The Preacher's Kid: College and Beyond - 14. Paradise (Part One)

Okay, as far as I’m concerned, Spring semester beats the fuck out of Fall semester. Why do you ask? It basically comes down to the fact that I get every weekend—from Friday night to Sunday afternoon with the most beautiful quarterback in all of college football!

Some of those weekends, Matty would have rehearsals for Tommy, and I would spend the time with Haley. She’s totally become a very cool sister. The only negative is she had already made plans to spend Spring break with her group of friends on a Caribbean cruise, so she won’t be able to go with us to Hawaii. Mom and Dad convinced Mrs. Rogers to let G come along with us. I thought Nate was going to cry from happiness when they gave him the good news.

Speaking of G, he has been so good for Nate. I’ve watched my brother turn into this amazing sort of nurturing soul. The heartfelt kindness and consideration he shows his new boyfriend has spilled over to the rest of the family. He’s so far from the twerpy little shit he used to be—it’s like a miracle from God!

Oh yeah—about a month ago, we were having a big family dinner. Mom had invited Conner and Donald to join us, so I guess Nate felt safety in numbers. As soon as the dinner plates were cleared away from the table, and before Mom could bring out her homemade cherry pie, Nate just up and says—out of the blue—“So I’m pretty sure this isn’t going to be a huge shock to anyone, but I figure I should probably let y’all know that Gleason is my boyfriend—so I guess that means I’m gay—if you have to call it something, I guess.”

I kinda had to laugh at the look on Nate’s face when he realized that not one person reacted to his big announcement. Dad took a sip of his coffee, and calmly said, “What about Simon? I thought he was your boyfriend.”

“No! God, no! Simon is my best friend. I love him, sure. But I love him like I love Eddie and Matty. It’s totally different from how I feel towards Gleason.”

Nate looked around the table. Everyone was enjoying their cherry pie, and Dad said, “Mags, your pies keep getting better and better! This is absolutely wonderful!”

Nate just looked around the table and started to get upset. “Wait a minute! I’ve just spent the last two weeks trying to get up the nerve to make this big announcement, and all you can say is, ‘the cherry pie’s absolutely wonderful?’ Isn’t anyone surprised? Upset? Anything?”

Dad smiled big and motioned for Nate to come to him as he pulled his chair out from the table. He pulled Nate up on his lap, and I thought Nate was going to die from embarrassment! Actually, it was kind of adorable!

“Nate. Why would any of us be upset that you are discovering who you are in the world? I can’t even begin to imagine the conversations Gleason and you had while you were in the hospital dealing with all that you both had to go through. You’ve always had this maturity well beyond your years, so I’m sure that as you realized different things about yourself, you were also helping Gleason through the same issues.”

“Well, it was Gleason who helped me. He was the first to feel kinda confident about himself beating his cancer. He helped me get through the vlog thing. He just couldn’t deal with all the bullying at his old school.”

“Well, I guess what I’m saying is that while I’m proud of you for telling us something that might have been difficult for you to say, I also wanted to show you that it doesn’t matter to us—to any of us. All any of us want for you is to be happy. Lord knows if anyone deserves some happiness in his life, it’s you. You’ve brought so much comfort and happiness to so many people all over the world. It’s a beautiful thing that you’ve finally found some for yourself.”

“Well, to be honest, I think you are the only one I hadn’t actually told yet. I mean, I’ve had a feeling I was gay—or bi—or fluid—or whatever—for a while now. I just needed to make sure before I told you, Dad.”

“What do you mean, you had to be sure?”

“Well, you know, the two people I look up to more than anyone in the world are Eddie and Matty. Part of me worried that I was trying to be like them instead of letting myself be who I really was. But when I met Gleason, and when we—umm—kissed each other in the hospital, I pretty much figured out everything I needed to figure out.”

Dad gave Nate a big hug, causing my little bro to lean his head on his shoulder. “Nate, just so you know, I had it figured out already—with a little help from your mother.”

“Mom?!? You told Dad?”

“No, dear. I didn’t say a word about our talk. I promised you I wouldn’t, didn’t I?”

“Yeah, but—Dad?—How did you know?”

“Son, you are so good at so many things. But acting is not one of them. It was so easy to see in the way Gleason would look at you that he felt something very special about you. But you would always catch him staring at you and return the same goofy look. And, for the record, I know that look well. I gave that same look to your mother for weeks before she would even give me the time of day!”

We all had a good laugh, and Dad kissed Nate on the cheek. “We love you more than life itself, Nate. Now—go eat your pie before I steal it!”

Later, when the three of us got back to the house, I noticed Donald was deep in the overthinking-shit mood we all seem to have at times. “What’s up, D.?”

“Oh, nothing much. It’s weird how I’m constantly blown away by how cool your family is and how mine is just one giant cluster fuck. I mean, If I told my old man that I was in love with the most amazing boy I’ve ever met in my life, he would probably kill me.”

“Don’t you mean the second most amazing boy you’ve ever met?”

“Shut the fuck up! Conner does things to me--and for me—that you will never be able to do! Just sayin’—"

All I could do was smile as Conner took Donald’s hand and told him he needed more practice—and they were gone! God, I love my roommates!

Before I knew it, it was the middle of March, and we were heading to fucking Hawaii for spring break! Matty left Boone early since his afternoon classes weren’t even meeting on Friday! Lucky shit!

It was 7:00 in the morning when we took off, and we hunkered down for the thirteen-hour flight to Honolulu. It wasn’t going to be an uncomfortable flight in the least! Disney dropped the cash for all of us to have first-class seats!

Connor and Gleason sat across the aisle from Matty and me. They were snuggled together and fast asleep about an hour into the flight. Matty got a couple of pics of them. He said they were just too damned cute not to take a pic. At least neither of them had drool rolling out of their mouths!

About an hour later, Matty leaned in to me and started with that cute snore he has when he’s tired. At least it’s not loud—not like Dad’s!

Okay, I have to say there is something about flying first-class that blows my mind. The food is fucking excellent! Before everyone fell asleep, we were served an amazing dinner of prime rib, asparagus, loaded baked potatoes, a tomato-basil soup, and some kind of decadent cheesecake. I think that’s how we were all able to sleep so well—and so soon!

Even though we were in the air for almost thirteen hours, all the sleeping helped the time zoom by. We landed at the Honolulu airport and were greeted by fucking Mickey and Minnie Mouse—who put leis around our necks and led us to a waiting limo. About twenty minutes later, our luggage was loaded in the trunk, and we were off to the resort.

Now I thought the mountains in North Carolina were beautiful—and they are—but holy shit! This place was really was a fucking paradise! The scenery was so amazing, the thirty-minute trip felt like no time at all.

The limo pulled up to the hotel's main entrance, and the doors were opened for us. Man. it was in the upper 70’s, and it felt like all kinds of wrong to go indoors. We filled out the registration stuff and were told that everything we wanted was compliments of the resort. That included activities, spa sessions, dining rooms, and room service.

They had made no plans for us other than this luau and show to welcome us to the islands. We only had a couple of hours before they would take us to our seats. Nate asked the girl behind the counter what a luau was, and she told him it was a traditional Hawaiian show and feast. She smiled at him and thanked him for his cancer vlog. It helped her sister and family through some tough times. Gleason asked if she was okay, and the woman said she was starting a second round of chemo, but everyone was hopeful. I leaned over to Nate and smiled as I told him it was nice that he was the one getting recognized for a change!

Mom, Dad, and the boys were put in a two-bedroom suite while Matty and I were put in a one-bedroom suite down the hall. I loved how Matty wiggled his eyebrows at me, letting me know we were going to be breaking in the room as soon as we got upstairs.

As we were riding the elevators to the tenth floor, Dad suggested we take a short thirty-minute nap so we would stay awake through the show. He reminded us that we were getting the VIP treatment, which meant we would probably be in the front. “It would be pretty embarrassing to nod off and have all the performers see us!” Funny look of disappointment on Matty’s face now!

We were let in to our suite by the cute bellman, and—holy shit—it was a fucking apartment. There was a living room with a huge flat-screen television, a bedroom that overlooked the ocean, and a ginormous bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower, and a fucking full-sized kitchen. Fuck that! I don’t think we’ll be doing any cooking!

Once our bags were unloaded, Matty handed the bellman a twenty, which he gave right back. “I can’t take this, sir. We’ve been instructed that you are guests of Mr. Iger and Disney. Your gratuities are taken care of, as well.”

We thanked him, and he left us alone. The first thing we did was kiss—long, hard, and deep—but Matty pulled away and reminded me that we had to leave for the luau in an hour. If we started something, we wouldn’t have time to finish it. I hate it when he’s right!

We stepped out on the balcony and took in the view of the resort and the ocean! The only thing that disappointed me was that the ocean was really calm—beautiful, blue, and calm. I wanted to try out some surfing. Maybe we can find a way to do some surfing lessons somewhere else on the island.

We decided to take a shower and wash all the traveling off our bodies. We cleaned each other’s bodies and also took the time to stroke a nut from each other. We finished in the shower, dried each other, shaved, and dried our hair.

We each wore a pair of skinny jeans with a school tee-shirt and barely had a minute to spare before it was time to meet everyone in the lobby. Dad went to the concierge desk and asked if we needed tickets for the luau, and she told him she would take us out and seat us at our table.

Whoa! This “guest of Disney” thing was pretty cool. Our table was at the very front—the best seats in the house! Our servers took drink orders and let us know that food will be served in about an hour. We were invited to walk around the area and participate in any of the activities we were interested in.

We each got another lei, but these were more like beads instead of the flowers we got at the airport. They were kinda cool! We walked around, got temporary warrior-band tattoos, did some bark painting, and even got some basic ukelele lessons.

We got back to the table first and found Nate and Gleason drinking some nasty-ass bubblegum-flavored punch. Gleason was sitting across from me, and it was pretty obvious he had been crying. “Dude? What’s up? You okay?”

“Yeah, I’m okay.” [sniffle] “I just—I don’t know—I just can’t understand it sometimes—I mean, there’s Nate, this family, school’s pretty cool, and I’m in freakin’ Hawaii. Why me? Why did I get to be so lucky?”

Matty got out of his seat and walked around the table to Gleason. He wrapped his arms around the kid and leaned into his ear. “G, I know exactly what you’re saying. I still have those same feelings sometimes. You and I are pretty damned lucky, yeah?”

Gleason nodded his head and tried to smile with his quivering lip. “But let me tell you something else. You see, our boys are pretty lucky, too. You and I give them something nobody else in the world can give them. Just like Eddie makes my whole world complete, I do the same for him. Just like Nate makes your world perfect, I promise—you do that for him, too.”

Nate looked up at Matty with tears glistening, “That was probably the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard you say, Matty.” Matty smiled at Nate and tousled his hair. “Matty! Not the hair!”

Matty came back to his seat as Nate took Gleason’s hand in his. “Nate, I think I’m the lucky one. I met you when I should have been down and pissed off at the world, but you gave me all the hope I needed to beat my cancer. I’m the lucky one—you saved my life.”

Great! Now all four of us had tears in our eyes just as Mom and Dad walked back to the table. Jesus! Mom had another floral lei around her neck, a bunch in her hair, and a band of flowers around her wrist! “Geez, Mom! Are there any flowers left on the island?”

“I know! Every time I turned around, someone was putting more flowers on me!”

Our server came and refilled our drinks just as a group of performers came onto the stage. They did this chanting thing and said it was a traditional island welcome. They told us our server would take us to the buffet line when it was our turn. Yes! We were the first to the line!

Oh. My. God! There was so much to choose from! They even had a whole pig—apple in its mouth and all! They also had this gigantic prime rib, a lot of seafood, and tons of local dishes. We all tried some of the local shit, but damn! That whole pig was fucking amazing!

Matty had some ribs, and I had some from what would have been the ham part, but it didn’t taste anything close to the ham I grew up with!

Dad, Matty, and I went through the line a second time. I don’t know about them, but I had to have some more of that pig! As we were finishing our feast, the show was about to start.

Besides the main stage, there was a platform in the middle of the crowd. There was quite a bit of singing and dancing from that spot as well. It was a great idea—bringing the show into the audience like that.

To me, all the dancing looked pretty much the same. I mean, there were different costumes and songs, but it wasn’t my favorite thing. On the other hand, Matty was totally taken in by how the different dances told different stories. He saw each one as entirely different than the others.

There was one part of the show that was hot as fuck—both literally and visually. The fire dance was—well, I should say the lead dancer—was so fucking hot! I mean, I see hot boys all the time. Hell, I sleep with one of the hottest boys on the planet. But this dude—Jesus! He was tall and muscular, and there couldn’t have been an ounce of fat on him! His long, black, wavy hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and the gold jewelry hanging around his neck glistened in the reflections of the flames.

Maybe I’m crazy—or just wishful thinking—but I was pretty sure I caught him looking right at us a couple of times during the dance. It was as if he was saying, “I’m gonna toss this burning stick even higher in the air just for you!”

When the dance ended, I leaned forward and whispered in his ear. “What did you think of that, babe?”

He turned to me and said, “Could that dude have been any fucking hotter?”

“I know. Right?!?”

And before we knew it, they were at the finale of the show. The only thing I found kinda dumb was that they brought out Mickey, Minnie, and Donald Duck dressed in Hawaiian shirts and draped in leis.

The entire crowd was on their feet with a standing ovation, and the cast seemed grateful as they took their bows. As soon as the lights came up in the audience, our server came to the table with another person in tow. “Folks, this is Julie Braughn. She’s the show’s stage manager. Since you are special guests this evening, Julie is going to take you backstage to meet the cast and get a glimpse at some of the behind-the-scenes happenings.”

Matty caught my eye, and I’m pretty sure we both had that let’s-go-meet-the-hottie-fire-boy look in our eyes! Before we knew it, we were walking into the backstage area.

Matty was right at home with all the hustle and bustle that apparently takes place after a show. People were running around, dropping costumes into laundry baskets. People were sitting in front of lighted mirrors and removing their makeup. We were just taking in the scene when from behind us, someone called out, “Hey! Prom boys!”

Dear God! Will we ever live that down? Matty and I turned around, and it was him—hottie fire boy! Thank God for that silly video, right?

“I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else to call you to get your attention.” Damn! He has a pretty gorgeous smile to go with every other perfect thing about him!

“Hi. I’m Eddie, and this is Matty.”

“That’s right. Now I remember. I’m Kai.”

“Kai?”

“Kai. It means ‘from the sea.’”

“Which would explain why you are so awesome with those fire sticks.” Matty chuckled at his humor.

“Cute. This is my night job. My real job is teaching the visitors to the island how to surf.”

“No way! Matty and I were just talking about how we were disappointed that—”

“Disappointed that the resort doesn’t offer surf lessons and how you were going to go into the city to find some?”

Matty grinned as he said, “Pretty and smart! Maybe it’s something in the water here.”

I couldn’t believe how Matty was flirting with Kai right there in the open! Okay. Okay. I would have been flirting, too—if Matty hadn’t beaten me to it! I looked over and saw Mom, Dad, and the boys talking with some of the show’s singers.

“Would you like lessons?”

“Well, yeah—if you’re willing to teach a couple of novices.”

“That’s my specialty—turning novices into surfers.”

“Sweet! When’s a good time for you?”

“Well, tomorrow is Sunday, and it’s my day off from the teaching.”

“We can work with that! Here’s my phone. Put your number in, and we can start texting. Then you can let me know when and where you want Matty and me to show up.”

Kai stepped closer and said in a low voice, “I saw how you boys were looking at me during the fire dance. It was hot as fuck. I was afraid I was gonna pop wood and slide out of that loincloth.”

Matty whispered back, “That would have been worth the price of admission!”

“So—it’s just a little after eight. Still early. Why don’t you boys let me take you into the city? We can hit up a club or two, dance a bit—then see where it goes from there?”

I looked at Matty, and he smiled back. “Sure! That sounds like a lot of fun!”

“Look, I need to drop my costumes in the laundry, and I’ll be back in no time.”

We watched Kai walk away. Damn! What a nice ass! We went over to Mom and Dad and told them that Kai was going to take us into the city and show us some of the nightlife. Before they could even say a word, Kai was walking up and smiling.”

“Hi, folks. I’m Kai Kane. Did you enjoy the luau?”

Mom gushed a bit and answered, “Oh, Kai! It was magnificent! Everyone is so talented, but you—what you did with the firesticks was mind-boggling!”

“Why, thank you so much, Mrs.—”

“Hamilton. Maggie Hamilton. And this is my husband, Clay. And these boys are our son Nate, and his friend, G.”

“So nice to meet you! And thank you! I don’t know if Eddie and Matty told you, but I offered to take them into the city tonight and show them a bit of Honolulu if that’s okay with you.”

Dad shook Kai’s hand and told him that Matty and I didn’t need permission to go out and have a good time. He looked at me and said, “You boys go out and have some fun. We’ll be just fine.”

“Dad, Kai’s also a surf instructor. He’s going to give us lessons in the morning. We might just get a room and stay in the city tonight.”

“Okay, that’s a better idea. But—don’t you need equipment for that?”

“That’s not a problem, Mr. Hamilton. I have a ton of boards and several wetsuits. We’ll be all set.”

“Sounds like a great time! Don’t forget to take some photos and shoot some videos—especially of you boys wiping out! We’ll enjoy that!”

Dad grinned while Nate and Gleason giggled. Mom smacked Dad on the arm and gave him a look, along with a “Clay!”

Kai told us he had to go and get his car and suggested we get what we needed for an overnight in the city. We hugged the rest of the family and made our way up to the room to get a change of clothes, a toothbrush, and shit.

Matty brought up the elephant in the room. “If he wants us to stay with him tonight, you wanna? I mean, I’m good with it—but only if you are.”

“Kinda reminds me of London. I mean, the thought of you and I sharing Kai already has me boning up.”

Matty took my hand and placed it on his hard cock. “Looks like we still think alike, baby! We could be having some fun tonight!”

“Babe, even if we end up getting a hotel room, you and I are gonna have a shitload of fun—with or without hottie-fire-boy!”

Matty grabbed our bag, and we headed down to the hotel lobby. Kai was waiting for us in his car outside the front door. Matty grabbed the front seat (the little shit) and hopped into the back.

Kai told us we would be stopping by his place first. He wanted to change and make sure we all had at least one drink before we went out. Since Matty and I were under 21, he didn’t want us to feel left out.

Kai’s apartment was on the 11^th floor of a highrise that was about five blocks from the beach. He didn’t have an ocean view, but the view of the city was pretty incredible.

The apartment was small. Basically, half of it was open with a living room and kitchen. The other half was a bedroom and bathroom. Kai told us to grab a beer from the fridge while he took a quick shower.

I can say without a doubt that Kai Kane had not one modest bone in his body. He left the door to his bedroom open as he dropped his clothes to the floor, showing the least modest bone—a delicious-looking seven or eight inches of hard cock! Niiiiiice!

Matty said he was pretty sure we were getting flirted with. I told him I thought he was just totally not modest.

We had both finished about half our beers when a naked Kai walked out into the living room, drying himself. “Look, I can tell you that the clubs in Honolulu aren’t much different than any of the clubs on the mainland. I mean, we don’t have to go out if you don’t want to.”

Matty stood up and locked eyes with Kai. He began to unbutton his shirt and said, “Then what do you think we should do if we don’t go out, Kai? Eddie? Do you have any ideas?”

I stood up and pulled my polo shirt over my head. “I have a few. Kai?”

“I’ve been having ideas since I saw you looking at me during the show.”

Led by his bouncing cock, Kai walked up to Matty and me, took us in his arms, and started a hot three-way kiss. While we were kissing, Matty and I undid the tops of our pants and let them slide to the floor. Kai moved his hands from our backs and down to our cocks, already wet with precum.

Kai bent down and pulled Matty’s boxer briefs down. He swallowed Matty’s cock to the root and moaned as Matty pulled me in for a kiss. I heard a loud slurp as Kai let Matty slip out of his mouth. He then pulled my briefs down to the floor and engulfed my cock. I started to give Matty another moan-filled kiss. Shit! Kai had my legs trembling as he worked my cock down his throat.

Kai pulled off of my cock and stood. He took each of our hands and led us into his bedroom, where we were soon rolling around his bed—kissing, stroking, pinching, and moaning.

Matty was nearly out of breath when he said, “Kai—I’m not going to last very long. It’s been over a week since Eddie and I have—”

“Then we should get this first nut over with so you’ll last nice and long when you guys fuck the Hell out of my horny little ass!”

Kai pushed the two of us down on the bed so that we were lying side-by-side. He took my cock first and took it all the way in, so his lips were kissing my bush. He began humming and moaning around my cock, and the vibrations were driving me over the edge! In just a few minutes, with Kai’s hot mouth working my cock and Matty kissing me—I exploded a huge nut down Kai’s throat.

“Awesome, Eddie! Fucking awesome!”

Kai then shifted over and gave Matty the same treatment. As I was kissing Matty, he nearly screamed into my mouth as he dumped another huge load down Kai’s throat. The three of us then kissed, sharing the taste of our combined loads on Kai’s tongue.

Matty then told Kai to stand up on the bed and face the wall. He shifted around, so he was on his knees in front of our hottie-fire-boy. Matty signaled for me to go to the other side, and I grinned, knowing I was going to drive our boy crazy with the rim/blow job he was about to get!

With all the dirty talk and cursing pouring out of Kai’s mouth, you would never imagine that he worked for fucking Disney! I love irony like that! Of course, I guess a lot of people would say the same about my potty mouth and my career choices! Hehe!

“It wasn’t long before Kai shouted out for Matty and me to share his nut. He pulled his cock out of Matty’s mouth, and I hurried over so I was next to Matty. Kay was stroking his cock with his head tilted back. He moaned like a wolf under a full moon, and covered our faces with his nut! Too. Fucking. Hot!

As soon as he finished nutting, Kai leaned over to his nightstand. He pulled out a bottle of lube and poured some into his hand, slathering it all over Matty’s cock. He spread some around his wet hole and immediately began to lower himself on Matty’s harness in a reverse-cowboy position.

“Feels soooo fucking good!” As soon as Kai had all of Matty inside him, he adjusted a bit and leaned back so that he was lying on top of Matty. “Grab the lube, Eddie!”

“W-What?”

“Lube your cock, Eddie! Get in there with Matty!”

I did and looked down at Matty’s cock slowly moving in and out of Kai’s smooth hole. I placed the now-slick head of my cock on top of Matty’s. “Is this what you want, Kai? You want both of us inside you?”

“God, yes! Both of you! Fuck me!”

Kai had his eyes closed, but Matty and I were looking at each other as the head of my cock slid into Kai.

Kai gasped and groaned and held his hand to my chest, asking me to wait for him to adjust. After a minute, he gasped, “Now Eddie, Go slow, though.”

For the rest of my life, I will never forget the look on Matty’s face as he felt my cock slide into Kai—right on top of his! I’m pretty sure Matty got the same look from me. This was the most amazing thing I’ve ever felt before.

Once I had pushed in to the root of my cock, Kai started rocking his hips—his way of telling of us he was ready for some fucking—some major fucking!

Whoah! I don’t think there’s any way to describe the incredible feeling of feeling your boyfriend’s cock sliding against yours while the two of you are in one of the hottest asses we’ve ever seen! I mean, isn’t it ironic that the most intimate thing I’ve ever felt with Matty had to have a third person involved so it could even happen?

Matty and I had worked ourselves into a regular rhythm. He would pull out as I would push in. We kept our movements relatively short, so we wouldn’t pop out. Kai, on the other hand, was moaning and cursing like there was no tomorrow! That verbal thing really gets to both Matty and me, and it wasn’t long before we were moaning and cursing right along with Kai!

After a few minutes, Matty groaned out a loud, “Ooooh Fuuuck!” just as he nutted all over my cock, deep inside Kai. Holy. Shit! That was yet another hot-as-fuck feeling I’d never imagined before! It wasn’t long before I was adding to Matty’s nut, and Kai was cursing up a storm as he exploded all over the place.

I think it took us over twenty minutes to come back down to Earth and untangle our hot and sweaty bodies. Matty suggested we all shower, but Kai informed us that it was a single-person shower stall. We’d all have to take turns.

Well, that sucked! We all ended up taking a quick shower to rinse and cool off. Kai insisted that we all stay together so we could get up early and start our surf lessons. We agreed, and within minutes, the three of us—very satisfied and very tired—fell into a deep sleep.
