>From Chapter 23:

When Christmas Eve came, we had dinner with the rest of the family, then the
seven of us left the older adults and their kids, and went up to our place.
Rob and Carrie had to leave for his home in Downey after we were finished,
so we had to get our presents opened up and him on his way.  There were
several shirts opened and a very nice belt, from Rob, for me.  When it came
to the big box, I was really almost afraid.  I opened it very last.  The
only one I had not received from was Craig.

I opened the box.  Inside was a smaller box and inside it an even smaller
one, etc., until I had opened up eight boxes, each wrapped beautifully!
Inside the last box was an envelope.  I took out the card.

"Merry Christmas from Craig! " it said on the outside.  There was something
stuck on the inside, that made the card bulge.  I opened it up, and there
was a  gold pinky ring with a very clear rose quartz on the top, taped to
left side of the inside.  On the right, it said, "My Dearest Christopher,
This is a token of my love for you.  As the circle goes on forever, so does
my love for you! Love Craig.

P.S.  I have registered for next semester at UCSB!"

I looked up, tears filling my eyes.  He then said, choked up himself, "I
knew it the day you got back from seeing your cousin.  I could not ever
leave you again - EVER!  I jumped up and ran to him, almost tripping on
Seth, who was on the floor.  I just about knocked over the tree.  I tackled
him and kissed him passionately, right there in front of Rob, Carrie, Jake,
Colin and my little brother!  When we came up for air, every one of our
loved ones was grinning through wet eyes!

Chapter 24

I was not the only recipient of a ring.  A gorgeous 1 carat empress cut
diamond, set in white gold, flanked by smaller round diamonds, was given to
Carrie by Rob, in a more private setting.  He still had 2 1/2 years left to
get his degree, and then was looking at graduate school, but they figured on
a long engagement, to get married as soon as he got his degree.

You can imagine the excitement and Christmas spirit which was evident all
over the Smith House, when they saw and heard Jake's news.  He had gained
another 5 pounds since we saw him, and was looking rosy and wonderful.  He
said he was working out again, and running as well, and was not getting any
more tired than any normal guy would expect.

He sounded pretty healthy in the bedroom too, if all the sounds we heard
coming out of their room were any indication.  Actually I think the "old
men" decided they were not going to be intimidated by the two  young studs
in the next room!

"All I want to know," Craig said to them after the second night with us, "is
how you make it sound so real!  I have heard of faking orgasms, but you two
have it down to an art!"

"Oh yeah?" Jake said, "Well, that was no fake, and I would have to say that
the weak sounds we heard coming from your room, which I KNOW were real,
sounded like YOU were faking it!  I think you need to take some lessons!"

"Oh yeah?"  I said, "Maybe you think you could teach us!"

"Oh yeah?" Jake said, "er, What did you just say?"

"I said, `Maybe you think you could teach us!'"  I repeated.  I was not
quick enough to see where this was going!

"How about tonight?!" Jake said.

"Jake, shut up!" Colin said.

"As if you think you could teach us anything!" Craig said.

"Craig!?  What are you doing?"  I asked incredulously.  "What are you
getting us in to?"

"As if you didn't know, pussy boy!"  Jake said, laughing.  "Your room or
ours?"

I was glad that Seth was still down in the big house, playing with a couple
of our nephews!

"Guys!  Seth is going to be here any time now!  Watch your mouths, huh?"

Of course all the rough banter was all pretty moot, since Seth would be here
anyway.  I mentioned that, and they settled down a notch.

"Yeah, but -"

The door flew open.  "Hi guys!"  Seth said.  The room grew deadly quiet.
"What!!?" he said.

"Nothing."  I said.  "What's up bro?"  And I couldn't hide the snicker that
I tried to stifle.

"I was just coming up to say good bye to everyone.  We're going back
tonight."

We all looked at one another and burst out laughing!

"What??!!" Seth said once more, looking very hurt.  "I guess you're pretty
glad to get rid of me!"  He started walking into our room where his stuff
was.

"Seth."  Colin said.  Seth stopped and looked at Colin.  "Seth, that had
absolutely nothing to do with you!  We were just kidding around.  C'mere!"

Seth had big tears in his eyes.  He walked to Colin and wrapped his arms
around him.  "I hate this!" Seth said, "I wanna stay here with you guys!"

Craig was next to move in on Seth, then Jake and I joined in a energy-love
hug for Seth.

"We're all going to miss you too, kid!"  Colin said.  "Me especially!  I
always wanted a little brother!  You're more than I could have asked for!"
and he kissed him on his head.

"Okay, as much as I love all of you, you are suffocating me!"  We backed off
a little, then Colin motioned to the rest of us to follow his lead.  He
picked up Seth's legs.  We picked the rest of him up and cradled him between
the four of us, with me at his head. "I love you so much, little brother!"
I said.  I felt something and looked, and the other guys were lifting him up
high, so I did too.  I held his head and neck, Craig held his arms out
straight, while Jake and Colin held his butt and legs.  He was spread-eagle
looking at  the ceiling.  I knew he was grinning from ear to ear, even
though I could not see his face.

We lowered Seth back down, and while we still had him lying prone in our
embrace, I kissed him on the cheek, and hugged him.  He hugged me so tight
in return, I was afraid he was going to break something in my neck.  I knew
he did not want to leave.  A seventeen year old feeling accepted by a close
bunch of guys from 19 - 24 has to be intoxicating in any scenario.  But
being so closely tied to all of us, by blood and otherwise had to be rather
overwhelming for him.  Colin lowered Seth's feet to the ground, which put
them face to face again.  Seth took that as an opportunity to embrace this
God one more time.

Looking Colin in the eyes, Seth said, "I'm so glad that you are part of my
family, Colin. I am so happy that Jake is better!  I will miss you so much!
I hate leaving!  I love you!"  And the tears started over again.

"Maybe you can come back east and see us at Easter time!"  Colin said.  Then
Seth turned to Jake and hugged him.  I was next in the circle, and then
Craig.

Seth backed out the door.  "I'll see you at the car," I said.  "I need to
say goodbye to Mom and Dad."

"I want to say goodbye too!"  Said Craig.  So they all followed us out to
the big house.  Mom and Dad were patiently waiting at the car, talking to
Uncle Jake and Auntie Lindy.  Seth hugged both of them and got into the car.
  I hugged my parents good bye.  Rob went to Carrie and was saying something
to her in private.

After all the goodbyes were said and my parents were on their way, Jake and
Colin, Craig and I went back up to our place.

Well, you can imagine what happened next better than I could explain it.
What's that?  You couldn't?  Okay, here goes:

As soon as we stepped in the door our conversation of earlier started back
up as if it never stopped.  "So you think you have a few things you can
teach us?" Craig said.  Colin looked at Jake pleading, no!  I said to Craig,
"You are really serious about this?   A foursome is not - well it's not
something I considered before."

"A foursome?!"  Craig responded.  "Hell no!!  I mean, EWWW!  No!  Jake is
your cousin, for craps sakes!"

"Okay," Jake said, "We have to establish something here.  We can make some
ground rules about what we will do and what we will not do, but come on,
lets at least be honest with ourselves."

"Huh?"  was our unanimous reply.

"Look.  When the ban against familial marriage was made it was for a good
reason.  The offspring could be affected negatively.  Well, is there any
chance of four gay guys, no matter how closely related, will have offspring?
  No!  So don't use that as rationale for us not doing anything we want.
I'm not saying we sould do anything.  I'm just saying be honest.  I am very
honestly attracted to both you and Craig,"  he said, looking at me. "But my
heart is Colin's, and always will be.  I don't want to do anything which
will dilute that.  Question is, if we have sex, as two couples, at the same
time, will that dilute anything?  It won't for me.  I love Colin so much
nothing and nobody will turn me away from him.  I get that you two feel the
same."

"So," Craig said, "How do you feel about it, Jake?  I mean, I have never
done anything like that - well at least not in the same room.  It sounds
kinda hot to me."  He looked at me.  I looked at Jake and Colin.  We all
shrugged. It was decided.

"Lights on or off?"  Jake said.

"OFF!" both Colin and I said at once. So Jake immediately switched off the
light.

"Watch and learn."  Jake said, with an evil tone.  In the semi-dark Craig
and I watched as Jake removed Colin's outer shirt.  Colin was looking
tentative, like he still wasn't sure about this.  Jake then closed in and
kissed him tenderly on the mouth.  Colin closed his eyes and seemed to be
transported somewhere else.  Jake stroked his eye brows, then his hair and
face.  Colin made a very, almost imperceptible moan.  Jake slipped Colin's
undershirt off over his head.  Then they embraced, bare chest to bare chest.
  Colin and Jake both started breathing shorter, and kind of raggedly.  They
seemed to reach for each other's pants at the same time, and soon they were
still standing, but in nothing more than their matching boxer-briefs,
beholding each other as if it was the first time.  Then they closed the gap
between them again and embraced as they shed their boxers.  Both of them
were stiff as iron rods.  Well, actually so were Craig and I by this time.

Jake surprised the hell out of both Craig and I as he picked Colin up and
carried him to the far side of the bed.  He gently laid him down on his side
facing us, and then spooned behind him.

"Your turn!"  He said to us, with a grin.  Talk about performance anxiety!
I felt all thumbs and elbows!  There was so much tender love going on, and I
could tell that Craig was really getting into it.  We both froze for a
moment.  Then I started first.  I tried to do everything exactly as Jake
had.  Craig at first started to object, but I put my finger on his lips.
"Shh."  I whispered, "Just receive - receive my love!"

He gave in and closed his eyes, and he seriously looked like he was in
heaven.  This of course increased my own ardor to a fever pitch!  I could
sense Jake and Colin watching and even they were breathing pretty hard as
they watched.  This also added to my own excitement.  This really surprised
me, as I thought I would be far too nervous, knowing I was being watched.
Also surprised a little, and chagrinned, I struggled as I lifted Craig and
set him "gently" on the bed.

So we were both spooning, the two couples facing each other on the bed..  I
noticed Jake's top arm was over Colin's side and slowly stroking him.  I
almost too quickly grabbed Craig's pulsating member.  He flinched big time!
The others all giggled at that.  They could not see the hotness I felt in my
cheeks.  Craig reached back and squeezed mine.  We were both so hard as
steel!  Colin then twisted his head up and kissed Jake.  With that, Craig
turned completely toward me, and kissed me deeply, while grinding his pelvis
and all that was attached into my eagerly awaiting body.  I shivered and let
out a small high pitched moan.  I heard something on the other side of the
bed and looked.  Jake was now on top of Colin, his hips gently thrusting his
manhood into Colins hand. There must have been a lot of precum, or they
somehow slipped in some lube while we weren't looking, because we could hear
this, "shlook - shlook - shlook - shlook " sound.  We had never though of
that.  I guess Craig liked the idea, because he grabbed me and pulled me
under him, and guided his pecker into my hand, and parroted what Jake was
doing.

As the top guys picked up speed and intensity, Colin locked legs with me for
stability.  Boy, I have to tell you,  that was like a shot of lightening
down to my scrotum!  I think I even let out a shriek.

Then I did something totally unplanned!  And it even took me by surprise!  I
was deeply embarrassed, until Colin reciprocated by taking mine in HIS hand,
and he started beating rapidly.  Encouraged, I followed suit, and soon all
of us were panting and gasping heavily.  Jake went off first.  His screams
seemed to be all the rest of us needed.  Almost simultaneously, Colin, Craig
and I started to moan then someone started laughing.  It was ridiculous, but
we all kept our intensity, but just were laughing so hard - well I could
hardly breathe!  We had all moved to the middle of the bed, facilitated by
Colin's and my legs locked together.  It was so hot, touching 3 of the guys
I loved most in the world, and so wildly climaxing!

"Boy!  Something sure messed up our bed!"  Craig said, when we were
finished.

"Yeah," said Jake, "I think you two better come sleep in our bed!"

"No way!" said Colin, "Unless they take a shower first!  Chris smells like
Cum!"

"I smell like cum?  I smell like Cum?"  I answered.  I attacked him.  Then
Jake came to his aid, and the Craig joined in the fray, until we were all
four tickling and goosing each other until we fell into a giggling mass of
bodies.

Then we all hit the shower.  When Uncle Jake built this guest house,
originally for Jake and Colin, Jake had insisted on a gym type shower, with
three heads, like he had in his old bedroom in the big house.  So there were
three showers, and four of us.  Too bad!  Someone would have to share.  We
both volunteered.  Needless to say one shower was lonely.

As soon as we hit the shower room, Jake bent down and started to lick off
Colin's stomach.

"Ewwww!  Hee hee," Craig said, "the way we were scuffling, there has to be a
mix from all of us there, Jake!"  All he got in return was a signal from
Jake's middle finger.  The shower has hot.  Well, not the water, actually...

**************************************************************

The next day, we were back at LAX, saying good bye to Jake and Colin.  It
was a tearful good bye.  On the way home, Craig was pretty quiet, especially
considering how wild as he was the night before.

"You okay, Craig?"  I said, as I drove 101 toward home.

"What did you think of last night?"  He said.

"It was - different.  Kind of fun, I guess.  Actually a LOT of fun!  HOT!
Are you  - okay - with it?"

"I guess," he countered, "I feel a little funny about it."

"But last night you were the one who was really into it."  I offered.

"I know.  I guess that's what was bothering me." He said, "That and -"

"What, Sweetie?  What is it?"

"I - I - really miss my parents!  I wish Dad would write or something."  I
looked over and saw tears starting to creep down his face.  I reached over
and touched his hand.  That seemed to give him permission.  He laid his head
on my shoulder, wrapped his hands around my torso and held on, while his
shoulders silently shook.  My mind was reeling.  What now?
