Chapter #46

I stood on the rail of the fence watching my Uncle
Lee's truck until it was out of sight. It felt like a
stone had settled in my gut, a feeling of being alone.
We hadn't been apart for what seemed ages and I felt
suddenly afraid without him.

A feeling of sadness seemed to settle over me as I
fought back the tears that welled up in my eyes and I
rested my head on the top rail of the fence. I stood
there with my head on the rail, not thinking of the
time just letting the tears flow.

William and Calvin were sitting on the porch watching
Mark in the distance standing with his head resting on
the fence rail.

"Calvin, I think Mark might need you if you want to go
to him.

"Do you really think so Uncle Bill?"

"I think he especially needs you. Right now he is
probably feeling very alone and maybe just a little
afraid."

"I wouldn't want him to think I was pushing myself on
him, taking advantage of him. I love him but you know
how he feels about Lee."

"I do and I also know how you feel about Mark. Right
now Calvin, he needs a friend to help him get over the
sense of loss he probably is feeling. Go to him, your
heart will tell you what to do."

Marks tears slowly subside but he doesn't move and
does not hear Calvin walking up too him. His mind and
his heart are in the truck that has left him.

Calvin walks down the fence line slowly and reaching
Mark, he rests his hand on his shoulder.

"Mark, you alright?"

Lifting his head and seeing Calvin, Mark reaches out
for him, saying quietly "Calvin, I'm sorry" as they
melt into each others arms holding tight.

Charles had walked out on the porch with William as
Calvin left to join Mark. They both watched in silence
seeing the two of them embracing.

William looked up at Charles standing beside him.

"They will be alright William, they both love each
other. Calvin will be a comfort too Mark and time will
bring them back together."

"Yes they do Charles but Calvin is going to need Mark
as much as he needs Calvin."

"You are going to tell Calvin about his mother?"

"Yes, I am. I don't see any reason to delay it as much
as I hate the thought of it."

"Would you like for me to tell him William? I would be
happy too if you would like."

Calvin and Mark had sat down together beside the fence
and William watched for a few minutes, his heart
aching for the both of them.

"No Charles, I appreciate the offer. Mrs. Masters
asked that I break it to Calvin."

"I understand." Charles said as he turned and walked
back into the house.

Calvin and I sat down in the grass tears still flowing
we held onto each other.

"Calvin, I didn't know loving someone could hurt so
much.

"It does Mark, when you truly love them. William and I
talked about it when you and Lee left us. It felt like
my heart was going too break as I watched you leave
with your uncle. I was afraid I'd never see you
again."

"Gee Calvin, I didn't know you felt like that. I
missed you afterwards and I had feelings like I loved
you but I wasn't really sure."

"How could you be sure? Lee was and still is your
entire world, he always will be. You and he have a
bond that no one will ever replace. William told me
about it and I can understand it. I only hope I will
ever find someone that will love me the way you love
your uncle."

Looking at Calvin and listening to him, a warm feeling
swept over me. My heart was beating a little fast as I
pulled him too me our lips meeting in a soft kiss.
Tears no longer flowed as my tongue entered his mouth
and I tasted the sweetness of him, my cock starting to
swell. I dropped my hand into his crotch and felt him
responding with me to the passion of our kiss.

"I will love you Calvin, I want to, I need you." I
looked deep in his eyes as we sank down on the grass
my hand gripping his hardness through his shorts.

"Mark, I have loved you from the moment we were
together in the Jacuzzi. I loved you when we first
made love and I loved you when your uncle was with us
and we made love. I have loved everything about you
but I cannot replace your uncle. I want you to love me
for me the way I love you for you. I can't replace him
for you. Love him Mark but I need for you to love me,
Calvin."

It seemed like a long time that we held each other my
head on Calvin's chest his arms around me. I felt his
passion and mine subside as I listened with the soft
breeze blowing over us the odor of the sweet grass
mingling with the clean smell of his body. I was
remembering that Uncle Lee had told me he wouldn't
hold me but that I had to grow, to learn. He had
taught me what he could but I had to learn and
experience the feelings in myself. I had felt he was
trying to push me away but laying with Calvin, I knew
what he was telling me and I didn't feel confused.

"Calvin, I do love you. Give me a little time and let
me show you how much, please."

"Lets go up to the house Mark, you haven't hardly said
anything to William and Charles. The weekend is ours
to be together."

We walked to the house holding hands and I could feel
a current flowing between us in his grip, the sudden
feeling of being alone melting away as we walked. I
was feeling alive and not afraid as we walked.
Everything that William and my uncle had been trying
to tell me became very clear. I could love Calvin
without being unfaithful to the love I felt for Uncle
Lee. He could see William sitting on the porch waiting
for them and he could feel a love for him that at
first confused him but now he knew what that feeling
was. Looking at Calvin, he put his arm around his
shoulders pulling him a little closer.

William watched them as they walked holding hands and
then Mark embracing him closer as they walked. His
mind raced back to the time he had first walked with
Lee along the same fence and held him close. He was
older then Lee but an attachment had grown between
them almost from the minute his brother John had
brought him too him. They had walked together many
times talking. Lee had confided in him telling about
all of the feelings he was having and didn't really
understand. They had enjoyed each other and Lee had
cried himself to sleep many times on his chest. It
took time but Lee slowly realized his sexuality and
that he needed the physical love that he would find
only in a man, not a woman. The two beautiful boys
walking towards him were realizing the same feelings
and learning what those feelings meant. William smiled
as they approached.

"Well now, you two look like a couple of cats that ate
the proverbial canary. Are you hungry? Charles has
prepared a delicious dinner, one of his special
dishes."

"Yes sir. I'm starved." They both had spoken together
as if one person was talking and laughed.

Charles was standing in the doorway smiling at the
sight of them together and laughing. William saw him
and knew that Charles did not smile often but he also
knew how he felt about these two boys. He also saw
Charles raise his eyebrows looking at him. He shook
his head negatively knowing the question.

Dinner was smoked salmon with lightly scalloped
potato's and a small green salad. I light white wine
was served with dinner and afterwards a mixed fruit
dish.

"Charles, you have outdone yourself. Don't you agree
boys?"

Calvin and Mark agreed as they ate the mixed fruit.

"If you would like William, I'll serve coffee on the
porch. Would you two like coffee or maybe iced tea?"

They both chose the iced tea as they excused
themselves from the table. "We would like to go
upstairs for a minute Uncle Bill before we go out on
the porch."

"I'll see you there." William said as the boys ran up
he stairs.

"This way Mark, our rooms down here."

"I need the bathroom Calvin. Where is it at?"

"We have a private bath, come on."

Calvin raced down the long hallway and opened a door
at the end. I followed him in and he grabbed me, both
of us falling back against the door his lips on mine
as he pressed his body tightly against me. As much as
I needed to piss, I could feel our hard cocks pressed
tightly between us. We devoured each other until my
bladder screamed to be emptied.

"Calvin, please. I have to take a piss bad or I'm
going to have an accident and we both of us."

Calvin laughed pressing his groin tighter into mine.

"We can't have that now can we? It's going to be fun
watching you piss with a hard-on, come on."

"You devil, you got me hard on purpose. Wait until I
get you later."

"I've been waiting ever since you got here and last
night sleeping alone in that big bed out there."

I dropped my shorts trying to piss and Calvin kept
squeezing my ass until I knocked his hand away.

"Damn Calvin. I won't ever piss if you don't stop."

"Okay, be a spoil sport. Go ahead, I'll wait outside."

After I finished pissing and Calvin kissed me again,
we went downstairs. I doubted my cock would go down
anytime soon though. We both were playing with each
other's ass until we reached the porch.

William was sitting on the porch sipping his coffee as
we got there. We took our iced tea and sat down
together on the wicker couch. The evening was mild and
the setting sun cast a soft glow over the trees and
bushes, the white fence railings gleaming in the
fading light.

We sat quietly for a few minutes enjoying the
closeness of each other and the evening. Calvin was
leaning back against the upright cushions holding his
glass between his legs I leaned over and kissed him on
the cheek and whispered "I love you." He looked at me
and his eyes told me how he felt without words. It
felt good being with him.

"What do you boys have planned for tomorrow? I have a
meeting with a developer for somewhere around 10
o'clock in the morning. Speaking of that Mark, we
might not be able to leave until Monday sometime. Do
you think your parents would mind if you didn't get
home before Tuesday or even Wednesday?"

"No sir, I don't think they would mind. School doesn't
start until the day after Labor Day and that's still a
week off. I'm already registered so there shouldn't be
any problem."

"I wouldn't mind Uncle Bill."

"Oh, I didn't think you would Calvin. Talk about being
on pins and needles. I was beginning to think you had
forgotten how to sit down."

William chuckled to himself as I leaned over to
Calvin.

"You couldn't wait for me could you?

"Oh shut up. Uncle Bill is just making fun of me but I
have missed you. Would you like to go horseback riding
tomorrow? Uncle Bill has some riding horses we can
ride around the farm on."

"Sounds like fun to me. I have rode some but not for a
long time. My mother's brother has a farm in Kentucky
were I rode a little with my dad."

"You mean your Uncle Howard Mark? I haven't seen him
in years."

"Yes sir Uncle Bill. He isn't doing that well though
and Mom worries about him a lot. I think he might have
lung cancer. He smokes an awful lot. Mom has tried to
get him to stop be he keeps on.

"Old habits like smoking are hard to give up Mark. I
hope you two never start it."

"When I was in high school some of the guy's tried to
get me to but it gagged me. I don't understand what
they see in it, it's nasty."

"Yeah, Calvin. They tried to get me to do it. Called
me a sissy and made fun but I couldn't stand it."

"It's a good thing. Calvin I need to speak with you.
How about you and Mark pull a couple of those chairs
over here beside me? Charles would you bring me
another coffee and maybe a small bottle of brandy with
glasses?"

Charles appeared almost like a ghost taking Williams
empty cup and our glasses. I always wondered how he
seemed to know when he was needed. Uncle Bill grinned
at me. "He is usually close by Mark, never far off."

We sat close too William waiting for Charles to bring
the added refreshments. I had a bad feeling and even
though I was only 17, I could see something was on his
mind. I guess it was from the way he was looking at
Calvin. The light was fading fast but it looked like
he had tears in his eyes. The kind of tears you try
not to have. Charles set the tray on the small table
next to William and disappeared but I had a feeling
his was not gone and I was feeling a little nervous as
William poured three small glasses of brandy.

I reached for Calvin's hand and squeezed it as Uncle
Bill took a very deep breath and sighed.

"Calvin, there is only one way to do this as much as I
hate it. You know we love you very much and your
mother loves you.........."

Those words hit me like a ton of bricks. I had heard
almost the same words when my grandfather had died and
I looked at Calvin holding his hand tight.

"Your mother won't be with you much longer Calvin, she
is dying and asked me to tell you."

In the almost deafening silence, I thought I heard a
deep sigh in the darkness of the doorway. Calvin sat
stock still not moving a muscle his hand still in
mine. He stared at William for what seemed ages and
then suddenly he screamed.

'NO, NO she isn't or she would have told me. She would
have told me Uncle Bill, she would have told me."

Calvin broke down crying and I held him tight against
me. His body was heaving great sobs as he moaned.

"She can't be dying, she can't be."

I looked at William and he had tears running down his
cheek his hands quivering. I was crying holding Calvin
when he jumped up screaming....

"I got to go home, I want to see Mom." He started to
run and I jumped up to run with him but when he got to
the door he ran into Charles who wrapped his arms
around him. I collapsed back into my chair and watched
as Charles stroked Calvin's head. I could hear him
comforting him.

"It will be alright Calvin, it will be alright. Let it
all go boy, cry it out."

I don't remember how long William and I sat there
while Charles held Calvin in his strong arms soothing
him. I reached without asking for one of the glasses
of brandy and downed it in one gulp fire spreading
through me. William sat across from me, his hands
clasped in his lap. His eyes empty except for the
grief he was feeling. The brandy was having its effect
and I felt the warmth as my strength was returning.

Calvin's sobs had stopped but he leaned heavily
against Charles. I wanted to hold him but as I started
to get up, Charles scooped him up in his arms holding
him close.

"I'll take him to his room." That was all he said as
he turned and left carrying Calvin as if he was a
feather. I sat back down feeling a little empty. I
wanted to go to Calvin but I just sat there looking at
William and the empty doorway. Thoughts from earlier
in the day came flooding back over me. I knew how
Calvin was feeling. I felt like I had lost Uncle Lee
and he had just been told he was losing someone he
loved. For a brief moment, I thought what the hell is
life all about if you have to lose someone and go
through the grief of that loss. I sat there thinking
and then felt Williams hand on my knee.

"Mark, I'm sorry to have brought you into this. I knew
Calvin was going to take it hard and I was hoping with
you here, it would be a little easier."

"How long have you known Uncle Bill?"

"Mrs. Masters told me right after you and Lee left.
She knew she was not strong enough to tell Calvin
herself and asked me if I would for her."

"I'm glad you asked Uncle Lee to bring me Uncle Bill.
I guess you know I love Calvin but I really didn't
know how much until today. Now I can be with him and
help him. I know a little of how he is feeling right
now, I felt that way earlier when Uncle Lee left. I
felt like I was losing him."

"Mark, you are becoming more of a man everyday and I
know Calvin will want you close. He does love you and
right now will need you."

William and I sat there for a few more minutes before
I got up and leaning over kissed him on the cheek.

"Good night Uncle Bill, I love you. Thanks for letting
me be here with you."

I heard William say good night as I went into the
house and up to our room. I didn't see Charles around
but then you didn't unless he wanted you to.

The door too our room was closed when I got there. I
opened it carefully so and peeked in before swinging
it open. I could see Calvin in bed and Charles off to
the side folding his clothing. I tiptoed over to him
whispering....

"How is he Charles?"

"He is resting now Mr. Mark. I gave him a mild
sleeping draught to help him.  He'll be better now
that you are here with him."

"Thanks Charles. I'll take good care of him."

"I know you will. I'll be up in the morning, rest
well."

Calvin seemed to be resting well and the mild sleeping
draught that Charles had given him seemed to be
effective. I undressed, moving quietly so as not to
disturb him. Folding my clothes I heard a muffled..

"Mark is that you?

"Yes it is Calvin, how are you feeling?"

"A little groggy. Are you coming to bed?"

I slipped into the bed beside him and laid an arm over
his waist. For just a moment we lay quietly and then
Calvin snuggled a little closer his head on the pillow
next to mine. He was breathing slowly his chest just
touching mine and I slipped my arm under his neck
holding him just a little closer.

I shifted just a little as Calvin reached over my
chest and snuggled tightly too me. The warmth of his
smooth body, his groin pressed against my thigh would
usually have aroused my desire but I only wanted him
to know that I was there with him and he was not
alone.

Calvin's breathing was soft and even and I could feel
his chest rising and falling with mine, his head on my
bicep with his arm over my chest. He was sleeping
quietly and I could feel my body relaxing as I drifted
off to sleep holding him to me.

The following morning I was awakened by a light
tapping at the door, William entered carrying a tray
with him. Calvin was still next to me pretty much as
he had gone to sleep with his arm over me. William
placed the tray on the night table and leaned over
whispering....

"How is he this morning Mark? Did you and he rest
well?"

"I'm awake Uncle Bill, you don't have to whisper."

"I didn't want to wake you. How are you feeling this
morning? I brought you and Mark some orange juice if
you would care for some."

"I slept soundly Uncle Bill. Mark was the best
medicine you could have given me."

"I didn't do anything, I just laid here."

"You were with me when I needed someone to hold onto
and for that I love you."

"Well, it is good to see you are feeling better and
that makes me feel better. Charles is preparing
breakfast for you. He will bring it up if you like."

"That's alright Uncle Bill. Tell him Mark and I will
be down shortly. He's done enough already. I remember
him carrying me upstairs last night and I don't know
how he did it."

"You should know Charles by now, both of you. Come
down when you are ready."

We waited until William left the room although I'm
sure he knew we both were naked. After he left, Calvin
slid back down beside me laying half on top of me his
lips joining mine in a deep kiss and we both became
aroused but we just looked at each other feeling the
desire flowing over us.

"Are we still going riding later? William told me
about a little glen near a stream in the woods where
we can have a picnic together."

"If you still want to Calvin. Wouldn't you rather be with
your mother?"

"I want to be alone with you for a little while Mark.
I'll be with mother when we get back and being with
you now will help me with that. Right now we better get
dressed or Charles will be knocking on the door."
