This story is pure fiction as are all the characters, it's totally from my
imagination with a bit taken from my fantasies.  Thanks once again to all
of you who have taken the time to e-mail your comments, some of those
comments have really touched me deeply, here's Chapter 17 of "The Love of
Brothers".


"The Love of Brothers"

Chapter 17

Winter has come and gone, Elizabeth and Joseph had a wonderful wedding in
the new church, everyone in the entire community came filling the little
chapel to overflowing.  Mary was in Heaven, she had outdone herself
decorating the church with the most beautiful flowers from all over the
world.  The newlyweds have moved into the parsonage and Elizabeth had taken
on the task of teaching Sunday School classes as well as making sure the
church has fresh flowers for each service.  Mary shares much of the joy
with Elizabeth in keeping the church filled with flowers, the two women
have become as close as mother and daughter.

Frank, Jack and Tony had taken care of buying seed, and the early planting
was in just waiting for spring rains to moisten the earth and germinate the
seed.  Michael and Gerald have the responsibilities of selecting groceries
and preparing the family meals.  Much to everyone's delight Gerald's
culinary skills are unsurpassed, each meal was not only mouth watering to
their taste buds, but was presented as a visual treat.  When there was only
the men present the meals took on an sensual appearance as well.  It's
amazing what erotic delights can show up on the dining table when two
talented men put their minds to it.  As it turned out, Michael and Gerald
were as talented with their artistic presentation of their meals as they
were in creating meals that would please the palate of any gourmet dining
reporter evaluating cuisine from around the world.

Chuck had the financial end of the farm bringing in enough money to not
only break even but to invest in some Arabian horses to enliven the stables
with their beauty and speed.

Warren's comfort zone with Michael and Gerald had reached a point where
they almost acted and reacted as one entity.  The three of them were so
much in love it was a joy just to witness.  The guys were now twenty years
old and had become excellent horsemen thanks to the efforts of Jack, Frank,
Mark, and Sam.  Gil and Jeff were inseparable and busy in their respective
businesses as the community continues to grow.  Slim and Roger's cafaŠ was
always full to overflowing.

Larry and Martin, with the help of Lance and Stan had built and opened a
large Bed and Breakfast they named "Serenity". It was not only a welcoming
beacon for visitors, but doubled as a refuge for men coming into the area
who had been physically and emotionally crippled by dysfunctional families
and societal pressures.  Everyone was welcomed with open arms and given the
respect all God's children deserve.  Here they could live and work as they
regained their self-worth along with mental and emotional stability.  The
bed and breakfast became the heart of the Hamlet as time went on.

A young man staying in one of the third floor suites had arrived about two
weeks ago in a rental car with a single suitcase and nothing more.  He paid
in advance for a corner suite for a month, and other than signing his name
as Jason Graham he rarely spoke.  He stood about six feet, with dark wavy
hair, fair skin that was deeply tanned with a slim but muscular build.
Larry and Martin thought him to be very handsome with the exception of
having the saddest blue eyes they'd ever seen.

Jason was walking out of the B & B as Brad was headed for the Haberdashery
when Larry waved from the porch distracting Brad who ran head long into
Jason knocking him off balance.  Both men grabbed at each other in their
attempt to keep from falling, neither of them were able to gain solid
footing causing them to tumble back onto the grass.

Brad managed to swing himself around so he would hit the ground first
trying to protect the man he ran into from getting hurt.  Jason landed with
a thud on top of Brad, nose to nose, blue eyes to green.  Staring at each
other for several seconds before Brad said, "I'm sorry I should have been
watching were I was going, I hope you're not hurt.  Jason was still laying
on top of Brad staring into his green eyes with no attempt at getting up.
Brad introduced himself, "I'm Brad, I'd shake your hand but you're laying
on top of my arms".  Jason finally snapped out of his daze enough to get up
and give Brad a helping hand.  Larry had came down and asked if they were
okay.  Brad and Jason turned and looked at him without saying a word before
they started apologizing to each other.  Larry mumbled something like "I do
believe there's a bit of an attraction between those two" and walked back
to the porch with a grin on his face.

Brad said he was at fault for turning to wave at a friend when he should
have been paying attention to where he was going.  Jason said, "apology
accepted no harm done, and asked where Brad was headed in such a hurry,?"
Brad replied that he was on his way to the Haberdashery to pick up some new
riding boots.  That comment seemed to put a small sparkle in Jason's eyes,
not missing an opportunity to keep the conversation going Brad asked Jason
if he was a horseman.  "Yes, well I used to, I haven't ridden in several
months".  Brad went on to explain they had some new Arabians at the stables
that were still a bit rambunctious and he wanted to work out some of their
pent up energy before some of the younger guys decided to take them out for
a ride.  "I don't want anyone getting hurt".

A smile appeared on Jason's face.  Brad said, "something tells me you're
familiar with horses in a big way, want to fill me in?"  Suddenly as it had
appeared the sparkle seemed to fade out of Jason's eyes which caused a
twinge in Brad's heart.  There was something more to this handsome man than
he was letting on and Brad decided on the spot that he was going to be
Jason's best friend until he found out what had broken Jason's spirit.
"Hey if you're not too busy would you mind spending some time helping me
pick out a decent pair of riding boots?"  That faint smile returned as
Jason said he guessed he could, there wasn't anything else he had to do
other than go for a walk.

Once inside the store David came over to greet Brad and meet the man who
was with him.  "David this is Jason, he's visiting for a while and staying
at the B & B.  I dragged him here to help me pick out a pair of riding
boots, I have a feeling he's more familiar with what I'm looking for than
I'll ever be.  That crack actually got a chuckle out of Jason, which oddly
enough made Brad's heart beat a little faster.  David said there were a
great many riding boots available and asked Brad what he had in mind.  "I'm
really not sure David, I think I'd like something that came high on my leg
with a full heel to catch securely in the stirrup".  Jason volunteered a
selection of English riding boots that were custom made to fit like a glove
with a full heel which was a necessity when riding a spirited horse,
especially an Arabian.

That's what I had in mind Jason but I haven't a clue as to where they would
be made and how to go about ordering them.  "If you don't mind Brad I'll
take care of ordering a pair for you if you'll let me, I have a private
boot maker in Yorkshire County that'll give you a perfect fit".  Jason that
would be great.  David spoke up saying he had the size information that
Jason would need and will print it out so you can pass it on to your boot
maker.  "Jason this is my lucky day, nothing like knocking a handsome man
down in order to get a pair of boots I want".  Jason smiled, "perhaps it's
my lucky day Brad".  "Let me write you a check, or do suppose your boot
maker would rather have money wired to him directly?"  "That can be taken
care of anytime, first let's find out when they'll be made and then how you
like the fit of the boots".

"Well at least let me buy you lunch as a way of saying thank you".  Brad
kept a friendly conversation going during lunch, Jason was quiet but seemed
to enjoy Brad's company.  Paying the bill Brad asked Jason if he'd like to
ride out to the farm and see the Arabians.  Jason looked down like he was
searching his soul for an answer to that simple question, the sadness in
his face was almost heartbreaking to see.  Brad reached over and laid his
hand over Jason's and with a gentle smile took his hand in his and said,
"come on it'll be fun and I can show you around the farm, you'll meet some
wonderful people".  Getting up still holding Jason's hand he led him out of
the CafaŠ and opened the door to his truck for Jason to slide in.

Arriving at the farm Jason's eyes actually lit up as he took in the beauty
of the sight before him.  "This is beautiful, it reminds me of an English
landscape".  "That's what the architects intended Jason".  Stopping at the
stables the place was alive with activity, Frank and Mark were riding
together across the meadow as the Arabians came galloping up and over the
hills.  Jason climbed on the fence and watched as the beautiful horses came
running by, "Brad they're gorgeous animals, they look as if they could have
come from King Saud's own stables".  "If I didn't know better I'd swear
that golden colored Arabian was "Dancing Prince".  Brad's mouth fell open
as he looked at Jason.  Jason stared at Brad for a minute before saying,
"what?"

"Jason that is Dancing Prince, he was flown in from Saudi Arabia a month
ago, how could you possibly know that horse by sight?"  This time it was
Jason's turn to stare at Brad, "The Prince would never allow that horse to
be sold, I don't understand".  "That makes two of us Jason, I'm afraid I
don't have a clue as to how Stan managed to have it brought here".  Stan,
overhearing the conversation said, "maybe I can clear up the matter".  Brad
and Jason both turned at hearing Stan's voice, Brad introduced Jason to
Stan before Stan continued his story.  "Dad and the Crown Prince had met
several years ago when dad and mother were trying to get permission to
visit Mount Sinai, they became friends and one evening something happened
that the Crown Prince asked dad to keep secret which dad did, teasing the
prince dad said he'd collect on that favor in the future, never really
intending to do so of course.

When our agent was there procuring some of the best Arabians from the royal
stables it turned out that Prince had somehow angered the king, there by
sending the prince's favorite horse to our farms.  The real mystery is how
you could possibly recognize a horse that belonged to the Saudi Royal
Family.

Jason looked like he was going to be sick, he'd turned a deathly white and
Brad grabbed him before he could fall.  Stan told Brad to stay with him and
he ran to get Warren.  Warren checked Jason over and placed a cool compress
on his forehead.  "I don't think it's anything serious it appears that he's
had an emotional shock to his system".  Stan noticed Brad hadn't let go of
Jason's hand the entire time, perhaps the loner of the marines has found
someone that's captured his heart.  Jason kept apologizing and saying he
shouldn't be there, Brad and Stan brushed his apologies aside and told him
he was more than welcome at the farm.  Frank and Mark had rode up seeing
the commotion, Frank, in that loving manner of his came over and knelt
beside Jason and Brad, putting his hand on Jason's knee and looking into
his eyes said, "Jason it's okay, your brother's going to be fine".  Jason's
eyes filled with tears as he leaned into Brad's shoulder and cried.  Jack
came up and put his arm around Stan's waist and said, "we need to talk to
grandpa".

Frank placed his hand on Jason's head as he whispered, "trust us, Jamie's
fine, we'll bring him home", he then followed Jack and Stan toward the main
house.  Warren and Brad just looked at each other knowing whatever Frank
and Jack knew they'd also know when it was necessary.  Brad walked Jason to
his apartment and had him lay down as he sat beside him on the bed still
holding Jason's hand.  When you're up to it your welcome to tell me what's
going on Jason, but only if you want to.

"What did that guy mean when he said, Jamie would be okay?"  "And how did
he know my name?"  Chuckling Brad said, "Jason the best I can tell you is
that when Frank tells you something you can depend on it, and as far as how
he knows what he knows it's just pretty much accepted by the rest of us, he
and his brother Jack are special in a spiritual sense".  "They're very
close to God in a way that most of the human race has forgotten how to do".

"You want to tell me what brought you to the Hamlet?"  "Brad I was drawn
here after my father blamed me for Jamie's arrest and imprisonment in Saudi
Arabia".  "Dad said he never wanted to see my face again.  Jamie has always
been dad's pride and joy, especially after I told him I was gay".  Jason
went on to tell Brad that his family was in the oil drilling business
headquartered in Dallas.  They had developed a diamond tipped drill that
could rapidly punch deep into the earth to test for oil deposits without
the usual huge array of men, materials, and expense.  The Saudi's hired
them to test new sites they were interested in for possibly increasing
their oil production.

While working at one of the sites, Jamie accidentally backed into a young
woman from the Saudi Royal Family, she fell and her veil came loose
exposing her face, Jamie turned and took her hand to help her up, she
screamed and the next thing we knew Jamie was in a Saudi Jail.  Brad said,
"it sound like a clash of cultures, although it was unfair and one a sided
clash of cultures".  "It seems Americans are suppose to recognize, accept
and make adjustments for other cultures who come here, but when visiting
other nations we're supposed to immediately adapt to their cultures with
penalty of imprisonment or death if we accidentally cross a cultural
barrier".

"Why would your father blame you for your brother's imprisonment, that
doesn't make sense".  "Dad said I was a coward for leaving Jamie behind, I
should have stayed and made sure he was released and brought him home".
"Brad, I was immediately taken by guards and put in a cell".  "Later that
evening guards came in, handcuffed and gagged me, then dragged me out to a
helicopter and flew me to the Cairo airport, tossed me onto the tarmac and
threw my passport at me before flying off."  "I explained this to dad and
he just shook his head saying I was a fucking little pansy and he wanted me
out of his house and didn't ever want to see my face again".  "I knew he
wasn't happy about my being gay, but I thought he had accepted the fact
that I was and life went on".  "At least now I know what he really thinks".

"Brad do you really believe Stan's dad can get Jamie released, the Saudi's
are a pretty hard nosed bunch".  "Yes I do Jason, David has more pull than
many national leaders, especially the guy who's now occupying the White
House, besides David has a favor to call in with the Crown Prince.  "Brad,
I should be getting back to the Bed and Breakfast, I've upset everyone at
the farm enough for the day".  "Jason you haven't upset anything or anyone,
what is happening here is what is supposed to happen, if you stick around
long enough, and I hope you do, you'll discover very little happens here by
accident".  "I have to admit, this place has a special aura about it".
Brad asked Jason to spend the rest of the day and night with him, if there
was any news coming in about Jamie this would be the place to be.

Brad sat beside Jason leaning with his arm over Jason's body looking down
into those sad blue eyes, hoping to see that terrible sadness replaced by
the happiness that belongs there.  Jason in turn was looking up into Brad's
deep green eyes wondering why he felt like he was falling in love with a
man he'd only known for part of a day.  Jason reached up and touched Brad's
face, Brad leaned down kissing him, Jason responded by putting his arms
around Brad's neck and pulling him down on top of him deepening the gentle
kiss into a more passionate one.  Breaking the kiss, Brad folded Jason into
his arms hugging him close as he whispered, "I could get used to this real
easy Jason".  Jason replied, "I think that makes two of us Brad, I feel
like I belong in your arms".

Brad asked Jason if he'd like to take a ride on horseback to see the rest
of the farm telling him that they'd be notified if any news came in
concerning Jamie.  Jason said, he'd like to and Brad saddled a couple of
horses and they were off after letting Lance and Stan where they were
going.  It was one of the crystal clear spring days when the green of the
new grass and leaves seemed to sparkle.  They made it as far as the hill
where they could see David and Mary's place when they stopped to enjoy the
view.  Mary, Elizabeth and Joseph were sitting out on the veranda waving as
they saw the two riders.  Brad said, "lets stop by and say hi, it's Mary's
husband David who's making things happen in Saudi Arabia to make sure Jamie
is returned to the states as quickly as possible".

Jason said there was no way he could turn down an offer to meet the people
responsible for helping to get Jamie freed.  By the time they reached the
veranda and had their horses tied, Mary had already brought two additional
cups of tea out.  Introductions were made and the discussion turned to
Jamie and the incident that brought about his incarceration.  Joseph said a
prayer for the Lord's hand to move quickly in resolving Jamie's situation.
Jason was somewhat overwhelmed with the love that each person showed him.
David came out of the house, phone in hand walking over to Jason he said,
"since I don't recognize you I'm guessing your Jason, there's someone on
the phone who would like to speak to you", with that David handed Jason the
phone, giving Brad a wink.  "No one knows I'm here, are you sure it's for
me?"  "Oh I'm quite sure, you'd better say something before he hangs up".
"Hello, this is Jason speaking, "JASON", it's Jamie where are you I don't
recognize this number?"  "JAMIE", "are you alright, I've been so worried
about you".  "I've been worried sick about you too, no one told me that
they let you go back home, I was afraid you were stuck in that rat hole of
a prison ".  "Jamie are you free, did they let you go?"  "Yes, thanks to
you, I don't know how you did it Jason but I was released, bathed, shaved,
clothed, and treated like I was a member of the royal family before they
put me on a plane to France where I'm calling you from".

"Jamie, I can take credit for any of this it was all arranged by people I
met here in Michigan, I can't tell you how amazing this place and everyone
here are".  "Michigan, why aren't you with dad in Dallas?"  "Jamie, dad
blamed me for leaving you in Saudi Arabia and after saying some pretty
awful things he told me he never wanted to see my face again, I'm not even
sure how I ended up here in Michigan but I'm sure glad I did".

Jamie asked where the nearest airport was to wherever Jason was located and
Jason told him it was Grand Rapids, "but aren't you going to Dallas to see
dad he's been worried sick about you?"  "I'll call dad and let him know
I've been released and also let him know it was because of you and your
friends, then I'll fly into Kennedy in New York and take a connecting
flight to Grand Rapids".  "Dad won't see me until he comes crawling to you
with a heartfelt apology, he's been a real prick about how he's treated you
since you came out to us about being gay and it's going to stop now".  "I
love you Jason, since mom died you've all I got in the world and you need
to know you come first in my life".  "If dad can't or won't open his heart
to both of us, he can kiss my sorry ass".  "I gotta go bro, they're calling
my flight number, see you in Grand Rapids".

Jason hung up with tears in his eyes, Brad stood up and pulled Jason into
his arms, "I take it that was Jamie and good news".  Half crying half
laughing, Jamie said, "yeah, that was my big brother, he's on his way here
from France, he'll let us know when he arrives in Grand Rapids, I hope you
won't mind having another visitor for a while".  "Are you kidding everyone
one will want to meet him".  For the first time Jason had a smile on his
face that took Brad's away, that and the fact that a sparkle of happiness
had replaced the sadness in Jason's eyes almost had Brad overcome with
emotion.  "We'll fly you down in the helicopter and meet him on his
arrival, you can fly back here together you two must have a lot of catching
up to do".  "Helicopter?"  "Yes on the other side of that barn there's a
landing pad and that end of the barn has been made into a hanger".
"Someone better pinch me I feel like I must be dreaming".  Joseph reached
over and pinched him.  "Ouch!"  "Laughing, Joseph said, "nope you're not
dreaming".

After repeated thanks and hugs to everyone Brad and Jason made their way
back to the farm.  On the way Jason asked Brad if he thought the others
would mind if Jamie stayed with them at the farm while he was visiting.
"Of course he can stay at the farm, there's no need to ask".  "Well I was
wondering since I have a feeling that most everyone here is gay I was
hoping they wouldn't mind having a straight guy in the mix".  Laughing Brad
said he figured if Jamie could put up with a bunch of gay men running
around, they wouldn't mind him being there at all.  "Everyone is welcome
here Jason".  "You know Brad this is going to take a lot of getting used
to, there's such a feeling of harmony here, it's like everyone is on the
same page with the understanding that love is love and it doesn't matter
who you love".  "That's exactly the way it is here Jason, you've caught the
essence of the Hamlet in that one statement".

"I do have a question for you, and I hope I'm not being to forward by
asking, but will you stay with me in my apartment while Jamie's here, he's
welcome to stay with us or he can have his own apartment, but I really want
you to stay with me, I'm growing attached to you in a serious way".  "Brad
you don't have to ask, I want to be with you too, the attraction between us
is mutual".  "Now I have a question for you".  "Okay shoot, what is it?"
Will you fly down to Grand Rapids with me when I meet Jamie, I want you to
meet him, but more than that I want you to stay close to me, I hope that
doesn't sound juvenile".  "Juvenile? It sounds exactly how I feel about
you, like I don't want you out of my sight".  Leaning over Brad kissed
Jason with a passion that had blood rushing to both men's groins.

Michael and Gerald had gone out of their was to fix a deliciously sensual
dinner, but the eroticism displayed in vegetables, and other dishes was
enough to get a rise out of every man there.  With each man pointing and
laughing at each erotic display Jason sat there with a silly grin on his
face just watching the fun that was taking place.  Brad reached over and
slid his hand over Jason's thigh and found a rather large and very hard
erection, Jason started to blush as he received a wink from Brad and a
squeeze right where it felt good.  "No embarrassment here Jason, remember
we're all on the same page".  Reaching over and running his hand down the
front of Brad's pants to give his bare cock a tug, he replied, "got ya!"
Brad's eyes bulged a bit before saying, "indeed you have, and if you keep
that up you're going to have a hand full of cum".  With a chuckle and a
wink Jason withdrew his hand saying, "let's save it for later".

Returning to their apartment Brad closed the door behind Jason and
plastered him against it with a warm and passionate kiss.  Jason wrapped
his arms around Brad's neck and pulled him in even tighter.  Soon shirts
were coming off and bare skin was against bare skin, the kisses grew bolder
as both men couldn't get enough of each other.  Brad pulled Jason's belt
open, unzipped his pants and shoved them down with his thumbs pulling
Jason's briefs off at the same time.  Jason kicked his shoes off and
stepped out of his jeans leaving him naked from head to foot, Brad couldn't
believe the beauty of the man.  Jason unfastened Brad's pants as they
dropped to the floor he stepped out of them not wearing any briefs.
Kissing, licking, and tasting each other they worked their way to the
bedroom where Brad gently pushed Jason down and climbed on top of him,
"Jason you're almost to gorgeous to be believed".  "Look who's talking,
Brad you have to be the best looking piece of manhood I've ever laid eyes
on".

Brad was working he way from nipple to nipple as he slid down Jason's chest
covered with a dusting of silken hair that led him straight to Jason's
pubes and a beautiful cock with a bead of precum resting on it's tip.  Brad
ran his tongue over Jason's cock slit moaning as he tasted the sweet
essence of Jason for the first time.  Licking around the head of Jason's
cock before swallowing it down to the root with his nose in Jason's pubes
he continued to moan his pleasure.  Jason ran his hands through Brad's hair
and whisptered his name as Brad continued to deep throat his cock working
it with his throat muscles making Jason shutter with pleasure.  Licking
down the shaft Brad sucked in both of Jason's balls, licking and rolling
them in his mouth tucking gently as he used his hand to stroke Jason's
cock.  Brad reached up and Jason sucked his fingers into his mouth before
Brad ran them over Jason's pucker causing Jason to almost shout his name.

Letting his balls slip from his mouth, Brad pushed Jason's legs apart and
up giving him access to Jason's asshole which he circled with his tongue
before running it over his pucker.  Jason relaxed enough to let Brad run
his tongue as far as he could reach up his hole as Jason pushed back
wanting more.  Brad slipped in a finger, than two, followed quickly by
three, Jason continued to push back on Bran's hand letting him know what he
wanted, and what he wanted was for Brad to fuck him.  Almost whimpering
Jason said, "Brad, now, fuck me now, I can't wait any longer".

"The lubes in the top drawer Jason, toss it to me, which Jason did, Brad
lubed Jason's hole thoroughly before lubing his shaft, kneeling with
Jason's legs wrapped around his waist Brad pushed in past Jason's outer
ring and waited for Jason to adjust to the feeling of being filled.  Jason
said, Brad move I'm ready, Brad started to push in slowly not wanting to
hurt his new lover.  Jason reached back grabbing Brad's hips and pulled
Brad forward as he pushed himself back onto Brad's cock forcing Brad ball
deep into his ass.  "Now fuck me Brad, I need you to fuck me, I want you in
me as deep as you can get".  Brad tilted Jason up just slightly so he would
be hitting Jason's joy spot with each thrust which sent Jason into ecstasy.
Brad continued to hit his prostrate over and over as Jason called out his
name.  Bending over Jason Brad was able to kiss him allowing Jason to suck
his tongue into his mouth as Brad's chest rubbed on Jason's sensitive cock
bringing them both to a shuttering climax with Brad shooting his load deep
into Jason's gut as Jason shot his seed over both their chests before Brad
collapsed onto Jason, dripping with sweat soaking the sheets as they both
tried to steady their breathing and allowing their heartbeats to return to
a normal pace.

Brad turn to Jason with those gorgeous green eyes of his and whispered,
"that was fantastic Jason I've never felt anything like it before".
Smiling back and giving Brad a light kiss as he said, "that makes it the
best for both of then Brad, I may walk funny in the morning but I'll
remember it for a long time after that.  Brad said, "hopefully there'll be
many more just as good".  "There better be lover, and I want to return the
favor if you're willing to bottom for me something".  "For you, anything,
anytime Lover".

The following day two dreamy eyed men came in to the main house for
breakfast, getting a few teasing cat calls brought on by the silly grins
they both had on their faces.  During breakfast a call came in for Jason
from his brother informing him he's land in Grand Rapids about six that
evening.  Jason was so excited he could hardly contain himself, all the
guys congratulated him on his brother's return giving him one bear hug
after the other.  Turning to Brad Jason asked what time Brad thought they
should leave for the airport.  "It's about a fifty minute flight by
helicopter so if we leave by four this afternoon that'll get us in about an
hour early so we can leave then if you like, or earlier if you feel you
want to be there sooner, it's entirely up to you Jason".  "No, there's no
reason for us to be sitting around an airport, if we leave around four
o'clock that'll be good".

The rest of the day was spent with Jason laughing and hugging Brad every
chance he got with Brad loving every minute of it.  Jason and Brad boarded
the helicopter at four o'clock sharp.  Lifting off the pad they waved back
at David and Mary before settling back for the fifty minute ride.  By this
time Jason was so excited Brad had to struggle to keep him buckled in his
seat, Jason squeezed Brad's hand so hard a couple of times Brad thought his
circulation was cut off.

Landing in Grand Rapids Brad did his best to keep Jason busy and away from
Starbuck's Coffee kiosk, the last thing Jason needed was caffeine adding
more stimulation to his system.  United Flight 432 landed early, Jason was
a total basket case by the time he saw Jamie coming up the corridor, Brad
was stunned when he saw Jamie, he was a little older and taller carbon copy
of Jason, the two brothers threw themselves at each other.  To Brad's
surprise Jamie kissed Jason on the lips before hugging him.  Brad noticed a
tear running down Jamie's cheek before he quickly brushed it away.  If he
didn't miss his guess Jamie's love for his younger brother was deeper than
he believed Jason realized.

Jamie released Jason long enough to shake Brad's hand and hug him saying,
"so you're the guy who's put that twinkle in Jason's eyes, I have to admit
I'm a little jealous of both of you".  Brad replied, "I think your safe
return has as much to do with Jason's happiness as anything I've done
Jamie".  "My safe return may have put a smile on his face, but I'm sure
you're the one who's put the twinkle in his eyes".  Brad was thinking,
"There's a message in Jamie's comment that he's jealous of both of us, this
is an interesting development, I think a chat with Jamie when the time is
right might be helpful".

Picking up Jamie's bags they headed out to the helicopter which caught
Jamie off guard, "we're traveling by helicopter to where you live, that's a
bit much isn't it Jason".  "Not my idea Jamie you're going to be surprised
at the wonderful community we're heading for".  Jamie sat between Jason and
Brad for the fifty minute flight home with arms around both men's
shoulders.  Brad was thinking, "this man is filled with love, he's very
special, I have such a good feeling about him".  With all the chatter
between them, they were landing at David's before they realized it at just
about eight fifteen.  David, Mary, Lance, Stan, along with half the
marine's were there to greet them.

Stepping from the helicopter Jamie was overwhelmed with the loving
reception he received, it was love from these wonderful people that
permeated the air as he shook hands and received hugs from everyone there.
By the time they arrived at the Meadows it was after nine and Jamie's
fatigue was showing after his nearly twenty six hour non-stop flight from
Saudi Arabia, via France, New York and to Grand Rapids.  Brad and Jason
took him to their apartment and asked if there was anything they could get
for him.  Laughing Jamie said, what would feel great is a long soak in a
hot tub.  Brad said, "we just happen to have one of those handy if you
don't mind sharing it with some of the other men who live here".  "You're
kidding me, you have a hot tub here?"  "That we do, with all kinds of
therapeutic jets to relax your sore and weary muscles".

"Lead me to it guys, although I'm not sure where or even if I have a swim
suit to wear if that's needed".  "None needed, it's just us guys and I
don't think there's ever been a swimsuit in the Jacuzzi".  Brad led the
way, as they entered the area where the Jacuzzi was they found at least
eight other guys soaking, relaxing, and a bit of frolicking going on here
and there.  The only person who seemed nervous was Jason who whispered to
Brad that this might not be a good idea with Jamie being straight.  Brad
whispered back, "let's just go with the flow and see how it all works out,
stop worrying, if Jamie doesn't want anything to happen it won't happen,
these guys won't cross any lines".  Jamie was the first to lose his clothes
and what a figure he cut standing there naked with a build that could
easily have made it big in the male modeling business.

Some of the guys had met Jamie at David's when the helicopter came in, the
others soon introduced themselves as Jamie, Brad, and Jason eased into the
hundred and one degree water.  Frank showed Jamie how the jets works as
Brad demonstrated them to Jason, soon everyone was relaxing and laughing at
each others stories, Jason even managed to relax as he noticed Jamie
enjoying himself in complete comfort with the other guys.  Within a few
minutes Jamie scooted over next to Brad and Jason telling them how
wonderful this was, "it's just what I needed to get some of the knots out
of my muscles".  Jamie kissed his brother on the cheek, saying how good it
was to be with him, Jason smiled and said, "man I have missed you so much".

Jack came over and started to massage Jamie's legs starting with his
calves, Jamie leaned his head back against Jason's shoulder and moaned as
Jack worked his legs.  Kentucky was sitting on Tony's lap facing him
stealing kisses as he massaged Tony's shoulder muscles, Brad notice Jason
was starting to tense up and leaned over and gave him a passionate kiss
which did the trick putting him at ease, "relax Jason, your brother is
really enjoying himself".  Leaning over Jason, Brad kissed Jamie on the
lips as Jason's eyes bugged out, Jamie looked at Jason and winked as he
kissed Brad back.  Brad licked Jason's nose and lips before whispering in
his ear, "are you starting to get the picture?"  Jason was still sitting
with his mouth open in shock as Jack, who's not known for his shyness took
Jamie's very hard and very large cock down his throat as Jamie raise his
pelvis up so Jack could get more of it in his mouth without putting his
face in the hot water.

Jason turned to Brad, "I never had any idea Jamie liked to be with men".
"Jason I don't think he has been with other men before now, what you don't
realize is, you're the man he's wanted to be with".  "Jason, Jamie's in
love with you".  Jamie still had his head resting on Jason's shoulder
leaning against him as Jack continued to use his throat muscles to massage
his cock to the point of climax.  Jack looked up at Brad and motioned with
his eyes toward Jason, Brad kissed Jason's cheek as he whispered for him to
kiss his brother.  Jason looked doubtful but did as Brad suggested and
kissed Jamie just as he shot his load down Jacks waiting throat.  Jamie
reached over and grasp Jason's cock in his hand as he sucked Jason's tongue
into his mouth for a wonderfully passionate kiss, mumbling Jason's name as
he did.  Something he's been longing to do for since Jason turned fifteen.

Follow his climax Jamie's exhaustion took over as he drifted into an almost
immediate sleep with Jason and Brad catching him under the arms before he
slid complete beneath the water.  Jack and Frank helped them dry Jamie and
wrap a towel around him so they could get him back to their apartment.
Jason still looking shocked at what just took place with his brother, asked
Brad if they should put Jamie in the extra bedroom.  Jamie in his near
sleep state mumbled, "I want to sleep with you guys".  Brad looked up at
Jason and said, "let's put him in our bed, we'll put him in the middle so
he can't fall out when he falls into a deeper sleep state".  "Why do you
think he might fall out of bed Brad?"  Jason he's been though an almost
sleepless forty-eight hours, there's likely to be some fall out from his
stay in Prison when he reaches his dream state".

As it turned out Brad had hit the nail on the head, Jamie started to talk
in his sleep as he tossed and thrashed about.  He'd call out Jason's name
and start to cry, screaming don't hurt my brother, please don't hurt my
brother, before falling back into a temporarily more restful sleep.  Jason
looked at Brad with tear filled eyes, "My God Brad he thought they were
hurting me, what must they have done to him if he was worried about me".
"Jason we'll need to help Jamie through this, he'll need to be able to talk
about what happened to him so his emotional health will return".  "He has a
good start by openly confronting his love for you tonight".  "I suggest
when he wakes up tomorrow, that you continue showing him love to avoid any
doubts in Jamie's mind that he's made a mistake in confessing his feelings
for you".  "Brad, I'm in love with you, I do love Jamie, but I don't want
to lose you, I'm feeling pretty confused about all of this myself".

"Jason you're not going to lose me, I'm in love with you too, so feel
secure in knowing that, we'll just have to take this one step and one day
at a time, it'll all work itself out, trust me on this one".  "Jamie is
right where he needs to be and right now he needs to be with us where he
knows he's safe and loved".  "You're amazing Brad, I'm so lucky you
accidentally ran into me the other day".  "There are no accidents Jason,
what's happening is what is supposed to happen in our lives, it's all the
way it was meant to be".  "You and I aren't going to get much sleep
tonight, I'm going to put on a pot of coffee while you watch Jamie and make
sure he doesn't hurt himself, if his dreams become too terrifying we'll
wake him letting him know he's here with us so he can go back to sleep
knowing he's safe".

The night turned out to be harder on Jason as he heard his brother's
screams and cries throughout the night as Jamie replayed his captivity in
the Saudi Prison.  Just before noon it appeared Jamie was starting to wake
from a long and torturous sleep, Brad and Jason slipped back in on each
side of him.  Jason slipped his arm over Jamie's chest and snuggled up as
Brad did much the same on his other side.  As Jamie slowly worked his way
from his sleep state, he opened his eyes to find two very handsome men
snuggled close.  Turning, he kissed Jason on the forehead and then did the
same to Brad, both Brad and Jason yawned and kissed Jamie on his cheeks
pretending to just awaken.  Their pretense appeared to have worked as Jamie
stretched and put his arms around both men and pulled them in for a group
kiss.  "I think I could get used to this real easy".  Brad and Jason both
laughed and added they thought they could too.

Pulling on his loose fitting workout pants, Brad said he'd just make coffee
and cinnamon toast, since it was so close to lunch time.  Jason jumped into
his jeans and headed to the bathroom as Jamie looked around, not finding
his clothing he went into the other bedroom and put on a new pair of briefs
he bought in France on his way here.  He suddenly felt remorse for pushing
himself into his brother's and Brad's relationship hoping he hadn't messing
things up for Jason, it was obvious he was in love with Brad.  He
remembered telling Jason he loved him, but did he say he was in love with
him, maybe he could back out of this arrangement without having done any
damage to his brother's relationship with Brad.

Walking into the kitchen he found Brad and Jason in a passionate kiss,
turning to leave, Brad said, "where you headed so fast?"  Looking
embarrassed Jamie said, "I didn't want to interrupt you too".  Brad could
see the wheels of doubt turning in Jamie's head as he said, "come here
you", and gave Jamie the same breath taking passionate kiss he'd just given
Jason.  Looking surprised Jamie asked, "what brought that on?"  Jason
standing behind him put his arms around his brother and kissed his neck,
"love is what brought that on Jamie".  "Look guys I shouldn't have slept
with you last night it was wrong for me to push myself into your
relationship".  Brad looked Jamie in the eye as he asked, "don't you love
Jason?"  "Of course I love Jason, why'd you ask?"  "No Jamie aren't you in
love with Jason, and think before you answer, and then answer honestly".

Jamie sat down at the table before answering, "Brad I've been in love with
Jason ever since he turned fifteen".  "Jamie why didn't you ever say
anything to me?"  "You were too young at the time, and I was confused by
the feelings I was having for you, then when you turned eighteen and came
out to dad, and I saw the look on his face, I knew I'd have to keep my
secret if I was going to protect you".  "Jamie you always put me first I
feel so bad that I didn't pick up on your feelings, you must know I love
you".  "Of course I know that Jason, and I was going to tell you how I
felt, that's why I came here to be with you instead of going to Dallas".
"When I arrived and saw you with this handsome man of yours, I was jealous
and envious at the same time, Jason I won't come between you and Brad, I'd
never forgive myself".

With a smile on his face Brad said, "Jamie has it occurred to you that
Jason and I might like you to cum between us?"  Jason caught the double
entendre and started laughing.  Jamie looked more confused than ever as he
asked, "are you two crazy or something?"  "Let me ask you something Jamie,
"you have already said you're in love with Jason do you also have feelings
for me and again, please give us an honest answer?"  Looking at Jason,
Jamie said, "yes I was attracted to you immediately when I saw you with
Jason at the airport".  "Jamie the attraction was mutual even though I'm
very much in love with Jason".  "What Jason and I are trying to tell you is
that there isn't any need to concern yourself with coming between the two
of us when the attraction we all feel is among all three of us".  "The love
that we all feel is shared among the three of us, if you leave than
there'll be a part of our love triangle that's missing".  "Jamie in order
for us to be complete we need you to be a part of who we are, you're the
piece that makes us complete".

Jamie sat for a long time pondering what Brad had said before speaking.
"You two want me to be a part your love".  Jason said, "you've almost got
Jamie but what you're missing is that we love each other, each of us love
you, as you love each of us, we are a set of three".  "It's not a matter of
Brad and I loving each other and accepting you into that love, it's a
matter of all of us being in love with each other".  Brad added, "if anyone
of us goes missing then the remaining two would feel lost and incomplete,
Jamie if you're not with us then we are incomplete, something is missing".
The love that connects the three of us make you part of who we are".

"Jamie, let me ask you this, "if you leave Jason and I to return to Dallas
how will you feel, and again we're asking you to be completely honest with
yourself".  I'd feel lost and lonely, I'd always be thinking about you guys
wishing I was with you".  "Jamie that's exactly how Jason and I will feel
if you're not with us, now do you understand where we're coming from?"
Laughing and crying at the same time Jamie pulled Brad and Jason into his
arms, yes I know exactly what you're saying, it took a while to wrap my
mind around it, but yes I understand, we're connected in such a way because
of our love that we really need to be with each other".  Brad and Jason
gave each other a high five as Jason blew his brother a kiss and said, "by
Jove I do believe he's got it Watson".  Laughing Jamie hugged his brother
and said, "you always were a smart ass, but I love you anyway".

Author's note:

Love really is what makes life worth living, never be ashamed of it, or shy
away from it, love is love, is love, don't waste a moment of you life with
