Date: Wed, 9 Aug 2023 06:47:27 +1000 From: max dowling Subject: March Stephenson / chapter 6 Chapter 6 March Stephenson Maxieplus The water was cool again and the sweat was washed away as we waded in. He was still plump but that will go down as soon as it hits the water. We swam around for a few minutes then we sat up against the bank and talked. I was playing with him and he was doing the same to me. It won't take him long to relax into a relationship and he is learning fast. "Do you want to move in with me?" "Of course I do Nicky, but do you want me there?" "Yes, only when you are ready." "I'm ready now, May was pushing me to ask you." "I think she might get lonely." "Not my sister, she said she can stop babysitting and go find her a man of her own now." He chuckled. "She has had boyfriends hasn't she?" "Yes some, but like me, no one rocked her boat much so she's stayed single." "We had better start looking then, she needs a man in her life." "That's not the way she sees it, she doesn't need a man, she needs a lover." "Well, we had better start looking for a lover for her then." I kissed him gently and said. "She did like a friend of mine from school, for ages she mooned over him but all of a sudden she went cold. She never spoke to me about why she changed her mind but I suppose she was growing up and Jason was pretty keen but she started ignoring him too." "Jason?" "Yes Jason Atkins, you will meet him soon he's the one that moved back and did up the cottage which is much the same as yours." "Have you been talking to him about me?" "Sometimes I go for a drive and we talk Nicky but not about you, we talk about other things." "Gay things?" "Sometimes, his family moved to Melbourne and he knows gay people from there but he's not gay." "I see, so you had better have a talk to May about him." "Why?" "She told me one day that she heard a rumor that you and Jason were lovers." "She what?" "That's what she told me, she sort of thought you may be gay but when he left town, I think she realised the rumor was false." "She didn't say anything." "It would have upset you, does she know Jason is living close by?" "No why would she, he's not married and has changed so much from school he's a real gym junkie but not muscle-bound. I ask him about gay things and I am sorry Nicky I did let it slip I was in love with someone in town but I didn't say it was you." "So you are certain you love me and not my mouth?" "Yes, to both." He blushed. I kissed him again, with my tongue then I said. "Thank you." "For what?" "That great fuck, and for moving in with me." "That's okay Nicky, I like being with you, and I am going to love living with you, there's so much I don't know about the gay life, and so much to learn." "You never looked at the internet?" He blushed. "Well I liked looking at gay porn, but there's nothing like the real thing." So he does know about gay sex at least, I suppose he just hasn't practiced it. "What will I bring with me?" "Your stuff, all the stuff you will need because you will be living there. You can bring it over as you need it. But bring it all and let May have her gorgeous home back." "Nicky I wanted to ask you something." "Yes, March?" "The farmhouse furniture in the back shed at the garage, some of its antique and I was wondering if you would want any of it in your house." "Our home, and yes let me look at it for the cottage it may be perfect." "Well, I noticed you didn't have much furniture so thought about the stack I have out the back. May took some pieces but there is more. The farmhouse table for one thing would be perfect for your back porch." "I will take that any chairs?" "Plenty, but mismatched." "Even better, I will have them also." "We look first, if not I will get the antique dealer down the road in." "Anything else March?" "Can you pull me off?" "Wait until we get home, the effort would be wasted here." "No effort believe me." The smile has been shown many times over the past few days and it suits him. I tugged his dick some then I showed him my ass as I swam around. He will get more than a tug when we get back home. Two hours later we were standing at the barn doors of an oversized shed, my ass was wanting more, and I know he has plans for tonight. He unlocked the padlock and swung the doors open, it was half full of furniture stacked nearly to the roof. He pointed to the table and I said I would have it. When I looked closer it was well worn there were marks on the legs where puppies sharpened their teeth and initials carved in the top along with many scratches, this table was well used. "We can have it sanded back Nicky." "No March, if you don't mind it stays as is. If we sand it all those beautiful stories will disappear and I am going to love hearing them." He got a few of the chairs out they were the same, well worn and scratched. "How many does the table seat?" "At the last Christmas, there were eighteen of us, but mum had squashed the kids in also, maybe twelve originally." "Okay, I will have ten chairs then. Can we do this tomorrow I need to get home to cook and we also need to get someone to deliver it?" "I can do that, the truck isn't broken it's just resting. I was going to clear the shed out so I can park it in here out of the weather. I might keep it for the future its got to be worth something." "You fix it up March, stop the smoking and the noise, I believe a new head gasket and exhaust pipe will do that. Make it look a bit more respectable then shove the new one into the shed because I will only be riding with you in the old one." I kissed him before he could complain. I know it was his dad's truck for years and hiding it away would be scandalous. Anyway, it suits my March Stephenson to a T. We cooked and ate the steaks around nine, before that we were playing house in the bedroom, it took ages for him to work out what position he wanted to try. "This calendar stuff Nicky, do you really want to do it?" "Why not, it will be a lot of fun and don't forget it is for the locals, but we don't have to do it though, I'll leave it up to you." "It's embarrassing, I don't want to be someone's fantasy pinup boy." "You're already mine, and I don't mind sharing if it's only a photo I mean." "I will sleep on it." I will get it blown up and placed on a wall so I can look at it when he's not around. He had a second steak and more salad was produced, and I watched him eat. Then after we showered once again, we cuddled up and were asleep in minutes. It had been a big day and he had a full day tomorrow. I had forgotten all about my lacework but restarted the sanding after he left for work. Three pieces down and I already knew this was going to be a four to a five-month job. Hopefully, March will fix the truck up, it was already well used and we can cart it to the sandblasters, which gave me another thought. After I measured it up and talked to them again I agreed to their new improved fixed price, they will pick it up tomorrow. It seems that they aren't very busy this month. I will still have to rust-proof and paint it but I got a better price this time. I put my running shorts on and started down the road I needed to talk to May and watch my boyfriend work. "Hi, Nicky." "Hi May, coffee please, and two more bags of tea." I lifted my arm and then I circled my body. "I'm impressed." "So am I dear friend." "He's ordered the new muffler and is taking the head off now to replace the something or other. What have you done to my brother, a job like that would take him a year to get around to." "He thinks I hate the new one and want to be driven around in the old one." "There's no air con or heating Nicky, why would you want that?" "Because he loves it, it's his dad's." "His dad's farm truck, he drives it not because of dad but because he was too lazy to go get a new one." "Well, I will make sure he stores it in the big shed for the future then." "That big shed has furniture in it." "I will take some, and look after it for you both. That should empty some of it and there is no need to sell it, are there any nice beds in there?" "Sure is Nicky, it all will look very nice in your cottage. The table is badly scratched though." "Just the way I like them, genuine farmhouse, with a written history." I grinned. "You have already seen it haven't you?" "On our way home late yesterday we popped in." "Take all you want, but I will give you a heads up, don't cram your cottage with old furniture, get some new stuff for the family room it will be a bit more comfortable and brighter." "You can help me, and if I am doing it wrong let me know." "I will." "Now, what kind of men do you like?" "What?" She laughed. "Men, you do like men don't you?" You cant be sure nowadays. "Of course, don't interfere, Nicky, please don't get involved I am still looking." "You sound like your brother." "We are alike Nick, just leave all that to me." "Okay but if I trip over someone you wouldn't mind giving him the once over would you?" "Well no, but I would like to trip over him first." "I already have, his name is Jason Atkins." "What do you know?" Her eyes were now slits. "Not a lot May, his name came up last night we are going to see his cottage at some stage." "Where in Melbourne?" "No two towns over, I believe he's been living there the past year or so, on his own." "No wife?" "Apparently no wife, and he's a straight gym junkie." "How do you know all this?" "Your brother mentioned that you had a thing for him at school." "School girl crush Nicky nothing happened with him." "Because you thought he was gay, he thought you were cold." "Maybe, please don't mention it again Nicky." She was blushing. March walked out and saw me then he went and washed his hands and came over the road. He kissed me on the lips, May wasn't fussed she was very happy he was happy. She went off to get a pie and coffee for us both and he took my hand. "I haven't got much stuff Nicky, just bathroom gear and a few clothes." "That's okay March, I guess you don't need much up here." "No just work clothes and some summer stuff, my winter stuff is stored in the garage, windcheaters and stuff." "When the ironwork disappears tomorrow we can bring all that over too, it will need washing before winter comes." "What do you need to do at the house first Nick?" "The ensuite then the kitchen. We need to have a bigger shower." He blushed because he has had the same thought. "Did you say the ironwork is going tomorrow?" "Yes, I did a good deal with the sandblaster, he dropped his price and will even pick up and deliver. All I have to do is rust-proof it and paint." "Good, more time for me I think." "Well at the moment it's urgent, but it will settle down once we get into a rhythm." "I don't want it to settle down." He grinned. "Okay, we don't settle down then, let's party plenty." He laughed as May came out she was smiling. "That announcement has got the ladies all hot and bothered." "What announcement?" "On the local page, Brenda has indicated a certain local runner and grease monkey may be featured in this year's calendar." "Many comments?" "Plenty." She smiled again. "What time are you shutting up today March?" "Around two Nicky, will I pick you up?" "Yes please, I have some more beating to do." "Nicky, that's a bit forward." May laughed. "Beating overalls May, they are nearly perfect but I need a few rocks to belt them on." March laughed and he leaned over and kissed me again. "Well it looks like you're all sorted out brother, so I officially hand you over to my friend here." "Thank's sister and I am going to be very happy to go with him." I felt so special, something Matt never made me feel, he leads I followed, scratch my ears, Matty. I read the comments when I got home and there were plenty, so many hot ladies in the area but once again their comments bordered on saying it but not quite. `I want to fark March Stephenson' I didn't mind and did get a few comments directed my way, this is his town and I suppose those ladies have been waiting for ages for March to appear in their yearly calendar. I grabbed the overalls and put them in a plastic bag, then I waited on the front porch for my man to pick me up. He was on time and was wearing his biggest smile when he saw me. I jumped into the truck and it cruised onto its parking spot. "Have you done all the urgent jobs?" "Yes, Nicky only three cars booked in tomorrow." "March, does the garage make good money?" "Yes it does Nick, and it's the farms that spend the most. I have a big job on Friday out at the old farm, it's good money but too many memories." "Stick to business March, don't look for the past it isn't there anymore." "Well when I did the family room I felt like I was destroying my childhood, I felt so sad because both mum and dad passed too early and I tried to keep it going, I tried so hard." "You did your best March, that's all anyone can do. Maybe farming wasn't your thing you did have help though?" "Yes I had plenty of help but unfortunately no business sense, I was bleeding money from every corner of it." "And the garage?" "I get by, there isn't many overheads, and if I keep doing the specialist thing I won't need to buy all that expensive computer stuff." "Trust fund?" "Plenty but we don't touch it, it would be like robbing mum and dad's graves." "I see, so you need to have the garage cleaned up a bit, get rid of the dust, and maybe repaint outside, but you don't need any more business?" "I am cruising along fine Nicky, don't worry about it. And anyway I thought you didn't want to change me?" "I don't, but dad hit on a nice little earner for you. He thinks all those signs and garage stuff you have shoved up against the wall should be shown, he also said that they would be worth a bomb if you had a mind to sell them." "I didn't think of that, but I don't have time Nicky and I don't know what I am looking at, I was just going to take it all to the tip." "Do you need an assistant to do it for you?" "I don't get along with assistants, the last and only one walked." "I mean me silly, I can clean up the signs and place hefty prices on them. That way if they sell you get more room. And I might just sweep the floors occasionally." "Keep it real Nicky, you said that all that stuff is part of me." "Can I be your coffee boy then?" "Are you looking for work?" "Not really, I just thought you may need my services now and then." "I can come home." "I suppose you can." I smiled. "Let's go, the waters waiting." And so was his dick. I fixed him up the usual way, with overalls down to his ankles and shorts around the knees, he stopped me from touching myself and when he filled my mouth he got on his knees and returned the favor. He is getting very good at this. I stripped and while he jumped in the river I beat the crap out of those overalls on a big rock. He was watching me so I flexed my muscles a bit just to give him a good show. "So this is where you are hiding." I heard a voice and jumped into the river laughing. Jim and Hank were coming through the trees, and here we are stark naked. March's hands covered his private parts, I still held the overalls and laughed. "Sprung." I reached over and grabbed March's shorts then handed them to him. The men did exactly what I expected them to do they stripped naked and I got an eyeful of some beautiful bodies, not to mention man parts. They jumped in and splashed around. "Why are you here?" "Because you are not at the other one and we wanted to see you." March moaned again. "I will be seeing you tomorrow." "It couldn't wait we needed to see Nicky also," Jim said. "Ummmm." He struggled to put his wet shorts on because I knew he had thrown a woody. Jimmy is very nice but Hank was my type, rough and a shape to die for. "We missed you Nick, is it because you both are now a couple?" I looked at March and to his credit he said. "Yes were are a couple now." "Good about time March, how are you enjoying the gay life?" "So far so good Hank, and don't ask." "Ask what March Stephenson?" "For a foursome." He laughed his head off and Hank put a sad look on his face and answered. "We weren't going to ask March, we were just going to take it anyway." I looked at a laughing Jimmy there is no way he would ever share that man with anyone, and I know March's feelings. "What have you got lined up for me tomorrow?" "The thrasher is acting up again, we will go with the new part. I doubt whether you will be able to save the old one March. It means it will be out of action while it's in bits." "I already have the new part it can be fitted in an hour. I figured after the last hiccup you will need it soon." "Great, thank you, that will save a few days of waiting around. The other one is the tractor needs another service." "It's old get a new one." "We like the old one." "Get a bloody new one I can't keep it going forever and it's bleeding your bank balance." Hank laughed and I suppose March is right but they had three tractors I counted when I was there, maybe I could buy the old one and make garden art out of it. They swam around a bit and I did the rocks again then explained why I was doing it. They played kissed and fondled until they were almost having sex right in front of us. I like a good show but March insisted he had to get back to work so we left them to it. I promised I would ring Ethan and make another lunch date. He didn't bother going back to work we just went home and made out on the sofa. Luckily I didn't have to make that lunch date because Faith rang me later in the afternoon and invited me for lunch tomorrow, she said while March was at her place we could have a catch-up. I could update her on all that's been happening since we last met, two weeks ago. I looked at March he was very quiet so I told him what Faith had done, but he wasn't listening. "What's wrong?' He looked up at me. "Out with it." I insisted. "Nicky, did you and your ex ever have someone else with you, like a foursome or threesome or something like that?" Bingo. "He tried but I wasn't interested. I am a one-man person, if a bit of naked eye candy was around at a pool party of course I would look, but no, we never went there together." I lied. "What do you mean about together?" "He did plenty of that sort of stuff behind my back, it was humiliating for me, but I kept saying to myself I loved him. March they were only joking today there's no way they would be into all that stuff." "Well, they had no right to be so suggestive, not in front of you because that makes me look weak. I wanted to say something but I didn't know how to handle it. Nicky, are all gays like that?" I sat on his knees facing him and looked into his eyes. "No my lovely man, some of us have personal pride, but it's okay to fool around if you're single or have made a pact with your partner. It's something we have to discuss further, but not now. I love you March Stephenson, and this is one of those times I could eat you all up for being just you." He started smiling but soon lost that and went quiet again. "You are being paranoid, there's no way I would cavort around them naked let alone join them in a romp. They are great-looking men, but your better, so much better." He leaned in and kissed me thoroughly, we ended up on the rug and he was heading for my butt. He did start laughing halfway through. "His dick is huge Nicky "Whose, Hanks?" "Yes, you don't mind if I looked?" "Of course not, I was looking too but he's not as big as you are." He smiled and thrust on. When he finished he looked dreamily at me and said. "Let's eat I'm starving." I had cooked a pot roast on the slow heater, it came out beautifully. We ate and sat at grans small table and looked into each other's eyes. "I love you." He said. I blushed. "Same here, head over heels. Do you want me there tomorrow?" "Yes, she is a good cook, and they might corner me in the barn and do unspeakable things to me." "Then I will protect you always March Stephenson." "They had no right to disturb us today." "It's a free country, but I will fix it." "How?" "I will tell them not to go there, it's our place." "Really?" "Yes really, sometimes you have to be blunt and they will understand. They have already discovered my old spot and I bet they use it a lot." "Good because it's our spot Nicky." I finished my meal and he was looking for more, he handed me his plate and I scraped the pot dry. In the morning he was already up when I woke, breakfast was waiting and as I sipped on my tea he served me. He was being very daring today he only had an apron on so I sat there with a stiff wanting to do unspeakable things to him. "What time are you going to the farm?" "Around nine-thirty, I will have to swing by the garage and get that part." "I will take my car, just in case I have to leave early." "Have you got something on today?" "No, just thought I might get a start on dinner." "Faith will have that organized Nicky she always gives me some leftovers." "Okay, then I will come with you." "That's better." "The deposit for the house has cleared March, we can start on the renovations when you are ready." "I will need to get some money out of the trust to pay for half this house Nick." "No need baby, I don't own it." "What?" "My dad owns it, it will eventually come to me but at the moment there's no rent just the upkeep, so we are good." "So I will do the renovations for free." "I will pay you the agreed price, let's not start giving money away. This is business and a good investment. I am sure if we make it as a couple dad will leave it to the both of us anyway. I need to pay you March please don't work for nothing it will make me feel like a user." "Then we go halves, I won't charge you for my time just the outgoings." "Deal, whatever you want to do, shit the sandblasters are coming today I forgot." "Do they have your number?" "Yes, they are going to ring me when they are on their way." "We better hurry Nick, we can stack it outside for pick up." "But I have to be here." "Nick this is the country ring them and tell them you have an urgent appointment they will pick it up anyway if we leave it outside." "Are you sure?" "Of course I'm sure. I have lived around here all my life. Give me the number I will ring them." I handed over my phone and he went into business mode. With that fixed, I showered and dressed and we worked our butts off stacking it outside the garage. He said they had expected there to be no one home, people have to work so they do it all the time. He drove us to the garage and then to the farm where we got a family reception, the ladies wanted to know when the photo shoot was happening and the men wanted March to start on the shredder first. He had the part and grabbed his toolbox, I watched as he struggled into his old overalls and I felt a loss, those awesome holes are going to disappear when the new ones are used. Hank and Jimmy apologized for their behavior and they did confide in me they were using my old swimming hole. I said they could call in but not every day we had things to do. They understood and were mainly there to have a giggle with March, they knew he would be mad at them. Faith grabbed me and made me sit in the kitchen, she passed a big bag of peas to me to shell. I sat and listened to the family history and how happy they all were here. I told her March was going to start on my renovations soon and I was happy. "So you are a couple now?" "Yes, Faith but can you keep it to yourself we aren't ready to tell the world yet." "Why not you love each other, why hide away?" "I am leaving the announcement up to March, he's new to all this and is still settling in." "Right, I get it no gossip will be coming from this household, I promise." "Do you want the beans done?" "Yes please." She took the peas and placed the beans on the table. She was smiling at me then she had a break and made us a coffee. "I will make some scones soon for their morning tea, but first tell me how Jim and Hank are going." "How would I know?' "You're gay, do you see any problems?" "Not one, they are in love Faith and they are really into being together." "Good, I don't want either of them to be harmed. And I did hear a terrible statement from Jimmy last night." "Was it about yesterday at the river?" "I did hear......" "Then you heard wrong, nothing went on just them being the ratbags they are, you see it all the time here. They love to stir the pot, especially Hank. Quite frankly it did us good and March had many questions for me when we got back home. Things he's wanted to talk about but didn't feel he could. The boys were well behaved so what you heard was all bull." "Then you weren't doing your washing in the river because I heard you were bashing your sheets furiously on a rock." "What?" She roared laughing and added. "I will start the scones, want to cut them into rounds Nicky." I couldn't help myself I laughed off and on all morning. This family will never be sad or isolated, they have such a good sense of humor just like my parents who I have to ring. I helped Faith, and the scones were huge, she whipped the cream and got the jam out. There was a small plate of ham and cheese and plenty of butter. "Ham and cheese?" "Yes, Hank is fussy." She laughed again. March was called before the others these scones are to die for and you have to be quick, so I was ordered to put one aside for myself. He came up all dusty and turned the garden hose on and washed up. Hank was next and he rushed to get his ham and cheese before anyone else pinched it. The others were getting ready to wash their hands. He came up to me and kissed me, something I thought he wouldn't do but I guess he is feeling more comfortable. Jim kissed Hank also seeing March started the trend. "Now you boys have one and a half hours before lunch so don't overdo it on the scones." I think that was an order. I got a phone call and walked away the sandblaster had just picked up the iron and are on their way back to the foundry. I told March and he was pleased we didn't have to do all that ourselves. He then helped Faith clear up the plates, he followed her into the house and after some time he came back all red-faced. "What happened?" "She wants me to buy you a new washer." He laughed. It was a great day and we saw all the animals and I played with the horses for some time. I was offered free lessons but declined them that was when March stepped in. Of course, he can ride a horse he can even teach me if I wanted. I told him the only horse I wanted to ride was him, Hank overheard us and I stared at him. "I said a horse, not a pony." He laughed his guts out. We ate heartily and got some leftovers for dinner then Ethan gave March a cheque and we left. It was so hot I nearly flopped into the water fully dressed. He didn't get his romp today I was too busy cooling down but he understood he was the same. "Your new overalls are ready March they are folded up in the hallway cupboard." "Good do you want me to throw my old ones out?" "No, I want to keep them." "What for?" "Sexual fantasies baby." "Oh, I see." He didn't have a clue, but I will have him creeping around in them at some stage, maybe making those holes bigger. It was all panic stations the next day, He was called into work early, an important job to be done on an old Holden sedan that the owner had sold but when he went to drive it he broke down. March had to tow him into town to get the thing fixed and ready for the new owner to pick up tomorrow morning. He said by the sound of it a seal had perished and needed replacing, it was leaking oil. It was a nice day to start with I thoroughly checked him out in his new overalls, they were lovely and soft and ready to be oiled up like the others. I placed the old ones in the linen press for later usage, also one pair went into his office at work just in case the photographer turns up unannounced. Mum rang shortly after and said they were coming for a drive I said more likely I will be sitting outside Mays cafe if they wanted to go there first. I showered and put my sexy running shorts on the ones that were split nearly to the waistband on one side so I put the white jock on for good measure, just in case he didn't see me the first time. I ran up the road with that small backpack, I needed to get some tea and some bread rolls. we didn't eat last night we were too full, so we can have it in a roll tonight. Just roast beef and veggies, that will fill us. The show was on when I got there he was ranting and raving but I couldn't see him. "What's happening now?" "I think the car that is urgent isn't an easy job, by the sounds of it." "Leave this to me, I will have a coffee thanks May." I walked over to the door and looked inside, I am cautious because I did hear he had the knack of throwing things around. "Is it safe to come in?" "Yes, Nikky of course it is." He had a car part in his hand and it was covered in oil. "Oil pump six hours work and fiddly, there's a seal inside that needs replacing, so a full rebuild." He sat down in his office chair and started searching the web. "If I can find a reconditioned one that will save me time, but they are costly." I smiled and walked over to the car it was in perfect condition he had draped blankets all over where he had been working on it. I took my phone out and rang dad. "Dad how are you with rebuilding oil pumps, it's on a holden EH?" "Really, well blow me down." "See you in half an hour then, I have spare overalls." I walked back to March, he was still looking on the web." "Found anything yet?" "Plenty but can't get my hands on one until tomorrow, I will have to drive to Melbourne Nicky and inform the owner it won't be ready until well into the evening." "Well rest easy I have called in the cavalry, come and have a coffee with me." "I can't Nicky I am too stressed and busy." "Come with me lovely man, I have news for you." As we walked out a car pulled up and a man got out. "March thank god you are here can you do a quick service?" "Well I am really busy Norton can you come back tomorrow?" "I wanted it done today." I could see March struggling to say no so I took a deep breath and said. "He's too busy Norton, you will have to come back or he will do a crap job. You don't want this beautiful baby conking out on you mid-cruise." "No of course not." he looked at March again. "Still can't do it until tomorrow, sorry." March blushed. "Okay, the day after then I'm busy tomorrow." He looked me up and down and as he walked away he muttered. "Bloody secret swimming holes and new boyfriends don't make for good business March Stephenson." "But they sure do take the edge off a busy day Norton," I yelled back. "Now coffee." "Nicky I don't do that to my customers, I could have done it later on tonight." "Then we couldn't have time together and look at me I got all dressed up for you too." He took a double take and said. "I haven't got time, fuck that's so sexy." "It will still be there waiting when you do have time, but in the meantime please feel free to browse." "I should have done Norton's car." "He will be back, and anyway you have to put a stop to people just turning up expecting you to drop everything, you need to take bookings and stick to it." "I haven't got time." "I have." He didn't know it but I had worked in the service department at dads premier garage during my school holidays I understood the need for bookings and if I can remember I was pretty good at organizing them also.
