“Hi, sexy,” Ethan purred, showing only his smiling face and one hand.
“You ready for me, buddy?” his visitor asked eagerly.
“What do you think?” Ethan replied, opening the door just wide enough for Kenny to enter. Once safely inside, he almost whistled – except that the air got caught in his throat. There the guy he’d been dreaming about night and day for the past few days stood wearing only a pair of tight white 2(x)ist briefs that revealed in no uncertain terms the degree of the wearer’s excitement at what they were about to do. Kenny cupped his shaking right hand on Ethan’s bulge and squeezed gently.
“Oooh, better watch it, guy. You don’t want my pocket rocket to go off prematurely. Looks like you’re sporting one of your own there. Glad to see me?”
Kenny pulled Ethan’s hand over his clothed erection.
“Rather obvious, isn’t it?”
“Oh, I’m not sure,” Ethan teased. “I think a more detailed examination is in order. Let’s go upstairs to my room where we can take a better look.”
“You’re on,” Kenny hissed, as Ethan squeezed his hardness. The boys ran up the stairs and into one of the bedrooms at the top. Ethan jumped into his bed – the one he shared with his twin Eric – face up, and Kenny threw his body on top of him and kissed him like he hadn’t seen him in six months. He started pulling Ethan’s underwear off.
“Oh, no you don’t,” Ethan said, when Kenny finally removed his tongue from his mouth long enough to take a gulp of air. “Let’s get some of those clothes off of you first. You have way too much on.”
Kenny’s clothes started flying in all directions until he was wearing no more than his host – a skimpy pair of white briefs.
“Now?” Kenny teased, once again pulling on Ethan’s briefs.
“Now,” Ethan replied, throwing his hand up above his head and allowing Kenny to strip him completely bare. Then Ethan rolled Kenny over on his back and yanked his final garment down and off until they were both equally nude.
“Yes, I’m sure of it now,” Ethan said, grabbing Kenny’s erection and running his hand up and down the silky smooth pole. “What we have here is a serious case of sexual arousal. What do you think we should do about it?”
“I have a suggestion,” Kenny said, bucking his hips off the mattress, begging for the attention that Ethan had promised last Saturday. Today there would be no delay in Kenny getting the same oral treatment from Ethan as Ethan got in their first time together five days earlier. Ethan practically devoured Kenny’s 7-inch cut member, gagging a bit until he got used to having such an organ in his mouth for the first time.
Kenny loved it but stopped him after a few up and down oral strokes.
“This is all going to be over in our first 10 minutes if you keep this up. Let’s take things a little slower and enjoy the ride. I’ve been dreaming about this for days, and I’m already about to explode.”
“Okay,” Ethan said, somewhat reluctantly. He’d been just as eager as Kenny for this to happen, but he was on the same page -- he wanted it to last a while. He lay his muscular nude body down on top of his new boyfriend, covering him with it from head to toe and maximizing their skin-on-skin contact. They kissed again for a while on the lips, and then Ethan started kissing Kenny all over his face, neck, and ears.
“Man, oh, man, I’ve wanted this so bad,” Ethan whispered. “You are so sexy, Kenny. I’m thanking my lucky stars that you took a chance and sat down at my table in the Student Center. I’d been watching you from across the room, and I almost creamed my pants when you made eye contact with me and actually walked over and talked to me – even if you did think I was Eric.”
“Yeah, I really thought you were, but I’m glad you’re Ethan. And I’m glad as heck to be with you here in your own bed. Let me up for a while – I want to take a good look at you. That cock of yours drives me wild.”
The feeling was very mutual indeed, and it wasn’t too much longer before both young men had had a gigantic taste of each other, personally and powerfully delivered. In their afterglow, they lay on their sides facing each other with their arms around each other and continuing to kiss and cuddle.
“If this is what it’s like to have real gay sex,” Ethan finally said, “count me in. Just be sure it’s with you.”
“I’m all for that, hot stuff. Can we do this every Thursday afternoon?”
“I think it can be arranged. I’ll have to check my calendar.”
“I’ll check your calendar, you dork, and I’ll write my name in big letters every Thursday afternoon for the rest of the semester.”
“Don’t bother. I think I’ll remember,” Ethan said with a satisfied smile.
Kenny played with Ethan’s still half-hard cock. Their love juices were still oozing a bit, and Kenny coated both of them with the sticky fluid that remained.
“What’s it like to have that little hood? I wish I knew.”
“Here, let me show you,” Ethan said, taking over the manual controls. Touching the tips of their dicks together, he slid his foreskin forward until it almost covered both heads, making Kenny gasp with pleasure at the unfamiliar sensation.
“Man, that feels so good. Do that some more.”
This action was making both of them hard again, which resulted in Ethan having less and less excess skin to share with his partner, but Kenny still got the message. Being uncut certainly had some advantages, and he was feeling a little deprived of something that he was rightfully born with but had lost through no choice of his own. Suddenly Ethan looked over and noticed the time and sat bolt upright.
“Kenny, we gotta call it quits. My uncle will be home soon, and so will Eric. I hate to end this just when things are heating up again, but we have to.”
“Okay,” Kenny said sadly. “But first I have to take a leak. Where’s the john?”
“Right across the hall.”
Kenny made a naked dash for the relief he needed. After he had finished and washed his hands, he walked back to Ethan’s room past the top of the long stairway and saw an unfamiliar figure climbing up. They saw each other at the same time, and both froze.
“Who the heck are you?” Roger asked, staring at the naked young man in front of him. The look on the older man’s face was not one that inspired any comfort. Kenny did not respond – enormously frightened and embarrassed, he just made a dash for Ethan’s room.
“Did you hear that, Ethan? Your uncle just came home, and he didn’t exactly look happy to see me naked in his house.”
“Oh shit, Kenny. I’m probably in hot water. Uncle Roger doesn’t know that Eric and I are gay – we haven’t even come out to our parents, much less him.”
There was a knock on Ethan’s door not five seconds later.
“Ethan, Eric, whoever’s in there, tell your visitor to put his clothes on and get out of my house ASAP! Then meet me in my den in ten minutes.”
“Kenny, I’m so sorry. Better get dressed and go home now and I’ll call you later.”
Kenny did as he was told and was happy not to run into Roger on his way out the main door. He went home and put on his exercise clothes to go downstairs and work out his fear, anger, and humiliation over the unexpected encounter.
Ethan got dressed and met his uncle as requested. He was angry, too, and not about to be intimidated by the uncle he had seen only a few times in his life before he and Eric had moved in with him to go to college at UE last fall.
Which one are you, young man? I can’t keep the two of you straight,” the older man said, glaring at Ethan as he entered the den.
“I’m Ethan, Uncle Roger. You should know that by now. And, as you’ve no doubt figured out from what just happened, I’m NOT straight – and I don’t apologize for that for one minute.”
“I never imagined when I let you move in here that you were a…I can’t even bear to say the word. Do your parents know about this?”
“No, Eric and I haven’t told them yet, Roger, but we were going to next summer.”
&
nbsp; “Eric is gay, too??? What kind of ruse did you guys think you were trying to pull over on me? I won’t tolerate your immoral so-called ‘lifestyle’ under my roof – do you hear me?”
“Loud and clear, Roger – but you’re wrong about that. There’s nothing wrong with being gay, but there sure is with being a bigot. You’re part of our family, and families should support each other despite their differences.”
“Well, I’m no longer part of you and Eric. You two can just pack up your faggot clothes and get the hell out of here. I’ll tell him the same thing when he gets home, and I’m giving you till Monday to find somewhere else to live because I’m not going to have a couple of horny homos under my roof. How many other perverts have you two brought here behind my back?”
“Just the one you saw today, Roger, but Kenny is not a pervert – he’s a wonderful guy and deserving of a little respect.”
“Well, he won’t find it here, and neither will you. I won’t speak of this to your parents, but I’d think twice about doing it yourself unless you want to devastate them like you’ve done to me.”
“It’ll be your loss, Roger. I just hope someday you can realize that what you’re doing to me and Eric is a big mistake,” Ethan said, turning and running up the stairs, shaking with rage.
Eric came home an hour later and found his twin, face down on their bed.
“Hey, bro. How was your day? TGIF tomorrow – can’t wait!”
When Ethan turned over, Eric saw that he’d been crying and looked like he’d lost his last friend.
“I have some bad news for you, Eric. Better sit down.”
Eric felt sick to his stomach as his twin brother relayed the news to him that their uncle was kicking them out of the house for being gay – and how Ethan’s afternoon liaison with Kenny had inadvertently revealed their long-kept secret.
“What are we going to do, Ethan? We don’t have any place else to go and practically no money.”
“I know, Eric, and I’m just sorry that my love life has to hurt you, too. I’m head over heels for Kenny, and I think he feels the same way about me. I think we’d better pack up our stuff and move back home. It’s time Mom and Dad know about us and what happened. Maybe we can all put our heads together and figure out a way to stay in school here. I know I can’t ask this of you, but I’d live on the street before I’d leave Kenny.”
“I don’t want to leave Evansville either, bro. We’re both doing well in school, and it’s so great that we’ve met Max and Kenny and their family. But I agree with you – let’s head home after classes tomorrow and let Mom and Dad know what’s going on. Maybe Roger won’t mind if we leave the rest of our stuff here until Monday as long as he doesn’t have to see us all weekend. I never realized what a homophobic asshole he is.”
“Self-loathing closet case is my assessment. He can’t accept himself, and so he’s not going to accept us either. I think we’re better off without him.”
“I can’t argue with that, bro.”
The twins went to their favorite burger joint for something to eat and continued to commiserate with each other over their sandwiches and fries. They went to the UE library and tried to study, staying out until after they thought Roger had probably gone to bed. Meanwhile, Ethan called Kenny to fill him in on what had happened with Roger and their plans for the weekend.
Kenny was as appalled at Roger’s behavior as the twins were. He was especially upset that his new boyfriend might not be able to stay in Evansville after his and Eric’s weekend with their parents. They were certainly in no position to live anywhere independently yet. After a day of reflection, Kenny decided he could not remain passive about this unexpected situation, but he waited until the family had had breakfast together on Saturday morning to speak his mind.
When Bobby asked him why he was so uncharacteristically quiet, Kenny steeled his nerve.
“Okay, I need to talk. And I mean to all of you.”
This was very unlike their normally carefree son and brother, so everyone was all ears – especially because of Kenny’s serious tone. Barbara poured some more coffee for everyone first. Her usual inclination was to clear the dirty dishes immediately, but she restrained herself, knowing that what was about to be discussed was likely to be important. For once the dishes could wait.
“What’s wrong, son?” Al asked.
“Okay, I’m just going to put this all out on the table and not hold anything back,” Kenny began. “It shouldn’t come as any big surprise to any of you that Eric’s brother Ethan and I…well…we’re sort of dating. I ran into him at the UE Student Center about a week and a half ago and went over to him because I thought he was Eric.
“We really hit it off right from the start, which might have been apparent last Saturday, when he came over to help Eric bathe Max. We, uh, got together Thursday afternoon at their uncle’s house, where they live, just off campus. Ethan and I thought we were alone in the house, but their uncle sort of caught me walking between the bathroom and Ethan’s room. It might have been okay except that I…well…uh…didn’t have any clothes on.”
Feeling his face go red, Kenny looked at his coffee cup, and Barbara and Al coughed nervously and looked at the wallpaper. The others – Bobby, Grant, and Max – had to stifle a smile, despite the apparent seriousness of the situation.
“The only reason I’m telling you all this is that his uncle threw a big fit and told me to leave. After I did, he confronted Ethan and told him that he and Eric had until Monday to move out of his house. The long and short of it is that they went up to Vincennes this weekend to tell their parents – they didn’t know any more than their uncle did that they’re gay. Ethan and Eric are gonna be out on the street as of Monday, if they even come back here at all – and it would just kill me if they don’t.”
Max blanched and his mouth dropped open at this news, knowing that he had almost as much to lose as Kenny did if the twins didn’t come back to Evansville – or if they came back only long enough to reclaim their possessions. Eric had already let him know that he and Ethan were making an unplanned trip home and couldn’t bathe him today.
“I know we don’t have a lot of room here,” Kenny went on, “but I’m just asking if we can put them up for the rest of the semester. Ethan and I can sleep in the basement – if we can put a bed down there and a couple of space heaters – and Eric can have my bed in Max’s and my room. Maybe if they can get their parents to agree to this, they’ll be willing to chip in some grocery money. I know they did for their uncle to feed them.
“Look, I know this is asking a lot, but I don’t know what other options they have. Their parents can’t afford to give them enough money to rent an apartment, and they’re already well into the spring semester. And besides…I need Ethan in my life. And I think Max needs Eric in his – right, Max?”
No one said anything for a minute, waiting for someone else to say what they thought.
“I think Kenny is right about this,” Max finally spoke up. “Eric means a lot to me, and I’d hate to lose him as a caregiver and friend. If we could do this for them, I know they’d be grateful and would pull their weight around here, even if they couldn’t contribute much money. So count me in with Kenny. I think we should do it.”
“It’s certainly all right with Grant and me, isn’t it, honey?” Bobby said. “But it has to be your decision, Mom and Dad.”
Barbara and Al looked at each other before Al spoke up.
“If your mother feels like she can handle two more mouths to feed, it’s okay with me. Barbara?”
All eyes turned to the other end of the table. Barbara wiped away a tear before responding.
“I guess I’m willing to try it for a while, Kenny. I just worry about what might happen if you and Ethan…well…don’t feel like it’s going to work out between you. I mean you’ve only known each other for a few days.”
“Thanks, Mom,” Kenny said. “I can see why you think it’s a gamble, but I don’t think that’s going to happen. If it d
oes, God forbid, they’ll just have to find somewhere else to live. I don’t like to put you on the spot, and I don’t ask for much around here, but I’m just saying that nothing I’ve ever asked for has been more important to me than this.”
Al put his hand on Kenny’s, and they went around the table in the usual Rushton manner until they were all joined together in agreement and in silent blessing for what they were about to offer the Potter twins. It was all Kenny could do to not break down and cry at the show of support.
CHAPTER 30
“Hi, babe – it’s me,” Kenny said a little while later when he connected to Ethan on their cell phones. “How’s it goin’ up there?”
“Oh, Kenny, thanks for calling. I’m already missing you. Eric and I got in here late last night, and we haven’t had a chance to sit down and talk to Mom and Dad yet about you know what. I think that’s going to happen this afternoon. My stomach is in knots, thinking about it. Eric’s in the shower right now, but I think he’s feeling the same way. I’m still in bed – we slept late this morning.”
“I’m glad you haven’t talked to them yet. I just want you to know something really important first.”
“What’s that, buddy?”
“I had a real heart-to-heart talk with my family this morning…all of them…about your situation – and my feelings about you – and I wanted to tell you that you and Eric can stay here in our house when you come back.”
There was silence on the end of the line as Ethan tried to process what he’d just heard.
“Ethan, did you hear me?”
“Yeah, I did. I’m blown away, man. How the heck would that work? I mean, you don’t have enough room for us, do you?”
