Dickingson, at authorsix@hotmail.com Hanson Brothers Orgy It was the perfect March afternoon for Taylor to do some serious composing. Being an especially balmy day in Tulsa, his dad, Walker, had gone to play in the park with the youngest of the Hansons, three-year-old Mackee. His mom, Diana, had gone to the church hall with his two sisters, Jessica and Avery, to work on a charity drive, Isaac had gone cruising for girls, and Zac was over at a friends playing Nintendo. The first hour went by fast. Tay sat at his desk in the bedroom the three brothers shared, playing the new music he and his brothers had put together over the past month on his CD player as he composed the words to a new bubblegum song. Some promoters had suggested that the band was growing older and should branch out into some heavier types of music, but the fan mail was still coming in by the sac full and the boys were not about to change when they had a good thing going. Besides, Taylor sort of liked writing the sweet love songs that made up most of the boys' albums. Others could sing about drugs and violence and social injustices. That decision to stick with bubblegum and pop music was a personal preference of the three boys, but it also fit the Christian values the boys followed, values that their parents had fostered throughout all their lives. It also fit the image the band was trying to create out there in the dog-eat-dog world of music. They had created a niche for themselves, and Taylor was doing his best to pump out songs that kept the band at the top of the charts. Gradually time began to drag. Deciding to take a break, Taylor went into the kitchen and got a plate of his mom's brownies and a can of Mugg Root Beer and took them back to the bedroom. Unlocking his desk drawer and taking out a letter, he sprawled out on the middle bunk and began to read the worn, well-thumbed pages. A smile crossed his face as he read, and his hand slipped down to his cargo pants. Slipping his fingers under the waistband and then under the elastic band of his boxers, the fifteen-year-old began to fondle himself. It was the most recent letter from Taran and he had already read it several dozen times over the past three days, but he still got horny each time he read it. As he thought about their New Year's Eve together, the double date he and Taran had with the two boys from Florida that he had met, he wished that Taran lived closer so they could see each other more often. As he pictured in his mind the hot orgy the four of them had engaged in that night at the Holiday Inn, his cock grew firm with desire. He stroked his swollen dick and wished that it was Taran's fingers that were stroking him instead. Getting up and retrieving the pen and paper he was using to compose the band's next song, he began to write a reply. His sixteenth birthday was coming up in less than a week. Birthdays were always big family events in the Hanson household, but he was hoping he and Taran might find some time near it to celebrate themselves. It would be so cool if Taran and he could do something special for that day, like go to a concert or something. It would be so hot if The Counting Crows or The Spin Doctors were performing live somewhere near them. They could take in the concert and then find some place quiet and neck. God he loved the way that Taran kissed. He closed his eyes and pictured the two of them kissing, and then the hot 69 he and Taran had last engaged in. It had been more than two months since that double date but the tastes and smells of the four horny teenagers that hot night were still vivid in his mind. It was while he was thinking about those tastes and smells that Zac came bursting into the room, much like Kramer did on Ike's favourite show, Seinfeld. Christian brotherhood and all that shit was great, but he hated sharing a room with his brothers. You could never have any time alone, and nothing of yours was private. Zac and Ike were always borrowing paper and taking his pens and pencils, because he was neat and they knew where to find things compared to the pig sty they chose to live in. Whereas Ike's posters of Seinfeld and Single Guy were crooked and posted haphazardly on the bulletin board in front of his desk, and Zac's pictures of his fav show, the Animaniacs, were scattered all over his desk and the floor, Tay's own posters of his fav bands, the Counting Crows and the Spin Doctors, were all neatly arranged on his board. He was lucky to have them posted. His brothers used his crazy putty to post up their own posters so when he went to put something up himself it was usually all gone. Zac was even known to go into his underwear drawer and take his underwear on occasion, which could be a major pain if one was going out and expecting to find a clean pair in the drawer. The only way you could keep anything private was locking it in your desk drawer, and there was only so much that a drawer could hold. "Hey, you working on that song?" Zac asked excitedly as he bounded over to the triple bunk bed. "Yes," Taylor replied, quickly shuffling the letter he was writing under the rest of the papers. "Whatcha hiding?" "I'm not hiding anything." "Are too." "Am not." "Are too asshole," Zac said, making a grab for the papers. "You're the asshole," Taylor retorted, yanking the papers away. "Now get out of here and let me work." "It a letter to a girl?" "None of your business." "Ah, you are hiding something," Zac said, jumping up and down and grabbing left and right with both his hands at the papers. "Zac!" "Tay's got a girlfriend, Tay's got a girlfriend," the thirteen-year-old teased as he made a grab with one hand and then with the other, bouncing around this brother all the while, his long blond hair swaying across his face as he bobbed and wove. He shrieked with excitement as he finally managed to grab the papers and he quickly bounded away. Tay was immediately on his feet and chasing him about the room. "Give those back, right now, this instant!" "Nyea, nyeah," teased Zac, far too agile and quick to be caught that easily. "Ah hah, here it is!" he exclaimed with joy. "... how I wish that we could be together again, so I could feel your smooth, naked body pressed against mine, so I could feel your heartbeat as we snuggle close, so I could taste your sweet lips." Zac looked up at his brother, his eyes wide with appreciation as he continued to dodge him. "Oh wow, that is so freaking hot! Always said you were a fantastic writer. Who is she?" he asked, turning to the first page. "Zac! Goddamn you!" Tay cursed as he grabbed the papers out of Zac's hands. That was the worst swear that anyone could utter in the very strict and religious Hanson household. "Taran?" Zac asked, his hazel-brown eyes widening. "A guy?" Tay sat back on the bottom bunk, Ike's bunk. He had gotten a hold of the papers too late. The secret was out. In a way he felt relieved that someone else knew, even if it had to be his kid brother. He had hated having to keep the fact he was gay a secret, especially from those that he loved the most. On the other hand, at that moment he had a terrible sinking feeling. Zac was such a wild one, and he had such a big mouth. He knew that now that Zac knew, it would only be a matter of time before he blabbed it all over. He would never do it intentionally, but Tay could envision hundreds of situations where his kid brother would inadvertently blurt it out. Tay looked up at his thirteen-year-old brother, uncertain what to say. Zac was standing there beside the triple bunk bed surprisingly calm and motionless. The discovery was evidently quite a shock for him to stand still. Normally he wouldn't be able to stand motionless for even just a minute. He sat down beside Tay. "Is it Taran Smith?" "Yes." "He's cool." "He's more than cool, he's the greatest there is," Tay replied, looking at his brother. "You're in love with him." "Yes." "That's so cool!" "You okay with that?" "Sure. I've never actually known anyone who was gay before." "Well, now you do. You really don't have a problem having a gay brother?" "Heck no. I think its way cool." "You can't go blabbing something like that to everyone," Taylor warned. "Who knows? Like does the rest of the family know?" "You are the only one." "Way cool. So, you and Taran do stuff, like have sex and stuff?" "That is rather private, Zac." "Com'on, you can tell me." "Zac, some things you don't tell even your brothers." "But you do have the hots for him," Zac commented, making it more of a statement of fact than a question. "Yes." Zac suddenly reached over and grabbed Tay between the legs before Tay could stop him. Zac was always doing things like that, jumping him or Ike, suddenly giving them a punch or wrestling with them. "Oh wow, you're sprung." Taylor immediately flushed a bright red as he pushed his brother's hand away. Zac only attacked again with all the more energy now that he had a target and a purpose. "Zac, stop that!" "Let me see it! It feels big. I've never seen another guy with a bone on before." "Zac!" "Com'on. Let me see. I'll show you mine." "You sprung?" Tay asked, not because he was interested in seeing his brother's, but more because he was surprised. He had never thought of his thirteen-year-old brother in a sexual way before. The thought of his younger brother with an erection just seemed out of place. "No, but I can get sprung. It only takes a second," Zac said with a grin. "Just how much do you know about that sort of thing?" "I know enough." "You, well, you've played with yourself?" "Aw, com'on, I am thirteen!" "Yeah, all of thirteen and four months." "Com'on, Tay, I wanna see it," Zac said excitedly, bouncing all around his brother. "Hey, I know, lets jerk off together. Oh man, that would be wild jerking off together!" Taylor thought about that for a moment. Jerking off was something private, or something that two lovers did together. It was not something that two boys did just to pass the time. He tried to picture what his brother would look like jerking off. It was difficult to imagine. "Com'on, it would be so hot jerking off with someone else. I've never done that with anyone before." Tay considered it. Jerking off did feel great, and he was horny, and doing it with his brother was not all that bad an idea. He did love him, in a brotherly way, and they did do a lot of things together. Besides, he knew there was going to be no changing Zac's mind now that he had thought about it. Once his kid brother put his mind to something, he was like a little bulldog until it was done. "All right." Tay had no sooner agreed than Zac pushed down the blue jogging pants he'd been wearing and then his white jockey briefs, revealing his small, boyish penis. His hairs were so blond and so sparse and short, his pubes were practically hairless. Tay wondered if maybe he had made a mistake as Zac sat down on the lower bunk. He had been half a year older himself before he had first masturbated, almost fourteen. "Well, com'on," Zac said eagerly. "Take it out!" Taylor unbuttoned the top of his cargo pants and unzipped the fly. He felt weird pushing down his pants with his brother sitting there fondling his little penis and watching him. He felt even weirder pushing down his boxers. Taylor smiled to himself. At least he wasn't wearing girls' panties! That was another secret that very few knew about the hot blond singer. "Oh wow, oh yeah, nice one Tay!" shouted Zac as he looked at the stiff cock sticking up along Tay's flat stomach. Over the past year his dick had been growing steadily and was now just an eighth of an inch less than six inches. "Oh man, you got thick hairs too!" As Zac stared at his older brother's genitals, he continued playing with his limp penis. Taylor sat down beside his brother and watched. Zac's penis looked so small, and with almost no hairs, it looked so babyish. It might have been small, but it did not take long to get erect. His four and a half inches soon stuck out perpendicular to his body. Like his brother, he was cut, and what remained of his skin was pealed back off the head to form a collar below the knob. Whereas Taylor's knob had a purplish tinge to it, Zac's was only a few shades of pink darker than the rest of his boy cock. "So, how you do jerk?" Zac asked. "I don't mean how as in I don't know how to do it, I mean how do you do it, like what is your style? Do you use your fist or just your thumb and first two fingers? I have a friend who says he just uses his thumb and first finger. I wanted him to show me but he chickened out. I'm sure he does it though. Others probably do it, but he's the only one I've ever talked to about it, except now you today. Have you been doing it long? Like I've been doing it since the fall, when Blake told me how. He was going to show me, but then his mom came home and we never got around to it." Taylor smiled. Trust his brother to even turn something as personal and as erotic as this into an ongoing monologue. "Put a sock in it Zac," he finally said. "Hey, I know a guy who says his big brother jerks off in a sock. Wouldn't that be gross, putting your sock over it, I mean, even if it was clean? What would really be gross would be forgetting you used your sock and putting it on in the morning," he giggled. "I be ." "Zac," Taylor said firmly. "Okay, I'll shut up," Zac said as he slowly worked his fingers up and down his little cock, forming a "U" with them rather than closing them into a fist as Taylor did. Besides that, he rubbed loosely so that he ran his fingers up and down over the shaft and knob without moving the foreskin, whereas Taylor drew his skin up and down over his knob with each jerk cycle. "Oh man, this is so hot jerking off together! Do you come fast? I come fast. I don't mean to, I just do. Isn't it so hot ." "Zac, what do I have to do to shut you up for one minute." "One minute, that all it takes you? I've done it in one minute. Once when I was thinking of ." "One more word and I'm pulling up my boxers and pants and going back to composing." Zac put a hand over his mouth and continued to pump on his cock. The two brothers sat there side by side, their long blond hair brushing their shoulders as they bowed their heads and concentrated on what they were doing. Their eyes glistened in the sunlight streaming through the bedroom window as the pleasure spread through their groins. They were concentrating so hard they did not hear the noise downstairs, nor the door to their room opening. "Oh shit! What are the two of you doing?" The two brothers jumped at the sound of Isaac's voice, Taylor hitting his head on the bottom of the middle bunk. They sat there with their pants and underwear about their ankles, their cocks still in their hands. Zac was still stiff but the shock had caused Taylor to go limp. "Geez, Ike, you don't know?" responded Zac. "It's called jacking off, and it is way cool. You should try it." The twinkle in his hazel-brown eyes made it very clear that he was joking about his oldest brother not knowing about that very basic fact in every boy's life. "And on my bunk of all places!" Isaac said, closing the door and stepping into the room. "Well, it's not our fault you claimed the bottom bunk," Taylor replied. "Hey, we could do it in my bunk," said Zac. "That would be way cool! Jerking off and shooting it out from up there! How far you think we could shoot from the top bunk? It would be so cool to see it shooting into the air and then falling all that way to the floor. I once tried to see how far I could shoot it when I was taking a shower. You guys ever do that? It's way cool if you haven't." "Doing it is one thing, but Tay, doing it with Prozac? How can you stand the chatter?" Ike asked, as slight grin curling his thin lips. "I hadn't planned on doing it with him, believe me," said Taylor. "I swear if he ever took up the offer some of the fans make to help him lose his virginity, the girl would probably leave half way through because of his incessant babbling." "So what happened, you walked in and caught Prozac beating his meat?" "I caught Tay," interjected Zac. "You were jerking it off?" asked Isaac with surprise as he looked at Taylor. "No way," he replied, giving Zac an accusing glare. "I didn't catch him jerking. I caught him writing a love letter." "Zac!" warned Taylor, giving him a severe glare. "Ah," said Isaac. "So the 'no I don't have a girlfriend yet' member of the band has finally fallen for someone huh? Who is she?" "Isn't a she," giggled Zac. "Zac, dammit, shut up for once in your fucking life!" Isaac and Zac glanced at each other and then at their flushed, glaring brother. Taylor did not explode like that. Of the three, he was the quiet, shy one, always cool and collected while everyone else was running about crazy. Besides, in their household such obscenities would have been punished by washing the person's mouth out with a bar of soap. Even Ike would have even punished even though he was eighteen now. That sort of thing was not tolerated in a Christian household. For Tay to swear like that, he had to be very upset. "Not a she?" Isaac asked. "You'd never guess." "Zac, why the hell don't you just stand on the roof and announce it to the whole fucking neighbourhood?" "One of those two boys he spent New Year's Eve with, the ones from Florida he met when the one won that contest," suggested Ike, ignoring Tay's outburst. "Unh-un, but he did spend New Year's Eve with him." "Taran?" Isaac asked in surprise. "All right, yeah, Taran," Taylor said. "I love Taran Smith. I'm gay, there, you happy Zac?" "Yeah, I'm happy. But I'm not gay, that's you," Zac giggled and he bounced up and down on the bottom bunk in excitement as he laughed at his play on words. "So what does any of that have to do with me finding the two of you sitting here jerking off on my bed?" "Tay had a bone on, and I wanted to see it, and well, we decided to jack off." "Just like that?" "Yeah," agreed Zac. "Well, not exactly, but close enough," commented Taylor. "So why don't you join us, Ike?" asked Zac. "The three of us, together, wouldn't that be awesome." "Maybe for you," observed Isaac. "Aw, com'on, do it with us. It'd be cool. Mom and Dad are always telling us we should do things together!" "I don't think that is what they had in mind," observed Taylor with a slight smile. "They didn't say not to do it," Zac countered. "Well, no, of course not." "So let's," said Zac jumping to his feet. "Let's all do it together! Com'on Ike. I bet yours is huge when it's sprung." Taylor looked up at Isaac. The three boys had seen each other naked plenty of times, when they stripped and put on their pajamas for bed, when they stripped in the lockers in the swimming pool, but never had they seen each other with an erection. Even though the three of them had grown up together and lived and slept in the same room all their lives, Tay had never thought about his brothers in sexual terms. They were brothers after all! Oh sure, he knew that in some porn stories the older brother taught the younger brother all about sex, and the brothers got it on together and all that. This was real life, and doing anything sexual with his brother was like thinking of doing something sexual with his father, or mother for that matter. That just wasn't something you thought about. At least it wasn't something he thought about. Isaac looked at first one and then the other. "Why not," he finally said, unbuttoning the top of his 501's and pulling down his fly. "But not on my bunk." "Let's do it standing up facing each other," suggested Zac. "Naked!" Without waiting for a response, he stepped out of his jogging pants and underwear and pulled off his socks. Isaac was pushing down his jeans, and he pushed them right down and stepped out of them. One of his socks came off as he stepped out of the leg, and the other he removed. Zac raised his jogging top and pulled it off over his head. "Com'on, Tay, you're way behind," the naked thirteen-year-old urged. Tay stepped out of his pants and underwear, and began to unbutton his shirt. Isaac was already doing so, revealing a broad, muscular chest and a good beginning of light brown chest hair for being eighteen. Soon all three Hansons were standing buck naked in the middle of their bedroom. "This is so fucking cool," said Zac excitedly. "I just can't wait to see your bone, Ike! Geez, I bet you hav ." "Prozac, you continue talking and I'm dressing and walking right out that door," Tay said. "All right, all right, I won't talk. But you guys hurry up and get hard." Taylor and Isaac reached down and began to fondle themselves. Under the circumstances, it did not take long to get erect. The three brothers stood there in a circle and began to jerk off. Zac, five foot three and nine-nine pounds, was the shortest and lightest of the three, but chubbier, although now that he'd entered his teen years he was beginning to lose his baby fat, and his face was starting to take on the more mature look of a teenager. His testicles were huge and round, the two together the size and shape of a golden plum, wrinkled, slightly browner than the rest of his skin, and totally devoid of hair. The few pubic hairs that he had, formed a tiny pale blond bush just above his penis, making his crotch and groin appear childlike. He jerked his four-and-a-half inch penis with his preferred grip, a loose "U" shape with his fingers and thumb. Taylor stood to his right, six inches taller and twenty-five pounds heaver. Only a week away from his sixteenth birthday, he had the fine, small-boned features of a girl. Those fine facial features, combined with his baby blue eyes, long lashes and long blond hair gave him an effeminate look. Many fifteen-year-old-girls were as flat chested as he was, though on him the graceful contours and slim waist made him very attractive. There were plenty of girls, and guys, who would love to caress that smooth, hairless chest, and to fondle those small, pink rosebuds. There were many boys, and just as many men, who would have given anything to caress his small, rounded butt. Grasping his erection with his fist, he worked his skin up and down over the knob slowly as he watched his two brothers. At five-foot-eleven and a hundred-and-forty-five pounds, Isaac was the tallest and heaviest of the three brothers, but his tall, lanky frame made him look gangly. When he sucked in his stomach, he was so thin you could see his ribs. His cock matched the rest of his body, long and slender, seven-and-a-half inches of hot rigid bone. Having brown hair, it was much more visible than the hair of his two blond brothers. He had hairy balls, a thick wedge of pubic hair extending up over his stomach, and a fine line that went up the centre of his chest to another patch of fine hair across the top of his pecs. He also had fine long hair under his arms. Ike jerked off also by forming a fist, but he grasped his huge cock by the base and mostly jerked off by tugging on the bottom half of his shaft rather than rubbing up and down its entire length. As the three boys pumped their organs, each with their own style, they grew silent as they concentrated on the pleasure rippling through their swollen cockheads. They stared down at their swollen dicks with great anticipation of what was about to happen and stole glaces at each other to see how they were coming along. Their breaths grew heavier, and their eyelids began to droop as the tension in their groins and the pleasure rippling through their knobs demanded their full attention. All you could hear in the room was their heavy breathing and the flapping of their fists. One by one the three horny teenagers absent-mindedly tightened their sphincters and relaxed them as they approached their climax. "Ts-ts-ts-ts-ts-ts-ts-ts-ts," Zac rattled, holding his cock at the base and aiming it like a machine gun as he swung in an arch. "Rata-tata-tata-tata," he shouted excitedly as he swung around in the opposite direction. As he made the quarter circle arch back, he came, spraying his two brothers with his hot young boy cum. Gobs of his semen struck and spattered Taylor's chest and landed in Isaac's chest hair. He swung back again, cum continuing to squirt out of his irritated cockhead. It struck Tay and Ike in the stomach and began to ooze down toward each boy's crotch. "Zac!" shouted Taylor in surprise. "You little idiot!" "You really are an animal, you know," Taylor panted. Zac said nothing as he grinned at his two brothers and the sight of his cum spattered on their bodies. His little boner oozed out the last of his creamy white cum, which flowed down over his clenched fingers and over his tight little nuts. His smooth pink cheeks were flushed and his eyes were glazed over with the pleasure of ejaculation. His spraying of his two brothers had been so sudden and unexpected, they hadn't stopped jerking off, and Zac stood there now watching them. He still had an erection, finding it so erotic to be watching his two older brothers wanking on their dicks for the very first time in his life. He wondered which would come first. He did not have to wait long to find out. "Take this little brother," gasped Taylor as he suddenly thrust his hips forward. His cum spurted out and struck his brother's left nipple in a gooey, white gob which quickly oozed down over the boyish mound of his chest and down his side, leaving behind a clear slime trail. Tay aimed several shots at Zac's smooth, flat stomach, and then spun around and spattered Ike's stomach with his hot boy juice as the force subsided. Without a word, Ike began to cum, spinning in an arch also, and squirting his thick creamy load on his two younger brothers. Ike being the tallest, his cum struck his two brothers the highest, hitting Tay across the top of his smooth, hairless chest and striking Zac on his cheek. He either had not been getting his nuts off lately, or they were particularly productive, because he squired out at least half a dozen thick shots before the force subsided and his cum began to ooze over his clenched fist. Finally the three teenage brothers stood there, spattered and streaked with white and semi- translucent cum. It clung in whitish gobs and the thinner shots had oozed down their hot, young bodies. The backs of their right fingers were streaked with the last dribbles. The odour of freshly spilt cum filled the room, and as the three boys inhaled deeply it filled their lungs. Tay stepped in someone's blob that had landed on the carpet and felt the warm, sticky goo ooze between his toes. "That was even more fun than going to Laser Quest," Zac observed, referring to one of their favourite pastimes. The three boys grinned. Zac was right. An idea suddenly hit Tay. Bending over, he stuck out his tongue and lapped up the creamy shot of cum on Zac's nipple. Zac giggled and bending his head, began to lick up the warm puddle of cum on Ike's stomach. Ike licked up the thick gob that had struck Tay where his collar bones made a V below his neck. The three brothers moved on to other cum spots as they began to lick each other clean. Three hot, moist tongues lapped up the boy cream on each other's body, none of them having any idea if the cum they were licking up was from their brothers' or their own. The licking turned into an oral orgy. Having licked Zac clean, Tay began to lick and suck on Zac's teat, causing it to form a hard little bud and making his youngest brother squirm and sigh with the new erotic pleasure. Ike meanwhile had squatted down and was licking Taylor's arm pit. The fifteen-year-old had not yet started to get pit hairs, and feeling his brother's hot, moist tongue licking him there caused him to start getting a bone. Zac had managed to twist around and was licking and nibbling on his oldest brother's ear like he had seen lovers do on television. The boys eventually dropped down onto the thick carpet and formed a tight circle. Zac was laying on his back with his head resting on Ike's broad, hairy chest, Ike's nipple in his mouth. Zac sucked on the hard teat and darted his tongue against it, causing Ike to tremble with the sensation and causing his cock to begin to stiffen again. Zac was also beginning to get aroused as he ran the fingers of his right hand through Ike's chest hair and the fingers of his left hand through his curly pubic bush as he sucked on his teat. Crouched on his hands and knees, Taylor was licking Zac's feet. As he ran his tongue up and down along the backs he inhaled the unique odour of sneaker leather and unwashed teen feet, causing his saliva to flow copiously. He ran his tongue over Zac's tightly pressed toes, wedging his tongue between them. He slipped his lips over the large toe and sucked on it, causing Zac to suck harder on Ike's teat. The thirteen-year-old squirmed with arousal as his brother sucked on each of his toes inturn. He had no idea that feet could be so erotic. Ike had propped himself up on his left arm behind Tay and had been caressing his buttocks with his right hand. He now slipped his fingers along Tay's sweaty ass crack. Pausing at his hole, he rubbed it with his index finger, causing Tay to squirm and to open and close his sphincter with desire. Ike leaned forward, and sniffing Tay's butthole and finding the musky odour enticing, he dared to stick out his tongue and run it along the smooth, hairless crack. Encouraged by only a slightly salty taste, he began to tongue Tay's pucker. Tay responded by opening his sphincter and Ike inadvertently slid his tongue into Tay's asshole. Much to his surprise he found sticking his tongue up his brother's ass a major turn-on. So did Taylor as he squirmed and sighed with pleasure. Ike darted his tongue in and out of the musky hole, delighting in the taste, and delighting in the knowledge that he was turning his younger brother on also. All three brothers were getting hot, and soon the three horny teens were sprung again. Tay lay flat on his back in the middle of the room. Zac stretched out on his right and Ike on his left, the two brothers laying in opposite directions to Tay. As they began to lick his smooth, loosely-hung nuts, Tay grabbed a few pillows so he could prop himself up and watch his two brothers. Young Zac began to run his tongue up Tay's stiff dick. Ike began to run his tongue up the other side. Tay's pecker jerked spontaneously with the sensation of two hot tongues running up its length, and with the sight of his younger and older brothers lapping at his joy stick. Over and over they licked his cock from base to tip, and soon the first droplet of precum emerged at the slit. Zac was the quickest and lapped up the clear, sweet drop with the pointed tip of his tongue. Tay had plenty more and the next droplet was quickly licked up by Ike. The two bothers alternated, lapping up their brother's sweet precum and caressing Tay's cockslit with their tongues to coax out more. Tay's body readily responded and oozed out more of his natural lube. Tay began to breathe heavier as his cockhead began to tingle and his groin began to ache. Never had he felt so aroused, not even during his hottest moments with Taran. He trembled as he felt the pressure building up in his nuts. His two brothers saw them beginning to draw up tight under the base of his cock and they knew what was going to happen. They began to lick Tay's cock with their hot tongues even more eagerly, running them up and down his shaft, over the sensitive skin under the knob, and around the sensitive edge of his glans. Tay finally let out a moan and thrust his hips up as his cum rushed up the core of his aroused dick and spurted out like a fountain. His thick, creamy cum shot into the air and back down, striking his stiff cock and running down the sides. Spurt after violet spurt shot out of him to fall back down on his throbbing prick and balls. Zac and Ike began to lap up the warm, sticky boy cream, running their tongues from the base of his dick to the fountaining tip and swallowing his delicious thick cum. They licked it off his now tight, hard nuts and sucked it out of his hairs. His cum continued to flow out of his dick and they caught it as it oozed down his shaft and licked it back up to the slit in his cockhead. They finally took turns sucking on his flushed, purplish knob and drawing out the remainder of his cum. Finally the three brothers lay back on the floor with satisfied grins, two of them moist and cum-streaked. Spotting Ike's towering seven-and-a-half inches of thick cock, Tay swung around and began to lick it. Zac quickly joined him and the two began to lick Ike just as Ike and Zac had licked Tay. Ike smiled as he watched his two younger brothers lapping at his big, circumcised cock, like two little blond-haired puppies licking a fresh bone. Starting at the base, they ran their tongues along his shaft, one on each side, and then up over his spongy mushroom cap to his slit, and then the two horny teenagers slowly licked back down to the base of his throbbing dick. Their long blond hair fell across his lap as the two worked on his cock, and he sighed with the pleasure their hot, moist tongues were bringing him. It was a totally new experience for the eighteen-year-old, and it felt fantastic. Their hot breath against his cock and balls and against his stomach, and the silky caresses of their hair as they worked up and down eagerly on his cockmeat soon had Ike squirming with the need to shoot. Reaching down and holding his cock perpendicular to his body so his cum would fountain just like Tay's had, he moaned in ecstasy as his cum began to erupt. Like Tay's, it shot up into the air and fell back down on his cockhead and oozed down his shaft. Tay and Zac immediately began to lick it up, their red, moist tongues flipping his creamy load into their eager mouths, leaving behind thread-thin streamers of cum and spittle between their mouths and Ike's cock. His cum was thick and creamy and bitter-sweet and the two boys eagerly swallowed their older brother's seed. It clung to their teeth and the roof of their mouth, and left thin little streamers over their chins. Tay slipped his mouth over the knob of his older brother and sucked and Ike rewarded him with a dollop of thick cum. As he slipped his lips off and savoured the offering, Zac took his turn sucking on the perverse fountain, and was likewise rewarded for his efforts with the remainder of Ike's hot cream. Zac and Tay finally sat back and wiped their sticky chins with the backs of their hands. Ike and Tay exchanged glances and then looked over at Zac. Zac's young thirteen-year-old cock was stiff and jutting up at a ninety-degree angle, and Zac was eager to have his turn. The youngster lay on his back and propping himself up on his elbows, he willingly let his two older brothers have at him. It was so hot watching the two of them licking his balls and his little four- and-a-half inches of young boy cock. It was not long before it was slimy and glistening with their spittle and the two older brothers were lapping up each others spit in their eagerness to bring their younger brother off. Zac held off as long as he could, enjoying the burning, itchy sensation about his cockhead and the aching in his nuts. Jacking himself off had never felt as good as this, and now that he knew what it was like and that his brother Taylor was gay, he was going to make this a regular part of his life. When he could no longer hold it back, he threw his head back and with an animal yell, let loose. His cock jerked erratically, causing his cum to fly everywhere. It shot in the air and landed back on his smooth hairless stomach. Tay immediately bent over, and placing lips over the hot fresh blob, sucked it up. The next glob had landed on the inside of his thigh and Ike had immediately begun lapping it up. The third stuck Tay on the cheek while he was still sucking on Zac's heaving stomach, and the fourth landed on Ike's neck. Tay and Ike returned to Zac's irritated cocklet and licked up the rivulets of creamy cum still flowing from his slit. The thirteen- year-old's nuts were as full of cum as he was full of energy. Zac squirmed with the bolts of pleasure ripping through his cockhead as his two older brothers licked the cum from it and then slipped their hot mouths over his little cock and sucked him dry. Ike finally licked up the dollop of cum on Tay's cheek, and Tay bent his head and sucked up the glob on Ike's neck. The three boys lay back for a long time, recovering their breath and enjoying the warm flush of having cum. Their hot, naked bodies were streaked with spittle and a few remnants of their boy juices that had gone unnoticed. "Shit, that was fantastic," sighed Tay finally. "Yeah, I haven't come so violently in years," agreed Ike. "Fucking far out," agreed Zac. "Definitely wild." "You guys hungry?" asked Zac. "I've worked up an appetite." "I could use some ice cream to cool down." "And some of Mom's brownies." Zac got up and scooted out of the room while his two brothers piled up the pillows to make themselves more comfortable on the floor. Zac soon returned with three soup bowls heaping with ice cream and a plate of chocolate brownies. "So, Tay, how long has this thing been going on between you and Taran," asked Ike as he took a heaping scoop of vanilla ice cream, his fav flavour, although after today cum just might surpass his flavour preferences. "If you don't mind me asking." "Since last February, just over a year ago. We ran into each other down town actually, and well, things just connected." "What's the favourite way for the two of you to connect?" asked Zac, his lips now coated with chocolate ice cream instead of cum. "Zac, that's personal," admonished his oldest brother. "You don't ask things like that." "Ah, com'on, what do you like to do the best? You like sucking or fucking or what?" "Well, to tell the truth, I like it all. Just being with Taran makes me feel good all over. It doesn't really matter what we do, or even if we do anything." "Cool." "What about you Ike? Any luck making out yet?" "No," he frowned. "Have had a lot of good feels, and some hot kissing and necking, but no fucking, though I'm sure it is going to happen any day now." "Yeah? With whom? You've been dating a number of girls." "A gentleman never tells that sort of thing," he smiled. "Well, whoever it is, she's in for a big treat," Tay observed, looking down at his brother's now limp but still impressive cock. "You ever done stuff with guys before?" asked Zac. "Never. Well, way back when I was about your age I jerked off with Jeremy." "Jeremy?" "We were both curious and horny and had heard about jerking. So, we decided to see what the fuss was all about. We were over at his house and just sat on his bed and jerked ourselves off. We didn't do each other." "You like what we just did?" asked Zac. "It was hot, real hot, but I have to say it's not my thing. Doing stuff with guys I mean. Nothing personal Tay. I'm just a hetero sort of guy." "I've never done nothing with a girl, but I'd sure like to," observed Zac. "I'd like to try everything with a girl, jerking, sucking, fucking. I like both guys and girls I think. Today's the first time I've ever done anything with anyone else though. It was really hot. It's way better than just jerking off by yourself. I'd do stuff with a guy any day." "Prozac, you'd probably even like animals," joked Tay. "Think we can talk Mom and Dad into getting us a dog? A German Shepard, a male of course. Or maybe a cute calf?" grinned Zac. "You're impossible." "So if Tay is gay hey, maybe we could do a song," said Zac. Leaping to his feet, he began to slap a tune on his bare thighs as he swung his hips. His now limp dick swung in time with his movements. "Tay is gay, Ta-ay, is ga-ay, hey-ey, yeah." "Don't think so little brother." "So, if you're like gay and Ike is like straight, what do you call it if a guy likes both." "Bi," explained Ike. "Bisexual." "Then that's what I am. Bisexual. Cool." "So, Tay, how you feel about being gay?" asked Ike. "How do you feel about me being gay?" Tay replied, looking at first Ike and then Zac. "I think its cool. Now whenever I feel like being sucked, I got my own cocksucker right in the bunk below me," replied Zac with a wide grin as he bounced from one foot to the other. "Zac," said Ike, giving his kid brother a 'shape up and shut up look'. "All right, I'm joking," said Zac, sitting back down and licking the rest of the ice cream from the bowl. "I'm cool with it. I mean, you're my brother. I still love you and all that. In fact I think I love you more. I think it is way cool about you and Taran." "Same here," said Ike. "And you being gay doesn't change my feelings about you." "When did you first know, that you were gay?" "Well, I've always preferred being with guys rather than girls, all my life. When I jerked off I always thought about guys, but I didn't make much out of it. It really wasn't until I met Taran and we had sex together that I really thought about it." "So, like, when we undress for bed and stuff, does that turn you on?" asked Zac. He ducked as Ike gave him that look again and tried to give him a tap on the back of the head. "No, I've never thought of you guys sexually. You're my brothers." "Well, the hottest boys in America and we didn't turn you on," Ike said with a mock pout. "What about those two guys from Florida?" "Well, you have to admit, Mico is one hot looking dude." "Will have to take your word for it," said Ike. "And Mico's boyfriend Zak, well, he and I look so much alike, it's like having sex with your twin." "Going to see them again?" "Yeah, maybe sometime. We don't have any plans." "I know there's a lot of singers and actors who are gay," observed Ike. "So it's not as if you're alone. Mom and Dad might have a hard time with this though." "Not a word to them," said Tay, suddenly alarmed as he thought about his parents. They were always supportive and understanding, but this was something big. "You hear me, Prozac." "Hey, I might be blond but I'm not dumb. I won't say anything." "Not intentionally, but your mouth sometimes doesn't know when to stop." "Like when it's sucking up your stuff, and Ike's. Mmmm, that was so hot," Zac grinned. "I had no idea cum tasted so good." "It was hot," agreed Tay with a grin. "Yeah, I have to admit watching you two licking on my pole was a major blast," Ike observed. "It sure made you blast," Zac said with a wide grin and a sparkle in his eyes that would have made his fans swoon. The three brothers glanced at each other, and then at the alarm clock on Tay's desk. "When is the rest of the family coming back?" "Mom and the girls won't be back until five." "Dad said he'd probably be back around then too." The boys looked at each other again as each felt a stirring in their groins. Tay finished off the last of the brownies and licked the chocolate off his fingers. "Anyone want more to eat?" asked Zac. "Ice cream, brownies, my dick?" The two brothers tossed their pillows at their kid brother. He immediately picked them up and tossed them back, resulting in a brief, impromptu pillow fight. "Speaking of brownies, licking your butt hole was hot," observed Ike as he leaned back against the wall and looked at Tay. "I don't know what made me do that, but it really turned me on." "Turned me on too," Tay said with a smile. "Can guys really, well, you know, fuck each other up the ass?" asked Zac. "Oh yeah," said Tay with a sigh that left no doubt how he felt about that, or how he knew. "They can," he said with a dreamy look in his deep blue eyes. "Even if they have a huge one like Ike?" he asked incredulously. "That would hurt." "Oh, I don't think so," said Tay as he looked at his older brother's slowly rising dick. "Not with some lubrication." "Like?" asked Ike. "I have KY jelly in my drawer." "Well, I'm game if you are." Tay quickly went to his drawer and took out the KY jelly. "So that's what you keep locked up in there," grinned Zac. "And all this time you thought that was where he locked up his jelly beans," laughed Ike. "Have them in there too," grinned Tay. "If I didn't you two would have them eaten up." "Well, the blue ones anyway," observed Zac. "And the green," added Ike. Tay handed Ike the tube of lubricant and Ike squeezed a dollop of the clear jell on the tip of his index finger as Tay got on his hands and knees and bent over. "Come help me, Prozac," Ike said to his kid brother. Zac readily crawled over and spread apart Tay's smooth, round asscheeks to reveal his little pink butthole. Ike reached up and spread open the hole with his left hand as he placed the greased tip of his right index finger against it. He easily slipped the dollop of lube into Tay's hole. Squeezing out more, he added another dollop, and then slowly eased his index finger into the quivering opening. It easily slipped inside and Tay squirmed with the delightful sensation. "Oh shit, that is so awesome," observed Zac. "You've got your finger inside him. What does it feel like? That is so wild! How far you going to stick it in?" Ike ignored Zac's comments as he slid his finger in to the first knuckle and then drew it back out. Greasing his finger with KY again, he once more slipped it in, this time easing it right up as far as he could go. "Use two fingers, and finger fuck me," Tay requested. Ike applied a strip of KY to his middle finger and then slowly eased both fingers up Tay's butt. Tay easily accepted both fingers. He squirmed with the sensation as Ike began working his fingers in and out and he could not wait until his brother slipped his big, thick cock up his asshole. All three boys were soon erect. Ike finally took a dollop of KY and began to grease his pole, coating the thick knob and then the shaft with lube. He did not want to hurt his brother, and he did not want any pain himself. Ike finally knelt behind Tay, his greased pole jutting out at a forty-five-degree angle and eager for more fun. He placed the tip of his cock against Tay's greased opening and slowly eased forward. Tay strained to accept his brother's thick knob. He was experienced and his hole had been fucked enough times by then that it was used to being penetrated. Between that and the generous grease job, Ike had little difficulty slipping the head of his cock into his brother's opening. Ike was thicker than any boy who had preceded him, and longer, and Tay was looking forward to having his entire cock up his rectum. He relaxed and enjoyed the sensation of having a hot, hard cock enter his butt. No matter how many times he did this, he would never cease to enjoy that initial penetration, the sensation of having another boy's cock slipping into his body. He allowed his body to go almost limp as he felt the solid pole stretching apart his anus as it slowly slid up his ass. It was so fucking hot having a cock up his chute, and having his older brother's cock up it was an even greater turn on. He might not have thought of his brothers in sexual terms up until that afternoon, but he was now, and thoroughly enjoying it. Ike could not believe the sensations passing over his body and the thoughts going through his mind as he felt his cock entering his younger brother. He could not believe how hot and moist Tay's hole was, and he could not believe how good it felt. He imagined it was much like sticking his cock up a cunt, hot and moist and tight. The fact that he was fucking his brother did not escape him, and it actually turned him on. He had been raised to love his brother, and in a way, this was just another way of expressing that love. He knew that was stretching the definition, but he also knew that in a way it was true. Sex between a husband and wife was said to be the deepest commitment of their love, so surely sex between brothers could be seen the same way. Even though a part of his mind nagged at him that this was not something his parents would approve of, it was so wild, and so fucking erotic, and felt so fantastic, he did not care. He slowly eased all seven-and-a-half inches up Tay's butt until his hairy thighs were pressing against Tay's smooth, hairless ass cheeks. He then began to work his cock in and out, fucking his fifteen-year-old brother doggy style. He grasped his smooth hips as he pumped his own to and fro. His long, brown hair swayed in time to his pumping motions and he closed his eyes and enjoyed the sensation of having his hard, aching cock surrounded by a hot, moist, pulsating channel. Zac watched with wide-eyed fascination as Ike's huge thick cock disappeared up Tay's butt and then reappeared. The look on the faces of his two brothers was fantastic. Ike's eyes were closed and his thin lips were parted in a half smile of pleasure. Tay's eyes were closed too, and his head was thrown back and his lips curled in a grimace that had to be a combination of pleasure and pain, not unlike the moment a guy came. Zac squirmed as he thought about how it must feel to have your cock up someone's asshole, and how it must feel to have someone's cock up your own. It had to be great from the behaviour of his two older brothers. He reached down and fondled his stiff prick as he watched them dog fuck on the floor in front of him. Ike had begun slowly, enjoying the sensations passing through his body, and enjoying the idea that he was fucking for the first time in his life. As desire took over, he could not resist picking up his speed, and the faster he pumped his cock in and out of his fifteen-year-old brother the better it felt. He was soon humping Tay furiously. Tay felt the same urgency and squirmed and began to jerk his hips to and fro also. The two hot, randy teens went at it like two dogs in heat, and if their fans could only have seen them then, they would have had a far different impression of their sweet bubblegum boys. Soon the two teens were gasping for breath as they felt the end approaching. Tay inhaled sharply as Ike grasped his hips tightly and ramming his cock up his ass, began to quiver. He knew Ike was pumping his load up his ass, and he knew how good Ike was feeling at that moment. Tay sighed as his eighteen-year-old brother filled his asshole with his hot, thick cum. Ike sighed too as he knelt there motionlessly, allowing his balls to empty. He had just filled his younger brother's ass with his seed and it had felt fantastic! Finally Ike eased his cock, still stiff and slick with KY, cum and Tay's rectal moistness, out of his brother. He sat back on his heels with a happy, dazed look on his face. Zac looked at one and then the other brother. Having witnessed their ecstasy and what had to be the most intimate act between two boys, he was left speechless for one of the few times in his life. Tay finally glanced over at Zac in a bit of a daze, and then raised an inquiring eyebrow as he jerked his thumb at his stiff six inches. Zac grinned as he readily nodded. Having Zac lay on his back, Tay took the KY, and placing the tip of the tube against Zac's hole, squeezed out a dollop straight up his asshole. Zac squirmed and giggled, and then squirmed and giggled louder as he felt his brother's middle finger ease into his hole. "Relax your asshole muscle," advised Tay as he felt Zac's sphincter tighten about his finger. "All right. Man, this is so fucking hot, Tay. I can feel your finger in me. This is so way cool! I can't believe it feels so good! God I wi ." Tay reached up and placed a finger across his thirteen-year-old brother's lips as he eased his middle finger the rest of the way up his ass and then slowly began working it in and out of the young, virgin hole. Removing his finger and applying more KY to it, he reinserted it, gently massaging and stretching his younger brother's rectum. Having Zac lay on some pillows to elevate his rump, Tay knelt between his legs. He quickly greased up his aching cock, and then placed the tip against his younger brother's opening. He had no trouble penetrating him what with the lube and Zac's eagerness to be fucked. The look on his young face was fantastic as he felt Tay sink his cock up his asshole. The combination of awe, delight, and anticipation almost made Tay come right then and there. As he began to pump his hips to and fro, Tay grinned down at his brother and Zac grinned back up at him. Zac could not believe it. This was so fucking hot. He loved the feeling of Tay's hard hot cock easing in and out of his asshole, and he loved the look on Tay's face. He wondered if Tay had the same look of enjoyment and arousal when he fucked Taran. From the smile on his thin red lips and the sparkle in his blue eyes, there was no doubt that Tay was enjoying this as much as he was. Tay was enjoying the experience. For the first time in his life he was fucking a virgin, and that virgin was his own kid brother. Zac had professed to like boys too, which made Tay particularly hot, and particularly anxious. He wanted to make this as special and as wonderful for Zac, as his first piece of ass with Taran had been for him. Tay worked his hips to and fro with deliberate slowness, wanting it to last as long as possible for Zac, besides wanting to enjoy this for as long as possible himself. The two teens closed their eyes and allowed the wild, itching desire ebbing out from their union to assault their minds and gradually build up until the tension was unbearable. Finally Tay could hold back no longer and he ran his hands along Zac's smooth hips and down to his sides. He squeezed tightly as he drove his cock in to the hilt and paused as his nuts contracted and his cum spurted out in rapid bursts, filling his kid brother's asshole. He looked down at Zac, and Zac looked up at him dreamily as his lips slowly curled. From the look in his eyes, Tay could tell that Zac knew he was coming. Tay waited until their breaths returned close to normal before he finally eased his hips back one last time and eased his cock out of his brother's rectum. Zac lay there for at least five minutes revelling in the unique sensation of having been fucked. He finally looked over at Ike and the question passed from his eyes to Ike's. Ike's eyes immediately replied with his silent agreement. Ike lay flat on his stomach and Zac crawled over to him and knelt between his legs. He looked so small and innocent compared to his tall, lanky brother, but the stiff cock between his legs was evidence that he was no innocent. He was new at this though, having just lost his prune himself. He greased up his middle finger as he had seen his two brothers do, and slipped it up his oldest brother's ass. He could not believe he was sticking his finger up his brother's asshole, performing that act that he and his friends had often gestured to each other in fun. He giggled and suppressed the impulse to talk. He worked his finger in and out for a while, greasing up his brother's hole, and then he lubed up his itching little cock. Kneeling between Ike's legs and balancing on his left arm as he grasped his young stiffie, Zac aimed it for his brother's asshole. The thirteen-year-old was so excited he was trembling. This was so hot, and so fucking exciting, he felt like he was going to explode! His thin, smooth thighs pressed against Ike's thicker, hairy ones. He felt Ike's anus open up as he slowly pushed down, and gradually his little cock was surrounded by a hot moistness like he had never before imagined. As he penetrated his older brother with his little dick, he sighed deeply with pleasure and with his success. He pushed his cock in as far as he could, until his stomach and almost hairless pubes were pressing against his brother's butt. Then he began to work his cock in and out of his brother's hot, moist hole as he had seen Ike and Tay do. Zac was soon panting with the exertion and his arousal, and he could hear Ike panting also. He began to speed up, fucking his brother with wild abandon, fucking him simply for the physical pleasure fucking brings. There was no doubt it was bringing him pleasure, and he wiggled and gasped with the sensation. This was lust, pure and simple. It was not long before he was thrusting in and out with all his strength as he pumped his young hot cum up his older brother's asshole. Ike squirmed and gasped also as he felt his youngest bother reach his climax, and a strange feeling passed over him as he realized his kid brother was ejaculating up his asshole, a feeling of pleasure not just for himself but also for Zac. Once again all three brothers lay on the floor, their bodies glowing with a sexual flush and their minds drifting in that hazy fog of post-climatic pleasure. Their bodies were hot and sweaty, and they never felt more satisfied in their life. They lay there a long time. "I get the tub first," called Tay as he suddenly got up and headed for the bathroom. He did not really want to wash off the smell of his two brothers, but he knew it would be too strong and too evident to ignore when his parents returned home, and he was not ready to tell them about himself just yet. He certainly was not prepared to tell them anything about what had happened that afternoon. The warm water felt good, and he could have spent an hour laying in the tub, but he knew his brothers wanted to get cleaned up too. As he began to dry himself, he told Zac he could use the bathroom. Zac stood under the shower and lathered up and began to clean the sweat and cum from his chest and under his arms. Tay watched his kid brother as he continued to dry himself. He was one hot looking thirteen- year-old, and Tay knew his younger brother could get any girl, and quite a few guys, just for the asking. He was so glad that Zac had accepted him so readily as the realization of his coming out hit him. As Zac began to soap up his genitals, Tay could not help starting to swell again and he hoped that what they had done that afternoon was the beginning of a new relationship with his younger sib. When Zac was done, Ike entered the showers and his two younger brothers watched him as they blow dried their long blond hair. Ike's body was more masculine, more powerful than his two younger brothers. Tay found he did not mind that. Ike's body was just as attractive, but in a totally different way from Zac's. Tay looked at Ike, and then glanced over at Zac. They were so different in appearance, and in personality. Tay smiled. He was so lucky he had been able to engage in sex with both his older and younger brothers. The boys had cleaned up and were in their room when their parents and other siblings arrived, Tay at his desk working on the composition, Zac spread out on the top bunk reading a comic, and Ike laying on the bottom bunk looking through the latest Teen Fan magazine. Mrs. Hanson smiled at the sight of her happy, clean, wholesome boys through the slightly open door and continued on down the hall quietly. Little she did realize what her three sons had done that afternoon. Little did she realize that the reason for those happy smiles was sexual contentment, and that at that very moment each was thinking of the wild afternoon they had just engaged in, and the wild afternoons they would be having in the future. That afternoon had brought the three of them closer together than they had ever been. Blood might be thicker than water, but cum is a lot more fun.
