Book Two Chapter 9 There is one thing I loved about my four other boys and crew. They automatically accepted Calvin, almost like he was a long lost brother. MY four boys mobbed Calvin when we walked out. He was in tears long before they finished welcoming him. "Calvin you might as well inform the Hotel that you are now working for me." "Okay." He smiled and headed for the beach. He came back about 30 minutes later. I could tell he had been crying. "What's wrong Calvin?" "The manager called me all kinds of names. He even said if he saw me again he'd call the cops and charge me with trespassing. He wouldn't even let me get my stuff from the staff quarters." I saw red. "I'll take care of it. Come along Calvin. Time to straighten out the asshole." I never could understand the attitude of some people. I was ready to tear the guy a new asshole as I walked into the hotel. "Is that the guy Calvin?" "No, it was the head housekeeper. He has office in basement." I walked to the front desk. "Is the manager in? I'd like to speak to him." "One moment Mr. Somers. I'll check." He stuck his head in door at the back of the front desk. Then turned to me. The Manager is not busy. He says go right in." He came around his desk with his hand out as we walked into his office. "Mr. Somers, it is always a pleasure to meet with one of our more distinguished guests." He had a firm hand shake. Then. "Calvin how are you today?" "I'm fine Sir." "I am presuming this is not a social call Mr. Somers." "No it's not." Then I explained what happened in my words. Calvin confirmed what I said. For his part the Manager looked real pissed. He picked up a phone, dialed and talked a minute. "I am very sorry that Homophobic asshole did that Mr. Somers. That I will rectify it immediately." His attitude and demeanor told me the hotel was not as dead against gays as I was led to believe. A very severe looking man walked into the office. When he saw Calvin he sneered. "Mr. Edwards, this hotel has Zero tolerance for discrimination against anyone. Your attitude has brought me to the conclusion that your services are no longer required. Effective immediately you are terminated with cause. You are in breach of your contract. You have until 4 PM today to clean out your office and get off the hotel property or I will have You charged with trespassing." He stood stock still for a moment. He looked at Calvin and then me. "I'll get you for this you nigger cocksucker." Calvin laughed. "You are only mad at me coz I wouldn't do anything for you like the other boys have to. He makes anyone who wants to work bend over for him." "You lying little shit head. I'll kill you for that." He made to move to Calvin. "Lay a hand on him and I'll have you charged under the Diplomatic protocols governing Diplomatic personal. Calvin is an assistant to me as Ambassador to Micronesia. Touch him at your own risk." Mr. Edwards glared at Calvin and then turned and stormed from the office. The Manager was on the phone even before he was out of the office. "He won't trouble anymore Calvin. I have a lot friends in the Government here." "Thank you. I believe we are done." "Mr. Somers, I'd like to talk to you on another matter before you leave." Of course. Anytime." WE shook hands. "Come on Calvin lets get a drink." WE walked out of the mangers office and across the lobby onto the terrace. We barely got sat down before a boy was at our table. "Good afternoon Sir. Hi Calvin. Can I get you something?" "A couple of cold beers please." I said. "Sir, we have a very good selection of both imported and local beers. Is there something you like?" "You order Calvin." I said. Bring us a couple of Umbria Jerry." "Yes Sir." "Did that man actually make you have sex with him Calvin?" "No. He did with all the other boys. Then he made us pay him some of our tips. He said if we didn't he'd report us as queers." "Well then its good he's out of here." "You just made lots of friends here Ed. Bet you have lots to choose from at night now." HE giggled. "Well I only want you from now on Babe." Jerry came back with two tall iced beers. Two glasses and a plate of sliced lime and pineapple chunks. "Thank you Jerry." Calvin said. I watched as Calvin squeezed a slice of lime into the glass and added a pineapple chunk. The carefully poured the beer over both. I did as he had done. "Lime and pineapple takes away the bitter after taste." The Beer had a sharp taste, but then smoothed out as it went down. It was very good and very refreshing." "This is good Calvin." "Some like it without the lime and pineapple, but I think it's better with it." I checked the bottle. It was made in Pago Pago with 5.5 percent alcohol content. WE watched as the ex-manager crossed the lobby and got into a cab. I suggested Calvin go pick up his stuff from his locker. A few minutes later he came back with a small backpack. Not much for a guy that spent his summers on the Island. "Is that all Calvin? Doesn't look like much for travelling here in summer." "Don't need much. It's always warm when I leave the mainland and never cold here. I was staying with Diep and I got a few things there I can pick up before we leave." "Well why don't we drive over now and then you can put what you don't need on Sandpiper." "Okay that's cool. I want to see your yacht." We went out and got in my jeep. Calvin directed me. It was quite a few miles from the hotel. We pulled into the driveway of a very small house. The yard was neat and tidy. I saw several bikes leaning against one side. "WE got running water but no power. We cook on fire pit mostly or eat at hotel. The owner says it's too expensive to put power in his houses." When we walked inside the small house it was almost dark inside. Calvin pulled up one of the rolled blinds. Light flooded inside. It was neat but small. A large leather couch and chair dominated the small living room. A kitchenette with small fridge and stove, but without power both would be useless. One door led off the living room. "Bathroom with shower and toilet are off the bedroom." Our talking obviously was heard by someone in the house. We heard movement from behind the closed bedroom door. "I hope I didn't wake anyone Calvin." "They aren't sleeping." He giggled. That must have been true . The door opened and Diep walked out in the briefest pair of briefs I had ever seen. The pure white briefs showed just how dark he was. He was followed by two other boys in tiny briefs. Both were very brown. "Hi Ed. Hi Calvin." "Sorry to disturb you Diep. I brought Calvin over to pick up his things." "That's okay we hadn't got very far yet." He laughed, along with both boys. "You asked him finally Calvin?" "No he asked me. I am so happy." "WOW!" Diep screamed and was hugging Calvin instantly. I found out the two boys also worked at the hotel. One was Janus and the other Dano. Both lived in American Samoa, but on a different Island. They came to Pago Pago to work. All three rented the house they were in. Diep got everyone a cold beer. He explained that they picked up block ice from a vender. Couldn't really believe it. The refrigerator was about as modern as you could get, but with out power it was just an ice box. The boys paid 300 dollars US a month for the house. I figured that was pretty steep without power, but didn't comment. I turned down Diep invitation to stay and have some fun. All three boys were interested. I'm sure Calvin would have enjoyed it too, but said I'd be back sometime or all three could come out to the Cabana. After picking up the few things Calvin had at the house we left. I noticed a For Sale sigh on the property as we drove out of the yard. I noted the address of the small house and the telephone number of the seller. I'd put Jason on my idea. I didn't say anything to Calvin yet. I gave Calvin a complete tour, except for the bow of Sandpiper. He was super impressed. With work still going on, I didn't stay long. WE headed back to the hotel. Calvin offered to take all four of my other boys sailing. They whole heartedly agreed. I gave them my blessing. All were excellent swimmers, so I knew they would be okay. I was finally left a lone for an afternoon. Well I wasn't alone for long. As I walked to the fridge for a cold beer, I saw a soldier coming along the walk to the cabana. I grabbed the beer and waited. He knocked and then stepped inside. He saluted me. "Ambassador Somers?" "That's me." "Do you have some identification Sir?" I walked to my briefcase, pulled out my diplomatic passport and handed it to him. He checked the face to match and handed it back. "This was delivered to our offices this morning Sir." He handed me a diplomatic pouch. "Thank you." I took the pouch and sat down. As I started to open it he just stood waiting. Waiting for what? "Was there something else?" "I am supposed to wait and see if you have anything to go out Sir." "Well you might as well sit down. Would you like a cold beer?" "Thank you Sir. That would be nice." An anomaly. Most Marines on duty would have turned it down. There was nothing in the pouch that needed an immediate answer, but I was intrigued by this Marine. "How long have you been in the Marines?" "This is my first tour Sir." "So going to be a career Marine?" "No Sir. I'm getting out when my tour is up." "Really, why?" I got up went to the fridge and got two more beers. I handed him one and sat back down. He had an unreadable expression on his face. "The Marines and I don't get along very well Sir." "Sir, if I say anything, will it go any further?" "No. This is I suppose the Micronesian Embassy at the moment. So anything you say is for my ears only." "I'm Gay Sir and the Marines don't like queers." "Why did you join if you knew you were Gay?" "I didn't know Sir. My Dad is a Colonel in the Marines and I was sort of following him. Problem was when you get into the marines you are around men all the time. I got some weird feelings. I don't know how but they found out I was Gay and told me I should apply for release at the end of my tour. I already told my Dad I wasn't suited for the Marines, really I said I didn't like it. He's not happy, but can't stop me. I am over 21." When I looked at his face he was almost in tears. I got up walked to him and pulled him up. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him close. That opened the flood gate and he cried on my shoulder. Two things happened as I held him. He got hard, I could feel it and I did too and was sure he knew. I stepped back from him. His expression was totally unreadable. "Undress Marine." I said. "What?" "Unless you want to mess up that uniform, I said take it off. That's an order Marine." He looked at me for perhaps 15 seconds then sat down. He quickly removed his boots and socks. His shirt and cover followed. He stood up and hesitated. Then undid his pants and removed them. A very nice 7-8 inch cut cock was sticking out of his boxers. He made no move to cover it up. "Come along." I said as I grabbed that cock and headed for my bedroom. "I've never really done anything Sir." "What's your first name?" "Steven Sir." "Well I'm just Ed. No use using that Sir stuff now is there?" Once in the bedroom and close to the bed, I pushed down his boxers. He was shaking a little bit. "So never done anything. Ever had a blow job?" "No Ed." I pulled him close to the bed and sat down. Then leaned over and let his thick cock slide into my mouth. "Oh God. I just knew it would feel so good." I knew if this was his first he wouldn't last long. Less than thirty seconds and he erupted in my mouth. Thick and salty, but not bad. He did have a fair sized load. I leaned back. "Well how was that Steven?" " I never knew it would feel so good. Can I suck you?" "Only if you want to Steven." I quickly dropped my shorts and sat back down. He knelt down. Then very slowly reached out and grabbed my cock. He jacked once. He licked his lips and then leaned close. His tongue came out and licked the precumm from the head of my cock. He obviously knew what to do. He slowly took my cock into his mouth. For a guy that had never done anything he definitely knew how to suck. I didn't feel his teeth once. He stopped and backed off. "I always thought a guys cock would taste gross, but it doesn't. It's hard and soft at the same time." He took my cock back into his mouth and immediately gagged as he tried to take more. "Just suck what you can handle Steven. It takes time to get used to it." I really enjoyed that tough Marine sucking my cock and could make it last quite a while. "Steven, I'm going to warn you when I'm going to cumm. It's up to if you want my cumm in your mouth." I placed one hand on his head and applied a little pressure, He took more of my cock, but still gagged once in a while. I slowly let myself come up. As I got close. I'm going to cumm Steven." He never stopped. Well we would see now. The first shot made him gag and chock, but he just backed off and took the rest in his mouth. When I stopped he sat back. I could see his tongue working inside his cheeks. Then he just swallowed. He sat for a moment. "It's kind of weird tasting, but not bad." "It's an acquired taste Steven. Not everyone tastes the same." "Well it wasn't as bad as I thought." He moved up and sat on the edge of the bed. He was still real hard. "I guess you want to fuck me now." "Not a chance Steven." I laughed. "Why? I'll know then for sure that I'm gay." "Steven if fucked you, you would be in a lot of pain and be walking funny for the next week. All your Marine Corp buddies would know for sure you were gay. What I will do is suck you off again." "Okay. Can we do it together?" Well he went at it like a Pro. Even tried to take a lot more of my cock. He came the second time almost as quick as the first time, but remained hard so I just continued to suck him. I didn't warn him I was coming, but he just swallowed it down. Back in the living room, I gave him a beer as he dressed. "Have figured out what you are going to do once you get out of the Marines Steven?" "No not really. I guess go home." "What's your specialty?" "Support weapons. Machine Guns, Mortars, Anti-tank weapons." "You know what Sandpiper is Steven?" "Yes Sir. I've pulled guard duty at the Naval Base." "Well that's one thing I don't have on Sandpiper. A weapons specialist. If you are interested, I might have a place for you on Sandpiper." "Really that would be great Sir." "I will let you know that Sandpiper has an all Gay crew. We also have a clothing optional rule when we are at sea. Most of the crew go nude all the time and most will suck or fuck just about anytime." "I've heard about Sandpiper." "E-mail me or call me when you get out. If you are interested, I get you to where we are. I can't promise you a job that would be up to the crew." I handed him a card with my satellite phone and e-mail address. He put it in his wallet. "Drop by tomorrow. I'll have something then to go back to Micronesia." "Okay Ed. Thank you for everything." "My pleasure Steven." I chuckled. Steven left and I sat back. Damn you find them everywhere. Alone again I sat down to go over the contents of the pouch Steven had delivered. Nothing needed an answer and the only report was one putting the Pau Pau about a thousand miles from the Marshall Islands. Pau Pau had been spotted off the North Coast of Australia. It had worried the Australian Government enough that they were moving Naval Units to Darwin, NT. That report decided my next destination. I'd head for the Marshalls. I was just sitting nursing a beer and thinking when Jason walked in. "Wow! Ed. Alone or almost twice in a row." "Yeah the boys are off sailing with Calvin." "Ed, I think we may have been too hasty in deciding to build here. We could just buy instead." "Okay, tell me what you got." "When I was talking to the agent about the land we want to buy, he asked why we wanted to build when there were two very nice beach hotels for sale. One is about 5 miles down the coast. It's not as nice as the other, but it could be had for under 50 million. That's less than half as much as it cost us to build. "The other is this one we are in. It's not advertised for sale, but the agent knows the present owners would jump at a chance to unload it if the price was right. One of the men who own is also the biggest land owner here and has been trying to unload a lot of small properties to offset the costs of this hotel." The Agent suggested we might get this hotel for under 75 million." "There are not many people interested in buying property at the moment in Pago Pago." "Does that mean we drop the idea of buying and just go for this hotel?" "No I think not. WE buy the adjacent land and build more cabanas on the beach and also several on the land. We also use part of it for the golf course. We use this hotel as the main part of the hotel, but will be able to offer more variety. WE could make it family friendly with some water slides like Fiji." "Sounds good Jason. Work up some figures so I know exactly what's going on." Then I told him about my idea of buying the small house. He laughed. "Ed, the man who owns that house is also the same guy that wants to sell them to get out from under his hold in the hotel. We could present him with a package deal and get all of them. Then we rent them to either employees or guests as a private get away, with all the amenities of the hotel thrown in. Even advertise them in Gay Travel guides." "Okay go for the bundle." "I leave it all up to you." I presume you are not just working Jason." "No Ed. I'm enjoying everything this place has to offer including some of the staff." He chuckled. "Good." He left me and I sat back and looked at the contents of the pouch. Even though the Pau Pau had done nothing or been seen even close to the Marshalls, it was still a thorn in my side and I was determined to do something about it. I closed my eyes and relaxed. "Hi." I think I jumped a foot. When I looked I saw the huge toothy grin of Diep in his almost invisible cutoffs. They were dripping water on the deck. "Hi Diep. You startled me." "Sorry Ed. I just wanted to thank you for what you did for Calvin. You made him so happy." "Well better get them wet cutoffs off. Don't want to get the carpets wet." He just unsnapped them, ran the zipper down and let them drop. I tossed him a towel. He dried himself before coming into the cabana. Damn he was so cute and I remember he was the first boy here I had taken that first night. He was a wild man for sex of any kind. And we had tried it all ways. He wasn't even hard as he came in and sat down. "You are not from American Samoa Diep." "Well I was born here, but my Mom and Dad are from Viet Nam." "So your Mom and Dad just moved away from Viet Nam." "Not exactly. My Dad was a real high Government Employee. He worked in I guess their State Department. Normally Viet Nam don't let man and wife travel for the Government, but Mom was pregnant and my Dad wanted to get some specialized help for her, so they allowed them to travel to Taiwan. As soon as they landed they defected to the US. The US sent them here where I was born." Do your Mom and Dad know you are Gay?" "I don't think so, but they probably suspect. It doesn't matter; I want to leave here as soon as I save enough money." "I wish I was like Calvin." So that was the problem. I was taking Diep's probably best friend. He saw how Calvin fit in and he was left out. I wondered if he was interested in one of crew. "So which of my crew are you interested in Diep?" "I won't say coz you'll just think I'm a gold digger." I laughed. I had no idea who it might be. I'm sure Diep had been to bed with all my crew even Jason with his foot long beer can. I'd seen Diep in rapture one night as he bounced on Jason's cock. I ran my fingers lightly up and into one of Diep's armpits. He went into a fit of laughter. "Don't Ed. I'm so ticklish there." He screamed between giggles. "I know you are Diep and I'm going to continue until you tell me which one you have fallen for." I tickled his other armpit. He went into another fit of laughing. I held him down and started to tickle him. "Okay, okay. Please stop or I'll pee myself. I'll tell you." He said between giggles. I stopped and waited. He took several deep breathes. "It's, Its, Jason." Oh wow. That I did not see coming. Diep was like a child in Jason's arms. Sure he had been screwed by Jason which in itself was a wonder at how Diep's small butt could take that monster so easily, but I would never in a million years think Diep was in love with him. "I feel so good when he holds me. I can't suck him much but it feel real good when he makes love to me. I don't know why Ed. I just do." By then tears were streaming down Diep's face. I pulled him up and wrapped my arms around him. "Well I guess I'll have to arrange for Jason to notice you more. The rest is up to you Diep." "However, I charge big time for my match making services." I laughed. "What?" He said. I never said a word. Just stood and picked him up. I walked into my bedroom and tossed him on the bed. His eyes got real big as I dropped my shorts. Even before I climbed on the bed his cock was rock hard. We spent the rest of the afternoon doing every thing for each other. Diep was a very good lover, doing all and coming back for more. Suck, fuck, rim and even piss never bothered him or me. We did it all and then some. We were laying on the bed. "You need to work today Diep?" "Yeah I got 4 to midnight." "Well it's almost 4, so you better get that cute bottom moving." I pulled on my shorts as Diep went out to put on his cutoffs, not that they covered much. I gave him quick kiss before he just dived off the deck. He was a strong swimmer I could see and was quickly to the beach and running for the change rooms. I thought about how I was going to get Jason to notice him more. Maybe just tell him and see where it leads. I called Jason to find out where he was. Simple he was in the Cabana next to mine. "Something you need Ed?" "Yeah, I'll swim over. See you in a few." I pulled on a pair of Speedos. I noticed after I had them on they were a pair the boys had bought me Mexico. They were the translucent ones that left nothing to the imagination when wet. Well fuck it, only Jason will see me. That might be good too. I dove off the deck of the caba?a and swam leisurely to the other cabana. I saw Jason on the deck in a pair of bright yellow Speedos. They really set off his coal black skin. He gave me hand as I climbed the ladder to the deck. "Damn Ed. You might as well be nude. Those don't leave out anything." "Yeah well those look good on you too." He handed me a towel and after grabbing a couple of beer. WE sat down on chairs on the deck. "So what's on your mind Ed?" "Well I had a visitor after you left today. It seems that when I invited Calvin to join me on Sandpiper, I may have broken up another relationship. To top that off I found this particular boy is in love with one of my crew. I'm not sure what to do." "That's not good Ed. So who is the young man in love with?" "You." I never said another word. Jason sat stunned for a minute. "Jesus. I've only been to bed with a couple of them. They are so small that I only?..it's Diep." "I couldn't believe it when he sat on my cock and not even a squeak. He is a wonder in bed and I'll admit I've had him several times. He fucks like a mink too. I honestly never thought he'd fall in love with me. What do I do now?" "Guess that is pretty much up to you Jason. Do you feel anything for him?" "I think what I feel is more lust than anything else. He's so different than anyone including Jake and Randy. I guess there is something there." "Well the only way you are going to know for sure is if you spend more time with him. He's working right now, but if I was in your position, I'd go find him, pick him up and carry him back here and fuck each others brains out. It's what I did with Calvin and you know how that turned out. I don't know why exactly I love Calvin so much, but one of my Sons's once said he fills part of me that was empty. Maybe the two of you need to see if you both can fill a part of your hearts." "Besides if you do invite him along Jason, I might get more of this." I grabbed his thick cock in his Speedos. "All you ever need do is ask Ed. You one of the people I love most." I stood up and pulled Jason up. Then kissed him. I gripped his semi hard cock in the Speedos. I'll leave you now Jason. What you do now is your decision." "Jesus, you get all horney and then run." "I'm sure there is a boy that would love to take care of it for you Jason." "You are right about that Ed. Thank you." I just turned away and dove off the deck. I'd love to the fly on the ceiling when those two got together. Weather there was anything but lust, I'd have to see, but knowing Diep and Jason, I knew they'd find each other one way or the other. The boys were back and looking at menus. There was a collective 'WOW', when I walked in the translucent Speedos. "Now you know what I see when you guys wear them." I laughed. I went in the bedroom and peeled them off. When I turned Calvin wrapped his arms around me. "Hi love. Did everyone have fun today?' "Yeah but I missed you." "I missed you too Calvin. I always feel alone when you are not around. You fill me with such peace and I never want you far away." "I'll never be far away from you Ed. I love you so much it hurts." "Well I'll take care of all your hurts love." I could have taken Calvin to bed right then and made mad passionate love to him, but my stomach growled. "Damn, Siam was right you could be a fog horn when you are hungry." He giggled. That broke the spell of the moment. "So are they ordering everything but the kitchen sink?" "Naw, I think just surf and turf and sea food platters." "Well let me put something on and we'll join them." The food was delivered by two serving boys. From the looks I got I'd bet they would be back later for more than just tips. From the way everyone put down the main course and the seafood platters you'd think they were preparing for a marathon. Then again maybe they were. It turned out to be another night of dark brown bodies, hard cocks and tight asses doing anything and everything. It seemed an anomaly that there could be so many Gay or Bi boys in one place. Were all boys on American Samoa queer? Very late, Calvin and I were necking on the couch. We had both done several boys and we were both worn out. A few more nights like this and I would be getting grey hair. There's no doubt I was a bad influence, but then again I knew my boys would fuck or suck almost anytime. Sometimes I thought food even came in second place. Calvin jumped up and went and got some beer. "We are almost out of beer Ed." "I suppose it's too late to order more?" "No. Someone should be still working." He picked up the phone. Talked a bit. "Room service said ten minutes." Calvin and I went back to necking. I thought I should put something on, but then thought maybe the room service boy would stay. About 20 minutes later a tap at the door announced our beer had arrived. Diep walked in with two flats. He took them and filled our refrigerator. He turned and looked at Calvin and I on the couch. "Do you need a signature for that Diep?" "No Ed. I just added it to your bill." So are you done now?" "Yeah, but I don't want interrupt something." "Forget that Diep. Get comfortable and have a beer." He just dropped his board shorts. Damn he was commando. That was unusual. All the boys wore undies under their board shorts. He grabbed a beer and came and sat beside me on the other side from Calvin. "So how was your day Diep?" "It was okay I guess." He didn't seem to happy. I wondered if Jason and him didn't hit it off right. "Why the sad face Diep?" Calvin asked. "Well Jason asked me to come with him when Sandpiper leaves here, but I'm just not sure now." "I'm scared everybody will think I'm with him coz of his big dick. Everyone knows I like big cocks." "Diep, were all size queens." Calvin laughed. "He said he loved and wanted me around all the time, but I'm not sure what love is. Nobody except my Mom and Dad and you Calvin ever said they loved me. I know what you like Calvin and I guess I know what everyone likes about me, it's just this love thing that bothers me." "Diep, do you like Jason a lot?" "Well yes, but I'm not sure its love. I think its more lust." "That's exactly what Jason said to me Diep. Love isn't easy. You have to work at it. Sometimes it just comes in a rush, like it did when I met Calvin. Other times, Like with Siam, it took me almost 2 years before I realized I loved him so much it hurt. If you have real feelings for Jason, I'm sure it will come to you too, but all you need is Time. On board Sandpiper you will lots of time." I pulled Diep into my arms. "Besides if Jason hadn't asked you I would have. I think I love this great body as much as I love Calvin and all my Sons." I gave him a deep kiss. Then Calvin pulled him into his lap. The kiss they had confirmed my earlier idea that Diep and Calvin were partnered and I had split them apart. "Jeez, I just ask him and somebody wants to steal him." Jason said as he walked in. Diep was off Calvin's lap and into Jason's arms like a shot. The kiss they had I'm sure could light up the night. I saw Diep whisper to Jason. "Yeah love. WE can do that." He grabbed Diep's board shorts and disappeared out the door. "Well I guess that problems solved. Now that they left, I guess it's just you and me baby." Soon after we were joined by the two serving boys. WE retired to the bedroom. TBC Summer is here and I don't write much in summer.
