In early September Connie gave me his thesis to read again, this time in the
completed format.  He had dealt with an applied approach to his study,
largely addressing the needs of the community, as related to agriculture,
horticulture, and the natural environment.  I though it a well presented
document and certainly a clever argument.  At the appropriate time he
submitted the thesis and, as he had completed all of the requirements of his
studies, waited for the results to be announced.

The seasons changed again when spring became early summer.  October was hot
one day and cold the next as the rhythm of the seasons tried to equalise,
failing miserably in their change management process.  We had a lot of work
to do on both our properties in preparation for the coming hot, dry summer.
November was sultry and hot, becoming more and more uncomfortably as the
climate surged in a final frenzy before summer would set in.  Violent
electrical storms raged in the afternoons and evenings leaving a trail of
small bush fires throughout the region.  Connie, his arms fully healed and
strengthened from the long hours of toil on the farms, had shifted to the
cottage and was waiting for Wayan to complete his degree so he could move in
with him.

One very hot evening all four of us drove to the university to attend a
small function for the announcement of the results of Connie's faculty.  The
faculty administration had put on drinks and snacks in a tree-lined
courtyard where trestle tables had been set up.  Connie introduced me to his
professors and lecturers while Chris and Nick chatted to Wayan on one side
of the courtyard, drinks and cigarettes in hand as they relaxed.  Eventually
the Dean of the faculty stood to make the waited-for announcements.  Connie
nervously stood by me, his hand gripping mine in his anxiety.  Almost all
the students of his class had been called and I was beginning to think the
worst when, unexpectedly, the Dean spoke again.  "We have one result that
has not been announced as yet.  This result is extraordinary in the depth of
analysis, the breadth of topic and the precision of conclusion.  So detailed
and challenging is this work that we are going to request the author to
publish it for use as a major text in the Faculty of Natural and
Agricultural Sciences.  I am very please to announce the highest ranking
ever awarded at this University for an agricultural study, and that award is
made as an honours degree with distinction to Constantine Kouros-MacMannis."

Applause from the group and cheers from the boys could not drown out the
ringing in my ears as my mind played over again the last sentence I had
heard.  The Dean went on with other matters, advising the group that
graduations would be held in the New Year, but I tuned out of the
activities.  I leant close to Connie and whispered in his ear.  "Where did
that name come from?"  I asked him.  "I had our names changed at the
registry office last month.  The three of us decided we wanted this and we
also decided not to tell you, James, because we wanted it to be a special
Christmas present for you.  I forgot that this would change my name at the
university and that any announcements would be made with my new surname.  It
was a surprise to me tonight as well.  Are you upset?"  "Oh, not at all,
Connie.  Quite the opposite!  I am so proud of your achievements, and all
the more that you chose to bear my name."  "If it had not been for you,
James, I doubt I would be receiving this degree.  I am so pleased that I
have obtained it in your name," Connie countered.

I don't recall the drive home from university that night.  I had much to
contemplate and ever so much to be thankful for.  We did, however, make the
trip safely and, although very tired from the long drive, we sat in the
sunroom, now open to the cool breeze of the evening, to enjoy a cup of tea
and cigarette before going to bed.  Connie had said he was sleeping in our
house that night, rather than in his own cottage, and I thought little more
of the matter.  The usual ablutions complete, I made my way to bed.

Expecting Chris and Nick to be there, as had become usual, I was quite
surprised to see Connie sitting on the side of my bed waiting for me.  "I
hope it is alright for your big boy to sleep with you tonight, James?" he
asked as I came in to the room.  "We have never slept together before, and I
would like to do it, especially tonight.  It is not a thank you gesture," he
went on, "but a sincere expression on my part of the love I have for you and
the esteem I hold you in."  Connie was not wearing any clothing and his dark
complexion highlighted the beauty of his features, almost aristocratic in
their finely appointed proportions.  I sat beside him.  "Connie, I have
never expected you to give your love to me in this way.  You know I have
Chris and Nick who keep me company in bed.  I know you have your own
boyfriend and I have tried to never interfere in your relationship with
Wayan except to help you when you asked.  So please do not feel as though
you have to do anything to please me.  I appreciate the kindness behind your
actions, but I will understand if you decide that you do not want to be
here."

Connie did not speak.  Instead, he put his arm around my back and drew me to
him, enfolding me in a firm hug and planting a gentle kiss on my lips.  With
his other hand he turned out the bedside light, then pulled me down into the
bed beside him.  Turning to face me, he deepened the kiss, softly biting at
my lips and thrusting his tongue deeply into my mouth.  I felt the
prominence of his manhood as it stiffly poked into my groin, so familiar to
that of his brothers that I felt he had done this to me before.  "Oh, Dad,"
he cried softly, "You can't know just how much I have missed you."  His
sobbing became audible and he could not go on speaking for a few moments
while he tried to control his emotion.  I realised he was dealing with a
greater issue than giving me his expression of love: somehow he was also
grieving his dead father.  I was happy to accept his love in whatever form I
could provide.  Soon he quietened himself.  "Let me love you this way
tonight, James.  I could not do this before when my arms were broken, and
after they healed we were just too busy to think about it.  So now I want to
have a night where I can show my love for you as I used to do for my father
Nikolas.  You have taken his place in my heart even though I miss him so
much."

I surrendered to his manifestation with an unfathomable wonder in my heart.
At last I was able to take Nikolas's firstborn into my arms and to love him
as I had loved his father before him.  What a remarkable turn of events and
what a joy it was to complete this extraordinary relationship with my
adopted family.  Connie ground his penis into mine, the two meshing together
side by side as they fought the ancient duel.  He continually stroked my
hair and ran his fingers gently around my face, seeming to highlight the
features he saw there, burning them into his memory.  Occasionally he would
kiss me again, always softly, with a feeling that was reminiscent to me of
great respect, quietly moaning "Oh Dad, my Dad!"  Our loins adapted to a
slow tempo with no conscious effort at trying to synchronise, yet achieving
a perfect harmony nonetheless.  Connie had more body hair than his two
brothers; and our coupling provided a different sensation for me as I
adapted to the feel and texture of his skin.

Apart from the time when I had masturbated Connie in the toilet, and then
again in the shower with Chris, I had not had the opportunity to explore a
sexual relationship with this boy.  In fact, I had no need to desire him, as
his brothers were very adept at keeping me totally sated.  He was the one
taught by his father, and I perceived in his motions the same tenderness and
love Nikolas had once demonstrated to me.  My own need began to grow and I
thrust into him with longer strokes, Connie noticing the change and
adjusting to the same rhythm.  Very soon we were both groping at each other,
pulling heads to the other so as to kiss more urgently, thrusting strongly
into the other as we neared our orgasm.

Connie came with a burst of warm fluid onto my stomach.  I felt the warm
rush on my skin the instant before I began squirting him with my own spray.
It seemed to me that Connie had been saving himself for this occasion, maybe
even planning to have this night of release with me for some time.  He had
no shortage of semen and he continued pumping into me long after my own
penis had ceased to flow, his juices squirting out in shuddering torrents
and his body melding into my own as the release washed through his entire
being.  We pushed into each other for some minutes, prolonging the orgasm
far beyond what I thought would be possible, savouring the precious moments
afforded to us as we let our effusions mingle together.  Like his brothers,
Connie did not show any sign of deflating, his penis still strongly rigid
against me while, at the same time, mine was wilting.

I eased Connie on to his back after we had rested a few minutes and I had
regained my breath.  His tool stood at proud stiffness, still in need of
further attention.  My mouth began a journey of it's own, leaving his
flavoursome lips and travelling down his neck and on to his chest.  His
nipples were hard and he pushed up a little as my tongue caressed them
gently.  He did not suffer the same problem I had of over sensitisation in
the nipple region, so I took his nipples, one at a time, into my mouth,
enjoying the pebble-like texture of them as he writhed in quiet ecstasy
beneath me.  "James ... Dad ... James ...oh, that is so wonderful," he
moaned.  I resumed my journey, finding the indentation of his navel and
exploring it with the tip of my tongue, causing him to wriggle again.

Waiting for me just a short distance further on was his beautiful penis,
stretched to its full size and leaking sweet precum from its sheathed head.
There was a pool of fluid on his stomach where our combined ejaculates had
dripped, and surmounting this collection of fluids was a smaller pool of his
precum that had oozed while he waited for me to arrive there.  His foreskin
was not like his brothers, Chris being very generous and Nick being smoothly
tight.  Connie's glans was covered with thick skin, but the top bit, perhaps
an eighth or a tenth of the total, protruded clear of the sheath.  As my
tongue found the open patch, he moaned again, involuntarily thrusting
towards my mouth, squeezing more of his precum out.

As I am want to do, I eased my tongue inside his fleshy sheath, teasing the
nerve cells under the skin and sending ripples of sensation through his hard
glans.  He pushed again, so I let him enter fully into my mouth, my tongue
sliding down and under the thick shaft and creating a friction on the more
sensitive underside.  Without any urging on my part, Connie slid his penis
into my mouth, slowly navigating the cavity until he was fully in me.  I was
not making conscious comparisons, being far too involved in the sensuality
of the moment, but he was not as long as his brothers and, therefore, did
not reach into my throat, as they tended to do.  I had no trouble
accommodating the length of him as he began to push slowly in to me.

Connie was a gentle lover, much less impatient than his siblings and much
more like his father had been.  Slowly, slowly he dove into me, feeling each
sensation, enjoying each movement, giving to me much more than I was
contributing to his pleasure.  The thickness of his penis filled my mouth as
he pushed and pulled towards another release.  When he was very near to his
orgasm I felt the surge, the hardness, the swelling, as the semen began to
make its way to me.  He made a final mighty push until his hairy mound was
hard against my face and exploded with several massive jets of his semen.  I
eased off him a little so I could taste this exquisite spillage and was not
disappointed with the delicious sensation of his maturer fluids on my
tongue.  He thrust back deeply into me, and more strong spurts of his
ejaculate made their way into my mouth and throat.  It was hard to believe
how much semen he had stored in his testicles to present to me.

When he had finished, Connie softened a little and was about to pull out of
me.  At last I made a movement of my own, and I held him tightly into me,
not allowing him to escape.  I eased my tongue back inside the folds of his
prepuce, sucking out the residue of his semen and cleaning the head.  He
twitched as my tongue hit the more sensitive parts, but stayed with me as
his penis partly deflated.  Eventually I released him and he took his member
from my mouth.

Hugging him tightly, I felt a great wave of emotion ride over me.  For that
brief moment I held Nikolas again, yet I knew it was his son.  Connie had
such a different way of behaving and the reaction on my part was to
recognise someone different in him.  We kissed again as I found my way back
to lying beside him.  "I felt like we have done that before, James.  Sort of
déjà vu.  There is something in me that makes me feel so close to you."  "In
a way we have done this before.  Connie, you are so much like your father.
I am sure he must have somehow instilled in to you his love for me."  It was
a weird and deeply moving experience, such that I can't explain it or try to
describe it any more than I have done so in these inadequate words.

Suddenly I remembered something else about Nikolas.  "Connie, would you like
a cigarette?" I asked him.  I never smoke in bed, but I remembered that
Nikolas used to like to have a cigarette after we had made love and before
he went to sleep.  "Yes, I am dying for a smoke.  How did you know?" Connie
asked.  "Let's just say that it is a family secret!" I replied as I quickly
made my way to the kitchen to retrieve tobacco, a lighter and an ashtray.
Some rules are meant to be broken, I decided as I carried these items into
the room.  Connie gratefully rolled a cigarette and laid back to enjoy it
beside me as I watched him smoke.  I noticed his penis was still firm,
perhaps about half hard, and I reached out to hold it, gently feeling the
contours of his manhood and squeezing it while he enjoyed the sensation.

He soon became fully hard again and I moved down so I could begin to suck on
his virile member.  Connie lay there, smoking contentedly as I nursed him.
When he finished the cigarette he immediately made another one and lit it
from the dying butt of his first, dragging the smoke deeply into his lungs,
exhaling it in long streams above my head as his climax built again.  His
penis swelled and hardened in the final stages of his sexual ride.  As the
climax neared, Connie took deep drags on his cigarette in time with my
sucking motion until he began to shoot out load after load of his creamy
juice.  He produced an amazing amount of semen; particularly considering the
amount of activity we had already had this evening.  Shuddering with the
impact of the orgasm, Connie stiffened as his body arched a final time and
the last drops of his fluid pumped into my thirsty mouth.  He lay back on
the pillows, smoking more of his cigarette and offering me a drag as I came
back to lie alongside him.  "Whew," he exclaimed, "I have never come three
times in a row before.  What a feeling it!  I have been waiting for this
night for a long time, but I can't believe how much juice I just shot out -
it felt like I was never going to stop.  Thank you for that, James.  Thank
you for that, Dad."

I loved his presence with me and felt so complete now that all my family had
shared their special gifts with me.  Connie reached for my still soft penis
and would have pleasured me if I had let him, but I assured him I was
happier to just lie with him and hold him.  Connie lay contentedly on the
bed until he had finished his cigarette and disposed of the butt.  He rolled
in to me, embracing me with such intensity, and we fell into a deep and
peaceful sleep in that way, his penis wedged against mine, his lips meshed
on to mine, our breathing becoming one, our pulse becoming one.

In the morning, after we had shared again the wonders of our bodies and were
sitting propped up in bed so we could enjoy an early smoke, Connie retrieved
a photograph from the nightstand that he wanted to show me.  I had not seen
it before, and guessed he had brought it from his personal stuff.  It showed
a young boy, perhaps early primary school age, spread-eagled as an older man
threw him into the air.  "That was me and Dad when I was about 6 years old,"
Connie explained.  "I don't have a lot of photos of me and Dad, but this one
is special to me and I keep it with me most of the time.  I just wanted you
to see it."

I could not have told if it was Nikolas standing with his back to me in the
photo.  Yet the young boy he held above him was undeniably a little Connie.
The laughter and brightness of the happy youngster in the old photograph
conveyed the love and trust he had for his father.  Arms and legs splayed
out as he flew through the air, Connie was at one with the universe as his
father played with him.  That moment, captured some 15 years previously, was
being shared with me as though Connie once again felt that love and trust as
he flew with me in a different way.  The multitude of experiences, the grief
and the gladness, the education and the responsibility of raising his
brothers all condensed in that single flash of time as Connie leaned across
and kissed me tenderly.  All he said was "Thank you, Dad, for letting me fly
again."  Yet those few words will forever be etched in my memory as the
moment when Connie let me in to the deepest part of his life.

A week later Wayan moved to the farm.  Connie had commenced his work as my
Grove Manager some weeks before and the cottage was fully set up the way he
had wanted it.  When Wayan rang to say that he had finished at university
for the year, Connie drove down to the city in their Volvo to collect him
and his goods.  Normally Wayan would have returned to his home in Bali for
the summer vacation, but he was able to gain a special visa extension for
work experience over the Christmas period and in to the New Year.  His
reason stated that farming and agriculture form the basis of all economics,
so he was going to have some first hand experience in ground roots financial
principals of an Australian farming environment.  I was required to provide
sponsorship guarantee for him to ensure his cost of living would be
guaranteed and that he would not become a burden on the Australian economy.

In the time when all this had been arranged Wayan had gone to extreme
lengths to make sure I would not be financially disadvantaged by him staying
with us.  He arranged for me to speak to his father in Bali who, in turn,
was pleasantly surprised when I greeted him in relaxed Indonesian and
continued the conversation in similar manner.  He had been expecting to have
to try and speak to me in halting English, so his relief was noticeable.  I
assured his father that I would let him know if there was anything that
arose where I needed assistance and thanked him for his concern and offer of
assistance.  He had already provided a medical consent form as part of the
sponsorship application, so I conformed with him that if anything serious
happened to his son, I would attend to the medical side of things on his
behalf.  We agreed to meet next time I was passing through Bali so that we
could get to know each other better, him offering me the use of their
spacious guest quarters in the house so I could stay as long as possible.  I
was impressed with the conversation and with the man, feeling instantly that
this was someone I would enjoy meeting.

Wayan was, of course, familiar with the property, having been to the farm a
number of times in the past few months.  I was not prepared, however, for
the exuberance of his arrival.  He had not had a chance to talk to me
personally since I had agreed to his immigration requirements, and he took
the opportunity immediately he and Connie arrived home.  Rushing into the
house, he dropped his case near the door and ran up to me to grab me firmly
around the waist and hugged me so tightly I thought I would stop breathing.
He shrugged back his long hair and turned his face up to mine and gave me a
brief kiss.  "Thank you so much James for your help.  I know that you and
Dad have spoken, and he was very happy to hear your voice.  I got my father
to send me something that you might enjoy, and this is my gift to you in
appreciation."  Wayan proceeded to let go of me to pick up a brown paper
wrapped parcel from his bag.  Opening the parcel I was pleasantly surprised
to find a 5-kilogram sealed bag of the finest Balinese coffee, printed, of
course, in the name of his father's business.

"Thank you, Wayan.  You did not have to do this, but I appreciate it, as we
all will."  I said, going in to the kitchen to put on water for a fresh pot,
thinking I would make us a coffee with the new grounds.  "Now, is there
anything you need to make your stay more comfortable?  I think Connie has
made sure most things are down at the cottage for you, but if not, please
let me know."  Wayan assured me that he would do that, not that he expected
there would be anything deficient.  Chris was in town collecting some
supplies from the agricultural distributor and would be collecting Nick from
school to bring him home, so the three of us sat in the sunroom to enjoy our
coffee.

As always, Wayan produced his kretek cigarettes, offering them around for
Connie and I to enjoy.  I often wondered how he managed to keep such a
supply of them available, knowing that they are very expensive in Australia
and that import regulations prohibit the carrying of large quantities of
tobacco products into the country.  Wayan was a heavy smoker, consuming two
or more packs a day.  "How do you manage to get so many cigarettes here,
Wayan?"  I asked him out of curiosity as I lit the proffered cigarette.  "It
is not that difficult," Wayan replied through a cloud of smoke.  "My father
has many business contacts in Perth and they are always travelling up and
down.  Many of them do not smoke, or at least they don't smoke these kretek
cigarettes, so they are happy to bring back a few cartons with them and pass
them on to me.  That is how I managed to get the coffee down here also.  It
is very handy."  We chatted for an hour or more till the boys came home from
town, then Connie and Wayan decided to go to the cottage so Wayan could
settle himself in.  I asked them to come back for dinner.

Later that night Chris and Nick climbed in to bed with me soon after I had
gotten there myself; their naked bodies silky smooth and cool to the touch
in the evening breeze.  There was an unspoken communication between the
boys, I was sure of that.  Many times one would react to another before a
word was spoken, carrying out whatever it might have been the other was
about to ask.  This night I saw again how this communication worked.  Chris
lay on his back at my side, his hand holding mine.  Quite without preamble,
Nick worked his way over my body and mounted Chris; his stiff penis
immediately finding it's way into the cleft of Chris's legs.  Chris did not
release his hold of my hand, and with his other arm he hugged his little
brother to him, urging him to find his release in the comfortable recesses
of his thighs.  Nick began his movement, gently and purposefully, working
his way into the deep cave under Chris's testicles.  Nick put his arm over
my chest and pulled me into the embrace he was enjoying with his brother.  I
was stimulated by the lovely sight of these two golden skinned boys so
intimately caressing each other, and doubly so by the movement of their
bodies as I rolled into the embrace.  Facing them, I had Nick's younger body
sliding up and down on top of his brother, his leg on the outside of Chris's
and rubbing against my penis.  I also had the thrusting movement of Chris
who was pushing up to meet each of Nick's gyrations, his pelvis adding to
the massage of my own penis.

Nick was moving faster now as his need rose to a climax.  Chris let go of me
to stop his brother reaching too quick a climax, tugging him upwards so that
Nick moved up his brother's body, legs straddling him, and was at last
sitting on Chris's chest, his throbbing penis over Chris's face and barely a
tongue length away from my own.  Nick's tough feet were now where my penis
pointed, the leathery skin, so recently running over rocks, pavement, grass
and paddock dirt, providing a tingling sensation to my nerve ends.  I pushed
towards the upturned sole of his foot, rubbing my dick into the thick skin
and letting it slide from the ball of his foot, across his high instep and
on towards the heels.  At the same time, Chris had opened his mouth to take
his brother in to his warm, moist cavity.  Chris poked his tongue in to the
tip of Nick's dripping foreskin, tasting the clear juice I could see
gathered there.  I also stuck out my tongue, pushing it in with Chris's so
that the two of us were ferreting around inside Nick's foreskin, each
searching out delicious fragments there, and providing Nick with an
exquisite array of sensory interaction.

Precum from my penis was providing lubrication to my journey over the hard
skin of Nick's foot, giving me a remarkable consciousness of the durability
of the human skin manifest to me in this most gloriously formed and
proportioned foot, sensed only through the perceptive skin of my inquisitive
penis.  His feet, like both Chris and Connie, were very well shaped.
Because they had spent the most part of their lives barefoot they had not
suffered the cruel torture of encasement and subsequent deformity brought
about by shoes.  The soles of their feet were a thicker pad of skin, very
strong and tough yet at the same time not rough.  Of course, my own feet
were almost the same texture, but it is so much more enjoyable an experience
to explore another's feet when they are so perfect as this.  Beside, my
penis could not have explored my own feet in this way:  I was simply not
supple enough to manage the convolution of my body that would be required to
achieve this kind of contact.

Nick, aware of my contact on his foot, was caressing me by clasping his foot
and releasing it again as I moved over it's surface.  He, too, was in need
of more than just the tonguing we were giving him.  He pushed a little,
entering Chris's mouth and taking my tongue in there with him.  Chris and I
withdrew from his foreskin, our tongues bidding each other adieu in a brief
encounter before I pulled out of the way.  Nick straight away plunged into
his brother, finding in the depths of Chris's mouth the solace he needed.
Chris closed his mouth over the beautiful organ that had been offered to
him, sucking the precum from the tip as he drew Nick along his tongue and
into his throat.  All this I was absorbing in close visual presentation,
adding to the tactile sensation my penis was receiving as it continued
exploring Nicks foot.  Nick pushed himself further in to Chris, the older
brother now capable of accepting him having practiced the art of oral sex
with me and his other brothers many times in these past few months since we
had first met.

The more Chris sucked, the more Nick pushed; the more his feet curled around
my penis.  His feet were amazingly prehensile and I had the feeling of being
gripped in a large calloused hand as his foot worked it's magic on me.  Nick
could not last long; he was already almost ready to come before Chris had
urged him into his mouth.  With a lurch, Nick rammed hard into Chris, his
penis fully enclosed in the loving mouth.  His body was reduced to an
uncontrollable contortion as the orgasm took over.  I saw Chris gulping
mouthfuls of the nectar being forced into his throat, the deep impact of
this eruption causing me to quickly reach my own orgasm, spurting my semen
onto the tough skin of Nick's foot. Smoothing the way for my final thrusts.
Chris, it seemed, had also been receiving his own stimulation.  Unseen by
me, with his other hand he had been wanking in time with our movements.  Now
he to arrived at his point of utmost pleasure, his body writhing under Nick
and forcing the younger boy to lurch even more into the mouth encompassing
his penis.

The three of us achieved a unity seldom found in this world.  Nick slumped
down, somehow wriggling his way to lie partly on Chris and partly on me.
Chris held me tightly, feeling every atom of his body alive as it subsided
from the climax of his orgasm.  I felt spent and satisfied, at the one time
exhausted and exhilarated, particularly with my two lovely boys now draped
over me in one way or another.  We dozed off, gradually falling into a
deeper sleep until, several hours later, the chill of the night woke the
more exposed boys, their movement triggering an overall wakefulness.  We
rearranged ourselves more comfortably into the bed, pulling a light cover up
to ward of the coolness.  In the morning we woke early, each of us with
throbbing erection that needed to be satisfied before any thought could be
given to the day's work.  I took hold of Chris and wanked his hard penis,
Nick took mine and Chris took Nicks.  In this way we brought each other to a
well-timed climax, each spraying the other with the semen coaxed from the
impatient tools that had been made to wait all night for this exercise.

Connie and Wayan had come to the house by time we had showered and started
preparing breakfast.  Wayan demonstrated to us how coffee is made in his
village, explaining that each district becomes somewhat renown not only for
the variety of coffee they grow, but also for how they prepare it.  He
boiled water and poured it over the grounds in a coffee pot, much as I would
have done, but then, after raiding my pantry for some spices and herbs,
added these ingredients and returned the whole pot to the heat for a moment
to complete the infusion process.  The resulting coffee, when he poured out
mugs for us, was an exotic taste sensation, combining the richness of his
family's Arabic coffees and the cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves he had added to
it.  We revelled in the drink, immediately appointing Wayan to be the chief
coffee maker for the duration of his stay with us.
