Date: Thu, 30 Jun 2022 01:45:07 +0000 From: David Lee Subject: Internet Bromance, Chapter 4 - end Internet Bromance, Chapter 4 Back at their cottage, the men were deciding on what to do before it was time to go to bed. Drew suggested that he could teach the rest how to give a massage. Bart volunteered his body for the demonstration. Drew had him strip to his underwear and lie on a blanket on the floor. Drew also took off his shirt and shorts. He began by kneeling in front of Bart and working his shoulders, arms, and back. Then he moved to straddle Bart's waist. Again, he rubbed Bart's back as he progressed toward his butt. Next, he massaged Bart's left foot and continued up to his glutes pausing at the top to stimulate his balls from behind. Bart's moans of appreciation let him know that he was doing a good job. He repeated the process on the other leg before having Bart turn over. Bart was somewhat timid about lying on his back because his boner was obviously trying to tear its way through the fabric of his skivvies. He was afraid he might embarrass his son. Chris broke the tension by saying: "Way to go, Dad!" and Bart grinned at his son's assessment of the tool that had helped give him life. Drew worked over Bart's arm muscles again as he knelt toward Bart's head. It was relaxing and non-sexual, so Bart's dick settled down to half-mast. But when Drew straddled Bart's waist from the front and massaged his nipples, Bart's erection arose again. Drew sat back slightly to tease it with his ass. Then, starting at Bart's toes, Drew kneaded Bart's legs from the front side. He spent most of the time toward the top, stimulating the inside of Bart's thighs and occasionally brushing his balls. By this time, everyone had a throbbing hardon to rival Bart's. The other guys were also oozing precum every time Bart moaned or sighed. The younger men were ready to put their lesson into practice when Drew got up and helped Bart to his feet. "We're going to finish this in private upstairs. I think you can take it from here without my demonstrating the pleasures of using your tongue and lips. I'm sure you've seen enough porn to know what to do. If not, simply follow your instincts!" Bart wasted no time climbing to the loft, practically dragging Drew with him. The young men downstairs stripped completely as Kevin attempted to replicate what he had seen Drew do. A few minutes later, Bart announced his orgasm with moans and gasps that left no one in doubt. The guys in the room below chuckled. It made Chris especially hot to hear his father cum. He loved knowing that his dad was on the receiving end so much enjoyment. As the men in the loft rested a few minutes, they were greeted with Chris's vocal sounds of pleasure. They were like a younger version of his father's. Drew felt his cock jump in empathy. By that time, Bart was rested enough to return the favor. He massaged Drew about the same time Chris was working on Kevin. It didn't take Kevin long to reach his climax. He had been throbbing all the time he was stimulating his lover, so he was already getting close. The noises that Kevin made when he came took Drew over the edge too. He had been attempting to make it last a little longer as Bart ran his tongue and lips the full length of Drew's dripping cock. Drew echoed Kevin's ecstatic outcry as he pumped a larger load than he thought possible (considering all the times his system had been drained that week). "Damn, you guys are sexy!" Drew called down. "No more than you!" Kevin answered. All four of the men giggled like school kids as they traded a few more horny comments. Eventually, the lovers settled down for the night cuddling in the afterglow. This was male bonding taken to a new level! ---------- Bart and Drew had spent a restful night at Drew's condo before departing for Florida. They planned to stay overnight in Chattanooga, Tennessee to break up the trip. It would be a long day of driving, but it would put them more than halfway toward their destination. They had made slow, gentle love the night before leaving on their trip. Drew sensed that Bart was becoming increasingly anxious over the drive home. He didn't talk about it, but the tension in his shoulders spoke louder than words. Therefore, Drew repeated the massage demo he had done at the lake. Only this time, the guys stripped each other and shared a long hot shower first. Bart was so relaxed by the time that he reached his climax that Drew urged him to go to sleep. Drew was feeling fulfilled by the experience of pleasuring his new lover. Cuddling together was sufficient for the moment. -------- After a quick breakfast of cereal and coffee, the men got underway very early the next morning. They planned to stop to stretch their legs and possibly have a snack before lunch. The weather was good and traffic fairly light as they began the two-day journey. Drew had brought along his laptop so that he could check in with his business from time to time. At the last Iowa rest stop, he logged onto the free wireless. There was a short note from Chris and Kevin saying how much the enjoyed the cottage alone on the last night. There was mention of how versatile the kitchen table was. That gave Drew a big laugh. Whether or not Chris had taken his lover there, he certainly had a great sense of humor and could give as good as he got. Bart was more relaxed since he did not have to drive the whole distance alone. The time passed more rapidly when he could visit with Drew or take a short nap while the latter was behind the wheel. He did check his company email account on the way. However, there wasn't any emergency situations which need attention. Therefore, he remained at ease. His whole life was beginning to feel stress-free after his vacation, despite whatever fallout might come from his family after he came out. ---------- On the last leg of their journey to Florida, Bart became more talkative than he had been the day before. "I've made another decision about the direction of my life. I AM going to sell my dealership to one of my competitors who has made a generous offer; plus guaranteeing that Chuck can stay on as long as he wants to. The deal will give me enough to cover a settlement with Beth and still provide me with sufficient funds to see me into my old age. I won't retire right now because I can still get a job somewhere. However, I don't want to be in the position I'm in now with the worry over new car shipments and all. Also, I can relocate to where you live if you still want me." "Of course, I want you! This is going to be even better than I imagined. To think, a couple of years ago we couldn't imagine that our dreams could be fulfilled. Now, it's like wow! Santa and the tooth fairy have teamed up to bring us happiness and I don't have to lose any teeth." ---------- Chris had said that he was going to break up with Mindy before coming out to his mother and brother. After he did that, it would be Bart's turn. He thought it might be easier for his father if he sort of paved the way with his own confession. He went to see Mindy right after she got off work. He didn't want her to stress over it all day and figured that would be best. She expressed her regret that he didn't think they'd be compatible in the long run, but she took the news better than he'd feared. He was soon to learn why. "I've been offered a promotion which will necessitate a move to Chicago. I've held back on my decision because of you. Now it looks like it might be a good opportunity for me. We'll both be free to pursue our lives. I'll always remember you fondly." "I'll always feel that way about you too," Chris smiled. ---------- Coming out to his mother and brother wasn't quite as smooth, but it wasn't a terrible experience either. Beth's first concern was about Mindy's reaction, but she was relieved to hear that the breakup had already taken place without anyone's heart being broken by it. Chuck said that he wasn't surprised and hoped Chris would find happiness. He thought that same-sex relationships weren't as stable as heterosexual ones and worried that Chris might get hurt. When he found out that Chris had already made a connection with an old college buddy whom he had known for years, he also felt better. "You're the happiest I've seen you in several years, Son. I hope this vacation will have the same effect on your father. He's been so stressed out of late. It's beginning to get on my nerves. I've been wondering if he'd be happier if we went our separate ways. Is he having a midlife crisis? What do you think?" Beth asked. "I can't speak for Dad. He has talked about selling Holub Motors to Mike Jacobson. If he did, that family would own a high percentage of dealership in the area. You'll have to ask him what's going on." Chris sent a quick text to his father letting him know how things had gone and saying that the road ahead looked good for Bart as well as for him. Since it was still early in the evening, Bart decided it was as good a time as any to make his move. He arrived 15 minutes later. "Oh good, everyone is here," he said when he entered the house. "I have several things to say and I don't want to put this off any longer. "For much of my adult life, I've been living a lie. Had society been more open when I was growing up, my road would have been a different one. Of course, I'd be without my two sons whom I love very much. "Beth, I've always cared for you, but I need to explore the side of me which I've suppressed. I want you to understand that it has nothing to do with you. The fault is all mine -- how I am inside." "Let me guess; you're gay like Chris is." Bart merely nodded. He didn't trust his voice at the moment. "Well, that explains a lot of things," Beth went on. "I know you don't have any control over your nature. I hope you'll find true happiness." "That's it? You're not going to lash out at me?" "No. If you were in love with another woman, I might have a chance to fight for you and keep you. But I can't compete with your inner being. You've always been a good person and a devoted father. We need to find a way to part amicably." "I'm going to sell the dealership. After taxes, we'll have about two million to split plus the stocks and bonds we've accumulated over the years. If we can do it without each having a lawyer, I think we can save a lot of money." "That's smart. There's no use fighting over it. You've always been generous. I'm not afraid of being cheated." "Thanks! I'll be staying with Chris while it's all being sorted out." "Um, may I say something while we're all together," Chuck said. "Are you angry with me?" Bart asked. "No. I just want to share some good news while we're all here. I've asked Carrie to marry me. We'd like to have a small wedding on the beach in the fall." "Congratulations!" everyone said at once. Chuck's announcement brought joy to the household, especially to Beth who would have something new to occupy her mind. ---------- "Drew, you're not going to believe how things went!" Bart exclaimed as he called his lover before leaving the driveway. "Beth is okay with getting a divorce. She seems to understand that I cannot go on living as I have. Chuck has accepted his brother and me, and he's getting married in a few months. There's nothing standing in our way now." ---------- Now that things were progressing, Drew decided to call his children to break the news to them that he'd found a soulmate. He was pleased to find that neither of them was upset, and that they wished him happiness. That brought him a lot of relief. It looked like a smooth road ahead. ---------- It might take a couple of weeks for Bart to wrap things up in Florida before going to join Drew in Iowa. Drew was going to make flight reservations so he could return home when the week was up. Chris came up with a plan which would save the expense of a plane ticket. He would drop Drew off at his home on the way to Wisconsin where Kevin needed to clear out his apartment and pack up the things he wanted to keep. With three drivers, they could make the trip on one shot without having to stay over anywhere on the way. That would save additional money. As a teacher, Chris was always watching his finances. Kevin was too. They wouldn't be strapped for cash since Kevin had already been interviewed and hired in the same system where Chris was teaching. They would stay in his apartment and share rent expenses as well as being able to drive to work together most days. They would be a lot better off financially then they'd been in the past year. In some ways, two could live nearly as cheaply as one. ---------- Drew was happy to be back in the swing of things, but he missed Bart like crazy. He hoped that Bart's business dealings wouldn't take too long. In the meantime, he had other problems to occupy his mind. New cars were still a scarce commodity because of the lack of computer chips needed in their manufacture. Fortunately, he had a backlog of newer used ones which he'd purchased during the pandemic when a lot of people worked from home and decided to give up one of their vehicles rather than to pay insurance on something which sat idle in the garage. Now that things were opening up again, some of those same people were facing an expensive used-car market. Though he didn't want to cheat people, he was bound to make money. Added to his other worries, his sales manager quit to take a less stressful job in another profession. Drew had to fill in because he didn't have anyone else who was experienced enough to take it on. When he texted Bart about his predicament, Bart could empathize. He'd run into personnel problems during the "great resignation" too. He offered to come to the rescue, immediately. The sale of his dealership had gone through, and the only thing holding him in Florida was deciding what possessions he wanted to keep. He volunteered to take over the job until Drew could find a replacement. Drew's problem was solved. ---------- When Bart arrived at Drew's condo, their reunion was almost like a second honeymoon. Sure, some of the excitement of a new love affair had subsided. However, their relationship was evolving into a comfortable domestic one. They didn't need to have a new thrill to keep them entertained. By the time the leaves began to turn in September, they felt like they'd been together for a lifetime. They would still have months to go before they could be legally wed, but that didn't concern them. They knew that they were committed to each other without having a piece of paper to prove it. Bart enjoyed being involved in car sales again and asked if Drew would keep him on. Of course, the answer was yes. It looked like their online affair was turning into a permanent one. Ah, the miracles of modern technology. --------------------------------END------------------------------------ Author's notes: Thanks for reading this story.
