I couldn't help but wish it were me. "He's fucking hot, right?" Ethan said with a grin. "Yeah..." Oh God, I just admitted to Ethan Jensen that I was lusting after Mr. Martinez. I felt the heat rush to my face. "It's okay. I think you're pretty hot too." "Me?" I squeaked. I turned back to look at Ethan and felt a little faint. I'd had a crush on him for years. Of course I'd never admit that out loud and I certainly never expected him to notice me. He took a step forward, placing his hand on the middle of my chest and pushing me, so I fell back onto the couch. "You." He climbed on top of me and pressed his body against mine as his face drew so close, I could feel his breath on my lips. "Ethan?" "Can I kiss you?" "Uhhhhh..." I masterfully responded with my mouth hanging open and my cock so hard I thought it might burst through my jeans. Fortunately, I guess he understood because the next thing I knew his soft lips were pressed against mine and his tongue was tracing my lips. Of course, I embarrassed myself even further by moaning as I opened my mouth to let him claim me. Our tongues danced and explored as he ground his body into mine. No way he could miss how hard I was as he rubbed against me. I was still feeling a little stunned. First the wild sex with Jon, then I get pinned to the couch by Ethan? What the fuck was happening? "Guess you don't hate me as much as I thought," Evan said as he pulled back and looked into my eyes. "Hate you?" "You never talk to me or acknowledge me at school... so I assumed..." Words were failing me, so I grabbed the back of his head and pulled him down for another kiss. "Never, never hated you." "Mmmm. Good to know. Would you be okay with me taking care of this for you?" The gleam in his eye as he rubbed his crotch against mine made my stomach do crazy flips. "Yeah... I guess so." "Just tell me to stop if you don't like what I'm doing." Ethan ran his hands down my stomach and sat up, unfastening the waistband of my jeans. Shit, was this really happening? Ethan ran his palm over my erection then slowly pulled the zipper down. I tried to remember what underwear I was wearing. Oh, God. No. "Sponge Bob? Fuck, I love Sponge Bob," Ethan laughed as he slid my jeans and boxers down. Just kill me now. Please. Why couldn't I have worn the sexy new briefs mom got me? No, I had to pull out my boxers from middle school. "Beautiful," Ethan said in a whisper as he wrapped his hand around my cock and gave it a squeeze. I looked down and saw him staring at my dick, licking his lips and then he turned eyes on me and I stopped breathing. He gave me the most wicked grin then leaned down and took me into his mouth until his nose was buried in my pubes. "Oh, shit!" His mouth felt amazing, and his tongue was doing... oh, shit, oh, shit. I thought Jon and Dad were good but Ethan... My brain just gave out. "You a top or a bottom?" Ethan asked as he came off of me with a loud plop. He still held me firmly in his grip and teased my cock with the tip of his tongue as soon as the question was out. "Um... both?" "Cool. Me too. You wanna?" "Wanna what?" My brain scrambled for what he might be asking. He took the head of my cock back into his mouth and sucked hard. I gasped and sat up. "Wanna fuck?" "Yes! I want you to fuck me." Shit. Did that sound too desperate? I didn't want him to think I was hard up. Ethan kissed up the crease of my thigh then lifted my shirt and kept on kissing his way up until he got to my nipple. He teased it with his tongue before giving a gentle tug with his teeth. Next stop was my mouth which he devoured. "Works better if we get rid of the clothes. You okay with that?" Ethan asked. I pulled off my shirt and watched with rapt attention as he stripped in front of me. Damn, he was sexy. I'd heard other guys at school talking about him, that he normally went for older guys and wondered why I was so lucky. His hands seemed to be everywhere at once, and his kisses trailed down my body until he was lifting my legs back and kissing my cock and balls. I wrapped my arms around the back of my knees and held them there as he licked my sack and then moved onto my taint. I was hardly experienced, but I already knew from the time with Jon, that I really liked being licked. Ethan did not disappoint. He dove into my ass and had me moaning and whimpering in no time. All thought stopped except for the realization that he had a magic tongue that made my opening quiver with need. If he went at it much more, I knew I'd be begging. "Shit. Give me a second. Be right back. Don't go anywhere!" Ethan said before jumping up and leaving. "What?" I opened my eyes and wondered what was going on. I was so deep in the bliss from being rimmed, I wasn't sure what had happened. "Fortunately, I know where David stashes the lube." Ethan was back and ripping open a packet as he knelt between my legs. I moaned when I felt the cool liquid on my ass lips as he worked his fingers around and into my hole. A finger slid inside me. "So hot. You've got an amazing ass, Dan." Ethan pushed a second finger in and managed to hit my prostate. My cock squirted a gob of pre-cum that trailed down my erection. Ethan used his other hand to run his fingers over my dick and spread the leakage. He leaned in and kissed me again as his cock pressed against me. Relax. Keep breathing. Push out. OOOOOOHHHH, shit. "Owwww." He wasn't nearly as big as Jon, but it still burned, and there was a sharp pain when he pushed past the ring of muscle. Then after a moment, I could breathe again. "That's it. Just relax. Damn, you are sexy, and you feel so good," Ethan whispered to me as he slid farther inside. I couldn't believe this was happening. Me, Dan Ward, having sex with Ethan Jenson! I felt so full, and he was moving, and it was just right. God, I loved being fucked. I wrapped my legs around him and pulled him tighter as he kissed me. I was really getting into it when I heard the door. "Now, that is a damn pretty thing to behold," a deep voice said. I startled, and my eyes flew open to see a dripping wet hunk staring at us from the foot of the couch. He was gorgeous, and I thought he looked familiar, but I wasn't sure why. Ethan pushed up on his arms and looked over his shoulder. "Oh, hey, Dad. You mind? Your man is upstairs." Dad? What? That was Mr. Jensen? Coach Jensen? Oh, fuck, just shoot me now. "Hey, sexy. Focus on me, it's all good," Ethan said before he claimed my mouth again and thrust hard pegging my prostate and making me cry out as a wave of pleasure shot through my body. He must have seen the effect because he did it again and again. I felt the orgasm building deep in my core, and my fingers dug into his back as I tried to suck his tongue into my mouth. I totally forgot about the Coach catching us. Ethan swallowed my scream as it hit and my cock exploded between us. His dick was hammering me and never slowed or paused as I got caught in the waves of pleasure. I gasped and panted and felt his body stiffen as he buried his face in the crook of my neck and exploded inside me. I swear I could feel the searing heat of his spend coating my insides. Ethan pulled back and kissed me tenderly. "That was fucking hot," a new voice said. I squeezed my eyes closed wondering how my luck could be so bad that two people interrupted me having sex with Ethan. But this time I felt Ethan stiffen also, and he slid out of me and sat back. "Shit," Ethan whispered, and that drew me out of my post orgasm stupor. I opened my eyes and sat up looking at the stranger and again got the feeling that this new guy looked really familiar. But this time, it clicked more quickly. He looked like David and Jon. "We haven't met, I'm Eros," the guy said with a smile as if having interrupted two guys having sex was perfectly normal. "You're the one who took Dad away," Ethan said quietly. "Eh, more like escorted but yes. I'm a servant of Aphrodite, one of the Erotes, the original." Oh, shit was right. That made him one of the Greek gods... and he was here. Now. Staring at us. "Ethan, you take after your father. I'd recognize that gorgeous bone structure anywhere. A man after my own heart, such burning need, and you... Daniel Ward. Finally coming into your own." "You know me?" "Of you. I've observed you and your brother for some time and knew it wouldn't be long before you came out of your shell. So handsome..." "Um, were you looking for Dad?" Ethan asked nervously. "Yes, but you two are much more interesting. May I join you?" "Um..." Ethan turned to look at me for a response, but I gotta say I was still in shock as I watched Eros strip off his clothes. "Yeah?" I said weakly as I saw the beautiful smooth, lean body revealed. "Well first off, what kind of lover leaves his guy covered in jizz with a leaking hole. This sexy little nymph needs some cleanup. Chest or ass?" Eros asked. "Um, ch... che... chest?" Ethan sputtered. "Great. I wanted to eat his ass before I fucked him anyway. So, sport. You ever had a dick in both ends? I know Ethan has." My eyes darted to Ethan, and I saw his face turn bright red. I turned back to see the heat in Eros's eyes and felt a wave of desire course through me. "No." "You're gonna love it." Eros and Ethan got into position with Ethan licking my cum off my chest while Eros buried his tongue up my ass. "Ohhhhhh, God!" * Scene 2 * David Martinez I watched as Dean pulled a pair of cargo shorts out of his duffel bag and then slid them up his lean, muscled legs. No underwear. Oh, damn that ass was fine. I thought it was a crime to cover up such a masterful piece of art. He pulled on a tee and turned to look at me over his shoulder. Okay, yes, I was caught staring. "You like?" "God, yes. I thought you were breathtaking before. Now I can't even think." He turned back into me and kissed the tip of my nose. "Good." He walked out of the room stopping in the doorway to see if I was following. One eyebrow shot up. "Yeah, I'm coming." I fastened my jeans and pulled on my shirt and saw the evil smirk. "Oh, you will be... many times," Dean said in a low growly voice. I felt the heat rush to my face and places lower as my dick stirred back to life. Dean had always teased me, but this was different. I wondered again what happened to him when they took him to Olympus. I will confess to being somewhat distracted as we descended the steps, my attention very focused on the round globes of his ass as they moved hypnotically under his shorts. Yes, definitely more muscled and full than I remembered. Worthy of framing or some extreme porn close-ups. I was so caught up in admiring I ran right into him when he stopped half-way down. "Shhh," he whispered and pointed into the great room. I looked and had to bite my tongue from making any comments. I also realized that I needed to pay more attention. I should have been aware of Eros as soon as he was near. Now that my brain wasn't focused on Dean's ass, I could smell him and feel Eros's presence. I may have watched longer than appropriate before turning and pulling Dean up to take the back stairs instead. But really? Who could blame me? Seeing three handsome young men, naked and in an extremely hot three-way? Oh yeah, that was steamy. Not that I hadn't fantasized about Dean and I putting Ethan between us, but it appeared Eros and Dan had beaten me to it. "I think Ethan is having a good day," Dean said with a chuckle as we made our way down the back stairs into the kitchen. "Let's be honest, that kid's amazing." "You talking about my boy's skills or his personality?" Dean asked. "Both. I love having him around, it's like having another son. You want coffee?" "Sure. He adores you and not just because of the sex or how hot you are. He always has." Dean gave a sad laugh shaking his head. "I never understood why Kelly was always so upset about how much the kids loved you. You, even more than Megan. You're their favorite." "Have you heard anything from her?" I handed Dean the mug of coffee and sat down at the island breakfast bar. "Not a word." "Did she say how long she planned to be away?" "David, I didn't speak to Kelly after her tantrum in your kitchen. She was already gone when I got home." Dean held his mug in both hands and just stared into the dark brew. "Then, how'd you know? Did she leave a note?" "Rufus was waiting for me at the house. He's the one who told me she was going away for a bit. That she needed some time to think and was checking herself into St. Anthony's. Since then, Bacchus has talked to me a couple of times and told me not to worry about it and not to try and contact her - he was taking care of everything." "But, Dean. She's your wife. Mother to your kids." "Yeah. Guess that makes me a terrible person, doesn't it? I'm so happy to be with you and to finally have a chance, I don't really miss her. Since I'm being honest, my biggest worry is her coming back and messing things up." I stood and wrapped my arms around Dean burying my face in the back of his neck. "I love you, Dean. I'll take whatever of you I can get." Dean gripped my arms and leaned his head back. "Baby, you've got all of me. I've loved you forever and no way in hell I'm giving you up now." "So what next?" Dean's hand wrapped around the back of my head and tangled in my hair. "One day at a time? I'll keep things as normal as I can for Emma and Ethan until we see what plays out. I felt a shiver as I heard pleading and the sounds of sex. Yeah, no question that Ethan was enjoying himself. I knew those happy sounds too well. I decided maybe something mundane would help me ignore what was going on in the other room. Dishes. There were always dishes to do. "You don't have a cleanliness fetish do you?" Dean asked. "No. Just trying to distract myself." "Hmmm. I could distract you..." Dean stepped in behind me pressing his body against mine and slid his hands under my shirt and up my stomach. I loved his touch, and the heat and tingle it brought to my body whenever we were close. I knew I'd fed very well, so it wasn't the mojo this time. No, I fed very well. Then it hit me. Fuck. I just took that kid's virginity and turned it into a gang bang. What kind of monster am I? "Hey. What happened?" Dean turned me and looked into my eyes with concern. "I'm a friggin monster," I blurted. "What? Where the hell did that come from?" Dean gripped my hips and put his forehead against mine. "You are NOT a monster." "After what I just did to Caleb?" "After what 'we' did 'with' Caleb, you mean? I'm pretty sure that young man is very happy with how things went. You gave him what he wanted. And needed. If it weren't you, he'd have found someone else-maybe in some dive truck stop or outside a seedy bar-with men who wouldn't have been nearly as careful or considerate of his safety." "But..." I wanted to object. Couldn't he see what I'd become? "I stole his innocence, corrupted him!" Dean snorted and tipped my chin, so I had to look into his beautiful green eyes. "Bullshit. I have a feeling that 'kid' probably knows more about sex and has seen more than you have. Even if he hasn't personally done it all. Bacchus gave you something special with your gift." "Special? I'm a fucking sex vampire. I feed off of people and make them do shit they wouldn't otherwise do." "No. You are a love god and servant of Bacchus and Aphrodite. You protect the outcasts and help people find themselves and happiness. You bring followers into the fold and bring love to the world," Eros delivered in a firm voice with his arms crossed and a fiery glare in his eyes. "David thinks he's a monster," Dean said while I carefully avoided looking at Eros. "Yeah, I got that. Obviously, he's wrong," Eros responded. "I think he's feeling guilty. You know he was raised Catholic, right?" Dean said, and it was my turn to glare. "What does that have to do with it?" I could hear Eros's sigh from across the room. "What?" "It explains so much. David, look at me," Eros commanded, and I felt a warm fuzzy feeling spread through my body, and my skin itched like there were crawly things moving all over me. I looked into the dark eyes and forgot what we were talking about. "Let go of the guilt. You serve Aphrodite, and your powers are a great gift. Bring love and passion to the people who need it, David. You are not a monster, you are a love god." Eros's words seemed to echo in my head, and my skin itched and tingled even more. "Will that work?" Dean asked, and it worried me because he sounded far away even though he still had his arms wrapped around me. "Yeah, it should. From the look in his eyes I think it stuck. Compulsion is much harder to use on another god, but I've got centuries of experience under my belt. Let me know if he goes into a spiral again," Eros said. "How? It's not like you carry a cell phone," Dean retorted sounding more like normal now. "Sure I do. There. I sent you my contact info." Eros slid the phone back into his pocket and gave me another scrutinizing gaze. I glanced back and forth between Eros and Dean with the sense that something really important happened and I missed it. "So, Eros, you just stopped by to..." "Check on your man... and you. Good thing I did, huh? Dean's son and Dan are both amazing fucks. Asses so tight..." Eros sighed before focusing on Dean again. "How are you feeling?" "Pretty good. I don't remember much after we left Bacchus's place. Okay, I don't remember anything after that until I was back here," Dean said. "You probably won't either. That's okay, and it's nothing to worry about. Aphrodite asked you lots of questions and made you recount memories. Nothing bad happened, honest." "Why can't I remember?" "To protect you. Nothing more diabolical than that," Eros said with a shrug. "You didn't observe or witness anything incriminating, but there were instances where events appeared to have been manipulated. Some of the coincidences were 'too' convenient." "What happens to me now?" Dean asked. "You continue on, building a life with your man." Eros made it sound like it was totally obvious but I could tell Dean still has as many questions and doubts as I did. "How, when Dean's still married, and we don't know what's happening with Kelly?" I challenged. "Is another one of those Catholic things?" Eros asked. "No. What? Why would it have to do with being raised Catholic?" I wasn't getting it. "Fine. Okay, I'll talk to Bacchus and see what we can do," Eros said sounding very put upon. "Until then, keep feeding and work on developing your powers. You've barely scratched the surface, and we need to get you out there helping people fall in love." I tried to think of a response but before I could form any witty retorts Eros vanished. "You have a weird family, David." Dean stepped away and poured himself another cup of coffee. "What? He's not my family!" Why would Dean say such a thing? "Huh? He's your what 'father,' 'grandfather,' 'brother,' as he calls you? I count that as family, and you sure do look alike and same powers, yup that sounds pretty familial to me." "I think he meant it as an expression, you know like 'brothers in crime' not like in blood... shit." I remembered Bacchus saying I was a 'blood relative' and that's why the ceremony worked, and why Jon and I could take on the powers. "Yeah. Like I said." Dean gave me a condescending grin. Damn it. If he weren't so gorgeous and I didn't love him so much I think I had a right to be angry and fuck it-look at those lips, just begging to be kissed. I pushed him back against the counter and let him set the mug down before I captured his mouth. I lost myself in the heated kiss as Dean's hands slid inside the back of my jeans. "Sorry Dan, I do what I can, but those two just can't keep it in their pants. You'll just have to ignore them. You want a coke?" Ethan said interrupting my happy moment. Even so, Dean left his hands on my ass. He rested his chin on my shoulder as he responded to the boys behind us. "Don't let him kid you, Dan, he's just jealous. Ethan has no issues with PDA when it's his ass being groped." "I know where you sleep, old man," Ethan retorted. "Oh, believe me, I'm well aware," Dean said back. Dan started laughing as he accepted the soda and gave me a bashful smile. Sadly I had to extract Dean's hands. I glanced out the window and saw it was still coming down in buckets. "Dan, do you and Caleb want to stay for dinner? It still looks pretty nasty out." "Um..." "It's not a bother. I was just planning spaghetti and meatballs." "Sure, I should call mom." Dan pulled out his phone and stepped into the other room. "Tell her I'll drive you home after and I'll bring your bikes over tomorrow," I yelled out. "Need help?" Dean asked. "Mr. Jensen, mom says you're invited to lunch too," Dan called holding his phone to his ear. "Thank your mom, but I've got to stay home and get some stuff done. And you can call me Dean when we're not at school or soccer." "What do you mean you have to stay home?" I asked feeling a little nervous that Dean wouldn't be with me. He kissed me on the temple and gripped my shoulder. "Babe, I'm playing single parent, remember? I've got to do laundry, buy some groceries, make sure the bills are paid. The kids are almost done with school, and I don't want to throw them off during finals." "Shit, I forgot. Emma graduates this year. Oh, crap. What if Kelly's not back in time? Will Emma be freaked out?" "I doubt she'll care as long as I'm there. She and Kelly... well, they haven't been getting along so well. I've heard of mothers and daughters fighting, but when those two go at it, Ethan and I hide." "Coward." "If you heard them, you'd be with us." Dean started pulling out the ingredients for making the sauce as it sank in. I really wanted us to be a family and while I knew I should feel guilty about Kelly, the feeling just sort of slipped away. "Do you need us to help Mr. Martinez?" Dan asked. "David. Call me David. If you can call him Dean, then you don't need last names. Besides I have this feeling I'm going to be seeing a lot of you and your brother around, right Ethan?" "I hope so," Ethan said blushing and giving a playful punch to Dan's shoulder. "Why don't you guys go power up the PlayStation? We'll let you know when it's time to eat." It wasn't long before I heard the shouts and laughter from the other room. I was feeling really happy. I loved having a full house, and from the sounds it seemed Caleb, Jon, and Jake had joined. I also liked being in the kitchen and cooking with Dean. My phone began to buzz, and I handed off stirring to Dean while I answered. "Hello." "Hey, David. It's Brad. Sorry to bother you but I wanted to make sure Jake was okay. I haven't heard anything from him since yesterday, and he's not answering his phone." "Ha ha. Yeah, he's fine. I think he and Jon might have gotten distracted and forgot about the rest of the world." "Well, he also must have turned off his phone or let it go dead," Brad said. "Want me to get him for you?" "Nah, just remind him that he's opening at the gym tomorrow. If you say he's okay, I'll take your word for it." "He is. You have an amazing son, Brad. I think Jon's pretty lucky. Maybe we can plan a get-together? I think our families are headed for a merger of sorts." "That would be great. Grab me next time you're at the gym, and we can talk." "Um, before or after?" I was sure even Dean could hear the laughter through the phone. "Buddy, you can grab me anytime you want. Later." It didn't hit me until the end of the call how he took my question, and I felt the blood rush to my face and other places. Yeah, I remembered my last time with Brad very clearly. * Scene 3 * Daniel Ward "Did you thank Mr. Martinez?" my mom asked giving me "the look." "Yes, Mom," Caleb and I responded. "Actually, Tabby, I asked the boys to call me David. I hope you don't mind," David said shaking my mom's hand. "Oh, goodness, no. My... the descriptions didn't do you justice," my mom said in a tone I'd never heard from her before. It was all breathy, and she just stood there frozen, staring at David and not letting go of his hand. "You have two, absolutely brilliant boys. They were delightful." David gave Caleb, and then me a dark, sexy look that made me chub up in seconds. But I was still a little miffed that I hadn't had a chance with him. Though I was still on a great high from finding out Ethan was into me. I snickered as the thought of him literally being inside me came back making my heart race. "Well, thank you for being so kind and feeding them. Teenage boys will eat you out of house and home." "They certainly will." I bit my lip as I saw David wink at Caleb. My brother had turned bright red, and his eyes were huge. I figured they weren't talking about eating spaghetti. "I was planning lunch for 1:00 tomorrow. Will that work for you and your son?" Mom asked. "That will be great. Thank you again. Jon and I will bring the bikes over then, when it's not pouring buckets." He looked back over his shoulder at the deluge. "See you tomorrow boys." David gave a wave and stepped back out into the rain. I might have been holding my breath as Mom closed the door then fell back against it and sighed. "Oh. My. God. Really guys? I am so sorry I doubted you! When you said Mr. Martinez was the hottest guy you'd ever seen I thought you were exaggerating." She fanned herself, then gave us a big smile. "I want to hear ALL about it, every nasty detail. But first, Mommy needs some alone time. Why don't you boys settle in and I'll be back in a bit." I watched as Mom practically ran up the stairs and then I heard their bedroom door shut. "That was sort of creepy," Caleb said looking up the stairs. "Guess she liked Mr. Martinez, huh?" "Duh." Caleb turned and walked into the kitchen. I joined him and pulled a soda out of the fridge. "I sorta hate you right now, Caleb." "Why? What'd I do?" Caleb squeaked. "You got David, and I was kinda hoping..." Caleb snorted. "Fuck. I'm not apologizing. It was... incredible." "Thanks. Not helping." "Yeah? So what did you do while I was upstairs? From how you smell, I don't think you were playing games the whole time. You get it on with 'Ethan Jensen'?" Caleb teased drawing out Ethan's name dramatically. "So what if I did?" I couldn't keep the smile off my face. "Dude! Isn't he the one you were just telling me about?" "Yeah." Even to me, I sounded sappy. "He wants to see me again." Caleb snorted. "Which parts of you?" "Jerk. So what happened?" I asked. "I'll tell you when I tell Mom. No point in going through it twice." Caleb pulled out a bag of chips and jumped up, so he was sitting on the counter. "You promise to tell me the extra bits you don't tell her?" "Maybe I'll show you..." Caleb gave me a smile, and my mind started to spin, wondering what he meant. Did David say something? I hadn't told Caleb or Mom what Jon had whispered. It was like I could still feel the heat of his breath when he'd whispered my ass was made for dick and that I wanted his dad. He'd known without me saying a word. I was about to ask him what he meant when Mom came into the room. "Caleb Ward, get your bottom off my counter!" "What? It's clean." "Where are your manners? Now, into the other room and tell me everything." I spent the next several minutes recounting what happened. I went first and other than a gasp and wide eyes when I described Eros showing up, I didn't get too much of a reaction. Mom "oohed and awed" over me connecting with Ethan-she knew I had a crush on him. But it was pretty anti-climactic. Then it was Caleb's turn. Oh, goodness. I thought my dick was going to burst through my jeans. Mom had to stop him and get a glass of water and still fanned herself through most of the story. I was sort of surprised she didn't ask questions, but then again from her expression I wasn't sure she could. Caleb finally wrapped up saying that Jon and Jake had helped him get dressed before they all came downstairs. "Sweetie, are you okay with everything that happened?" Mom asked. I could hear the concern and worry in her voice, even with as strained and raspy as it came out. Hearing Caleb recount his "adventure" to mom was probably one of the most embarrassing moments in my life. Probably worse because he didn't seem bothered at all and seemed oblivious to the effect it had on both of us. I also understood why she was worried, that was a lot for a first time experience. "It was... amazing! Yeah, I'm way beyond okay with it." Caleb was more excited and animated than I'd seen him since Christmas morning. "I can only imagine..." Mom's voice trailed off as if she weren't even talking to us. "Well, don't stay up too late. We have church in the morning then the Martinez's will be joining us for lunch." "Where's Dad?" "He's out with his buddies. I don't expect him home until late." Mom started closing up-which was weird considering how early it was. "Can we watch a movie down here?" Caleb asked. "Sure. I'm turning in early. Night boys." I watched the stairs until I heard the sound of the door close. "Hey, you wanna fuck?" Caleb asked. "What?" I turned to look at my little brother in shock. I had to have heard him wrong. "Forget the movie, I wanna eat your ass out and fuck you." "Caleb? What's gotten into you? We're brothers." Sure we'd done some stuff and told each other everything but... "With needs." Caleb's look made my stomach do flips. I was getting really warm, and my cock was trying to escape again. I couldn't believe I was even considering letting my brother... but then... his hand ran over my bulge, and I let out a moan. "Yeah, you want dick. I know you do." Caleb squeezed my crotch and then slid his hand around to my ass. "We can practice, so you know how to take care of Evan." The next hour seemed more like a dream. And now, here I was begging for him to fuck me. He'd rimmed, licked, sucked, and tongue fucked me until I was a lust-driven wreck. The way he went at my ass was almost desperate. "Please, Caleb. Just do it!" I felt him slide in and groaned as I gripped the bed. There was no pain, no burn just an incredible glide of flesh. It filled a need I didn't even know existed. Once he was all the way in he leaned down, pressing his body into my back and bit my shoulder. "Best ass ever, Danny. I think you'll be my favorite." * Scene 4 * David Martinez "I didn't even know you still had that," Jon said as he helped me strap the bike into the rack. "Why wouldn't I? We still have our bikes, and I figured someday you may want to go out riding again." "Yeah, I guess. So, do you have a plan?" "Not really beyond what we talked about. We need to make sure we finish with Caleb and Dan and give them complementary desires. And we have to come up with a way to trigger Mr. Ward's lust. Once we've got something to work with, the rest shouldn't be too hard. Then we'll need to come up with a way to get to the uncles." "Okay. So are you taking the lead or am I?" "Let's see how things go and who has the opportunity. I'm thinking I should, not because I'm any more experienced. I just don't trust him." I saw Jon had gone conservative for our lunch date. A polo and khakis. "Is Jake coming over later?" "No. He has to work, and we decided it might be good to take a breather and make sure we're not rushing things." "Ha, yeah, I guess. You need to do whatever makes you guys comfortable." "Can I ask? Is Dean moving in?" "What?" I turned to Jon as I finished fastening the bike. "No. He's... I mean... um, he's still married, Jon." Jon snorted and gave me a disbelieving look. "You two are so in love. You can't keep your hands off each other. Who are you kidding?" I opened my mouth to argue but closed it again. He was right. "How about if I go with 'someday'?" "Right... Dean and Ethan coming over for dinner?" "No. They have stuff to do. Not sure when they'll be over again. They're in the middle of finals and getting ready for graduation, so they've got to focus on that. Hey, did you remember to get your suits?" "Yup. Jake and I picked them up yesterday when we were out." Jon pulled out his phone. "We're right on time. You ready?" "Yeah." I took a deep breath and climbed into the SUV. The Wards only lived a few blocks away, so it didn't take long. Jon helped me get the bikes up to their front porch, and I prepared myself for a very unusual afternoon before ringing the bell. The door opened, and a very attractive woman with strawberry blond hair and a huge smile greeted us. "Oh, my. You have to be the Martinez men." "Good afternoon, I'm David and this is my son Jon. You are?" "I'm Paula Castle. Guess you'd say a friend of the family. Please, come in." I then heard another voice and an equally attractive Mrs. Ward stepped in with hand extended. "I'm so glad you could make it." I shook hands and handed her the bottle of wine I brought with us. "I know it's a bit early for wine, but thought you could save it for a special evening with Mr. Ward." Paula gave an inelegant snort, and Jon nudged me giving a pointed glance at Paula. I picked it up on it right away once I paid attention. Paula was in love with Tabby Ward. And she didn't much care for Mr. Ward. "I'm going to go pop those rolls into the oven then I think my work is done here." Paula gave us a nod and headed to the kitchen. "Is there anything we can help you with?" "No, please sit down and relax. You're the guests." Tabby pointed us into the living room, but I followed her into the kitchen instead. "Please, I'd rather help. What can I do?" Tabby gave me a curious expression. "Sure, how are you at cutting vegetables for the salad?" "Great. Haven't lost any fingers yet," I joked wiggling my fingers at her. She set out the knife, cutting board and then went to pull the other stuff out of the refrigerator. "I'm not used to men offering to help." Paula snorted again. "That's the truth. Though the boys are learning. I'm done here, love. I'll see you tonight at the church." She gave a quick hug to Tabby before turning back to me. "It was a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Martinez." "David, please. And the pleasure was mine." I watched her leave wondering what the story was. She lit up whenever she looked at Tabby, and her voice had real warmth when she mentioned the boys. Huh... I turned back to my chore and tried to pick up what Tabby was feeling. Interesting. "I love cooking," I said, "though I need a lot more training. I was always the sous chef. Megan did most of the actual cooking." I felt a stab of sadness at the memory. But I also realized it wasn't as bad anymore and that it triggered thinking of Dean and how maybe we could learn to cook together. "I'm so sorry for your loss." "Hey, it's okay. So diced for salad, right?" "Yes." I could feel her staring at me. I turned and she had her arms crossed, leaning back against the counter. "My goodness. It's a woman's dream. Gorgeous man in my kitchen, and actually helping." "Hmph. I think you need higher standards. Why aren't Dan and Caleb helping?" "They're up changing. I know how those two eat and I didn't want them spilling on their church clothes. I don't know, maybe I gave up too easily." Tabby went back to working at the stove taking out some obvious frustration on some innocent potatoes. "It was different when we were first married. Better, not perfect, but better. I'm not sure what happened." "You need some joy in your life." "I have my boys." "And they're getting older. Soon they'll be going off to college. Then what?" I'd finished the carrots and celery and began work on the pepper. "I try not to think about that. But you have Jon, you know what it's like. Seeing them happy... it's... so good." "Agreed. But you need to do something for you. Tell me about Paula." "What? Paula? What's she got to do..." Her eyes went wide, and she let out a little gasp. All I'd done was raise an eyebrow - so okay, I am not good at poker faces. "Yeah, love god." "I... um..." Tabby stuttered opening the cupboards in search of something. "I'm going to give you unsolicited advice. After lunch, let the boys and me do clean-up. You, go after Paula and tell her how you feel. And none of this you're my best friend cover story you've been using. Tell her the truth." Her face turned bright red. "But, what if she laughs or worse gets angry and throws me out?" "Not gonna happen. But, you might want to freshen up before you head over to her place." I gave her a wink and Tabby's eyes went wide. "Seize the opportunity Tabby. Your husband is going to be occupied keeping your boys happy. No reason you can't be satisfied too. You two would be good for each other. And longer term, I think she'd be good to have around for the boys." "But James..." I turned to face her. "I'll make sure James takes good care of you, and the boys. I can make sure he fulfills his husbandly duty, but you deserve more. You 'need' what Paula has to offer. James's dick isn't going to fill the void. Honestly, she needs you too." She was quiet while scooping the mashed potatoes into a bowl. "James tries. I know he still loves me and the sex isn't bad. But he's changed. I thought I loved him enough to make up for it. He didn't always have the dark edge." "And when Jon and I are done, you probably won't even see that darkness. We'll make sure it's redirected, so neither you nor the boys have to worry." * Scene 5 * David Martinez "I think that's the last of it, Dad," Jon said hanging up the dish towel. "So now what?" Dan asked. I couldn't help smile at the eager look on the boys' faces. Lunch had some awkward moments, but the food was excellent, and Dan and Caleb didn't even flinch at having to help clean up. Though I could see the nervous tick as James waited for me to comment on his lack of participation. "Now we get your dad upstairs and fix this once and for all. Before we do, sit down. We need to go over a few things." I waited until Jon and the brothers sat at the kitchen table and then took a seat opposite. "Jon and I can make sure you are safe with your dad and redirect his less desirable interests; however, it's important to know there are limits." "What do you mean?" Dan asked. "I mean he's still your dad, and there are people out there who won't understand and who have way too much hate in their souls. You have to be careful - even in Bacchus Springs." "Okay," Caleb said nodding. "I get that. Wouldn't want him to get arrested and have us end up living under a bridge." "Not exactly what I was going for but, yeah. You both have to put on a good show in public. Even behind closed doors, I want you to be careful. You must never do anything that would cause harm or injury or put anyone in danger." "Got it," Dan said glancing at Caleb who was nodding in agreement. "You both have to act responsibly. Doesn't mean you can't embarrass or even humiliate him but don't be cruel. You want to share him with people you trust and are sure can keep the secret that's okay. I don't care if you pimp him out, but always be 'safe.'" "What about Mom?" Dan asked. "What do you mean?" "What if he realizes she talked to Bacchus and Dad gets angry and takes it out on her?" Dan asked. "He's got a bad temper," Caleb added. "Don't worry. Jon and I will take care of that. So, you two ready?" "What exactly are we going to do? Do you hypnotize him or somethin'?" Caleb asked. "Nah, much better than that. We need there to be lots of lust and sex works best for that, then we make suggestions," Jon explained. "You are both going to have sex with Dad? That's so not fair." Danny looked put out as he crossed his arms and glared. Jon gave me a big smile before he reached over and gripped Dan's shoulder. "I think we'll need you and your brother to help." The look was skeptical, but at least the corners of Dan's mouth turned up a little. I was the first into the living room and saw that James was sitting on the couch flipping channels. "Everything's cleaned up. Would you like to join us, James?" I asked. "Join you?" James asked setting down the remote. "Yeah, I thought you might at least like to watch. I'm going to fuck your son." I started toward the stairs without pausing. I wasn't exactly sure how he'd take the bold "in your face" approach. "You're what?" James shouted. "No way in hell that monster of yours'll fit in his ass. And wait, which son?" "Either. Both. Haven't decided yet. You enjoyed it though, didn't you James? You liked having my cock up your ass, right?" Okay so which son wasn't the place I expected him to go, but he didn't seem either angry or shocked. I turned back and watched his eyes dart frantically to his sons while his face blossomed red. Maybe he didn't want them to know I'd already fucked him. Too bad. "Well, if it wasn't good enough or memorable enough to remember. Maybe you should stay down here and watch TV." I knew from his thoughts the lust had already started to burn. He liked the idea of watching his sons take it up the ass. "No, sorry. I remember, and I'd like to watch." I looked into the boy's bedrooms when we got upstairs and realized they were a little small for what I wanted. While Danny had a full-sized bed, I saw that James and Tabby had a king. Much more suitable for what I had planned. I'm sure she'll forgive me since it's all for a good cause. "Hey, James. Let's use your bed." "Um... sure." I pulled the comforter and the top blanket and sheet off the bed and threw them in the corner then grabbed a chair and positioned it at the corner where James would have a good view. I turned back and began unbuttoning my shirt as I kicked off my shoes. "You'll sit there, James. But take your shirt and pants off first. Actually, if you want to watch you should be naked." I saw him hesitate, but I knew how badly he wanted to see this. Little did he know he'd be the one getting fucked before we were done. "Where do you want us?" Dan asked nervously. I pulled Jon over and whispered. "You help get them naked while I work on James." Then I responded to Dan. "Jon will show you." Jon began undressing before he moved over to help Caleb and Dan. I stepped up behind James and placed my hands on his shoulders before sliding them around over his barrel chest and inside his shirt. I unbuttoned a couple buttons then massaged his furry chest, finding his nipples and teasing them. "You do remember what it felt like, don't you, James?" I pressed my erection into his full ass - still covered by his slacks. "Yes." His voice came out in a low rumble. "You have two gorgeous boys. Look at those smooth lean bodies, cute round asses just waiting to be split open. It turns you on to think about them getting fucked, doesn't it, James?" I whispered as one hand pulled and tugged at the hard nipple while my other hand unfastened his belt. The shirt was completely open now, and I slid it off his shoulders. "Yes." "I'm going to fuck your son and breed his pretty ass. Then when I'm done with him, you're going to get your tongue in him and lick it all out." James moaned in response, and I slid his pants down. "Boxers? No, James. Toss 'em all. From now on, jock straps, open back, or nothing." I gave a push of compulsion with the command then slid them off of him. "Sit and watch. Don't touch your dick," I ordered. Jon came up to me and whispered. "Dad, Dan really wants you. Just thought you'd want to know." Dan was naked and looking at me hopefully. I approached him as I saw Jon do the same with Caleb. "You okay with this?" Dan nodded, and his eyes trailed up my body getting wider and darker as he took me in. His tongue licked along his lower lip, and he made a sweet moan. I have to keep reminding myself not to let it go to my head. But having someone totally lust out just looking at you is pretty freaking amazing. More so when you could read their thoughts and taste the lust. I tipped Dan's head up with my finger on his chin and kissed him. His lips were soft, and he tasted as sweet as he smelled. He'd already started filling out, and I wouldn't be surprised he ended up being a jock like Jake. Okay, fuck, don't think about Jake. My cock had immediately gone rock-hard. But a trendier cut and some highlights in Dan's light- brown hair and he'd be a knock-out. Caleb might be prettier but Dan... His hands wrapped around my cock and began stroking and exploring. "Geez, it's big," Dan said in awe. "No bigger than Jon's and you already know that fit just fine." Dan looked up into my eyes, his beautiful browns sparkling and gave me a blinding smile. "Yeah..." I pushed him back onto the bed and let my hands explore the teen's body. He might look like the boy next door, but his body was made for sex. I kissed down his chest giving special attention to his nipples then down until I could bury my nose in his silky pubic hair. It smelled so good. He must have had some leakage because I could smell it. I kissed his cock and licked it from bottom to top, all the way around until I took the head in my mouth and sucked. I looked up to see him staring down at me. Poor guy was totally lust- drunk. I'd have to ask Jon later, but if he had reinforced Dan's attraction to me, that might be helping him ramp up faster. I loved the taste of his pre-cum. It was sweet with just a hint of salty. I licked over his balls which weren't shaved but hadn't developed much hair yet. His taint and ass were smooth. I dipped my tongue toward his hole, and Dan gasped and jerked. "Hey, you okay with me rimming you?" Dan nodded rapidly and gripped the headboard while lifting his knees to his chest. Well, guess that's a clear sign. I was still learning and would be the first to admit that even Ethan was much more skilled than I, but Dan still seemed to enjoy my attention. I tried to remember what Matthew and Blaze had done for me and repeat it on Dan's tender hole. I used both the flat of my tongue as well as the tip when I slid inside him to keep things interesting. "Okay, okay, can you fuck me now... please," Dan pleaded. Maybe I wasn't as bad as I'd thought. I leaned up and kissed Dan, wrapping him in my arms. Jon must have heard because he slid the lube over to me. I picked it up and dripped some onto Dan's tiny little hole then began working it in. "You watching James? Isn't this the prettiest little pucker you've ever seen?" I looked at Dan's dad and saw the raw need in his eyes. More importantly, his lust had built to a raging fire. I watched James's eyes as I slid a finger inside his son. "So damn tight. You wanna feel?" James nodded, standing and coming over to stand beside us. His cock was hard, and a stream of pre-cum trailed behind as he moved. I took his hand, put some lube on his finger and guided it, so it teased the little puckered opening. I pushed it in, letting him feel how hot and tight Dan was. "Good, right? I'm going to enjoy fucking him. You think he'll like it as much as you did?" James startled, and I saw the conflict in his eyes. Maybe he didn't want his sons to know how much he liked taking my dick. Not that it mattered. I saw Jon watching and knew he was thinking the same thing as I. It was time to feed. "Sit back down, James. Danny, I'll be right back." I climbed off the bed and stood beside James. His eyes glued to my cock. "Get me ready, James. Take it in your mouth and get me nice and wet." I used just a bit of compulsion. James reached out and stroked me, his hand barely able to wrap around my shaft. He glanced up as he lowered his mouth and took the head of my dick into his mouth and began to suck and lave it with his tongue - leaving a trail of spit behind. "Fuck, you're so huge." His voice was barely above a whisper. "Yeah, and you're going to watch all of it disappear into your boy's ass. Jon, come over and let James get you ready too. Not fair for Caleb not to get a little action." James took Jon in hand and did the same pulling back and looking at the monster cock in his hand. "It's... identical." I knew we at least tasted different but then again my senses were no longer human, and James hardly counted as a connoisseur. I moved back to the bed and stifled a laugh when I saw Caleb excitedly waiting for Jon. His ass up in the air wiggling in anticipation. Dan, on the other hand, looked a little more anxious. I dribbled more lube down his crack and went to work with my fingers, making sure he was relaxed and ready. If I hadn't paused after the rimming, I think he'd have done better. After a minute or two, his body was responding, and he began moaning and pushing back to get more sensation. "Fuck YES!" Caleb cried out. I turned to see Jon bottoming out in the twink's body. I knew how good Caleb felt wrapped around 'my' dick so was sure Jon was in a happy place. "Don't forget to feed," I reminded him. It was surprisingly easy to get caught up in the pleasure and forget. Jon gave me a smile and a grin as he began moving. I turned my attention back to Dan, and rubbed my shaft up and down his crack, teasing his twitching hole. Each pass I lingered a little longer pushing against his opening. I swear I could see my mojo working - his little rosebud was opening on its own, trying to suck me in. I gently pushed and slid past the tight ring of muscle. "Ohhhh, crap!" Dan panted. "Relax," I said with compulsion. "I'm no bigger than Jon. Give your body a moment to catch up. I'm not moving until you're ready." "'kay." "James, you want to come over for a closer view?" He stood right beside me. His heart was pounding loudly enough I could hear it. His eyes were glued to where my cock was breaching Dan's ass. Dan let out an audible sigh, and without any effort, I slid farther inside. "That's the way, stud." I pulled back a little and then slid in again. Over and over until I was all the way inside his silky, hot tunnel. His body caressed every inch of my shaft. "Fuck," James muttered. "You have two absolutely stunning sons, James. And now that I've been inside both I can say they have perfect man pussies. Made for fucking, just like yours." James stepped back and returned his chair. Guess I better take my own advice. I opened myself to the lust and began feeding from Dan. It tasted amazing. I rolled the lust across my palate as I fucked him. Time to give back. Can you hear me Dan? "Mmmmm-hmmm," Dan moaned. I ran through the conversation I'd had with Jon on what he'd done with Dan. I could feel that his desire to be fucked and bred was already topped off. But I could reinforce his desire and pleasure at fucking other men - not just his dad and uncles. So that's where I started. Then to deal with Caleb. Danny, from now on Caleb is one of your favorite lovers. You'll gladly bend over and give yourself to him whenever and wherever it's safe to do so. And when he wants to be the one getting fucked you'll do your very best. You and Caleb will always take care of each other. I didn't need to do much more where his dad was concerned. Jon had already taken care of that. But there was still so much lust... Jon was already taking care of Caleb and Danny was horny enough I didn't really need to feed more back into him. James's heavy breathing reminded me that he was still there, still watching. I pressed my chest down against Dan's back and wiggled my hips when I was buried deep inside him. I licked along Dan's ear and whispered. "Want to fuck your dad, while I'm buried deep in your ass?" Dan's response wasn't coherent, but since I knew what he was thinking, I took it as a yes. "James, get on your hands and knees on the bed." "But... why?" "Dan wants to fuck you, that's why." I watched for a reaction and was surprised when James got into position without even pausing. Maybe my powers were stronger than I realized. Sure I'd used my mojo to reinforce his need to be fucked and most especially by Dan, but somehow I hadn't expected it to actually work. I pulled out of Dan and kissed him before grabbing the lube and getting James's furry hole ready for his son. "That's it, James. Open up for me." I pushed one, then two fingers in getting him nice and slick. I reached under him and stroked his cock getting it slick as well. "You ready?" "Yes, please..." James looked over his shoulder at Dan and licked his lips. "You heard him, Dan. Get your dick in there. Once you're balls deep, I'll get in behind you." Dan was surprisingly gentle and took his time getting his uncut dick in James's hairy ass. He gave a couple of slow thrusts eliciting appreciative moans from his dad. Dan reached out and took my hand and pulled me toward him. "No rush." I added some more lube and stroked myself making sure I was well coated before I slid back into place. Dan leaned over his dad's back and groaned as I seated myself deep inside him. "So good. Don't worry, I'm not likely to fall out. Move as much as you want." Dan began sliding forward and back fucking his dad while fucking himself on my cock. I hadn't been paying a lot of attention to Jon and Caleb but could feel that Caleb was close to orgasm. "Caleb, why don't you get in front of your dad and let him suck you off." "Where do you want me?" Jon asked. "For now, get in behind Caleb and keep your dick inside his ass." I had to trust that Jon had finished the "adjustments" with Caleb and focus on James. That was the purpose of this visit after all. I fed off Dan and James's combined lust and fed it back into James. First was making sure that all the protections and needs I'd given him for Dan also applied to Caleb. Next were dealing with Caleb's particular needs. He'd need to be a human dildo for his son, giving him pleasure and taking care of his needs. "James, you will protect your boys and your wife and provide for them. You will be the 'picture-perfect' husband and father. You will satisfy all their sexual needs and keep them safe. You will not allow your brothers to harm, coerce, or use them in any way. Behind closed doors, you are their sex slave. Your body is theirs to use. Do you understand?" "Yes," James gasped around Caleb's cock. I knew I didn't need to speak out loud, but I thought it would help Dan and Caleb if they heard it as well. "James, any anger, frustration, resentment, any negative emotions will be directed to your brothers and those who would harm your family. Never your wife or sons." "Mmmm-hmmm." I saw Jon looking at me over Caleb's shoulder. "I miss anything?" I tried to get the words out clearly, but Dan had me really close. "We're good. I can't..." Jon began, and I could see the strain in his face from holding back his orgasm. "Me either." I pushed all the remaining lust back into James as my cock exploded deep in Dan's ass. That was all it took for Dan to do likewise and I felt his body tighten and squeeze as he blew his load in his dad's ass. From what I sensed and the sounds they were making I was pretty sure Caleb had given his dad a mouthful while Jon creamed Caleb's guts. I ran my hands up and down Dan's back and enjoyed the feeling of being buried deep inside him for a minute before I pulled out. I turned him into a kiss, and he wrapped himself around me while kissing me passionately. "Thanks," Dan whispered. "Believe me, it was my pleasure," I whispered back nipping his lower lip. I hugged him tightly and licked at the tender skin on his neck. "You ever want a rematch, you're always welcome at my place." Dan pulled back and looked me in the eyes. His pretty brown eyes were wide in total disbelief. I kissed him again, claiming his mouth with my tongue. I slipped my hand down to cup his ass and teased along his opening. "No. I am not kidding. Besides, you may just run into Ethan when you're there." Dan hugged me burying his face in my neck this time. "Thank you." I felt a little guilty at the emotions pouring off of him. Didn't he realize I was getting the better part of this deal? A sweet, young teen ass to fuck and the tastiest lust and seed to feed my hunger. I should be the one thanking him. Jon turned Caleb around and positioned him until James was eating out Jon's load. "When your dad's done with Caleb, get up there and let him lick you out." While James finished licking out his son's hole, I fingered and stroked him to keep him on edge. "It's your turn, Caleb. Get your dick in that creamy hole," Jon said guiding Caleb behind his dad. I took the opportunity to position Dan so James could keep up his tongue work. "Got another sweet hole to clean. I know how much you love sucking down another man's cream." I ran my hands over James's back then underneath to play with his nipples. He groaned and arched at my attention but didn't once let his tongue move away from the nectar in Dan's ass. Jon was now stroking James's leaking prick. Not enough to get him off, just enough to keep him on edge as his younger son discovered how good his dad's hole felt wrapped around his dick. "Good, isn't it Caleb?" I asked. He gave me a smile and offered a fist bump. "Real good. But I'd rather have you or Jon inside me." I leaned in and kissed him. "Me too." Caleb didn't last all that long and was soon blowing his boy juice into James's innards while his dad's face was still buried in his brother's ass. "Go ahead, Jon. You're next." I helped Caleb to the side and then licked up his still creamy dick, enjoying the taste of his seed and Dan's. "That's so hot. Do I look that good with Jon's dick in my ass?" I watched Jon's huge beast split the furry globes of James's buttocks and had to agree it looked hot. "You are so much hotter, Caleb. Seeing that big ol' cock in your cute little bum is a major turn on." "Yeah? As good as having yours inside me." "That's not even worth answering, of course not." I leaned in and kissed him. "You let me know if it looks as sexy when I fuck your dad, okay?" "Shit, you going to?" "Mmm-hmm. And I want you to watch." * Scene 6 * Jon Martinez I stared at the TV screen in a daze. I think my brain was still struggling to process everything that had happened in the last couple of weeks. I reminded myself that while it was pretty unbelievable and maybe a bit fucked up, it was good. Like mind-blowing good. I saw Dad moving around in the kitchen getting us drinks. Damn, he was gorgeous. I saw the screen had faded and realized I still hadn't pulled up our show. I quickly flipped to the 'continue watching' and cued it to start. "Here ya go," Dad said handing me a soda. "Thanks. To a great day!" I said holding my glass up. Dad clinked his into mine and gave me a big smile. "Yeah, weird but good." "Dad, lately, every day can be described as 'weird.'" He laughed, and it made me feel so good. After mom died, I wasn't sure I'd ever see him happy again or hear that deep rumbling laugh. "You need to call Dean before we start?" "Nah, we're going to Facetime later." "Ooooooh, Facetime sex." He laughed again. "Yeah, probably. Not saying that's the plan..." "I love seeing you happy." "What about Jake?" "He was doing family stuff. Sunday night is a big deal at their house. Ben usually comes over, and his mom makes a big dinner. We'll probably catch up tomorrow after I get home from work." "You excited?" Dad asked. "A little nervous. Not sure what to expect or what I'll be doing. Can't imagine checking people into the resort will fill the time." My phone started to vibrate, and I pulled it out to see who was calling. "Jake?" "Nope. Liam. You mind?" "Not at all, take your time." I accepted the call and walked into the kitchen. "Hey, Liam. What's up?" "You tell me. You never call anymore. Don't you love me, Jon?" "Ha ha. Asshat. You could have called me. What makes you think I've done anything interesting? So, Cuz, you out of the closet yet?" "Fuck you too. I'm in the backyard. Noah is over at a friend's house so we can talk without any irritating interruptions." "How you doing... you seeing anyone?" I asked wondering how the whole Cassie thing was going. "Nah. No time. I'm done with all my finals since most of my classes were AP. Just killing time until graduation. Wish you guys could be here, but we only get two guests. The little shit can't even come. How about you? You have your date with jock-boy?" "Yeah..." Shit that came out way too sappy. "Oh dude. Did I hear chirpy birds and little hearts circling?" "Maybe. The date was amazing." "Important shit first. Does he have a sister?" "No, just a brother. But I have met some really nice girls. But I don't know, Liam, you're a bit of a douchebag. Not sure it would be good for my image for them to know I'm associated with you." "Fuck you! I could be a damned good wingman. We pinky swore we'd watch out for each other. Did you forget?" "Nah, just pulling your chain. I think you should visit. It's not nearly as much of a Podunk town as I expected." "Did you check to see if they have lead in the water? 'Cause I'm thinking you're not quite right in the head," Liam said. "Could be. So everything else okay?" I asked. "Maybe not. I'm not sure, but I think something's going down. Mom and Dad are acting strange and keep having these 'quiet' conversations. If I overheard right, I think some big Atlanta company is doing a buyout of the firm where Dad works." "Did you ask?" "No, shit for brains. I was eavesdropping through the door, I couldn't ask." "Wow. Sorry." "Yeah. Crap, Mom's calling for me. Gotta go." "Take care, Cuz." "Talk to you later." Liam ended the call, and just as I was about to slide it in my pocket, it buzzed again. "Hello," I answered without even looking at who called. "Hi sexy," Jake's voice purred. I leaned against the counter and sighed. "Hey. I missed you." "Missed you too. Can't wait to wrap myself around you again." "Hmmm. Sounds nice." I adjusted myself in my sweats. "I can't talk long, they're waiting for me. Just wanted to let you know I love you and was thinking about you all day." "Me too. Can we talk tomorrow?" "Um, I have to work until seven but maybe... if you're okay with it... I could like stop over after," Jake suggested. "Even better. So I'll see you then?" I asked. "Definitely. Love you." "Love you too, Jake." I ended the call feeling both sad and excited. "All good?" Dad asked when I dropped onto the couch. I told Dad about Liam's worry and then about the quick call with Jake. "You okay sleeping in my bed tonight?" Dad asked. "Just try and keep me out." "Ha. Yeah, not gonna happen. Maybe we can distract each other from missing our men?" "It'll take some serious work, but I like a challenge." I leaned into Dad, scooting between his legs as I leaned my back against his chest. As soon as I was in place, he wrapped his arms around me, and his hands slid into my sweats. Okay... this was great for distraction, but I wasn't sure how much attention I'd be giving to our show. * Scene 7 * David Martinez "Mr. Martinez, Drew Prentice is here for your meeting," Mrs. Cokesbury announced. Of course she didn't knock before opening the door. Who would think of such a thing? I swear the old shrew could suck the life out of turnip. Huh... I wonder if vampires are real? Nah, she's more of a witch. "Thank you, please ask him to come in. Oh, and next time, Mrs. Cokesbury, please knock before opening the door." She grunted and glared at me. Damn, I hated that woman. I heard her asking Drew to go in. A young guy, maybe early twenties tentatively poked his head in the door. "Is now still a good time, Mr. Martinez?" Drew Prentice asked. "Sure, come on in, and please, call me David." "Yes, sir. Um. My boss asked me to talk to you about the forecast and go over how to make changes." "That's fine. Please sit down." I directed him to the small table in my office and sat down beside him. He was a nice looking young man. Boy next door type. Average build, brown hair, blue eyes and an adorable smile that appeared to be too afraid to manifest fully. But most surprisingly he didn't have Bacchus's mark. He wasn't part of the flock. "I guess, um, Mr. Bacchus indicated that there were going to be some changes and that we should talk to you to get things squared away." He didn't look at me as he spoke, it almost seemed that he looked everywhere but. "Bacchus didn't really give me a budget or tell me what my limits were," I confessed. Drew gave a nervous laugh. "You don't have limits. This is just to make sure we have an idea what to expect so we move the money around accordingly. They try to keep most of the funds invested, so we earn more. And we don't want to hold you up while we get cash." "Oh, no limits huh? So dancing girls for the break room?" I teased but felt the immediate response that indicated that didn't interest Drew in the least. "Or... even better," I continued leaning in close, "naked dancing boys." I saw his eyes glance at me for just a second and felt the wave of lust. Oh, yeah, he liked that. Drew burst out laughing and turned a bright shade of red. "I like the way you think." "Like minds, Mr. Prentice, like minds." The door opened, and Mrs. Cokesbury poked her head in. "Do you need anything?" "No. If I need anything, I'll let you know." She glared at me and gave a scrutinizing look at Drew who seemed to shrink under her gaze. Mrs. Cokesbury stepped back and pulled the door closed behind her. "You know her outside of work?" I asked. "Yeah. She's friends with my mother." I noticed the shudder as he responded. "Sorry. So where were we? Oh yeah, naked dancing boys." Drew smiled, one that reached his eyes this time. "I wish. No, we were going to talk about what you think you'll need for the changes you discussed with Mr. Bacchus." "You're no fun, but fine." I noticed that he snuck another glance, his gaze going up and down my body as he thought my attention was on the papers in front of me. I outlined the plan for bringing my old firm on retainer and then hiring some additional legal staff. We did a back and forth on timing and amounts before Drew said there were some resources that I could use to help with the hiring process. "I could show you on your computer, if you want?" Drew offered. "Sure." I stood up and again wondered why someone who worked for Bacchus wouldn't have the mark. "Drew, can I ask something?" "Yeah." "Do you live in Bacchus Springs?" "Me? No. I live on the north side of Portersville with my mom." Oh dear. He is too old and too hot to live at home. "How long have you worked here?" Surely if he'd worked here a while, he'd still have been brought into the fold. "Just hit my six month anniversary." Okay, that's strange. I'd have to ask Bacchus. Maybe I didn't understand how things worked as well as I thought. Drew sat down in the chair and then asked me to enter my password. I couldn't help but get a good whiff of him as I leaned across. He smelled delicious, roasted nuts and a hint of cinnamon. I had a mental image of licking him from head to toe. I tried to take a cleansing breath when I stood back up otherwise I wouldn't be able to pay any attention to what he was saying. I also noticed that my close proximity had increased his heart rate. Hell, who was I kidding? I stood behind the chair as he pulled up the Human Resources application and placed my hands on his shoulders. He immediately stiffened. "Relax, Drew," I said using compulsion. "You don't need to be nervous around me. You can trust me. I'm your friend, Drew." I massaged his shoulders as I pushed my thoughts into his mind. "You can be honest with me, no secrets, nothing you can't share. You can be yourself with me, Drew. I'll take care of you and make you feel so good." Drew's body relaxed, and he tipped his head against my arm. "Your hands feel really good," Drew whispered. I slid them over his shoulders and over the stiff starched cotton of his dress shirt. I palmed the firm pecs and felt his nipples harden, poking against the cloth. I teased them gently. "You can trust me with your body too, Drew." I could feel my words taking hold. His body was quickly responding to me, and I knew he wanted a lot more from me than a shoulder rub. Sadly, this was work, and I really needed to take things slow. I didn't want to scare him off. I pulled my hands back up and gave his shoulders a squeeze. "So what are you showing me?" I leaned over beside him, and the office door opened again, Mrs. Cokesbury stepping in with a scowl. "What's going on?" "Excuse me? Is there a reason you keep interrupting us, Mrs. Cokesbury? I certainly didn't call you?" "This is a place of business!" she scolded. "Quite aware of that and if you weren't interrupting, then that's what Mr. Prentice and I would be discussing. Please leave." She harrumphed and left slamming the door this time. "Crap. I'm going to hear about this when I get home," Drew said. "About what?" "I don't know what she'll make up this time. I've been accused of so many things. As far as she's told my mother I've been sleeping with or trying to get into the skirts of every woman on staff. Guess now, I'm trying to seduce you. At least you're the right gender." I burst out laughing and had to give myself a minute. I leaned in close in case the witch was listening at the door. "You don't have to seduce me. Just say the word, and I'll be all over you." Drew turned bright red and from the lack of response - speechless. I decided to take pity on him. "Back to the HR thing." "Yeah, so here you can pull up the list of job categories and positions with descriptions. They give you the salary range, qualifications, and stuff. Once you find the right one, if you drop it into the staffing model on your forecast, it will automatically include the midpoint of the pay grade. "Cool. That will also help me do the postings. Thanks, Drew." "If you have any other questions or need help, just call me. I'll be glad to help. I've um, sort of been assigned to you as your budget guy. Same if you have any questions on expenses or the reports." "Hmm. I'm very glad you were assigned to me. I'll have to figure out who to thank." "Thank you," Drew said blushing. "Sometimes, I don't really feel like I fit in here." "Give it time, Drew. You will." I watched him leave and felt pretty good. I could help him, but first thing was getting him out of his mother's basement. Maybe not fair, I didn't know that he lived in the basement. I went to work on what he'd shown me, figuring out how many lawyers I needed to hire and what skills I wanted. I got lost in my work and jumped when there was a firm knock at the door. "Come in," I called. Finally. She listened. "I don't bloody well need you to announce me. Back off, woman." A firm female voice said. Not Mrs. Cokesbury then. A striking woman strode in, turned and closed the door. She held up her hand - pointer finger extended - as she turned back to the door and looked at her watch. It gave me a minute to look. She could have been my sister. Same dark hair, olive skin, and strangely I had to admit. Hot. She pulled open the door, and Mrs. Cokesbury stumbled in. "What did I tell you the last time? I catch you eavesdropping on me one more time, and I will personally throw your ass on the street. Go get a cup of coffee, take your smoke break, whatever. But don't show your face in this office for the next thirty minutes. Got it?" "You can't talk to me that way! I've worked here thirty years! I have seniority," Mrs. Cokesbury blustered. "Try me." The look on the woman's face would have shriveled a man's balls. I was so glad it wasn't directed at me. She slammed the door and then turned to me with a smile. It was a real smile that reached her eyes. She walked toward me hand extended. All I could think was 'wow.' "David, so good to meet you in person. I'm Joanna Campbell, call me 'Jo.' I'm the COO - we spoke on the phone during your initial interviews." "Very pleased to meet you," I said, shaking her hand. She would have fit right in at my old law firm. From the patent leather pumps to the expensive gray wool suit and pearls. Her thick dark hair was pulled back in a loose clasp. A nice change to the severe ponytail I'd seen so many women use. There was no doubt she was a servant of Bacchus, I just wondered what else. She stood a moment and looked at me like I was on the auction block, her gaze going from head to toe - I swear stripping me naked. I waited to see if she'd ask to see my teeth. "Explains so much." "Pardon?" I asked looking for a clue from her dark, fiery eyes. "Damn. You are like a walking wet dream." "Excuse me?" That was not at all what I expected for a response, and I was a little unnerved at how my body was responding to her. I thought women were no longer on my menu, but I was in danger of embarrassing myself if I got any harder. Maybe she wasn't just human either. "Let's get the personal stuff out of the way and then we can talk business, deal?" "Um, sure. You're the boss." "Not of you. You answer directly to the big man. Hmm." Her eyes zeroed in on my crotch, and I tried to step behind the chair to hide what I thought she was staring at. "Honey, no way in hell you can hide that. My god, I thought he was exaggerating. Guess not." I wasn't sure if she was expecting a response, but at the moment I had nothing. "So, you've already met the rest of my family. If you didn't know. Blaze is my son, Jed is my husband, and Ashley is my daughter." "Oh..." Crap... so... I'd had sex with both her husband and her son and Blaze was pretty much a regular and... shit, Ashley is Jon's... Jo laughed and gave me another smile. "You can breathe David, I didn't say you were in trouble." Shit, but your husband fucked me. No, can't say that. Does she even know? "I can see the wheels spinning, seriously relax. Blaze can't stop talking about you, Jed can't even speak when your name comes up, and Ashley goes all dreamy. I was curious what power you were wielding over my family. And it's so damned obvious but you don't even get it, do you?" "I'm sorry if I've done anything inappropriate. I swear-" "Stop. It's too much," she got out between laughs. "David, maybe we should sit down." Easier said than done. I had to "adjust" myself to manage the feat, but I could at least cross my legs and block her view. "So, personal. You wanted to talk to me?" I said sounding much calmer than I felt. "First, was just meeting you in person. I've been out of the country, or I'd have come by sooner. I am in no way upset about your relationship with Blaze or even Jed, for that matter. Can't say I blame either of them. They have good taste." "Um... thank you?" "Don't get me wrong, Jed is mine. He's an amazing husband and great lover, but I've known since I met him that he needs men in his life and his bed. If I thought you were a threat, things would be different, but Bacchus assures me you have your own life-partner." "Yeah, I do." Even thinking of Dean made me feel warm and loved. "So what you and Jed get up to is your business. Blaze... well, he is what he is. You'll probably be one of the more stable and good influences in his life, so I consider that a win. And if you're half as good in the sack as he says, I don't think there's a force on earth that could keep him away. And now Ashley." "I assure you-" "Of course you don't. But she is pretty taken with your son. I was surprised. No one has ever gotten her worked up like he has, and in such a short time. I gather he looks like you?" "Very much. No beard and not as much muscle but you're not going to miss that we're related." "Ashley said you could pass for twins." I shrugged. "Maybe?" "At least she's got good taste. Our grandchildren will be adorable." Thinking of Ashley and how stunning Jo was, I had to agree. "Yeah, we're doomed. Probably have us wrapped around their little fingers." "I'd like to get to know your son. Bacchus thinks very highly of him, so I take that as a very good sign. How does he feel about Ashley?" "Confused for starters. He'd just decided he was gay and then she showed up. Guess he's more like his old man than he thought. He'd already decided she was going to be his best friend. He said she was really easy to talk to and was good at getting him calmed down. I guess they share some interests and just enjoy being together. I know they've met up a number of times, even if they haven't actually had an official date." "Like his old man. So you're bi?" "Yeah, though lately I'd have said I'd found more men that caught my attention." She gave a pointed look at my lap. "Maybe I won't be as left out as I thought," Jo said. "I can tell you're a 'servant' for Bacchus. Are you something... else?" The smile turned evil. "Sorry, just human. Can't blame your reaction on anything 'supernatural' if that was what you were hoping." Well shit. "Nice to know I still got something going for me. You know it's tough being surrounded by satyrs, nymphs, and now love gods. Makes me a little self-conscious." Might as well just bite the bullet. "Jo, you are stunning, and I apologize if my body's reaction gave offense. I think that certain parts of me now have a mind of their own and I will confess I'm still adjusting to all the changes." "Thank you. I appreciate your honesty. It bodes well for things working out. Bacchus has decided that Ashley and Jon will be together, so I want to make the best of it. I want this to work, David. I want them to be happy and in this fucked up world, that's going to take even more effort. I've lived it my whole life, and while I wouldn't wish being 'ordinary' on anyone, I'll be the first to admit our lifestyle here in Bacchus Springs presents some unique challenges." "Tell me. Does it get any easier? How do husbands and wives not freak out with everyone having sex with everyone else? My neighbor offered to have sex with me and offered up her husband! It was the first time we'd even met." "Oh, so you met Candy? Yes, it gets easier, or at least you get to the point of knowing and understanding what's 'normal.' If there even is such a thing. Ashley has grown up with the culture, so that helps. She already knows what to expect and has seen how Jed and I manage." "I want them to be happy, and Ashley seems like a sweet girl, though I've barely met her. It's clear where she gets her stunning looks." "Are you sweet talking me, David?" "No. I mean... I didn't..." "Oh, it's fine. I'm flattered. Would you and Jon be up to having dinner with us?" "Sure." "I'll talk to Jed and Ashley and set something up. Personally, having met you, I'm feeling much better about this." "I'm glad. But what were you expecting?" "What anyone is likely to expect when they look at you. Pride. Arrogance. Conceit. And a whole lot of narcissism. Not that you've shown any of that. I can't say I understand, but I'll take it as a good thing. No wonder Bacchus is so taken with you and your son." "Thank you again." "Now, down to business. Has anyone explained other duties as assigned?" Jo asked. "No..." I responded wondering what kind of shoe was about to be dropped. "Depending on your skills and interests it varies. Obviously, with your legal background, Bacchus is going to have you involved in making sure legal services are provided and/or available to our people. I think you've already started on some of that?" "Yes. I'm doing some 'pro-bono' work, and we're going to hire some other attorneys who have specific experience in family law and criminal law. My expertise is mainly corporate, contracts, agreements, and some intellectual property." "Exactly. As inner circle, we're also each involved in community work and charities. You'll be assigned some specific areas to get involved, probably take on some board memberships, etc. One of the boards you'll be joining is a regional business board that is helping the towns and communities to work together to further growth and development. While Bacchus Springs is growing faster than we can handle, some of the surrounding towns are dying. They're losing businesses and residents almost daily." "Wow, hard to believe with what I've seen here." "You'll be part of the solution. So you will know intimately what's working and what isn't. I'm also going to pull you into our charitable contributions group. We decide where the money goes and who gets help. It requires meeting with community, political, and religious leaders. Any problem with that?" "None that I can think of," I said while I was beginning to wonder when I'd get any real work done. "And another area is business mentoring," Jo went on with barely a pause. "Each of us is involved in one or more local businesses. Behind the scenes, they're owned by Bacchus Industries or Olympus Holdings, but we act as the front. We don't run the business but do make sure it's staffed and show face." "So what business do you oversee?" I asked not even able to imagine what would fit. "I've got the winery and distributors." "And what are you thinking for me?" Somewhat afraid to even ask. "A full-service bar and restaurant, with a back room strip joint and sex club." "Say what?" She gave me that evil smile again. "Oh, you heard me, David. We'll start you off there then add some other restaurants as we grow. But really, what better place for someone who needs to feed off lust? It was Bacchus's idea." "And when do I do my real job?" "Don't worry, you'll make it work. We all do. Besides think how helpful it will be for you and Jon to have a steady stream of people coming in, drunk and ready to party? A ready-made smorgasbord. You'll get to feed as much as you need and most of them won't even remember. Not to mention if you find any good ones, you can bring them into the fold. A win-win." "I... um..." "Well, I'll let you get back to things and drop you a text when we figure out a date for dinner." Jo stood and headed for the door. "Before you go, can you give me tips for dealing with her?" I asked pointing to the door. "How did you get stuck with that one? Did you ask for her?" Jo asked. "Hell, no. She was here when I started. I thought I inherited her." "Hmph. Talk to Bacchus. You really need to get rid of that shrew." Duh, I knew that part. Now the question was how. And really, sex club? Me? That did not sound like a good fit at all! >> END CHAPTER NINE << Please donate to Nifty!
