When You Least Expect
By Josh Blake

Chapter 48

As we got ready for bed, I could tell Braden was deep in his thoughts.  He
hadn't said much since Colton and I had told Braden and Hunter about the
brief romance we had nearly twenty years prior.  I knew Braden well enough
to know that his silence was a sign that he was unhappy.

"Babe?" I asked as he went into the bathroom to brush his teeth.

"Yes?" he asked.  He wasn't happy, and I could tell.

"Babe, what's wrong?  You aren't mad at me about Colton, are you? That was
nearly twenty years ago.  You were still a little kid, not much older than
Jack.  How can you possibly be mad at me about that?"

"You could have told me," he said.  "I just always thought I was your
first."

"Babe, I was in my early thirties when we met.  You didn't really think I
had been a virgin until then? I told you that I had been with a couple of
guys and had hookups sometimes."

"But you didn't tell me you had a full-blown relationship," Braden said.
"What else aren't you telling me, Josh? Is there anything else I need to
know? Maybe you were married before.  Or did you have a girlfriend that got
pregnant?  Do you have a kid somewhere I don't know about?"

Braden and I rarely fought, but we could have some pretty decent arguments
when we pushed my buttons just right.

"Dammit, Braden!" I yelled.  "You know damn well that I haven't hidden
anything from you! I didn't tell you about Colton because I barely counted
it as a relationship! It only went on for a few months, and then he dropped
me! What was I supposed to tell you about that?"

"The truth!" Braden screamed.  "The fucking truth!"

"I can't deal with you when you're like this! I'm going to the guest room!"
I shouted, leaving the room and slamming the door.

"Josh?" Mom called up the stairs.  "What is all the yelling about?"

"Nothing, Mom.  Go back to sleep." I said.

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Braden and I had a fight.  It's nothing.  Now go back to bed," I said,
closing the guest room door behind me.  I crawled into the bed, leaving the
light on.  I felt the tears start to stream from my eyes.  I felt as
vulnerable as I had felt years earlier when Colton had dumped me for the
exciting college life.

I heard a soft knock at the door.  I didn't answer, but the door opened
anyway and closed behind whoever entered the room.

"That was some fight you guys had," Lucas said, coming into the room and
sitting on the side of the bed.

"You guys heard that?" I asked, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand as
I turned over.

Lucas laughed. "The whole house heard it!  It's good that Jack is staying
with Mark and Bonnie tonight."

"I fucked up," I said. "I should have already told him about Colton.  I
honestly just put it out of my mind!" I was sobbing again.  Lucas pulled me
close to him.  I could smell his cologne as he held me.

"Braden will come around," he said.  "We all know you didn't do anything
wrong, and he'll see it, too."

"Isn't this something," I said, wiping my eyes with the back of my hand.
"All the times I held and comforted you, and now you're doing the same for
me."

"I always told you I'd be here for you when you got old and needed someone
to take care of you. And here I am," Lucas said, smiling.

"Asshole," I said, laughing a little bit.  "I love you, Luke."

"I love you too, Dad," he said.

Down the hall, a similar conversation was taking place between Austin and
Braden.  After the fight and the slamming doors, Lucas and Austin decided
they better see what was going on.  Both of them had a good idea that it
had something to do with the revelation that had been announced about the
relationship that Colton and I had briefly as teens.  Austin said he'd
check on Braden while Lucas came to talk to me.  After a few minutes of
helping him reflect on the situation, Austin had convinced Braden that he
had acted unreasonably and that I would never intentionally hide something
so important from him.

After continuing to talk for a while longer, I eventually fell asleep in
the guest room bed.  Lucas slipped out to rejoin Austin in the room down
the hall.  I awoke sometime later to feel someone crawling into bed with
me.  At first, I assumed it was Lucas returning to check on me.

"I'm fine, Luke; go back to Austin," I said.

"Shhh.  Go back to sleep." It was Braden's voice instead.  He wrapped his
arms around me and spooned me from behind, snuggling into me.  I wanted to
say something, but sleep overtook me again before I could.

The next morning, I awoke to find Braden still in bed with me.  He was
awake and was staring at me.  I started to speak, but he put his finger on
my lips to stop me.

"Before you say anything, I was wrong.  The fight last night shouldn't have
happened.  I said some awful things to you, and I'm sorry.  I love you with
all my heart, Josh.  I don't think I could stand it if anything happened to
you, and I know you'd never hurt me.  I'm sorry I hurt you," Braden said.

"I'm sorry, too," I said.  "I should have told you about Colton.  I guess I
tried so hard to forget about him and how he made me feel during that time
that I pushed it out of my mind.  I never meant to hurt you or keep
anything from you."

"I know, babe," Braden said, kissing me on the lips.

"I wish Colton had never come here with Hunter.  Every time he comes into
my life, he causes problems," I said.

"There is something that bothers me," Braden said.  "Colton was willing to
drop you when he got to college so he could chase some ass.  Can Hunter
really trust him?"

"I hope so," I said.  "I don't think we need to say anything else to
Hunter.  If they are truly happy, then let it be.  As for us, I don't want
to see him again if we can help it."

"I'm fine with that.  I love Hunter, but something about Colton doesn't sit
right with me.  They're going home today, so we won't have to see him
again," Braden said.

The next few weeks were mostly calm and quiet around the house.  Braden and
I were working a lot, and Jackson was taking karate lessons after school.
We were all busy!  Mom had been managing all of the housework, but it was
too much for her. After our friend Brodie took a full-time job, we tried
out his younger brother Jordan to give mom a little extra help.  Jordan was
a sweet guy and tried hard, but he couldn't keep up with Mom, and he didn't
hold a candle to Brodie's work in the house.  He felt the same way, so we
parted ways with no hard feelings.  We didn't have anyone to hire
immediately, so we were left with Mom trying to do everything.  She didn't
complain, but it was clear that she needed help, especially with another
baby on the way.

Braden and I had put some feelers out through social media. We were looking
for someone who either had another job and wanted something on the side or
perhaps a student who needed flexible work hours. We set up interviews for
potential candidates on a Saturday when Braden and I would both be home.

After interviewing several people, we hadn't found anyone who seemed to fit
the job well.  Finally, an applicant that we both liked came in for an
interview.

Jesse was 23 years old and a college student.  He needed a little extra
money to help pay child support for a child he fathered when he was 18.
Jesse was your typical southern boy.  He was about 6 feet tall with sandy
brown hair, broad-shouldered, and was filling out his Wrangler jeans quite
nicely.  He had experience with housekeeping from working in a hotel a
couple of years earlier.  He met all of our requirements, plus he was cute!
It would be nice to see him around the house!

"Jesse, this isn't a trick question or anything, but are you sure you're
okay working for a gay couple?" I asked.

"Oh yeah," Jesse said.  His southern drawl was thick.  "I told you I found
your ad on social media when I called.  It was on the gay one."

"Oh, I didn't realize that," I said.

"Now, I'm not completely gay," Jesse said.  "I like the ladies.  But I've
had my share of men, too.  I guess I'm what you'd call bisexual."  He
winked at us.

"I see," I said.  I looked at Braden, and he nodded his approval.  "Jesse,
we'd like to offer you the job. I will run a background check since you'll
be working in our home.  I'm sure you understand."

"I sure do, Mr. Patterson," Jesse drawled.  "When can I start?" He flashed
me a smile, and I noticed that his teeth were perfect and sparkling white.

"I should have the background check results by the middle of next week.
Let's go ahead and say that you can start the following Monday if that
works for you."

Jesse was agreeable and filled us in on his school schedule.  He was
majoring in accounting at one of the local colleges.  He would be able to
be at the house by 11 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and by noon on
Tuesday and Thursday.  The plan was for him to work until early evening
each day.  Mom was agreeable to that, saying she could manage breakfast on
her own.

Jesse's background and reference checks came back clear, and we were happy
to have him start working for us.  Being a father himself, he took to Jack
immediately.  Jack was excited because he had a new pal around the house in
the afternoon.  Mom praised Jesse on his household skills and said her back
was doing much better, thanks to his help.

I would sometimes notice Jesse's eyes lingering on either Braden or me.
When we would catch him, he'd wink and show us one of his dazzling smiles.
Braden and I began to wonder if Jesse might be up for some of the same fun
we used to have with Brodie when he worked for us.  As luck would have it,
we didn't have to wait long to find out.

One Friday evening, Mom had gone with Bonnie and Mark to have a
grandparents' night with Jack.  They were going to eat dinner and then see
a late movie.  Since they would be home so late and Mom didn't like to
drive after dark, she and Jack would spend the night with Mark and Bonnie.
Braden and I were excited to have a little fun having the house to
ourselves.  Even Savanna was out with some friends for the night.  Before
she left, I gave her a stern look.

"I know," she said.  "I'm pregnant, so no drinking.  You don't have to
worry."

Jesse usually left around 6:00 on Fridays.  He'd help Mom with dinner.
Sometimes he'd stay and eat with us, but he usually left to go do homework
or see his son.  Since Mom had left with Jackson, Braden and I were going
to grill some steaks for ourselves, but we wanted to wait a bit later.  I
hadn't seen or heard Jesse in a while, so I assumed he had left when Mom
did.  We didn't realize that he was actually in the basement cleaning
Savanna's living area.  While she was good about keeping up with her own
housework, being very pregnant had slowed her down quite a bit, and Jesse
didn't mind helping her.

We had just had a hot tub installed, and we were going to enjoy it despite
the summer heat!  I had reduced the heat to a reasonable level so we could
relax without passing out.

"Are you wearing your swimming trunks for what?" Braden asked, coming out
on the patio as I adjusted the heat control.

"Why would we do that?" I asked.  It's just us guys, and the backyard is
private.  I turned around, unbuttoned my shorts, and hooked my fingers in
the waistband of my underwear.  I allowed them to drop, kicking them off
across the patio toward Braden.  That left me standing naked in only a
shirt.  I threw it off and also threw it at Braden.  Catching the shirt,
Braden folded it and hung it over the back of a chair.  He also picked up
my discarded shorts and underwear, folding them and placing them in the
chair.

"Works for me," Braden said, shucking his clothes and giving me a great
view of his moderately hairy body.  His uncut cock wasn't yet hard and was
hanging limply over his balls.

"Let's get in," I said.  I climbed into the hot tub and sat in the water,
immersing myself in the bubbling warmth.  I held out my hand for Braden,
helping him keep his balance as he climbed in and sat down beside me.
Braden snuggled into me, and soon we were engaged in some pretty intense
kissing and groping of our bodies.  We didn't hear Jesse until he was right
there on us.

"Looks like things are heating up out here," Jesse said in his deep,
Southern drawl.

"Fuck," Braden gasped, pulling away from me on impulse. Once he realized it
was Jesse, he relaxed a little.

"Jesse, we thought you were gone," I said, removing my hand from Braden's
cock under the water.

"I'm about to be," he said.  "Gotta go pick up the little dude from his
momma."  I noticed Jesse's eyes focusing on us.  I could also see the front
of his jeans starting to puff up more than usual.

"It's a shame you can't join us," I said.  "The water's fine."

"Yeah, it feels real nice," Braden said, picking up on what I was doing.

"Hmmm.  I s'pose I could text Heather and tell her the bosses are keeping
me late.  I can get little man in the morning," he said.  "Assumin, that
is, that y'all want me till morning."

"I think that's a good assumption," I said after looking at Braden, who
nodded with approval.

Jesse took his phone out of his pocket and sent a couple of texts.  A few
minutes later, he was back on the patio.

"She ain't happy, but that ain't nothin' new," he said.  "Y'all sure you
want this?"

"Definitely.  Now strip and get in," Braden said.

Jesse started by pulling his t-shirt off over his head.  We are treated to
the sight of his well-formed abs, which were coated with a light dusting of
hair that was the same sandy brown hair on his head.  He had a decent
amount of chest hair, but his pits were full of hair.  My mouth watered as
he lifted his arms, exposing his hairy pits.  He threw the shirt down, then
unbuckled his belt.  Leaving his belt hanging, he unfastened his jeans and
slowly lowered the zipper.  Jesse was wearing white Calvin Klein briefs.
As he paused to kick off his sneakers and pull off his socks, I noticed
that his briefs barely contained what looked like a huge cock.  The jeans
soon fell down his legs, revealing their moderate hairiness.  Braden and I
were both on edge, waiting for the reveal as Jesse hooked his thumbs into
the waistband of his briefs.  Just as they were coming down and exposing
his neatly trimmed, brown pubes, he turned around.  He continued pulling
his underwear down, this time revealing his muscular butt.  The minute I
saw it, I knew I had to eat it.  Then Jesse turned back around.  My jaw
dropped as I gazed upon his manhood.  He was already semi-erect and was
already pushing seven inches.  We would later find out he topped out at
nine and a half inches when totally hard with at least six inches in
circumference.

As Jesse climbed into the hot tub, Braden and I moved apart so he could sit
between us.

"Are you sure you're good with this?" I asked.  "We don't want to coerce
you into anything."

"Does this look like you're coercing me?" Jesse asked, standing up and
waving his hard cock around.

"Fuck! I said, reaching out and grabbing it.  I could barely fit my hand
around it! It was like holding a beer can.

"Stand up," Braden said.  "I need that in my mouth."

Jesse stood up and moved in front of Braden.  Braden took the hard cock
into his mouth.  I could see his lips stretching to accommodate the
enormous member.  With Braden occupying Jesse's front side, I wanted to get
a taste of the rear.  I stood and moved behind the younger man, grabbing
his pert bottom with a cheek in each hand. I squeezed his cheeks.  Kneeling
down, I could see a fine dusting of brown hair on Jesse's ass.  I could see
darker hair lining his crack.  As I used my hands to part his cheeks, I
could see that more hair surrounded his hole. I leaned in, inhaling his
strong scent.  My cock went rock hard instantly.  It was a manly aroma and
a pure aphrodisiac to me.  I couldn't resist.  I dove in with my tongue,
devouring Jesse's ass.

"Fuck man, I'm probably too ripe for that," Jesse said.

"Josh loves a ripe ass," Braden said, pulling off Jesse's hard cock long
enough to speak before going down on him again.  I grunted in
acknowledgment as I ate his ass out with a passion.

Braden continued sucking Jesse's cock while I expertly rimmed his beautiful
ass.  Before long, all the action had Jesse close to blowing a load.

"Fuck, I'm gonna nut if y'all keep that up. Damn. I ain't been serviced
like this since I don't know when," Jesse exclaimed.  With a grunt, he soon
filled Braden's mouth with his cum.  His asshole pulsated on my tongue when
he came.

Jesse collapsed onto the seat next to Braden.  I took my place next to him.

"Shit!" Jesse exclaimed.  "You two sure do know how to take care of a guy."

"We have lots of practice on each other," Braden said.  "I'm going to get
out and get a beer.  Who else wants one?

"I sure do," Jesse said.

"Me too, babe," I added.

Braden got out of the hot tub and grabbed a towel.  He dried his torso and
legs before wrapping it around his waist to go into the house for the beer.

"That's some guy you got there," Jesse said.  "Sure wish I could find
somebody to settle down with."

"You will," I said.  "You looking for a guy or a girl?"

"Probably a girl," Jesse said.  "Don't get me wrong; this shit is awesome.
But I'm just playing around.  I really want a girl to settle down with."

"You'll find someone when..." I started.  I was cut off by Braden running
out the back door frantically.

"Josh! Get out of the tub!" Braden exclaimed.

"What's wrong, babe?  Is it Jack?" I asked, already standing up and
grabbing a towel.

"No, it's Savanna! She's in labor!" Braden yelled, holding up his phone to
show missed calls and texts.

"Shit!" I yelled.  "It's too early!"

"Well, it's happening, so let's go!" Braden said.
