Date: Sun, 26 May 2013 10:47:43 +0100 From: Adam Stewart Subject: The Earl's Son - part 19 This is a love story following the life of two young men who fall in love and have to overcome tragedies in their lives. All the characters are fictional. Warning - it contains some m/m sex. The Earl's Son 19. By the time Nigel returned from the airport the other three were up and had eaten breakfast. They needed it after the energetic session of sex that had taken place between the three of them! Despite it being October the weather was warm and sunny, so never wanting to miss the opportunity to enjoy the sunshine, Julian and Robin had dressed in beach style shorts with nothing else. Julian had also told Thomas that now his mother was no longer in residence that he and Nigel could dress far less formally. "So in future you only need wear white shirt and black trousers when we are entertaining straight guests" he told Thomas and since most of their guests were gay that requirement would be few and far between, "So you and Nigel can wear casual clothes in future, and when you feel like it wear shorts if you want to. We don't mind, do we Robin" he added. "No, wear whatever you want Thomas" Robin grinned, "Go naked if you like" he giggled. "Don't tempt me; Nigel and I rather enjoy being naked" he replied grinning. "Ah, so that's what you and Nigel get up to upstairs" Thomas laughed, "Well, don't worry about us we won't mind". So, when Nigel found Thomas in the kitchen on his return dressed in a pair of skimpy shorts with nothing on top and bare feet, he looked somewhat amazed. Thomas quickly relayed what Julian had told him. "Whoopee" he giggled, "In that case I shall get out of this garb and join you". When he had done so and went into the garden to find Julian and Robin he found them laying stark naked enjoying the sun. "Hi Nigel, thanks for taking mum; take it you got her there on time okay" Nigel confirmed he had as he glanced down at the two naked bodies. "Why don't you and Thomas join us" Julian said, "The jobs can wait till tomorrow". Nigel said he would but he'd better go and see Tim who was busy working at the other end of the garden. "Tell him he can join us if he wants" Julian added as Nigel walked off towards Tim. Just then Thomas came out with some drinks so Julian invited him to join the party as well. "Yeah okay" he grinned and seeing the other two had removed their shorts decided to do the same. A few minutes later, Nigel returned with Tim following on behind. Whilst Nigel hastily removed his shorts to join his naked boyfriend Julian spoke to Tim. "Come and join us Tim, you look hot in those jeans and shirt; we won't jump on you" he added laughing. Tim grinned and without thinking replied "Wouldn't mind if you did" and commenced removing his shirt and jeans. "Did you say what I thought you said?" Julian asked grinning whilst the others looked on somewhat amazed. Tim grinned and shrugged his shoulders. He was now standing in a very scanty pair of briefs and showing a bulge that was more than just a flaccid organ. "Are you saying you're gay?" Robin asked taking up the conversation. Tim continued standing and just grinned again before answering. "Could be" he eventually said as he slipped off his briefs to expose a gorgeous cock which was slightly excited. "We thought you were straight" Nigel said having a good look at what was now on view. "Yeah well, you were wrong weren't you; why do you think I was so happy about working with you when the horses were sold" "So what about the girls you said you'd been out with?" Nigel asked now completely confused. "Am I right in saying Tim that they were just a front to hide your sexuality?" Tim nodded and then added that he'd in fact only been out with one girl in the village. "And did you ...you know...do anything with her?" Thomas asked now joining in since he was really intrigued with Tim's revelation. "I'm not sure that is any of our business Thomas" Julian jumped in before Tim had time to respond. "Sorry Tim, Julian's right" Thomas quickly said feeling a cad for asking. "It's okay, I don't mind but since you ask, no I haven't; I like female company but prefer guys when it comes to sex." Everyone looked at him now even more aghast since he seemed to be indicating that he'd had sex with guys but had never ever let on to any of them despite knowing all those present were very much members of the homosexual brigade. "And in case you're all wondering, yes I have been fucked by a guy, in fact two guys" he added looking at their expressions of amazement. "So why haven't you come out to us before now" Julian asked kindly, "You know we would have understood". Tim considered that question for a moment whilst he casually felt his cock which was swelling more than he really wanted, a fact not unnoticed by the other four guys looking at him now laying beside Julian. "I've often wanted to" he started saying before pausing. "Is it your parents?" Thomas asked remembering that Tim's mum and dad were staunch church goers. "Yeah" Tim nodded, "They'd have a fit if they found out and my dad would probably kill me". "Well, be assured Tim we won't say anything if that's how you want to keep it" Nigel said knowing the problem of having parents who didn't accept their son's sexuality. "Yes Tim, we will all maintain secrecy if that's what you want" Julian added trying to assure him. "Yes please" Tim replied with a glum look, "as long as my parents live in the village then that's how it's got to be". "Are they likely to move from the village then?" Robin asked picking up on the inference Tim was making. "It's possible" he replied, "They're thinking of retiring down to Cornwall; can't be soon enough as far as I'm concerned he added with conviction. "I'm sorry Tim" Julian said patting Tim's naked thigh which made his cock twitch with excitement, "it must be difficult for you". "Certainly is, the fucking bigots" he replied harshly and then looked at Julian to see if he was about to admonish him for using such language. Instead, Julian patted his thigh again keeping his hand firmly in place this time. "It's okay Tim, you're amongst friends here so you can vent your feelings as much as you want." "Yeah don't you worry Tim, we'll always be here for you" Nigel said with feeling. In fact a bit too much for Thomas who gave his boyfriend a dirty look. "Well, welcome to the Drayton House homo team Tim" Robin said for light relief. "Yes, you are very welcome Tim and if you want to discuss anything feel free to speak to one of us" Julian added. "Thanks guys, I appreciate that" Tim replied laying back and showing off his attributes. "We'll, that's a turn up for the books" Robin said later when he and Julian were alone. "What, Tim coming out as gay?" "Yeah, I wonder who the two guys are" Robin laughed, "I wouldn't mind a bit of him from what we saw earlier. "You're sex mad" Julian laughed, "but if you must know it was a couple of seasonal farm workers and he's a bottom". "How the fuck did you find that out?" Robin laughed. "I asked him after lunch if he had a regular boyfriend and he said he hadn't and had only been fucked by the two seasonal workers and that he was a bottom." Robin laughed, "You don't hang about do you? Any chance of a threesome with him do you think?" "If you play your cards right who knows; but meanwhile I want to show you the west wing to see if you'd like to move our rooms there." Once Robin had looked round the rooms previously occupied by Julian's mum he said he loved them. The view over the grounds was stunning so they agreed they would move across. They went downstairs to find Thomas who was busy preparing the evening meal. "Wow, that is sexy" Julian exclaimed looking at Thomas who was standing at the sink. He was wearing a thong with an apron so all that was showing was his bare butt. Julian moved up behind him and patted the naked flesh before feeling round the front. "You did say we could dress casually" Thomas laughed, "and Nigel and I like to dress down like this when we can; hope you don't mind". "Mind? I love it; it's a shame we don't have our thongs with us Robin then we could do the same" "We've got several pairs so you could wear those if you want" a voice suddenly said from behind Julian. He turned to find Nigel standing there wearing a similarly sexy thong. His was a bright pink. He then went into the laundry room and came out with two thongs. A red one for Robin and a gold coloured one for Julian. "Very fetching" Robin laughed as he stripped off his shorts and slipped on the thong. Julian did the same and they all had a giggle looking at the effect. "Hope we don't scare Tim off" Julian commented, "I assume he's joining us for a meal". Nigel said he was and added that Tim also enjoyed wearing thongs so had told him to do likewise. "He should be here soon" he grinned. Whilst they were waiting, Julian mentioned that he and Robin were going to move into the west wing. "I thought we'd leave the east wing as guest rooms so I was wondering if you guys would like to move down from the top floor into the middle rooms which Alisha normally uses. She and Melanie and Oliver and whatever boyfriend he eventually finds can use the east wing in future. What do you think?" Thomas and Nigel looked at him for a moment, "What move down to the first floor?" "Yes, if you want; just thought it might be a bit more convenient for you both and more comfortable" Julian replied. "Wow, yes please" they both replied looking at each other and then looking at Julian, "Thanks, that would be great" Nigel added as he came over and gave Julian a big kiss. "Yeah, thanks Julian" Thomas said and moved over to Julian to give him a kiss whilst holding a rather large carrot that he was in the process of cleaning up. Julian looked at the carrot and grinned, "Mm, do you have any particular plans for that" he giggled indicating the carrot. Thomas blushed and quickly lowered his hand, "Whatever turns you on". "In that case I was wondering now that Tim has come out as being one of us as it were, whether he'd like to move into your rooms on the top floor. I always feel he's somewhat isolated in the old stables flat." Nigel agreed and was sure Tim would like to do that so Julian said he'd speak to him about it. "When are you planning to move your stuff over?" Nigel asked. "Thought we'd start tomorrow" Julian replied. The west wing had been redecorated only a few months before his dad died so there was nothing to do apart from change the furniture over. Julian's mum had overseen the redecoration and it had been very nicely done so Julian was more than happy to leave it as it was. A few minutes later Tim came in through the kitchen door that connected to the yard across from where the garage was situated. He was wearing an oversized shirt that came down to his knees and for a moment everyone wondered whether he was wearing his thong or anything for that matter underneath. When he saw the others all in their thongs he grinned and removed his shirt. Sure enough he was wearing a thong which was a light pink colour and very revealing. Every ripple of his family jewels was visible through the thin material which caused the other male organs in the room to stir. "How about we have a pre dinner drink?" Julian grinned. The others all nodded so Robin and Nigel pulled out some glasses. Everyone agreed to have a gin and tonic. It wasn't the usual drink that Tim had but he decided to go along with the others who were more used to drinking such things. "Cheers", Julian said holding his glass up to the others "And a particularly warm welcome to Tim who's now one of the family". Tim blushed and grinned as they all held their glasses up for him. "Thanks" he replied, "It's great to be out at last" he said and dabbing his eyes. Julian quickly noticed and pulled him into a hug, "You're very welcome Tim" he replied as he put an arm round Tim's waist. Having put his glass on the table he placed his other hand on Tim's backside. Tim was slightly shorter than Julian so his head nestled into the side of Julian's neck. Although he was by no means overweight, he had plenty of flesh on him, especially on his buttocks so there was plenty to take hold of. As they hugged, Julian squeezed the nicely rounded butt in his hand and felt his manhood start to react. He could also feel Tim's doing the same since it was now pressing against his. "Okay guys, you can sit down" Thomas finally announced as he placed a dish of vegetables on the table along with a steak and mushroom pie he'd made. They all sat down with Julian at the head of the table, Tim to his immediate left with Robin the other side of him, and Nigel and Thomas opposite them. "To us" Julian said proposing a toast with the wine that Thomas had now poured out, "And once again Tim, welcome". Tim muttered thanks and looked down at his plate. He loved being with these guys but it took some getting used to being the centre of attention. For so many years he'd kept himself to himself and virtually hidden himself away but since working with Nigel his confidence had increased so he was sure he'd fit in well with the guys now sitting round the table. As they ate, Julian asked whether Tim had any brothers or sisters having realised he knew very little about Tim apart from the fact that his parents lived in the village and had done so for years. "No" Tim replied, "I'm the only one; my mum was in her early forties when she had me and my dad was forty five; I've often wondered whether they really wanted me and I was just a big mistake". Julian looked at him and placed a hand on Tim's, "So your parents are now in their seventies" he said having quickly worked it out. "Yeah, dad is now seventy six and mum is seventy three" he replied sullenly. When the meal was finished and they were about to clear away the dishes, Julian asked Tim if he'd like to move out of the old stables flat above the garage into the rooms that were to be vacated by Thomas and Nigel having explained the new arrangements. For a moment Tim just looked at Julian open mouthed. "If you'd prefer to stay where you are Tim you're welcome to do so but we just thought you might like to feel part of the family by moving into the house" Julian added wondering if Tim didn't really want to move. "I'd love to" he finally replied with tears running down his face, "You're all too kind" he managed to add as the tears flowed. Julian stood up and put an arm round his shoulders to comfort him, "Why don't we go into the living room and leave these guys to clear up" Julian suggested gently lifting Tim up from the table. The others took the hint and started clearing things away whilst Julian led Tim off into the other room. "Perhaps you could bring the coffee in when you're ready please Thomas" Julian added as he led Tim who still had tears running down his face. Julian sat Tim down on one of the sofas and put an arm round him. Tim immediately burrowed his head into Julian's chest like a small child. For a while, Julian said nothing to let Tim calm down as he gently squeezed him tight and rubbed the top of his head. "I take it things have been hard for you over the years" Julian eventually said. Tim nodded and told Julian about his early childhood. It had been very hard and his parents had never really loved him. His father had spent his life making Tim feel that he was useless and his mother kept on asking why he hadn't married a nice local girl. "How long have you known you were gay?" Julian asked. "For as long as I can remember; was continually bullied at school, especially when some boys saw me looking at them having a shower after a football match; from there on everybody called me a poof." "I know what it feels like" Julian replied thinking back to his school days, "It's even worse in a boarding school; I was forcibly fucked by two seniors when I was fourteen; the laugh was that they thought they were humiliating me whereas in reality I rather enjoyed it!" Tim looked up and gave a weak smile. "Presumably your parents know you're employed by a poof so how do they cope with that?" "They seem to think it's okay for upper class guys to be gay but not for the likes of me. My dad is also racist" Tim added casually, "He couldn't understand his Lordship allowing a black man to join the Drayton family". Julian was stunned. He'd couldn't believe anyone would consider Robin as being black. "For a start Robin's mother was from Sri Lanka and secondly his father was white British" "I know that but my homophobic racist dad doesn't have the brain to know what he's talking about. I've had many rows with him over such matters but he doesn't listen." Julian didn't know what to say for a moment. "I told my dad during one such argument that your's was a kind compassionate man unlike him and I wished it was him who'd died and not your dad" "I'm so sorry Tim. So when do you think they will move to Cornwall?" Tim said he didn't know but that his mum's sister lived there and her husband had died last year so had invited his parents to live with her and save paying rent on their cottage in the village. "So what's holding them back?" Julian asked. "Money; they can't afford the cost of moving down there" "So if they had the money, they'd move" Julian replied as he thought the matter through. "Fuck yes, they'd go tomorrow if they had the money; they hate living in the village; they've made too many enemies" Tim added with a giggle. "Right, tomorrow I'll get Robin to arrange for a removal company to visit your parents to quote for moving them to Cornwall. I take it they'd accept you paying for it" Julian asked. Tom looked up at Julian not sure what he was saying. "I will pay the cost of their removal but as far as they are concerned it is you paying. Just tell them you've been given a bonus for the good work you're doing." Tim again looked up at Julian and the tears started to flow, "Thank you, thank you so much". "Ah, just the person we need" Julian said as Robin entered the room with the coffee. He filled Robin in with Tim's situation and asked him to handle it for him. "Remember Tim, we're your friends so don't hesitate to talk to us about any problems" Julian said squeezing Tim up against him. "Thanks guys" he smiled. Robin sat down beside him and patted his naked leg. As usual he was proud of his partner and the way he always helped those in need. ___________________________________________________________________________ The next part of 'The Earl's Son' will be available shortly.
