Copyright: 2002 - Author: Lee Mariner - All Rights are Reserved. Mariner23502@hotmail.com Chapter #46 I stood on the rail of the fence watching my Uncle Lee's truck until it was out of sight. It felt like a stone had settled in my gut, a feeling of being alone. We hadn't been apart for what seemed ages and I felt suddenly afraid without him. A feeling of sadness seemed to settle over me as I fought back the tears that welled up in my eyes and I rested my head on the top rail of the fence. I stood there with my head on the rail, not thinking of the time just letting the tears flow. William and Calvin were sitting on the porch watching Mark in the distance standing with his head resting on the fence rail. "Calvin, I think Mark might need you if you want to go to him. "Do you really think so Uncle Bill?" "I think he especially needs you. Right now he is probably feeling very alone and maybe just a little afraid." "I wouldn't want him to think I was pushing myself on him, taking advantage of him. I love him but you know how he feels about Lee." "I do and I also know how you feel about Mark. Right now Calvin, he needs a friend to help him get over the sense of loss he probably is feeling. Go to him, your heart will tell you what to do." Marks tears slowly subside but he doesn't move and does not hear Calvin walking up too him. His mind and his heart are in the truck that has left him. Calvin walks down the fence line slowly and reaching Mark, he rests his hand on his shoulder. "Mark, you alright?" Lifting his head and seeing Calvin, Mark reaches out for him, saying quietly "Calvin, I'm sorry" as they melt into each others arms holding tight. Charles had walked out on the porch with William as Calvin left to join Mark. They both watched in silence seeing the two of them embracing. William looked up at Charles standing beside him. "They will be alright William, they both love each other. Calvin will be a comfort too Mark and time will bring them back together." "Yes they do Charles but Calvin is going to need Mark as much as he needs Calvin." "You are going to tell Calvin about his mother?" "Yes, I am. I don't see any reason to delay it as much as I hate the thought of it." "Would you like for me to tell him William? I would be happy too if you would like." Calvin and Mark had sat down together beside the fence and William watched for a few minutes, his heart aching for the both of them. "No Charles, I appreciate the offer. Mrs. Masters asked that I break it to Calvin." "I understand." Charles said as he turned and walked back into the house. Calvin and I sat down in the grass tears still flowing we held onto each other. "Calvin, I didn't know loving someone could hurt so much. "It does Mark, when you truly love them. William and I talked about it when you and Lee left us. It felt like my heart was going too break as I watched you leave with your uncle. I was afraid I'd never see you again." "Gee Calvin, I didn't know you felt like that. I missed you afterwards and I had feelings like I loved you but I wasn't really sure." "How could you be sure? Lee was and still is your entire world, he always will be. You and he have a bond that no one will ever replace. William told me about it and I can understand it. I only hope I will ever find someone that will love me the way you love your uncle." Looking at Calvin and listening to him, a warm feeling swept over me. My heart was beating a little fast as I pulled him too me our lips meeting in a soft kiss. Tears no longer flowed as my tongue entered his mouth and I tasted the sweetness of him, my cock starting to swell. I dropped my hand into his crotch and felt him responding with me to the passion of our kiss. "I will love you Calvin, I want to, I need you." I looked deep in his eyes as we sank down on the grass my hand gripping his hardness through his shorts. "Mark, I have loved you from the moment we were together in the Jacuzzi. I loved you when we first made love and I loved you when your uncle was with us and we made love. I have loved everything about you but I cannot replace your uncle. I want you to love me for me the way I love you for you. I can't replace him for you. Love him Mark but I need for you to love me, Calvin." It seemed like a long time that we held each other my head on Calvin's chest his arms around me. I felt his passion and mine subside as I listened with the soft breeze blowing over us the odor of the sweet grass mingling with the clean smell of his body. I was remembering that Uncle Lee had told me he wouldn't hold me but that I had to grow, to learn. He had taught me what he could but I had to learn and experience the feelings in myself. I had felt he was trying to push me away but laying with Calvin, I knew what he was telling me and I didn't feel confused. "Calvin, I do love you. Give me a little time and let me show you how much, please." "Lets go up to the house Mark, you haven't hardly said anything to William and Charles. The weekend is ours to be together." We walked to the house holding hands and I could feel a current flowing between us in his grip, the sudden feeling of being alone melting away as we walked. I was feeling alive and not afraid as we walked. Everything that William and my uncle had been trying to tell me became very clear. I could love Calvin without being unfaithful to the love I felt for Uncle Lee. He could see William sitting on the porch waiting for them and he could feel a love for him that at first confused him but now he knew what that feeling was. Looking at Calvin, he put his arm around his shoulders pulling him a little closer. William watched them as they walked holding hands and then Mark embracing him closer as they walked. His mind raced back to the time he had first walked with Lee along the same fence and held him close. He was older then Lee but an attachment had grown between them almost from the minute his brother John had brought him too him. They had walked together many times talking. Lee had confided in him telling about all of the feelings he was having and didn't really understand. They had enjoyed each other and Lee had cried himself to sleep many times on his chest. It took time but Lee slowly realized his sexuality and that he needed the physical love that he would find only in a man, not a woman. The two beautiful boys walking towards him were realizing the same feelings and learning what those feelings meant. William smiled as they approached. "Well now, you two look like a couple of cats that ate the proverbial canary. Are you hungry? Charles has prepared a delicious dinner, one of his special dishes." "Yes sir. I'm starved." They both had spoken together as if one person was talking and laughed. Charles was standing in the doorway smiling at the sight of them together and laughing. William saw him and knew that Charles did not smile often but he also knew how he felt about these two boys. He also saw Charles raise his eyebrows looking at him. He shook his head negatively knowing the question. Dinner was smoked salmon with lightly scalloped potato's and a small green salad. I light white wine was served with dinner and afterwards a mixed fruit dish. "Charles, you have outdone yourself. Don't you agree boys?" Calvin and Mark agreed as they ate the mixed fruit. "If you would like William, I'll serve coffee on the porch. Would you two like coffee or maybe iced tea?" They both chose the iced tea as they excused themselves from the table. "We would like to go upstairs for a minute Uncle Bill before we go out on the porch." "I'll see you there." William said as the boys ran up he stairs. "This way Mark, our rooms down here." "I need the bathroom Calvin. Where is it at?" "We have a private bath, come on." Calvin raced down the long hallway and opened a door at the end. I followed him in and he grabbed me, both of us falling back against the door his lips on mine as he pressed his body tightly against me. As much as I needed to piss, I could feel our hard cocks pressed tightly between us. We devoured each other until my bladder screamed to be emptied. "Calvin, please. I have to take a piss bad or I'm going to have an accident and we both of us." Calvin laughed pressing his groin tighter into mine. "We can't have that now can we? It's going to be fun watching you piss with a hard-on, come on." "You devil, you got me hard on purpose. Wait until I get you later." "I've been waiting ever since you got here and last night sleeping alone in that big bed out there." I dropped my shorts trying to piss and Calvin kept squeezing my ass until I knocked his hand away. "Damn Calvin. I won't ever piss if you don't stop." "Okay, be a spoil sport. Go ahead, I'll wait outside." After I finished pissing and Calvin kissed me again, we went downstairs. I doubted my cock would go down anytime soon though. We both were playing with each other's ass until we reached the porch. William was sitting on the porch sipping his coffee as we got there. We took our iced tea and sat down together on the wicker couch. The evening was mild and the setting sun cast a soft glow over the trees and bushes, the white fence railings gleaming in the fading light. We sat quietly for a few minutes enjoying the closeness of each other and the evening. Calvin was leaning back against the upright cushions holding his glass between his legs I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek and whispered "I love you." He looked at me and his eyes told me how he felt without words. It felt good being with him. "What do you boys have planned for tomorrow? I have a meeting with a developer for somewhere around 10 o'clock in the morning. Speaking of that Mark, we might not be able to leave until Monday sometime. Do you think your parents would mind if you didn't get home before Tuesday or even Wednesday?" "No sir, I don't think they would mind. School doesn't start until the day after Labor Day and that's still a week off. I'm already registered so there shouldn't be any problem." "I wouldn't mind Uncle Bill." "Oh, I didn't think you would Calvin. Talk about being on pins and needles. I was beginning to think you had forgotten how to sit down." William chuckled to himself as I leaned over to Calvin. "You couldn't wait for me could you? "Oh shut up. Uncle Bill is just making fun of me but I have missed you. Would you like to go horseback riding tomorrow? Uncle Bill has some riding horses we can ride around the farm on." "Sounds like fun to me. I have rode some but not for a long time. My mother's brother has a farm in Kentucky were I rode a little with my dad." "You mean your Uncle Howard Mark? I haven't seen him in years." "Yes sir Uncle Bill. He isn't doing that well though and Mom worries about him a lot. I think he might have lung cancer. He smokes an awful lot. Mom has tried to get him to stop be he keeps on. "Old habits like smoking are hard to give up Mark. I hope you two never start it." "When I was in high school some of the guy's tried to get me to but it gagged me. I don't understand what they see in it, it's nasty." "Yeah, Calvin. They tried to get me to do it. Called me a sissy and made fun but I couldn't stand it." "It's a good thing. Calvin I need to speak with you. How about you and Mark pull a couple of those chairs over here beside me? Charles would you bring me another coffee and maybe a small bottle of brandy with glasses?" Charles appeared almost like a ghost taking Williams empty cup and our glasses. I always wondered how he seemed to know when he was needed. Uncle Bill grinned at me. "He is usually close by Mark, never far off." We sat close too William waiting for Charles to bring the added refreshments. I had a bad feeling and even though I was only 17, I could see something was on his mind. I guess it was from the way he was looking at Calvin. The light was fading fast but it looked like he had tears in his eyes. The kind of tears you try not to have. Charles set the tray on the small table next to William and disappeared but I had a feeling his was not gone and I was feeling a little nervous as William poured three small glasses of brandy. I reached for Calvin's hand and squeezed it as Uncle Bill took a very deep breath and sighed. "Calvin, there is only one way to do this as much as I hate it. You know we love you very much and your mother loves you.........." Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. I had heard almost the same words when my grandfather had died and I looked at Calvin holding his hand tight. "Your mother won't be with you much longer Calvin, she is dying and asked me to tell you." In the almost deafening silence, I thought I heard a deep sigh in the darkness of the doorway. Calvin sat stock still not moving a muscle his hand still in mine. He stared at William for what seemed ages and then suddenly he screamed. 'NO, NO she isn't or she would have told me. She would have told me Uncle Bill, she would have told me." Calvin broke down crying and I held him tight against me. His body was heaving great sobs as he moaned. "She can't be dying, she can't be." I looked at William and he had tears running down his cheek his hands quivering. I was crying holding Calvin when he jumped up screaming.... "I got to go home, I want to see Mom." He started to run and I jumped up to run with him but when he got to the door he ran into Charles who wrapped his arms around him. I collapsed back into my chair and watched as Charles stroked Calvin's head. I could hear him comforting him. "It will be alright Calvin, it will be alright. Let it all go boy, cry it out." I don't remember how long William and I sat there while Charles held Calvin in his strong arms soothing him. I reached without asking for one of the glasses of brandy and downed it in one gulp fire spreading through me. William sat across from me, his hands clasped in his lap. His eyes empty except for the grief he was feeling. The brandy was having its effect and I felt the warmth as my strength was returning. Calvin's sobs had stopped but he leaned heavily against Charles. I wanted to hold him but as I started to get up, Charles scooped him up in his arms holding him close. "I'll take him to his room." That was all he said as he turned and left carrying Calvin as if he was a feather. I sat back down feeling a little empty. I wanted to go to Calvin but I just sat there looking at William and the empty doorway. Thoughts from earlier in the day came flooding back over me. I knew how Calvin was feeling. I felt like I had lost Uncle Lee and he had just been told he was losing someone he loved. For a brief moment, I thought what the hell is life all about if you have to lose someone and go through the grief of that loss. I sat there thinking and then felt Williams hand on my knee. "Mark, I'm sorry to have brought you into this. I knew Calvin was going to take it hard and I was hoping with you here, it would be a little easier." "How long have you known Uncle Bill?" "Mrs. Masters told me right after you and Lee left. She knew she was not strong enough to tell Calvin herself and asked me if I would for her." "I'm glad you asked Uncle Lee to bring me Uncle Bill. I guess you know I love Calvin but I really didn't know how much until today. Now I can be with him and help him. I know a little of how he is feeling right now, I felt that way earlier when Uncle Lee left. I felt like I was losing him." "Mark, you are becoming more of a man everyday and I know Calvin will want you close. He does love you and right now will need you." William and I sat there for a few more minutes before I got up and leaning over kissed him on the cheek. "Good night Uncle Bill, I love you. Thanks for letting me be here with you." I heard William say good night as I went into the house and up to our room. I didn't see Charles around but then you didn't unless he wanted you to. The door too our room was closed when I got there. I opened it carefully so and peeked in before swinging it open. I could see Calvin in bed and Charles off to the side folding his clothing. I tiptoed over to him whispering.... "How is he Charles?" "He is resting now Mr. Mark. I gave him a mild sleeping draught to help him. He'll be better now that you are here with him." "Thanks Charles. I'll take good care of him." "I know you will. I'll be up in the morning, rest well." Calvin seemed to be resting well and the mild sleeping draught that Charles had given him seemed to be effective. I undressed, moving quietly so as not to disturb him. Folding my clothes I heard a muffled.. "Mark is that you? "Yes it is Calvin, how are you feeling?" "A little groggy. Are you coming to bed?" I slipped into the bed beside him and laid an arm over his waist. For just a moment we lay quietly and then Calvin snuggled a little closer his head on the pillow next to mine. He was breathing slowly his chest just touching mine and I slipped my arm under his neck holding him just a little closer. I shifted just a little as Calvin reached over my chest and snuggled tightly too me. The warmth of his smooth body, his groin pressed against my thigh would usually have aroused my desire but I only wanted him to know that I was there with him and he was not alone. Calvin's breathing was soft and even and I could feel his chest rising and falling with mine, his head on my bicep with his arm over my chest. He was sleeping quietly and I could feel my body relaxing as I drifted off to sleep holding him to me. The following morning I was awakened by a light tapping at the door, William entered carrying a tray with him. Calvin was still next to me pretty much as he had gone to sleep with his arm over me. William placed the tray on the night table and leaned over whispering.... "How is he this morning Mark? Did you and he rest well?" "I'm awake Uncle Bill, you don't have to whisper." "I didn't want to wake you. How are you feeling this morning? I brought you and Mark some orange juice if you would care for some." "I slept soundly Uncle Bill. Mark was the best medicine you could have given me." "I didn't do anything, I just laid here." "You were with me when I needed someone to hold onto and for that I love you." "Well, it is good to see you are feeling better and that makes me feel better. Charles is preparing breakfast for you. He will bring it up if you like." "That's alright Uncle Bill. Tell him Mark and I will be down shortly. He's done enough already. I remember him carrying me upstairs last night and I don't know how he did it." "You should know Charles by now, both of you. Come down when you are ready." We waited until William left the room although I'm sure he knew we both were naked. After he left, Calvin slid back down beside me laying half on top of me his lips joining mine in a deep kiss and we both became aroused but we just looked at each other feeling the desire flowing over us. "Are we still going riding later? William told me about a little glen near a stream in the woods where we can have a picnic together." "If you still want to Calvin. Wouldn't you rather be with your mother?" "I want to be alone with you for a little while Mark. I'll be with mother when we get back and being with you now will help me with that. Right now we better get dressed or Charles will be knocking on the door."
