CHAPTER 2

The rest of that weekend at my brother’s house passed in a blur. There were eight of us who sat down to Sunday Lunch – my parents, my brother and his wife, my three nephews, and me. The noise around the table seemed to rise in line with the food and drink being consumed. Afterwards, there was a huge pile of washing up to be done by Ben and me. The kids were spread around the house and garden, playing various games, arguing, coming in for more snack foods, and generally enjoying themselves.

I wanted to check how Mark was feeling after our ‘encounter’ in his bedroom – but I didn’t want to make a big deal of it, or push myself onto him if he wasn’t ready to talk. We caught each other’s eye a few times during the afternoon and evening, as he looked and smiled towards me but there was no opportunity for a more private conversation. Once I saw him adjusting his trousers and I had a momentary thought about the state of his penis; after so much excitement, it was possible he was feeling sore if his foreskin had not returned to cover his glans yet.

Eventually, the family atmosphere wound down. My parents said their good-byes and Ben drove them back to their home in Carlisle. Debbie sent Mark, Jack and Charlotte off to their rooms. We collapsed on the sofa. I decided to go up to bed shortly afterwards. It has been a pretty exhausting day, all things considered. I thought I might have another wank on the bed, replaying the tape of what had happened with Mark but I fell asleep within a few minutes.

Next morning I was up earlier than usual. I needed to pack up my things and get back to my apartment in Leeds. I’d made arrangements to see some friends later that day, and on the following day I’d booked train tickets to London to go and stay with some other friends for a few days and visit some galleries and shops. As I packed my bag, I looked around Mark’s bedroom – partly to make sure I’d not left anything, and also to fix the memory of Mark’s things in my mind. I was aware of my growing obsession with this adolescent boy and I reckoned he would be featuring in my fantasy imagination for quite some time. I’d seen his semen in the bathroom next door and I’d found his cum-rag in the bedside drawer; I’d watched him shooting a load when we’d been alone together in the house. This room was his private space and on the evidence, the place where he most often experimented with pleasuring himself.

I chatted to Jack and Mark at the breakfast table but again there was no opportunity for more private conversation. After I’d loaded the car and was preparing to leave, everyone gathered on the drive to wave me off. I hugged and thanked my brother and Debbie for making me feel so welcome. I gave Charlotte a big swing around with my arms which she seemed to love. I knocked fists with Jack who picked up this trick from some film he’d been watching and copying. I gave Mark a big wave and a smile.

As I climbed into the car, Mark came around to stand by the door as I was about to close it. “Thanks very much Uncle Steve. You know, for coming and making it a fun weekend. It’s been great having you to stay. Maybe I’ll see you on Facebook or send you a message to let you know how I’m doing.”

“I’d like that too, buddy,” I replied with a big smile. “You’re welcome to be in touch with me anytime.”

And with that, he closed the door on me and gave me a big smile and grin as I backed out of the drive and away down the road. Was he just being politely friendly – or was he trying to convey some kind of message to me?

Hi Uncle Steve,

Hope you don’t mind. You said it was ok for me to be in touch with you. I found your email address on dad’s laptop. This is Mark here in case you couldn’t work it out. This is my Gmail account which is private. It was great having you here last week. I don’t really remember too much about you from before you went to live in Asia. You’re younger than my dad and a lot more fun. Maybe that’s because you live on your own and only have to think about yourself. Dad’s always talking about his work and his responsibilities. Sometimes that just seems so boring.

We went back to school on Monday this week. I’ve got tests and exams to do next month. Mum tries to make me study more, but it’s hard to do that after school when the evenings are so light and the weather is good. Did you have a good time in London with your friends?

Thank you for the advice you gave me. About you know what. I was using the cream but then I went to the chemist and found some oil. It’s really good and slippery. It makes it very easy. I’m doing what you suggested and practicing – in the shower, when I go to the toilet and when I masturbate myself. It’s getting a lot easier. Hope I’m not doing it too much. I don’t want anything to fall off.

Hello Mark,

I loved getting your email. I don’t know if you’re writing it on your computer or your phone but I’m sure you know to be careful in case anyone else reads your email or steals your phone and hacks into your accounts. I guess there are some things you want to keep private.

Yes, I had a great time in London. We went to see a new exhibition at the British Museum, and I also went to the Tate Modern gallery. Some of the modern art I like, but I can’t understand a lot of it. London was really busy with lots of tourists everywhere.  I went to some gay bars with friends that I hadn’t visited since I was a student. It was fun and busy. We enjoyed a couple of nice meals out in restaurants but London is very expensive now – especially for someone who is used to Bangkok prices for food.

I’m glad if my suggestion was helpful. Yes, oil will be good – just make sure it is as plain as possible without any chemicals or additives. You could try looking for coconut oil or massage oil. These are quite easy to buy. You might not want to do this, but you could also look in the section of the chemist’s shop (or the supermarket) where they sell packets of condoms. Alongside them you will find some tubes of ‘lubricating’ gel. They mostly have brand names like KY or Durex; Boots make their own too. These products are designed for lubricating yourself during sex so they will work too. But most oils are pretty good – though some can be greasy or sticky after a time. Have fun! You can’t do it too much. If you feel sore for a time, it will probably make you rest and recover for a time. That’s the body healing itself from too much attention. And no, nothing’s going to drop off! Like I said, you can’t do it too much – and your body keeps making new sperm to replace what you use. Be good, have fun.

Love from Uncle Steve

Hi, hi, hi,

Yesterday our team did really well – we won both our matches and now we’re second in the league on goal difference. You should have seen us. I scored one of the goals. It was terrific and the coach said we all did a great job.

It must be great to be in London. I’ve only been once, and that was when I was much younger so I only remember things like Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament and Tower Bridge. I hope I can go there again soon. I heard about gay pubs but I don’t know anything about them. Were you staying with friends who are gay as well? Or maybe you have a boyfriend in Leeds now. You told me you had a boyfriend in Bangkok, but I don’t remember if you said you were dating anyone in Leeds.

Last week one of the girls at school asked if I wanted to go out with her at the weekend. She said I looked very cute and all her friends thought so too. It felt strange. I mean, some of my friends go around with girls but this girl wasn’t anything special. So I told her I was busy. She’s OK I suppose, but I hadn’t noticed her before and I didn’t want to be bothered with her really.

I went into Boots and saw the tubes you mentioned, but everyone was looking and I didn’t think the assistant would let me buy something like that, so I pretended I was looking at the contact lens solutions on the next shelf. But I found some massage oil in the supermarket and that feels great when I use it.

Next week my school test’s start. Yuk. Hope I get through them OK.

Hi Mark,

It’s been really busy in the school where I’m working. Now it’s the weekend and I can reply to all your news. We are doing tests and exams in our school too next week. Congratulations on scoring your goal and doing so well in the league. Maybe I’ll be able to come and watch you play next time I come and visit you all.

I remember being quite confused about friends and dating and going out together when I was at high school. I did have a girlfriend for a year or so – just someone to hang around with and go to parties and school dances and things. She wasn’t really a ‘girlfriend’. You remembered well; I better be careful what I say in future! I did have a couple of longer-term boyfriends when I was living in Bangkok. One guy had to go back to the village where his family lived to look after his sick parents and I never saw him again. I was very sad after he left. Then later I found another boyfriend. We met up online and then arranged to meet each other. His name was Chai and he was very sweet. He was a student and worked really hard. He lived close to his university in some accommodation with other students. We used to get together when he had a day off and we would go into the city together. A few times we managed to go to the beach or one of the islands together. I missed him when I came back to England. He still writes to me sometimes.

Since I came back to live in Leeds, I’ve met up with some of my friends from before, but right now I don’t have another steady boyfriend. Who knows? Maybe one day!

Love from Steve

Hi Uncle Steve

It’s me again. Hope I’m not bothering you writing like this. I like hearing from you and reading what you have to say. It doesn’t feel like you’re my uncle. That makes you sound like a much older adult. The way you are with me is more like a friend – only someone who has a lot more experience of the world because of all the places you’ve been, the things you’ve done and the kind of people you’ve met. It’s really interesting listening to you. You’re not like my teachers or my dad (even though you are his brother – hah!)

It would be great if you could come to our matches and support our team. I’m sure that would help me score more goals. When are you coming to visit us again? It’s mum’s birthday next month – you could come for that. And not long after that, it’s my birthday too.

I got a big shock last Sunday. It was in the morning and I was in my bedroom minding my own business. Well actually I was doing you-know-what with myself. He-he. I was using my new massage oil and just taking my time to make the feeling last as long as possible. My brother was using the toilet next door. He doesn’t normally come into my room, but on this occasion he rushed in through the door and saw me. I didn’t have time to pull back the duvet or anything. He just caught me wanking. I think we wanted to borrow my tennis stuff or something. I shouted at him for bursting in like that. But he looked at me and asked what I was doing. I didn’t want mum or dad to come up and ask about all the noise. So I told Jack to close the door. Then he asked me what I was doing again. I think he knew really. I told him I was jacking off – and that every boy did it. He nodded as if he understood. Then he wanted me to continue so he could watch what I did. He came up close to the bed. I told him he couldn’t tell anyone else or I would kill him. He promised. So I pushed the duvet back down and started again. Do you think I did anything wrong Uncle Steve? What would you have done if Jack caught you like that?

He wanted to get close and look. Then he asked if he could touch it. I had to show him how to hold my cock in his hand. He started to jerk me but not really like how I do it to myself. I got pretty excited then and started to shoot. When he saw the first shot he let go immediately and jumped back. I had to finish myself off. He wanted to know what it was so I told him about spunk and stuff and how it would happen to him pretty soon. He kind of looked at me to see if I was joking. Then he said his willy was getting bigger, but not as big as mine, and that quite often he got hard, and that other boys in his class were talking about spunking.  I showed him some of my spunk and told him not to tell anyone again, ‘cos they might get mad at him and me. He said he was going to try it himself and see if he could make it happen. Hope I did the right thing.

Hi Mark,

I’d love to come to watch you play, but not sure when. If your mum invites people to a birthday party or something, I’ll try and come. I’m glad to feel you can talk with me. I am also a teacher and I try to be friendly with my pupils in school. But you’re part of my family and that’s different. And I don’t have the same responsibilities towards you all as your mum and dad do.

Sounds like you did a good job with Jack. You can reassure him that this is completely natural and not something to be scared about. Remember you’re his big brother and he probably wants to learn from your experience. He will probably want to follow what you are doing as he grows up too. Kids say lots of things to each other in school and sometimes they don’t help or they’re not always true. I don’t know what I would do if Jack walked in on me .... but I do remember that I walked in on you in the bedroom on that Sunday morning. I just think it’s important to treat people properly, answer their questions as best you can, be truthful and show respect. Maybe you can check with him sometime and see if he has any more questions for you.

With love to you, Steve

Hi there

Well I did what you suggested and went to see Jack in his room yesterday when he was doing his homework. He seemed cool about it all. He said he’d been trying to do it to himself and it had given him this funny feeling inside and then his willy had been trying to squeeze and pump. I told him that was the beginning of his orgasm. He said he was going to keep doing it more until the same thing happened to him as to me.

I had a great idea this morning when I was going to school. I don’t know what you’ll think of it. I tried asking my Dad and he said I shouldn’t bother you because you’re busy and have your own life to get on with. But I decided I would ask you anyway. The worst thing you can say is No. And that’s Ok if this is too much to ask.

Last year we went on a school camp for three days at the start of the summer. And now the weather is really warm again. So I was thinking it would be good to go camping again. And this time I’d like to be more adventurous – like going into the mountains or canoeing along a river or something like that. Dad would never do that with me because he’s not adventurous like that. He likes something more comfortable. But I’d really like to do more of it. Then I remembered that you said you used to do climbing and stuff in the mountains. So I was wondering if you might be able to take me camping one weekend and we could go somewhere that’s not an organised campsite and do our own cooking and look up at the stars and build a fire and things. Dad wouldn’t let me go on my own or with my mates because he thinks we’d get into trouble. But if I went with you he wouldn’t really be able to say No would he. He’d have to trust you. So all day I’ve been thinking about this and how good it would be and how much fun. What do you think Uncle Steve? Would you be able to come camping with me for a night or two and show me how it’s done and make sure we stay safe?

Please let me know. I’m excited by the idea of going away like that.  Mark xxx

PS. It’s Ok if you feel this is too stupid. I’ll be able to do it with friends in another year or two.

Hello Mark,

I can see you’ve got this all planned out. If you’re really sure you want to do it, then I’m prepared to take you off camping somewhere not too far away. But you really need to talk about it with your mum and dad. They have to agree. And you will need to involve them in the planning so they know where you plan to stay and what you’re taking with you, and that you have all the right equipment to stay safe. If you talk with them first and can convince them that you’re able to see this through properly, then I will be happy to phone them afterwards to confirm all the details. But you need to talk with them first Mark.

The nearest area for wild camping to where you live is over in the Lake District. I used to know the area well from my regular weekends away as a student. It’s probably only a 30-40 minute drive from your house into one of the main valleys. You can look them up on a Lake District map. I suggest you try to find one of the small tarns or lakes in the hills, not too far from the end of a road. Remember you will have to carry all your clothes and food and sleeping gear on your back. And you will need to borrow or get a rucksack and a good pair of boots that fit your feet. The Lake District has some wild country but there are also plenty of walkers and tourists around so if anything did go wrong you’re not going to be too far away from help.

So go talk to your parents first. Then get yourself equipped with some boots, anorak, rucksack and sleeping bag. I’ve still got a reasonable tent. But you’ll need to get fit: try going for some walks wearing the boots to make sure they fit; and practice carrying a rucksack with some weight in it too. When were you thinking of doing this? There is half-term at the end of this month, or it may be warmer in the summer holidays. I’ll be away for some of the summer, but I could arrange some time with you.

With my love to you, Steve

Hi Uncle Steve

I’m so excited. I talked with mum and dad and they’re going to call you on Friday night after work. They seemed to think that I shouldn’t have asked you in the way that I did, and that you’re just doing this as a special favour. I hope that you want to do it too. I want it to be a lot of fun.

I’ve got some boots in the cupboard, and a rain-jacket. And dad has a sleeping bag I can use. I’m going to borrow a rucksack from my friend Rory who was in the army cadets last year. Do I need to borrow a tent for myself? But I don’t have any cooking things. I’ve got a map of the Lakes from school and I’m looking at Borrowdale and Ullswater and Helvellyn and Coniston and places. Which of these do you think will be best?

I can’t wait. I want to go as soon as you can make it happen. Half-term if possible. Even if it’s wet then. I’ve got so much more to tell you. Maybe after you’ve spoken with Dad we can chat on the phone.

Hi Mark,

You sound very excited about this. I’ll talk to your dad on Friday and we can take it from there. If you want to go at half-term, it will have to be around the second weekend because I’m busy before that. My tent sleeps 2-3 people so you can share that, rather than borrowing a second tent. You’ll soon learn that the difficulty with camping in the hills is all the weight of equipment you have to carry. The secret is to travel as light as you can. Only the minimum of spare clothes, dehydrated food, no computer games, and essential safety equipment. As well as your own personal kit, you’ll need to be prepared to carry a share of the tent, stove and food. You’re going to need to build up your shoulder muscles as well as your leg muscles for this. The footballing will be helping with the leg muscles anyway. So get fit!

I’ll talk with you more after I’ve spoken with your parents.

Love from Steve
