None of the characters portrayed relate to any known person. Warning - it contains explicit m/m sex. The Pink Retreat 13. "Oh my god" Luke exclaimed one morning a few days later. Josh looked over to where he was standing reading a letter. "What, what's happened?" Josh asked rushing over to Luke. "Read that" Luke said passing Josh the letter. "Dear Luke" the letter started, "As you may know before Hugh sadly passed away he arranged for several paintings he had for sale in our gallery to be transferred into your name so that when they were eventually sold the money would come straight to you rather than having to go into his estate. I am pleased to inform you that all six paintings have now been sold and as is often the case with artists who have sadly passed away, the value increases considerably. I therefore have pleasure in advising you that you are owed five hundred thousand pounds having taken off our commission. Would you please let us know how you would like to receive payment, for example by cheque or directly into your bank account?" Josh re-read the letter just to make sure he hadn't got it wrong before saying anything. "Wow" he finally exclaimed. "I can't believe it" Luke was now saying, "I had no idea that Hugh had done that" he added with tears pouring down his face. "Oh god Josh, I so miss him" Luke wailed falling into his lover's arms. "I know you do my love" Josh said hugging his lover tight into his arms and patting his back. He knew there was little else he could do but just comfort Luke. He also knew that Hugh would always be there in their lives even though he was not there physically any more but Josh accepted it and was happy that he'd had the privilege of meeting Hugh and helping him through his final days. After several minutes of tears, Luke finally composed himself and picked up the letter to read it through again. It was so typical of Hugh to do something like this. The rest of his estate had almost gone through all the necessary stages of being wrapped up and the solicitor had said there were only a few loose ends that needed tying up. "I think I'll give some of this to brain tumour charity." Josh thought that was an excellent idea. "That reminds me, I must call Ashley to see what's happened about the charity concert he was planning." The Brighton orchestra were already working on their Christmas concert and wanted Josh to do a piano solo, and he had also agreed to do the same for the London concert which this year was being held at the Conway Hall. Fortunately he'd managed to persuade both of them to let him do the same piece which was Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto Number 2. Although he knew it off by heart, he still needed to practice more to get it perfect so made a mental note to put some time aside to do this. Meanwhile Luke had invited their new group of friends for another meal. He'd decided it was probably going to be a long night so had chosen a Friday evening since none of them had work the following day. Once the meal was over, they all stripped off, showered and had a soak in the hot tub to get things going. He'd told everyone that sex could take place in that area or in the living room as they wished. Erections were soon rising high and they were groping each other. Colin got everyone to sit on the side of the hot tub whilst he went along the line and sucked each cock. "Mm, gorgeous" he chucked as he went from one to another. When they'd had sufficient fun and games in the hot tub they dried off and trouped into the living room. "I believe Jacek likes being tied up for sex" Colin said looking hopeful. Jacek nodded and the restraint equipment was fetched from upstairs. Luke had also laid out the thin mattress on the floor to provide somewhere for guys to have fun so Jacek was laid on his back and his arms were handcuffed above his head to the feet of a chair positioned behind him. Luke and Josh then pulled his legs wide apart and held them whilst the others sucked his cock and tweaked his nipples. Jacek loved it and was wriggling up and down with delight. "Okay guys, let's give him a good fuck" Colin said excitedly so Jacek's legs were pulled up over his chest and fastened to the chair with the restraint rope. His puckered hole was now ready for the taking and Colin wasted no time in sticking two well lubricated fingers into it. Again Jacek loved it and squealed with excitement. Colin then moved up to the open hole and gently pushed in. "Oh fuck" Jacek squealed as he felt the large head breach his entrance. "Yeah, now that is what I call a nice firm arse" Colin giggled as he continued pushing his length into Jacek. The others all looked on casually stroking their erections which were now getting very excited at the thought of their turn. "Oh fuck" Colin yelled, "I'm coming; fuck, fuck, didn't want that to happen just yet" he exclaimed and told everyone that he hadn't had sex for several weeks. "The night is young" Luke chuckled, "no doubt you'll cum again later". "Oh yes" Colin grinned as he spilt his load, "I can shoot a load several times during a session don't you worry!" When he'd finally shot his load and pulled out, Jason took over. "Oh yes, that feels wonderful" he exclaimed as he slowly thrust in and out. Ian was next, and Jacek had the delight of having his thick tool thrust inside him. "Fucking hell, you're big" Jacek giggled as he felt the thick organ invade him. Ian just grinned and thrust back and forth until he too was spilling his load. "Fuck that was good" Ian exclaimed when he'd finally come down from his high and pulled out. Jacek then looked at Luke and Josh to see if they were going to take him. He wanted everyone so Luke went first followed by Josh. By the time they were done he had a wonderful glow. His legs were then untied and everyone took it in turns to sit on his organ which had remained fully erect throughout. Josh was the last to sit on it and by this time Jacek was very near his point of no return. "I'm going to cum" Jacek giggled as Josh rode him up and down. "Just let it rip" Josh told him and continued riding the long rod until he could feel Jacek reaching a climax. Luke then lay Josh face down and pulled him wide open. He probed the open hole with his tongue. Josh was tied up next and he too loved having five guys thrust into him one after the other. Ian then said he'd like to be tied up so he was bent over one of the chairs and his hands and feet shackled to the legs. Each fuck was hard but he seemed to love it and groaned and moaned throughout. Every so often they stopped for drinks and lay out on the floor sucking each other or giving each other a good feel. It was great fun and they all enjoyed their time together. "That was good" Colin exclaimed as he left, "Thanks guys". "So?" Luke said looking at Josh when they'd all left. "Brilliant" Josh chuckled, "How often are we going to have those sessions then?" "I suggest we make them once a month but that doesn't mean we can't meet up with whomever in between. "Wow, can't wait" Josh giggled. One afternoon a few days later, Ian was working in one of the grain silos. He suddenly heard the twins, Tom & Jim, coming in and when he peered round the large tank he was working behind he saw they were dragging Gino in with them. Gino had only been employed about two weeks earlier and Ian liked him. He'd quickly assessed that he was gay. The twins were known for their boisterous behaviour and they loved initiating anyone new in the team by some means or other. Ian remembered what they did to him within the first few weeks and shuddered. He wondered whether he should make himself known but he knew it wouldn't stop the twins doing whatever they had in mind. In fact it would probably make things worse and he'd end up having the crap kicked out of him as well. Since he couldn't get out without them seeing him he decided to stay quietly where he was and look on. The twins suddenly pulled Gino's arms round his back and tied his hands together with some rope. They'd already taken off his thick jacket so they now ripped off his shirt, throwing it onto the concrete floor. They then ripped open his jeans and Ian could hear the sound of the material tearing as they did so. The torn jeans were then pulled down his legs and off him together with his boots. Gino was crying out for them to stop what they were doing but they continued regardless. He was then pushed down onto his knees on the concrete floor and Tom opened his own jeans and let them drop round his ankles. Whilst Jim held Gino down on his knees, Tom then thrust his erection into Gino's mouth. "Suck that you fucking cock sucker" Tom told Gino as he pulled his head back and forth on his long shaft. Ian remembered the same being done to him and as he watched he could taste Tom's organ in his mouth even though it was now almost a year ago. When Tom had been sucked enough, he pulled Gino up by his hair. The twins then pushed him over a bale of straw nearby and whilst Jim held Gino's head down pressing it into the straw bale, Tom ripped Gino's briefs off him. Ian could again hear the material ripping as he did so and it wasn't long before Gino was bending over stark naked. Tom slapped his erection against Gino's buttocks and he feared what was going to happen to him. He tried to shout for them to stop but Jim just pushed his face further into the straw bale. "Shut the fuck up you bitch" he shouted at Gino. Ian could hardly contain himself. He felt so sorry for Gino and even more so for not rushing to his aid but he knew it would do no good and the twins would probably strip him too and give him the same treatment. Instead he just watched. What he found more upsetting, was that seeing poor Gino being taunted by Tom, made his own organ begin to enlarge despite trying to get it out of his mind. Tom was now slapping Gino with as much force as he could muster. Gino was crying as the pain shot through his whole body. It felt as if his butt was on fire. Suddenly Tom stopped and his backside was now so sore that it was almost numb. Just when he thought this was the end, Jim then did the same whilst Tom held Gino's face deep into the straw bale. Ian was now rock hard and he could feel pre-cum weeping out into his pants. At least he hoped it was that and not piss from being so frightened for Gino and himself. Finally Jim stopped. He gave Gino's naked buttocks an almighty slap and pushed him over. Ian silently gasped as he watched Gino roll onto the hard concrete floor. The twins just laughed as they pulled their own jeans up and finally walked out. As soon as they were gone, Ian ran over to where Gino was lying. "Gino, Gino" he cried, "Are you okay?" Gino looked up into Ian's eyes and just cried. "I'm so sorry Gino; those two are bastards" Ian said as he helped Gino up and sat him on the straw bale. He didn't dare let on that he'd seen the whole episode but at least he could help his friend now. He gathered together the remains of Gino's clothes and helped him on with them. His briefs were ripped to shreds so in no way could they be put back on but the jeans at least covered him to some extent even though the zip had been ripped out. The shirt was also in ribbons so Ian picked up Gino's thick jacket, shook off the dust from the floor and helped Gino into it. He then helped Gino put on his boots which were still intact. "Come on, I'll take you to the farmhouse and we'll find Jason" Ian told Gino. He knew Jason would listen to what had happened whereas when he'd been bullied a year previous by the twins, Roberts had just laughed it off and told him not to tell lies. As usual the twins got away with it and Ian had to just shut his mouth and live with it. "It's time those buggers were taught a lesson" Ian mumbled as he helped Gino to the farmhouse. "Can you come over?" Jason asked Luke when Ian and Gino had told him what the twins had done, "I've got a situation here and I'm not sure how to handle it". Josh was out seeing a client so Luke quickly left a note just in case he got back before him. He then jumped into his run about and made his way to the farm. When he got there, Jason called him straight into the office. "What's up?" Luke asked as he walked in and saw Gino sitting there in a somewhat bedraggled state and tear stained eyes with Ian sitting beside him. "Okay Gino, would you like to tell Luke what happened? With difficulty, Gino eventually went through his ordeal even though the tears were still pouring down his face. "And did you see this Ian?" Luke then asked. Ian knew he was now going to have to own up and say he saw the whole event. "Yes, I did" he replied looking at Gino, "I'm so sorry Gino but I knew there was nothing I could do; if I'd tried to intervene they would probably have done far worse to both of us; they did the same to me soon after I joined". "Did you report it?" Luke asked clearly shocked at what had happened. "Mr Roberts just laughed and told me not to tell lies" Ian said, "so I had to leave it". "Bloody hell" Luke exclaimed feeling more and more annoyed over the way Roberts treated his staff. When Luke had thought for a moment, he asked Ian to take Gino into the other room. "Is that okay Jason?" Luke asked suddenly realising it was Jason's home they were sitting in. "Sure," Jason replied, "get Gino a drink of tea or something please Ian". When the two had left the office, Jason looked at Luke as if to say "What the hell do we do now?" "Where are the twins?" Luke finally asked. Jason said they were working in one of the barns. "Ask them to join you in the office but be casual and don't let on what it's about" Luke said. Whilst Jason went to fetch the twins, Luke went into the living room next door to see how Gino was doing. "You okay Gino?" Luke asked sitting down beside him. Gino nodded but Luke could see he was still very upset. "I'll take you back to the cottage when I've finished here and we can treat your cuts and grazes" Luke told him as he gently patted Gino's leg, "stay with him if you don't mind Ian" Luke added before he went back into the office to wait for the twins and Jason to arrive. When they entered the office and saw Luke sitting there they knew immediately that something was up. "Sit down guys" Luke told them. The twins say down on the other side of the desk to Luke and Jason and looked at them. Luke could tell they were both worried. "So, I understand you guys like to give new employees and initiation" Luke said casually. Tom grinned wondering where this was going. "Is that correct?" Luke asked looking at them both in the eye. "You could say that" Tom replied. "So you decided to initiate Gino by ripping off his clothes and then thrashing him" Tom was now looking decidedly worried whilst Jim sat with his eyes in his lap. "It was only a bit of fun" Tom eventually replied. "You call bullying fun do you?" Luke fired back. "We didn't bully him; it was just some fun" Tom replied trying to play down what they'd done since he didn't know how much Luke really knew. "If a guy says stop or no, I call that bullying" Luke then said. "He seemed to enjoy it" Jim suddenly said, "By the time we'd finished he had a hard-on so he must have enjoyed it". Luke decided not to answer that point but continued, "So you agree you did strip him and slap him?" Both Tom and Jim nodded and muttered a feint yes. "And you made him suck your cocks as well?" "Yeah" Tom replied for both of them, "Look we didn't mean to hurt him, it was just a bit of fun and he likes sucking cock". "That's not the point is it Tom? You don't force yourself on someone if they are clearly saying no do you?" "Suppose not" Tom muttered, "I'm really sorry, things got a bit out of hand really. I presume he came and complained did he?" "No, he didn't; you were observed and when you'd left Gino stark naked in the barn with his clothes ripped to ribbons, that person brought him to the house to be treated for his cuts and bruises" Luke replied. "Oh fuck" Jim said looking up, "is he okay?" "Are you really bothered? Let's face it you grab hold of a guy, tie his hands behind his back, use a knife to cut off his clothes, make him suck your dicks and then slap him whilst he's clearly telling you to stop and when you've had your fun you push him onto the ground like a sack of potatoes and leave him there". Jim was now sobbing slightly having realised the situation they were in. "Are you going to sack us Mr Palmer?" Tom then asked. Luke had already asked Jason if he wanted them sacked since their actions merited it but Jason said they were both excellent workers and he didn't really want to lose them unless he had to. They therefore agreed that the twins needed to be taught a lesson. "You realise we could involve the police in this don't you?" Luke replied without actually answering Tom's question. "Oh fuck, please don't do that" Jim implored looking at his brother and wishing to god he'd not led him into this. "Is that what Gino wants to do? Involve the police?" Tom asked. "I've not asked him yet but I'm just saying that it could be a police matter" Luke replied rather enjoying the fact that he'd got the twins just where he wanted them. "The sad thing is that you're both good workers from what Jason has told me but we can't just ignore what you've done" Luke continued. "Yeah, suppose not" Tom said wondering what was coming next. "So, you have two options; we either hand the matter over to the police and let them investigate the matter, but I should warn you we do have someone who would be willing to give very convincing evidence apart from Gino's; or you can be subject to Home Farm action; what do you want?" Luke asked knowing very well what the answer would be. "We don't want the police involved" Tom replied immediately "So I guess we'll have to be subject to Home Farm action whatever that is". "Okay, just sit there for a moment whilst I have a private word with Jason" Luke said. Once they were both outside and closed the office door behind them, Luke told Jason what he had in mind. Jason grinned and said fine. They then went into the living room and told Ian and Gino. "Before we do anything Gino, I should ask if you want to involve the police" Luke asked. Gino looked up at Luke and shook his head vehemently, "No, no way" he replied. "At least the twins will be taught a lesson" Ian said, "I'll go and gather the other lads together in the barn so bring them out in about five minutes". Jason and Luke returned to the office. The twins immediately looked up clearly worried. "What's going to happen" Luke told them, "is something that should teach you two a very clear lesson but if either of you do anything remotely like this again you will be sacked with immediate effect. Is that clear?" "Yes Mr Palmer" they both said with a sigh of relief that they still had their jobs, "I promise we won't do anything like this again" Tom then added. "And that includes the summer temporary workers" Jason then said, "I know you've given some of them a rough ride as well in the past but Roberts never stopped you. As Luke says, it's got to stop here and now otherwise you two are for the chop". "Yes boss" the twins replied looking very crestfallen as they fiddled with their hands wondering what was in store for them. Once the five minutes was up that Ian had said he wanted to get the other guys ready, Jason and Luke led the twins out to one of the barns. When they got there, Ian, Gino and the other four permanent farm workers were standing waiting. Tom and Jim's hearts began to race. They hadn't reckoned on the others being involved in whatever Luke had in store for them. "Okay guys" Luke commenced as he addressed the assembled crowd, "as you will all know by now Tom and Jim here undertook one of their initiation ceremonies on Gino this afternoon and things got somewhat out of hand. What they did to Gino was serious and I could involve the police but I have agreed with the twins that instead of doing that we will handle this matter in-house. From what I've been told, all of you at some point in time have been on the receiving end of the twins' actions so the tables are now going to be turned. I'm letting you do to them what they did to you. Understood?" Everyone nodded and one of the guys, called Rob, said "About time to, the fuckers need to be taught a lesson". The twins just stood with their heads facing the ground. They knew they had done some pretty shitty things to these guys over the past two or three years and it was now payback time. "Okay, over to you then" Luke said as he and Jason walked out of the barn with Gino who was still shaking from his ordeal and didn't want to be part of the revenge. Immediately Rob, Ian and the other guys sprang forward. They grabbed the twins and quickly bound their hands behind their backs. This was what they always did before they undertook their initiations. Rob was now ripping away at Tom's fleece jacket with a knife that had appeared from somewhere. "This is what you did to my brand new fleece when I joined you fucker" he was telling Tom as he ripped the jacket apart until it was falling from Tom's body. Another guy was doing a similar thing to Jim's and it wasn't long before that too was lying on the floor in ribbons. They then set about ripping off their shirts, followed by their T shirts beneath. The twins were soon naked to the waist and clearly shaking at the ferocity of what was being done to them. The guys then worked on their jeans and these too were ripped to ribbons and discarded on the floor. Their leather boots were removed and they too were cut into pieces with a knife until they were unrecognisable. The twins were now standing in their briefs and wondered what would happen next. Rob then moved in front of Tom and used his knife to rip the briefs off Tom. Ian was doing the same to Jim. The twins were now standing stark naked with their colleagues looking on. They were both feeling humiliated. Suddenly, Rob grabbed Tom by his hair and forced him to kneel down on the rough concrete. Tom felt the roughness graze his knees. Another guy had done the same to Jim and he too felt his knees scrape along the concrete as they pulled him into position. "You made me suck your cock" Rob was now shouting at Tom, "so now see what it's like to be forced to suck mine". Jason and Luke were mesmerised. They watched Rob and the other guy unfasten their jeans, pull out their cocks and thrust them into Tom and Jim's mouths which had been forced open by another guy. They then face fucked each of them and it wasn't long before the effect was visible. The two erect cocks were now being forced back and forth into the twins' mouths and they were grunting and groaning because of the force being used. They knew there was nothing they could do to stop what was happening and they also knew that if they dared bite the cocks in their mouths then worse would probably happen. They decided to go along with it in the same way as their victims had to do with them. Having given Tom's face a good long hard fuck with his cock, Rob then yanked Tom up by his hair to a standing position. The other guy did the same to Jim. "Right, let's see how these guys like being whipped against their will" Ian said moving forward. He then told the guys who were holding each of the twins to turn them round and bend them over a straw bale that had been moved into the arena. Ian then picked up a short leather whip he'd brought out with him. Ian told one of the guys holding Tom to press his face hard down into the straw bale. He then kicked Tom's legs wide apart and told the other guy to pull his balls through his legs and tie them with some rope. Whilst one guy pulled on the rope to expose the balls, Ian used the whip across his buttocks making sure that every so often he hit them. Tom screamed with pain but Ian wanted to give him a hard lesson that he'd not forget for a long time. Tom was whimpering and muttering `no please don't' as Ian continued the whipping even though he felt his own organ beginning to react. Tom's butt was now stinging and tears were now pouring out of his eyes as he felt each lash. He lost count how many times Ian did this but after twelve, Ian stopped saying that was what he'd done to him. He then reached between Tom's legs and squeezed his balls as this was something Tom had done to him. Tom screamed as the pain shot through his body. Ian then moved across to Jim and set to work on him. Tom was still held down with his face buried in the straw bale that was scratching his face. His arse was still high in the air for all his colleagues to see. He'd never been so humiliated in his whole life. Suddenly he heard his brother scream as Ian started whipping. Tom felt the pain every bit as much as his brother and he wept some more. He could hear his brother weeping and so wanted to comfort him. In between his tears, Jim was trying to say "no, stop, please don't" but Ian continued the whipping of Jim's backside. Finally he had given Jim twelve strokes, the same as he had done to Ian over a year ago. He'd never forgotten that day and probably never would but at least he was now getting his revenge. Just as Tom thought the assault on his backside was over and it was calming down, Ian suddenly whipped him again. "Fuck" Tom screamed as he again felt the pain shoot through his whole body. "This is for what you did to Gino earlier" Ian was now shouting at Tom, "you whipped him twenty times so that's what you're going to get with this". Finally Ian was finished and he heard his twin yell. He knew that he too was receiving the same treatment. Jim yelled and yelled with pain and the guy holding his head down pressed even more until the yells were so muffled they could hardly be heard. Tears were streaming out of his eyes but nobody could see them. At last their ordeal was over and they were pulled up by their hair to a standing position to face their colleagues. "So, do you have anything to say? Ian asked Tom. "I'm really sorry guys" Tom managed to say between his tears that were now falling down his face, "I really am". "Jim?" Ian then asked. "I'm sorry guys" Jim mumbled between his tears feeling as if his arse was on fire. "Okay guys, cut them loose and get off home" Ian said taking control of the situation. The twins' bondage was cut and they stood there looking at the pile of clothes on the floor. They were in ribbons and there was nothing that could be salvaged. "By the way" Ian then said as he saw them looking at the rags, "I will be asking Jason to deduct the cost of the clothes you ripped off Gino from your wages; meanwhile, get off home". "We don't have anything to wear" Jim whimpered as he picked up the remains of his. "You'll have to go home naked won't you" Ian replied smiling to himself as he watched the twins walk out of the barn and across the yard to where their car was parked. Tom pulled out an old overcoat from the back and pulled it round him before climbing into the driver's seat. Jim didn't have anything to pull round him so he just climbed in naked and huddled his arms across his chest to keep warm. He was now shivering from the cold and the shock of what had happened. "I suppose we deserved that" Jim said casually as Tom drove away. "Suppose so" Tom replied, "Think we'd better keep our dicks in our pants in future" he chuckled still feeling as if his backside was on fire. "Yeah, just stick to fucking birds" Jim giggled pulling some of his ragged clothes round him to try and keep warm. "Perhaps once we've had a hot bath we'll go out on the pull and see if we can find some pussy to fuck" Tom said. Jim was not sure he really wanted to do anything at present but as usual he just agreed to what his brother said. Fortunately they lived alone and in a cottage that was not that overlooked. Tom pulled off the road in front of the cottage and jumped out pulling the old coat round him to hide his nakedness. Once he'd opened the front door and looked up and down the street to make sure nobody was around or looking out their windows, he beckoned to his brother. Despite his butt feeling bruised and sore, he giggled as he watched his brother run naked from the car to the house. Back at the farm, Luke had gently led Gino to his car to take him to his cottage. "We need to do something about those cuts and grazes" he told Gino as he helped him into the car. Once they were home, he led Gino upstairs to the bathroom. He turned on the bath taps and as it filled he helped Gino undress. Josh had not yet returned so he concentrated on helping Gino who was still shaking from cold and shock. "Okay Gino, let's get you in the bath and get you cleaned up" Luke said as he almost lifted Gino into the large bath. The lad was so short and lightweight that he looked almost like a young boy even though Luke knew he was eighteen. Once he'd gently washed Gino's naked body and satisfied himself that he was no longer shaking from being cold, Luke lifted him out and dried him off. The lad was truly beautiful and Luke felt his own organ reacting. "Let's sort these cuts and grazes out" Luke said leading Gino into the spare bedroom. Once on the bed Luke inspected the affected areas. "Think you'll survive" Luke smiled once he'd applied antiseptic cream to each cut and graze. Gino grinned. It was the first time Luke had seen Gino smile and it made his organ twitch yet again. Luke then found him a T shirt and a pair of jeans to wear, although the jeans had to be turned up and tucked in at the waist to make them fit. He led him downstairs and gave him a brandy to calm his nerves. Gino really was a sweet guy and Luke was rapidly falling for him! Whilst Gino was slowly calming down and sipping the brandy, Josh returned home. Luke took him into the kitchen and quickly explained what had gone on at the farm during his absence. "I bet they felt totally humiliated" Josh said laughing when he heard what the others had planned for the twins even though he felt sorry for Gino. "Hopefully they will have learnt a valuable lesson from it" Luke grinned thinking back to what he and Jason had allowed. "Hi Gino" Josh said as he went into the living room to greet him, "Luke has been telling me all about your ordeal at the farm, I'm really sorry, you must have been really scared having two guys do that to you". Gino nodded and felt another tear begin to form in his eyes as his mind went back to earlier that afternoon. He liked sucking guys and S&M but it was the force and suddenness of it that had upset him the most. Josh sat beside Gino and placed a comforting hand on his leg. "Are you feeling okay now?" Josh asked although he could see Gino was not really. "I can't go back" Gino whispered. "What, to the farm you mean?" Josh asked. Gino shook his head from side to side and grabbed hold of Josh's hand as if that was going to make things better for him. "I don't feel I belong there; Jason and Ian are nice but the other guys tease me especially the twins." "I think you'll find the twins won't bother you again" Luke said, "I expect they'll keep their heads down from now on". Gino was not sure. He didn't trust the twins and apart from Ian he hadn't really got to know the other four guys despite them having been given the initiation treatment when they first joined. "If you don't go back to the farm, what will you do?" Josh asked seeing that Gino was not convinced by what Luke had said. Gino shook his head again, "I don't know" he said as tears began to run down his face. Josh immediately took him into his arms and patted his back, "Come on now, we don't want tears; they aren't worth it and Jason and Ian like you from what you say". "I like living here and I like the farm but I just don't feel I belong there" Gino said in between his sobs. "If I remember correctly Gino, you came from Southampton" Luke then said as he sat down on the other side of Gino and placed a hand on his shoulder, "Do you want to go back there?" Gino shook his head violently as he remembered what had happened to him there when it was first known he was gay. He'd been beaten up several times by the local bullies and in no way was he going to go back home and risk that again. After a few minutes of sobbing, he calmed down and told Luke and Josh more about his life story. Josh in particular felt sorry for the guy and pulled him into a closer hug. Gino put his arm round Josh and hugged him back. He felt safe with Josh and his warm body was very reassuring. He also liked Luke but he was the big boss! "You could come and work for me in my garden design business if you wanted" Josh said after a few minutes of pondering as he held Gino close to him. "Do you want more help then?" Luke asked Josh. "Yeah, that's why I was late back because Jacek and I were discussing two new jobs we've got today. He needs someone to help him with those and the one we're in the middle of doing. I don't want to do the physical work because of my hands" Josh explained. "Wow, business is booming" Luke exclaimed and then explained to Gino what Josh did and that he was also a pianist so had to be careful with his hands. Gino had heard about Josh's musical accomplishments and looked up at him with awe. "Could I really?" he then asked with sorrowful eyes. Josh melted as he looked into Gino's eyes and he felt his organ beginning to swell beneath his jeans. "Oh god, the guy is beautiful" Josh said to himself and for a moment wondered if he had in fact said it out loud. "If you'd like to" Josh eventually replied, "I'm sure you'll like Jacek, he's a lovely guy and good fun, and he's gay so no worry on that account". Gino gave one of his rare smiles and his face lit up. "Thank you" he replied, "I'd love to" and then leaned up to kiss Josh. Luke smiled to himself as he thought "You lucky bugger Josh!" "You could give it a try and see how you get on" Luke said, "and if you change your mind about the farm I'm sure Jason would love to have you back". Gino thanked Luke but he was sure he was going to prefer working for Josh. Josh told Gino that he'd take him over to the job they were working on the following morning and introduce him to Jacek. Luke said he'd call Jason and explain what was happening. He had a feeling Jason was not going to be pleased but there was nothing he could do. At least it was the quiet season so there was time to find a replacement if necessary. "Would you like to stay and have a meal with us Gino?" Luke then asked. Gino beamed another one of his smiles and said he would. He then said he'd like to go home and change since the clothes Luke had lent him were too big so it was agreed that Josh would run him round in the car to the room he rented in the village. As they got up to go, Luke grinned at Josh knowingly and noticed the bulge that had appeared in his jeans whilst Gino had been hugging him! ___________________________________________________________________________ The next chapter of 'The Pink Retreat' will be available shortly.
