"Not what I thought escape meant"
Chapter 91

Life seemed to get back to it's hectic fall pace.  Trying to get all the
crops in and prepare for the winter months seemed to take all of the energy
that every one had.  Max seemed to be unscathed by the courthouse event.
Zeb and Carl on the other hand were not quite back to normal.  Carl's issue
was that it had not bothered Max any more than it had.   Plus he could not
shake the fear of loosing Max that had overwhelmed him that day.  He would
question Max sometimes but the only answer he would get was.  " Baby there
are things in this life to worry about and others you consider it's source
and let it go.  He is not even worthy of the time it takes to think about
him." Max would say.

Where Zeb was concerned Joe had not pushed the issue too hard but he was
able to find out over a period of a few days what had sent Zeb over the
edge.  Zeb was reluctant to talk about it because it involved a former
relationship and lover.  "Yesterday is just that Zeb.  I have a past and so
do you.  Our pasts have made us the men we are today.  You can talk about
anything in your past at anytime.  The only thing I could not take would be
for you to tell me that you are still in love with them more than you are
with me." Joe would say.  After about the third time Joe said that Zeb
finally relaxed realizing that Joe meant it and would not kick him out.

"Alright you two squirts.  Get back here." Carl called out as he chased two
naked twins out of the master bedroom.  "What are you three doing ?" Max
asked laughing as he watched from the kitchen.  "A little help here." Carl
said.  "Oh no.  I asked what I could do and you said I got this." Max
laughed.  He felt his groin twitch as he watched the most gorgeous man in
the world to him chase after the naked twins while still naked and wet
himself with his cock and low hanging balls bouncing around.  The twins had
spent the night with Carl and Max.  Ross and Landon were having their first
cook out at their new house and making it a welcome back party for Durk and
B.  Max was making a dessert to carry so Carl had volunteered to take the
twins into the shower with him.  Shane ran and hid behind Max holding onto
his leg.  Shawn on the other hand ran up the stairs.  Carl walked towards
Max.  "Where did Shane go ?" Carl said and winked.  "I don't know.  I
haven't seen him." Max said.  Neither twin was good at hide and go seek.
Shane's giggles and laughter could be heard all over the room.  Carl walked
up to Max and wrapped his arms around him and leaned in for a kiss.

"Where could that little rug rat be ?" Carl said causing Shane to giggle
again.  Carl ground his crotch into Max's shorts.  Max could feel Shane's
head against his ass so he knew he could not see so he reached down and
wrapped his hand around Carl's flaccid cock.  "Careful there baby.  We have
company." Carl said.  Carl's cock pulsed in Max's hand.  "Just checking
your pulse baby.  That's all. " Max whispered.  "If you do that again you
may see just how hard my heart pumps." Carl whispered.  About that time
Shane shot out to the side of Max trying to run away.  In one quick move
Carl reached out and scooped him up.  "Gotcha." Carl laughed as Shane
squealed.  Throwing Shane over his shoulder so that Shane's head was
looking behind them and his little bare butt was up in the air as Carl
headed for the stairs.  "One down, Five to go." Carl said.  "Five ?" Max
said.  "Feels like it." Carl laughed as he started up the steps.
"DDaaammmnnnn." Max thought as he saw Carl going up the stairs.  The most
beautiful male ass that God had created and with Carl's cowboy stride on
the stairs he could see Carl's low hanging balls appear and then
disappear.  "Whew." Max said as he fanned himself.

Ty stepped into the spray of the shower.  Rinsing himself he turned around
to see what was taking Brian so long.  "What are you doing ?" Ty laughed.
"Just admiring the view and thinking about what I plan to do to that view
in just a few minutes." Brian said.  Brian had leaned back against the
vanity and was slowly jacking his now hard cock.  "Well you keep that up
and there will be none left for me." Ty said as he ducted his head under
the shower spray.  "Oh you don't have to worry about that sexy man.  There
is plenty for you too." Brian said.   "I guess I have to wash myself." Ty
said.  "Is that an invitation ?" Brian asked.  "Nah,  I'm fine." Ty said.
"Oh you are, are you.  We will see about that." Brian said as he released
his cock and walked into the shower.  Turning Ty towards him he pulled his
body tight to his.  "It's my job to make sure you are squeaky clean." Brian
whispered into Ty ear.  "That's all ?" Ty whispered.  "Well squeaky clean
and well fucked." Brian whispered.  "That's more like it." Ty said pulling
his head back for a deep sensual kiss.

Ty slowly pushed Brian back against the shower wall while they were still
kissing.  Lifting one leg he placed it on the seat in the shower.  Grinding
his growing cock into Brian hip Ty quickly gasp and his eyes shot wide
open.  Brian had reached around and using the shower gel on Ty's back he
had slicked up two fingers and quickly slid them inside Ty's ass.  "Did I
find my baby's honey hole ?" Brian whispered.  Ty's body twitched and he
barely mumbled "Um hum." as Brian twisted his two fingers inside his
lover's ass.  Ty caught his breath and placed one hand on Brian's chest.
Pushing away from Brian he let out a low moan as Brian's fingers fell from
his ass with a small slurping sound.  "Damn baby.  You must be horny to
have that much suction." Brian whispered.  "Don't worry.  You will be
testing that suction with this in just a minute." Ty said as he sunk to his
knees and took Brian's cock into his mouth and down his throat in one
motion.  "Ffffuuuuccckkkkk." Brian moaned.  Ty moved slowly up and down
Brian's cock.  "Too much of that babe and I won't last to fuck you." Brian
said.  Ty pulled back and wrapped his hand around Brian's cock.  "I thought
you had plenty for me." Ty said smiling.

Brian reached down and pulled Ty to his feet.  Moving so that Ty's back was
against the wall Brian lifted Ty even higher.  Ty wrapped his legs around
Brian's waist as Brian slowly slid Ty's wet body against the tile down onto
his raging cock.  Ty gasp for breath and buried his face in Brian's neck as
his body sank down onto Brian's cock.  "Is that better baby ?" Brian
whispered.  "Better, but I want it hard." Ty said.  "It is hard, don't you
feel it ?" Brian questioned.  Ty used Brian's shoulders to lift himself as
far as he could and slam himself back down on Brian's cock.  "Oh I see."
Brian said as Ty squealed.  Brian held Ty tightly against the wall as he
lowered his hips and then slammed his cock back up into Ty as hard and fast
as he could.  Waiting for Ty to stop squirming from desire Brian would then
repeat the act.  Ty's orgasm was getting close and Brian stepped back
taking Ty's back away from the wall trying to maintain his balance.  The
more Ty squirmed on his cock the less sure he was of his footage.  Quickly
turning Brian  sat down on the seat in the shower which caused a quick push
of his cock deeper into Ty than it had been during this session.
"SSShhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiittttttttt." Ty screamed as he threw his head back
and his body began to shake.  Brian could feel Ty's cock flex and then feel
the warm seed splatter on his stomach and chest as Ty strained to drain his
balls.  Not even realizing it the thought and feel of what was happening
caused Brian to go over the edge.  "FFfffuuuuucckkk  bbbaaabbeee....  Take
my baby batter." Brian growled as his cock strained and flexed inside Ty
releasing his load as deep as possible.

Finally clean and still glowing from their session in the shower Brian and
Ty lay naked on the bed.  Ty lay on his side with his head on Brian's chest
slowly running his fingers through the hair on Brian's chest, down to his
hairy navel, on down to his resting cock and then back up.  "What are you
thinking about ?" Brian asked as he ran his fingers through Ty's hair.  "I
am not sure about a new house." Ty said.  "Why not ?" Brian asked.  "We are
fine here." Ty said.  "Well Uncle Carl and Uncle Max offered." Brian said.
"I know they did but I don't want them to do that.  I think a lot of it is
because they don't want us to be jealous of Ross and Landon." Ty said.  "I
don't really think so.  I know my Uncle Max and he has always been one that
if one got something, all did.  Besides they said this would be perfect for
the office since the ranch has grown so much." Brian said.  "They have
plenty of room in the barn for an office." Ty said.  "That will never
happen.  Not after Uncle Carl took the bulldozer and tore the old office
down with everything in it." Brian said.  "I guess you are right." Ty
said.  "Besides Uncle Max has told us many times that you have to separate
home life from work.  He always did that in Georgia.  Even when he did not
need it he always kept an office away from the house.  He says work is work
but home is just that.  Home and family." Brian said.  "Well I love the
house plans and the site.  I just don't want them to do this thinking we
are jealous.  You aren't jealous are you ?" Ty said.  "Not at all.  I am
happy and proud for them." Brian said.

"Ah fuck baby. You are always so tight." Ross whispered in Landon's ear.
Landon had been in the kitchen cleaning up after preparing the meat to
cook.  Ross had walked up behind him and after a few minutes of rubbing his
crotch into Landon's ass he had reached down and lowered Landon's shorts
and his.  Now he was rocking back and forth pushing his cock in and out of
Landon's ass as Landon held onto the kitchen counter.  "Faster babe
faster.  I am about to
ccccuuuuuummm.....uuugggghhhh.....sssshhhiiiiitttt.." Landon shouted as he
pushed his body back into Ross and unloaded in to Ross' hand.
"GGGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."  Ross growled as he placed his forehead on Ross'
shoulder and his body jerked as his cock flexed and unloaded deep inside
Ross.  "Damn stitch I don't know that I can wait until they leave tonight
for more of you." Ross said flexing his softening cock still inside Ross.
"I have three loads in me today.  One by mouth and two in my ass.  I will
have to be satisfied until they leave too." Landon said.  "Shit.  Here
comes somebody." Ross said as he slowly slid his softening cock out of
Ross' ass.  Ross handed him a wet wash cloth which Ross quickly wiped
Landon's ass and then his cock before quickly pulling their shorts back up.

"We have arrived." B shouted as he, Durk, the farmer and his wife came
through the front door.  "In the kitchen." Ross shouted.  "Sniff .. sniff..
sniff. Something smells absolutely scrumptious." B said.  "We haven't
started cooking anything yet." Landon said.  "Oh no.  I smell some recent
hot man on man action.  I will take a little of what you just deposited in
Landon on my burger." B said causing both Ross and Landon to blush.  "You
can smell that ?" Ross asked.  "Sweet cheeks.  I may be old and I may have
wrinkles but I can smell good sex a hundred yards off." B said.  "Is he
kidding Uncle Durk ?" Ross asked.  "Never known him to be wrong." Durk
laughed.  All of the group traded hugs including the farmer.  Hand shakes
used to be his limit but he had mellowed and was ready to hug almost
anyone.  "Best smell in the world." B said taking a deep breath and
moaning.  "You act like it has been a lifetime since you smelled that."
Durk laughed.  "Well breakfast was a long time ago." B said and winked.
"Come on in and have a seat.  We still haven't done much furniture
shopping." Ross said.  "Oh no fear darlin'.  Uncle B has that handled.  I
just need your sexy husband for a day." B said.  "We can buy it ourselves a
little at a time." Ross said.  "Like I said.  Just one day." B said and
snapped his fingers.

The guests had arrived except for Flo and her date.  Everyone mingled and
talked.  "How are you doing Durk ?" Joe asked.  "Feel better than I have in
a long time." Durk said.  "Yeah I felt sorry for the old thing and gave him
a little this morning." B chimed in.  "Yes you did honey." Durk said
winking at B.  "Back to the subject.  How are you ?" Joe said laughing.
"Hey wait.  When it comes to him.  I am the subject." B said swatting his
hand at Joe before heading back to the kitchen.  "What did the doctor say
?" Daryl asked.  "The pacemaker is working great.  He said the threat of
another heart attack is slim.  The treatments that Max's friend has been
doing ssems to be working.  They had thought that they could only slow down
the progression of the cancer but it seems to have reversed it some." Durk
said.  "That's wonderful." Joe said.  "I hope your stress level is lower."
Carl said.  "My kids are going nuts but I have no idea what they are
doing.  B handles all of that and I have learned not to even ask." Durk
said.  "No need in asking because it's non of your business." B said from
the kitchen.  "Damn he hears everything." Daryl whispered.  "I heard that."
B shouted back causing the entire room to laugh.

Mary, Flo, Max and Landon worked in the kitchen preparing the salads,
potato salad and baked beans.  "I love your house Landon." Mary said.
"Thank you.  We love it too.  We just haven't really gotten settled yet."
Landon said.  "Well from the glow on your face at least you have christened
parts of it." Flo laughed.  "Flo." Mary said.  "Honey we all get us some.
Well at least I hope Daryl still gives it up." Flo said.  About that time
Max tightened his shoulders up as Flo popped her gum.  They all stopped for
a moment as they watched Ty, Brian and Ross chase the twins across the back
yard.  "Two little boys and it takes three men." Mary laughed.  "You mean
five.  You just missed Mitch and Artie running after them." Max laughed.

It was a beautiful day outside and tables had been set up under one of the
huge oak trees left when the lot was cleared for the house.  Ross stood and
asked for everyone's attention.  "Stitch and I would like to thank all of
you for coming.  We would like to welcome you to our new home.  A year ago
neither of us ever imagined that we would have found each other much less
have this huge family and a new home.  We could never thank you all enough
nor repay you for everything you have done for us.  We are eternally
grateful.  We just want you to know how grateful we are for each and
everyone here today.  I would like to ask Uncle Durk to bless the food."
Ross said as he choked up.  Brian realized that some had looked his way
during Ross' speech.  As soon as the blessing was finished Brian stood
quickly.  "Before we eat I would like to say something.  Ross you are the
brother I never had.  Landon you are the brother in law I never thought I
would have.  We love you both and I could not be happier for both of you.
I would say welcome to the family but that would be a little late.  So I
will say that I love you both and am so happy that you are part of my
family.  Oh and remember I said this when you want to put up a gate on the
path to stop those two monsters from visiting." Brian laughed looking
towards the twins.  "No gates. Never." Landon said with tears in his eyes.

All of the food was a hit.  Carl closed his eyes and moaned as he put the
second bite of Max's red velvet cake in his mouth.  "Which cake mix did you
use for this ?" Flo asked.  "Cake mix hell.  My sweetie does it from
scratch." Carl said.  "I need to come over for lessons." Zeb said.  "I got
no complaints." Joe said.  "Yeah it looks like you fill those jeans out a
little tighter." Mary laughed.  "Oh well they do get tighter when I see
Zeb." Joe laughed.  "You pervert." Mary laughed.  "I don't think he is
gaining weight off my cooking." Zeb laughed.  "Well he has filled out a
little off some ones cooking." Carl said.  "Look who's talking." Carl
said.  "Well I am happy with the extra." Max said.  "Me too.  I like a
little meat on the bones." Zeb said.  "Did I hear somebody say extra meat
and boners ?" B said as he entered the room.  "Ah hell." Carl said and
laughed.

The meal was finished and Mitch, Landon and Ty were cleaning up the rest of
the dishes.  "Are you feeling better Zeb ?" Daryl asked.  "Getting there.
I am sorry for the way I acted." Zeb said.  "Never say you are sorry for
anything like that.  You are family.  We are all here for you." Mary said.
"Joe has helped a lot.  He may look like a tough cowboy but he is an
amazingly loving man." Zeb said.  "He has to be.  He is kin to me." Carl
said smiling.  "I just hope that you were able to work through things and
you are comfortable and plan to stay." Daryl said.  Zeb looked at Joe and
stared into his eyes.  After a second or two Joe smiled.  "It's up to you
cowboy.  Do this in your own time just like you did with me." Joe said
reaching over and squeezing Zeb's leg.  "Will you ?" Zeb said.  "Are you
sure ?" Joe asked.  "I had rather you do it.  I can't." Zeb said.  "Do what
?" B was getting impatient.  "Watch it there nosey." Flo said.  "Hey I have
an inquiring mind and I want to know." B said.  Zeb got up and headed
towards the kitchen.  "Zeb." Joe called out.  Zeb turned and faced the
others in the room.  "I have asked Joe to tell you what made me freak out
on everyone.  I can't tell it and I can't listen so I trust him to tell
it." Zeb said.  "We can wait until you are ready.  It's your story." Max
said.  "I appreciate that but I had rather Joe tell you and get it over
with so we can move on.  I just can't face you all while he tells it." Zeb
said as he turned the corner.

Joe felt like he was on the red carpet.  All eyes were on him and the room
was silent.  "I will start out by saying this.  If anyone says anything to
Zeb out of line after I tell you this I will personally beat your ass to a
pulp." Joe said.  "Joe.  We love Zeb.  He is family.  No one would dare say
anything." Max said in a firm voice that seemed to echo through the room.
Joe began the story that Zeb had told him.

Zeb had opened up and told Joe that when he was in his early twenties that
he had fallen in love with a man.  The man seemed to just toy with him.  He
told Zeb later that he had always known that Zeb had loved him but he was
too immature to realize what it meant.  Zeb did everything in the world for
this friend as he watched him jump from bed to bed with a different man and
even sometimes a woman every night.  This went on for seven years.  Joe
said that Zeb cried himself to sleep almost every night knowing the man he
loved was in the next room in the bed making love to someone else.  On his
friends twenty fifth birthday Zeb had planned a small party for just them.
He had cooked a fantastic meal and made a birthday cake.  He finally went
to bed at midnight still not hearing anything from his friend.  He went on
to say that at two in the morning his friend finally came home drunk.  The
next thing he knew his friend was naked and in the bed with him kissing him
all over and telling him he loved him while trying to get his cock inside
Zeb.

Zeb said that his friend made love to him and even fell asleep on top of
him.  His fear was that they would wake the next morning and his friend
would freak out and never speak to him again.  To his surprise his friend
woke him kissing his neck.  The friend finally admitted that he had been in
love with Zeb as long as Zeb had loved him but he thought that Zeb would
get jealous enough to finally say it out loud.  For the next year Zeb said
that he was in complete heaven.  He and his friend made love every night
and had made long term plans for their future.  Zeb was not close to his
family but when his friend told his family about Zeb they forbid Zeb to
come on their property.  Their one year anniversary would also be the guys
twenty sixth birthday.  They had both taken the day off.  Zeb had planned a
huge in door picnic to have in front of the fireplace for supper.  His
friend had to go to the courthouse to get a copy of his birth certificate
to get his license renewed.  When he left Zeb told him to hurry back
because he had a couple of surprises in store for him to celebrate their
anniversary and his birthday.

Zeb said his friend called from a pay phone and asked if he had enough time
to get a haircut.  He was getting his birth certificate, stopping for a
quick haircut and then going for his license.  He would be back as soon as
possible.  Zeb said that hours rocked on and still no word from his
friend.  He left and went to the courthouse, the barber shop and the
license office.  He could not find his friend or his truck.  When he got
back home he looked in their emergency money sock drawer and found out some
money was missing.  It was not much because back then a full weeks paycheck
was under a hundred dollars.  Zeb said that he put all the food away and
left the gifts on the table.  He watched the clock all night thinking he
may have ran into friends and went out drinking.  Just after lunch the next
day Zeb finally got the courage to call his friend's parents.  When he told
them who he was and that he was worried about his friend they just hung the
phone up.

Zeb told Joe that he had tried to come to terms that he had done something
wrong and his friend had ran away.  Two days later he was setting on the
couch wrapped in a blanket still crying.  The television caught his
attention.  The news crew had filmed a funeral and the man's name was on
the bottom of the screen.  It was his friend.  He had heard that a man had
shot his wife but did not know any of the details.  The man had filed for
divorce from his wife.  They had a hearing that day with the judge.  The
man was upset at what the judge said he had to give his wife.  As they came
out of the courthouse the man pulled out a gun.  He shot his wife, her
lawyer, his daughter and two innocent by standers.  Only one did not
survive and it was a man setting in his pickup in front of the courthouse.
Zeb told Joe that he thought his life had just ended.  The next morning Zeb
heard a knock on the door.  It was a deputy.  He informed Zeb that they
were releasing the truck that the man was shot in and it was in Zeb's
name.  So they needed him to come down to the impound yard and claim the
truck.

Zeb told Joe that the deputy waited for him to change and follow him to the
yard.  Joe explained that you see in the movies where some one is walking
for only a few feet but it feels like a lifetime.  That was how Zeb felt.
When he got to the truck there was a bullet hole in the windshield.  The
seat and windows were covered in blood.  Zeb said he took in a deep breath
and looked in the cab.  Laying on the seat was a bouquet of wilted flowers
and a stuffed bear with blood on it holding a bag of Mary Jane candies.
Zeb's friend knew that was his favorite.  Zeb told Joe that he walked away
from the yard and never went back for the truck.  He admitted that he
finally donated the still wrapped gifts to charity years later when he was
packing to move to Durk's ranch.

"When he heard that the man had attacked someone at the courthouse and he
had not heard me it all came rushing back.  He told me he could not live
trough that again and he lost it." Joe said.  "Poor thing.  I wish I had
known." Brian said.  "None of us knew.  Plus you were worried about Ty."
Joe said.  "So why the part about he lied, he died ?" Daryl asked.  "The
last time he talked to his friend was on the phone.  He said his last words
were I love you and I will be home soon.  He never made it.  He lied.  He
didn't come home.  He died." Joe said.

By this point Max was on his feet and walked into the kitchen.  Zeb seemed
to be hiding in the corner.  Max pulled him to him and hugged him.  "I am
so sorry for what happened to you." Max said.  "I am so ashamed." Zeb
said.  "Never be ashamed.  We all have life's scars.  Some are visible some
are not.  Some of us have both.  The thing is we can let our past rule our
lives.  I had a similar situation except I didn't get that year and he is
still alive.  I had to face him to get Durk the help he needed.  That was
the hardest thing I have ever done in my life." Max said.  "Harder than
when you lived in Texas and what you went through ?" Zeb asked.  "Texas was
a walk in the park compared to that." Max said.  "So you do understand
then. " Zeb said.  "I can't say I felt the same pain but I do understand.
I guess I can say I am blessed that mine is still alive.  Neither is easy
to get over.  Always remember when you think of it that he did love you and
that his not returning was not his choice.  Mine had the choice." Max
said.  By this time Carl had his arms around both of them.  "You know I
love you Zeb.  My brother can be an asshole sometimes but over look that."
Carl said.  "Wait a minute." Joe said laughing which caused them all to
laugh.

Back in the living room Zeb sat on the love seat.  Joe had to make a quick
move as he began to set beside him.  The twins had not heard the story but
could see from across the room that their Uncle Zeb was not happy.  "Don't
quish me Unca Joe." Shane said as he had darted behind Joe and was setting
beside Zeb.  Joe had to buckle his knee and grab the arm rest to keep from
setting on the twin under him.  "Where did you come from ?" Joe laughed.
By this point Shawn was in Zeb's lap with his arm around Zeb's neck and
Shane had picked Zeb's arm up and slid his head almost in Zeb's arm pit and
pulled his arm around him.  "Looks like you got out maneuvered their big
Bro." Carl laughed.  "Lost out to two rug rats." Joe laughed.  "We not wats
Unca Joe." Shane said.  "You are rug rats." Joe laughed.  "Nuh uh." Shawn
said firmly.  "There is no woom for you Unca Joe.  Go set wif Unca Darwl."
Shane said.  "Yes sir." Joe said causing the whole room to laugh.

Joe went into the kitchen where Max was helping finish the clean up.  Flo,
Mary and the farmer's wife were at the table picking at the red velvet
cake.   "Thank you.  I knew if you heard his story that you could help."
Joe said as he walked up and hugged Max.  "He is stronger than you think.
I know what he was feeling and he is still here.  That tells me he is a
very strong man." Max said.  "Well I promised him that I would never go
back to the courthouse without him." Joe said.  "Well that's nuts." Flo
said.  "Uhmmm....Hmmmmm..." Max cleared his throat very loudly.  Flo felt
it rattle her to her bones.  Looking up at Max she quickly smiled.  "Well
if you do that then he can't fear the courthouse anymore." Flo said.  Still
staring at Max she popped her gum.

In the living room Brian shuttered.  "What's wrong ?" Ty asked.  "Not
sure.  Somebody just got it from Uncle Max.  Just looking around to make
sure it was not me." Brian said.  "What do you mean ?" Ty asked.  "Did you
hear that loud and long throat clearing from the kitchen ?" Brian said.
"Yes, why ?" Ty said.  "Well usually when I hear that from Uncle Max it's
time to duck." Brian said.  "Glad it wasn't me either." Ty said looking
around the room.
