Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 17:55:43 +0000 From: Al Peres Subject: True Love Chapter 2 PART 2 ====== CHAPTER 9 ---------------- We were at the entrance guarding them and started playing with the ball, enjoying our moments of being together, laughing, and joking as normal children of our age do. In a moment she jumped to catch the ball, she stepped on a hole and fell down; her left knee hit against a little stone and made a tiny cut that started bleeding. I immediately went to her. "Have you hurt yourself? Please sit down against the fence." She obeyed. "It is nothing, only a tiny cut." "Please bend up your knee." She did as I instructed; her right leg flat on the grass and the left one lifted. I bent myself, I took her leg and licked and sucked her blood until nothing was left; I raised my head and I could not help to stare at her smooth thighs, even her panties; again I felt a stirring on my crotch and I blushed ashamed. Maria noticed my embarrassment, she smiled, took my chin and looking into my eyes she kissed me on each one and finally on the lips. "I love you, Joss, you are so good. I'm very happy to have..." "Please Maria, say it." "To have a boyfriend like you; do you like the word?" "Yes, a lot, my girlfriend. I would like to say it everywhere, to shout out: Maria is my girlfriend!" "You are mad, but God bless that kind of madness because I'm also mad about you." We grinned as Nick and Peter approached; Nick said: "We must prepare for dinner; sure they will call on us in a minute." Let us see what was also going on in the house. Mother Louise and John sat down; immediately Margaret jumped in her lap, Mom reprimanded her. "Please Margaret, stay on the carpet, you have your toys there." "Ok Mom, but I like Mother Louise." The woman smirked lovingly to the little girl as Dad said: "Let's have a drink." Each one can choose whatever they liked and started chatting about business. John was Dad's general foreman; and he trusted more on John's opinion than on anybody else, including graduated technicians. In one point, Mother Louise said: "Please David, stop speaking about business, this is a family dinner, not a business general meeting." All other three started laughing, and then Mom intervened: "As usual you are absolutely right Louise, business finished." Mother Louise than said: "We have a serious problem to tackle with; well, it won't be so serious if we know how to handle it." Everybody got silent after Mother Louise words; however, after one minute or so, John said: "What's it, Louise? Mom and Dad also looked a little bit puzzled. "It is Joss and Maria." "What's the matter with them?" Both men asked near at the same time. Mom seemed not so surprised, she continued: "Oh, men! Don't you have eyes on your faces? Or are they only for businesses?" "Well, they are children and good friends, I believe," Dad said. "They are more than that." "More than that? Can you explain yourself, Louise?" John asked. "John, as usual, history is being repeated, and probably it will continue meanwhile the human being is on the Earth." "Oh no, my God!" John said. Mom and Dad were impressed, I do not know how many things went thru their minds on those moments, and they did not know anything; so Dad, just worried, asked: "Please Louise, we are on tenterhooks, it seems there's something that you know, and we ignore, what is it?" "Sorry, it is not as grave as you might think. Joss and Maria have fallen in love." Then Dad and Mom sighed relieved themselves. "Ah, it is that! Many children fall in love each day and the next day they forget." Mother Louise continued: "In this case, I don't think it is that kind, and, please, David, don't say it isn't serious, it could be very serious if we don't know how to handle it; we had a sad experience and I wouldn't want my children to go thru it. Believe me, they are our children, and I know them better than you do. What you think it is only a childish event, it is not." She paused and continued:" Did you see them when we came in? Love makes people very clever; they complimented us and disappeared immediately. I would bet my right hand that in these moments they are with their hands entwined, kissing, hugging and contemplating each other and making promises for a future." Dad tried to argue, but Mother Louise continued. "Please David, let me finish. I'll show you details and then I'll tell you a story; upon that, we can discuss the pros and cons. Did you see that pretty dress she is wearing today? Well, she hated it. On Joss and Nick's birthday I had to fight and convince her that she was very pretty in it. "And she truly is," Mom added. Mother Louise continued: "She then said she would wear it only to please me, but never again in a feast or a visit. However, since that day it is her favourite dress." All three smiled as she continued. "I have gathered details and little pieces of information, during the past 4 weeks; did you notice that Joss wasn't here when you came from the office? Firstly, I thought he was hanging out with Nick, but Nick was most of the times here; I thought he might be with Alfred, he wasn't; then what else? I asked my sister Joan, she looks after them until I return from here, and she said that Maria was with her friend Elisa in the Park, it was true, but not to play, but to meet Joss. I didn't ask Joss because I love him too much and I didn't want him to lie, because I'm absolutely sure that he would do to protect his lady, he is a caballero, as Spaniards say." Then my Dad asked: "How did they arrange the meeting in the Park? They have not "officially" met since the birthday party." "That is the funniest thing of the story, and it demonstrates how clever people can be when love is between. They did by a courier." "By a courier?" Mom said astonished and grinning. "By a courier! You are joking; who might be a courier of an eleven y/o boy?" Dad asked. "They had that daily courier, and besides, free of charge: Me!" "You?" All three laughed. "Yes me; of course, without knowing that fact. John, do you remember Maria and Peter's interest in keeping our car clean?" John nodded, then she continued: "She or Peter cleaned every day the window screen, they said that it was for safety. In fact, they kept cleaned all glasses and also behind the rear bumper; that was the mailbox; every message was glued with chew gum, so when Joss returned from school, either himself or Nick will pick up the message and stick the answer. I knew it because I found small pieces of the gun still glued in there." Then Mom said: "So they also have accomplices to help them." "That's for sure, and probably Elisa, Alfred and I don't know who. Try to catch them, let's say kissing or hugging, you'll never get in time; they will always have an explanation, besides you'll never see them doing that unless they wanted, of course. With this, I reach the conclusion that we'll never stop them loving unless they stop it themselves." "That means that if we clearly oppose to that, it could become in something like "Romeo and Juliet." "That's absolutely right, and we don't want that in these two families, do we?" "We must take into consideration that we are speaking about a boy of 11 and girl of near 11, they are not matured yet, and the tale of Romeo referred to teenager people." "That's the worst." Mother Louise said; she continued: "They believe that they are doing nothing dirty, they only express their love to each other. They would be ashamed if someone says otherwise, they wouldn't understand why we prohibit it, being that the only thing they want is to be together, chat together, kiss and hug together; in short, love each other clean and beautiful as a boy of 11 and a girl of 10 can do." Then Mom said: "Louise, it seems that you have more experience in that field that we have." "Sure we do, and I don't want that for our children. I'll tell you the story, or better, we tell you the story; then you can argue." Mother Louise started. "John and I were of the same age as Joss and Maria are today; we lived in the upper village to the North in the valley, an agriculture life like all of the villages near this river. We knew each other since ever I can remember. There was a very small population, so everybody knew each other. The school wasn't as today is, girls were in a classroom with a female teacher, and boys in the other with a male one, normally, used to be a married couple. "The school was located at the end of the village, not far away from the river and pine forest where we like to go for playing. Boys played their own games different from girls, so as it is normal, we made a pack of close friends, we play, chatted joyfully as children do, and among girls always the question: "Which boy do you like best?" That one or that another one; I used not to make any comment on that, of course, I had my preferences as all had, but I didn't want to disclose it in spite the other's insisting. One day my best and close friend, Jennifer and I, were in the park, she then said: "Louise, I suppose you have your own like, as I do, but you never disclose it. As you well know my preferences are on Antonio, the red-haired boy, please don't tell anyone, you know the gossips that always go." "Thanks for your confidence, I cannot, but to pay you back, mine is on John." "That brown haired with freckles on his upper cheeks?" "Yes, that one. I like him very much but I wonder if he is interested in me or not." "I can explore it thru my brother James, he is one his best friends." "Oh no, please don't do that, Jennifer," I said, I think I blushed only to think about that, but words were said. I don't know why but after that, John and Antonio became best friends and started approaching us trying to play with us. As you may understand, that pleased us a lot, but in those times of misery and false Catholic dictatorship, sex separation was the rule. A boy that played with a girl was regarded as being a sin or with a homosexual tendency, as a queer who likes girls' games instead of boys'; all on contrary as the reality is. That was the beginning. Without any expressed word, we started meeting the four after school, or in the park, playing together. One day outside the school and not far from the river, some boys started teasing John and Antonio, especially a near 13 y/o boy bigger than they were; we detested him because he was very stupid and vain." "Hey boys, here you are the queers of the school." The other boys cheered him up laughing. John was red and answered him: "We aren't queers, we like girls, but we are not queers." The other continued: "You see, he recognizes he likes to be with girls. You are queers, anyway." Then John, full of rage answered him: "And you are a bloody bastard that no one knows who your father is." It was common gossip in the village that his mother had been caught in bed with someone, not his father; he was their only son. That was enough. John didn't wait for an answer; he launched himself against the elder boy with a strong blow that reached the right eye. The boy full of rage answered with other blow on John nose that started bleeding, and a second that failed. John took the opportunity and gave him another blow on the boy's stomach, he instinctively bent his body in pain, then John stroked him down the chin with both fits together; the boy balanced and finally fell down. John straddled him on the chest and continued beating and beating him until his nose was bleeding abundantly. The other boy fighting against Antonio, when he watched his eventual protector on the floor, he left the fight and ran away. Antonio then held John from the shoulders." "Please John, stop, stop; he has already received what he deserved." "I want to kill this bastard, he's a bloody bastard!" Antonio separated him and looked at me. I was whiter than the snow; then, John staring at the other boys, now in silence, said: "Anybody wants to maintain that we are queers? No one argued. The bleeding had stopped but his shirt was fully stained with blood, then I said in a breaking voice: "Let's go to the river in order John can clean himself." Antonio then said: "You better go home, Louise, you may complicate things more than they already are." I took John's hand. "Antonio, I don't mind about what people may think or say about this." Then I continued with a mumble that surprised me: "Because I love him." I never knew if that was heard by John or not, but I pressed his hand. We went to the river, John cleaned his beautiful, for me, face; we sat in the wood, and then John said to Antonio and Jennifer: "Thanks, Antonio for your support, now I want some privacy with Louise and I suppose you also want it." Both blushed, they sat on a trunk that overview the whole river, just in case someone wanted to sneak. We sat behind a thick tree with our hands entwined. "I love you with all my heart, Louise." "I love you too my brave man." Then I kissed him lightly on the lips. Both flushed, but he returned it with the purity that a child of 11 y/o can have. "Louise, do you realise the hell you are going into? Tomorrow, if not today, everybody will know about us, probably altered; it'll be a hell. Only of a thing, I'm sure about: no one will say again that I'm a queer." I smiled: "I don't mind any hell as far as you like me." We hugged and kissed again. That was a memorable and sad day. Now John, please continue:" "When we calmed down, returned home; if that could be called a home. Louise's mother knew already everything; she asked her to confirm what the people were saying. She didn't confirm or deny anything; she only said that she had not done any dirty thing as she might think; she had not committed any sin, but that she loved me. At that moment she was so brutally spanked and humiliated with all kind of bad epithets, that I cannot even mention; she could not leave his home for several days due to the injuries." At this point of explanation, Louise's tears were trickling down her face. John continued: "I hated all her family from that day because no one moved a finger to protect a 10 y/o girl." "My situation was almost the same. When I arrived home, my father was waiting for me. I explained what had happened. "It seems you have time for everything except for working; I'll show you what you deserve." He tied me up in the yard and with his leather belt started spanking me furiously, I cried loudly but nobody stopped him; even my own mother encouraged him to continue. When I was nearly exhausted and to pass out, I heard: "You are a bloody bastard spanking a boy like that." My elder brother, at the time 26 y/o, held my father hands, took the belt off from him and threw it away. My father tried to fight my brother but he was younger and stronger and stopped him; then my father furiously stared at him, saying: "You better leave this house or I'll kill you." My brother faced him and in very slow wording he answered: "I'll remain in this house until I get married, as usual, fortunately, that will happen soon. Meantime, if I find you punishing John as today, you may think that the one killed will be you, so you are warned. Now go to the tavern and get drunk; or better, go to see you hypocritical friend the priest and confess your sins, tomorrow is Sunday so you can get the Holy Communion." My father could not articulate a single word; he went out blaming the door. My brother untied me; took me in his arms and brought me into our shared room. He stared at my other two brothers, my mother, and my sister that was sobbing: "You all are also warned that no punishment will be done to John without me knowing which the cause is, from now on I'm his father; I'll punish him if necessary, you can be sure of that, but not for a childish stupid thing." Now, pointing out to my sister, he added. "Please bring something to heal these wounds, and you John, when you get better I want to speak to you seriously." He cured me, I was sobbing, not only because of the pain but mostly for the injustice. Then he addressed to my mother: "Mother, you should look after your children better than you do, and then the mother said: "My life has been hell since your father started to go to the tavern. You will never know how many times I was also spanked, so don't blame me." "Ok mother still is time to correct this situation in this home, you should have said that to me. I won't consent that the bastard of your husband punishes anybody in this house." From that day my mother and father were always in silence, my brother never talked again to my father, but I thought: "What about Louise and me?" To see each other we started to build a net of protection, secretly passing messages, as our children have done; meeting in the most unexpected places, such as in the old mill, and in Antonio sister's house. One day I needed urgently to speak to Louise and we met in the church confession box, I was inside instead of the priest. "I worshipped my elder brother; he was a very hard, tall, and strongman; I never watched him crying. When he came back that night, he entered our room, closed the door, took a chair and sat close to me; he then caressed my hair and said: "John, how do you feel?" "I fill as if I had been cruelly spanked." He laughed. "Now, tell me all about without omitting a single fact." I told him everything, and then I heard him mumbling "That bastard." When I finished I was silently sobbing, he noticed that and said: "You did very well to that bastard boy, I'm proud of my little brother, I know him and also his real father that is very much the same as he is; his official father is a good person. Stop sobbing, men with balls like yours don't cry." "I don't cry because of the pain, but the anger that I feel, I have not committed any fault except beating that boy older than me and because I like Louise." "Well little man, old people are like that, that's how they were taught, and we cannot change them, anyway. Now you must be very careful with your Louise, otherwise, she probably will suffer more the consequences than you; she doesn't have an older brother to protect her, so you must be her protector. Do you understand? If you really love her, you must demonstrate it preventing her of any hurt, that's your sacrifice, but be sure that, if she is as clever and unselfish as you are telling me, you'll be fully compensated." "Thanks, bro, I won't disappoint you, I... I..." I did not dare to speak, but I continue, "I love you, big brother." He hesitated for a moment then reached my hair again and kissed me on the forehead, a tear mixed with his kiss. At that moment, I wished to hug him, but I could not, besides he said goodnights, undressed and went under the covers to sleep. CHAPTER 10 ------------------ "My father and brothers formed a team to harvest the wheat, working on a job-by-job basis, so as much as you worked as much as you were paid; so all hands were necessary. We used to sleep in the very spot where we have finished the previous day. My task was to prepare meals in a hut for all five, bring water and once a week I returned to the village with a donkey that we had and collect supplies for a complete week. Antonio was doing the same task, so we did it together. I gave messages for Louise thru his sister and we met eagerly in a secret spot near the river. We risked a lot, but we needed to be together, to chat, to make projects, many projects." "Time was passing by, but without any serious spank. My elder brother married that year, and his house was our point or meeting; my sister in law was a very good woman and helped a lot to facilitate ours encounters and privacy; especially the following years until I was 16, then formally, I asked Louise's parents to openly admit our relationship. From that time we had hard and happy times until we married 15 years ago when she was 21 y/o and I was 22 y/o." "We hated that village and most of their people, so we didn't want to make any celebration, however, it was obliged to marry thru the church. The old priest had passed away the year before, and a new younger had been appointed too replaced him; he had new and different ideas. He was a good man, we explained our situation, and he understood. Before Louise was 21, we obtained birth certificates, so we did not need any consent. One early Sunday morning, accompanied by Antonio and Jennifer as witnesses and my older brother Manuel and his wife Rose, we got married. We thanked the priest, hugged our friends and then I hugged my brother in a tight embrace, my eyes welled, and his too. He then said. "Go away from this place and never return, only let us know your new address; we want to see you both from time to time, you are our family." We had already rented a two-room house in our village. Louise was working as a home assistant in the city and I, as bricklayer specialist in the building industry. We bought a plot outside the village facing the river, and with some friends' help, I personally built the first part of our home. A young unknown architect designed it, he is today here. I have returned to our old village only once, it took place five years ago when my brother Manuel passed away." All kept silence for a couple of minutes, and then Mom said: "You two have had very hard times, I understand your concerns and believe me, I understand them. We soon knew you were not a common couple and that demonstrates that we were not wrong. Anyway, now we need a solution, either if in the future they continued or not, we need to do our children happy, now that we can; later they'll have their own sorrows and disappointments, but not caused by us. Do you have any suggestions?" Then Mother Louise said: "Nora I'll speak with my heart. First, they are only children and it is too soon to take any measures." Mom was a little bit surprised since she did not know what the new argument from mother Louise was, she continued. "I love Joss with all my heart, however, you are a well to do family and..." Mom interrupted her. "Please Louise, stop that argument. We believe on persons as human beings, no matter whether they are black, white, or coming from any class. We are in the 20th century and a terrible war has been fought because some persons believed in those differences. Absolutely wrong! Not in my home. We believe in love and understanding, and based upon those principles I married David and we are raising our family." Then John argued: "Nora you are right, nevertheless, you must recognize that this is a reality outside our homes." "Yes, it is true; we have suffered this since the moment we married. You well know that our relationships with most of David's family aren't as good as it should be due to this; so we won't change now. As Louise said, it is too soon." Mon taking mother Louise's hands and looking into her eyes she continued: "Louise, believe me, nothing would make me happier than watching Joss and Maria raising a family together in the future." Dad tenderly hugged Mom supporting her. "Nora I love this family like mine, you know that. I would do nothing that might hurt any member of it; that was my main concern." "This item is closed forever: please leave time to set up things." "In that case", Mother Louise continued, "I would propose to leave them free to express their love within our homes without any restriction. They shouldn't fear that we would be mad at them if we find them kissing or caressing. I'm absolutely convinced that if we make them be responsible, they'll be more prepared when their hormones wake up and they need to restrict themselves as we did in the past." "My God!" My Dad said as he continued: "If my father knew this, he would kill me. However, my problem is that I have to recognize that Louise is absolutely right; it is the only way to make our children happy and responsible persons; and what is most important, not to have occasions or room for hate. There is too much hate in the world; they must know that we must teach them to prevent it." Then Mom said: "I do agree with you, let's speak to them all together after dinner; they have all worked hard and this will be their prize. I think this will be the best we can offer to them. Who will be the leader?" Then my Dad said: "No leader. Mothers always have a sixth sense, so you'll be the leaders, any objection John?" "No. Absolutely not. I must thank you for your understanding. Louise and I have a clear picture, we have lived a sad experience, but your world has been quite different and it must be a great effort from your side to admit it. Now let's call the children and have dinner." My Dad went out, Peter and Nick were near the annexe's gate playing soccer, he shouted: "Nick, Peter, please call Joss and Maria, they are sat down under the Holm oak tree, we start dinner in five minutes." Hearing Dad we looked at each other amazed: "How does he know? Well, adults also are clever. Let's go." I wrapped my arm around her waist until we reached the gate. Surprisingly Mother Louise had ordered the seats. On one side: Mom, Dad, Nick and Peter. Margaret was at the head near Mom. On the other side: Mother Louise, John, Maria, and myself. We had dinner. When it was over we helped to take everything to the kitchen and into the washing machine. We returned to the living room and sat down on the two couches in the same order we had in the dining room. Then the first surprise came: Dad started: "Louise, John; we have worked together a lot of time; our company have done a lot of good businesses with your ideas and assistance. Louise has been as a second mother for our children and that has no price." I observed that Mother Louise and John were fully surprised, I suppose that they were expecting something different, nevertheless, my Dad continued: "You deserved much more, but Nora and I thought that, since you didn't have a real honeymoon, now 15 years later, you enjoy it." John tried to say something but Dad said: "Please let me finish. Joss, on my desk there is a blue envelope, please bring it to me." I went to Dad's office and took the envelope, delivering it to him; I sat down again expecting the news; Dad continued: "Here you are a full two-weeks-paid trip to the Canary Islands and inside an extra check for miscellaneous expenses with our best congratulations on your Anniversary. We'll be very pleased if you accept it." They were so surprised they could not say anything when Dad gave the envelope to John. "David I, I don't know what to say." "You don't need to say anything, just to prepare the luggage and start your honeymoon." Then Mother Louise intervened: "But what's about our children? I have never separated from them and we don't want they are a burden for anybody " Then Mom spoke: "They aren't any burden; they have also worked very hard and been very honest to each other; therefore we have also something for them." We looked expectantly as she continued: "As you well know, Joss and Nick go every year to Germany to spend Sometime with my mother. This year we have decided to take some holidays; we'll also be a couple of weeks in Cologne, of course, Maria and Peter will come with us; that is if you authorise it; we have already reserved rooms in a little hotel close to my mother's house to stay in." When I heard that I hugged Maria without realising what I was doing, the same did Peter and Nick, then Peter said: "Please Dad, please Mom, says yes." Maria also insisted on Mother Louise. "Please Mom, please say yes." Then Mother Louise stared at John and said: "Thanks, Nora, I think we don't deserve so great wonderful news, but we'll take the chance, we cannot reject anything from persons that put their heart on it. We say yes. Now the third news that especially affects to Maria and Joss; from their answer will much depend on this expedition to Germany." Maria and I opened our mouth, I just quickly thought they had known our relationship and they were going to put a condition: that we renounced to it, otherwise the trip would not take place as planned. I think that Maria thought the same; she stared at me pleading not to concede that part, my eyes started welling with rage. I stood up and taking Maria's hand, and in a challenging attitude, I said. "Mother Louise, please, don't go any further. We now understand that you know we love each other and nobody will stop us on that; even with the hardest punishment, so don't try exchanging that trip for a renounce to our love, you are wasting your time. I'll stay here closed in this house if it is necessary, but you won't get that." I still wonder why no one stopped me; probably they were astounded, not expecting a so defiant son. Maria had already stood up and taken my hand as defenders on a law trial. Mother Louise stood up, wrapped us against her warm body, and kissed our heads; then she said: "Oh my God! It is not that Joss. It is not that! You mistook my words." Then I said almost sobbing: "But your words and the tone of them were clear." Then lowering my voice almost to a whisper I continued: "I adore her too much." Then she, separating us, added: "Joss, take it easy. In another time, and with different parents, this would have meant a terrible spank, so you have to thank that you have the most wonderful parents that you could have. So please, both of you sit down and I'll finish." We returned to the couch but our hands continued clenched, Mother Louise continued: "Exactly, Maria and Joss, we know about your relationship, about your cooperative partners and about your courier." Peter and Nick stared each other and we blushed, but that distended the situation to normal. She then continued: "All four approve your love and you both can express it without any restriction. As it is expected from a girl and a boy of your age, the only condition is that those manifestations are limited to the premises of our homes and within our families. Outside we expect you'll behave as good friends. Does this fit into your desires?" We did not answer, we threw ourselves into their arms after I rushed to Mom and Dad and I hugged kissed them like a mad. I could not articulate a word; my eyes blurred, but this time of happiness. When Maria finished, we wiped out our eyes. "I'm awfully sorry for my previous behaviour and please, Dad, Mom, Mother Louise and John, accept my apologies. I couldn't help myself; I couldn't afford losing this beautiful Imperial Engle." We were in the centre of both families, and then Maria said: "I also beg your forgiveness myself, in part, it was my stare to Joss what caused his outburst and arguments, but as he said, I couldn't risk losing this handsome Hawk." All laughed, but the adults did not fully understand the reference to those beautiful birds. In the middle we pecked on the lips, not passionately, that was for a more private time, we hugged and I wrapped her with my arms around her shoulder, she was radiant! Then Dad continued: "Still there is another item to discuss, it is the last one. Nick, in the upper right drawer of my desk, there is a large brown envelope, please bring it to me." When he had the envelope, continued: "John you have repeated me many times, when we talked about business, that the best investment is that made on education, I have fully agreed with you. Therefore, since Maria will be my daughter and I love Peter very much, in this envelope there are two applications for the school where my children are studying; they are sponsored by us, so you only need to sign with your consent, and the next autumn they'll become Joss and Nicks' classmates." Nick and Peter cheered: "Wonderful!! Great!! Cool!!" They hugged. "Peter, we'll be pals! Do you realise that? Joss, Albert, Maria you... That'll be a wonderful gang." Maria stared at me and near a whisper said: "Now I'll have you only for me, I don't want you hanging around with any other girl anymore." Then Dad said: "John, I think you'll be in a very difficult position if you try to reject this signature." John and Mother Louise signed the papers. Then Dad added: "Well, we have a week with a lot to do: "John your plane leaves next Saturday. On Monday I'll wait for you in my office in order our lawyer gets all necessary papers for Peter and Maria's passports as well as the authorization, to be signed by you and Louise for the trip to Germany with us." Then Mother Louise said: "I assume you ignored Maria and Joss relationship." "Yes; absolutely." "In that case, your decision about the school was taken just sometime ago." "Yes, you can bet you are right. In fact, we discussed that possibility some minutes after you left on the birthday's, but it isn't easy the admittance of a new boy or girl in this school. They have many applications from all over the nearby villages and especially from the city, from people with much influence, even from some member of the government. However, their first point to consider in the admittance is the candidate's school background; Maria and Peter have excellent ones." "How did they know that?" Mother Louise asked. "It is not difficult or illegal to get information from a public school about a student, let alone when it is requested from an institution with the prestige of our school, where the information is only accessed by the members of the admission committee; upon discussing it they do their recommendation. It is not the first time they admit a girl or boy proposed by a Public School. They have also scholarships in case their parents cannot afford to pay it. Please, Louise, you can be sure that you deserved it." With that, the item was closed. Peter and Nick asked whether Peter could stay overnight, but this time Mother Louise was not ready to be cheated, so she said no. I then suggested: "We have the swimming pool ready and it is a pity not to enjoy it since the village is still closed, if they cannot stay overnight, then they may come tomorrow; Dad could pick them up on returning from tennis, will you Dad?" "Why not? They can spend the day here; in the afternoon we can drop them there." "Ok, Ok," Mother Louise, said not very convinced. " "Around 11:00 will be Ok." Then I suggested: "Peter, Nick; let's see the moon, it is a lovely night." They accepted and all four went out to the garden. We had nothing to care about or to fear, we did not need to hide; it was a wonderful sensation, Maria and I hand in hand, from time to time we stopped and kissed, but love kisses, not passion ones, that was for later times when our hormones stirred our bodies. The adults could see us thru the windows facing the swimming pool, and then Mom said: "I think we took the right decision, it is much better to be in the open light than not hidden where we don't know, it is a beautiful picture. If God exists, sure he is blessing this moment." All four smiled. CHAPTER 11 ------------------ We walked under that bright moonlight; hands entwined enjoying those great moments. I also could observe how Nick and Peter were with clenched hands behind us amicably chatting about something that we could not hear. We went around the swimming pool and sat down on one iron bench with our back to the annexe edge. With our hands united and staring each other, I could not see either Nick or Peter, I thought they were in the annexe. Then caressing Maria face I separated a tuft covering partially her left eye, I looked at her face again, oh my God what a beautiful girl she is! I kissed her now silver lips because of the moonlight. "Maria what a beautiful girl you are! I would be the whole night and day looking at your eyes, your nose, everything of you. She caressed my back; resting her head on my chest, she wrapped her arms around my waist very tight: "Joss, Joss, I love you very much. Please, never leave me; I would get mad." I noticed her little body trembling, she was sobbing. At that moment thru my room window, we could hear the lovely music and soft words of the singer: ""The most beautiful sound I ever heard, Maria, Maria, Maria... The most beautiful sound of the world in a single word, Maria, Maria...I just kissed a girl named Maria!"" "Maria, my Imperial Eagle, I'll never leave you and no one will separate us; we'll be together forever." Still on my chest caressing her hair I continued: "As our song says, it is the best thing that happened to me since I can remember." Then tenderly I separated her and I licked her cheeks absorbing and wiping her tears, and still with her little voice cracking she said: "Do you promise it?" "I promise; not only that I'll love you forever, even further Maria. When we grow and are adults, I'll marry you and we'll have children that they'll be as happier as we are now. I promise you. Do you promise the same to me?" "Oh my dear Hawk, don't even mentions any word of doubt, my affection will last forever, no matter what happens. I'll be your wife and together we'll build our life, not only I promise, I would swear it on the Bible if necessary." With that reciprocal promise, we kissed once more and hugged. We remained with our bodies gripped as a single one for a few minutes without saying a single word, only light pecks. At that moment Nick and Peter came: "Did you like our present in the day that your love has been approved?" We said nothing; we stood up and hugged our "two" brothers. "Peter, Nick, that has been the most precious present we could receive from two brothers, we'll never forget it. Thanks to both of you. I think it is time to go back; Mother Louise is waving her hand. Let's go." All joined at the Iron Gate and said until tomorrow and good nights. On our way into the house, Dad said: "Joss, before you go to bed I want to talk to you in private." With that, Dad meant alone, no one present, which was very unusual, however, I answered him: "I'll be ready in one minute, only time to brush my teeth and wear the pyjama." Therefore, as soon as we were upstairs Nick started asking: "Joss, what do you think is that for?" "I don't know. I have a guess, but really I don't know, I'll tell you later." I brushed my teeth and in a few minutes I was sat down on a two places armchair in Dad's office, he entered and left the door ajar, also unusual when he wanted to reprimand us, then he started: "Joss, today has been a nice and, I would say, historical day in this family. I expected this to happen sometime a few years ahead, not so soon. First of all, I have to say that we are very proud of you; you never disappointed Mom or me, and today you have confirmed it. In your relationship with Maria, we have betted for freedom instead of restriction; for responsibility instead of prohibition; out of any religion or social feelings, but our homes are not different from outside. We live in a society that wouldn't see as normal that two 11 y/o children start loving themselves with their parents' consent, so Maria and you must be responsible enough to care about it in your affection outside our homes. I suppose you understand what I mean." "Yes Dad, I know what you mean." He continued. "Love is the most wonderful manifestation of the human being, and at your age, it is the most beautiful thing if enjoyed freely and without dirtiness. Believe me Joss; you'll remember this all your life; nevertheless, sometimes our body goes in a different way than our mind. In a few months your body will start maturing, you'll have the first signal when you wet your bed during a strange dream, or when you masturbate yourself, as I suppose you have already done." I blushed profusely but I said: "Yes Dad, we discovered that sometime ago." He noticed my rudeness and continued: "You don't need to be ashamed of that, I did at your age, my father did and my grandfather did, and if you go into the wild jungle you'll see apes masturbating themselves, so it is a question of Nature, not of yours, mine or anybody else. From that time on, especially when you are with another person, normally of the opposite sex, you'll feel the strong and uncontrollable wish to go further and further, until you get a release of it; something as the masturbation, but stronger. This feeling is not exclusive of the male sex, also female's, that is what is called intercourse, in the common speaking "fucking." However, in spite of you not being mature enough, I mean, not fully an adult, the seed or semen that you'll expel when you make the act, will be able to generate a new being, a baby; if the female person is also mature. I suppose you already have studied this in the school." "Yes Dad, we did last year, but when, let's say, Maria will be mature enough?" "Very soon. Most women are much advanced than men in age. Her breasts will start increasing in size, first very slow, just a tinny spot." I blushed again because Maria was in those first early stages of growth and I was tempted to touch them; he then continued. "Then quicker, in two or three years she will be almost finished, the same will happen with your penis. Here the key question lies. Only from the physical point of view: if you make intercourse before she is fully developed you may hurt seriously her, and if it is when she is completely developed you get a very high percentage of possibilities she conceives a baby; she then gets pregnant. Of course, there are different stages from the time you or she starts until you/she are fully developed; but now I think this is not the question." "Joss I can tell you right now, that there is nothing comparable to the act of conceiving a baby when you want him and you are fallen in love with your counterpart. Nothing is so great, nothing is so beautiful, and nothing is so lovely; that is the maximum expression of the human being. Therefore, if you love Maria as I think you do, look after her, be the man in control, think she deserves being cared for and not hurt. I know that this is not an easy task; during the first years you'll have the temptation to override all measures but, please, think about what I'm saying tonight." "But Dad, I heard that some teenagers fuck their girlfriends." I blushed. "Do they love their girlfriends as you love Maria? Do they contemplate their girlfriends as the future mothers of their children? If the answer to these two questions is yes, go ahead, take all necessary protections in order not to conceive a baby, and enjoy your youth; but please, Joss, it must be by mutual consent and needs; never try to impose your own needs. By now I think this is more than sufficient, in fact, I have gone further than I had proposed myself when I decided to speak to you about it. Do you have any question?" My only answer was to reach my Dad neck giving him a tremendous hug. "I'm very lucky to have a father like you. Thanks, Dad." I noticed his eyes were welled, so I did not want to embarrass him and I escaped to my room. Nick was anxiously waiting for me. I entered my room; Nick was on the bed caressing his dick, as usual, erected. "Joss, you have been a long time chatting with Dad, what did he want? I looked at my angel brother on his always-delighted blue eyes: "Not much," I said. "Not much? You have been there nearly an hour, then, what did you do, smoking?" I laughed at my brother's joke. I explained him all in detail about our conversation. "It must have been very embarrassing for you." "Well at the beginning; but Dad is a wonderful father and I felt very comfortable talking to him. I made some questions and he always responded without any doubt." "I see; I, I may talk to him sometime, but not yet, we have time." "We have time, for what?" "Well Joss, you are very lucky, you love Maria and you won't have any problem, but I love Peter and he loves me; we don't love girls and people don't like it, they'll tease us if they knew it." I looked at those beautiful eyes; I saw in them the greatest store of love. "Nick, I think it is too early to know whether you'll like girls or not; there is a lot of time ahead, meantime you can enjoy each other in an extension that I cannot do with Maria. I have noticed that you should be a little bit more careful when you are with other than with Maria and me." "What do you mean with an extension?" "Yes, you can kiss, hug and also fuck each other, I cannot do that with Maria, even if she wanted to; so you have some advantages that we don't have; times are changing and probably in a future the relationship between males will be seen as normal, not like now." "I worship my bro more than anybody else." He kissed me passionately, introducing his tongue in my mouth. At the beginning I thought not to go ahead, but he needed my support and also I needed some sex release, so I motioned him to lock the door. He jumped from the bed, locked the door and in a few seconds he was on the bed again with me. I parted my mouth and received his tongue and saliva. We were very tight and in a perfect grip. He introduced his left leg between mines so that my hard dick and balls were rubbing against his upper thigh. He turned me on my back, we were breathing hard as our orgasms were building up somewhere within our bodies, I stopped our kissing for a moment: " I like you very much; but Nick, please, don't, don't fuck yourself with my dick, I'll do whatever you want, but not that." "I know, brother; I was not trying to repeat it again." He kissed me and started the same as the last moment, but this time no on top of me, but in my side. He continued licking and sucking my nipples, I felt my cock rubbing his butt cheeks, then he took it and placed between us, his prick and mine were together as good brothers rubbing and caressing each other. We were not far from our orgasms moaning and breathing hard. Then he turned down making the classic 69. He eagerly took my prick in his mouth and in the first suck, I moaned in ecstasy; his pink shaft with the redhead was brushing my lips, he pushed forward and I received it gladly. We sucked each other and I got also his balls in my mouth, my palms on each butt cheek. In a moment our bodies stiffed as I arched my hips and stopped breathing with my mouth full of his meat. A wonderful dry orgasm hit again our crotches and penises with a loud moan: "Oh!!! Agh!!!" We were sweating, our forehead dripping; we relaxed and when our breathing was restored Nick said: "As usual it was wonderful." "Yes, it was wonderful, as it must be between two brothers. Next time we must be very careful about our moans, they were too loud." We laughed, hugged tightly and as we were, we drifted to sleep. Sunday came; we got up around 9:30, after a quick shower, we went down always naked, we had breakfast, Nick, as usual, was aroused, I pointed to his cock. "Can't your little brother have a rest?" "Only when he works very hard as last night, so he needs again some exercise. Can we give him something?" "No this time, I have to get up Margaret and give her breakfast; you take him for a walk and make some exercise, don't you?" We laughed and after finishing breakfast I woke Margaret up, gave her breakfast and I called Alfred. A few minutes later, he was with us. He did not surprise himself to see us naked, so some minutes later I could observe Alfred's tent on his short. "Nick, you have now someone with whom to go for a walk." Nick and Alfred giggled, both rushed upstairs; before they got on my bed Alfred was also naked, jumped on it and started giving some exercises to their respective little brothers, I could hear their moans since they did not close the door; I was their guardian. I remained to play with Margaret and my dick was also getting hard just hearing their noise. Margaret innocently said: "Joss, I think that Alfred and Nick will be late for their walk, Mom and Dad will come soon." "I'll remind them this if they do not come soon." Nick and Peter came down 10 minutes later naked, with their cocks limp. "Did you have a good exercise?" "It was a lovely one," Alfred said. "We now go to swimming please let's know when it is 10:30 in order to wear our Speedos; I don't want Maria to see me naked." Lowering his voice near my ear, he continued: "I'm much looking forward to a new sleepover; I have a lot to chat with you." "I'll see to that when we come from our holidays in Germany. I also want that, my cock was hard only hearing what you were doing upstairs." We laughed, they rushed to the swimming pool, in a minute I heard them splashing and having a good time. At 10:45 I warned them and immediately all of us put on our Speedos; twenty minutes later Maria and Peter were in. As soon as she entered, I pecked her on the lips: "Good morning, my beautiful Eagle." "Good morning, my handsome Hawk." She slowed her voice: "I'll tell you something later." "Me too, we have all day." She and Peter went upstairs to change into swimming suits. Alfred watched us astounded; he was amazed to see us. He came to me: "Joss, how do you dare to kiss Maria in the presence of everybody? I smiled at him. "In the presence of everybody certainly not, only in the presence of my family and my best friend that I consider as my family; does it convince you?" "Of course it does, but it isn't very usual that a boy of 11 y/o kisses his..." I interrupted him. "His girlfriend. I know that Alfred, but our families are exceptional ones and I have the best parents I ever saw, I'll explain to you later." "You can bet it for sure." It was a lovely day within our premises, we helped Mom to cook and clean the house, and Alfred joined us at lunch after calling his Mom. I explained him all about Maria and me; he was even more surprised than before. "I wish I had a family like yours, Joss, my Dad is a good man, but very old-fashioned in what sex is concerned, on the other hand, I don't have a girl to whom I love as you do to Maria. It must be wonderful." "Certainly it is Alfred, I'm very lucky." "Joss we need now much than ever before to spend a sleepover, not only for sex, mostly to talk all about this and to share our learning; I envy you." "I'll see to that when we return from Germany, I promise you." When it was around 7:00 pm we asked Mom and Dad whether we could accompany Maria and Peter to the village, and to leave them in there, they accepted but under the condition that we must return before nightfall. All five went; Maria and I hand in hand but chatting altogether. In our way I told Maria about my conversation with my Dad, she told me she had the same with her Mom, so we had now a better knowledge of all about our relationship. We went thru the village; Maria lived near the park, so when we were in the far corner of it, I asked for help to establish a guard just for half a minute. Maria and I hid behind a bush and we embraced tenderly. We said good nights and before nightfall, we were at home. At passing on front Alfred's home, we said hi to his Dad that was sat down in an armchair near the main entrance. Alfred, Nick, and I chatted a lot and before say goodnights, he said: "Joss, don't forget your promise." "You can take my word for it, Alfred." We spent the whole week engaged in the trip's preparations. Dad got ready Peter and Maria's passports, ours was not necessary; on those times we had double nationality since Mom had registered us also in the German consulate. The same Saturday, as Maria's parents flew to their Canary Islands holidays we did to Cologne. I was sat near Maria, Peter and Nick on another row of the aisle, and in front of us were Dad, Mom and Margaret. During the takeoff, Maria closed her eyes and hugged me until the plane was in horizontal position again. The weather was clear so we could watch everything. She was amazed, asking me many things that I could not answer. Sometime later, the plane crossed thru the Alps and we could see her majesty "Mont Blanc" with its beautiful white crown. Soon we were landing at Cologne-Bonn airport. When the hostess announced the landing Maria again closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around my waist. "Please Joss; advise me when we are on land." The hostess saw us, she probably believed that Maria was my sister and she smiled. As soon as we arrived at the Airport's exit gate, my grandmother received us, we all three ran to her. We kissed and hugged her with love. She was very happy; then looking at Maria she said: "Joss, I suppose you are still a gentleman, aren't you going to introduce this beautiful girl and boy to me?" "Sorry Granny, I was so glad to see you... this is Maria and he is Peter, her brother." "Hello Maria, Peter." She kissed both and hugged me; then in German, she said to me: "She is a truly beautiful girl Joss, don't miss her." "I'll never miss her Granny, she is already my girlfriend." "You are a naughty boy!" Peter was laughing. Maria took my hand and pressed it as she asked me: "What are you talking about in German?" "Nothing exceptional, only that I love you and you are my girlfriend. That's all." "Oh, you are a rascal boy! As soon as I get back I'll start studying German, so you'll never be able to cheat me again." It was late and raining, and we were tired of the excitement and the trip; we had an early dinner and all the children went to bed. Maria and Peter in one room, another one for Nick and me, and in a suite, with a small-communicated room, were Mom, Dad, and Margaret; as usual, we were naked, and Nick erected. The following day was a bright and sunny one. I asked Mom to go to see the cathedral, she offered herself to accompany us if we wanted; she used to be a tourist guide when was young, so she knew it very well from any aspect. We declined her offer because I wanted to show Maria everything I could myself, and the hotel wasn't very far from it. When we arrived, we entered via a narrow street so Maria and Peter could suddenly face the Cathedral. They were impressed by the beauty and dimensions of this wonderful building: "Joss, let's go inside, today is Sunday and many people must be attending to the mass." Our parents always left us free to choose our beliefs, never influenced by neither the Catholic nor protestant, but Maria had grown up in a Catholic school. We went inside of that enormous building; she then kneeled on a bench and dragged my hand pulling me down saying in a whisper: "We must respect this building and what it means, and above all, the people who are here preaching." I kneeled not fully convinced followed by Peter and Nick; after a couple of minutes she signalled herself and we stood up. We made a roundtrip within the building, and then she said: "Joss, can we go up to the towers?" "I don't know, I have never been up there, I'll ask the guardian." He confirmed us that we could go as far up as we could; however, he advised us to be aware not to go thru any window, door closed or prohibited for safety, no fee was necessary on Sunday, and then he said: "Your sister is a beautiful girl." "She is not my sister, she is my girlfriend." He giggled. "Die Jungs von Heute!!" (These children of today...) I laughed, Maria questioned me, I explained to her and she also laughed. "I'm very determined to learn German as soon as school starts." All four went up and up until where the big bells were hanging, then some started sounding, and we covered our ears until it ended. When we recovered we leaned on the iron fence around the balcony, there was a wonderful view over the entire large town; it seemed we were flying as birds high in the sky, we were viewing over the river Rhine. I gripped Maria's hand and shout out with all the force my lungs could muster: "I love Maria!!!", enlarging the "a"; then she stared at me and then she also said: "I love Joss!!!." Sooner we finished in the other window we heard: "I love Peter!!! I love Nick!!!" Maria and I kissed and hugged; the same Peter and Nick did. We laughed happily and with our hands clasped we descended to the church. We had a walk around all nearby streets; afterwards, we went to the river gardens. Maria and Peter were impressed; we bought ice creams and walked hand in hand until midday that we returned home. Those were wonderful days. Dad took us each day to a different part of the country. By train, we went to the Tyrol and Vienna in Austria, to Nuremberg and to Berlin. This was the saddest part of our trips. We visited the Wall that separated Germany into two different countries; Mom explained: "That wall separated homes, fathers from mothers, mothers from sons. It was terrible." Maria then asked: "Can't they join again?" "They cannot, my love. Many tried to cross that terrible wall, some got in this part, but many died trying it; they made tunnels under the wall, even some tried to cross it in a globe. We hope that sometime in the future that wall will be removed and destroyed and our people reunited again. That's my dream." I stared at Maria and both watched Mom; two tears came down her lovely cheeks. We hugged her. "Mom, your dream will come true, I'm sure of it." She squeezed us against her waist: "I hope you are right and I could see it. I'll never return to see the Brandenburg Gate until I can walk under it; if I cannot come, you and your children will do it for me. Will you promise Joss and Maria? We blushed, we had never talked about children of our own, even in the future; nevertheless soon we recovered, and, pressing Maria's hand, I answered Mom: "You can bet for it, Mom." CHAPTER 12 ------------------ We were so excited that even we forgot about sex; only one morning Peter and Nick met in my room meanwhile Maria and I had breakfast. After a few minutes, they came down with the happiness reflecting in their eyes. That day the sun was shining, all four we went for a walk along the riverbank, many people were sat down on de grass and benches. We bought ice creams and walked with hands clenched, Peter and Nick in front of us. Then we watched a couple of teenagers boys of about 16 or 17 y/o also hand in hand, they stopped for a while and kissed tenderly, it was clear they were in love each other, no one of the many persons walking said anything. I noticed how Nick and Peter gripped their hands. It was a beautiful picture. Maria was always keeping an eye on Granny while we stayed at my Grandma's home; at least during some hours in the evening. Many times she left my hand on the sofa to help Granny; she was not used that someone was paying attention of her wishes, so she started to ask Maria to do little things instead of asking me or Nick: "Please Maria give me that book, or give me that cushion." I realised that Granny was also trapped in Maria's net, as I was. We knew Grandma had been a professional piano musician; she had a wonderful one; however, none of us dared to ask her to play it since Grandpa passed away five years ago. Granny asked Dad whether we could delay our departure; after consulting the hotel we prolonged for 4 days more our stay. Granny liked to sit down with Maria and me talking about when she was a girl of our age, so we preferred to be with her meanwhile Dad and Mom went out with Margaret. Nick and Peter were near all the time walking exploring Cologne. "Maria you have the same eyes as a Jewish girl that was my best friend, she died in a concentration camp during the war, we were very close friends." She paused. "Maria, Joss, please, take your shoes out and come here near me." We cuddle near Granny, and then Maria asked her: "Granny, I suppose you loved a lot your husband; how was him?" "Oh! He was very tall, blonde and with beautiful bright blues eyes, I would say that in resemblance, Nick is going to be more or less as Grandpa was." Then staring at me she continued: "However, Joss is similar in his heart, if he were still alive I'm sure he would have been very close to him. I adored him as no one can do another person, and what was more important, I was paid back on the same way; because of that, when he died all became black to me, now my dear children you both have brought me the light back. I had never expected to see it again. Thank you." She hugged and kissed us; we cuddled at her side when Mom and Dad with the rest returned from their walk. She was so happy... Mom noticed that, as she came in and watched us near her mother without shoes. The following day was bright and sunny; Nick, Peter, Maria and I went for a walk near the riverbank. There was a large field covered with thick grass where children play soccer or went with their dogs. Only a couple of boys were playing football. Suddenly Maria started to run very fast, we followed her but the field was too large, so we stopped nearly half of it under a large tree; she lay on her back and I did on her side with my head on my right elbow: "What a beautiful girl you are Maria! Your lips are as red as a poppy." Before she could answer, I kissed her. "Joss, these lips are only for you and for nobody else." I did it again. "I'm so cheerful and happy that I would like to sing." Peter and Nick were some meters away petting each other and heard me; they raised their heads in surprise. "There is a lovely South American song called "Amapola", (poppy in English)." "Please Joss, sing it," Maria said. "Won't you laugh at me?" "I'll never laugh at you, my boy." She pecked me lightly encouraging me to sing, and then I started: "Amapola, mi lindísima Amapola... y ámame" I did a very high "do" that even I was myself surprised how easy it was for me to sing and to change from a high tone to a low one. Peter and Nick were amazed and Maria could not believe it. When I finished she hugged me. "Why didn't you say that you sing so well?" "I never did before so high, and I have done now because you have inspired me and we are in a very lonely place. For a kiss, I'll sing you any time, Maria." Then Nick pointed out: "That is not the first time, I have heard you sometimes in the shower, but never so beautiful as today." "Please, I don't want anybody to know it, just you." All laughed thinking that it would be very difficult for them not to mention it. Two nights before our return, Granny was sat down near Maria and me; she looked at us and said: "Maria you have the most beautiful black eyes I ever saw, I would do anything to please them." That was unusual, even for us; we were amazed, and then Maria said: "Granny, I only wish that you like me as I like you." Granny wrapped her with her old arms. "Ask for something else, you have that already." Then Maria stammering said: "Gra..., Gra...nny, may I ask you something special?" "If I can do it, granted." Maria grinned. "Please, can you play the piano for us?" All of us, except Margaret, kept the breath; we did not dare even to move awaiting Granny's reaction; then she said: "It is now a long time that I haven't played, probably about 8 years when Grandpa got sick. I hope that you keep your man with you as long as you live; it is very sad to be alone. Now young lady, what do you want me to play? All jumped in a joyful cheer, even Mom that some tears were trickling down her cheeks reminding her father. Maria then said: "Joss and... well, we have a good friend named Elisa, she is one our best friend; I heard sometime ago a piece of beautiful music played by a piano with that name, I wonder whether you can..." "It was Für Elisa." That is one of the most beautiful small pages written by our great Beethoven, he was born in Bonn, not far away from here. Nora, please get ready the piano." Mom rushed and opened the long tail piano, prepared the seat and said: "Mother, your piano is ready for your new debut." Granny grinned. She sat on the stool and after a few touches, she started that wonderful melody that would last in my heart forever. When she finished, we applauded her and kisses came from all of us, she then said: "This is a special audience, now I'm going to play something that you may remember when you are in love and under the shining moon in those warm summer days in your country, that's called "Moonlight." She played that one, another one, one more..., more than an hour she was sat down on the piano. She was now as if she were 10 years younger. Then I felt obliged to pay back Granny what she had done to Maria, I thought she would like it. "Granny, today has been a memorable day, I have learnt something that always was with me, but it was an inspiration from Maria." I looked at those lovely eyes and she returned the gaze encouraging me to go ahead. "Maria, Nick and Peter said that I sing well; I don't know because I never did it before except this afternoon in the fields of the river's bank, so please don't be mad on me. I'll try to do my best of it." Mom, Dad, and Granny were taken aback, I continued: "There is a beautiful English song written for the Eurovision Contest in 1966 sang by Kennet Mac Keller; I heard many times in a record that Dad bought in England." Dad and Mom knew perfectly the song, so they smiled at each other probably reminding them of a happy time together. I started: "A man without love it is just half a man, it is nothing,... that is what I used to be... it is a cloud that never found his destiny. Since you came you touched my heart... and now I'm a man with love." "Bravo! Bravo!! Bravo!," Granny said; she got up and hugged me very tightly. "Joss, you did it very well, I hope that this beautiful voice is kept forever. It is a gift from Mother Nature that cannot be spoiled, but don't abuse it." Mom and Dad also hugged me. "Thanks, Granny, all of you deserve it, probably I'll never repeat it again, unless some special persons, and you are one of them, ask me to sing again; I'm too shy to sing in public, besides I want to be an MD, not a singer." Mom was so emotional that she could not avoid her eyes blurred and one tear dribbled down her cheeks; she was delighted with the new change in Granny. That night she left her prostration and came into life again, thanks to two children in love, Maria and myself. We truly enjoyed that night. We prepared to get ready for the hotel; then Granny called Maria apart, and in a low voice she said: "Maria you are a great soul, God bless you, I wish you and Joss a happy life together, and you are worthy of that." She kissed Maria on the head, I noticed how Maria blushed, she continued: "Don't worry my daughter; I knew you both were in love when I watched you in the airport terminal." "Oh sorry... Granny, I... I..." "Nothing to worry about my daughter, have a good night and happy dreams." "Thank you, Granny, good nights." We walked to the hotel. It was a little late for Germany, we found only a few people during our walk. Next day we paid a visit to Bonn that is located a few kilometres from Cologne; we visited Beethoven's museum and the provisional "Bundestag" or Parliament House. After lunch, we returned to the hotel for the last visit to Granny and get ready for the return to our country the following day. Mon and Dad invited Granny to spend some days with us, she did not decline the offer, but we knew she would never come, she said she could not leave alone her husband, just in case... That night we were ready for bed in Mom and Dad's suite; she was sat and then motioned us to approach; then she hugged Maria and me. "Maria, Joss, no matter what happen in the future to come, but you can be sure of something: I'll be grateful to you both for what you did for Granny, she has revived from a long time of sadness after my father passing away; I never expected to see her so delighted as she is now. Thank you again." Then Maria said: "Nora, Granny is a lovely person with whom I would enjoy to stay, we are very glad she is so happy. We like her, don't we, Joss?" "Sure we do." Before I went to my room where Nick was already waiting, and a little apart from Mom, I said to Maria: "One more in your net my Eagle, your heart is so great and wonderful that no one can avoid being trapped in it." She then looked at me tenderly. "You trapped my heart on that dream and I'll be a prisoner of it forever." I hugged her and we went to each other room. I entered my dorm, closed the door and I found Nick lying on his back, as usual with his dick erect. I undressed and jumped on the bed; he immediately straddled me and started petting me: "Please Joss, let's make some sex thing, I have not done anything with you since we were in our country." "That's not exactly; you do it to me near every night." He was amazed. "Are you joking bro?" "Not at all, you wake me with your dick between my thighs fucking my legs almost every night, all over covered with precum; I'll show you next time." He was taken aback. "I didn't know it, I know that lately I have beautiful dreams and I'm very happy in the morning, but I normally forget all about them." I worshipped my angel and with that great and innocent smile, I was not able to deny him anything. I jumped on top of him straddling him this time, we kissed, I licked his little nipples, his armpits, his belly and navel; then I turned down on our sides, and in a 69 position we sucked until a strong climax arrived at us. "Are you now satisfied? I hope tonight you'll not fuck my legs." He laughed: "I'm satisfied but I cannot promise you anything, you must blame my mind, not me." We said good nights drifting to sleep. That night I was not awaked by Nick's fucking motions. We said goodbye to Granny; we dropped some tears and flew back to Madrid. Mother Louise and John were at the airport to receive us, they had returned three days before; we had missed them a lot; large hugs and kisses everywhere. I had so many things to tell her and to Alfred... That reminded me of my promise for a sleepover with him. The following day Mother Louise and Mom were chatting both sat down in the kitchen. "Louise, it has been a wonderful trip for the children, they have learnt a lot, my mother has revived again with them, I had not seen her like this since many years ago, probably more than 10 years. Do you know who has made the miracle?" "I suppose that the rascal of Nick, she is very fond of him." "You are absolutely wrong; Maria has been the angel, I never watched a more close interaction between a child and an adult, especially my mother; you wouldn't believe how we found her and how we left her. I'll never thank enough Maria what she did. She not only reached my mother's sad heart but also got Joss together with her. I doubt now that my Mother has any preference on my sons, even I would dare to say that she has changed her mind from Nick to Joss. Sometimes they preferred to stay with her and not come with us for a walk; one day I found them cuddled each one on her side and with their shoes off, she was telling them about how much she loved my father and things like that. With this, you can realise how close they became to her." "She has not told me anything about this, Maria only said how wonderful Granny was, but that's all." "Furthermore, two nights before our departure, Maria asked Mom to play the piano; she hadn't done that for more than ten years. Not only played once but two, three times... she was playing for more than an hour all type of melodies always trying to please Maria and Joss. Sorry, Louise, I can't help my tears to come down. I adore my Mother and her happiness radiated to all of us. Maria and my mother shared their private confidences as two old friends; I can guess what they talked about, but none of them would release a single word, probably Joss knew, but I'm not sure. With all this Louise, I want to express you my gratitude for letting Maria coming to Germany and also how much we like her." "Nora, I always thought my girl was a good child, but now I realise where her heart is. We were not wrong letting our children love each other, only this action would justify our decision." "Still I must tell you a wonderful surprise we received." "What is it?" "Do you know that Joss sings very well?" "No, I ever heard him singing." "That's another miracle from Maria. According to what they said, they were all four in a large field playing as children do. Joss was so happy that started singing to Maria a song, "Amapola"; he surprised himself how easy was for him to sing. Then when Granny played the piano, he offered himself to sing a song that David and I brought from England; we liked it a lot. All of us were so taken aback, except the children, that all hugged him; my mother more than anybody else, however, he said he would never sing again, at least in public, except if someone special asks him, including in that to Granny. "Oh, my Joss!! Sorry Nora nothing will surprise me from him, he is so special and so great...!" "Yes, he is a great child, we are very proud of him." "More than that, he is the best being I ever met. But Maria didn't tell me anything about this, too." "He asked all of us not to tell anybody, he said he was shy and didn't want anybody to know about it." "I'm sure Maria or Peter will take his word on it." "I was passing by to the kitchen, Joss, as usual was with Maria, and I could hear him telling her: "one more trapped in your net, Maria, as..." I could not hear the rest of it; obviously, he was referring to my Mother. Louise if you don't mind, how can we make these children be together? They are probably in the best of their lives and we can facilitate their happiness; they'll have time enough for sorrows and grieves." "I agree with you Nora, the best would be they were here together, you have better facilities to enjoy, but..." "I'll tell you what we can do. To bring them with you it is too early for them; they need more time to sleep than we do; however now is summer and most of the personnel in the office and everywhere are on holidays. David said that we don't need to be there all day, we planned to go earlier and come back around noon; so then we can pick Maria and Peter up every day around 12:30, they'll have time enough to finish their summer homework and would come back with you. What do you think?" "Apart from that this would mean a lot of disturbance for you, it is a good idea." "No disturbance Louise, it doesn't make any change to us, your house is in our way to here; therefore, if the children agree the problem is solved, we could start tomorrow." CHAPTER 13 ------------------ With that, we started the most wonderful summer; almost all day together, running, playing, caressing, and loving each other. From time to time I had a peer onto Maria's chest to see thru the linen whether her little breasts showed any changed, but they were always the same, my penis grew a lot and I needed more often to jack it off or have sex with someone, especially with Nick. We licked and sucked from time to time, he also experienced some changes; his dick was more or less like mine, but thinner. I told Mom my promise to Alfred, then Nick said ok but also he wanted to invite Peter for a sleepover, Mom accepted, so the following Sunday Maria and Peter didn't come, they always missed Sundays since Mother Louise wanted that day to be quiet at home. On Saturday evening, we were sat down under the Holm oak tree all four together with Alfred, chatting about our trip to Germany, my arm around Maria back, her head lying on my shoulder, then Alfred asked: "Joss, did your grandma see you kissing?" "Not exactly Alfred, she's an old woman and we didn't know how she would react, but I can tell you that she wouldn't have been surprised if she saw it, I think she knew we loved each other." Then Maria said: "I cannot disclose my confidences with her, those are between women, but I'm in the position to tell you that she knew it right from the time saw us in the airport, she approved and encourage us to continue forever." "That's cool!!" Alfred said. "I love this Eagle, Alfred." Maria moved his head up and looked at me; she put her little arms around my neck, and we pecked in the presence of our brothers and friend. It wasn't a passionate kiss, only a tender one. "Alfred, it is important to have a relationship with someone like we do, but it is also very important to have brothers as we have and a friend like you, with who to share our confidences; and you are our best one." Then Maria approached Alfred and kissed him on the cheek, she said: "And this is our confirmation, Alfred." He flushed until his ears. "Friends, thanks for you trusting me, I'll never disappoint you, you can bet for it, we are a gang and will be forever. Please let's place all our hands together and make a promise." We made a bunch with ten hands, he continued: "We promise to be friends forever, to help each other, never to betray, help our children until we die." Then one by one said: "I promise." And thus, we established a pact that still today, more 25 years later, no one has broken. A new member joined the gang Sometime later, as it is described in the next chapter. Nick then said: "Let's go, Mother Louise must already be prepared to leave." We went to the gate and joined her. I said: "Have good dreams, if possible about me, I'll see you next Monday. One more is in your net." She laughed and grinned. Alfred and I went to his home; I greeted his father and kissed his mother. As usual, Julia was very busy in the garden; we had dinner, and after teeth brushing we went to our room; Jim was not there and besides, we did not need him. "Alfred, as you may know, I like to sleep naked; please would you mind to lock the door, it is too warm and I don't want any cover on me." "I was to suggest this; it would give us more privacy." He got naked and we lay on our back; in a couple of minutes our dicks were fully erected near upright, then he continued: "Now Joss, please tell me everything." I told him all about our trip, our walks, and yell on top of the tower of Cologne's cathedral, he was amazed. "Alfred, when we were walking on the river bank we saw two teenagers hand in hand, apparently fallen in love and they tenderly kissed each other as I do to Maria in private." "Oh! Is that possible? And no one says anything? And the police..." "No, all felt as natural, no one cared about." "That's amazing! "You can bet for it, even I was surprised myself; we cannot see here that in public." "Joss, I'm sure that if my father knew that, he would never allow me to travel to Germany; well, I haven't any plan for that. Joss I want to make you a private question, you may or you may not answer it." "Go ahead, we are best friends, therefore I have not secret for you." "Joss, when you kiss Maria, don't you feel your cock growing? This afternoon only watching you my dick started to grow and it was hard as now." "To be honest Alfred, yes, sometimes, and I feel ashamed for that because I love Maria so deep that I forgot about anything else; however, when we are tongue kissing I feel something stirring my groins and up to my dick; it starts pouring precum as it is doing now. In my mind, I try to reject that, but as my Dad said, sometimes my mind will go in a different way than my body. Furthermore, I find myself peering at her bosom now starting to grow; frankly Alfred, I feel ashamed but I can't help doing it." "That's not bad; I suppose, it must mean that if we have available girls we prefer to enjoy with them, otherwise we have to take what is on hand, like now. You are a good friend Joss. I like you and in some ways I love you; let's enjoy with each other meanwhile we haven't a girl available." "That's the advantage to have a good friend." I jumped on top of him and I said: "I'll show you what frenching is if you want to enjoy more; just close your eyes and think that on top of you is a beautiful girl." "I don't need to close my eyes, you are as prettier as any girl, the only difference is that you have a stick down there and they haven't." We laughed. I started caressing him on his around red lips and then I parted his teeth, our tongues met and our saliva mixed; he pulled my body against him, pressing our dicks together spurting precum that now was all over our crotches. After near five minutes of drenching, we were gasping and moaning in pleasure; I came down, licked and sucked his nipples. I started licking the base of his prick and ball sack, went up and put in my mouth his waiting cock, he moaned in ecstasies; then in a husky low voice, he could articulate: "Oh Joss, I... I'm close to exploding and I want you to explode with me prolonging our pleasure, let's switch positions." "Ok, I think I like and love you too." He grinned, our dicks throbbing with each heartbeat. He did the same to me, sucking everywhere, but when he was near my ball sack he went further down, he pulled my legs together and introduced his tongue between. That was fantastic, he continued up and up without leaving a single millimetre between thighs, then licked and sucked each ball separately, after that, the great! He strongly sucked my cock absorbing anything in there; I was lost in lust and very near to explode moaning and gasping; with some difficulties, I could argue: "A... Al...fred, plea...se, stop for a moment, come up." He left and joined me; we hugged, and after a little rest to relieve our tensions, I said: "We are becoming masters in pleasuring each other." He smiled. "Now lets the great feeling to come; it is waiting outside and eagerly wanting to come out." "Oh, sure Joss, mine knocked at the door several times and was near to come out, but now we'll get the gate fully open. Let's make a 69 position on our sides." We did, each started sucking balls and dick together, and when we were near the climax, only our cocks. At the same, time our bodies got rigid, our breath stopped and our hips pushed against each mouth. A husky low groan came from our throats as our orgasms hit us. A long gasp came out from our throats as we collapsed. We remained there each with the other prick in his open mouth gasping for air. Systematically penises retracted to limp and out of each mouth naturally. Then we corrected our positions facing each other. "Alfred, that was neat, very good. Where did you learn that between the legs? "No one told me, only I experienced that when I was jacking myself off on the bed, if I put my hand between my clenched thighs I felt wonderful, so I thought if that is done by somebody else and with the tongue must be great; it was an experiment." "Yes, it has been an experiment with positive results." I paused. "Do you imagine Alfred, doing this to a girl and when we reached her pussy instead of putting our dick in it, explore it with our tongue? I'm sure she'll howl of lust." "Please Joss, don't start telling this again, otherwise in five minutes we'll start again sucking and I don't know what." "Well, I don't mind, we have the whole night, we can repeat it as much as you want, it's up to you, I'm ready to please my best friend... and of course he pleases me." "Are you serious?" "Why not, Alfred? We came tonight to chat, to make sex things... in short, and to enjoy ourselves. What do you think?" "I fully agree with you, it has been a long time since our last sleepover and our sex initiation. However, we didn't lose our time, did we?" We laughed and joked a lot before we drifted to sleep, but before that, his tongue sucked my legs reminding me of Nick fucking them. "Alfred, I don't know why my thighs seem to attract sex." "Why?" He asked. "As you well know, Nick sleeps in my bed, except when he has somebody else with him. Well, during the night, if I'm asleep on my right side that it is my normal sleeping position, he starts fucking my legs with his cock between my thighs. Sometimes I thought to wake him up, but he looks so happy and relaxed when he finished, I don't dare to stop him doing it." "But, does he know that? "I told him when we were in Germany; he said he doesn't remember. Sometimes I'm so asleep that I don't notice anything, only I find my legs covered with his precum. If he makes his actions when I have slept many hours, I wake up. I wait until he finishes, I cuddle him, and we continued sleeping. Sometimes I'm even stimulated to sex, so I accompany him jerking my cock off at the same time." Alfred grinned and drifted to sleep. However, sometimes things change. That night I was the one who fucked Alfred, as Nick did to me; but this time he also wanted sex, so he woke me up, and smiling we started rubbing and kissing again until a new orgasm hit us. ******************** In those days, my cousin David Mass held a conversation with his mother. They lived in a large town not very far from Madrid on the opposite side; that was Dad's birthplace. "David, soon you'll be 12 y/o, my little man!" She hugged her son tenderly. I love you, my son." He returned the hug but soon he separated from his mother; he was not used to those tender moments from his parents. "I do to you, Mom, I know my name comes from Uncle David, even he's my godfather. Why we don't see him? I also know that I have cousins of about my age. Why we don't have any contacts with them? They are our close family." His mother arched her eyebrows. "David, you have made important questions; now you are old enough to know it; besides, you are a clever boy, not as your other cousins." "Do you refer to Aunty Ruth's children?" "Yes, I do." "I hate them; besides stupid, they are vain; they think that because they are older than I am, have the right to tease me any time." "Well, sit down, we are now quiet, and we can chat about the family. These confidences are between you and me and I want you to keep as they are, confidences, ok?" "Yes, Mom; thanks for trusting me." She continued: "Ok. As you may know, Uncle David is the youngest among the three: Aunty Ruth, Dad and himself. Also, I have to admit that he's the most intelligent and handsome of the three. When he was young, was a cheerful man; he always was invited to all our parties, in summary, he was the type that any girl would like to kiss..." "Mom, did you like him?" "Yes and no. I liked him a lot, I wanted to be with him, but, as you perhaps know, I'm a little bit conservative. I didn't like that mad life of him; I preferred a quiet one. He was brilliant in his studies and very good on sports; he won a silver medal in the European University Games; he was a black belt on karate, I believe. As you can see everything contrary to me, because of that, I chose your father. He used to say he was a European rather than a Spaniard. He always was very polite to me and never approached me in any sense, only as a friend. I think most of the boys were jealous of him, including your father; they could not bear the happiness that he irradiated and his intelligence." "I believe Dad and Aunty Ruth had not much liking about him. The boy said." "I must admit again that they were very jealous of him. As many times happens, when he was born your father was 4 y/o, and your Aunty 6 y/o, your grandparents received the newcomer joyfully without thinking their conduct might hurt the other children. Those were different times! He grew up healthy and strong and soon he was your grandpa's favourite. He became brilliantly an architect and your grandpa had prepared many plans for him. He prized him with a trip thru Europe; in Cologne knew Aunty Nora and sometime later he married her, in spite of grandpa's frontal opposition, denying him any help. But he didn't care; he was a good architect and soon, with the help of his wife and a foreman from the company where they worked, he opened his own office; later on, they created their own firm." She paused. "I know the start of business was a difficult time for the couple; no one from the family gave a hand to help him, and less than any, his own father that prohibited it. Today he's a very successful man; he has many people working for him and has become one of the best building companies in our country." "But I know that they meet Grandpa from time to time," David argued. "Yes. When your Grandpa goes to Madrid, he meets his son and a few times the children. The relationship between Aunty Nora and Grandpa and all of us have been polite but cold. Once bluntly she told Grandpa that she didn't come for his money, as he might think, but for his son, and no one would dare to interfere in their life. This even made his hate stronger to this "German", as he names her since she broke all the plans he had prepared for his favourite son." "Have you met them and my cousins?" "I met them only a few times years ago. Now Joss must be 11 y/o, Nick, 10 y/o and Margaret 5 or 6 y/o. A close friend of mine lives near them and her son Alfred is the best friend of Joss and Nick. I'll show you something." She stood up and went to her room, returning a few moments later with a picture that showed to her son, she continued: "When I asked for Uncle David, my friend gave me this. Now David, try to recognize them, two of these boys are your cousins, the other one is Alfred, my friend's son; this picture was taken a few months ago. They attend the same school, the three are in the honour pad, and they play soccer in their school's team." David looked at the photograph carefully as his mother continued: "She also told me that Uncle David teaches them karate since they were very little; Joss says that he does not like to fight but that they enjoy being with their father." "Mom, you have a lot of information in spite of not seeing them. It seems that Aunt Nora is not a stranger to you." "Yes, you are right; I'm a lawyer and I know when an injustice is committed. Aunty Nora doesn't deserve our rejection, let alone her children and Uncle David. I have told this many times to your Dad, but he is too devoted to your Grandpa and doesn't dare to disobey him. I hope this would be rectified sometime." "Mom, by the picture I would say that the boy with curly hair is Joss, this is a sign within the family; the blond one must be Nick, he responds to his German origin, and of course for pure deduction, the other one must be Alfred." "You are absolutely right, son." David smiled satisfied; he felt something strange watching that picture, especially Nick; he thought: "What a lovely face, he is prettier than any girl or boy that I know." He blushed just thinking his mother could guess his thoughts. "Mom, only with what you have told me I think they are as good as we are. What do you think if I invite them to my birthday party?" "They won't come." "Why? I have never rejected them." "That's not the case. They won't come because at this time of the year they fly to Cologne, in Germany, to see their Granny. Your cousins speak fluently German and Spanish as mother languages; and English as they are educated in an English School." "Oh, I see; never mind, I'll send a personal invitation to them. I suppose Dad won't oppose himself to it." "I don't think so; you are now old enough to invite to whom you like. Should you have any problem I'll try to convince him." "Thanks, Mom." He grinned to his mother and went to upstairs to write us. The following Monday after our return from Germany, Dad came to us: CHAPTER 14 ------------------- "Joss Nick, there is a letter for you." "Is it for us? Are you sure Dad?" "Yes, I still can read." We laughed. Nick took the letter, opened it, and started reading: "Dear cousins Joss, Nick and Margaret: In a week time I will be 12y/o; I'm preparing a party to celebrate my birthday. I will be very happy whether you are able to come; needless to say that I also expect Aunty Nora and Uncle David to come; may I remind him that he is my godfather? A great hug. Your cousin David Mass. We were astonished, it was the first time we received an invitation from David or from any of our cousins; during the few times we met some of them, we did not keep good memory, also Dad and Mom were astounded; besides, in the proposed date we were in Germany. To be fair, we never had invited them, so we were even. However, David had made a step forward and that needed to be considered. Dad then said: "David is a good boy, nothing to do with his father, it doesn't surprise me his action; probably he is being sponsored by his mother. What are you going to do, Joss, Nick?" "Mon, which is your opinion?" Nick asked. "Well, after all, he is your cousin and this letter proves he's a good boy if the initiative was his. At least you are obliged to answer or call him, you must apologise for explaining that you were out of the country." Then Dad said: "What' do you think if we invite him to come and spends here a weekend with us? We may see how he is in reality." Then I argued: "Well, I would like to know him better; but if he comes, I have to miss Maria and I prefer her to any cousin." "You are being selfish, Joss. Why should you miss Maria? She would be able to come as usual, only that you should behave a little bit less... I would say, expressive in what your love is concerned. His mother is a little bit conservative and he may not understand us." "Sorry Mom, I didn't mean to be selfish. I think that Maria and Peter will be very happy. Please Dad, can you phone him? Or shall we do it?" "Call him, I'll give you his phone number, once you finish I'll talk to him and to his mother if she is available." Then Mom asked Dad: "What's about your brother, David?" "He has had many opportunities to talk to me and he always rejected them, so I won't ask him to do it, sorry Nora, you know me, I'm also proud of my family." No one argued. That evening we call David, he was very glad for our call and said he regretted not seeing us, but that there will be other birthdays in the future. Dad then took the receiver and talked kindly to him and to his mother. It was agreed that in two weeks time Dad had to go to their town for business and would take the chance to pick him up, so his visit would only need his Dad's consent that now was not there. He would call back for confirmation. When our Grandpa knew it he made all possible efforts to stop it; however, Cousin David was more or less as we are, he did not give up and finally, he would come home. I informed Maria and Peter, she said: "Joss, he is your cousin and you have done very well inviting him, the family should be kept united, it is very sad what happened in your family and also in mine; we must try to rectify it. On the other hand, I'll miss you a lot, but we can wait for the following weekend." "Maria, I'll never change a kiss from you for all cousins of the world, you and Peter will be here as usual, and the only thing is that we must be a little bit less expressive when he is present until we know him better." I smiled at her tenderly and lovingly as we were in the annexe and under the Holm tree. Two weeks passed, and on Friday evening Dad arrived with David; we were in the living room, and Mom was showering Margaret; as soon as we heard Dad's car entering the garage we dashed down to receive them. When the front door opened, David came in with an open smile: "Hi Joss, hi Nick." He came straight to me and kissed on the cheeks. "Welcome home David," I said. He stared at Nick and kissed him, however, he felt some stirrings in his loins when he placed his slips on my angel face; he could not help thinking "he is more beautiful than on the picture." He blushed at those thoughts. Nick clever as usual, immediately realised what our cousin was thinking, he smiled as he stared at me, then he said: "Mom is bathing Margaret, let's go inside." We entered the house and as soon as we were in the living room Margaret ran to Dad's arms. Mon welcomed David kissing him on the cheeks: "Thanks, David for coming, we regret a lot not being here during your birthday's party." "Don't worry Aunty, there will be more birthdays to celebrate, but now I'm glad to be here with my family." Dad hugged David and he said to Margaret: "Margaret, aren't you going to kiss me? She left Dad's arms and jumped onto David's lap, hanging her little arms from David's neck. "Sorry cousin David, I was waiting for you to say something to me." David hugged Margaret and she still was in his arms when Mom said: "David, Joss and Nick will accompany you to our guest room, unless you prefer to sleep within the room of one of them, there is plenty of space available, all rooms are double." David did not dare to express his wishes; he would prefer to sleep with Nick, but would it be correct? Nick guessed David problems and he came to his rescue: "Mom, David has come for a short visit, we want to enjoy his stay, and we would want to be together as much as possible; so I would suggest he sleeps in my room, if he is ok, of course. "Sure Aunty, Nick's right; I'll feel too alone in another room." "Well, it is up to you David; in that case boys, please take his bag to Nick's room and show him our home. Later you can do whatever you like until dinner time." "Let's go David; we still have a couple of hours," Nick said. We went upstairs and I showed him our room, I noticed how he fixed his eyes on a picture of Maria that I had on my nightstand. Nick continued showing him everything. We went to the annexe, swimming pool, gardens and finally to the gym, then as he observed said: "You have a good gym. I understand that your Dad practices martial disciplines." "Yes," I said. "He is a master on karate, a black belt, in this picture on the wall he's receiving his silver medal when he was young, but he never left his practices, so he is a strong man." "Joss, does he teach you anything?" "Yes, he does karate and self-defence since we were 7 y/o." "Oh! It must be very cool." "Well, cousin David; to be honest, I would say that we like martial arts but not as much as our Dad would; in fact what we deeply like is being with him those evenings fighting and wrestling, we would do anything to be with him, we like our Dad." "I envy you, cousins. I wish I had a father with time like yours, mine is always very busy and never have time when I need him; on contrary, Mom is always ready to help me." "Sure he wants to be with you, he is your Dad, but maybe he's preoccupied with something." Nick said innocently, and continued: "We love Mom and Dad; they never fail when they promise anything." I thought things were coming sad and I said: "Let's go for a walk in the neighbourhood, we may see Alfred." Alfred was not there, he was with his Dad paying a visit to his grandpa. Then David asked: "Joss, did you ever fight anybody with karate?" "No, ever. Our Dad told us never to use our abilities unless it is strictly necessary or we are in danger; it wouldn't be fair to fight, let's say, to another boy without him also knowing karate." "You are too honest, not everybody would behave like that." "We know it David, but that is as Mom and Dad think, and we believe they are right." We returned home after near two hours chatting about everything that boys of our age do; though the girl's item was not touched, it seemed too soon to speak about that. I went upstairs to wash my hands and Nick and David did downstairs, then David asked Nick: "Nick, who is the beautiful girl of the picture we saw on Joss' room?" "She's Maria, Peter's sister; they are Joss' foster-brothers and our best friends, you may ask him about it." David was an educated boy and in spite of wanting to know more things about it, he lay down the subject until a better occasion. We had dinner, brushed our teeth, and said goodnights. We went upstairs, I entered my room, that night alone, but I preferred it, I wanted to think about all the chats I had with Maria; our plans for the future... with Nick it was impossible to think quiet on anything. I undressed and I took Maria picture, I kissed it and put it on my chest, with low words and as a pray, I said: "I worship you, Maria, I would like to be with you now." I noticed how my cock grew hard and I felt once more ashamed. Nick and David entered their room before they undressed David said: "You have two kingside beds, why Nick?" "Well, if you go to a hotel in Germany you'll find that all beds are king-sized; they are more comfortable if only a person is sleeping and are very useful in case a couple have children and wanted to get them together. Dad observed this during his trips and introduced it in our house, of course, you need more space available, but Mom and Dad wanted a good house for persons and not persons for a house; I suppose you know what I mean." "Sure and it's a good idea when you are planning a house for your own use." Then Nick asked: "David, are you shy?" "Not much. Why?" For an answer, Nick stripped down until he was naked. David thought he was getting ready to wear the pyjama, he observed how Nick, as usual, had an erection; instead, my brother went under the light covers of the bed. David was a little bit embarrassed because he also had an erection just watching that beautiful boy naked. Nick noticed David's embarrassment. "David, Joss and I never use pyjama, we always sleep naked since we came to this house, no one can see us, besides it is a lot more comfortable, you never feel your body wrapped in the morning. Also in summer, we can swim nude, you can observe I haven't any tan line." "Do your parents allow that?" "Of course; we are free to do whatever we believe is right whenever we don't offend the feelings of others; however, we aren't allowed to be naked out of our rooms, unless we go directly to the pool; once we have finished we must wear our shorts or Speedos. In addition, if somebody strange is at home; but you aren't a stranger, you are my cousin. If you feel uncomfortable, you can wear the pyjama." Then Nick pointing out to David tent he added, "I suppose your little friend will thank you if you release him from his jail." David blushed but laughed. "Well, when you are in Roma..." Both started laughing, David stripped down and tossed his clothes on a hip on the chair. Nick got up and locked the door. "Thanks, Cousin Nick, you facilitate my job." Again, they giggled. Then Nick thinking that perhaps David would go to the other bed said: "If you like you can join me here, the bed is large, and there's enough space for both, so we can chat together closely." David was amazed because that was what he wanted, but he did not dare to ask. "Thanks, Nick, I also prefer it, otherwise we have to speak very loud." Nick wanted to touch David's cock that was hard and already oozing precum. "David, do you jerk off?" "What do you mean? "Well... if you rub your cock until you get the nice feeling." "No. I don't know what you mean with the feeling; sometimes I have rubbed it like now, but I don't know anything about the feeling. On the other hand, the priest always says that to touch it is a sin and that you may get blind if touch it too much." Nick started laughing like a hyena. David puzzled asked: "What are you laughing at?" "David, please don't offend yourself, but that priest is a liar; this is the problem of studying in a religious school." Our school has no priests at all, but MDs and psychologist. Jim, Alfred's 15 y/o brother told us that the MD gave them some classes regarding sex. The doctor said that before you mature, you can jerk off as many times as you want as long as your prick doesn't get sore; and after being mature, four or fives times a day is normal for a healthy boy. The psychologist said that we never should feel ashamed, that's a natural thing for boys and girls, and sex is to be enjoyed and not wasted; there is nothing sinful in it." "Do you mean we can do anything? And what's about the feeling and mature?" "Doesn't all this been explained to you by your Dad?" "I don't dare to ask him so private things." "Ok, I'll explain them to you; however, Joss would do better than me." "Please Nick, I want you to explain all that you know, I'm very naïf about sex, but please, don't tell anybody about it." "I'll do whatever you ask me. Mature is when you are able to conceive a baby if you fuck a girl. Within a few months, you'll start expelling semen, you'll experiment joyful dreams with the nice feeling." "Are you or Joss already mature?" "No, we aren't. We know it because the MDs explained to us in class; normally it takes place at the age between 12 and 14 y/o, it depends on the person. Now about the feeling; please lie back near me, I'll show you; just close your eyes and enjoy it." "Enjoy?" "Yes enjoy, and a lot." "Ok, but won't it be harmful?" "Of course not." Nick started rubbing up and down slowly David's throbbing prick, cupping his balls with one hand and jerking him off with the other. David soon started to moan loud, then Nick increased the pace, a lot of precum came out making very easy and great the experience. However, since David was very new in sex, in a couple of minutes his body got rigid, he stopped breathing and arched his hip to meet Nick's fist, as he got his climax. A loud moan and he fell exhausted breathing hard. When he recovered, Nick asked: "How was it, David?" "Oh... my, my God! It was fantastic; I don't know why no one told me about it before. Thanks, Cousin Nick." Instinctively he reached Nick and hugged him. Nick took the opportunity and said: "David, don't hesitate yourself; you can touch me all what you want and where you like, I love being touched by another person." "Nick, can we do it again? Now I'll do it to you." Nick mischievously grinned. "Yes please, I also need a release; my cock is asking bout it." We'll do in such a manner that you can do it to me and I'll do it to you again." "But before I want to explore your body, you are, you are... sorry." "You are going to say beautiful, aren't you?" "Yes, how do you know it?" "David, at our ages there is not any difference between boys and girls in what beauty is concerned. You are also a beautiful boy; more than you may think, the only difference is that girls have a cunt and we have a cock. That has nothing to do with homosexuality, so don't feel ashamed, my beautiful cousin." Then Nick kissed David on the lips; David reacted a little bit surprised, but soon he accepted Nick's tenderness and he also started kissing and touching Nick. Soon Nick turned down and got a 69 position, this time only kissing, licking, and jerking slowly David's prick. As a clever monkey, David followed the same steps on Nick body; soon both were fiercely rubbing each other prick. At the same time, both bodies united in a tight joint as they flew to the outer space. When they recovered, Nick turned up to his previous position and hugged very tight his cousin. "You are a good learner, David." "Did you also enjoy Nick?" "A lot; it demonstrates that you are from the family. You are a great boy David, I like you." "I like you too Nick, from now on I think I must give up some prejudices and enjoy my sex; does Joss do the same?" "Oh yes, and Alfred and your Dad did, and my Dad did. That's normal David. We have not yet finished, we'll continue within a few minutes." "Nick, do you mind if I sleep together with you?" "Of course not, I was going to make you the same question." Both laughed and started wrestling on the other bed. No longer, their young bodies were ready for a new session. David jumped on top of Nick and straddled him, their wet cocks rubbing against each other. David wanted to touch Nick everywhere; he fondled and rubbed his chest, thighs. "David, lick and suck my nipples, please." David started as instructed, Nick felt a wonderful sensation, started to moan, and he then extended his arms, and got David's face, kissing him passionately on the lips. He forced David's teeth to part until their tongues met. David opened his lovely eyes in surprise but soon he found it so pleasurable that now he was making the lead. Their crotches rubbing and grinding until that lovely feeling visited them again as they reached their climax; Nick pushing up, and David pushing down. They were only one body when a loud moan came from their throats: "Ahg!!!" When they recovered their breath, Nick said: "It was fantastic, David. Did you enjoy it?" "Very much. I never imagined I could take so much pleasure. I like girls but also I like you, Nick. You are fantastic." "It is too late and we are tired, tomorrow we'll resume our activities." Both laughed and drifted to sleep. David was behind Nick with his arms around him and caressing Nick's hair. In a couple of minutes, they were hard asleep. They slept well. A little after dawn David woke up, he was not used to living near the countryside, but in a noisy town, so this affected him on contrary. He was watching the near sunrise; he closed a little the blind and returned to the bed. Nick was deeply asleep. He then started watching carefully his cousin, he thought: "What a beautiful boy he is!" He uncovered Nick body and the younger boy did not move at all, he watched again the beauty of Nick's features, he stroke his silky hair and touched the smooth skin of his face; his cock started to grow; he stared the red lips and around the childish cheeks. He could not help himself, bent over and kissed tenderly Nick on the lips. "I love you Cousin Nick, how I regret not to have been with you before!" He murmured. He continued exploring Nick's body licking and kissing his chest; instinctively he was rubbing his own prick that started spitting precum that ran until his ball sack. He sucked both fatty nipples and finally he reached to the most sensible parts of Nick's body; he continued asleep. He did not dare to do what he wanted more: to suck that lovely stiff cock of Nick. He felt ashamed and he thought he was behaving as a queer; but on the other hands, he liked to do those things to a girl, so he assumed he was not queer but he was inclined to protect Nick and enjoy with him. Nick wanted and liked to do sex with him, so why not to suck that pole? He gave up all his prejudices, his cock was terribly hard, he bent his head, his left hand cupped Nick's tight ball sack, and his mouth engulfed entirely Nick's dick. He started sucking it carefully up and down at the same pace he was stroking himself. Nick breathed heavily and moaned with a lovely smile on his face. David increased his pace until he reached his climax at the same time that Nick body got rigid and a long moan came from his throat. He opened his eyes, extended his arms and without any word he dragged his cousin to him, kissing him passionately introducing his tongue on David's mouth that now received it gladly without any restriction. David lay near Nick watching and caressing him. "I love you, Nick, sorry for what I have done." "Oh, David! Why didn't you come before?" He caressed again his cousin as he continued: "You don't need to be sorry about, I like that, I thought last night to do that, but we were tired, but now that we are already recovered we'll do it together." "I'm ready. Believe me, the same question I have made to myself, I have lost precious time, but never mind, we are here to recover it." They grinned. With this, David started caressing again Nick; then Nick turned around and got in a 69 position. Without hesitation he engulfed David's cock and started strongly sucking it; David followed the same steps so a few minutes later they were gasping for air thru their noses, both bodies got rigid and both throats near got gagged when that strong feeling hit their young bodies: "Oh!!! Agh!!!" Hugged as they were, soon their pricks now satisfied after two exercises got limp; Nick turned around and lay in the same position as David was, but in front of him. "Please David, unlock the door, and leave it ajar. Dad and Mom get up early on Saturday, they go to play tennis to keep Mom fit and well. They like to peek before leaving and see how we are." David unlocked the door and returned to the bed. In two minutes, they were asleep again. CHAPTER 15 ------------------ Mom and Dad got up around 9:00 as usual on Saturday, they peered thru my open door and saw me asleep and still with Maria's picture on my hands; Mom took it and placed on the nightstand, she covered and pecked me. "He's a lovely and handsome child, David." "Certainly he is Nora, we are very lucky to have so beautiful children." Mom grinned to her husband and followed to see Nick and David. They were awake and chatting very slowly, Mom entered: "Good morning boys, did you sleep well, David?" Mom asked. They approached the bed to kiss them. Then David jumped from the bed, he did not realise he was naked, then he kissed Mom and Dad: "Aunty, Uncle David, thanks for letting me visit you, I regret not to have come before, you all are great! "You'll always be welcomed here David, anytime that you want to come, let me know it and I'll pick you up, I go very often to my old town." "Thanks, Uncle David; I would like to have a father like you." He hugged Dad; then he realised he was naked; he blushed and jumped back to the bed. "David, don't feel embarrassed, we are accustomed to seeing your cousins naked; it isn't new for us. On the other hand, I'm not your father but your godfather, so I can spank your bum any time. All laughed and Mom pecked David and Nick. "Nick, Joss is still asleep, please tell him that we are going to pick up Maria and Peter on our return from tennis, more or less around 11:00 am." They left. David and Nick resumed their chat. "Nick, your Dad looks as he's fallen in love with your Mom, it isn't common after so many years married." "Yes, you can bet for it. Dad loves Mom and vice versa a lot, as it is Ma..." "Why have you stopped? Please Nick, let me know about Maria, that was your next word, wasn't it? I guess she is more than a friend to Joss." "I shouldn't say it to you David; it is supposed that Joss should speak to you if he wanted. It is a secret between the family and Maria parents; they agreed to keep it strictly within the family." "Is it grave, Nick?" "Oh no! But it isn't usual that two children of 11 y/o love each other as they do and with their parents' consent." Nick told David all events since our birthday; he was amazed. "Really, you are a special and not common family. That would be impossible in mine, I'm sure my Dad would prefer me dead before accepting that." "Why David? It isn't so grave that two children love each other. If Dad and Mom did not allow it, sure Joss and Maria would go ahead with or without their consents; if fact they were in contact each other during a month until Mother Louise discovered the affair." "My Dad would spank me to die before permitting it. Nick, are they also allowed to do everything? I mean..." "I know what you mean: sex. Well, I don't think so; besides, they also don't want it. All that Joss and Maria want is to be together, play, read, laugh, chat, and kiss together. They sat in the living room or in the annexe under the Holm tree and spend hours laughing and chatting as two youth in love, they always go hand in hand and kiss very often; they restrict doing it when some strange is in the house, they are very careful about this." "But what's about when they are in the school? Is that also permitted there?" "Oh no! They must be over fourteen, and in the Secondary school. I know it will be very difficult for them, but Joss, besides being physically very strong, also is very strong-minded, and Maria is similar to him. I adore them, David, not because he is my brother, but he's a very special boy; you'll understand it when you treat him." "I have no doubt about it if he is like you." "He is much better than me, David; be sure of that, he isn't only a brother, he is also my best friend; we have no secret between us and only gaze from him I know what he wants or says." "Now I understand your reluctances; don't worry Nick, I'm more or less like he is, the difference is that I have not an excellent brother as you." Nick looked at David and kissed him on the lips, not passionately but tenderly. "I'll tell him that you know all about, so there is no point him restricting from you in his behaviour with his Maria." "Sorry Nick, I feel your penis rubbing my thigh, are you wanting any exercise." "Yes, but we'll do it later. Joss must be already downstairs. What's about if we have a swim in the pool before breakfast? "Jolly good. I'll wear my shorts." "You don't need any shorts, come on, let's go." Nick jumped from the bed and dashed downstairs naked. I was sat down reading a book in the living room facing the pool. David also came down naked; when he saw me, he flushed. I noticed that, so in order to stop his embarrassment I undressed and got naked. I told him: "Cousin David, we are equal, besides I want to have a swim with both of you." He then more relaxed said: "What were you reading, Joss?" "It is a book recommended in the school; it is in German and written by Thomas Mann, a German Jews writer. It is a lovely story of love between teenagers." "By the way Joss, please don't blame Nick, but I know and understand your relationship with Maria. I wish I had parents as exceptional as yours. When she comes, besides introducing her to me, please don't have any restriction. I need to learn a lot and no one can teach me better than you." I laughed and hugged that special cousin. "Thanks, David, I'll do it, you'll see she's an exceptional girl, besides being very pretty. I know you are a good boy." "I'll demonstrate it to you just now, you are better than me on karate, but try to swim as I do. All three went to the swimming pool and splashed inside. What he said was true, I could not reach him swimming; he was a shack in the water. "You are fantastic David, I'm not bad on swimming, but you are one of the best I ever saw; I'm sure you can beat any of our age, even older. In our school, there are good swimmers but you are better than all of them." "Maybe Joss, but don't forget that always there's one better than you or me. What's lovely is to swim naked, I feel absolutely free, it is a sensation difficult to explain, the same in the bed, and I never experienced that before. I must thank you for showing something that at home is absolutely prohibited." "David, how do you feel being erected into the water?" I asked. "Well, as everything in your family, it is new, cool and great." He looked at his boner and then to me. "You are also erected, why?" "Well, it is some days that I haven't jerked off and I'm very horny now." Then Nick said: "We had sex last night, but Cousin David has missed our actions until now, because of that he is erected, I think." "That means you have never done anything in the water before." "No, ever." "Come on David, we help each other." "Are you joking Joss?" "No; it is much better when another does it to you than doing by oneself." He looked convinced, he approached me and we started rubbing each other; at that moment Nick said. "You are leaving me apart and I want also to participate. I'll tell you what we'll do: I'll put a dick on each of my hands, you Joss rub my cock and David will fondle my ball sack." "Not bad, do you agree, David." "Sure, I love sex of any kind." "In that case let's go ahead," I said. We were into the pool, we swam until we could stand, then everyone took a position and Nick started stroking us and we started stroking and folding him. Soon I started to moan, I needed a release, but Nick administered the pace in order all three came at the same time. I notice how David was also moaning and gasping as our climaxes approached. Nick was also the same; one minute later, our bodies stiffed, we stopped breathing and that wonderful feeling hit us. We encircled as a ring with our arms around each other to keep our stand breathing very heavy and gasping for air. "It was fantastic Joss, what about you Nick?" "Haven't you seen me? My god, it was very good!" "Yes, a lovely experience David. Now we must go outside, at least me; I have to wake Margaret up and prepare her breakfast. By the way, I think no one had breakfast, am I right? "You are right Joss, and with so many exercises I'm famished." "In that case, let's go to refill our energies." We went out, dried, and dashed for the kitchen. All naked and together we prepared and had a strong breakfast, then we sat down and David started making questions. "Joss, do you mind if I make you some personal questions? Sorry, all this is new for me, I'm trying not to have any prejudices but on the contrary of you, that have been educated in a free spirit, I have grown up within a very restrictive family." "No problem, if I can, I'll try to answer you. Don't forget we are in a free environment but also very responsible; that bans us to keep a behaviour that probably you don't need to care about." "Joss, do you feel regret when you have satisfied your lust, I mean when you receive that wonderful feeling?" "No, but I know that most boys do. I think it is a consequence of your religious beliefs. I feel relaxed and glad. I would suggest you ask that to your Dad." "To my Dad!!! Are you mad?" He answered astonished. "Well, you can also ask it to my Dad, after all, he is your godfather; he may give you a more accurate answer. I suppose that if you don't mind your religion, that apprehension will disappear. According to Alfred's brother, Jim, he said that MDs explained to them that it is good for our body and mental stability whenever you don't abuse of it; I mean, not to make many times a day. "Something told me, Nick. Do you think it's advisable to ask it to your Dad?" "Why not? If you want, I can tell him that you want to speak in private to him. Sure he won't disappoint you." "I'll do myself; thanks, Joss." "Well let's wear shorts, I'm going to fetch Margaret; Dad and Mom will be soon here." All of us dressed shorts and continued chatting and joking. I brought Margaret that immediately found in his cousin a new candidate to marry. We laughed a lot that morning with her innocent occurrences. Sometime later, we heard Dad's car entering in the garage. "Come on, Maria and Peter must be there." I could not help but I rushed to meet my girl. As soon as I saw her I launched and hugged her, she received me as if we hadn't seen each other in ages; I kissed her tenderly on the lips, but at that moment she realised of David's presence, she got red and tried to separate from me: "Joss, we are not alone!!" "Oh, don't worry, he's my cousin David, he already knows everything." Then facing David I said: "David this is Maria, my girlfriend, the most beautiful girl in the world, at least for me." Maria blushed again, they kissed on the cheeks, and David said: "You are right Joss. She is prettier than that picture on your nightstand." "Thanks, gentlemen for your kindness." Then addressing to David she continued: "David, did they treat you well? Sometimes they are rascals both brothers. Oh, let me introduce you to my brother Peter." They shook hands and all together we went to the living room. Margaret came running to meet Maria, she jumped on her lap, and both started joking. Margaret said: "This is my cousin David; he is very handsome, isn't he?" "Yes, he is." David blushed, and to avoid the embarrassing situation Nick said: "David, Peter, let's go swimming. Peter, you'll be able to see a swimming champion in my cousin David." All three dashed to the pool and soon we heard the splashes and jokes into the water. I remained with Maria; however, in a moment, I entered my Dad's office: "Dad, did you bring what I asked you about?" "Yes, it is on the main fridge, I had to go to Madrid because everything was closed in the village." "Thank you, Dad, I'll contact Alfred also to invite him; please don't tell anything to David." "Ok son, don't worry." Then I explained to Maria that Nick and I thought to make a little feast to celebrate David's birthday since we had missed it during our stay in Cologne. She understood and was ready to cooperate. "I need to change into my swimming dress." For an answer, I caressed her again but this time for a longer time, we were alone. "I needed your caresses more than anything, Joss." She then took my face between her little white hands. "I love you, my cute boy. I rubbed her back and gave her a tender lap on her firm bum. She then murmured: "Naughty boy." "Maria I could not sleep last night; and I want to be with you all the time, not to lose a single minute without you." With our hands entwined, she said: "David is a handsome boy." She immediately added: "But he's not half of my boyfriend. If you place a veil on his nose, forehead and curly hair are similar as yours Joss. He cannot deny he's a member of your family." "For us, he is the only member, believe me, he's an excellent boy, smart and honest; he regrets not to have been here with us. His main problem isn't his, but his family. He had no freedom to believe or to act, always being pushed to do things he doesn't like, or when he likes he isn't allowed to do what he wanted. He's as happy with us as a little child that is taken to the fair for the first time." Maria laughed. "Joss, if he is so good boy, please, look after him and make him stay happy. We have all the time for us, but he has only hours. I'll be with you in a minute." She ran to Margaret's room to change. "What a beautiful legs she has!" I thought. Again, I blushed and my cock was terribly hard. To prevent she could see me with a tent on my shorts, I quickly entered my room, locked it and fiercely I stroked my penis until the nice feeling came. More relaxed I went down; she was already waiting for me. "Where have you been? I'm waiting for you." Then showing those lovely dimples she added: "Never make to wait for a woman; it isn't a caballero the one who acts like that." We laughed. "I have been doing something that no one can do on my behalf." She grinned, and sometime later, I would know that she perfectly knew what I did, she was too intelligent, but she behaved, as she didn't know. "Maria, please go to the swimming pool, I'll go to Alfred's to invite him." "Ok, I'll entertain our guest, don't take much time." Then slowing her voice she added: I cannot be alone just in case the monster comes and my hawk isn't here to rescue me." I gave a peck and a little smack on his but, she ran to the pool and I could hear her splashing inside. I took the bike and pedalled to Alfred's home. I knocked on the door and Jim opened: "Hi Jim is Alfred here, I need to speak to him." He jokingly and in a low voice said: "Yes he is upstairs jerking off his prick; he is very excited since he started dating." I smiled because Jim was always saying jokes, the same as his Mom; he was a very good friend and never used his age to impose on us. "Jim, a cousin of mine is visiting us and we have prepared a little feast, I want Alfred there. Do you want to join us?" "Oh no, thank you, Joss, I know you are sincere, but I have something more important to do." Again slowing his tone, he continued:" I'll try to fuck a girl this evening at a party we have prepared. I'll tell you next time all about." Then shouting he said: "Alfred!! Come down immediately, his majesty Joss Mass von Kempt wants to see you." Alfred came immediately. "Sorry Joss, I was washing my hands," Jim added: "Of course he must do it. How was your jerk off Alfred?" Alfred blushed. "You dirty shit." However, Jim was already flying to his room. What is it?" I explained all about our little feast; then at that moment his Mom approached: "How is the most handsome boy in the neighbourhood?" "Very well, thanks." I pecked her on the cheeks. "Is that cousin of yours, your Uncle Robert's son?" "Yes, he is." "Alfred, his Mom is an old friend of mine, please try to get him here, I would like to know him personally. She always mentioned her son to me." "I'll do Mom, don't worry." I explained to Alfred that it would be an excellent idea that around 6:00 pm he would bring my cousin to his Mom; meantime we would prepare the annexe. We entered my house and those moments David and Peter came out from the pool after a race: "David, please," I called him. He approached and before I made the introduction, he said: "Hi Alfred; it is nice to know you personally." We gazed each other, but he continued: "Don't be surprised, my Mom is an old friend of his; she showed me a picture where you are with Nick and Joss." "I'm very pleased to also know you, David, Joss told me all about. By the way, my Mom has expressed her wish to know you; would you mind to come home to see her this afternoon? I promised I would try to get you there." "No problem Alfred, anytime." "Thank you." CHAPTER 16 ------------------ Around midday, we had lunch all together with Dad and Mom. We finished; cleared the table and washed up all plates and dishes that were not to put into the washing machine, until everything was clean and tidy. We returned to the pool, and when it was nearly 5:00 pm Alfred said: "David, when you like, I'm ready." "Just one minute I change into shorts." He returned after a quick shower and accompanied by Alfred they walked up to Alfred's home. As soon as they left, I said: "Nick, Peter, you both, please install the loudspeakers in the annexe for a little music. You have half an hour, no more, meantime Maria and I will prepare the table and beverages." Peter was going to say something, but Nick stopped him. "Half an hour? That will be ready in five minutes?" "He knows that Peter, but he's offering his room to us for the rest of the time." "Nick, do you mean we can have some fun for twenty minutes." "You are clever now. Let's go." They rushed to my room, locked the door and in seconds Peter was naked and his cock getting hard. He, as usual, undressed Nick step by step. When he finished, straddled Nick, and started kissing him passionately. Their lips met and tongues started to explore each other's cavity. He continued licking and sucking Nick nipples and finally, he took Nick's cock in his mouth. Nick started to moan. When he was near to come, Peter said: "Nick, do we have time to repeat what we did in the bathroom?" "It is better to leave it for a better opportunity Peter, now we can enjoy as usual." "I miss you a lot Nick; I was wondering whether we could do something today, my cock is hard all day in the pool." "I noticed that; now let's continue." Nick turned around on top of Peter in 69 and engulfed entirely Peter's cock. They stopped for moments to enjoy more, but sometime later they could not stop, they increased their mutual sucking; after a few minutes their bodies tensed, their breathing stopped and that wonderful feeling came to both at the same time with a husky groan. They remained as they were until recovered their breath and cocks were limp. They lay for some more minutes, but then Peter kissing Nick said: "Nick, let's get dressed, otherwise we may have no time to install the music. In a short time, they extended the electric line to the annexe and from the record player. We instructed Dad and Mom what to do when David arrived, also to Alfred. Near 6:00 pm we heard Alfred and David approaching; we had installed a table under the shadow of the Holm tree, because at this time of the day still was hot, so all of us were in our swimming trunks. As soon as they arrived, Alfred ran to join us; David was a little bit surprised watching Alfred's behaviour, so he asked Mom: "Where are the boys and girls?" "I think they must be in the annexe playing soccer," Dad said. "Let's see if we can participate." To David that did not sound strange since he knew the closeness of Dad and Mom with us, but as soon as he crossed the fence, all of us started singing: "Happy birthday to you!!! " He did not expect this, so he was taken aback; the only thing he could do was to hug Dad and Mom with a few tears dribbling down his cheeks. "Thank you very much to you all. I, I, I didn't expect this." He immediately hugged Nick, then me, afterwards Alfred as finally, he said: "Maria, can, can I..." "Of course you can, Cousin David." He hugged Maria, too. "Ok. David, I think you should blow up the candles, but first think about a wish." "I will not think a wish, I'll express it. I wish you all will continue being my family and my friends for the rest of our lives." He then blew over the candles and extinguished all. Then Peter, Nick, Alfred and me, we launched against him, we took him up and dropped into the swimming pool, as he was dressed. He emerged and as was getting out he said: "Well, after all, I was very hot and I needed it." We all applauded his good disposition to accept the joke. Mom then said: "David, you better go upstairs and wear your shorts, I'll clean and dry your clothes; with this sun they'll be ready in an hour." The music started, David returned and all of us danced, including Dad and Mom. David cut the tart and we spend a very lovely evening until Dad said he had to ride Peter and Maria back home. Peter hugged David wishing to see him again. Maria had conquered David's heart as normally she did with any person she treated. We were hand in hand and then David said: "Maria, I expect to see you both soon, nevertheless, I hope you are very happy together, I never expected to see persons like my cousins and all of you; you are very exceptional, believe me. Maria hugged David. "Thank you, David, sure you are very exceptional too, we all love you." She then kissed me and entered the car. The evening went thru, firstly we pick up all trash of the annexe and cleaned everything, so half an hour later the annexe was as if nothing had happened there. After some fun playing, we accompanied Alfred, with promises to see each other again. We returned and after dinner, we went to bed. Nick locked the door and they had a very good time that night together. "This is your last night, Cousin David. We must celebrate your birthday so you keep a good memory of your stay with us. We all like you, David, now we are more than cousins. "That's absolutely true Nick, you can be sure I'll never forget any of you, and what is more important, I have learnt many things that will change my way of thinking." Nick had already started to undress and soon David could observe his dick was hard. "Don't your cock never rest, Nick?" "What's about yours? I can see the tent on your shorts." "You are right, we must take this opportunity and have some fun; I wonder when I'll have another one." "We'll have many chances, better when you come back, David." He laughed. Nick was already lying on his back on the bed. David approached and started exploring Nick beautiful body. "You are so pretty... I like you, cousin." "I like you too, David, you are a very handsome lad and have a lovely cock." David grinned and started kissing Nick, and then following Nick's instructions, he sucked his nipples one after the other. Nick reached David's cock and rubbed it slowly producing a lot of precum that he extended over the crimson head. David squirmed every time Nick touched those sensible parts; he reached down Nick's crotch and engulfed the entire Nick's pack, he moaned in pleasure: "Oh David, that feels very, very good." "Remember, tonight is a special one." Saying this, Nick turned over, now David was lying on his back and Nick straddling him, both crotches together grinding as they moved up and down. Nick reached David's head and started kissing him passionately; David's cock was now rubbing Nick's butt hole; he groaned at the touch. "David, close your eyes, I'm going to do something that you may or may not like, but it'll give you great pleasure." "Never mind Nick, I'll like it; you go ahead." "Ok" Nick then took David cock and rubbed his butt hole extending precum on it. He then raised himself and guided David pole inside him; he pushed a little and David's cock head entered without much effort; another pull/push and half of it was buried, and a third push and the entire of David's prick was in his guts. David squirmed in pleasure as he felt his cock so tight and warm inside Nick. They rested for a moment and Nick started caressing David again. "Oh Nick, that's wonderful, can I open my eyes?" "Yes, you can." David observed astonished how his dick was entirely inside his cousin." "Are you sure you like this, Nick?" He said with some perplexity. "Absolutely, wait and see." Nick started moving up and down, firstly slowly but one minute later, he increased the pace. David was moaning loudly, gasping as his breathing increased. "Please David, don't moan so loudly," Nick said in hoarse voice between gasps. "I, I, can't help; it is so, so, good! Oh my God!" He reached and grabbed Nick's cock and started stroking it at the same pace he was involuntarily fucking his cousin. Nick noticed they were close to their climaxes; so he placed one of his hands on the mouth of David in order to prevent his more than possible strong loud moan. Their bodies stiffed, stopped breathing and David arched his hips to reach the maximum penetration inside Nick. Nick on the contrary pushed down with the same aim; however, he released his hand from David's mouth and sealed his lips on David's. The nice feeling arrived with all the force that can be in those ages. "Oh!!! Ahg!!!" Both screamed taking care not to shout too loud. Nick collapsed on top of David's chest, his blond hair near dripping sweat. They were breathing hard; some minutes later they had fully recovered still David inside of Nick. "Did you like it, David?" Nick asked. "Oh yes, a lot; but Nick, this was a real fucking boy to boy instead of boy to girl. Did you enjoy it? If anyone knows it, he would say we are queers." "Do you feel a queer, David?" "No, of course not, but I liked doing it to you." Then both laughed. "In that case forget about it! It is too soon for me to know if I'm queer or not, only I can assure you that I enjoy doing it, so I take it. The future will come and decide. Joss says that we must enjoy our lives and forget about anything else. Granny uses to say the life is to live and enjoy it, there isn't any other alternative." They did not discuss that philosophy but continued enjoying that special night. I dreamt with my love and I did not miss Nick that was very engaged with David. The following morning, Sunday, they got up and enjoyed the fun in the bathroom as we did playing to fire- fighters with their pee. I heard David laughing happily when he was hit with Nick's pee, then groans and finally silence as they recovered from their sex exercises. We met at the kitchen and had breakfast the three together. Mom, Dad and Margaret were still asleep, and then David said: "At what time do your parents get up?" "I would say that in twenty minutes." "In that case, I have time enough; I'll get breakfast on the bed for them." "Good idea," Nick said. We prepared two trays, David asked about what they liked more. He demonstrated he also was a better cook than we were. I went to the garden and cut two roses, one for each tray. When we heard noise in Dad's bedroom, we carried the trays, one David and the other one Nick; I knocked on the door. "Come in!" Dad said. We opened the door and both were just awaked. We entered with the two trays and flowers. "Good morning Aunty Nora, good morning Uncle David." "Good morning sons." They kissed us and Dad asked: "Have we missed anything?" "No Dad," Nick said. "It was David's idea." Dad looked at his nephew and extended his arms to hug him. "Thank you, David." David beamed with happiness. "I adore you all, Uncle David; these have been the happiest days of my life." "We are very glad too, David." Mom said. "You are a special boy, you deserve it." I watched how David's eyes were getting wet so I said: "David, please come with me to wake up Margaret." He immediately understood my idea. "Yes, let's go." We left the room, and then he dried his eyes. I behaved as if I hadn't noticed and we continued to Margaret's room. Margaret liked to be awakened; so David did this job that morning, she woke up and rubbed her little lovely eyes. David said: "Good morning my little angel." Her eyes sparkled when she heard her new name, she extended her arms to David, grabbed her to his chest, she reclined her little head on David's shoulder saying: "I love you, Cousin David, you are very handsome. Would you marry me when I have grown enough?" David smiled Margaret's occurrence: "Yes, if you still like me, but probably you'll find another boy more handsome than me." "Never mind, I still will like you." David hugged Margaret and all three went down to prepare her breakfast. Half an hour later, we collected the trays from our parents' room, and then Mom called David: "David, please sit down near me." David was confused, then Mom stroked his hair and kissed him, she continued: "You're a very cute boy, probably girls will dispute your smiles in the future, however, don't forget that we also like you, pretty boy." This time he could not resist and he hugged Mom; tears of joy dribbling down his cheeks. "Don't worry and don't feel embarrassed, David." He separated from Mom still his eyes blurred. "Aunty Nora, I enjoy being with you all. May I come back Sometime?" "Any time David; we'll be disappointed if you forget us and don't come back soon." CHAPTER 17 ------------------ The day went thru playing, hearing music, and doing what normal children do when they are together. We taught David some karate tricks as self-defence that he thanked a lot. Around 6:00 pm Dad announced that it was time to leave; there was an hour drive to David's home and still Dad had to come back. Tears, hugs, and promises of return were expressed, in the last minute he said to me: "Congratulation Cousin Joss for choosing Maria, you are very lucky." I could say nothing because Dad started the car engine, we said so long and returned inside a little bit depressed with his departure. "Mom, you should invite David for a longer time, he is a lovely boy," Nick said. "You are right my children, but that doesn't depend on us, I'm sure this visit will carry him many problems." "Why Mom?" I asked. "It is just a feeling, my sons; let's wait, and see." We closed the item and each one started entering the house. Meanwhile, Dad was driving and David was serious and silent. "David, you are too silent." "Uncle David, I would like to make you some personal questions and I don't know how to start. In fact, I tried Joss to answer them, but he told me that he probably wasn't the most appropriate person, that my Dad would be the correct person, or alternatively, you." "I suppose we need sometimes, and driving a car isn't the best option. In a few minutes, we'll arrive at a road restaurant and cafeteria where Aunty Nora and I stop very often, they have good coffee and ice cream. Joss told me that you might want to talk to me, so I left sooner than we needed, we'll stop there and have a quiet chat if you want." "Thank you, I need it." "There you are, that is the spot." Dad parked the car and entered the cafeteria, the waiter recognized him: "Hello, Mr Mass, unusual to see you without Mrs Nora." "Yes Jose, I'm returning my nephew to his home, do you have a quiet table?" "Yes, that one in the bottom, near the window." "Ok, please white coffee for me, you David?" "A chocolate ice-cream, thanks." "Jose, that special cup, he is a grown up boy." "Thank you, sir, I'll be here in a couple of minutes." The waiter left and some minutes later, he came with the services. He left them on the table and returned to his duties, Dad then said: "David, I'm ready if you still want to ask anything." David started moving the teaspoon inside the large cup of ice cream thinking how to start: "Uncle David, I have... I have started..." Then Dad helped him. "You have started jacking off, or technically masturbating yourself." David blushed but brave enough he said: "Yes, I have started masturbating and, to be honest, I like it doing alone or with others." "That's absolutely normal son; I did, your Dad did, and your grandpa did at your age and later on." "Yes, Uncle David. But when I get that nice feeling I deeply regret to have done it, but..." Then Dad interrupted him: "But a few minutes later you have forgotten your regrets and start it again. That nice feeling, as you call it, its name is a climax and basically is the origin of life. You and I are talking here because our fathers had a climax in a determined moment." "Yes, that is. Nevertheless, if it is so normal, why do I have those regrets?" "In fact David, they aren't regret, but relax. Your problem is that you associate them with your religious beliefs. You have been told for a long time that the sexual touches are bad, a capital sin, even that you can get blind if you do it frequently. Am I right?" "Yes, you are." "Almost certainly what I'm going to tell you wouldn't be approved by your Mom and my brother, but those assertions are purely lies. It has been demonstrated that enjoying sexual activity is beneficial for our bodies, even in some advanced schools, in the north of Europe, boys and girls are encouraged and taught how to enjoy it within a moderated way. Of course, it is not good, if you are the whole day masturbating, the same as if you are eating. So you should put into your mind that this activity is not bad in any way, all contrary, it'll help you to enjoy it and not feel regret since there is nothing regrettable in it." "But when I confess, the priest says it is a capital sin, enough to send us to the hell." Dad smiled. "David, if those assertions were true, all priests, bishops, etc. would be in the hell. To begin with, I don't believe there is any hell or Satan; those are pure tales to convince the innocent people and to control them. Strictly speaking, about the Christian religion, Jesus never said you have to confess, he said, "Repent from your sins". The confession was established more than four hundred years after his death. Normally it was used to control people, to know by the rich and powerful persons how the low classes thoughts. You'll learn this later on when you go into the university." "Do you mean that a priest can release what I said to him in the confession box?" "Well, I don't think your priest will go publishing what a boy of 12 y/o says to him, among other reasons, because all boys say the same. However, it wouldn't be the first time that they do. During the Spanish Civil War, many priests released what they heard under confession to capture some opposed people to the current regime; later on, people so captured were either imprisoned or shot to death. To be fair, some priests that they truly believed in what they thought were also killed for not releasing something heard during a confession. "Oh my God! That's amazing! Uncle David, do you believe in God?" "It depends on which God; Jews'? Shintoists'? Buddhist's? Muslim's? Some of them are older than Christian's are. Why is ours the true one? I don't think that this is your problem, probably you'll learn by yourself which religion is best. Personally, the best religion is, to be honest, fair, and to love others, as you want to be loved. Look, David, the Earth is smaller than a sugar grain if compared with the Universe. How can we say that this is the most important planet in the Universe and that our God is the best?" "In that case what do you think?" "My advice, David, is that you seek the aim of being happy and making happy to all others; that implies, to be honest, fair and work hard in whatever you choose." "But that would imply to reject the daily prays at home. My house looks more like a church than a home." Dad laughed about David's words. "I would like my home was as yours, but if I say anything to Dad, sure he'll kill me." "David, my brother used to be a little conservative, but not to that extent. I can tell you that I couldn't have a better brother than he was. I liked and I still do him in spite he rejects me. I wonder what has changed him." "Uncle, if I had a Dad like you, we wouldn't have talked here. He never has time for me, I cannot ask him anything. Why is he like that? Doesn't he love me?" "He sure does to you and more than you think. Listen, he's four years older than I am. When I was as Margaret is, I got measles, he had not gotten it; in spite of that, he came to my bed to take care of me, I advised him that he could get also the sickness; he answered me he didn't mind whenever he could be with his "little angel." He got measles and was very sick." "Furthermore, my Mom spanked him and me because he admitted me in his bed because I was scared. He found the way to be with me and avoid spanking. When your grandpa was asleep, I would jump into his bed and cuddle behind him; early in the morning he woke up and used to take me to my room before anybody could see me in his bed. As you can see, he was a good brother and I suppose he must also be a good father, he loves children." "Not me, unless as up today. I never dare to jump on his lap as I watched Joss and Nick doing it on yours; let alone I can't ask him about church or sex." "In that case do whatever you believe is best, I would be here ready to help you anytime. Do you want me to speak to him?" "No, thanks Uncle, I'll do myself if necessary, but you can bet that my life will change. I'll work harder than ever before, but I hate church. I'll do whatever I want without hurting anyone. " "That's a difficult task, my son; diplomacy is also a good tool." "Ok, thanks for your help, Uncle David. Let's continue our trip." David had very rough times with his Mom and Dad, especially his Mom when he compared his home with ours; that led to a serious rupture in his family of which we were blamed because we "poisoned his soul", according to his Mom. The real truth was that she hated us because she had loved Dad when they were young; she tried to bring Dad into her conservative way of life, Dad rejected her, arguing that he was a European citizen and not a church priest. I wonder how David did, but from that date, he came home from time to time to spend weekends, and on summer holidays at least a whole week. We never were invited to his home, so we used to celebrate his birthday the closet date of his visit to us; he always said, "This is my real birthday party." The summer went by with sleepovers, chats, swimming and a lot of love expressions between Maria and me, every day we were more attached to each other, we were as a husband and a wife, except sex that never was mentioned in spite of being in our minds. Without saying a single word about it, we were determined not to mix sex with our relationship; we parked that for later on when we were able to enjoy it. It was banned until the following year. The school started, we met our old friends and were very busy with not much time left for affection if we wanted to keep our families happy with good qualifications. Maria started learning German and she progressed rapidly with our help. The school was organized in grades as in all schools, however, the dining room entrance and sitting was in a different manner in order to get close friends with the same group of ages and concerns. Every group covered three ages; ours was boys and girls of 10, 11 and 12, which meant preteens. The entrance was ordered in perfect alphabetical order by the first surname, so normally in a table always were boys and/or girls of the same age. Six persons per table. Tables were in long rows either stacked to the wall or jointed to another one and aisles between rows. We liked the one stacked to the wall because it gave us more privacy. Our surname was at the time Mass; some years later it was changed, and Maria and Peter's Martin; Alfred's is Lopez. Yet, we were five, so a new member had to join us. The first day of the dining room, a lovely boy of my age came to our table, we were already sat down; on one side: Maria was near the wall, and then I, and Alfred near the aisle. On the other side in the same order, Nick and Peter, then the boy asked: "Excuse me, may I join you?" "Sure," Alfred confirmed. Then the boy said: "My name's John, he did not mention his surname; that was normal between boys and girls of our ages as it is today, and then Alfred continued introducing each of us. Then Peter asked: "Where are you coming from? You aren't from the village near the school, because I haven't seen you and we live there." "You are right; my village is the next one up to the mountain." Then Nick said: "Then you are a better hawk than we are." All six laughed and chatted. He had deep black eyes similar to Maria and Peter's and I noticed two pretty dimples on his cheeks when he smiled. He made some jokes and we all laughed, he was very cool and we enjoyed his company. Lunch finished and we went out until the bell called us, then he said: "This is my first year in this school." Immediately Maria said: "My brother, Peter, and I are also newcomers, so welcome to our group." I think he was a little bit surprised at our reception, and then he asked: "In that case, can we be friends?" "We are already friends, John." We went to play until the bell rang. At home we commented the incidences of the school, how it started and all the stuff regarding the new start-up and how we formed our own gang and had luncheon all together on the same table, we explained it to Mother Louise, Nick made further explanations: "Since each table is for six and we all are five, a new boy has completed the table, he is very cool and is now our friend; he was alone because it is his first year in this school. Maria told him that Peter and hers were also new and that he was welcomed to our group. He then asked whether he could be our friend, and do you know what Maria said? "You are already our friend." With that, he was very happy and started playing with us as if we knew each other for years." "That's the behaviour of good and educated persons, so I like what you all did to that poor soul, after all, Maria and Peter were not alone, but that child was. Well done my sons, you deserve a prize!" She then gave us a kiss and a hug, which was the best prize for us; we liked her a lot and anything we made, that pleased her, was the best. A few weeks passed and John became our best new friend; we talked about everything. We knew his surname was also Martin, as Maria and Peter; but that's a very common surname, so it was not so strange. One day after our return from school, as usual, we commented with Mother Louise some of the events, she then asked: "How has your new friend settled down in the school?" Nick responded: "Oh, very well; now is our best friend out of the old gang; and do you know Mother Louise? he has the same surname than Peter and Maria" "Does he? Well, that's a common surname, anyway." You are right Mother Louise, it's just a coincidence, but he has the same dark and deep eyes like my... well, as Maria; because of that, I liked him right from the beginning." Before Mother Louise could answer, Nick said: "Yes, and when he laughs he shows two nice dimples." Nick didn't add as my Peter. "Where's he coming from?" "He's from the upper village to the mountains," Nick confirmed. With that, the item was closed for us, but for Mother Louise, there were too many coincidences. Somewhere in the upper village, a similar scene was taking place; John was explaining to his mother how school was going on. "Mom, I do not feel alone anymore, I have a bunch of good friends, we sat on the same table to lunch and three of them are of my age, we are pals; two live in the next village and the other three in those expensive houses not far from the village." "They must be rich people," Rose argued. "I don't know, they never mention anything regarding richness, they seem very normal, at least with me. I'm sure Maria and Peter are the same as we are." "How do you know it, John?" "Well, they take my bus and the bus stop is close to his house; his mother must be at work because they have their own key to open the house; both are very smart. Maria is also learning German; I know it because she practices with Joss in all the free times when we are not playing." "How can this boy teach German being so young?" "His Mom is coming from Germany. I like them a lot; Maria is very pretty and both were the first to welcome me, Nick, Joss' brother, is always joking, he is a lovely friend and a very pretty boy, I feel very comfortable with them; I'm glad I found so good people in the school, I don't miss my old school at all." "That's good, I'm also very happy that you found so good friends... In all places, there are good and bad persons, no matter whether they are rich or poor. You'll have much time to know them well. Now get ready for bed, tomorrow will be again another hard day for you, my son." End of part 2
