Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2010 10:46:31 -0800 (PST) From: Jason Gardham Subject: "Benjamin and Me" Chapter 7 Author: J. Gardham gardham1@yahoo.com This story is fiction as are the characters, if you think you see yourself in this story that's cool as long as everyone remembers there's nothing in this story that isn't pure imagination. "Benjamin and Me" Chapter 7 Sunday morning arrived with Thomas up early fixing pancakes, bacon, coffee, and fresh orange juice for everyone as the other guys woke up and made their way into the large country style kitchen. Benjamin was sitting at the table drawing on a large pad. The three musketeers Glen, Larry, and Robin arrived wearing either boxer shorts or PJ bottoms as they poured themselves coffee. By the looks of their flushed faces it appeared group sex had been part of their morning gymnastics. Robin asked Benjamin what he was drawing. "I'm trying to come up with some ideas for the pool we're going to put in". Benjamin used his new found ability to move and use material objects at every opportunity, he was like a kid with a new toy. The guys gathered around him to see what ideas he had come up with. "Wow! Benjamin you have a real talent for design, those are wonderful drawings". Benjamin smiled from ear to ear at Glen's praise. Thomas walked over and kissed Ben on the top of his head as he leaned over to check out Benjamin's sketches. "Benjamin I had no idea you were so artistic, those are really amazing". "Well I did design this house if you remember Thomas". "No, I don't recall you ever mentioning that you had designed the house, I just assumed you had an architect design it, with you and Pierce offering suggestions". Laughing Benjamin said, "Yes in 1832 we just drove our BMW down to the many architectural design companies in town, and oh yes, there weren't any BMW's and we would have been on horseback, and come to think of it there weren't' any local architects nor was there a town to ride into". Thomas gave Benjamin a slap across the back of the head as he said, "Okay smartass, a simple, there weren't any architects at the time would have sufficed". The other guys laughed at the two lover's playful badgering. Brad and Gavin came downstairs and joined the others, "what's going on guys?" Larry said, "we're admiring Benjamin's designs for the pool". "POOL"? Bill came bouncing down the stairs two and three steps at a time, "are we really going to have a swimming pool?" His dad said, "looks that way kiddo and slow down you had a nasty fall at school yesterday so try taking it easy will you." "I'm find dad, is it going to be an indoor pool so we can use it year around?" All the guys looked at each other as Thomas said, "we hadn't even thought of that Bill, but we do need to take that into consideration". With a big grin on his face Benjamin said, "now this is really getting interesting, one building coming up". With another kiss on the top of Benjamin's head Thomas walked away saying, "have at it Benny boy"...... "DON'T CALL ME THAT, YOU KNOW I HATE IT". "Yup, that I do". Laughing, everyone sat at the table to enjoy breakfast. "Gavin, nice to see you here this morning with Brad, have you considered making it a permanent situation?". Brad agreed wholeheartedly, "I've been trying to get him to move in with me, help me out here guys". Blushing Gavin admitted that the thought had crossed his mind, but wasn't sure if there was enough room and if the rest of you would want me here. All together everyone said, "we want you here Gavin". Laughing Gavin said, "You guys are all crazy and I think I'll take you up on that offer before you change your minds". Brad nearly pulled Gavin out of his chair when he reached over and kissed him. "Wow, Gavin I'm so excited, this is the best thing to ever happen to me". "I think I'm the lucky one here Brad, my heart skips a beat every time you touch me". Bill who had been quiet spoke up with, "it must be love". Smiling Glen said, "and just what would my twelve-year old son know about love?" "What do I know about love, "I know I love you with all my heart dad". With that comment and a lot of moisture gathering in his eyes Glen got up and walked around to where Bill was sitting and kneeling beside him laid his head in his son's lap. "Bill you are my pride and joy I would wither and die without you". Larry and Robin added that they felt pretty much the same, "you are the treasure that fills our hearts Bill". Beaming with love as he looked at each of his dads, he said, "I have to be the luckiest kid in the world, I sure have the best dads in the world". Benjamin looked up smiling and handed his sketch pad to Brad asking what he thought of his drawing of a building to enclose the swimming pool? "Jumpinjahozafats that looks like a Frank Lloyd Wright fantasmo Benjamin it`s beautiful." Thomas came over and picked up Benjamin's design and studied it for the longest time before commenting, "Benjamin, it's a done deal, I love it". "The way you added it to the house making it appear as if it was part of the original structure is wonderful". "The whole design reminds me of something you might see in France with a beautiful courtyard in the center. What will the two wings that connect the house to the pool building be used for?" Benjamin explained that with the growing number of residents he thought four additional bedroom suites might be a good idea. Hugging Benjamin from behind Thomas said, "that's my ghost always thinking ahead with a kind and giving heart". Bill had gotten up and was looking over Thomas's shoulder at the design with an excited smile on his young handsome face. "Benjamin can you design a fountain for the courtyard, that would be something special for all of us living here to enjoy, and with the courtyard completely closed in like you have it, it could be a clothing optional area for us to nude sunbath in". "Yo! Bill, this is dad speaking here, what's this clothing optional thingy you're speaking of?" "Dad, I'm going to be thirteen by the time this is done and believe it or not I do know what naked men look like. "I just thought it would be a fun area for relaxing and nude sunbathing". Larry said, "Actually that would be nice, we could get all over tans". "Larry, you're NOT helping". Brad spoke up saying, "I like the idea Bill, it's completely private and still it would be getting sun most of the day for optimum sunbathing. "BRAD, stop encouraging him". Gavin said, "Glen you can't keep Bill a little boy forever, he's exceptionally intelligent and is well aware of the fact that we're all gay". "GAVIN, you're a pastor you're supposed to be on my side here". "Glen we're all on your side, and we also know Bill is growing into manhood and we need to allow him that experience without overly protecting him from the reality of life". "I also know if you're dead set against anyone laying outside in the courtyard naked when Bill's around the house that there isn't one man here who won't respect your wishes". Thomas stepped up to Glen and put his arm around his shoulders. "What Gavin said is true Glen we'll use bathing suits, it's not a big deal, please don't get upset over something that you have complete control over". "You know how much we all love Bill and how much we all love you, the decisions you make concerning your son are law around here". "Understood?" Glen sat down with his head in his hands as Bill came over and wrapped his arms around him, "dad I'm sorry, I didn't realize what I said would upset you, do you forgive me?" "Of course I forgive you Bill, if you'll forgive me for coming unglued every time I see you taking another step into manhood". Pulling his son into his lap he started tickling Bill's sides letting his son squirm and giggle for several minutes as the others watched Glen lovingly play with him. Putting Bill down Glen looked at everyone with teary eyes as he said, "I don't want to lose my little boy and I know I have to stop treating him like a little boy, you guys are going to have to help me let him grow up". Benjamin said, "we're with you all the way Glen, we're here for you and Bill both, you know how much we all love you". "Yes I do know, and that's what going to keep me sane as I watch Bill grow up, letting go isn't going to be easy". Teasing Thomas added, oh we're never completely letting go of Bill, we'll be watching every step he takes, he'd better be careful, one of us will be peeking around every corner at everything he does and when he thinks he's safe, Benjamin will be secretly watching him, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha". Bill shivered as he said, "Man you guys are giving me the creeps, you better not watch me masturbate". "Aaaaaaaaggghhh!" Glen screamed, "you're not masturbating already are you?" Laughing Gavin said, "take a deep breath Glen....deep breaths....DEEP brea...."Oh shut up, I'm going upstairs and drown myself in the bathtub". Laughing their loving asses off everyman there gave Glen a hug and a kiss, Thomas said "let's go out on the veranda and have cold beer, maybe that'll help Glen relax. Laughing Bill started out with the rest of the guys....his dad turned and gave him a look that could freeze fire....Bill cracked up laughing, "dad, I'm going to have a soda,..... beer you,..... soda me. Robin said, "really babe you need to relax a bit, Larry and I have our work cut for us when we get you in bed tonight". Glen threw his hands up, rolling his eyes as he looked at Robin, "and you had to say that in front of my son?" Bill was laughing so hard soda was coming out his nose. Larry jumped into the conversation with, "think back Glen, when did you first start masturbating, you were probably stroking your pole by the time you were ten". Glen yelled, "what the fuck is this anyway, let's embarrass Glen in front of his son day?" Thomas had been taking a drink of beer as he hear the guys teasing Glen and nearly choked as he swallowed and started laughing at the same time. Patting Thomas on the back Benjamin said, you guys need to give Glen a break he's been a good sport about all this teasing. Larry and Robin kissed Glen on each cheek as they whispered, "we love you Glen". Turning Glen kissed them both back, "I know you guys love me, I don't know what I'd do without you". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May twenty- eighth, and the pool was finished the day after Bill's thirteenth birthday. School was out and the guys were having a BBQ to celebrate Bill's birthday and the completion of the pool. It was the first time Bill had brought a friend home to meet his dad and the rest of the guys. When Bill walked in with his friend David, Benjamin whispered to Thomas, "has Bill got good taste in men or what?" "Ben, David might just be a buddy, let's not make something out Bill bringing a hot looking young man home". Ah, Thomas did you notice you said, "hot" looking young man instead of "good" looking, or "nice" looking?" "Yeah that did sort of slip out didn't it, well David is a hot looking young man what can I say". With a smirk on his face Ben said, "You just said it Thomas, he's a HOT looking young man". Glen made everyone promise that they wouldn't go overboard on buying gifts for Bill to which they all had agreed. (yeah right!) They all agreed to a pool christening swim before dinner and giving Bill his birthday presents. Bill had introduced David to everyone and David appeared completely relaxed around all the guys. Glen took a sigh of relief as he went to his room to change into swimwear with Larry and Robin. All the guys were waiting for Bill and David to arrive since they were intending to throw Bill into the pool while singing happy birthday. Bill and David came running in wearing white speedos that left very little to the imagination and by the looks of things those two boys came well equipped. Larry whispered into Glen's ear telling him to relax, they're young and that's what the kids are wearing now so "r-e-l-a-x" Glen. Robin added yes honey lets make sure we don't embarrass Bill the first time he brings a friend home. "Okay guys, I'm doing my best". Robin said, "paste a smile on your face Glen, you look like you're about to pass out". "Do I?" "That's because I am about to pass out". Thomas, Brad, and Gavin grabbed Bill as he fought to get away, "Glen, Robin, Larry, we need your help over here if we're going to christen the pool and our teenage son properly". The guys joined in on the fun as they swung Bill, singing Happy Birthday as they let him fly halfway across the pool, ker splash". David stood at the edge of the pool laughing as Bill went flying through the air, Larry and Robin grabbed his arms as the others took his legs and he was the next to go splashing into the pool as Bill watched and laughed. Everyone dove in and the party began, Glen managed to loosen up as he saw his handsome son laughing and as happy as a thirteen year old could possibly be. Everyone was having the time of their life, the pool was a winner, it was obvious it would get a lot of use. David and Bill frolicked and played with all the guys having a great time, it appeared David was totally at ease here with all the guys. I'm sure everyone wondered if Bill had clued David into the fact that we were gay. After about forty-five minutes Thomas, Larry, Robin and Brad climbed out of the pool and were working on fixing burgers and getting other things ready for dinner, when all of a sudden it was quiet, no splashing, no talking, no moving, everything and everyone stopped what they were doing as they watched David and Bill wrapped around each other in the center of the pool enjoying a beautiful and passionate kiss. Larry was standing in the water beside Glen watching to see his reaction to what his son and David were doing. He noticed a tear running down Glen's cheek. Leaning in to Glen with his arm around his waist Larry said, "I hope that's a happy tear Glen". Turning to look at Larry Glen said, "that's a "I'm not sure tear" I guess, I'm happy and scared at the same time Larry". "I understand exactly how you're feeling Glen, keep in mind all of us who love Bill are having the same reaction you are". "How do we protect Bill from the hurt that can come not only with being gay but the hurt of losing your first love". "Let's be happy for them both for now Glen, they may end up growing old together as far as any of us knows, so let's take it one day at a time". "Bill's lucky he has all of us to support him if something hurtful happens, I hope David has someone to love and support him as well". Glen turned and kissed Larry, "how did you become so wise?" "I think we all have learned a lot from you sweetheart". "Do you remember what Thomas said when he wanted us to help throw Bill in the pool, I believe it was, let's christen OUR teenage son". "Yes I caught that comment, my heart almost burst with love for all of you when he said that". "Larry I'm so fortunate to have found you and Robin, and all of the guys here that are so filled with love for each other". Later that evening when David had gone home and Bill was in his room working on homework Glen knocked on his door. "Come on in dad". "How'd you know it was me Bill?" "Ah... come on dad I've been expecting you, you know you want to ask me about David". Laughing Glen said, "okay smarty pants you're right I want to ask you about David". "Bill, you never mentioned anything to me about being attracted to guys so naturally we were all a bit surprised when you were kissing David in the pool knowing we would all be watching you". "Dad I wasn't sure about how I felt until I met David". "I knew I was attracted to guy's enough to check them out in the showers at school, but it seems like all the guys were checking each other out". "I guess I thought it was just a natural part of male sexual curiosity, but when I saw David the feeling was different, I felt different inside". "It's hard to explain, it seems like my heart beat a little faster, I'd feel flushed and I'd start getting an erection, sometimes it was embarrassing". "One day he came up to me and shook my hand and introduced himself, when we touched it was like sparks flying and he felt it too". Glen hugged his son as he explained, "Bill that is definitely sexual attraction and from what you've said it's a mutual attraction". Bill went on to tell his dad that it was David who actual made the first move to introduce himself and when they started having lunch together David would sit close enough to press his leg against Bill's and Bill would push back. One day when we were alone David reached under the table and felt my cock which was rock hard, it was then he said he felt the same way about me. David took my hand and put it on his cock so I could feel he was also hard. "Dad I creamed my jeans right there and then without even touching myself". Glen had to laugh at his son's embarrassment at telling him about it. Glen asked if David was aware that he had climaxed, "yeah he started laughing as he looked around to see if anyone was watching before he kissed my cheek". "David handed me his hanky and told me to use it to clean myself up". "We went into the boy's room and when I pulled my pants down, David took his hanky back and cleaned my cock off and wiped what he could from my briefs". "I started to pull my briefs and pants up when he took my cock in his mouth and swallowed me right down to my pubic hair and then slowly sucked my cock which had gotten hard again, I told him I was going to cum again and he just looked up at me and shook his head yes, a couple of seconds later I shot my load down his throat". "David said he had never done that before but the taste was wonderful and he hoped we could do it again". "Dad I have never felt anything so exciting and good as it did when David sucked my cock, is it always like that?" Glen was becoming more at ease discussing this with Bill especially since Bill was curious and was asking questions without appearing overly embarrassed. "It's pretty much always a fantastic feeling Bill especially if you're with someone you really care about". Love and sex is a two way street, it's not only about what you're feeling, but also about the pleasure you can give your partner, have you ever sucked David's cock?" (I can't believe I just asked my son if he's ever sucked cock)... Bill replied, "of course dad, I wanted him to feel the same fantastic feeling I had when he did it to me". "It was just as wonderful knowing I was giving him pleasure as it was when he was giving me pleasure". "Bill you may only be thirteen but I swear you're more mature than a lot of adults". "I don't understand dad, what do you mean?" "Bill there's a lot of people in life who think it's all about them, it's a matter of getting what they want and then walking away, it's selfish and hurtful to those they're with". "I'm proud of you in so many ways Bill, you have a beautiful heart and spirit, I wish I could keep you from ever being hurt, but I'm afraid that's beyond my capabilities as a father no matter how much I want to". "You're the best dad a son could have and I know you'll always be there for me", with that Bill hugged his dad as he whispered, "I love you with all my heart dad, and I always will, thanks for being the man that you are". Glen kissed Bill's forehead and started to leave as Bill asked, "is it alright if David visits more often, I don't want to be a bother to the other guys". Glen said, "Bill, you can have David over anytime, you know all the other guys think of you as their son, they love you as their own". "I know dad, sometimes when I'm thanking God for my blessings it makes me cry knowing I have so many people who love me, I want to share that with David he`s kind of alone, he`s never told his dad or anyone he`s gay". "You know he's safe here Bill, is his mother still at home?" "No dad, David's mother died when he was born, he thinks his dad blames him, and he's kind of grown up taking care of himself". "His dad just ignores him most of the time, he said his dad's never been mean or unkind and he has all the things he needs, it's just that his dad rarely speaks to him or acknowledges he exists". Glen felt his heart ache for David knowing how much love his son gets from everyone here, what a kind heart Bill has to want to share the love that's given so generously to him with David. "Dear God, thank you for my son I love him so very much he has such a pure heart". The next Friday following the last day of school David came home with Bill, the boys asked if David could stay over for the weekend. Glen told them it was fine as long as David's dad knew where he was and had given him permission. David said he had already asked his dad and it was fine to spend the weekend. Later that afternoon the doorbell rang and when Robin answered it he found it was Darin, David's dad. As Robin looked at Darin he was thinking, it's easy to see where David got his good looks. "I'm Robin, is there something I can do for you?" "I just wanted to make sure David was here, I worry about him with our society as it is today". "He's a good kid and I want him to stay that way". "David and Bill are in the pool, please come in I'm sure he'll be happy to see you". "Thanks but it might be better if he didn't know I was here". Darin looked so uncomfortable and ill at ease that when Robin reached out to shake his hand he used it to pull Darin into the house. Glen came downstairs just as Darin turned to go back out the door, "Robin aren't you going to introduce me to our guest?" "Glen I'm glad you came down, this is David's dad, Darin, Darin this is Bill's dad Glen". Looking up at Glen Darin reached out to shake his hand with a big smile on his face, "you're Bill's dad, it's nice to meet you, all Dave talks about is Bill, I was beginning to think Bill was a saint among saints". "He's no saint but a great kid and so is your son David, we've only just met him on Bill's birthday but he made an impression on us as being a well mannered young man". Robin interrupted, "Glen's being modest Bill really is a saint and you know it". "Yeah well you guys spoil him too much for his own good and you know it". Laughing Robin said, "well you got me there Glen, why don't you take Darin out to the patio and I'll bring out a couple of beers". "I should be going," "don't be silly it's close to dinner time and we're having steaks grilled out in the courtyard you might as well join us". "Come on out I'll show you the pool, David will be surprised to see you". Looking a tad dismal Darin mumbled "and disappointed". Having heard Darin's comment Glen asked if Darin would mind talking before going out to the pool. "I'm sorry Glen I shouldn't have mumbled that so you could hear it". "It's okay Darin, it's obvious from your expression that something is bothering you concerning your son, if you don't mind I'd like to talk it over with you". "First Darin let me say that whatever you say to me will be considered confidential". "Please take you time and tell me what's bothering you, it's important". "Glen, Dave's mother died during childbirth, I was rushing her to the hospital when the baby started to come, I pulled over to the shoulder and delivered the baby from the back seat of my car". I wrapped David up in my shirt and placed him on the front seat as I tried to help Elizabeth, but I couldn't stop the hemorrhaging and she died shortly after I got her to the hospital". "The doctors in the Emergency Room told me there was nothing anyone could have done in her case and after cleaning David up and checking him over I was allowed to take him home". "I did my best to give him the love and attention he needed, but I've always felt guilty because I wasn't able to save his mother and I'm afraid he holds me responsible for his mother's death". Glen leaned in and took hold of Darin's hands, "Darin what you don't realize is that David thinks you old him responsible for his mother's death". Shocked Darin said, "how could I ever hold him responsible he was an innocent child, I was just happy that I had him, I could never hold him responsible for his mother's death". "Darin have you and David been close?" "No, I didn't think he would want to be close, I wanted to but I just didn't seem to know what to do to make him love me". "Darin will you do me a favor?" "I don't understand, you want me to do you a favor?". "Yes, let's go to my room and I want you to put on one of my bathing suits and I want you and I do go out and dive into that pool and do a little rough-housing with our sons and see what happens". "Glen I'm not sure this is a good idea, what if David freaks out he and I have never done things together?" "I got that Darin and it's time you started enjoying the love of your son while there's still time, they grow up fast and time doesn't wait for us to figure things out". Glen and Darin put on bathing suits and headed to the pool trying to sneak in if it was possible and surprise the boys. They managed to get in when Dave and Bill were racing to the far end of the pool, they dove in swimming underwater as the boys turned and were racing back towards them. Glen grabbed Bill by the waist and threw him in the air scaring the dickens out of him, following Glen's example Darin did the same to his son. Dave was still in mid air when he recognized his dad in the pool as he yelled "DAD, what are you doing here?" Glen took the lead saying, "we're here to teach you two pups how to swim like men instead of sissy boys that's what we're doing here". "Come on Darin lets show these two how to dive for starters". "Bill screamed "sissy boys", we'll show you two old farts who the sissy boys are, anything you can do we can do better, come on David". Glen was first to the diving board and did a beautiful sumersault slipping into the water gracefully, Darin followed with a sumersault and a jack-knife also entering the water smooth as silk". "David you never said what a great swimmer your dad is". "Ah....I didn't know he was, I never saw him swim before". Darin had caught on to Glen's game and yelled, "hey sissy boys how about a four lap race if you're up to it". Dave yelled, "don't call us sissy boys, we'll show you what fast is, line up on the edge and we dive in on the count of three". Darin looked over at his son who had a big smile on his handsome face, gave him a wink and dove in on the count of three. It was a close race with Darin coming in first followed by Bill, Glen and David. The four of them sat on the edge of the pool trying to catch their breath as Glen congratulated Darin on his speed, "Darin you're Olympic quality have you ever tried out?" "Actually I did when I was eighteen, I made the team but canceled with my dad died of cancer to help mom take care of the younger kids. Dave looking at his dad like it was the first time he'd seen him said, "dad I didn't know that, why didn't you ever tell me?" Darin looked at his son saying, "Dave I guess we have a lot of catching up to do, I'm sorry I haven't been a better dad, I hope you'll forgive me". "You've been a good dad, I just wish we could have been closer, I'm sorry mom died giving birth to me, I know that must have been hard for you and I understand why you've been distant". "Actually Dave you don't understand why I haven't been close, I've never blamed you for anything, I've always been proud of you for being the wonderful son that you are, I thought you blamed me for not being able to save your mother". With that Darin got up and pulled his son into his arms, "I love you so much David, we should have had this talk years ago and it's my fault not yours, you have been the reason for me to continue living". Thomas opened the door and yelled, "steaks are ready, everybody needs to grab a plate and get started". Glen noticed Darin couldn't help looking at the boys in their wet speedo's that just about left them looking naked. They were hard not to look at with their youthful, muscled, and well defined bodies. Both boys were obviously well endowed and would make any father proud. The steaks were delicious as where the ice cold beers, Dave and Bill sat close together and talked non-stop about Dave's dad coming over and swimming with them and what fun it was. Darin kept glancing at the boys with a smile on his face, "it's good to see Dave has a close friend and is so happy". Glen asked if Dave had talked much about those of us who live here, and Darin said, "not really he mostly talks about Bill and what a great friend he is". Glen decided to be up front about being gay thinking it was wrong to let Darin think otherwise. "Darin, I want to be honest with you, so I might as well just come out with it, we're all gay here". "I hope that won't scare you away and I want you to know no one would ever touch your son sexually so you needn't worry about that". "Glen I respect you for telling me, but I kind of figured that out when I saw all these sexy guys living here together". Darin went on to say he got the feeling right away that these men were all men of integrity and wouldn't take advantage of either Bill or Dave. Laughing Glen added, "not only that but they'd skin anyone alive that did try and take advantage of the boys, we're a pretty protective group here Darin". Darin asked if Dave and Bill had had sex together, "it's obvious that David is crazy about Bill". "Well I think that's a question for you to ask your son Darin". Darin smiled at Glen as he said, "I think that just answered my question Glen and I want you to know it's okay, I've often wondered what having sex with another man would be like myself". That comment had Glen's interest as he said, "sex with another man is the most wonderful feeling in the world Darin, and having sex with a man you love is doubly wonderful, but then I'm speaking from a gay man's point of view". Blushing Darin admitted that he wouldn't have any idea how to go about it. "Darin it's as natural as having sex with a woman, but in my case it's twice as satisfying". "It's been fourteen years since I've done anything more than use my hand Glen". "Darin you've got to be kidding me". "No it's true, after Dave's mother died I had no desire to be with another woman". "Darin have you ever felt a sexual attraction to another man?" "Yes". "But you haven't followed though on your feelings?" "No". "For crying out loud man, why not?" "I doubt they'd have the same interest Glen, I'm not exactly someone who'd attract another guy even if they were interested in men". "Excuse me for saying this so bluntly, but are you nuts?" "You are one stunning hunk of manhood if I've ever seen one". Blushing Darin said, "do you find yourself attracted to me?" "Of course I'm attracted to you, everyman here has given you the once over and then some". "It also appears that everyone here has a partner, although I haven't seen anyone with Thomas and he's extremely handsome". "Aaaaaah well, there is a reason for that, it's just not something we bring up right away when someone new comes to visit". Bill and David walked over having overheard some of Glen and Darin's conversation. Very hesitatingly Dave put his arm around his dad's shoulders as he stood beside where Darin was sitting. Observing his hesitation made Glen's heart ache. Darin reached around his son's waist and pulled him in tight and David smiled the most beautiful smile. Bill of course threw his arms around his dad and kissed his cheek. Dave spoke up saying, "Thomas's lover's name is Benjamin". This caught Glen off guard not realizing Bill had filled Dave in on our resident ghost. Looking a Dave Glen asked, if he'd seen Benjamin. "No, not yet, but Bill told me to be aware that Benjamin like to play jokes". "You're telling me there's a ghost living here who's Thomas's lover?" Darin threw his head back and laughed, "you know you guys are pushing your luck if you expect me to believe that". Hearing that Benjamin spoke up, "well you better get used to it if you're going to spend much time around here". Darin did a 360 looking for someone nearby who could have said that. Benjamin handed Darin a fresh beer not bothering to materialize first of course. Darin didn't faint, but he did slid out of his chair onto the floor spilling his beer. Larry and Robin came over and helped Darin up as Thomas told Benjamin to stop the bullshit and show himself. "Will you stop calling me Benny boy?" "No". "Then I'm not showing myself". "Alright no more Benny boy, now show yourself and apologize to Darin for scaring him half to death". Benjamin did make his appearance and he did apologize to Darin and David, although David didn't seem to be the least bit unnerved by what just happened. Benjamin reached out to shake Darin's hand, Darin took it hesitating at first, but he took it. Nice to meet you Darin and I really am sorry for startling you, it was the only leverage I had to make Thomas stop calling me Benny boy, I really hate it when he does that". "Laughing as he kissed Benjamin Thomas said, "but Benjamin it's only because I love you so much". "Yeah right". Darin sat back in his chair smelling of the beer he'd spilt. Robin, took a towel and started whipping him off as Larry said, "Robin Darin might want to shower first to get the beer smell off, or we can all take a swim and the chlorine will take off the beer smell and then we can shower the chlorine smell off". Bill and David both voted for a swim so they all jumped or dove into the pool, Darin still hadn't said a word since meeting Benjamin but he did join in. Once in the pool Benjamin joined Darin and once again apologized to him, "I really am sorry Darin, are you okay?" "Yes I think so, it's a bit much to accept, but it appears everyone else is fine with it so I guess I'd better be". Robin swam up saying, "he really is a wonderful guy Darin and he's also very protective of us". "That's a good thing to know since it appears Dave may be spending a lot of time here with Bill". "Darin, Glen has filled Larry and I in on part of the conversation you guys had and we'd all like to offer you an invitation to stay the weekend with us, I think David would be thrilled and we'd all like for you to stay". "That's nice of you guys, but I'd feel like I was a fifth wheel or something and where would I sleep?" Glen and Larry joined the conversation at this point. "Darin we have lots of room so you could have your own room, but Robin, Larry and I would like to have you spent the night with us if you're willing". "We'd love to show you the joy of man to man sex and nothing would happen that you didn't want to happen". Darin was surprised to put it mildly, "are all of you lovers?" "Yes we are and we're all attracted to you and really hope you'll join us this evening, but it's entirely up to you". Half laughing Darin said, "I want to but at the same time I'm scared". "Darin we understand how you feel and we respect those feelings". "Give it some thought and know that we want you to join us, so please feel comfortable with whatever decision you make". All three men kissed Darin lightly as they swam off, leaving him slightly stunned but with a throbbing erection. As Darin stood there in the pool considering all that has happened Dave swam up behind him and wrapped his legs around his dad's waist and his arms around his neck. "Hi dad". Darin reached up and pulled his son's head next to his cheek so he was hugging him, "hi son". "So dad what do you think of this place?" Thinking for a minute before answering, Darin said, "I can see why you like to be here, there's something really special about it, especially the love of these men and more than that it's the integrity and respect they all have for each other". "I've been here only for a few hours and yet I feel perfectly comfortable in a situation with gay men, including a ghost, something that I've never believed in before today". "Dad you do know I'm gay don't you?" "Yes David, I kind of figured that out the way you look at Bill, and I'm happy for you". "Bill said the guys have invited you to spend the weekend, I wish you would consider it, it's been great to have you here". Dave said, "I know this sounds silly but I've loved you so much all my life, but this is the first time I've felt like you loved me back". "With tear filled eyes Darin pulled his son around so he was in front of him and hugged him as tight as he could, "I have always loved you, you were and are my soul reason for living David". "Please forgive me for not making you know that before now". Dave hugged his dad back also crying, "I think this may be the happiness day of my life dad". It was dark out late as some of the guys headed to bed each wishing the others goodnight as they went. Robin and Larry also had gone up and were showering as Glen sat with Darin as they finished their beers. Darin sat deep in thought, "well it truth or darn time, what's it going to be?" Looking at Glen he got up and said, "I think I'd better shower off this chlorine before bed". "Good idea, come on we can shower together, we have one huge shower big enough for all of us". Stripping off their swim suits Glen held open the door for Darin as he stepped in with Robin and Larry who without a doubt were waiting for just this to happen. Darin stepped under one of the shower heads as Larry and Robin started soaping he and Glen up. Their hands on him felt wonderful and he knew there was no way he could keep from getting an instant erection. Turning back to the front he saw that they all had boners and they didn't hesitate to reach down and wash his crotch, balls, and cock right on down his legs, yikes this felt fantastic. As he and Glen turned so they were facing each other as Robin and Larry continued to wash them Glen leaned in and kissed Darin on the lips, Darin kiss him back, Glen pulled him into a body hug with cocks rubbing and he licked across Darin's lips. Darin open to him letting Glens' tongue to explore his mouth, the feeling was wonderful, his sexual arousal was something he'd never felt so powerful before. Suddenly his cock was engulfed by a warm, wet mouth as Larry sucked him into his throat. Robin was on his knees doing the same to Glen, the sexual stimulation of this first ever man to man sex was driving Darin wild with a passion he hadn't realized possible. Larry run a finger over Darin's asshole making Darin's legs quiver with excitement. Larry and Robin switched so they were now sucking the other man's cock, Darin noticed the difference in technique, it was too much to hold back as he shot his first load of the night into Robin's waiting mouth, Robin never missed a drop of Darin's cum and licked his cock clean before sucking Darin's balls in for a tongue washing. Darin literally slid down the wall his legs were so weak. He opened his eye just in time to see Glen shoot his load down Larry's throat as Larry sucked Glen's nuts dry of every drop. Larry kissed Glen running his tongue into Glen's mouth sharing his cum. Robin dropped to his knees and looked into Darin's eyes waiting for a signal that he wanted Robin to share his cum, without hesitation Darin leaned in and sucked Robin's tongue into his mouth sucking his own cum off Robin's tongue and swallowing it down. He thought the taste was incredible. If this is what took place in the shower Darin couldn't imagine what fun lay ahead once they got in bed together. To be Continued: Jason Gardham
