I park the truck in the driveway and follow the boys up the stairs and
inside the house. Max is hanging out playing a video game so Eric runs
over to him and sits on the sofa next to him resting his head against his
side. I really like how Max has gotten comfortable being here, he's just
sitting on the sofa in a t-shirt and boxer briefs, so if he doesn't rid
himself of me today I'll have to see if he's going to finally get
around to moving in with me and Henry.


I look down at Henry, he looks a little drained after that experience so
I walk him down the hallway to the master bedroom and close the door
behind us. I kneel down in front of him and ask "how are you feeling
sport?"


He gives me a shrug so I know something is bothering him, I place both
hands on his shoulders and sternly say "spit it out, what's on your
mind?" He looks like he's about to cry and I wonder if I was too stern
but he finally looks at me and says "I really tried to be strong but it
hurt a lot and I couldn't stop from crying." I just shake my head and
try to give him a reassuring smile as I tell him "there's nothing to be
upset about, if you're in pain it's ok to cry" he interrupts me saying
"but I was trying to make you proud of me dad!"


I squeeze his shoulders "listen to me clearly because I should only have
to say this once, I will always be proud of you no matter what" he looks
at me wiping tears that are starting to fall down his face "I mean that
Henry, you are the most special boy I've ever known and having you
around has been the greatest thing to happen to me." He throws his arms
around me tightly "do you mean that?"


"If I didn't I'd be an asshole for saying it, now answer me, are you
in pain now?"


He shrugs so I let out a deep sigh and he can see I'm getting
exasperated so he says "I'm really sore." I squeeze him tightly to me
and tell him I'll draw him a warm bath in the big bathtub and let him
soak in it for a little while as well as get him an ibuprofen or
something to help with the pain.


"Can Eric use the bath too" he asks. I smile at him and say "of
course, it's big enough for both of you." I walk into the bathroom and
get the water warmed up then let it begin to fill while he climbs in and
gets comfortable.


I go into the living room and tell Eric I'm getting bath going for Henry
and asks if he wants to join, he looks to Max who tells him to go on and
enjoy. He runs down the hall to the bedroom then I turn to face Max.


"So I just wanted to let you know" I begin but he smirks at me and says
"yeah you fucked Eric, I know." He sees the surprise on my face then
says "he told me while you were in the other room with Henry."


I just nod my head "that little shit is loyal to you isn't he" but
I'm not even upset or anything, I'm actually impressed with the kid. He
was worried Max would be mad but felt he needed to be honest with him.


"He was worried you'd be upset with him" I say as he interrupts "I'm
not" so I continue "I figured you wouldn't be, even told him that you
would probably be angry with me."


He shrugs and says "not really" which surprises me then he continues
"I like you a lot and I love Eric but I know the kind of man you are. I
do appreciate that you didn't offer him to the school coach though."


"So he told you everything" I ask rhetorically, he nods his head so I
let him know "I told the coach that Eric is off limits and made sure he
understood."


"Thanks for that" he says, then picks up the controller going back to
playing a video game.


I walk over and sit down next to him putting my arm around his shoulder,
he doesn't recoil or show any signs of being upset which actually makes
me nervous. I feel like I shouldn't care what he thinks, he knows who I
am and how I operate but deep down I do care about him and what he thinks
of me.


I sit there watching him play the game, after about ten minutes or so he
starts to shut the game down, then looks at me and says "probably should
check on the boys."


We both walk down the hall and hear the giggling and laughing as we enter
the bedroom. Max walks in first, stops and turns to me as I come in the
doorway to find water and soap bubbles everywhere. The boys look at us
surprised but smiles then Henry says "sorry, promise we'll clean it
up."


"Looks like you boys have been having fun" I say as I walk to the side
of the tub and crouch down "don't apologize for having fun Henry" then
grab his head and shove him under the water for a second before letting
him go.


He flies back up above the water and yells "DAD" then starts giggling
and laughing. I stand back up, when I turn around I see Max watching the
three of us smiling, I smile back at him and ask "you alright?"


He shrugs then turns and walks out of the bathroom. I tell the boys to
finish up, clean up all the water on the floor then turn and head out. I
find him sitting on the edge of the bed so I take a seat next to him.


"Ok what's on your mind" I say prying.


"I'm just really impressed with how good you are with the boys,
especially Henry" he looks at me and smiles "he's changed a lot since
you met him and all good too."


"How so" I ask more curious to see if he sees what I see.


"He was so quiet and a bit shy at first, now he's more confident, more
assertive and you've brought that out in him. He needed a strong male
figure in his life otherwise the path he might have gone down well..." he
shakes his head and says "I don't like thinking about it."


I put my arm around him and pull him close. "I don't like thinking
about it either. He's a good kid, Eric too really and I think they're
good for each other..." I chuckle a bit then say "Eric's good for you
too buddy, that kid really adores you."


He smiles at me but I sense now he's ready to rip me a new one and sure
enough "so why do you enjoy fucking him so much, you know I don't like
it but you keep doing it."


I give a weak shrug then look at him saying "the boy needs it, I can
sense these things and I know you can too which is why you wanted to be
alone with him that day you two met, the day we met. He needs a man in
his life and that lucky little shit has two that love him very much" I
ponder for a second then continue "it's more enjoyable to fuck a kid
who wants it than one who doesn't. Henry and Eric want it, their
appetites are insatiable and so is mine. I'm not trying to disrespect
you or anything like that, I just love fucking those boys."


I see him nodding his head, a slight grin on his face he looks at me "no
one can ever say you're not straightforward" he sighs "I'm not angry
I just..." he trails off for a second thinking so I interject "you just
want Eric to yourself." He softly nods his head in agreement. "What if
that's not what Eric wants?"


He looks at me shocked "did he say that?"


I pull him close to me "Max, he doesn't need to. Don't get me wrong
the boy adores you, he needs you in his life but the only way to describe
it is that he's eager to please and not just one man; the boy yearns for
cock."


He starts shaking his head refusing to believe it. "Boys his age are
curious Max, you have to understand and acknowledge that and you need to
let him explore. He's like a kid in a candy store, one cock isn't going
to be enough for him. He will always want yours but he's going to want
to try others."


He stands up and paces next to the bed, he knows I'm right and I
understand his want to keep Eric to himself; I've been there but I have
a better understanding of boys than he does.


He lets out a huff "he's too young to be passed around like some kind
of sex toy."


"Max" I groan "that's not what I'm talking about, I'm saying if he
wants to explore like Henry has then you should let him but he shouldn't
do it alone, he will need someone there to keep him safe and that should
be you."


Just about then Eric and Henry come walking out of the bathroom, hair
still damp, both with towels wrapped around their little waists. They
look at us curiously I think able to sense the tension in the room, Eric
just walks over to Max and wraps his arms around the mans waist and I can
see him practically melt.


He wraps his arms around the boy picking him up to him, holding him to
his chest. I can tell he really does love the boy, it's clear in the way
he holds him, talks to him, cares for him, even how he fucks him.


He carries the boy out of the room down the hallway to the living room
and sets him on the sofa. I tell Henry to get dressed, that I think they
need some alone time and that will give us time to ourselves as well.
Once he's dressed and I've changed out of my uniform we go to the
living room where I tell Max we're going out for a bit, I can see he's
appreciative so once Henry has his shoes on we head out to my truck.


*****

I'm still reeling at what Dan is suggesting, that Eric wants other men,
how the fuck would he know that unless the boy said something. Eric
isn't Henry, he doesn't have Dan's constant influence pushing the boy
to be more sexual, more open to sex with other men and the deviant
activities that he enjoys; Eric is special, he's not like that no matter
what Dan thinks.


Once Dan and Henry have left, I find myself alone on the sofa with Eric,
a chance to talk to the boy and hopefully see what he really wants. I
look down at the boy, his face sweet and still full of innocence, I brush
his damp hair off his forehead then pull him close to me.


"Is everything ok Max?" He asks.


"Yeah buddy, I just wanted to have some time alone with you to talk
about something important."


I let him go then shift on the sofa to face him, he looks at me curiously
waiting to hear what I want to discuss. "So I'm not mad you played with
Dan in the coaches office but he said some things that I wanted to ask
you about. Is that okay?"


He looks a little more nervous now but nods his head affirmatively. "No
matter what I ask I want honest answers, I won't be mad or upset, I just
need to hear you say how it is you feel about what I ask okay?" He bites
his lower lip while nodding.


"Did you enjoy it when Dan played with you today and the coach
watched?"


He shifts in his seat, this question obviously making him uncomfortable
and I see him looking down at the ground. "Eric, I want you to be honest
when you answer."


"I do like it Max" he says softly.


"Do you know why you like it?" I ask.


He shrugs but then says "I like the way he looks at me, like you look at
me."


I stroke his hair again "so you like the attention but do you think you
have to play with us for that attention?"


He looks up at me a little less scared, now more confident "no Max I
like playing with you both even if it hurts sometimes I really like you
and Mr. Parker, Henry too and I like when we have fun together."


Such a sweetie I think to myself "ok so Dan said you might be interested
in playing with other men, are you interested in that?"


He seems a little more emboldened to tell me what he's thinking, maybe
because he sees I'm not getting upset he says "Henry says it's fun and
that mens things are all different and fun to look at and they taste
different. I want to try it like Henry does."


So he wants to be more like his friend, doing what he does. "Are there
any other men you know that you want to play with?"


He looks at me a little more serious now "I don't want to play with the
coach, Henry said it hurt a lot and he wasn't as nice as you are when it
hurts."


I've come to the conclusion talking to him I won't stand in his way, if
he wants to mess around with someone I will be ok with it. Like Dan said
I will be there with him the whole time to make sure he's safe and
doesn't get hurt.


"Ok Eric, I think those are all the questions I have. If there's ever
someone you want to play with that isn't me or Dan I want you to be open
about it and tell me. I don't want you doing anything with someone else
by yourself. If another man tries to play with you alone you need to get
out of there and come tell me or Dan okay?"


He nods his head "are you afraid they'll hurt me?"


"Very much Eric, there are men out there that enjoy that and I don't
want to see you get hurt okay?" He hugs me tight "thank you Max."


I hug him back but then he floors me "would you be upset if I wanted to
let Mr. Parker spank me like he did Henry in his downstairs room?"


I let go of him pushing him back so I can look him in the eyes "did
Henry tell you about that?"


He nods his head again, now seeing my shock he looks scared again that I
might get mad at him. "Why do you want to do that" I ask astonished.


He just shrugs then looks down at the floor so I lift his chin back up
facing me "it hurt Henry a lot and even Dan said it upset him to see
Henry in pain like that, I don't think you know how bad it can be."


"But I want to try it" he says quietly "I can take my teddy with me
like the last time we played."


Fuck this kid is killing me and I finally see Dan is right, he wants to
please, he wants to try new things even knowing it could be painful for
him but I'm not sure I can agree to letting him go through what Dan
would put him through in that room.


"I'll have to think about it" I tell him but he looks at me and I see
a flash of indignation as he barks "why won't you let me try it?!
You'll be there to keep me safe!"


"Eric, sweetie, of course but why are you so determined to do this?"


He stands up stomping across the room and yells "because Mr. Parker
helps me cum!"


I'm taken aback by his anger and shocked he knows what that is. I guess
being around Dan it shouldn't be surprising but then I think back to all
the times I've been with Eric, as I do I hear Dan's voice in my head
`rule number one, make sure the boy gets off too.'


I'm certain I do, I replay it all, shit! I failed him, I can only
remember a few times I've helped the boy get off and not even recently.
Has he been going to Dan for his release, to Henry.


I get up and cross the room grabbing him, pulling him to me "I'm so
sorry Eric, I was so focused on my pleasure I forgot to make sure you got
it too." I don't know what else to say but he seems less angry now,
instead he's pouting.


"I still want to let Mr. Parker spank me, he wouldn't hurt me."


I want him to understand so I tell him "Eric that room is all about
causing pain, I don't think you understand that."


He crosses his arms over his chest and stomps his foot "I don't care, I
want to do it" he shouts and I'm shocked this sweet boy who has been so
quiet and passive is suddenly so defiant. I realize I will have to let
him find out for himself, that is if Dan is even willing to go through
with it, I will be there for him to comfort him during and after whatever
might happen.


****

I took Henry out to a store to do some shopping while allowing Max and
Eric some time alone. I end up spending more than I probably should but
Henry is thrilled at his haul; toys, posters, new bed sheets and pillows,
a bluetooth speaker, a small TV and a tablet. When we get home I  text
Max asking if everything is good, he replies `not really but come inside
we should talk'.


That doesn't sound good but I turn the truck off and help Henry unload
what we can carry. When I open the door Eric is excited to see his friend
and then sees the bags we're carrying. I hand mine off to Eric so I can
go get the TV and a few other things. By the time I get everything to his
room the boys are already tearing into the various toys. Max is standing
at the door, he's smiling a little and so am I because it is nice to see
them so happy and having fun with one another.


I turn to him and he motions for me to follow him so I close the door as
I walk into the hallway and we head to the living room. He sits on the
sofa and asks me to sit with him, his mood is somber so I take a seat and
ask what's wrong.


"Did you tell Eric about your room downstairs? He says Henry did but you
never mentioned it right?"


"No, why do you ask?" I'm wondering how much Henry told Eric now but
what Max says next shocks me. "Eric wants you to take him down there and
spank him like you did Henry."


I can't help but raise my voice "are you for real!?! Is that boy
insane?!"


He seems a little relieved "so you don't want to then" but he's
watching my face and must see what I'm thinking because he shifts
quickly "or do you?"


I feel awkward discussing this because I know how he feels about this
side of me but I'm honest with him "can't say the thought hasn't
crossed my mind but I wouldn't do it unless both of you were okay with
it."

He just shrugs and says "well he wants to do it and if I don't let him
I'm the asshole" he shakes his head and I feel for him, I see he's
exasperated and wonder what happened while we were gone but then he tells
me "the kid pitched a fit when I told him I'd think about it, stomped
his feet, yelled at me... what the fuck am I supposed to do?"


I'm shocked that Eric would do that, he's always so sweet and gentle so
I tell Max "the boy doesn't have a father, he needs someone who will be
one to him and that means discipline."


"He's not my kid Dan, it's not my place to punish him." I just shake
my head then yell "ERIC! HENRY! Get your asses out here right now!"


"Dan don't" but I can already hear the sounds of their feet running
down the hallway. They both appear in the entry to the living room,
concerned looks over their faces as I turn to face them "both of you get
in here right now!"


Henry looks at me "what's wrong dad?"


"Did you tell Eric about what happened between us downstairs? In that
room I told you not to talk about?"

He hangs his head down, looking at the floor so I have my answer but I
order him "answer me boy!"


He looks up at me "I'm sorry dad, we were just talking and..." but he
sees my face and immediately stops, turning his face back to the floor.


I turn to Eric who is cowering, more fearful about my yelling at Henry
until I address him "Eric" I shout sternly, he turns his face to me and
I can see he's ready to cry "did you yell at Max? I would suggest you
not lie." He nods his head, "did you throw a tantrum when he told you
he would think about what you discussed?" He shakes his head so I crouch
down in front of him "I warned you not to lie" I start as he interrupts
"I swear I didn't throw a tantrum Mr. Parker!"


"Did you stomp your foot and yell at Max?" He wipes his eyes now crying
then looks down at the floor "yes sir."


"Both of you wait here" I shout as I leave the room. I walk to the
bedroom and retrieve a belt then walk back into the living room. Henry
sees it and starts to cry, "I'm really sorry dad."


Max tries to object but I tell him they need to understand that running
their mouths about private matters and throwing tantrums are unacceptable
behavior. I tell both boys to bend over the edge of the sofa, Max
approaches me trying to convince me not to do this, "they understand,
they're scared Dan let's just drop it for now okay?"


I reach my hand out, "take the belt Max and discipline Eric." He shakes
his head, "Dan I can't" so I step closer to him "Max this isn't a
request, take the belt and discipline Eric."


I press the belt into his hand, he takes it from me then looks at Eric
bent over the sofa, his body shaking as he cries. "Please Dan, why
don't we put them in timeout or something" he begs as I step in behind
him "Max you're not going to abuse him, you're going to do what a
father should do when his child acts like a brat." I can hear him
swallow hard as he pulls his arm back then turns his head to look at me,
hoping I tell him to stop but instead I nod my head for him to proceed.


`THWACK' the belt strikes Eric's behind sharply causing the boy to
squeal from the sting. It's not as hard as I would have done but the boy
got the message. I order him "again Max" then he rears back, another
loud thwack as he strikes the boys butt, surprisingly harder this time.
His hand is shaking, hell his whole body is shaking and I can tell he's
on the verge of tears. I reach around him placing my hand on his, "I'll
take the belt now Max."


He releases it as I pull it back towards me. "Eric! Stand up and face
us!" The boy straightens up and turns to face me and Max, tears
streaking down his face. "Do you have anything you want to say?"


He looks up at Max, wiping his eyes then nose as he sniffles "I-I-I'm
s-s-s-sorry M-Max" he whimpers. I can tell Max is about to take the boy
in his arms and comfort him but right now that's not a good idea so I
tell Eric "go to Henry's room now, we'll be in there when we
finish."


He nods his head then runs down the hallway, Max looks at me somewhat
annoyed so I tell him "you can't keep babying him, especially when if
he acts like that he needs to understand that won't be tolerated."


I approach Henry and ask "do you know why you're in trouble son?" I
see him nod his head, his body shaking as well as he cries knowing
what's coming. "Tell me" I demand, he turns his head towards me
"because I told Eric something private."


"That's correct Henry, so answer this, do you think you deserve to be
punished?"


He nods his head "what do you think the correct punishment is son?" He
lets out a soft sob then says "the belt dad." I move into position
behind him then smack his ass harder than Max did to Eric, a loud thwack
fills the room; I pause for a moment, then one more strike on his ass
causing the boy to yelp from the stinging.


I tell him "stand up Henry and face me" when he does I don't have to
ask the next question as he blurts out "I'm sorry dad, I won't say
anything I shouldn't ever again" then tries to hug me but I step back.
"I want you to go to your room with Eric, both of you should think about
your actions."


As he walks down the hall I follow him then enter the room behind him
followed by Max. Eric is sitting on the bed against the wall still softly
crying but doesn't say anything, instead looking down at the bed. I
motion for Max to grab the TV which is still in the box while I grab the
box with the tablet and the tell Henry to gather the toys.


"I'm taking these for tonight, I will give them back tomorrow
understood?" Both boys nod their heads so I say "it's getting late
anyway and we should all be getting to bed soon."


Once everything is in the hall closet I walk back in the room asking
Henry and Max to step outside and let me speak with Eric alone. Once the
door is shut I sit on the edge of the bed beside him resting my hand on
one of his legs.


"Max said you want to see the room downstairs, to have me spank you like
I did Henry" I look at his face but he doesn't give me an affirmative
or negative answer so I say "did you like getting the belt?"


He shakes his head no "well Eric, what I did with Henry was far more
painful than the belt and it can go one for much longer, so... do you
still want to go down there."


He doesn't answer as quick as I had expected instead he seems to
contemplate so I turn to him and say "Eric punishing you is not fun for
me or Max, but if I take you to that room I will be a different person
and I often enjoy what I do down there to little boys like you so think
about it tonight and tell me tomorrow if that's what you want."


I'm about to stand when he jumps up and throws his arms around my neck
"I'm sorry for being a bad Mr. Parker" he says softly, still a shake
in his voice so I hug him back and say "it's okay Eric we all have our
moments, just don't let that become a normal thing but remember it's
Max you need to apologize to. He didn't enjoy having to punish you but I
think he understands from time to time that may have to happen unless
you're well behaved."


He leans back and gives me a weak smile "I promise to be a good boy." I
run my fingers through his soft hair and tell him "you are a good boy"
then lean in giving him a soft kiss on his lips.


I stand and walk to the door opening it, Henry is standing in the hall
with Max so I crouch down in front of him "you promise me you'll keep
our personal business between us?" He nods his head furiously so I reach
out pulling him into a hug I tell him "I love you very much." He
squeezes me and says "I love you too." I look up to Max "go on and
comfort Eric now" I tell him; he practically bolts into the room and I
can hear him softly speaking to the boy as Eric profusely apologizes for
his behavior.
