Chapter 13

Our sex play finished we all crowded into the bathroom and squeezed into the shower, the shower recess was filled with bodies as we shifted about washing each other under the dual showerheads. It was great fun as we grab assed each other lathering each others sexy bodies, hard cocks soon appeared as we played with one another, but it was all a fun experience and nothing sexual occurred, just a heap of smooching and stroking. We clambered out and dried one another, fondling each other's hard erections with the soft fluffy towels then we headed to the lounge to reclaim our clothing.

Dick lent Tom some of his civilian clothes as I dug out a pair of slacks and a sports shirt, we dressed and I laughed as I'd never seen young Tom in anything but his uniform or naked. He really was a very handsome young man, I could see why Richard had fallen so hard for him, he looked good in his tight uniform but in civvies he really stood out. Dick was folded around him as they kissed fervently, I could see both their bulging cocks as their lips locked. My own penis was once again at full mast as Henry rubbed his manhood against my arse while his hands stroked my torso and cock, his tongue tickling my ear and throat causing me to moan loudly.

We were enjoying the gentle pleasure when there was a loud ringing of the doorbell, then a fist thumping on the door rattling it. We broke apart in shock as we heard a loud voice saying, " Open up this is the Police."

A look of utter amazement and fear crossed our faces as we disentangled ourselves and Henry straightened his clothing adjusting his cock so it wasn't as evident as the door banging commenced again. Richard, Tom and I sat down on the lounges well apart and tried to look as innocent as we could as we sipped our cold coffees. Henry opened the door to be confronted by two of New York's finest, uniformed police officers, they barged into the apartment their eyes taking everything in at once as they glared at us. Henry followed them demanding to know what they wanted, they stood there hands on their holsters looking slightly foolish as they grunted they had received a report that there was something illegal going on in the apartment. They let it slip that it was a female resident who had reported strange sounds and desperate cries issuing from the place and they had been sent to investigate.

They realized that they were looking foolish as we calmly stared at them as Richard laughed and said, " Well you can see nothing untoward is going on so would you guys like a coffee?"

The officers, embarrassed, rejected the offer and said, " We must get back on the road to look for real crimes occurring we are sorry we barged in like this." Henry smiled disarmingly and said, " No problems officers we're glad to see that you are on the ball."

With that they turned and left Henry saying goodbye as he closed the door, he returned and let out a deep sigh as he said, " Thank goodness we were dressed and not still under the shower, could you imagine what would have happened then?"

I laughed and agreed with him, as it was the 7th of December and Christmas was approaching I decided that I wanted to go into the city to purchase a few presents for Henry, Dick and Tom as well as for people back home in England. I suggested this to Henry, he jumped at the idea and said, " We can go in the morning if you wish Charles, it's getting a little late this afternoon and I want to get our evening meal on the go."

I said that this sounded good and we planned on doing so, we sat there while Henry and Dick began preparing a sumptuous repast, Tom and I sat there chatting about our adventures on the high seas. The radio was on in the corner of the big room and as we chatted I heard something that froze my thoughts, the announcer was saying something about the Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. I shushed Tom and listened carefully as he said that that morning the Japanese had bombed the base sinking or badly damaging all seven of America's battleships, leaving only the USS Pennsylvania undamaged she was in dry dock. I was horrified, as no one really believed that aircraft could sink heavily armored battleships so easily. Admittedly the ships were not modern but ranged from 18 to 25 years and were built in the era before aircraft reached the power of today. The might of the Pacific Fleet was destroyed in a few hours and with a terrible loss of life, the news was shattering as we listened to the report of damage on land and sea. The aircraft had decimated the airstrips, navy base as well as the fleet in one raid, the devilish Japanese were holding diplomatic discussions with the American Government while they were preparing and carrying out this dastardly and cowardly attack on an unsuspecting people.

We sat there in shock and Henry came into the room with Dick, both men were white faced in shock with tears running down their cheeks as they approached us. We stood up and opened our arms to them as they threw themselves into our embrace; we comforted them as they sobbed. Henry told us his brother was an officer on the Arizona, we all prayed he was alive and well. Tom and I sat down holding and silently comforted the shocked lads. Henry recovered his equilibrium first and said, " Oh my God, here we are shattered by this news but you two have been living with war for over two years and risking your lives daily on the seas. I'm afraid we are weaklings in comparison."

I said, " No your not weaklings you are just in a state of shock, the news is so sudden and unexpected. I too would be upset like you in your position."

Our plans were thrown into complete disarray and we sat there stunned comforting each other, the reporter continued the description of the havoc left after the aircraft had departed. It turned out that the planes had come in waves, the torpedo bombers had struck first doing massive damage, then the bombing force arrived as they departed, these aircraft were armed with armor-piercing bombs which too did heavy damage to the already smoke enshrouded ships after this wave more horizontal bombers appeared accompanied by dive-bombers. Only one battleship was able to get under way the USS Nevada and as she steamed between Ford Island and the Navy Yard she was bombed repeatedly until sinking and on fire she was run aground.

The loss of life was incredible and the Japanese must have been well pleased with the success their underhanded attack, they had neutralized the might of the American fleet in one quick blow. The only down side of the attack was that the American Carrier force was at sea and not damaged in Pearl Harbor, this would possibly cost them at a later date. President Roosevelt came on air and announced solemnly that the United States was declaring war on the Axis Powers, Japan, Germany and Italy. My heart leapt as I realized that now the most powerful country in the world was now coming in with the British Empire to defeat the enemy. I hoped it would be the turning point in our battle to survive.

We sat there still somewhat stunned until Henry stood up and said, " Well guys its time I got our food ready, come on Dick and give me a hand in the kitchen please."

They left Tom and I sitting there and Tom asked me what I thought of the news, I told him that it probably would mean we were going to win as America was an Industrial giant and would soon be building war materials quickly and that soon they would share the convoy duties with us making it much better for all, not to mention the huge population she had to call on militarily. Tom nodded and said, " It's a pity she had to lose so much before she joined the fight."

I said, " Yes Tom their isolationist policy was devastating only the President was trying his best to assist us in our endeavors. He was bending the rules by supplying us with equipment under the Lend Lease Scheme, our own ship is one of the American destroyers sent over to help us."

He nodded and agreed as he sipped his now almost cold coffee, Henry came into the room and said, " Dinner is ready, and I think we'll eat in the kitchen I don't feel up to eating in the dining room. I hope you don't mind eating in there it isn't grand or anything as you know."

I said, " No I don't mind at all, your superb meal will make us feel as if we were dining at the Ritz, Tom and I eat in my kitchen when he comes to visit me at home."

Henry smiled and we walked through to the kitchen where Dick was already seated waiting for us, we sat down and began to eat the thick juicy steaks and the succulently prepared vegetables. The meal was marvelous and cheered everybody up as we ate, Henry only picked at his food as he was thinking of his brother on the Arizona, I tried to cheer him up but he was too worried.

We finished the main course and Dick produced desert a hot apple pie and whipped cream, the two men had surpassed themselves and we fell to eating with relish, Tom mumbled through a mouthful that the meal was tops. I nodded in agreement as I squeezed Henry's hand and he smiled tentatively for the first time since the news broke. I said, " I'm sure your brother is safe over there Henry, the chances are good he survived. He may even have been ashore when the attack occurred. We can say a prayer for his safety."

We cleaned up the dishes and after washing and drying them we returned to the lounge room where we all knelt in silent prayer for Henry's brother, when we finished we sat down on the sofas and cuddled together. The radio was still recounting the damage and losses from Pearl Harbor, setting a somber mood for the evening as we listened to the devastation reported. We turned in early that night and I comforted Henry as sex was far from our minds, I could hear Tom talking softly to Richard in the second bedroom so I think they too were comforting each other. We finally dropped off to sleep and Henry tossed and turned all night as he dreamt of the horrors we had been listening to on the radio.

Day broke and I felt exhausted from the disturbed night and I looked at Henry's haggard features, the heavy dark circles beneath his eyes showing his lack of sleep. I got up to empty my bladder telling Henry to stay in bed and try to get some more sleep and I padded through to the kitchen after my ablutions to set the coffee percolator going. Tom staggered out after visiting the toilet and flopped wearing just his briefs in the chair and stared tiredly at the percolator. I looked at him and said, " You had a restless night too Tom? Henry kept me awake all night tossing and turning, I feel absolutely knackered this morning."

He nodded tiredly and said, " Yes Dick was moving about all night too he was mumbling in his sleep as well."

I said, " Well the poor guys have had a huge shock, their peaceful world has been completely shattered by these events. You can't blame them for being upset especially Henry as he is worried sick about his brother."

Tom nodded and said, " I know how he feels my parents were killed in the blitz."

I moved to his side as his tears began to course down his cheeks, I hugged him and began to stroke his back as I tenderly kissed his hair. I said, " I know Tom, war is so hard on everyone it is a terrible thing to endure, if only people could live in peace."

He sobbed onto my chest as I tried to comfort him, Dick stumbled into the kitchen and asked what was wrong with Tom, and I told him about Tom losing his parents in the blitz. Dick came across and hugged the boy saying, " Oh Tom, that is terrible news I'm so sorry I was upset over our problems, you have been so strong comforting me but your loss is much graver. Just remember that I love you intensely and will always be here for you."

Tom sobbed and shook as he cried heavily letting all the pent up hurt out of his young body and mind, I stepped away allowing Dick to comfort the distraught lad. I poured four cups of coffee out and added the necessary milk or sugar then took two cups, one for Henry, into the bedroom. I sat down on the edge of the bed and placed the cups on the bedside cabinet then gently shook Henry's bare shoulder as I kissed his cheek. He murmured in his sleep then his eyelids fluttered as he began to awaken, his eyes opened puzzled at first then he saw me and smiled tiredly. I kissed him on the nose and said, " I've brought you in a coffee my sweet one, sit up and drink it."

He struggled up and leant on the headboard as I handed him the coffee, he sipped it and thanked me then he drank thirstily he placed the empty cup on the cupboard beside the bed and rubbed his eyes as he stretched. He looked at me blearily and said, " Oh I feel like I haven't slept all night, you look tired as well did you not sleep well either?"

I nodded and told him he had been having nightmares all night and kept tossing and turning as he dreamt. He apologized and said, " Oh Charles I'm sorry you need all the sleep you can get after your convoy from England, I'll make sure you get plenty tonight my love."

I kissed him again and he said, " We'd better get up and shower, I feel very yucky this morning a shower will wake me up and make me feel human again."

We hurried to the shower where he adjusted the temperature and drew me under the sprays, we soaped each other and soon were both aroused as we fondled each other and kissed passionately. Henry knelt on the tiled floor and began sucking my penis as I held his face tenderly, my balls were throbbing with pent up juice and I felt that magical sensation as my climax approached and my low hangers drew up close to my throbbing cock. Henry intensified his sucking and literally sucked my cum out of my balls as I moaned loudly and thrust deeply into his accommodating throat, he swallowed my semen gulp by gulp until I felt drained my knob tingling almost painfully as he tongued me. I had to pull away from him or go insane with the excruciating teasing of his fellatio, Henry looked disappointedly up at me and I pulled him up into my arms to kiss him shoving my tongue into his mouth to taste my juice there in his hot orifice.

He melted into my arms and sighed deeply as I felt his hard cock rubbing against my thigh, as he humped my leg feverishly, I whispered into his ear as I kissed it, " Will you fuck me with that gorgeous cock I want your semen in my body my lover."

Henry turned me around and on his knees he pried my cheeks apart and buried his face in my wet cleft the warm water cascading over our excited bodies, I felt his tongue dancing on my sphincter as he tongued me feverishly. I became more and more excited at the sensations he was causing and he soon had two digits inserted up my rectum. He was twisting them about relaxing me and opening my hole up, after some time he stood up and gently pushed into my anus. I gasped at the first intrusion then as he filled me completely I began to enjoy his fucking immensely, Henry was a consummate lover, very gentle and caring and his gorgeous cock filled my hungry arse nicely.

He fucked me for some forty minutes on nearing a climax he would halt unmoving until his balls dropped back then he would begin all over again, I was moaning loudly from his manipulations until unfortunately he couldn't contain himself any longer and he blew an incredible amount of sperm into my belly. I clamped my ring around his throbbing cock as my penis fired off my second ejaculation in just over an hour; Henry felt my orgasm and his hand grasped my cock as he pumped me dry. We slid slowly to the floor of the shower and lay there water spraying over our exhausted bodies until our skins began to wrinkle and I said, " Come on sexy man let us get out and dry off, Dick and Tom will be wondering what we are up to in here."

Henry laughed and replied; " I think they might know what we are doing Charles we've been in here over an hour you know."

We turned off the water and grabbed a couple of towels dried each other off and walked out into the bedroom to pull on some clothes. Dressed we headed to the kitchen to get some nourishment; Tom passed us smiling knowingly and winked at us. Richard was not far behind him and he grinned at us and said, " I hope you didn't use all the hot water."

We laughed and Henry said, " No way Dick you know the boiler in the basement supplies all the hot water you could ever need."

We sat down and began to eat the cereal the lads had served up for us, Henry put some bread in the toaster while we ate, the bread was soon toasted on one side as he flipped the doors open turning the slices to toast on the other side. We finished the cereal and buttered the warm toast eating it with relish as we sipped on more coffee. We discussed what we would do today and Henry definitely wanted to take us shopping in the city. We waited for the lads to reappear showered and looking much better then we set out to go shopping.

We exited the building and you could sense the change in the people, no shock was still evident on their faces the people seemed grimly angered and I thought to myself, " God help the enemies of this great nation."

The headlines on the newspapers screamed out for vengeance and outside a marine recruitment office there was a long line of men of all ages queued up waiting to enlist. The mighty slumbering giant was awakening quickly and angrily. We made our way to Macy's and browsed around as I bought some gifts for everyone I had planned, the goods on display were amazing after the meager supplies back home. My shopping list was completed and we wandered about amongst the crowd listening to the conversations, most were showing extreme anger at the Japanese and were demanding they be destroyed for their cowardly attack.

We hopped a cab back to Henry's apartment and the driver never stopped berating the Japanese he reckoned that their lying sneaky diplomats in the country should be arrested and hung as war criminals. He typified the resentment and anger of the average American citizen, this man was a serviceman in WW1 and he said that if he weren't too old he would be enlisting in the army again. He went on to tell us he had been wounded twice in the trenches in France and had finally been sent home in a hospital ship. He hated the Germans and was objecting to his government's inaction so far in allowing them to march through Europe virtually unchallenged except for England trying to help Poland and France.

When he heard my accent his ears pricked up and he said, " You're a Limey, what are you doing over here while your country is fighting for survival?"

Henry informed him I was the captain of an English destroyer on convoy duty across the Atlantic, the driver apologized effusively and praised the British Navy for the sterling job we were doing against such overwhelming odds.

We pulled up outside the apartment building and I paid the driver giving him a good gratuity and thanking him for his compliments. He smiled at me then sped off into the traffic as we walked into the lobby of the building, pressing the button to summon the lift.
