David (dlee169@hotmail.com) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Tommy and Tanner, Chapter 74 While the young studs had been helping with construction, Peter hadn't been idle either. He had spent time shopping in secondhand stores for furnishings for the cabin. When he found something he thought would work, he would send a picture to Lee on his phone to make sure they were in agreement. Lee always loved what he picked, but appreciated being advised. It wasn't a case of saving money; the men really wanted items that were dated and/or rustic to go along with the whole theme of the place. On the day Tommy and Tanner were helping to finish the chimney, Peter found an old settle he thought would be perfect in front of the fireplace. It was handmade and had a number of "memory marks" which showed it had been used for many years, possibly centuries. With its high, straight back, it wouldn't be the most comfortable piece of furniture to sit on, but it would serve as a conversation piece and the boxed-in area under the seat panels would provide convenient storage. Peter figured it might be authentic, but the price seemed way too reasonable for a real antique. If it were a reproduction, it was a damned good one! He quickly emailed a picture of it to Lee. "Do you know the provenance of this piece?" he asked of the proprietor. "It's been in my family for over 200 years," she stated. "I was told it was old when my ancestors acquired it." "But you're selling it too cheap then," he exclaimed. "Are you interested in it?" "I certainly am!" "Good! My children don't want old things and sometimes I get the feeling that includes me. I want to see it in the hands of someone who will love it and I believe you're it. If they inherit it, they'll put it up on e-Bay instead of keeping it in the family. I'll knock off another 20 percent if you'll buy it today. I'll even throw in an old quilt that's like what the early settlers used to keep warm on those cold winter nights." "Consider it done. I'll call a kid I know who has a pickup and we'll get it out of here right away." Within half an hour, Devin and Andy showed up. By the time they arrived, Peter had found several other treasures to go with it. They loaded up the pickup to take everything to Lee and Peter's garage until after the floors were finished at the cabin. There was no sense in having things in the way that would have to be moved several times. ---------- Slowly but surely, the men continued to find other furnishings for the cabin. It wouldn't be long before it was fully habitable. Their intent was to keep it on the primitive side while still being livable as a year round retreat if they wished to use it as such. They had provided for a propane heater on each level with flues that were hidden in the main chimney structure. Although they planned to use those sparingly, they figured it would be best to be ready if and when they were needed. They even had ductwork that could be hooked up to a furnace or air conditioning system if someone wanted to turn it into a permanent residence. It could be a cute retirement house for them or a family dwelling for someone who wanted to live that far away from town. The main construction detail that needed attention at present was floor treatment. The bathrooms and kitchen area were all getting tiled as were the shower stalls. The Torrance boys were very helpful in doing that because of working with Hank on their own bathroom. They taught their buddies how to use the tile saw to make precise cuts and soon it was like an assembly line. After the tile was grouted and sealed, a professional team of carpet layers came in to put down a serviceable short-napped carpet in the rest of the living areas including the attic. It was durable enough to withstand lots of wear and tear. Even getting wet wouldn't destroy it in the event that someone left a window open during a rainstorm. They might have tiled the whole downstairs area, but felt the fabric would cut down the transference of sounds, while hard surfaces would cause them to bounce back. The carpet men started in the attic and finished in the basement. When they were done, the place was ready to be used except for the plumbing. Because of a miscalculation made by the subcontractor who was installing the septic tank, it would take a bit longer and cost more than the original estimate. However, since it was his fault, he did cut them a deal when it needed to be moved about 50 yards further away from the original site to avoid contaminating the well. In the mean time, Hank and Toby helped the boys construct an old fashioned outhouse complete with a half moon cut into the door. They located it back in the trees where it would blend in and wouldn't pollute the stream or pool, but still be relatively convenient. ---------- One day during the final stages of the project, Hank and Toby were there with Tommy and Tanner and no one else. Hank seemed nervous and Toby also looked as if he were preoccupied. Finally, Tommy asked the question that Tanner and he were curious about. "Guys, is something going on that you want to talk about? "Um, yeah," Toby mumbled, not looking either of them in the eye. "We're kinda naïve and Hank said we could talk to you and you wouldn't make us feel stupid." "I'm the one who should be doing this because I know them better," Hank said. He took a deep breath and plunged in. "We'd like to, um, consummate our relationship and we need some advice. I'm not assuming anything about what you do in bed and I don't want to offend you, but..." "You want to take the ultimate step," Tanner finished his sentence. Both young men blushed and nodded. They seemed to be embarrassed and relieved at the same time. "We do make love in all the ways we're aware of," Tanner smiled. "You can ask us anything and we'll tell you what we know. First, I'd like to pass on what Lee and Peter told us. That is, you don't need to assume that you have to have anal intercourse to show your love for each other. Some guys seem to think it's the ultimate thing in a relationship, but there are couples who don't practice it regularly. Frottage and oral stimulation can be as fulfilling. We do it sometimes, but not always." Tommy sensed that Hank might be more sheltered than they had been and might not know what the term "frottage" meant, so he took over for a minute, using the vernacular rather than being quite as clinical in his terminology. "You guys have probably enjoyed rubbing your bodies together until you cum, as well as jacking and sucking. We like 69 very much because of getting and giving pleasure at the same time. I'll bet you like that stuff too. So, were your questions about how to get laid without discomfort?" "Uh, y-yeah," Hank stammered. "That's cool with us," Tommy assured him. "We were in the same boat, but Uncle Lee and Uncle Peter helped us out by buying us toys and awesome lube. We'll make a list of things for you to get from an adult shop or at lifeout on line. You're old enough and we weren't, so you can get whatever you need." "Thanks," Hank blushed again. "We've been on the web some, but wanted to talk to a real person about it. Thanks for not being upset with us." "We feel we ought to pass on anything we know to our friends since it was all passed on to us," Tanner assured him. "We'd talk to anyone with questions we might be able to answer. We know some stuff about STDs that you might want to hear about, like HPV. We got hepatitis B shots to be on the safe side even though we don't plan to get intimate with anyone else. You should get them too because you never know when you might come in contact with someone else's blood on a construction site even if you don't ever rim anyone." Once Hank and Toby felt comfortable with the conversation, they had several questions that they'd been afraid to ask anyone else. Although it felt a bit strange to be instructed by kids younger than they were, it was great to have someone to talk to in a frank and open way. "We're planning to become domestic partners soon, but we want to have a commitment ceremony as well," Toby announced. "We thought you might have some ideas on how to make it special since you stood up with Peter and Lee." "I can think of a number of things that might be nice. I'd like to run them by our uncles before we discuss it further." Tanner said. "We could use advice about writing meaningful vows too," Toby ventured. "We want it all to be as perfect as possible." "We can help with that," Tanner assured him. "We'll email you a copy of what our uncles used and you could use them as a starting place." "Cool!" Toby exclaimed. "This is like one-stop shopping for gay weddings!" At the end, all embraced like brothers. ---------- On their way back to Middleton, Tommy and Tanner discussed their thoughts. Not surprisingly, they had both come up with a similar idea. To them, the acreage was an ideal site for a ceremony and possibly the honeymoon as well if their uncles agreed. Tommy was driving, so Tanner whipped out his cell to text their uncles with their tentative plan. Both Lee and Peter got back to him in a matter of minutes and pronounced the idea excellent. The boys were commissioned to contact Hank to find out what date they had in mind and whom they'd like to have on their guest list. The boys were home by the time Hank called them. He nearly choked up when he expressed his gratitude for their thoughtfulness. Toby and he were talking about officially becoming domestic partners on a Friday morning in mid-August, followed by a commitment ceremony and a lunch. Hank's mother had been planning the menu, but they'd been having difficulty booking a spot in the park for it on short notice. Being able to use the acreage would solve the problem and they wouldn't have to drive anywhere for their honeymoon. ---------- As soon as the septic system was installed and certified, Peter and Lee threw a big party at the acreage for everyone involved in the building as well as other friends and family members, including Hank's and Toby's parents. They also invited the instructor of the design class where the idea had originated. It was on a Saturday so that the adults wouldn't likely be at work, and so the younger set could stay over at least until Sunday to frolic in the pond when most of the adults wouldn't be around to inhibit their nudity. Almost everyone who was invited showed up and the range of people ran the gamut from extended family to friends who were connected in a number of different ways. The Cook's and the Bryant's had been surprised to be included, but were pleased to attend. Their sons hadn't helped in the project but had been subs in the mowing business at times so Tommy and Tanner could. The age range of the guests was rather wide as well. Herbert and Dorothy were the oldest, and Tori was the youngest. Dorothy was very pleased to find that Lee had chosen to make her old table the focal point of the kitchen. It fit well with the settle and other antiques and could be extended to seat a goodly number of diners, with the breakfast bar to take care of additional ones. Today, both areas held the food and table service because the lunch was served buffet style. The dining chairs were placed around in the great room to seat those who wished to remain inside, and there were folding chairs on the patio for those who didn't. Hank's mother, Barbara Black, had a special interest in being there as did Vera, Toby's mother. The two ladies wanted to scope the layout to know how to plan for their sons' ceremony. They were very pleased with the possibilities. Despite its relatively small size, the kitchen area had everything that was needed. The caterer would probably have to bring along coolers to store all of the food, but that wouldn't be a problem. The covered patio would be a perfect place to set up banquet tables which wouldn't be at risk in inclement weather unless there were severe storms. Hank's and Toby's fathers were possibly the proudest people there. Along with Jeff Priest, the community college building design teacher, they examined every detail and pronounced it all excellent. The three of them explored the cabin from stem to stern. "I'd like to see Hank and Toby design more buildings of this type," Jeff said. "Now that the economy seems to be picking up again, there will be more call for them as vacation retreats. In fact, this would be a perfect model for rebuilding primary residences in places prone to tornado and other storm damage. Imagine this with a steel roof where hail and wind play havoc with traditional shingles. It could also be built on a larger scale to accommodate a larger family. I think we should form a partnership and get this off the ground. You two and I might be able to come up with some seed money and they could certainly come up with ideas. We could be a sounding-board for them to make sure their plans are feasible. Henry, with your years of practical experience and precision craftsmanship and my design experience, we could give them a leg up if they're at all interested! Bob, your business sense would be invaluable to them." "I'm all for it!" Henry replied with enthusiasm. "This could be the ticket to expanding the company I've worked so hard to build. It might turn it into something to pass down to Hank and Toby's children if they decide to have any." "I'd be happy to help bankroll it too," Bob said. "I'll bet the guys will give us grandchildren. There are many options for same-sex couples today that weren't there in the past." Other parents and friends in the crowd were nearly as proud. Chris's dad praised Drake and him for the fine job they'd done. Charley Mosbeck and Chris Roberts were liberal in their accolades too. Tark also beamed when his sons pointed out the work they'd been involved in. He thought the tile work was perfect. The younger guys' mothers were proud too, but had less time to express it because of watching over some of the younger kids who were splashing in the shallow end of the pond. Nick was a very good swimmer, but Cathy was afraid that his expertise might lead him to take chances that he shouldn't. It was also possible that Nikki might end up in trouble trying to keep up with her more accomplished brother. She hated to have her twin outshine her at anything! The party lasted several hours, but by late afternoon it was winding down. Almost all of the younger set was staying the night. They had brought along camping equipment because they weren't sure there'd be enough places for everyone to crash. Jared was insistent that he wanted to sleep in a tent. Part of his reason was that he wanted privacy so Bobby and he could make love, but part was because he kind of missed the way things had been in the beginning. He was really pleased that they could use the cabin year round, but in a way it was a little too much like civilization. He enjoyed roughing it. Not everyone stayed. Tim and Melody left for Middleton at the same time Teri, Tark, Tuck, and Tori did. Tim didn't want to be away from her even though she told him he didn't have to leave on her account. She didn't want him to fee he couldn't do things with the guys. While Tim would have enjoyed the camaraderie, he really hoped to at least get into some heavy petting with her. They could probably have had the privacy of the main-floor bedroom in the cabin, but she still would have been exposed to a lot of naked guys had she stayed. That was something he'd have been uncomfortable with whether or not she would have. Tuck had a date. ---------- The minute the young guys were on their own, everyone stripped and headed for the pond. There was still plenty of daylight and the air temperature was warm enough to make the water feel quite refreshing. Some of the guys jumped right in to hide their growing erections, while others walked around feeling proud that they measured up. Among the latter were Jake and Damon. "That's a big boner for a white boy," Damon teased. "You don't need to feel ashamed; you're almost as hung as I am," Jake teased back. "Actually, if we put them side by side, I'll bet it's a draw. "We could do that, but not in front of the rest or we'll never live it down," Damon smiled. "Anyway, I'm glad you're here. I thought maybe I'd be the only straight boy, knowing the guys Michael hangs around with." "That could be true!" Jake agreed. "Tuck's straight, but I guess he's got a date to a movie with Tara Estling. You think he'll get any tonight?" "Nah, there won't be any opportunity. Tara's parents are pretty protective. Besides, I don't think Tuck would push her into it even if he wanted it pretty bad." "What if she wanted it bad too?" Jake giggled. "Maybe they'll sit in the back row and he'll get a blowjob." "That would be cool!" Damon grinned. "You ever had one?" "I've messed around some," Jake said, trying not to sound naïve. "Ever jacked off with another boy?" Damon asked pointblank. "Have you?" Jake countered. "Maybe." "Maybe yes or maybe no?" "Maybe yes. Would you think I was gay if I did?" "No, I've done it too. I'm thinking I'll have to do something if I'm around all these horny guys. Look at my brother and Drake making out over there. They look like they're gonna bust a nut!" "Would you like to take a little walk back into the woods a ways?" Damon asked. "Yeah, I would if you would." "Cool; let's go!" ---------- Michael didn't miss his little bro because Lance and he were gazing into each other's eyes with a look of pure lust. Tanner suggested to Michael that they get a room. In this case, the private bedroom on the main floor of the cabin is what he had in mind. They hurried to it, but heard sounds of lovemaking emanating from it, so decided to go to the basement. It was cooler down there and there were a couple of bunks which would serve their purpose. Not even 15 minutes had elapsed before they were drinking one another's nectar. ---------- Shortly after 7:00, Tommy and Tanner started a campfire. When it got going, they went to the cabin to bring out coolers of sodas and leftovers. Andy and Devin brought paper plates and plastic forks. Soon everyone was chowing down except for Chris and Drake who were just coming from the cabin, their soft dicks swinging with each step. "What happened to your stiffies?" Jake teased them. "Probably the same thing that happened to yours," Chris joked in return. "Did he spew all over you, Damon?" Damon blushed despite his dark complexion. Chris was pretty sure he'd hit a nerve. "Shut up!" Jake grinned at his brother. "Don't be accusing my friend and me of doin' what you guys do." "I'm not accusing, I spotted the jizz on his abs." Damon made the mistake of checking his body for cum, and it set him up for a bit of teasing. Before long, Michael bumped fists with his brother and Jake; the rest of the guys followed his example. They all thought it was cute that the two straight boys might have been involved in a little play-time too. Jake and Damon shared a knowing grin. ---------- When darkness descended, Jared got out the supplies for s'mores and then the guys all sang a few "naughty" songs. Following that, Jared and Bobby performed a tandem cock-flop dance that was extremely hot. They ended it by dueling with their "sabers" which were dripping strings of precum. Even the ones who had gotten off in the afternoon showed evidence they were stimulated by the show. Soon, everyone went to their various sleeping spots, some in the cabin and others in tents. Doubtless, more protein was exchanged or spilled. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's notes: Thanks to all who responded this week.
