Since it was DJ's van, Dane did the driving while Colt navigated. They had remembered most of the landmarks, so their destination was easily reached. They were soon pulling into the parking lot. Their lunch and soft drinks were packed in the smaller cooler and each guy had a large towel. Allen carried the sun lotion that they would share. They agreed to take turns carrying the cooler. "It's a pretty good hike to the river, so we can truthfully say that we did a lot of walking." Colt assured their companions, what a mischievous grin. "How soon can we get naked?" Allen asked. Colt and Dane cracked up with laughter. "Hey, for the token straight-boy, you certainly are an exhibitionist!" Dane chuckled. "Well, I want to show off my manly attributes for the ladies to enjoy," Allen remarked. "Unlike my `little' brother, I have a lot to offer." "The last time we checked, I won," Alex snickered. The good-natured banter continued for the next several minutes. Eventually, they made it to the beach. Allen was taken aback as he saw how many people of all ages and body-types were lying or walking around very casually despite being naked as the day they were born. Alex and Joel were impressed too. They had been nude together on a private beach in Belize and at the lake, but didn't have any real experience with a co-ed situation. Dane led the group to the left of the path so that they were on the edge of the all-male section. The boys laid their towels down and began to strip. Because of the times they had all spent nude together at the lake, no one was self-conscious. But once Allen looked around to see that he was on display to the opposite sex, he had to lie face down to avoid embarrassing himself. The other guys teased him a bit about boning up so quickly. "You're going to make all those middle aged ladies over there drool. They'll probably hold you down and have their way with you!" "Shut up," Allen giggled. "Just because I'm the only one in this crowd that is man enough to draw some attention...." "Don't flatter yourself, bro," Alex retorted. After coating each other's bodies with lotion, the guys all ventured further into the all-male section. Dane had told the others about their experiences here when they were with Wade and Roger. Joel and Alex appreciated the eye-candy that was lying around. There were lots of buff looking college age guys as well as some older ones who didn't look half bad. It was difficult to keep from sprouting an instant log. As they walked by, one guy sighed loudly and exclaimed to his partner: "Oh God, I'm either seeing double or those are the cutest twins I've ever laid eyes on. I wonder if they're friendly. I hope they don't bite! Or, maybe that would be fun." Joel grabbed Alex's hand so that there would be no doubt as to whether or not Alex was available for fun with anyone. Alex grinned at Joel's possessiveness. He loved being admired and desired (it didn't hurt his ego one bit), but he wasn't thinking of straying and he enjoyed the fact that Joel was claiming him as personal property. After walking back to the spot they had staked out with their towels and cooler, the boys continued toward the couples' side. Allen carried his towel, just in case, but he was disappointed that many of the women he saw were ageing enough to have saggy breasts. That immediately took the starch out of his tool. Then he spotted a girl about his own age who was absolutely beautiful. Her body was trim and shapely. Her breasts were pert and firm. He wanted to go up to her and caress those beauties. She looked up at him and smiled. He could feel the blood beginning to flow toward his crotch in such a rush that it left him light-headed. In a very few minutes, it was going to be pretty obvious what he was thinking. Fortunately, he could let his beach towel hang in front of him from his arm. The girl blushed as she realized why he was covering himself. "Would you like to hang out with me for awhile," she asked. Allen nodded, not being able to speak. He spread his towel out quickly and lay down on his stomach, nearly plowing a trench in the sand underneath it. (But not before the girl got a quick look at the magnificent monster.) The other guys continued their walk and then leisurely went back to their original spot. All were probably plumped up just a bit because they felt like exhibitionists, but none was at half mast so they weren't embarrassed. It was a kind of cool knowing that people were appraising their bodies in a positive way. -------------------------------- By noon, the guys were hungry for lunch. Allen appeared suddenly to claim his share of the picnic. He talked animatedly about the girl he had met. She was going to be a freshman at the university in Madison. He had never given that school a second look, but suddenly wondered if they would have any football scholarships. The other guys giggled at his enthusiasm. "Jeez, all any school would have to do is put a naked girl in front of you and you would enroll whether they had a team or not." Alex kidded. "I thought that you and I were going to play football together at Iowa or maybe Notre Dame." "Yeah, I know, but she's so pretty and really sweet. She didn't come on to me or anything. We even talked about religion and she's Episcopalian. I'm thinking we could join Father Jerry's church in Cosgrove when we get back." "You are impossible big bro," Alex teased. "Do you really believe in love at first sight? I think you are too young to be getting serious anyway." "And didn't you fall for Joel the first time you saw him and aren't you younger than I am?" Allen retorted. "Yeah and yeah," Alex admitted as he leaned over to plant a kiss on his lover's cheek. Joel moved his head so that their lips met and they spent a couple of minutes gently kissing. "You two are making me horny," Colton complained. "Breathing makes you horny," Dane snickered. "Yeah, and what's your point?" Colt grinned in return. "Do you think we should leave Allen here with that girl and go back to camp to spend some quality time with our boyfriends?" "If you guys left me here, I'd probably never see you again," Allen pouted. "I'd be stranded for hours at best." "Well, we could take you with us, but send you to the rec center for an hour or so." Alex suggested. "You're the only one who got off last night." Allen blushed. "Don't be coy, bro. I can still get inside your head a lot and you know it." Allen told them that he wanted to hang out at the beach for a few more hours and that they would have to wait until later for loving unless they wanted to find some bushes to do it in. The others said that they were only having fun with him and that they too wanted some more time in the sun too. At that point, everyone got lathered up with sun-screen again and Allen went back to find the pretty co-ed. He returned about an hour later saying that she and the girls she had come with were heading back to Madison. He might not see her again, but they had exchanged e-mail addresses. He was grinning from ear to ear and the others thought that he was either in love or had been left out in the sun too long. They all moved into the shade for awhile and drank some more water. The guys stayed on the beach until 5:00 o'clock when they reluctantly put their shorts back on to enter civilization again. The walk back to the parking lot seemed shorter than it had when they were going to the beach. The realization that they weren't being hunted by some crazy person, intent on doing the bodily harm, was beginning to sink in fully. They were as full of energy as they had been in the morning. And, of course, Allen was walking on air. -------------------------------- Dane and Colt did the cooking that night and it was fine. They wrapped some well-scrubbed baking potatoes in aluminum foil and buried them in some sand in the fire-ring. Then, they scooped hot embers on top. While those were baking, everyone went to shower off the lotion, sweat, and dust from their day at the beach. When they got back, Colt prepared chicken breasts with a mixture he had put together at home. He placed them in an aluminum pan and covered them with foil before setting the pan over a medium-hot part of the fire. While he was doing that, Dane was getting out carrots, celery, and sliced green peppers for their veggies. The guys all munched on some of those while awaiting the main course. As they were sitting around patting their satisfied tummies after their meal, Joel asked for the recipe. It was very tasty and didn't require much preparation. He was thinking ahead of what kinds of things he and Alex could cook when they were on their own. Colt was flattered that they liked it that well. He mentioned that he had doubled the recipe because he figured they would all eat that much. -------------------------------- In order to give the couples some time alone, Allen went to the recreation center to play some games. He bumped into a couple of people he thought he had seen on the beach. One of the young men came over to him and put an arm around his shoulder. "My partner and I would like to know if you would join us in our camper for some fun. Your boyfriend is welcome too. By the way, where is he?" "Sorry, man, you have me mixed up with someone else. I don't have a boyfriend." "Yeah, well, he seemed pretty possessive on the beach." "Oh, that was my twin brother and his boyfriend. I'm afraid that I'm the straight one. And don't bother to invite either of them. They are practically married to each other!" The other guy blushed and removed his arm. "I'm really sorry for the mix-up. I hope you aren't really pissed at me." "Nah, that's okay. I'm used to being mistaken for Alex and I have a number of gay friends. It's no biggy. And thanks for thinking I'm hot enough to be desirable." The other guy smiled knowing that he hadn't made an enemy of this strong-looking young dude. Too bad the kid was straight! Too bad his brother was monogamous. -------------------------------- With Allen gone, the others didn't need to be prompted to make good use of their time. It was fairly dark in the tent, but not to the point of obscuring everything that was going on. Dane and Colt kissed gently, and then Colt put a wrestling hold on Dane that landed him on his back with Colt on top. He looked intently into Dane's eyes as his face slowly approached his lover's. Their lips met in a passionate kiss. "Oh, Colt, that's so much like the first time. I remember how my heart raced -- and all my blood went to my dick!" Overhearing the quiet conversation, Joel and Alex decided to replicate their first kiss on the beach in Belize. It was so awesome that they were both shaking from the experience. The boys all quickly shed the few clothes that they and on. Dane pulled out the king sized sheet that he and Colt used inside their sleeping bags. He spread it over both couples. Despite having made love in front of the other guys, Dane was feeling like he wanted this to be more personal and private. Joel and Alex were happy that he did. They were feeling the same way. Within moments, no one thought about the presence of anyone else but his own lover. Colt was on top of Dane and Joel was on top of Alex. They were kissing deeply and slowly, sensuously rubbing their bodies together. Dane cupped Colt's butt to aid in the pleasurable sensations of frottage. Alex was doing something similar to Joel. Dane ran his fingers over the firm, yet spongy globes that he gripped. He enjoyed every inch in his grasp. Eventually, when he sensed that Colt was nearly as close as he was to cumming, he slipped a finger into the crevice between those lovely orbs. Colt let out a gasp and went rigid for a split second before pumping out a gusher. The hot cum on Dane's abs was the last straw. He couldn't hold back another nano-second. He thrust upward with a deep-throated moan that was worthy of a porn star. His load joined with Colt's as Colt kept stirring the mixture with very slight movements. Their vocal orgasm must have ignited the passions of their companions to an even higher level because seconds later, Joel and Alex were whimpering and moaning in the throes of an awesome climax. When the panting died down, everyone giggled. "We sound like the sound track from a porno movie!" Dane snickered. "And remember how naïve we were a couple of years ago? But it was so sweet the first time we rubbed our bodies together even if it was in the toilet stall in the locker room." "You did that in the locker room?" Alex gasped. "Yeah, it was after school and no one was around and we couldn't wait!" Colt giggled. "Our first time was on the beach," Joel informed them. "I guess we could have been discovered as easily. But like tonight, once I tasted Alex's kiss, everything else just disappeared. We were the only ones in the universe. I guess that's how we can make love right beside you guys without feeling guilty or embarrassed or whatever...." The rest agreed. Both couples had a lot of sticky mess between them. Joel was wondering how they could get cleaned up enough to go to the shower house when Colt raised up and began to lick Dane's abs. Dane rolled his lover over on his back and returned the favor. That broke down Joel's inhibitions and soon Alex and he were giving each other a tongue-bath. Moments later, Joel was kneeling in silent tears after Dane hugged him. Dane embraced Alex next and Colt followed suit. When he could trust his voice Joel spoke. "Dane, you don't know how much your friendship means to me. I can never forget how I came on to Colt and nearly screwed you guys up. You have gone far beyond the second mile by putting your lives on the line for Alex and me." "Joel, we know that what you did was done in innocence. You didn't know that Colt was my lover as well as my cousin. It was my stupid hard-headedness that nearly wrecked things with my stallion here." "Nothing could ever have kept us apart for long," Colton assured them. "We were destined to be together." The guys grabbed their still-damp towels and headed for the showers after pulling on some shorts with nothing under them. There was no sense getting any remaining cum on anything else. They showered leisurely and talked again about how close they had all become. They all hugged again before putting their clothes back on. -------------------------------- When they got back to the tent, Allen was there using a newspaper in an exaggerated fanning motion. He claimed that he had been overcome by the fumes of fresh boy-juice. The others told him that he'd better go to the bathroom and produce some of his own. Surprisingly, he headed out admitting that he might. Later, he returned to the tent grinning and relaxed. No one had to ask if he had carried through. Like on the night before, the cool, pine-scented air helped the guys drift off to a peaceful sleep. Of course, their recent orgasms and the fact that there was finally less stress in their lives didn't hurt either. Colt slept very well. The recent fears had not triggered the old images of his step-father's coming after him with a knife. He was healing emotionally more every day. If he did awaken in the night, he had only to spoon against his lover to feel the comfort of human touch. -------------------------------- Dane awakened around 7:00 on Sunday morning with an urgent need to piss. It wasn't helped any by the sounds of rain gently falling. He got up and quickly pulled on a pair of shorts (which turned out to be Colt's) and hastened to the restroom. While he was enjoying the relief, Colton came up to the urinal beside him wearing Dane's shorts. He barely got his penis out of the fly before he let go a torrent. They looked around the place to make sure no one else was there and then proceeded to shake the drops off of each other's dick. It was a gesture that they enjoyed occasionally at home. They grinned and chanced a quick kiss. The other guys were beginning to stir when they returned. Everyone got their toiletry kits and went to brush their teeth and get ready for the day. "We can't cook very well in this weather, so I'm treating for breakfast," Allen announced. "We can have a big meal and then decide if it's going to clear up enough to stay most of the day or whether we want to head home." The rest agreed that it sounded like a good plan and were soon seated at the local IHOP having a hearty breakfast. There was an all-you-can-eat pancake special on the menu. The boys nearly bankrupted the place with their teen appetites. -------------------------------- The rain had stopped by the time breakfast was over. A watery sun was trying to dispel the clouds. It was decided that they would leave the tent up to dry as much as it could and go hike part of the trail that Colton and Dane had bicycled earlier in the summer. They would make lunch when they got back to camp and then pack up to go home to Bentonville. Colt picked the more scenic part of the trail which edged the water. It was rather difficult to bike, but wouldn't be bad for hiking. The boys were impressed with all of the wildlife they encountered along the way. There were several otters playing in the river and a few deer coming down for a morning drink. It was all very peaceful and serene because most hikers weren't out yet. The boys carried on some short, quiet conversations, but mostly they reveled in the beauty of nature in the morning. "It's times like these when I can really believe in God," Joel said in a reverently quiet voice. "I feel like there is something or someone greater than any of us. Do you know what I mean?" "Yeah," Alex agreed as he squeezed his boyfriend's hand. The others nodded. They had taken the shorter route, and so were back at the van around 11:30. They drove to the campground where they fixed lunch before taking down the tent and packing up. The tent had dried out sufficiently, so it could be swept out and folded away without fear of mildew. On the road home, they commented on what a lovely weekend it had been despite the initial reason for the trip. "Grandma has always said that it's an ill wind that blows no one good." Joel said. "I think that old saying fits." "I think it's also an ill wind if no one gets blown!" Alex quipped. "I don't want to hear any details about last night!" Allen responded as he playfully punched his twin's shoulder." "And you aren't getting any, I promise." Alex shot back. "By the way Bro, thanks for giving us some time last night. You're really okay. I think we should make you an honorary gay-boy. You're sensitive and you know how to cook!" The bantering went on for miles as it often seemed to among these guys. They were very comfortable with each other. It was great to be able to tease knowing that no one was going to take it wrong and get his feelings hurt. As they were pulling into Bentonville, Joel thanked his friends again for standing by Alex, Allen, and him. "When I came to this little town, I thought I was going to hate it. I figured everyone would be a country hick or something. But now I know it was the best move of my life. I've been to a number of exotic places and stayed in luxury suites, but I've never had a more enjoyable vacation than I have had this weekend with the four of you -- other than my trip to Belize with Alex, of course. Some of the simple pleasures are the best." The others were quiet for a few minutes as they digested what Joel had said. Each felt a bit of pride knowing that there was a special bond among the guys in this group. Dane's phone began to vibrate as he neared his grandmother's street. "Hello," he answered. "Okay, we'll be there as soon as we unpack the van. --- Yeah, it was great. --- Yeah, we did! --- See you in a few." "That was Dad. We are supposed to go out to the lake. Everyone is there. They thought they would catch us before we got to town. I guess we got started earlier than they expected or else I made better time than I thought I would. Anyway, Joel's grandparents are having a barbeque and party to celebrate the fact that we don't have to look over our shoulders anymore." The guys quickly stowed away all of the gear and headed for the lake. They were greeted warmly by their families and treated to a feast. The adult males were out tending the grills while drinking a couple of "cold ones." The women had combined their talents in creating enough other food to feed a small army. Jane had rented a dining canopy, tables, and chairs for the occasion. It wasn't as fancy as a graduation party, but it was certainly as well supplied with goodies. As the evening wore on, the adults began to pack things away. The guys all pitched in so that it wouldn't take so long. Most everyone went back to town for the night. The boys opted to stay at the Masterson's cottage with Joel. They could all ride back into town the next day in Dane and Colt's car which DJ had driven out in. With the twins and all of their equipment, he was happy to get his van back. Allen opted to take an early shower and go to bed. The other four showered together in the big downstairs stall before going to their respective rooms. In the brand new queen sized beds, the couples cuddled together talking about the events of the past week. They were relaxed and tired. The sandman soon arrived carrying them off to dreamland. -------------------------------- Author's note: Here is the easy recipe that Colt cooked for the guys' dinner. You might want to line the pan with a piece of foil if you don't want to have to soak and scrub later. You could substitute some other kind of dry Italian dressing mix if this isn't available in your area. You can also vary the proportions and still come up with a winner. Easy Parmesan Garlic Chicken ½ Cup Grated parmesan cheese 1 envelope Good Seasons Italian Salad Dressing Mix 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 2 lbs.) ½ teaspoon garlic powder Mix cheese, garlic powder, and salad dressing mix. Moisten chicken with water; coat with cheese mixture. Place in a shallow baking dish. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Serves 6.
