	"Logan, I have something for you," Richard said.

	Richard handed the pocket watch over to his eleven year old son,
hoping this would help smooth things over a little. Logan grasped the
pocket watch from his father's hand carefully, initially surprised at the
heaviness of the trinket.
	Logan unhooked the clasp of the pocket watch and opened it up. His
eyes widened as soon as she saw what was inside. It was a black and white
picture of Logan and Jesse that had been taken when Jesse was fourteen and
Logan was eight. They were both sitting on a white platform with a white
background, several white sheets on the platform. Both of the boys were
completely naked. Jesse was sitting with his legs spread and his knees
bent, staring up at the camera with a bright smile on his face, his body
angled in just the right way that his private parts were hidden behind his
leg. Logan was sitting Indian style beside his older brother, his hands and
one of the sheets positioned in a way that they covered his private parts
as well.

---------------------------

	"For my birthday, I want you to take away my virginity. That's what
I truly want."

	Cody remained silent for a few long seconds, just staring deeply
into the younger boy's beautiful blue eyes. Finally, he mustered up the
courage to say it.

	"Okay," Cody said. "For your birthday, I'll take your virginity
away."

---------------------------

	Cody noticed something hanging on the doorknob as he walked up the
steps onto the porch. It was a rolled up piece of paper hanging on the
doorknob by a rubber band. He grabbed the piece of paper off the door and
opened it up. A blank piece of paper with three words. It said:

	Cody,
		I know...

---------------------------

	Cody leaned down with a movement as swift as an eagle, but as sweet
and soft as an angel. The older boy locked his lips onto Logan's own
delicate young lips for a nice, long first kiss. Logan found himself almost
surprised at first, but allowed the moment to continue, as sweet and
beautiful as it now was. They kissed one another with a passion neither of
them had even known before as they continued to dance on the deck of the
boat, just the two of them, their song, their waters, and their sunset.

---------------------------

	Cody squeezed the younger boy's hips with his hands instinctively
as he pumped his hard dick in and out. Cody felt like a wild man as he
fucked this helpless young child. He felt as great and free as an
undomesticated jungle man, knowing he was about to climax with a force
greater than that of a gorilla's clutch. Suddenly, Cody felt his hot cum
spurt out the tip of his dick, which was still buried deep inside Logan's
anus. Cody rocked his head back and yelped in immense , unbelievable
pleasure, pushing his cock inside the boy's butt as far as it would
possibly go, his pubic hair mashed flat between him and Logan's buttocks as
he came. Logan squeezed the end of the pillow even harder as Cody came
inside him. The younger boy moaned rather loudly as Cody came inside him,
feeling the pain grow greater inside him.

---------------------------

	"I really am sorry that I was so rough with you last night."

	Logan sat up, turned around, and faced the older boy.

	"I don't want you to worry about it," Logan said simply. "You just
did what I asked for last night. And I wanna thank you for it. Last night
was the best night of my life, Cody. I got to dance with the most handsome
guy I know and then I lost my virginity to the man I've fallen in love
with."

	Cody looked into the younger boy's eyes again. He had to do a
double take within his mind. Logan had actually used the word love.

	"Love..." Cody mumbled.

	Logan nodded affirmatively.

	"I love you... Cody," Logan said sweetly.

	Cody smiled at his young boyfriend brightly, feeling as if his skin
was about to take him in every which direction at the same time. His heart
pounded excitedly within his chest, making breathe a little harder.

	"I... I love you too, Logan," Cody said. "More than anything in
this life."

Chapter Nine
	"Birthday Wishes"




Sunday, August 2, 1998


	Logan and Cody were taking a bubble bath together in the huge
garden tub in the master bathroom on the morning of Logan's twelfth
birthday. Country music was playing lightly from the bathroom stereo. The
boys' clothes lay discarded all over the bathroom floor. Cody sat up
against the side of the porcelain bathtub with Logan cradled against his
naked body, the boy's head resting in the crook of his arm as usual, and
Cody's arm draped over the smaller boy's torso. They had been sitting in
this position a lot lately, which Cody and Logan both thoroughly
enjoyed. Earlier that morning, Cody had made breakfast burritos and served
them to Logan while the boy was still in bed. After they had breakfast
together in bed, Logan decided he needed take a bath, and that he needed
Cody to take a bath with him. Cody gladly accepted that invitation and they
stripped their clothes off and jumped into a nice, hot bubble bath
together.

	"Mmm, this is so nice," Logan said peacefully as he ran his small
hand up and down the length of Cody's arm, which was resting against his
chest and stomach.

	"Yeah..." Cody said. "I can't remember the last time I had an
actual bath. I've been taking showers since I was like... hell, I don't
even remember how old I was. But it's probably been a better part of ten
years since I took a real bath like this."

	"I like baths every once in a while," Logan said. "They're
relaxing. Showers are quicker, but baths are just... nicer, I think."

	"So my boy's turning twelve today," Cody said sweetly.

	"Yep, I might as well start getting ready to collect my social
security."

	Cody chuckled.

	"I think you have a few more years before you have to think about
that."

	"Crapola, I almost have to walk with a cane right now anyway. And
that's your fault I'll have you know."

	"You told me just last night not to worry about that!"

	"I know. I'm just teasing you," Logan said with a smile.

	With that, Logan turned his head around and reached up to give Cody
a short, sweet kiss on the lips. Cody returned the kiss and then smiled at
the younger boy.

	"Ugh, I just wish this weekend didn't have to end now," Logan said,
his upper lip curled almost in disgust.

	"Hey, we still have the whole day together," Cody reminded him. "We
don't have to go back home until later this evening."

	Logan sighed deeply, still seeming bummed out.

	"I know. I just wish we could just like... you know... stay here
forever. Just the two of us. Wouldn't that be awesome?"

	"That'd be heaven on earth. But unfortunately, life just doesn't
work like that."

	"Nope. Oh well. At least we'll still be together like we always
were before this weekend. We'll have morning feedings to do together and
you're not with Darlene anymore, so we'll have even more time to spend
together."

	"Not really. We spend too much time together and our folks'll get
suspicious."

	"Yeah, that's true, I guess."

	"Well, the next ten hours are yours completely until we have to go
home," Cody said to the younger boy. "Whatever you wanna do, we'll do
it. You just name it."

	Logan placed his index finger up against his mouth playfully,
acting as if he was thinking seriously about the what he wanted to do for
the day.

	"Hmm, honestly, I have no idea. It'd be kinda hard to top Friday
night, you know?"

	"You're telling me. I don't think any night could ever be more
perfect."

	Logan shot that beautiful smile of his.

	"You really think so?"

	"Of course I do!" Cody exclaimed. "I was with the beautiful boy I
love on a gorgeous summer night on the lake with no one else around,
dancing, making out, and making love till our hearts were content. In my
opinion, nothing can beat that."

	"That was beautiful, Cody," Logan said, referring to the words Cody
had chosen to use in his description of their Friday night together. "Now
that you've labeled sex as making love, I know there's no possible way
you're not queer."

	"That's good for you then, right?"

	Logan just grinned.

	"We could always go swimming again," Logan suggested. "My
shoulder's are kinda sunburned from yesterday though."

	"They are?" Cody asked, examining the boy's shoulders. "They don't
looked burned."

	"Oh, it's probably already turned brown by now. I always burn a
little and it turns into a tan. I can tell that's how you are too."

	"What gives it away?"

	"Everything below your waste is a lot whiter than your chest and
back and stuff. Your back's so tan it's almost brown, but your butt's
almost as white as your underwear."

	"Yeah, you're a fine one to talk," Cody said to the boy. "I think
your butt's actually whiter than your underwear."

	Logan chuckled cutely.

	"Cody, I was wondering about something," Logan said.

	"What?" Cody asked.

	"Have you ever tried wearing boxers before?" Logan asked.

	"Yeah, I've worn them before. I didn't like them though. Boxers are
like way too loose and when you wear blue jeans as tight as mine, your boys
need a little more restraint than that."

	"Jesse wore boxers a lot," Logan commented.

	"He did? I don't remember that."

	"Well, he didn't start wearing boxers until he was like fifteen,
but yeah, he wore them a lot after that."

	"Have you tried boxers before?" Cody asked.

	Logan shook his head.

	"Nah. I thought about it once, but I don't think I'd like them,"
Logan said. "Besides, I think I look better in tighty whities."

	"You'd look hot in anything you wore," Cody said. "But yeah, tighty
whities look very hot on you. Makes me horny when I see you in them."

	"Really?" Logan asked with a smile.

	"Hell yeah! Makes me even hornier when I see you without them
though."

	"Yeah? Well, how's about I give you a look..."

	With that, Logan stood up in the bathtub in front of Cody, his
completely naked body soaking wet and warm from the hot bath water, white
suds from the bubble-bath sticking to the younger boy's body in various
places, including his crotch area. Cody looked over the boy's beautiful
body in awe, already feeling his member grow to attention under the
water. Just like a charm, as soon as he saw Logan naked like this, he
became horny. Cody paid special attention to Logan's penis, which was
mostly covered by suds. Cody sat up in the bathtub and crossed his legs
Indian style. When he sat all the way up, his face was within a few inches
from Logan's wet, flaccid penis. Logan looked down into the water from
where he stood. The clumps of bubbles had parted enough that Logan could
see Cody's penis under the water. Sure enough, it had grown as hard as a
rock. The head of Cody's large dick was poking out above the bubbly surface
of the water now, like a turtle sneakily sticking its head out of the water
of a pond.

	Logan chuckled all of a sudden.

	"Hmm, well, you weren't lying at least," Logan said.

	"I told you," Cody said. "Seeing you naked makes me horny as hell."

	Logan just smiled down at the older boy sweetly. A comfortable
silence overtook the boys suddenly. Using his wet hands, Cody wiped the
suds away from Logan's penis as best as he could. Once Logan's penis was
free of bubbles and completely visible to Cody, he began to examine the
preteen wonder in front of him. He was amazed to see that Logan still
hadn't developed any hair in his pubic region yet. There was a perfection
about Logan's little flaccid boyhood: the way it was cut with just a hint
of extra skin left over (presumably accidentally, but that didn't matter to
Cody), the way his hairless scrotum hung in perfect harmony with his shaft,
and the way the head didn't seem too mushroom-shaped or too pointy. It was
just right. This boyhood was the embodiment of boyish perfection. Cody
stared at the preteen boy's penis lovingly, realizing this was a rare sight
for anyone to see. The sight of a grown man's penis could be brought up
just about anywhere these days, especially with the possession of a
computer, but to see the penis of a beautiful, perfect twelve year old boy
-- that, Cody figured, was special.
	The teenage boy closed his eyes and began to lean in slowly. His
lips finally made contact with the warm, moist skin of Logan's penis. He
kissed the limp shaft caringly as he placed his hands on the backs of the
boy's legs and began to run them upward. He let his hands glide slowly all
the way up the back of Logan's legs until he reached the boy's butt
cheeks. At that point, he kept his hands on the boy's buttocks, one hand on
each cheek, and he rubbed the boy's butt with his hands. Cody continued to
kiss the boy's penis on the other side, finding an immense enjoyment out of
this activity. After several minutes of Cody's sweet kissing, Logan's
boyhood came to life and hardened while the older boy's lips were still
playing with it. Once Logan's penis became hard, Cody gently allowed the
fleshy boner to the enter his mouth. With that, he began to suck lightly on
it, just enjoying the feel of it inside his mouth, sliding back and forth
against his moist tongue. Logan sighed erotically as his older boyfriend
sucked lightly on his penis. The boy placed his hands on the back of Cody's
head, his hands now moving back and forth in motion with Cody's head as the
older boy continued sucking.

----------------------------------

	Later that night, around six o'clock in the evening, Cody was
sitting at the captain's seat in the driver's room, maneuvering the boat
through the lake towards Twillingate Shore. Logan was in the master bedroom
cleaning up and packing their bags once again. Their wonderful weekend had
officially come to an end. As Logan packed their clothes and toiletries and
made the bed, he felt somewhat melancholy. He understood that he would
still see Cody the very next morning so they could do their usual mornings
feedings, and they would probably spend the afternoon together as well, but
he still felt sad. He had enjoyed the entire weekend with Cody. Friday
night had simply been the best night of his entire young life. He had been
able to dance with the boy of his dreams for hours and hours, and then that
same boy took his virginity away that night just as he asked. The rest of
the weekend, although they didn't do much of anything, had also been very
nice. He knew Cody had been trying to take it easy on him since he was
still having a hard time walking around. Logan knew his grandmother would
notice that. He already had his fake story ready to go though. Logan just
enjoyed having the entire weekend with Cody. He wished with all of his
heart that they could reverse time and relive the weekend over and over
again, but some birthday wishes just can't come true, no matter how hard
you wish or how secret you keep the wish. Logan stood at the dresser,
Cody's bag sitting on the surface of the wooden dresser, and he was
throwing Cody's clothes into the duffle bag. After he had emptied out the
drawers, he glanced up and caught a look of himself in the mirror. The
collar of his t-shirt was hanging down a little, revealing his neck. Logan
stared at the huge, purple bruise (hickey) that Cody had left on him the
other night by kissing and sucking on that spot for so long. Logan knew it
seemed trashy and unseemly to have a hickey, but he smiled when he saw it,
regardless of the way it appeared. After all, if people were to know that
Cody had given him this hickey at all, unseemly would be a severe
understatement of how it would appear to others.
	Thinking of that, Logan began to wonder how he would hide the
hickey. It was still very dark and very noticeable. At least it was far
enough down on his neck that most of his shirt collars would cover it. He
made a mental note to change his shirt before his grandmother saw him later
that night. With that, he continued packing and getting everything cleaned
up. Once the master bedroom was tidied up, he picked up his and Cody's bags
and carried them down the stairs. With every stair he walked down, his butt
stung slightly. It felt as if every muscle he had up there was bruised and
worn out. He recalled trying to do a number two a few hours before. It was
not fun. Or easy. He placed his and Cody's duffle bags downstairs next to
the door. After that, he went around the living room and the kitchen to
tidy up a little bit more. Once he was sure everything was back to its
original spot, he walked out onto the back deck to watch as they drove
further and further away from the cove they had spent the entire weekend
in. He could no longer see the place where that cove was now. They had been
riding for about thirty minutes now, so Logan figured they were probably
getting close to home.
	About ten minutes later, they made it back to Ruth Henderson's
house. Cody ever so carefully docked the boat inside the small boat
hangar. Once the houseboat was situated nicely, Cody killed the
engine. With that, he joined Logan downstairs and they went around turning
off all the lights and electrical devices. Logan turned off all the power
completely and then he and Logan walked off the boat together onto the
wooden dock. They knew Ruth was still at church. In fact, church had only
started about thirty minutes before, so they knew they still had about an
hour and a half before she would arrive home. Feeling free enough to do so,
Logan reached over and took Cody's hand into his own as they walked side by
side on the wooden dock towards the house.

----------------------------------

	Once the boys were inside Ruth's house, they walked upstairs to
Logan's bedroom together. They dumped their bags on the floor and then both
of them flopped down on Logan's queen-sized bed together, both of them
completely exhausted. Cody laid down on his back and Logan rested his head
in the crook of Cody's arm again, draping his own arm over Cody's chest
sweetly.

	"Damn, I didn't realize how tired I was," Cody commented.

	"I know," Logan said simply. "I could fall asleep like this in a
second."

	"Well, we can't though. Your grandma will be home soon."

	"It's only half after six now. Church just started pretty much."

	"Yeah, you're right. We have plenty of time. Tell you what, if you
wanna take a short nap right now, I'll stay up and guard just in case."

	Logan stayed quiet for a few seconds, considering something else he
wanted to do.

	"Actually, I was thinking of something else we could do," Logan
said as he reached up and rubbed his forehand against Cody's smooth cheek.

	"Which is what?" Cody asked suspiciously.

	"Well, we do have like almost two hours before Grandma will be
home. We could... you know... you could... do me again?"

	"What?? How can you even think about that?"

	"Well, why not?? It's just the two of us here."

	"That's not what I mean. Logan, you can still barely walk without
limping. You really wanna repeat the process?"

	"Not if you call it `the process.' But Cody, I want you
to. Really."

	"I want to too, but I just don't wanna hurt you anymore than I
already have."

	"You didn't hurt me, Cody. I mean, sure, what we did together hurt
me a little bit, but only in the literal sense. You didn't hurt me in some
dramatic soap-type way."

	"Logan, are you sure this what you want?"

	"More than anything right now. I swear."

	Cody stayed silent for a few long seconds as he thought about
this. He didn't want to hurt Logan again like he had the first time
around. But at the same time, he so desperately wanted to have sex with the
boy again. After all, who knew when they would receive a good enough
opportunity again?

	"Okay. We can do it."

	"Yay!" Logan said in a high-pitched voice.

	Logan leaped up from the bed, turned on the television set to block
any noise they would make together just in case Ruth came home early, and
then turned off the light. He reached into Cody's duffle bag and grabbed
the Vaseline and condoms. He placed them on his nightstand and turned on
the small bedside lamp which sat on that same nightstand. Cody just laid on
the bed watching Logan move around, a grin draped across his lips.

	"What?" Logan asked.

	"Oh, nothing," Cody said simply. "You're just such a crazy, sexy
boy."

	"That's what I like to hear," the younger boy said.

	Still standing to the side of the bed, Logan lifted his yellow
t-shirt over his head and let it fall to the floor. He kicked his
flip-flops off his feet, not caring where they landed. Cody watched the boy
from where he lay on the center on the queen-sized bed, still smiling at
his boy lovingly. Logan hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his blue
soccer shorts and then pushed them down, letting them fall down to his
ankles. He kicked the shorts off his feet, standing to the side of the bed
wearing only his white cotton Fruit of the Loom briefs. With that, Logan
crawled onto the bed, still mindful of the dull pain in his butt. He
strived not to let Cody notice how much pain he was still in, afraid that
Cody would take back what he said and refuse to have sex with him
again. Logan crawled over his older boyfriend, still on all fours, and
leaned in to kiss Cody on the lips. The sweet kiss only lasted for a few
seconds and then Logan pulled away. He helped Cody sit up on the bed a
little bit and then he sat down on Cody's lap. Logan's legs straddled
Cody's waist as he sat down on the older boy's lap, their faces almost
touching one another's, and the brief-covered crevice of Logan's butt
placed directly on Cody's clothed, now hardening penis.
	Cody wrapped his arms around the boy's body, placing his hands on
Logan's back as he sat on his lap. Logan loosely draped his arms over the
older boy's shoulders. With that, Logan began to grind his butt against
Cody's stiff penis, which was still covered by his jeans. Logan was in
quite a bit of pain as he performed this task, but he strived very hard not
to let the pain show on his face. Cody moaned in pleasure as Logan grinded
his butt against his penis. Cody was finally ready to take his clothes
off. As Logan continued to grind, Cody lifted his shirt over his head and
threw it to the floor. Afterward, Logan got up so he could help Cody out of
his pants. Logan unfastened Cody's jeans and then pulled them all the way
down. Logan took Cody's boots off and dropped them to the ground as
well. He grabbed Cody's jeans, pulled them the rest of the way off, and
then took the boy's socks off. Cody now laid on the bed in just his white
Hanes briefs.
	Deciding not to waste any time, Logan crawled up, grabbed the sides
of Cody's briefs, and then pulled them all the way off as well, leaving
Cody completely naked on his bed. Logan was almost ecstatic to have Cody
Haynes on his bed naked. He had fantasized about it many times and now that
it was happening, it didn't seem real. Cody's excited cock was sticking up
in the air now. Logan knew what to do to get Cody even more excited
though. He stood up on the bed in front of the boy, his legs spread widely,
his own hard boyhood constricted by the tight material of his FTL
briefs. Logan began to dance on the bed for Cody, shaking his small bubble
butt wildly and humping the air.

	"You like what you see?" Logan asked, his voice sounding so sexy to
Cody as the younger boy continued to dance on the bed.

	"Oh god yes!" Cody said as he wrapped his hand around the shaft of
his cock and began to stroke it up and down.

	Logan continued to dance on the bed in just his white briefs. He
would turn around, stick his butt out in Cody's direction, and shake it
wildly. He began to move closer to Cody deliberately, his cute butt still
poking out. He got closer and closer, still shaking his butt riotously,
until his butt was within inches of Cody's face. Cody continued to stroke
his cock up and down with one hand. With his other hand, he reached up
above the younger boy's butt, grabbed the elastic waistband of Logan's
white briefs, and then pulled the waistband down as far as he could, now
revealing the younger boy's cute butt completely. Logan was actually
surprised he did that. With that, he turned all the way around until his
now scantily covered crotch was in front of Cody's face. Logan's briefs
were still on, but they were now pushed down so low due to Cody's pulling
down on the backside of them that the very base of his penis was exposed to
Cody. Logan humped the empty air directly in front of Cody's handsome face,
the younger boy's arms lifted in the air freely. To Cody, Logan resembled a
stripped right now, which he found to be very hot. Cody continued to pump
his cock with his hand as Logan humped the air in front of his face.

	"I think it's about time you lose the tighty whities, boy," Cody
said.

	"Why don't you take them off for me?" Logan dared as he continued
dancing.

	"Alright, you asked for it!" Cody said.

	Without hesitation, Cody shoved the younger boy down onto the bed
rather roughly, which actually took Logan by surprise. But Logan just began
laughing uncontrollably once his back hit the mattress. Cody sat up,
reached over, and clutched the bottom of Logan's white briefs in his
hand. Logan was laughing so hard now that he couldn't gain enough control
to prevent Cody from pulling his underwear down with one hand. Cody yanked
the briefs all the way off and then threw them to the floor, leaving Logan
completely naked as well. Cody chuckled at the boy's suddenly unmanageable
laughter and then crawled sexily over Logan's smaller body. He hovered on
all fours over the boy's body, his nose just inches above Logan's. Logan
was still laughing jovially, just enjoying this playful game between the
two of them.

	"So, what'd you think `bout that, huh??" Cody asked playfully.

	Logan continued laughing, but softer now. Finally, his laughter
died down enough for him to speak up to Cody.

	"Was that the best you could do?" Logan asked daringly, still
chuckling.

	"Nope," Cody said seriously. "What I'm about to do is gonna be the
best I can do."

	The younger boy suddenly grew quiet, considering Cody's previous
sentence, realizing the nature of it. The boys stared into each other's
eyes adoringly. Logan reached up from where he lay underneath Cody's warm,
naked body and gently rubbed the older boy's chest with the palm of his
hand. A few seconds later, Cody bent his elbows and lowered himself
downward, as if doing a push-up. He slowly sunk all the way down until his
lips could reach Logan's. Once their lips touched, they instantly locked
together lovingly, leading into a passionate kiss.

----------------------------------

	Gill Craig had been waiting for the past hour on the other side of
Ruth Henderson's house from the dock where he couldn't be seen. He had been
waiting for Cody Haynes and his little cousin to arrive home after having
spent the entire weekend on the houseboat together for Logan's
birthday. Gill had heard news of the event from his mother who had been
informed about it by Ruth herself over the phone a few days prior. Knowing
that they would arrive home sometime Sunday evening, probably while Ruth
was in church, Gill decided to sneak over to his grandmother's house, just
so he could witness for himself how Cody Haynes acted around his little
cousin when no one else was around. Ever since Darlene told Gill about
Cody's tendency to hang out with Logan so much, he had begun to grow
suspicious. Recalling how Cody and Gill's cousin Jesse acted around one
another years before, Gill was starting to wonder about the nature of
Cody's presumably plutonic relationship with Logan Henderson. He knew
better than to believe it was completely innocent though. After seeing the
things that took place between Cody and Jesse not even three years before,
Gill figured there was no way Cody could spend this much time around
Jesse's little brother without Cody managing to squeeze a little nastiness
out of Logan. After all, Logan was Jesse Henderson's little brother. Gill
remembered Jesse at eleven or twelve years old. That boy had already
experienced quite a bit by then, so who's to believe that Logan would be
any different?
	When Gill saw the two boys walking up the dock together towards the
house, he had quickly crouched down and moved behind one his grandmother's
bushes at the base of the front porch. He could still see Cody and Logan
from where he hid behind the bush. His eyes widened in a vengeful anger
when he witness his little cousin reach over and take Cody Haynes'
perverted hand into his own. He knew it! He absolutely knew it! He so
desperately wanted to reveal his presence and then just kill Cody Haynes
where he stood. He thought better of it though. He crouched even lower as
the boys walked up onto the front porch together hand in hand. Once the two
boys were inside the house, he heard the deadbolt lock from the other side
of the front door. With that, he crawled over to the side of the house,
making sure to avoid any windows he could be seen in.
	Gill crawled all the way to the back of the house. Once there, he
looked around cautiously and then very quietly climbed over the fence into
the backyard. The sun was still shining brightly at this point, so he knew
he needed to be extra careful. He hid behind the corner of the house at the
side, looking into the backyard from where he stood. The backyard was
silent. He got down on his knees and crawled over to the large kitchen
window. He cautiously rose his body until he could see through the window
into the kitchen. The kitchen was empty. He could also see the den, which
was empty as well. Gill took a few steps back and looked up at the windows
on the second level. He didn't know for sure, but he had figured that his
Uncle Richard's old bedroom was now Logan's bedroom. He figured this must
be true, because that particular bedroom window was the only window on the
second floor that had light shining through it now. There was roofed ledge
that sat directly under the bedroom window. Underneath the ledge was the
first floor sunroom that his grandfather had built himself years
before. Gill began to think of a way to climb up onto that ledge. Perhaps,
once he got up there, he could vigilantly take a glance through that window
to see what Logan was up to with Cody Haynes up there.
	He carefully walked over to the shed to retrieve an eight-foot
ladder. There was a padlock on the shed's door clasp, and sure enough, it
was locked. Gill cursed under his breath and rolled his eyes. He thought of
something else he could do. He knew it would be risky, but he was desperate
to catch Cody Haynes in a wrong act, no matter what it consisted
of. Technically, as far as Gill was concerned, he already had enough
ammunition to bring Cody Haynes down enough notches to make him the most
unpopular person in seven counties. But he wanted more than that. He wanted
to bring Cody down as hard as he could. No one on this planet had ever made
Gill angrier and more resentful than Cody Haynes. What Cody had done to him
was something he would never forgive. Gill couldn't think of that right now
though. He needed only to focus on the task at hand. Revenge would come
eventually and it would be as sweet as sugar, but right now was the time to
make sure he had all of his bases covered and not to make any stupid moves
that could potentially cost him this one, glorious chance at revenge. With
that, Gill swiftly made his way back to the side of the house. There was a
green, ceramic turtle sitting next to his grandmother's birdbath towards
the side of the house. Gill lifted that ceramic turtle and underneath it
lay a hide-a-key for a back door. He took hold of the key, placed the
turtle back down, and then cautiously made his way to the back door. He
slid the key into the lock, disengaged the dead bolt, and then ever so
carefully opened the door.
	The house was quiet. Gill gently closed the back door behind
him. He faintly heard voices coming from upstairs. With that, Gill made his
way up the back staircase, mindful of every step he took. Once he arrived
at the second level, Gill walked through the very first door he saw, which
happened to be the door leading into his grandmother's bedroom. He hid
behind the threshold, feeling much like a professional spy. When he was
sure the coast was clear, he cautiously walked back into the long, narrow
hallway. As he walked, he suddenly hit a squeaky spot in the floor. He
clenched his teeth angrily and quickly moved over to the side. The voices
coming from Logan's bedroom sounded unhindered, so Gill pressed on. From
then on, he sauntered down the hallway with his back against the wall. When
he made it to Logan's bedroom, he suddenly heard footsteps coming towards
the door from the other side. Gill immediately disappeared behind the
nearest bedroom threshold, which was actually his grandmother's study. He
remained in his grandmother's study room for a minute or so, never hearing
Logan's bedroom door open. He looked around the corner into the hallway. He
could see underneath the bottom crack of Logan's closed bedroom door that
his light had been turned off, replaced by the bluish light of the
television. Gill walked out into the hallway and moved towards Logan's
bedroom door, feeling braver now for some reason.

	"You like what you see?" Gill heard Logan ask from inside the
bedroom.

	"Oh god yes!" Logan heard Cody reply.

	Gill almost smiled, now having an idea about what was really going
on behind the closed door of Logan's bedroom. Gill moved towards the
nearest bedroom, which was right next door to Logan's bedroom. The bedroom
Gill walked into had been his mother's bedroom when she still lived
here. Gill walked into the bedroom and gently closed the door behind him,
mindful of each and every squeak that was made. He heard the faint
squeaking of a mattress coming from the air conditioning vent on the
ceiling, which was directly connected to the vent inside Logan's bedroom.

	"I think it's about time you lose the tighty whities, boy," Gill
heard Cody say.

	"Why don't you take them off for me?" Gill heard Logan ask.

	"Alright, you asked for it!" Cody said.

	Gill's mouth dropped open as he realized what was happening just on
other side of the wall from him. He suddenly heard a lot of laughing from
both boys and a lot of squeaking of the mattress. He could only imagine was
happening over there. Gill stood directly under the vent, listening to
everything that was happening. He stood there silently listening to the
boys on the other side of the wall, now knowing what they were doing. After
a while, he started to hear groans that only people who were having sex
made. Gill couldn't believe how lucky he was to have arrived at such a
perfect time. He now had proof about what was going on. Gill looked over at
the bedroom window, noticing that the roof of his grandmother's sunroom sat
under this bedroom window as well. Gill walked over to the window and
unlocked it. He held his breath as he pulled the window open ever so
carefully, just hoping upon hope that it wouldn't squeak. It was obvious
now that everything could be heard due to that air vent in the ceiling.
	Once the window was open, Gill quietly climbed over the window seal
onto the shingled roof over the sunroom. He kept his back against the brick
wall as he moved over towards Logan's bedroom window. When he made it to
the window, he was relieved to see that the blinds were opened up a little
bit, giving him enough access to see inside. Gill looked through the window
into the bedroom. His jaw dropped all the way down when he saw what was
happening inside. He couldn't believe his own eyes. Cody and Logan were
both on the edge of the bed naked and Cody was fucking the younger boy up
the ass. Cody was on top with his cock lodged deep inside Logan's anus,
pumping away like there was no tomorrow. Logan was on the bottom with his
legs wrapped around Cody's torso for support and his hands holding tightly
onto Cody's arms, which were propping his own body up as he fucked the
younger boy. Both of them were moaning erotically and each of them had
their eyes closed. Gill thought his little cousin looked to be in a lot of
pain at this moment as Cody pumped his cock in and out of his ass
mercilessly. He thought he had seen Logan limping slightly when he and Cody
walked up the dock together earlier. Now it all made perfect
sense. Suddenly, Gill wished he had brought a camera. A picture of this
activity right here would prove his case once and for all and help him win
revenge over Cody Haynes. Gill watched for several more minutes, his own
cock growing inside his pants. He stuck his hand down inside his jeans and
rubbed his hard cock as he watched Cody Haynes fuck his little cousin
hard. Within a matter of minutes, Gill came inside his own
undershorts. Once he was finished, he took his hand out of his pants, got
down on all fours, and then crawled over to the edge of the roof. He sat
down at the edge, counted to three mentally, and then jumped off the roof
into the backyard.

----------------------------------

	Logan held onto Cody's strong arms tightly as the older boy rammed
his hot teenage cock in and out of his butthole. He kept his legs wrapped
around Cody's waist, which caused his whole body to move back and forth
with the rough and tumble motion of Cody's body as the older boy pumped his
cock in and out. Logan looked up into Cody's clenched face as the older boy
fucked him. Cody opened his eyes and smiled down at him sweetly as he
continued pumping. Logan felt as if his whole butt would split wide
open. He knew he wasn't really ready to do this again and he understood
that he would probably be limping for the rest of his life now, but he
couldn't help but want this. Ever since that first time after their dancing
on Friday night, Logan had been waiting for the opportunity to arise so
that they could do it again together.
	Cody grunted erotically as he pumped his cock in and out of Logan's
anus. Logan's breathing was short and labored, as if he was doing an
aerobic exercise. As Cody continued to thrust his cock inside Logan's butt,
he leaned down and the two boys kissed passionately, both of them enjoying
this session immensely. Cody had suggested they try this particular sex
position so that they could face each other during, allowing them the
freedom to kiss one another if they wanted and to be able to stare into
each other's eyes. Once the kiss ended, Cody picked up a little more
momentum if possible and pumped his cock in and out even harder. As Cody
fucked the younger boy in an almost animalistic fashion, he could think of
nothing else he wanted to look at other than Logan's adorable face.
	A few minutes later, Cody felt himself ready to cum. He pumped
harder and harder, causing Logan to moan in erotic pain. Both boys were
grunting as Cody's orgasm approached rapidly. All of a sudden, Cody came
powerfully inside Logan's anus, his head swung back in perfect bliss, his
moan turning into a continuous whine. Logan held his breath as Cody came
inside him. Cody yelped as his orgasm overtook his whole body. Finally, the
orgasm ended. Cody continued to pump his cock inside Logan's anus, milking
as much cum out of his cock as possible.
	Once he was finished, Cody gently removed his now deflating cock
from Logan's anus. Logan unwrapped his legs from around Cody's waist and
just continued lying on the edge of the bed, completely exhausted in every
sense of the word. Cody sat up and removed the condom from his dick. Cody
cleaned himself up with a tissue and then he cleaned Logan up as well,
wiping the excess lubricant from Logan's butt for him. Afterward, he threw
the tissues away and then lied back down on the bed next to Logan. The
younger boy cuddled up next to his boyfriend sweetly and they leaned in for
a short, sweet kiss.

	"That... was... amazing," Logan said with a smile.

	"You think so?" Cody asked.

	"Oh my god!" Logan said. "Really, I don't think amazing covers it."

	"Better or worse than last time?"

	"This time didn't last near as long, but I like the position we
just used. I like being able to kiss you while you do me."

	"Yeah, me too."

	With that, the two boys leaned in and kissed each other on the lips
once again, which was something neither of them ever tired of.

	"I swear, you're just the most beautiful boy on earth," Cody said
sweetly.

	Logan just smiled without replying. Cody reached over and gently
ran his forehand over the smooth skin of Logan's cheek, completely
infatuated with this gorgeous boy.

	"Happy birthday, Logan," Cody said. "Have you made a wish yet?"

	"It already came true," Logan said simply.

	The boys smiled at one another lovingly. Logan had never felt this
way about anyone in his whole life. He felt complete with Cody. He felt
loved. Nothing on this earth compared to that. He knew that as long as he
had Cody with him, life would always be wonderful.

Monday, August 3rd, 1998


	"You're insane!" Darlene yelled at Gill inside her bedroom.

	Gill was sitting on Darlene's bed, wearing just his plaid boxer
shorts. Darlene was pacing back and forth in front of the bed angrily and
anxiously, wearing just her black panties and black bra.

	"I can't believe you actually did that, Gill!" Darlene said
angrily. "I mean, holy fucking shit! What if you got caught?"

	"Walking around in MY grandmother's house??" Gill asked
logically. "After using the hide-a-key that MY grandmother told me about??"

	"That's not what I mean, Gill! What if Cody or Logan saw you?"

	"They didn't though! What the fuck's your problem? This is good
news for us. Now I have proof that your ex-honey and my little cock-sucking
cousin are fuck-buddies."

	"We have your word, Gill. Not proof. Besides, this whole thing is
out of control! When you brought up revenge against Cody, I thought it
would be something like revealing that he and Jesse did each other once
years ago. But this?? This would destroy Cody's life forever. He would
probably have to go to jail or something like that."

	"Good fucking riddance?? That thundercunt deserves jail for shoving
his cock up a twelve years old kid's ass."

	"Well I can't do it, Gill," Darlene said. "I can't destroy Cody's
life like that just because he broke up with me. We might be together
anymore, but he's still my best --"

	Darlene stopped talking all of a sudden, no finishing her
sentence. Gill looked up at her disapprovingly.

	"Best what..." Gill said.

	"That's not what I meant," Darlene said.

	"You still think Cody Haynes is your best friend??"

	"Gill, this whole thing is fucked up! I've only been going through
with this stupid-ass plan because you made the problems worse than they
needed to be. I've already decided I don't wanna get Cody back! He was
right about the two of us. We weren't good together in that way. I'm not
mad about the break-up anymore. So I don't understand what's gotten up your
ass that makes you think you have to still get revenge on him!"

	"So what, you spill your guts to me one night and then the next you
just change your mind? Are you really that fucking bipolar?"

	"Gill, I'm telling you. Lay off of Cody. He doesn't deserve this
shit from you."

	Suddenly, Gill stood up from the bed and walked slowly towards
Darlene. The girl was standing in front of the closet door, as still as a
rock, afraid she about to be hit. Gill walked up and stood directly in
front of her, looking down into her eyes with a solid threatening
expression draped across his face.

	"This isn't about you anymore, honeybuns," Gill said softly.

	Darlene could feel his hot breath on her forehead as he spoke. She
braced herself, ready to take whatever punch he threw at her. Gill didn't
hit her though. He simply walked away, grabbed his clothing off the floor,
and got dressed. He sat down on the side of the bed to tie his shoes. As he
tied the shoes, he looked up at Darlene with a calm expression.

	"You want out, you're done," Gill said softly. "I'll do it myself."

	"This was never about me, was it, Gill..." Darlene said more as a
statement.

	"So... you're not as naïve as I thought," Gill said as he stood up
from the bed.

	With that, Gill began to walk towards the bedroom door. Darlene
watched the older guy's face as he walked towards the door. There was a
different expression on his face now; a look that seemed calm and composed,
but was actually filled with a sort of hate Darlene had never known
before. She kept her eyes locked onto Gill's as he walked towards the
bedroom door. Suddenly, Gill stopped at the door and glanced over at her
seriously.

	"You better not be with Cody when I start huffing and puffing,"
Gill said.

	Darlene and Gill stared at one another for a few long seconds with
nothing else said between the two of them. Finally, Gill exited the room,
closing the door behind him. Darlene took a few deep breaths, her mind not
overloading with what had just taken place. Without even trying, Darlene
had completely switched sides. A few minutes before, she had had sex with
Gill. Now, they were enemies. Once she collected herself, she quickly paced
to her closet to find something to wear.


	Gill started to walk out Darlene's front door, but then stopped
when he heard the sound of video games coming from the room down the
hallway. Darlene's parents were gone. Her little brother Adam was here
playing his video games. Gill walked down the hallway and entered the ten
year old boy's bedroom. Adam was sitting on the floor in just a pair of
jean shorts and no shirt, his Nintendo 64 controller in his hands. The
young boy looked up at him with a funny expression on his face.

	"What do you want?" Adam asked rather rudely.

	Gill closed the door behind him. Afterward, he walked over and sat
down on the floor next to Adam. Without hesitation, Gill reached over and
grabbed the controller from Adam. He pressed the pause button and then
threw the controller down on the floor.

	"Hey!!!" Adam yelled. "Give me that!!"

	"Shut the fuck up," Gill said calmly, but sternly.

	The boy immediately kept quiet. Gill examined the boy for a few
seconds. He was a really cute kid. Longish dark brown hair, the same color
as his sister's. A very cute face and a sexy little body. A little young,
but Gill figured his new plan could work.

	"How would like to make a hundred bucks?"

	Now thoroughly confused, Adam glanced up at Gill questioningly.

----------------------------------

	Ruth watched as her grandson and Cody stood together against the
horse pasture fence. She was gathering eggs in the chicken coup. When she
finished, she walked out with her basketful of eggs, which were sitting on
top of a thick, red towel she had placed at the bottom of the basket. She
saw Logan and Cody off in the distance, standing next to one another
against horse pasture fence. They were standing only inches from one
another, talking amongst themselves and watching the horses. Ruth had been
noticing some strange things on this day. For one, Logan was walking with a
severe limp, which he explained to her the evening before by saying he had
fallen off the boat ladder while climbing up out of the lake and he slammed
his leg against one of the metal steps of the ladder. She could envision
that scenario, although the story itself sounded a little shady. But what
really caught her attention a little earlier that morning was when the
collar of Logan's t-shirt drooped down enough for her to see a large
lip-shaped bruise towards the bottom of his neck. Ruth was entirely
familiar with that particular mark. Her daughter Beth had come home from
dates with marks quite similar to that one when she was a teenager.
	Still holding the egg basket in front of her with both hands, Ruth
gazed at the two boys who were still standing side by side against the
fence. Their backs were towards her, so they couldn't see her. She stood
still, observing their current behavior. Her grandson was laughing and
smiling brightly. Ruth couldn't deny the spark she had caught in Logan's
eyes for the past few weeks, and particularly since this past
weekend. Whenever he was around Cody, his face was bounding with a
joyfulness she had never witnessed from the boy before. It was the same the
other way around as well. Ruth had known Cody Haynes ever since he was
born. He had always been a somewhat quiet boy, and just good-natured all
the way around. As far as Ruth was concerned, Cody was nothing more than
another grandson to her, that's how well she knew him and loved him. Cody
had always appeared to be a happy boy altogether, but now, his inherent
cheerfulness seemed to have doubled over the past few weeks, once again,
particularly since this past weekend. Ruth didn't want to think such things
about her grandson and Cody. Surely the situation was innocent. But there
were bright, dangling arrows pointing another direction though. Ruth
couldn't ignore what she had seen just within the past fifteen hours.
	She recalled walking into the house from church the evening
before. Cody was still at the house. The boys were in the living room
downstairs watching television. Cody was sitting in the recliner and Logan
was sitting on the sofa. They were watching a movie together: one of the
Indiana Jones movies. The beginning credits were still rolling, meaning
they had only started the movie a few minutes before. And Cody said they
had arrived home about an hour and a half before. What had they been doing
since they arrived home? So many things didn't add up right. Ruth took a
deep breath, deciding to try to rid herself of these thoughts. She trusted
Cody and Logan. Surely they would never do anything horrible to jeopardize
that trust. With that, she turned around, her egg basket still in hand, and
she began to walk back towards the house a little ways down the road.

----------------------------------


Wednesday, August 5th, 1998


	Logan and Ruth were sitting together on the back porch facing out
towards the lake as they ate breakfast in total silence. Logan was nibbling
at his toast pathetically. He still looked exhausted. After all, it was
only six-thirty in the morning now. Ruth thought he looked like a rabbit
while he ate. She actually wanted to scold him and demand that he eat like
a normal person. She would probably then continue on by saying that he was
so skinny just because of the way he ate. She stared at the boy with a
blank expression draped across her face. She wanted to talk to him, but she
wasn't entirely sure what to say.
	Logan caught his grandmother's stare from across the picnic
table. He looked back at her, trying to match the expression she was
using. He still had a mouthful of toast. He swallowed the toast and then
took a sip of his orange juice. His grandmother was still staring at him
weirdly. He moved his eyes from side to side awkwardly, wondering why in
the world she was staring at him like this. Logan knew this trick
though. Sophia had used it many times before with him and Jesse. Anytime
she wanted them to spill their guts to her about something wrong or
something stupid one of them had done, she would simply stare at them
blankly, as if she already knew what was going on. Finally -- it never
failed -- they would always end up revealing what they had done wrong. And
it worked every time as well! And half the time, she had never actually
known exactly what had happened anyway. It was all a horrid trick. Logan
wasn't about to fall for this though. He had nothing to reveal
though. Nothing she could have possibly known about anyway.

	"You okay, Grandma?" Logan asked.

	"Just thinking," Ruth said simply, still staring at the boy.

	Logan shifted his eyes to the left again, knowing not to look her
dead in the eyes.

	"Whatcha thinking about?" Logan asked.

	"Honey, I'm gonna ask you a question. And I want the truth from
you."

	"Okay...?"

	"Where did you get the mark on your neck?"

	"What? What mark on my neck?"

	"The mark you have on your neck, Logan. The one you're hiding by
wearing all of your t-shirts that just happen to have tighter collars?"

	Logan felt his heart ready to burst. He wasn't ready for this. How
had she seen his hickey? He had been so careful not to let it become
exposed. He sat there in silence for far too long. Finally, his grandmother
spoke up again.

	"Logan, pull you collar down and let me see that mark, please."

	"Uhmm... Grandma, I got that mark the other day. Me and Cody had
the airsoft guns out the other day while we were swimming and he
accidentally shot me in the neck. That's why it looks all swollen and
stuff."

	Ruth sat silently for a few long seconds. An airsoft gun pellet
injury... Beth had never been clever enough to come up with something as
believable as that, Ruth thought to herself. She knew Logan was lying to
her now though. She wanted to get mad. She actually wanted to yell and
scream and pitch a temper tantrum like a child would, but that was far too
out of character for her. Well, perhaps not. One time when Richard was
about thirteen years old, she had sent him to buy some new jeans for
himself at the store. She told him no to buying those hideous bell bottoms
that boys were so fond of back then. He bought them anyway and told her the
store was out of normal jeans. She knew he was lying to her then. She
happened to be cleaning the kitchen floor at that point when he
lied. Instead of handling the situation as rationally as she would now, she
grabbed the almost empty bucket of water she had been using to clean the
floors and then swung the bucket at Richard hard enough to knock him down
to the ground. She was different now though.

	"Okay, honey. Well, show me the wound," Ruth said.

	Logan sighed and then pulled the collar of his t-shirt down a
little bit, exposing the now fading hickey on his neck. Ruth was no
fool. She knew an airsoft gun pellet would never cause a mark as big and
detailed as that one. Hell, the mark even looked like purple lips tattooed
on his arm.

	"You're sure that's what happened?" Ruth asked.

	"Yes ma'am," Logan said politely.

	"Was this the same day you fell off the boat ladder and hit your
leg?"

	"The day after actually."

	"Ah. And how is your leg feeling now?"

	"Better. A lot better now."

	"Good to hear. What're you boys doing after your work?" Ruth asked.

	"Uhmm, we were talking about going to the movie theater in
Duggard," Logan explained easily. "That movie Armageddon is playing there."

	"You boys are gonna be at church tonight, right?"

	"Yes ma'am."

	"Good. Because your cousin Gill said he was coming with us to
church tonight."

	"What?? Why??"

	"Perhaps Gill wants to get right with the Lord, sweetheart," Ruth
said. "You know how much I encourage that."

	"So why do I have to be there then? It's not like I'll be able to
focus on Pastor Morrison while Gill's too busy whispering in my ear how
much of a spoiled brat I am."

	"You'll set an example for your cousin, baby. You know I have high
expectations for you. And I know you wouldn't let me down."

	Logan suddenly became silent. There was a certain chill-factor
attached to that last statement of hers. He couldn't put his finger on it,
but he knew there was something she wasn't saying, something she knew about
and wasn't revealing. Logan had a dreadful thought. What if his grandmother
had already figured out his relationship with Cody? After all, there were
nice little signs here and there to point that direction: like the airsoft
gun pellet injury (a hickey), the limp from falling off the boat ladder
(the results of two different fucking sessions with Cody), and not to
mention the fact that he came back with these two signs after a long
weekend on the houseboat with Cody, just the two of them. Logan stayed
silent, not wanting to give anything else away if possible. Perhaps she
hadn't figured enough of the situation out to come up with an affirmative
conclusion just yet. And Logan certainly wasn't going to be the one to fill
the gaps in for her.

----------------------------------

	Cody and Logan had spent the afternoon at the movies together. The
movie theater in the town of Duggard was an hour drive from Twillingate
Shore, so on their way, they discussed the possibility of Ruth's knowledge
about their relationship. They had both drawn the conclusion that if she
really thought there was something going on between them, then she wouldn't
have allowed them to go out together alone to the movies. So they relaxed
themselves a little bit, watched the movie Armageddon at the movies, and
then they stopped at a small ice cream shop in Duggard for some ice cream
cones before heading back to Twillingate Shore. Logan ordered a
chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream cone and Cody ordered a plain vanilla
cone. They sat down at a table in the far corner of the ice cream shop, far
enough away from the rest of the people inside.

	"That movie was pretty freakin' awesome, huh?" Cody said.

	"I label that as my new favorite officially," Logan said. "It was
greatness!"

	"The ending was sad though. It sucked that Bruce Willis had to die
like that."

	"But he was a world hero for it though. He actually saved the
world. If I had to die in a non-peaceful way, that's how I'd wanna go."

	"By being blown to smithereens on a meteor?"

	"Saving lives," Logan said simply. "If I have to die of something
besides old age, I wanna die saving someone. Like from a fire or something
like that."

	"That's quite a heroic soul you have there, Logan," Cody said.

	"Well, wouldn't you wanna do that?"

	"You know, I think I would too. If I have to die early, I think
it'd be good to go while saving someone else at the same time."

	With that, the boys continued to eat their ice cream. Logan started
talking again, knowing that he was now harping on this subject too much.

	"Are you sure my grandma doesn't know anything?" Logan asked.

	"Logan, we've already talked about this," Cody said. "I thought we
agreed that she wouldn't've let us hang out alone together today if she
knew."

	"But she made me show her my hickey though. I think she knew I was
lying about how I got it too."

	"Not a bad lie for being right on the spot, I must say. I think I
probably would've said something like `Duh, I got it while scratching my
neck too hard.'"

	"Yeah, you would say something like that," Logan said jokingly.

	"Shut up, you little weasel."

	Logan chuckled sweetly.

	"Don't worry so much about it, Logan," Cody said. "We'll just play
it really safe the next few days and see how things go, okay?"

	"Okay. That sounds good. I'm just... worried... is all. I just wish
we could go back to last weekend and live there forever."

	"Yeah, me too," Cody said.

	The boys smiled at one another sweetly. Without saying another
word, the boys continued eating their ice cream cones in silence. Once they
were finished with their ice cream, they left the ice cream shop and
climbed back into Cody's truck. They made the hour drive back to
Twillingate Shore in almost complete silence. Most of the drive home, Logan
had his hand poking out the window, letting the air flow over his hand at
sixty miles an hour. When they arrived back at Ruth Henderson's house, they
saw that Gill's motorcycle was already in the gravel driveway right next to
his grandmother's car. Logan cursed his luck under his breath when he saw
Gill's motorcycle. He was not in the best of moods at this point and he
certainly didn't want to deal with his older cousin.

	"Damn it," Logan said. "I so don't wanna see Gill right now. That
guy just bugs me."

	"You think he bugs you..." Cody said more as a statement.

	"What do you mean?" Logan asked.

	"Oh nothing," Cody said simply. "I just know Gill too well for my
own good, I guess."

	"What'd he do to you?"

	"I'll tell you someday. Now's not a good time to bring that shit up
though. Believe me. Anyway, I need to get going. I still have to get
showered and dressed before church."

	"Okay. Thank you for taking me to the movies. It was a nice date."

	Cody smiled sweetly at the younger boy.

	"Yeah, it was nice, huh?"

	Logan nodded. With that, they said their goodbyes and then Logan
got out of the truck. As soon as he made it to the front door, Cody turned
his truck around and took off down Henderson Road. This was very
strange. Usually, Cody would have at least walked inside to say hello to
Ruth, but he didn't do that this time. Logan shrugged and then walked
inside the house.

----------------------------------

	Logan, Ruth, and Gill arrived at the church about an hour before
the church sermon was to begin, which was a ritual for every other
Wednesday evening due to choir practice, which Ruth, Jack, and Linda were
all involved with. Cody showed up early as well, which he had started doing
on these Wednesday nights so Logan wouldn't be left to sit by himself
waiting for choir practice to end and the sermon to begin. Darlene's
parents were in the choir too, so Darlene and her little brother Adam were
also at the church. Adam was outside playing with a few of the other kids
of some of the church members. Darlene was hanging out in the nursery with
a few of her friends. Cody, Logan, and Gill were all sitting outside on the
front porch of the small church. They could hear the choir singing
inside. The level of pure awkwardness was at an all-time high. Cody and
Gill hadn't said a word to one another. In fact, no one really spoke at
all.

	"Uh, I'll be right back," Cody said. "I'm gonna go answer a call of
nature."

	"Okay," Logan said simply.

	With that, Cody stood up and headed inside the church towards the
bathroom. Once Cody was inside, Gill looked over at Adam, who was playing a
game of tag with his friends. Adam caught his stare a few seconds
later. With that, Gill nodded his head twice and placed his index finger on
the lobe of his left ear, which was the signal he and Adam had agreed on
since they wouldn't have an established time. Adam nodded his head twice in
response, saying nonverbally that he'd execute their plan somehow. Inside
the building, before heading into the bathroom, Cody took a sip of water
from the nearby water fountain closest to the bathroom. The choir was
singing very loudly. As he took a drink, Darlene walked out of the girls'
restroom. Cody stood up away from the water fountain and swallowed the
mouthful of water a bit too quickly for his own good. The large swallow
hurt his throat for a few seconds. He and his ex-girlfriend stared into
each other's eyes awkwardly for a few seconds. All of a sudden though,
Darlene allowed a slight grin to creep across her lips.

	"Hey Cody," Darlene said calmly.

	"Hi!" Cody said. "How're you doing?"

	"Fair enough, I guess," Darlene said. "How've you been?"

	"Good. Very good, I guess."

	"Cool."

	The two of them stood in silence for a few seconds. Adam walked in
and hid behind the corner quietly, waiting for Darlene to leave. Suddenly,
Darlene said something out of the blue that startled Cody to no end.

	"Cody, I want you to know that I understand why you broke up with
me," Darlene said earnestly. "And I really think it's for the best as
well."

	"Really??"

	"Yeah. I mean, I was pissed as hell for a while there, but you
know, I had some time to think it over and... well, I changed my mind on
how I thought about the whole thing."

	"Oh. Well, I'm glad you could see it too. Darlene, I don't want us
to lose our friendship over this, you know? I mean, we were like two peas
and a pod before we started dating. I don't want us to lose that."

	"I don't either, Cody. You know, you've always been like a brother
to me."

	"Hey, you wanna go get something to eat sometime this week? We can
talk about this a little more then if you want."

	"Sure. I'll give you a call."

	"Great. I'll talk to you later."

	With that, Darlene waved slightly and then headed out of the room
towards the nursery to join the rest of her friends again. Once Darlene was
out of sight, Cody turned around and walked into the bathroom alone. Adam
stood at the corner, waiting for the right time to make his move. He knew
what he was about to do was risky. He knew that it might not even work. But
Gill promised him he'd receive the one hundred dollars no matter what
happened. Adam had had to be convinced to go through with something like
this, but in the end, the prospect of getting a hundred dollars ruled out
everything else. Adam prepared himself earlier for what was about to take
place. He knew he'd have to be as authentic as possible. As long as it
worked, everything else would work itself out. About a minute later, Adam
heard the toilet flush from inside the boys' bathroom. He decided that
would be his queue. With that, he paced towards the bathroom.


	Cody was washing his hands in the bathroom sink when ten year old
Adam Chase barged into the bathroom quickly, breathing hard and holding his
crotch desperately through the material of his blue jeans. Adam looked as
if he was about to cry.

	"Adam, what's wrong!?" Cody asked as he quickly dried his hands
with paper towels.

	"Oh my god, my thing!" Adam almost yelled as he held his crotch
firmly through his jeans. "It hurts! It hurts so bad!"

	"What??"

	"My thing, Cody! It burns! It feels like it's on fire!"

	"Did someone hit you there??"

	"No! But it burns for some reason!"

	All of a sudden, Adam loosened his belt, unfastened his jeans, and
then pushed them down to his knees. He raised his shirt up, revealing his
small, white BVD briefs to Cody. Without hesitation, the very young boy
hooked his thumbs into the waistband of his white briefs and then pushed
them down to his knees as well. He raised his shirt back up, revealing his
tiny boyhood to Cody.

	"Cody, please! Can you look at it and see if there's something
wrong?"

	"What??" Cody asked, still shocked that the boy ran in here and
simply pulled his pants down in front of him. Cody figured it must hurt
really bad for him to do that.

	"Please, Cody, just look at it! I can't really tell if there's
anything wrong, but it hurts really, really bad!"

	"Okay, okay, just try to calm down a little bit. I'll look at
it. Just take deep breaths."

	With that, Cody walked over and got down on his knees in front of
the ten year old boy who had his pants down, his petite penis dangling
between his small legs. Adam took a few deep breaths, just as Cody had
instructed him to do. Cody looked square at the young boy's penis, trying
to figure out what could be wrong with it. Nothing seemed to look out of
the ordinary.

	"I don't see anything wrong with it, Adam," Cody said simply. "It
looks normal. Where does it hurt?"

	"It hurts in the pole my pee comes out of," Adam said with a
whimper. "Can you look at it harder? I know something's wrong with it!"


	From outside, Gill watched through the glass doors as Adam paced
around the corner towards the bathroom to execute the plan. This was where
things would either work out very well or not at all. Once Gill was sure
that Adam had already had enough time to start moving the plan into action,
he spoke up.

	"Kid, I think I left my keys in the bathroom earlier," Gill said to
Logan. "Go get them for me, would you?"

	"Go get them yourself," Logan said hatefully.

	"Go get my fucking keys from the bathroom now, or I'll rip your
hair right out of your fucking head, you got it!?" Gill exclaimed.

	"Alright, fine," Logan said. "I'll go get your keys for you. And
when I come back with them, I'll tell you to go fuck yourself."

	Logan stood up on the porch and then headed inside the building.

	"I don't think there'll be a need for that," Gill said to himself.


	Cody had one hand propped underneath Adam's prepubescent testicles
while he had the young boy's piss slit pried open using the thumb and index
finger of his other hand. He bent down closely, looking directly into the
boy's piss slit, trying to see if there was any redness or any kind of
swelling whatsoever. It was obvious the boy was in a lot of pain. Perhaps
it was something he drank earlier that was irritating his penis from the
inside? Cody just wasn't seeing anything abnormal on Adam's penis though.
	Logan walked over to the boys' bathroom, still pissed off that Gill
had threatened him into retrieving his keys for him like a big, dumb
dog. Logan cursed Gill's name under his breath as he reached the door
handle of the boys' bathroom. He turned the knob and then opened the door
widely. As soon as he opened the door, his jaw dropped as far as it could
go. Just in front of him, he saw Cody on his knees in front of Adam Chase
who's pants and underwear were around his knees. Cody had his hands on the
young boy's penis, looking as if he was about to take it into his mouth.

	"Oh my god!" Logan called out.

	Cody's head jerked around in surprise and he looked over at Logan
from where he stood on his knees in front of a practically naked Adam
Chase. Logan stared down into Cody's surprised eyes, his mouth still
hanging open in utter shock. Cody stood on his knees with his own mouth
hanging open, staring into the younger boy's eyes, knowing exactly what
Logan was thinking now. Adam stood still with his jeans and white briefs
around his knees, his testicles still being cupped by Cody's hand, letting
whatever happened happen. He was sure he would fully earn that one hundred
bucks now.

Preview of Chapter Ten:

	"Logan, please, just stop so we can talk!" Cody said.

	Suddenly, Logan stopped dead in his tracks, almost causing Cody to
run into him. Logan turned around to face Cody. His face was wet with tears
and red with fury.

	"You know what!? Fuck you!!!" Logan yelled. "That's all I have to
say to you now! Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you!!"

---------------------------

	Logan stayed quiet, his heart now pounding a mile a minute. How did
Gill know about him and Cody? There was no way Gill could have known. He
hadn't said anything about it to Gill before.

	"What, you have nothing to say now?" Gill asked.

	"Gill... look, I don't know what kind of shit you're trying to pull
here, and frankly, I don't give a rat's ass what it is. What I do care
about though is that you stay away from me and that you stay away from
Cody."

	"You're just mad because Cody told me everything."

	"Everything... everything about what?"

	"Hey, there's no need to be ashamed here, little cuz. Look, I'm not
saying that what you did with Cody was bad or anything. I mean, you can't
help who you fall in love with, right? It's happened to all of us before."

	"Cody told you about us?" Logan asked seriously.

---------------------------

	"I'm not doing anything for you, Gill," Logan said. "Go home."

	Logan tried to walk away again, but Gill clutched the boy's arm
even tighter and forced the boy to turn around and face him again.

	"Let go of me!" Logan yelled through gritted teeth as he struggled
to break away from Gill's tight grasp.

	Suddenly, Logan felt a forceful hand slap his face hard. With the
impact of the slap, Logan's whole head turned around swiftly. His mouth
hung open, the whole left side of his face now stinging sharply. Logan
turned his head around and looked up to face Gill.

	"Like I said -- you're not breaking the fucking deal!" Gill said
demandingly.
