Chapter 9
Jason 

Colton was out working when Danny and Ryan got up on Friday morning. A note on the table assured Ryan that sleeping in was okay, and to join him later.

Danny accepted the boy's offer of coffee, but turned down breakfast. Ryan put the frat boy's clean clothes in a plastic bag and walked with him to his SUV. Danny gave the younger boy a goodbye kiss.

"Thanks for a great night, Tiger. You're an awesome guy all the way around."

Ryan smiled. "I'm really glad you stayed. It was a perfect ending to one of the best days of my life. Will I see you again soon?"

"As soon as possible."

Back inside, Ryan took a shower and cleaned up his room, whistling happily. Life was suddenly going very well. He pulled on his work Levi's, made a quick breakfast, and rode the four-wheeler to the alfalfa field to join Colton.

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

Colton was halfway finished moving the irrigation pipe when Ryan joined him. Colton paused briefly.

"Did you have a good night, Tiger?"

Ryan smiled reminiscently. "The best. The whole day was awesome."

The conversation continued intermittently as they worked.

"Did Danny live up to your expectations?"

"Oh, yeah! And I think I lived up to his expectations too. For your information, I took my first cherry last night."

Colton's eyes grew wide. "No shit?"

"Yeah, he was a virgin all the way around. I assure you he ain't no more."

"Tell me more."

"First, I had to talk him into staying, and then into fuckin' me. I broke him in by riding him cowboy style like Logan had me ride him my first time. Then it took some serious talking to get inside him, but eventually he let me do it, doggie style, by the way."

Colton laughed. "Do you realize how far you've come with sex in less than two weeks?"

Ryan grinned happily. "Yeah, I guess I have. I can't get enough of it."

"You're a natural bottom, you know."

"What do you mean?"

"The more you get fucked, the more you want it. Your hot little ass is hungry for cock."

Ryan laughed. "You better believe it."

After the pipe-moving was finished, Ryan helped Colton with some emergency fence repairs before they went back to the bunkhouse for lunch. While they were eating, Ryan got a text from Jason.

**Are you free this afternoon**

**I think so**

**I wanna take you somewhere special**

**Just a minute**

Ryan looked up at Colton. "Am I done for the day? Jason wants to take me somewhere."

"Yeah, I've got some one-man jobs to do this afternoon. And remember, it's like Gramps told you, your friends are more important than your work."

Ryan replied to Jason, who responded that they would use his four-wheeler for transportation. Then he looked up at Colton.

"Thanks, boss."

"Just don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Ryan laughed. "I wouldn't think of it."

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

The route Jason took was familiar, through the Johnson ranch, up a two mile dirt road through the woods, and down to a cabin by a lake. He pulled to a stop and shut down the ATV. The boys dismounted and took off their helmets. Jason looked out at the lake.

"I love this place."

"So does Toby. I've been here once before."

Ryan looked around. The rowboat was gone. Its replacement, an aluminum canoe, rested upside down on sawhorses next to the cabin, and a pile of pressure-treated two-by-six boards waited to be installed on the dock. He pointed to the canoe.

"That's new since Toby brought me up here. Can we take it out on the lake?"

"Sure, but we're gonna take a short hike first. There's something I wanna show you."

Jason led Ryan for a mile trek on deer trails through the woods, identifying animal tracks and flowers along the way in a hushed voice, as if they were in the library, or in a church. Ryan remained silent, quickly realizing how special this place was to Jason. As they approached a rise, Jason suddenly stood still and held his hand back to stop his companion.

Ryan looked in the direction Jason's head was pointed. Only fifty yards away, a small herd of elk grazed, oblivious to the boys' presence. Ryan stood quietly, barely breathing, watching as the animals slowly moved along the path ahead of them. One of the animals looked back in their direction, and apparently decided they weren't part of the normal landscape. Still showing no signs of alarm, the group of animals moved away into the woods, grazing as they went.

Once the elk were out of sight, Jason spoke.

"That doesn't happen often. We were lucky to see them that close. Two things helped us. First, we were moving silently and not talking. Second, wet your finger and hold it up. Notice the wind direction? It's toward us, so they couldn't detect our scent."

Ryan spoke softly. "That was so cool. Thanks for bringing me up here and showing me all these things."

Jason smiled. "You're welcome, but the main reason I brought you up here is still a short distance away."

They continued for another several hundred yards before approaching a summit. Ryan followed Jason up a talus slope to the solid high point above and looked around. From here they could see for miles in every direction. Ryan located the town, the ranch where he lived, Toby's home, and the quarry. He spoke quietly.

"Awesome! This is so cool. Thanks for bringing me here."

Jason found a rock to sit on and invited Ryan to sit beside him. They looked out over the wide valley below for some time before Jason spoke again.

"My uncle Shago brought me up here one day last summer. I don't know how he found it, but it became a special place for me. I've been up here several times since." He paused for a moment. "I hope it becomes a special place for you too."

Ryan smiled softly. "That's not quite what you mean, is it?" He took Jason's hand "You hope it becomes a special place for us - for you and me together - as boyfriends." He squeezed Jason's hand. "It already is."

Jason pulled Ryan's head close and gave him a kiss on the lips. "I hoped you'd say yes."

"No, you knew I'd say yes. Some kind of wall has disappeared, and I can read you like you read me. It's sort of spooky, but I love it."

"It's because of our common Native American heritage. We can talk to Uncle Shago about it more when he gets back. And before you ask, Colton knows we're staying all night. So do Austin and Andy, since I asked for the use of the cabin. And since they know, it means Toby, Rusty and Nate know too. That's the way things work around here."

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

Back at the cabin, they opened all the windows to air the place out. After a quick swim in the lake, Jason pulled hot dogs, buns, potato salad, and apple pie out of the storage compartment of his ATV. Ryan looked at the feast.

"You came prepared. Who made the food?"

"I made the potato salad. Dad James is the pie producer at our house."

"You must have been sure we'd be staying."

Jason smiled. "I knew we'd be staying. If nothing else, it's my four wheeler we rode up here on."

Ryan started a fire in the fire ring to roast the hot dogs. While they ate, the boys sat together on the cabin side of the picnic table so they could share the view of the lake. After they cleaned up, they took the canoe out on the lake and spent a half hour exploring the shoreline.

The dock was unstable, but they sat at the end watching the sun slowly descend in the western sky, talking a little, but mostly enjoying each other's presence in silence. Ryan raised a subject that concerned him.

"If we're boyfriends, should we stop having sex with other guys? Like Toby and Cooter do?"

Jason was quiet for a few moments. "I'm gonna leave that up to you."

"What do your friends do? Since Nate screwed me last Sunday, he and Rusty must do it with other guys."

"Yes, they have sex with other guys, so long as they don't keep it secret from each other. They had a little trouble that way when they first got together, but they soon reached an understanding."

"I think we oughta do the same thing. We're too young to make the kind of promise to each other that Toby and Cooter have made."

"I agree with you. For example, I know you wanna have fun with Colton, and that's cool. I still have fun with Austin and Andy sometimes. I think in their minds I'll always be their little bro."

Ryan thought for a moment. "I went for a raft trip with three of Cooter's friends yesterday. They tagged me 'Little Bro'. I kind of liked it." He grinned at his boyfriend. "Do you suppose Austin and Andy need two little bros?"

A smile spread slowly over Jason's face. "Suggest that to them. It could be a lot of fun."

The sun was slowly setting. The ravens that had been calling to each other headed for their night refuge in the forest. A pair of mallards landed on the far side of the lake and quickly moved into the cattails along the shore. Jason and Ryan stood up and took one last look at the lake. Taking Ryan by the hand, Jason led him to the cabin and closed the door.

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

When Ryan awoke, the sun was above the ridge to the east and shining in the window. Jason still slept. Ryan lay watching the older boy with a soft smile on his face and love in his heart. The night had been wonderful. He couldn't have found a more perfect boyfriend.

Ryan heard a vehicle descending the grade to the cabin. Then there was silence for a couple of minutes. The knock on the door that followed awoke Jason, who quickly got up.

"I think I know who that is."

Pulling on his shorts, he opened the door. Austin and Andy stood side by side, wearing Levi's and black bow ties and nothing else. Towels draped over their arms like waiters, each held a silver platter with two covered dishes. One tray also held condiments, the other a pot of coffee.

"Room service is here..."

"We brought you some food..."

"We've got more to offer..."

"If you're in the mood."

Laughing, Ryan was now out of bed and pulling on his shorts.

"I love it, Jace. You think of everything."

Jason smiled. "Not quite everything. This was supposed to be breakfast down at their house on our way home. They brought it to us instead."

The twins deposited the four plates on the table, removed the covers, and sat down on the far side of the table. The odor of bacon, eggs and hashbrowns filled the room. Removing their ties, they looked up at Ryan and Jason.

"We're guests now, not waiters..."

"Your breakfast is served..."

"You can tip us both later..."

"If you think it's deserved."

Jason laughed out loud. "When did you two start talking in rhymes?"

Austin smiled "We had a section on poetry in English last spring, so we started talking in rhymes in the class. It amused our fellow students, and drove the teacher nuts."

Ryan was impressed. "Cool! Is it hard to do?"

Andy replied. "These were pre-planned, but we've done it enough now that sometimes it happens spontaneously."

Ryan and Jason joined their "guests" for an awesome breakfast. As they ate, Ryan described their hike up the mountain and their afternoon activities. When he mentioned the dock and the pile of boards, Austin replied with a request.

"We're hoping you and Jace will help us today with that project. The pilings and beams are solid, we just have to replace the planks. They're precut to the right length. We brought tools, and it shouldn't take long."

"If it's okay with Jace, it's fine with me. I'll be glad to help."

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

When they were finished with breakfast, the twins put the dishes in a box and stowed it in the pickup. The boys took the tools to the dock and went to work.

It was fairly simple. Working out from the shoreline, Austin and Andy removed the rotting planks a few at a time. Jason nailed the new ones in place, while Ryan hauled the old planks a short distance up the hill and stacked them.

From time to time, Ryan paused long enough to watch Austin and Andy. Perspiring in the warm sun, the movement of their back muscles as they worked turned him on. Jason looked up and caught him adjusting his hardening cock.

"Pretty hot, aren't they."

"No shit."

When the new boards were all fastened in place, Austin drove the pickup down close to the pile, and the boys loaded it with the old planks to be taken away.

It was early afternoon when they finished, and they were hungry. Austin and Andy were prepared for that too. They retrieved an ice chest from the shade behind the cabin, and put sandwiches, apples, potato chips, and bottles of water on the picnic table. As the boys sat down for lunch, Austin pulled a bottle of wine out of the cooler. Filling four plastic glasses, he passed them around.

"I propose a toast. Here's to great teamwork and an awesome new dock."

The boys touched their glasses together and took a sip. The wine was a red blend, a little different than the one Ryan and Colton had shared. Ryan liked it. Wine was better than beer, he decided. As the boys continued with their meal, Ryan remembered his conversation with Jason about nicknames.

"A few days ago, I saw Jace's cockring and learned his nickname."

Austin smiled. "I doubt if you saw his cockring, unless he used it on you."

Ryan grinned. "Yeah, he used it, and he told me all about being your little bro."

Andy replied. "Oh, yes. Our little bro is very special to us. But now that he has a boyfriend, maybe we can't have as much fun with him as we used to."

"Maybe you can. We wondered if you might like to have another little bro."

Austin and Andy looked at each other, broad grins on their faces. Andy turned to Ryan.

"Do you understand what that means?"

Ryan paused for a moment to think about his response.

"You'll fuck me whenever you get in the mood, so I won't forget what it's like to be screwed."

The twins laughed out loud. Andy started a new poem.

"Double your pleasure..."

"Double your fun..."

"Two little bros..."

"Will be better than one."

When they finished eating, Austin and Andy packed the leftovers back into the cooler and put it into the truck. Ryan took a walk into the woods to relieve himself. When he came back, Austin and Jason were sitting on beach towels on the dock, talking quietly. Andy had turned around on the picnic table bench to watch them. Ryan sat down next to him.

"The dock really looks great. That was a fun project."

 

Andy leaned back, resting his elbows on the table. "We've been putting that off for a long time. Thanks for helping get it done."

On the dock, Jason pulled off his cutoffs. Ryan thought he was getting ready to swim until he handed Austin a packet of lube and lay down on his back. Unfastening his Levi's, Austin greased his pole and rolled over on top of Jason, showering him with kisses and grinding his pole against the younger boy's hard abs.

Ryan adjusted his stiffening boner. Andy put a hand on the boy's thigh, stroking it gently.

"Hot isn't it?"

"Yeah, it is."

Finished with the foreplay, Austin reached down and guided his pole into position. With a forward movement of his hips, he penetrated Jason, and then pushed further inside. Jason ran his hands over Austin's muscular back and then moved them down to caress the jock's firm ass cheeks. Andy looked at Ryan.

"Do you wanna do that too?"

"Yeah, I do."

"Come with me."

Taking Ryan by the hand, he led him into the cabin. Pulling the younger boy close, he caressed his back and kissed him gently. Ryan returned the kiss as he unfastened his shorts and let them fall to the floor.

Gently pushing Ryan onto the bed, Andy stripped off his Levi's and greased his pole. The boys grinned at each other, both excited about what they were going to do.

As Ryan shivered with anticipation, Andy moved onto the bed. Leaning over, he engaged Ryan in a passionate kiss. As the two played tongue tag, Andy dropped down closer and braced himself. Without breaking off the kiss, he entered the boy.

Ryan squirmed and moaned with excitement, pushing against Andy as the older boy slid his shaft in balls-deep. Andy grinned.

"You really like this don't you, Tiger?"

"I love it."

"You're gonna make a great little bro."

Andy began to move his pole inside his young companion, probing with slow, steady strokes. With Andy's weight on his knees and forearms, Ryan was free to move a little. He tightened his muscles and pushed back with each thrust. Andy leaned over and kissed the boy again.

"You're one hot kid, Tiger. Everything they say about you is true."

Ryan smiled. "I'm glad to hear the guys like me."

Andy laughed. "The 'guys' are gonna be lining up to fuck you."

Andy had all the time in the world, and he made good use of it. As his sensitive shaft stimulated itself inside Ryan, the boy's roaming fingers sent chills through the rest of his body. It was one of the most sensual experiences he could remember. When he finally blew his load he nearly passed out from overstimulation. Perspiring from the extended effort, he leaned over and kissed Ryan again.

"That was so hot, Tiger. Thanks for making it so good for me."

Ryan grinned. "I loved every minute of it."

Austin stood in the doorway watching and stroking his pole.

"Is he as good as Jace says he is?"

Andy pulled out and stood up.

"Even better."

"My turn now?"

Andy grinned down at Ryan and then pulled on his Levi's.

"What do you think, Tiger? Wanna let him do it too?"

Ryan thought for a few moments before putting his hands behind his head and smiling up at the twins.

"Twice as much pleasure, four times the fun. Having two bros to fuck you, would please anyone."

Andy smiled. "Good job, Tiger." He looked at Austin. "He's all yours. I'll be back for more later."

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

Jason pulled to a stop in front of Ryan's bunkhouse home. The boys took off their helmets. Jason looked towards his boyfriend.

"Did you have a good time?"

Ryan put his helmet into the storage compartment. "It was all great. Last night was the best. Thanks for taking turns with me."

"We get more fuckin' in that way."

"I like the way you think. And being a little bro for Austin and Andy is gonna be a lot of fun too."

Jason smiled. "They couldn't get enough of you."

Ryan reached for Jason's helmet and put it on the seat.

"I want you to stay for dinner."

"Will it be okay with Colton?"

"Yeah, he already told me I could bring friends home. You better text your dads that you're staying all night too."

"I already did."

Ryan looked closely at his friend. "I hope you don't know everything that goes on in my brain."

"No, only important information that you'd share anyway pops into my head. It's not like a Vulcan mind meld."

Ryan looked relieved. "Good. I pick up a few things from you too, but not like you do with me."

"You'll pick up more as we get to know each other better. It's like being aware of bird sounds and things like that. Once you know what to listen for, you hear it more often."

Jason followed Ryan into the bunkhouse where Colton was preparing dinner. Colton looked towards the door.

"Hey, Ryan. Welcome home. Hi, Jace. Are you staying for dinner?"

"Yeah, if you've got enough for me."

Ryan spoke up. "Can my boyfriend stay overnight with me?"

Colton chuckled. "I figured you two would get there soon. Sure, he can stay overnight. Whenever he wants to."

Over dinner, Ryan told Colton about the expedition, including the hike, the delivered breakfast, and fixing the dock. The more personal details were omitted. After the boys both took showers, they headed for Ryan's room. Colton grinned at them.

"Have a good night, and don't do anything I wouldn't do."

Ryan laughed. "Since there's not much you wouldn't do in bed, I'm sure we'll be able to follow that advice."

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

The abandoned bunkhouse on his uncle's ranch was a good temporary place to live. There was no electricity or water, but he was making do with bottled water and an old Coleman stove. The mouse-eaten mattress on the floor served for sleeping. The old cattle watering trough was sufficient for washing up, and the outhouse was adequate, though the seat was becoming dangerously weak. So far, no one was aware of his presence.

His battery-operated radio kept him informed about the events of the outside world; his throwaway cell phone didn't have any internet capabilities. He didn't understand why there wasn't an APB out for him, but it was giving him more time to get ready.

The boy was the right one for his purposes. If possible, the kid should become more comfortable around him. Taking advantage of his sexual interest might help, but it would defeat his purpose. If all else failed, he had means to immobilize the kid for the short time it would take to complete his mission.

His father's old hunting knife lay on the mattress beside him. He picked it up and checked its edge again. He'd sharpened it well, and it was the right tool for the job.
