Wednesday Morning

Day 6

After another restless, depressing night, we all get up the next morning, entirely unsure how the day is going to go.

We were all very happy yesterday that the boys, especially Luke, had seemed to make their peace with Michael and Corey being boyfriends... but then, those kisses at breakfast.

That seems to have totally freaked all the boys out again, especially Luke. But, I have this nagging worry that they're all freaked out about like Luke is... but that Luke's feeling about it are just more obvious.

He's said he'd talk to us about it... sometime. We're hoping it's today, but what the fuck do we do about it? I don't have a clue, and I don't think anyone else does either.

It was a hell of a lot to dump on all of them. We knew this was going to be a problem, trying to explain our fairly open attitudes about things... including sex. Unfortunately we didn't count on all these things getting dumped on them at once.

And the other problem is... I can't really justify being pissed at Michael or Corey over it. They certainly have a right to enjoy being with each other.

And as for the kisses, those particular ones might have been a bit over the top, especially considering we weren't even at home, but it's not something that we ever really think about... kissing people we love, to us, is something we enjoy doing. And none of us are shy about it.

But, how the hell do we explain it to twelve year olds that think Michael and Corey are cheating on their dads. Damn It.

- - -

Alex and I come out of our bedroom and hear Michael and Corey in the kitchen. They've apparently been up for a while, working on breakfast, and seem like they're in an especially good mood.

I have an idea of what happened to cause their good mood, but not the reason that it happened last night... instead of the first night they were together.

So I ask, just as Ken and Jared come in, "OK, what's gotten into you two this morning? You both look... how shall I say this... positively radiant!"

They stammer for a bit, and after turning several bright shades of 'radiant', they both lean in and kiss each other, definitely not chastely, and point to each other. So, guess I was right.

Then they each pull a piece of paper from a pocket, and lay them down on the counter.

I look at them, and read the largest line on each piece of paper, under their names: "DESERT AIDS PROJECT... INSTANT HIV TEST -- NEGATIVE".

We all congratulate them.

Of course, there's absolutely no reason they would have doubted that. Michael and we are monogamous with just the three of us, almost always, and safe if we're ever with anybody else, and I'd bet that Corey, Ken and Jared are too. I say as much, and they all agree.

Corey says, "We were both 99% sure we were negative for everything, but we wanted to be absolutely sure before we... well.... before we..."

"Fucked," we hear from across the room. Turning, we see, to nobody's surprise, Luke and seven other boys standing there, all with shit-eating grins bigger than their faces.

Everybody cackles out loud, for what seems like minutes.

Then Corey says, right on target, "Luke must be feeling better," which of course gets a laugh.

Luke, true to form, says only, "YEP!"

Not sure what that means, but at least he didn't say, 'NOPE!'

And without missing a beat, Michael picks up both pieces of paper, and as the boys are walking up, hugs Luke very tightly and then hands them to him, who's in front. Luke reads them and passes them on.

Michael says gently to all of them, "Yes, guys, fucked. But before we did, we wanted to be very sure we were both healthy. The last thing either of us wants to do is hurt the other one (turning to look Corey in the eyes). Sex is fun, as you all know (a few nervous laughs)."

"But we ALL have to be careful about it. They took blood, and it'll be tested for other STIs, Sexually Transmitted Infections. Those results will take a few days. We could still be infected with something, but neither of us thinks we are, but this one (pointing to the paper) is the most important one."

"Guys, this one can kill you. So, please be very careful. As long as you're only with EACH OTHER, it shouldn't be a problem. And, you can all be tested here, at almost any time. So, please don't hurt each other. And take care of yourselves. We love all you guys. And guys, there are condoms and lube in the linen closet near your bedrooms. If there is ever ANY doubt, don't have sex, but if you really can't 'just say no', then please be safe. We love all you guys. Don't hurt yourself or anybody else. Please."

This is followed by awkward group hugs... it's awkward because there are fourteen people trying to hug each other.

Nobody dares to mention the big invisible possibly pissed off elephant in the room... and no, I DO NOT mean Luke. I mean nobody wants to bring up the mood all the boys were in last night after all those kisses.

So, we move on to more important things... eating. Everything is set up on the counters as a buffet. All the boys go thru and fill their plate and then head outside. We'd left all the tables set up from earlier.

Everybody's having a great time, and we're all chatting about yesterday, and much to the adult's surprise, the boys enthusiastically talk about being naked yesterday. They almost all admit how nervous they were at first... but nobody seems to be the least bit embarrassed, or have any issue with it.

I foresee a largely naked future in our lives. Should be interesting.

Michael and Corey might have won a few converts today. I think if the boys think having them as boyfriends will get them breakfasts like this, they'll think it's great they're together.

We sit, and talk, and it all feels perfectly normal... well, except for all the talk about them all being naked. Even the boys are acting normal and unconcerned about anything.

Until...

Luke opens his mouth and says, "I think I'm ready to say what I was thinking about last night. At least, I hope I am. So any time you want to do it, let me know... please."

I really want to get this over with.

I know I was wrong the first day we met about the boys having a big problem with us because we're gay, but I'm back to being worried that the boys do have a big problem with us... or our relationships... I don't know.

It WAS a hell of a lot to dump on them at one time. We just didn't know how to do it any better way. So, I say,

"Luke, that's great. I'm ready now, if you guys are. Let's all help get the dishes cleared away and put in the dishwasher, please."

The boys immediately all say 'ok' and get up and start collecting dishes.

Michael goes to the kitchen and starts showing the boys how to scrape, and put things in the dishwasher, since he's pretty sure none of them have ever done that before. Corey deals with getting the things used for cooking in the dishwasher. Wow, that was much faster than usual.

Ken and Jared look at each other, I think Jared says something very quietly, and then Ken says louder, "Guys, we'll leave you for your discussion. We'll go start getting our stuff ready, so you can have some privacy."

Luke speaks up and says, "Uhhh... we still don't know what to call ALL of you (motioning around to include Alex and I as well). All we know is 'dads' and 'Michael and Corey'... so, 'other dads' and Corey, please stay. I asked your guys and they said they have something to say too. Please?"

Ken and Jared look panicked, but not Corey oddly enough, and they both eventually say, 'sure'.

The boys head for the living room, leaving us standing here staring after them. We go... not very upbeat, but we go.

We get there and find them all sitting on the floor, but spread out so there's no way the 'dads' or even Michael and Corey can easily sit without being next to one of the boys... which is a nice surprise actually. We all look at each other, and smile a bit and sit down where we can, all next to one or two of the boys.

Luke has apparently been elected to start, or decided it himself, we don't know which.

And he starts with, "Dads, all of you (looking at Ken and Jared), Michael and Corey. I want to start by apologizing to all of you. I know I kinda freaked out about everything yesterday, especially you guys," looking sadly at Michael and Corey.

"I told these guys (looking at his seven 'brothers') last night, but when Steve and I were in the group home, after we became boyfriends, I was scared to death that we would be split up... that somebody would come in one day, and take one of us away from the other... and we'd never see each other again," barely able to talk thru the tears. Steve hugging him close to his side.

"There was a lake there, and we would go and lay out in the grass. We'd lay there with Steve's head lying on my stomach. I'd look up at the sky, and the clouds.

"And... I'd try to imagine a future where Steve and I could be together and couldn't be taken away from each other. I'd try to imagine our lives. I'd even try to imagine growing old with Steve," looking into Steve's eyes and seeing more tears, and wiping his own eyes.

"But one thing I never imagined was what our parents would be like. I couldn't, because I didn't know. I thought it was stupid to try to imagine our parents being ok with both of us being gay, and especially being ok with us being boyfriends.

"But I couldn't anyway. I could never imagine any parents knowing about us and still adopting us. I could never imagine that they would know we were having sex, and still want us.

"And then Mr. Frank, (looking at the other family) he was the Group Home owner, told us that two men wanted to talk to us about being their sons, and that they were gay."

Looking lovingly at Steve, wiping away more tears, "But neither of us had any idea what that meant. I mean, we know what a gay couple is... US! (pointing to themselves), but we had never met... another one... and what would it mean to have two gay dads?

"We were more scared than we'd ever been, because we had no idea what it would mean. And, thank you Diego and Daniel. You were always there for us. You never told us to get lost. You were amazing to both of us... I don't know how we could have gotten thru that without you... Thank You. We love you both... so much," which gets a few tears started for them."

"But, we didn't know what that meant. Would you love us? Why would you really want us? Would you really take both of us, or only one," looking with sadness at Steve, and the dads are now shedding tears too.

"But, we both knew it was the best chance we'd ever have to stay together," reaching up and stroking Steve's face gently and looking directly into Steve's eyes.

"I never told you this Steve, I was afraid you wouldn't go with them, but I was willing to go, even if it meant I... I'm so sorry dads... uhhh... even if it meant I had to do... things. As long as they wouldn't hurt you, I didn't care.

"Dads... I'm so sorry I was worried about that... and Michael. We didn't know what you would be like," which of course makes them shed more tears.

"But, then we met you... all THREE of you. We didn't know what that meant either.

"I thought the first day that you weren't just somebody who cooks and drives them around (smiling at Michael), and I mentioned it that night when we all talked. But we didn't know for sure until we asked Michael at the Amusement Park... (still smiling at Michael) And, you told us the truth Michael.

"We still didn't know what it meant that you were together, but Michael answered the question for us that day, just by being himself, just by being our 'big brother', and just by showing how much he loves all of us... and the two of you too," looking at his dads.

"We all fell in love with you that day Michael, every one of us," which doesn't help Michael any.

"But, you weren't the only one Michael. (looking at his dads) Even if you weren't what we were expecting as parents, you were all three great to us. You never treated us like kids that didn't matter. You promised us you'd never hurt us. You promised us you'd never lie to us. You promised you'd ask us for our opinions... and you did... all of those things... And... you adopted all four of us," looking lovingly at Daniel and Diego, who have their own tears.

"That night, after we got back, we all admitted we already loved all three of you... and how lucky we were that you wanted to adopt all of us. And it was obvious that you loved us back," now pretty much everybody has tears.

"Captain... Did you know that our dads and Michael told us all about the 'mile high club' on the way back, and even told us that we didn't want to pass up the chance to 'join'? They told us that. And, so we did," which gets a big-eyed response from those adults that didn't already know that.

Looking at Steve, and taking his hand in his, giving him a chaste kiss, then he looks briefly at Diego and Daniel. He doesn't 'out' them... but they do.

Diego looks directly at Ken and Jared, and says, "So did we... our dads said it didn't matter to them," taking Daniel's hand and, turning to look in his eyes, gives him a loving kiss, which gets a few surprised looks from two of the dads... the boy's not so much. Corey either, actually. But very quickly, Ken and Jared just smile a knowing smile and nod. And Kevin is very proud that they're comfortable enough to do that.

Luke continues,

"And then we met you guys (looking at the other family), and it was obvious that Michael and Corey were... interested in each other. And we panicked... or at least I panicked.

"I didn't know what that would mean to our dads... or Michael. Would we lose you? (looking at Michael and leaking more, him too). Would it hurt our dads as much as we thought it would to lose their... boyfriend? We didn't want to see any of you get hurt, after all you've done for us," which gets more tears.

"And then, dad (looking at dad Kevin), you told us yesterday morning that you weren't just 'ok' with Michael and Corey being boyfriends, you actually said you thought it was 'great'. I didn't get it. How could you think that?"

Kevin starts to say something, but Luke gently holds his hand up vertically, palm out, and shakes his head a bit to stop him, with a sad smile.

"But I watched you all yesterday, and you guys obviously weren't mad at each other. It didn't seem like any of you were even upset... And then... those kisses!" which gets more tears, especially from Michael and Corey.

"I think my brain fried or something when I saw that. I had no idea what that meant. I thought, how can you do that? How can you stand there and kiss all of these guys like that, in front of two people that you both said you love with all your heart (Michael is pretty much sobbing now). How can you do that to them?"

Luke again gently holds his hand up to stop somebody from saying something.

"But, I kept watching you... all. And it didn't look like anything was wrong. It didn't look like you were mad at each other. It certainly didn't look like it from the kisses."

"Oh, and Michael and Corey, you owe ALL of us (motioning to all of his brothers) one of those kisses... each!" which gets actual cheers from the boys and a very nervous laugh from the adults, although none of them knows where this is going, and none of them are optimistic.

"So... I kept sitting there thinking that something is wrong... that something is... I'm sorry, totally fucked up. But I kept watching you all, and you were all fine.

"So I finally decided that I'm the one that's... sorry... fucked up. I finally figured out that there is absolutely nothing wrong, except that none of this is what I expected it to be like."

"Dads, Michael, other dads (smiles), Corey. We all love you... We all trust you... And we're all more grateful to all of you than we'll ever be able to tell you. (dads quietly crying) But, none of this (motioning around) is what I expected, but I didn't have a clue what I did expect. So, I finally decided that I'm just not going to worry about what I thought this would be like."

"I love ALL of my brothers (smiling at all the boys). I love getting in the pool naked. And dads... I love you both so, so much (with tears running completely down his face).

"Dads, after my sperm donor... I thought he was just the way parents are supposed to be. You're not. You're wonderful... and you've already given us so much... everything that we could ever want... just by loving us and adopting us," which turns both dads into a sobbing heap.

"I actually do understand... now... that it's great that Michael and Corey have each other (giving them each a loving smile). And the two of you make a great breakfast! Hint! Hint! (laughs. Ok, that secret is out) And, I guess, I see that all four dads really are happy for both you. I don't understand that, but it looks like it's true."

Looking into Steve's eyes he says, "Steve. I don't know if I can ever share you with somebody else or not. Right now, I don't think I can. I hope... if it's ever important to you that we can talk about it... and, if it's what you want... I'll try. That's all I can promise right now. I'm sorry."

Steve is going to say this, even if it's to Luke's hands, so he takes both of Luke's hands gently in his and says, "Luke. I love you. I won't share you either. Maybe someday we'll change our minds, together, but not now," and gives Luke a quick kiss.

Luke smiles and continues,

"So dads... all of you, and Michael and Corey... We love you. We trust you. And, we thank you for giving us all an incredible new family, an amazing new life... a wonderful life... a life that I could never even imagine.

"But... now that I see it, I don't ever want it to go back to what I did imagine... being afraid of our parents ever finding out that we're gay... or boyfriends... or having sex.

"And, Michael and Corey... I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry that I was upset with both of you. You both do make cute... boyfriends. And great 'big brothers'," which gets more tears.

Every adult in the room is sitting here crying. Luke kinda shrugs his shoulders, and thinks it wasn't that bad.

Luke just has to add one more thing, looking directly at Michael and Corey,

"BUT, I'm not kidding about us getting at least one of those kisses... from each of you! Steve, is that ok with you? Please say yes? Please? I'll never ask for a Christmas present... ever... I promise," giving his very best puppy dog eyes.

Everybody laughs out loud... for a while. If for no other reason, it beats the hell out of crying.

And all the other boys certainly seem to be onboard with that idea... based on the cheers.

Steve, even with his eyes full of tears, at first can't stop laughing, but seeing that Luke isn't kidding, he stops and thinks and frowns for a while, wipes his eyes, and then says, "Only if I get one too! From each!"

Laughing follows... for a while.

Michael, looking pretty concerned, looks over at the dads, who all just shrug. He's beginning to see dad Kevin's point... they need to talk more... starting with Kevin... which he NEVER thought he'd actually say.

Still looking at the dads Michael asks, "Really? Nothing?" and they all shrug again.

Since he can't get an answer out of the dads, Michael looks directly at Steve, "Steve, please don't say that unless you mean it! Please... Steve. I'm not kidding! You either Luke. Or any of the rest of you with a boyfriend. Think very carefully before you say 'yes'. Please. Could any of you really be kissed like that, and kiss back, and really be ok with it... and happy for each other?"

Steve stops and thinks for a long few seconds, looking into Luke's eyes the entire time, and finally says, "YES. I mean it... no problem... I promise. I would NEVER do that with anybody else, but YES. With the two of you... I promise, it's not a problem," looking into Luke's eyes the entire time, never looking away, even while he's saying that, with a really big smile.

Luke wipes his eyes, leans over and kisses Steve, and says to everybody, "Ok. That's all I wanted to say. And, I'm really sorry I freaked out."

- - - -

A still teary Luke gets up and goes first to Michael and then Corey, and then both dads... and hugs each one tightly, kisses him on the cheek and again tells each how sorry he is that he freaked out about everything.

When he hugs Michael and Corey, he tells them again that they make cute boyfriends... and that he's happy for them.

It doesn't help anybody's level of tears for a bit, but it does give some closure to the upset those kisses caused all the boys, but especially Luke. And this time it's more tears of relief than unhappiness, and for that everybody's very glad.

- - - -

But for all the things that Luke admitted today, there is still one thing that he's sure he'll never admit to anybody... not even Steve. He doesn't even want to admit it to himself.

It wasn't just the kisses that freaked Luke out. It was also because of his feelings for Michael. He felt jealous after watching those kisses.

Luke has said several times that all four of the boys fell in love with Michael that day at the Amusement Park, and it's the truth... although it's not the whole truth.

The very first day that the boys met the dads and Michael, Luke, when he looked into Michael's eyes that day thru his own tears, felt something that scared him. He felt some connection to Michael that he's only ever felt with one other person in his life... Steve.

And after getting to know him a little better, those feelings for Michael have only increased. He knows he has some feelings for Michael that scare him. A lot.

He's tried telling himself it's just because Michael is older and sexy as hell... and very hot to look at. All of which is true. But it seems more than that too... somehow.

And he's guilty about it... because of Steve.

- - - -

The dads all look at each other and mostly breath a big sigh of relief.

All this wasn't nearly as bad as they were expecting. And they're all pretty damn proud of Luke for being able to figure out and say all that. And since they had no idea how to explain their attitudes about things like that to the boys, maybe it was all actually for the best. They hope.

- - -

After everybody settles down a bit, Sam and Kurt look at each other, take each other's hand in theirs, and Sam says, "Dads, we love the three of you just as much and trust you just as much, but I couldn't say that nearly as good as you did Luke... thank you.

"Dads we were afraid of what you would think of us, even though you're gay... but dads, we're boyfriends and want to sleep together. Is that ok? Please? I miss sleeping with Kurt so much," with tears running down his face.

Ken is so affected that he can't really say anything right now, so Jared says, "Oh son, of course it's ok. We're really sorry we didn't... say anything. We thought you were boyfriends, but unlike these dads, we were afraid of embarrassing you, so we didn't ask. Of course it's ok, sons. When we get our new house out here, you can all pick out your bedrooms. How's that?" which gets a rousing round of 'YES's.

"They're getting better... NO! STOP THAT! Not for me to say. But they are!" Kevin thinks to himself.

Nick speaks up nervously, saying, "Dads. I know... I said I... might not be gay... but... I was just afraid to admit it... I'm gay too, dads..." looking down at the floor.

Ken, this time, manages to say, "Thank you for telling us son. Like Kevin said, we know it's not an easy thing to say, especially at first, but if you ever want to talk about that or anything with us, any of you... guys please just let us know. We love all you guys so much, but we had no idea how to be good dads to you. I'm so sorry.

"And Luke, you said last night we wouldn't go home with any of our passengers again... maybe not... but I am so, so glad we came home with you guys. I mean it. You guys are all amazing, and we can't thank you enough...

"Oh, and by the way, our offer on the house was accepted this morning. Guys, we're going to be moving to Palm Springs! How's that?"

Eight boys just sit there for... oh... about five seconds, looking at each other, and then jump up and start hugging whoever is close by. And then they branch out...

It goes on for a while. By the end, everybody is hugged out.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Adjusting Expectations

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Then, right on cue, Luke looks around and starts getting naked, right in front of everybody, and yells, "OK. Enough of this crap! Let's go swim," and all the other guys look at each other for about two seconds, and start frantically stripping, throwing clothes everywhere.

On the way out the door, Luke yells back, "What do we have for sunburn? My dick is sunburned... OH... you know you're all gonna get naked with us eventually, so stop wasting time... come on!" and off they go, laughing and yelling the whole way.

Four dads, and two boyfriends... somebody's boyfriends... just sit there looking at each other, confused, amazed, terrified, satisfied, happy, relieved as hell. Nobody knows what the hell it is.

They get up off the floor, kinda move over to the sofas and sit down with a thud.

"What the hell just happened here? Damn. Luke is one impressive young man. I've never seen anything like that," Ken says.

Nobody is willing to say anything. They just sit, and think, and stare at each other.

Jared finally says, "You know, maybe Luke IS right. Maybe we really shouldn't ever follow anybody home again!" which at least gets laughs.

Ken continues, "But... what just happened here? Are they happy? Are they scared of us? Do they understand us better? Are they really... confused by all of us? What happened?"

Kevin can't cope right now and just says, "Damned if I know, but right now I'm going to get in the pool with our sons," and he stands up and starts stripping naked.

Alex looks at him like he's really finally totally lost his fucking mind, but shrugs his shoulders and slowly does the same... being a lot like Steve in the 'unconditional support' thing, even if it sometimes backfires... badly.

Michael whispers something long to Corey, who gets a really wicked grin, and they start walking outside.

The other dads sit and look at each other, and finally Jared looks at Ken and says, "YOU were worried that they never said anything or did anything. Happy now?"

But at least he says it with a big smile, so Ken at least knows he's not pissed at him... he hopes. They all laugh.

So, they both get up and slowly start getting undressed along with everybody else.

All of a sudden the noise from outside changes. It suddenly gets a lot louder. The dads hurry to finish getting undressed so they can go see what's going on. As soon as they get their clothes and shoes off, they all head out the door naked.

What they see stops them in their tracks.

- - - - - - - - -

Michael had whispered to Corey inside that they should go out and do a striptease and then pick Luke and Steve as their first 'willing victims' and give them each one of THOSE KISSES, but Corey can't quite keep his hands to himself as Michael starts stripping.

They walk out and see Michael and Corey standing on the side of the pool deck, kissing very hotly, with all the boys in the pool right beside them looking pretty damn interested.

Michael's shoes are already off, and Corey is slowly, slowly sliding Michael's shirt up his chest and over his head to take it off, which he throws on the chair beside his shoes.

Michael turns and gives Corey his best ever 'I'm going to fuck you' look, then does the same thing with Corey's shirt, so slowly it hurts, even stopping to nibble on one of Corey's perky tits after the shirt is up far enough, and throws it on top of his.

Corey slowly starts on Michael's shorts, taking many seconds to undo his belt, turned so the boys can see everything that he's doing, which he pulls all the way out of his shorts, one belt loop at a time, and drops it on the chair on top of his shirt.

Boy hardons in the pool are aching.

Then Michael does the same thing to Corey's shorts, looking directly at the boys as he's slowly pulling his belt out of his belt loops with a big, wicked smile.

The boys are all standing completely still, watching what these two hunks are doing, but they keep cheering.

They hear something over the wall behind them. They look and see all four of J&J's boys looking over the wall. They're obviously standing on something, just watching and cheering. Michael and Corey see the boys turn, and turn to see them too, but keep going.

Corey starts to undo the button at the top of Michael's shorts, and then oh so slowly lowers his zipper, until it's all the way at the bottom, rubbing his hand down Michael's well-defined, just enough hair, chest... and then rubbing down against the front of the shorts as he lowers the zipper.

Then he stops, and Michael does the same thing, with both of their shorts just gaping open in the front, but still on.

Then Corey soooo slowly moves Michael's shorts down to his feet, squatting down with his face pressing against Michael's almost standing straight up hardon, straining to be freed from the underwear, rubbing a little left to right and back a few times.

After a bit Michael slowly steps out of his shorts, turns around so his ass is facing directly to the boys, all lined up drooling just feet away at the edge of the pool, then bends slowly down to pick them up, and throws them on the chair with the other clothes.

Eight boys are looking like they're going to faint.

Then Michael does the same to Corey's shorts, even starting to take his underwear with the shorts... on purpose of course. That certainly gets the boys' attention. But Michael releases the underwear and continues down with just the shorts.

Corey slowly steps out of his shorts, turns his ass to the boys, picks up his shorts and slowly drops them on top of Michael's.

They both turn toward each other, grind their crotches together... just a bit, hardons straining to be set free.

The level of cheers gets even louder. All the boys are drooling over what they see in their tidy-whites, and are somehow surprised that they're actually wearing those. They somehow figured they'd be wearing tiny sexy underwear, but they are NOT complaining.

Michael and Corey look very lewdly at each other and slowly reach out and take hold of each other's family jewels, sooooo gently and lovingly... which they rub as sexily as possible for a while.

A few boys are rubbing themselves along with them.

Then Michael slowly, while facing directly toward the boys, hooks his thumbs under the elastic of his underwear, which based on his hardon is more than ready to come off, and he slowly starts lowering his underwear, and he looks smoldering hot in them BTW. More cheers.

The boys in the pool are going nuts... and it looks like a few are playing with theirs.

But, he keeps lowering his underwear, directly facing the pool, until the boys can start to see his beautiful dark pubic hair.

And don't forget, for this audience, all twelve years old, at least half of them think they'll never get pubic hair at all, so they're very interested and amazed at what they're seeing... and want to see more... lots more.

Michael keeps going lower... lower... they can see the top of his uncut dick, that's hard and lying against his lower abdomen... lower... they see half his big dick... lower... they can see it all. Gasps are heard.

It falls a little forward as the underwear gets lower, but is still pointing directly toward heaven itself.

A few more gasps are clearly heard from the pool... and maybe from the dads too, who haven't made it more than half-way to the pool yet. They're still just standing and watching... and wishing.

He keeps lowering his underwear, they can see his balls. He reaches down, pulls them up, and rubs and fluffs and massages them, then moves back up and does the same with his dick, while looking directly at the boys. He keeps running his fingers down lower, taking his full heavy balls firmly in his hand, pointing them directly at the boys...

The boys all look like they're going to pass out.

They're yelling at the top of their lungs and then... they're down. Michael is standing there in all his naked, just enough hair, very hard, sexy glory... with his underwear lying on the ground, around his feet.

He steps out of his underwear.

He turns around, spreads his legs, bends over, ass crack directly facing the boys, only feet away, wiggles it a bit, bends lower, picks up his underwear, turns back to the boys, sniffs them slow and deep, then drops them on the other clothes.

Wow. It looks like a couple of the boys just either wet themselves, in the pool no less, or came... not sure which.

And then, right on cue, Michael turns to Corey and does exactly the same thing, except maybe the cheering is even louder.

I think the boys didn't really think Michael would do it when he started. But now they know, and they want to encourage Corey any way they can. Corey is already just as hard as Michael.

They watch stunned as Michael runs his hands sensuously down Corey's muscled chest, and then continues all the way down his underwear, stopping to sexily rub his hard straining dick... several times.

He lowers himself in front of Corey's underwear, and rubs his face over his hard dick... back and forth several times, before continuing to lower his underwear so slowly the boys think they're really going to pass out.

Michael leaves his face just inches from Corey's straining dick as he's slowly pulling down his underwear.

Corey's dick starts to come into view, so slowly it's torture. It's thicker than Michaels they think and about the same length, which is pretty damn impressive, but both are incredible.

And Corey's pubic hair is even darker than Michaels, and it's so beautiful. And his skin everywhere is a little darker which is so sexy.

All the boys are almost panting at this point.

Michael, with his face mere inches away, slides Corey's underwear all the way down, with Corey's hard dick kinda slapping Michael in the face as his underwear is all the way down.

Michael does not complain.

Michael even turns his head enough that he can take Corey's dick between his lips, and slides up and down a couple times.

The boys in the pool quickly look at each other amazed... they never thought they'd ever get to watch them do that.

Corey steps out of his underwear, starts to toe them up onto the chair, but they fall off his toe, so he turns around so his naked ass is pointing directly at the boys, squats down so his ass flexes about a foot from the boys, all pressed as tightly against the edge of the pool, as close as possible. They're all going totally nuts.

Corey bends over slowly and stays there for a long few seconds, giving all the boys a very good view, which nobody misses.

More gasps are heard... More than once. He picks up the underwear and turns around, facing the boys...

He starts to raise it to his nose, but stops just a little short, and slowly lowers it, rubs it all over Michael's junk, and then starts to bring it back to his nose, but stops again, this time turning Michael around, so the boys can see everything, and rubbing it entirely up and down his ass crack, several times, then on the end of his own dick, and then so, so gently pushes it up to Michael's nose and mouth, who looks like he's going to pop right there. But he eventually takes a really long deep breath, looking a little unsteady.

Corey puts his mouth up against Michael's, covering his mouth with his underwear between them, and inhales... deeply.

They kiss for at least a minute, thru the damn underwear, and Corey pulls it slowly away, and even slower drops it on the chair, and just stands there beside Michael naked, facing the boys... with very hard dicks pointing directly at them.

They turn back and quickly give each other a very long deep kiss, and grind sensuously against each other. Corey reaches up and twists both of Michael's nipples, which makes his dick bounce.

The entire time Corey is thinking to himself, "Who the fuck knew exhibitionism could be this fucking HOT," but they eventually do pull apart.

Then both Michael and Corey start walking slowly into the pool, behind two pretty damn impressive boners.

- - - - -

All the boys just stand there, afraid to do or say anything.

Michael takes hold of Luke's hand, and Corey takes hold of Steve's hand, who look worriedly at each other... and they start walking slowly back toward the steps, taking both Luke and Steve with them.

The dads are all standing there with hard ons, mouths open, thinking, 'HOLY FUCK', much to their embarrassment.

A couple are actually holding their hands over their junk, like a twelve year old should, but their 12 year olds aren't exactly blushing wallflowers at the moment, and are having a lot more fun than their dads are.

The dads DO all take a quick look to check each other out, with smiles all around... even removing hands finally.

Michael walks a very nervous Luke up the steps. Corey does the exact same thing to Steve. Neither of them are looking quite so cocky about getting one of those kisses... at the moment.

As they come out of the water, they both blush really red, or maybe they really are sunburned all over. Looking down they both have raging almost-teen boners.

Even Luke can't think of anything witty to say at the moment. He looks at Steve like they're both being led out to be shot.

They walk both boys to the side, right beside where all the boys are pressed tightly together, which they all seem to enjoy, trying to see everything they can.

Michael takes Luke's face gently in his hands, and turns a visibly shaking almost-teen so he's looking him directly in the eyes.

He reaches up with his thumbs and gently caresses both of his cheeks, while looking him lovingly in the eyes, which affects both of them.

It looks like Luke would literally fall over, if Michael wasn't supporting him.

Michael moves a little closer, so his dick actually touches and rubs against Luke, who whimpers loudly, which Steve and all the boys can hear.

Luke looks over at Steve to see if he's pissed, and he sees Steve looking back and smiling with nothing but embarrassed love, standing with his back pressed as tightly against Corey as possible... and not complaining a bit.

And in fact, Steve's feeling more than a little guilty himself... for some of the things he's thinking... and not just about Luke.

Michael moves a little closer, so that his chest is actually pressing up against Luke's, wrapping his arms around him and pulling him gently to him.

The adults, back to trying to hide their straining erections, are just staring with their mouths open. More than one is wishing it was him.

Michael moves his face closer to Luke, looking deeply into his eyes... and sees nothing but love.

They can feel each other's breath on their face.

They just stop and look into each other's eyes for a while, knowing that there's a real connection between them, that neither understands.

Their lips actually touch. Luke whimpers louder. They all see Luke tremble noticeably.

Luke had just admitted, at least to himself, that he's wanted to do this with Michael since that day at the Amusement Park. There's just something about Michael that really attracts him... which doesn't help his guilt at all.

Then Michael moves his face so its pressing directly against Luke's, and his lips are pressing against Luke's, all the while holding Luke's face lovingly in his hands.

He moves his lips slowly right and left, and then based on Luke's reaction, he apparently slides his tongue forward enough so that Luke feels it. His eyes fly wide open

He looks like he's going to faint, actually getting to do what he's only dared to briefly fantasize about, but he quickly manages to relax a little. He obviously opens his mouth and turns his head slightly, so their noses aren't battling each other.

And then everybody can see him visibly relax, and he starts to totally enjoy the most incredible erotic kiss he's ever had, that he has ever fantasized about, with the person he's fantasized about... and he immediately feels incredibly guilty.

He can't do this to Steve.

He turns his whole body enough to look at Steve, pulling slightly away from Michael in the process.

Steve's still standing there looking at Luke with nothing but love and devotion, pushed all the way back against Corey's chest, watching, with all the love he has, with Corey's arms completely wrapped around his waist, and Steve's arms lying gently on Corey's, holding them even tighter to him.

Steve smiles and nods several times at Luke, giving Luke his blessing.

Maybe it's because he figures he'll get his next. Maybe it's because Steve has wanted to kiss Corey exactly like that since he first saw him at the airport. But, either way, he's not about to say no.

With that guilt temporarily taken care of, for both Luke and Steve, Luke turns all his attention back to his 'big brother'.

Luke kisses like he's never kissed anybody before, even Steve, which causes him to feel even guiltier, but it doesn't keep him from kissing with all his energy, with their hard dicks battling below.

He almost throws himself against Michael like a starving man, and kisses him like his life depends on it, with his entire body. Dicks and chests grinding against each other.

Oh fuck, it feels so damn good to kiss Michael like this.

And truthfully, Michael finally admits to himself that he's wanted to kiss Luke like this too, since that day at the Amusement Park.

Something... some look... some emotion... some shared understanding... happened between them that day, when Luke looked directly into his eyes and asked Michael if he and the dads were a... couple. If they slept together, was actually what he asked.

Something that Michael can't explain either. But somehow, his feelings for Luke got a lot more complicated that day. As did his guilt about wanting this with his not quite thirteen year old 'little brother'.

Damn this is hard.

Luke grinds against Michael... harder... enjoying every second of kissing him, just like he's wanted to do since that day at the Amusement Park.

And he does that for what seems like minutes, the whole time giving just as good as he's getting, until he's honestly afraid he's going to come.

And Michael seems to have reached the same point. They both grind a little slower.

They slowly begin to wind down the best kiss either of them has ever given or been given, which they both swear in their (big) heads they'll never admit.

Not to anybody... ever.

They pull apart, reluctantly. They look into each other's eyes, and see nothing but love... and a few tears. They each know they are truly loved by the other. And guilty as hell for what they're feeling.

Michael can't resist. He takes Luke's face gently in his hands again, and they give each other one final slow loving kiss and hug.

And then Michael gently turns Luke around, and pulls him back against him, back first, wrapping his arms around his waist and pulling him even tighter against him. Michael whispers something into Luke's ear, which makes Luke blush even more, and they turn toward Steve and Corey.

Luke can feel Michael's hard dick poking him below... he wiggles just a bit to get Michael's dick to slide under his balls... which doesn't help Michael's predickament at all (yeah, I know and so does the spellchecker).

And, it's not exactly where Luke wanted to slide it either.

- - - - -

Corey takes that as his cue to do the same thing.

As he loosens his arms from around Steve, and starts to turn him lovingly around, Steve is having a lot of his own guilt.

He has caught himself staring at Corey multiple times since they first met... and not just staring... fantasizing too... and feeling guilty.

Steve noticed Corey as soon as they walked into the terminal where they met, two days ago, at the airport. And he's been having some pretty sexy guilty thoughts about him too... thoughts that he was sure he'd never have for anybody other than Luke.

Corey so slowly and passionately gives Steve the most amazing buildup and kiss of his life. And the most amazing kiss he's ever gotten in return. He's not ever admitting that either.

Maybe it's because of the age difference, Corey wonders, but there is definitely something about kissing this amazing young man.

He leans so slowly into Steve, sticks out his tongue just enough, even before their lips touch, and slowly draws his tongue from one side to the other across his lips.

Steve's eyes jolt wide open.

Corey is slowly moving his tongue back to the center, and looks Steve so lovingly in the eyes, as he slowly leans back in, his hard cock rubbing slowly back and forth against Steve's stomach, who's almost sure he can feel a track of precum being left behind.

He whimpers as loudly as Luke did.

Corey presses their lips gently together as he's offering Steve the intimacy of his tongue. He even reaches down and gently grips Steve's nipples while his tongue is as far down his throat as possible.

OMFgawd.

Steve's eyes are so big and his dick is so hard it literally hurts.

All the guys watching are as turned on as they've ever been in their entire lives. Truth is all of these boys have had fantasies about their 'big brothers', and they're all both glad and unhappy that they're not the one being kissed.

They're glad because they're not sure they wouldn't pass out.

They're unhappy, because they really want to kiss them like this too.

Steve is rubbing and grinding against Corey, who is doing the same.

Corey and Steve are both smoldering hot, and they both have amazing dark eyes and hair, although Corey's complexion is darker than Steve's... or Michael's. They could easily be biological brothers standing there kissing like there is no tomorrow... and rubbing... and breathing hard and deep. And nobody would complain a bit if they were brothers.

Steve presses against Corey as hard as he can, their bodies completely touching from dick to the top of their chests.

Corey runs his hands all the way down Steve's back, after slowly turning Steve's ass toward the boys in the pool.

He cups Steve's ass cheeks and squeezes them gently, which gets a low moan out of him.

Corey keeps kissing more and then gently spreads Steve's asscheeks apart, and reaches out with the middle finger on each hand and gently fingers his amazing little pucker, pulling it very slightly, causing it to almost gape... just a bit.

Corey just ever so slightly runs his fingers on one hand down the middle of Steve's ass crack and barely touches his pucker, finger... after finger... after finger... after finger, which causes Steve to moan even louder, and squirm like he's trying to impale himself on Corey's fingers.

That goes on for a while, until they too eventually decide they better stop before it's too late, so Corey backs off a bit.

They eventually break their kiss, look each other in the eyes, both seeing things that excite... and scare them, and then a deep loving kiss.

Corey whispers something into Steve's eyes, which causes Steve to kiss him again... pretty damn passionately.

They pull up, look around and see naked dads standing between the house and pool with hands back over their dicks, although at this point, why bother?

They look in the pool, and see six boys with mouths and eyes still wide open.

They look over the wall behind and see four boys and Danny, with huge grins on their faces and a couple 'thumbs up'.

Luke hugs Michael one more time, whispers something in his ear, kisses him on the lips, and walks toward Steve, who had just finished hugging and kissing Corey.

They stop in front of each other, look deeply and a little worriedly into each other's eyes, reach out and take both of each other's hands, just like they did the first day, right before they dared to turn and meet their new gay dads for the first time, more worried than they had ever been... which certainly doesn't go unnoticed by dad Kevin.

They look lovingly into each other's eyes, and kiss... not a hot passionate kiss, but a long deep loving kiss... and a slightly worried kiss.

This may be a one-time thing, that they will never do with anybody else, but more importantly they did this with somebody they each truly love... a little more than either has admitted, even to himself.

They've had three days more time to come to love Michael, but there is no doubt they will love Corey just as much after a little more time. Steve especially has no doubt of that.

But they both know, above all else, they love each other.

They let one hand go, turn and smile at their recent kissing partners, and walk back into the pool holding hands, their almost-teen erections proudly leading the way... despite wobbly knees from those kisses.

Michael takes the moment to announce, "The rest of you... You're next... Not today, but when you least expect it. And, Luke and Steve, you each get the other one next time," which gets a huge cheer from all the boys, including Luke and Steve.

Luke and Steve give their other brothers all a big smile and then both of them walk into the pool and start getting hugged and high-fived by their brothers.

The boys all decide right then and there that there is nothing better than wet naked hugs in the whole world. They just love Palm Springs.

The dads, however, are still standing there with their mouths open watching.

Several of them want to run back to their bedrooms and continue what Michael and Corey started, with whomever is willing to go. And a few exchanged glances didn't change any minds.

But, they decide they better wait.

They've already 'adjusted' more than enough expectations for one day. They just aren't sure how to get rid of their boners.

So, they do exactly what any mature, mid-30s, self-respecting dad should do in front of their twelve year old sons.

They look at each other, and with hands covering as much of their junk as possible, they run and jump into the deep end of the pool, as far away from the boys as possible. Yelling and screaming just like their sons would the whole way. So much for the 'no running or jumping' rule.

They're hoping that the cold water will help solve their big problems of the moment, but as anyone who comes to Palm Springs in the summer knows, the sun is very strong and hot out here and it warms up the water pretty quickly in the summer.

So... didn't help at all, but at least they can hide it a bit. A least until the boys make it over to them, and it looks like they're almost all on the way.

Which is a huge breakthrough all on its own. None of the dads even thought they'd ever be naked around their sons, and weren't too happy about having to give up being naked when they wanted.

But none of them ever expected to be hugging and being hugged by them... naked. And they certainly never expected to be kissing each other naked... on the cheeks, only... but still.

But, after a few pokey hugs and kisses, they all relax and just have a wonderful time, naked, in the water, just like Luke said they would do.

The dads never really doubted it, but they were determined, after Luke said that, to make him wait a long time to prove him right. They didn't.

REVELATIONS (definitely not the biblical kind)

Luke and Steve are both having some very disturbing thoughts after their kisses.

They keep smiling and telling everyone who congratulates them how great it was, and it was. Gawd was it great, but they're both having some very worrying thoughts.

They both just 'cheated' on the one person they love... with all their heart. The kisses were bad enough, but the thoughts they were having while doing it... makes them even guiltier.

They finally get away from all the boys as soon as they can, who are still slapping them on the back and congratulating them, while drooling over their kisses with Michael and Corey, and telling them how much they want their own chance. Unfortunately that takes quite a while.

The problem is, they're both feeling very guilty about enjoying what is the best kiss, and best kissing, they have EVER done... even better than the one person they each love with all their heart and soul.

How can that be?

How could either of them enjoy kissing someone else more than the person they know they love? How could they do that?

That thought, that exact question, "How could they do that?" is the exact same thing Luke said when he was saying he didn't understand how Michael and Corey could stand in front of all of them and kiss... all the dads. Not just 'their' dads.

Luke had asked them, "How could you do that?" just this morning. How could Michael and Corey and the dads do that if they love each other as much as they all say?

Luke keeps thinking the same thing to himself, "How could I do that? How could I enjoy kissing Michael... anybody... as much or more than I enjoy kissing Steve?

"We said we would never share each other, but we just did. I swore I'd never share Steve, but I just did. I swore I would never enjoy anything like that with anybody other than Steve, but I did. Damn it. I did."

Steve is thinking the exact same thing.

Gawd he enjoyed that kiss. He had to stop or slow down several times because he was going to come. How could he do that to Luke? He swore he never would, but damn he had enjoyed kissing Corey... and honestly had thought about it before today. And in front of all these people. He's never done anything like that in his life.

He had promised Luke just this morning that he did not want to be shared with anybody else. But he had enjoyed that kiss so damn much. He had fantasies of other things he wanted to do with Corey too. But, he had promised he never would. And he just did.

They're finally able to get away from their brothers and dads.

They both go up to one the pool chairs, with the excuse of rubbing suntan lotion on 'sensitive' spots. And they do, which is even a good idea, especially on their dicks, but their thoughts are all somewhere else.

They know they have to talk, but how do they start? What do they say to each other?

They're sitting on a chaise lounge, legs over both sides, facing each other... supposedly so they could rub the suntan lotion on each other, but it's really so they can look into each other's eyes and hearts, and say... something.

They just have no idea what they can say to the person they love more than anyone else... and just cheated on.

As soon as they sit down and look into each other's eyes, they each see tears. They know they're each having the same problem.

Steve has a few more tears, especially after he sees Luke's tears, "Luke, I'm so, so sorry. I shouldn't have done that. Michael was right, I should have said no! I'm so sorry, Luke. I love you, with my whole heart. I shouldn't have done that. I'm so sorry."

Luke gives him a quick chaste kiss, and just takes him and holds him, as best they can sitting like they are.

None of this is missed by Michael and Corey, who are still closely surrounded by a group of naked boys in the pool. They look into each other's eyes and both know they just screwed up, big time.

Nor is it missed by four worried dads.

Michael wants nothing more than to go to them, hug them as tightly as he can and beg them to forgive him for what he started, but he also knows it's way too early to do that. They have to talk to each other, about what Michael caused.

Michael is thinking, "Oh damn this hurts... Why the hell did I do that? Why? It was just supposed to just be fun, but I knew, if I had just listened to what they said, that this would be really hard for them. It's exactly what Luke said he didn't understand just this morning.

"Luke said less than an hour ago that he didn't understand how Corey and I could kiss all the dads... ALL of the dads, and still say we love our own 'dads'. Or be boyfriends with each other.

He didn't understand how, if his dads love Michael as much as they say, how can they just let him go? How can they do that?

"Damn it. I knew all of that," Michael says to himself.

Luke didn't understand that about his dads either. If his dads really love each other with all their hearts, how can they also love Michael, and invite him to bed with them...

"Luke didn't understand, and I knew that, and I did it anyway. Damn it," Michael says to himself, on the verge of breaking down in tears.

Which is mirroring the thoughts in Steve's and Luke's heads.

Steve, on the verge of more tears, takes Luke's face in his hands, and kisses him gently and says, "Luke. I'm so sorry I did that. It was a mistake. You said just this morning that you could never share me, but I just did it anyway. I'm so sorry."

Luke was on the verge of saying the same thing, but when he hears it from Steve he knows they have to be totally honest with each other.

He somehow knows all this will make sense only if they admit how much they enjoyed it... had wanted it... but, how to do that without hurting Steve?

Luke nervously starts, "Steve. I love you. Completely. For my entire life... but... uhhh... to be honest, I'm glad we both did that. I swear, I'm glad. Please don't hate me Steve, and I hope you feel the same way, but... please... Steve... that... was... the... best... kiss... EVER! I'm so sorry. I didn't think it would be anything but embarrassing and fun, but it was. Please tell me you don't hate me because I think that... please... we have to talk about this. We have to be honest about this. Please?"

Steve, still tearing up, after hearing what Luke just said, starts to laugh... out loud... he just laughs... for a while.

Luke, doesn't know if it's because he's really pissed at him, which he thinks likely... shit...

But, Steve, when he can actually talk, looks deep into Luke's eyes and says, "Me Too. Luke, I was so scared to say that... but, damn it... I had to stop or slow down several times.... or I was going to shoot... damn. I'm so sorry. Please don't hate me Luke."

Luke isn't sure whether that's good or bad, and is more worried than ever... but he finally manages to say, "Steve... me too. I'm so sorry. Please don't hate me."

Steve, trying to get his thoughts in some order, hesitantly says, "Luke, I love you. I will always love you... with my whole heart. But Luke... that kiss was the best fucking kiss I've ever had. I'm so sorry Luke... I'm really sorry... but it was amazing. I'm still hard thinking about it."

Luke reaches down and gently takes hold of the very hard dick that's facing him... out here, in public, by the pool, full of all their brothers... their damn dads are watching this, and not just their dads.

Michael and Corey... Ken and Jared... two adults he barely knows... "What the fuck is wrong with me? I never used to do things like this, or CRY... I never cried," but, he chuckles when he thinks it. And, he does NOT let go of Steve's dick.

He doesn't even think about it, but he bursts out laughing too... they look into each other's eyes, and just sit and laugh like fools... and hug.

They both realize that this crap really is complicated.

Luke plows ahead, "Steve, I don't know what to say... I'm so sorry I started that... I'm the one that said they owed us two of those kisses. But Steve... I enjoyed that kiss more than I ever thought I could. I was scared to death. Uhhhh... but... honestly I've wanted to do that since the day at the Amusement Park. I'm so sorry. Please don't hate me," looking down, but of course, the way they're sitting facing each other, naked, that causes him to look at Steve's dick in this hand, which he squeezes a bit.

He looks up into Steve's eyes and they both burst out laughing even more, just from the absurdity of the whole situation.

Michael and Corey are both watching intently. They're so worried they fucked everything up for these two amazing boys, who are destined to be together forever. They both honestly believe that.

But seeing them cry... then laugh... then hug... then laugh... is... confusing.

They look at each other and shrug, and the boys around them are way more interested in things like brushing against them as often as possible, and playing grab ass... and they'd like to grab a lot more than just ass!

Steve, deep in thought about what happened, looks lovingly at Luke and finally says,

"Luke, I'm trying to figure out why that kiss was so... much. I think that it's.... no... I know... Luke, when we kiss... I close my eyes and think about how much I love you, how wonderful you smell, how great you taste, how wonderful it feels to run my fingers thru your hair before we kiss, how great it feels, when our lips... and tongues first touch," he says, as he leans forward and gently, lovingly kisses Luke... and then after a few seconds, offers his tongue to his soulmate, which is immediately welcomed.

They kiss for a while, enjoying every second of it.

Steve backs off and continues, "Luke, I know it's stupid... but, it's like our souls touch... or something when we kiss. It's like you're a tiny part of me... even if just for a few seconds. But I know what to expect when we kiss."

Continuing shakily, "But, Luke, when I kissed Corey... It didn't feel like that. I mean... damn this IS hard... I mean I like Corey... a lot (looking a little embarrassed)... but I don't love him the same way I love you... or Michael... Maybe... I... uh... could... some day, but not yet.

"Even Michael... I love Michael, but it's more like I love Diego and Daniel... well... not exactly the same. Michael is older and sexier and WAY HOTTER! (which makes both of them laugh more, and Luke agrees). It's also not the same way I love you, but I love them... all three... and I suspect Corey too, it's just a little too new to know that yet."

"But, Luke, I loved kissing him. He's older... and so hot. It was all new. It was exciting. When we kiss... we've kissed a LOT... I love kissing you Luke... and don't ever want to stop, but it feels 'normal' now. I know what to expect. Oh crap, that sounds bad doesn't it?"

Luke, laughing our loud again, eventually says, "No... it doesn't. I understand. I love kissing you too, Steve... so much... but it does feel normal for us now. Not when we started. God I was so nervous the first time you kissed me. It was so amazing... sitting out in the field near our tree. And, you know, I still remember that time. It was a lot like this was. It was NEW. It was SO EXCITING. It was a little naughty... it was just something new... and different...

Suddenly, it's like a light bulb goes off and Luke says,

"Steve, OH GAWD... Steve... I get it... I finally get why our dads sleep with Michael. Or why Michael sleeps with them... and Corey... Why Corey does the same thing... Steve... it's because it IS all NEW, and DIFFERENT... that's what makes it so exciting... oh Steve... That's why they sleep with each other... it keeps it new, and exciting, and ... OH! Steve."

Steve picks up on Luke's dismay instantly... it had just occurred to him too, "Does that mean that we'll reach a point where we need... err... want somebody new to make it new and exciting for us again... What does that mean, Luke?"

Luke, at a total loss of what to say or do, slowly says, "I don't know... I don't know. But, be honest... please... and I will too... I'll even start. Steve, I love you, but I really, really enjoyed that... I'm SO sorry, but I loved the fact that YOU were standing there watching me kiss Michael like that... after I looked to make sure you weren't pissed at me," both chuckling, which makes Luke blush way more than he is sunburned.

Taking a moment to get his thoughts together, Luke continues,

"Steve, it doesn't change how I feel about you... at all... but I loved that kiss. Honestly, somehow, it makes me love you even more... damn, this is confusing... Steve... I'm so sorry... but I loved kissing Michael...

"And Steve, I really loved watching you and Corey kiss (more blushes)... so much! I could tell you were about to come, just from rubbing against him... oh damn, that was so hot... I want you to fuck me tonight... so hard. Steve, I love you so much."

The next few minutes, nothing is said, but their mouths are very busy.

Michael and Corey decide that they must have worked everything out ok, and that they both still need to say something, they just have no idea what. They look at each other, both trying to figure out some way to avoid it.

But they slowly walk out of the pool, after glancing very nervously over at Alex and Kevin... with both feeling more like condemned men than 'big brothers'.

They go over to where Luke and Steve are sitting, and sit down sideways on the chair next to them, so Michael is sitting across from Luke.

The dads are all still just standing and watching, very concerned.

Michael, after clearing his throat a few times, finally says, "Guys... I am so, so sorry for doing that... Please forgive me... It was my stupid idea... not Corey's. Please, if you hate somebody, hate me... not Corey... please..."

Luke and Steve look at each other and see nothing but love in each other's eyes, then at Michael and Corey, who both have tears, and then they turn around on the chair, so they're face to face with both of them.

They lean forward and kiss both of them, same combo as before, because of how they're sitting, but they kiss them slowly, deeply, lovingly, hot as hell and with way more feeling and way less nerves than before.

It must have gone on for a couple minutes, and does not go unnoticed by all the dads... or boys... all with their mouths still wide open.

They eventually pull back, stare into Michael and Corey's eyes... even reach up to stroke their cheeks, and Luke says,

"Don't be sorry Michael... or Corey. We were both upset, because we loved kissing both of you so much... but it was the hottest, best kiss ever, for both of us. (blushing)

"Please don't say you're sorry... either one of you. We're not. And, I finally understand Michael. I swear, I get it. I understand how you and our dads can love each other with all your hearts, and still enjoy being with other people... and each other. You too Corey. I get it... finally, I get it. And I'm so sorry I asked how you could do that if you really loved our dads. But... neither of us regret what we did. I promise you. We don't. (they look at each other, and both shake their heads).

"In fact, we just admitted it was hot as hell watching each other kiss and be kissed by both of you... so, maybe we can do that again... sometime soon... later... It was so hot."

That does it... Michael and Corey almost fall off their chair laughing...

After they calm down a bit, Luke, never one to not say something, adds, "I'm so horny after that kiss. I asked Steve to really fuck me hard tonight (which gets a dirty look from Steve, and a big blush). Maybe you two can watch. Or maybe we can watch you two fuck. Please?"

After many moments of shock, Michael and Corey look at each other, and burst out laughing again, rolling around on the chair like crazy hot sexy naked guys...

The dads are standing there with their mouths open... again... and a lot of boys too.

After finally getting a little composure back, Michael and Corey kiss each other quickly, and look at the two beautiful sexy boys sitting across from them.

Michael says, "Luke, Steve, we can't have sex with you. Your dads would fucking kill us. No way, at least not now," and he knew he fucked up as soon as he heard his stupid mouth say that.

Luke, like dog with bone, "Ok... we won't have sex with each other... just kiss... and rub, maybe more than before, and longer, lots longer," with a big grin and eyebrow wiggles.

Michael and Corey totally lose it again and are rolling around laughing.

Luke on the other hand keeps talking, "After kissing, we can watch each other. I so want Steve to fuck me hard, and we... uh... would really like watching the two of you... no sex with each other... unless..."

Michael interrupts quickly, "NO. NO SEX with each other... not yet..." Again with the dumbass comment...

Luke says, "Ok. No sex... What about watching... please? Steve, would you be ok with that... we both already said we want to kiss you... uh.... more... a lot more. Please?"

Michael and Corey look at each other, the dads in the pool are looking at all four of them, and all the boys are thinking they've all lost their minds...

Michael leans over and whispers something to Corey, who looks shocked, but very, very interested all at the same time. He glances over at Steve and Luke... and blushes bigly.

Michael had just admitted how hot he found both of them... 'hot as hell' he said, especially the kissing and rubbing part, and blushed a LOT when he whispered it... not without a lot of guilt.

But he isn't at all sure how Corey will react to him basically saying he finds two of his almost thirteen year old 'brothers' hot as hell, and would like to do more with them.

Corey's saying nothing, which makes Michael think to himself, "Oh fuck, this was a really fucked up thing to say."

Corey, struggling to think about something other than sex with the Luke and Steve, finally looks at Michael, then Luke and Steve, and says, "Only if your dads agree. No Sex between you guys and us, other than kissing and rubbing and maybe a little extra rubbing (big smile, eyebrow wiggle). And then after we recover, and we'll take longer than you, damn it," which gets laughs mostly from Steve and Luke.

"Then we'll each watch. Some touching is ok, but there is no way I'm going to fuck either of you... not yet." Damn it. He knew that was stupid when Michael said it, now he says it. Shit. At least the boys haven't picked up on it yet.

And Luke, of course, immediately asks, "Not yet? So when? When can we all fuck?"

Corey and Michael completely lose it... again! They literally almost roll off the chaise lounge and are just lying here holding each other and laughing like crazy people.

When they finally look up, Alex and Kevin are standing over them, naked, with dicks right at eye level, mostly looking concerned and confused.

Kevin asks nervously, "Uhhh... is everything ok? Did... uhhh... those kisses cause a problem? Sons, are you both ok?" looking at Steve and Luke with genuine concern.

Luke, bless him, says, "Yeah. We're great. We talked. We really, really liked kissing them. After that kiss, I told Steve I want him to really fuck me hard tonight and I'm trying to get them to watch us fuck... and, uhh... let us watch them."

"What happened to you? You used to be... well... not 'quiet' but nothing like this. What happened to you?" Steve asks completely deadpan, more embarrassed than he's ever been, which gets a huge long laugh from everybody.

Alex and Kevin are both standing here naked, looking at each other, looking at Luke and Steve, both naked, looking at Corey and Michael, both naked... and damn, they might have lingered just a bit too long over Corey... a little too much staring.

Luke immediately says, "I saw that. You're almost drooling over Corey. See, admit it. He's really hot, isn't he? So can we? Steve wants to kiss him more, and I SO want to kiss Michael more. Corey, too, but next time! So, can we?"

Kevin and Alex totally lose it too. They double over laughing. When they finally get a little self control, they look at each other, shrug their shoulders, and before walking away, Alex, not Kevin, says to Michael and Corey,

"We trust you guys to NEVER hurt any of these boys. We know you won't. We know you'll be patient, and loving. No fucking between you guys," pointing to Luke and Steve, "and you guys," pointing to Michael and Corey.

"Other than that, I guess after everything you've seen here, it would be two-faced as hell for us to say we can do it but you can't. BUT guys. Luke and Steve... sons... please be VERY, VERY sure you're ok with this BEFORE you do it. Go slowly... please.

"Sons, it looked like when you guys came up here, you were crying. Are you really sure everything is ok? Guys, you love each other so much. You don't ever want to do anything to change that. Do you?"

Luke and Steve look each other in the eyes for a long time, and then they both smile... they know it will all be ok.

Luke turns and says, "No dad. We don't want to change that... ever. We're fine dads. We talked. We admitted how much we really enjoyed what Michael and Corey did with us. We love them. We love you. And more than anything, we love each other. So, yes dad. It's not just ok... It's great!"

Alex again, Kevin being unusually quiet, for him, says, "OK. Guys. If you're really sure, but remember, NO means NO. Neither of you can 'convince' the other to do anything he doesn't want to do. Agreed?"

They agree quickly.

Michael is suddenly feeling very uncomfortable, and addressing Alex and Kevin, "Guys, we're not pushing this. Ok, fine, we admit we both enjoyed it as much as these two did... apparently (blushing more). We came up here to apologize. I... was so afraid that I had totally screwed up everything with my little stunt. We're not trying to encourage them... they certainly don't need encouragement," more laughs, at least from the adults. Luke and steve both look a little insulted.

Michael continues nervously, "We uhhh... don't know whether it's a really bad idea or not to do anything else. We would prefer that you just say 'no' if you have any doubts about this. I promise, we're not pushing for this!"

Alex and Kevin stare at each other a few seconds, and this time Kevin says, "Sons, we know you're growing up. We know you're gay. We know you're boyfriends, and even before your comment about 'fucking', we were sure you're having sex. That's why we put the condoms and lube near your bedrooms. (smile)

"But sons, I'm really worried that this will cause a problem between the two of you," looking at Luke and Steve, he squats down so he's about at eye level... and so his dick isn't at eye level to them.

"Guys, we trust Michael and Corey to talk about any issues they have with each other, or with us, or Ken and Jared. I worry that you guys will get hurt... but... the fact that you both came up here, discussed what happened and what's bothering you, and didn't get mad at each other in the process... I'm very proud of both of you sons. I really am.

"Sons... I won't say no, but please, please be very, very careful. And, if anything makes you uncomfortable, please stop... immediately. And talk about it. Come find us if you think we can help. Talk to both of these guys, they love you and will do anything for you, but please, guys... please. You love each other so much. Don't mess that up. Please?

"Other than that, I'm going back in the pool, and unless there's a problem or something you want to talk about, I don't want to know about it. How's that?"

Luke, while getting up to hug and kiss both dads, naked, with crotches rubbing, maybe a few extra times, thanks to Luke, says, "Thank you dads. I really do get it now. I get why you both love being with Michael. And why Michael loves being with you and Corey, and we're sure you'll both love being with Corey just as much. Soon. Me too!"

Luke gives a big 'gottcha' grin, which causes the dads to turn beet red.

Luke continues, "Dads, I really do get it. It's new, and different... and we both said that... and as much as we loved what we did, and we really did (with a big shit-eating grin), it doesn't change how we feel about each other at all. If anything, it makes it even hotter when we kiss. Wow, I get it. Who knew?"

Alex shakes his head, dares to actually kiss Luke and Steve on the cheek and says, "Ok. After a little more time in the pool, I'm going to take a shower... If there is any problem, at all, you promise to come and talk to us. Agreed?"

Both promise and the dads head back to the pool... with lots of thoughts in their big heads... and a few in their little heads.

Michael and Corey both look kinda like the dog that chases cars and finally catches one, and has no earthly idea what to do with it.

Corey says kinda nervously, "Shit. Did they just say we can have sex with them (pointing), as long as we don't fuck? Really?"

Steve, who, after that kiss, suddenly seems completely onboard with this crazy idea, looks at Luke, and they both turn and look at Corey and Michael.

Steve, this time, not Luke, says, "That's what I heard!"

Corey says pretty emphatically, "Well, crap!"

Long rolling around laughing ensues... for a while.

When they finally look up, and Kevin and Alex are both standing there again. Alex obviously wants to say something, but it's taking him a bit to get started. He stutters and stammers and finally manages to say,

"Guys, what I said about 'no fucking'... that's not fair to you. (really big sigh) Fuck! We said we weren't going to treat you guys like 'little kids', and you're not. And it's not fair to tell you that you can have sex, but not fuck."

Alex continues nervously, "So sons, you can do it if you want, but please, please guys. Seeing your soulmate (looking sweetly between Luke and Steve) get fucked by somebody else can be a very emotional thing. It can cause a huge amount of jealousy... or it can be the hottest thing you've ever done in your life... just seeing how much your partner or boyfriend is enjoying it. It can be truly amazing... or, it can be the absolute worst thing you've ever done. So guys, before you do it, if you do, please talk about it with each other... A lot. Please?"

Continuing nervously, "And guys, PLEASE consider not doing that the first time, or even the first couple of times. Please sons, be very, very sure you can handle all of this before you do that. Sons... it's just a request, not an 'order', but please guys, please be really careful... you both love each other way too much to risk screwing that up, and we love both of you too much to ever see you break up," and he leans forward and gives both of the boys another kiss on the cheeks.

Luke and Steve both jump up and hug the hell out of their dads, and kiss them both on the cheeks. And rub against them... a bit.

Alex was scared to death that Luke was going to kiss him on the lips... before he switched to his cheek. He's also pretty sure Luke rubbed against him a littler more than... necessary. And now he's hard.

Alex and Kevin walk back to the pool... maybe a little faster than they would have otherwise.

Alex would have been much more freaked out if he had known that Luke did intend to kiss him on the lips, thinking that if he can kiss Michael like that, on the lips, and his dads certainly kiss Michael like that, he certainly should be able to do that with his dads... that he loves so, so much... for the first time in his life.

After seeing the shock in his dad's eyes, he knew he couldn't.

Luke turned away before Alex could see the tears in his eyes. Steve sees his tears, but just figures it's all been so emotional for both of them all day. He just hugs Luke tightly to him for a long time, until he recovers... mostly.

- - -

After they leave, things gradually return to normal, and Corey says, "Shit. Really?"

Steve says again, "That's what I heard!"

Which causes everybody to totally lose it. They're laughing, rolling around together, hugging, and even a few more kisses.

They all laugh their asses off, although if one looks very, very carefully, a little fear might be seen in all their eyes and faces too. They all want 'new'. They will apparently get new, but maybe a little 'dangerous' too.

Something occurs to Michael who says, "Guys, Corey and his family have to leave... soon... and they won't be back until Friday. Guys, we're in a new relationship too, and I don't want to do anything that will leave Corey out. We ALL need to build a good relationship with each other, all four of us. I hope you understand... Is that OK?"

Steve and Luke look at each other, disappointed, but they also agree.

Steve says, "Yeah. I wish we could do it now or tonight, but yeah... I don't want to do it unless we're all there. Luke, Is that ok?"

Luke, "Yep, guess you're just gonna have to fuck me without an audience tonight. I can live with that!"

Steve looks directly at Luke and asks, "What happened to you? You used to be so innocent."

And everybody laughs their asses off... yet again.

All four stand up, kiss again, definitely not chaste, and with Corey's arm around Steve, and Michael's around Luke, they walk slowly back into the pool, erections happily showing the way, and have the absolute best time of their lives.

All the other boys, all with really big eyes, are very curious about what's going on with these four, especially the hugging, kissing and laughing.

They just stare at each other, but nobody's brave enough to ask anything... yet.

No more kissing for the foursome back in the pool, but all four have secret hopes... and fears.

The dads are feeling a little overwhelmed by... well, everything. They have no idea what the hell just happened between those four, but it SEEMS to have worked out ok. For now.

Kevin knows he's going to have a very hard time avoiding asking them. He knows, somewhere deep down inside, that he needs to wait for them to work it out, and say something if they need to, but that is SO not like him. Damn this is hard.

In his own head, it occurs to him, "Somehow, in all my thoughts about what it would be like to have gay boys as sons, I never, ever thought about this. Well Fuck!"

Truth be told, none of the four dads thought that kiss was a great idea... not that Michael and Corey asked first. They didn't.

They thought it would just confuse the boys even more than they already are, but they also know that they have a LOT of questions about things, and unfortunately one of those very confusing things is how in the hell can the dads claim to love each other with all their hearts, and still sleep with somebody else.

And, they also remember how they were at that age and, and heaven help them all, when they get older... they'll get even hornier.

And, as they all know very well, the answer to all of these questions are NOT simple.

- - -

However, this turn of events also convinces 'dad Kevin' that he needs to start turning his constant notes about the boys' lives into actual chapters. It's going to be too much to remember if he doesn't get started quickly.

So he decides right then and there to start writing about his Palm Springs Family.

His own 'beginnings' story will very probably never see the light of day, but he owes it to the boys to document their lives together... even if it's never read by anybody outside the family.

And given all the 'things' that'll probably be in there, that's probably for the best anyway.

The only hard part is going to be figuring out how to document some of the... more private parts of their lives. He can't exactly go to them and ask them to describe all the ways they fuck each other. Now can he? Damn this is hard.

He thinks he might need an 'accomplice' or two to help out.

What?

Luke did ask if they were spies after the German at the Group Home.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Life Goes On

But all the dads and Michael and Corey DO have an amazing time with their amazing new boys, not even, for the moment, avoiding or worrying about naked hugs and cheek kisses... and even some naked rubbing, although that was never done by the dads... they didn't have to, the boys were rubbing plenty.

It all just seems wonderful and normal and fun... for a change.

And, somewhere deep in their big heads, they know that all of this totally happened because of Luke.

They just aren't sure if they should be happy about that, or more worried than they've ever been.

And by then the four boys from behind are in the pool with them... naked too, although they're not getting hugged and kissed... at least not by the dads.

They know the combo for the gate to the yard and ran right over, right after all the kissing stopped. They weren't about to miss any of that.

It's going to be an interesting life with these boys. And they all love it. They hope.

And then, right on cue, Kurt yells,

"WAIT! What do you mean the offer on the house was accepted? Which house? When are we moving? We better be close to these guys! Dads??? What house??? Dads???"

Which gets the other boys asking just as loudly what's going on, and what do they mean? Where are they moving? When are they moving?

The dads all kinda look at each other and somebody says, "Well... fuck!" And they all start laughing...

So much for cleaning up their language.

The cheers get even louder when the boys finally realize they'll be right next door. They're all standing and cheering, looking at the house right next door.

Luke asks loudly, "Dads. What about that hole in the wall? Walking around is way too much trouble."

Alex can't resist, "You've walked around once. One time! Really? Too much trouble?" deciding that two could play this game.

Luke, who is not going to give up easily, says, "Yep! And we can't do that naked, so we need a hole in the wall."

Alex, deciding that two can play this game says, "OK FINE, you decide. ALL TWELVE of you, and you know what that means, right?"

Luke says happily, "Yep. It means we all have to agree. Ok great, we'll decide. Thanks Dads!... Oh Dads, we're going to need a hole in that wall too, once these guys move in! You don't want us walking out in the street naked all the time do you? Dads???" Luke adds, pointing to the wall between them and the house that Ken and Jared are buying...

Alex, Kevin, Ken and Jared look at each other, take a deep breath, and somebody says, "Well damn!"

Michael and Corey are in the pool as close to each other as possible, hands wandering up and down backs and cracks, trying as hard as possible to not laugh their asses off... and failing miserably.

Going to be an interesting life from this point forward.
