Disclaimer: Warning: this story contains sexual content, contact between young boys, and other themes that may offend. If the subject matter offends you, is not to your tastes, or if you are under legal age for your area, then find something else to read. In the following story all names and events are completely fictional. Although I may mention a specific location, place, or person any resemblance to said people, location, or places is completely unintentional. Chapter 23: Things start to become clearer as to why the seating arrangement is the way it is, as mum and Manuel's dad take the seats on the side closest to the wall. François ends up at the head of the table, and Sarah, Pierre and I take the seats on the other side of the table to mum. Callum and Manuel have to squeeze together at the other end of the table, but given their small size they do so comfortably. The waitress, who I hadn't even noticed had disappeared in the first place, returns with a bottle of champagne and starts to pour some into the glasses which are already set up on the table. Everyone is talking amongst themselves while the waitress does her thing, but due to the acoustic properties of the room no-one seems to talk much louder than a whisper. Once the waitress has finished pouring everyone a glass of champagne, she disappears again. I assume she has gone to get some menus, since there are none on the table. Well, I suppose it could be a set menu restaurant in which case there won't be a menu, but I have a feeling it isn't that type of place. I could be totally wrong though, and the longer the waitress takes the more it is looking like I am wrong about it. My thoughts are suddenly interrupted when I hear someone tapping on their champagne glass. ************ "Sarah, Josh, Callum and Manuel, I have something I want to ask you. Um... sorry Pierre, I should ask you as well, but this is something I want all of you to agree on," Manuel's dad says, which takes me by surprise because I had thought the whole thing would have been mum's idea. "Yeah sure, what do you want to know?" Sarah asks on behalf of all of us. The rest of us nod our heads in agreement, because she has beaten us to say something and there is no real point in adding anything extra. "I would like to ask you to allow your mum and me to get married, because we both love each other very much, but we don't want to do anything which will upset any of you," he says, while everyone instinctively turns their attention to Sarah and me. I have no idea why anyone would expect me to object, but then again me and mum haven't had the best of relationships and this would be the most opportune time to get my own back on her, but I don't feel like doing anything like that. It is not in my nature any more to do something so horrible, and I have forgiven mum for all her wrongdoings, so it is all in the past now and I'm looking to the future. "Yay!!! We are going to be brothers!" Callum and Manuel say to each other at almost the same time, before they both hug each other. I don't think anyone had any doubts about their reaction, which is as I expected. "Go for it, I'm thrilled for you!" I say enthusiastically, because I want to see them together, and the best part is I will have a dad again who loves and cherishes me, because I have missed that so much. "Congratulations, I am happy for you both and I want to see the two families unite, because it is in the best interests of all of us!" Sarah says, which takes everyone a little by surprise, because we had expected there to be a little negativity about the proposal. Pierre strangely, has been the quiet one, because I would have expected him to be excited about the idea. He is almost the opposite; he is a bit withdrawn and unsure about everything. Well, not so much unsure about everything, he doesn't feel like he has a say in the matter, because it is not his mum or his dad who is involved. Now that I am concentrating back on him, I can sense how he is feeling, and it is a little hard on me, because I know he is feeling a little left out, due to not being a proper part of the family. "Pierre, you are as much a part of the family as I am, or even Callum, or Sarah or even Manuel. You are part of us now so you have equal say in anything," I say, but it doesn't make any difference because he expected that response from me and knew I would say anything to ease his concerns, so doesn't take any notice of what I say. "Pierre, Josh is right! I wouldn't have adopted you otherwise. You are as much a part of the family as everyone else, so if you have something on your mind we want to hear it," mum tells him. This time he takes notice, not so much because it was mum who said it, but because everyone else reinforces what mum has told him. "I don't have a problem, it was more I didn't feel that I had any say, but now that I know I do, I am really happy for you both because you are so good together," Pierre says, once he knows that his opinion does count. He then gets out of his seat and goes to give mum a big hug to thank her for taking him into consideration. Mum and Manuel's dad are happy with the overwhelming response in favour of them getting married, even though at the same time they are a little surprised, because they had expected at least one of us to not be happy with it. Their main concerns were with Sarah and me, but we are both thrilled with their decision. "Thank you so much, all of you. I am both humbled and grateful with the way you all have responded so positively about the proposal," Manuel's dad says with a huge amount of relief and joy. "We have one other major thing to do first, before we start planning for the wedding. So once we have finished dinner I want you to all get your bags packed again and be ready to go at six thirty," mum says, which confuses all of us, because we have no idea what else they would have to do before they can start to plan the wedding, let alone have any idea why we have to move on again, and so soon. "Aww, do we have to go again, cos I like it here," Callum moans, because he is getting to the stage where he wants to stay in one place for a while. "Yes Callum, we do have to go because I feel this is important!" mum replies. "Where do we have to go this time?" Callum whinges back. "We are going to Marseille, but don't worry it will only be for the day and then we will be coming back here. I have extended our stay with the hotel, so you will still get a few days to enjoy it here," mum says, directing it to all of us, because she knows how much we all need a proper rest. "Are we going to try and find my mum?" Manuel asks nervously, after he remembers the connection between his mum and Marseille. "No Manuel, not your mother. We are going to see some of your true family though," mum replies. "Who, dad's mum and dad?" Manuel asks, even more nervously, because he doesn't want to see them after how horrible they have been to his dad. "Yes Manuel, we, well I should say that I feel it is important to pay them a visit and see if we can get things ironed out. You deserve to know your grandparents, because you had no choice about what the situation surrounding your birth was, so I don't think it is fair the way they are treating you and your father," mum replies. She believes that she can make Manuel's grandparents see sense, but I don't think anyone else is quite so optimistic. "But what about mum, are we not going to look for her too?" Manuel asks, still nervous as hell. He would prefer to find his mum, than front up to his grandparents. "No, I'm sorry son, but we thought that it would be better for all involved, your mum included, if we didn't find her. I'm not sure how she will react to know I'm getting married, let alone the risk she could pose to you," Manuel's dad says, bailing mum out at the same time, because he figures that this issue is between him and his son. "What are you saying... that she might hurt me, or something bad?" Manuel asks with an element of disbelief in his voice. "The drugs your mum is taking can make her very unpredictable and dangerous at times. I would never have ditched her if there was never any threat to your safety, but there was and potentially still is," he explains, knowing that Manuel doesn't understand the effect of the drugs his mum has been on for years. The boy looks scared now, because he has now started to worry about accidently bumping into his mum on the street. His dad leaves his seat and goes over to his son to comfort him. I can hear him telling Manuel that there is no way any of us will let anything happen to him, and not to worry because the chances of stumbling into her on the streets are very slim. It takes a little while to get him to relax again, but his dad is used to it. He does an awesome job with Manuel, which makes me that much happier about him becoming my dad as well. Once Manuel has calmed, his dad returns to his seat. With that out of the way, mum signals for the waitress to return with some menus. She come across quickly and is proficient in taking all our orders, before returning to the kitchen to deliver them to the chef. We all order something simple because we are on a semi-tight time schedule. Pierre and I without realising, order exactly the same meal of fish burgers and fries, but I don't pay any attention to what anyone else orders because it is none of my concern. The staff in the kitchen are very efficient in getting our meals cooked and served, but it is helped by us having come in before anyone else, so they are only cooking for us at this stage. We have our food within quarter of an hour after placing our orders, which is the quickest we have been served at any restaurant here in France. The food still looks superb, despite how quickly it was prepared and cooked. Once we have our meals in front of us, we all start to eat. We all take our time to enjoy the meal, because we have more time than we had expected due to the efficiency of the restaurant staff. When mum made the early booking, she allowed ample time to get everything done, because she hadn't expected such quick service, so she was almost expecting us to be in a huge rush to catch the train, but it doesn't look like it is going to turn out like that. The food is delicious, but not the best we have had in France. I'm not complaining because it is still far better than anything mum has ever cooked in her life. Pierre and me decide to feed each other, due to us both ordering the same thing, which gets disapproving looks from mum, until she decides that it might be fun to do with Manuel's dad. Her attempt to feed him ends up a disaster with her spilling food all down his front, which causes everyone to crack up laughing at his misfortune. I feed Pierre a lot more successfully, and Pierre does the same. It helps that we are only feeding each other our fries, because we had wisely decided that the burger was going to be too big and messy to feed the other. It is fun feeding him like this, so I have decided to do this as often as I can. It is strange because even though I know he doesn't need the help, it feels right. I also love having him feed me back, because despite how it may look, I don't feel helpless in the slightest, far from it in fact. It feels so loving and caring feeding the other food, which is why I enjoy doing it. The other reason I like it so much, is because I can display my affection towards my lover publicly, even with mum around. It proves how much she has changed in her attitude towards our love, which I am thrilled about, because at last I can feel totally comfortable being with Pierre when she is around. I'm still a little cautious about how far I will push things with her, even though I know I have slipped up a couple of times, and I do try not to kiss him in public. Kissing in public is something I want to be able to do freely, but aside from the time I kissed him while waiting for the elevator at the hotel that time, or the kiss in the corridor at another hotel, I'm not willing to kiss more publicly than that, yet. I'm not too worried about mum any more in that respect, but it is more other people's reaction to it that concerns me. I know being gay isn't a popular thing, but our age makes things even worse. I can't understand why, because is it that hard to believe that people our age can find true love? I am the last to finish eating my dinner, because I had become too lost in my musings to pay enough attention to what was going on. Pierre has a look on his face to tell me he knows what I was thinking about, which is confirmed when he puckers his lips and makes kissing gestures. I poke my tongue out at him, because it is the only rude gesture that I think is appropriate to use given the situation, before I return to eating the rest of my dinner so that I don't keep everyone waiting on me for too long. I finish my dinner quickly, and as soon as I have done that mum and Manuel's dad get out of their seats. Without thinking, everyone else follows their lead and we all proceed out of the restaurant and back to our rooms. I'm a little concerned while leaving, because I notice that mum hasn't paid for the dinners, but she tells us that the meals have been booked against our rooms, so she will pay for them when we leave. Once back upstairs, we all go into our rooms and get ourselves ready to go to Marseille. We have a little more time than anticipated to do this, due to Manuel's dad having to change clothes after mum had dropped some of her food all down him. It is only a little more time, because before we realise it he is changed, and both him and mum are ready and waiting. Pierre and I are next out, because our bags were pretty much packed after we cleaned up after ourselves this morning. Sarah isn't too far behind us, but François and the boys take forever. The boys have crashed again, due to how exhausted they had become after their play at the park, so François has had to help them more than he had hoped. It wasn't helped by the fact the boys still have no idea about tidiness, so their clothes are scattered all over the room, but François has slowly started to get through to them about that, so it isn't as bad as usual. Once they are ready and have emerged from the room, we all head back downstairs and towards the van. Mum drops out of the group when we go through the lobby, so that she can clear up the bill and ensure everything is ready for us upon our arrival again tomorrow sometime. The rest of us go straight out to the van and load up. Once mum is back she climbs into the passenger's seat, allowing Manuel's dad to drive us to the train station. We take pretty much the same route as we did when we came into the city, but instead of going over the bridge again we continue down beside the river. The traffic is relatively free flowing now so the journey doesn't take anywhere near as long as it did before. Manuel's dad's driving is smooth and steady, unlike that of mum's which tends to be erratic and she doesn't seem to be able to keep to the same speed either, so it is a lot of accelerating followed by her taking her foot off the gas to slow down again, before repeating the whole process. We take an off-ramp from the main road into a sprawled out assortment of parking lots. The parking area is huge, and each different lot is separated by a beautifully manicured grass lawn and nice trees, which also act as a wind break. Manuel's dad drives around until he finds a day parking lot and pulls in, collecting a ticket from the machine at the entrance. He finds a park and manoeuvres the van into it, before killing then engine and allowing all of us to pile out. We gather our bags before we get out of the van and back into the warm early evening air. The parking lot feels warmer than I had expected, because of the heat radiating up from the asphalt after it had been baking all day in the sun. Once we are all ready and organised, we start to make our way towards the station. I haven't had the slightest glimpse of the station itself yet, because it is hidden behind a line of trees at the end of the parking lot, so the closer we get to it the more the anticipation builds up in me. I'm expecting to see yet another glorious old building, but I get the biggest wakeup call of my life when we get our first look at the station, because it is modern. It is an immensely long structure that reminds me of a white cigar because of its shape. It has a curve along the entire length, and is narrowest at the ends which drop off sharply, and highest about the middle. About every fifty meters or so there is a high narrow window, deeply recessed into the building and above each window is a skylight to allow more natural light into the building. As we walk closer to the entrance, which has a massive patio area out front with lots of benches and tables mixed in with trees in pots and other plants, I get a better look at the building. From the distance it had looked like it was a series of huge panels going from the top to the bottom of the building, but on closer inspection I can see it is made up of lots of much smaller panels, which I suppose makes sense, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to create the curve so easily. I also notice that the windows are also smaller individual windows made to look like one big one, but the other thing I notice about them is that they curve as well to match the building. I'm not quite sure what to make of the architecture. It is obviously built to show the world that France isn't stuck in the past, and is also a modern country, but I'm not sure about this particular example. It is striking there is no doubt about it, but in some ways it is bland and over the top. The sheer size of the structure seems over the top to me, but I suppose it is a train station, so I had to expect it to be a long building, but I never thought it would be anything near the length of this one. Once we get through the entrance I get my first look at the interior of the building, which isn't quite what I had expected to see. The inside isn't the cigar shape that I had expected, because instead of the curve following its natural path, it ends at a point and the opposite wall mirrors it. It looks like a triangle, but with two of the sides curved instead of straight, similar in shape to an upturned ship's hull. The other noticeable thing is the building isn't straight along its length either, as it slowly curves away from where the parking lots are. The wall with the entrance we came through has a series of slats running the length of the building, with gaps in between. The large windows are also recessed from the inside, which surprises me, because it means the walls of the building are a lot thicker than it looks, but I guess I should have noticed that to some extent when I came through the entrance. Above each window is a set of lights, which point up towards the ceiling, but in general the wall looks far too busy. The opposite side is split into two levels, with the ground level being where the ticket booths and a variety of different stores are located. Most of the stores are small cafés, or other food outlets. The second floor which you get to via escalators or stairways which run parallel to the length of the building, seems to be the waiting area. There are huge windows looking out onto the train platforms and also help to allow natural lighting into the building, which must cut down on their power bill massively, because the lights are only just coming on now due to the sun slowly setting. There are lots of monitors and clocks located at regular intervals down the building, so you can keep an eye out for which trains are coming into the station, as well as knowing how long it is before the one you are after is due. I see that there is a train to Marseilles due in five minutes, so I'm hoping we can make it to get on that one. I am snapped back into reality when Pierre yanks my arm to indicate that we are moving on. I had been too busy focussing on the building and trying to decide whether I like it or loath it, to notice mum purchasing the tickets. In the end I still haven't made up my mind on the building, because I don't hate it, but I don't love it either; to me it is just another building but much grander in scale than most. I am pulled along at a great rate of knots as we try to get to our boarding gate in time, which thankfully isn't too far from where we are, but still a good walk when you have to hurriedly negotiate your way around lots of other people scattered around the place. We make it to the escalator heading up to the second floor closest to our gate and get on it. Upon reaching the second floor I see that I am right with what I thought. The floor is full of rows of couch-like seating and tables to accommodate the waiting passengers in comfort. The thing that catches me off guard a little is that we are now at track level, which means that the rail is elevated above the road level. I don't get too long to look around because we rush straight through the area and out the door onto the platform, just in time to see our train rolling into the station, creating a clamour as it does so. As soon as the train comes to a complete stop and the doors open with a hiss, we pile into the nearest carriage and take a seat. Almost as soon as the two youngsters take their seats they have fallen asleep. They are still worn out from their play earlier in the day, so are going to use this opportunity to get a bit of shut-eye. The seats are certainly comfortable to get a bit of sleep on, but I'm not feeling tired enough for it, so all I do is wrap my arm around Pierre who has the window seat, and sit back to enjoy the ride. I don't get a chance to take in much of the scenery as it flashes by, because I am too lost staring at my beautiful lover and getting lost in his wonderful hazel eyes. The thirty five minute trip to Marseille only seems to last a fraction of that, because I am too focused on my gorgeous French boyfriend to realise how much time has gone by. The first time either me or Pierre notice that we have reached our destination, is when mum taps on my shoulder to get my attention. It doesn't take long for me to catch on with what is happening, so I pull my arm from around Pierre and get out of the seat. Pierre isn't far behind me as we follow mum off the train. François has to wake the boys, so it takes him longer to get off the train, but he and the boys eventually catch up. We don't waste any time in taking in the station, because mum is in a rush. We march from the platform and right through the station and out the main entrance, without stopping. The only time we stop is once we find an empty taxi van, which is big enough to carry all of us. Once we have loaded our bags into the taxi and got in, Manuel's dad gives the driver the address of his parents. His voice shows how nervous he is, and I can tell he is having second thoughts about going through with this, but he gives the driver the address and off we go. Due to the unexpected visit to Marseille I have not had a chance to find out anything about the city through my travel guidebook. I don't even know where the train station is in relation to the city or anything. The taxi seems to randomly take any direction the driver wants, but I can tell that he isn't taking advantage of us, because Manuel's dad is keeping a close eye on him. I think the driver must attempt a sly one every now and then, because Manuel's dad quickly alters the route the driver was planning to take. Eventually we pull up outside an impressive looking stone wall, which has to be at least six feet high. The wall is split in the middle by an equally impressive iron gate. The driver pulls up outside the gate and Manuel's dad get out and heads over to a keypad with intercom unit, which is on one of the stone posts that the gate is hung to. He is nervous as he goes around the taxi to the keypad, and I can see he is crossing his fingers which confuses me, because I don't understand why he is doing that. He shields what he is doing, once he has reached the unit. I know he is punching in a pin to get the gates to open, because if he was using the intercom then he wouldn't have shielded what he was doing. After punching in the numbers, he stands back, listening carefully for the noise he is hoping to hear. It takes about five agonizing seconds before we all hear a loud click, followed by a whirring noise and see the gates slowly opening. Manuel's dad then gives a celebratory fist pump as it means his parents haven't changed the pin from the last time he lived there, and best of all was he remembered it. He then comes back around the taxi and gets back in his seat. Once he has closed his door and the gates have fully opened, the taxi driver starts to slowly creep down the driveway. The drive is made of beautiful cobblestones, but because of that it is a little bumpy driving on them as the path snakes its way towards the house. Flanking the drive are impressive and healthy looking palm trees, which are lit up from ground level by lights at their base pointing up towards the top. The lights are multipurpose because they also light up the side of the driveway making it safe and easy to navigate around the winding path down a hill towards the house. At the bottom of the drive is a gorgeous rectangular white stone house. The house is two storeys with the second storey having four windows side by side, set into the most elegantly designed arches I have ever seen in a house. The roof is a beautiful red coloured clay tiles type, but the roof angle is a lot shallower than I'm used to seeing. In fact if it had much less of an angle to it, then it would be flat. The drive circles around a fountain at the bottom, with a huge looking garage built off to the side of the house. The taxi driver pulls up right outside the front door, and we start to get out while mum settles the bill, before she too gets out and joins us. Both Manuel and his dad are very reluctant to get out of the van and as a result they are the last ones left in the taxi, but they both gradually drag themselves out and close their doors. I can see Manuel's dad taking a moment or two to prepare himself to face up to his parents for the first time in ages. He is looking so nervous that I'm half expecting him to puke up all over the place, but somehow he keeps control of that side of things. He finally decides to go through with it and grudgingly approaches the front door, then tentatively knocks on it. He starts off knocking so softly not even I can hear it, but gradually gets louder and louder until it is loud enough that it may be audible inside, before he stops. He then stands there nervously waiting, but more thinking of gapping it and running off up the driveway, but he stands firm. It seems to take an eternity before the wooden double doors to the house fly open and we are greeted by an immaculately dressed grey haired lady. "Well, well, well, look what the cat dragged in. In case you don't remember you are not welcome here," the lady snarls in a posh tone. She speaks in French but we all understand it well enough now to follow the conversation properly. She doesn't even look at any of us, as she tries her hardest to ignore the company her son has bought with him. "I made him come, because there are things that I think we need to talk about," mum says, after approaching the front door and standing beside Manuel's dad. I notice that after this the lady takes a look around all of us, but it is Manuel who I feel sorry for, because her face wrinkles up in anger and disgust at seeing him here. "What have we here, another tramp with her bastard children? Way to go son, you know how to pick them!" she says menacingly. Mum can't believe the way she has been so rudely greeted by the woman, and her mouth falls open in shock and disbelief. I can tell that the lady has rendered her useless already and I can't see how they are going to achieve the goal that they were hoping for when they decided to come here. "Look you fucking bitch, my mother is not a tramp because she was married when she had us, but things happen that a cow like you wouldn't understand," Sarah snaps at the lady in mum's defence, also in fluent French, which catches all of us, the lady included, by surprise. "Oh I see, so she is one of those people who can't stick to her commitments then!" the lady retorts, once she has regained her composure. "Mum didn't have a fucking chance you bitch, because dad did stuff which made it impossible for them to stay together," Sarah bites back, almost so hard that I'm surprised the lady didn't get her head bitten clean off. "You naïve insolent child, there is no reason a man and his wife should ever..." the lady counters. "How about the fact he beat the shit out of mum and Josh, my middle brother, as well as raping him too! Is that not a good enough reason, and the arsehole is dead now anyway you inconsiderate bitch!" Sarah yells, discourteously interrupting the lady in the process. I feel totally embarrassed and freaked out; knowing the most private event in my life has been yelled for the whole neighbourhood to hear. The lady looks as embarrassed as I feel, and her whole demeanour cracks while she tries to deal with this new and appalling information. She wants to feel sorry for us, but if she does that then she knows she has lost and that is something she can't handle. She is always right and never admits defeat, but this time it is dawning on her that she can't win this one. "What the hell is all the racket about out here... oh hello son. I didn't think I would ever see you again. Is that Manuel? Boy he has grown... Come here Manuel and give your grandpa a hug, and then we will all go inside and have a civilised conversation," Manuel's granddad says after hearing all the yelling from inside the house, so deciding to come out and see what is going on. The man has never had as much of a problem with what his son had done as his wife had, but she has always been the one to wear the pants, so what she says, goes. This situation he can tell she has already lost, so he lets his guard down and does what he has always wanted to do, and that is hug his grandson. Manuel is a little hesitant at first, but he senses that the man is no threat to him, so he openly runs up and hugs his new grandpa. It is good seeing Manuel with one grandparent who cares about him, and after the way the argument panned out, I sort of wonder whether we may also get his grandma to see sense and accept him as well as her son into the family. I'm not sure how well the lady is going to take their marriage proposal though, because I think it may be more than she can handle right now, but we will see. Manuel and his granddad release each other from their hug so that we can all go inside, but before we do that, the man wraps an arm around his son who is still shaking from nerves and adrenalin, and he wraps his other arm around his grandson and leads them both inside. The rest of us slowly follow, with Callum, Pierre and I deciding straight away to follow the man instead of staying outside with the lady any longer than we have to. Mum also makes a quick escape following us, leaving the lady to her own devices. The interior as I expected is grand and beautiful, but I don't take the time to appreciate it, because my head is in too much of a spin from the events of earlier. We are led into a huge and spacious lounge, which has ample seating for everyone, so we all take a seat. I find it hard sitting beside Pierre and not being able to hug him, despite how much I need to, but I don't know how Manuel's grandparents will react, well, mainly his grandma. François, Sarah and Manuel's grandma come in a little while after everyone else, but what intrigues me is she has her arm around my sister and they seem to be acting like long lost friends. François has taken up the rear to ensure that nothing happens to Sarah, because he has become very protective of her since we first met, almost like she is his own daughter. I can see that he is no longer concerned for her, but he too looks a little bemused with what has happened. "Well, well, well, it looks like you have gained Joan's respect from the way you stood up against her in defence of your family. You should be proud, because you are the first person who has ever stood up to her and managed to win an argument," Manuel's granddad says with a clear amount of respect to my sister, because she has achieved something that even he has never done. "Well, I had a lot of practice fighting with Josh, my brother, because despite everything he has been through he is rather stubborn and a lot harder to get to cry than you would expect. I suppose I owe my arguing skills to him in a lot of ways, but we will go into more detail about that later," Sarah replies, giving me a little wink at the same time to show me that she is proud of the way I used to be able to hold my own against her. "Anyway, take a seat and let's all get introduced, and then I want to know why the sudden intrusion," Manuel's grandpa says, not wanting to press too early on about the issues surrounding our family, because he can tell despite what has gone on in the past our family seems to be close knit now. "My name is Fabien, and my wife is Joan. Jean son, why don't you introduce us to everyone else, before we get to the true matter in hand," Manuel's grandpa says. "Ok dad, this is Margret and she is the reason we have come here this evening. Her kids, Sarah who you already know will defend her family to the hilt, but don't get me wrong, it hasn't always been like this. If we get time I may fill you in on what they have been through, but some of it has already been revealed. The older of the blonde haired boys is Josh..." "Oh so you're Josh! Let me say I am truly sorry for the way you have been treated, because no kid deserves anything like what you have been through," he says sympathetically, then comes over and gives me a big friendly hug, which I was not prepared for, but I enjoy it thoroughly. "It's ok, you don't need to feel sorry for me, because as strange as it sounds a lot of good has come from it," I reply while giving a hug back. He gives me a confused look because he can't understand how anything good could have come from being beaten and raped. "As I said dad, if I get time I will explain things properly, but to be honest I don't know how to tackle that one, because I don't want to see anyone else go through what mum and you put me through," Manuel's dad butts in, after realising how confused his dad has become about what I said. "I don't care how you take this, but me and Pierre are boyfriends, and the two of us never would have met if we hadn't been through what we have," I say, figuring it is better to come out now than later. I then wrap and arm around Pierre and give him a peck on the cheek. I now realise that no-one expected me to be quite so brazen about coming out to them, because the room goes eerily quiet. The man flushes bright red, because he had not expected that sort of response, and he had definitely not expected me to be so bold in the way I announced it. Strangely he doesn't seem to be too concerned about my announcement, but it still hasn't helped him one little bit in understanding why getting raped was a good thing for me. I'm not sure about Manuel's grandma and I don't even want to look over there to see what she thinks about it. "Well, let's move on shall we. As you already know the older of the brown haired boys is Pierre, who the family have adopted for various reasons, which I can't go into at the moment. Lastly the blonde haired boy beside your grandson is Callum. He and Manuel have become the best of friends and are soon to become brothers," Manuel's dad says, as he tries to take the emphasis away from Pierre's and my relationship, back to the real matter at hand. "Brothers, what do you mean by... oh... does that mean you and Margret are getting married?" Manuel's grandma asks, after being the first of them to pick up on the big clue her son had dropped. "Yes, that is why we came here, to tell you that we are getting married. If you can get over our differences from the past, then you are more than welcome to come to our wedding, which we are thinking of having over in their home country, New Zealand, when we travel there next," Manuel's dad explains. "You expect us to what...? Just forgive you and travel all the way..." Manuel's grandma starts to reply. "Congratulations son, I'm happy for you both, and despite what your mother says we will be thrilled to come to your wedding!" Manuel's granddad says, cutting off his wife in the process. "Thank you so much dad. Mum, is there any way you can get over what happened in the past, at least for Manuel's sake, because none of this has anything to do with him?" Manuel's dad asks. "Huh... um... for Manuel I think I'm going to have to, because you are right and I shouldn't hold it against him, but the two of us still have a lot to work out," Manuel's grandma says, reluctantly but meaningfully. "Right, I think it's time to get you boys to bed, because I might take you all out on the boat tomorrow, so that the rest of the adults can sort through some stuff. I really don't think you want to be here for that, and honestly I don't either," Manuel's grandpa says, giving us all a cheeky smile and a wink, which causes us all to giggle. "Yes. I think you are right Fabien in what you just said, and I don't have any problem with you taking them out on the boat. I'm the one with the issues to sort out so you should disappear and have fun with the young ones, because I know how much you have hated not being able to watch Manuel grow up because of me. First let's get some beds made up for them, also Pierre and Josh you will be sleeping in different beds..." Manuel's grandma says upon the realisation of how much she has inflicted on her husband, who never wanted to dissociate himself from his son and grandson. "Pardon me for interrupting, sorry, my name is François. Somehow I got forgotten about in the introductions, but I am also Pierre's uncle. I am going to object to you making Pierre and Josh sleep in separate beds, for their own health and wellbeing. This will all make sense later tonight, or tomorrow when we explain to you properly about those two, but for now trust me please," a slightly displaced François interrupts. He isn't mad about being forgotten about, but he is a bit surprised that none of us picked up on it; either way I'm happy he is again going to stick up for us. "Yes, François is right in saying not to separate them," Sarah says to reinforce François, because she is feeling a little ashamed of herself for not picking up on the way we forgot to introduce him, but she also knows the consequences of us being separated. "Ok, I will allow them to stay in the same bed tonight, but there damn well better be a good explanation for this, and I want to hear all about it once the boys are in bed," Manuel's grandma demands. Manuel's grandparents then get out of their seats, indicating to us to follow suit and lead us through the house to the guest bedrooms. Again I pay little attention to the place, because I am thinking too much about what has just gone on. I am thrilled that François and Sarah won the battle to allow Pierre and me to sleep in the same bed, because I don't miss having those nightmares one little bit, and I'm confident that Pierre doesn't miss his either. We are taken upstairs and into a large guest bedroom, which already has a queen sized bed and a single, made up in it. Seeing the two beds in the room makes me wonder about how Manuel's grandma was planning on making Pierre and I sleep in separate beds, but the answer comes pretty quickly when they pull a small trundle bed out from under the single, and I notice at the same time that there is another one under the queen. While Manuel's grandpa pulls the trundle out, the grandma goes and gets some bedding to put on it. I'm left a little confused when he also pulls out the trundle bed from under the queen, because I thought they had agreed to allow Pierre and I to sleep in the same bed, so I see no use for the extra bed. Callum and Manuel already have a bed each, so with me and Pierre taking up the queen then why do we need the extra one? I come to the realisation that François is probably going to be sleeping in the room with us, because it is the only logical answer I can come up with. Manuel's grandma returns, while grandpa is still pulling out the second trundle bed, with the bedding for the two beds and starts to dress the first one. She expertly has the bedding on the bed quickly, and then makes a start on the second one. This time she is helped by her husband to make the bed, and with his help the job is done even quicker, not that I would have believed that the bed could get made any faster, but they showed me up. "Right, now the beds are all made, so Manuel you get the single bed and Callum you have the trundle bed. Pierre and Josh, since I have had my arm twisted into allowing you to sleep in the same bed I will allow you to sleep on the queen, although the other trundle bed is a double which you both could easily fit on, I figure François won't need the extra bed space," Manuel's grandma tells us. I can tell she isn't comfortable with the idea of allowing us to sleep together, but she is trying her best not to make a scene about it, well, at least not until she knows the details. "First you are all going to need to go and collect your bags, put on your pyjamas and brush your teeth, then you can give your parents a kiss and cuddle, before going to bed," Manuel's grandpa says, before he and his wife leave the room to go back to the other adults. Once they have gone, we all head back downstairs and find our way back to the front door and go outside to where we left our bags. Pierre and I decide to take everyone else's bags in first before we get our own, so we put them all just inside the front door. Once we have our bags, we all go back upstairs to change; all the while I am hoping like hell that mum has packed some PJs for me and Pierre, because neither of us has worn any in ages. We rifle all through our bags in search of PJs, and sure enough they are there and right at the bottom. Both of us have made a huge mess in our search for pyjamas, because we threw out all the clothes while we were searching for them. So now there are clothes scattered all over the floor of the room, which we spend a good deal of time cleaning up. Maybe next time we will be a bit tidier while doing this, but that isn't too likely because neither of us seem to think when we are in a rush. The good thing is mum had packed both summer and winter pyjamas, because I was also worried that she may not have thought to pack summer ones, as our trip here was originally intended to be a lot shorter, so we weren't still supposed to be here during summer. I grab my light blue and white striped summer PJs and start to strip off, while Pierre picks out some plain lemon yellow ones and does the same. Manuel and Callum by this stage are both almost changed, with both of them pulling the pyjama shorts up their legs to cover themselves up properly. I am surprised to notice that Callum hasn't bothered to keep his undies on underneath his PJ shorts; it is another sign of how much he has changed. Manuel going undies-less doesn't surprise me in the slightest, but I think he should have found some pyjama bottoms with longer legs to them. "Manuel, I think you either need to put on some undies underneath, or find some shorts with longer legs, because... um... your long dickie is hanging out the bottom," I say as casually as I can, but he doesn't seem to care. All the boy does is shrugs his shoulders, then tries to tuck his long appendage into his shorts properly. He struggles for a while trying to get his dick to stay in his shorts, but fails each time, so I figure I had better help him because I know he isn't going to change what he is wearing. I go over to him, and tentatively reach down the front of his shorts, take hold of his long wiener, pull it up and clamp it in place with the elastic waistband. While I am doing this he puts up no resistance at all, because he trusts me that much he has no problems with me touching his private parts. "Now Manuel, you are going to have to try not to bounce around or anything, because I don't know how well the band is going to hold it in place. I know you don't want it to come loose and fall out your leg hole in front of your grandma, because we are all trying to make a good impression for her, so that she will accept you as part of the family," I tell him seriously, but in a friendly and reassuring voice, because I don't want to stress him out. "Yeah, I know you are right. I didn't think bout that, cos I haven't worn undies in so long that I'm used to it and never thought bout people being able to see it," he replies a little sheepishly. I don't need to say anything more to him, because I know he won't do anything silly and understands what we are all trying to achieve. He is excited about the prospect of his grandma finally coming to terms with things and accepting both him and his dad back into the family, because he wants to get to know his real family just as much as he wants to be a part of ours. Now that I have Manuel sorted, I start to get dressed myself. I don't want to because I am used to sleeping naked, but like Manuel I have to make some sacrifices while we are here. I know Pierre doesn't want me to put PJs on either, because he is still standing there naked ogling my body, and I have to say it is difficult not to admire his at the same time. If we were anywhere else then I probably would take my time to admire his sexy smooth body, but I'm a little worried about Manuel's grandma coming up to check on us. So I reluctantly start to pull on my pyjamas, starting with the bottoms, hoping it will snap Pierre back to reality so he will start to dress as well. I hear him sigh after I have pulled my shorts up high enough to cover my package, but he still hasn't started to dress himself yet. He waits until I have my top on and have most of the buttons done up on it, before he starts to put on his pyjamas. Unlike me he starts with his top, because he wants me to enjoy my favourite sight as long as possible, but to be honest I prefer to get lost in his eyes than ogle his package nowadays. I love his sleek beautiful hairless body, don't get me wrong, but it is his personality and soul which I love most of all, and they are best seen while staring into his sparkling hazel eyes. Pierre has noticed this more and more recently, but still wants to allow me to admire all of him as much as he can. He still has that childish inquisitiveness about him, since he is still as fascinated by my naked body, as much as he is by my eyes. I know he loves getting lost in my eyes too, but he gets just as much enjoyment through seeing me naked. I suppose it is another sign of how much I have aged because of everything I have been through. I take the time to admire his gorgeous body, but he makes it hard not to with the way he has to put on a little show for me, as well as Callum and Manuel who giggle at him. I find it hard to take my eyes off him, although I sort of wish he would hurry up and change so we can get into bed, where I can enjoy him more, but he isn't in a rush. He eventually finishes buttoning up his top and slips his shorts on, but he has to make sure that he wedgies himself so his prick hangs out the bottom, before readjusting them so that everything is fully hidden again. Now that he has finished with his show, we can go do the rest of the stuff we have to, which means we have to search our bags again for our toiletries, because we hadn't thought to pull them out at the same time as we got our PJs. Surprisingly Callum and Manuel are onto it and pulled theirs out whilst getting their nightwear, so they head out in search of the bathroom, while we dig through the contents of our bags again. We eventually find our toiletries bags, which happened to be right at the bottom. Good old Murphy's Law. Once we have pulled them out, we also set off in search of the bathroom, but Pierre notices before we leave the room, that there is a door off one of the side walls in the room, so we decide to see what's through the door, figuring it is likely to be an ensuite. It was a good thing Pierre noticed it too, because it is an ensuite so it makes searching the house for a bathroom needless. We both decide to empty our bladders before washing our hands and brushing our teeth, so we head side by side to the toilet, fishing our dicks out the fly hole in our PJ bottoms in the process. Once we reach the toilet, I lift the lid and toilet seat, and we both let rip. We don't muck around while taking our leak, because we are in someone's house so we don't want to make a mess. On top of that we have left the bathroom door wide open, so we don't want to arouse any unwanted attention by giggling like little kids through playing around with our pee. As it is Callum and Manuel stick their heads in the room once they have come back, to see what is in here. They both look a little nonplussed for not having noticed the room off to the side of the bedroom, but even more embarrassed because neither of them had thought to use the toilet, despite now feeling the need to go. Without thinking twice about it, the two boys stand on either side of Pierre and me, and fish out their dickies so that they can pee at the same time. It is a bit of a squeeze having all four of us boys trying to use the toilet at the same time, but we manage it through necessity more than anything, because it doesn't take Callum and Manuel long to both have their dicks in their fingers and are peeing along with us. I feel my pee starting to taper off, so in order to ensure I don't dribble on the floor I push my hips forward to ensure it all gets into the toilet. It is difficult due to the tight fit but I manage to do it without pushing anyone else out. The problems start to arise while I am shaking the remaining drops out, because Pierre's flow has also started to taper off as well as Callum's. They are both trying to thrust their hips towards the toilet to avoid any dribbles landing on the floor, but with me already there the room is very limited. I rush to shake off the remaining drops, so that I can squeeze my way back out and allow them to get closer, but that in itself is difficult. I manage to get out, and the other three finish peeing without incident. Manuel is the last one to finish by a long way and ensures he tucks his pecker into the waistband of his PJ bottoms like I had done for him. He has the least trouble out of the lot of us, but it is still amazing that all four of us managed to use the toilet at the same time without any puddle getting created on the floor. Well, it is surprising enough that none of us peed on the floor, because all four of us are bad for it, but I think a lot of males have bad aim when it comes down to it, so we are not alone in that respect. We all take turns washing our hands, before Callum and Manuel leave the bathroom to enable Pierre and me to brush our teeth. We make sure we do a thorough job, because I am half expecting one of Manuel's grandparents to check how well we have done it. It has been a long time since I have been told to brush my teeth, but the last time mum made sure to check them to make sure I did a good job, so I'm expecting it again now. Pierre and I put away our toiletries bag, before we all wander back downstairs to say goodnight to the adults. It seems strange having a regimented bedtime schedule again, because it has been so long since I have had one that it feels odd, almost like being treated like a little kid again, but I'm not concerned and I sort of like it for that reason. We arrive back at the lounge, and unsurprisingly all conversation stops dead once we get there, because the adults are talking about us, and for reasons unknown to us they don't want us to overhear them. I can pretty much guess what they are talking about, because there isn't too much that they won't want us to hear. I know they won't be discussing my rape, because the younger two already know about it, even if they don't know what it actually means. The other reason I know they won't be talking about it, is because it is the sort of thing that I don't expect them to go into any detail about, which would be the only thing that they wouldn't want Manuel and Callum to hear. My guess is they are talking about Pierre and what happened to his parents, mainly his dad because that is the part which he still can't remember. The looks on Manuel's grandparents' faces are a lot different to how they were before. They both have sympathetic looks mixed in with admiration, which makes me wonder how much they have been told already. When I think back to the day when we first met Manuel and his dad, I realise how much can be told in a short space of time, because Sarah had pretty much explained to Manuel's dad everything by the time I had finished giving the boy a shower. "I take it you boys are ready for bed, so why don't you go around everyone and say your goodnights then," Manuel's grandpa says, whilst making sure to make it clear that he wants us to go around everyone, including him and his wife, but mainly him. I'm not sure why he is so eager to have all of us say goodnight to him, because we aren't related. I expected him to look forward to getting to give his grandson a kiss and cuddle goodnight for the first time, but I never thought he would care too much about the rest of us. I shake the thought from my head, as we all go around in a circle, strangely starting with our sister and ending with Manuel's grandpa. I am last in the line, but I have to say it feels weird giving my sister a kiss and cuddle goodnight, but only because the last time we did this my sister was part of the line. I have no hesitation in kissing her, because I owe her so much and love her to bits for everything she has done for Pierre and me, but the routine of it feels strange and I don't think I would ever get used to it, because she is my sister so I don't see her as an adult, just as my sister. Next in line is François, who I give a big kiss and cuddle. It feels more natural doing this with him than it did with my sister, because I see him as an uncle, well, more an adult relation. Then come mum and Manuel's dad; it feels so good to give them both a kiss and cuddle, because I feel like I have proper parents again, who love me to death. They show it in the way they give each of us a kiss and cuddle back, which makes all of us feel much happier. Next is the one I'm not sure what to expect from, Manuel's grandma. She is a little hesitant hugging Callum and Manuel, her grandson, which doesn't bode well for Pierre and I. I don't think she has fully accepted Manuel as her grandson yet, but I can tell she is trying her hardest to, and Callum at this stage means nothing to her, except as a potential grandchild, but due to him and me not being blood I don't think we will ever truly be accepted by her. I get a huge surprise though when it is Pierre's turn and the lady pulls him into her and gives him a huge kiss and cuddle, almost like she feels for him and wants to protect him for the rest of her life. I was not prepared for that, but I am glad to see it because it shows that she does have a heart. I also start to think that Callum's story hasn't been told to her yet, which is why she never treated him the same. I feel sorry for Manuel upon thinking about that, because it means she is treating us better than her own blood grandson, but hopefully everyone can change her perception of Manuel and make her love him as much as he deserves to be. The huge long hug Pierre is getting helps to keep the line in some sort of order, because if she hadn't then we would all likely be lined up waiting on Manuel's grandpa, who is still hugging his grandson. Before he finally lets him go, I see him whisper something into the boy's ear, which gets my curiosity up. Maybe I am nosey, I don't know, but seeing Manuel have something whispered to him makes me want to know what he has been told, and my curiosity eats away at me even further when I notice Callum go through the same routine. Manuel's grandma finally releases Pierre from her hug, so that he can wait for Manuel's grandpa to finish with Callum. It also means it is time for me to see what sort of response I get from the lady, which I'm unsure about. I approach her a little cautiously, which really isn't warranted because I get the same treatment that Pierre did. I feel a little guilty getting such a loving and sympathetic hug from her, because I feel she should be showing her own grandson the same respect. Like with Pierre, her hug last ages, and by the time she has released me Pierre is now in Manuel's grandpa's embrace. My curiosity has started again, as I wait there and wonder if Pierre will also get a private message whispered to him from the man. It takes a while to find out because the man gives him a long hug while also stroking his back tenderly. I can't believe how quickly the man has accepted us all as part of the family, especially after the introduction we got when we first turned up. The man does give Pierre his own little message, but unlike with Manuel and Callum, I can see him being a lot more cautious about what he is saying, almost like he is trying not to bring something up. I quickly realise that they have already been told about the yachting incident which took the life of his father, and that is what he trying to avoid mentioning. Other than that I have no idea what is being said, but the man is genuine and caring with what he is saying. Once he has finished telling Pierre whatever it is he is saying, he releases him, meaning it is my turn. The man looks so welcoming that I almost jump straight into his arms, because I am so eager to feel his love. I have never had a chance to get to know my own grandfathers at all, due to my grandmother from dad's, side who has always hated us kids, so she made sure we never saw them. Mum's side of the family I have never had a chance to meet because they had died before I was born, so this is a new experience for me even though he isn't a true grandparent to me. He is such a loving and caring person, and it feels so good to be in his arms. I hope he can feel how much I appreciate the love he is showing me as well, because I can't believe how accepting he has been to our family, and desperately want to show how grateful I am for it. I think he knows it, because for some strange reason I can sense how he is feeling too, almost like I have known him forever. It doesn't seem like we have been hugging for long, when I get my kiss signalling that our hug has nearly come to an end. "You are a very special boy. I haven't heard too much of your story yet, but what I have heard about you shows how wonderful you are, and I can tell this by how much the other boys look up to you. Yes, it is that obvious, they really do idolise you, and I can tell how special Pierre is to you. I am happy for you, and look forward to hearing more about what you have done," he whispers, making me gush with pride and gratification, knowing he thinks so much of me and yet he has hardly met me. He then releases me which I feel disappointed about, because I loved being in a hug with the man, but realise that he has spent equal time with all of us so I don't dwell on it too much. I let him go, and we all say one final goodnight, before heading upstairs to bed. Once upstairs and in the safety of our bedroom, the first thing Manuel does is release the grip the elastic waistband has on his prick, so that it can hang freely again. We all try not to giggle at him when we hear him sigh in relief and satisfaction after he does this, because it had been very uncomfortable for him having it secured like that. Now that he is comfortable again he climbs into bed, hoping that Callum will join him like usual, but Callum has more sense than that and realises that he had better sleep in his own bed tonight. He doesn't want to that is clear, but he also doesn't want to get into any trouble with Manuel's grandma. Manuel realises this, but is equally disappointed not having his best friend in his bed with him, although he also realises that he is going to have to get used to it, because once we are all living together he will have his own bed again. Pierre and I crawl under the lightweight summer sheets on the queen sized bed and snuggle into each other. It feels so odd and wrong having clothes on while in bed, because aside from the stay in hospital we haven't worn sleepwear in ages. We know we will have to put up with it for tonight, but hopefully everything will be back to normal by tomorrow night. I give Pierre a tender loving kiss on the lips, before I cuddle up to him as close as possible and we both drift off to sleep. My sleep starts like normal, just a lovely pleasant dream about Pierre, but the longer I sleep the hotter the dream seems to get. The odd thing is the hotter the dream becomes the more pleasurable it becomes as well. It is starting to get so fiery and pleasurable that I almost feel like I'm going to explode. The intense sensations seem to stem from my crotch, which feels like it is on the verge of a major eruption. "Wake up Josh, wake up, you're about to have a wet dream," Pierre says softly, while shaking me as hard as he can. I had inadvertently woken him up by the way I was humping him in my sleep, but he at least had the presence of mind to wake me before I came, instead of trying to do something about it. What is impressive is he thought this logically despite being half asleep still. It doesn't take me long to awaken, but I can still feel my impending orgasm threatening to erupt. The fabric of my PJs is holding me right on the edge, but the longer I stay still the more it settles. Pierre notices that I have settled down enough that he can do something about preventing me from cumming when I fall asleep again. The biggest indication that I have settled down is that fact that my breathing has calmed down, but is laboured enough to let him know that I'm still not far off. Now that I am far enough off my climax for him to touch me, he pulls the covers down, scoots down the bed so he has easy access to my crotch, and then tenderly fishes my rock hard pecker from my pyjama bottoms. I am still half asleep so can't stop him from doing anything because my reactions are far too slow, but what surprises me is how quickly and loudly I gasp when he takes hold of my prick as I had expected that to be a delayed reaction too. I gasp loudly again when Pierre gives my throbbing member a couple of tugs and rubs my sensitive knob to try and bring me close to my climax as quickly as possible. He doesn't want to spend too long taking care of my problem, because he has no idea what time it is, or whether any of the adults will come in to check on us, which would be the worst thing. We don't even want to think about the possible result if Manuel's grandma came in a caught Pierre playing with my rock hard dick, because we know it will be bad. I can feel my impending climax building up again, and Pierre knows this too, especially given the way I am writhing around and sweating profusely. My heart feels like it is trying to smash its way out of my chest and run away, because it is beating so hard and fast and is hampering my breathing. I know I'm not far from erupting my sticky watery cum all over the place, so I am glad when I feel my hard twitching pecker get encased in Pierre's warm moist mouth. In an effort to get me off as quickly as he can, Pierre's sucks and licks frantically on my sensitive glans, while he jacks me off at the same time by stroking the base of my rigid member. I have to say it works well, because I can feel my climax approaching rapidly as a result. I can already feel my body tensing, and my balls starting to contract, while they prepare to shoot their contents out into Pierre's mouth. Then without any more warning it hits. Pierre has the presence of mind to cover my mouth moments before I erupt, because he is well aware of how much noise I have the potential to make. The last thing I remember is trying to thrust my prick into his mouth as far as it will go, before it tenses as an explosion of sheer pleasure rips through my body causing me to quiver viciously in ecstasy. My prick swells up before it erupts, blasting the first couple of jets of my nectar down into Pierre's throat, before the rest of my smallish sample spews out and dribbles down the shaft of my dick and onto his eagerly awaiting tongue. Then almost as quickly as it happened, it calms down again and my body comes crashing back down onto the mattress and my hard twitching prick slips from Pierre's mouth. Instinctively I gasp and pant for air, trying to refill my lungs after having held my breath during my climax. My body is still quivering off and on from the pleasurable feelings which are still flowing through me from the intense orgasm I had. Although my body is enjoying the after effects of the orgasm, I am sound asleep so unable to enjoy them properly. I'm not sure how much longer Pierre was awake for, but I have a feeling he crashed not long after tidying me up again. The rest of the night we both get our usual blissful sleep, and don't awaken again until the morning. We both wake up at the same time relatively early the next morning, and by that I mean before anyone else, but the sun has already beaten us and is shining its warm orange glow in through the bedroom window. Even though our sleep was broken, due to my near accident, we are both feeling thoroughly refreshed and full of energy. For the moment we are willing to ignore our pent up energy and enjoying cuddling together in bed for a while longer. The first we hear of anyone else being awake, is when we both notice a rustling noise coming from the floor. The odd thing is that it sounds too close to our bed to be coming from Callum, so neither of us can figure it out until we see François's head appearing beside our bed. We had both totally forgotten about the second trundle bed having been made up; even though we both presumed it would be for François, neither of us clicked onto it until now. "Ahh, good morning you two, why am I not surprised to see you awake? Also, thank you for making sure you were quiet last night, because I'm not sure that Manuel's grandparents would have been happy to hear what you were up to, despite the fact I know you have to sort out some things in order to avoid an even more embarrassing situation," he says, giving us a friendly smile and a wink to make sure we know he is alright with it. We are both surprised as hell that he knew what we had been up to, mainly because neither of us knew he was in the room at the time. Hearing him tell us that has made me even more glad that Pierre had the presence of mind last night to cover my mouth, because I know that the intensity of my climax would have had me almost screaming if I had been able to. Knowing that he heard what we were up to doesn't bother either of us in the slightest, because he is fully aware of the problems I had been having, so knows the need for us to take care of it, especially seeing as we don't want to soil the sheets here. François then grabs his bag and disappears into the ensuite to shower and get changed, leaving Pierre and I alone to continue cuddling in privacy. Well, it will be until the other two awaken and then I think we will be in for it, because I can see them being so full of energy and excitement that they will want to start playing straight away. I am going to make sure I enjoy the peace and quiet until then and I know Pierre is thinking the same thing. François finishes up in the bathroom and heads downstairs, before either of the youngsters has started to stir. I had forgotten about how tired they had got yesterday after their play at the park, which they were unable to recuperate from due to the busy schedule we ended up having. We were all up quite late last night too, without even realising it, but by the time we got to bed it was close on eleven thirty, so that in itself would have the two tuckered out well and truly. With François gone I am half tempted to have a shower and head downstairs before the other two awaken, but I am enjoying the quiet time with Pierre as well. It is one of those decisions I hate having to make, because I know what I should do, but it is never what I want to do. In the end we decide to do the right thing, because at the end of the day we are still spending intimate time together, but we also reduce the risk of getting ambushed when the boys awaken. So we both get out of bed and grab some clothes, before heading into the ensuite bathroom. I am glad to see a set of shelving in the corner of the room with towels on it, because we had both forgotten to think about grabbing a towel before we came in, so at least we don't have to go off in search of some. We both pull a towel off the shelves and hang it up on the towel rack next to the shower, before I set the shower running. It doesn't take long to set the temperature, but Pierre is still quicker in stripping off. He is looking totally gorgeous standing there completely naked, with his short hair a real mess from just having got out of bed. It is good seeing his hair looking full and healthy again, with no visible indication of the brain surgery he had to be seen. I can see his hazel eyes twinkling in the light, and his reddish brown lips looking luscious and happy. He is a sight to behold no matter what he is wearing, but I'm one of the lucky few who have been able to enjoy his full beauty. Well, that would have been true if he used not to be a nudist, but that doesn't matter because I can enjoy him all to myself whenever I want now. "Hey, hey, hey, no fair, I should get to see you too, especially after helping you out last night," he says cheekily, snapping me back into reality. He is right and I know I don't need to tell him that. Instead I proceed to start stripping myself, as slowly and seductively as I can. I start off teasingly undoing the buttons on my top, before doing a little dance while I remove it. He is enjoying the show so much that his pecker has already risen to attention, despite me not even getting to the stage of removing my shorts yet. I decide to continue teasing him a bit longer, and put my left foot up on the toilet, and slowly run my hands along the length of my leg, ensuring to pull the leg of my shorts up just enough for him to get the slightest peek of my package. I can tell how much my little show is turning him on by the way his dick has started to twitch around, which has me wondering whether I could get him off by doing this. I opt against that idea knowing he now squirts, and the amount of time we could end up being in here might arouse some attention. I remove my leg from the toilet and start to slowly slide my shorts down. I pull them down to where the v is formed at the top of my public mound, before I slide them back up again. I tease him like this a couple of times, before I finally slide them down far enough for him to see the base of my dick. I then loiter there for a little bit, before slowly sliding them further down and exposing more and more of my package to him. My striptease is getting him really worked up and his rock hard prick is twitching around like crazy. His breathing has also become laboured, as I am slowly working him up to the point of climax, without doing much at all. Sweat has started to pour from his forehead and run like little rivers down his face, but he can't take his eyes away from the show I am putting on. I can't resist in drawing out my show a little bit longer, so I teasingly slide my shorts back up to my hips, before seductively pulling them down again. While I slowly expose my dick to him again, which I have to say I'm surprised is still flaccid, Pierre seems to get to the point of bursting. He is so close that I'm surprised he hasn't just reached down and finished himself off, but in the end there is no need to, because the tip of my pecker suddenly bursts free from the confines of the shorts, and it all becomes too much. Pierre gasps, as his body suddenly shakes violently, before his prick swells up and blasts out of glob of his nectar which arcs high in the air before coming back down and landing a foot in front of where I am standing. He reacts pretty quickly in covering his prick in order to catch the remaining cum which spews out of it, but the contact makes things worse initially, as I see his body quiver again from the contact, causing him to spew out a little bit more of his cum. It is the strangest thing to watch because I haven't seen it before, although I know Pierre has seen me have a hands free orgasm. I never expected it to happen, well not without a little bit of contact. I can't believe I accomplished giving him a hands free orgasm just from a striptease, but I am glad I did, because I like to give him pleasure and I know he would never have let me touch him since we are at Manuel's grandparent's house. The good thing about making him climax without touching him is it doesn't seem to be as intense as it would have been, so he isn't too drained of energy as a result of it. He is a little unsteady on his feet, but at least he is still standing. Once he has recovered enough to notice this, he does the wise thing and gets straight into the shower, so that he can wash up all the cum he has caught in his hands. Now that he is in the shower, I figure I had better finish stripping off and clean up after him as well. I grab a face cloth off the shelf and take it over to the shower and wet it, before cleaning up the cum which has ended up on the floor, then rinse it off again and hop in with him. We take a quick shower, because we realise we wasted a lot of time due to my little striptease, but we clean ourselves thoroughly. It is strange not having an able-bodied Pierre scrub me clean, but we again play it safe in case of an unexpected intrusion, and clean ourselves. I think Pierre is happy with this arrangement, because despite not having had a climax from physical contact, for some reason his glans is as sensitive as it would have been if he did. We finish up in the shower in a short time and Pierre gets out first. I shut off the shower, then I join him and we both dry off, and start to get dressed. We have both gone for more formal clothing today, having felt like we were underdressed while we have been here. We have both opted for plain black knee length shorts, while I have gone for a white collared dress shirt which has blue stripes running down it. Pierre has gone for a smart looking dark blue polo shirt. He looks smart with the way he is dressed, and I think we both look more like we should given we are in the house of rich people. Happy with how we look and are dressed; we leave the bathroom so that we can put on some shoes and socks. I'm a little surprised upon entering the bedroom to notice the absence of Callum and Manuel, but we get our answer pretty quickly where they have gone. "It's about time you two finished in the shower, hurry up and grab a towel and meet us downstairs. We have a boat ride to go on remember!" Manuel's grandpa says enthusiastically. The surprising thing is that he doesn't seem to care about the length of our shower in the slightest, but I'm not going to complain just as long as he doesn't know what we were up to. ************ Comments are always welcome at (pennywise3636@gmail.com).
