Mike found Alan in the lobby, almost lost in an oversized chair.  He was curled up in a fetal position, leaving room for Mike to sit down at the foot of the chair.  He placed his hand on Alan’s thigh and rubbed it gently up and down.  He expected Alan to push him away, but thankfully he didn’t.

“Alan,” Mike started tentatively, “please let’s talk.”  Alan uncurled himself and sat upright facing his father.  His cheeks were wet with tears.

“It’s Matt’s fault,” he hissed.  It was his idea to seduce you, and now look at the mess.”

Mike threw his arms around Alan.  “No, no!  You must never think that.  Matt did nothing wrong.  Alan, my son, you are my whole reason for existence. Listen to me very carefully.  I have a confession to make.  I have been suppressing my homosexuality my whole life.  You and Matt did nothing but free me.  I know it’s hard to understand, but I still love your mother.  Ben and I have taken an oath to be totally discreet so that she’ll never be hurt.  I’m going to confess something else but you must promise me that you won’t tell anyone, not even Matt.  Promise?”

“Of course, Dad.  Hell how can you shock me anymore?   

“Well, hold on to your, hat.  Here it comes.  You know how your mother has a weekly bridge game?  Have you ever wondered why the game is never in our house?  You would think that they would go around the table.  I have suspected for a few years now that your mom is having an affair and uses the game as an excuse to get out at least once a week.  God knows what happens when you are in school and I am at work.  I also have the feeling that she is working up the courage to tell me about it.  Take this weekend.  What loving wife would be happy to send her husband off on a hiking trip with four gay men?  Hell, she couldn’t wait to get rid of us.  Still, none of this matters.  I swear I’ll do nothing to hurt her, nor will Ben.  Will you come back now and kiss Matt and meet Ben.”

“Sure Dad, but give me a chance to recover.  This is all pretty heavy stuff.  Anyway, I swear, I really don’t hate Matt or you for that matter.  It was only Mom I was thinking of, and I feel better about that now.  OK.  Let’s go.”

When they returned to the dining room, they walked in with Mike’s arm around Alan’s shoulder.  Matt was visibly relieved and let out a soft low whistle.  Alan went first to Matt and kissed him lightly on the lips.  Then he went to Ben, kissed him on a cheek and said, “Pleased to meet you, Ben.”

They ordered lunch and the conversation became considerably lighter. Ben joked that he couldn’t ever be late again with his rent check for the office or David and Jonathan would whip him with their limp cocks.  To which Matt quipped, “They’re never limp.”  Everyone laughed.

“You’d like that to happen, wouldn’t you?” David quipped back.  Then   Ben said seriously that he would like Caldwell Investments to help him manage his investments.  He told them that his former partner had taken him for a bundle before skipping out.  The boys started kidding around about sleeping arrangements for the night.  They didn’t realize that Ben had no idea that fathers and sons were sleeping together. 

Mike gave Alan and Matt a stern look.  He glanced over to the twins and said, “Please guys, I know you won’t mind if I spend the night with Ben.”  The boys saw it as an opportunity to make it with David and Jon so everyone agreed to it immediately.  For his part, Mike was determined to tell Ben that night about the unusual family relationship.  He was family now, and Mike would leave it to him how far he was willing to take it.

David signed the check charging their room.  Ben tried to grab the check but they wouldn’t let him.  After lunch they glanced at the afternoon activity board, and everyone decided that they would rather spend the afternoon lounging at the pool.

Off they went.  They picked up towels, arranged six lounges in a semi circle and stripped.  They fooled around in the water for a while, splashing each other and grabbing where the sun don’t shine.  Eventually they all grew tired.  After all, there had been a whole lot of loving going on.  They all lay down on their lounges and to a man, they fell asleep.

When they each started to awaken, they agreed to meet for dinner at seven. Mike took Ben with him to the twins’ room to pick up the little he had brought with him.  Alan and Matt went with him in case he needed some help.  His cell phone was on the dresser and it indicated that he had missed a call. 

“Let me just get this before we go,” he said to Ben.  Mike listened to the message and grew pale.  After he grew pale, he grew paler.  “Alan,” he said to his son.  You had better listen to this message.”  He handed the phone to Alan who started to play the messages and this is what he heard:

Michael, Alan, this is mom.  I know I am a big coward and I could never tell you this face to face.  If you had answered I would have hung up.  I am thrilled that I am leaving you a message and don’t have to talk to you.

Mike, I have been seeing a wonderful guy for almost three years now.  Don’t ask me how or why,  but we met and fell in love and that’s that.  His firm has given him a big promotion and he is moving to California.  I have decided that I want to be with him.  He and I have packed everything I care to take with me and we are waiting for UPS to pick up the packages right now.

Please forgive me.  You did nothing wrong, Mike, but you don’t make me happy like Ryan does.  Alan has found his happiness and I know you will too, and soon.

As soon as I get settled, I’ll send you my address and telephone number.  If I left something behind that I want, I am sure you’ll send it to me. I’ll also have my lawyer contact you and I suggest you get a lawyer too.  I do love you both very much.

The message ended and Alan ran to his father and embraced him.  “I guess you were right Dad but who expected this to happen so soon.  I guess that sort of uncomplicates things doesn’t it?”

He then went over to Ben and said, “You got walked out on and now my dad has gotten walked out on.  You two dudes better take good care of each other.  Please don’t hurt my dad,” he added.  Then he hugged Ben and Mike in turn.

The others in the room had picked up on what happened and started to express sympathy.  “Nonsense,” Mike said.  “You heard Alan.  This uncomplicates things.  Now, really, if you don’t mind I’d like to be alone with Ben.”

When Alan and the Caldwells were alone, nobody was quite in the mood for sex so the boys went to their room.  They said they would just watch TV and shower and get ready for dinner later.  David and Jon did the same.

Back in Ben’s room, Mike and Ben were sitting on the bed.  Ben had his arms around Mike.  “Listen baby,” he said, “I love you and I’m here for you.  I’m going to help you get through this.  I’m an old hand at it and I know just how you feel.” 

Mike started to laugh.  “It’s not that at all.  In so many ways I’m relieved.  What I’m concerned about is something else.  I don’t want us to start out with secrets so I need to tell you some things.  After you hear what I have to say if you want to give me the boot, I’ll understand.”

“No matter what you have to say, it’s hardly likely I’d boot you out now that I have found you after all this time.  Fire away.”

“I’ll try to give you the abbreviated version,” Mike said.  He took a deep breath and began:  “David and Jonathan found Matt on the streets.  They took him in and eventually adopted him.  Well not exactly.  Their father actually adopted him.  Being a gay couple they tried to eliminate all the snags.  Anyway, Matt had been sexually abused his whole life.  All he knew was that when you gave sex you got favors in return.  On the very first night in their home he tried to seduce the twins to assure that they would not send him away.  Of course, they stopped him, but one night in their sleep, Matt went down on David.  By the time David realized what was happening he was unloading in the boy’s mouth.  Matt just wouldn’t take no for an answer.  He was so persistent in his desire to express his love physically, that finally David and Jonathan gave in to having sex with him regularly.  After Matt and Alan became a couple they thought it would be cool to seduce David and Jon as a couple.  By this time, the twins had long since abandoned resisting Matt’s sexual appetite.  The very night they seduced the twins, the boys started making plans to seduce me.  They are very, very good.  I didn’t know what hit me, but suddenly I was sucking and fucking my own son and his partner.  For your information, this weekend was the first time I had sex with the twins.  That’s it my darling.  I won’t blame you if you want to run a country mile.”

“Does this look like I want to run?” Ben asked and pointed to his very hard, throbbing cock.  “From what you say, I expect the boys to seduce US any time now.”

“And it’s all right with you?” Mike asked meekly.

“Oh yeah,” Ben responded. 

Michael started to laugh so hard, he choked and Ben had to slap him on the back a few times.  “What???” he asked.

“What do you say we beat them at their own game?”  Ben nodded and joined Mike laughing.

That night dinner was great fun.  Everyone was relaxed.  All burdens had been removed from their hearts.  David surprised everyone by telling joke after joke.  Even Jon didn’t know he had it in him.  During dessert Mike said to Alan and Matt, “Before you turn in tonight, come to our room.  We have something for you.”  Then he said to David and Jonathan, “We’ll send them off to bed and meet you guys in the piano lounge after.  OK?”

“Sounds like a plan,” Jon agreed.

The boys followed Ben and Mike to their room.  As soon as they were inside and the door was closed, Mike grabbed Alan and Ben grabbed Matt.  “You didn’t think we were going to let you have all the fun with David and Jon did you?’’  The older men were removing the boys’ clothing as they spoke.  When their cocks popped out, they fell to their knees and sucked the boys until they begged for mercy.

‘What was all that about?” Alan asked.

“A dose of your own medicine.  How do you like it?  We thought we’d get you before you could get us.  That’s it for now,” Mike said, “but there will be more.  We have to meet the others at the bar now and you two had better turn in.”

The boys laughed all the way to their room.  The sex they just had was a bare hint of their usual activity and they had things to do.

Mike and Ben located David and Jon at the bar.  That was no easy feat since the crowd at the bar was at least seven tiers deep. 

“What took you so long?” David asked.

“We wanted to make sure the boys were well taken care of,” Ben replied.

Unexpectedly Jon threw his arms around Mike and Ben and in an emotional voice he said, “I am so happy for both of you.”

“Me too,” David chimed in.  “We need to get you guys a drink and refresh ours so we can make a toast.”  They started to inch their way to the bar when a cute young waiter approached them.  He seemed to sense that they were trying to get to the bar.

“Can I get you something?” he asked.  The men gave him their orders and he was back in less than ten minutes.  Again Jon signed the check and charged his room over the objections of Mike and Ben.  They took their drinks to a far corner of the room.  There were no tables available, but there was a ledge running along the back of the room for the sole purpose of resting one’s drinks. 

David made the toast. “Here’s to two great guys.  May you have long lives, happiness, wealth, lots of sex, and most of all may you always be as happy in your union as Jon and I.”  Then he added, “And as happy as Matt and Alan seem to be.”  They all drank and then rested their glasses on the ledge.  For the next hour they made small talk and each had one more drink.  Then Mike made an indecent proposal, or maybe not.

“You know,” he said, “we are not only four friends, but through our sons we are also family.  I couldn’t love all you guys more if it was a blood relationship.  Alan and Matt taught me that the best way to express love was not by talking about it, but by showing your love physically.  How about we go back to Ben’s room where I can show you how much I love you all and how happy I am at the events of the day.” 

Not only did he get a bunch of smiles, but everyone thought that it was a smashing idea.  You see, the piano bar was so crowded that they kept getting pushed together.  It was obvious to the four of them that with each new push, cocks were growing harder.  They could feel it against their bodies.  They were more than happy to express their love and relieve their loins.

In Ben’s room, the naked men stood together with their arms around their shoulders and their cocks pressing against one another.  One tongue found another easily.  Finally they paired off, Mike with David and Ben with Jon.  First they had oral sex, playing sixty nine to the moans of such pure pleasure that no poet could ever describe it in words.  Mike was so right about that.  Then Mike got with Jon and Ben got with David for anal sex.  For the round after that one, the tops became the bottoms and the bottoms became the tops but with different partners.  They all had a chance to enjoy each other.  The room had two queen sized beds.  About three in the morning, they fell into an exhausted sleep.  Mike and Ben were in one bed and David and Jon in the other.

About eight o’clock the next morning there was a loud rapping at the door.  Ben was startled and vaulted out of bed.  He was naked when he opened the door.  There stood Alan and Matt.

Matt said, “I guess we don’t have to ask if you had a good time last night. It’s rather obvious.  We aren’t about to forgive you for leaving us out of the equations you created.  You’ll just have to make it up to us, and you can start by taking us to breakfast.  We have to check out of here by 1PM.”

Groaning with displeasure the men got up, showered two at a time, dressed in last night’s attire and they all went to the dining room.  They decided to continue the celebration by saying fuck you to cholesterol and calories.  They ordered a variety of breakfasts which they shared.  There were eggs, French toast, pancakes, butter, jams and jellies, coffee and milk.  They ate like vultures.  Prolific sexual activity had given them all ravenous appetites.

Alan said, sort of like he was making an announcement, “I have an idea.  While Ben is vacating his apartment and moving in with my dad, why don’t I shack up with Matt at the Caldwells, and Dad, you and Ben can really get to know one another.”  He looked at David and Jon.  “That is, if it’s Ok with Matt’s parents.”

David and Jon looked at him as if to say, “Are you kidding?”

“It sounds like a good idea to me,” Ben said.  “What do you think, honey?” he asked, looking at Mike.  Did he have to ask?

That afternoon after they checked out, Mike drove home with Ben, and Alan and Matt drove home with David and Jon.  Along the way David suggested they stop first at Mike’s house so that Alan could pick up a starter supply of clothes and toiletries, since it was uncertain how long he would be with them.  As far as Alan and Matt were concerned it would be until they left for college.

In the other car Ben and Mike decided to stay at Mike’s so that they wouldn’t miss any calls from Phyllis.  As a result both cars merged on Mike’s house almost simultaneously.  Ben dropped Mike off and continued on to his house to get clothes and toiletries for his extended stay.

When they all entered Mike’s house, there were two phone messages on the answering machine.  Both were for Alan from school friends.  In a way Mike was glad there was nothing from Phyllis.  He didn’t think he could deal with it yet.  After Alan loaded his stuff into the leased mini van, David suggested that they all go out to dinner tonight since Mindy was off and nobody else was in position to make dinner at the eleventh hour.  Using his cell phone, he called a little Italian restaurant.  It was right in the neighborhood.  He, Jon and Matt and now Alan ate there often and were very friendly with Mario, the owner.  David made reservations for six at 7 PM.  He told Mike that he and Ben could meet them there.  It was within walking distance for all of them.

Before they were ready to leave for home, Ben was back.  “I just brought a few things over,” he said.  “I can bring more stuff tomorrow.”

At seven the new family gathered at Mario’s.  Mario greeted them effusively and was pleased to meet Mike and Ben.  The others had been here many times before.  Jon ordered two bottles of Mario’s very best red wine.  When everybody’s glasses were filled, even Matt’s and Alan’s, Mike said that he wanted to make a toast.

“I just want to say,” he began, “that this is the happiest day of my life, and I suspect that I am beginning the happiest time of my life.  I want to thank Ben for completing all the missing niches and making me whole.  I want to thank David and Jonathan for making us a part of their extended family.  Most of all, I need to thank Matt and Alan for being the finest two young men I know.  I want to bless their union for their sakes.  And for all our sakes, their union is what brought us all together.  So here’s to them and to all of us.”

Everyone took a sip and then had to use their napkins to wipe away the tears.

The End
