Subject: Boys on the Farm-9

This is a story about 2 teenage guys who discover man
sex and love for each other while on a summer vacation
at the farm. It begins slowly but builds in intensity
as the days go by and their relationship deepens. If
you are underage, or if man to man sex or normal
reproductive acts of farm animals offend you then you
should move on to something else. I would appreciate
any comments emailed to me at ndman72@yahoo.com. BOYS

BOYS ON THE FARM.

Day Nine.

The thunderstorm approached in the darkness, heralding
its imminent arrival with flashes of lightning and
mutters of thunder. Intermittant breaths of wind came
through the open windows of the upstairs bedroom. The
nude boys slept peacefully, covered only with the
bedsheet. They were nestled together in the double
bed, completely relaxed and content in their love for
one another. Tristan had snuggled against David's back
and was holding him with one arm.

The lightning flashes grew brighter and the thunder
became louder as the storm approached. It began to
disturb the sound sleep of the teenage boys--Tristan
was the first one to become aware of it. Sleepily he
stirred, feeling the entire length of his body
caressed by David's closeness. His cock, nestled
against David's ass, stirred with a life of its own.
Reassured by the intimate physical contact, Tristan
relaxed once more to drift back to sleep.

The steady flash of the lightning and increasing noise
of the thunder made continued sleeping impossible. Not
to mention the feelings produced from the hardon that
Tristan had sprung! Realizing that a storm was
approaching, Tristan opened his eyes and shook David.
"Wake up David, a storm is coming...should we do
something?"

"Mmmmmm, what?" David murmured, waking from a deep
sleep.

"A storm is coming, should we do something?"

"You scared or what?"

"No, I'm not scared, but I can't sleep with the
lightning and the thunder. Should we shut the
windows?" Tristan stroked his fingers across David's
chest and nipples as he spoke. Then, he moved his hand
down across David's belly and began running his
fingers through David's pubes.

"Don't need to shut the windows unless the rain comes
in," David said as he stretched luxuriously. "Oh man,
Tristan, it feels so good when you do that." He
couldn't resist the sensuous feelings that were
igniting in his body--his cock became a rod of iron
and was pulsing its drumbeat of eroticism.

"Good. I love touching you, David." Tristan continued
to run his fingers across as much of David's front as
he could reach--lightly stroking David's thighs,
crotch, belly and chest with his fingertips. Tristan's
cock was hard and aching with its need as Tristan was
slowly thrusting with his hips against David's ass
cheeks. Precum was oozing out of his cock head,
lubricating its way towards David's sensitive pucker.
Soon, Tristan's cockhead was there, pushing and
rubbing on David's back door.

The double stimulation was making David's horniness
surge as he floated on waves of pleasure. His cock was
demanding to cum again and his balls were drawn up
tight, ready to shoot their blasts of hot cum.

David turned over so he was facing Tristan. Reaching
down, he grabbed Tristan's meat and slid that fat cock
next to his own hard tool. The flashes of lightening
were bright enough now so David could see Tristan's
smooth face and dark, curly hair. "You do me and I'll
do you, Tristan-you make me so horny..." Tristan gazed
back at David's blonde hair and gorgeous looks,
drinking in the close up view of his face. "Ok, let's
try it."

The boys were oblivious to the storm outside, caught
up in their randy feelings. The sounds of thunder and
heavy rain drowned out the noise of their bodies
thrusting and their panting breath. David reached his
climax first, involuntarily groaning and pouring his
cum out in sudden jolts of an intense orgasm. Pushed
to his climax by David's obvious signs of carnal
pleasure, Tristan began to shoot his strings of hot,
white cum. His balls pumped their bursts of cum out of
his meaty cock as it was stroked to completion by
David. The boys' bellies and crotches were covered
with each other's orgasmic offerings.

David slid his arms around Tristan and pulled him
tight, crotches and juices mingling tightly. Tristan
couldn't resist--he hugged David back, kissed David's
cheek and murmured, "I love you David."

David was moved to reply by kissing Tristan's
forehead. Then they fell back to sleep to the sound of
rain falling, holding each other closely--chest to
chest, crotch to crotch, with their legs intertwined.

The sound of the birds outside woke David. He and
Tristan were still intertwined and he slowly moved to
disentangle himself. Ouch! Ouch! Sections of their
skin and pubic hair were glued together with dried
cum!

Tristan woke from David's movement and the pain of
their separation as David was attempting to pull away.
Fingers were quickly inserted between them to ease
apart the areas of adhesion. "I guess this almost made
us inseparable!" joked Tristan as they pulled
themselves apart.

David smiled and answered, "Yeah, who would have
thought this would happen. Man, you made me cum so
hard it made lights flash in my head."

"You dope, that was lightning!"

"I know, but it sure fit the feeling! But, now I've
got to take a piss so let's get dressed."

The boys brushed and pealed off the remaining evidence
of their nocturnal encounter while dressing. Tristan
watched David as he did so, noting that David's
ballsack was showing fewer signs of the bruise it
sustained from the bb pellet. He never tired of seeing
David's beautiful male body with its uncut cock and
dangling balls.

David caught Tristan looking and flaunted his
semi-hard cock before hiding it behind his underwear
and pulling on some jeans. Tristan's cock was
semi-erect too as the sight of David's naked body
reminded Tristan of what they had done a few hours
earlier.

They opened the bedroom and downstairs they went.
Together they were in the bathroom and quickly pulling
their cocks out and pissing a full, healthy stream!
Tristan finished first, shaking his cock and stripping
the last drops from it, moved his hips suggestively.

"Don't you ever get enough?" David whispered?

"No, not when you're around."

"Save it for later, man. Quit playing with it so we
can eat some breakfast!"

Once they sat down in the kitchen, Grandma fed them
some breakfast. "You boys are up early this morning",
she commented. She watched the two happy boys eat
hungrily, thinking how they were precious to her. She
chatted with them and savored their youthful looks and
enthusiasm for life as only an older person can.

They headed for the outdoors as soon as they were done
eating, running through the wet grass over to the barn
where Grandpa was. He was opening the gate from the
pasture and chasing the mare named Bertha in!

"Looks like Ace will get some action this morning,"
smiled David.

"Yeah, and we get to watch him use that awesome cock
of his, too!"

"Mornin' Grandpa!"
"Morning!"

"Mornin' boys. You're up early this morning."

"Yeah, birds woke us up and decided we couldn't
sleep."
"Is Ace gonna breed this mare?"

"Yep, if you stay you need to be still and not spook
the horses."

"OK."
"We will."

Tristan's cock was getting that tingling feeling and
was starting to swell just from the anticipation of
what he knew would happen next. He slipped a hand in
his pocket and adjusted his package to a more
comfortable position. He noticed David was doing the
same thing!

In the meantime, Grandpa had gone into the barn and in
a moment returned leading Ace with a rope. The mare
was watching them as they approached. Her tail was
held up high and the boys could see her cunt winking
as she stood there. Ace moved quickly over to the mare
to smell her rear end-his long, black cock sliding out
and curving down. As Ace continued to smell her cunt
and curl his upper lip that immense horse cock of his
continued to lengthen and straighten into an
incredible display of maleness, the end of it flaring
outwards!

With a quickness that was surprising for his massive
size, Ace lifted himself up and straddled the mare
with his front legs, seeking her cunt with his rigid
cock. The angle wasn't quite right and he missed a few
times before Grandpa stepped close and guided Ace's
cock into the mare. In just a few plunges Ace buried
his 30 inch cock into the mare and fucked her with
short, quick strokes. Tristan pulled David over a
little and they climbed the fence so they could watch
from the side and see clearly. Much too soon Ace was
done and was pulling out, his cock only semi-hard and
glistening wet. He stood behind her, smelling of her
female scent while his cock drooped limply, almost
touching the ground.

After a moment, Grandpa was able to lead Ace back into
the barn, Ace's cock retracting back inside his body
as he walked. When Grandpa came back out, he chased
Bertha back out into the pasture to be with her colt.
Then he rejoined the boys who were still standing up
on the fence.

Grandpa noticed how they had watched the horse's act
of reproduction and figured it was time to give them
more of an education. "Any grownup ever talk to you
boys about sex?" he asked.

"Just a little in school," was David's reply.
"No, not really," Tristan answered.

"Sex is the second more powerful urge people have. I
think hunger is the first, but most people in this
country have never felt true hunger. Those urges in us
and animals are there for a reason-the urge of hunger
promises the survival of the individual and the urge
of sex promises the survival of the species. The thing
that makes us different from animals is that we have
rational, thinking minds and are able to make
conscious decisions regarding our behavior.

Ace responded instintively as an animal to a female in
season. And those instincts are very, very strong.
Don't ever get in the way or try to stop a stallion or
a bull from breeding once they are near a female in
season. I know of several people who have gotten
seriously hurt or killed by their livestock for trying
to stop them.

The other thing you should realize about sex between
people is that is can it be used as an instrument of
goodness and love or as an expression of destruction
and hate. So many things in our world are like
that--whether you think of guns, or drugs, nuclear
energy, the environment, or even the way a person
lives their life."

Tristan had to ask a question. "But Grandpa, how can
sex be an instrument of destruction? Sex makes babies,
just like Ace and Bertha were doing."

"Rape and prostitution are a couple of the ways that
the gift of sex is misused and diminishes or destroys
the people's lives who are involved. By diminishing
and cheapening the value of sex, you are degrading
yourself and the other person or persons involved. All
parties involved can be considered victims. Sex is a
wondrous gift to each other when it is expressed in a
loving and caring relationship. It is an intimate and
total sharing of yourself with another person and in
the process, it produces the miracle of babies."

David chimed in at this point. "In school they just
taught us about anatomy and how it takes an egg and a
sperm cell to make babies."

Grandpa continued his education to the boys. "Yep,
science teaches us that. What science and schools
forget to tell us is the wonder of how something so
tiny and so complicated as two special cells, each
with half the necessary genes to create a human being,
join and multiply to produce a person capable of
thinking and learning and emotions. Once you think
about that, you realize that each one of us is the
result of a miracle."

"Wow, Grandpa, you should be a teacher."
"Yeah."

"No, no. I'm just a farmer who has time to think when
I'm working in the field. But I thought you boys
should know that there is more to sex than just the
act."

"Thanks Grandpa."

"Sure. You boys ready to help me move some machinery
to another hay field this morning? It's a little too
wet to mow yet but we can move the tractors this
morning so maybe this afternoon I can cut hay."

"You bet. Can I drive?"

"One of you can drive the pickup and the other one can
ride with me and help drive the tractor. Then you can
switch when we move the second one."

"Super!"
"Fantastic!"

That was how the boys spent the rest of the
morning--moving equipment and getting to drive. A cool
breeze was blowing and the air was so clean and fresh.
The air was filled with the sweet smell of clover,
alfalfa, and grass. Huge bumblebees that were visible
from the road flew busily from blossom to blossom
collecting pollen. The dalmations, Fritz and Mabel,
came along and rode in the back of the pickup. They
enjoyed the ride too, heads hanging out and sniffing
the air as they drove.

The boys saw birds of all sizes and kinds as they
drove slowly through the prairie. Growing up in the
city they had never seen much wildlife and they
excitedly pointed out the different species while
Grandpa named them. Flying about the prairie in their
daily quest for food were meadowlarks, hawks,
red-winged blackbirds, sparrows, killdeer, kingbirds,
and even a couple of big crows! As they drove past
some sloughs the waterfowl were swimming and diving in
the water surrounded by reeds. Ducks of all colors and
sizes were busy with their ducklings--mallards,
canvasbacks, and the smaller teal were abundant and
there were a couple of Candadian geese families out on
an little island in one slough.

Also while driving along a shelterbelt of trees they
came upon a covey of ring-tailed pheasants running to
hide in the tall grass and trees. Then, they even saw
a glimpse of a red fox slipping through the grass--the
dogs saw it too and barked and whined--they were ready
to chase that fox! It was a glorious morning to be out
on the prairie!

Grandma had lunch waiting for them when they returned
to the farm after moving the equipment. The fresh air
and excitement had made the boys ravenous and they
attacked the delicious country food.

After lunch Grandpa took the dogs and drove out to the
hayfield to start mowing hay. He told the boys they
could stay at the farm since he would be gone the rest
of the day and there wasn't much for them to do if
they came with him.
That was just fine with them--they had fun things they
wanted to do!

As they stepped outside, they noticed the day had
gotten very warm and was humid from the rain last
night. They stood on the porch, discussing what to do.
First they decided to check on Ace. They ran to the
barn to find him munching on some hay. Tristan turned
to David and asked, "Have you ever petted Ace?"

"Yeah, a couple of times. Is that what you want to
do?"

"Do you think I could? It would be so awesome!"

"Here, I'll get the lead rope out and hook it to his
halter then tie him to a post so you can pet him."
David had seen Grandpa do that before and was
confident he could do this for Tristan with no
problem. Within a few minutes, David had led the 2000
pound stallion over to a post in the barn and tied the
rope. "Now go get a small pail of oats out of the
grain bin and you can give them to him and pet him."

Tristan fed Ace the oats and carefully ran his hands
over Ace's neck and back, startled when Ace flinched
as a fly bit him on the other side. Becoming braver,
Tristan bent over to take a closer look at Ace's
sexual equipment. Ace's cock was just peeking out of
the short sheath that horses have, the rounded head of
it showing. And his balls were the size of large
apples! "Just look at him, David! This is so awesome!"
Tristan turned to look at David and continued, "Wasn't
it something this morning when Grandpa grabbed Ace's
cock to put it in that mare?"

"Yeah, I guess so. Don't mess around with him too
much, Tristan. We don't want anything to happen. We
better untie him and let him be."

"OK, I was able to touch him. But phew, now my hands
stink like horse! I better wash them."

Next the boys decided to get their BB guns and shoot
some of the many sparrows living in the haymow. After
a short time, they agreed it was too hot to stay there
and decided to go down to the river. They got the
fishing poles and headed to find some shade and cool
water.

It was a very hot walk down the trail to the river
wearing their t-shirts and jeans. David stripped off
his t-shirt and tied it around his waist and Tristan
quickly copied him. It was a relief to get those
sticky t-shirts off and the fitful breeze felt cooling
to their hairless chests and bellies, except for the
thin line of hair running down from their navels to
disappear into their jeans.

The cows were on the other side of the river, resting
in the shade. Remembering what Grandpa said about
disturbing stallions and bulls, they looked for the
bull. He was standing in the shade facing away from
the boys, idly swishing his tail at the insects that
tried to feast on him.

"Look at the nuts on that bull hang down!" Tristan
exclaimed. They were hanging down about a 12 inches in
an elongated ball sack that swayed slightly as the
bull shifted his weight while swinging his tail. "Have
you ever seen a bull fuck a cow, David?"

"Nope. And stay away from him, Tristan. Get your mind
off sex for awhile. Let's do some fishin'."

"Just admit it, David. You like sex."

"I like sex--but I don't think about it all the time."

"I don't either but I can't help it when I'm always
seeing the equipment on these animals."

"OK, OK. Let's just do some fishin'."

They tried fishing in the shade but the mosquitoes
drove them to the other side of the river to a spot
that was sunnier. Before crossing the river they took
off their pants to wade across. Tristan was hot and he
had no shame in pulling off the rest of his clothes.
Then he fished standing there totally naked, his cock
hanging down past his balls and swaying as he moved.

David was still wearing his briefs and Tristan was
able to admire the way David's package was outlined by
the white cotton. Tristan was enjoying his nudity and
wanted David to loosen up and enjoy it with him. "Hey
David, I love it down here. Not wearing any clothes is
really radical--get naked, man!"

Making a face at Tristan, David reached down with one
hand and stripped off his briefs, then wiggled his
hips at Tristan, showing off his uncut cock and balls.
That did it! Tristan was done fishing--he was ready to
play. Putting down the fishing pole Tristan announced,
"I'm ready for a swim man," and went wading into the
river.

David threw down his fishing pole half
disgustedly--with Tristan's splashing in the water he
didn't have a chance of catching any fish now! He
splashed into the water at a run yelling, "Scare my
fish away and you pay for it!" He jumped on Tristan,
pulling him down into the refreshing water, dunking
him in the process.

Tristan couldn't let David get away with that and they
wrestled one another for a second dunking--they
wrestlied front to front, bodies touching everywhere
with no concern for the areas of body contact. This
time the dunking was a mutual one. Coming up for air,
the boys began to swim a little before just floating
on their backs, their cocks floating on the water.

The boys relaxed in the cool water without saying much
until Tristan spoke up. "This is so cool, David. I
mean swimming naked and everything. We could never
could have done this in the city--too many people
around. I think I'm going to try to get a full-body
tan before we have to go home...how about you?"

"So now you're going to be a nudist?"

"Whatever."

"I'll tell you one thing--I don't want my cock
sunburned the way I burnt my ass!" was David's very
serious reply.

"Yeah, can you imagine a having a dick that is sore
all of the time--you couldn't do much with it then!"
snickered Tristan. "I'm going to lay out in the sun
for a while now and get started on my tan--no white
skin for me!" Tristan swam over to the shallows and
headed for the big rock that the river couldn't budge.
He laid back on the warm rock, closing his eyes and
soaking up its warmth and the rays of the sun, his
cock hanging down and his ball sack fully relaxed,
hanging low as well.

The image of Tristan was so natural and beautiful in
this setting that it impressed itself unforgettably
into David's brain. For years afterwards, he could
remember that afternoon and the image of Tristan
stretched out on the rock! At present, David's mind
was more occupied with the feelings it was producing
in his body--his cock stopped bobbing in the water and
the foreskin pulled back to expose his sensitive
cockhead to the cool water, adding a new sensation to
the erotic feelings sweeping over him.

David climbed out of the river and walked over to join
Tristan on the rock--his hand cradling his bouncing
cock. Tristan opened his eyes as David came near and
immediately noticed David's condition. "Need some help
with that?" he asked with a crooked smile, feeling his
own cock begin to swell with its own interest.

"Yeah, maybe," David replied as he laid next to
Tristan on the warm rock.

"What's this maybe stuff? Your cock isn't saying
maybe!"

"I know."

"So what should we do about it?"

"Wanna suck it?"

"Sure."

Tristan shifted down and began to play with David's
cock and balls with his fingers while going down on
him! Tristan was beginning to get pretty good at
it--alternately sucking and running his tongue over
David's hot throbbing cock. As his sexual tension
mounted, David automatically reached with both hands
to hold Tristan's head while it was bobbing up and
down over his crotch. The soft brushings of Tristan's
hair over his hands was subconsciously noted by David
in his state of sensous ejoyment. Before much longer
he was reaching the peak of sexual tension, tensing
his body before reaching climax.

"Oh Tristan, here...it...is," and he buried his cock
clear up to his pubes in Tristan's mouth and unloaded
his cum down Tristan's throat the second time that
day! It felt so good when he was doing that.

When Tristan backed off David's cock, he grinned and
swallowed. Tristan's 7 inch hardon was jutting out
heavily and precum had beaded at the tip. He grabbed
his meat and jerked a couple of times then said
teasingly, "Ok man, my big buddy here needs some
relief so what you gonna do for him?"

"Fair is fair." With those words David came over to
kneel between Tristan's legs. He used one hand to
massage and stroke Tristan's cock while the other hand
was playing with his balls. This was different,
handling Tristan's cock and balls in broad daylight-up
to now it had been in the dark and he couldn't see
what he was doing so clearly. After watching how the
darker skin of Tristan's dick and ball sack would move
around as he rubbed and caressed it, he bent further
down to take Tristan's deep red cockhead into his
mouth.

"Oh, that's so good David, keep going," breathed
Tristan.

David was able to keep his hand on Tristan's cock
while working the end of it with his mouth and tongue.
After a few minutes of this, he thought he would
surprise Tristan and run his tongue down Tristan's
cock since he couldn't fit that monster entirely in
his mouth. He started out with a tentative lick on the
underside and was encouraged with the involuntary
pulsing and thrust it created in Tristan's cock along
with a moan of pleasure. He kept at it until he had
done the entire underside and THEN he moved down to
Tristan's balls. It was kinda fun to move his balls
around while licking Tristan's hairless ball sack.

Precum was dripping out of Tristan's piss slit by now
and Tristan could hardly stand the slow stimulation
and the suspense of waiting for his release any
longer! "David, that feels really neat but do my cock
more, I need to cum so bad," he begged.

David moved right away back to the jerk and suck
combination he had tried earlier and with this
additional stimulation, Tristan reached orgasm
quickly.

"I'm almost there...its coming...its coming...here it
comes!" Tristan gasped out.

David quit his sucking at these words but kept up his
stroking to watch the several spurts of cum leap from
Tristan's cock. The first spurt went the furthest and
hit David on the chin! He wiped it off with his
fingers and then smelled it before wiping it on the
rock. "Yup, it smells just like it tastes," he
commented.

"It was so neat what you did when you licked me,"
Tristan said as he reached over to touch David on the
thigh.

"I thought I would try something since I can't get
your cock in my mouth like you can do mine," David
explained with a sheepish grin. "It's getting kinda
late, maybe we should head back."

"OK, I wish I didn't have to put those jeans back on
though."

The boys strolled back to the farmyard without shirts
on, laughing and talking without a care in the world.
When they got back, Tristan went into the barn check
on Ace to work on his name carving some more went to
get them something to drink.

"Hey Tristan, Grandma told me to tell you that your
dad called a little bit ago and said he would be
calling back about 9:00 this evening," David said as
he handed Tristan a soda.

"He's probably worrying about when I'll be home on
Saturday so he can pick me up," Tristan replied. "I
wish we could stay here all summer, David. I've never
had so much fun in my whole life put together as I
have had here with you."

"Same here."

The boys killed time until 7:30 when they went inside
and showered together as was normal for them now. They
washed each other's hair and soaped each other's body,
mostly just for fun since they had relieved their
sexual urges twice that day already. Tristan slipped a
full body hug into the process which David
half-heartedly returned, signaling his current lack of
interest in doing anything more. They dried off and
got dressed with a minimum of fooling around.

Supper was a casserole and fresh buns--Grandma sure
knew how to cook delicous foods--everything she made
was so tasty and so satisfying to eat--not like the
fast meals out of boxes and cans he and his Dad would
eat at home!

Soon after they finished eating, the phone rang--it
was Tristan's dad calling back. Of course, David could
only hear one side of the conversation.

"Hi Dad. Oh fine. We're having the greatest time
here... well, lots of things. We've been helping
David's grandpa and then we go swimming, been shooting
gophers, rode in a parade and went to a county fair--I
got motion sickness really bad from the rides though.
Yeah, I'm just fine now." Then there followed a long
period of silence as Tristan was listening.

"What! Dad! You can't do that--it'll ruin everything!"
More silence followed.

"When? Dad! I don't want to move! Can't I stay with
David?" Tristan listened again.

"Yeah dad, sure. It's just wonderfully crappy. Bye."

Tristan came into the dining room totally changed in
his appearance. White circles had appeared on his
cheeks, his ears were bright red and his expression
was both angry and upset. "I can't believe what he's
doing to me!. I have to pack and move down to Texas as
soon as I get home cuz he took a promotion and has to
transfer!"

David's face mirrored the emotions that flew through
him--shock, dismay, and finally it settled into
sadness. "When?" was all he could utter.

"The mover's will load us a week from Monday."

Grandma tried to sooth him by saying, "I'm sure your
dad has a very good reason to make this move. He's
only trying to do what he thinks is best in the long
run."

Tristan angrily replied, "Maybe for him, but did he
ever think about what I might have wanted? No, he
didn't even ask me! I don't want to go!" With that
outburst he turned and ran up the stairs to the
bedroom, slamming the door shut behind him.

Grandma looked over at David and saw the woeful
expression on his face. "Give him a few moments David
to collect himself. Then go tell him that both of you
are always welcome to spend time together in the
summer here--maybe that will help him accept what has
to be done. A fact of life is that sometimes things
happen that we can't do anything about except make the
best of them." David got his goodnight hug from
Grandma and headed upstairs.

He found Tristan sitting on the bed, totally
depressed. "What do we do now, David?" he asked. "I
can't bear to think about not being around you and
holding you and all that stuff."

"I don't want you to move either, Tristan. But what
choice do you or I have? At least Grandma said we
could spend time together during our summers here if
we wanted to."

"She did, really?"

"Yeah dude, she really did." David put his arm around
Tristan's shoulders for a moment and then said, "Come
on, dude. Let's get ready for bed."

The boys did so, stripping their clothes off and
climbing beneath the covers. Tristan immediately
reached over and pulled David close while saying, "I
need to hold you David, so bad, cuz I won't have too
many more chances before moving. I love you, man and
it won't make any difference how far apart we
live--I'll always love you."

David gave Tristan a reassuring squeeze and then they
laid there, not talking but holding each other and
gently running their hands over one another. The
soothing touches helped relax and calm them until they
drifted off to sleep, held tightly in each others'
arms.
