Every now and then a beam of bright light would filter through and then fade as the sun struggled to overcome the night mist. The bedroom windows were milk white from the breaking dawn but it was still dark enough that the sensor of the nightlight had not tripped, turning it off. Mark lay next to me, his head on my bicep & his arm over my chest. His leg lay over mine and I could feel the half hard softness of his cock pressing against my hip. The hard muscle of his shoulder and bicep were soft under my hand, the steady beat of his heart matched mine as he lay next to me, his body touching mine. I inhaled his clean sweet odor as I brushed his hair with my lips, my hand slowly caressing his rippling back muscles. Mark wakened slowly stretching his lithe hard muscled body beside me his now hard cock pressed tight against my thighs. He lifted his face to mine and I kissed his soft luscious lips gently my tongue probing slightly. Golden flecks flashed in his beautiful hazel eyes as we kissed his hand exploring the hard muscles of my chest and abdomen that he knew so well. Taking my hard cock in his hand and squeezing it gently, I gasped as he raised himself on his elbow, hovering over me looking deep into my eyes. Golden flecks flashed deep within the depths of his eyes and the hint of a smile played at the corners of his mouth as he held my cock tight pressing his even tighter into me. "Do you love me Mark? Do you love me as I love and need you?" "I've loved you since the day I was born Uncle Lee." "Take me Mark, fill me with what I need more then anything." Mark lowered his face to mine and his lips covered mine as he sucked my tongue into his mouth drawing the air from my lungs. I felt the fiery heat of lust, wanting him inside of me as he shifted his body slipping between my up lifted legs. Lowering his body onto mine he throbbing hard cock lay beside mine as he pressed his tight into my pelvis the pre-cum flowing from both of our throbbing members. I held him close as he ground his groin into mine slowly the movement generating a body consuming heat that spread over us. A slight sheen of sweat broke out on us both as he slowly moved his body down until his thick cock dropped between my legs pushing forward so I could feel his hard slick cock probing. Mark was cooing as he used his body to caress mine and I lifted my legs on his shoulders. As he leaned forward into my legs I reached down and guided the head of his cock to my quivering anus. I was quivering all over in anticipation of feeling Marks thick cock penetrating, filling me. Holding the head of his cock at the entrance to my bowels, I whispered. "Now Mark, don't stop, take me. Drive yourself deep." With one unhesitating thrust he did as I asked, driving his cock deep in my rectal cavity probing the depths of my bowels. A searing flash of pain soared through my body as he impaled me, took me, filled me with what I craved. My body muscles tightened and I groaned, "Yessssssss Mark, yesssssss." Marks chest lay on mine, he head buried deep in the pillow next to mine. I felt more then heard a long low deep sighing moan escape from deep within him as he buried his cock in me the sweat pouring from both of us and my once soft cock swelled, steel hard crushed between our rock hard abdominal muscles pre-cum flowing in a steady stream. We both lay quietly coupled together for a few moments, our chests heaving sucking in deep draughts of needed air as an ecstatic, electric charge flowed between and over us. Slowly Mark lifted his body over me locking his elbows holding his cock deep inside. I could feel ever pulsing beat of his heart and mine in sync as he slowly withdrew to the tightness of my sphincter and then sliding back in twisting brushing my prostrate slight sending a surging feeling into my nuts and cock but I didn't reach for it. Looking up into his eyes, I could see the love shining as he increased his tempo holding my legs on his shoulders. "Make me cum with you Mark, drive it deep and hard." Mark didn't say anything, he didn't have too as I could feel his nuts slapping against my ass with each driving thrust of his hips into me. The heat built between us too a volcanic strength and I felt my sperm rising as he punished my prostrate twisting and driving faster with each thrust. I had drifted in a euphoric heated fog when I heard him growl, "Now Uncle Lee, now" as his body and mine tightened. My cock was on fire and the force of my sperm exploded, gushing over my chest and stomach as Mark emptied his nuts into my bowels. I could feel hot molten cream filling me as he held his jerking surging cock in me, biting the calf of my leg gently in the excitement of his climax whimpering, "I love you, I love you" tears running from the corner of his clenched eyes. With one final spasm, Mark collapsed on top of me spreading the sperm & sweat on my chest between us as we gasped for air a second time. I let my legs drop over his and held him tight pulling his hips tight against my ass. I didn't want to let his slowly softening cock slip from me just yet as I gripped him tight draining the last drops of his precious nectar. It seemed like ages before Mark finally slipped from me and our sweat covered bodies relaxed. An after glow of total satisfaction enveloped us as he lay on me breathing softly against my neck. We didn't speak; there was no need since we both knew how we felt. The bond between us were all the words either of us needed but after a few more minutes of holding him, I whispered, "Shower time sport." * * * * * * * * * Mark and I showered quickly sponging each other, playing. Nibbling at one another's ears or lip kissing noses as we held each other the hot water running over us half hard cocks slapping back and forth. Drying off again playing, I shaved quickly too remove the slight stubble while Mark teased my by standing behind me running his hands up and down my chest into my groin and squeezing my now hard cock and I could feel how excited he was when he pressed his cock against the crack of my ass. "You keep it up sport and you might get into more trouble then you can handle this morning. Wait until you start shaving and we'll see how you can handle it." Giggling, Mark said "hand me the razor, lets see what you got." "Get out of here and start getting dressed you tease." I said as I cracked his ass cheek. "Ouch, that hurt." Mark shammed as he left the bathroom giggling. We finished dressing and left the bedroom. I noticed that William's door was still closed and that was unusual since he normally did not sleep late. Reaching the stairs, Calvin's door was closed also. "Let me check on Calvin Uncle Lee. I want to be sure he is okay." Calvin was not in his room, his bed was unmade but he was not in his bedroom. We went on down to the kitchen but I had an idea where Calvin was. Charles was in the kitchen and he had orange juice on the table in the small breakfast nook with fresh coffee and Danish. He turned around as we entered. "Good morning Mr. Lee, Mr. Mark. There is coffee and juice on the table with sweet rolls. Would you like milk Mr. Mark?" "Yes I would Charles, has Calvin been down already, he isn't in his room?" "Mr. Calvin spent the night with Mr. William, they haven't came down yet. I'm sure they will be along soon though." Charles said, placing Mark's milk on the table. "Would you like anything else?" "Some fruit would be nice Charles if you have any." "I have a fruit cocktail I made if that would be satisfactory Mr. Lee." "It would indeed. Would you like some Mark?" "Yes sir. I wonder how long before Uncle Bill and Calvin come down? I was hoping we could go for a ride before we leave today." Charles set two bowls of the mixed fruit on the table as I poured myself a cup of coffee. Mark had not started eating but was looking worriedly at the upper level. "Mark, eat something." "Okay Uncle Lee, I was just wondering abo..." "Mark have you forgotten what we have talked about?" I said cutting him off. "Uncle Bill and Calvin will be down in good time." "Yes sir, it surprised me a little when Charles said Calvin had spent the night with Uncle Bill, that's all." "And why should that surprise you? You spent the night with me didn't you? Did you expect Calvin to be alone after I showed up yesterday? He probably needed comforting and who else would he go too? Weren't you feeling a little down after I left you here and didn't Calvin comfort you?" "Yes sir Uncle Lee, I'm sorry. I just didn't think." "Excuse me Mr. Lee." Charles said. "Mark there is something special between you and Calvin, always will be. You both were the first for each other and that is special. You are special to Mr. William but he knows where your heart is and so does Calvin. He loves you but he knows and I think he has told you he knows no one will ever replace Mr. Lee in your heart. What hopefully will happen between Mr. William and Calvin is what there is between you and Mr. Lee. Calvin will be the son that Mr. William has always wanted." "I still have some things to learn Charles, thanks for reminding me. I was really concerned for Calvin Uncle Lee. He means a lot to me." "We know Mark, Calvin means a lot to all of us and maybe just a little more too you. Things change though and we have to support each other." As we were talking, I heard a door close but didn't know which one until William walked into the kitchen. "Good morning everyone. Charles is the coffee ready?" "On the table William with juice and Danish. Would you like a bowl of mixed fruit?" "Yes, I would Charles, thank you. What are your plans for today Lee? I'd like to be on the way back to Louisville around lunchtime. I take it you will be returning to John's with Mark?" "You going home with me Uncle Lee?" "Yes. As soon as you finish eating you might want to get your things packed so we don't hold anyone up. I've got to call you parents and let them know about when we will be there." "John knows your coming then?" "Yes, Uncle Bill. I called him before I left Philadelphia but we didn't go into any depth as to why." None of us heard Calvin come into the room as we sat around the table talking until he said. "Good morning." "Calvin, your up!! I told Uncle Lee we might go for a ride before we leave if you want?" Mark says excitedly and William and Lee look at each other shaking their heads at his youthful exuberance. "Mark, Lee just told you about packing your things and Calvin needs too pack as well. If there is time after you are finished I don't see why not but we need to get a move on." * * * * * * * * * Mark and Calvin finished their breakfast quickly and excusing themselves ran up the stairs too Calvin's bedroom, most of Mark's things were still there. It was a sure bet their packing would not be as neat as it should be. "I better fix them a couple of sandwiches William, I doubt we will see them much before we leave." "Good idea Charles, the are probably going to the pond knoll." "Do you really think they will Uncle Bill, go to the pond." "Without a doubt Lee. Not for the reasons they visited there before though. They are two very lusty & sexual young men but right now they need time to talk and get certain things settled between them. I heard you talking with Mark about Calvin when I came in. Calvin talked with me at length last night about his feelings for Mark and you for that matter. He loves you both." "I hope he loves you as well." "He does Lee, in his own way. I don't expect him to fall head over heels in love with a man almost three times his age, that happens very seldom." "I fell in love with you Uncle Bill. No one will replace you in my life." "I appreciate that but the times and events were different then. We both had a need at that time and we filled it for each other. I knew then as you did that we would not be lovers as such, you had a life yet to be lived as Mark and Calvin do now. You are trying to teach Mark the pitfalls and circumstances he will encounter and how he should handle them much as I tried with you. You only had your brother John for support while he has his family that thankfully supports him. The big difference between he and you is that he knew early in his life that he loved you and there was a bond there that only needed nurturing. There has always been the bond of being uncle and nephew only becoming more real as he and you grew older. Mark more or less forced you into acknowledging your love for him." "It was foolish of me, trying to avoid it. I knew but ran instead of facing it with him." "You were but you faced it and resolved the situation beautifully by talking with your brother and his wife. I told you before that you should not underestimate John. You were lucky having a brother like him and the understanding he has. The bond between he and you is probably the greater for having talked with him about Mark. I imagine he had a pretty good idea how Mark felt before you talked. Mark is not very good at suppressing his feelings, something he has too learn to control." "I know that only too well, he is so full of energy it's almost overpowering at times. I only hope Calvin comes out of this un-scarred." "He will Lee. Calvin is a down to earth young man and realizes the limits of his relationship with Mark. They will be life long friends with no strain on their feelings for each other. Calvin had no one when they met while Mark had you. He knows the depths of Marks feelings for you and won't try and compete with that. I don't mean he will be content and accept the morsels that might fall but he will be there if Mark needs him much like you are when I need a little boost every now and then." "Wise as always Uncle Bill. Calvin is as fortunate as I was. If you will excuse me, I want to call John and give him our timetable and I have a couple of other calls I need to make. Are you still going to call Cliff about not needing him?" "Not since you said you wanted to talk with him. He is probably on the way right now. Why don't you call his cell phone number? I'm sure he has it with him." "Good idea, I'll do that right after I call John." * * * * * * * * Mark and Calvin packed quickly and as suspected, not that neatly. They both changed into jock straps and shorts with shoulder strap undershirts. Calvin watches as Mark dresses, his muscles rippling with every movement. Pulling his shirt on and moving to where Mark is buttoning his shorts he slips his arms around his waist pressing his body tight with his. "I love you Mark. You will always be my first love." "I love you too Calvin, that's what I want us to talk about alone by the pond." Kissing softly and looking into the depths of each other's eyes, a feeling of deep warmth flowing over them. "Show me once more before we leave Mark." Mark breaks away pulling Calvin with him. "Let's get the horses." He says huskily with a lump in his throat. Racing down the stairs together, Charles waits at the bottom with a small picnic container. "I thought you might get a little hungry riding. You didn't eat that much for breakfast." "Thanks Charles, you're the greatest." Mark says taking the container almost on a dead run as they run out the front door taking the robe from the back of William's chair with them. Charles smiles shaking his head and remembering his sons sadly. * * * * * * * * * While Mark and Calvin are packing and running out for their ride, Lee walks into the small den that serves as an office library for William. Picking up the phone, he dials John's number waiting while it rings several times before being answered. "Michaels residence." He hears as Sharon answers the phone. "Sharon, Lee." "Lee, where are you? How's Mark? Is everything alright?" Lee smiles, a mother always asks about her children first he thinks as he answers, "Mark is fine, everything is fine and I'm in Mt. Orab at Williams farm. Is John working already? I thought you and he went in together?" "He is but I have to take Loretta to the airport. She is leaving for college today or had you forgotten? When are you and Mark going to be here? He starts school on Wednesday." "Sorry Sharon, I had forgotten about Loretta. She's going to Kentucky Wesleyan isn't she?" "Yes. We were going to drive her but she's like you, hates long goodbyes." "Smart girl. Will someone be meeting her in Ashland?" "Her school has a bus that is meeting her and some other students. What about you guys?" "Mark and I will be leaving this afternoon after lunch. We should be home about 3. No need for you to take off work unless you want too. I have my keys and I'm sure Mark has his." "Then we will see you about 5 or so. I'm going into the office after I get back from the airport. You're sure everything is all right Lee? John said there was not much to tell after you called the other day except you were on your way back from Philadelphia." "It's a long story Sharon, I'll tell you both all about it after we get there. I hate missing Loretta though, tell her I love her for me." "I will, you be careful driving. Love you." The line went dead before he could answer and he hung the phone up thinking for a minute. He had forgotten about Loretta leaving for college and he hated that. A car pulled up as he was reaching for the phone to make another call. Getting up he walked to the front door as William came from the dining room. Cliff Adams was walking up the steps onto the porch carrying his attaché' case. "Cliff." Lee said pushing the screen door open. "I was just going to call you on your cell phone. Good to see you again." "You wouldn't have gotten me Lee, I didn't bring it along. What in hell are you doing here? William didn't tell me about you being here." "Same old Cliff, always looking on the bright side. Uncle Bill didn't know himself until yesterday. I'm on my way to my brother's. I was going to call you after I got there but meeting you here makes it better, no interruptions." "That means you're in trouble. Why do I only see you when you're in trouble? Where's William?" "Right here Cliff. I was going to call you and cancel your trip but Lee said he needed to talk with you and this would be a good time since your schedule must be clear for you to drive up here." "He is right, I needed a day off in the country. Good seeing you Bill. What about the real estate deal you wanted me for?" "Lets go inside instead of standing on the porch. Charles can fix you some breakfast if you would like some and then we can talk." "Just black coffee and some dry wheat toast if you have it Charles. How are you? Haven't seen you for awhile." "Doing very well Mr. Adams. Thank you. I'll serve your coffee and toast in the dining room." "No Charles." William said. "Serve it in the office if you don't mind. We can talk better in there." "Yes sir. I'll only be a few minutes." Lee and William walked on either side of Cliff into the office/library. Cliff was a robust man of 66 with a barrel chest and narrow waist. He had a shock of white hair and piercing watery gray eyes much like the TV lawyer Matlock. Under his casual gruff manner was the steel-trap mind of a very clever lawyer as many had found out that treated him a little too cavalierly. Cliff Adams had been in practice in Cincinnati for many years and had a reputation for being fair, honest and above board in his dealings with clients and opponents. He was known for not cutting corners and went for the jugular in cases he handled. Word wars were a waste of his time and he used hard facts with little embellishment. Lie or attempt to deceive him and you were dropped like a hot potato, he gave no second chances where the truth was concerned. Child abuse cases he handled pro bono and had a deep abiding hatred for molesters, abusers and pedophiles. His activism in gay rights was well known and he was an avid supporter of AIDS fund raising functions. Your sexuality was not his concern as long as you did not violate the law. Cliff had lost a nephew to AIDS when little was first known about the disease & people panicked when it became known that someone had contracted the disease. The doctors, paramedics and funeral directors that refused to treat or handle his nephew learned the name of Cliff Adams much too their chagrin when he sued for his sister and won every case. In short Cliff was a man you felt secure in calling a friend and he was a friend of Lee and William. Charles brought the refreshments that Cliff had asked for sitting them on the small coffee table in front of a leather love seat. Lee and William waited while he poured his coffee and then settled back in the couch. "William." Cliff said as he sipped his coffee. "When are you going to sell me this farm? You name it. I could retire from Cincinnati and set up a practice here with no trouble. What happened with the real estate deal, fall through?" "More or less Cliff. I didn't realize until almost too late that they would get the water rights along with the property and had plans of diverting the stream that runs through the property effectively taking it away from the acreage I was keeping and several of my neighborhoods." "They can't do that under the full disclosure laws. Was there anything about it in the contract?" "Nothing other then that the property they intended on developing would have a lake as its centerpiece. The water for that lake could only come from the stream that cuts through my property. They intended on damming it and cutting another bed so it would flow into the property they were developing. I found that out and put the entire deal on hold until I could talk with you about it. They had a local lawyer, Sylvester Goldburg, handling their end of it." "I know of him Bill, he is strictly into real estate. Never heard of him making any shady deals but he has been in the business a long time. He did some work over in Montgomery Country when the county wanted to condemn by right of public domain but he lost that. The owners still sold but not at the price he was trying to get them to buy at. Let me see the contract he made up." William handed the contract to him as he sat his coffee cup down. Scanning the papers he chuckled to himself. "Legal and pretty slick Bill. They had you if you had signed it. See these words hidden here in the property description." William & I looked at the contract where Cliff indicated seeing the words, "seller conveys to the buyer all rights and easements contained in said description of property bound by." "Most people don't read that deep Bill, good thing you did or they would have had you. What are you going to do now, find another buyer?" "No, I've decided to keep the farm intact and let Lee worry about it when it becomes his." "And after me, it goes to Mark but he doesn't know it yet." "Mark, Mark. You mean your nephew, that little boy? I'll never get this place at that rate." "Not so little now Cliff. Wait until you meet him. He and Calvin are out riding but should be back by lunch time." "And who is Calvin? What are you running a boys camp or something?" "Calvin is my protégée and there is some work I want you to do for me where he is concerned. I think Lee has something along the same lines he wants but he can tell you. When can you make a trip to Louisville? Calvin's mother is terminally ill with cancer and she and I have discussed adoption. Calvin is 19 and works for me in my store. He will be alone when his mother passes and I have grown fond of him. I am alone and need an heir. Mrs. Masters has no idea where the boys father is, he left them when Calvin was born." "It doesn't make any difference since the boy is 19 and of legal age but did they ever divorce?" "I don't think so but at this stage of the game it is pretty moot if they did or did not isn't it?" "True. Why can't Mrs. Masters visit my office Bill, I am pretty booked up for a few weeks." "Her condition is pretty bad. The doctors have only given her about 6 months or less. The boy knows of her condition and is taking it quite well. Calvin is pretty level headed and grasps the situation very quickly." "I'll have my secretary check my calendar and clear a few days. I'll have to let you know. Is there any more coffee?" "Charles will bring another thermos and maybe a couple of cups." William said as if he knew Charles was close by which he usually was. "Okay than Bill. How about you Lee, might as well keep the ball rolling while the coffee comes." "I don't know if you need to hear any more Cliff after all of that. Lets take a break, have our coffee and then you and I can take a walk & talk. Uncle Bill has some things he needs to get done before we leave this afternoon?" "Good idea Lee. I need to use the restroom while we wait for Charles. It's still upstairs isn't it?" No sooner were the words out of his mouth when Charles walked into the room carrying a loaded tray. He had added a few Danish with the coffee. Sitting it on the table he looked at Cliff. "If you will follow me Mr. Adams, I'll show you the downstairs restroom." William and I grinned as Cliff followed Charles looking a little befuddled shaking his head. "While we're waiting for Cliff Uncle Bill, I have some papers I need to get from my room. I'll be right back." * * * * * * * * Mark and Calvin saddled their horses and swung up onto their backs as if they had been born in them. Holding the reins loosely Calvin led the way out of the stables letting his horse follow the riding path into the woods. There was a cool breeze blowing and the sun filtered down through the thick canopy formed by the crowns of the trees their branches intermingled. The farm crew kept the path well cleared and they could ride side by side and they let the horses just walk at their pace. It was as if they sensed that their riders were not in a hurry. Neither boy spoke as they rode deeper into the woods each lost in his own thoughts for the moment. "Calvin, I really enjoyed being with you again. I'll miss you after we leave. Maybe we can see each other on weekends or holidays or something?" "Maybe we can Mark but its not going to be that easy. You go back to school day after tomorrow and I'll be working with Uncle Bill and taking night classes like he wants me too. I want to also but it will take a lot of time." "We can't just break up Calvin, there must be something we can work out?" Mark said hanging his head a little. They rode on a little further and heard the little waterfall that dropped into the pond by the grassy knoll. Sliding off their backs Mark untied the picnic container that Charles had packed while Calvin brought the blanket from the back of his horse. They wrapped the reins loosely around their saddle pommels letting them graze. Spreading the blanket on the damp ground they sat down on it opening the lunch. Neither one was really hungry but they both were thinking about what to say next as they took halfhearted bites from the sandwiches. "Mark." Calvin said breaking the silence." We both know pretty much what the future holds and our being lovers is not part of it. That may be what we think we want but we know better. I love you and you love me and that's the most we can expect of each other. No one will ever make me feel like you do in or out of bed and I don't intend on trying to find out. If it should happen, I'll cross that bridge when I get there if I get there. Except for my mother no one has ever said they love me until I met you, I'll never forget that moment Mark, never. It's been a great weekend but you will be leaving with your uncle and I'll still be alone except for Uncle Bill. But that's not a bad thing Mark. Uncle Bill loves me but like a son not like you do. He may or may not ever want sex with me but he said no strings attached when he offered me his help. I don't know what will happen if he were to ask but to be honest I probably will. It does not mean I will forget you or what we mean to each other Mark, that will never happen." Calvin sat waiting for Mark to reply but he was silent breathing deep. Placing his hand on his thick hard muscled forearm he felt those little sparks the jumped between them every time they touched. Mark lifted his head, his eyes glistening with the tears they held and he smiled at Calvin. "You're right, I just hated admitting it. I guess I was afraid I'd lose you even though we won't be that far away from each other. Things will work out for all of us Calvin. I know they will. We weren't brought together like we have been just to be torn apart again." Mark said as he leaned to Calvin brushing his lips with his, feeling Calvin respond moving closer. Discarding their sandwiches they stood and removed each other's clothing piece by piece, their fingers sending sharp tingling sensations into each other. Hard cocks sprang free from restraining jockstraps and they both sucked air between clinched teeth as the cool breeze washed over their naked bodies. Kneeling they leaned into each other their lips locking in a deep passionate kiss as their hands ran over smooth muscled bodies. Hard cocks fought for supremacy as they ground their bodies tighter. The coolness of the breeze increased as a light sweaty sheen bathed them straining to feel more of each other. Muscles tightened at the intense ecstatic feelings of need engulfing them. Calvin leaned his head back gazing into the hazel depths of Marks eyes, soft waves of love flowed between them. . "Take me Mark, please take me. Make love to me." Calvin said as he laid his head on his broad muscled shoulder. "No Calvin." Mark whispered kissing him at the nape of his neck tasting the salty sweat, feeling the intense beating of his heart as he held him close, his sweet clean body aroma filling his nostrils. "Let's make love to each other." The sun broke through the canopy of the trees bathing them in a golden halo of light their smooth muscled bodies glistening as they lowered themselves onto the blanket. Slowly they took the hard throbbing length of the other swallowing, coupling deep within themselves as a euphoric envelope surrounded them the love they felt for each other churning, surging, consuming them and then delivered in strong pulsing surging streams as they sealed a life long bond tasting and consuming the others life giving seed. Mark and Calvin held each other close in the afterglow of their giving of each other freely one to the other knowing they would always be there for each other. * * * * * * * * * "We can do no great things --- only small things with great love."
