Chapter 7
Wiley 

Colton was preparing breakfast when Ryan walked into the bunkhouse. He gave his roommate a knowing grin.

"You look like something the cat dragged in. It must have been a fun night."

Ryan smiled. "Yeah, we had a good time, sort of an unplanned sleepover at the quarry."

Colton grinned knowingly. "Did you get any sleep?"

"We went to sleep about midnight when neither of us could get it up any more. I'll be okay after I take a shower."

"Shower quickly, breakfast is ready. And before I forget, Gramps and Grams would like you to have lunch with them. They're being left out of the loop. We need to make sure they know what you're doing, even if you don't wanna tell them all of the details."

He paused for a moment. "Even though Gramps and Grams are older, they know what's going on. After all, they raised Logan, and they know damn well what he and Toby did. Don't worry about letting things slip. You don't need to give them the gory details, but at least let them know who your new friends are and the fun times you're having with them."

"Got it. I'll be there for lunch."

************

Grams put the last of the food on the table and sat down to join Gramps and Ryan.

"Colton and Toby told us you're meeting new friends and having a lot of fun, and that makes us very happy."

Ryan took a sip of water. "I'm having fun working with Colton too. I can see I'm gonna learn a lot from him. Even some of the stuff I've done back home, he's showing me new, better ways to do it. I really appreciate the opportunity you're giving me."

Gramps smiled at him. "We're glad you're taking advantage of it. What did you do over the weekend?"

Ryan told them about Toby's grand tour of the area, about meeting Coach, James, and Jason, and about making dinner for Colton.

"Thanks again for the wine and the apple pie, Grams. That made the evening even more fun."

Gramps looked at Grams and raised his eyebrows. "Wine?"

Grams winked at him. "Never mind. We'll talk about it later. So, Tiger, what else have you been doing?"

Ryan reported on meeting Alan and Nicole, the fun dinner at the roadhouse, and his super day at the quarry.

"What I really like is how I'm accepted here for who I am, even by straight guys like Alan. I had a great time with everyone yesterday. Some of the guys want me to turn out for basketball. Is that okay?"

Gramps responded with a smile. "Absolutely. We'll look forward to attending your games."

Grams had a question. "I noticed you coming home at about six this morning. Did you stay overnight with a friend?"

"Jace and I decided to sleep out at the quarry overnight. It was great. The moon was so bright it was like daylight. I think I heard a coyote."

He paused for a moment.

"Gramps, I've got a favor to ask. This afternoon, I'd like to go to the quarry. Could I use the spare four-wheeler? I've driven them at home, and Toby showed me how to get there on the ranch roads."

Before replying, Gramps looked at Grams, and she nodded her approval.

"Yes, you're welcome to use the ATV. Just check with me or Colton before you do in case we need it, and tell us where you're going. Be sure to use a helmet at all times. And at the quarry, please don't go swimming unless someone else is there."

Ryan beamed with happiness. "Thanks so much. I'm hoping to meet Jace there. I promise to be careful and stay safe."

On the way back to the bunkhouse, Ryan stopped to send Jason a text.

**I'm going to the quarry - wanna meet me there**

The response came immediately.

**I can be there in an hour**

**Cool - see you then**

************

When Ryan pulled to a stop by the quarry, Wiley's car was there. He noticed this time that it had Wyoming plates. He thought it had Idaho plates before, but he couldn't remember for sure. He was both excited and nervous about seeing Wiley again. Wiley was hot, but he was also a little strange.

Wiley sat cross-legged on a beach towel on the diving rock; his abandoned clothing lay on the rock surface below. He appeared to be meditating, deep in a trance. Ryan watched for a few moments, taking in Wiley's muscular naked body for the first time, and then he slipped past behind him to the more open flat rock surface. Spreading out his towel, he removed his shorts and quietly dove into the water, again wearing Toby's black leather thong.

For several minutes, he swam around the shoreline, becoming better acquainted with the features of the pool. The pool was quite clear, and very deep. Only in a few places were there shallower spots that let you stand.

When he returned to the front of the pool and climbed out, Wiley's eyes were open. He smiled at Ryan.

"Nice to see you, Tiger." His eyes swept over the boy's fit young body. A strange look crossed his face as he focused on Ryan's thong. He opened his mouth to say more, and then abruptly closed it. Ryan brushed the water out of his hair.

"I've been here for a while, but I didn't wanna disturb you."

"I appreciate that. Like I said, it's a good place to be alone and think."

"I won't bother you if you wanna think some more."

Wiley slid down off of the rock. "No, I've done enough thinking for the day."

He leaned down and picked up his shorts. Reaching into a pocket, he pulled out a pack of Marlboros.

"I got you some more smokes."

Ryan still had a pack left at the bunkhouse. He hadn't been smoking as much - he didn't seem to need it like he had at home, but he wanted to be appreciative of Wiley's efforts at friendship.

"Thanks a lot, dude. I haven't got any money with me though."

Wiley tossed the cigarettes onto Ryan's towel.

"Don't worry about it. They're on me today."

Ryan smiled. "Thanks very much. So, where do you live in Wyoming?"

The question seemed to take Wiley by surprise. Then he caught on, but replied reluctantly.

"Casper, but I'm up here working for the summer."

Ryan wondered what he did that gave him weekdays off. Maybe he wasn't working on a ranch. Maybe he had a job like Cooter, with odd days off. Ryan didn't pursue it, having a feeling Wiley didn't like answering a lot of personal questions. But Ryan continued the conversation.

"Has anyone shown you the diving spots yet? I learned about them last week, and I've had fun using them over the weekend."

"No, I hadn't discovered them yet. Why don't you show me? We could practice diving for a while."

Ryan took him up along the inner quarry wall to the diving spots Jason had shown him. The two of them spent a half hour using the one at the top. Wiley seemed to be a fun guy, now that Ryan was spending more time with him. He was also starting to sense Wiley might not be totally straight. He couldn't help wondering how big that nice-looking cock would be when Wiley got excited, but he had mixed feelings about whether he'd want to have sex with him.

They heard a four-wheeler pulling into the parking area. Wiley became nervous. Swimming to the shore, he quickly dressed and gathered his belongings.

"I gotta go, Tiger. It's been great talking with you again. Maybe we can do it again later in the week."

He left, using a route which avoided the main entry path. Ryan heard his car start just as Jason walked into the quarry.

"Hey, Tiger. Where did you get the four-wheeler?"

Ryan swam to the edge of the pool and rested his arms on the rock surface.

"I borrowed it from Gramps. Did you see that other guy leave?"

"Yeah. He seemed to be in a hurry. He had Wyoming plates. Must not be from around here."

"I noticed that too. His name's Wiley. I met him Friday when he gave me a ride to the convenience store for smokes, and at the time I thought he had Idaho plates. He brought me another pack today. He seems to be a nice guy."

Jason dropped his towel next to Ryan's. Removing his shorts and shoes, he dove into the pool. Rising to the surface, he shook the water out of his hair and joined Ryan at the shoreline.

"I had a lot of fun last night. I've never stayed out all night like that before."

Ryan smiled. "I had fun too. I'll do it again anytime you want to."

"I brought a joint. Wanna smoke it with me?"

"Sure!"

The boys climbed out of the water and dried themselves with Jason's towel before he spread it next to Ryan's. They sat down, and Jason reached for his shorts to pull a sandwich bag out of his pocket.

"Shit! I've got the weed, but no matches. Do you have any?"

"No, but maybe Wiley left some with the cigarettes he brought me."

He turned and found what he was looking for. Jason lit the joint, took a toke, and handed it to Ryan. Putting the matches into his shorts pocket, he leaned back on his elbows.

"I'm glad you texted me this afternoon. I was thinking about you, and wanted to get together again."

Ryan took a toke and handed the joint back.

"Me too. I thought about you all morning while I was working."

"I see you're wearing the thong again. It has quite a history, you know."

"Tell me about it."

"Well, I know Toby was wearing it the day he lost his cherry to Logan. He wore it the first time he came here too, but I don't know much about that."

They each took another toke.

"How about your own history with it?"

"It was three years ago when I was thirteen. I was down here with my dads for the first time one Sunday, and Toby, Rusty, Austin and Andy were here. After we got acquainted, I was admiring Toby's thong and he let me wear it for a while. While the rest of them were diving, Rusty gave me a four-wheeler ride to a meadow and took my virginity. Later in the day, when only the five of us were here, Austin and Andy screwed me on the diving rock. Then I spent the night with Toby. He screwed me twice, and let me screw him too. That's a lot of sex for one day, and I loved every minute of it."

"I bet you were one sore dude for a few days."

"Yeah, I was, but it was worth it."

They passed the joint again, finishing it. Jason stubbed it out. Ryan sighed happily.

"Good weed. I'm floating in space again."

Jason reached over and pulled a silver cockring out of his pocket. Ryan looked at it.

"Colton has one like that."

"Yeah, he does. He gave me this one for Christmas a couple of years ago."

"Can I look at it?"

Jason handed him the ring. The inscription said LITTLE BRO JACE. Ryan smiled.

"Nice! Did he let you use it on him?"

Jason laughed. "Are you kidding? He used his on me several times, but I only know two guys who topped Colton, and I wasn't one of them. I did use it on Toby, though. Back in those days I wasn't on top very often."

Ryan handed the cockring back. "He's used his on me almost every day since I got here."

"That figures. Did he show you the video of Logan and Toby?"

"Yeah. There's a position they did that I wanna try. I don't know what it's called though. Toby was on his hands and knees, resting on his forearms, and Logan was plugging him from behind."

"Some form of doggie style, probably basset hound. Get in position and we'll do it."

Ryan quickly took off his thong and got into the position he'd described. Jason moved in behind and used his knees to push Ryan's legs out a little further. With one hand on Ryan's back, the older boy slid his shaft inside. Ryan moaned with excitement.

"Oh, yeah! I like it."

Jason began with slow steady strokes. Ryan was in paradise. He clutched at the towel as Jason increased his speed and drove in harder. Then he started pushing back against the older boy's thrusts. Jason chuckled.

"Trying to be a power bottom?"

"What's that?"

"Where you try to be in control even though you're on the bottom."

"Not really. I just want it to go in further."

Jason laughed. "Even with the cockring, there's only so much of it. You're spoiled getting it from Colton every night."

"I'm not complaining. I love this."

Jason screwed him in silence for a while. From time to time, he drove in harder just to hear Ryan's gasp of surprise. He was getting close.

"I'm gonna cum."

Grasping Ryan by the hips Jason drove in hard as Ryan pushed back with equal force. With a grunt of pleasure, Jason emptied himself inside the younger boy.

Pulling out, Jason removed his cockring. Ryan rolled over on his back and watched as Jason wiped it on his towel and dropped it into his pocket.

"I guess your nickname is 'Little Bro'."

"Yeah, I got tagged with that by the guys I was with here the first day, and it stuck. And like I told you, they all had fun educating their little bro, mostly Austin and Andy. To them, I'm still their little bro."

"I think it's a cool nickname."

"I think so too, and I liked being my friends' playmate, and still do, but it sort of labels me. You know the expression, 'Always a bridesmaid, never a bride'? Well, I'm always a little bro and never a boyfriend."

"Maybe you haven't met the right guy yet to be your boyfriend."

Jason smiled softly. "I think I have. He hasn't figured it out yet." He grinned down at his buddy. "And speaking of playmates, you're a lot of fun to fuck, Tiger."

Ryan smiled back. "You're a fun playmate too. Just as much fun as Colton."

Jason laughed. "Has he used any of his toys on you yet?"

"Other than the cockring, no."

"He has a drawer full of dildoes, vibrators and bondage stuff. He used to test them out on Toby. Ask him to tie you up sometime. As adventurous as you are, I think you'll like it."

"I'll do that."

They sat for a long time, both looking out at the water, thinking about their shit, as Wiley had said. Wiley was a strange one. Ryan didn't trust him, and definitely didn't feel a strong urge to become his friend. As friendly as he seemed to be, something wasn't quite right about Wiley.

But what Ryan was really thinking about was Jason. He was becoming very attached to the older boy, and it had little to do with sex. A bond was growing between them that he couldn't define yet. He turned to look at his new friend, who was still looking pensively out at the water. Everything about him was perfect. Everything he did was perfect. Ryan reached out and touched his hand. Jason put his arm around the younger boy and pulled him close.

"I feel it too."

"What do you feel?"

"Love."

************

Although he'd been thinking about Danny all week, the Tuesday afternoon phone call caught him by surprise. His heart beat faster as he answered.

"Hey, Danny!"

"Hey, Tiger."

Ryan waited for Danny to say more, but there was a moment of silence, so he started the conversation.

"I've been thinking about you a lot. I'm really glad you called."

Finally, Danny joined in. "Really? Cool. 'Cause I've been thinking a lot about you too."

"I'd like to see you again... well... if you want to, I mean,"

He held his breath, hoping the hot frat boy felt the same way.

"Yeah, I definitely wanna see you again, Tiger. Actually, that's why I called. I've got a proposal for you. Have you ever been whitewater rafting?"

"No, I haven't, but it always sounded like fun."

"The best is further north on the Salmon River, but the Payette can be fun, and it's closer. My buddies, Bret and Mark, and I are gonna float a section of it on Thursday. We'll have dinner at the roadhouse afterwards. Wanna join us?"

Ryan nearly creamed his shorts.

"I'd love to. I gotta check with the relatives I'm staying with first, but I'm sure they'd let me go."

"Cool! If they need any reassuring references, have them talk to Cooter. He knows all three of us."

Ryan decided to do the checking himself. A quick text revealed that Cooter was at Toby's place, and that he was welcome to come over.

************

Toby met Ryan at the door and introduced him to his parents, and then took him to the living room where he and Cooter were watching TV. Toby turned off the television. Ryan protested.

"I don't wanna interrupt what you were doing."

Cooter pulled him down on the couch between them.

"Don't worry about it. We were just wasting time before dinner. What's up?"

"What do you know about Danny's friends, Bret and Mark?"

Cooter smiled. "They're both good guys." He lowered his voice. "Straight but highly screwable."

Ryan laughed. "Danny invited me to join the three of them on a whitewater rafting trip on Thursday. Since I don't really know them, I thought I'd check with you."

Cooter didn't hesitate. "Do it." He turned to Toby who had cleared his throat to get his boyfriend's attention. "And don't go into your mother-hen act, Toby. If Gramps and Grams are willing to let him go rafting, he couldn't be in better hands. Those guys always talk about doing that and even showed me some pics. They use helmets and life jackets and all that stuff. They're experts."

Any response by Toby was interrupted by his mom.

"Tiger, would you like to join us for dinner? We'd be happy for the opportunity to get to know you better."

"Thanks, that would be great. Let me check with my roommate."

Colton thought it was great too. The evening meal at the bunkhouse was leftovers. There would simply be more for him.

Ryan liked Toby's parents immediately. They obviously loved Toby, and Cooter as well. They also made him suddenly lonesome for his own parents and his twin brother. Toby's mom saw him looking down at his plate.

"A penny for your thoughts, Tiger."

Ryan looked up and tried to smile. "I was just missing my parents and brother."

She smiled and took his hand. "I thought so. I know Grams and Gramps are good people, and Colton is fun, but there's nothing like your own parents. Toby told us you're a twin."

"Yeah. My brother's name is Evan. This is the longest we've ever been apart."

Toby's dad smiled at him. "We'll be glad to adopt you into our family while you're here. But you probably already have enough people telling you what you can and can't do."

Ryan blinked away a tear. "Thanks a lot. I appreciate that. Nobody can have too much family." His dark eyes twinkled, and he smiled slightly. "And to be honest, I feel far from over-supervised."

His dinner companions all laughed. Toby's dad replied. "It's best that way."
