Date: Wed, 21 May 2008 18:30:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Larry_c_@excite.com Subject: My Brother's Kids, chapter 12 Same warnings and admonitions as always. This is a FICTION work; I do not support doing things with under-aged youth in real life! Hope you don't either! ENJOY! We left off: "Eaton? You notice anything about Joey this morning? Seems to me that he wasn't his regular self ... know what I mean?" "Maybe it`s just concert jitters, Case! Lots'a performers get `em before a program ... even Larry! Relax and enjoy the show, OK? He'll probably be fine after it's all over." "Unless he ... uh ... I mean if anything happened between him and Kor last night ..." "Bro ... drop it! That's silly! You know how much Kor is part of the family now! That's absurd!" "Uh ... if you say so, Eaton, but I think it still deserves watching later!" Just then, Joey stood, tuned the band as Concert Master, and introduced Mr. F. as Conductor of today's program. Larry walked on stage and with one hand gesture, the band played the National Anthem under the baton of Korey's leadership ... the audience stood, and sang along with the band ... and a huge cheer followed the rendition. The rest of the concert was a real hit! (Especially the medley from "How The West Was Won";) But at the final bows ... both Kor and Joey looked somewhat less than happy when Larry introduced his student leadership team ... "See, Eaton ... see what I mean? Concert's over, and the jitters should be gone ... shouldn't they?" My Brother's Kids Are Now Mine Chapter Twelve "Look, Little Brother, you just gotta stop thinkin' such nonsense! Kor and Dad are tight! Real tight! Besides, Joey is so clued in to us scouts that he just couldn't want to try taking Korey away from Dad! He doesn't even know that Dad has such interests in the first place. And as far as Kor is concerned, he wouldn't betray Dad for a second. It's gotta be somethin' else ... if anything ... that's buggin' them, OK?" "If you say so, Eaton! It's just that my gut tells me otherwise. I sure hope it's lyin', `cause if anything hurt Daddy, I'd prob'ly wanna do somethin' pretty bad to Korey ... and even more to Joey!" "Trust me, Bro ... it's just your young active mind playin' tricks! Ignore it!" After the concert was over, and the band disbursed until the evening performance and fireworks, the players scattered all over the town ... except for Korey, who joined Larry and the boys at the dining room again. Of course, nothing could be shared that might even suggest more than a teacher/ student arrangement, but Case still had a puzzled look on his face as he sat across from Kor ... almost staring at the 18-year-old's eyes, which seemed to be at the brink of tears throughout a rather strained conversation between him and Larry during the meal. Finally, after dessert, Larry asked Kor to take the boys to the carnival set up at the end of the town and let them have a good time while he wanted to get some rest. Kor agreed, and the trio headed for the coaster, Ferris wheel, and whatever games that might be of interest. On route, Case couldn't help but inquire ... "Uh...Kor? Anything wrong? You look sad!" "Naw ... I'm OK ... I guess! Why do you ask, Case?" "I dunno ... it's just that you look like you're about to cry or sumthin', and I just worry about you, `cause you're fam now!" "Wow, Case! That's so sweet of you! It means a lot to me that you care so much! You and Eaton here are the closest I've ever had to brothers, or nephews, or whatever ... no one's ever considered my feelings to be important like you two do ... and Larry, of course. I guess I'm just a little emotional because it's all so overwhelming ... and I have to keep it a secret, when I want to shout out that I am finally loved! But someday, I'll be able to tell all, I hope!" "See, Case! I told you it was nothing! Now let's all have some fun together ... I bet Kor can still enjoy the rides with us! He might even get sick, and then we'd have somethin' to kid him about! OK, Bro?" "Yeah, Eaton ... guess you're right after all. Thanks! I'm done worryin'." After several rides and a few games played, Eaton saw Joey across the midway, and ran over to ask him to join the trio for the rest of the afternoon. Joey gracefully declined the invitation, saying he had something he needed to do before the next concert ... and quickly left the carnival grounds like a scared rabbit. Eaton picked up on the fact that it seemed as if Joey was trying to avoid someone ... which brought Eaton's thoughts back to Case's suggestion about the way both Joey and Korey had looked at the earlier program. Eaton decided to take his own advice and simply drop that idea before it grew too big to cut off. Another hour or two disappeared as the trio enjoyed every booth and ride available, until the boys were exhausted. Kor took them back to their room and headed for his own ... only to discover Joey was already stretched out on the bed asleep. Kor tried to be quiet, but evidently, Joey wasn't sleeping too deeply, and suddenly sat up in surprise as he realized someone else was in the room ... "Who ... uh ... Kor, is that you?" "Yeah Joey ... who else, Man?" "Uh ... just surprised me, that's all! I thought you were tied up with Mr.F.'s kids, so I came here to get some rest. I feel really drained." "Look, Joey ... if you want me to leave, I will!" "Hell, Kor ... if you do, someone's gonna figure there's something wrong between us, and we're gonna be screwed!" "Fuck, Dude! Maybe we already are! I mean, you couldn't even join me with the kids this afternoon ... and my stomach is in knots when I think about my partner's possible reaction if I'm ever discovered! I don't want it to affect you and me, but it seems like it already has." "God, Man ... I didn't want it to do that! I don't want it to ruin the good thing we have going ... This is the shits! What can we do about it now?" "Joey ... I just don't know! If I admit it to my Lover that you and I have enjoyed each other already, things could fall apart for good. If I don't, I might explode! And to be honest ... I can't help think I still want to have my cake and eat it too. That's the worst part! I don't want you out of my life, but I just don't know how to handle the whole thing. I feel like a little kid right now ... confused, wanting two great relationships ... neither being hurt by the other. On the other hand, I want the commitment between two partners to be strong and permanent. Damn, I wish you could help me figure it out!" "Kor ... Last night was a wonderful answer to over two years of my own dreams. If there was no one else in your life, like the way it is for me, I'd know what to tell you. I'd ask you to become my lover and we'd be a permanent couple. But ... you have a girlfriend, and I don't know how to be in competition with that. I've never had one of my own. Hell, I've never had any relationship like that...ever. Quite frankly, I am a total wreck because I feel responsible for whatever happens to your other relationship because of me. And I think it shows, too. Somehow I think that it's so obvious that even Eaton noticed when he came and asked me to join y'all this afternoon. That sucks, Man! If a kid can tell ... shit!" "Well ... we have to get our heads into tonight's concert, so let's try to put this aside for now. Our first priority is to be the student leaders Mr. F. needs us to be, and not allow our confusion to overshadow the needs of the entire band. Maybe something will come to mind later tonight, when we come back here to turn in." Joey nodded, and the room turned silent. Eye contact between the two seemed to change moods back and forth between desire and sadness ... confusion and hopes ... concern and some anger ... who knows what all; finally they both began to change for the evening program. The crowds were very positively impressed with the band's performance. Even the Governor attended, and stood afterwards to offer a proclamation that gave honor to the community that sponsored such great student achievement. Mr. F. was given a State plaque as a `Teacher of Excellence', which was a total surprise to him. Following the ribbon cutting that officially re-opened the restored Fallon Theater; an equally great fireworks show filled the country sky, leaving the on-lookers in awe. After that, Mr. F. told the band members that instead of returning home in the morning, he had received District permission to extend their outing to include, at the invitation of the Governor, the rest of the week-end at Yosemite National Park in the valley's famous Awanee Hotel as a reward for a job well done. Larry decided that every parent would need to be contacted in order to extend the dates of the permission slips, so he asked Korey to give him a hand in the phoning of each family. He also asked if Joey could take the boys with him while the job was being accomplished. Joey agreed; both Eaton and Casey were agreeable ... and off to the ice cream parlor they went. Eaton began a conversation by telling Joey that Case was really anxious to get into scouts as soon as possible ... to which Joey suggested `Weblos', which is the Cub Scout program for 10-year-olds that prepared kids for Boy Scouts. It turns out that Joey also taught one session a month of that level of Cubs, and being in that group qualified a boy for camp-outs as part of his training. Case thought that'd be cool! So ... "Does that mean I can go with you and Eaton for over-niters, "Matt"?" "And just why would you want to do that already, Case?" (Snickering ...) " Duh! I know what you and Eaton do ... he's taught me a whole bunch of it already, and I wanna learn a lot more!" "Eaton! You taught him everything? Man ... if he ever..." "Joey ... I mean "Matt" ... (big grin) ... he'd never squeal! He's even more hot and horny that I've ever been! If I hadn't asked you to allow him to join, that's when we would'a had a problem! Besides, he's big enough to give you almost as much fun as I do! I thought you knew that already!" "Well, maybe I did, and maybe I didn't ... but heck, I'm always open to merit badge achievement of all types. Welcome to my den, scout Casey! Of course you know we watch each other's back in my troop...right!" "No one knows that me and Eaton do what we do, so I can keep a secret as good as he can! When do we start?" "God, Eaton ...you meant what you said about this little horn toad, didn't you! Maybe we can get started while we're at Yosemite ... nature study badge, perhaps! Would that please you, Case?" "Oh yeah! Perfect!" Just then, Joey's room phone rang ... "Yeah? Joey here!" "Joey ... it's Mr. F. here ... I hate to ask, but this project is going to take longer than I thought, and it has to be done before I can allow everyone onto the bus in the morning. It won't take all night, but I know the boys are ready to crash. Mind if they stay in your room tonight with you, because Kor will be here helping me with the calls until we finish ... which will be way too late for the boys to stay up." "Gee, Mr. F., maybe I ought'a ask them if it's OK with them first ... hey guys ... (explaining the situation) ... what'a'ya say?" "Well, guess we could pretend it's a camp-out!" "Mr.F., it seems to be acceptable to them, so sure thing. See y'all in the morning at breakfast then!" "I appreciate it, Joey ... I know you'll treat them right! G'night!" "Well, guys ... shall I put some blankets and pillows on the floor?" "What? you kidding? Not unless you want to sleep down there by yourself, "Matt"! "Then you two hit the shower, and I'll take mine when you're done. It's getting late, and you need to be fresh for the week-end in the park." Case and Eaton took their shower, making sure they got spankin' clean, and headed back to the bed as Joey jumped into the water to rid himself of the day's sweat and tight muscles. When Joey got back to the bed and pulled back the covers to crawl in ... both boys were stark naked and smiling brightly ... "We sleep this way all the time, "Matt", hope you don't mind!" "Shit, boys ... those tent poles could hold up quite a shelter in the woods! I knew what Eaton had in that department, but Case ... for the size of the rest of you ... uh ... nice equipment you got there, Little Man! And, Do I mind? Not if you don't care that I sleep the same way!" Needless to say, "Matt" spent little time beginning to see just what Case had been taught already by Eaton ... doing a 69 with each boy and discovering that Case's technique was well on its way to perfection. Joey was surprised at the strength of Case's dry orgasm far exceeded expectation he had for a kid of just 10 years-of-age. What really surprised him was the fact that while he was sucking Eaton, Case lay behind Joey and began playing with his rosebud to get it ready for entrance by Case's 3-plus breakfast sausage that had not even lost its stiffness after such a beautiful response to being sucked off earlier. So while Eaton was being swallowed by Joey, Case slid his boy cock into Joey's backside like a pro, and began to display pretty good technique as he serviced Joey's back door. Joey made a comment about how good it felt, even though Case was not nearly as large as anyone else who had done the job. Then Case responded... "You mean, I'm as good as Eaton or Korey?" Joey froze! "Uh ... uh ... Eaton feels pretty good, yeah! But how'd you figure out that..." "That maybe you and Kor did something?" Then Joey broke into tears! He pulled away from both boys, and jumped out of bed, landing in the chair across the room, and sobbing like a baby. "Geesh, "Matt", I didn't mean to..." "But how'd you figure that out, Case? How the hell ... I mean, neither of us said a word! Oh God...please don't mention it to anyone else! I'm dead meat!" "Shit, Little Brother, I told you to drop that idea! You might have just ruined our only outlet for sexual fun by destroying the one guy who can give it to us. Besides, you may have just shot Korey in the head as well! Damn it, Case! Why couldn't you leave well enough alone, and never asked that!" (You notice that neither boy said a word about Korey being Larry's lover ... you have to give them both credit for not spilling those beans! ... right? RIGHT!) "It just slipped out! I just meant to say your name, Eaton. Korey's name just flew out before I thought! I'm so sorry! Joey ... can we forget I even asked that part? I can forget you said a word back, or got upset, or anything. Really I can! I have already ... you can trust me! Please don't stop bein' our scout leader and trainer." Both boys went to Joey's side and tried to comfort him and settle him down. It took a while, but Joey collected his cool, and told the boys to get back in bed ... and that he'd join them again in a little while. Then he went into the bathroom to splash water in his face and gather back his composure. When he returned to the bed, he was wearing boxers, and he lay on the outside, with Eaton in the middle, and Case on the other side ... all three on their backs, staring at the ceiling until they dozed off for the night. Being awakened in the morning by a call from the hotel desk as a courtesy, Joey found the boys on either side of him, cuddling close, both having morning wood against his legs. He gently began to wake them, and somehow figured they wanted to hear that he forgave them for causing such a turmoil the night before. As he looked in each pair of eyes, and read the heart behind the stares, he melted ... "Case? Just so you know ... I realize you didn't mean to hurt me last night. I guess I can forgive you, as long as what was said stays between just us three." " `Matt', I told ya last night that I'd forget all about what you answered ... so yeah, that's alright with me!" (... and a hug between them calmed the air). "Now, Eaton ... You got pretty upset with Case last night over all this, so if you'll tell him you're sorry for exploding ... I'll make sure I don't quit being the scout instructor you both seem to want me to be." Eaton did as he was asked, and then planted a kiss on Joey's mouth that proved that the agreement was sealed and delivered for all three of them at that very moment. Then, as the two brothers used the bathroom together ... "Case ... you gotta promise me one thing ... that you will never tell Kor that we know about him doing anything with Joey ... besides, Joey didn't come out and admit nuthin' ... so just promise me!" "Yeah ... I promise. I won't let anything spill out, even by accident. Dang ... I just figured out that if Dad ever found out, he and Kor might have a real blow-up or sumethin'. I sure wouldn't wanna cause that to happen! If I even get close to sayin' sumthin', you can kick my ass, Eaton ... before anything happens!" "I just figured out something else, too, Bro ... I bet Joey don't know that Korey's lover is Dad, either. In fact I bet that Joey actually thinks that Kor's partner is a girl! Otherwise, I think either Dad's teaching position would be a target of jealousy or maybe Joey would have already quit bein' trained as Dad's helper for next year! See how important it is to keep the secret?" "Yeah! Oh yeah! We gotta protect Dad for sure! We gotta protect all of `em, or our lives would be shit before we know it. I can do that, Eaton ... I know I can ...and I will, I promise!" No sooner than that being said, Joey opened the door and reminded the boys that breakfast was in 10 minutes, and right after everyone ate, there was only about 30 minutes to pack and board the bus for Yosemite. I guess that some of Larry's acting ability seemed to already rub off on the boys, because in spite of the tension of the previous night, everything at the breakfast table felt normal. Maybe the Good Lord assisted in cover-up as well, who knows! Whatever ... all went well without anyone questioning or suspicioning someone else's reactions, which was both a blessing and a relief as far as the boys were concerned. Case and Eaton sat in the seats opposite Larry in the front row across the Greyhound bus, with Joey and Kor sitting in the very back, as if they were involved in discussion regarding more training (as far as the other students figured, anyway). Because most of the band members had headphones on, listening to IPOD's and whatever other players they brought with them, no one paid any attention to what was being shared between the two student leaders... "God, Kor ... I'm about to fall apart! I want you so badly, but I feel like I'd be the cause of you and your girl splittin', and that's not the way I want to get you for myself! Help me, Man!" "Look, Joey ... I already told you that it won't be your fault if my partner and I call it quits. I don't want that to happen, for sure! But ... if I said I didn't want to be close to you too, I'd be lyin'. Maybe I jumped into a commitment too soon... I dunno! Yes, I'm 18 and can choose whatever I want now. But I really don't know which arrangement would last forever! Maybe if you and I sort'a like ... uh ... kept ourselves secret a while and explored all our possibilities ... uh ... maybe then I could be sure! The only unfair part is that even though you'd know about my other situation, I could never tell that person ... `cause then, I would never be certain. Does that make sense?" "If we do that, Kor ... and if that's the only way I get to keep you ... then OK! I don't want to feel like second choice, though! If you and I do this, you have to treat me as if neither of us knows there's a triangle! When you're with me, it's just us ...clear?" "Does that mean you give up training scouts?" "If you decide to stay with me and drop your other commitment, then I'll quit the scout leadership ... that way we both have incentives to help make the decision." "I'll agree to that! But, Joey? Don't tell your scouts about us, either. I sure won't tell my partner ... so we'd be on the same page all around ...OK?" "Deal! Tonight in the room, I'll probably have us seal the deal! I can hardly wait!" As soon as that was said, Kor took out a pad of grid sheets, and began to show Joey how to construct a band show for football season, just in case anyone else wondered if the two were really training ... not that there was any suspicion in the first place, but it's smart to be safe! It didn't take too long before Case skipped down the aisle of the bus to use the restroom in the rear. After he accomplished his duty, he stopped to chat with Kor and Joey ... "What kind of park wildlife we gonna start studyin', "Matt"? "Well, Squirt, I haven't really decided yet, but this is Spring, and lot's of wild things do what nature intended ... so we might see anything happen." "Think I can use my new camera to get some of it on film ... uh, for the merit badge?" "Uh ... Case, ... documentation of live action isn't really necessary to prove things ... my signature on the achievement record is sufficient for you to earn your goal. Besides, a camera might make the wild life involved too nervous to perform naturally. Get my meaning?" (Giggles ...) "Yeah, Matt, I sure do!" With that, Case headed back to his seat, still snickering about all the double meanings he did understand from the conversation. When he reached Korey, he retold the discussion, word for word, and both boys started laughing. Larry figured they were just being boys, so he didn't even ask what was so funny. However, in the back of the bus again ... "Shit, Joey ... did you just tell Case what I think you did?" "Sure I did! I'm still the scout trainer, right! Besides, that little horn toad is as hot as a fire cracker, and if I don't give him what he wants, and keep Eaton happy besides, my goose might be cooked before you and I get things settled. We don't want that, now ... do we!" "G.D.S of a... this is getting way too deep for me to even think about right now! If I felt like you wanted the kids more than you wanted me ... I'd ... I'd ... oh, fuckin' shit ... I don't know ... I just don't know! I'm gonna take a nap! Later, Joey!" Kor sank down in his seat, leaned the back down as far as it would go, and turned his head toward the window to grab some Z's, if he could. Joey remained awake and sitting up, but his leg was pressed against Kor's hip as Joey stared out the window at the sites zooming past. A few minutes later, Eaton needed to drain his bladder, and aimed his steps toward the lavatory corner of the bus. As he came to where Joey was staring out the window, Eaton noticed Joey's leg position, and the fact that his hand was gently resting on Kor's thigh at the same time. Being as experienced as he is, at the age of 12, he realized that there was surely something going on between the two older guys. So he interrupted Joey's concentration ... "Psst ... Joey!" "UH...huh? Oh, Eaton ..'sup, Man?" "I was gonna ask you the same thing, Joey. Looks like you're enjoying how close you're sitting next to Korey, there. Uh ... you guys got somethin' goin' between ya, or what?" "Where'd the hell you get that idea? He's resting, and I'm just...lookin' at the scenery, Dude! Talk like that can give people the wrong idea!" "No one else is listening! You got your leg pressed against Korey, and your hand almost in his lap! And that tent in your pants isn't because you're too far away from the commode to drain. What the heck am I supposed to think? Kor's my friend, Man ... and so are you." "SSSSSHhhhhhhhh...please! I didn't realize I was doin' that ... and besides, he's asleep. He doesn't have any idea! God ... you want me busted, and lose my scouting job? I thought we had something going ... you and me, Sport ... and Casey too! Want that all to end? I figured you craved things as bad as I do; `specially since you taught Casey everything. Am I wrong about you, Eaton?" "Naw ... I do want it, bad! So bad that I got Case interested enough to keep things satisfied when you weren't around to help. But, shit, Joey ... with Korey too? He's an adult! Can't he get busted if anyone thinks he's doin' stuff with you? You're not an adult yet ... remember! Like I said, he's my friend, and I don't want him hurt! Got that?" "Yeah ... but you better get this ... nothin's goin' on! Not with him, not with you and Case ... not with anyone! It's got to stay that way! I thought you knew that! I trusted you so far. Do I need to change my mind about you?" "Uh ... no ... no you don't, Joey! I promised you, and I keep my promises. But if you want me to be happy with it all, just don't hurt Korey. It's got to stay that way, too!" "I promise not to ever do anything with Korey that he won't appreciate. Good enough?" "I guess so! Kor's pretty smart! He wouldn't do anything to wreck his own future. Uh ... Case and I will see ya at the Awanee, later!" Eaton finished his drainage project and went back to his seat. He slumped down, pouting as he fell deep into thought. Casey saw that Eaton seemed depressed all of a sudden, and tried to find out why. However, Eaton just told him that he was tired, and hoped we'd all be at the hotel soon ... so he could get some rest. Case tilted his head to the side, trying to read between the lines, but figured this wasn't the time to ask ... so he settled back into his own seat and watched all the huge trees that were coming into view. He looked toward Larry, and asked if these were the Sequoias he'd heard about in class at school ... to which Larry answered a yes, and mentioned that the camera could record the fact that Case saw them ... for extra credit on the report due next week. So, Case began taking pictures of all he saw as the bus neared the Wawona Tunnel to view the valley floor of the park from above. By now, the entire busload of kids was wide awake and everyone was taking in the beauty of the entire panorama from El Capitan on one side of the valley to Bridal Veil Falls on the other, Half Dome between the two, and everything in between. Many had never seen it before, so sounds of OOOHHH's and AAAAHHHH's filled the bus. The driver stopped in the turn-out area just past the tunnel to allow everyone a few minutes to take pictures and read the descriptive panels pointing out all the highlights of the park. Korey woke up and joined all the rest of the students outside, and the splendor of what he was seeing washed away his deep thoughts. Eaton noticed this, and took Korey aside for just a couple minutes... "Uh ...Kor? Can I just say something? ... and if it's inappropriate, I'll shut up and leave you alone." "What do you mean inappropriate, Eaton. Nothing you can ask or say would be out of place. I love you, Man and whatever you say is important to me." "Well then ... I just hope that Joey isn't gonna try to hurt you! Please don't do anything you don't wanna do, OK? I mean ... it's cool you're friends and all, but ... uh ... just follow your heart, not your cock ... for me and Casey as well as Larry... Please! " "Oh, Eaton ... Eaton ... I ought to get mad for what you're thinking, but ... I just can't be! I gotta give you credit for being so astute and willing to share your thoughts with me freely. How did you ... never mind ... if it shows that much, I have to get it together. Thanks, Eaton, for caring so much! Dang, I love you, Son!" Everyone piles back on the bus, and it's on to the valley floor and the Awanee Hotel. As the bus drove up the two-laned road to the hotel entrance, and under the portico, eyes were wide and mouths were hanging open from disbelief as to the housing given them as a thank-you by the Governor. Purely splendid! Magnificent! OMG, unbelievable! ... all comments heard throughout the crowd of kids. Then as they all unloaded and headed inside ... for most, it seemed like entering OZ or at least a huge movie set. The multi-story balconied lobby constructed of trees and natural rocks took kids' breaths away. And then, the overwhelmingly gorgeous views from the glassed dining room simply added the icing to the cake ... a fantastic trip back in time to a previous society and lifestyle of the rich and famous being experienced by today's kids ... a real addition to educational growth, for sure! Room assignments were given out, and it was off to explore the rest of the accommodations freely ... with the exception of Larry, who was asked by the Hotel Manager to meet with him in his office for a few moments. The subject? Two-fold; First, the obvious! 130 kids roaming such a palatial facility ... and second, an idea to consider ... a concert on the outdoor grounds for the pleasure of the other guests of the hotel and the park as well. Larry explained the reputation of his students, and the fact that there were numerous adult chaperones assigned to make sure the reputation was not marred. This settled the Manager's worries quickly ... even though other youth groups of the past had not been such a positive experience. As for the concert, Larry discussed the fact that they had done their program assignment, and this was to be a free-time thank-you from the Governor for the kids to relax and enjoy the time in the park. But he added that he would ask if they'd be willing, and go with whatever the kids chose to do. The Manager agreed and approved of Larry's consideration for his students' feelings. Dinner at the Awanee has a policy that requires evening dress ... not formal wear, but at least coat and tie, or dresses. We all know that these students had not considered packing this attire for the original venue of Colombia. So, Korey suggested that they wear their concert uniform without the overlay ... which gave an appearance of tuxedo style dress in forest green. The students thought that was a great solution, especially because they were so impressed with the surroundings in the first place. They wanted to fit in and feel like high society of the olden days. So at the 7:00 seating, the entire band arrived ready to enjoy a real `night out'. Of course, the staff was drawn into the mood, and gave the group special treatment ... especially since they were invited guests of the Governor ... as management had emphasized quite clearly behind the scene. It became almost an affair of state as the evening progressed. Larry took advantage of the spirit of the occasion to make his presentation of the concert question. The answer was unanimous ... It'd be cool! Let's do it! One hour won't hurt our free time! So the concert was scheduled for 2:00 PM the next afternoon, and it was publicized all over the valley that all were welcome to attend. To end the evening activities, the Park Rangers presented a multi-media program about park history, wildlife, and geological highlights that would boost any school curriculum ... and by then it was obvious that these tired youth were ready for bed, and willing to head that way voluntarily and quietly. Korey and Joey arrived at their room and undressed to shower off the day's travel. Both young men seemed calm and relaxed as they anticipated what was to follow as far as plans had been agreed upon. The natural materials of the walls and furniture gave the atmosphere a manly strength and tone. The added Native American motif in tapestries, bed spread, and towels added a romantic flavor to the mix. The over-all impression of the room had the ability to make romance bloom with the right people staying the night there. Both guys made their way to the bed and crawled into the satin sheets side- by-side. They mutually began to share with the other a romantic beginning to what they hoped would be a night to remember. Oh, it was...for sure! But not the memory they had planned. After at least a half-hour of passionate kissing, hugging, cuddling, and things that would ordinarily create a sizzling pair of horny males, only Joey was able to keep erect. Korey kept deflating every few minutes ... trying his best to get to the point of no return, but experiencing dysfunction to the max. ... "Dang, Kor ... I'm about to explode, or my dick will fall off if it doesn't get to fuck you pretty soon ... and you're as soft as a wilted lily! What's wrong, Man?" "Shit, Joey ... I want you, I need you ... I want your cock up my ass ... I'm so horny ... especially since me and my lover haven't been together in over a week. God ... I don't know! I wish I did! Maybe if you fuck the shit out'a me and make me blow my blue balls to the moon, I'll get over this ... this ...disappointing whatever!" "You don't have to ask me twice, Pal! I can hardly wait to get inside that gorgeous hot cave and shoot my juices clear into your stomach if I can. I've wanted you that way for so long! Maybe if I tease that special spot in you enough, you'll get as desperate as me to sex me back. I fuckin' hope so! I want us to work out so well together. I sure as hell want to feel your cock up me, too!" "Then get me prepped back there, and get busy! I'll lay on my side and you take me for all I'm worth! I'm not ready for love, Man ... I'm ready to be fucked out'a my friggin mind! Do it!" That's all Joey needed to hear ... permission to go crazy with passion to take this 2-year dream into reality. He began the processing by eating out Kor's ass as if he'd been starved for a week and needed the raw meat to stay alive. Kor's body was working well enough in response to this sexual stimulation ... but his emotions didn't kick in to prove his enjoyment of it all. In fact, it seemed like Kor was just a manikin designed to allow Joey to get his rocks off. No moans, no gasps, no anything to encourage more than just sex for the purpose of blowin' a nut! Joey was involved enough physically that he was coming quite close to his point of no return as far as orgasm was concerned, when Korey yelled out ... "Stop! Stop! Damn it...I can't do this! I'm so fuckin' sorry, Joey! It's not you ... it's me! I just can't!" Joey was so surprised with what he heard that he softened completely and instantly fell out of Kor's backside ... "My God, Kor ... what's wrong? Did I hurt you? I didn't mean to ... honest. I thought you wanted this as much as I did! What the fuck is wrong?" "I hope you'll understand, Joey. It's not you! My brain is about to explode! I have a lover! I made a commitment! I'm the one that's tearing myself up over this! I so wanted to make you happy too! I really did! I've had the hots for you as bad as you have for me! I admit it! I thought I could enjoy us sharing a secret and still not hurt my partner ... but I can't live this way in my head. Eaton said something to me earlier today ... that I had to follow my heart, and not my cock! Damn little kid ... he was totally right on! You and I lust each other, Joey ... but I love my partner, and that does make a difference ...all the difference. I am so fuckin' sorry, I wanted us to work out too. But my heart just won't allow me to have a desired affair along side my true relationship. Please try to understand. Please help me through this. Don't abandon me as a friend!" "FUUUUUCKKKKKKK! SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT! DAAAAAAAAAAMNNNN! Kooooyyyyyyyyy! You know what you're asking?" ( Moments of silence, and then ...) Uh ... Yes I guess you do! *************************************** End of Chapter Twelve
