Seth’s story
I loved Thanksgiving, and this was the best one yet. I sat the table surrounded by my family with Zach sitting next to me. My village expanded by one when I introduced him to them. There he was laughing, joking, getting shit from everyone, and giving it back like he was one of us. He WAS one of us.
The room was loud as we all ate the incredible feast we had prepared together and caught up. Most of the guys saw each other regularly, but I hadn’t seen any of them since August and my heart was full. Less than three years ago when I came to live with Brad and Scotty, I could never have even imagined this world, but now it was the world I had come to known as home, and I missed the hell out of it for the last three months while I was off building my own life at college.
Everyone got up and started clearing the table as we finished dinner. As the others started piling up the dirty dishes Eli, Brian, Zach, and I set up camp in front of the sink and started washing them. Zach and Eli were having some argument about football while Brian caught me up on his classes, his roommates and the latest with his girlfriend (who went home to Tucson for Thanksgiving). Quietly Brian said “I really like him, Seth” giving me his approval of Zach, “I think everyone else does too. What about you, do you really like him?” He asked with a grin knowing the answer.
I just smiled ear-to-ear as I tended to do when the subject of Zach came up “I brought him here and threw him to the wolves. I must really like the guy.”
“Well, it looks like he survived so far” Brian said. “So, what’s up with Cam? You started to tell us this morning before we left the house.”
The smile left my face, something about Cam was off and it was upsetting me “I just saw him briefly this morning. Something’s up and I’m worried about the guy.” I said with genuine concern. I had been thinking about him all day.
Brain moved his eyes from the sink to my face and asked “What do you mean? Is he jealous of Zach?”
“No, nothing like that. Cam and I are just friends. But he hardly ever answers my calls or texts. Last time we talked he told me he hates school, his roommate is ‘mean’, and he only has one friend” I said.
“Cam? Mr. perma-smile who talks to everyone? That doesn’t sound like him.” Brian said sharing my concern.
“And he’s gained like twenty-five pounds, I mean it looks good on the skinny little guy, but still. I’m worried about him and I’m not sure what to do.” I said as Eli and Zach got louder behind us.
“Sounds like depression” Brian said as he stopped washing the dishes for a moment and wiped his hands dry with the dishtowel.
“So, what the hell do I do?” I said with a noticeably increased volume to my voice. Eli and Zach stopped their conversation and started to listen in our ours.
“Start a conversation and convince him to get some help” Brian said. “It sounds like he may not have anyone to talk to about it.” Brian was in his senior year of college and majoring in psychology.
“Who are you guys talking about?” Eli asked. Brian just answered ‘Cam’. “Dane says he’s a little fucked up.” Eli said, Dane was Cam’s older brother and he and Eli were close. “Says he never wants to talk on the phone, he eats all the time and gained a bunch of weight. And he’s afraid of his roommate,”
“He hates school and wants to quit” I said, “but his parents are making him finish out the first year.”
“Maybe you should talk to them while you’re home” Brian suggested, “They might not understand how bad it really is. I mean, he tells you everything, and if he’s not telling you all that much, he might not be telling them everything.” Brian was making a lot of sense. I was Cam’s confidant for the last three years and he would tell me everything.
“I don’t know if I’m comfortable tattling on the guy” I said
“It’s not tattling!” Brian said with passion, “it sounds like he’s tried to talk to them but they’re not hearing what he’s saying. Maybe his best friend can help. Anne and Danny love you. They’ll listen to you.” Brian gave me a lot to think about, maybe he was right. Cam did tell them he wants to quit, and they told him to stick it out for a year. Maybe I could convince them to reconsider. I hated seeing Cam so depressed. He and his family were supposed to stop by for dessert and cocktails tonight. Maybe I could corner them while we were together.
We finished with the dishes then we all gathered around the pool for dessert. The 90’s music was blasting (like it always was around our village) and everyone was just lounging around enjoying each other’s company. I sat at one of the tables around the pool holding Zach’s hand as the guys basically hazed him. Eli kept telling him that he thought he was a great guy but wouldn’t hesitate to break his legs if he broke my heart. Mauricio flirted with him, telling him what a handsome boy he was, Adam kept smiling at him as he checked him out. Etcetera, etcetera. In other words, my family was just being themselves.
About an hour and a half after dinner, Cam and his family arrived and came out to the patio to join the rest of us. Cam’s face was animated, his eyes were sparkling as he said hello to everyone. He finally made his way over to us and gave Zach a huge hug “I’m so glad to finally meet you!” he said to Zach “I was too tired from my trip to give you a proper hello this morning” then he hugged Zach even tighter. Zach gave me a very confused look as he glanced at me over Cam’s shoulder. I just shrugged back at him. THIS was Cam, not that sad, sullen guy I introduced to Zach this morning. “So, when can we hang out?” He asked in an excited voice. His mood was a complete 180 from this morning.
“What about tomorrow? We can go four-wheeling in the desert. Kev said we could use his Jeep” I said. Cam was excited and we started talking about where we should explore. Cam engaged Zach in conversation and the two of them were talking away and laughing like there was no one else there.
I went over by Brian “So, are you going to talk to Cam’s parents?” He asked.
“I don’t know, maybe I misread the situation, he seems totally normal now. I don’t want to stir up shit.” I said still perplexed by the change in mood.
“Mood swings are common with depression. Maybe that’s what’s happening” he suggested. I honestly didn’t know what to do. Maybe I was completely misreading all of this. If I was, and I talked to his parents, I’d just be causing more trouble. I decided to wait it out and keep an eye on him for the next couple of days. We’d be spending the next day together, maybe I’d get a better read. Brian pushed me to talk to them, but I still decided to wait.
The next thing I knew, Cam was stripped down to his boxers and in the pool with my boyfriend and half our friends right behind him. If his mom wouldn’t have been there, these guys would’ve been completely naked. I can guarantee it!
While that was going on I talked to Kev about borrowing the Jeep. He threw me the keys and said Randy had it ready to roll for us. Then I saw Scotty and Brad sitting alone at a table and decided to take advantage of the opportunity. “Hey Scotty” I said in a casual tone. “Do you think you can get us a couple of day passes to The Resort for Saturday? We want to check it out.” He and Brad exchanged a look that I had no clue how to interpret.
“I dunno, Seth. That place can get a little…” Scotty started to say.
Brad interrupted “Nasty. Hardcore. Sexual. Aggressive.”
“Oh, come on, it’s not that bad and you know it. You guys go all the time.” I reasoned.
“Yeah, so we know what we’re talking about” Brad said. “Plus we’re a lot older and more experienced, and…”
“And we know how to fend off the advances.” Scotty said interrupting Brad. “Listen, The Resort can be a blast. But you guys are young and cute as fuck. You will be the prey. The daddies will be all over you. This world is extremely new to you guys, especially Zach. You’re just not ready.”
“We’re old enough. We could just walk in and buy day passes” I said making a point that was hard to refute. The two of them looked at each other again, then Scotty sighed. I knew that sigh. He was about to give in.
Brad spoke, “Listen, if Scotty sets you up with day passes, we need you two to promise that you won’t do anything stupid.”
“The one thing about The Resort is that no means no, and I want you to use that word” Scotty said. “If things get out of your control, you talk to the staff. They all know us and will help.” They were treating me like a kid.
“We’re freaking adults, and we’re both smart, AND we have each other’s backs. We’ll be fine. We just want to see what goes on” I said. They finally gave in, but they wanted to talk to Zach before we went and give him the same lecture I just got. I decided to push my luck and ask for a third pass for Cam.
“NO FUCKING WAY!” Scotty yelled getting the attention of several people. Then he looked around and whispered “Anne would fucking kill me. I am NOT setting that up. I’m already letting you two little shits in against my better judgement.” I Just smiled, thanked him, and gave them both a hug. Scotty and Brad were very protective of me, but ultimately, I was an adult and they trusted me. Besides, if Cam really wanted to go he could just buy his own pass… of course I didn’t say that out loud.
“Thanks for trusting me. I promise we’ll be smart” I said. Scotty returned a forced smile, he still had reservations.
Once that matter was settled to my satisfaction (meaning I got my way), I stripped down to my briefs and joined the others in the pool. There was a game of water volleyball going on, Zach and Cam were taking on the others, I joined their team. The three young bucks against the muscle daddies (and Brian and Eli too). They kicked our cocky asses. After the game I hung out in the shallow end with Baby Scotty, Matty, and Cam. Baby Scotty clung to me for dear life while Cam pushed Matty around on a floatie making motorboat noises. Cam was giggling as loud as Matty, it was good to see him smile. I wanted so badly to talk to him about how he was doing at school, but I was afraid I’d push him back into his depression, so all I said was “you know you can call or visit me anytime you want.” He nodded. He understood what I was saying.
I looked up on the patio to see my hot boyfriend laughing as he downed his second or third cocktail and all of Kevin’s friends fawned over him. He was the center of attention and loved it. “I love him” Cam said to me with a smile on his face “Does he have a brother in Chicago?” I laughed, but all I could think was how Cam deserved someone awesome too.
“He’s a good guy. I’m lucky” I said and truly believed it.
It was getting cold out as the sun went down. That’s one thing about the desert, it can be hot as hell when the sun is out, but the temperature just drops when the sun goes down. We all got out of the pool, dried off and went into the house. I was going commando now (as were most of the guys) as my underwear hung over the back of a chair to dry along with several other pairs. The next couple of hours were chaotic fun, full of conversation, catching up with everyone. Cam was by my side most of the night before he and his family said goodnight. “We’ll pick you up at 8:00 I said as I hugged him goodbye.” Then Zach came up from behind and gave him a bear hug. Cam’s face beamed. My two best friends were hitting it off.
Zach sat on an overstuffed chair in the great room, and I sat next to him on the arm of the chair, holding his hand. I had been watching him laugh, joke, and win over the village all night, and I kissed him on the forehead and thanked him for putting up with my family. “Putting up with them? This is the best fucking holiday I’ve ever had.” He responded with exuberance and a sparkle in his hazel eyes. “My family is so damn boring!”
While we were sitting there, the others milled around the kitchen and dining room. Matty (the adult Matty), Scotty’s boss came over to us. “We missed you around here Seth.
“Thanks, Matty, I missed all you guys so much” I said.
“I grew up like ten miles from Zach here, and went to UWM too” Matty stated, then he and Zach went off talking about small town shit and trying to find connections. Suddenly Matty got serious for a minute “I hear you guys are coming to The Resort this weekend” we both nodded with giant, dopey grins. “Listen, it’s a fun place, but it can get wild. Two young hot guys like you will be the center of attention, so just be smart and don’t let anyone talk you into anything, okay?” He looked concerned, “you guys are new to all this, and the other guys aren’t. Have fun, but if you get in over your heads walk away.” I was a little annoyed that they were all treating me like a kid, but I knew they were just looking out for us. In reality, they were starting to scare me a little with all the warnings… maybe that was their plan. Scare us out of going. It wouldn’t work, my curiosity was stronger than my fear.
After our conversation with Matty we decided to head home, we said goodbye to everyone, Put our wet underwear in a plastic bag, borrowed a couple of sweatshirts from Randy, jumped in Kev’s Jeep and headed down the hill to home. “I am so fucking horny” Zach said to me reaching past the stick shift and grabbing my cock as we drove, I just laughed. Randy had taken the top and doors off the Jeep for us to go four-wheeling and the cold desert air was making us both shiver. I blasted the heat. Zach reached up the leg of my shorts to my hardening cock. “All those fucking hot guys running around in wet underwear, DAMN! I couldn’t take my eyes off that redheaded guy Alex, and his beefy Marine boyfriend during volleyball” Zach said excitedly as he stroked me to a full erection. “You must’ve had a perma-boner growing up around here.” I Laugh at the comment, he wasn’t wrong. “I’m not sure I’m ready for The Resort. I mean, all those hot naked guys, I’ll be sporting wood the whole time” he said still stroking me.
“We don’t’ have to go, I just thought it’d be fun” I said as a little moan escaped my lips and I tried to keep my focus on the dark road.
“I wanna go, I’m just nervous about it” Zach said pulling my shaft out of my shorts, leaning over the shift, and taking me in his mouth. I moaned in pleasure as his warm mouth engulfed my manhood.
“Fuck, Zach. Be careful I’m driving! I said putting my hand on the back of his head encouraging more. “All their warnings just got me more curious, some major shit must go on if they’re all that worried about it” I said trying to ignore the fact that Zach was blowing me as I drove. There was a good spot to park and see the sites just ahead. I pulled over, put the Jeep in neutral, pulled the emergency break up and pulled my shorts to my ankles. My hand pushed firmer on the back of Zach’s head encouraging him to take me deeper as I bucked my hips up. Oh my god it felt amazing! The cold night air whipped through the open Jeep, the heat blasted against my feet and chest and my groin was covered with Zach’s hot, wet mouth. The contrasting temperatures added to the thrill of being out in the open.
I stretched and reached behind Zach trying to put my hands down the back of his shorts but couldn’t quite reach. He wriggled his shorts down to his ankles and was stroking himself with one hand as his other hand and his mouth continued to whip me into ecstasy.
I thew my head back against the seat and closed my eyes, He had me on the brink as I pumped my hips up and he slammed his face against my pubes. Fuck I was close! He edged me several times, we were becoming experts on each other’s body rhythms, and he knew how to work me. I couldn’t take it anymore. With my eyes still closed I pushed his head down, holding it there as I shot my load down him warm throat, yelling as I did. He gagged a little as he tried to swallow my cum. Then he cleaned my cock off and came up to give me a cum-filled kiss. I opened my eyes for the first time since he went down on me. The sky was red, then blue, then red, then blue. FUCK! There was a cop parked behind us with his lights on, Zach saw it too.
“Shit!” he yelled as we both reached to pull our shorts up. I could hear the crunching of gravel as the officer approached.
“Car trouble gentlemen?” The officer asked. I couldn’t help but notice how hot he was, that just added to my nervousness.
Flustered I responded “Um, no officer, we were just enjoying the view.”
The officer smiled knowingly and asked, “Are you from around here?”
“My family lives down at the bottom of the hill, I’m home from school for the holiday with my friend” I answered quickly and respectfully. He asked for my license, then asked if this was my vehicle. “No, I’m borrowing it from a friend while I’m home” I said as he looked at my license.
A broad smile adorned his face as he looked at the I.D. in his hand “Westin? You related to Brad Westin?” SHIT, he knew Brad. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
My heart sunk as I realized we were busted big time. My family would hear about this. Then I heard the quick beep of a horn as Eli and Brian passed by in the Bronco on their way home and waved out the window. There was no doubt that they were cracking up at our misfortune. “Yes, sir. Brad is my brother… and those were my other brothers.”
The officer looked at the wet spot on my tented shorts and said “I see the family resemblance” with a sexy smirk on his face. “Why don’t you boys call it a night and head home. Tell Brad and Scotty Officer Rick says hello.” Then he handed me my license and headed back to his squad car. We just sat there for a minute looking straight ahead with wet spots on the fronts of our shorts, not saying a word as we watched the handsome officer drive away.
“We are so fucking busted” Zach said.
I laughed nervously, my heart still racing “we are NEVER gonna live this down” I said as I checked my mirrors, put the Jeep in gear and pulled back onto the dusty road for home. When we reached the house I pulled in the drive, gave Zach a kiss and said “get ready for a shit storm” as we got out of the vehicle and went into the house. Eli and Brian were in the family room playing video games and having a beer, neither said a word. Brad and Scotty just got back from Kevin and Randy’s and walked in behind us carrying containers full of leftovers. “So, Zach how was your first Nicholls/Westin holiday?” Brad asked my red-faced boyfriend.
“Looks like it sucked” Eli yelled from the couch and him and Brian cracked up. Then Eli added “We saw Kev’s Jeep pulled over by the cops at the make out spot on the hill on the way home.” He totally sold us out! Zach’s face turned white as a ghost; he was mortified.
“You guys got pulled over?” Brad said in an almost scolding voice. He seemed to ignore the information about the make out spot.
I sheepishly said “yes, he let us go with a warning. He said to tell you Officer Rick says hi.”
Brad turned bright red and shot a look over to Scotty who turned even redder and looked away from us. Then Brad said “Be more careful next time. Kevin will kill you if you wreck his Jeep” and dropped the subject. I’m not sure what was going on, but they were hiding something. All I know is that the mention of Officer Rick got us off the hook. I put that information in the back of my head for later.
“We’re gonna turn in. We’re getting up early to go four-wheeling with Cam tomorrow.” I said and headed down the hall.
“I’m staying here again tonight, so keep it down” Brian yelled after us. He and Eli snickered.
When we got to my bedroom Zach was beside himself with humiliation and worry “shit if my dad ever finds out, what the fuck are we gonna do?” He said freaking out on me in a quiet voice so my brothers wouldn’t hear.
I involuntarily chuckled a little. I wasn’t trying to be dismissive or an asshole, but it really wasn’t a big deal “Zach, your dad is 2,000 miles away! You’re not in a small town. No one will tell him. You saw how fast it got dropped.”
“But the cop could….” Zach started to protest.
“But the cop won’t. He doesn’t even know who you are! He looked at my license, not yours. And I’m guessing the guy is gay and probably a friend of Marc’s… one of the guys you were hanging with earlier.” I said trying to calm him. “I know you’re a little freaked out, but I PROMISE this is so not a big deal.” He was sitting on the bed, and I sat next to him, took his face in my hands, and put my forehead against his “trust me on this.” He gave me a half smile, but I could tell he was still freaked out. We stripped and got into bed, I spooned him and reached around to grab his flaccid member.
“I’m not in the mood” he whispered. That was a first. Zach’s always in the mood. I hoped he’d feel better after he slept on it.
When I woke up at about 7:30AM Friday morning, I was alone in my bed, Zach was gone. I smelled coffee and headed towards the kitchen, there was less than half a pot of coffee, but no one was there. I looked out towards the pool and there was Zach sitting on a lounge chair in a sweatshirt hugging his legs and drinking coffee as he talked to Brad, Scotty, Eli, and Brian. He was smiling again and looked cute as hell as he warmed his hands on the mug. I poured myself a cup of coffee and quietly opened the door and joined them unnoticed. Zach must’ve told my brothers he was freaking out because they were all reassuring him and telling stories about stupid crap they had done over the years. Zach spotted me after a few minutes and shot me a smile “Good morning.”
“Good morning” I replied. I wanted to ask him if he felt better but didn’t want to put him on the spot in front of my brothers. I wasn’t sure what he had told them.
“Hey Sleeping Beauty!” Eli said. “Zach was freaking out about getting caught making out. We were just topping his story.” The other guys chuckled a little.
“I think he feels better now that he knows Officer Rick is an old friend and has probably already forgotten about it by now” Scotty said.
Zach looked up at me over his mug (damn those hazel eyes), smiled, and said “I’m good now” then added, “your brothers are a bunch of idiots.” They all laughed as Eli reached over and punched him on the shoulder. Hard. Zach just flashed him a fake frown and rubbed his arm. We all hung out until Brad and Scotty left for work.
“C’mon let’s get dressed and pick up Cam” I said. We took a quick shower together and I reciprocated the incredible blowjob from the night before. Zach was back to normal thank god. After we picked up Cam stopped at Jordy’s Café’ for breakfast before heading out to the desert in the Jeep.
There I was with my two best friends at the place where I first came out. I was home and it felt good.
To be continued…
