The drive to the cabin took about an hour, and the boys had a blast getting there. They'd borrowed Mr. Reynolds' new Dodge Durango (a father's day gift from the twins) and there was plenty of room for everyone plus their gear.

The cabin was located on a private, fenced and gated lot that abutted the lake, with a boat house which housed a very nice inboard motor boat. There was a covered pull through in front of the cabin under which they parked the SUV as they unloaded.

"When you said cabin, I was thinking log cabin," Dakota said, "this is nicer than some houses I've seen, and bigger."

"Yeah, it is sort of grand, isn't it?" Aidan said, "but personally, I'm glad. We can concentrate on having a good time without having to rough it."

Jaden unlocked the ornate wooden door using the numerical key pad and they went inside, each carrying something. Oohs and ahs punctuated the air as they looked around at the expensive-looking surroundings. The entry way was two stories, and the stairway to the second floor curved around and upward, giving a grand view of it. There was a huge window above the door which flooded the entryway with light and gave a view of the trees in front.

The sunken living room was to the right and featured a floor to ceiling rock fireplace with a hearth large enough for four adults to sit on easily. The fireplace was located on the front wall of the cabin, but the wall to the left of it was made up of two sets of French doors that led out onto a deck that overlooked the lake on one side, and to the right of that more trees.

The downstairs was built in an open style with huge wooden ceiling beams that towered at least 10 feet above their heads, and the upstairs bedroom landing overlooked the living area. Beneath that was the dining room with a huge wooden table, china hutch and desk with a computer and two monitors, and to the left of that a huge modern kitchen.

Another set of French doors located on the back wall of the dining room led out onto the same deck as the living room doors, which ran along two sides of the cabin.

From the deck, the lake and the trees could be seen, and because the cabin was located on a hill, the view was magnificent. A set of stairs led down to a paved path that ran all the way down to the water's edge and the boathouse, and a picnic table and outdoor cooker had been set up there.

"Wow, oh wow. Do we have to go home? Can't we just live here?" Zak squeaked.

"Yeah, we can just tell the record company we'll take the cabin as payment for our next CD," Jaden laughed.

"This is amazing," Ariel said, "I'm gonna like being friends with you guys, it really has its perks, "he added laughing.

"Well, let's get the car unloaded and we can do some snooping. I wanna see that boat, maybe tomorrow we can take it for a spin around the lake."

The boxes went to the kitchen and the luggage to the bedrooms where they got yet another shock.

There were two huge bedrooms upstairs, as well as a game room, all across the back of the cabin, and each had a set of French doors that led out onto a common balcony. The balcony spanned the length of the back of the cabin and hung out halfway over the deck below giving it some shade, but allowing the sunlight to penetrate as well.

The two bedrooms were each furnished similarly, but in different colors, and they shared a huge luxury bath with a walk in shower, as well as a Jacuzzi tub. A separate enclosure held a urinal, bidet, and toilet as well as a pedestal sink.

"Wow, I feel like I've died and gone to Heaven," Dakota said, looking around, "but...there are only two beds...where are we all going to sleep?"

"Did you see the size of the beds?" Jaden said, "they're huge, we could all fit in one if we had to," he laughed. "Hey, you're not worried about sleeping with a bunch of gay boys are you?

"We could just make a bed in front of the fireplace downstairs," Jimmy suggested, "there's plenty of room down there if we rearrange the furniture."

"I like how you think, but we'll see how things go," Jaden said giving the two new boys a little smile.

They checked out the rest of the cabin then, and found that behind the kitchen there was a mudroom with bath and laundry as well as a pantry with a lot of canned and packaged food.

"Wow, they really think of everything, don't they?" Ariel said picking up a box of cereal and shaking it.

"I guess so, well...I'm still glad we brought groceries, because there's no fresh meat here," Aidan said innocently.

"Oh, I thought that's what Dakota and Ariel were?" Jaden laughed.

Ariel blushed, but Dakota was used to Jaden's sense of humor by then, and just cuffed him slightly on the arm. Dakota was no dummy, and he knew the twins were trying to set the two up of them, and he had no objections. The only question he had was, did Ariel feel the same way?

"Let's go check out the lake," Jimmy suggested, and they rushed back to the dining room and poured out onto the deck. After checking out the deck, they headed down the wooden stairs and down the path that led to the lake.

************

A mile or so away, a rental car crept along the narrow paved road leading to the lake as it's sole occupant checked the GPS readout one last time. Suddenly the voice of the GPS unit came to life, nearly causing the driver to pee himself.

"Turn right in 100 feet, your destination is straight ahead in 1.3 miles."

"Stupid machine," the young blond boy hissed, but he was glad he was finally so close, and he soon forgot his annoyance and concentrated on what lay ahead. Turning onto the narrow paved road leading to the cabin, he drove along slowly and tried to calm himself.

The road was smoother than he'd expected, but then again he really didn't know what to expect. So far nothing had gone as planned, but actually things had worked out better than he'd hoped. 

It had been quite by accident that he'd learned that the group was planning a weekend getaway, and when he'd discovered it was to be in this remote location he'd felt like his luck had changed for the better.

It had taken some well placed bribes to find out all the details, and now here he was, only minutes from being reunited with the boy of his dreams. The hard part would be convincing that boy that the feeling was mutual.

He gave no thought to the others, if they gave him any trouble, well...they'd be sorry, he thought as he touched the gun in his shoulder holster. It had taken some bribing and dealing with some rather unsavory characters to get the gun, but he'd never doubted he could. After all, this was America, and every two bit hood in the country had a gun, you just had to know where to go and who to ask.

The gun was unregistered, untraceable, and completely disposable. Although he hoped he wouldn't have to use it, he had been careful to cover his tracks, just in case. He was glad now that he had taken those lessons back in Germany, and all the time he'd spent at his father's private gun range. He was an expert marksman with a steady hand and a sharp eye. If he had to shoot, he'd shoot to injure, but not kill. After all, he wasn't a murderer, just a man in love,  a desperate man in love.

He parked the car a short distance from the fence and gate and carefully surveyed the area before moving forward. He couldn't see the house from here because of the trees, but then the same trees would offer him cover as he proceeded.

He was nervous and excited, and oddly enough he had an erection. He pushed it down as he thought about Jimmy and the things he wanted to do with that particular beautiful, sexy boy. He felt as if he could come just thinking about him, and he shook his head to clear it. He didn't want to waste a perfectly good orgasm on another fantasy, he wanted the real thing this time.

He'd paid a thousand dollars to get the gate code, and it was money well spent as far as he was concerned. He'd convinced the guy at the security company that he was good friends of the band and just wanted to surprise them. He'd offered some false credentials that the man barely gazed at, after all, a thousand dollars was a lot of money, and no need mucking things up by being too critical.

He allowed the gate to close behind him before he crept to the side of the road and disappeared into the woods that bordered it. He tugged at his hoodie and pulled it up over his head and tied it around his neck. His gun swung free in the holster at his side and he checked it one last time to make sure it was loaded and a bullet in the chamber, and the safety on. When the time came, if and when he needed it, the gun would be ready, and so would he.

He zigzagged through the trees, unaware that at the cabin the boys were checking out the lake and boat, and the least of his worries. Above him in the trees, hidden from view, security cameras recorded every step. The cameras were connected by wifi to the computer monitors on the desk in the dining room, but with the boys out of the cabin and down by the lake, the intruder's approach went unnoticed.

************

"Wow, that's a nice boat. Tomorrow we'll take it for a little ride. There's a restaurant and landing on the other side of the lake. We can have lunch there and check things out," Jaden said, eying the boat lustily, "Man, can't wait to get that baby out on the water."

"I don't like the way you're looking at that boat," Aidan teased, "do we need to worry about you trying to set some sort of speed record on the water?"

"Nah, but I didn't take those boating classes for nothing."

"Too bad it's winter and too cold to swim," Zak said bending to test the water and pulling his hand back quickly, "brr...it's freezing."

"Pussy," Jimmy teased, "I say we all get nekkid and dive in."

"You first," Dakota said, hoping the boy was kidding.

"It's all or no one," Jimmy insisted, eager to see the new boys naked, even if it meant freezing his balls off.

"Then it's no one, you'll have to wait till we're back in the cabin to see everyone naked," Jaden said, reading Jimmy perfectly, because he wanted the same thing.

"Who says we're going to get naked?" Ariel squeaked, "I'm gay, but I'm still kinda shy."

"We'll fix that," Jaden said, "it's hard to be shy around us, we're all exhibitionists.

"Come on, let's see what's down there," Aidan said, changing the subject as he pointed to the path to the right.

"Is that..." Zak said pointing at something near the roof of the boathouse, "it is...a camera. I wonder where the monitor is..."

"Don't know, somewhere in the cabin. We'll check it out when we get back," Aidan said.

"Yeah," Jaden joked, "we might see something interesting like a bear doing it in the woods."

They were all laughing and in good spirits as they headed off down the path Aidan had pointed out, and soon the two couples were holding hands and exchanging an occasional kiss.

Dakota and Ariel watched the two couples, both smiling, but just a bit envious of the loving relationship they obviously enjoyed. Could it really be that easy? They wondered, despite the fact that society in general said being gay was wrong? 

Dakota, who knew the boys a bit better than Ariel, even if only from afar and by reputation, knew the twins had always been popular, and even when they'd came out as gay, they'd had a fairly easy time of it. He'd heard the story of how Jimmy had been their enemy at first, and how he and Jaden had fallen in love, and that alone was enough to give a person hope. He wondered if he could be that brave though. Could he really admit his deepest darkest secret to the world, or at least his little part of it?

Ariel, who was more comfortable with his sexuality, but still guarded and shy, saw the two couples as a living breathing reminder that true love did exist for his kind, and it gave him hope. He wasn't sure he was quite ready for a relationship like the ones the twins and their boyfriends shared, but he had to admit it would be nice to have someone to share with and, yes...have some sexy fun with.

He knew his and Dakota's presence here, together, was no accident. He knew the others were trying to set them up, but he didn't mind. Dakota was a cute boy, a sexy boy, and there was nothing wrong with them becoming friends. And if by chance they happened to get a little closer or share some intimacy, well...that was cool too. After all, they didn't have to declare their undying love to have some fun.

"They make me sick," Dakota teased, breaking into Ariel's thoughts, "so lovey dovey, and smooching all the time," he giggled.

"Oh, I don't know, it looks fun," Ariel said, giving Dakota a coquettish look.

"Well, we're the odd couple out I guess," Dakota said smiling, "I guess we could at least try to fit in," he said reaching over and taking Ariel's hand in his. Then stopping, he forced Ariel to stop, and as they stood staring into each other's eyes they both began to blush.

"You know, you're kind of cute when you blush," Ariel said grinning.

"Me? You're so red I thought I was holding hands with a tomato," Dakota laughed.

"It's the sun," Ariel teased, "I'm very delicate."

"I see, well...then we'd better get you out of the sun and somewhere safe."

"I'm fine, besides, we need to see what the others have planned. I'm sure they didn't bring us here just to keep them company," Ariel laughed.

"You get that feeling too, that they might be trying to hook us up?" Dakota said squeezing Ariel's hand gently.

"Duh, they aren't very subtle. I think it's the gay couple syndrome, they can't be  happy till everyone of their gay friends are hooked up," Ariel laughed.

"Well, I suppose we could humor them...just a little. If I'm not too repulsive," Dakota laughed.

"No, not at all. In fact, you're kinda cute, even if you do only have one kidney," Ariel teased.

"Et tu brute," Dakota said feigning a sword wound, "you cut me deeply."

"Not as deep as the surgeon," Ariel giggled.

Dakota liked Ariel's wicked sense of humor, and his laugh was so cute. Heck, everything about him was cute, adorable really. He was a cute and sexy boy, and well...what was the harm of getting to know him better, even if they didn't become as close as the twins were hoping? 

They soon caught up with the other couples who didn't seem to be troubled by their absence. In fact, they were hoping the two had stopped along the way to do a little necking or...groping. But if not, there would be plenty of time for that later. For what gay boy could resist the opportunity to have some sexy fun under these conditions? The mood was right, the setting was right, all they had to do was get the two together and let nature take it's course. Aidan especially was convinced that before this weekend was over, Dakota and Ariel would be a full fledged couple, and the thought of it brought a big smile to his face.

************

Not believing his luck was still holding up, Lars crept around the cabin, peering into windows, and finally seeing no one inside, he tried the back door and was not surprised to find it was unlocked. Smiling to himself, he slipped quietly inside and made a thorough search of the place before finally deciding the others must be at the lake. Perfect, he thought, now to make myself comfortable.

He found a twelve pack of beer in the fridge and opened one and took a deep drink.

"Bah, American beer," he spat out, "but it is better than nothing."

The beer was provided by the record company, and the boys hadn't even noticed it when they'd checked out the fridge earlier. None of the teens were really into beer or alcohol, but they weren't offended by it as long as it was not used to excess. There was nothing sexy or fun about puking your guts up or pissing yourself. If they drank at all, it was just to get a buzz, and never to get drunk.

He finished the beer quickly, then threw away the can and grabbed another. He was hungry, but not knowing how much time he had before the others returned, he grabbed a bag of chips and began eating those as he stood in the kitchen gazing out the window at the path into the woods. He would have plenty of time to hide if he saw the teens returning, and he would have the advantage of surprise when they finally got inside.

He finished off the chips and another beer, then belched loudly. He needed to pee badly, and checking the window one last time, he found the bathroom off the mudroom and took a long enjoyable piss. He stared at his long semi-erect uncut penis and gave it one last squeeze. 

"Soon my friend, you will  have release with the one we love," he said to his penis.

He returned to the kitchen and looked out the window, but there was still no sign of the teens, and he took up his vigil once again.

************

The boys ambled along the path, and when Dakota and Ariel finally caught up with them they welcomed them with knowing smiles.

"I see you two are getting to know each other a little better," Aidan said, stating the obvious.

"Well, we didn't want to feel left out," Dakota said grinning, "after all, isn't this what you guys planned?"

"Yes, you're not very subtle, you know?" Ariel teased, "I'm surprised you didn't arrange for us to share a bed."

"Who says we didn't?" Jaden teased.

"Oh, I thought we were all sharing a single bed?" Dakota joked, "maybe have a big orgy."

"Now there's an idea," Jaden chuckled, "and we were afraid they'd be too shy to have fun."

"Too shy, or too prudish?" Ariel asked.

"Oh, I doubt you're either one a prude. It's hard to be gay and a prude," Aidan offered, "But seriously, our intentions were good. We just wanted to give you guys an opportunity to get to know each other in a nice safe environment where you are accepted for who you are. A place where you can feel free to be yourself and figure things out."

"And we appreciate that," Dakota said, "but let us take it from here, okay?"

"Yeah, just let us figure it out together without any pressure," Ariel begged.

"No problem," Aidan said holding up his hands, "our work is done, the rest is up to you guys."

"Now that that's settled, when do we eat? I'm starved," Dakota wanted to know, "I may only have one kidney, but I gotta big stomach. I think it fills the space the other kidney took up," he teased.

"Now that you mention it, I'm kinda hungry myself," Jaden said, "let's go back and see what we can find to grill up. Too bad we didn't have time to kill us a squirrel or a rabbit," he said in a hillbilly voice, causing everyone to laugh.

"Nah, too high in cholesterol," Aidan remarked, "some good old cow will be good."

************

Back in the cabin, Lars was beginning to wish he hadn't drank the third beer, not only was he feeling a little woozy, he needed to piss again. Glancing out the window and seeing no one in sight, he made a mad dash for the bathroom again.

He was just shaking the last few drops off when he heard a noise, and swearing to himself, he zipped up and listened for some indication of what the sound was.

A door opening, then teenage voices came next, and Lars swore to himself. Quickly recovering, he decided it was still all right. He still had the element of surprise and he could still take charge. The important thing was to strike while they were all together. He didn't want to take a chance on one of them slipping up behind him and ruining things.

He listened closely, his ear against the door, trying to distinguish how many voices he heard, but finally decided it was pointless. All teenagers sounded alike, and since the only voice he knew for certain was Jimmy's, he didn't really know what to listen for.

Slowly inching the door open, he listened to make sure the group was still together, then opened the door just enough to slip out. He was in a very short hallway now and to the right, just around the corner, was the kitchen. The voices were louder now, and Lars felt his heart speed up as he listened to the boys laughing and talking. 

"How does burgers and fries sound?" Jaden said checking the fridge. They'd brought a box of pre-made hamburger patties and there were frozen fries which they could cook in the oven.

"I could eat a horse if it was cooked right," Jimmy said peeking over Jaden's shoulder and pressing against his shapely butt.

"Whoa, keep that up and I'll be having your meat for dinner," Jaden laughed.

From his hiding place down the hall Lars recognized Jimmy's voice and his pulse raced. But what was he doing, what did the other speaker mean? Was he doing something sexual?

"What do you mean?" Jimmy asked innocently as he pulled back and fondled Jaden's butt.

"Aidan, take over...I gotta take care of something," Jaden teased, causing Jimmy to giggle.

"I'll be good, cook us some burgers daddy,"  Jimmy teased.

"Daddy? I like that," Jaden laughed as he pulled out the package of burgers and laid them on the counter.

The stove was huge with a built in griddle down the middle, and after turning the oven on for the fries, Jaden greased up the griddle and filled it with six hamburger patties. Enough for round one anyway, Jaden thought, the second round can cook while we eat these.

Lars was torn between making his move now or waiting till the boys sat down to eat, but decided that might be risky. What if one of the boys decided he needed to pee? He'd lose the element of surprise and wind up with the boys separated. No, that wouldn't do, unless he could find somewhere else to hide.

He looked around the hallway and noticed a door he hadn't been aware of before. He opened it slowly, trying to be as quiet as possible, but the boys were making so much racket that he needn't have worried.

Ah, some sort of food pantry, he thought as he opened the door and stepped inside. He waited till he was inside and the door closed before switching on the light, then looked around.

One wall was lined with shelves filled with canned and boxed food and the other held a chest type freezer. There was a case of bottled water next to it, as well as a stack of soda and one of beer. Whoever owned this cabin certainly stocked it well, he thought.

He hopped up on the freezer and waited, then realizing that from here he couldn't hear the boys at all, he crept to the door, switched off the light, then cracked the door just enough to be able to hear what was going on in the other room.

Suddenly he heard laughter and footsteps headed his way, and he closed the door and held his breath. He heard the sound of piss hitting the bowl of the toilet, apparently from two individuals as they continued to laugh and joke. Then a flush, and the sound of water running in the sink, and then they were gone.

He was glad he'd moved from the bathroom, and congratulated himself on his cleverness and cunning. Things couldn't be working out any better, he decided, and soon he would have what he'd come for.

Once he was sure the coast was clear again, he cracked the door open and stuck his head out and listened.

"Are there any hamburger buns or bread in the cabinet?" Jaden asked as he took up the last of the burgers.

"Here's a loaf of bread, it will have to do," Aidan said, "we could toast it, there's a four slice toaster over there."

"Good, you toast the bread and I'll put the next round on."

By the time the boys had the first round of burgers and fries on the table, Lars was anxious to make his move. He listened for a moment to make sure everyone was seated, and what he heard next surprised him.

"Mind if I say grace?" Ariel said, taking Dakota's hand in his.

"No, I think that's very cool," Jaden said, and the others agreed. 

They all joined hands then, and Ariel said a short simple prayer thanking God for the food, his family, and new friends. After saying Amen, they dug in, and there was quiet for once while they enjoyed the delicious food.

Now was the time, Lars decided, get them with there mouths full of food and sitting down, they didn't stand a chance. A few doubts about the validity of his actions still plagued his thoughts, but he'd come this far,  and he decided it would be stupid to back out now. Besides, how would he get out of there without being seen. No, there was no choice but to move forward with his plan.

Taking a deep breath, he slowly pushed open the door to the pantry and reached into his shoulder holster and withdrew his gun. The gun felt heavy and cold in his hand, but good at the same time. He was very comfortable with all sorts of firearms, and his father had quite a collection back home in Germany. This piece he held now, was a cheap little toy compared to some of the fine guns his father owned, but it would serve it's purpose, and now was the time to put it to work.

He walked slowly to the end of the hall and peeked around the corner, hoping to remain unseen until he could survey the situation better. Seated with their backs to him were two boys he didn't recognize, and he decided these must be the new friends the group had made recently. He knew about Ariel and Dakota, but not a lot of details. He assumed they were gay like the rest and possibly lovers, but all that was unimportant and he didn't give it much thought.

To the right at the end of the table sat Jaden, and at the opposite end, his brother Aidan. He knew which twin was which simply because their other half sat closest to them on the far side of the table, and when he at last caught sight of Jimmy his heart sped up yet again.

Closing his eyes and muttering a prayer for strength, he stepped out into the short hall and advanced quickly toward the group. Zak was first to notice the intruder, but everyone heard the clamor as he moved forward, and soon all heads were turned his way.

"What the fuck?" Jaden yelped as he stood, knocking his chair over in the process, "how did you get in here?"

"You really shouldn't leave the door unlocked," Lars said, now standing in the kitchen, waving the gun at the group as he spoke, "however, I would have gotten in anyway, for you see I have the code."

"What do you want, why are you here?" Jimmy said standing and placing an arm around Jaden.

"Can't you guess love? What I have wanted from the start...you."

"I don't want anything to do with you," Jimmy said hotly, "I love Jaden and I'm happy where I am. Why can't you just take no for an answer?"

"Because when I find something I want, I just keep trying till I get it. I want you, and I won't be happy till I have you."

"But I don't want you. What kind of relationship would it be if I hated every moment I was with you?"

"Oh, but you'll learn to love me in time. Look at me, you said yourself that I was the most handsome man you'd ever seen, and you liked what we did...there's no denying that."

"It was a one time thing. Sex, that's all it was, SEX!"

"To you perhaps, to me...it was more. It was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced, you are the most amazing person I have ever been with, and I want you for my own."

"Not gonna happen bozo," Jaden said, pulling Jimmy to him and placing him slightly behind him protectively.

"This gun in my hand says different," Lars said pointing it directly at Jaden's chest.

The air was suddenly sucked out of the room as everyone held their breath expecting a gun shot to ring out any second, but suddenly Lars lowered the gun to his side and shook his head.

"No one needs to get hurt, I won't hesitate to shoot, but I won't shoot to kill unless you force me. I'm an expert marksman, and unless I'm rushed, I'll make sure you survive. Please don't make me test that however. It's useless to resist."

"There are six of us," Dakota said suddenly from where he sat, his chair turned to see the culprit, "and one of you. That gun hold six shots, but one of us will get to you before you get all of us."

"Oh, a brave one," Lars said laughing evilly, "anyone else share your friend's mistaken idea of who's in control here?"

"Yeah," Zak said standing, I'd die before I let you take my friend away from here."

"Me too," Ariel said getting up on shaky legs."

"Whoa, hadn't considered that you boys were so brave. Maybe I need to set an example and wound one of you now, to get my point across."

"NO!" Jimmy yelled, "Leave them alone, I'll go with you, just don't hurt anyone."

"Jimmy..." Jaden said looking ready to cry, "You can't mean that..."

"It will be okay, I'll be fine. He won't hurt me. Will you?" He said directing the last words to Lars.

"I will never hurt you. I will treat you like the rare and precious jewel you are. You will want for nothing, and I will love you forever."

"Over my dead body," Jaden said then, pushing Jimmy away from him and advancing on Lars who was taken by surprise for a moment. Then stepping back, Lars raised his gun and pointed it at Jaden who stopped dead in his tracks.

"Let's hope it doesn't come to that," Lars said calmly, "but I won't let anyone get in my way."

"Jaden, stop!" Jimmy squealed, "he won't get away with this, there's no way he can get out of the country with me. He can't get an airline ticket for me or a passport..."

"That my friend, is why we are taking my father's private jet. No questions asked..."

Jimmy felt a sinking feeling in his stomach as he realized that Lars might just get away with kidnapping him, and once he had him out of the country, who knew where he'd take him? His father was mega-rich and had connections all over the world, and if he was backing Lars, then there was little hope anyone could stop him.

"The first chance I get I'll run away," Jimmy said, "or...kill you while you sleep."

"Oh, I like a lover that's feisty," Lars laughed, "but in time I'll be able to tame you."

"Never!!" Jimmy spat out, "I hate you. Do you hear me? I hate you! What kind of relationship could that be, me hating you more every second?"

"Details to be worked out, nothing more. Come my love, no need to pack a bag, I will buy you some decent clothing when we get to our destination."

"He's not going," Jaden said forcefully, stepping in front of Jimmy.

Suddenly the other boys began to move until all of them stood before Jimmy, forming a protective human shield.

"You can't kill us all," Dakota said again, "one of us will get you, and if it's me I'm going to tear your balls off and feed them to you."

Lars stepped back a little as he felt the wave of hate emanating, not only from the this new boy, but from the others, as he contemplated what to do next. The easiest solution would be to shoot this insolent boy, disable him, but not kill him, but now that the time had come for some decisive action, he balked a little.

Despite having spent hundreds of hours on the firing range, he had never used a gun on a living thing, not even a game animal. Shooting at a paper target or a bale of hay was far different from shooting a human being, and though he was sure he could keep his promise to injure and not kill, he was still reluctant to do so.

"Don't be so theatrical," Lars said, finally getting himself together, "a bullet will not only hurt, it will push those heroic ideas out of your mind as you lay suffering. Don't test me, I'm a desperate man and I will do what I must to get what I want."

"I don't think you're man enough to shoot anyone," Dakota said, advancing a few more steps. Jaden moved up behind him followed by the others, but Jimmy stayed where he was, trying to figure out what to do. 

Jimmy stuck his hand in his pocket and felt his phone. His phone. Yes, his phone. But could he get it out without Lars seeing him, and then what? Call 911? he couldn't risk carrying on a conversation with a 911 operator. Lars might lash out and shoot someone out of frustration or anger.

Then he had an idea. Slowly he pulled the phone from his pocket, hoping that Lars attention would stay on his friends and that they were blocking his view of what Jimmy was up to. The first thing he did was mute the sound on his phone, then he dialed 911. Even if he couldn't talk or tell the authorities what was going on, he figured they could track him by GPS. That was, iff they didn't think it was a hoax or a pocket dial. So many times 911 calls went unheeded if the operator was unable to talk to the caller. Then he had a brilliant idea.

Fumbling to turn the display back on, he unmuted the phone, then quickly muted only the caller's end. That way the 911 operator could hear what was going on, but wouldn't be heard by Lars.

He pocketed the phone, hoping the operator could still hear what was going on and decided to help things along.

"You'll never get away with kidnapping me, Lars. The FBI, CIA, and the cops will be after you as soon as we leave here, not to mention the fact that the record company will do everything in their power to get me back, if only for the PR value."

"Ah, but your friends will not be able to alert anyone, for I am taking all their phones, and disabling your vehicle, as well as tying everyone up."

"And what do you think we'll be doing while you're trying to tie us up?" Jaden scoffed.

"Oh, you will tie each other up, then the last of you, I will tie up. I have it all planned out perfectly."

"I hope you brought your own rope," Jaden laughed.

"I did, in fact," Lars laughed. "It is in my backpack. I told you, I have thought of everything."

The 911 operator strained to listen to the conversation on the other end, but it seemed muffled as if coming through several layers of material. She'd been trained for just such instances, and immediately contacted her supervisor and filled her in on what was happening. Since the call was being recorded, the supervisor listened to the previous recording, even as they continued to record the rest of the call.

"I've called the sheriff, this falls in their jurisdiction. I think we have more than enough evidence that the call is genuine. If not, well...better to err on the safe side."

"I agree," the operator said, "and be sure to tell them the perpetrator is armed."

The sheriff's department received the call just after 2 pm, and two cars were dispatched immediately, as well as an ambulance. On the way, one of the deputies called the station and had the dispatcher gather as much information as possible about the cabin, and find out who owned it. 

"Well, this has been a very enjoyable visit," Lars laughed, still wary of the boys, but not believing for a moment that they would actually rush him while he was armed.

"We're not going to let you take Jimmy," Jaden said again, "If I have to be the first to take a bullet, I will, but the others will take you out as soon as I fall."

"He's got that right, and it won't be pretty," Dakota growled.

"Yeah," Zac said gritting his teeth. He might be the smallest of the group, but he was fired up on adrenaline and ready to rumble.

"Yeah, if you harm my brother I'll rip your fucking head off," Aidan said speaking for the first time. He'd been the only one to notice what Jimmy had done, and he knew if they could stall the maniac long enough, help would arrive."

"Ah, another brave soul," Lars laughed, "the twin brother. Yes, I believe you would...rip my head off, but not if I also wounded you."

"So, it's six against one, still think you're gonna win?" Jaden said, ignoring Aidan's outburst and Lars reaction.

"Ah, but you're forgetting, I have this," he said waving the gun around menacingly.

"You said it yourself, you're not going to kill anyone, don't you know a wounded animal can still be vicious? and then there's the rest of the pack. So, shoot your best shot," Jaden said, his heart racing and pumping his veins full of adrenaline. He felt ten feet tall, and if he died defending his lover, then he would do it gladly to stop this monster.

"Jaden no!" Jimmy cried out as Jaden made his move.

Jaden moved quickly, his muscled body a blur as he covered the short distance between him and the surprised German. Lars let out a squeak, then a single shot rang out, and all hell broke loose.

From the front of the house, the sheriff's deputies entered the house using the code provided by the dispatcher, and with guns drawn, moved toward the sound of the gunshot.

Meanwhile, four teens were moving as well, and as a stunned Lars recovered from the surprise attack, they hit him like a ton of bricks knocking him to the ground. Fists flew, feet kicked sensitive places, and when the deputies arrived they were amazed at what they saw.

One teenage boy lay on the floor in a pool of blood as he held his leg and another teenage boy cradled him in his lap.

One of the deputies spoke into his radio, ordering the ambulance they'd taken the precaution of bringing along, to proceed to the residence.

"Everyone, flat on the floor," one of the deputies ordered, "uh except you two," he added looking at Jimmy and Jaden.

"It's the one on the bottom," Jimmy pleaded, "he broke in and was going to kidnap me. He shot my boyfriend Jaden, and my friends tackled him. He's the one you want."

Two more deputies joined them then, and in no time they had things sorted out, and Lars in cuffs. The ambulance arrived then, and Jimmy insisted on riding with Jaden to the county hospital a few miles away. Once the others had given their statements, they loaded into the Durango and proceeded to the  hospital.

Of course all the parents had to be notified, as well as Henry, who would then notify the record company. Isaac, Jeremy, and Dee, who had elected not to join the boys at the cabin, were also notified and were on their way to the hospital as well.

************

By the time the others had arrived, the five boys were a nervous wreck. From all indications, Jaden's gunshot wound was not life threatening, but it didn't stop them from worrying. It had all happened so fast, and no one could help but think, what if the bullet had been a bit higher, or gone wild and struck Jimmy?

It was nerve wracking, the waiting, the wondering, the worrying, but soon a young doctor came looking for the Reynolds.

"I'm Doctor Edwards. Your son is fine, he's going to make a full recovery. He was very lucky, an inch either way and the bullet might have hit his femur artery and he might have bled to death. We've removed the bullet and stitched him up, he's still recovering from the anesthetic, but you can see him if you'd like. When he's recovered we'll move him upstairs to a room."

"Thank you Doctor," Mrs. Reynolds said, finally allowing herself to relax just a tiny bit. 

"Yes, we'd like to see him," Mr. Reynolds said.

They were led to a curtained off room where Jaden lay beneath a blanket, his face pale and his eyes closed. Mrs. Reynolds felt tears fill her eyes, but she knew she needed to remain strong and not fall apart. There would be time for that later, when she was alone with her husband.

"Hi sweety," she whispered as she kissed his cheek.

Jaden's eyes fluttered open and he managed a weak smile, "Hi mom, where's dad?"

"Right here son," Mr. Reynolds said, taking his son's hand, "what's this I hear about you playing the hero again?" he chuckled, "first a knife fight, now a gun fight. We're gonna have to send you for some self defense classes, or hire you a body guard." 

"Is...is Jimmy okay?" Jaden said, looking worried.

He's fine son. He's worried about you, that's all. When they get you settled into a room he can come visit you for a while, but you need your rest."

"Yeah, kind of tired," Jaden mumbled, drifting off to sleep now that he knew Jimmy was okay.

The two stood there arm in arm gazing at their son for a long time, neither speaking, then Mrs. Reynolds said, "We're so lucky to have our kids, and it scares me to think how close we've come to losing one of them. I know the boys' career is important, but for once I just wish they were normal, boring teenagers without all this drama."

"When they start College next year, things will change," Mr. Reynolds said, "but...there will always be drama, that's what life is all about dear," he added, kissing her on the cheek.

They returned to the waiting room and Jimmy jumped up to meet them, "Can I see him, please...."

"When they get him moved upstairs to his room. Right now, it's only family."

"I wish we were married, then they couldn't stop me," Jimmy said sounding annoyed.

"You can see him in a bit dear," Mrs. Reynolds said putting her arms around him and pulling him in for a hug. He melted into her and dissolved into tears as she held him and soothed him as only a mother can, "It's okay baby," she cooed, "He's gonna be fine."

The others, encouraged by the good news and rosy prognosis, began to chatter noisily as the story was told over and over to anyone who wanted to listen. Then all hell broke loose as the media finally caught wind of the story of a kidnapping right there in their little burg.

It was all the adults could do to protect the boys from the hungry reporters, and finally agreed to allow the boys to issue a joint statement the following day. It wasn't what the reporters wanted, but it would have to do, and in the meantime they were free to interpret the facts as they saw them. They'd already received a press briefing from the sheriff's department and they would run with the news of the perp till they could close in on the victims and hear their side of the story.

"No Fox news," Aidan insisted, "those liars don't get to hear about this from us. Let them make up their own story, then we can sue them," he said bitterly. He and his entire family had been incensed by the lies and false reporting of the network, and they weren't about to share any details of the kidnapping with them if they could help it.

"Calm down A," Zak said, "don't get all worked up over those idiots."

"I know," Aidan sighed, "I just wish I could see J, "I know he's okay though, I can feel it. It's the twin connection you know? I can tell when he's hurt or sick...I just feel it inside."

"Does your leg hurt?"  Zak teased.

"No, I feel really good," Aidan joked, "they must  have him on some heavy meds."

It was almost 7 before they finally got Jaden into a room. Meanwhile, the group had dinner in the cafeteria, and despite the situation, the teens still had a hearty appetite, though the two adults only had coffee.

By the time Jaden was settled, he was allowed two visitors at a time, and of course Aidan and Jimmy were the first two.

"Hey bro," Aidan said approaching his twin on one side while Jimmy took the other side. 

"Hey guys," Jaden said grinning, "is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, good, thanks to you," Aidan said leaning down to kiss his brother on the cheek.

"Yeah, and don't you ever do that kind of shit again," Jimmy pouted from the other side of him, "I almost lost you once before, this shit is getting old."

Jaden laughed, "Yeah, I been to a knife fight, and I been to a gunfight, and I lived both times. Guess I'm invincible."

"No, you're not, and if you had just kept still, the cops were already on the way. I called 911 while you guys were playing footsie and being all macho."

"Ugh, if only I'd known," Jaden said wincing as a pain hit him."

"You okay bro?" Aidan considered telling the two that he was on to what Jimmy had done, but decided it could wait till later.

"Yeah, just hurts when I move a certain way. So...did they cuff and stuff old Lars?'

"Yeah, and he was screaming that his daddy would have all their jobs for this as they led him away. I think the guy is nuts," Jimmy said.

"Duh," Jaden said, "you think?"

"Well, hopefully we're rid of him for good now. Strange how things worked out. I still blame myself for getting involved with him to begin with though."

"Nah, you didn't do anything wrong. He's just a nut case, you couldn't know that. He's a hot looking guy though, he'll be very popular in prison," Jaden said grinning.

When it was time for them to go, Jimmy bent down and gave Jaden a long deep kiss as he hugged him tightly, "I love you so much. You're my hero, and always will be. Sleep well my love."

"I love you too, and no one is ever gonna take you away from me," Jaden said, a tear running down his face, "See ya tomorrow, okay?"

"And everyday for the rest of our lives," Jimmy said sniffing back tears.

"It's a date," Jaden said smiling.

By the time everyone had a chance to visit with Jaden, the boy was yawning and barely able to keep his eyes open. The last to see him was Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, and they both kissed him goodnight before he drifted off to sleep. 

As they quietly slipped out the door, Mrs. Reynolds looked back at her sleeping son and smiled, "He still looks like an angel when he's asleep," she whispered.

"Speaking of angels, we have two little angels waiting for us to pick them up at Jimmy's house," he said referring to their other set of twins.

************

The next day, Aidan, Jimmy, and Zak returned to the cabin and cleaned up the mess they'd made and packed up their belongings. Everyone said it was a real shame they didn't get to stay and enjoy themselves, but no one wanted to stay there with Jaden still in the hospital. 

On the drive back to town, the three were quiet as they reflected inwardly about all that had happened. Ariel and Dakota had offered to come help with the cleanup but the boys had begged off, apologizing for something they had no control over, and suggested the two take this time to get to know each other better.

Ariel tried to downplay what had happened at the cabin, but he knew his mother well, and it would take a while before she allowed him that kind of freedom again. Dakota's mom was terrified until she saw that Dakota was alright, and after scolding him for being so daring, she gave him a big hug and cried her eyes out.

It was Sunday before Jaden was released from the hospital, and Jimmy was there along with Aidan and the Reynolds when they picked him up. He rode up front so he could extend his bandaged leg, while Mrs. Reynolds rode in back with the boys. Jimmy sat in the center so he could see and touch Jaden as they held hands the whole way home.

Once they had Jaden situated in bed, Aidan and Jimmy sat on either side of him and they talked.

"You need anything bro, just ask," Aidan offered.

"Well, a little quiet time with my BF might be nice," he said raising an eyebrow comically.

"You sure you're up for that?" Jimmy chuckled.

"I was shot in the leg, not in the dick," Jaden joked, "As long as you do all the work I'll be fine."

"I think I'll go play with the twins," Aidan chuckled, "maybe help mom with dinner. You guys have fun. See ya later."

Once Aidan was gone, Jimmy walked over and latched both the door to the hallway and the one to the bathroom that led into the other bedroom.

"Uh oh, I'm in big trouble now," Jaden teased, "help me get these sweats off babe, and I'm all yours."

Jimmy was happy to comply, and soon had Jaden naked. His rock hard seven inch, dripping uncut teen cock stood almost straight up and Jimmy moaned lowly as he inhaled his lover's aroma.

As many times as he'd seen, touched, and tasted Jaden, he could never get enough of him. After quickly stripping off his own clothes, he climbed into bed beside the horny teen, being careful not to bump his injured leg, and began making out with him.

His hands roamed Jaden's chiseled body as they swapped tongue and ground against each other. It had been three days for each of them since they'd last got off, and they were desperate for release. But not just any release, they wanted this to be spectacular, a celebration of not only their love, but of life in general. For who knew how long any of us had? and Jaden's brief tangle with death had made them realize just how precious life was.

Their love was something special, and that Jaden would be willing to die for him caused Jimmy to realize just how important Jaden was to  him. He was more than just his lover, he was his heart and soul, his other half, and he wasn't complete without him.

"I love you so much," Jimmy said breathlessly as he nuzzled his lover's neck.

"I love you too," Jaden said, pulling him back up for another kiss.

Eventually Jimmy broke the kiss, and moving down Jaden's quivering body, he at last came to that part of him that made him all boy. Taking the leaking organ in his hand, he pulled the foreskin back and licked the shaft from base to head, lapping up Jaden's precum and making him moan and thrust up.

Once he had all the sweet sticky precum licked up, Jimmy turned his attention to Jaden's balls, licking and sucking and caressing them with muffled sighs.

"Ugh, so good," Jaden whispered as  he rolled his head from side to side.

When Jimmy at last took Jaden's swollen cock head into his warm wet mouth, Jaden reached down and took hold of his lover's head. Gently he guided Jimmy as he moved up and down on his shaft, using his lips and tongue to stimulate his sensitive organ.

"Oh god...be careful, I'm so close..." Jaden cried out.

"Just let it go," Jimmy said coming up for air, "next one will last longer."

When Jaden came a few minutes later, it was all Jimmy could do to gulp down his tasty load, but he proudly did so, not missing a drop. Reserving a little of the delicious nectar, he moved up and shared it with his lover while they kissed, then lay there, letting Jaden rest as he recovered from the intense orgasm.

They kissed, and talked quietly for a while, and eventually Jaden's cock rose to its full glory once more. Digging in the bedside drawer, Jimmy found what he was looking for and pulled out a bottle of lube. Applying a bit to Jaden's cock, then working some into his hole, he climbed up on the bed facing Jaden and straddled him.

Reaching back, he lined Jaden's cock up with his hole and began a slow descent until he had all of Jaden's stiff pole embedded in his rectum.

"Ah, you feel so good inside me," Jimmy said, leaning down to put his hands on Jaden's chest, then kissing him deeply.

"Want me to jerk you?" Jaden whispered.

"Nah, I think I can cum from getting fucked."

Jaden relaxed and let Jimmy do all the work as a sweat broke out on his forehead from the effort. Jimmy was focused on not only Jaden's cock, but his prostate, and the look of ecstasy on his face said he was enjoying the act as much as Jaden was.

He went slowly at first, letting the pressure in his balls build till he felt the wave of orgasm approaching, then sped up, bringing Jaden along in an effort to bring about a simultaneous orgasm. It didn't happen often, but it was a wonderful thing when it did, and the circumstances seemed favorable tonight.

Actually, it was Jimmy who came first, the orgasm hitting him hard and causing his butthole to clench around Jaden's cock, and that brought on Jaden's equally as intense orgasm. 

As they shared the feelings rushing over them, Jimmy managed to bend down enough to kiss Jaden, and they remained joined at both ends as they rode the tide of ecstasy out.

When they were spent, Jimmy slowly rose, letting Jaden's slimy cock slip from his hole. He was leaking profusely, and elected to go off to the bathroom to clean up. When he returned he brought a wet wash cloth and proceeded to clean his lover up before laying down next to him once more.

"You're staying over, right?"

"Yes, I told my folks not to look for me till you were up and walking again."

"Did they give you any shit?"

"Nope. I think my mom understands, even if my step dad doesn't."

"I'm so tired, can you cover us up? I need a little nap."

"Yeah, I could use one too. Worrying about you wears a guy out," he laughed.

"Not to mention all that hot nasty sex," Jaden sighed as another yawn overtook him.

************

By Monday when the boys returned to school they were once again minor celebrities. Everyone wanted to hear first hand what they'd seen on the news, and by lunch time the group was tired of the attention.

The only good thing that seemed to have come out of the weekend was that Ariel and Dakota seemed to be forming a tight bond. They even held hands beneath the table where no one could see, but it was obvious to anyone who knew what to look for.

They seemed to be in their own little world as they sat side by side at the end of the lunch table, and repeated attempts to pull them into the conversation went unheeded. Finally, the others gave up and left them alone to enjoy each other. Aidan, who felt it was his solemn duty to get the two together, was especially happy for the two, and he felt a great since of satisfaction in what he'd accomplished.

By the end of the day, there was more news to digest. Lars had been booked on first degree kidnapping, assault with a deadly weapon, breaking and entering, and a number of other charges, and his bond was set at 3 million dollars. 

The boys worried that Lars' dad might actually post the bail, but so far there had been no mention of him in the news. Perhaps his dad had finally had enough of Lars outrageous behavior and was leaving him to deal with this problem alone.

By the end of the week, the whole affair was old news, and everyone pretty much put it behind them and tried to move on as best they could. For Jimmy and Jaden, it would be sometime before that happened, but they were young and resilient, and with Lars out of the way, they felt as if they could finally relax.

Jaden returned to school the next Monday, and once again the boys had to endure being in the limelight again, but this time it was Jaden who bore the brunt of it. Already a figure  bigger than life to some of his peers, now he was a genuine hero, and everyone wanted a piece of him. Some even asked to see his wound, though he drew the line there, even if there were a few cute boys he wouldn't have minded baring his leg for.

By the weekend things were pretty much back to normal, and the boy spent their time at Jeremy's house rehearsing some new songs and entertaining Ariel and Dakota who were now officially part of the gang.

The two were more relaxed now, and hand holding and kissing were a common thing these days. Ariel even confessed to Aidan that he and Dakota had given each other a blow job in the back of Dakota's mom's van while parked near the lake. 

"If you guys need some private time," Jeremy offered, "my bedroom is available."

Since Ariel hadn't sworn him to secrecy, Aidan had told the others about his and Dakota's sexual encounter, and everyone was eager to help things along.

"Well, what about your folks?" Dakota wondered.

"My dad is at work, and my mom is at my aunt's house helping her with a party. We're all alone here, 8 horny teens," Jeremy laughed, "Seven guys and one hot chick."

"Hey, who's a chick?" Dee said cuffing Jeremy gently.

"I stand corrected, one hot babe," Jeremy said grinning.

"That's better," Dee laughed, "seriously guys, feel free to, um...explore while you're  here. We're all very open minded and eager to help in any way we can."

"Uh, thanks," Ariel said blushing, "but we're fine for now."

Dakota felt a little disappointed at Ariel's reply, but he certainly wasn't going to rush the boy. They had a good thing going, and it seemed like their relationship was off to a very good start. In fact, lately he'd begun to think the L word might be coming up soon. Ariel was not only a cute and sexy boy, he was such a sweetheart, loving and gentle, and Dakota just couldn't get enough of him.

"That's cool, no one is pushing you guys. Just offering, that's all," Jeremy said smiling, "but don't be surprised at what you see going on around you a little later."

"Yeah, we don't have any inhibitions, in case you haven't heard. You're liable to see naked bodies flopping around everywhere," Dee joked.

"Sounds fun," Dakota said blushing. Maybe Ariel would take the hint and loosen up some.

"Right now, we need to work out this last song. It really needs another guitar, but since Isaac is away at college, we've had to make due."

"Bass or rhythm?" Dakota asked suddenly.

"Bass, why?"

"I can play bass, I'm just not too good at rhythm or lead."

"Well, hey, wanna give it a shot? Jaden can show you what we need."

"Sure, I'll give it a try. Then I can say I sat in on a session with Alternate Love," he chuckled, "maybe I can become as popular as some of you guys."

"Trust me, sometimes it's more of a detriment than a gift. Sometimes I wish I wasn't quite so popular."

"Yeah, I guess I see that."

Jaden was happy to show Dakota the chords, and was surprised at how quickly he'd picked up on it. It only took a couple of takes to get it down, and everyone was cheering Dakota on and congratulating him.

"Hey, any interest in doing this on a semi-regular basis?" Aidan asked as he patted Dakota on the back, "lately, all we've been doing is some stuff for our YouTube channel, but it's fun and I think you'd enjoy it."

"Sure, just let me know when," Dakota said, feeling a little proud of himself.

"I didn't know you played guitar," Ariel said when Dakota sat back down.

"I took lessons for two years, but I guess I never really got serious about it. It helped me pass the time while I waited for a new kidney. I couldn't play sports, so I played the guitar."

"You're really good, can I have your autograph?" he said grinning.

"Sure, what part of your body would you like me to sign?" Dakota teased.

"How about my butt," Ariel said softly, surprising Dakota, and causing both boys to blush.

"Yeah, I'd like that," Dakota said in a low husky voice.

"Who wants pizza?" Jeremy yelled then, and was met by enthusiastic "yeahs!"

"Any special requests? If not, I'll order pepperoni, sausage, and supreme like always.

"Uh, can you get a plain cheese?" Ariel asked meekly, "I can pay for it."

"One plain it is, and keep your money, you're our guests."

When the pizzas arrived, the boys piled their plates high and cracked open sodas or sports drinks, while Dee fixed herself a smaller plate and drank a bottled water. Lately she'd become very health conscious and was watching her figure. She needn't have worried, she had a near perfect body, but she wanted to stay healthy and fit for Jeremy's sake, as well as her own.

They watched a movie on the huge flat screen TV as they ate and talked, and when they were full, they cleaned up the mess and made plans for the rest of the evening.

"My folks won't be home for another three hours, so if anyone has any ideas..." Jeremy said, raising an eyebrow comically.

"I say we have an orgy and welcome Ariel and Dakota to the family," Jaden teased.

"Ariel and Dakota, despite what my horny bro just said, no one is expected to do anything they don't feel comfortable doing. So, if you want to just watch, or go up to Jeremy's room to be alone, that's fine," Aidan said.

"What do you think?" Dakota said turning to Ariel.

"I don't know," the slender boy said shrugging, "I'll do whatever you want to do."

"We could watch I guess, and just see what happens."

"Okay, that's fine by me."

Someone dimmed the lights and the couples paired off, and soon the sounds of horny teens making out filled the air. This part Dakota and Ariel had no problem with, and soon they were kissing and rubbing around on each other as well.

Jaden and Jimmy were the first to start shedding clothing, and soon they were down to their underwear as they groped each other's hardness through the fabric. Dee and Jeremy were more subdued, however soon they too were down to their underwear, and both Dakota and Ariel couldn't help but look at Jeremy's artificial leg. They both knew of Jeremy's disability, but of course there had never been an occasion to confirm that fact until now.

Aidan and Zak were actually the first to get completely naked, since both were wearing sweat pants and no underwear, once the sweatpants came off there was nothing but bare flesh.

Dakota and Ariel were both fully erect and excited, but they were still hesitant to go any further at this point. Watching the others was exciting and erotic, but they still felt a little self conscious about exposing their own bodies.

When Dee straddled Jeremy, both boys watched with wide-eyes. Neither had any practical experience when it came to girls, and they were both captivated by Dee's and Jeremy's coupling. 

It was obvious that Dee had Jeremy inside her now, and considering how large Jeremy's penis was, that was no small feat. When Dee looked their way and smiled, the two boys blushed,  but their eyes stayed glued to the action across from them.

As Dee began to move up and down, Dakota reached for Ariel's hardness and turned to kiss him deeply.

"Can I..." he whispered as he tugged at Ariel's top button.

Unable to find his voice, Ariel simply nodded and cooperated as Dakota began removing his pants. Next, Dakota removed his own pants and laid them beside Ariel's, then stripped off his shirt to expose his upper body.

Ariel couldn't help but stare at Dakota's body, and he felt a little jolt of electricity to think that Dakota's body was his to enjoy, if only for this moment. Taking the hem of Ariel's shirt, Dakota lifted the garment as Ariel raised his arms to allow him to remove it. 

Now, clad only in their underwear, they went back to kissing and groping one another, completely oblivious to the others in the room. Reaching for Ariel's hardness, Dakota squeezed it gently, causing Ariel to moan and return the favor.

They made out for another five or ten minutes before their lust and heat built to the point that they couldn't wait any longer. Grasping Ariel's boxer briefs, Dakota tugged them down, freeing Ariel's slender cock before removing his own and continuing his groping and kissing.

The two new boys' actions hadn't gone unnoticed by the others, but they were content to let them enjoy each other for the moment. There was no need to rush things, if, and when the boys wanted to share themselves with the group, they would be welcomed with open arms, and legs, but for now, just watching them was enough.

Soon, Jaden and Jimmy moved to the next level, as Jimmy knelt on the floor, face down on the couch, as Jaden moved up behind him. Grasping his lover's butt cheeks in each hand, he pushed them apart and tongue dived into his hot hungry hole.

Jimmy moaned loudly, oblivious to anyone or anything, his total being focused on his aching hole and throbbing cock. Ariel and Dakota paused to watch the two a moment, amazed at what they were seeing. Sure, they'd both seen rimming in videos, but this was the first time they'd seen it in real life, or for that matter, the first time they'd seen any sort of sex in real life.

Meanwhile, Aidan and Zak had sunk to the rug and were head to toe, engaged in a heated 69. Dakota and Ariel watched with excitement as the two lovers pleasured each other, and Dakota finally decided it was time to do some pleasuring of his own.

 Sliding to his knees before Ariel, he took the boys slender hard penis in his hand and fondled it as he leaned in and began licking and sucking on his balls. Ariel's sac was pulled tight against his body, unlike some boy's balls that hung loosely, but the outline of both nuts could be seen through the smooth hairless skin.

Dakota liked the way Ariel's balls looked, and tasted, and felt on his tongue and lips, and he worked on them for quite sometime before finally turning his attention to Ariel's hard quivering cock. 

He began by licking the shaft from base to head, over and over, up and down and all around, till it was dripping wet with spit and precum. Dakota marveled at how sweet and delicious Ariel's precum was, but then everything about Ariel was sweet, from his kisses to his gentle scent.

When Dakota finally took Ariel's aching cock into his mouth, Ariel moaned so loud the others looked that way just to see what was going on. What they saw only added to their own sexual excitement as Dakota bobbed up and down on his new boyfriend's cock.

It wasn't the orgy that Jaden had hoped for, but it was a start, and as he finally mounted Jimmy and began making love to him, he looked back at the two new lovers and smiled. They'd moved into a 69 position now, and once again they seemed oblivious to the scene around them.

Eventually, everyone achieved an orgasm and it was time to rest. Jimmy sat on Jaden's lap as they kissed, their semi-erect penises resting for the moment. Dee was snuggled up to Jeremy who was cradling her gently and kissing her hair as they held hands.

Aidan and Zak lay stretched out on the floor, still in the 69 position, fondling each other's butts, their heads resting on the other's thigh as they too recovered from an intense orgasm.

Dakota and Ariel now sat side by side, holding hands and occasionally sharing a kiss, but now that the heat of sex was off them, they felt a little embarrassed and self conscious.

Both had the urge to get dressed again, or at least slip on their underwear, but they thought it might seem rude if they did so. Unlike the others, they were content with what had just happened, and had no plans to do anything else, that was unless the others insisted.

"You guys are so cute together," Dee said smiling warmly, her long hair barely covering her small firm breasts.

"Thanks," Dakota said, "all of you guys look cute together. It's obvious you are really comfortable with one another."

"Yeah, well, it just takes time. If you hang around with us enough, you'll see. It's easy to be comfortable around people you love," Aidan offered, "we're like a family really. I know that sounds weird, like we're into incest..."

"Which we are," Jaden laughed, "I've been up A's butt more times than I can count, and vice versa."

"Well, yeah, that's true, but you get what I mean guys?" Aidan asked of the two new boys.

"Yeah, it shows that you guys really care for one another. I mean at the lake, you all came to Jimmy's defense and risked your own life for him. That was so awesome."

"Don't forget, you guys were right there beside us. You're already starting to feel the love, right?" Jaden said.

"Yeah. I mean, it's all kind of new to me, having good friends like you guys, and now..." he said looking into Ariel's eyes, "finally having someone I can share my life with. Thanks to all of you for all you've done. And Ariel, thank you for making me so happy."

"Aww, I feel the same way," Ariel said leaning in to kiss Dakota, "Before we met, I never knew how good it could be, to have someone to share with and to love. In case I haven't said it or shown how I feel, I do love you."

"I love you too," Dakota said, reaching for the boy and pulling him in for a big hug and kiss.

"Get a room," Jimmy teased, "or on second thought, join us down here on the carpet and we'll welcome you into the family properly.

All of Dakota's and Ariel's doubts and inhibitions seemed to melt away then, and looking each other in the eye, they both nodded in agreement. In seconds they were in the midst of their new family as bodies pressed into them, lips met theirs, and soon the group of horny, hard teenage boys, and one horny girl, were sharing their bodies and love with one another.

End Chapter 45

 Sorry it took so long to get another chapter out, but The Holidays were especially stressful, and I was busy with some other projects. I hope to get back on a regular schedule of posting a chapter per month as we go into the new year. Next up: I will begin the final part of Tween to Teen, called The College Years and Beyond. I hope to have Chapter 1 up by the middle of January.

Here's hoping 2021 is a better year for us all. Meanwhile, stay safe and be careful.
