This story is about sex between boys and is therefore a total fantasy. It was written by an adult for the entertainment of other adults. No children or animals were either involved or harmed in the writing of this story. Please leave now if you are not supposed to be here.

Writing the continuing saga of the Kids of Indian Spring has become a real community effort. My original intention was to conclude the Sandy Jacobs Story after Chapter 10. But my primary co-author and invaluable assistant, Pietar, convinced me that the many loose ends left open by the original author, Jonas Henley, needed to be resolved. As a result, he became the principal author of Chapters 11, 12, and 13. Thank you Pietar for your original ideas, brilliant writing and your continued dedication and commitment to this project. Now a third author, Nick, has volunteered to take on the role of crafting the future long-term direction of the story. You may recall that Nick was first involved in Chapter 12C. Please ensure you make Nick welcome by dropping him a line.

Boys on the 1996 Choosing List

Jagger Mackey – Jagger is from a traditional old Mackey family. He is a very polite kid with shaggy dark brown hair and brown eyes. He has not started puberty yet. He has been raised to think being in the Choosing is a big honor so he keeps a proud face up front but inside he is as scared as any other boy.

Travis Jacobs – A cousin of Sandy Jacobs who lives in Cool Spring. Travis is a good looking blonde with blue eyes and freckles. Has no hair down there. A lot of Indian Spring kids view him as a show off who wants to be the center of attention. Sandy believes he just tries too hard to fit in. Since he lives in Coolspring he is probably safe from being selected.

Adan Koch – A deep Mackey with dark hair and eyes. He is thin and wiry but also quite strong and has a small patch of dark pubes. He is very close to his 2 older brothers and does not associate with town kids very much. Adan was raised to have deep respect for the Choosing.

Stevie Jacobs – Younger brother of Sandy Jacobs, Stevie is a strawberry blonde with brown eyes and freckles. He is as hairless as the day he was born. He believes he is gay and has experimented quite a bit with sex (except for anal). At one point Stevie thought he wanted to be a bottom but has changed his mind as he wants to be able to select his partners. An outgoing kid among his friends but he withdraws around strangers due to fear of being teased about his sexuality. He has a lot of protection and does not believe he will be bottomed.

Trevor Havers - Trevor has dark hair, dark eyes and a button nose. He has a great smile and boys who have seen him at the swimming hole say he has a perfect ass. His body is still smooth and his sex experience limited. He lives on the edge of deep Mackey lands but most of his friends live in town. He is a member of the Famous Five and did not fulfill his obligation to Tolley so he is starting the Choosing with a checkmark.

Carl Mackey – Carl has short brown hair and brown eyes. He is always well tanned since he spends all his free time fishing at the spring. He is regarded as one of the best fishermen around.

Henry Mackey – Henry is a real good-looking boy with blond hair and blue eyes. His body is slim and hairless. Henry is well liked by all even though he is rather shy and is known to get upset easily and cry. Surprisingly however the other boys still accepted him and just said he's sensitive. Henry lives close to the park and visits the swimming hole. Lately he has found himself becoming interested in Carl Mackey. Not in a romantic way, but he liked Carl's body. He admired it while swimming but he'd like to do more than just look at it. Henry is afraid of being bottomed.

Larry Mackey – Larry is a deep Mackey with buzz cut brown hair and blue eyes. He is a bit on the thin side with a hairless body. He is known as a fighter.

The story continues

Sandy knelt at Ethan's side and with a confused look on his face he said softly, "I thought you guys were best friends."

"We are," said Ethan. "I wanna do it with somebody I like my first time in public. That's why I picked Stevie."

Sandy looked at the boy strangely. "First time in public?" Did that mean? But he knew now was not the time to ask. Stevie and Ethan were true buddies and he trusted this kid. He also suspected Stevie might well be thrilled at the prospect of being fucked by the Tucker boy.

"Okay then, get your pants off and grease up your dick," replied Sandy as he leaned over his little brother's back and told him, "You're gonna get fucked, Stevie."

"I heard," the 12-year-old replied. "It's okay. I owe Ethan anyway."

Sandy didn't waste any time. He added some Vaseline to Stevie's hole then handed the jar to Ethan.

Getting over his surprise at what was happening, Sandy remembered he was the MC. He addressed the audience and announced, "The votes are being counted right now and we appreciate your patience. While we're all waiting to see who the new Community Bottoms will be, we have a little entertainment for you. 11-year-old Ethan Tucker is going to fuck my kid-brother and thus proving there will be no special deals made for my immediate family. We are all Mackey here and we share. So let's give them both a hand." The crowd applauded loudly.

"Go ahead Ethan. He's all yours," said Sandy as he gestured with his hand, palm up, toward Stevie's butt.

As Ethan stepped forward and spread the waiting cheeks to see his target better, Stevie yelled out in a panic, "WAIT," and started to rise from the rail.

Sandy quickly stepped forward and pressed a hand down on his brothers back. "Sorry Stevie," he said firmly. "You can't stop this now. It's gonna happen."

"I don't want to stop it. I want to change it. Ethan, can we do it with me laying on my back? Then we can see each other."

"Sure," replied Ethan. "That would be cool."

Sandy looked at the crowded rail and said, "There's not really a lot of room here."

"Could we do it up there?" asked Stevie pointing to the center stage raised platform.

By this time the crowd had gotten quiet and Jason looked up from the scoring table to see what the delay was. Sandy didn't want to appear to be holding up the show so he agreed. He removed his hand from Stevie's back and said, "If that's what Ethan wants, let's go."

"We want to give you all a better view so we are moving up front," Sandy told the crowd.

Stevie lay down on the padded platform and pulled his knees up to expose his puckered opening for his friend. He was used to this position as he often assumed it to play with his hole. Besides his fingers he had used a sharpie, a toothbrush and even a candle once to explore the sensations.

Ethan was hard and ready as he climbed on top of Stevie and found just the right spot to line up with his target. He slowly lowered himself down and wiggled a bit till Stevie told him he was in position. "Just push now," Stevie instructed.

The 11-year-old pushed, and with Stevie's cooperation popped the head in within seconds. He gasped, then giggled as Ethan pressed further. They both knew they would be fucking eventually but neither expected it to be center stage at the Choosing. Amazingly, both of them were able to tune out the crowd and focus on each other and the task at hand. Stevie was trying his best to relax and accept the hard boyhood pressing into his butt. His best friend's dick sure felt bigger as it entered his rear then when he had sucked on it all those times.

Ethan was pushing inward and watching his buddy's face at the same time. His eyes were wide open but he seemed to be looking up at the sky. He didn't seem to be in pain so Ethan continued to press in until he was tight up against the willing butt. Then he wiggled his hips a bit which drew a gasp from Stevie and seemed to bring him back to earth. As the boys stared at one another, the 11-year-old started sliding his dick in and out of the tight hole. The motion just came naturally. As he picked up speed, he accidentally pulled out of the warm and wonderful ass, but in this position he found that, with a firm push, he slid right back in. This did draw a loud grunt from his friend.

"You okay?" asked Ethan with concern, although not slowing his humping motion one bit.

"Yeah. It just hurts a little when you push it all the way in fast."

"You mean like this?" asked Ethan as he pulled out again and drove it back in hard.

"Ahhhh! Yes, like that," said Stevie unable to stop a laugh. "You'll get yours one day."

Ethan laughed also. He loved the feeling of being in control but the rising pressure in his groin was taking over. He was thrusting now with a purpose. He wanted to cum.

Stevie also felt his lust rising. His penis was fully erect and throbbing from his friends probing. Ethan kept bumping a spot inside that was making him buck his hips and driving him toward his climax. He didn't care about the stretched feeling or the occasional pinch he felt. He wanted to cum.

Ethan wasn't pounding Stevie's ass but he did have a quick and steady rhythm going. The 12-year-old let go of his legs and put his arms out by his sides, palms pressed down against the stage to steady himself as Ethan continued the fucking. The boy's eyes met and they exchanged a knowing look. They were both almost there. The boys in the audience knew it too and started to clap in time to Ethan's hip thrusts. Finally, he plunged deep into Stevie's rectum and threw his head back. The crowd burst into loud applause as he shot a small amount of clear cum into his friend.

As soon as he finished shooting, he reached down and grabbed Stevie's erection and pumped it rapidly. His friend was already so close that he reached his orgasm in less than 30 seconds and shot several spurts of milky cum into the air and onto his belly. This brought additional wild applause from the watching crowd.

As Jason strolled over to Sandy's side, he held up a paper for the fourteen-year-old to see. It was the list of new bottoms for 1996. Jason looked over the cheering crowd and smiled. The day had gone well. And he had to admit that allowing Ethan Tucker to fuck his kid-brother had been a masterstroke on Sandy's part. The two boys did put on an impressive display as a prelude to the main part of the show which would begin shortly. He didn't know the younger boys well, but he'd heard the rumors about them being gay. Well, it seemed that question had been publicly decided, but their fast-paced erotic fucking show had certainly put the audience in the right mood.

"Do you want to make the announcement or should I?" Jason asked.

"Let me do it," Sandy requested. "They're gonna be my guys."

"You got it. Let's get these two out of the way and I want to release Kevin and Tanner from service, then you can take over."

Sandy leaned over to the recovering boys on the platform and said, "Ethan, go get dressed. You did great. Stevie you need to get back to your spot."

As the boys rose and started to head off, Jason put his hands on Stevie's shoulders and stopped him. "Hold on there a minute buddy," he said. He turned the boy so he was facing the audience and addressed the crowd. "How many of you think this boy put on a good show up here?" he yelled. His question was met with loud applause. "I thought so too. He not only accepted his first fuck, but he agreed to move center stage so you all could get a better view. I think that shows real Mackey spirit so I'm going to reward him for that. As President of the Junior Council I not only give checkmarks, I can also take them away and that's what I'm going to do for this young man. He has 1 checkmark and I'm going to forgive it." With those words, Jason took out a green sharpie and put an X through the checkmark on Stevie's back. Most of the crowd applauded but there were some who regretted losing the chance at a blowjob. Stevie returned to his spot on the rail and bent over. He was happy.

"For the next order of business, could I have Kevin and Tanner Mackey up here please," Jason announced.

The two 14-year-olds made their way through the crowd and mounted the stage. Jason looked over at them. He had never been comfortable with the fact that his kid-brother had been made a Mackey community bottom in the 1994 Choosing. He blamed himself for not seeing the double-dealing certain members of the Junior Council involved themselves in back then. People like Daryl and Hiram Mackey would say one thing to your face and then do the opposite behind your back. Fortunately, those two, and others like them, were no longer on the Council. It was the main reason Jason was so heavily involved in family politics and president today. He needed to ensure those sorts of under-handed tactics were never repeated. But at last, his two-year public shame of everyone knowing he was an ineffectual older brother not capable of protecting a sibling would cease.

Jason smiled and looked meaningfully at the audience.

"I am pleased to report that, as of today, Kevin and Tanner Mackey have completed their 2-year terms of service as Community Bottoms. My guess is that there are very few of you present that don't know these two. Some of you know them more intimately than others perhaps, but we all know their reputations. What we asked of them two years ago was no simple matter. However, I have had regular reports that they went above and beyond the call of duty. Prior to this year, two-year bottoms may have had a third 12 months period added to their term at the discretion of the Council. But that will not be happening today."

He turned to face the two boys. "I release you both from any further service and want to pass on the everlasting gratitude of the entire Mackey clan. If you need a favor from the Council in the future, don't hesitate to ask. You deserve every reward we could give. Let's hear it for Kevin and Tanner," encouraged Jason.

Both 14-year-olds had been extremely popular over their two years of service and the crowd recognized that. Loud handclapping and stamping feet started from the back of the bleachers and spread forward quickly. Jason and Sandy joined in and the applause grew even louder as seconds ticked away. Then a group of boys in the left-side grand-stand started to chant, "Kevin, Kevin, Kevin." A few seconds later a similar chant came from the right. "Tanner, Tanner, Tanner." The chorus continue for several minutes as more boys took up the call. Tanner just smiled and looked embarrassed. Kevin grinned broadly and made several rude hand gestures to members of the audience with whom he had a particular connection. Jason looked towards Sandy for an explanation. Such a display had never happened before. Usually former bottoms were given a few words of praise and then forgotten. But that would change if Sandy Jacobs got his way. This outward sign of appreciation hadn't been difficult to organize. A word to Toby Sanders, and Cameron and Wally Mackey and all Sandy's 14-year-old friends from school sat in the left side of the bleachers. Brad Jacobs and his friends Sean Mackey and Jeff Garvin didn't need any arm twisting either. All their friends sat on the right-hand side.

Jason continued to direct a stare at Sandy who just shrugged as the chanting continued. He avoided the gaze and looked over at the now former bottoms. Sandy was pleased that his apparent little impromptu show of appreciation was working. Both boys appeared overwhelmed. In truth, the gratitude from the crowd was genuine. It just needed someone to take on the role of creating a new tradition.

Kevin was making a "fucking" gesture towards 15-year-old Lance Davies in the third row with his right index finger entering the wrapped fist on his left hand. Sandy had never really quizzed his friend for intimate details about his bottom duties. But he strongly suspected that even with all his official obligations over, his best friend would continue to enjoy a very active sex life with boys from Indian Spring.

Eventually, Jason held up his arm for quiet. He shook hands with Kevin and Tanner.

"The Council thanks you for your service. You both did a fantastic job for the Mackey boy community." The two now ex-bottoms left the stage and worked their way through the crowd as boys patted and slapped them on the back along the way.

"Next," said Jason after allowing some time for the two boys to return to their seats, "I want us all to recognize the ongoing service of Cal Brewer, and Judge and Bert Mackey. These three still have one year remaining to serve as bottoms and will be shortly joined by the 5 selected today. That should help spread the load, or is it loads?"

Much of the audience burst into laughter at Jason's joke. A group of the 11-year-olds sitting in the front row of the bleachers join them a minute later when an older brother explained.

"Can I ask Sandy Jacobs to give us a few words? After all, he is the Special Rep on the Council in charge of these matters."

"Thank you Jason," said Sandy and he turned towards the crowd and spoke, "Might I ask a favor? I want you all to stand now and publicly recognize the often-thankless task Cal Brewer, and Judge and Bert Mackey perform on our behalf. It is through the dedication and hard work of boys like these that the Mackey remain a unique and close-knit community in these changing times."

Spontaneous loud cheering and more determined foot stamping broke out from every quarter of the field at Old Knot. Each boy present recognized the importance of the bottoms to the teen and preteen Mackey boy community, although almost all were equally relieved that unenviable burden hadn't been placed on their shoulders.

After several minutes, Sandy raised his hand for silence once more. "One final thing I need to note publicly. Cal Brewer has also completed all obligations in relation to the Magic Number penalty he received at last year's Choosing. I'm know you brought more than smiles to the faces of many boys over the past year. Thank you Cal."

Again, there was laughter and even louder cheering. Cal Brewer now had a firm and dedicated cheer squad of his own including Brad Jacobs and Sean Mackey.

"All kidding aside," Sandy continued when the good-natured ribbing and cheers died down. "I've heard from Jason that many people had strong doubts about Cal when he first approached the Junior Council over a year ago now. And although I don't have the benefit of speaking from first-hand experience, all the reports I've had, praise Cal's actions since the 1995 Choosing. He has managed to convince even his strongest critics that he is an essential part and a huge asset to the Mackey community."

There was more cheering and loud clapping. Cal Brewer had proved himself a popular bottom and efficient cock sucker over the past year. There were many who felt indebted to the kid.

"In July last year I had a meeting with the then newly selected bottoms. I gave them some advice given to me by my old great granddad Sam Jacobs before he died. He was a wise old bird and he taught me a lot. One day he explained, `When life hands you a lemon (and it will before long, life always does) there are only three choices. Give in, give up, or give it your best.' I'm very proud to report that as far as I'm concerned Cal, Judge, and Bert have always given it their best. I thank them for their service."

At this, the loud cheering started again. A minute later Brad, Sean and their friends started to chant "Cal, Cal, Cal." Another group took up for Judge, and then a third group started yelling for Bert. Sandy was pleased. He hadn't organized this second lot of chanting. It was completely spontaneous and provided some public recognition for all the dedication to duty demonstrated by these three remaining bottoms from the 1995 Choosing.

After another minute Jason stepped forward and purposely looked at his watch. "Fine words Sandy and I'm pleased to see the community demonstrate its support for our bottoms. However, we need to move on. There is a very large group of 12-year-olds behind me here anxious to learn which of them will be selected to join those honored ranks."

Jason allowed a minute of cheering and foot stamping at this news before continuing.

"I'm going to turn this over to Sandy Jacobs who will tell us what everyone's been waiting for, the results of the 1996 Choosing." The audience in the bleachers grew silent.

"After you finish, bring the new bottoms backstage and we'll get them ready for the next step," Jason whispered. Then he headed over to the scoring area to huddle with the Council members and start making up the lists of boys who would have the honor of doing the public fucking.

"I won't keep you waiting while I make a long speech," Sandy began. "There's been enough of that already. The Mackey Brotherhood gathered here today, just as they have for over 160 years, to select Community Bottoms. The following five boys have been chosen. For a two-year term with 19 votes we have Henry Finney."

The boys in the audience applauded, stamped their feet and chanted Finney, Finney. At his spot on the rail Finney kept his head down and wondered how this could have happened. He felt abandoned by his friends and very alone.

Sandy continued. "Next we have Gordon Mackey with 17 votes. Gordon will also serve a two-year term." The same scene was repeated in the bleachers with chants of Gordon, Gordon. Gordon was in a state of panic and he was angry. He was angry at Tanner Mackey for the 10 votes he placed on his back, he was angry with Finney, who he blamed for getting him into this position and he was angry with every kid that voted for him.

Sandy held up his hands for quiet. "The next 3 boys will serve 18-month terms. First, we have Carter Mackey with 16 votes." As the applause erupted, Carter was worrying about his standing in the community. He was one of the cool kids. He was a leader and a trendsetter. How could he be a leader when he's a bottom?

As the applause died Sandy moved on. "Next we have Trevor Havers with 12 votes." Again, applause broke out and Sandy noted a group of deep Mackeys were actually jumping up and down and giving high-fives to one another. Sandy knew they played a big part in getting Trevor bottomed.

As the celebration quieted Sandy announced the final name. "Last, but not least we have Henry Mackey. Let's give Henry a hand." Henry heard the announcement but showed no emotion. It was as if he was frozen. He just wanted to be home on his porch watching kids come and go from the park. He didn't think he could deal with this, but his brain was unable to tell him what else to do.

When the bleachers settled down Sandy made his final announcement. "We are going to take about a 15-minute break now and when we return we'll begin the public fucking. Besides the new bottoms that we already mentioned, there is one boy here who earned himself 6 checkmarks today so he will be joining our bottoms in the fucking. I think most of you know I'm talking about Tripp Headley."

"Way to go Tripp," someone in the stands yelled. Tripp just moaned as he thought about what was coming.

"Thank you all for participating. We'll be back in 15 minutes. The full results have been posted on the bulletin-board." said Sandy.

He then turned and addressed the boys on the line. "Okay guys, I need the 5 new bottoms and Tripp to come with me backstage," he said pointing to the staircase at the rear corner. "The rest of you can take a 10-minute break. Get up and stretch, take a walk if you want but be back here on time. We can still give out checkmarks you know."

Sandy waited at the top of the stairs and herded his new bottoms down to the back area. "Down the steps and take a seat boys," he informed them as they passed. Just as Sandy prepared to descend the steps Hank Mackey stopped him and whispered something as he showed him a piece of paper. "Damn," he said with a chuckle. "It just isn't that boy's day. Come on down Hank and you can get what you need."

The new bottoms were all sitting in a line of chairs against the railing. Sandy stood in front of them and looked over his new group. Trevor Havers and Carter Mackey were the only two who made eye contact with him. The other four stared at the floor. "Tripp, Hank needs you over there for a minute," he said as he gestured to the steps. "You're not a bottom so what I'm going to be talking about first isn't important to you." Tripp got up and walked solemnly over to Hank who spun the boy around and started to copy the names off his back onto a small pad.

Sandy then addressed the 5 naked and forlorn looking boys in front of him. "If any of you don't know me, I'm Sandy Jacobs. I'm the Special Representative on the Junior Council and I'm in charge of the bottoms. I'm sure none of you are excited about it at this moment, but you are all now Mackey Community Bottoms. No one can change that so you need to get ready to accept your new role and I'll be here to help you do that. You are very important to the community and I think you will be surprised how much respect and appreciation you'll receive. You saw a sign of that when we had Kevin and Tanner Mackey up on the stage before. You may have also noted the applause when I spoke about Cal Brewer, and Judge and Bert Mackey. Applause for them, not for me. Being a Mackey bottom is not something I would ever wish on anyone. If you don't know, I'm a limited one myself and I have some idea what you are going through. More of that another time. But you have been voted on and selected by your peers and nothing will change that now. So my advice is don't give in, don't give-up, but give it your best."

Sandy looked around at the faces of the boys before continuing. At least he had their attention.

"Your parents will be notified and we will have a meeting later in the week to prepare you for your new duties." As he spoke he noticed Gordon and Finney were now looking at him. Henry Mackey, however, continued to stare at the floor. "The next part of the Choosing will be the hardest for you. You are all going to be fucked. You will each be fucked 4 times, except for Tripp. You have 6 fucks today because of the checkmarks. Sorry buddy, but those are the rules." All the boys knew this was coming but they still looked shocked. "Trust me guys, you will survive this. You all saw Jagger, Cole and Stevie get fucked and they are okay. You can do it too. I'll make sure you're lubed up extra good beforehand and the guys fucking you will be close to your age or younger. No older guys are going to tear you up. I will be honest and tell you it's gonna hurt some. It won't be terrible, but it will hurt. To help get through this you need to relax. When they start to push in you need to push back like you're taking a crap. It will make it easier. Anybody have any questions?" The group was silent. They were all staring at Sandy except Henry who never looked up.

"If there are no questions you can all stretch a bit, but stay close by. I'm going to get the lists of the boys who will be fucking you. Tripp, I need to see you for a minute," he said motioning for the boy to follow him up the stairs. Once they were up on stage Sandy turned to Tripp and asked," Do you know why Hank needed to copy the names off your back?"

"Yeah, he told me I hit the Magic Number."

"Do you know what that means?"

"Yeah. It means I gotta give all the assholes who signed my back 6 blow jobs over the next year."

Sandy was stunned by the response. "Tripp I'll tell you right now you better lose that attitude. I could add another checkmark for that. You're already going to be fucked 6 times. Do you want to make it 7?"

"No," replied Tripp as he hung his head.

"Then you better drop the smart mouth right now. You might think we've been tough on you but believe me it can get a lot worse. Besides, you brought this on yourself by sneaking in here. Do you understand what I'm telling you?"

After a short silence Tripp answered, "Yes sir."

"Okay then. I was just being nice and wanted to be sure you understood what it meant before I announced that you hit the magic number. For the rest of the Choosing you better use your brain before you open that mouth or you will be sorry. Got it?"

"Yeah, or yes sir."

"Go back and wait with the others while I take care of a few things," Sandy ordered. He found this kid to be really irritating.

As Tripp rejoined the group backstage, they were moving around some but no one was talking. Finally Finney turned to Gordon and said, "This really sucks."

"It does, but there's nothing we can do about it," Gordon answered.

Trevor Havers was staring out into the woods behind the stage and Carter slowly paced back and forth. Everyone was wrapped up in their own thoughts and they hardly noticed when Henry Mackey rose from his chair and left.

Sandy entered the scoring area where his fellow Councilmen were gathered around the table looking at small pieces of paper which he knew were lists of the boys who would be fucking his new bottoms.

"You're counting Tilton Garvin as an 11-year-old?" questioned Hayden.

"He's 11," answered Jason with a smile.

"Yeah, but he's got the dick of a 13-year-old," said Hayden.

"I know," replied Jason. "I have him as the 5th fuck so Tripp will be opened up by then. Besides, I want to teach that boy a lesson. I think he'll remember getting fucked by Tilton."

Hayden just shook his head. "It's your call," he muttered.

"Oh, Sandy. Glad you're here. I want to put Tripp Headley on the front stage for his fucks. We'll start with him and then move to the bottoms. Do you want to look over the lists?" Jason asked.

Sandy was glancing at the papers when Hank Mackey walked up followed by 11-year-old Oak. "We got a special request here Jason," Hank said pointing at the younger boy.

"What can I do for you my friend? I already have you as Henry Mackey's first fuck. You get to pop a cherry," said Jason.

"Uh, yeah, well that's kind of the problem. Could you put me on somebody else?" Oak asked hesitantly.

His request surprised Jason as the first fuck of a new bottom was a coveted position. Oak had helped Jason open the Choosing and played his role well with Finney, so Jason didn't want to refuse him without knowing the reason. "Why don't you want to be Henry's first?" he asked.

"Well, that boy is crying. There ain't nothing sexy about fucking a kid that's crying. It kind of feels mean," said Oak trying to choose his words carefully. He knew he was addressing the President of the Council and next year was his Choosing. He didn't want to make any enemies.

"He's crying!" repeated Jason in disbelief. This was a pretty unusual happening at a Choosing and Jason wasn't sure what to do. He decided to delegate.

"Jacobs. He's already a bottom so he's your problem. See what you can do, please." He said it like an order, but Sandy knew it was a request for help.

"Where's he at Oak?" Sandy asked.

"He's over there bent over in his spot," Oak answered pointing to the rail at the back of the stage.

"Sit tight and let me see what I can do," said Sandy as he headed off. Just as Oak had said, Henry was in his spot and bent over the rail. He was the only bent over boy on the stage as it was breaktime and all the others were stretching, standing or walking around. Sandy could see his body was shaking and he heard soft sobbing.

"Henry, what are you doing up here?" Sandy asked. "You're supposed to be down with the others."

"Seems the kids here think that all I'm good for is to be bent over this rail and fucked so I'm making it easy for them," the boy answered softly.

Realizing the depth of his new bottom's depression, Sandy went into his best protective big brother mode. He felt that Henry might be on the verge of snapping. "Henry, I don't believe that's true at all. As a matter of fact the boy we had chosen to be your first fuck doesn't want to do it because your so upset. He cares about you."

"Who is it?" Henry asked.

"Oak Mackey," answered Sandy.

"I know Oak," said the younger boy. "He's nice. Tell him I said it's okay. I won't be mad at him."

"I'll do that," said Sandy. "Look, I know your brothers are here. Would it help if I found one of them for you to talk to?"

"Don't bother. They'll just tell me to be a man and deal with it."

Sandy noted that Henry stopped crying as they were talking so he continued the conversation. "I know your close with your dad. Did he talk about what might happen here and how to deal with it?"

"Yes. He said my friends would still be my friend's tomorrow. It won't change things."

"He's right. You might actually make some new friends because you will get to meet some kids you didn't know very well before." As Sandy was talking he became aware of Carl Mackey standing very close to him.

"Do you need something Carl?" Sandy asked a bit annoyed that the kid was listening to his conversation.

"No, No, I just wanted to see if Henry was okay. He's my friend."

When he heard Carl's voice, Henry lifted his head up for the first time since they started talking. "I'm all right Carl. Just a little upset I guess," Henry said.

Sandy thought this might be a good time to exit and let the twelve-year-old friends talk. "Carl, will you stay with Henry till we start up again? He's gonna have a tough time the next hour and he could use your support."

"Sure thing," said Carl.

"Henry are you feeling okay now?" Sandy asked.

"Yes, thanks for coming over. I guess I'm ready to be a man and deal with it," the boy said with a weak smile.

As Sandy left Henry was getting up from the rail and sitting next to Carl. Maybe it would be okay he thought.

On his way back to the work area Sandy ran into Oak. He was able to convince him to be Henry's first fuck by pointing out that the boy was no longer crying and was sitting and talking with Carl. He did ask Oak to be extra nice and told him to think about how he'd feel if he was bottomed.

Sandy filled Jason in on the situation and told him he thought Henry would be okay. He looked over the boy's list and suggested a few changes. Jason agreed as he trusted Sandy's judgment. The new list read;

Oak Mackey

Vince Mackey

Koby Mackey

Brad Jacobs

Sandy then took Tripp Headley's list and looked it over. Tripp would be the first to be fucked and Sandy did not request any changes. He knew Jason had selected these boys for a reason. Tripp's list had;

Ben Brewer

Sammy Mackey

Cam Mackey

Jared Tilton

Tilton Garvin

Joey Mackey

As Sandy scanned the names he knew Tripp was going to have a very sore ass by the end of this day. Looking over the others, he saw that Chase was going to be Gordon Mackey's first. He made a mental note that he needed to speak with his youngest brother about the rumor he had been promising his friends he could get them a fuck. If that rumor got back to the Council, his brother was in trouble. Also having Chase as Gordon's first created another potential problem. But he didn't have time to deal with either of those things just now. It was obviously Chase's lucky day.

Jason assured him that all the kids on the lists had been told who they were fucking and they were waiting nearby. It was time to resume the activities.

Sandy moved to center stage and called loudly, "All 12-year-olds you have 2 minutes to get back up here and in your positions. This is the 2-minute warning." Then he went to the head of the stairs and called the new bottoms up. "Let's go guys. It's time." Six somber looking boys climbed the steps knowing what was awaiting. Sandy intercepted Tripp as he came up and led him up front. "We're going to start with you," he informed the usually cocky boy. Tripp just nodded. He stared up at the sky and wondered how, or rather who, got him into this mess. He was resigned now to what was about to happen, but he understood that revenge was a dish best served cold. He would track down the person who wrote that note, if it was the last thing he'd do.

Within a minute all the boys were back in their spots on the rail and the crowd was silent. They were ready so Sandy began. "As you all should know any boy who gets 5 checkmarks or more gets fucked whether he is chosen or not. That's why Mr. Headley is up here. He has 6 checkmarks so he will be getting fucked 6 times." This brought a wild cheer from the bleachers. "Not only that, but the magic number is 6 this year so Tripp wins that honor also." Again the crowd applauded and yelled out. "All nine of you who voted for Tripp have 6 blow jobs coming to you over the next year. I'm sure you'll enjoy them."

In the audience Kelly and Malcolm looked at one another with surprise. "I didn't expect that," said Kelly.

"Me neither," replied Malcolm, "but I'm gonna enjoy 'em."

"Yeah, I guess I will too," said Kelly with a smile.

On stage Sandy continued, "Let's have Ben Brewer on stage to start things off," he called. Ben was waiting by the stairs and bounced up them ready to go. He was going to get to fuck Tripp.

"Why don't you get down on your knees and elbows," Sandy said to the 12-year-old as he pointed to the raised platform. "Ben is not that tall and I think that will be the best for him." The younger boy was already unsnapping his pants as he approached. Sandy handed him the Vaseline and told him to grease up. When he was ready Sandy stepped aside and said, "He's all yours. Have fun."

It took Ben only a few seconds to get into position and penetrate Tripp's anus. Though he wasn't that big, his entry caused Tripp to grunt and tense his entire body for a moment. As Ben began fucking away, the audience urged him on. Shouts of "That a boy Ben," and "Give it to him good," filled the air. Tripp stared at his hands as the younger boy pounded away at his rear and made his whole body rock back and forth. Ben reached his climax in just a few minutes and announced it to the crowd with a loud, "Oh yeah. This is great."

The next 3 boys gave a similar performance. They had no intention of making it last, they just wanted to cum. Sammy and Cam Mackey mounted Tripp's ass and fucked away until they reached orgasm. Jared Tilton was a bit slower but not much. He liked taking long strokes. After pushing all the way in, he pulled back till he was almost out and then slammed inward again. Not that his cock was very long, but after Jared's fucking Tripp's ass was burning. However, he told himself he was over halfway and he could do it.

It was doubtful whether many of these 11-year-olds could actually produce any spunk, but that hardly mattered to the audience. They were enjoying the show and the enthusiastic activity of the younger boys.

Next came Tilton Garvin. Tripp didn't know Tilton's "big dick" reputation and he was not looking at any of the boys who were fucking him. He was surprised when, unlike the others, this penis did not pop right in. Instead he felt increasing pressure until finally the tight ring stretched enough to allow the head to slide through. Tripp let out a gasp and begged, "Ahh, wait! Wait for a second, please."

"Okay," Tilton replied enjoying the feeling of power. He waited about 10 seconds and then pushed again. As Tripp moaned softly the younger boy buried his dick as deep as it would go. He waited for a moment and then started a steady in and out rhythm which made Tripp gasp with each thrust. The increased girth of Tilton's tool was downright painful and the burning sensation increased. Tripp was starting to wonder if he could hold back his tears. Just when he thought he could take no more he heard Tilton mutter, "Here it comes. I'm gonna shoot." The 11-year-old emptied the biggest load yet into Tripp's ass and then slowly withdrew. His penis had fecal matter on it so Sandy grabbed a nearby container of baby wipes that were kept on hand for just such occasions and handed one to Tilton.

"This boy didn't plan on being here today, so he didn't get cleaned out this morning," said Sandy apologetically.

"I don't care," replied Tilton. "That was great. Thanks Tripp."

Tripp was to tired and sore to respond. He got up off his elbows to take the pressure off his arms and shoulders. His butthole ached. He saw his next and last boy dropping his pants behind him. It was Oak's first cousin, 13-year-old Joey.

"Hey Sandy, I want to do him standing up. Is that okay?"

"Sure. Whatever you want," Sandy answered. "Stand up Tripp, this man wants to try a different position."

Tripp slowly got to his feet. It felt good to stand for a moment. Then Joey directed him to bend over and put his hands just below his kneecaps.

"That looks good," said Joey as he sized up the boy he was about to fuck. He stepped forward and spread Tripp's butt cheeks apart to see his target. "He looks a little red back here," said Joey with a laugh. The crowd laughed along with him. "Here it comes boy," he teased as he pressed into the waiting hole. After 5 fucks the entry was pretty easy but it still made Tripp gasp loudly. Joey was well into puberty and his cock was quite developed. As he picked up a steady pace the 12-year-old was grunting along with him.

"Uhh, Uhh, Uhh Uhh," Tripp squealed. He no longer cared if he sounded funny or if the crowd was laughing and imitating his noises. He just wanted it to be over. Unfortunately for the suffering boy, Joey continued for over 5 minutes until he finally shot jet after jet of sperm deep into Tripp's bowels. He didn't pull his dick out right away either. He stayed deep inside the bent over boy giving short little thrusts and telling the audience what a great fuck this was. Finally, he withdrew. He thanked Tripp and told him he had a great ass. Tripp slowly straightened up but didn't respond.

Sandy stepped up on the platform with the well fucked boy and asked the crowd to give Tripp a hand. As they applauded, Sandy leaned over and told the 12-year-old he could return to his spot. He walked gingerly back to his position and hung over the rail. He hurt and he didn't want to look at anyone.

"Next we have our 2-year bottoms. Let's hear it for Henry Finney and Gordon Mackey." The applause and foot stomping was thunderous. The crowd wanted to see these 2 boys fucked. "Come on up here guys," he called to the boys who were moving very slowly to the front. When they reached the front Sandy told them to step up on the platform. Looking out over the cheering crowd both boys felt humiliated. Finney looked mad while Gordon was ashamed. Both were blushing deeply. Then Sandy made things worse by ordering them to turn around. "Let your Mackey brothers seeing those winning rear ends." When the boys turned the cheering got louder until Sandy raised his hands for quiet.

"They tell me you two are a team and you do everything together. Is that true?" Sandy asked the very nervous duo.

After a moment Finney responded," I guess so." Gordon nodded but remained silent.

"Good," said Sandy. "We didn't want to break up a team so we decided you should be fucked together."

This brought laughter from the bleachers. "Let's have you both down on your hands and knees for the first one. Gordon you face that way and Finney the other way." Sandy positioned them so the audience got a good side view. "Now, I need Ethan Tucker and Chase Jacobs up here."

The 11-year-olds scrambled up on stage, took the Vaseline Sandy handed them and quickly greased up their rigid cocks. Then they moved behind the assigned boys. Ethan was rubbing his palms together in anticipation of his second fuck of the day. He was very pleased with whatever gods were looking down on him and determining his fate. The truth was that the Tuckers were still very popular with many Mackey and after his earlier performance with Stevie Jacobs, the Council members knew Ethan would provide a good show, but he wasn't overly endowed for his age.

Chase had his hands on Gordon's hips ready for action. Finally Sandy said, "Go ahead guys. Let's break these new bottoms in."

Ethan held his dick at the tight-puckered hole before he applied any real pressure. Then, without further warning, he suddenly penetrated the virgin ring and again felt the sensation of entering another boy. He loved it. Finney on the other hand was startled and let out a painful and embarrassed yelp. He couldn't help it. With Ethan's dick just inside his anus it felt like tiny electric shocks circling his hole. Just as he was going to beg the younger boy to pull it out, Ethan slid in the rest of the way and started to fuck.

Chase remembered the instructions he had received from his brother Brad. When his steady pressure forced Gordons anus to give, he didn't stop. He fully penetrated the boy in one thrust. The amazed and shocked look on Gordon's face made Sandy laugh. Sandy felt he should be annoyed at Chase right now but as he looked at his little brother's skinny butt pounding away at Gordon's behind, he had to smile. He sure is a horny little guy Sandy thought. Must be something in the genes.

Chase was lost in his pleasure as he vigorously fucked away. He held tightly onto Gordon's hips and made the new bottom rock back and forth with each thrust. His rapid pace brought him to a climax quickly and he went rigid for a moment and let the orgasm sensation wash over him. He wasn't able to produce spunk yet, but he was no stranger to an orgasm. He felt his dick throbbing away as if in a mind of its own. As Chase pulled out, he reached under and gave Gordon's semi-stiff cock a squeeze. "Guess you didn't mind that too much," he said. The 12-year-old hung his head in shame.

Ethan finished just a moment later with a loud "Ahhhhh! That was Great!" He got up and patted Finney's butt. "That was super. Thanks," he stated. The crowd applauded.

The two 11-year-old's pulled up their jeans and tucked things in. Chase turned to Sandy and said, "Thanks bro. That was amazing."

"Don't thank me, thank Jason. He put you on the list."

"I'll make sure I do that," Chase told him as he and Ethan left the stage.

Sandy wanted to keep it moving so he called for the next boys. "Next we have Ricky Mackey with Finney and Tom Mackey with Gordon. Come on up guys."

Instantly, two more 11-year-olds bounced up, greased up and got ready to fuck. Unlike some years in the past, the Junior Council had agreed to push the younger boys to the front of the cue of fuckers. There had been general agreement that would make the introduction into their new lives easier for the freshly minted Mackey bottoms.

Sandy gave the word and away they went. Ricky was a deep Mackey and he played a little rough. He hammered Finney's ass and made the boy grunt and moan. Tom Mackey, who was Carter's little brother, was a bit more gentle but he still made Gordon gasp and grit his teeth.

Sandy was observing his new bottoms and he noted that Finney still looked angry. He'd have to get him over that. Gordon seemed to be accepting his role but he was not happy. He knew these two might be a challenge.

Once again the younger boys finished quickly. Ricky celebrated by raising his arms over his head like Rocky and dancing around Gordon yelling," I done it. I fucked a boy."

Tom finished quietly but announced, "Look, I gave him a boner," as he pointed at Gordon's erection. "Guess I'm a pretty good fucker," he said proudly.

Sandy noted that Finney and Gordon exchanged glances between the action but never spoke. They looked a bit dazed.

Next 11-year-old Merrick Mackey fucked Finney while 13-year-old Sean Mackey had a turn with Gordon. Merrick was really horny. He had been dry humping the boys on the line and rubbing himself through his shorts for the past hour. He wasted no time dropping his pants and mounting the 12-year-old. He penetrated the slightly red anus and was pumping away in 10 seconds.

Sean on the other hand had been hoping for a shot at Gordon and he was planning on a long fuck session. He lubed himself up and knelt behind the waiting boy. Before he pressed in he leaned forward and said, "Just relax and I'll try and make you feel good too." Then he moved in closer and found his target. Sean had an average size penis for a 13-year-old but it was the biggest one to enter Gordon so far. The bottom boy arched his back and gasped as Sean's dick slid in. He tried to pull forward to avoid the invader but the older boy had him firmly by the hips. Having had a year's practice using Mackey Bottoms, Sean had learned a lot about mutual enjoyment. In no time, he had the new bottom moaning in pleasure and even whimpering a bit.

Finney, on the other hand, was being pounded by a hyper-active 11-year-old. Besides the sound of his body slamming into the new bottom's ass, Merrick accented each thrust with a gasp. "AH, AH, AH," he continued as he worked away. Finney endured this treatment and was confused when he looked at his best friend and saw him succumbing to waves of pleasure as his prostate was gently bumped again and again.

Merrick drove himself to an orgasm quickly and pulled out of Finney's ass. He stood back mesmerized watching Sean and Gordon as they swayed back and forth in unison. After several minutes the pair reached a mutual orgasm. Sean moaned out loud as he emptied his sperm into the 12-year-old. Gordon's ejaculation was visible to the audience and they loved it. Applause broke out as Gordon dropped down on his elbows breathing heavily. He was spent.

Sandy decided to get the 2 boys off their knees and put them back over the rail for their final fuck. They both looked tired and he knew from personal experience that they had to be sore. He instructed them to stretch for a minute and then bend over the front rail for the grand finale. Their final fucks would be the 13-year-olds Kyle Hardin and Tolley who were anxiously waiting.

As Sandy applied a bit more Vaseline to the now much abused assholes of Henry and Gordon, his fellow Councilmen were moving boys away from the front rail to make room for the final public fucks of the day for the remaining three new Mackey bottoms. Trevor, Henry and Carter would be fucked simultaneously.

Kyle Hardin gave Finney his most vigorous fuck of the day. He stretched the new bottom's butt hole like never before. He drove deep and hard and he lasted for 5 full minutes. He let out a high pitched, "Wahoooo" when he shot spurt after spurt into Finney's ass. His performance and war cry brought the deep Mackeys to their feet cheering. They loved it.

Tolley had a much slower paced, but no less intense fuck with Gordon. His size pushed the boy up on his toes and made him groan with each push. When he finished, Gordon couldn't believe how much his butt burned. He was glad it was over because he couldn't take anymore.

When they returned to their spot on the rail they bent over and hung limply. Finney was wondering how he could deal with this new role. Gordon was sinking into depression.

At center stage Sandy continued the show. "We have 3 more new bottoms to be celebrated today. Carter Mackey, Trevor Havers and Henry Mackey. These boys will be serving an 18-month term. Bring `em on boys," Sandy said. Hank, Bert and Hayden led the boys to the spot they had cleared on the front rail and had them bend over. The boys all looked frightened. Sandy had asked Hayden to stay with Henry so he didn't have another panic attack and break down.

"Tim, Sammy and Oak Mackey come on over," Sandy called. The younger boys were excited to be getting to fuck someone so they wasted no time stripping and greasing up.

As Oak rubbed Vaseline on his boner he spoke quietly to Henry. "Are you ready for this?" he asked.

"I don't have a choice Oak," Henry replied.

"I didn't think of that. I'm gonna try `n give you a good fuck but I am new at this. Will you tell me if I'm doing it right?" asked Oak who was assuming that the 12-year-old knew more about fucking than him.

Henry found it strange that the boy who was going to fuck him was being nice and even asking advice. It made it hard to be mad when someone was being friendly. "I'll try," answered Henry unsure what else to say.

Hayden, seeing the boys talking stepped back. Sandy told the boys to go ahead whenever they were ready.

Trevor Havers gritted his teeth and sucked in air when Sammy Mackey entered him. Carter was a bit loud as he was penetrated by Tim and formed his mouth into an "O" emitting loud breaths. Henry stiffened up and grunted. As usual the 11-year-olds were vigorous, but ended quickly.

As soon as Sammy finished with Trevor, Sandy moved Matthew Mackey in to replace him. Trevor only had about 2 minutes between fucks. Tim finished with Carter and was replaced by Joey Mackey. When Oak finished with Henry he thanked him and told him it was great. Henry didn't know what to say so he remained silent. Then Vince Mackey moved in and started his 2nd fuck.

By the 3rd round of fucking the new bottoms were tired and sore. Sandy was keeping a close eye on Henry since the crying spell. He seemed to be holding it together. His third fuck was Koby Mackey who was a bubbly, kind of goofy but very friendly kid. He started off by stroking Henry's ass and thighs and telling him what a great body he had. The kid was so sincere that Henry had to accept it as a compliment. Koby's fondling made the bent over 12-year-old's penis respond and Henry was fully erect before the fucking even started. As Sandy observed this pair, he hadn't noticed Carter was on the verge of panic.

Thirteen-year-old Mitchel Mackey, who everybody called Mouse, was giving Carter a very physical fucking causing the boy to grunt out loud with each thrust. Mouse wasn't a mean kid; he was just driven by hormones at the moment and wasn't really thinking of the new bottoms feelings. He needed to fuck and cum. He hadn't jerked-off since waking up that morning and he'd been horny all day as he watched the Ceremony and all the bare asses on open display.

Carter endured the pounding, but couldn't believe this was happening to him. He was usually able to talk his way out of almost anything. When Finney and Gordon were getting fucked, he had actually considered making a run for it. But he knew it wouldn't do any good. He'd probably never make it off the stage. If he did make it home, his Daddy would just drag him back here and probably whip his ass on top of that. He couldn't escape this.

Making things worse was Mouse chattering away as he fucked. "You know Dean's next and he says he's gonna show you what getting fucked is all about and he's got a pretty big dick. You're lucky I'm loosening you up," Mouse rambled on.

Carter didn't feel lucky.

Kelly Tucker was fucking Trevor Havers. He had tried to decline the honor initially, but Jason pressed him hard. "It's important to participate in the tradition publicly and show your Mackey pride," he was told. So Kelly gave in and was now very close to cumming in Trevor's ass. The sight of the boy's smooth round cheeks had made it pretty easy for him to get over his initial reluctance and enjoy himself.

Trevor had remained silent through most of his fucks. A few grunts and groans that he couldn't hold in were the only sounds to escape his lips. He was angry, but he was holding it all inside. He hated the helpless feeling and the fact that so many boys said the Havers thought they were better than others. He never thought that. His final fuck was from the 13-year-old Louis Mackey. Louis was friendly with a lot of the deep boys and had been told that Trevor was an uppity kid and needed to be put in his place so that's how he started his fucking. Hard and fast. He was teaching the kid a lesson. The 12-year-old had to grit his teeth and was unable to stifle a few yelps and groans, but somehow he made it through. He couldn't believe how sore he felt so deep inside. He lay over the rail hurting, angry and silent.

Brad Jacobs, at his older brothers request, was Henry's final fuck. Sandy asked him to be a gentle as possible as the kid was really stressed out. Brad was naturally sympathetic and compassionate so he was a good pick. He also liked Henry and thought he had a hot little body. He entered easily but when he pushed in fully the boy moaned out loud. While the 12-year-old hole had already been stretched, the length of Brad's penis was probing new territory. Brad started slowly and only went in about halfway. As the sensations increased, however, the thrusts went deeper and deeper until Brad was driving all the way with each push. Henry hung onto the rail for dear life until the older boy finally finished. As Brad emptied his balls into the tight little ass he asked the boy if he was okay. "Henry managed to answer with a weak, "Yes." He really didn't want to talk. That had hurt.

At the same time, Carter was being fucked by Dean Mackey. This was a revenge fuck and Dean didn't try to hide it. Dean was almost 14 and his dick showed it. When he first penetrated Carter's already stretched anus the boy begged him to go slower. Dean paused, but just for a moment. Then he pressed inward until his pubes were touching Carter's ass. "AAAHHHH!" cried the bottom boy.

As Dean listened to Carter's distressed cry he thought about all the times the kid had called him a cocksucker in front of his friends, or how many times the younger boy made him lick the cum off his dick because he didn't get it all. He felt no sympathy for the kid who had made his life a living hell.

As soon as Dean felt Carter had enough time to adjust he started fucking in earnest. He pumped in and out. He went slowly at first but steadily increased both the speed and intensity. Carter's legs bent at the knee and he kicked like he was trying to swim away as Dean continued his assault for almost 5 minutes before he came. Carter hung limply over the rail and Dean was satisfied. The crowd cheered.

The public fucking was over and now only the blowjobs remained. Sandy directed all the boys back to their spots and addressed the crowd. "All our new Community Bottoms have been publicly fucked and we will bring them up at the end to welcome them, but first," here he paused to allow for the cheering that rose up from the bleachers. "Let me finish," he laughed. "First we have some naughty boys who had trouble behaving at their Choosing and they have some checkmarks to work off. I understand that many of you have graciously volunteered to help with that and we do appreciate it. So, if those of you who volunteered would line up by the stairs we will get the boys ready and finish up this event. I need Tripp Headley, Finney and Carter up front with me," he called to Hank and Bert who escorted the boys to center stage. He also requested that bottles of water be brought over. All 3 boys had very sore butts and moved slowly as Sandy directed them to their spots. "Tripp, you are up on the platform. Carter you take the right side and Finney your here next to me. Everybody down on your knees and remember the rules. Any spitting or coughing it out and you'll be doing it over. Everybody understand?" he asked. All 3 boys nodded. Behind him Ernie, Hank and Hayden were going over the same rules with the boys who only had 1 or 2 checkmarks. They would remain in place over the rail.

Up front 15-year-old Fairlane Mackey was the first in line for Carter. "I want you to take it out and get it hard like you always wanted my brother to do," ordered Fairlane. Carter did as he was told. It took less than a minute to get the older boy erect and then he put his lips around it. The 12-year-old wasn't very experienced at giving blow jobs, but he had been on the receiving end often, so he knew what to do. Knowing that he had to do this, he did his best to make it end quickly and Fairlane responded. In just over 4 minutes he shot multiple streams of cum into Carters mouth. Although he was startled by the orgasm and he didn't like the way the bigger boy gripped his head, he managed to swallow it all as required.

Finney was working on 15-year-old Shawn Hardin. Shawn was a little rough and almost gagged Finney several times. Paul Hardin, who was observing the events and laughing urged his cousin to go a little easier. The good part was Shawn's aggressiveness made him cum quickly. Finney took a drink and waited for the next boy.

Tripp, who had the most boys to service, started with 14-year-old Jason Mackey Jr. Tripp was no stranger to sucking dicks so he tried to do a good job to be done with it. Jason had no bones to pick with Tripp and just enjoyed his blow job. When he was done Domenic Mackey took his place. The 16-year-old not only stretched Tripp's mouth but he almost gagged him when he shot his load. Luckily, he was able to handle it.

On the rails behind them Cooper was explaining to Reeve how to give a blowjob.

"You want to put your penis in my mouth?" asked Reeve in amazement.

"I don't want to Reeve; we have to do it. You got a checkmark and if you get a checkmark you have to give a blowjob. You don't have a choice," Cooper explained.

"What does it taste like?" asked Reeve with concern.

"Here," said Cooper who was starting to get a little exasperated as he held out a finger. "Open your mouth."

Reeve did as he was told and Cooper pushed his finger into his friends' mouth. "Now suck on it."

Again Reeve followed instructions and sucked on the finger.

"There," said Cooper as he pulled his finger out of the boy's mouth. "That's what it's going to taste like."

"Okay," replied Reeve. "I think I can do it."

"Good," said Cooper as he unzipped his pants. "Let's get this over with." He pulled out his dick and moved closer to Reeve's mouth until the boy parted his lips and sucked it in. "Now just lick it some and suck on it," Cooper instructed.

Reeve did as he was told and Cooper had to admit it felt good. He kept his eyes on the younger boy and noted he was starting to look around at the crowd. As he did he lost his focus and Cooper felt teeth. It hurt. "Ow, careful Reeve," he exclaimed. Hayden heard his cry and came over.

"Everything all right here Cooper?" he asked.

"Yeah, we're good," Cooper answered. He saw Reeve's eyes were now darting around the crowd rapidly and the gnawing on his dick was getting worse. He didn't want Hayden to come back so he stifled his urge to call out, but he decided this had to end. "That's good Reeve. You can stop now and swallow. Come on, swallow it all." Cooper added to make it sound good. Then he pulled his now flaccid cock from the 12-year-olds mouth and examined it. He didn't see any blood but it was sore.

"You almost munched my dick off," Cooper whispered to his friend.

"Sorry," said Reeve sullenly.

"Don't worry about it. It's over," said Cooper.

"Can we go home now?" Reeve asked.

"Not quite, but real soon. You made it buddy," Cooper said happily.

Reeve just kept staring at the crowd.

Tolley stepped up to Trevor Havers and said, "I guess you knew it would be me."

"I expected it," answered Trevor.

"Look," said Tolley. "I ain't mad about last year anymore, but I just had a fuck a while ago. I washed it off real good but your gonna have to work some to get me to come again." He pulled his dick out of his shorts as he spoke and started to stroke it. "I didn't want you to think I was holding back on purpose or nothing."

"That's cool," said Trevor. "I'll do my best."

"Well he's ready for you," Tolley said as he moved his now rigid cock towards Trevor's face.

Trevor had never sucked anybody before, but he understood the concept and gave it his best shot. His efforts paid off and when it was done, he had successfully swallowed Tolley's load.

Henry Mackey was assigned to blow Malcolm McEwen. He didn't know Malcolm but he had heard he was mean so he prepared himself for the worst. Much to his surprise the guy was nice. He wasn't rough and he thanked Henry when it was over. When he left Henry breathed a sigh of relief. He almost choked on Malcolm's sperm and he didn't want to have to do it again.

Sam Mackey asked if he could give his blowjob to his brother Bert. He felt a need to pay him back for saving him. At first Hank said no, but Hayden interceded and said it would be okay. Sam gave Bert the best suck he could and made his brother moan with pleasure.

When all the blowjobs were given and everyone returned to their places on the rail Jason and Sandy took the stage together. They lined up the 5 new Community Bottoms and introduced them to the crowd.

"These 5 boys, Henry Finney, Gordon Mackey, Carter Mackey, Trevor Havers and Henry Mackey are the newest Mackey Community Bottoms. Please welcome them to the brotherhood," Sandy requested. The crowd exploded with cheers and wild applause.

"They are here to serve the Community," he continued. "Use them for their intended purpose, enjoy them and most of all respect them. They are doing a job no one really wants and if any of you think you can do better, come up here right now." Sandy paused a moment then continued," I didn't think I'd have any takers and I want you to remember that. If I here of any of you disrespecting these or any of our bottoms you will get a visit from me and you probably won't like it."

Jason then stepped up and took over. "I want everybody to know that I support Sandy and everything he just said. Now you all know these bottoms are entitled to a 5-day recovery period. Then they are available only to 12-year-olds or up to one year older. Let's welcome all the new members of the Brotherhood with a big hand now," he said, gesturing toward the boys still bent over.

As the audience applauded he announced, "The 1996 Choosing is now over. Thank you all for making the effort to be here today."

Ernie, Hayden and Bert walked the stage informing the boys they could get up and get dressed. Sandy encouraged them to shower first, but only about half of them listened. Cooper was chatting with Hayden about the choices and they both agreed that Finney was bottomed as payback for his bullying.

Sandy noted that Carl Mackey went over to Henry when he was done and wished him good luck. Sandy was worried about Henry breaking down earlier, but he seemed okay now. Not happy, but okay. As the 2 twelve-year-olds walked away down the path Carl put his arm over Henry's shoulder. As he watched them leave, Sandy marveled at the power of friendship. He turned to go back to work cleaning up, but Cooper stopped him.

"Sandy have you seen Reeve?" he asked.

"Not since 5 minutes ago. Maybe he started home without you," Sandy suggested.

"He doesn't usually like to walk alone but he ain't here," said Cooper looking around. "I'll see if I can catch him. Thanks Sandy."

Kevin, Brad, Sean and their younger charges were getting ready to depart. Everyone made it through and seemed no worse for wear. Tyler Hardin had come over and hugged Stevie and they planned on meeting at the park tomorrow. Luke Mackey, Mark and Daniel's brother, was coming home with the Jacobs boys to celebrate. With minus 2 votes and no checkmarks, he had done well. However, his mother was very religious and he'd heard the rumors that his father, Holden, had not fared well at the Ceremony in his day. They could never talk about the Choosing at home and he enjoyed the much more open and frank discussions that went on at the Jacobs' house.

Kevin was thinking about getting with Connor and having some fun. He was quite taken with the new kid in the neighborhood and today would be the perfect day. He wasn't a bottom any longer, but that didn't mean he would give up sex. It was in his blood now. And that Connor kid was certainly cute. As a member of the Junior Council, Sandy would be going to the post-Choosing celebration party after clean up and probably wouldn't be home till late evening. He'd have Connor all to himself with no distractions and no interference.

Trevor Havers walked home with his brother Bo. "Did you know some kids believe the Havers think they're better than others?" Trevor asked.

"I never heard such a thing," replied Bo. "Where did you hear that?"

"That's what all those deep boys were saying when they voted for me."

"We'll ask Daddy when we get home, but I think it's bullcrap," said Bo.

Once home Trevor did ask his dad about it and Sampson Havers was furious.

"I want both you boys to sit down here and listen good." he began. "We Havers don't think we're better than anybody. Some of those deep families think we're uppity cause we got more than them but the reason for that is we work harder than them. The Havers have always worked hard and done the best we could at whatever we do. They made you a bottom to try and make you feel ashamed and I don't want you to feel that way boy. I want you to be the best bottom you can be even though they did you dirty. You hold your head up and you smile. I'm gonna be proud of you and Bo will be proud of you."

"I'll try Daddy," said Trevor.

"You can do it son because you're a Havers." Then he hugged Trevor tightly.

Cooper had run almost all the way but he never caught up with Reeve. When he got to his house he knocked on the door. As soon as Mrs. Mackey opened it he asked, "Is Reeve here?"

"He just got home a couple minutes ago and he seems very upset Cooper."

"Can I talk to him?" Cooper asked rather surprised. He thought everything had gone okay.

"Let me ask him. I'll be right back,"

Reeve's mom returned after a few moments. "I'm sorry Cooper but he doesn't want to see anybody."

Cooper was shocked. "Even me?" he asked.

"I told him it was you and he said he didn't want to see anybody."

"Uh, okay. I'll come back later."

"Why don't you wait till tomorrow Cooper," Mrs. Mackey suggested.

"Okay, tomorrow then, thank you," replied Cooper. What the heck happened, he wondered as he headed home.

Finney and Gordon walked home together but they didn't really talk much. Both of them were thinking about how much their lives were going to change. While they didn't speak, they both took comfort in being together.

Carter went home with his brothers and cousin Michael. His older brother Eddie kept telling him he had warned him he was making enemies the way he treated Dean. His little brother Tom didn't help either when he asked what it felt like to get fucked. Michael kept out of it; he could tell Carter didn't want to talk right now.

As Kevin and the Jacobs clan arrived home, Stevie, Chase, Luke and Ethan headed to the kitchen. Cole wanted to see his brother, so he excused himself and headed up the street. Kevin volunteered to walk with him. As they neared the house, they saw Connor sitting on the front lawn. He had been waiting for them.

"How did it go?" he asked.

"I'm a Mackey now," said Cole proudly. Both Connor and Kevin smiled. "I gotta tell you something though and you gotta promise not to tell Mom." Cole's face took on a serious expression.

"I promise," said Connor, both concerned and curious.

"I got fucked," Cole said.

Connor was shocked and instantly dropped to his knees and put his hands on his little brother's shoulders. "Are you okay Cole?" he wanted to know.

"Yeah, I'm okay but my butt holes a little sore," he said with a giggle. "I'm going back to Stevie's. We're all invited for lunch. Are you coming Connor?"

"Yes, I'll be right there. Just give me a minute."

"I'll see you there," said Cole and he ran off.

Connor stared at Kevin a moment and then said, "What the Hell, Kevin. Where was all the protection you and Sandy said you could give him. Connor was angry and Kevin tried to calm him down.

"We did protect him from getting bottomed, but this was a game and Cole lost that one hand. There is no protection for that."

Connor looked Kevin in the eyes and said, "I thought you were a friend." Then he left and headed down the street after his little brother. Kevin felt like he'd been punched in the gut. He stared at Connor's back as he walked away. He hadn't expected a reaction like this. This was not how he wanted the day to end.

"Hold up Connor," he called to the older boy as he ran after him. When he was by his side, he grabbed his shoulder and said, "Stop! You're not being fair."

Kevin's grip on his shoulder pulled him to a stop, but he didn't respond. He glared at Kevin.

"Look, I know you're upset but don't freak out over this."

"Don't freak out!" said Connor. "My little brother just got fucked and you're telling me not to freak out."

"Connor, this is not the end of the world. Kids his age try fucking each other all the time. He got fucked by an 11-year-old, not by some older teen or an adult. He probably won't even feel it tomorrow. He probably would've tried it anyway sometime. Look," Kevin continued pointing at the group of younger boys laughing and rough housing on the Jacob's front lawn. "He's fine."

Connor was confused. He stared at Cole and Cecil playing with their cousins and tried to figure out why he was so upset. Was it because he was questioning his own sexuality? Was he just being a protective big brother?

His thoughts were interrupted by Kevin's voice.

"Your aunt is making lunch for everybody. Why don't we get something to eat and then we'll talk. I hate it that you're mad at me. I really am your friend."

"I know," said Connor. "Sorry I snapped at you. I do need to talk about it some more. This is just so strange to me."

"Cool," replied Kevin. "Let's get a bite and then we'll find some place to talk privately."

***

Sandy Jacobs walked to Jason's place for the post-Choosing celebration party alone. By the time the members of the Council had put things away and tidied up, the chaos and tension of the morning was gone and Old Knot had return to its normal tranquil state. Almost everyone else had disappeared. Jason Mackey and James Cormack had both offered to walk with him, but Sandy begged for some alone time. He needed to review the day. As he walked along the track toward Indian Spring and Jason's place, he was pleased with his achievements. He had succeeded in getting a second brother through the Choosing safely. Although Stevie had been publicly fucked by Ethan Tucker, in the strange and often warped eyes of the Mackey Community, after the Ceremony was over, the 12-year-old went back to being regarded as an anal virgin once again. Stevie had no further official obligation to Ethan or anyone else in the Mackey clan. Sandy knew that for this brother, that "virgin status" wouldn't remain long, but at least all decisions on that matter were now down to Stevie. Chase had also done as well as expected. He would be awarded negative votes next year for attending the Ceremony at 11, for voting, and for fucking the new official bottom he voted for. Sandy could only provide five negative votes next year, but Chase could also count on additional brother protection from Brad and now Stevie. If the boy played his cards correctly, he would be safe. Unfortunately, the youngest Jacobs brother didn't always do that. As the first boy to fuck Gordon Mackey, Chase now had full and unrestricted access to that bottom until his 12th birthday. There was no official limit on the number of times a day he could ask for a fuck from poor Gordan. Then if Chase wasn't selected at next year's Choosing, he could again take up those full rights for the remainder of the boy's time as a bottom. Sandy would need to speak to Chase about not abusing those rights. The day hadn't ended well for Carter Mackey who many saw as abusing the blow-job package privileges he was awarded as an 11-year-old with Dean. There were both obligations and rewards to being a Mackey, and it was essential that you got that balance right. Sandy understood his youngest brother enough to know he wasn't the type of kid to reach that conclusion on his own. Chase would be starting next year's Choosing Ceremony with a good level of protection, but he didn't need a disgruntled Gordon Mackey destroying all that in one stroke with the 10 bottom points he could wield. Mackey community bottoms had an unfair obligation to the group, but they also had tremendous power as well to determine the outcome of a Choosing. Sandy knew he needed to ensure Chass understood that.

The fourteen-year-old Jacobs boy took the short-cut through the woods to Jebediah Mackey's house. He knew the path well of course because his best friend, Kevin, and Brad's best friend, Sean lived here. They were Jason's younger brothers and Sandy had lost track of the number of times he'd taken this route since his family moved back to Indian Spring. Family was important, and he was pleased he could also report one other success. His first cousin Cole had been protected as promised and wouldn't ever be a Mackey bottom. True, like his own brother Stevie, Cole had been publicly fucked. But that fucking had been done by an 11-year-old and Sandy was pretty sure Cole would put the whole incident behind him quickly. The Mackey clan certainly did. The fact that two members of his immediate family were fucked at the 1996 Choosing Ceremony would only add to his reputation of impartiality he hoped.

The end of the Ceremony this year signified one other thing. His obligation to the community as the bottom's bottom would end in 30 days. He had indeed been fortunate that the only current bottom that ever took up those rights on a regular basis was Kevin. He needed to think about how he would handle that situation going forward. Sandy knew he owed Kevin big time for all the help and support he had provided to him since the Jacobs family moved back to Indian Spring. But Sandy Jacobs wasn't gay, and all the gay sex wasn't really doing it for him any longer. He didn't want to cut his sexual dalliances with his friend off completely, but he had that right. Kevin was no longer a bottom and therefore had no further call on Sandy's ass. He also doubted whether any of the new bottoms this year would ever make use of his services in the short time remaining. They had too many of their own concerns for now.

Sandy also wondered whether he had done or said the wrong thing at any time during the day that might come back to haunt him or his family. Had he promoted some kids too aggressively? He had no doubt made enemies. He felt certain most of the new bottoms might bear grudges for some of the things he said. But he was only doing what the Mackey boy community expected at a Choosing. He would need to go out of his way to rebuild those relationships over the next 12 months.

As he made his way across the bridge and towards the final turn for Jebediah Mackey's house, Sandy could hear the post Choosing party was already well underway. All the members of the Senior Council would be present as well as a high percentage of the dads and uncles. There would be a full BBQ lunch eventually, but news of the day's events was the top priority for adults just now. Sandy knew his own father and his Uncle Carlton would be there. They both had sons on this year's List after all. Sandy liked the idea his dad getting more involved in family politics and they had already discussed the man's intention of running for the Senior Council later in the year. His election seemed a "certainty" from the rumors he had heard.

It was only mid-afternoon, but already the noise level was high. As tradition dictated, many of the fathers may have spent the entire morning at the Mackey-Sanders tavern located less than a mile away from Old Knot. Some, no doubt, had already consumed more alcohol than was sensible, but the good thing about Mackey events was that the adults policed each other. Anyone behaving "inappropriately" was brought to heal quickly. Like the Junior Council, the adult equivalent had its own methods of control.

Sandy made his way along the final block and was glad he had decided to walk. It gave him the time he needed to review his day. Even more important, it would allow time for one of the other Junior Council members to break the news that both Stevie and Cole had been fucked. He knew his dad wouldn't be concerned about that and was confident he could explain the situation to Uncle Carlton. But Sandy preferred the job of dealing with that news fall to his father initially. It was embarrassment, not cowardice the 14-year-old told himself.

As he pushed open the gate to Jebediah Mackey's house, Sandy concluded that the 1996 Choosing Ceremony had gone well for him and his immediate family. The 12-year-old Jacobs cousins were now full Mackey with all rights and privileges and no bottom obligations to the community. There were losers today of course. The 5 new Mackey community bottoms came to mind. But Sandy Jacobs was determined to work as hard as he possibly could to ensure those boys not only survived, but coped as well as they could with the burden they now faced. Rebuilding trust with them would become his major priority. The personalities of the new bottoms were more combative and that would be a challenge. But he had done it in 1995 after the last selection and knew he could do it again. He had more experience in dealing in Mackey politics this time. The 1996 Mackey Choosing Ceremony was over, but the hardest part of his job was just beginning.


All for now, but...
