Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 19:37:18 -0600 From: dnrock@rock.com Subject: Russell The Red 17 Russell The Red by: dnrock(dnrock@rock.com) 17: Sociability and Sex, The True "Water of Life" Once everyone was talked out or at least when Iason had decided they were, he got the entertainment rolling. I was able to get keyboard and drum backup organized. The other brothers and Kos did the back up singing for me and I took the lead. Of course, I sang to Sheila but I know everyone enjoyed it a lot. On dad's ipod, I found a recording by a group called Foreigner, of a song called "I Want To Know What Love Is" (by Alex Sadkin). I found a video, and the words and music on the internet. We were able to organize ourselves. In the Foreigner recording, they had a full adult choir but we managed to do okay with just a hand full of boys and young men. Kos on the electric guitar and Yannie, with a bouzouki he had electrified. I never thought of using an instrument like that. It was great if I say so my self. The verses I sang solo and when we got to the chorus, everyone joined in and they got more powerful. Dad said it was in the old gospel tradition. The second verse was the same but the second and third times for the chorus, just kept building to a power crescendo. The third verse was sung like Foreigner did it, with the back up singers helping. When I sang the first verse, I was looking right at Sheila. We performed on the patio but were set up close to the house. Everyone was sitting at the little tables, in kind of a semicircle around us. I guess everyone's English was good enough to pick up the words, since it is sung slowly and I have a very clear voice. Max was signing for Bjorn. I could see him off to one side. Bjorn was giggling most of the time, so I guess Max's English to Danish DSL, left a little to be desired. We had printed the words, in English for him to read, so I took it Max missed some of the idioms or got them twisted up a bit. Anyway I was concentrating on Sheila but I know every girl in the audience thought I was singing to them. I had practised just a bit, so I could ham it up with gestures. I could see mom and dad thought I was doing very well, from the smiles of pride on their faces. I gotta take a little time A little time to think things over I better read between the lines In case I need it when I'm older Now this mountain I must climb Feels like the world upon my shoulder Through the clouds I see love shine It keeps me warm as life grows colder In my life there's been heartache and pain I don't know if I can face it again Can't stop now, I've traveled so far To change this lonely life I want to know what love is I want you to show me [I pointed right at Sheila] I want to feel what love is I know you can show me [I pointed right at Sheila] I'm gonna take a little time A little time to look around me I've got nowhere left to hide It looks like love has finally found me In my life there's been heartache and pain I don't know if I can face it again Can't stop now, I've traveled so far To change this lonely life I want to know what love is I want you to show me [I pointed right at Sheila] I want to feel what love is I know you can show me [I pointed right at Sheila] I want to know what love is I want you to show me [I pointed right at Sheila] I want to feel what love is I know you can show me (And I know) I know you can show me [I pointed right at Sheila][back up singers sing ()] Let's talk about love (I want to know what love is) [back up singers sing ()] The love that you feel inside (I want you to show me) And I'm feeling so much love (I want to feel what love is) No, you just can't hide (I know you can show me) [I pointed right at Sheila] I want to know what love is (let's talk about love), I know you can show me [I pointed right at Sheila] I wanna feel it too (I want to feel what love is) I wanna feel it too, and I know and I know (I know you can show me) Show me love is real, yeah - I want to know what love is. I did some other stuff too, like Hallelujah. I like to sing and the girls like my songs. Now don't misunderstand, I could not have done this without lots of help from all my brothers. The adults were most apprehensive but they are biased. Sheila made sure I got her approval later. When Photois told me, Spiros would engage his uncle, I had no idea that he meant in sex. Something I didn't learn for a few days but I get ahead of myself. While the children were being put to bed and settled in, the older girls helped us put the instruments and such away. Photois and Jytte rounded them up and headed everyone to the Aphrodite, while us boys said good night to the adults. Thanos had brought out the brandy and they all seemed to be in some kind of discussion or another, except for Thomas and his Wife. As soon as we retreated to our dorm, Max showed me how to get in and out the back staircase. He told me the security office would see me on the cameras and to signal. The door was opened, they were expecting this, and just wave to the camera. When I saw Spiros head for the Aphrodite, I followed him and about five minutes later, Sheila appeared on the dock. I was told by Max to use the second sail boat's cabin. We just walked hand in hand over to it. Once inside we had quite a surprise. The cabin had a large bed on the port side and a bench seat and little table, on the starboard. In the corner was a little light with just enough power to see but not well. On the table was a little vase of wild flowers. On the pillow was a little note that read: "I have done my job, you lovers are now on your own. Eros" Below the message was a little cartoon of two red headed lovers; a boy and a girl with arrows sticking from their hearts. Kos was in on this for sure. "Oh, Russell you think of everything. I love you so much." Okay, I didn't, but I didn't think this was a good time to argue the point. I doubt she was interested anyway. I kissed her and we sank to the bed. I am not quite sure what happened next but we kept kissing and before long we were pawing each other in the most erotic way. I know I was paying close attention to her every move or sound, making sure I was doing it right, you know, the most effective way. I can't say I was not trying to seduce her or she me. In fact, I was trying and so was she. The next thing I remember was a gentle knocking at the hatch and Paul's voice telling us we should get dressed and back to our dorms. We did, it was first light and we could almost now see. We quickly pulled on our undies, shorts and shirts. I kissed her several times at the gangplank and she slipped into the Aphrodite and I ran back into the main house and up to the boys' dorm. Everyone was asleep. I went and pissed, then pulled off my clothes and snuggled in bed with Kos and Seb. When the alarm woke us up we all hurried into the showers and took care of our hygiene tasks. I figured someone would say something but no one did, well not publicly. Each and every brother came up to me, expressing the same general thought. They all hoped we had a good time. Kos pulled me aside and after kissing me several times, he just asked, "Are you two still virgins?" I said, with a note of pride, "No". Kos just smiled, the kind of 'I'm proud of you' smile. During the day, each boy except Photois asked me privately about making love with girls, even Bjorn but he needed Max and Seb to sign for him. He was so cute. I don't know any other deaf children or adults for that matter but if they are anything like Bjorn, I sure want to. After the private part of our conversation was over, Sheila, Jytte and Photois joined us. That is when I learned Bjorn was the "poster boy" for the Danish hearing impaired society for the past couple of years. Photois was taking lots of pictures of him and Yannie would write a magazine article or two about his visit. That's when I learned Yannie was a published author, having written a number of magazine and newspaper articles. The Adonis family was due to arrive in about a half an hour and all of us boys, along with the older girls were to welcome them. Today we dressed in those unbelievably sexy "uniforms ordinary". They are spandex shorts, well that may not be exactly what the material is, that show it all off. I mean the shorts tuck into your butt cleft and the front leaves nothing to the imagination. The legs are real short and the rise is low. The tops are Tee shirts which cling to the body. The girls all had girl models. The Tee shirts don't come quite to the waist and the crotch is different. Sheila looked just great in hers. I must admit all of us boys were devastating. Each one of us is lean, but not skinny and our butts are oh so inviting. Some of the girls have nice butts too, like Sheila. I just hope Sheila keeps her eyes on me but I got to say, Kos and the other older boys are some handsome and sexy, and so are the coaches/guardians and several of the tutors. Kos quipped privately to me, this group could only produce sticky panties on the girls and stiff cocks on the boys. He should know, he does that even in street clothes. This jet buzzed the island, and swung around landing in a noisy cloud of dust. Presently the door opened and out popped another sexy group of boys and men, Mostly men but with them was a boy about my age, but jet black. Okay that's an exaggeration, very black with a smile and physique that just said be my friend. His name is David Henderson and he was adopted by Jason Adonis' uncle. The Adonis brothers came with several ladies, Jason Adonis' wife Eva, and several of the brothers' girlfriends. I noticed two things right off. These boys were hung like nothing I had ever seen before and they were all devastatingly handsome and tended to be very tall, except for one named Ziggy who was just a little shorter than Kos but a few years older. One other thing about them, they are openly bisexual and made a point of kissing every one, including both me and Sheila on the lips. The last two off were Drew Henderson and his lady Sandra Johnson. Sheila of course already knew all of these people. From the back of the jet they unloaded cases of private label wine from France and cases of frozen beef from Adonis' Alberta ranch. Drew and Sandra joined Sheila, myself, Photois and Jytte, since we were all younger and David melted into the Papas brothers knot while all the others joined the adults. By the time this new group got settled, it was lunch time. Right after lunch we all went swimming and let me tell you, I was impressed with these new young men. They were fit, very fit and talented and just well, so boyish. I never once felt like I was being treated as a kid. These boys were 4th year university students, well most of them but you could have fooled me. After a good swim the girls and boys separated into two groups for sports. We took a break about 3 and everyone went to the shrine. Mom and Sepp did most of the talking, with the other professionals answering questions too. You could see they were impressed to say the least. Drew asked more questions than anyone else. I guess he is interested in Anthropology and maybe even Archeology. Anyway his questions were very thoughtful. I also got the distinct impression that Ziggy had designs on my ass. One good look at his crotch and I sure hoped I was interpreting those signals correctly. I sure hope I am, since I like him a lot. I like them all but Ziggy and I just seemed to be kindred spirits. I figure he is probably gay but I don't have any clue why I think that. I know most of the boys are bi. Max told me he got fucked by every one of them, including Jason when they visited them in Calgary last year. Ziggy noticed right off the necklaces that Kos and I had and the design in the floor of the shrine were the same. While we all inspected the shrine, Photois and Trevor, he is the Adonis brother with photography as a hobby, had their cameras working overtime. I could see Stavors and Stan gravitated toward each other and figure they must have some professional connections, from the tenor of their conversations. It turned out that they had worked closely over the past two years on a joint Papas Shipping and Adonis Enterprises project, that involved cruise ships. All the the Adonis boys and girls had impressive diamond studs in their ears. Sandra and Drew had the most gorgeous necklaces too. All diamonds and emeralds. That is when I learned they were big time diamond merchants and mine owners. After a while the sun was low in the sky and it was getting time to head back, and before we went we performed the Ode to Zeus. I was a little nervous not having had a chance to practice but the fine arts tutor told me to watch him. Three of the coaches appeared with instruments: Pan's pipes, bouzouki and a lyre they would play along with our two guitars. The Pan's pipes opened Da, Da, Da, Da, Da-De-Da. Then we all came in Da, Da, Da, Da, Da-De-Da. Da, Da, Da, De, De, Da. This is repeated three times and so on. Then the singers begin. It was good and Max and Seb sang the high Alto parts. I wish I knew the words but I didn't. I think a drum would have added to the atmosphere but not today. Everyone was very much impressed. The song is in celebration of the Olympics but that was okay, it fit the mood. Mom pointed out later, the Pan's pipes and lyre were very ancient instruments, way older than the Bouzouki or guitars and are associated with Apollo. It was clear to me that the Adonis boys all got the message of the shrine. I was sure Iason would have his late night orgy too. I was looking forward to it. I only hoped he had some good way to separate us from our ladies for a long enough time. I guess I was assuming that having tasted my love, Sheila would be looking for more, I know I am looking for more of hers, a lot more. After another wonderful dinner of roast beef with so much wine that even the children got to drink. Well it was kinderwine, about half water but we did get some. Everyone performed again but only one song each, since all the Adonis brothers did something too. One of the best was a duet between Drew and Sandra. They did the Brian Adams song, 'Thought I Died and Gone To Heaven'. He did the first verse. They sang the chorus together and she did the second verse and so on. Kos and Ziggy backed them up on guitar and Eric, another Adonis brother, played the drums. I think our version of 'Taken Care of Business' went over well too. I was right, only dad could handle the lead guitar. That fellow Bachman must be real good to write stuff like this. I don't know who Iason talked to but I guess Sepp and Eva; anyway when the young children were taken to the Aphrodite the older girls and ladies all decided to use Apollo's pool for a nude swim and girl only party, so we men were sent away. She said something in German to Jason Adonis. Kon told me she said, you men go and do what you must. Just tell them to save some for us ladies. He just smiled and patted my crotch. I got that message. I noticed Uncle Thomas and dad joined us. Sepp, the grandfathers, Ed and stepfathers did not. About half of the tutors and security people also came. As we passed the Fine Arts classroom, everyone was instructed to leave his clothing behind and wear the sexiest little undies imaginable. They were black see through with a very soft and non transparent pouch. They were square cut but the material wrapped around your butt and tucked right into the cleft. The pouch was very soft and highly elastic so when you got hard it stuck straight out and became almost transparent. I didn't see the graduate students until we got to the shrine. We walked in pairs, I got Ziggy or he got me, anyway we were together and Kos was right ahead of me with David. When we crested the little hill, we saw the most wonderful sight. The whole area was lighted with a strong spot light on the statue. Sure the moon was mostly full and lit up the place but those spots sure added something. I guess the graduate students had set up solar powered lights. The solar panels charged batteries and they turned on the lights just before we got to the hill top. When we got to the plaza they joined us. Dem spoke to everyone: "We, Thanos and I, welcome you supplicants to this ancient and venerable shrine. We are not exactly sure of its original purpose or origin. We have no way to know if some specific ceremony was performed here in the past. We come here as supplicants to the concept of male love and bringing youth to manhood. Please, listen to our sons' encore performance of the Ode to Zeus, then worship and honour Zeus' and Ganymede's love for each other, in the way you each feel appropriate and comfortable." Piled by the entry were mats and a box with condoms and lube. I notice them as we assembled on the steps to sing and play. Most of the Greek speaking men sang along with us and we did make a mighty sound. When we finished, I found Ziggy again and we washed each others feet, placing our undies in our sandals, off to one side. Not everyone could possibly fit inside but that didn't seem to matter. I have no idea if everyone was into sex but I sure think they were. Ziggy was good and we shared the most wonderful time. I know it was like the other times at the shrine for me, as if Ganymede was whispering how much he loved his man, how much pleasure he received and how giving pleasure doubled the reward. Okay, that was probably only my own rationalization, springing from my right temporal lobe, but what the hell. I was momentarily sad to leave Ziggy but Drew, Photois and I along with several others had our ladies to attend to. We did not bother to dress and as we approached the Aphrodite, Sandra rushed to Drew and kissed him. All three girls looked us over and smiled approvingly. I don't know if it was the sexy undies or the size of our respective erections, our classic male shape or rock hard abs and butts. Perhaps it was the combination. Anyway Sheila and I headed for our little marine love nest and the others to their cabins. The ladies were not quite dressed either. All had diaphanous short little coverings which I realized covered white see through thongs and no bra. I could see her nipples clearly in the faint light. We were both ready for a second night of sexual bliss. That's exactly what it was too. Tonight we took the time for a close and detailed inspection of each other. After this head to toe survey and many kisses and fondles, we shared some thoughts and ideas. I know we were both about as sexed up as any to teens could possibly be but it seemed important to her. Sheila wanted to know why all the boys and men felt the need to pay a second, male only, visit to the shrine. I didn't quite know what to say. "Its just a male bonding kind of thing. Girls must feel the need to do that too?" "Well, we do," she said. I was puzzled by this. Then she said Sandra and Eva told her and Jytte that all the men in the Adonis family were bisexual and it looked to them that all the younger males on his island probably were too. I stumbled a bit so she added. "One of the other Adonis girlfriends added that none of them would ever admit to anything, so not to even bother asking." I replied, "Then why are you asking me?" She huffed a bit, "Russ are you having sex with those boys?" I didn't know if this was curiosity or jealously asking. "Well I could ask you the same question about you and the other girls but I choose not to." "I would tell, you know." I put my finger to her lips to silence her. "I don't want to know; it is none of my business. If your relationship with some other girl or boy comes between us, I will not be happy but better now then after we are parents, don't you think?" "But I'm not sure I want to share your love, Russ." Kos had warned me about this, he said, "Fuck them once and they think marriage is next week." I know he was just being sarcastic but... "Look Sheila we both share our love with dozens of others now: parents, siblings, other relatives, close friends, pets, our own children some day and so on. Dad told me, `Love is one of the few things in life that can and will just keep growing and expanding. It has no fixed boundaries or is not a limited quantity.' That is not the issue. I think you are talking about loyalty and fidelity here. We can be loyal to many things or groups at the same time too. What you want to know, what is my loyalty to you as my lover and friend. Sheila it is absolute. You are the only girl I am in love with, you are the only girl I even consider sharing my body with. You are not the only female I love and not the only female I count, or want to count, as a friend." "Eva told me that if I wasn't prepared to accept your bisexuality or my own, I should get out now." I just kissed her over and over. I did get her meaning about her own bisexuality. Hum, if she is ... I guess she kind of understands or will in time. I had never thought about that possibility. Hum, I could be replaced by another girl. That is what she is worried about, that she could be replaced by a boy. "Look, I know you are worried about being replaced by some boy. If it was another girl you could stand and fight but a boy, how do you fight that? The same for me. I'm willing to take that chance. I think we will always have a place in each others hearts, no matter what happens. I think our love is a gift from the gods and their gifts should be honoured." "Oh Russell you are so romantic. Even grandpa says I should hang on to you. You're a keeper. He really likes you. I overheard him talking to mom. He said you captured his heart the first time he met you. She said you were the grandson he always wanted. He just said, `something like that'." "Be glad I'm not or this would be incest." We laughed and got down to the pleasure of sex. I can't say, sex with boys is better than sex with girls; I don't have enough girl experience to judge, not exactly the same but not all that different. For me, I like both, I guess I just like sex. I kind of hope Sheila feels the same way. I guess I hope it is not boy sex or girl sex but sex with Sheila or sex with Kos that matters most in the future. Right now we are both just getting started at this and I guess experimentation and experience gathering, is what we are most about. Suddenly the old Greek ways started to make a little more sense. God I like sleeping with others and I sure like sleeping with Sheila. It must have something to do with how well our bodies fit together and that's just perfectly. We were awakened again by a gentle knocking on the hatch. When we got up I noticed that our fresh clothing was neatly piled on the little table, the flowers were fresh or had been the day before too. I wondered just who was playing Eros, well not play but helping. We cleaned up our little mess and taking the diaphanous costumes from last night headed for our respective dorms. I was about to head around the house for the back steps when Thomas called." "Red, you can enter through the main entrance." "He was a bit behind me hurrying down the path. I waited for him, I know my face was bright red again, I could feel the heat." "Don't be so self conscious little one. Look Eros there is smiling on you,' he said, putting his arm around my shoulders and giving me a little squeeze. The sun was just poking above the low hill and lighting up the sculpture's face. `You too sir.' We both chuckled. What if Judge Carter sees me, um sneaking back?" "I'm not 100% sure but let me tell you a story about my younger brother and our parents." "Grandmother and Grandfather Papas?" "Yes, when Thanos was 14 and I was 17, he got into a lot of trouble along with Dem. They were both involved with a group of friends; anyway three of the females all got pregnant by my little brother. Those two were put through hell for a long time after that. That took the heat off me for a long time too. I guess I owe them for that, but that's not the point. When those three grandchildren appeared all was instantly forgiven. I think you have probably noticed that their grandchildren are considered just slightly short of perfect. And living in Athens affords them the opportunity to spoil my daughters, if you hadn't noticed. From what I can see Ed is a grandparent." "He patted me on the back and we went in. When breakfast was finished, Dem got everyone's attention. `Iason, (that is the Greek spelling of Jason, not to be confused with Jason Adonis) as you all know is our resident organizer. Family and guests, you are about to be Iasonized.' Iason took over and outlined the day's activities. Swimming, sailing, helicopter and fixed wing flights and so on. The academics would take most of the afternoon aside to organize themselves for Monday." "Just so you all know," Thanos spoke, "Monday mid morning, we are welcoming guests from the National Museum, university and Ministry of Antiquities." "Later that day Drew and Sandra invited Sheila and me to a private meeting with Jason. I was not sure why but learned real fast. I guess none of the Adonis people are hesitant. Jason was most impressed with Sheila's necklace, the one I gave her for Christmas. He asked Sheila for a closer inspection. While he was doing that Drew and Sandra laid their diamond and emerald necklaces on the table. I had not seen these since they arrived. I could see they were the same general idea as Sheila's but way more expensive, being precious stones and gold. Sheila's is enamelled copper, called cloisonne. Jason asked about its origin. I told him that Nadine, Kos' girlfriend designed and created it on my commission. Nadine and Kos attend the same art school where she studies jewelry making." "Well this is mighty fine workmanship. My uncle designed these and ones much like them for Eva and I. Would you get Kos to join us, please." I took out the little radio all the boys carry, given to us when we first arrived, and called Kos.
