We enjoyed our steak dinner on the patio. Gil and I shared a bottle of a nice Australian Merlot with the meal, so I surmised he didn't plan on driving tonight. As much as I enjoyed my quickie with Gil in the bathroom earlier in the afternoon, all the nude wrestling and hot naked play in the pool was making me feel really horny. I liked the idea of having someone in my bed all night and the chance to take my time. During dinner, Gil said he had learned that there was some kind of delay in the filing of charges against the Bowers kid but he was having trouble getting any information on the case. I shared with them the information I had gotten from my friend at Southern, although I provided a highly sanitized version, not using any of godawful language the Bowers thugs had spray-painted on the new building. Gil gave me a look indicating his understanding that I was not going into detail to spare the boys. We talked a bit about the swim practice we would be going to in the morning and Jack and Bradley answered a lot of questions about how things worked for the boys and me. The guys told us that they would be assessing each boy's proficiency in swimming to determine what might be the best event for each of the guys. Then they would determine which guys might be their best shots at the relays. They told the boys to expect that they might be chosen for one event and only the top five or six would be chosen for the relays. Landry was wound up like a two dollar clock, he was so excited. He asked if we could all swim a little more after dinner so he'd have time for a little more practice. We all chuckled at his enthusiasm. Gil, Jack, Bradley and Ren started clearing the table, rinsing plates, and loading the dishwasher while Landry and I went into my office to check for responses to the party invitations. We had one more acceptance so I named off to Landry which kids were coming to the party. That seemed to satisfy him, so he took my hand and we walked out to the pool area. Ren and Bradley were back in the pool while Gil was having a quiet discussion with Jack. I assumed the boys were skinny-dipping when I spotted their clothes draped over a chaise. Landry stripped down and ran to jump in the pool. I joined Jack and Gil, who were discussing the Bowers situation. Gil was saying how weird it was that he had such a hard time getting information at all. He said the police were tight-lipped and he couldn't get any information as to where Bobby was being held or even if he was still in police custody. He had called a good friend in the District Attorney's office who had told him he would try to find out more info and get back to him. He had learned the girl had been released from the hospital. Very little information on her condition was available as no one at the hospital was talking. It all seemed very strange and I suspected a cover-up might be in progress. I shared with Jack and Gil some of the more tawdry details on Bowers' spree at Southern. Both were as speechless as I had been when I heard it from Tom. Jack said he better go spell Ren or Bradley a bit and the boy just stripped naked right there in front of us and folded his clothes, leaving them on the chair. He seemed to think nothing about his nudity or about letting people see every inch of his beautiful body. He joined the guys in the pool. Gil asked if the invitation to join the boys and me at swim practice in the morning was still good. "You're not having breakfast with your girls?" I asked. No," he said. "Janice is being a bitch about things. She said if I wanted to be with my daughters I should get my ass back home I'm really torn, Rob. I want my daughters but I really don't feel anything for Janice and I just don't want to live with her or be around her anymore." "I'm so sorry, friend," I said. "That has to be tough. Just know that whatever you decide, I support you without question. If there's anything we can do to make your life better, we're on board. Just know that my boys and I love you and that I treasure your friendship." I love the sex we're having but for me that`s just icing on the cake. Our friendship is the most important thing and that will always come first." "Thanks," he said. "It's a shame things have to be so complicated but I'm just not going to let it get to me. You want to get naked with the boys?" "You bet," I said, starting to shuck clothes. We both stripped in a flash and cannonballed into the pool, creating a giant splash. We played in the pool for about an hour and a half. I could tell Landry was getting sleepy, so I got into a chaise and asked him to come and lie down with me. He did. I snuggled his little body up against me and held him in my arms. His little hand was playing in my chest hair, as he loves to do. His hand brushing my nipples was making my cock twitch and while I chubbed up, I didn't get fully erect. I pulled a towel over us to at least partially disguise my tumescence. Ren said he probably should head for bed as he didn't want to be tired in the morning, so he headed up to take his shower and get ready for bed. Shortly thereafter, I excused myself to take Landry up to bed, advising the others I would be back after I got baby settled. I took Landry up to his bed and put his little naked body between the sheets. I pulled the light duvet over him, kissed his forehead and turned on his night light. I left his door slightly ajar and went to check on Ren. He had already showered and brushed his teeth and was in bed. I asked him if he planned to read and he said he didn't think so, he felt like going to sleep. I gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek and, telling him I loved him, said good night, turned out the overhead light and closed his door. I poured what was left of the wine into a glass and took it out to share with Gil. As I headed back out to the pool area I had the big towel from earlier casually wrapped around my waist. The three guys were still in the pool, so I dropped the towel and joined them. I was feeling horny and was slightly chubbed up as I got in the water. I was sure Bradley had taken note of my not-completely-soft dick as I got in the water. I swam over to the other guys who were just floating around. I wondered if Jack and Bradley were feeling horny too because they were constantly touching. When I swam over, Jack was on his knees in the shallow part of the pool and Bradley was being him with both arms draped over Jacks shoulders. He was lazily rubbing Jack's chest and would occasionally tease him with a pinch of one of his nipples. It was casual and very horny to watch. "Bradley and Jack," I began, "there's something I wanted to mention to you guys. "Uh-oh," Jack said. "Have we done something to get in trouble?" "Oh no," I assured him. "I'm so glad to have you guys around. You're both such great influences on my sons and I appreciate you both. I just wanted to ask if you would be interested in acting as lifeguards at Landry's birthday party a week from tomorrow. I'm going to have a bunch of young boys here without their parents and I just don't want to have any problems. I think they are all good swimmers, I just want their parents to have confidence that they will be well-supervised and taken care of while they're here." Both boys agreed to do so. "I'll be paying both of you to do this and I promise to be generous.'" "Bradley's escort kocaeli not cheap but he's easy," Jack said, laughing. Yeah, right, and Jack off will do anything and everything if you tempt him with a dollar," Bradley shot back. This set off another round of water wrestling but this round was noticeably less athletic with a lot of grabbing below the belt and grabbing of nipples and butts. It was very sexy to watch. As the boys continued their sexy play, I told the boys they were welcome to bring dates if they would like. Bradley said he had recently broken up with the girl he was dating so he would be alone. Jack said he wasn't dating anyone so he would consider Bradley his date. We all chuckled at that as Bradley jokingly reached out and put his arm around Jack. "You could certainly do worse than Jack," Gil said in a half-joking voice. "Both of you guys are hot boys. I'm surprised you don't both have to fight women off your bodies," I said. I looked over and Bradley had begun rubbing one of Jack's nipples. "I'll give you all night to stop that," Jack said. Jack's nipple was getting harder by the second. I looked over at Gil and his thick cock was coming to life. He reached down and stroked it and tugged on his long foreskin. Both boys had locked eye contact with me, as if looking for some kind of sign that this was running off the tracks or it was okay. I gave the boys my best smile and a wink, nodding to Gil as he finished our shared glass of wine. "Looks like our buddy Gil needs some attention," Jack said as he moved closer and sat down on the same chair with Gil. Both Jack and Bradley were watching me to gauge my reaction to this sexual innuendo which seemed to be escalating. I walked up behind Gil and started rubbing his shoulders. I let one hand drop down to start teasing his hairy nipples. "Fuck, man, that feels so good," Gil moaned. As if on cue, Jack reached in and started stroking Bradley's big cock. It was beginning to harden and I wondered just how big it would get. Gil had begun playing with his own cock, fingering his long, puckered foreskin. Bradley asked Gil if he could touch it. He said he's always been curious about uncut guys but had never had the chance to examine one. Gil gave him permission and Bradley moved his face down to inspect Gil's uncut meat. I reached out and pulled Jack into a hug. His lips came to mine and we kissed deeply. "I've been wanting some of this," the handsome boy said. "So have I," I shared as I kissed him and began running my hands over his smooth body. This fuck train was moving too fast to stop now even if I had wanted it too. The wine had lowered my inhibitions just enough to be ready for anything these guys wanted. Jack and I lay down on the chaise beside the one Gil and Bradley were on. Gil and the boy were sharing a deep, hot kiss and both of them were sporting hardons. Gil's foreskin had retracted completely, exposing his shiny pink dickhead. Bradley's dick was the longest I had ever seen with a head the size of a small apple. Gil and Bradley were still eating each other's face, kissing hotly with their tongues battling. Jack and I watched the hot scene for a moment, then, on a nod from Jack, he moved over and started sucking on Gil's hairy, engorged nips while I headed south and started licking his hairy thighs. All three of us focused on giving Gil complete pleasure. It was beautiful to see two hot smooth boys pleasuring my friend. I took his hard cock all the way in my mouth. He tried to thrust but I held his hips still, not wanting to rush this. Bradley was now licking his entire face, his eyes, his nose, his chin, his cheeks, while Jack was sucking one of his nipples and tweaking and pulling on the other. I watched as Jack and Bradley switched places and Jack thrust his tongue into Gil's hungry mouth. I could tell Gil had wanted to taste that boy for a long time and he devoured him. I pulled off Gil's cock and drug my tongue down across his full, hairy balls and continued south. I pried his legs apart and started licking his manhole. Jack had joined me at that point and as I started tongue fucking Gil's manhole, Jack took his hard cock in his mouth. Gil was humping madly and I knew it wouldn't take much of this for him to peak. I had his hole wet and slick with my juices, so I put one of my fingers in my mouth, got it super wet and then started teasing Gil's hole. He resisted at first, but I pushed it, rubbing the tip of my finger all around and teasing his hairy hole. I began to slide the tip of my finger in his hole and heard a guttural moan from Gil's mouth. He was still kissing Bradley and Jack was still sucking his dick all the way to the hilt as I slid my slick middle finger into his hole, meeting resistance, but pushing until I felt his magic button. I began finger fuck him, my thick finger right on his sensitive prostate and Jack was speeding up the strokes on his dick. I felt Gil's prostate begin to harden, the way it does when a guy is about to unload his cream. I rubbed his fucknut furiously until it got as hard as a stone and he began to fill Jack's mouth with his potent seed that had knocked his wife the first time he ever fucked her. I kept rubbing until Gil began to try to pull away, Jack had drained Gil's nuts completely and the boy was now just holding his slowly softening cock still in his mouth without moving at all. I gently removed my finger from his hairy manhole as Bradley was cradling Gil's head in his arms, giving him light kisses on the top of his head and his forehead. I think Gil may have actually lost consciousness very briefly. Gil was completely spent but had one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen. "Guys, that was incredible," he said as his breathing gradually returned to normal. That's great for you but three of us still have hardons", I chided. "I can help you guys out but I think it will have to be one at a time," said a winded Gil. He pulled Bradley into a position where the boy was sitting on his chest as Gil began licking his monster cock. It was fun watching him get the big cockhead in his mouth and watching my friend try to take as much of the jumbo cock s he could. Jack and I were watching as Jack pulled me onto the other chaise. He kissed me hungrily, like a boy who had been starved for a man's attention. "I think they're occupied for a while," I whispered in his ear. Would you like to join me in my bedroom?" I asked him. "You bet your ass I would, Rob." We quietly left Gil sucking on Bradley's big cock and made our way up the stairs to my bedroom. I peeked in and both boys were sleeping soundly. I led Jack over to my bed and pushed him down in the center. He reached up and pulled my face in close, kissing me again. His tongue was wild and hot. I took his entire boy tongue in my mouth and sucked on it, until he relaxed a bit, then I pushed his out and moved my own tongue into his mouth. We were both breathing heavily but I wanted more out of this. I flipped this lithe boy onto his tummy and licked my way down his back until I was licking and gently slapping both his firm, smooth buttocks. I wanted to taste everything this boy had to offer. I liked his crack from the bottom to the top and back down again. He was writhing. I got on my knees behind him, my head at the level of his butt. I began to pry his legs open. He was hesitant to let me but I continued my efforts and he gave in. I wondered if he had never had any experience with butthole fun. I drug my tongue all over his ballsack and then back to his crack. I held both of his balls in my hot wet mouth for a long minute, then I licked wetly all the way to the top of his crack and then drug my tongue back down slowly, ending with my tongue right at his kocaeli anal yapan escort hole. I spread his cheeks apart, getting my first look at his beautiful hole. It was pink and hairless as a newborn baby. It was absolutely beautiful. I started flicking my tongue on his hole and he started bucking. I held on and rode his hole with my tongue, getting his beautiful starfish soaked with my own juices. I knew he was ready so I began circling his hole with my slick finger, making slow circles. He was wiggling that smooth butt, needing something in his hole. I inserted my index finger into his amazingly tight little hole and jammed it up until I felt his prostate gland. When I hit his p-spot, it was obvious no one had ever touched him in that place before. He started humping the bed wildly as though he needed to unload. I held him still and pulled my finger out. He was gasping for air, reaching for my hand, trying to get my finger back in his hole. I waited a couple of seconds, then jammed the finger back in and started rubbing his soft little gland. I could feel it began to harden so I pulled out again. I again held him still as he was grabbing wildly for my hand, needing his spot stimulated again. He was whimpering now so I jammed two fingers all the way in and started to knead his gland. Keeping my fingers on his spot, I flipped his body over and took his hard cock in my mouth all the way. He started shooting his cum in my mouth immediately. Spurt after spurt went into my throat. I tried to pull off so I could taste it but he was desperate to unload his cream. He kept humping my face wildly until he was spent. I kept my mouth completely still on his still-hard cock as I gently slid my fingers from his hole. He whimpered gently as my fingers left him. I knew that feeling of emptiness. I delicately moved my mouth off his now softening cock and moved up to lie beside him. His hand was now gently stroking my hard cock. It only took a few strokes until I released a hot load of cream onto my crotch and in his hand. I guided his hand up to his face and he licked my seed off his fingers until none was left. I pulled the sheet up over our bodies, put my arm around Jack, and we slept. I woke up the next morning alone in my big bed. I wondered where Jack was. I smiled as I remembered the feel and the taste of that boy. I hoped everything was okay. I washed up a bit, cleaning the sticky cum from my crotch and tummy, washed my face, brushed my teeth, put on pajama pants and headed down the stairs, worried about whether Jack might be upset about what had happened. I think I was afraid he might feel guilty for getting carried away in the moment and doing things he wouldn't otherwise have done. I heard voices as I got closer to the kitchen. It sounded like Jack's and my sons' voices. Sure enough it was the three of them. Jack was teaching Ren to cook French toast and Landry was attempting to pour juice, but getting more on the counter than in the glasses. "Good morning, Rob," Jack greeted ne as if nothing had happened last night. Both boys ran over for hugs. I hugged them, then Jack came around the corner for a hug. "Breakfast will be ready in a couple of minutes. I thought I'd get both boys in the pool for a quick lesson before we head to the natatorium for team swim practice." "Sounds great," I said. We sat down and had a delicious breakfast. I was discovering Jack to be a boy with many talents. Things seemed completely normal. Maybe it was perfectly normal for a man to have breakfast with his sons and a young guy he had wild, crazy, finger-fucking, cocksucking sex with just hours before. I doubted it was what my former mother-in-law would characterize as normal, but fuck my former mother-in-law! Landry was excited and so was Ren. The boys had decided to wear their Speedos under their shorts to practice as Jack thought that might be a good idea. I thought I recognized the pajama pants Jack was wearing as a pair of my own. After breakfast, I sent the boys upstairs to wash up and put on bathing suits for their quick lesson. When they were safely out of hearing range, I looked at Jack questioningly. He leaned in and gave me another hug and a chaste kiss on the cheek. "Don't worry, Rob. Everything is good. I woke up early and you were sleeping so well, I didn't want to wake you. I was going to take a quick shower and head to the guest house before the boys woke up. I got in the shower and the next thing I knew, Landry had joined me. He said he often showered with you so I figured it best not to make a deal out of it. We had a shower and I came out, realizing I had nothing to wear. Landry asked me if I needed some pajamas. I told him yes and he got me a pair of yours. You were sleeping so soundly, we just didn't want to wake you. I don't think he had any idea that things weren't perfectly normal. "That may be because things are perfectly normal, Jack. Maybe not in everyone's world, but certainly in the world I want for me and my boys. You're part of our world so Landry didn't find it at all abnormal for you to be in my bed or in my shower. I think that's great." "I like it too, Rob, and I hope you know that nothing changes in our relationship, my relationship with your boys, or my relationship with Gil or Brad. To be honest, it wasn't the first time Brad and I have messed around. I hope it won't affect the way you feel about me or Bradley." "Not in the least, kiddo. I think you are absolutely extraordinary. I wouldn't mind spending a few days naked in bed with you if I thought my old heart could take it. I think you probably figured out that Gil and I have a kind of special friendship too." Jack said, "I didn't know what was going on with Gil but I knew that he has seemed a lot happier lately. He never said anything, but I had a feeling he wasn't real happy at home. I've never seen him as happy as he seems when he's hanging out here with you and your boys and that makes me glad. No one should be sad." "You are really something else, ya know, kiddo?" I asked. I think you guys have more mature attitudes about sex and relationships than I could ever hope to. I am just glad you're here for me and for my boys." He came close and we exchanged another hug and a very brief kiss as we heard the boys coming down the stairs. "We're ready to hit the pool," Ren said. Jack said he needed to run to the guest house to grab a swimsuit. The boys told him that wasn't necessary as they would just take theirs off. Jack looked over at me as if to ask if that would be okay and I just shrugged and suggested they go for it. They proceeded to strip theirs off as Jack dropped his (my) pajama pants and tossed them at my head as he ran out behind my naked sons. I followed the boys out to the pool area where I picked up the clothes left there the night before when we had our impromptu skinny-dipping party. I realized Gil and Bradley were probably in the guest house with nothing to wear, so I headed to the guest house with their clothes in my hands. Bradley answered the door, still naked with his big cock swinging, drying his hair with a towel. "Boy, you better cover that thing up before somebody grabs it," I laughed. He chuckled and said, "I'm afraid it wouldn't be worth much right now. It's kinda worn out at the moment. I heard Gil shout from the bedroom, "Son, I never thought you'd be the kind of boy to kiss and tell!" We all had a good laugh as Bradley headed back to the bathroom and I went into the bedroom where a naked Gil was still in bed with only a sheet covering him. "Man, last night was one of the best nights of my life!" Gil said as I sat on the side of the bed. "Me too, buddy." I sat down izmit yabancı escort on the edge of the bed and he pulled me in for a hug and a nice kiss. "Is everything all right with Jack this morning, "Gil inquired. "Everything is as great as ever, "I assured him. "You apparently had some more fun after we parted." "You bet I did," he said. How often am I likely to get a hot and hairless young boy in bed with me? You better believe I was going to take every advantage of it I was able to take. " "Well, old man," I said, "you better get your ass up and showered if you're joining us for the swim practice. The boy I was with last night got up and fixed breakfast for me and my sons. You were obviously too busy doing nasty, carnal sinful things with that cute boy to take a break for breakfast." "Hey, I heard that, "Bradley said as he came out the bathroom and started dressing. "Thanks for bringing our clothes. I was afraid the old man and I might have to do a walk of shame." I laughed. I asked Gil if he thought we might be in trouble for seducing two of America's Finest Youth. Gil said, "I think we're all right on that score, Rob. According to my young friend, we were the ones seduced. Bradley confessed to me while I was sucking on his tiny little boy cock that he and Jack had jerked off together fantasizing about a foursome with us two daddies." You could have knocked me over with a feather when I heard that. Those two hot lads had a wank together fantasizing about Gil and me?? I was considering whether it would be appropriate to ask for a repeat performance. Just as I had that thought, Bradley, still naked as he could be walked up to me, gave me a hug and a kiss on the mouth and asked, "You think you old guys might be up for a repeat performance sometime?" he asked. Fuck me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gil said he would hitch a ride with Bradley over to the natatorium and they would grab a drive-thru breakfast. I told him that was great and we would see them in about an hour and a half. Bradley walked with me to the door and pulled me in for a hug. He looked me squarely in the eye and said, "Jack may be the luckiest guy in the world. Thanks for letting me join you and your boys." "Kiddo, you're welcome in this boys' club any time," I said as he pulled me in for a long, very wet kiss. Jack was finishing his lesson as I got back to the pool. "Time to shower and get ready to go, guys," I told them. Jack, would you mind helping Landry with his shower so I can have a quick talk with Ren?" "Not at all,' he said, picking up the naked boy and putting him on his shoulders and riding him up the stairs. "We've had one shower today, we'll take another one but this time in Landry's shower. When we got upstairs, I nodded for Ren to come into my bedroom. He followed me in and I closed the door. "Dad," he said in a worried voice, "have I done something wrong?" "Not at all, son," I said, but I think I may have. I motioned for him to sit on the bed and I sat down very closely beside him. He had wrapped himself below the waist in that big fluffy towel he brought up from the pool. "Son" I began, "something has really been bothering me. You and I had an agreement about no secrets between the two of us. Do you remember that?" "Yes, sir," he said with a little bit of a guilty look. "Son, I've kept something from you. Do you remember the day I left you guys with Jack while I ran some errands?" Sure dad," Ren said, blushing. "Son, you haven't done anything to be embarrassed or guilty about. I was at fault because when I came in you and Jack were on the patio with Landry asleep nearby. I should have let you know I was back but, before I could do that, I saw you were doing what all boys do. "Dad, I'm so sor..." I put my finger to his lips and said, "No, Ren, you did nothing wrong. I was in the wrong for not letting you know I was there watching you. It was so hot for me when I realized you had your pants down I saw your beautiful body. I saw you stroking yourself and it was just so hot and so exciting. I stood there, watching you, mesmerized. I knew I should have made you aware I was there, but I was almost frozen. When I realized Jack was watching you masturbate and he even started doing it too, I couldn't stop watching. As a matter of fact, I joined you without you knowing. "Dad," he began, "you jerked watching us?" "Yes, son, and I'm not proud of it. I should have had more respect for your privacy. After I did it, I felt too guilty to tell you about it, and then I felt even more guilty about keeping a secret from my precious boy I'm so sorry and I hope you will forgive me." "Dad," he said as he reached out for a hug. "Of course I forgive you. Number one, I love you. Number two ? I could never be mad at you. I'm glad you enjoyed watching. If I'd known that, it would have made it even hotter. I've been hoping Jack and I could help each other out, you know, touch each other and stroke one another and stuff." "Kiddo, I think Jack would probably like that too but he's probably thinking you're too young and it might make me mad if he did stuff with you." "I understand, dad, but I'd really like to do that." "Son," I said, "just be patient. Things will happen in their own good time. He hugged me tightly and gave me a kiss on the lips. "You're the best," I told him. "No, sir," he said, "you're the best! Dad we've got to shower. Do you think, since Landry is showering with Jack, that I might shower with you." "Of course you can, soon, but I have another confession to make," I told him. "What's that, dad?" "I've got a boner," I told him. "I do too," he laughed as we headed into my hot steamy shower. He stood up and dropped his towel. Sure enough his beautiful uncut pecker was hard as a rock. You could only see the tip of the head as his foreskin covered most of it even when he got hard. I realized we had so much in common, as I ditched my clothing and stood there hard in front of my son. It was a beautiful moment with no shame on the part of either of us. "We really don't have secrets now, do we, son? I picked him up and carried him piggy back into my shower, my hard cock leading the way. I put some shampoo on his head and lathered it up, then rinsed it off. I quickly lathered my own hair as he stood staring at my exposed boy with nothing hidden from him. He soaped up my body as I soaped his. It was sensuous and beautiful. "Son, I think there are things we both would like to do right now, but we're running really short on time.," I told him. He looked up into my eyes and quietly asked, "Dad, can I just touch it?" "Of course you can, son. He shyly reached out his right hand and touched my hard cock. It had never been harder and I was having feelings I had never imagined. He put his hand around it and as he slid the skin back to completely expose the head, I heard a little moan come from his lips. I picked him up and brought his face close to mine. I gave him a long kiss right on the lips. As much as I wanted to continue, I put him down and said, "we've gotta get dressed and out of here in five minutes, kiddo." "I know dad," he said as he took off for his room. I grabbed his arm and gently pulled his face close to my lips. "Son, we can do more later, if it's something you really want to do." "You bet I do, dad, you bet I do!" I swatted his buttocks as he took off for his room. Landry's room was empty so I assumed he and Jack were already downstairs. When I came downstairs, I think Jack saw the tent in my shorts. He gave me a questioning smile and asked, "Where's Ren?" "He's on his way. I'll get the car out of the garage and meet you guys out front, I told him." "Okey dokey," he said lifting Landry up onto his broad shoulders. I pulled the car around, lowering the top on the BMW as I pulled to a stop. Jack jumped in beside me as my sons hoped in the back seat and buckled up. It was one of those early fall days in Alabama that was perfect for a ride in a convertible. I wondered how life could possibly be any better.
