1.

Edward could not believe how soon he'd found a job following his move to
London. He'd lived all his life up to that point at Blake Hall, the home of
Lord Roberts near Trowbridge, Wiltshire. His father was the estate manager
and both he and his mother had accepted their only son's sexuality without
question but when Lord Roberts asked him if he too was gay, having just
found out that Paul, his only son and heir was, Edward admitted he was too
so he was given the boot. Paul had taken Edward with him to London to stay
with him and his partner Tom at their apartment in Belsize Park. Paul was
nothing like his father and Edward thought the world of him.

When Paul took him to see Sam at the coffee shop in Soho, Edward knew
immediately that he not only wanted to work for Sam but wanted to get to
know him a lot more. Fortunately Sam felt the same way so it wasn't long
before they were lovers and Sam had invited Edward to move in with him. He
lived in the flat above the coffee shop which he managed on behalf of the
owner who seldom made an appearance. It suited Sam perfectly, especially
since he had to look after his younger brother. Sam was now twenty four and
Len, his brother was four years younger but suffered from brain damage
following a car accident.

Suddenly there was a crash and a coffee mug shattered on the floor. "You
fucking idiot" a customer shouted, "Are you stupid or something".

Edward looked over and saw a young guy shouting at Len. He rushed over to
where Len was standing looking at the broken shards on the floor. "Leave
him alone; I'm sure it was just an accident" Edward said harshly.

"It wasn't my fault" Len said, his lips trembling, "I didn't touch it; rule
number one, don't touch."

"It's okay Len; why don't you go and fetch a dustpan and brush so we can
sweep it up."

"You shouldn't allow retards like that in here" the customer shouted.

Edward's blood boiled. "If your car had been hit by a ten ton truck and
you'd watched both your parents being crushed to death, you'd probably be
like him so back off and get out" Edward shouted.

"Fuck, I'm so sorry mate, I didn't realise" the young guy exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, you should think before you open that stupid mouth of yours;
now get out so I can sweep this up."

The customer shrank back realising he'd over reacted. The mug was empty so
nothing had been lost and to be honest he wasn't too sure whether it was
the fault of the lad or not.

"Good for you love" a woman piped up once the other customer had left,
"people like that should be ashamed of themselves speaking to those less
fortunate; did he really see his parents die in a car crash?"

Edward said he had. Len had been sixteen when a ten ton truck had veered
across the road and hit the car his father was driving. It turned out that
the driver of the truck had been drinking and had fallen asleep at the
wheel. Edward's parents had died instantly but because he'd been in the
back of the car he'd survived somehow. But what it had done was cause a
mental shift in him. According to Sam, the doctors said afterwards that
because of the terrible image in Len's mind, it had shifted back several
years to when he was much younger and happy. As he grew physically, his
mind wouldn't move on because he was unconsciously afraid of living through
that terrible day again.

"Who can blame him; that's a terrible thing to happen to someone so
young". Edward nodded as he put a comforting arm round Len who'd now
returned with brush but no dustpan.

"I didn't touch it; rule number one, don't touch" Len said again.

"It's okay Len; I'm sure it was just an accident; now fetch me the dustpan
because I need that too don't I"

"Oh yeah, stupid me; I really am stupid aren't I"

"No you're not Len; accident prone at times but not stupid" Edward said
kindly to him as he gently kissed Len on the cheek. Len liked Edward. He
was his friend and he didn't have many of those. He'd also noticed that
ever since Edward had entered his brother's life, he was much happier. He
liked that too because before then Sam would often get irritated with him
when things like this happened. He knew there were three important rules he
had to remember; not touch, not wander off and not speak to strangers. He
did his best to remember them but at times he couldn't stop himself from
breaking one of them.

"You're very good with him" the woman commented when Len had trotted off
yet again to fetch the dustpan. "It must be difficult living with that kind
of disability". Edward explained that Len was Sam's younger brother and
that Sam managed the coffee shop. He'd popped out to the cash and carry to
fetch more provisions. "Well, Sam is a lucky guy to have someone like you
to look after his brother when he's out". Edward smiled; yes, Sam was lucky
but then so was he to have found a guy such as Sam who he loved to
bits. Sam had to take over the responsibility of looking after Len at the
age of twenty just when he wanted to have fun and find someone to love.

Instead of that he'd had to give up all those things and look after his
brother who he'd always loved. People often asked why he didn't put him
into a home where he could be looked after but he'd visited some of those
homes and having done so promised Len that he'd never abandon him. Sam
loved Len and he loved Sam so they would remain together for always even if
it meant that his own love life would never take off. When Edward came
along and he realised that for the first time in his life he'd found
someone who cares not just about him but also for Len, he knew he'd found
the man of his dreams.

Whilst Edward was clearing up the shards of broken pottery, Sam
returned. "Oh dear, what's Len been up to now?" he giggled. He was so used
to Len's accidents that he automatically assumed every accident was caused
by Len.

"I didn't touch it; rule number one, don't touch" Len said again. Sam
walked over to where Len was standing watching Edward sweep up and put his
arms round him.

"It's okay Len; I expect it was just an accident".

"That's what Edward said" Len replied and looked at his friend.

As he took his purchases to the back of the shop he thought to
himself. Life was difficult with Len but he'd promised to look after him
despite being told it would be a difficult task; he loved his brother and
nothing in the whole wide world would change his mind. When Edward came
along things had changed. He now had someone to share the load apart from
someone to love despite it being somewhat cramped in the small two bed flat
above the shop but they couldn't afford a bigger place so they'd have to
manage somehow.

Before that terrible day when both his parents died, he'd had little
experience of love. At the time he'd been studying for an English degree
but that immediately went by the board. His parents hadn't been poor but
they weren't rich either. They were a happy middle of the road couple who
enjoyed life and provided a happy home for their two sons. When Sam had
come out to them at the age of seventeen, they'd accepted his sexuality
without question. It was one of the few things he was thankful for; at
least they knew before they died but his love life took a nosedive once
they were gone. When Edward arrived on the scene he found he had a lot of
learning to do but fortunately so did Edward because he'd not had much
experience of that kind of thing before moving to London with Paul. He
often frequented the coffee shop, often with his partner Tom and he liked
him from the outset. When he arrived one day with Edward in tow and
explained that Edward was looking for a job, he nearly kissed Paul right
there and then. He assessed immediately that Edward would be perfect for
him, both as an assistant in the shop and as a bedfellow. He didn't jump
too far ahead as he wasn't sure if things would progress the way they had
but as he discussed the job with Edward he mentally stripped him, which he
was sure was not the right thing to do when interviewing a prospective
candidate.


The hours of the coffee shop were eight in the morning to six at night
Monday to Saturday inclusive. The owner didn't want to open for more hours
since he decided it wasn't worth employing extra staff. Two were sufficient
to manage things in his view, and Sam had to agree. He'd had a good
assistant for two or more years but suddenly the guy announced that he was
going abroad so that was that. He just hoped that Edward would last because
he needed him in more ways than one. Making love to Edward was out of this
world. In his eyes he was the sexiest guy on the planet. His lovemaking was
gentle but exciting. Just thinking about it caused him to go hard, which
wasn't a good idea because if Len noticed he'd blurt something out causing
embarrassment. Despite his mental age only being around twelve, he seemed
to notice erections bulging Sam's jeans and Sam had noticed that he too had
a stiff every so often, especially when he woke in the morning so it seemed
his physical body was twenty years old but his mind was not. He often
wondered how life would pan out but now he had Edward he was sure
everything would be okay. Fortunately Len had been awarded a large sum in
compensation after the accident so that had been invested to provide an
income. In addition to that Sam had Len's disability allowance so with his
wage they could cope.

"Don't forget I'm going to Blake Hall tomorrow for the funeral of Lady
Roberts" Edward reminded Sam that evening whilst he was cooking the
meal. Edward had known Paul's mother all his life and liked her
immensely. He could never understand why a woman like her would marry a man
like Paul's father. They were as different as chalk from cheese. She knew
that Edward was gay and had accepted his sexuality as she had her son's. It
was just her husband who was a homophobe amongst other things.

"Sure you don't want me to close the shop and come with you" Sam asked.

"I don't see any point; you never met or knew her and it might upset Len if
he suddenly realises he's attending a funeral but thanks all the same my
love." The two clasped each other in their arms and kissed. "I love you so
much" Edward whispered into his lover's ear.

"And me you; you've changed my life; you know that don't you"

Edward nodded just as Len appeared. "Oh, oh, I've caught you kissing again"
Len giggled. He loved seeing his brother kiss his friend. He'd even peeped
into their bedroom at night and seen them making love.

"Come and join us" Edward smiled and held out his arm for Len. He ran over
to Edward like a two year old. He loved Edward's hugs and he liked sitting
on his lap which was what he did now. Edward leaned in and kissed him
gently on the side of the face which always made him blush. He turned to
Edward and kissed him back with a big wet one. He then leant over to his
brother and gave him one too.

"I am allowed to kiss aren't I" he asked suddenly looking worried.

"Of course you are; kissing shows someone that you love them" Sam explained
which made Len smile as he settled into Edward's shoulder like a small
child. Sam looked at Edward and felt a tear form in his eye. It was one of
joy as he realised yet again how lucky he'd been.

"I wonder what Paul will do with Blake Hall now" Edward pondered. Part of
him felt he'd like to return because as much as he liked London, Blake Hall
was something rather special but he doubted that would ever happen.


2.

The funeral was attended by more people than Paul expected. Martha, who'd
been the housekeeper at Blake Hall for most of Paul's life attended since
she'd also looked after Lady Roberts during the final part of her life. Tom
and Edward had joined Paul as had Simon, Tom and Paul's long term friend
who'd met Paul's mother when she'd visited London. Paul was also surprised
to see representatives from Roberts Bank, the family's private bank. It
seemed his mother had been thought of very highly which was more than he
could say for his father who'd died a few months previously.

"Anything you need, just let me know" the other partner in the business
told Paul when he took him to one side. Paul smiled and thanked him.

Various members of the estate also attended including Edward's parents who
were so pleased to see him. They wanted to hear all about his new job and
his boyfriend. Numerous other people attended the service most of whom Paul
didn't really know but they all told Paul what a wonderful woman his mother
had been and how much they'd miss her. They all referred to him as Lord
Roberts or my lord which Paul still had difficulty in getting used to.

Martha had put on a spread for those who'd been invited back to the house
after the service. Fortunately they'd only invited close friends, Edward's
parents and Charles, the other partner from the bank.

"Once you've got over the initial shock Paul perhaps you could come to the
bank so we can talk about the future. As you may know, your father left
most things to me as Chief Executive and the board but your mother took a
keen interest in the bank so we hope you will too." Being told this made
Paul feel he couldn't talk about selling the bank so he said he'd be happy
to do so and would arrange a meeting. The family business had been started
by his grandfather and from all accounts was very successful due to its
personal approach with customers.

Finally everyone left much to Paul's relief, except for Tom, Edward and
Simon who were all staying the night. Martha had announced that she was
moving in with her sister who lived on the south coast so left with the
others.

"Have you had any thoughts on what you'll do with Blake Hall?" Edward asked
Paul whilst they sat in the large sitting room which Martha had opened up
again.

"Yes I have and I'd like to discuss an idea since if we all agreed it was
worth doing then you're all invited to join in the venture which would
include Sam and Len." Edward and Simon looked at Paul in anticipation. Tom
knew what his partner had in mind.

"I don't want to live here in its present form as a large house and I'm
reluctant to sell it since three of us were born and bred on the estate so
my idea is to convert the house into a business that we could all work in."

"What kind of business?" Simon asked expecting Paul to say something like a
hotel.

"A gay spa resort" Paul grinned, "It would be open to members only since
that gets round several regulations we'd have to meet. We'd have eight
bedrooms in addition to our own which potentiality would accommodate eight
couples. We'd need to install a couple of hot tubs, a sauna cabin as well
as make alterations to some of the rooms plus other facilities we feel
would attract clients."

"That's a fucking brilliant idea" Simon exclaimed.

"Yeah, it is" Edward added, "but do you think there's a demand for
something like that in this area?"

Paul said a friend of his had undertaken a market survey and it showed
there was. He'd also floated the idea with some of his gay college friends
and they too thought it was a good idea. "Quite what the local village will
say when they find out a load of poofs are staying at Blake Hall I'm not
sure" Paul laughed, "But we're sufficiently out of the village so I don't
see it should cause any problems. Besides, I don't intend having a large
sign up outside saying Welcome to Blake Hall Gay Spa Resort"

"Fuck no" Tom laughed, "that would really cause locals to choke. How do you
think your dad would react Edward; he's bound to find out what's going on
at some point."

Edward laughed. "Knowing my dad he'd just laugh it off and be envious that
he couldn't use it too and mum certainly wouldn't have any problem. As far
as the other farm workers go, who cares a fuck but most of them don't seem
to have a problem with gays."

Paul detailed his ideas and how they'd operate. He felt that the five of
them should be able to run the place without additional staff.

"Do you think Sam would be interested in coming to live here and take part
in the project?" he asked Edward.

"Yeah, I reckon he would because I know he would like to find a bigger
place to live and I think he's tired of running the coffee shop, so yeah, I
reckon he would."

"And what about Len, do you think he'd settle in here okay?"

"Sure, in fact I reckon he'd love it; plenty of space and in a safe
environment"

"Although we'll all help each other out, I'd like each one of us to have a
specific responsibility so I was thinking that perhaps Sam would be
interested in taking responsibility for food preparation." Edward said he
was sure Sam would since he loved cooking.

"I'll be responsible for administration and dealing with bookings and I was
wondering if you Edward would be prepared to take responsibility for
housekeeping matters such as room preparation and bed making; we'll help
out but it would be your responsibility to makes sure everything is done
according to your standard."

"Great" Edward replied enthusiastically "and don't forget Len; he's far
more capable than Sam gives him credit for; Sam tends to wrap Len up in
cotton wool which is understandable in London but I've found he's perfectly
capable and likes doing specific jobs once he's been shown how so he could
help me with housekeeping which would keep him out of the kitchen."
Everyone thought that was a great idea.

"So, that leaves the newly formed spa area which will be installed in the
old stable block and the grounds. Tom has said that he'd like to be
responsible for the grounds since he likes gardening so we were wondering
if you Simon would be responsible for the spa area making sure that the hot
tubs and sauna cabin plus whatever other area we put there are all
maintained properly."

Simon grinned. "Yeah, I'd love to do that and I could help Tom where
necessary."

"Excellent, so are we all agreed that running a gay spa resort is a good
idea and managing it between ourselves?"

Everyone said they were and got excited over the idea. "It would mean guys
that you'd no longer have gay bars and clubs on your doorstep and it will
be hard work when we've got a full guest list but it will be fun."

"Yeah, I agree" Simon grinned, "Personally I'm getting fed up with the
London gay scene but we'd have our own gay community here wouldn't we; I
take it there'd be nothing to prevent us from fraternising with the guests
when interest is shown?" he laughed.

"I don't see why not and Tom and I think it would be good to make it a
clothes optional venue so you'd no doubt have plenty of naked guys to
admire" Paul laughed.

"Fuck, that will be brilliant" Simon exclaimed already getting hard at the
thought of it.

"Although we do feel that some form of clothing should be worn in the
dining room; having cocks flapping about when guys are eating is probably
not a good idea" Tom explained.

"Yes, we thought we'd make it a rule that all guests must wear something
such as a thong, a pair of shorts or a towel when in the dining room but
otherwise they can wander round naked if they want including the back
garden since that's well hidden off from the casual observer. As you know,
the main entrance is gated so visitors can't wander in without using the
door entry system and it's covered with CCTV as is the rest of the
property."

Paul then suggested they go round the house to show everyone the
alterations that he and Tom had come up with. The living room would remain
as it was although new furniture would be installed to replace the current
items. The hall would stay as it was with the staircase on either side
leading up to the first floor.

"I'm planning to convert the library into a massage parlour" Edward
grinned, "Tom and I thought it would be good to offer erotic massages to
guys and we thought it was rather ironic to use the room my father always
used just to stick two fingers up to him".

"Yeah, fuck the man" Edward exclaimed and then realised what he'd
said. "Sorry my lord didn't mean to be disrespectful to your father."

"Fuck my father" Paul laughed, "and nobody is to refer to me as Sir or my
lord otherwise they'll get a hard spanking". Edward blushed and said he was
just joking.

"Mm, now that sounds rather kinky" Simon giggled, "Perhaps we should
provide an S&M room somewhere". The others agreed so Paul made a note of
that idea.

They moved into what had been his mother's private sitting room and Edward
explained they'd make that a games room with a billiards table. Another
small room nearby which had originally been a parlour would be used to show
gay porn so that guests could sit and relax or do whatever else took their
fancy. He added that the floor would be fitted with a PVC leather covered
exercise gymnastics mattress which could be cleaned easily.

The dining room would remain much as it was although the large table would
be replaced with smaller round tables and a stainless steel heated serving
counter would be installed since guests would collect their meals from
there rather than being waited on at their table. The kitchen would need a
complete makeover to fit stainless steel units as required under the food
regulations and new hobs and ovens would be installed.

"If Sam is interested in joining us and taking on the food preparation,
we'll bring him here so he can say how he'd like the kitchen planned out"
Paul told Edward.

He then led them out to the old stable block. This would need a complete
makeover so as to accommodate a large hot tub that would seat at least ten
guys, a smaller hot tub and a sauna cabin. "Taking up your idea Simon, we
could use the old tack room for an S&M area if it was large enough. Simon
looked at it and decided it would be saying they could install a St Andrews
cross and a fuck bench plus a range of whips and spanking paddles.

When they moved outside, Tom explained they would fill in the area between
the stable block and the house so as to provide undercover access to the
spa area and at the front of this building there'd be a small office. "This
would be the main entrance instead of using the large front door that goes
straight into the hall" he added.

"Okay, let's go upstairs and look at what we've got in mind for there" Paul
said as he led the group back into the house.

He walked them up the stairs that took them into the rooms on the west wing
and he first showed them the bedroom at the back of the house that
overlooked the garden. "Tom and I thought you and Sam would like to use
this room Edward; next to it is a slightly smaller room that Len could use
as his bedroom. There is a shared en-suite shower room so you'd have your
own facilities."

Edward looked round the room and then out of the window. Paul could see he
was overwhelmed. "Are you sure; this is a beautiful room and I know Sam
will love it" Edward managed to say as tears started to fall down his face,
"And Len will love his room". Paul took Edward into his arms and kissed
him. He loved it when guys were overcome with happiness and became
emotional.

"It's fucking brilliant" Simon said wondering what room he'd be using.

Paul then led them into the other four rooms on that side of the house
which would become rooms for the paying guests. Two already had en-suite
shower rooms and he explained that the large bathroom would be split to
make two en-suites for the other two rooms. "It does mean that there'd be
no bath on this floor but there would be one on the next floor" he
explained.

"Fuck, there's a second floor is there?" Simon exclaimed.

They moved across to the east wing using the back corridor which would be
opened up for guests to use and Paul showed them the equivalent room at the
back of the house which he and Tom would use. It had always been his room
and was the one he and Tom used to have sex each night when Paul lived at
home and Tom had been a servant. As with the west wing there was a slightly
smaller room next door which he suggested Simon use as his bedroom.

"Wow, this is brilliant; much bigger than the bedroom in my tiny flat, in
fact it's almost as big as the whole flat."

"So you'd be happy with this room then?" Tom asked.

"Fuck yes, thanks guys, this is brilliant; can't wait for all this to
happen; when do you think it will?"

Paul said he reckoned it would take about three months to do the necessary
alterations which would mean they'd be able to take paying guests early
autumn. "What I want to be able to do is be well and truly open by
Christmas because there are lots of guys who'd like to spend Christmas in a
place like this. The plan is that we offer three day, seven day and two
week stays to start with and see what the take up is like. If we find we
have to be more flexible then we can adjust things."

They quickly looked at the other four rooms that would be for paying guests
which were similar to those in the west wing. Paul then led them up to the
top floor to the room that had originally been Tom's and then Edward's when
they worked in the house. Both Tom and Edward had an odd feeling when they
went into their old room. It seemed like a lifetime away since the room had
been theirs. It was under the eaves so Paul had decided it was not suitable
for a paying guest but the bathroom could be enlarged into it to include a
couple of baths and a large shower area should guests want to bath or
shower together. Everyone thought this a great idea.

"It's a beautiful house" Simon commented once they'd gone back downstairs,
"How old is it?"

"This one was built by my grandfather in the early nineteen hundreds but
before that there was a much larger house which had been built in the early
eighteen hundreds. Apparently it was an old house full of drafts so my
grandfather had it pulled down and this one built. Since then it's been
modernised but as you can see it's a well designed house."

"I've always loved this house" Tom added.

"Same here and I can't wait to come back and live here again; okay London
is full of excitement with its hustle and bustle but I love the quietness
of this place" Edward added.

"Not sure it will remain quiet once we have a number of screaming queens
staying here" Paul laughed.

"No worries, if any become too obstreperous we'll give them a good fuck"
Simon laughed.


3.

The following morning they drove back to London excited at the prospect of
moving to Blake Hall and starting a new life. Edward so hoped that Sam
would be as excited as he was since he loved the guy and didn't want to
lose him. He was also certain that Len would be so much happier there.

As soon as he stepped into the coffee shop, Len came running up to him. He
loved Edward and had missed him. "I've been doing some drawings" he said
excitedly as he held up sheets of paper he'd drawn on. Edward stopped to
look at them and smiled. Len was quite good and had captured customers as
they sat drinking their coffee.

"These are very good Len" Edward said and gave Len a pat on the back. Len
liked that since his brother seldom patted him on the back or for that
matter said he was good at things. Most times he told him off for doing
things he shouldn't have done but since Edward had been around his brother
had not been so tense. He liked that and decided it must be due to Edward
being there. He also had a feeling it was something to do with what they
did together in bed each night.

Edward looked over to the counter where Sam was busy serving a customer. He
grinned and blew him a kiss. "Hi, welcome back" he beamed once he'd
finished with the customer. "How did it all go?"

"I'll tell you later; I've got lots to tell you" Edward ginned as he gave
his lover a kiss.

"Oh, oh, they're kissing again" they heard Len giggle which amused the
customers sitting nearby.

It was lunchtime so the coffee shop was busy. Edward got straight down to
work and for the next hour or so hardly stopped. Every so often he looked
at Sam and smiled. When the lunchtime rush was over Sam moved up beside
him. "How did the funeral go?" he asked.

"Okay; there were lots of people there; Paul had tears in his eyes of
course but Tom comforted him."

Sam nodded. It was nice to have someone to comfort you when in need. "You
said you had lots to tell me, what's that about?"

"Will tell you when we've closed and gone upstairs" Edward replied just as
another customer came up asking for a latte coffee and a sandwich.

Sam's heart dropped wondering what the news was about. His mind went into
overdrive. Was Edward moving back to Blake Hall? Would he lose him having
just found the man of his dreams? His life was full of disappointment so he
automatically assumed the worst. His life had come to a halt when he took
on the responsibility of looking after Len. He knew it was his burden but
it didn't stop him from longing for the life he'd lost. Would he ever find
someone to love who'd put up with Len for longer than just a few months? He
somehow doubted it.

Edward could sense that Sam was feeling tense because he'd not given him
his news so when he had a moment he whispered into his ear "What I've got
to say is good news". Sam smiled but something told Edward he didn't really
believe him.


Finally it was six and Sam locked the door. Edward was giving each table a
good clean in readiness for the next day. For a moment he watched Len
helping Edward. There was no doubt that Edward was good with Len and
treated him gently but firmly. He went to cash up and then saw Edward
giving the floor a good mop. He was a good worker and he'd miss him. He
noticed Len standing to one side being careful not to knock the bucket of
water over. Normally he'd have warned Len to keep clear but with Edward he
just did. Perhaps he was overprotective with Len or always expected the
worst to happen. That was his problem, he was never positive these days
like he used to be before that terrible day.

When everything was done, Edward and Len made their way upstairs. Sam
followed with a heavy heart; he was certain that Edward was going to
announce that he was leaving.

"So, what's this news you need to tell me about?" Sam asked sadly. Before
Edward could reply he told Len to go into the living room whilst he talked
with Edward. He didn't want Len in tears once he heard about Edward
leaving.

"Let's all go into the living room" Edward grinned, "because I want Len to
hear this news too".

"Is that wise?" Sam frowned at Edward.

"Yes it is, now cheer up this is good news; at least I think it is."

Finally Sam agreed. He followed Edward into their tiny living room having
watched him take Len by the hand. Len sat beside Edward on the small sofa
and Sam pulled up another chair. Edward grinned and went through what Paul
had discussed with them that morning.

"So what you're saying is that Paul is inviting me to go with you" Sam said
as he tried to process what Edward had told him.

"Yes, of course. What he'd like, assuming you are willing is for you to be
responsible for food preparation. The rest of us will also have a specific
responsibility as well as helping each other."

"Will I be going?" Len asked excitedly.

"Of course you will" Edward chuckled and put an arm round Len. "You'll be
helping me with the housekeeping; would you like that?"

"What's housekeeping?"

Edward chuckled and explained it was cleaning rooms and making beds. "You
know, like we do here for Sam."

"Wow, that's cool" Len replied excitedly, "When do we go?"

"It depends on whether Sam wants to go because if he doesn't then we stay
here."

"I want to go, I want to go" Len said as he jumped up and down.

Sam replayed in his mind what Edward had just said. 'If he doesn't then we
stay here'.

"So if I said no you'd also say no" he eventually asked.

Edward looked at him and nodded but there was sadness in his eyes. "I
thought you wanted a bigger place for us to live in and I thought you were
tired of running the coffee shop".

"I do and I am" Sam smiled.

"Is that a yes then?"

"Yep, it's a yes; I'd travel to the ends of the earth to stay with you; I
love you so much Edward." Sam moved over to the sofa and asked Len to make
room for him. Len jumped onto Edward's lap and grinned. His brother was
grinning which was good. He liked it when his brother smiled and since
Edward had been around he'd done it a lot.

"So are we all going to this place whatever its called?" Len asked.

"Blake Hall. Yes we are; would you like that?" Sam grinned.

"Yeah" Len screamed, "And Edward's coming too?"

"Yes, Edward is coming too" Sam laughed.

"Cool, he's my friend; can I kiss him?"

"Of course you can kiss me" Edward laughed. He was so relieved that Sam had
agreed. Len leaned in and gave him a big wet kiss on the cheek. He'd
thought about doing it on the lips like he'd seen Edward and his brother do
but decided that was special between them. He then leant over and gave his
brother one too. He was so happy.

"Can I watch TV?" Len asked as he jumped off Edward's knee. Sam said he
could but to keep the volume down. Does Bake Hall have TV?"

Edward laughed, "It's Blake Hall and yes it does". Len giggled and turned
his attention to the TV. His favourite program was about to start.

"So are you happy to take on the responsibility of food preparation?"

"Yeah, of course, I'd love to; have always wanted to be a proper chef so
now I can; still can't believe Paul is inviting me to join his enterprise."

"Well he is because he thinks you're great" Edward laughed "and Len will
love his room; and you should see our room, it's enormous and overlooks the
garden."

Sam smiled and pulled Edward into a kiss, "You're really excited about
going back aren't you".

Edward nodded, yes he was. "We all are and I'm certain you'll love it and
Len will too".


When they went to bed, Sam pulled Edward into a hug. "Are you really sure
you want me and Len to come to Blake Hall with you, and what about the
others, are you sure they won't mind having Len around?"

"I thought you said you wanted to come?" Edward gasped and knelt across
Sam's body.

"I really do want to come and as you say it will be good for Len; I think
perhaps I am too protective of him at times but I feel so responsible for
him and don't want anything to happen to him."

"I know my love but at Blake Hall there will be five of us to look after
him and make sure he's safe. Paul and Tom know him and Simon will have no
problems; he's a bubbly kind of guy and will get on well with Len; so stop
worrying. He's far more resilient than you give him credit for and provided
he knows what to do will follow instructions perfectly. I've found that
with him in the coffee shop."

"I know; you've been wonderful with him; it's so nice to have someone who
cares."

Edward bent forward and went down on his lover for a kiss. The warm wetness
of Edward's tongue, flicking into his mouth, caught him off guard. Sam
opened up to him and Edward made a pleasing sound. The next invasion told
Sam that Edward meant business. Sam could feel Edward's erection pressing
against his. Feeling skin to skin and the weight of Edward's naked body
pressing against his felt so wonderful. Suddenly a crash from the kitchen
brought Sam out of his dreamy state.

"Fuck, what's he gone and done now?" Sam exclaimed.

"Leave it to me, I'll go and see" Edward said calmly as he jumped out of
bed with his cock waving around in front of him. Len had seen him naked
before so he didn't bother to put anything on.

"I didn't touch it" Len cried, "I didn't touch it". Edward looked down on
the floor and saw shards of glass everywhere.

"Don't move Len" he said gently.

"I didn't touch it" Len said with tears running down his face. "Is Sam mad
at me?"

"No of course not; I'm sure it was just an accident but do not move will
you because you might cut your bare feet on the glass; you won't move will
you."

"I won't move" Len repeated whilst Edward rushed to fetch the long handled
broom.

"Just stay put until I say so whilst I sweep the glass away."

"I'll stay put" Len repeated looking down at the shattered glass. As Edward
swept the pieces to one side, Len saw Sam appear. "It wasn't my fault; I
didn't touch it" Len said immediately.

"It's okay Len, I'm not mad but do as Edward told you and stay still; we
don't want you to cut your feet." Len looked at his brother expecting him
to tell him off but he just watched Edward sweep away the broken
glass. When he'd swept it into one big pile he moved over to where Len was
standing.

"Right, you can now move away" Edward said gently and took hold of Len's
hand. "What were you trying to do?"

"Get a glass from the cupboard and this one fell out; I didn't touch it."
Edward grinned and hugged Len's naked body up close to his. He used to wear
pyjamas but when he saw Edward sleep naked with Sam he'd decided to do the
same. Sam had said nothing so he presumed it was okay.

"Come on; let's get you back to bed"

Sam said he'd clear up the broken glass and bring a glass of water into
Len. He watched Edward gently lead Len away and knew he was so lucky to
have found this beautiful guy.

"Right" Edward said once they were in Len's room, "lay on the bed so I can
check your feet just in case you've trodden on any broken glass." Len did
so and Edward inspected each foot.

"That tickles" Len giggled so Edward ran a finger up the sole of each
foot. Len laughed and giggled. "You've got a bigger winkle than me."

"Have I?" Edward smiled as he looked at Len's. His body was very much that
of a twenty year old even though his mind wasn't. "Yours is pretty big as
well" he giggled as he pulled the duvet over Len.

"It's bigger in the morning when I wake up"

"That's known as a morning erection" Edward said.

"Do you and Sam have morning erections?"

"Yes we do have them, most mornings" Edward smiled.

"What do we have most mornings?" Sam asked as he walked in with the glass
of water for Len.

"Morning erections" Len blurted out.

"Fuck, what are you two talking about?" Sam exclaimed.

"We've made Sam go red" Len giggled as he sipped his water.

"Len said I had a bigger dick than he did and then he said that his was
bigger when he woke up in the morning so I explained that was known as a
morning erection so he asked if we had morning erections and I said yes we
do most mornings", Edward laughed.

"Okay, now the sex education session is over perhaps we can all get back to
bed" Sam said still blushing at the thought of Edward talking to his
brother about morning erections, although why he wasn't really sure since
before that dreadful day they'd often shared experiences with each other
about the way their bodies changed during puberty. It just seemed that now
Len was no longer the teenager he used to be when they talked about sex and
sexual feelings he was embarrassed to talk about such matters.

"Perhaps in future when you need a glass of water it would be best if you
asked me or Sam to get the glass for you Len."

"Okay" Len said calmly. "Is Sam mad with me?"

Edward sat on the side of the bed and held Len's hand. "No of course he's
not; he was worried you might have hurt yourself that's all."

"Okay" Len replied and looked again at Edward's flapping organ. "Yours is
definitely bigger than mine". Edward chuckled and kissed Len on his
forehead. "Now you go to sleep". He almost added 'sweet dreams' but
didn't. He wondered whether Len ever did dream about that terrible day. He
couldn't imagine anything worse.

"I can't believe you were talking to him about sex" Sam whispered when
Edward got into bed.

"What's wrong with talking to him about his body? He's twenty, well
developed and has a very sexy body. Although his mind may not always be
running at the same age you can't treat him like a child all the time."

"Yeah, suppose you're right; as always, but I worry slightly what will
happen when we're living at Blake Hall and he sees naked guys wandering
around; you don't reckon any will take advantage of him do you?"

"Of course not; even more reason to talk to him about sex and the way his
body reacts so he knows how to deal with such a situation. Have you never
seen him wank himself off?"

"Not since...you know"

"I imagine he does don't you?"

Sam thought for a moment, "Yeah, maybe; now is there any chance we could
pick up where we left off when we were rudely interrupted?"

Edward giggled and moved on top of Sam's sexy body. He wiggled their cocks
together and soon they were hard again. They kissed passionately and Sam
felt Edward's strong tongue flicking into his mouth again.

"I want you to fuck me" Sam groaned after a few minutes and wrapped his
legs round Edward's waist. Edward reached over for the lube and prepared
Sam and his long thick tool. They'd dispensed with protection so he
positioned his cock up to Sam's arse and gently pushed in. It slipped in
with ease and Sam groaned with pleasure. He loved the feel of Edward's hot
cock inside him. Slowly Edward moved back and forth gradually increasing
the pace.

"I'm gonna cum" he whispered after a few minutes.

"Yeah, let it come" Sam giggled. For once in his life he felt so happy and
by the look of things it was going to last.


4.

As soon as the coffee shop had been closed on the Saturday evening, Sam,
Edward and Len made their way to Belsize Park. They'd arranged with Paul
that he'd drive them and Tom to Blake Hall that evening so they could spend
the Sunday showing Sam around and discuss the refurbishment of the
kitchen. Edward had called Paul the very next morning after Sam had agreed
to join the venture so everyone was feeling excited about the future. Since
Paul's car only seated five, Simon had not joined them that weekend. They'd
all met up one evening during the week after the coffee shop had closed. As
Edward had said, Simon was a fun guy and got on well with Len which was
good to see. When they talked about the move to Blake Hall, Len's grin lit
up his whole face like a young child's. Sam loved that look since it was
nice to see him so happy but at the same time it told the world that he
wasn't normal.

When they arrived at Blake Hall, Paul led Sam and Len in through the large
front door into the grand hallway. They both gasped as they looked up at
the beautiful chandelier and the stairs either side that led to the first
floor.

"Wow, this is quite something" Sam exclaimed.

"Is this where we're going to live?" Len asked excitedly.

"That's the plan" Paul chuckled and placed a hand on Len's shoulder,
"That's if you want to".

"Yes, yes I want to" Len replied as he jumped up and down.

Tom had brought food already prepared so said he'd go and heat it up in the
kitchen whilst Paul showed Sam upstairs.

"This is the room we thought you and Edward would like to make your own"
Paul said letting Sam and Len walk in ahead of him.

"Fuck, this is enormous" he exclaimed before moving to the window to look
out at the garden. It was now dusk so he couldn't see much but he could see
the garden was impressive.

"And your room Len is next door" Paul said taking him into the corridor and
then into the adjoining room.

"So, what do you think?" Edward asked Sam as he moved up beside him.

"I still can't believe all this; it's just out of this world; it's
beautiful; I never imagined we'd ever live anywhere like this." He turned
to Edward and pulled him into a passionate kiss.

Meanwhile Len was gasping over the size of his room. "Is this all mine?" he
asked wondering if he had to share it with someone.

"All yours" Paul chuckled.

"And the big bed?"

"Yep, and the big bed but you'll have a new one because that one is old
now."

Len sat on the old spring bed and jumped up and down. "It's hard" he
grimaced.

"That's why you'll have a new one" Paul laughed. He loved Len's innocence
and knew he would fit into his new family without any problem.

Len ran back into the other room. "I'm going to have a new big bed" he
giggled as he watched Edward and Sam kissing.

They stopped and Edward smiled at Len. "Yes, we all are; so do you like
your new room?"

"It's cool" Len said excitedly as he rushed up to give Edward a hug, "Come
and have a look Sam".

Sam grinned at Edward and followed his excited brother out of the
room. "Wow, this is really nice" Sam said on seeing the room and pulled his
brother into an embrace. "We are so lucky aren't we?" Len nodded and
wrapped his arms round his brother. Seeing his brother so happy was the
best thing in the world. He so hoped it would continue.


The next morning Paul went through the plans for the proposed spa resort
business with Sam whilst Tom and Edward showed Len outside and looked after
him. Sam was very impressed with everything and agreed with it all.

"Okay, let's look at the kitchen because I need you to decide how you want
that"

Sam agreed that the whole area had to be gutted and to start again in order
to fit regulation stainless steel units. They decided that Martha's old
parlour would be used as a storeroom and contain two large fridge freezer
units. The old scullery would be gutted and have new stainless steel sinks
and two commercial dishwashers installed. The main kitchen would have two
ovens, hobs and a griddle for cooking fried eggs and bacon. There would
also be a vegetable preparation area and a central work unit plus a new
cushioned flooring to cover the cold hard quarry tiles. Paul wondered how
Martha had put up with the cold floor and the poor conditions for so many
years but it was typical of his father not to provide modern conveniences
for his long suffering staff.

Having agreed what was required and how the kitchen would be planned, Paul
took Sam into the dining room. He'd already got copies of the plans for the
house and had produced a scaled plan on his laptop computer using a room
plan software program. Whilst Sam chose each piece of equipment from a
website that sold commercial appliances, Paul placed each item onto his
plan using the measurements shown. By the end of the morning they'd planned
out the whole kitchen area plus the two other rooms and produced a list of
the items required. He then told Sam to list out what other gadgets he
would need such as food mixers, an automatic potato peeler and other labour
saving devices.

"This lot is going to cost a fortune" Sam exclaimed once they'd finished.

"True but the changes are necessary and will make life easier"

"Thanks Paul for inviting me to join your venture" Sam said when they'd
finished. Paul smiled and said he was very welcome. "And you're sure you
don't mind Len living here?"

"Of course not, he's a sweet guy and we look forward to him being part of
the family." Sam felt a tear form in his eyes. After that terrible day he'd
never dreamt that he and Sam would be part of a family again.

"You should see the garden Sam" an excited Len rushed in to say, "It's
fabulous". Sam smiled at his brother and gave him a hug.

"So you think you'll like it here then?" Sam grinned knowing only too well
what the answer would be.

"Yeah, it'll be cool; can't wait to move here."

They walked into what in future would be called the lounge area instead of
the old fashioned term 'drawing room' that Paul's father had insisted on
using.

"Wow a piano" Len suddenly shouted and rushed over to the grand piano
situated in one corner. Paul smiled and lifted off the dust cover to Len
see it and then opened it up.

"Do you like listening to the piano?" Paul smiled.

"Can I play it?" Len asked excitedly.

"Oh god" Sam groaned as he watched Len sit at the piano and gently brush
his fingers over the ivory keys. He waited for what he was sure would
happen. Suddenly Len started playing and everyone looked at him in
amazement. Edward noticed that Sam had sat down and put his head into his
hands. "What's wrong my love?" Edward whispered but Sam just sat there
waiting.

"Chopin's Nocturne in E flat major opus 9, number 2" Paul whispered hardly
believing what he was hearing. Len's rendition of the piece was beautiful
and sounded just like a concern pianist. Everyone looked on in stunned
silence except Sam who was still waiting for something to happen.

When Len finished the piece everyone applauded him. He grinned and looked
over to Sam who smiled with tears running down his face. Len rushed over
and hugged his brother.

"That was beautiful Len" Paul remarked still hardly believing what he'd
heard. Tom could see that Sam was upset for some reason so said he'd make
some sandwiches for lunch.

"Can I come?" Len asked brightly.

"Yes, if you like" Tom smiled.

"I had no idea Len could play the piano; that was so beautiful" Paul said
once Tom and Len had left the room. Sam looked up and tears flooded down
his face.

"What's wrong?" Edward asked now somewhat concerned as he sat down and took
Sam into his arms. For a moment or so Sam just sobbed his heart out. It was
the first time he'd done so since that terrible day. He'd often wanted to
but had not done so knowing he had to keep himself together for Len's
sake. Paul sat down the other side of him and held his hand.

"Is Len's playing the piano something to do with your parents?" Paul asked
gently. Sam nodded.

"He started playing when he was five; he took to the piano like a duck to
water and loved playing; our mother played and when she realised Len loved
the piano she encouraged him; he entered several piano competitions and did
well; that day Len had taken part in a national competition in Birmingham;
he won first prize and we were all so proud of him." Sam paused as more
tears started pouring down his face. Edward and Paul held a hand each to
comfort him. "I'd come down from Sheffield where I was studying at the time
so had to go back leaving Len, mum and dad to travel home in the car; it
was on their way home that the accident happened." Edward felt his heart
race suddenly realising the significance of Len playing the piano again.

"And was it that piece he played for the competition?" Paul asked.

Sam nodded. "The whole audience were in tears by the time he'd finished; he
played it so beautifully."

"Has he not played since then?" Edward asked.

"Once, about a year after that day; as soon as he started playing he burst
into tears and it took me weeks to bring him out of himself again; I was
expecting him to do the same today."

Paul and Edward squeezed his hand understanding Sam's concern. "From what
we've seen today it seems he's got over that" Edward said quietly.

Sam nodded. "Perhaps he has". He then threw his arms round Edward and
cried. Paul decided to leave the two guys and quietly slipped out.

He found Tom and Len busy preparing sandwiches in the kitchen. Len was
grinning and laughing as if nothing out of the ordinary had taken place. As
soon as he saw Paul his face lit up. "When we come and live here, can I
play the piano again?" he asked brightly.

"Would you like to?" Paul smiled.

"Yes please; I love playing the piano."

"You play it beautifully so you can play it whenever you like." Len beamed
and hugged Paul like a child who'd just been given a birthday present. "In
fact I think what we'll do is move the piano into the entrance hall so you
can play it whenever you want; that way it won't disturb any guests who
want to read or look at television in the lounge area; what do you think?"

Len nodded and jumped up and down. Tom looked at Paul and grinned. "Is Sam
okay?" he mouthed to Paul whilst Len continued placing the sandwiches he'd
help make onto a large platter. Paul nodded. "Tell you later" he mouthed.

"Do you think you could carry your plate of sandwiches into the lounge
Len?" Tom asked. Len nodded and carefully picked up the platter. Tom picked
up a pile of plates and the other platter of sandwiches whilst Paul
collected five wine glasses and a bottle of white wine. The three then made
their way to the lounge. Sam had now calmed down and watched his brother
carefully place his platter onto a small table in front of where they were
sitting. Normally he'd have told Len to take great care since it was quite
likely that he'd drop it or knock something over. Instead he just looked on
feeling proud of his younger brother.

Once the deed was done, Len looked over to Sam and grinned. Sam opened his
arms and Len rushed over to sit on his lap to hug his brother. "You played
beautifully" he told Len who gave Sam a big grin.

"Paul says I can play the piano when we move here and he's going to move it
into the entrance hall so I won't disturb people who want to watch TV" he
said excitedly. Sam smiled and kissed his brother lightly on the
lips. Len's heart lifted. At last his brother was smiling and looking happy
again. "Why were you crying?" he suddenly blurted out. "Do you think mum
and dad heard me playing the piano in heaven?"

Sam nearly burst into tears again but somehow held back. It was the first
time Len had talked of their parents in that way since the accident. Up to
now he'd never mentioned them or talked about that terrible day. "If they
did I'm sure they were very proud of you as I am" Sam managed to say. Len
beamed and moved off Sam's lap to sit beside him. "I'm hungry" he said
making the others laugh.

"Tuck in guys" Tom announced and passed round the plates.

Paul opened the bottle of wine and poured five glasses. Once he'd passed a
glass to everyone he held his up. "Here's to the success of Blake Hall SR
Limited" he said "And may we all be very happy living here". Everyone held
their glass up too and clinked them together which Len loved doing.

"Is that the name we're using?" Edward asked.

Paul explained that he'd registered that as the company name under which
the business would operate but the trading name would be 'Blake Hall' with
a tagline of 'Gay Spa Resort'.

"And where will you advertise?" Sam asked. Paul said that he and Tom were
to design a website with the help of a friend and that he'd get other gay
sites to place a link on their websites and they'd advertise in the gay
press. He was also hoping that personal recommendation would bring in most
business once they were up and running.

"Cant' wait to get started" Edward said excitedly.

"Tom and I have decided to move here the week after next" Paul
announced. "I will have completed the current project I'm working on by
then and won't be taking any more on after that. What notice do you have to
give the owner of the coffee shop Sam?"

"I'm not sure since he's never actually given me a contract; things just
happened and we've gone on from there but to be honest I have a feeling
he's thinking of selling the business."

Edward looked shocked. "You never said; what makes you think that?"

"Do you remember that agent who came round a few weeks ago to assess the
value of the property? He was a bit cagey when I asked him what it was all
about and just said it was for insurance purposes but I reckon he was doing
an evaluation for the owner to sell the business. What would happen then I
haven't a clue; quite likely that whoever takes it on would want their own
person to manage things so that's us out of a job and probably a home so
this has come just at the right time."

"Wow, didn't realise that" Edward gasped.

"So it's possible that the owner would be more than happy if you announced
that you and Edward wanted to leave" Paul commented.

"Quite likely, but I'll call him first thing tomorrow and find out; that's
assuming this venture is definitely going ahead."

"It certainly is" Tom grinned, "Paul, Simon and me are definitely going
ahead aren't we my love."

Paul grinned and gave his lover a kiss. "Sure is so if you guys are in then
it's all systems go; although it will probably take about three months to
do the necessary alterations you will be paid as soon as you move in."
Everyone knew that board and lodging would be covered by the business but
Paul had said they'd all receive a small salary for personal
expenditure. Edward had also been invited to be a director of the newly
formed company along with Paul and Tom although any decisions would be made
between all of them.


After lunch they planned out the spa area that was to be installed in the
old stable block, plus the office and newly formed entrance. Paul had
already spoken to the local planning officer who'd confirmed that as long
as the original front brick wall that connected the old stable block to the
main house remained there was no need for planning permission since they
were in effect covering over the yard between the house and the stable
block. Martha's old bedroom would form part of the newly formed office and
corridor that would lead into the current entrance hall of the main
house. This same corridor would also provide access to the new spa area.

"It will be brilliant" Edward said excitedly once they'd worked everything
out. Sam grinned. He could see that his boyfriend was really excited over
the whole thing and about returning to Blake Hall. He too was now excited
at the thought of living here which couldn't come soon enough.


Late on the Sunday evening, Paul drove everyone back to London. They'd
achieved everything he'd hoped for so felt happy as did everyone else. He
and Tom dropped Sam, Len and Edward off at their flat in Soho and made
their way home to Belsize Park.

Once inside, Tom pulled Paul into his arms. "Will you miss this place?"

"Not really, will you?"

Tom shook his head. "It's nice and I like the buzz of London but I've only
thought of it as a bolt hole to get away from your father; does that sound
terrible?"

Paul grinned and kissed the sexy guy in his arms. "Fuck no; I feel the same
way; which reminds me, the next time we go to Blake Hall I want to take
down his portrait from the main entrance hallway; I'm certainly not having
that bastard looking down at me the whole time."

"What about your grandfather and your mum? I think you should keep them
up." Paul agreed, he'd always liked his grandfather who'd died when Paul
was ten years old and he'd always loved his mother.

"What happened to your portrait? I noticed it had gone."

"The bastard had it removed when I'd told him I was gay; I suspect it's
been put in the storage area in the attic."

"In that case we'll hang it in place of your father" Tom chuckled, "I think
we should have the current Lord Roberts looking down on us."

"I'll do more than look down on you" Paul laughed and led Tom into the
bedroom where he stripped him naked. Tom certainly didn't object and once
they were both naked with stiff cocks needing attention they climbed into
bed. "Want to fuck you" Paul whispered into Tom's ear.

"Mm thought you'd never ask; always wanted to be fucked by a Lord"


First thing on the Monday morning, Sam called the owner of the coffee shop
to tell him that he and Edward were moving away from London. "Ah, right,
when did you want to move out?"

"We've not got a fixed date but we wanted to give you time to find someone
else to take over"

"Well, as a matter of fact I was going to come and see you. I've sold the
business Sam but I've told the new owner they must give you at least three
months to find another position and somewhere to live because they want to
refurbish the whole place and put in their own manager who'd move into your
flat." Sam said nothing for a moment absorbing the information even though
it came as no surprise. "Sorry Sam; you've done a brilliant job running the
place and Edward has also been very popular with customers from all
accounts; as a result it's become a very saleable business and I couldn't
let such a good offer go by."

"Just as well we've found something else" Sam chuckled, "When does the new
owner want to take over?"

"They were talking about the week after next, how would that fit in with
your plans?"

"Perfect, we'll move out at the end of that week"

The owner was relieved since he'd been worried about telling Sam the
news. "I shall include a three month bonus in your final salary Sam in
recognition of the great job you've done over the years and I'll give
Edward a month if that's okay". Sam was speechless; he'd certainly not
expected that.

"Thanks, thanks very much"

When he came off the phone he called Edward into the back and told him the
news.

"Does that mean we're moving to Blake Hall in two weeks?" Len asked
excitedly.

"Yep, that's if you still want to" Sam grinned.

"Fuck yes, brilliant" Len replied as he jumped up and down.

"Language Len" Sam chided him.

"You use that word"

"Len's right, we both do" Edward laughed and pulled Len and Sam into a hug.

"Yeah, you're fucking right as usual" Sam grinned which made Len shriek
with laughter.


5.

As they were now all moving at the same time, Paul hired a removal company
to take all their belongings to Blake Hall. Tom was now insured to drive
Paul's Mercedes, so he used that to collect Simon and his personal items
and bring him to Belsize Park in readiness for the move. Simon had left his
job the previous day so vacated his small flat.

"I'm glad to get out of this dump" he told Tom as they gave it a final once
over to make sure he'd got everything. All the furniture belonged to the
flat so they only had to take his personal items.

"It's not that bad" Tom commented as he looked round although it was small
and far more cramped than his and Paul's apartment and of course vastly
different to Blake Hall.

"Thanks for letting me join you guys" Simon suddenly said. He pulled Tom
into a hug and kissed him. Tom smiled. He'd always liked Simon who was good
fun and he knew he'd be a great asset to the business and he was a good
personal friend. The kiss became far more passionate than either had
intended but Tom knew Simon well enough to let it continue. It caused both
to have the usual reaction and Tom felt Simon's hardness pressing against
his. It felt good and Tom ground his against Simon's as they kissed.

"Oh god; we're getting carried away" Simon laughed having pulled out of the
kiss.

"Yeah, we are; think we'd better get going before we end up stripping each
other off".

"Don't tempt me" Simon laughed and placed a hand into Tom's crotch to have
a feel of what he'd caused.


On the Friday which was moving day, the removal van first went to Soho to
collect Sam, Len and Edward's possessions. As Paul had last minute things
to wrap up with his commercial design work, Tom drove the Mercedes to Soho
with Simon. Sam had closed the coffee shop for the last time on the evening
before and put up a notice saying it was closed until further notice for
refurbishment. Regular customers were upset to hear that Sam and Edward
were leaving and doubted the new owners would provide the same level of
personal service since it would be part of a chain. Sam had agreed with the
owner that he could take the commercial coffee machine for Blake Hall since
it was not that old and the new owners were going to install new equipment,
so that now stood ready to be collected along with a good supply of coffee.

"All packed up?" Simon grinned when Sam opened the door of the flat, "The
van's just arrived". Len was jumping up and down with excitement at the
thought of moving. Most of the furniture came with the flat so there were
only a few minor items plus their personal stuff and it didn't take long to
get everything downstairs and to be packed into the van. Sam and Edward
gave the flat one last look round before finally closing the door and
popping the keys through the letterbox.

"Happy?" Edward asked.

"Yeah, very; I've enjoyed our time here but I get a feeling our new life is
going to be such more fun." He gave Edward a kiss and they made their way
downstairs where Tom, Simon and Len were waiting in the car. The van had
already left for Belsize Park where Tom and Paul's items would be
collected.

They'd said goodbye to Peter and Vanessa in the apartment upstairs the
night before. They were sorry to see Paul and Tom leave but were glad to
hear that they'd still be their Landlord. The ground floor apartment was
now with the letting agent to find a suitable tenant.

They'd decided to leave the major items of furniture at the apartment since
it was to be let furnished but there were some small pieces they wanted to
take in addition to some kitchen utensils such as Tom's smart food mixer
and a few other gadgets he and Sam felt would be useful at Blake Hall. Once
everything was packed up Tom jumped in the removal van and left the other
five to travel in Paul's car. With not much to move, the removal company
had used a small van with one driver knowing there were six strapping guys
to help. Little did they all know that the driver fancied the pants off all
the guys but did nothing apart from enjoy the view.

Finally they were on their way and Len was still excited.

"For fuck's sake Len, calm down" Sam chided him from the front seat where
he was sitting.

"He's excited, aren't you Len" Edward replied defensively and put an arm
round Len who was sitting between him and Simon. Len gave a sad nod. He
didn't like being told off by his brother.

Seeing that he was being unreasonable, Sam apologised. "Sorry Len". After
all this time he was still nervous when travelling by car even though he'd
not been there when their parents were killed.

"Apology accepted" Len giggled and placed a hand on Edward and Simon's
leg. They placed a hand on his to make him feel wanted.


The van arrived soon after they did so everybody set to and helped unload
it, dumping everything into the main entrance hall.

"Welcome to your new home guys" Paul announced once everything was inside
and the van had gone. Since their four rooms were to be decorated first,
Paul allocated them temporary rooms whilst that was done. Tom had organised
a local painter and decorator to come in on the Monday to decorate their
rooms before they moved in. When Tom told the guy that they needed
virtually the whole hall decorated, he almost jumped with joy. He'd done
work for Lord Roberts over the years so made time to do this major work for
the new Lord Roberts. It was him and his three sons in the firm and they
were all excellent painters. The sons were in their early twenties and
rather good looking although none of them were gay as far as Tom and Paul
could make out.

Once those rooms were done, they'd start on the eight guest bedrooms and
other rooms in the house. Also on that Monday, the fitters were due to
commence the refurbishment of the new kitchen area. This meant that the
whole area had to be cleared of utensils, plates, cutlery and a host of
other things that had collected over the years. Tom had organised a large
skip to be delivered which was now sitting beside the old stable block so
they could dump what was not required. In addition, a builder was due on
the Monday to start work on the building of the new office and main
entrance which involved new footings and a roof being put over the stable
yard plus other alterations. Over the weekend, they were therefore hard at
it to get things ready for the work to commence. Whilst Sam and Tom
concentrated on the kitchen area, Edward with Len's assistance cleared the
four bedrooms of old beds, furniture, carpets and curtains so the
decorators had empty rooms to work in. All carpets were being replaced
since many were well worn and most of the furniture was being disposed of
as that too was old. Paul had invited a local salesroom to come in and take
what they felt was worth putting into the next sale but most of it was
dumped. Edward found that Len worked like a trooper taking things
downstairs and he was a happy bunny. Paul and Simon worked on the old
stable block clearing that of junk. Fortunately when the horses had been
disposed of many years before the whole area had been thoroughly cleaned
but it would need new plaster board fitted, tiled and decorated before the
new hot tubs and sauna were fitted.

The heating system, pipe work and electrical systems throughout the hall
had been refurbished just a few years ago by Paul's father. A massive new
boiler had been installed in the boiler house following the demise of the
old one. It was one of the few things Paul's father had done but only
because he had to. Tom and Simon would now be responsible for the boiler
house plus odd maintenance jobs round the house. At times, Paul wondered if
everyone would cope with all they had to do but the others all assured him
they would.

"We may need a few extra fucks to energise us" Simon giggled one evening
when they were discussing things.

"Anytime Simon, anytime" Paul laughed and the others said they too were
always willing to oblige. It looked as if Simon was going to be well
serviced which made him very happy.

Whenever such banter was going on, Edward often wondered if Len thought
about sex. He was often present when such talk took place and Sam never
seemed to be concerned that he was. Len would just sit listening and grin
but never made any comment.


On the Sunday when most of the preparation for the workmen arriving the
following day had been done, Tom took Paul by the hand into the main
entrance hallway.

"Operation portrait" he giggled and asked Paul to help him get the one of
his father off the wall.

"Ah, you've found mine" Paul grinned.

"Yep, hidden away in the attic but nicely wrapped up so I guess your mother
made sure of that." Paul looked at it and smiled. He could remember sitting
for it when he was eighteen. "You look fucking gorgeous" Tom chuckled.

"Yeah, not bad am I, although I say it myself" Paul laughed.

They then lifted it onto the wall and hung it on the vacant hooks before
standing back to admire it. "Perfect" Tom said and gave his partner a kiss.

"Is that you Paul?" Len asked having watched them make the change.

"Yep, do you think he's a good looking man?" Tom smiled.

"Yeah, very sexy" Len giggled.

"So what do we do with this one?" Tom asked looking at the portrait now
leaning against the wall.

"I know what I'd like to do with it; burn it to remove the fucker from
existence."

"In that case can I do something I've always wanted to do?" Tom
laughed. Paul nodded and Tom put the portrait on the floor before jumping
up and down on it. Len thought this was great fun so joined in. By the time
they'd finished, the portrait was ruined. Paul and Tom then took the
remains into the stable yard and set fire to it.

"Good riddance you bastard" Paul muttered as they watched it go up in
flames.


The building work took three whole months to compete. The summer had been
good so when alone they all took good advantage of the absence of builders
and painters and sometimes stripped naked.

"Fuck those three sons are gorgeous" Simon exclaimed one day, "Could fuck
each one of them". The others agreed they could too.

"I'm going to cut the grass" Tom announced casually feeling himself. He'd
changed into his thong which had also become a popular garment to wear when
they were on their own.

"Can I come?" Len asked. He liked Tom and enjoyed looking at his body. When
the others had first worn their thongs he asked if he could too. Tom said
he had one he could wear so Tom was especially popular since he wasn't sure
Sam approved.

"Of course you can Len" Tom smiled and put an arm round his naked
shoulder. When they reached the outbuilding where the sit on motorised lawn
mower was stored Tom adjusted himself. He was still thinking of Simon's
comment about the three sons.

"You've gone hard" Len giggled.

"Yeah I have" Tom laughed and felt his stiff cock aching to be released.

"Can I feel?" Len grinned. Tom smiled wondering what to do. None of them
had done anything to lead Len on although he'd seen all of them naked and
possibly with an erection. "I won't tell the others" Len added sensing
Tom's reluctance.

"Why do you want a feel Len?"

"Never felt another guy's stiff cock before" Len grinned.

Tom smiled and nodded. "Not a word to the others, promise".

"Promise" Len replied and moved forward. He gingerly felt the long thick
organ through Tom's thong and then rubbed his fingers along the large
bulge. The feel of Len's hand caused him to go harder.

"Fuck" Tom muttered to himself not sure he should be encouraging Len.

"Can I feel it properly?" Len grinned. Before Tom had answered Len had
pulled the front of the thong down to expose Tom's rampant cock.

"Oh god" Tom muttered. The feel of Len's hot hand round his organ sent his
whole body into spasms. Len could sense the reaction he was having on Tom
and massaged the naked organ more. Tom soon spewed his load all over the
floor.

"Never seen another guy cum before; only seen my own" Len said
seriously. Tom looked at him and for the first time he saw a twenty year
old man enjoying his first sexual experience. Tom smiled and grabbed a rag
to clean himself up and the mess on the floor.

"So you massage yourself do you?"

"Of course, don't you?" Len grinned. "Mine's hard now; will you bring me
off please?" Tom was briefly shocked but watched Len drop his thong to
expose his erection. It was big not unlike Sam's. "I won't tell the others"
Len grinned holding out his cock inviting Tom to take hold of it. Tom
didn't want to disappoint the guy. After all, he was old enough to have
sexual needs and from what he'd heard and seen knew precisely what he
wanted. Tom took hold of the thick organ and gently massaged it using some
spit as a lubricant. Len groaned with pleasure as he felt another guy's
hand round his cock. He'd so often wanted this but had never had the
courage to ask his brother since the accident. Within a short time, Len was
spewing ribbons of creamy cum. His face was a picture of happiness and Tom
knew he'd made the right decision.

When Len was spent he looked at the pool of cum on the floor. "I'd better
clean that up I reckon" he giggled and grabbed the rag Tom had used. Having
cleaned himself he pulled up his thong and mopped up the mess on the
floor. "Thanks".

"You're welcome" Tom grinned and gave Len a kiss on the lips. Tom then felt
Len's hot tongue pressing against his lips but Tom decided enough was
enough.

"I think we'd better get on with cutting the front grass" Tom grinned.

Tom enjoyed riding the mower just wearing his thong and he enjoyed watching
Len run round in his collecting bits of grass that had missed the grass
box. The drive leading up to the house had been designed in a curve so the
main entrance was hidden from view of prying passersby. When they'd
finished and had returned the mower to its home, Len removed his
thong. "Time to strip off and let it all hang out" he laughed. Tom did the
same and went to find the others. They found them lazing naked in the sun
on the patio. Paul had purchased several sun mattresses for them and their
future guests to use.

"Hi guys" Paul called out and watched the gorgeous naked body of his
partner walk up to him before giving him a kiss. As he did so he noticed
how sexy Len looked. There was no doubt that he was a grown man.

"Hi bruv, you okay?" Len grinned at Sam.

"Fine and you?"

"Fucking brilliant" Len giggled waiting for his brother to chide him for
using that word but he didn't. Instead he gave Len a quick kiss when he lay
down beside him. Things were definitely getting better, Len decided.


Finally all the work was done. The new kitchen looked brilliant and Sam
beamed each time he used it. He had every feasible labour saving gadget he
needed. The new entrance and reception area with the office nearby had
worked out even better than Paul had imagined and the spa area was just
perfect with its ten man circular hot tub, a smaller six man tub and the
sauna cabin.

All that now remained was the S&M area but they had a couple of weeks to
finish that off. It had been decorated and a new tiled floor had been laid
so just needed the equipment.

All the guest bedrooms had been decorated and new beds installed in every
room including their own. New carpet had been laid including the quarry
tiled floor in the old entrance hall. Paul had decided it provided a cosier
look and would also absorb the piano sound when that was played. Once the
grand piano had been moved into one corner of the hall and a plush curtain
had been fitted to cover the old front door, Len rushed to give everyone a
recital. This time he played Beethoven and they all loved it. Paul had put
the electronic piano that he'd purchased for the Belsize Park apartment,
into the lounge area as that could be played with headphones so as not to
disturb others. That area had also been re-carpeted and new sofas and
chairs were now installed. The dining room still had its shiny wooden floor
but was now furnished with smart new round tables and chairs. The new
heated serving table also looked good at the end leading to the kitchen.

The original highly polished mahogany dining table had been in the family
for years but Paul said it brought back too many bad memories so he had it
collected by a dealer and sold. He used the money to purchase a solid oak
table that he placed in the old entrance hall between the stairs. It
matched the oak balustrades and hand rail so looked perfect. They'd use
that for serving coffee and tea at various times throughout the day.

They'd also had to have a lift installed to meet current legislation just
in case they had disabled guests. Fortunately it only had to go from ground
to first floor so a modern glass sided lift had been installed which fitted
neatly into one corner beside the stairs to the west wing. Tom and Paul
were the only ones who knew the overall cost of the refurbishment but Paul
was sure it was all worthwhile.

"Father's inheritance is paying for it so that should make the bastard turn
in his grave" Paul laughed.


6.

Now all the workmen had gone, everyone got down to preparing for their
first guests. Within a week of the website going live and links going on
other gay websites, bookings started to come in. They had four couples
booked in plus one single guy and then Ralph emailed to say he'd like to
come to the official opening so booked him and Terry in for three days.

"We'd better get the S&M area sorted guys" Paul announced over their meal
one evening, "because I know Ralph and Terry are into that kind of
thing". Simon said he'd look on the net and order all the equipment they'd
need. They had just one week before the official opening so it was all
hands to the deck.

Edward and Len set to work on preparing the rooms. He showed Len how to
tuck sheets in correctly and gave him a checklist of other things that had
to be done. He'd always found that once Len knew what he had to do he
followed things to the nth degree. "And don't forget Len to make sure that
when you make the beds each morning there are condoms and lube in this
little dish". Len giggled as he fingered a foil packet. Edward smiled at
him. "I take it you know what they are for" he grinned.

"Of course; I'm not stupid" Len replied defensively.

Edward took him into his arms. "I know you're not Len; just wanted to make
sure you knew; and by the way if you find used condoms on the floor just
pick them up with a tissue or with your rubber gloves on, just to be on the
safe side."

"Yeah, don't want to catch anything do we" Len giggled. Edward grinned. The
guy was more aware of things than Sam made out. "Do you and Sam get
tested?" he then blurted out.

"Yes we do, on a regular basis just to be safe; have you been tested?"

"Nope, never"

"Would you like to be?" Edward asked casually. Len nodded so Edward agreed
to take Len with them the next time they got tested.

They got round the eight new guest rooms in record time having made sure
towels, soap and little bottles of shampoo had been placed in each
bedroom's en-suite shower room and that a purple and pink runner which had
'Blake Hall' emblazoned on it, had been placed on each bed to add colour to
the otherwise white linen. On each bed they also left a neatly folded white
towelling robe and a pair of matching spa slippers for the guests to
use. These items also had the 'Blake Hall' emblem on them.

Throughout this process, they'd both worn their thongs since it was hot
work and the temperature within the whole house was now higher than it used
to be since guys would be wandering round naked or almost so. When they'd
finished the last room, Edward pulled Len into his arms to give him a
hug. "You've done a grand job Len, thank you". As he held him he let his
hands wander down over Len's naked rounded buttocks. Len leaned into him
clearly enjoying the feel of Edward's hands and moved his hands down over
Edward's naked butt to gave it a feel.

"Mm, nice" Len muttered as he pressed himself even harder against Edward's
crotch. Edward felt Len's hard cock pressing against his own which was now
rising rapidly. He paused for a moment wondering what to do. The guy in his
arms was clearly excited and wanted more. Suddenly Len kissed Edward on the
lips. It wasn't just a quick kiss. Their lips pressed together and Edward
felt Len's tongue flicking his lips. He involuntarily opened his mouth and
the tongue flicked inside. It soon became a passionate kiss and Len rubbed
his erection hard against Edward's. Before Edward knew what was happening,
Len was feeling his now fully erect cock that was straining to get out of
his thong. It was so hard that the head was already peeping above the
waistband. Len felt it and Edward's whole body shivered with
excitement. Len giggled. He knew precisely what he was doing so Edward took
the decision to let him continue rather than halt proceedings and upset
him.

Edward joined in the kiss and let his tongue flick in and out of Len's
mouth which he clearly liked. Len's hand was now inside his thong and
feeling the length of his hot organ. Suddenly Len pulled out of the kiss,
dropped to his knees and pulled the thong down Edward's legs to expose his
hard cock. Len then licked the end of it before taking it right into his
mouth. Edward gasped enjoying the feel of Len's hot mouth round his
organ. Len could taste Edward's pre-cum and sucked harder. Having all been
so busy during the past few weeks, sex had been left behind. Each night
when Sam and Edward collapsed into bed they'd kissed but hadn't made
love. As such, Edward was aching to blow his load so he let Len
continue. His needs overtook his mind. Suddenly he reached his climax and
he watched Len take the full extent of it into his mouth. Edward now had
his hands round Len's head urging him on.

Just as he had finished spewing his load of cum into Len's mouth, his
mobile buzzed. Paul had issued a Smartphone to everyone so that they could
be called wherever they were within the house. He'd installed a WiFi system
so they could each call one another using the house network system or send
a general text everyone. The phone was held in a small leather pouch which
fitted round their waist so even if they had nothing on they could still
have their phone with them. Whilst Len continued draining him, Edward
looked at the message on the screen. 'Lunch is ready so come and get it' he
read.

When Len was satisfied he'd drained Edward he looked up and grinned. Edward
lifted him up and kissed him. "Thank you, that was lovely".

"I shan't tell anybody" Len giggled. "You taste nice".

"Come on, lunch is ready" Edward grinned as he pulled up his thong and
adjusted himself. He noticed that Len still had an erection but that would
have to wait.

"Ah, here you are" Sam grinned when they joined the others in the dining
room. "You're looking happy with yourself" he added as Len sat down.

"We've finished getting the guest rooms ready, haven't we Edward"

"Yep, all done and this guy has worked like a Trojan and done a brilliant
job." Everyone congratulated Len and tucked into the sandwiches that Sam
had prepared.

As they ate, Simon said he'd ordered everything for the S&M room and it
would be delivered in two days. He then listed what he'd ordered with
Paul's approval. "A St Andrew's cross, a fuck bench, a sling, a range of
whips and spanking paddles and several large dildos".

"Fuck, sounds awesome" Tom laughed, "You're going to have fun looking after
that room Simon".

"I can guess what a fuck bench is used for" Len piped up, "But what's a St
Andrew's cross?"

Everyone looked at him for a moment and then at Sam who remained
silent. "It's a wooden cross that leans against the wall" Edward explained
"and a guy is spread eagled naked on it using wrist and ankle
restraints. If he's spread eagled facing the wall then his mate will whip
his arse before fucking him; if he faces out then his naked body is lightly
whipped and his cock is sucked."

"Wow, sounds exciting" Len grinned, "So the guy on the cross can't move".

"Nope, he's at the mercy of others" Simon laughed. Sam gave Simon a black
look as if he didn't agree with Len being told these things. Edward noted
the look and decided he needed to speak to Sam about Len.


It had been agreed amongst them that they'd clean their own rooms and
change their bed linen each week. Paul had negotiated with a local laundry
service to launder all bed linen and towels so they only had to wash their
clothes using the large washing machine and drier situated in a small room
near the kitchen. Edward said he and Len would do their three rooms in the
west wing and Tom and Simon said they'd do theirs in the east wing.

After lunch, Edward and Len went upstairs to do their suite of rooms. They
first cleaned the bathroom the three of them shared and whilst Len cleaned
the toilet and basin, Edward washed down the tiles of the shower area. Paul
had converted each bathroom into a wet room which made it easier to
clean. Once done, Len said he'd clean his own room whilst Edward did his
and Sam's room. When Edward had finished and also cleaned the corridor
leading up to the door that closed off the private quarters to the guest
rooms, he popped his head into Len's room to see how he was doing. "Come to
inspect?" Len giggled.

"Do I need to?" Edward teased him.

"No, but you can if you want".

Edward walked in and noted how tidy and clean everything looked. "Well
done; it looks good." Len grinned and casually picked up a photo frame from
the chest of drawers. Edward moved over and looked at the photo over his
shoulder. He'd not seen it before. "Are they your parents?" he asked gently
not wanting to upset Len.

"Yes, it was taken whilst we were on holiday the year before they died.

Edward looked at the picture more closely and realised that Sam had no such
photo on display in their room. "You have your dad's eyes and Sam has your
mum's" Edward said quietly. It was the first time he'd ever heard Len
mention his parents.

"Do you think so?" Len smiled and looked closer.

"Your mum was a beautiful woman and your dad was a very attractive guy"

"Yeah, like me" Len giggled.

Edward placed a hand on Len's naked shoulder which sent a shudder of
excitement through Len's body. "You must miss them very much".

"Yes" Len replied and gently kissed the picture. "I think of them a lot
when I'm alone and sometimes I dream about them when we were a happy family
having fun".

"Does that terrible day ever give you nightmares" Edward asked gingerly.

"At first but to be honest the two years after that time are really a
blank; I can remember quite clearly my life before then and I can remember
clearly the last two years but that period has gone. Sam feels guilty that
he wasn't there; he feels he should have been for some reason."

Edward could understand that knowing Sam was still having difficulty coping
with the loss of his parents and that was why he felt so protective towards
his brother. Suddenly Len put the photo back down and turned towards
Edward. He wrapped his arms round Edward and hugged him tight. As before,
Len's body reacted and Edward could feel a hard cock pressing against
his. "Would you suck me off?" Len asked with a look of desire. Edward felt
he couldn't refuse, especially after Len having sucked him off before
lunch. He grinned and dropped to his knees pulling Len's thong down his
legs.

He licked the large head and then moved his tongue down inside the
foreskin. Len gasped as he felt Edward's hot tongue do its work. He then
took Len all the way to the back of his throat and at the same time pushed
a finger into him having used spit to lubricate it. He decided to fully
pleasure Len. Edward pushed his finger against Len's prostate and he arched
back, rocking in time with Edward's suck of his cock. Len all but howled
when Edward curled his fingers inside him. His resistance didn't last as he
fucked Edward's mouth. The bitter salty taste on Edward's tongue became
richer. Edward gave one deep push with his finger and Len's cock pulsed.

When Len was fully spent, Edward looked up and grinned. "Did you enjoy that
then?"

"Fucking brilliant; thanks" and then added as an afterthought "I won't tell
Sam".

"Best not" Edward grinned as he pulled Len's thong back up to cover him
before giving him a light kiss on the lips. One thing he knew for sure was
that he needed to talk to someone about Len.

Edward left Len in his room and set off to find Tom. "Where are you?"
Edward asked when Tom answered his phone.

"In the attic; I'm doing some reorganisation; come on up"

Edward climbed the backstairs, which had now been painted and carpeted
since guests could be going up there to use the new large bathroom that had
been formed from his and Tom's old room. A wet room had been installed with
two large baths and a shower area. The general feeling was that this could
become an area where guys had sex but they were coming to have fun so why
not.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm clearing out this room to make into a studio for Paul; he doesn't know
yet so it will be a surprise; it's got a north facing roof light so will be
perfect; I want him to be able to relax once we're up and running; besides,
he might persuade guys to let him paint them in the nude for a fee" Tom
added laughing.

"Sounds a brilliant idea; what have you done with all the stuff that was in
here?"

Tom grinned and led Edward into the room next door. "I've put up shelving
and reorganised everything to make it easier to find things; most of this
stuff is family archives going back almost three hundred years but it's
been allowed to gather dust so I've cleaned everything, put dust covers
over the important stuff and tried to make an inventory of everything."

"Wow, you really have been a busy poof; wondered where you got to each
afternoon."

"Yeah, well, I'm almost finished now so was deciding what needed to be done
to the new studio."

They walked back in and pondered for a moment. "It could do with a lick of
paint really" Edward commented. Tom agreed and said the decorator had left
a large can of paint he'd used for the other rooms so perhaps they could
use that. Edward said he'd be happy to give a hand.

"Anyhow, did you want me?"

"Yeah, have you noticed a difference in Len recently?" Tom looked at Edward
for a moment wondering exactly what he meant. "He seems to be acting more
like a twenty year old recently". Tom agreed and thought back to what
occurred between him and Len a few weeks before.

"Do you have anything particular in mind?" Tom asked not wanting to mention
they'd brought each other off. Edward nodded and said that Len had sucked
him off before lunch and asked him to suck Len off just now. "Wow, so he's
suddenly getting interested in sex" Tom laughed and told Edward about his
experience.

"The problem is that Sam seems to think Len is stuck in his childhood
memories following the accident but Len says he has a blank for the two
years following the accident but can remember clearly the past two
years. He's twenty for fucks sake, in fact coming on twenty one so it's not
surprising he has sexual needs and he's also made it quite clear that those
needs are homosexual. When I asked if he had girlfriends when he was
younger he laughed and said no way. I'm wondering what to do Tom because
once we've got hot naked guys wandering round poor Len is going to feel
frustrated if he thinks his brother doesn't approve of him experimenting."

"Len still has childlike periods though doesn't he?"

Edward agreed but felt they were far less than they used to be and far less
since they'd lived at the hall. "I think he cocooned himself when he spent
his whole day in that coffee shop; now he can expand his mind."

"In more ways than one by the sound of things" Tom laughed. "What was it
like to suck him off and be sucked off by him?" Tom grinned.

"You'll have to find out for yourself" Edward grinned and pulled Tom into
an embrace. Edward liked Tom and since returning to the hall they'd
frequently had odd fumbles. Tom immediately kissed him and it soon became
passionate with tongues darting back and forth. They could both feel their
bodies reacting as it always did and ground their hard cocks against each
other.

"Fuck, that feels so good; I'm so glad Paul decided to move back here" Tom
exclaimed.

"Mm, not so sure either Paul or Sam would approve of us being quite so
personal with each other."

"Paul is relaxed about it; he knows I love him to bits and anything I do
with anyone else is purely sex."

"Lucky you; just wish Sam would relax more and enjoy what is around him."

"Then we'll have to teach him how" Tom laughed and felt down inside
Edward's thong. Edward gasped as Tom's warm hand surrounded his
erection. "Mm, I think I'd like to feel this inside me" Tom grinned.

"You naughty boy" Edward laughed, "Got any lube?"

"Plenty in the bathroom" Tom grinned and led Edward along the
corridor. They discarded their thongs and Tom dispensed some lube into his
hand from the wall dispenser. Paul had thought of everything! "Now bend
over that bath you slut so I can fuck your arse" Tom giggled. Edward duly
obliged offering himself. He felt Tom first finger him and then felt his
thick cock slowly makes its way inside him. They'd long ago dispensed with
protection between each other. "Oh yes, that is beautiful" Tom groaned and
he slowly thrust in and out.

"Yeah, fucking gorgeous" Edward groaned enjoying the feel of Tom's cock up
his arse.

Tom didn't take long to deposit his seed but continued fucking for a couple
more minutes until he was fully spent. He pulled out and gave Edward's
naked butt a good slap. "Now I want to feel you inside me" he
laughed. Edward was up for that in more ways than one so bent Tom over the
bath and gave him a good fingering. Once nicely opened up, he thrust his
rampant organ into the open hole. "Oh god, yes, that feels so good" Tom
exclaimed.

Whilst Edward was busy fucking, their mobiles buzzed. They both groaned as
Tom grabbed hold of his and read the message. "Paul wants us downstairs for
a staff meeting in ten minutes".

"He'll have to wait won't he" Edward laughed, "I'm not stopping this fuck
until I've shot my load". Tom laughed and continued to enjoy Edward's
thrusts. He loved Edward's thick cock inside him every bit as much as he
enjoyed Paul's but this was pure unadulterated sex and had to be enjoyed
every bit as much as making love. At least that's how he justified what he
was doing!


"Here you are" Paul grinned when Tom and Edward finally appeared, "Where
have you two been?"

"Sorting things out in the attic" Tom said with a deadpan face. He didn't
dare look at Edward who he knew would have a grin on his face.

"Right, just wanted to go through a few things in readiness for the
official opening" Paul started.

He first detailed the procedure for booking in guests. Although he planned
to do that most times he wanted everyone to know what to do. Since on their
opening day most guests were likely to arrive at around the same time
during the afternoon, he asked Tom and Edward to show them their rooms once
he'd booked them in. They'd be invited to gather downstairs in the old main
entrance hall for a champagne reception at five. Paul would hand out the
drinks and Simon would go round with canapés prepared by Sam. Len would
play a selection of music on the piano.

He then went through the guest list and explained the only two they knew
were Ralph and Terry. "All guests of course must receive an excellent
service but these two are particularly important because they know loads of
guys who will be interested in coming here so make sure they are given
everything they need."

"Everything?" Simon chuckled.

"Yes Simon, if necessary" Paul laughed knowing exactly what Simon was
referring to. "Okay then, now to talk about what we'll all be wearing
whilst on duty."

Tom held up a skimpy pair of purple pull on shorts. They looked more like a
pair of tight fitting boxer shorts which would hide little from the
imagination. "Paul and I feel we should all wear these plus one of the
white T shirts whilst serving in the dining room". The T shirt he held up
was short and would show a band of naked flesh round the waist. A pair of
black deck shoes were passed round which were to be worn with these items.

"What you wear beneath the shorts is up to you" Paul chuckled but everyone
got the message that the less worn the better for the enjoyment of the
guests. "At other times whilst on duty you can either wear that garb or
these" he grinned as he held up a pink thong. All items had a discrete
Blake Hall emblem printed on them.

"Very sexy" Simon laughed.

"That's the idea" Edward grinned. Sam pointed out that whenever working in
the kitchen they had to wear catering whites to protect their bits which
caused a titter round the table.

Paul next talked about the procedure at meal times. He explained that for
breakfast and lunch the guests would help themselves from the serving table
which would be manned by two of them. "However, Sam, Tom and I have decided
that it would be better if we served the evening meal so for the day of
opening Sam and Tom will be in the kitchen, Edward and I will serve the
eleven guests at their tables and Simon and Len will man the serving table
from where we will collect orders.

"And for fucks sake Len don't knock anything over or drop things" Sam said.

"I'm not a fucking idiot" Len replied defensively.

"Of course you're not Len" Paul said trying to calm things down.

"Sam thinks I am an idiot; he always does, I'm fed up with it". He jumped
up and went to sit at another table with his back to everyone. Edward could
see he was upset and glared at Sam as if to say 'now look what you've
done'.

"I'm sorry Len, I didn't mean to upset you" Sam said as he rushed over to
his brother.

"Then why say it?" Len threw back at him. Good point Tom thought as he and
the others watched Sam go on his knees trying to calm Len down.

"I'm sorry Len; it was a stupid thing to say; will you forgive me?" Sam had
now taken his brother into his arms and Len had tears running down his
face. The others said nothing as they watched things unfold. "You're not an
idiot but at times you have a tendency to be careless."

"Only because you always expect me to do something wrong so I try hard not
to but end up doing so"

Edward smiled to himself. Len was right; Sam did always expect the
worst. For a few moments the two brothers hugged each other whilst Len
calmed down. When his tears had stopped, Sam kissed him lightly on the
lips. "I love you Len; you know that and I know at times I'm over
protective of you but you're the only family I have and I need you to be
safe." Len smiled and kissed his brother back. Eventually they returned to
the table where the others were still sitting.

"We all love you Len" Simon said once Len had sat down beside him and Sam
had returned to his seat.

"That goes for all of us Len" Paul added. "We are a team and you're a very
important part of that team."

"Thank you" Len smiled at Paul and then looked at Sam as if to say 'See,
the others don't think I'm an idiot." Sam said nothing realising he'd
overstepped the mark with his brother.

"Once we have guests here it's going to be stressful for all of us to begin
with until we settle down into our respective roles; especially Sam who has
to come up with delicious meals for everyone so we must support each
other." Everyone nodded and Paul said how important it was for everyone to
make sure they had rest breaks during the day but to ensure someone else
was always around in case guests needed something. "Bearing in mind we'll
be a seven day a week operation we must all make sure we have at least one
day off each week so that we can relax, go out or do whatever you want. Tom
has produced a rota for him and Sam to run the kitchen, and another rota
for housekeeping and management of the spa area."

Having determined nobody had any questions he called the meeting to a
close. "I feel like a nice soak in the hot tub" Paul grinned. Simon, Len
and Tom said they would join him so left Edward and Sam sitting at the
table. Edward knew he needed to talk to Sam about Len before things got
worse between them.

"Are you okay my love?" Edward asked holding Sam's hands. Sam nodded but
Edward was not convinced.

"I'm sorry about that outburst with Len but I worry about him"

"Don't be so hard on him, he's moved on considerably during the past three
months; haven't you noticed?"

"Has he?"

Edward then told Sam about his earlier conversation with Len in his room
and how they'd talked about Sam and Len's parents.

"He's got a photo of them?" Sam gasped knowing how Len had reacted to
seeing pictures of their parents shortly after the accident.

"Yes, and he says he thinks about them almost every day and often dreams
about the happy times you all had together; he says the two years following
the accident are a blank but he can clearly remember his early years and
the past two years; he's moved on Sam and you need to do the same; I know
you still miss them terribly and probably always will but Len is beginning
to deal with it; okay he admits he sometimes reverts to childish things but
he's acting more like a twenty year old now and he has the needs of an
adult."

Sam looked at Edward unsure what he meant. "Physical and emotional needs"
Edward added and then explained what had happened earlier.

"You mean he sucked you off?"

"Yes, he asked if he could do so because when we'd finished preparing the
rooms and I took him into my arms to congratulate him for the fantastic job
he'd done he kissed me and it became rather passionate. Before I knew what
was happening he was feeling me and pressing his erection against mine. He
then asked if he could suck me off. I could have refused but I didn't want
to make him feel unwanted. He has sexual feelings and needs them
satisfied."

Sam sat there hardly believing what he was hearing. Since the accident he'd
never imagined his brother would have those feelings again.

"Did you know he was gay?" Edward asked. Sam nodded saying Len had come out
to their parents when he was fifteen. Sam had come out to them two years
before he did so they frequently sucked each other off after that.

"Has he done anything with anyone else?" Sam asked. Edward nodded and told
him about what had happened with Tom. "Fuck, I really have fucked up with
him haven't I?"

"No you haven't; you've looked after him all these years and done a
fantastic job to keep him safe but you now need to recognise he's moving on
and is far more capable than you give him credit for."

"Is he going to be safe once we have guys wandering round naked no doubt
looking for sex?"

Edward smiled. "Yes he is; we've talked about safe sex and what to do if he
receives unwanted attention; I've also told him that he can always press
the emergency button on his phone if necessary."

"Thanks" Sam smiled, "Seems everyone else is more aware of his needs than I
am". He then pulled Edward into a passionate kiss which caused the usual
reaction for both of them.

"Come on, let's join the others for a soak in the hot tub" Edward grinned
when the kiss ended. Sam nodded and they walked hand in hand round to the
spa area.

When they got there they found all four guys sitting in the tub laughing
and joking with each other. Edward climbed in and Sam sat on the edge of
the tub with his legs dangling in the water.

"How about sucking me off" he said to Len with a big wide grin, "I hear
you're rather good at it". Len looked at Edward before standing in front of
his brother and going down on him. The others watched as Len took Sam's
stiff cock into his mouth and started sucking. Paul then climbed onto the
edge and asked Simon to suck his erection. Not wanting to be left out, Tom
did the same and asked Edward to suck his. There was then a period of
groans and moans of pleasure as three cocks were serviced. Suddenly Sam
gasped. "I'm gonna come" he shouted. Len increased the pace of his sucking
and brought his brother to a climax. His brother's man juice tasted like
nectar and his mind flashed back to when they'd done this at home together.

"Fuck, I'm coming" Paul gasped as Edward brought him to a satisfactory
conclusion. Tom soon followed and Edward did the same to him.

Once all three guys had been satisfied, Paul suggested they turn the tables
and suck off the other three but this time he said he'd suck Len off whilst
Tom sucked off Sam and Simon sucked off Edward. Len looked at his brother
to see his reaction but all he received was a big grin as acknowledgement
that he was happy for the action to take place. More groans and moans were
heard as each guy was pleasured until eventually they shot their load.

"Time to start the evening meal I think" Sam said once the action had
ceased and they'd dried off. Tom said he'd help him so they walked off
naked towards the kitchen to dress in their whites. Paul said he had some
paperwork to do so the other three walked naked into the lounge
area. Edward unlocked the drinks cabinet and prepared several gin and
tonics. Len said he'd take Paul's into him which he did carefully so as not
to spill it.

As Len walked in Paul admired Len's nakedness. "Thanks Len, are you okay
now?" Len nodded and carefully placed the drink onto Paul's desk. Once done
Paul gently rubbed his hand over Len's naked butt. Len automatically moved
up close to Paul. "We all love you very much; you know that don't you."

Len nodded and grinned. "I love all of you too".

"So you're happy here are you?"

Len again nodded. "Yeah, I love it here and cant' wait for the guests to
start arriving."

Paul smiled. "So you're looking forward to seeing lots of hot naked guys
are you" he chuckled.

"You bet" Len giggled and left Paul to his paperwork. He went back to the
living room and Edward suggested he play the electronic piano. Len giggled
at the thought of playing the piano stark naked. He sat down and
immediately played one of his favourites songs called 'Stay with me' by Sam
Smith. Edward and Simon never ceased to be amazed at Len's musical ability
as they listened. Len grinned at them. Life was definitely looking good and
his brother didn't seem that bothered about Len having sex with other
guys. All he now needed was to be fucked and to do it, since he was still a
virgin in that department.


7.

Everything was now ready for the guests to arrive with the exception of
provisions which Sam wanted to purchase at the last minute. "I'm going out
shopping with Tom and Edward this morning" Sam told Len after they'd
finished breakfast.

"How long will you be?"

"A couple of hours or so because I need to go to the market and various
other places; will you be okay here with Simon?"

"Of course" Len replied indignantly as if he was a child and couldn't be
left. Sam smiled and gave his brother a quick peck on the cheek telling him
to be good. Len smiled to himself. He had a plan in his mind and he wasn't
sure it came into the category of being good. Paul had also gone out to
deal with estate business and had said he'd be out for the whole morning so
that left just him and Simon and he planned to make good use of their time
alone.

As soon as he saw the three guys drive off in the Land Rover Discovery that
Paul had recently purchased for Tom and Edward to use when necessary, he
sidled up to Simon.

"Hello gorgeous" Simon said once he felt Len's arm round his waist.

"Do you really think I'm gorgeous?" Len giggled.

"Yeah, I do" Simon grinned guessing that Len was up to something.

"Do you fancy me?"

"You mean would I have sex with you?" Simon grinned. The thought had gone
through his mind on countless occasions since they'd lived together but
he'd never acted upon his urges because he didn't want to make Len feel
uncomfortable and he wasn't sure whether Sam would approve since he was so
protective towards his brother.

"Yes; would you fuck me?"

"Fuck you?" Simon replied somewhat surprised.

"Yeah, I've never been fucked and I want to know what it's like; would
you?"

"And what would Sam say if he found out?"

"He's not my keeper" Len replied indignantly, "Don't you fancy fucking me?"

Simon grinned and took Len into his arms. "Of course I do although I'm more
of a bottom than a top"

"But you fuck as well don't you?" Len giggled and slipped a hand down into
Simon's crotch. They were both wearing pull on shorts with nothing on
beneath so it didn't take long for Simon to react as Len had hoped.

"You're sure about this" Simon asked as his whole body shook at the thought
of fucking this beautiful guy. His cock was already hard and ready to go
with Len's encouragement and as Len pressed his body against Simon, he
could feel that Len too was rearing to go.

"Quite sure" Len nodded and slipped a hand down the back of Simon's shorts
as he continued to feel the reaction he'd caused at the front. Simon
gasped. "Your room or mine?"

"Yours" Len grinned and immediately led Simon by the hand up to his
room. Once there they closed the door and stripped naked. Len led Simon
over to the bed and asked him to lie down on his back so he could suck him
first. He wanted him nice and hard. Simon had other ideas so told Len to
kneel across his chest with his back to him. As soon as Len was in
position, Simon grasped Len's buttocks and pulled them apart. He gazed at
the beautiful entrance before gently running a finger across it. Len sighed
as he bent over and grasped Simon's cock to start sucking it. The sigh
turned into a moan when Simon licked a line along the back of his balls to
his crack. He circled his tongue around the edge of Len's hole, teasing the
clenched ring of muscle. Len shuddered as he continued sucking Simon's long
thin cock. He felt Simon probe his opening with the tip if his tongue,
slicking it enough to push in a finger. Simon continued to tease Len whilst
thrusting his finger in and out.

"Oh god" Len exclaimed having had to pull off Simon's cock for a
moment. The feel of a finger inside his arse was the most wonderful thing
he'd ever experienced. The finger then bent inside him and pressed against
his prostate. He gave a series of pleasurable moans as he continued sucking
Simon's cock. All the while he could feel Simon gently squeezing his balls
and running a hand along his erect cock which was getting more and more
excited.

Suddenly Simon slapped Len's naked butt and told him to climb off him. Len
did so and went on all fours at the end of the bed just like he'd been
told. Simon stood at the end of the bed and pulled Len's legs wide apart so
his beautiful hole opened up. Len felt totally exposed and he loved it. His
whole body shivered with excitement in anticipation of what was about to
happen. He'd read stories about guys being fucked and he'd watched porn but
to now experience it first hand was the best thing he'd ever done. He
waited whilst Simon lubricated his shaft knowing that protection wouldn't
be used because none of them did between themselves. He felt Simon pull his
whole body towards him and then the head of his cock press against his
entrance.

"Just relax and it won't hurt too much; but shout if you want me to
stop". Len nodded impatient for Simon to start fucking. Simon gently pushed
the head of his cock up to the hole. He watched it slowly go in and felt
Len pushing his body towards him impatient to feel the whole organ inside
him. "Okay?" Len nodded gasping at the wonderful feel of Simon's naked
flesh inside him. He soon felt Simon's body press against his butt so knew
he now had the whole length inside him. He'd specifically chosen Simon
because he knew he wasn't as big as the other guys, even assuming they'd
have agreed, which he doubted.

"Fuck, that feels so good" Len exclaimed as Simon slowly moved in and out.

"It sure does; you've got a fucking gorgeous arse to fuck" Simon
gasped. Even though he much preferred being fucked, this felt wonderful,
especially knowing that he was fucking a virgin arse.

The action continued for several minutes before Simon felt his body
tense. "You want me to come inside you?" he gasped. Len nodded so he
continued fucking until he felt his seed shoot to fill Len up. Once he was
spent, he gently pulled out and kissed Len's back. "How was that?"

"Fucking brilliant" Len grinned, "Can I fuck you now?"

"Of course; I told you I'm normally a bottom and love cock so get fucking"
Simon laughed. They changed places and Simon told Len to lubricate his
shaft and finger Simon before gently pushing inside him. Len followed the
instructions to the letter and lined the large head of his cock up against
Simon's hole. Looking at the size of his cock and the hole he had to
penetrate he wondered how the hell it would fit but he gently pushed up
against it and felt it give way and accept him with ease. "Yeah, stick that
big cock inside me and give me a good long hard fuck" Simon groaned. The
feel of Len's hardness inside him was just beautiful. Len giggled and
gradually increased his pace until he was slamming back and forth. He'd
wanted it to last longer but he was too impatient and he soon felt his
climax upon him.

"Oh fuck, I'm gonna cum" he cried out.

"Yeah, fill me up babe; want to feel your hot spunk inside me." Len giggled
and increased the pace some more until his body took over and he shot his
load. Once done, he continued thrusting in and out because he loved the
feel of his flesh rubbing against Simon's. At last he'd been fucked and
fucked. It was the most wonderful moment in his life.

Finally he pulled out and Simon turned round. They kissed passionately for
a few moments enjoying the afterglow. Simon then led Sam into his bathroom
and they showered together. They'd just finished drying off when they heard
the other guys drive in. They hastily slipped their T shirt and shorts back
on and rushed downstairs. By the time they reached the door leading into
the backyard, the three guys were beginning to unload the Land Rover.

"You're looking very pleased with yourself, what have you been up to?" Sam
grinned as he gave his brother a kiss on the cheek.

"Nothing" Len blushed but Sam was too busy unloading meat and vegetables to
notice. Edward looked at Simon and smiled having noticed his damp hair. He
had a shrewd idea what the guys had been up to but said nothing.


The following afternoon the first guests arrived. They were two couples who
knew each other. "Welcome to Blake Hall guys" Paul said as they walked
in. The guys all beamed and gave Paul a good look over in his tight purple
shorts and white T shirt. He booked them in and issued each with a wrist
band that incorporated a micro key card for their room. Tom had found these
on the net. They were perfect since it saved guests having to carry around
a normal key card when they didn't have a pocket to place it in. They were
also waterproof so they could be worn in the hot tubs and the shower.

"As it's our first day of opening, you're invited to a champagne reception
at five in the main entrance hall", Paul told the guys. He then asked Tom
and Edward, who'd now appeared, to show the guests to rooms W1 and W2. On
seeing the two guys dressed in just a thong, the four guests gasped.

"Wow, can see we're going to enjoy our stay here" one of them said giving
both guys a good eying over. They then followed the two scantily dressed
guys into the main house and up the stairs to the west wing.

"This is some place", one of the other guys exclaimed, as they made their
way into the old entrance hall and saw the chandelier and the grand
piano. They followed Tom and Edward upstairs, admiring their naked butts as
they went.

"So are you guys always dressed like this?" another guy asked itching to
touch the naked flesh just in front of him.

"Quite a lot of the time" Tom replied.

"Fuck, this is going to be such fun I can see" the guy replied.


A while later the single guy arrived. His name was Ray and was twenty
two. He was a very attractive mixed race guy. This time Tom was asked to
show the guest to his room. On seeing Tom, Ray felt his whole body
react. He was so tempted to feel Tom's naked arse as they walked up the
stairs to room E1 in the east wing.

Ralph and Terry arrived shortly after and gave Paul a big hug.

"You look as gorgeous as ever" Ralph laughed, "And I love those sexy purple
shorts" he giggled. Terry was more subdued with his welcome but gave Paul a
kiss and a quick hug. Edward showed them to room W4 in the west wing and
Ralph just had to have a feel of Edward's naked butt before he left
them. Each room had been fitted with a smart brass plate showing the room
number and the main rooms downstairs had the same signage. A folder
detailing the facilities and where they were all located had also been
placed in each room plus the usual checking out information and fire
procedures. Telephones had also been installed in each room so guests could
make external calls and contact reception or another room. Paul had tried
to think of everything to make everyone's stay memorable. Ralph noted where
the S&M room was situated and told Terry that they'd make good use of that
during their stay. Terry in particular loved being spanked and then fucked
in a sling so they couldn't wait to see what equipment Paul had installed.


At five, all the guests made their way into the main entrance hall where
Len was already playing the piano to provide background music. Paul was
pleased to see that they'd all stripped down to a thong, skimpy shorts or
in Ray's case, a towel. Edward served glasses of champagne whilst Simon
wandered round with a platter of canapés. They were both dressed in
their thongs so received several pats on their naked butt. Sam and Tom were
busy in the kitchen preparing the evening meal. Paul welcomed everyone and
said a few words about why he'd opened a gay spa resort. He listed the
facilities on offer including an erotic massage for those that wanted one
at a small additional charge and explained that Tom and Simon would be
available later if anyone was interested. Ray said he'd certainly enjoy one
later so was booked in with Simon after the evening meal.


At seven everyone trooped into the dining room and sat down to enjoy their
meal. Despite Sam's concern, the meal was beautiful and everyone commented
on how nice it was. They had a choice of a chicken pate or a vegetable soup
to start with, followed by roast beef with roast potatoes, roasted turnips
and green beans or a vegetarian pie for the two guys who were not meat
eaters. The dessert was fruit salad or lemon cheesecake followed by coffee
or tea.

"Wow, need a long run to work that great meal off" one guy commented as
they made their way into the lounge area.

"You can give me a good long hard fuck then" his boyfriend giggled, "That
will work it off".

"You'll get that in any event mate" the other one laughed.

Having had sufficient time for Ray's meal to settle down, Simon went to
find him for his erotic massage. Simon had done one or two of these for
friends before now but never for a paying guest so he was slightly nervous,
although it didn't show. They'd set up two massage mats in what used to be
the library so that if two guests wanted to have one together they could
do. All the old books had been removed and most of the shelving. The room
looked quite different from when Paul's father used it as his personal
study. Even so, Paul grinned when he first walked in to see it finished and
put two fingers up in the air. "Up yours you bastard if you're looking
down" he laughed.

Simon had prepared everything so a towel was laid out on one of the massage
mats with warmed body oil at hand plus a bowl of condoms and lube should
they be necessary. As soon as Ray walked in he removed his towel and flung
it to one side. Simon asked him to lie face down on the mat since he'd
first work on his back.

"Do you do it naked?" Ray asked hopefully.

"Of course" Simon grinned and immediately removed his thong.

"Mm, nice" Ray commented having admired Simon's nakedness.

"And what does the erotic bit include?"

"Whatever you want" Simon replied as he straddled Ray's naked butt and
commenced massaging his shoulders. "Wank, suck, fuck; whatever rocks your
boat".

"Great; would love a fuck" Ray replied as he enjoyed the feel of Simon's
naked body across his and the firm hands massaging his shoulders.

Simon slowly worked his way down Ray's back and when he reached the plump
buttocks, ran a finger along the crack. Ray groaned with pleasure and felt
his body tingle. Simon worked his way down each leg making sure to take his
fingers right into Ray's crotch each time. Every so often, he slipped his
hands beneath Ray's abdomen and felt the hard cock that was already
evident. Before asking Ray to turn over, he used a well lubricated finger
and gently pressed it into Ray's hole.

"Oh yeah, fuck that feels so good" Ray groaned. Simon ran his now hard
organ along the crack and teased the hole.

"Okay, turn over and I'll do your front". Ray turned and immediately
noticed Simon's erection. He held it and gave it a squeeze.

"Yeah, very nice"

Simon again straddled Ray's body and massaged his shoulders right down to
his waist before working on each leg. Ray's cock bobbed up and down each
time Simon's hands reached into his crotch and felt his balls. Every so
often, Simon stroked the long thick cock which made it jump to
attention. Ray loved the way Simon massaged and made a mental note to have
another one the next day. When the massage was complete, Simon slipped on a
condom. Ray automatically lifted his legs up over his chest to expose his
hole. Having lubricated his shaft he moved forward and Ray watched as
Simon's slim cock penetrated him. Once fully inside he gave a long moan of
satisfaction.

"Yeah, that feels beautiful; now give me a good hard fuck". Simon duly
obliged and slammed in and out. Using a condom kept him going longer so Ray
got his money's worth. As he fucked, Simon massaged Ray's weeping cock. He
wanted to try and synchronise their climaxes if he could. He felt his own
almost at that point of no return so slowed down until he could tell that
Ray was about to shoot.

"Ah, fuck" Ray cried out and Simon watched ribbons of white creamy cum
shoot over his chest. He increased his thrusts and was soon releasing his
load. Once complete, he pulled out, slipped off the condom and tossed it to
one side. Ray glanced at it and saw it had been well used. "Let me suck you
dry" Ray grinned and pulled Simon onto his cum covered chest so he could
reach Simon's cock. He took the whole organ into his mouth and sucked
away. Simon knew what would happen but he was happy to let it. Within a few
minutes he could feel a second climax rising and after a few more deep
throated sucks he shot another load into Ray's mouth. "Thanks, that was
fucking beautiful" Ray grinned once he'd finished. "Perhaps tomorrow
morning I can have another massage; any chance of fucking you next time?"
Simon said he'd ride Ray's cock. He needed to be in control when with a guy
he didn't really know.

After he'd showered, Ray went to sit in the lounge area. "What was your
massage like?" one of the two guys sitting there asked.

"Fucking brilliant; you should have one; Simon was great; he's giving me
another tomorrow morning."

The guy said he'd like one too so Ray suggested they have one together.

After Simon had showered he put his head into the hot tub room. The other
couple were in the big tub kissing and cuddling. He left them to it and
moved into the S&M room where he found Ralph busy fucking Terry in the
sling. Len was watching as Ralph's big thick cock slammed into Terry.

"How about one of you guys offering your cock to Terry to suck whilst I
fuck him" Ralph grinned. Simon looked at Len who nodded so Terry was
released from the sling and bent over the end of the fuck bench. Len sat
astride the bench so that Terry could suck him. Before fucking him again,
Ralph invited Simon to use a spanking paddle on Terry's arse. "Give it to
him nice and hard" Ralph laughed, "I want it nice and red before I fuck
him". Simon did just that rather enjoying the sound of each swipe he gave
Terry who groaned as he sucked Len's thick cock. When the butt was glowing
nicely, Ralph fucked him whilst Simon watched the action.


8.

The following morning Edward and Len divided the four guest rooms between
them for bed making duties. When Len had finished the one he'd been
assigned in the west wing he went round to Ray's in the east wing. As
instructed by Edward he knocked on the door first before using his pass key
to go in. To his surprise a voice said "Come in". Len pondered wondering
whether he should or not and whilst he was doing so the door opened. "Come
on in Len; I take it you want to do my room". Len nodded as he gazed at
Ray's naked body. His brown body really turned him on and he took
particular notice of the almost black cock that hung down between two
equally nice dark brown balls. Ray smiled seeing Len's interest and placed
an arm round him. "Come on in, I don't bite".

Len giggled and walked in. "I'll tidy up the bathroom first if that's okay"
he said and made straight for it. The sight of Ray's naked body had already
caused him to fill out his thong which hadn't gone unnoticed by Ray.

"Sure, don't worry about me" Ray chuckled and stood at the doorway watching
Len at work. He'd taken note of Len the previous day and decided he'd see
if he could persuade him to have some fun. "You've got a nice butt" Ray
commented as Len bent over to give the toilet a quick clean.

Len blushed but continued his task. "Thanks".

"I bet you like having that fucked"

"Yeah" Len grinned having now turned round. Ray could see the reaction he
was having on Len. His cock was filling his thong so much that it was
almost spilling out. Len tried to ignore it whilst he gave the basin a
quick wipe round and tidied things up. The towels were on the rail to
indicate that Ray didn't want them changed. If he did then they'd be left
on the floor. Having completed the bathroom, Len moved towards the bed. Ray
moved to one side but as Len passed he placed a hand on Len's bulge.

"Now that is a nice cock" Ray grinned. Len stopped wondering what to
do. Edward had said things like this might happen and it was up to Len to
decide what to do. If he didn't want the attention then he just had to
smile sweetly and gently brush the guy's hand away. If he was persistent
then he'd leave or if necessary press the alarm button on his phone. The
problem was, Len rather enjoyed the attention. From the little he'd seen of
Ray he liked him and Simon had said he was a nice bloke after he'd given
him an erotic massage. He therefore let Ray feel him and just smiled. Ray
took that to mean he was willing so sank down to his knees and pulled Ray's
thong off of him. The hard cock sprang up and Ray took it into his
mouth. Len groaned clearly enjoying the feel of Ray's hot lips round his
organ. He knew precisely how long to suck for so as not to bring Len off so
after a few minutes he stopped and stood up. His own cock was now rock
hard.

"It says in the room folder that if I need anything all I have to do is
ask" Ray grinned. "Does that include asking a gorgeous member of staff to
fuck me with his gorgeous cock I wonder?" Len grinned. He was certainly up
for giving this guy a fuck. "Does it?" Ray grinned as he held Len's cock in
his hand.

"I don't see why not" Len giggled. Ray took that as a yes so grabbed a
condom and slipped it onto Len's erection. He passed Len a bottle of lube
he always used and climbed onto the end of the bed. Kneeling with his legs
open wide and his head down low he told Len to finger him and then give him
a good hard fuck. Len looked at the open hole and felt his body shiver with
excitement. He squeezed some lube over it and inserted two fingers. Ray
grunted with approval as Len plunged the fingers in and out.

"Now thrust that big cock of yours in". Len removed his fingers, lined his
cock up to the hole which was nicely opened up and plunged in. "Yeah, give
that arse a good hard fuck; I like it hard." Len felt his cock being
gripped by Ray's ring of muscle as he thrust back and forth. It felt
wonderful and for a moment he closed his eyes and forgot that he was
fucking a guest. "Yeah, you like fucking my arse don't you". Len looked at
the arse he was fucking and came back to the present.

"Yeah, lovely arse to fuck" he grunted as he continued thrusting in and
out.

"Don't come; I want to suck you off" Ray groaned enjoying every second of
the big cock inside him. When Len felt he was ready to do so, he pulled
out. Ray quickly turned round, whipped the latex off Len's cock and sank it
into his mouth. He loved sucking cock and he loved taking it all the way to
the back of his throat. Len soon reached his climax and Ray felt the thick
creamy cum shoot down his throat. Once Len was spent, he sucked the
sensitive head to drain it. Len's whole body was shaking as he did so but
he loved the feel of his cock being sucked like this.

"Thanks Len, that was brilliant; now that's what I call room
service. Perhaps tomorrow morning I can fuck you" Ray said hopefully.

Len giggled and made the bed before slipping his thong back on. On his way
to the cupboard in the back corridor where they kept their cleaning
materials he met Edward. "Ah, here you are; was wondering where you'd
gone." Len blushed and commented that Ray wanted something. Edward was
quick to pick up on it and grinned. "He wanted additional room services did
he?" Len nodded. "Did you mind?"

"No" Len grinned, "He wants more tomorrow morning".

Edward chuckled and pulled Len into his arms. "I don't blame him; I would
too in his shoes but I suggest you keep it quiet; don't want Sam getting
hot under the collar about it."

Len agreed. Edward was his friend and he liked him very much. "Could we do
it sometime?" he added with an emphasis on the words 'do it'.

"Are you suggesting young man that I have sex with my boyfriend's brother?"
Edward whispered with a big grin on his face.

"Yeah" Len giggled, "I want to feel that big cock of yours up my arse".

"And there was me thinking you were such an innocent guy." Edward then felt
a hand in his crotch having a good feel. The thought of fucking Len had
already made him react so the feel of a hot hand round his cock made it go
rock hard. "Come on then" Edward whispered, "Just a quick one but for fucks
sake don't tell anyone, especially not Sam."

"I'm not an idiot" Len replied.

"Far from it" Edward said as they quickly went to Len's room. Once inside
and the door was firmly closed they both stripped naked. "Face down on the
bed" Edward told Len. He grabbed the bottle of lube from the side table and
prepared Len's entrance. "I take it you've been fucked before" Edward
whispered whilst he prepared his shaft.

"Of course" but Len didn't add that he'd only had Simon's somewhat smaller
cock up his arse. Edward's was much larger as was Ray's so he wanted to see
how it felt to have a big cock inside him.

Len felt Edward stretch his hole open and the head of his cock push up
against it. He relaxed and waited for the big head to breach him. Edward
pushed gently and Len felt it pop through with ease. Once inside he felt
the long thick shaft slowly fill him up. He groaned with pleasure and so
did Edward. "Yeah" they both groaned. Once fully inside, Edward slowly
thrust back and forth. It felt beautiful and every bit as good as fucking
his lover. Gradually he increased the pace waiting for Len to say he'd had
enough but he just continued groaning and moaning his pleasure. "Oh fuck,
I'm gonna cum" he groaned a short while later. Len giggled and waited for
the warm glow.

When Edward was spent he collapsed on top of Len's back and kissed his
neck. "Mm, that was nice; thank you".

"Thank you" Len smiled. Now he could really say he'd been fucked and looked
forward to the following morning.


Nobody seemed to have noticed their disappearance when they walked back
downstairs so they continued as if nothing had happened between them. Len
saw a stark naked Ray making his way to the massage room with Simon and
they just smiled at each other. Following on behind was another guest who
was also stark naked. He'd agreed to have an erotic massage with Tom at the
same time.

Edward went into the lounge area and saw three other fully naked guests
enjoying themselves in the sun room. Not that there was any sun that
morning but it was always warm in there. One guy was lying on his back
sucking the cock of another who was perched over his head, and the third
guy was sucking the guy on the floor. Edward smiled. It was good to see the
guests felt relaxed enough to do whatever they wanted. It was also rather
nice to see so many naked bodies around.

Knowing that Simon was now doing a massage, Len wandered round to the spa
area to see what was going on there. Sam and Paul were in the kitchen
preparing vegetables for that evening's meal. Len found Terry shackled to
the St Andrew's cross and Ralph giving him a good lashing with a
flogger. Len stood in the doorway and watched. He wasn't sure he could cope
with being flogged like that but he found it rather erotic watching others
being lashed. Every so often Ralph would stop and rub his hand over the
reddened skin. Terry groaned and Len assumed it was one of pleasure.

"Gonna give you a hard fuck now" Ralph growled at Terry once the naked butt
was a bright red. He slicked his cock and thrust it in with one hard
push. Terry groaned but Ralph knew he loved rough sex. Len felt his own as
he watched Ralph slam his thick cock in and out of Terry's arse. He could
almost feel what it felt like. Perhaps one of these days he'd try it.

Tom and Simon were busy giving a massage to their guys who enjoyed watching
each other as the two naked masseurs worked their magic. When they'd
finished, Tom's guy said he wanted to be fucked so Tom told him to go on
his knees. Simon knew that Ray wanted to fuck him so having sheathed Ray's
stiff cock he manoeuvred himself over it. He guided it into him and slowly
sat down until he could feel the whole length inside him. Both guys were
grunting and groaning their pleasure as was Tom. Ray looked across and
enjoyed watching Tom's cock thrusting in and out of the other guy. He then
watched his own cock plunge in and out of Simon. "Yeah fucking brilliant"
Ray groaned.

As Simon rode up and down he massaged his own erection. Tom meanwhile was
massaging the other guy's cock. Eventually Tom reached his climax as did
Ray inside of Simon. They then watched the cocks being massaged until they
too were shooting their load.

"Fucking brilliant" both guys exclaimed once everyone had finished.

"Yeah, I will certainly be coming here again" Ray grinned as he thought
about his earlier fuck by Len and the fuck yet to come.


The following morning when Len had finished his bed making duties in the
first room on his list, he went round to Ray's. Having satisfied himself
that nobody else was around, he quickly slipped off his thong and knocked
on the door. As soon as he heard Ray say come in he entered. Ray giggled
when he saw a naked Len walk in. "Ah, now that's what I call being
prepared". He went over to Len and took the small container that held his
cleaning materials out of his hand. "I'm going to treat you to something
really special" Ray told Len as he led him to the bed and told him to lie
down on his back. Once there he told Len to grab hold of the bed rail
behind him. Paul had specifically chosen headboards that had a rail knowing
how guy guys loved either being shackled to them or holding them whilst
having sex. Len did so and Ray lifted his legs over his chest. He then
looped his ankles through belts he'd already fitted to the rail to hold his
legs up. Len realised he could easily slip out of them if he wanted so felt
quite safe.

Ray then knelt on the bed and pulled Len's buttocks wide apart. He flicked
out his tongue, teasing the entrance. As he did so he grabbed hold of Len's
balls and pulled them until they were just beginning to hurt but Len found
it exhilarating. Every so often, Ray licked a line over his balls and
across his hole. He then pulled it wide open and pushed his tongue in as
far as he could get. "Oh god" Len groaned watching Ray at work.

"You like that don't you" Ray grinned as he now fingered the hole; first
with one finger and then two as he slapped Len's naked butt with his other
hand. Len felt the warm glow and loved it. Perhaps he would like to be
flogged like Terry had the day before. Ray gripped Len's hips and plunged
his enormous sheathed cock inside. "Oh god" Len gulped. As he fucked, Ray
pulled Len's balls tight and watched his cock jump up and down with
excitement. As he fucked, he slapped the side of Len's buttocks with one
hand whilst massaging the weeping cock with his other. How long he fucked
for, Len didn't know. He felt as if he was in heaven. Ray's big cock filled
him up and he loved it. Suddenly Ray barked out a cry on the first surge of
ecstasy. Len tried to imagine the hot spunk filling him up even though he
knew there was latex keeping their naked flesh apart. He wished he'd told
Ray to fuck him raw but he knew what Edward had told him about that. Even
so, the feel of this guy's hot cock inside him with all the other things he
was doing was mind blowing.

Suddenly Ray pulled out and Len felt a wave of disappointment. "Not
finished with you yet" Ray giggled and reached over for an electro plug in
the shape of a dildo. Now that Len was nicely opened up he plunged the
dildo inside him. He then fitted another electrode round Len's cock and
switched on the electro unit. Len gasped as he felt the electrical current
shoot through him.

"Fuck that is awesome" he groaned. Ray grinned knowing precisely what it
felt like. His cock was rock hard but not ready to shoot its load. Ray
increased the setting and he felt the tingling increase. Another setting
was changed and this time it pulsed; first through his cock and then up his
arse.

"You like that?"

"Fuck, yes"

"Then you'll like this even more" Ray grinned as he fitted an electro strap
round his own cock, removed the dildo from Len's arse and plunged his own
hard cock back inside. Ray increased the unit to its highest level and
changed the setting so that both cocks received blasts of current at the
same time. Len felt the tingle shooting through his cock and through Ray's
inside him.

"Fucking hell; that is fucking brilliant" Len yelled. Suddenly he felt his
own climax come and he shot loads of creamy cum all over his chest. Ray
grinned and increased the pace of his fuck. He was reaching another climax
and wanted to fill this gorgeous guy up. He too wished he'd been able to
dispense with the latex between them but he knew that would be out of the
question.

Finally both guys came down from their high and Ray switched the electro
unit off. He removed the electrodes and Len unhooked his ankle from the
belt loop. Ray slumped down on top of him and they kissed. It became very
passionate and had it gone on long enough they both knew they could do it
all over again but Ray didn't want to push his luck too far.

"Thanks, that was brilliant" Ray grinned when the kiss had ended.

"Yeah, fucking brilliant; thanks" Len replied before getting up to perform
the duties he'd come in to do. Ray left him to it and walked naked
downstairs to see what other action was going on. He found Ralph and Terry
in the SM room. Ralph was in the sling and Terry was giving him a good
roasting.

"Want to join in?" Terry laughed when he saw Ray.

"Yeah, why not"


Everyone agreed that the opening was a great success. All the guests
thoroughly enjoyed themselves and said they'd certainly be recommending it
to their friends. Ralph and Terry said they were particularly happy and
told Paul they too would be drumming up business for them. They already had
two groups in mind who they knew would love staying for a long weekend.

Once all the guests had left, Paul called everyone to a meeting to discuss
how things had gone and where they could improve things. In truth, they all
felt everything had gone perfectly. "And Ray asked me to thank you Len for
the way you looked after him." Len blushed and hoped that Sam wouldn't
notice. Edward grinned at him knowingly. New bookings had already come in
so rooms now had to be cleaned and prepared for the next batch and the spa
area needed a thorough clean so it was once again all hands to the deck.

A few days later, Paul received an email from a Masters and Slaves group
who'd been recommended by Terry. They wanted to book all eight rooms for
eight masters and four slaves. Paul chuckled at the list of
requirements. Since the slaves had to remain naked the whole weekend, it
meant their rule about wearing something in the dining room had to be
relaxed but Paul was not bothered since they were booking all rooms for a
specialist event. They'd also spend most of their time in the SM room
although they'd use the hot tubs occasionally. Other specialist rooms would
not be required and they were all meat eaters so there was no need to offer
a choice. "The slaves will eat whatever they're given; all we want is good
wholesome food" the guy said which amused Paul.

Paul replied saying he'd be delighted to welcome them to Blake Hall and
offered them a discounted rate since they would be self sufficient even
down to cleaning up after themselves in the SM area. The date was fixed for
early December well before the Christmas period which was already getting
booked up.


9.

Since the official opening, there'd been a steady flow of guests. Most
stayed for long weekends whilst others who wanted to get away from it all
stayed for a week. There'd been a mix of guys; some very friendly who
invited the staff members to pleasure them, and others who kept themselves
to themselves but enjoyed the facilities on offer. The weeks seemed to pass
by quickly; whether that was because they were busy or just enjoying their
new life, Paul wasn't sure but he tried to ensure that everyone was happy,
especially the guy he loved with all his heart. Tom loved his new role and
threw his heart and soul into it. Sam was a bit more relaxed now he didn't
feel he had to keep such a close eye on Len since Edward made sure he was
safe and enjoying life, although he still worried about him. He had now
noticed the change in Len since living at Blake Hall and that pleased him
although he was never quite sure why Len frequently seemed so happy. There
were still times when he reverted to doing childish things but he seemed
more confident in himself and didn't knock things over or do things wrong
like he'd done when living in London. It was also very clear that he loved
playing the piano which he did at every opportunity, so Sam wondered
whether that had something to do with his progress.

The day of the masters and slaves event was soon upon them so that morning
Paul went through what to expect. Len was particularly interested in what
the group would get up to, so was looking forward to their visit. It was
Sam and Edward's rest day so they decided to go shopping and leave Tom to
manage the kitchen with Paul's help, and Simon and Len to be on duty in and
around the SM area.

The group arrived mid morning in three cars. As soon as they were in the
reception area, Paul could immediately tell who the eight masters were and
who the four slaves were since the latter stood to one side with their
heads bowed until spoken to by one of the masters. The slaves were smaller
in stature than the masters who were big beefy guys. Most of them had large
metal rings in their ears and two had nose rings as well. Paul decided he
certainly wouldn't want to mess with them although in reality they were
really nice guys and treated their slaves with great respect. He'd also
been told that the slaves were only allowed to communicate through one of
their masters but in the main would only speak when spoken to by a
master. The staff team therefore had strict instructions not to speak to
slaves throughout the whole weekend.

"Welcome to Blake Hall" Paul said to the eight masters. They all nodded and
the one in charge moved forward to book everyone in. He was the guy who'd
emailed so Paul acknowledged him. Paul completed the checking in procedure
and issued the eight masters with their door key wrist bands. The slaves
were not allowed these since they could only access rooms with a
master. Since there were four of them and eight masters, it seemed each
slave served two masters.

The master in charge then barked to the four slaves "Strip". Paul then
watched each slave remove all their clothes and put them into a black bin
bag being held by one of their masters. Once completely naked and no shoes,
the bags were tied and sealed with sticky tape. Paul was then asked to
store these in the office for when they left to go home on the Monday
morning. Once naked, the slaves were each fitted with a leather collar and
a short chain whilst their heads continued to be bowed.

Paul then called Simon and Len forward to show the masters upstairs. He
left it to the group to decide who used which room and in any event from
what he could make out the slaves would be moving from room to room to
service their masters throughout the weekend so they had no designated
room. Paul had also purchased everyone a leather pouch to wear for the
whole weekend since the slaves would be naked and from what he could tell,
the masters wouldn't be wearing much either so he felt it showed
willing. He'd already noticed the approving smile on the faces of the
masters when they saw him in his skimpy leather pouch but when they saw
Simon and Len in theirs their faces beamed.

The slaves were required to carry the holdalls of the two masters they
served so immediately picked these up when told. The bags contained the
leather gear the masters would be wearing plus various other items. Simon
then led four masters and two slaves to the rooms in the west wing whilst
Len led the others to those on the east side. Having showed them how to use
their key cards to open the doors, they left the guests to their own
devices.

"Those slaves look rather sexy" Simon whispered to Len when they met back
downstairs although they had a feeling the chances of doing anything with
them was remote. Even so, they'd enjoy admiring their naked bodies
throughout the weekend.

"One or two of the masters are hunky guys as well" Len giggled and felt his
pouch to adjust it since his cock was already reacting at the thought of
what they could do for him.

"I see, fancy being a slave do you?" Simon giggled, "Perhaps one day we
should play out a master and slave scene." Len giggled and said he might
hold Simon to that idea.

Some twenty minutes later, the masters appeared with their slaves dutifully
following on behind. The masters were now wearing a leather harness which
showed off their hairy chests and a leather waistband that had a strap with
two metal rings leading down to their cock. Their balls had been slipped
through one ring and their cock through another. This made their balls and
their cock stick out in front of them and acted as a cock ring. A thin
leather strap went between their legs and was hidden in their crack to
connect to the waistband. The outfit was finished off with short leather
boots to give them a look of superiority over their slaves. A flogger with
leather thongs hung from their waistband to add to the effect.

Len and Simon were waiting for them in the entrance hall with tea and
coffee. The slaves knelt down on the floor beside their masters and were
only allowed water. Whilst Simon served the tea and coffee Len gave each
master a bottle of water for them to give to their slave.

When the masters had finished their drinks, the lead master flipped his
flogger across the slave kneeling beside him. "On your knees boy and lick
my boots" he commanded. The slave immediately obeyed and commenced licking
his master's boots. As he did so, his other master used his flogger across
the slave's naked butt. The other slaves were soon being given similar
treatment. Some were bent over their master's knee and being spanked with a
bare hand and others were being flogged with the flogger. When each slave's
butt was a rosy red, a master pulled them up by their neck chain and led
them off to the SM room.

Len was keen to see what happened next so once he'd helped Simon clear away
the coffee cups he made his way round.

He stood in the doorway of the SM room and gazed at what was going on. One
slave had his arms stretched above his head with his hands fastened to
restraints hanging from the ropes that were fixed to the beam above. His
buttocks were being flogged by a master whilst another was tapping his cock
and his balls with the handle of his flogger. Len winced as he watched the
guy's balls being struck and imagined what that must feel like but the
slave seemed to enjoy what was being done to him even though he cried out
as each stroke hit his body.

Another slave had been restrained in the sling and was being fucked by a
master whilst the other was sucking his cock. Len much preferred that and
imagined it was him in the sling. A third slave was bent over the fuck
bench and being well and truly serviced by a master whilst he had his mouth
round another master's cock. That too caused a thrill shoot through Len's
body as he imagined himself in that position. The final slave had been
spread-eagled on the St Andrew's cross. Whilst one master fucked him,
another sucked the slave's cock that poked through to the other side. Len
wasn't sure about having his arms and legs spread-eagled like that but
perhaps one of these days he might try it out.

The master who was having his cock sucked by the slave bent over the fuck
bench, noticed Len standing there and grinned. "Want to join in? Len moved
forward to get a closer look. The master felt Len's bulge inside his pouch
which made the organ jump to attention. "Get that off and you can offer
your cock to him if you like; he's good at sucking cock, aren't you boy?"

"Yes sir" the slave replied and licked his lips at the sight of Len's
bulge. Len decided to go for it so hastily slipped off his thong to allow
his now fully hard cock to be sucked. The slave opened his mouth to
greedily accept the thick organ. The master was right, the slave was good
at sucking and as Len moved forward soon had the whole length in his
mouth. Len could feel his sensitive head pushing at the back of the slave's
throat but still he continued sucking without gagging. Whilst he sucked,
Len felt the master standing behind him finger his arse.

"Nice arse you've got; wouldn't mind fucking that"

Len grinned. "Yeah okay, if you want to". Seeing that all the masters were
fucking their slaves bareback, he wondered whether he'd be fucked raw as
well. He was tempted to say do that but then remembered Edward's
words. "Always use protection when having sex with guys other than us". The
master didn't ask and instead automatically grabbed a condom from the
dispenser on the wall. Whilst the slave continued sucking him, Len watched
the master sheath his big cock out of the corner of his eye. The guy was
huge and Len began to wonder whether he'd bitten off more than he could
chew but he'd agreed now so he'd have to go through with it.

The master who was still fucking the slave told him to stop sucking Len but
to keep the cock inside his mouth. The other master bent Len over the slave
and fingered him with two well lubricated fingers to open him up before
gently inserting his well used tool. Len gave a slight gasp as he felt the
huge head go through his ring of muscle but once through it felt great. The
guy fucking the slave then continued his long hard thrusts whilst the slave
sucked Len's cock which moved in and out of the slave's mouth as the master
fucked him. The four man operation continued for several minutes before Len
felt his seed rise. "Fuck, I'm gonna cum" he cried.

"Yeah, fill my slave up with your hot spunk" the master fucking laughed. It
was also clear from the groans of content coming from the other master that
he too had reached his climax and was now filling his slave with hot cum at
the other end. With a few more long hard thrusts, the master fucking Len
felt his time come and let rip inside the latex.

When all was done, Len was released and the masters thanked him. "Thank you
guys" Len grinned and gently rubbed the slave's head. He was still shackled
by his hands and feet to the fuck bench so couldn't move but he murmured
something which sounded like "You're welcome".

Len was on the point of leaving the room when he noticed the slave in the
sling being given a golden shower by his two masters. Len was fascinated
that anyone would enjoy that but it seemed the slave did. He was also
concerned about the mess they were making on the floor before remembering
that Paul had said the guys would clean up after themselves.

He decided he'd go and have a soak in one of the hot tubs after his fuck so
walked out of the SM room and into the room where the hot tubs were
situated. Simon and Paul were using the small tub so he joined them.

"Having fun?" Simon grinned. Len blushed wondering if either of them saw
him in the SM room.

"Yes thanks" he replied as he climbed in having tossed his pouch to one
side.

"We thought you were" Paul grinned, "Did you enjoy that master's cock up
your arse?"

"Fuck, did you see me?" Len gasped.

"Of course" Simon chuckled, "We needed to be sure you were okay but seeing
you were we decided to leave you to it; being fucked and sucked at the same
time eh; we must try that sometime."

"You won't tell Sam will you?" Len said suddenly knowing that his brother
would not approve.

"Your secret is safe with us" Paul laughed and pulled Len onto his
lap. "Although your brother still worries about you we are happy to see you
enjoy yourself provided you take precautions and don't go too mad."

"I always do take precautions; well except with you guys" Len grinned.

"So your sex life has really taken off has it?" Paul grinned.

"Sure has" Simon laughed; "He's now been fucked by two guests me and Edward
and been sucked off by you and several other guys."

"Lucky you" Paul laughed as he felt his own organ getting hard and Len's
which was already showing signs of interest. Len giggled and put his arms
round Paul. He moved his head forward and kissed Paul on the lips. Paul
couldn't resist Len so clasped the back of his head and pressed their
mouths together. Tongues flicked in and out of each other and Len could
feel Paul pressing a finger inside him. Len wanted Paul and he wanted
Len. Simon watched on amused and wondered how far this would go.

The kiss was getting Paul really excited. He'd never thought of having
serious sex with Len before but the guy was hot and clearly wanted it. Paul
pulled out of the kiss and smiled at Len.

"You gonna fuck me then?" Len asked.

"Don't tempt me" Paul grinned and lightly kissed Len again.

"You can if you want" Len continued as he grasped Paul's big cock which was
now standing up hard between Len's legs.

"You are a naughty boy" Paul giggled but was so tempted.

"Perhaps you should use a flogger on me like the masters are doing" Len
teased Paul.

"What do you do with him Simon?" Paul laughed as he became more and more
excited at the thought of having some real fun with Len.

"Give him what he wants if you ask me" Simon chuckled.

That was enough encouragement for Paul so he lifted Len off his lap and
virtually carried him out of the tub.

"I'll fetch a flogger" Simon laughed and ran off to the SM room.

"On your knees boy" Paul grinned. Len did so and Paul pressed his head down
onto the floor and told him to lick his foot. Len speedily got into the
slave mode having watched the four slaves react to their master's
voice. Simon returned with a flogger and Paul lightly whipped Len's bare
buttocks. Paul sat on the tiled step to the hot tub and grabbed hold of
Len's head. He pushed his big toe into his mouth and told him to suck
it. As Len did so, Paul whipped Len's butt with the flogger. Lightly at
first but seeing that Len enjoyed what he was doing he increased the
strength of each lash until he was really giving it some. Simon stood by
and loved what was happening. His own cock was now rock hard and he ran it
through his hand. Paul pulled Len's head into his crotch and stuffed his
big thick cock into his mouth. "Suck it boy" he growled and Len obeyed as
Paul pulled his head up and down by his hair. As Len sucked, Paul used his
foot to massage Len's balls and then crooked Len's hard cock with his big
toe. Len groaned as he felt his cock being slowly massaged in between
Paul's toes. He also enjoyed the tangy taste of Paul's pre-cum which was
flowing nicely.

Every so often, Paul gave Len a few more lashes on his backside with the
flogger. Len's whole body was tingling with excitement. He loved being
flogged, albeit not as hard as the masters had flogged their slaves but it
gave him a high. Suddenly Paul pulled Len off his cock and pressed his head
back onto the floor telling him to lick the tiles. Len did so and felt his
arse being given some more lashes. He then felt Paul pulling his arse
cheeks apart to open him up. Then a finger slipped inside. He was then
conscious of another hand stroking his erect cock and realised Simon had
now joined in. He so wanted to feel a cock inside him and was about to
plead to be fucked when Paul grabbed his hair and bent him over the side of
the hot tub. He then felt Paul's thick cock penetrate him.

"Oh yes" he cried out as the long shaft filled him up, "Yeah, fuck that
arse" Simon yelled. Paul grinned since that was precisely what he was going
to do until he'd shot his load inside this gorgeous buck, although he
dreaded the thought of Sam finding out that he'd fucked his brother. For
some reason, he wasn't worried about Tom's reaction since they both knew
that sex with other guys was just that, pure sex and nothing else.

Paul slammed in and out and Len's whole body shook as he did so until Paul
suddenly tensed and Len knew what to expect. Suddenly he felt the warm glow
of Paul's hot seed fill him up. "Fucking gorgeous" he muttered.

Before Len had time to get up when Paul pulled out, he suddenly felt
another cock being thrust inside him. He recognised Simon's thinner cock
immediately. Watching the action had made Simon yearn to take part and by
now his body was in control. Having seen how Paul fucked Len he knew he
could take it hard so he slammed in and out with the same intensity until
he too was spilling his seed.

When Simon eventually pulled out he gave Len a big hard slap on the butt
with his naked hand.

"Ouch" Len giggled but secretly enjoyed it. Simon's hand was also smarting
from the slap but he too enjoyed feeling flesh against flesh.

"Happy now" Paul grinned.

"Yes thank you" Len grinned in reply.

"And for fucks sake don't say anything" Paul said. He was about to add "to
Sam" when he suddenly saw Sam walk into the hot tub area.

"Hi Sam, done your shopping?" Paul asked innocently before starting to walk
out.

"Yes" he said abruptly and frowned at his brother who was still rubbing his
butt from Simon's slap. "What the fuck is going on?"

Len shrugged his shoulders and went to pick up his pouch. Sam wasn't having
it so grabbed his brother by his arm. "What mustn't you say anything
about?" he asked angrily. Len looked at his brother and tears started to
well up.

"For heaven's sake Sam leave him alone; he's just enjoying himself" Simon
said.

"Yeah, so I can see; in fact you're all enjoying yourself whilst I slave
away in the kitchen."

Len freed himself from his brother's grip and grabbed his pouch. He then
ran off down the corridor to the main house.

"Sam, calm down" Paul said having walked back in. "Come, let's go and have
a chat; Simon would you mind telling the guys that lunch will be ready soon
and go to the dining room when they're ready. Sam and I will join you in a
few minutes."

Sam looked at Paul and then dropped his eyes down to Paul's naked organ
which was still slightly excited. Paul gently led Sam by the arm round to
the office area where he slipped on his leather pouch.

"What's wrong Sam?" Paul asked gently having indicated for him to sit
down. Paul grabbed a chair and moved up near him.

"I worry about him" Sam said sadly.

"You mean Len" Paul said and Sam nodded. "Why; he's a grown man and can
look after himself; he's come on in leaps and bounds since living here and
he's happy and enjoying life, so why do you worry about him."

"You guys didn't have to look after him all those years following
that...that terrible day; he's vulnerable and I don't want to see him
revert to what he was like."

"I'm sure he won't; besides we're all here to look after him"

"Oh yeah, what like using him as a fuck buddy" Sam shouted. Paul was
shocked at Sam's outburst; he was also shocked that Sam had clearly seen
what he and Simon had done.

"Len asked us to fuck him; he wanted us to; neither Simon or I forced
ourselves on him; we would never do that; you must know we wouldn't Sam; we
all love Len and will always make sure he's safe."

"So how many other guys have fucked him?"

Paul decided there was no point in hiding the truth so he said as far as he
was aware Len had engaged in sex with two guests but he'd assured him that
protection had been used.

"Fucking hell" Sam exclaimed hardly believing what he was hearing.

"The guy has needs just like the rest of us" Paul smiled and patted Sam's
hand.

"Seems he has more than most" Sam retorted, "Just wish I'd been able to at
his age".

"Is that the problem Sam? You feel he's held you back?" Paul asked gently.

Sam looked at Paul for a moment and then burst into tears. Paul pulled him
into his arms and caressed him until he'd calmed down. "What's wrong Sam;
why are you so concerned about Len?"

"I love him and don't want to see him hurt; he's all I've got now" Sam said
between tears.

"We all love him and none of us want to see him hurt but we have to accept
he has a mind of his own and the more you control him the more he'll want
to do his own thing to prove he's able to make his own decisions." Sam
nodded. He understood that really but he still felt he should protect his
little brother. "He loves you very much Sam and doesn't want to see you
upset. You say he's all you've got now but you've got us and more to the
point you've got a guy who worships the ground you walk on or is your love
for Edward not the same as his?"

Sam shook his head. "It is; I love Edward very much but sometimes I feel
it's just me trying to keep Len out of harm's way."

"Why do you feel you need to? He's twenty and is no longer a child; okay at
times he does childish things but don't we all and he's so happy here and
moving forward in his life." Sam nodded but Paul still felt there was a
problem. "Are you not happy here? Is that the problem? Do you miss London?"

"A bit but then I remember the shitty place we lived in and the tiny coffee
shop I ran"

"And don't forget that Len had to sit in that tiny coffee shop all day long
with nothing to challenge him apart from the occasional idiots who called
him names."

Sam grinned, "Yeah you're right; I'm being stupid aren't I?"

"No, just honest with yourself" Paul smiled and gave Sam another pat on the
hand. "Are you unhappy with your role here? Is that the problem? Do you
feel you're not supported enough in the kitchen?"

Sam thought for a moment before answering. "Perhaps; sometimes I feel I'm
locked away in the kitchen whilst you guys are meeting guests and having
fun with them."

"You mean sex" Paul grinned.

"That too" Sam chuckled.

"Right, I'll have a word with Tom and we'll equalise the rota better to
allow you more time out of the kitchen; I'm sure he won't mind."

"Thanks" Sam replied and leaned forward to give Paul a kiss.

"Any time" Paul grinned and stood up. Sam did the same and pulled Paul into
a hug.

"I should count myself as lucky really; I live with five gorgeous guys and
one in particular who loves me yet I get myself all up tight; I really do
appreciate everything you and Tom have done; it's great to know that
there's someone who cares, not only about Len but me too."

"You're right; and don't you forget it" Paul laughed.

Sam grinned. "God you're so sexy when you take control".

"Watch it, otherwise I'll bend you over that table and fuck you" Paul
laughed.

"I might take you up on that"

Paul was glad to see Sam joke and gave him a playful slap on his
butt. "Come on, we've probably got twelve sexy guys waiting to be fed".

They walked round to the dining room with Sam feeling happier. "And if you
need to talk just come and see me" Paul added as they made their
way. "Don't bottle things up and don't take it out on Len otherwise I shall
put you over my knee and give you a good spanking" he grinned.

"Now that sounds like fun" Sam laughed. Paul gave him a quick slap on the
butt just as they entered the dining room. Len looked up to assess whether
or not he was in trouble but then saw his brother smiling. He came over to
him and gave him a big hug. "Sorry bruv, will you forgive me?"

Len nodded and kissed his brother on the cheek. He wasn't too sure what he
was forgiving him for but at least he wasn't in trouble.


10.

The masters and slaves continued to enjoy their sexual antics for the next
two days. Len was again invited to take part as was Sam, and much to Len's
surprise he agreed. Len's wish to be shackled into the sling came true and
he was fucked by two masters one after the other. Sam was strapped over the
fuck bench with his cock poking through a hole. Whilst being fucked by one
master and mouth fucked by another, a slave was told to climb beneath the
bench and suck Sam off whilst he was being serviced at both ends. To add to
his excitement, another slave was strapped over the bench beside him but
faced in the opposite direction so Sam was able to see out of the corner of
his eye another master using his huge cock to fuck the slave whilst he too
was being mouth fucked by another.

After their meal on the Sunday, the four slaves were told to crawl round
the large entrance hall on their hands and knees like dogs. Each had been
fitted with a butt tail plug which they had to wag as they were led along
by their collar chain. Whilst one master led them, another used his flogger
on the slave's naked butt. The slave's clearly loved the action since
having crawled round the hall several times they were all exhibiting
sizable erections. Four masters then sat on chairs and the slaves were told
to suck them off whilst having their balls and cock manhandled by their
other master. When they'd brought their master to a satisfactory
conclusion, Edward, Sam, Simon and Tom were invited to take a seat and
receive the same treatment whilst the others looked on. Finally, two slaves
were told to roll over onto their back with their legs and arms in the air
whilst the other two slaves sucked them off.

When their weekend was over, everyone was sorry to see the masters and
slaves leave. Once the slaves had been released from their submissive mode
by having their collars removed, they were allowed to speak. Each one
thanked Paul and his team for a great weekend and everybody hugged and
kissed each other. They'd all enjoyed their time immensely and the guy in
charge booked another weekend for six months later. He also said he'd
recommend Blake Hall to other similar groups and several months later two
different groups made similar bookings.


The two weeks leading up to Christmas were quiet with just one couple
staying for one of the weeks. They enjoyed the facilities and were happy
for members of the team to take part in sexual activity with them. Paul
told everyone to relax as much as they could because he knew the Christmas
period leading up to the New Year was going to be busy. Four couples and
four single guys had booked for Christmas so all eight rooms were
occupied. Sam and Tom knew they had to produce a Christmas lunch for
eighteen since Paul had said he wanted the team to join the guests for
Christmas lunch. Whilst Sam and Tom carved two enormous turkeys in the
dining room, the other four served the guests before sitting down amongst
them to enjoy their meal.

Ralph and Terry were one of the couples so Paul knew that things would be
lively with them around. They brought with them two black guys called Dylan
and Tyrone. They were both nineteen and had been picked up by Ralph on his
travels. They were lovely guys, very good looking and had enormous cocks
which they were more than happy to use on whoever was willing. Once seen
the whole team said they couldn't wait to feel those inside them.

To spice things up, Paul had purchased bright red cock gloves which were
nylon with a cock and ball sheath. The team and all guests were supplied
with these and it was suggested the item was worn on Christmas day. The
rest of the time the team wore a red single sided thong which left little
to the imagination. Everyone loved them and joined in the fun.

When guys weren't enjoying the facilities or having sex, various games were
played. These all involved some form of sexual activity in which everyone
was happy to participate. One game involved musical chairs. A game normally
played at a children's party but for this one every guy was naked. It was
held in the old entrance hall and Len played the piano whilst Paul
supervised. Two rows of seven chairs were lined up back to back and when
the music stopped the sixteen guys taking part had to sit down on one. The
two unlucky guys were told to go along one row and suck each guy's cock. It
didn't take long for fourteen cocks to be showing signs of excitement. The
music started again and Paul removed two more chairs. The losers again had
to suck cock. The group of players was eventually whittled down to two
guys; Tyrone and one of the single guests called Adrian who was twenty and
had a gorgeous body.

When the music stopped, Tyrone was the winner. Tyrone grinned as did Adrian
since both knew what the winner's prize was to be. Adrian immediately knelt
on the floor and offered himself to Tyrone. Everybody gathered round to
watch Adrian's white arse being fucked by Tyrone's enormous black
cock. They'd also agreed to do it bareback which caused a big cheer. Having
lubricated his cock, Tyrone slowly pushed inside of Adrian. He gasped but
once in him he groaned with pleasure. Tyrone then slowly pulled Adrian's
butt back and forth onto his big long thick shaft. Those standing by
rapidly became excited as they watched the live sex show and cocks were
soon rising high. Several guys were slowly massaging themselves whilst
others helped each other out.

Eventually Tyrone felt his seed rising so he pulled out and shot his load
over Adrian's hole. He then pushed back in and continued fucking for
several minutes longer. Once finished, everyone found a partner and an orgy
took place. For the next hour or so, guys rolled round the floor rimming,
sucking and fucking each other. Paul and Tom agreed afterwards it was the
best Christmas they'd ever had at Blake Hall.

"Your father would have had a fit" Tom laughed.

"Fucking right he would; the homophobic bastard".


The Christmas event was a great success and several guys said they'd come
again the following year. Ralph and Terry stayed over until the New Year
with Dylan and Tyrone so the team enjoyed several more fucks with black
cock. Dylan and Tyrone couldn't get enough so were always happy to oblige
and never minded where they performed so others could look on.

Before Ralph left, he booked for a five day period towards the end of
February. He'd gathered together six cute eighteen year olds who were
willing to take part in gay porn films that Ralph was making. Paul hadn't
realised Ralph was into making gay porn but he said he'd made several and
wanted to do some more with these twinks, as he called them. "You'll love
them" he grinned, "They've all got beautiful bodies and don't mind what
they do." Four were from Eastern Europe and the other two were black guys
from Zambia. They'd both fled their country to escape being imprisoned
because of their sexuality. Ralph booked a room for himself and Terry,
three rooms for the six lads and another for the two camera guys who were a
couple that Ralph had met at college.

The weeks leading up to the porn guys arriving, were fairly quiet although
each week they had guests staying. Eventually it was the day for Ralph and
his party to arrive. Everything was ready and they were all excited at the
chance to watch porn films being made. Ralph had said he wanted to use all
areas and the team could watch if they wanted.

Ralph and Terry ferried the six cute guys in a mini bus. On arrival he
introduced them all to Paul, Simon and Edward who were waiting to show them
to their rooms. As Ralph had said, they were all very cute and clearly
excited about what they were going to do. They were all new to porn and
they'd all agreed to do it bareback which was all that Ralph ever filmed.

Ralph introduced them one by one; Anton, Igor, Yuri and Mikhail from
Eastern Europe and then Daniel and Kelvin from Zambia.

"Okay guys, Simon will take you up to your rooms so strip off, shower and
make yourselves smell sweet and meet me back down here in half an hour"
Ralph told them.

"Do you want us to wear anything?" Igor grinned.

"Fuck no" Ralph laughed, "I want you stark bollock naked the whole time
although you can bring a towel if you're shy".

Simon grinned and felt his cock swell inside his thong at the thought of
seeing these six guys stark naked. The guys grinned at Simon in his one
sided thong which Paul had suggested they all wear.

"Nice butt" Simon heard one of them say as he walked upstairs ahead of
them.

"Thank; can't wait to see you guys naked either"

"You won't be disappointed" Daniel laughed.

The lads had no sooner gone off with Simon when Yan and Andy arrived. They
were the camera crew and had met Paul before. As they gave him a big hug
and a kiss they had a good feel of the large bulge that was already evident
inside Paul's tight shorts. "Good to see you again" Yan grinned and gave
Paul another feel. "I hope I get to sample that at some point over the next
five days".

"Just say when" Paul laughed.

Edward showed the four of them to their rooms having left the camera
equipment in the main entrance hall.

"I trust you've brought your sexy thongs with you to wear; don't want the
lads to think we're prudes" Ralph chuckled once they were upstairs.

"Don't worry, we're both going to wear a G string; with those sexy guys
around we wanted to have our cocks easily accessible as they get hard." Yan
laughed.

Half an hour later the six stark naked lads appeared and none of them had
towels with them. Simon and Len silently gasped and felt their own cocks
twitch with excitement. They were all truly gorgeous. Ralph and Terry then
appeared wearing a very sexy thong with Yan and Andy following on behind in
their net G strings. Everybody admired each other for a moment before Ralph
explained what he wanted.

"Right guys, first scene is in the living room; three guys on the sofa and
the other three start sucking cock; and I want those cocks nice and hard"
Ralph laughed.

Once the cameras were set up there then followed an orgy leaving the six
guys to do very much what they wanted with minimal direction from Ralph
since he wanted it to look as natural as possible. Paul and the team
watched on but after a while decided they'd seen enough. It was like
watching a porn film. Fine for a while but eventually you wanted some
action yourself so they went off to do their chores. Even so, over the next
five days they enjoyed having six cute naked guys to look at. When they
were resting, Ralph and Terry made good use of the SM room leaving Yan and
Andy to have fun with Paul and the team. The lads were strictly off limits
since Ralph wanted them up and ready for filming the next scene.


The gay spa resort was very successful and was either booked for special
events or had guys staying to cool out and enjoy themselves. Several guests
returned and recommended Blake Hall for a good time away where clothes were
optional and plenty of facilities to enjoy. Paul was more than happy. Life
with the team went on happily with everyone doing their bit. Sam at last
left his brother to lead his own life although he still kept an eye on him
just in case. Len never forgot that terrible day even though his brain
wouldn't let him remember exactly what happened but he knew something awful
had taken place so every so often the others would find him with tears in
his eyes. As soon as they did, they comforted him until he was back to his
normal happy self.

Tom and Paul's love for each other never waned and although Sam and Edward
had their ups and downs they continued to love each other. Despite trying,
Simon never found a partner but he was happy living with the guys he loved
and whenever he felt lonely, which was not that often, he and Len would go
to one of their rooms and make love. Paul had often wondered if the pair
would make a couple but neither seemed interested in doing so. They loved
each other's company but not in the way that Paul and Tom loved one
another. Sam frequently reminded himself that with Edward by his side, he'd
found someone who cared, and that meant a lot to him.
