movement, and I knew quickly that my dick was massaging his prostrate. He soon began to moan and he wrapped his arms around my neck and his legs wrapped around my waist as I continued my slow long strokes. He was moaning and almost crying as we danced our dance of the `beast with two backs'. Almost without warning, his little dick exploded against my stomach again and I felt the hot jizz splatter against my skin. OH to be a young boy again! That was all it took and I drove deep into him and erupted deep into his bowels. "Ohhh my god!" He cried out and collapsed onto the mattress-breathing like he'd just run a marathon. I waited until his breathing had returned to near normal and I stroked his forehead. "Well Son, was it anything like you expected?" "Oh geeze Dad! It was so much more than I expected. I've never felt things like that in my whole life! Thank you so much! I know we won't do this a lot but we will do it again right? " "Sure Brian, we can do it again as long as it's our private thing between us." His beautiful face suddenly looked sad. "S-so I'm back to `Brian' again so you're not `Dad' anymore I guess." I stroked his smooth shoulder. "Brian, I can't be your Dad. You've got a mother who loves you intensely and you love her just as strongly. You already know that your Grandmother is dying and your mother is really going to need you. I can't be your Dad but I can and will be your good friend. You can count on me for anything you need. I love you Brian and I'll always be here for you. He pulled his body tight up against me and sniffled into my chest. "C-can I sometimes call you `Dad' an will you sometimes call me `son'?" I kissed him. "You bet Honeybunch but now, we need to jump in the shower we've both got cum and lube all over us." He grinned at me. "Yeah but I finally have your cum inside me." I giggled as I lifted him off the bed and carried him into the bathroom. I washed him slowly and sensuously just like I washed Sean, finally working the rich conditioner into his hair and letting it do its thing for a few minutes before rinsing it out. Brian was taller than Sean by at least six inches and so exploring his young body was interesting. When I'd first seen him on the soccer field I'd thought he was almost as tall as Jack but, that turned out not to be the case. His long legs gave the illusion that he was taller than he was though in fact, he was taller than all of his friends. He was still after all, a little boy. He moaned and cooed as I washed him and my hands softly moved over his young athletic body. When I was finished he nestled his head against my chest. "It's not fair that you can't be my Dad. I'd give anything to be your son." "Well then remember that you can be and are my very good friend and that I love you and I'm here for you and when you're not privately calling me `Dad', you should stop calling me `Mr. Tucker' because friends don't do that. You should call me `Eric' in front of everybody so they'll know that we're close friends OK?" He grinned and hugged. "OK Eric. I love you a lot. Thanks."
