Chapter #5

I don't remember how long I sat in the cab of Gramps
truck thinking about the things that had happened in
our lives when I suddenly realized the weather
conditions were getting worse. Driving the back roads
in day time was bad enough but night was a real
challenge and Gramps was probably worrying himself
sick about now and I started down the hill driving
over the rain swollen creek before it flooded the new
concrete bridge the county had finally installed. The
rest of the way home was fairly easy and before much
longer I pulled into the drive. Just as I reached the
house Gramps came out on the porch with his
flashlight.

"Luke, where in the hell have you been boy? I was
worried out of my mind."

"I'm sorry Gramps, I sort of lost track of time and
didn't think about the weather."

"Well get inside and change out of those wet clothes
while I fix you something to eat. How about the stone,
did they get it installed okay?"

"Yes sir. Billy and Josh did a good job of it even
though it was raining. I'll be right down."

Gramps warmed up his special chicken and dumplings
with biscuits and hot tea. He sat with me at the
kitchen table as I ate and the conversation seemed to
revert back to when Matt and I had returned from
Europe with our Mother.  She only stayed a few days
and that in a motel rather then on the farm.

Gramps was given a power of attorney that covered
taking care of Matt and I while they were overseas. It
was a blanket document that covered both of us but
since I was 18 some of its provisions would not apply.
Since I would be entering college I could still use
government facilities along with Matt. We didn't know
it then but that would be the last time we saw our
parents alive.

"Its funny Luke, you and Matt seemed to be here just
as much as with your parents. I never have figured
them out, especially that son of mine."

"Is that the reason he does not visit you that much
Gramps?"

"Partly that I guess. But your dad always was strong
willed. When he wanted something he went after it. One
thing he did not want was living on a farm even though
it paid for his education. Your grandmother and I
loved him but we always wanted another child."

"Why didn't you have anymore Gramps?"

"We tried but she wasn't able after having a hard time
with your father. Her doctor told us after an
examination that her fallopian tubes had been damaged when
he was born and she couldn't conceive. That really hit
her pretty hard. We both thought about adopting but it
would not be the same. I guess we put a lot more into
raising your dad then we should have after that. When
you were born you would have thought your grandmother
had given you birth she was so happy. Matt was really
the icing on the cake for her. I never knew any woman
that wanted kids like she did. She, we both loved you
and Matt."

"I don't remember that much about her Gramps but I do
remember her holding me on her lap in that old rocker
in the living room."

"Yeah, she would rock both of you in that old chair.
Its getting late Luke, we better hit the sack."

I could see Gramps eyes getting a little watery
thinking about Grandma and I helped him clear the
table before going up to my room. He turned at the
door into his room looking at me. "Sure glad you are
okay Luke, get a good nights rest."

"I will Gramps, you too. Gramps, thanks for worrying
about me, I love you."

"Good night Luke, see you in the morning."

He didn't have to say he loved me, I could see it from
the tears that trickled down his cheek and I went up
to my room a warm feeling all over me.

		     * * * * * * * * *

The rain sounded like it was falling harder then when
I got home. On the second floor of Gramps house there
was only a small crawl space between the ceiling and
the roof of the house. Lots of times Matt and I had
laid awake listening to other rains but this time I
was alone. Matt and I had sort of taken over the
upstairs in Gramps house when we were with him. He
only came up when one of us was sick but otherwise he
let us have it all to ourselves. We kept it clean
although Matt was better at that then I was. I took
care of the laundry and changing of sheets and
pillowcases and bath towels while he did all of the
rest. There was a second bedroom but it slowly became
our storage room.  Upstairs had become our sanctuary
and was seldom violated but now it was an empty space
for me without Matt.

Everywhere I looked it was like he had never left. The
things on his dresser were still as he had left them
that morning he went riding without me. His Addis
sneakers were still under the bed where he had left
them, a dirty pair of athletic socks laying over them.
The clothes he was wearing on the day of the accident
were left with the funeral home when Gramps took what
they needed for his burial, I couldn't do it. The rain
was louder now as I sat on the edge of our bed Matt's
shadow in the corners of the room, everywhere I
looked.

Slowly undressing, I dropped my clothes on the floor
not bothering to hang them up. Slipping naked between
the sheets with a downy comforter over me I tried
sleeping but I couldn't, my thoughts kept drifting
back over the day. Billy and Josh had placed Matt's
marker and all I could think of was the finality of
only 22 years he had been with me. Never again would I
feel his strong arms around me or smell his
distinctive clean body odor, the smell of the special
Turkish Musk cologne that I had given him on his 21st
birthday. His special scent seemed to be everywhere even
as I finally slipped off to sleep clutching Matt's
pillow in my arms, the rain like a staccato drum beat
against the window. I dreamed of Matt and his special
21st birthday.

		     * * * * * * * * *

The UPS truck pulled up in front of Gramps house and
the driver delivered two fairly large parcels
addressed to Matthew Lawrence. The return address was
Colonel and Mrs. Walter Lawrence Jr., American
Embassy, Zurich, Switzerland. Mom and Dad or rather
mother never forgot either one of our birthdays or the
normal holidays that required gifts, seldom a letter
but always the gifts.

Matt unwrapped the packages and Gramps and I watched.
He rummaged around in the boxes looking for a note or
a card and found the card under the lapel of the new
sport coat that had been sent.

Opening it he read the card and handed it to me,
"nothing unusual Luke", just a hint of sadness.

"Well looks like you have a couple of new outfits for
school. Trust your mother to think of school Matt. She
wants you and Luke dressed properly."

"Yeah Gramps, she does that. It would be nice if maybe
she and Dad could find time and fly home for a few
days but that might interfere with official and social
duties." Matt said even more sadly.

Matt and I went riding and later Gramps took us into
Lexington for Matt's birthday dinner. After we got
back home, Gramps poured a small glass of wine for all
of us and toasted Matt's 21st birthday and he hugged both
of us before going to his room. The day ended pretty
nicely after all and we went to our room.

Matt and I sat on the edge of the bed and I reached
into the drawer of the nightstand for a final gift I
had gotten for him.

"What's this Luke?"

"Something special I thought you might like. You
always fuss at the colognes I use after shaving so I
got you your own. I ordered that from an ad I saw in a
men's magazine, it's authentic Turkish Musk. Open it,
I haven't smelled it."

"Not yet Luke, do me a favor. Take your shower first
and then I'll take mine, okay?"

"Why Matt? We always shower together."

"Just do it for me please."

I was a little puzzled but did as he asked me and
waited in bed while he showered wondering what he was
up to. I found out..."

Matt came out of the bathroom and the light seemed to
make his body seem softer more supple as he walked
around the end of the bed slipping between the sheets.
Sliding to me he melted in my arms and a warm heady
musky sandalwood fragrance seemed to enfold us, he had
put some of the new cologne on after he showered. My
cock swelled to full staff as I inhaled and I felt him
press his body tightly against me.

"Damn Mattie, that cologne smells fantastic, sexy."

"Was that my special present or only part of it?"

"Just a part of it." I said as our lips met tongues
searching and exploring.

Matt snuggled against me whimpering softly, "Take me
Lukie."

I slowly rolled him on his back my hands exploring the
firm taut muscles of his body. I knew every part,
every muscle of Matt's body but I always seemed to
find something I had missed. He groaned as lip kissed
his breasts and my hands ran up and down his rib cage
muscles rippling under my touch. Slowly working my way
down until my tongue found his bellybutton and kissing
it he stiffened and gasped. Matt's cock lay just below
my lips and I took it with my lips slowly moving down
its soft throbbing length until my chin was resting in
the thickness of his soft pubic bush. I rolled his
balls in my hand working the head of his dripping cock
with my throat muscles Matt's hands holding my head in
place while his hips moved lifting, pushing his steel
hard rod deeper. Groaning softly "yesss Lukie, yesss.
Suck it for me Lukie drain me take the life from me
Lukie."

Lifting off of his cock I kissed him and whispered
"not yet little brother, not yet." I shifted between
his legs reaching for the lubricant on the nightstand.
Lubricating my cock liberally, Matt lifted his legs as
I leaned in to him placing them on my shoulders. I
leaned closer and Matt placed the head of my cock at
the entrance he wanted filled. His eyes gleamed as he
looked up at me and I pushed steadily feeling his anus
give way as my cock slipped inside his hot wet
rectum, his sphincter snapped around the head and he
tensed sucking in his breath. The scent of sandalwood
surrounded us as I slowly entered Matt's rectum inch
by inch. Brushing his prostate I watched as his cock
sprang up rock hard pre-cum oozing from the oval slit
in its head. Deeper I pressed until I felt my soft
thick pubic hair resting on his sensitive perineum my
balls lying in the cleft of his ass cheeks.

His eyes sparkled and gleamed as I leaned down and
kissed his soft succulent lips, "happy birthday
Mattie."

"The present I have waited for Lukie. Take me; fill me
with your life's force Lukie. Make us one again."

I drove my cock inside Matt for a long time taking my
time letting him feel just how much I loved him. He
was my one and only lover the light of my life, the
seed of my being. He was my Mattie and I belonged to
him.  I kissed him feeling my climax gathering,
rising up its hard length. I twisted gently touching
his prostate and he arched his back his gorgeous
muscled body lifting as his cock swelled jerking and
gushing hot molten streams of his life's force with
mine as I emptied in his bowels spasm after heated
spasm. I could feel his body slowly relaxing under me
as I drifted down from the erotic euphoric heights his
love had lifted me too. Lying on top of him he
whispered in my ear. "Do you still love me Lukie?"

"As long as I can breathe Mattie."

A crash of breaking glass woke me, my body covered in
sperm from the wet dream. A branch had been blown
against the window breaking the glass. I heard Gramps
calling up the stairs, "You alright Luke, I heard
glass breaking."

"I'm okay Gramps. A branch was blown up against the
window and broke it. The rain has stopped so nothing
is getting wet."

"As long as you're okay. We can have the window fixed
later. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Gramps, see you in the morning."

I thought I smelled a distinct musky sandalwood scent
in the room but it was wishful thinking. I went into
the bathroom and wet a washcloth with warm water,
cleaning my chest and stomach off. The dream had been
so real; it was as if Mattie was with me and I thought
I heard a faint "I am Lukie."

Shaking my head, I stuffed a spare pillow in the
broken glass pane and went back to bed hugging Matt's
pillow closer.

		     * * * * * * * * *

The loud unruffled engine of a tractor woke me and I
glanced at the digital clock beside my bed, it was
almost 7:30AM. I was surprised that Gramps had not
called me earlier; he was always up at 5:30 and
sometimes earlier. Jumping out of bed, my morning hard
on slapped upwards against my stomach and I felt a
slight stickiness in my groin that I missed cleaning
myself earlier. Rushing into the bathroom for a shower
that faint musky sandalwood scent seemed to follow me
and I opened the medicine cabinet where Matt had kept
the cologne. It was sitting on the shelf but the cap
was off, that's why I smelled the scent in the air.
Recapping the bottle and closing the cabinet I turned
the shower on setting the temperature just a little
warmer then I normally liked it.

The hot water felt good flowing over my aching
muscles. I had been out in the wet cold a little
longer then I realized and it felt like I might be
catching a cold. I stood under the water enjoying its
warmth and the thoughts of the many times that Matt
and I had stood under warm water holding and loving
each other drifted through my mind. My cock started
swelling, lengthening and a low moan escaped my lips
as I pulled down on it and then skinned the foreskin
back letting the hot water wash over the glans. The
urge swept over me and I was just about to succumb
when I heard Gramps voice.

"Luke, breakfast is ready when you're finished."

"Ok Gramps." I called out my cock suddenly losing its
rigidity. "I'm almost finished showering. I'll be down
in a minute." I finished washing myself and dried off
quickly. Dressed in jeans with a Cincinnati Bengal's
sweatshirt and heavy work shoes I went downstairs.

Gramps was sitting at the table sipping his coffee
when I walked in. "Morning Gramps, you let me sleep in
a little this morning."

"I thought an extra hour wouldn't hurt you none. That
rain yesterday was cold and you were soaked when you
got back."

"Thanks a lot, I needed it. Felt like I might be
coming down with something so I took an extra hot
shower after I got up. Who was driving the tractor? It
sounded like it came right under my window."

"Josh, Lester's nephew was on it. Lester and I are
going to try and breed Golden Angle and he thought
Josh might be able to give us a hand with her and the
stallion."

"I met Josh yesterday at the cemetery, he was helping
Billy with Matt's stone. Didn't talk with him much be
he seemed like a nice kid."

"Kid!!!  He is 19 yrs old and built like a bull. He
was all state wrestler 2 years running when he was in
high school and placed 2nd in some bodybuilding contest
or show they had down in Louisville. Lester is really
proud of Josh."

"I didn't know Lester had a brother until I met Josh
yesterday Gramps. He lives over in Dry Ridge and said
his dad and Lester don't see much of each other."

"There is a little bad blood there from way back. He
sees more of Josh then he does the other two younguns,
they're older and have families of their own. He has
been trying to find work but it is scarce down this
way. Lester said his brother could help him get a job
with the county but he won't for some reason that he
won't tell. Josh does what odd jobs he can so he can
help his mother out some. I might put him on here on
the farm since... Well I haven't decided yet but we
could use another hand, I ain't getting any younger."

"You meant to say since Matt died Gramps. I know he
did more then I did, he was a natural. Matt always
dove in headfirst and if he had graduated and gotten
his degree in Agriculture and Animal Husbandry he
would have been a lot of help on the farm.

"I'm not slighting you any Luke, not at all. Matt was
meant to be a breeder and you were his backup even
though you're older. Matt would jump before he looked
but you held him in check on a lot of things, thinking
about it and he would listen. That boy depended on you
Luke, everyone knew that except maybe you."

Listening as Gramps talked about Matt, I could almost
feel him in the room. Tears moistened my eyes and I
whispered. "We will miss him Gramp's but he will
always be here with us. I know that."

"Your right boy, he will. Finish your breakfast and
while we are out in the barn how about you go over
that literature you have on the computer system and
hardware you will need to get this old farm in the 20th
century? Make up a list and we will go into Louisville
this weekend and get it, make a weekend out of it.
What do you say, dinner maybe a movie or something?"

"I can do that later Gramps, I'd like to give you a
hand with the breeding. Which stallion are you using,
Runner?"

"No, not Runner. I think I want to see what the new
one will do, the one I brought in from Tennessee. His
name is Patriot. His registry is one of the best I
have seen. That's the kind of stuff we need in a
computer so the papers don't get lost."

"You won't mind if I come will you?"

"Of course not, you can meet Josh and standby outside
the pen with him while Lester and I do the work. I
don't know how Patriot will re-act yet and no sense
taking chances. He might be a little skittish if to
many people are around."
While Gramps and I were cleaning up the breakfast
dishes, Lester knocked and come on in with Josh behind
him. I looked at him and he eyes met mine and never
wavered. They were almost a cobalt blue, deep with
glinting highlights and he held you with them. His
bright almost platinum white blond hair only
intensified the depths of his eyes and the deep red of
his full lips. He smiled faintly, those haunting blue
eyes holding me as he ran the pink tip of his tongue
over them.

"Good morning Lester, Josh. Have some coffee? Luke and
I are just about finished."

"Morning Walter, Luke. Coffee sounds good. Luke you
met Josh yesterday for a bit didn't you, up at the
cemetery?"

"Yes I did Lester, briefly. How are you Josh?"

"A lot better now that I'm dry, it was cold up there
yesterday. I thought you were going to come down with
something standing there in the rain watching Billy
and me."

"I did ache a little this morning but I think I'll be
okay. Gramps tells me we're going to help him and
Lester this morning. Have you ever helped breed a mare
before?"

"Nope but I want to learn what you have to do."

Lester and Gramps chuckled a little under their breath
when Josh said that. He looked at them and then at me
his eyes flashing just a little angrily. "Well, it
must be different then what people do Uncle Lester."

"No denying that Josh and there are things you have to
watch out for. Walter and I will explain it best we
can. You and Josh will be outside the pen though, a
stallion can be pretty excited when a mare is in
heat."

I could see that Josh was still just a little piqued
and I grinned at him as we put our jackets on. He
smiled and his eyes had softened some as he looked
into mine. Holding back just a little as we started to
head for the barn I edged closer to Josh and
whispered. "He meant that horses fuck different then
people and they get horny when they know they are
going to get some."

"I knew that Luke, I just don't like being treated
like I'm dumb."

"Somehow I don't think you are that Josh, not by a
long shot. Let's catch up."

Gramps and Lester had gotten ahead of us a little way
and we trotted too catch up. When we entered the
smaller entrance door in the big one, the barn felt
strangely warm, at least warmer then outside. Looking
around I saw why, there was hot propane stove almost
like a wooden cook stove. It was sitting in the center
of an adjacent pen with a very large pot and several
buckets of water sitting in readiness. Josh and I
stood on the second rail from the bottom giving us a
good view of the breeding corral with the large halter
hanging from one of the thick beams of the barn. A
block and tackle was attached onto one of the supports
and it looked like one of those ancient torture
devices that were used back in medieval times. Josh
and I both looked at each other quizzically leaning
over the top railing. Gramps placed the big pot on the
stove and poured it about half full of water turning
the heat up and bringing it to a boil.

We could hear the mare nickering off in a small
holding pen while Patriot was in two holding pens away
from her. He was whinnying and stamping his feet his
eyes wide, the chain on his halter jangling as he
tossed his head. From where we were on the railing, we
could see he had almost a foot of his cock hanging out
and it was all red and slick looking. I felt a
tingling in my crotch and a warm feeling in my groin.
I was pretty sure if I felt that way Josh would be
too. Right then I wished I had worn overalls instead
of jeans like Josh was wearing. I tried to reach down
and re-position my cock without anyone seeing it
starting to get hard. You could almost smell the sex
in the warm air of the barn and the excitement of the
two horses.

Josh looked at me squirming a little and scooted
closer until we were touching each other. "Boy Luke,
this is the first time I've seen horses having sex.
Exciting isn't it?" He said softly.

"Matt and I watched once when they bred Runner. I
haven't seen Patriot; he is a new horse that Gramps
just got. He is bigger then Runner, look over there."

Patriot was moving back and forth and his cock was
running in and out dripping a horse's pre-cum like
from a faucet.

"Whoa man, how would you like having one that big?
Think of it."

"I can't begin to think of that Josh. What in hell
would a man do with one that big? I've got all I need
thank you very much."

"I bet you do Luke but a lot of guys don't."

"How would you know that Josh?"

"Oh you know, you see things when you're in school and
hear some guys talk about how they wish they had more.
Stuff like that."

All the time we were talking about how big a horse was
and men's cock sizes, Josh's eyes were glittering as
he looked at me. My thick 7" cock was hard as steel
and lay up over my hard ribbed stomach and I turned
facing him the front of my to tight jeans pushed out
at the zipper opening by its thickness the head just
reaching my belt buckle. His eyes dropped down and he
made an almost audible sound as he sucked his breath
in. Looking back up at me he leaned in closer. "I
guess you do have all you need don't you?"

Just as I was going to reply, Gramps called out,
"Luke, you and Josh get me a couple of those blankets
and a pegging string from in the tack room will you?

The tack room was at the opposite end of the barn and
Josh and I ran to it for the items Gramps needed. Just
as we got there we were called too again. "Bring two
pairs of them rubber gloves while your there. We
forgot them and we darn sure will need them from what
Lester and I see here with Patriot."

We got the stuff and ran back to the corral where
Lester was leading Golden Angel in and positioning her
over the wide leather belly strap. Holding her in
place, Gramps pulled on the cable that was attached to
the block and tackle and the leather strap fit right
under her belly. He pulled it tight leaving just the
tips of her hooves on the ground while Lester placed a
blindfold over her head. She was nickering and water
or some kind of fluid was pouring from her vagina and
it was hanging open to where you could almost see
inside. We both heard Gramps tell Lester that she was
at prime and Patriot shouldn't have any trouble
impregnating her.

"She is really in heat Josh. That stuff coming out of
her is like a mans pre-cum when he gets real horny."

"Like I am now, whew. I never felt like this before
even when I have jerked off."

"Shhhh Josh not so loud. You don't see Gramps and
Lester getting all excited do you?"

"They are a lot older then you and me Luke. I bet they
did it together when they were younger." He whispered
almost to low for me to hear.

"You mean jerked off together when they were younger?
I guess the might have. Gramps taught Matt and I a lot
about sex when we were younger. Matt and I used to
have sex up in the hay loft." I had said that before I
realized it but all Josh did was look at me his eyes
gleaming.

"Maybe we can go up in the hayloft sometime Luke?"

"Maybe, lets watch. We are supposed to be leaning
something about horse breeding remember?"

"Yeah, I'm learning Lukie."

"What did you call me Josh? Where did you hear that?"

"I called you Lukie, just seemed natural. I won't do
it again if it upsets you."

"No that's alright. No one ever called me that except
Matt, not even Gramps. It was a pet name he had for
me. I called him Mattie but it was just between the
two of us. It surprised me when you said it. No one
has ever called me Lukie except Matt."

We turned our heads quickly as Gramps said "you boys
watching this or having a meeting over there?"

"Sorry Gramps I was explaining what the apparatus was
that Lester placed Golden Angel over and you pulled up
tight. He didn't know."

"Good, that holds her in place when Patriot mounts
her."

Gramps walked over to the pen where Patriot was and
unsnapping his halter chain walked him almost sideways
into the corral where the mare waited nickering and
snorting. Both he and Lester had the rubber gloves on
and you could see why they would need them. Patriot's
cock was almost dragging on the ground and Lester
reached down holding it up while Gramps led him up to
the rear of the mare and let his smell her vagina.
Suddenly with a loud snort he lifted up on his hind
legs and almost jumped on the mares back his eyes all-
wild, slobber running from his mouth. Gramps held his
head as Lester guided his angry red wet cock up and
into Golden Angel's waiting vagina. With an almost ear
splitting scream she hunched back as he hunched
forward and his cock disappeared inside her. His
forelegs gripped her tight just behind her withers and
it looked like he was pulling her back each time he
drove his haunches forward.

Josh and I had dropped down from the top rail and were
looking through the space between the rails. Patriot
was driving his cock what looked like two or three
feet inside the mare and she was grunting as she took
it. I sucked in my gut and reached down inside my
jeans grabbing my cock gripping it tight and glancing
over at Josh he had his hand inside of his overalls
jerking his cock as we watched. He looked at me and
said, "man I gotta get off watching this" and kept on
pulling his cock inside his overalls.

I was hot and horny and I felt the pre-cum oozing from
the head of my cock but didn't have the freedom of
movement he had. "Wait until later Josh and we will go
up into the hayloft. I want to jerk off with you,
please." I whispered pleading.

"If I don't drop a load before then. Whew, I'm hot as
a firecracker watching this. Did you hear her scream
when he drove that monster inside of her? My cock
jumped like crazy."

We both jumped back up on the railing pressing our
hard cocks against the railing hoping it would help us
out a little and we could finish watching the two
horses. It did not take very long and suddenly with a
loud guttural grunt Patriot seemed to fall back on his
haunches almost sitting down his slick red cock
pulling out as he did. Standing up just as suddenly he
started licking her vagina and she seemed to like it
and whinnied trying to look back but she couldn't see
him with the blindfold that Lester had put on her.

As Patriot's cock shrank back up inside of him Gramps
led him off and you could see he was a little wobbly.
Opening a side door he removed his halter and let him
loose in a side pasture.

Lester had lowered Golden Angel until she was standing
on her legs again but he didn't remove the strap,
waiting for Gramps.

"Josh come over here will you. Luke you give Lester a
hand with the mare."

I held the rope the led up to the block and tackle
while Josh helped Gramps carry the large pot of hot
water from the other pen. He sent Josh back for
another bucket of cold water and mixed it in with the
hot water.  While I held the robe tight, Gramps and
Lester took sponges from the tub and washed her vagina
clean and cleaned all of the stuff off of her hind
legs. After she was clean, Gramps told me to lower her
on down until the strap was just hanging under her.
Josh unhooked the hook of the block and tackle from
the big "D" ring and let the strap drop to the floor
of the corral. Golden Angel stood there for a few
minutes a low whinny coming from deep inside of her.
Lester had not removed the blindfold and was holding
her head tight.

We followed as they led her into a double stall where
they had spread the blankets we had gotten from the
tack room. Pulling down on her halter, she slowly
lowered herself down on the blankets. Then Lester
removed the blindfold while Gramps held her halter.
After she licked herself a few times, he hooked the
halter chain into a ring that had been installed low
in the stall. I asked Gramps what that was for.

"That is so she won't thrash around while she settles
down. With the ring low like that she can't get up and
maybe hurt herself. When folks have sex there is what
is called an afterglow when their bodies sort of cool
down. Patriot will run it off but Golden Angel can't
run just yet. She will lie there and slowly cool off.
When a mare goes in heat it is a three-day period and
try as we do, it is not always accurate when we mate
them with a stallion. Lester and I will stay here with
her until we know she is okay, might be a couple of
hours or so. When her vagina starts shrinking that is
when she is coming out of heat."

"Boy Uncle Walter, there is a lot more to breeding
horses then I thought."
"Most people don't realize that Josh. It is a
fascinating process not all that unsimilar to what men
and women do. Warm-blooded animals always mate by
joining. With animals it is procreation and a natural
process. With humans the same except we tend to
prolong the process to our mutual satisfaction
enjoying the contact between us."

"You almost make it sound like poetry Gramps. I never
heard you talk about it before like that."

"It is poetry Luke, the poetry of life. We are going
to be here a spell, how about you and Josh bring us a
couple of thermos jugs of black coffee. No need for
you to stay here now though."

"I could use a shower after that, I got all sweaty.
How about you Josh, you need one?"

"I could but I don't have any other clothes with me."

"You can use something of Matt's, you're almost his
size in the body. Might need to fold the pants legs up
a little. Come on, let's get that coffee."

We ran out of the barn and up to the house. Gramps was
rubbing the mare down as we left while Lester held her
head.

"Looks like them two are going to get along Walter. I
was hoping they would."

"Me too Les. Luke needs someone to help him get Matt
off his mind. I don't need to tell you I was worried
about him. Did you talk with Josh about staying here
for a while? If he wants to we can clean out the other
bedroom next to Luke's and he can use that or he can
stay with you if you think that might be better."

"I asked him and he jumped at the chance just to get
away from his daddy. He wasn't that keen on leaving
his mother but I told him I'd keep a check on her and
see was treated right. He's better off staying here
with you and Luke Walter. His daddy won't bother you
and him none if he knows he is here with you but he
might if he stayed with me."

"I'm sorry as hell Bill turned out so mean Les,
drinking and all like he does. Josh can stay here as
long as he wants, it will be almost like Matt was
still here."

"It will all come back home to roost someday Walter.
Josh is a good boy and needs someone his age around.
They both will be good for each other. I can't thank
you enough."

"How long we known each other and been friends Les?
You know how I feel about you."

I heard them talking as Josh and I brought the
thermos jugs that Gramps had asked for. All I heard as
I stepped through the door was "I feel the same way
Walter."

"Here's the coffee Gramps and we brought some of the
sweet rolls left from breakfast. Anything else we can
do?"

"Not now, you boys go on up to the house and we'll be
along later. Get yourselves something to eat too."

"You want us to check back a little later in case you
need something?"

"No, that is okay. Go ahead now, we will be okay."

We returned to the house and hanging our jackets on
hooks at the bottom of the stairs I took Josh up to my
bedroom.

"Wow, this is your bedroom? There are two beds in
here, who slept in the other one? I had a small place
almost like a closet, nothing like this."

"One of the beds was Matt's, we both used the room.
The bathroom is through this door and towels are on
the rack so just pick one of them after you shower.
You want to go first? I'll pick some things out for
you from Matt's dresser and closet while you shower."

Josh stood in the middle of the room between the two
beds looking around and then he sat on the floor.

"Josh, there are chairs for you to sit on, you don't
need to use the floor."

"Luke, I'm okay here but I gotta be honest with you. I
ain't never had any place to live like this. I know
you might not believe that but we didn't have indoor
plumbing and the only time I ever took a shower was
when I was in high school. Uncle Lester asked me last
night if I thought I might like a job here on your
grandfather's farm with him and you and I told him I
sure would."

"Well that's great Josh. I'd really enjoy having
someone my age or at least close, how old are you? I'm
24."

"19, I'll be 20 next month March 18th."

"Matt would have been 23 on the 28th. He usually kidded
me about catching up one year on me but then in June
I'd jump ahead of him again by 2.  It was a game with
us but really didn't mean anything. Are you going to
get showered so I can? We can talk about all this
other stuff later."

Josh got off the floor and started undressing putting
his clothes on the chair next to Matt's bed. My back
was to him at first but when I turned around with a
couple of shirts I thought he might look good in he
was removing his overalls. He had taken his heavy
shoes and socks off and had let the overalls drop, he
wasn't wearing briefs or boxers. He straightened up
and saw me looking at him holding the shirts but he
didn't try and hide himself, he just unbuttoned his
flannel shirt slowly as I watched.

Dropping the shirt on top of his overalls he stood
naked his chest rising and falling in a slow easy
rhythm his blue eyes gleaming. I had not seen anyone
as beautiful and magnificently built outside of Matt.
Josh had a thick chest with defined breast muscles and
dark nipples jutting from each side of his chest. His
torso was hard and lean; his waist was small and hard
muscled with a golden light trail of hair leading down
from his navel between his hard ripped stomach muscles
into a thick golden bush. The thick base of his uncut
cock was surrounded by thick soft golden pubic hair
and it hung down almost 4" and rested over two egg-
sized balls. He had smoothly muscled thighs were
covered with a golden layer of fine hair that
thickened over his calf muscles. Thick smooth but not
bulging biceps with hard forearms again lightly
covered with fine golden hair completed one of the
most magnificent bodies I had seen.

Sucking in my breath I stood transfixed by his
gorgeous magnificently muscled body. Exhaling slowly I
looked into his eyes. "Josh not even Matt had a body
as beautiful as yours. God but your gorgeous."

"Thanks but I don't think you're built all that bad
Luke. You sure fill out those jeans pretty good." He
said as he moved towards me. I could feel waves of
heat surging over me as my cock started hardening. His
eyes held he and me ran the tip of his tongue over his
lips as he unbuckled my belt unsnapping my jeans.
Pulling the zipper down he laid the flaps back and
pulled my sweatshirt out lifting it over my head. I
didn't object letting him do what he wanted. The
coolness of the room made me shiver just as he dropped
the shirt on the floor and then pushed my jeans down
over the huge bulge my restricted cock made within the
confines of my briefs and they dropped to the floor. I
glanced down at the huge thick length of Josh's cock
reaching its partially foreskin covered head towards
my crotch, he had not taken his eyes from mine all the
time he was undressing me. Placing his fingers under
the elastic band of my briefs on each hip he slowly
pushed downwards and I felt my hard cock spring free
dropping down touching his, it felt like a red-hot
poker and I gasped slightly my body automatically
responding at the feeling.

"Are you alright with this Luke?"

Moving closer, feeling his cock and mind pressing
against each others groins our chest barely touching I
inhaled deeply. "Don't stop Josh, do what you want." I
said slipping my arms around his narrow waist pulling
him tighter his lips and mine opening for each other
as we kissed tongues twisting, exploring the depths of
our mouths.

I could feel Josh's muscles relaxing and he body
seemed to melt against mine. The feel of his hard
muscles rippling under exploring fingers his pelvis
pressing tighter against mine our cocks crushed beside
each other. He was just a little longer then me but we
both had almost the same thickness. I felt a shudder
run through him as I held him.

"Are you alright Josh?"

His head rested just above my breast and he was
breathing slowly but I could feel his hear racing as I
asked him again if he was all right and then I felt
wetness on my skin, he was crying.

Turning him towards the bed I whispered softly, "sit
down on the bed Josh" and I held him as we both sat
side by side. He wasn't heaving great body wracking
sobs just soft gentle whimpers his tears falling from
his cheeks into the thick hair covering my groin.

"This is the first time you have done something like
this isn't it Josh? It must have taken every ounce of
your courage."

"I was scared to death Luke but when I saw you looking
at me as I took my clothes off something came over me,
I wanted to show you everything, all of me.  I wanted
to see you, hold you and make love to you but I don't
know how or what to do."

"You have never been with a man before have you Josh?
What made you think I might be gay? Are you sure you
are?"

He leaned back lifting his tear stained face too mine.
It was as if nothing would dim the brilliance of his
deep dark blue eyes and he looked into mine his hand
resting on my thigh, my arm around his waist.

"There have been lots of times I wanted to be with
someone Luke but I was too scared and afraid of being
called a faggot if kids in school found out I liked
being around boys. I would get a hard-on in my pants
so much when some cute or good-looking boy was in my
class that I had to start wearing baggy pants just so
it wouldn't show. Lots of kids made fun of me for
that. I would get deep craving feelings deep inside of
me and even jerking off did not make them go away
completely, the feelings always came back. I've had
those feelings ever since we met yesterday and I
wanted you. I was scared and all nervous but from the
way you were looking at me something inside said you
felt the same way I was feeling."

I couldn't help but chuckle a little before saying,
"they must have been pretty baggy pants to hide all of
that" motioning down at his half hard cock.

"You should talk, look at you."

We both laughed a little and it felt like the air was
soft and warm around us. I looked around the bedroom
and had the feeling that Mattie was with us and I
smiled.

"My gramps always said that we should trust our
feelings Josh and it looks like he was right. We both
wanted the same thing didn't we?"

Our lips met in another long passionate kiss and Josh
was not an amateur, he was a natural like someone else
I had known. I remembered that first session in the
hayloft and the others that had followed as Matt and I
grew older, all of the things we had learned and
experimented with. Was I getting a second chance? Was
it really just natural that Josh called me Lukie? I
didn't know and I held him tight against me, as the
faint scent of musky sandalwood seemed to drift over
us. I whispered softly "As long as I can breath
Mattie."

"What was that Luke, did you say something."

"Yeah, I said are you ready for that shower?"

"If you are. Do you want to shower with me?"

"I wouldn't have it any other way and then we have
lots to talk about." I said as he walked to the
bathroom ahead of me moving with the smooth almost
athletic grace of an athlete who had supreme
confidence in his body.

I stopped just at the doorway for a moment listening
and I thought I heard, "I'll never leave you Lukie."
I looked around the empty room again before going in
and taking that shower with Josh. "I know Mattie, I
know" I whispered softly.

Josh was attempting to adjust the water temperature,
his magnificent muscles rippling under his tawny skin,
his golden hair glistening. I leaned over his back
putting my hand over his on the water knob, "let me
help you with that Josh."
