Chapter Four

 

One benefit that had come when Mexico took over our area was that now, we were able to get goods that before, we would have had to rely on the scavengers to find. Jake had some gold he'd hoarded before the collapse, some of which he'd converted to pesos, and after some rigorous haggling with a traveling vendor, he was able to get a reasonable deal on a refrigerator and freezer as a wedding/housewarming gift for Carter and Katy. We were at the house finishing up last minute things when the big delivery truck arrived and they brought the appliances in. They wouldn't do much good right now, since the guys hadn't tied the house into our private grid yet. That would be the next project; adding a third turbine to the small dam in the valley.

The Alvarez's got there right at ten. Diego jumped out and ran over to say hello to Ben. Tony asked Jake about the private power grid and Jake asked Ben if he would take the four-wheelers and show Mr. Alvarez the power plant at the white water. Tony took one of the ATVs and Ben and Diego jumped on the other one and Ben took off on the trail leading to the little rock building. As they rode, Diego's hands slipped their grip lower and lower. When they got to the mostly flat, smooth area the hands dropped into the junction between Ben's legs where they found a firm protuberance. Ben could feel something poking at his back as well. At the dam site, the boys jumped off and tried to smooth out the hard spots while Tony caught up. Ben showed him into the small brick building that house the workings for the power plant.

"Impressive" Tony said. "You guys designed and built this?"

"All the men helped, but but it was based on Mr. Sims plans. He used to work as an electrical engineer for a power company before the collapse" Ben told him.

"I'd like to talk to this Mr. Sims. I have some ideas about updating his design" Tony said.

"I'm sure that can be arranged" Ben said, "I'm surprised Keith and Callie haven't been over to meet you guys already."

"No, not yet. I guess we should get back to the house, the metal for the roof is supposed to there early today" Mr. Alvarez said.

They all took off; this time Tony took the lead since he knew where he was going. Behind him the wandering hands had wasted no time on the return trip; they were in Ben's lap from the time Diego climbed on the vehicle. Ben was having a hard time concentrating on the trail while his meat was being tenderized by Diego's very passionate hands. He finally had to push them away so he wouldn't mess up his pants or run into a tree. Back at the house the crew was already putting on the metal roofing. The roofing was a gift from Katy's mom and dad, along with some other things.

"Go inside and help your mother put up the curtain rods" Jake said.

"Diego, take your brothers up another box of screws" Tony shouted. It was as if there was a plan to separate the boys.

It looked like it was going to be all work this morning. The big surprise came when Walt Smith drove up with most of the bedroom furniture. He still needed to finish the dresser but we took the bed, chest of drawers and nightstands inside and set them up. That meant the Kowalski's wedding present, a like-new mattress set, wouldn't have to lay in the floor; we put it directly on the bed. Around four o'clock the roof was done.

Jake slapped Carter on the back and said "I think you can take it from here, son." The construction party cleaned up and dispersed. Ben offered to give Diego a ride home. Tony said "Don't be late for dinner, your mother will be very unhappy." They still had a couple of hours, so Ben decided it would be a long trip home.

Diego and Ben were the last to leave. Instead of going toward Diego's house Ben took off toward the dam again, but at the last fork he veered right and took them to a place he and Micah used to go. It was just a small clearing but it was very secluded. By the time they got there Ben was trying to bust the zipper out of his jeans and felt like something was going to bore a hole into his back.

"What do you want to do?" Ben asked.

"I'm don't really know. I haven't done much before" Diego said softly.

"Let's just take it slow, then" Ben said, gently smoothing Diego's hair while staring into his eyes. One of the things about dark-haired guys is that where they have hair, its more noticeable, and Ben had just noticed the fine line of black fuzz lining Diego's upper lip. He ran his thumb lightly across the proto-mustache until he was surprised as Diego took his wandering thumb into his mouth and began sucking on it. Ben's peter lurched at the confines of his pants. He pulled the thumb out and replaced it with his tongue as he kissed his new friend. Diego was new to kissing, but caught on quickly and soon he was tongue wrestling with Ben. Ben's hand made its way down to the firm lump in Diego's pants and began massaging it the way the boy had done him earlier on the ATV. Diego broke the kissing and leaned back to unbutton the pants and pull the zipper open, showing off a considerable sized black bush inside; but it was the intoxicating smell that got to Ben. He looked at Diego as if telepathically asking permission, then reached in and pulled out the big brown tube. Diego's was at least an inch longer than his, which is to say about 6.5", not to mention heftier and just inside the tip of the foreskin was a shiny glaze that Ben gathered with his thumb and brought to his mouth to sample. When Ben's thumb grazed the tip of his penis, Diego shuddered a little and a small pulse of the clear fluid bubbled up to replace what Ben took away.

"Just lay back" Ben told him quietly, as he leaned over and sucked the beautiful object into his mouth. He'd only just begun to bob up and down on the brown cock when Diego, having not had this kind of experience before, stiffened and began emptying his balls into Ben's mouth.

"Oh God! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I couldn't hold it" Diego squeaked out between labored breaths.

"Don't be sorry" Ben smiled, licking his lips, "you are delicious!"

"That was, maybe, probably, the best thing I've ever felt in my life" Diego gushed, as he reached for Ben's zipper. Diego had planned to return the favor, but Ben was wound tighter than a clock spring at this point and Diego barely had pulled the cock out when it started firing white strings of cum on the ground between them. Diego's hand was covered in dripping white boy sauce. He brought the hand to his mouth and tentatively gave it a taste.

"Mmm. I like it" he said "I wish I could have tasted it straight from the spigot."

"Maybe next time" Ben said, smiling.

As they rode back out of the woods, Ben was thinking that something felt different with Diego than it had with Micah. The feeling was stronger, more exciting than with Micah; it felt like they were meant to be together. Before they entered the gate of Rancho Alvarez, Ben stopped the four-wheeler and kissed his new friend again; then continued on to the house. Diego jumped off and Ben waved goodbye and went on home feeling like he was on Cloud Nine.

 

As the days in November ticked by, we heard news from some traders that the government of Canada had begun taking over areas to the north. At first just along the old border, but once they figured out there was no resistance left, they had claimed everything north of the 40th parallel as part of The Greater Canadian Commonwealth. At one time this would have meant a lot; the gain of massive cities like New York, Chicago, Seattle. But since the Collapse and the Day of Tears it mostly meant being stewards over the land so that European or Asians wouldn't be tempted to invade it. To the former Americans living in those areas, it was a good thing. It meant the possibility of getting a power grid back up and returning to a somewhat normal life; much the same as when Mexico took over our territory. The only remnant of the former country was in the southeast; more or less the same states that originally made up the Confederacy banned together and formed their own small country they called the American Federation. In Texas, there were still some ongoing skirmishes for control of areas. The Texans wanted to take back the land and reform the Republic of Texas; but after the bombing of Houston and Dallas and the Federales takeover of the state house in Austin, the average Texan no longer had an appetite for any more death and destruction. Most places resistance popped up, the Federales shut it back down pretty fast. The whole world was reverting to at least something of a new status quo.

Here at home, Ben and Diego had become constant companions. Ben had decided to take all the time Diego wanted since he was the neophyte in their relationship. So far, they hadn't progressed past the oral stage as Diego was kind of afraid of the pain associated with `enculada' as he called it; no doubt from stories Luis had told him. Jake, despite his misgivings about them, had to admit that being around Diego had made Bennett much better behaved. Diego and Miguel were very well mannered and polite and it was rubbing off on Ben, along with some proficiency in Spanish. Miguel had rubbed off on Sandra too; she was totally enamored of him. Tony and Imelda loved her and Tony had joked with Jake that they may be having to build another house soon. On the week of the 20th, we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday the 23rd, followed by Dixon's 14th birthday on that Sunday the 26th. Dixon made a big deal of rubbing in that he was older than me again.

The trails still retained a dusting of snow, but so far there had not been another big storm like the first one of the year. Carter and Katy had gotten some food donations from everyone in the group, but Carter wasn't satisfied that they could make it with the small amount of meat they had, so he asked Ben and Dix to hunt with him again.

Early December, even in the foothills of the Rockies, is cold. As usual, Ben was sent out to flush out the game. He trudged over the frozen ground; it was almost impossible not to make noise the way the ground crunched underneath his feet. Ben circled behind a big bank of underbrush and then started stomping his way toward it when he saw an animal jump and run. He had a sudden rush of excitement as it was way too big to be a whitetail, it looked like a bull elk. When it jumped the creek and ran toward the field where Carter and Dixon were waiting, he heard two shots, a pause, then a third shot followed by an excited whoop. He ran back around and into the field and saw them assessing the beast. It was a young bull, but still probably close to 500lbs of fresh meat. Now their only problem was getting it out of here. They decided to send Ben back to the house to get dad with the diesel; they'd start field dressing the bull while he went back. Ben jumped on his ATV and shoved his rifle into the scabbard and got home as fast as he could. Jake listened to Ben's enthusiastic retelling of the story and before Ben was done, he was grabbing the keys telling the kid to come on and show him where they are. They stopped where the other ATVs were parked and locked in the four-wheel drive just in case before going into the valley. When the truck pulled up on Carter and Dix, they looked like they'd been in a battle; they had blood splattered from head to toe, but both were smiling like idiots.

"Where are we going to put all this?" Jake mused,

"We'll split it between the families" Carter said "but I get first pick."

"More than fair" Jake said.

They loaded everything up in the truck and left the ATVs, Jake would bring them back later to pick those up. Back at the house Maggie and Sandy had everything set up for butchering, this much meat would take a while. She and Sandy started portioning the meat as the men went back for the four-wheelers. Maggie sent Ben for reinforcements. The closest neighbors were the Petersons so she had him ride over and get Deb Peterson to come.

This would be the first trip he'd made to Peterson's since being dumped by Micah and he wasn't really looking forward to it. He determined to make it all business; get in and get out. Ken Peterson was in the yard cutting wood when he drove up.

"Haven't seen you around in a long time" Micah's dad said to Ben.

"Mom, sent me to see if Debbie can come help her do some butchering" Ben told him "Carter took down an elk."

"Sure thing, we'll be over in a few minutes" Ken said. "Micah's in the house if you want to come in..."

"No thanks, I need to get back..." he trailed off, determined to not break his streak of avoiding Micah. He waved, hit the starter and took off.

Deborah and her daughter Becky showed up a little after Ben got back and the four women made a meat factory out of the kitchen. Carter came in long enough to tell mom the cuts he wanted for him and Katy before going around back to his house to wash the blood off and change. Dixon was doing the same in the laundry shed out back. Dixon asked Ben to get him some clean clothes and bring them down; he didn't want to get blood all through the house. When Ben walked in with the clothes, Dix was bare-assed and Ben casually checked out his brother to see if anything had changed since their little tryst. Other than a little more hair, it all looked basically the same.

"While you're just standing there, take this rag and wash my back. Since I'm having to take a bath, I might as well have a real one" he said.

Ben grabbed the rag and soaped up Dixon's shoulders and upper back and moved downward. He told Dixon to bend over and he ran the rag through his crack, paying special attention to the hole, shoving a finger tip in just a little.

"That's clean enough!" Dix said, "No funny business." Dix handed Ben the bucket of water and braced himself. Ben poured the icy cold water and watched it flow from Dix's head down his body. It was funny to watch Dix's jewels shrink up nearly into his body from the cold, for some reason all this activity was causing little Ben to act up in big Ben's pants; Ben felt like he needed to go see Diego. He left Dix's clothes on the table and went out while his brother was drying off. He walked into the house and his mother shoved a load of wrapped meat packages in his arms.

"Take that batch to Imelda and don't stay gone all day" she said.

Ben took the meat out and strapped it down on the racks on the ATV, made sure everything was secure and took off. It was a hell of a coincidence that he needed to see Diego and he was having to make a trip to the Alvarez's. He pulled up to the house and Luis came out to investigate.

"Mom sent me over with some meat, we killed an elk this morning" Ben said, hoping to not have trouble from the pendejo.

"Typical" Luis said, "a maricon trying to share his meat."

Tony came out to see what was going on and Luis went to a sweet and innocent act.

"Papi, our neighbors have brought us carne fresca" he said.

"I hope you have room in your freezer" Ben added.

They carried the meat inside and with a little rearranging they got it to all fit.

"Tell Maggie I said thank you" Imelda said.

"I will" Ben said.

"Can I go over to Ben's, papi?" Diego asked.

"Sure, be back before dinner, we may be having elk" Tony said. Behind him Luis made the hand gesture of putting the index finger of one hand into circled fingers of the other, the fucking sign.

"What does that mean, Luis?" Ben asked, copying his motions. He turned red and went back inside.

"I'll get it for that" Diego said.

"Why? I did it, not you" Ben told him.

"Doesn't matter, you're my novio, so it's all the same to him" Diego said.

"Novio?" Ben repeated, puzzled.

"Boyfriend" he said.

"Oh. I'm your boyfriend" he liked the sound of that. He knew they didn't have much time but he still went to the spot in the woods.

"I haven't had a bath in a few days" Diego warned him. Ben figured as cold as it had been he shouldn't be too bad. Ben stood beside the four-wheeler; Diego was turned toward him. Ben pulled Diego's jacket open and stuck his nose up close to the boy's pit.

"Stinky, no?" Diego asked.

"Smells like perfume to me" Ben said, "I love the way you smell" as he unbuttoned the boy's pants "and the way you taste."

Ben wasted no time giving Diego a top-notch blowjob and as soon as he was done Diego stood up and patted the seat for Ben to sit down and he returned the favor; what he lacked in skill, he made up for with enthusiasm. Time was not on their side, so they hopped back on and got to Ben's house.

"Diego wanted to ride with me" he told his mom. She nodded and started loading the boys' arms with more meat.

"These go to Carter and Katy. Your dad and Dixon are delivering the rest in the truck" she said.

Once again, they went out and loaded the racks and Ben stopped by the ATV shed to fill top his tank back off with fuel, then headed to Carter's. Carter came out and helped them but they still had to make a couple of trips. All of it went in the freezer except for one package that Katy opened and rolled in flour, salt and pepper and put into a deep cast iron skillet to brown. She looked over at the boys a minute while she was cooking.

"I'd have to agree with Sandra, you two do make a cute couple" she said. Ben turned red and didn't answer.

"Thank you, Katy" Diego said. We had to go, it got dark so early in the winter. By the time I take Diego home and get back to the house, it would probably be dark Ben thought. They made the long trek to the Rancho and Ben kissed Diego at the gate as usual, then high-tailed it back to the house. He was nearly home when several wild turkeys were crossing the road up ahead. He thought about taking a shot but he figured the .270 would destroy the bird. He made a mental note about where he saw them and went on home. He parked the ATV in the shed and walked toward the house when he was intercepted by his dad.

"Come sit with me a minute" Jake told him, getting in the truck. Ben went around and got into the passenger side.

"What's up dad?" he asked, "did I do something wrong?"

"Ben, are you having sex with Diego?" Jake asked him. Ben turned red for the second time today.

"I don't really want to talk about that with you, its personal" Ben said very quietly.

"His brother Luis says he's the kind of kid that sleeps with everybody" Jake said.

"Luis is an asshole" Ben said.

"Watch your mouth" Jake warned him.

"Dad, remember when Dix and me were fighting all the time? That's how Luis is, and he is a...a butthole" Ben said "you can ask Diego."

"I don't know..." dad told him.

"I do know" Ben said "he knows less about stuff than I do."

"Just be careful. Don't be embarrassed to talk to me. I love you, son" Jake told him. Ben was so thoroughly embarrassed he jumped out of the truck and ran into the house.

"Ben!" Sandy called out. He didn't want to talk to her either, she ran her mouth too much. He went upstairs to his room and slammed the door.

"What's wrong with you?" Dixon asked him.

"Everybody minding my business" Ben spat at him.

"Don't feel bad. I got trapped in the truck earlier with dad asking me all kinds of questions about me and Kenzie" Dixon said.

"Really?" Ben asked, kind of glad it wasn't just him.

"Yeah, really" Dix said. "I think they're worried about us all growing up too fast or something."

"Maybe so, but my problem has a name. It begins with `Lu' and ends with `is'. That asshole is running his mouth to dad shit-talking his own brother to try to get us broke up. He's really an asshole."

"I'll see what I can do to help you with that baby brother" Dixon said, knowing how Ben got rankled over that term of affection.

This time, all Ben said was "Thanks."
