The Keys to the Kingdom
Chapter 4: Discoveries

It's amazing how two years can fly by in the blink of an eye.  It seems
like just yesterday that first Nicky, then Ethan, joined our family.  Since
then we've celebrated birthdays and holidays but my favorite memory so far
has to be the day we went to court with Nicky Quinn and Ethan Wallace and
returned home with Nicky and Ethan Clark.  We were able to adopt both boys
the first summer we had them and they'd chosen to take my last name.  The
boys wanted to honor Cam as well so they each adopted his last name,
Tucker, as their middle name.

This last month has been particularly busy for us.  First, Nicky and Ethan
turned 12 and 14 respectively.  Nicky's birthday falls on May 2 and Ethan's
on May 5, we took the boy's out to dinner on each special day but we had
the joint birthday celebration that weekend.  It's become something of an
annual tradition; we celebrate the boy's birthdays and the start of summer
break with a pool party.  The boy's invite their friends, the family and
some of my colleagues are there and it's a good time for everyone.

This year's start of summer bash marked an ending for me as well as a
beginning.  I have decided to leave my position at Yale and take up the
reigns as headmaster of the prestigious Bartlett Academy, up in
Wallingford.  I had heard about the job from a friend and submitted my
resume on a whim. I was decades younger then the retiring headmaster and so
far all of my experience in education had been in teaching, not
administration, but it couldn't hurt to apply.  To my surprise, I was
called for an interview, then a second interview and finally, I was offered
the job.

This job would mean changes for all of us.  Running a boarding school is
different than being the principal at a regular high school.  For starters,
in addition to overseeing the teachers and students, I would be responsible
for making recruiting trips around the country.  I'd also have to meet
regularly with senior administrators from Ivy League universities because
Bartlett feed many of its graduating students into that system and it was
important we have a strong relationship with them.  I would be the
caretaker of the schools endowment which provided for the longevity of the
school as well as scholarships for students.  I was particularly nervous
about this function as I am no financial expert, fortunately the endowment
is managed by professionals and my main role will be to meet with wealthy
alums to secure large contributions.

There were also many perks in addition to the fantastic salary and benefits
I'd receive.  Each of my boys would be able to attend Bartlett and the
education they received there would help them get into top colleges.  The
boy's tuition was included in my benefits package and at nearly $40,000 per
year, each; that was a substantial plus.  The job also came with a home on
campus.  The headmaster's house is more like a small mansion then a house.
It's more than double the size of our house and there will be plenty of
room for each of us.  The boy's are a little nervous about the move to
Wallingford but its only 20 miles from New Haven and we've promised to help
them maintain the friendships they've built since we took them in.  This is
particularly important to Nicky and Josh, who have become very close
friends.

It will be nice having a bigger home because my brother's son, Jack, will
be living with us while he finishes high school.  My brother Brian has just
been promoted to Colonel in the Air Force and is being transferred to
Germany.  He and his wife, Whitney, didn't feel it was fair to make Jack
spend the rest of his high school days in a foreign country and after much
discussion, it was decided he'd stay with us.  Jack's 16 now and he'll also
get the benefit of a Bartlett education when I take up my new position.

School may be out for the boys but I'm still spending most of my day's at
the office getting things in order for my replacement.  In a few day's I'll
turn in my keys and bid goodbye to Yale and then I'll have to start gearing
up for the new job.  Jack will arrive this weekend and we'll be moving in
June.  There is a lot to do but as I lay here in bed listening to the
thunder of a late May storm, I'm filled with hope.

The boys have grown a lot in the past two years and the urges that come
with growing made it harder for Ethan to sleep then the rain pounding his
window.  As with most boys, his age his thoughts had turned to sex as he
tossed and turned.  Ethan had finally decided he was gay, in some ways he'd
always known and he accepted it, he wasn't out but that was simply because
he didn't feel like it was anyone's business.  He'd never had a sexual
thought about a girl; it was always boys on his track team or from his
classes or more recently, Nicky.

Nicky and Ethan had grown very close over the last two years, but at 12
years old, Ethan's impish little brother was growing into a handsome young
man and it affected Ethan greatly.  Lately, when he would masturbate, his
thoughts would turn to Nicky and Ethan felt terrible pangs of guilt.  You
weren't supposed to lust after your little brother, adopted or not, family
is family.

As Ethan was wrestling with his thoughts his door creaked open and Nicky
walked up to his bed.

"The thunder woke me up," Nicky said in a small voice.

Ethan wasn't surprised to see him, Nicky never slept well during a
thunderstorm and had often shared Ethan's bed over the last two years on
nights like this.  Ethan didn't answer Nicky, he just moved over and pulled
back the blanket so he could climb in.  Soon the boys were spooned together
and Ethan wrapped his arms around Nicky's waist.  Neither boy was wearing a
shirt and the feel of Nicky's soft skin against his own made Ethan tingle
with electricity.

It didn't take long for Nicky to fall asleep, he felt safe and secure in
his big brothers arms.  Ethan found himself taking in the soft sent of
Nicky's freshly washed hair while his fingers gently rubbed the smooth skin
stretched over Nicky's taut belly.  His hands moved lower and he felt his
fingers brushing against the waistband of the gym shorts Nicky had worn to
bed.  Ethan's mind was racing, he was eager to continue his exploration of
the younger boy's body but part of him was screaming this is wrong.  In the
end, lust won out and he slipped his hand into Nicky's shorts.  He gently
cupped Nicky's balls through the tight cotton of his briefs then massaged
the small lump that was his cock.  Though sound asleep, Nicky's body was
responding to the erotic touching and his cock began to stiffen.  Soon
Nicky had a full hardon in his undies and Ethan rubbed it affectionately.

Suddenly Nicky twitched in his sleep and Ethan yanked his hand out of the
boy's shorts least he be discovered.  Ethan's heart was racing, he felt
he'd gone too far.  In the final analysis love won out over lust.  As much
as Ethan lusted for Nicky's supple young body he loved him more.  Ethan had
deep feelings for his little brother and he would never do anything to hurt
him or scare him, even if that meant denying his carnal urges.  Eventually
Ethan fell asleep just as sexually frustrated as he'd been before Nicky had
climbed into bed with him.

The rest of the week passed by normally.  At 12 and 14 years old we trusted
Nicky and Ethan to be home alone while Cam and I were at work.  Nicky was
allowed to hang out over at Josh's house but he wasn't allowed to go
anywhere else without checking in with Ethan first.  The boys could have
friends over at our house but the pool was strictly off limits unless Cam
or I were home.

Occasionally, Ethan would go over to one of his friend's houses but for the
most part he stayed at home with his books and cello.  He'd spend hours
lost in the pages of his reading, tinkering with his instrument or looking
after Nicky.

As I explained school was out for me as well but since I'd be leaving Yale
I had a lot of loose ends to tie up.  Ethan looked at his watch and
realized I wouldn't be home for at least an hour, Cam probably wouldn't be
home until after me and Nicky was down the street at Josh's.  He headed up
to his room, hopped on to his computer, pulled down his shorts and tucked
his underwear under his balls.  He began surfing the net for some of the
pictures and stories he liked to read when he was horny and began jacking
off.

Ethan was so engrossed in his jacking that he hadn't heard Nicky come in
the front door.  Nicky didn't see Ethan in his usual spots, curled up on
the couch with a book or sitting in the family room with his cello, so he
made his way up to his brother's room.  Nicky walked in the door and
startled Ethan who scrambled to pull his shorts up but in the confusion
wasn't able to do much more then cover himself with his hands.

"Get out, get out and close the door," Ethan shouted.

But Nicky didn't move, he was to curious about what he'd seen to just walk
away.

"What were you doing, were you jerking off?" Nicky asked.

"What would you know about it?" Ethan shot back.

"I know about jerking off, hello I am a guy you know?" Nicky joked.

"You mean you do it to?" Ethan asked.

"Duh," was Nicky's reply.

Ethan didn't know why he hadn't considered that before, he'd started
pleasuring himself when he was about 11, why shouldn't Nicky be doing it at
12?

"Have you ever done it with someone else?" Ethan asked.

"One time at Josh's.  I spent the night at his house with some of the guys
when he had his 12th birthday and we all jerked off to see who could shoot
and who couldn't," Nicky explained.

Ethan was shocked, he couldn't believe how casually Nicky was talking to
him about this and his cock began to harden again reminding him that he
still had it out.

"Hehehe, you're getting hard again," Nicky giggled.

Ethan redoubled his efforts to hide himself but didn't put it away.

"Have you ever done it with someone else, I mean had someone else touch
it?" Ethan asked.

"Nope, why would I do that?" Nicky asked in return.

"It feels good," said Ethan.

"Really, you've tried it?" Nicky asked curiously.

"No, but I've read about it enough, it's supposed to be better than doing
it to yourself," Ethan answered.

"Hmmm," Nicky pondered, "do you want to try it?"

"I don't know, do you?" Ethan asked.

"I will if you will," said Nicky.

"Ok," Ethan agreed.

"Ok," said Nicky.

They were quiet for a moment each looking at each other for a sign of some
sort.  Finally Nicky broke the silence.

"So, what do we do?"

Ethan thought for a moment before answering.

"Come here," Ethan instructed.

Nicky walked over and stood between Ethan's legs.  Ethan reached out
nervously and grabbed a hold of Nicky's belt.

"Are you sure about this?" he asked.

"Yeah, I wanna try it," Nicky answered.

Ethan opened Nicky's belt, then his top button and slowly pulled down his
zipper.  Nicky's shorts puddled around his feet and he stood there in his
tee shirt and tight white briefs.  Ethan took a moment to take in the
sight; he loved how Nicky's athletic young body looked in his little cotton
underwear.

"Close your eyes," Ethan instructed.

Once Nicky complied Ethan placed his hands on the boys hips then started to
touch him all over.  His hands quickly found Nicky's firm little butt and
he kneaded it softly.

"Why are you rubbing my butt when my thing is up front?" Nicky asked,
keeping his eyes closed.

"It feels good, doesn't it?" Ethan blushed.

Nicky didn't answer he just let out a little moan.  It did feel good and he
could feel himself getting hard.  Ethan moved his hands around front and
started to rub Nicky's balls eliciting another moan from the younger boy.
Nicky's cock was at full mast when Ethan hooked his thumbs in the waistband
of his briefs and pulled them down around his knees.  It was pretty big for
a 12 year old, thought Ethan, as he reached out and wrapped his fingers
around Nicky's 4 inch boner.  He stroked the cute circumcised penis gently
and was rewarded with more moans from Nicky.

"I wanna touch yours to," Nicky moaned in a breathy voice.

Ethan turned Nicky around and pulled him onto his lap.  He reached around
Nicky and resumed his stroking but this new position allowed Nicky to reach
down and stroke Ethan as well.  Ethan enjoyed Nicky's touch almost as much
as Nicky had enjoyed his.  Soon the boy's were working vigorously to bring
each other off.  It didn't take long before the boys were shooting their
seed into each other's hands.  Ethan had shot quite a bit more then Nicky
but Nicky was proud that he was able to do it at all, some of his friends
still had dry orgasms he knew.

Ethan slumped back in his chair and Nicky slumped back against Ethan.  Both
boys needed a moment to recover from their little adventure.

"That felt so good," Nicky said when he'd recovered a bit.

"You wanna do it again some time?" Ethan asked.

"Can we?" Nicky asked excitedly.

"Sure, if you want," Ethan responded coyly.

"Awesome," said Nicky.

"We probably shouldn't let dad and daddy find out about this though," Ethan
admonished.

"Do you think they'd be mad?" Nicky asked nervously.

"I don't know if they would be mad," Ethan answered honestly, "this just
seems like the kind of thing that should be private between the two of us."

"Ok, that makes sense," Nicky agreed.

"Cool, let's go downstairs, daddy will be home soon," Ethan instructed.

The boys pulled up their shorts and underwear and made their way to the
couch.  When I got home they were watching a movie on TV.  Cam and I were
none the wiser as we took the boys out to dinner that night.

The boys were still asleep when Cam and I left for work the next morning.
It was summer so they would sleep in and get their own breakfast when they
woke up.  Shortly after I left, Nicky got up and wondered into Ethan's
room.

Ethan was just waking up when Nicky walked over to him, they traded glances
and then Ethan reached over and pulled Nicky's shorts down.  Nicky laughed
and jumped on top of Ethan in just his tighty whities.

"So what do you want to do today?" Nicky asked with a grin.

Ethan didn't answer, he craned his neck up and kissed Nicky on the lips
then tried to part them with his tongue.  Nicky resisted and quickly pulled
away.

"What were you doing?" Nicky asked with a scrunched up face.

"I was trying to give you a French kiss, dork," Ethan replied.

"Oh, I thought you were trying to lick my mouth," said Nicky.

"Well kind of," Ethan explained, "that's sort of what a French kiss is, you
stick your tongue in each other's mouths and rub them together, like this."

Ethan moved in to kiss Nicky again, he was reluctant at first but the
pressure on his lips felt good so he opened his mouth and invited Ethan's
tongue inside.  He wasn't sure what to do with it at first so he just let
Ethan lap at his mouth, then he remembered what he'd been told and started
to rub his tongue against Ethan's.  That's when it started to feel good and
Nicky began to get hard, he could already feel Ethan's erection poking him
in the belly.

"So, what did you think?" Ethan asked when he came up for air.

"I didn't like it at first but once I started rubbing your tongue with mine
it felt good," Nicky admitted.

"You want to do it some more?" Ethan asked hopefully.

Nicky pressed his lips against Ethan's and parted his lips again to accept
his brothers invading tongue.  The kissing was a little sloppy with both
boys' being amateurs but they didn't care; their tongues were fighting for
dominance as they panted for breath.  Ethan ran his hands up and down
Nicky's back then rested them on his firm little butt. He massaged the firm
globes and felt Nicky press his hard cock into his stomach.

The boys moved so that they could keep kissing but now their crotches where
grinding together, their firm erections separated only by the thin fabric
of their underwear.  Ethan still massaged Nicky's butt while the younger
boy dry humped against him.  Though he hadn't been enthusiastic about it at
first, Nicky was now sucking Ethan's tongue like a greedy little piglet at
its mother's teat.

Ethan was in heaven.  He'd wanted this for months.  He'd stolen so many
glances at Nicky out in the pool or changing.  He admired his firm athletic
body and now here he was with Nicky grinding between his legs, his tongue
in his mouth and moments away from another mind blowing orgasm.  Nicky's
mind was a blur, all he could think about was thrusting his cock against
Ethan, he didn't know what was propelling him on but he humped harder and
harder feeling more turned on with each thrust.  Suddenly his body went
rigid; he dropped Ethan's tongue from his mouth and felt his cock spray the
inside of his underwear with his boy juice.

He rolled off of Ethan panting for breath.

"Aw man, my underwear is all wet," Nicky whined after coming down from his
sexual high.

Ethan hadn't cum yet and was still hungry for Nicky's body.

"Nicky, would you let me try something on you?" Ethan asked hopefully.

"I don't know, depends on what it is I guess," Nicky replied.

"It's kind of hard to explain, but if you let me try it and you don't like
it I'll stop and we won't do it again," Ethan offered.

"Well, everything we've done so far has been pretty cool.  Ok, but if I say
stop then stop," Nicky agreed.

"You got it," Ethan happily replied.

Ethan positioned himself on top of Nicky this time and moved in to kiss him
again.  When their lips parted Nicky was all smiles.

"I still like that part," Nicky grinned.

Ethan grinned back at him, hoping he'd enjoy what else he had planned.  He
kissed Nicky's neck then moved down his body, kissed his chest then swirled
his tongue around his pert little nipples.  Nicky had never felt anything
like that before and moaned softly as Ethan nibbled his little nubs.

Ethan moved down lower, tracing the center of Nicky's torso with his
tongue.  He let it dip into Nicky's belly button and he sucked and nibbled
its perimeter.  Ethan found himself face to face with Nicky's firm erection
still in his underwear.  Nicky looked down in anticipation wondering what
Ethan would do next.

Ethan kissed the huge wet spot Nick had made when he came in his pants.
The contact sent shivers up Nicky's spine.  Ethan lapped at the damp
underwear getting his first taste of Nicky's filling.  Ethan pulled Nicky's
undies down and looked at his cute hard cock.  He stuck his tongue out and
slowly brought it into contact with the pink head.  If Nicky hadn't cum
just moments before he probably would have then, he'd never felt anything
so good in his life.  Ethan licked the head all over then licked up and
down the 4 inch shaft while Nicky shivered in delight.  Finally he wrapped
his lips around the head and started to suck the shaft into his mouth; that
was all it took to drive Nicky over the edge and shoot another load down
Ethan's throat.

Both boys were panting for breath as Ethan moved up to lie next to Nicky.
When they calmed down Ethan asked Nicky what he had thought about his first
blow job.

"That was AMAZING," Nicky exclaimed.

"I'm glad you liked it," Ethan smiled.

"Liked it, liked it," Nicky repeated, "like isn't the right word, that was
just so awesome."

That's how they spent the rest of their day, using each other like a new
found toy.  Ethan sucked Nicky a couple more times and Nicky happily jerked
Ethan off, as much as he enjoyed being sucked on he wasn't quite ready to
return the favor yet.  At about 4:00pm the boys decided to have another go.
Nicky was sitting in Ethan's chair and Ethan was on his knees happily
sucking his cock.

Today was my last day at Yale and it was bittersweet.  I was happy to be
going on to my new position but I would miss my students and colleagues.
We had a little going away party in the department chairman's office but
all too soon my friends were wishing me well and I was headed out to the
car.  It was only about 4:00 when I got home so at least I'd be able to
spend some time with the boys before dinner, I thought to myself.

When I walked in the door I was a little surprised not to find them waiting
for me but I figured Nicky had probably gone to Josh's.  I went into the
kitchen to grab a bottle of water and checked the fridge door; Ethan always
leaves a note if he leaves the house and doesn't plan on being back before
I get home.  When I didn't find a note I assumed he was up in his room so I
thought I'd head up and ask him if he wanted to go swimming or out for a
run before we ate.

I should have knocked.  I don't know why I didn't but I regretted it the
moment I walked in the room.  I was stunned to find my boys naked with
Ethan on his knees before Nicky.  My mouth flopped open like a fish gasping
for breath, I couldn't find my words.  The boys were equally shocked.
Ethan's eyes were about to pop out of his head and Nicky's lower lip began
to quiver.

"Uh, uh, uh," I sputtered like an idiot.

"Daddy," Ethan began, "we can explain, we were just..."

I stopped him before he could finish.

"There's nothing to explain, I saw what you were doing."

Both boys looked terrified.  I was still shocked by what I'd walked in on
but I had to say something to reassure the boys, I didn't want them to
panic and do something stupid out of fear.

"Look boys, I'm not mad," I began, "I'm not mad but this is something we're
going to have to talk about."

"We were just..." Ethan tried to speak again.

"Not now son, we'll talk about it after dinner when dad gets home," I
informed him, "for now why don't you boys get dressed and I'll go start
dinner."

I left the room with my mind reeling.  I meant it when I said I wasn't mad.
I knew boys experimented with each other; that it wasn't uncommon for
brothers to even fool around a bit.  It was just an image I was having
trouble adjusting to and the thought that my little boys weren't little
boys anymore.  When I got to the kitchen I started going through the
motions of preparing dinner when Nicky came in.  He wouldn't look at me at
first but then he came over and wrapped his arms tightly around my
waist. He had tears streaming down his face and was sobbing profusely.

"I'm sorry daddy, I'm sorry.  Please, please, please, don't send us away,
please," he begged.

I wrapped my arms tightly around him.

"Hey, who said anything about sending you away?" I said soothingly

"I just thought you'd be mad at what we did and not want us anymore," Nicky
said between sobs.

I rocked him back and forth in my arms until he calmed down.

"Nicky when we adopted you that was forever," I explained, "there is
nothing you could ever do that would make us not love you and not want
you."

"You mean that?" he asked hopefully.

"Of course I mean it, we love you," I told him, "I'm not even mad, I know
boys your age sometimes experiment with each other, I was just shocked to
walk in on it."

"Really," he asked, "so we're not freaks or weirdos?"

"No sweetie, you're not a freak or a weirdo," I smiled, "maybe just a
horn-dog."

Nicky chuckled at that.

"So you really won't send me away?" Nicky asked one last time, just to make
sure.

"I promise Nicky, you're mine forever," I said, hugging him tight.

"Does that go for me too?" Ethan sniffled, peaking from around the corner.

"You bet it does, come here."

Ethan joined us and I hugged both boys tightly.  They were still upset and
relieved all at the same time.  I held them as they worked out the last of
the tears and reassured them that everything would be alright.  Cam walked
in and found me holding the boys in the kitchen.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" he asked, concerned.

"Everything is ok, we just need to have a little family discussion after
dinner," I responded.

The boys walked over and gave Cam a tight embrace and then we sent them
upstairs to clean up for dinner.  Once they'd left the room I explained to
him what I'd walked in on when I'd come home.  Like me he wasn't angry,
just surprised.  We talked about how we should handle the situation and
then waited for the boys to come down to dinner.

Our first concern was that both boys had mutually decided to engage in the
sexual experimentation that had taken place.  We didn't think that Ethan
would manipulate Nicky into getting what he wanted, but Nicky had a slight
case of hero worship when it came to his brother and we wanted to make sure
he wasn't just doing this because Ethan wanted to.  Both boys's assured us
that they were equally interested in what they had done and no one had been
pressured to do something he didn't want to do.

"We accept that you boys are growing up and that boys your age have urges,"
I began, "we don't mind you experimenting with each other but there has to
be some ground rules."

"First off, no one ever gets forced to do something he doesn't want to do,"
Cam stated.

"But we didn't force each other," Ethan blurted out.

"We know," I explained, "but you're both at a tender age where your
hormones can get the best of you and we want to make sure that any further
experimentation is something you both agree to."

"Secondly," Cam continued, "keep this in your rooms.  Your cousin Jack gets
here this weekend and unless you want him to know what you're up to this
needs to stay behind closed doors.  I'll put locks on your doors tomorrow
so you can have a little privacy."

There was no objection to that.  I don't think the boys were crazy about
the idea of Jack finding out what they were up to.

"Lastly," Cam went on, "we don't want this becoming your new hobby.  You
can experiment with each other but we don't want you spending all of your
time having sex.  There is a time and place for the things you're doing but
just remember you have other interests, friends, hobbies and such that you
can't neglect."

The boys agreed to our rules and thanked us for our understanding.  Once
our discussion was over they seemed eager to change the subject.  I think
they were still a little embarrassed that I'd actually seen what they had
been up to.
