Golf Balls and Boy Balls - 9. Chapter 9 The Meeting

THE MEETING

I was afraid that Corbin and Dillon would be bored being around all these people they didn’t know, but everyone wanted to talk to the cute young men. Everyone wanted to give them advice about learning to ski. We decided it was time to head back to the house and get ready for dinner. With three showers all going at once and all of them with two horny boys meant that the hot water turned chilly quickly. We got clean and our hair washed and then took our fun to the bed. I’m sure the others did the same, or the cold shower would have put a damper on their fun pretty quickly. We decided to sixty-nine to speed our loving, we didn’t want to be the last two dressed and ready to go. No doubt the last two will be getting a razing.

Corbin and Dillon were the last two ready and we did start the teasing. Dillon put a stop to the teasing when he said. “Hey don’t blame us if you guys are premature ejaculators.” He hugged Corbin.

Corbin held up the keys. “Are we going in the blue Escalade or the white one?”

“We didn’t drive the white one. We drove the beast. You should see that thing.” Adam threw the keys to the cuda to Corbin and Corbin threw him the Escalade keys. “Jim and I will take the Escalade and you guys check out the beast.” We locked the doors and went out through the garage. When they saw the cuda they were all over it. Opening the hood and looking in, Hank said. “Damn this thing has some awesome performance equipment. I have never seen so much chrome. The looks of a cuda but the guts of a brand new car with all the updated performance gear. I want to drive on the way back.” They worked it out so that they all got to drive at one time or another.

Dinner was wonderful. We were chatting about everything imaginable. When we got back to the house, we watched a movie on the gay and lesbian channel called ‘Latter Days’. Paul said that Aaron guy is almost as cute as Adam and looks a lot like him and check out the Christian dude. He looks a lot like Jim.

“It true they really do look a lot like our buds, especially if Jim had long hair they would.”

“You’re not Mormon are you Adam? I know you are not hesitant about sex and you chased Jim instead of him chasing you.” Dillon said.

I could tell he was trying to set up some joke, but Adam defused it with. “Not me. I come a lot closer worshiping in the church of moron than the church of Mormon.

“With their views and treatment of gays, I think they are the church of moron. Why are so many so called Christians so hateful to us?” Paul asked.

“Come on guys let’s change the subject. Religion and politics are always depressing topics to me. I hate talking about them both.” Several of us were yawning. “Guys, we have the guys that are running our companies coming by somewhere around 10:00 AM. You guys can take either boat out, or both of them if you want. They both need gas, so take them to the marina they won’t take your money so don’t even try to pay for the gas. Their billing is automatic. If you are going skiing you might want to ask Petey if he wants to go, if he is not already out with someone. That kid loves it.” I turned back around. “Oh, I forgot to tell you if you decide to go fishing make sure your fishing license is up to date. They check it often on this lake.”

Adam and I were just cuddled talking quietly. “Jim, there is something that I have been thinking about lately.”

“What is that? Did it give you a headache?” I teased.

He thumped me on the chest. “I’m serious. My dad took your family’s death very hard. He was depressed for a long while afterward. He didn’t even go to work for awhile. Max and them called for me to come home from school, it was so bad.” He sighed. “What I’m going to ask might seem strange, but I have been thinking about it a lot. “Some of the things he did and said during that time, caused me to wonder if maybe he was having an affair with your mom, but the more I think about it now, I think it might have been your dad.”

“You mean you think our dads were gay and having an affair?”

“Well, gay or bi or something. A few times I heard him crying at night when I went to check on him. I heard him call your dad’s name a few times. I mean, Harmon is not a common name.”

“No, it isn’t. No one called him Harmon except your dad. My Grandmother did too until she died. From what they told me that with him being Markus Harmon Carter IV, while his grandfather was alive Mark and Markus were taken and Harmon was chosen. Back to your question, I do know he and my mom had a few arguments about his travel. It was usually when he went to Florida. I kind of thought he might have a woman there. I didn’t think anything about it at the time, but now that you asked. I know mom asked something about Butch a couple of times.” I got up on my elbow. “What caused you to think about this now?”

“You know that old man I was talking to at the ski place this afternoon, Mr. Peterson?”

“Yeah, he was a really good friend of my dad’s.” I said.

“My dad’s too. He told me today that seeing you and I together was like seeing Butch and Mark thirty or forty years ago. His exact words were. ‘Two peas in a pod. You could never see one without the other.’ That got me to thinking and the clincher that got me on this train of thought was something my mother said one of the few times we were all together right before my dad’s heart attack, was, ‘Go find another Harmon and leave me alone.’ At the time, it didn’t make much sense and I had forgotten it totally until just now. Doesn’t it almost fit together?”

“You know that when I came out to my parents, I was like eleven or twelve, my mother did blame my dad. My dad reassured me often that it was not something I should be ashamed of and that I should always be careful. One thing he said several times was. ‘When you find the man for you, love him with all your heart, don’t let society and what people think and say destroy that love.’ Right now that sounds like he was saying that happened to him, but I didn’t put that together at the time.”

“My dad was the same with me, he was always supportive and always told me to never let what other people thought guide me. I think our dad’s were boyfriends. At least when they were kids they were.” Adam said with confidence.

“I bet John and Joe will know if they were still lovers. Let’s not say too much, but let’s see if we can’t find out how much they know.”

“Sounds good to me. Hold me Jim, I’m so sleepy now.” We cuddled and I think both of were asleep quickly. I know I was.

We got up late, but all six of us went running. We only ran about six miles, but we had all built up a good sweat. We saw that it was already 9:30 AM, so the others said they would just rinse off and then get dressed for skiing. Adam and I showered after we washed each other’s hair we were both rock hard. I got on my knees and started loving Adam’s dick with my probing finger helped him fill my hungry mouth with his marvelous seed. Damn I love the way he tastes. It took him a couple of minutes before he got on his knees and had me in heaven with his loving mouth on my cock. It didn’t take long before I was filling his mouth with my seed. We were almost dressed when the phone rang telling us that John and Joe were on their way to the house.

We were happy to see that Joe and John were dressed much like we were, with shorts and casual shirts. They were wearing athletic shoes and we were wearing sandals. We sat around the table in the living room with bottles of water since we didn’t think to make coffee or have anything else to drink.

After the pleasantries, John started the conversation. “We know our request for a meeting was a little bit of a shock to you guys and I’m sure all kinds of things popped into your heads. Let us assure you that we think you will both come away from this meeting happy.” He paused and Joe picked up the conversation.

“Both of you wanted to sell the majority of your stake in your respective companies. You both said you had no desire to run the companies yourselves. We were both prepared to try to make that happen, but we couldn’t do it without having the companies buy the vast majority of the stock and that would have weakened both companies. We have an alternate proposal that if you embrace the proposal will prevent the drawbacks and make everyone happy.”

John picked up the conversation again. “One thing you boys might not know is that your fathers were making plans to merge the two companies. They were almost ready to announce the merger when your father was killed.” He looked at me. “Butch wouldn’t proceed after that. He said it wouldn’t be the right thing to do. Joe and I were heavily involved in the merger considerations and so when you boys wanted to offer us the companies, we thought it would be a good time to offer you the opportunity to do what your fathers wished and merge the two companies. The two companies are very much complementary businesses. The two companies have a net worth that is almost exactly equal. We propose that we merge the two companies. Your fathers had picked the name The Carter West Group. If we proceed with the merger you boys would end up holding about sixty percent of the new company, so the two of you would own the company, but it wouldn’t be separate companies. It would be the same company. I know we have thrown a lot at you this morning, but we would like for you to discuss it and think about this proposal.

We looked at each other and just nodded. Adam spoke first. “I think Jim and I both think that satisfies our desire to not have to worry about the day to day activities of the company. We have plenty of money, so that isn’t something we are concerned about. I think you can proceed with the merger. How long will it take before this happens if you go ahead with the merger?”

“We don’t think it will take all that long. Your fathers had already decided how to merge the two companies. We have verified that both companies have virtually the same net worth. You both own sixty percent of your respective companies, so you would own thirty percent each of the new company. The financials are such that West International stock will be a one for one swap and Carter Enterprises stock with receive one point eight-nine-six shares of the new company. The end result will be that Jim will end up owning two hundred eight some odd shares more of the company. With both of you holding over fourteen million shares that is insignificant.”

“I will give any shares I have more than Adam to charity. Adam and I will be equal in every way.”

Adam grinned. “Why don’t we both contribute all our shares over fourteen million to a foundation that could handle all our contributions? Then we can keep it funded as needed. We both get so many requests from charities it will actually be a blessing to us.”

We held hands and looked at each other. “So that seems to be settled. I do have one concern. Isn’t one of you giving up a CEO position in this new merger arrangement?”

“Yes, but John is planning to retire in about three years. He will be our CEO until retirement, then, basically you boys will choose another to run the company. I am obviously hoping that I do well enough in the president’s position that I am strongly considered for that position at that time. That was pretty much what your fathers were planning to do.”

“One other thing we thought we needed to work with you boys on is a management team for you. You boys are currently handled separately by firms that the two companies have hired. You have legal representation now, but you also need a financial management team. They should also manage this new charity trust that you discussed. We think this firm should be ideal for your combined assets. You can keep the two separate teams for your individual assets.” Joe handed us another document. Another thing we think we should do is spin off some of our non-core businesses. Most of them are our Agricultural businesses. You can sell them off, but we think the better choice is to keep them. You can form another corporation and let them run as they are currently. They are already basically managed by region and each state’s land is owned by its own corporation for tax and regulation reasons. Of course you would want to change the names to work with the holding company’s name.

“Okay, can you go ahead and make it happen?”

“Sure we can take care of that.”

John added. “We were counting on you going along with that recommendation and we already figured that in the financials. We were thinking something on the line of A and J Enterprises as the holding company name. What do you think?”

“That’s fine; I think it sounds fine, you agree Adam?”

“Fine by me.” Adam said.

“Now that this business is over, Adam and I have been talking and we would like some straight answers from you two.” I looked at Adam and continued. “We seem to think there might be more than just a merger between our fathers. Tell us what you know about or father’s friendship.”

John and Joe looked shocked but nodded to each other. “Your fathers have been lifelong friends. They did a lot of traveling together. Both your mothers knew they were more than just friends. This cabin and the house in Florida that you now own were the two places they could be together the most at. It wasn’t common knowledge; I think your mothers and the two of us were the only people that knew for sure. I think your fathers would be proud that their sons are able to live the life they could only dream about.”

“Thanks, I think Jim and I had come to the conclusion they were more than just friends. I never want to be away from my Jim and sometimes I have to catch myself from getting depressed knowing that in a couple of months I will have to go to school and won’t see Jim for a lot of the day. I don’t know if I can do it or not.”

“You will be fine. Just remember he will be waiting for you at the end of the day. You boys will adjust; you know that as well as I do.” He got up. “If you don’t have any more questions for us, we need to get going; we have a lot to do in a short period of time. This needs to happen with as little intrusion from the outside as possible. We thank we have that taken care of, but you never know.”

“Thanks for coming to talk to us about this and we look forward to see what happens with The Carter West Group.”

“Oh, just so you know. Your use of the corporate aircraft will be grandfathered in. Any ex-CEO of either company will have full use of corporate aircraft and facilities.”

“I almost forgot. Where is the house you said we own in Florida?” Adam asked.

“It is in Key West, it comes complete with a nice yacht that may be owned by one or the other of you, for some reason this is a bit confusing. Both are in codicils of the wills and are not directly listed as assets in the will but are attached to another firm.”

“Cool, we will have to go check it out soon.”

“When you are ready we will get everything ready for you.”

As they were leaving, we heard the boat approaching. We went around back and everyone came running up to us. “I fucked up. I am in deep shit.” Paul was managing to get out between sobs.

“What happened?”

“We’re sorry, it was our fault.” Dillon said. “We didn’t realize that Paul’s brother was around and he saw Corbin and I kissing.” He bowed his head. “We’re so sorry.”

“He started screaming at Paul for hanging around with the faggots and Paul told him he was gay too and to leave his friends alone. The he hit Paul with his fist and Hank stepped in and beat the shit out of the guy.”

Paul’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID. “It’s my dad.” He opened the phone. “Hi dad.” The look of shock was apparent. A tear rolled down his cheek followed by several others. “You can’t mean that dad.” He was bawling now. “You used my trust fund for that. It’s mine.” He hung up. “He told me I was no longer his son. He is trying to take my car, but he used my trust fund money to pay for it. He can’t do that can he?”

“I don’t know. Where is your car?”

“It is in the garage at Adam’s house.”

“That’s good, it is safe there.” Adam pulled out his phone and dialed. “Max, make sure no one gets to Paul’s car. Is it still in the garage?” He smiled. “We will explain later.” He hung up. “Your car is safe.”

“He thinks Adam is my boyfriend and he is pissed at you. He told me I was way over my head running around with those rich faggots.” He bowed his head. “I was relieved that he didn’t put Hank as the one in my pants.”

“Let’s call Jack Adams. It sounds like we might need some legal advice.” We called Jack and told him what we knew so far. He said that Paul should leave his car where it is. He suggested we go home and he will talk with Paul’s parents. He will have a better understanding of next steps after that. He suggested that Paul stay at Adam’s until farther notice. Hank looked worried.

“Don‘t worry Hank, there is no way I will let them do anything to you. I love you, but until this is past us, we shouldn’t be seen together.”

Hank looked relieved. They took their time showering. Hank and Paul were considerably longer than the rest of us. That was understandable. Adam called Max again and told him to set a bedroom up for Paul he would be staying there for awhile.

On the way home, Adam and I were quiet most of the way. Almost to the house he said. “Since I am emancipated, I can’t let Paul use me as a shield. I can let them assume, but that is as far as it can go. I think Paul understands that, but we need to make sure he knows.”

I could tell something was bothering Adam. “Do you want me to talk to him?”

“Great, I was going to, but it always sounded harsh when I thought about it. We need to make sure Hank doesn‘t go with him back to my house either, knowing his dad, they are probably watching my house.”

When we got home, we told Hank we would take him home and Dillon and Corbin would take Paul back to Adam’s house. When I talked to him about Adam not being able to pretend to be his boyfriend, he already knew that. He said he was going to deny having a boyfriend, which was essentially true since Hank was no longer a boy. We got a call from Jack. He said Paul’s father was not going to cooperate and was being a real jackass. He said he needed to get with Paul and get a dollar as a retainer so that he could represent him. He warned us that it was likely that Paul’s father was likely to do about anything; he didn’t seem to have anything good to say about Adam and actually threatened him.

We called the security team and warned them that Adam had been threatened. When we got to Adam’s house, Jack was already there. We started in together. When a car pulled in fast and screeched to a halt. Paul’s father jumped out of the car shouting at Adam. Mark intercepted him quickly and busted his nose and dented his hood in the process. Once he had him in handcuffs, he called the police.

The whole time, he was cussing Adam calling him a fucking faggot. Adam had enough and said to Mark. “Gag that asshole. Look Mr. Samson, I am not involved with your son, except as a friend. I have a boyfriend and we don’t mess around. I promise you this, I will do everything I can to help Paul get out of the hostile environment he is living in, but as far as I know, and he told me he doesn’t have a boyfriend. Now you can go with the police and try to explain why you were trespassing and threatening me.” Adam went in the house where Corbin and Dillon were restraining Paul. He wanted to go after his father. They finally were able to convince him it was in his best interest to let others take care of this for him.

I stayed outside until they hauled Mr. Samson off and thanked Mark for his quick response. I walked in with Jack and before he said anything else he had Paul give him a dollar as a retainer, so that he could represent him. He explained to Paul that anything he told him now fell under attorney client privilege and so he was protected. Adam and I talked and decided that we would invoke our founding member privileges and have the Samson membership to the club revoked. I made the call and told them Paul was still a member, but would be a new membership soon. I told them that none of the Frank Samson family should be allowed on the premises.

It was determined that Jack should proceed to have Paul emancipated. Since we had some time on our hands Adam and I went to the DMV. We took one of the certified copies of his emancipation. He took his test and passed with flying colors. He is now a licensed driver. I think it really surprised the DMV folks that a Texas boy waited until almost eighteen before getting his driver’s license.

Over the next couple of weeks, the police came to talk to Adam and I both. They talked to us in separate rooms. It appeared that Paul’s dad had talked them into investigating both Adam and I for having sex with Paul. I was livid that the cops would investigate us just on that man’s say so. I was quickly on the phone to Jack; he said to not say another word until he was there. When Jack got through putting the police in their place, he started in on the chief and Adam and I both got an apology. Paul and Hank were doing a good job of staying apart.

A month after the incident at the lake, Paul’s hearing was ready to be decided. Jack said this was not nearly as likely to happen as Adam’s was. He cautioned Paul not to go to the club until the day before his hearing. He was to go with Adam and I and Hank was to give him a job and then he should leave. Only spending long enough to complete an application and be hired. We had long since identified the people Frank Samson had intimidated to watch for Paul.

When we arrived in the courtroom, we had two bodyguards with us and a couple already in the room. Paul’s father and his attorney were at one table and Jack and Paul at the other. Once the court was called to session and everyone seated the judge was refreshing his mind with his notes from the bench. It was long three or four minutes of total silence. When the judge finally spoke he identified the parties.

He asked Paul why he was petitioning the court for emancipation. Paul said. “Your honor, my father found out I was gay and told me I was not welcome in his house any longer. He threatened and tried to attack my friend Adam West.”

“That’s bullshit, I didn’t attack anyone.”

“Mr. Samson you are in contempt. That will be a thousand dollar fine. Counselor, I caution you to make sure you client doesn’t have another outburst in my court or you will be fined as well.”

“Yes, your honor.”

“I see here the arrest report of Mr. Frank Samson, is that the incident you are referring to young man?”

“Yes sir.”

“I see. Let me ask you Paul, do you think you can support yourself if I grant this petition?”

“Yes sir I do. As you know I have a trust fund, but also, as of yesterday, I have a job at the country club. I was working part time for Adam and Jim as a part time gardener. They were just giving me the job so that I would have one, I wasn’t needed there. Then I thought of the country club. I love the place and it would be an ideal job.”

“What about when you go back to school?”

“Mr. Jackson hired me, but insisted that during school I work less than twenty hours a week. He also insisted that I kept a B average.”

“It sounds like he has your best interest at heart.”

“I thought so too your honor.”

“He’s probably fucking his little ass.”

“That’s another thousand Mr. Samson and Mr. Davis; you have a thousand as well. Keep it up and I will start adding jail time to the fines. I will have none of that in my courtroom.”

“It won’t happen again your honor.” Frank’s attorney said but didn’t sound convincing at all.

“Back to your trust fund, I see here that the fund was established by your maternal grandfather at his death. Is that correct?”

“Yes, your honor.”

“This audit report from the trust shows a current balance of $789,663.12. I also see there was a withdrawal of $180, 000.00 a week before you were able to put a hold on this account. Did you make this withdrawal?”

“No sir, the auditor said my parents made this withdrawal.”

“From the wording of the trust, this was set up for you when you reached adult hood, it has a clause that should your legal guardian not be able to support you, they could have a fifteen hundred dollar a month stipend. It was clear that this was not intended to be a drawing account for your parents, but they seem to have abused that from all that I can see.”

“That is none of your business. I won’t have you sticking your nose into my business.”

The judge banged his gavel. “That’s another thousand each and a night in jail each.”

“I see that six weeks ago thirty-six thousand and change was withdrawn, I have pretty much figured out all the other changes against this account. Mr. Samson, can you explain that one?” He was looking at Frank.

“We bought him a car for his birthday.”

“Was that the 2007 Mustang you are wanting returned?”

“Yes your honor.”

“You charged your son list price for a two almost three year old car that must have been sitting there for over two years because no one else wanted it.” Frank started to say something, but the judged waved his hand. “I don’t even want to hear you answer, it will just make you look worse than you do now. Paul did you bring the car and the keys like I asked?”

“Yes sir.” Paul handed the keys and parking ticket to the bailiff who came to take them.

“David, give those to Mr. Samson.” He waved a document that I assumed was the audit document. “Mr. Samson, you have stolen fifteen hundred dollars a month from your son for almost three years. You have taken money from his trust for his school tuition and several other things. He is your son and YOUR responsibilities not his grandparents. You have no right to take that money. Unfortunately they were foolish enough to allow you to be trustee, but I intend to fix that problem today. My calculations say that you have withdrawn $472,652.89 over the time period that you had access to this account. I am ordering you today to repay that along with interest and I am going to estimate that to be ten percent. We will just round it up to fifty thousand interest. I am ordering you to have a cashier’s check in the amount of $522,652.89 No, just because I can estimate the monies earned as I see fit, make that $525,000 payable to The Paul Frank Samson Trust on my desk by three PM today.”

“Your honor, my client can’t put that kind of money together on such short notice.”

“Very well, I will draw up the documents to freeze the assets of Mr. Frank Samson and all the assets of Samson Ford. Once we decide what to seize to pay your court settlement, you will be informed. Bailiff please take Mr. Frank Samson and Mr. Davis into custody.”

The Bailiff started handcuffing Mr. Samson. He was desperately talking to his attorney. Mr. Davis spoke. “Your honor, if my client can have the check this afternoon can we dispense with the seizure of assets.”

“Very well; Mr. Samson will stay in lockup until the check for the trust and the check for his contempt fines are received. I will count this time as his jail time. You and Mrs. Samson should get moving, at three PM I will assess late fees to this judgment.”

Frank was taken away and Mrs. Samson and Mr. Davis left to get the money.

The judge looked at Paul. “Mr. Samson, I know this has been an ordeal for you. I am going to grant your petition. I am also going to ask that you appoint two adults to help you administer your trust. It is not that I don’t trust you, but until you are twenty-one, I think you would be better off having a couple of people to make sure you don’t buy something on a whim unless it doesn’t take a withdrawal from your trust. I have asked Mr. Carter if he would be willing to be one of those adults and he agreed. He also suggested your new boss, Mr. Jackson as the other adult. Do you have a problem with either one of them being your watchdog so to speak?”

“No sir, I am perfectly happy with that.”

“I suggest we start with two thousand a month as a starting stipend. From that amount, I think you should be able to live and pay for your school. If that proves to be less than you need, I am sure Mr. Carter and Mr. Jackson will adjust as needed.”

The judge signed all the papers necessary for Paul to be considered an adult. He assured Paul that his parents would be out of his trust and all should be taken care of this afternoon, if not his father would be in jail until it was. His attorney would be very interested as well because if the money was not at the court by three he would be in jail as well.

The next three weeks soon settled into a more routine environment.

The boys moved into the garage apartment and were so excited about having their own place. I have to admit it was a cool place. Tobin and his lady were getting settled into their new house. It too was a place they were extremely proud of and couldn’t believe they had such a place to live. The running track around the property was marvelous. It was impossible to see unless you were right on top of it. Cushioned and designed to drain quickly, it was fantastic. We were to move in as soon as we got back from Paris. The merger was almost complete. We noticed that the plane we were flying on today had already been re-painted with the Carter West Group. Our trip to France was uneventful. Our security team flew with us. By now we had seen them all and it makes it a lot easier to spot them these days.

We slept most of the way over. Shelby avoided most of our questions, but did verify that both she and my mother knew of our dad’s love relationship. She told us they were boyhood lovers, but those times were different. They both felt they had to be married. She said that my mom told her when I came out that she would see to it that I never had to hide who I loved.

We had a ball in Europe. We even saw Shelby a few times. We had dinner with her twice, but for the most part we were on our own. If we had known we would be spend so little time with her we would have come over sooner.

We got back home and everything had been moved. We were officially in ‘our house’. Everything that anyone thought we might ever need or want was either taken to the new house or put into a storage vault that could hold it all. Both of our existing houses were going up for sale next week.

We were sitting by the pool Dillon came up. “Do you guys mind if I skim the pool now, or should I come back later?”

“Now is fine. Where is Corbin? Don’t you guys usually do this together?”

“Here he comes. He has been trying to set up his class schedule.”

“So have you guys decided what you want to take this semester?”

“Mine is pretty easy. I am just following the syllabus. I know what I want to do, so it is easy. Corbin on the other hand doesn’t know exactly what he wants to do, so he has to think about what he wants to take.”

“Cool, what have you decided you want to do?”

“We both love horses, I am going into veterinary medicine and specialize in Equine medicine.” He grabbed Corbin. “This lug doesn’t want to be a vet, but wants to do something around horses too. He is our little boy lost.” They kissed quickly and then looked at Adam and I laughing. “If I didn’t know you two better, I would think you are laughing at us. Since I know neither of you have a mean bone in your body, what is so funny?”

“Guess what we are doing starting tomorrow?”

“Horseback riding?” Corbin asked with a raised eyebrow.

“No we are going to look at racing farms, our search firm has narrowed it down to four and we are going to go look at them. We want to get into horse racing. Think you guys would like to go with us?”

“Oh hell yes. Let’s go ask papa if we can have the day off.”

“You will need the week off. These are in Kentucky and California. We will have David set up the arrangements. If Tobin has a problem, tell him I said to hire some folks to cover for you two.”

“Tobin says you guys are a bad influence on us. How are we ever going to learn if you two pay us too much and let us get by with little to no work? He is right you know.”

“Maybe, but we are looking out for your and our future this time. Your goals and ours seem to come together again. When we buy a horse farm we will need good people to look after our animals. Besides this trip will be a lot more fun with you guys along.

The trip to Kentucky gave Dillon and Corbin their first ride in a private jet. They couldn’t believe the difference. They had both flown before, but the cattle car they rode in before and this airplane were very different. This just happened to be one of Carter West’s newest planes. When we landed and were met by a very long white limo. The security team split up to the two Hummers that would accompany us. Clark the representative that was showing us the properties was nice enough, but was all business. All he wanted to talk about was the properties that they have found. Not only that, but he was pressuring us before we had even seen the first property. I mean this guy reminded me of a snake oil salesman back in the old west days. Adam and I exchanged looks.

“Excuse me Clark, but is there someone else that can show us these properties. I don’t want to be mean, but I find your high pressure sales pitch offensive and unless there is someone else to show us around, I’m afraid our business is complete and we will be heading back to Houston.”

“I’m sorry Mr. Carter. I was told that you gentlemen wanted to find a suitable horse farm and just get it done quickly without fanfare. I thought you wanted to hit the ground running. I assure you I can get you someone else or I can work at a slower pace if you wish. I apologize for my arrogance in thinking that I knew what you wanted to hear.”

Adam and I exchanged glances again and I nodded for Adam to take it from here. “Okay Clark, Jim and I will give you another chance. To be honest, we pretty much know what each of these farms offer. Because your firm did such a good job of making a spreadsheet with all the criteria and rating each of the farms, we have a good idea of what we want. We do however, want to see the farms and get a feel for what we will be buying. It would be ideal if the farms didn’t know we were coming and we could see them in their natural environment, but we know that isn’t possible. I think it will be in all our best interests if you don’t tell us what you think we want to hear. I hope that you feel free to tell us anything that we might have missed that we need to know, but other than that, it might be best to be available for introductions and answer any questions that we might have.”

We enjoyed our trip and all the farms were nice and each had something unique to offer. We finally decided to buy two different farms. One for its ‘state of the art’ training facilities. They also had some excellent breeding studs and mares. They also had some very promising colts and yearlings to accompany their existing racing stable. We were impressed with the farm manager and his vision as to how this farm should proceed. The existing owner was into taking as much profit out of the farm as they could. It was amazing how strong the future looked for this farm even under those circumstances. We also were impressed with the manager’s ability to surround himself with good people.

The second farm we decided to buy was a lot the opposite of the first. It had reasonable facilities, but its breeding facilities were the bright spot of this farm. They had a very good stable of breeding stock and yearlings, but not much that were actually racing stock at the moment. The management was weak and very much overpaid. The most valuable pieces of this farm were its existing covers that it held and the acreage the farm owned.(Covers are basically promises to breed with great breeding studs) This farm had about sixteen hundred acres. Nine hundred of those acres were un-cleared woodlands.

Before we officially bought the farms, we talked to Brad Crain to make sure he was willing to manage both farms. We told him we would give him full control of both farms and would make sure he had the resources to work toward his vision. He assured us he would be putting together a business plan and projection as to what he wants to complete. We told him that we would fire his counterpart as our first activity as new owners. We had already hired auditors to make the ownership transition smooth. Brad understood this and offered his assistance if we needed anything.

Both Dillon and Corbin were already making us promise to hire them after they finished college. We told them that there was still a likely chance that we would live most of the year in Texas; they said they would miss us, but really wanted to work at the horse farms. I told them their jobs were safe and so was their education, we still intended to pay for their education. They were both overjoyed.

The day before Adam started back to school, we decided to go to the lake. Dillon and Corbin had promised Corbin’s mother that they would spend the day with her. We called to see if Petey wanted to ski with us and of course, he did. We told him the boat needed gas and we would pick him up at the marina.

Although he was a legal driver now, Adam still wanted to drive everywhere we went. We took the cuda again this time and he got to feel the true power of the beast a few times when he passed slower cars. The two lane highway was a ball for the power of the beast. Adam and I got dressed and ready to go to the marina without having to stop to make love. I think the reason we didn’t was we knew Petey would tease us about it if were late grtting there. Petey was ready when we got there. We got ice and drinks at the marina as well as gas. Bert came out and teased Petey. “That boy has been chomping at the bit to ski with his precious Jim. He is convinced that you can get him through at thirty-five. He seems to always fall on the third buoy.”

“Thirty-five is going to be difficult for Petey. He will grow another five inches soon and it will be cake for him, but right now I’m amazed he can get around the first two. His reach can barely make a buoy.”

Petey had returned and heard most of what I said. “You mean I might as well not try until I grow more?”

“No bud, I’m just amazed that you can make two. I just don’t want you to be disappointed when I think you should be excited. Come over here buddy.” He came up to me and I raised my arm. “Now you try to touch my fingers.” He did and I think he could see how much size really did matter.

“Crap. I’ll never be taller than you.”

“Maybe, maybe not. I’m six-five which is considered tall. You will grow a lot in the next few years, but we have no real way of knowing how tall you will be. I gather from your dad and uncle that there is a good chance you will be over six feet tall. The important thing though, is do you enjoy skiing?” Petey nodded yes. “Then do the best you can and don’t sweat these next lengths just yet. You shouldn’t be discouraged at all. Know that your entry into the course has to be perfect to get around the first buoy let alone the first two. I’m proud of you bud.” He hugged me.

“Thanks Jim, dad tried to tell me that, but I didn’t want to hear it. I still don’t, but in my heart I knew dad was right.” He looked around me and said to his dad. “I know you heard me tell Jim that you were right but I will say it louder so that mom will know too.” He laughed. Bart swatted Petey’s butt as he was about to get in the boat. “Did you see that child abuse?” He teased.

“Not me I didn’t see a thing.”

He pulled his wetsuit and Speedo below his butt. “See it’s probably red.”

I swatted his cute little butt. “Now it is.” He moved out of the way. “I would cover that thing up before someone else took a swat at it.”

“Adam, help me, they are ganging up on me.” He covered his butt but was rubbing it trying to act like it was hurt.

“Come over here and let me see.”

“Not on your life, I see that devious look in your eyes. You will just swat it too.”

Adam started the engine and Bert pushed us away from the dock. We went to the practice area and Adam was improving with every time we went to the lake. Petey did great too. He has thirty-two off down pat.

We went over to the club area and sure enough Frankie was there. I did here him say something like faggot alert, but wasn’t sure exactly what he said. Adam and I trapped him and led him to his car. We all got in. “Frankie; I want to get something straight real quick. I know you gave your brother a very hard time and Paul is a friend of ours. We don’t want to see you give him a hard time at school. I know you won’t give me a hard time about being gay, because you know I saw you sucking Billy Mitchell’s dick a couple of years ago at the tennis center.”

“You must be kidding I never did that.” He was flustered.

“Max saw it too. If you want to see who is lying. I think between the two of us, we will convince the rest of the university.”

“I saw you sucking Aaron Fields right over there behind that big bush. It seems like you have not been very discreet about your games. It is pretty clear to us that you are a closet case trying to make other people miserable to try and cover up the fact that you are gay too. I will make sure everyone knows what I know if Adam and Paul are not your best friends as far as the rest of your school goes. I have high hopes for you Frankie. I told Paul he should tell you to sue your parents to get your trust fund back. I’m sure they stole from you too.”

He had tears in his eyes. “I wish I could. That Jack Adams guy that took Paul’s case said that he was your attorney and couldn’t take me as a client.” He sighed. “Besides I have no where to stay.”

“I think we can find you a place to live. If you need a place to stay you can stay with Adam and I. I’m sure Paul would take you in too. That would probably look better than Adam and I. Your father thinks we are out to get him anyway. One way or another we will make sure you are taken care of.”

“You know if I get my trust fund, I can even get an apartment. Maybe Billy Mitchell will move in with me.”

“Are you and Billy in love with each other?”

“No, we just like sex together.”

“Then I don’t think living together would be a good idea, but that is your decision. Just know that we will help you. If you really want the help.”

“Will you talk that Jack guy into taking my case?”

“I will have him talk to you and see what he thinks best. You might have to tell your dad you’re gay and let him kick you out too. I don’t know but Jack will know what is best. I’ll call him right now and have him call you.”

I called Paul first to make sure his brother could live with him until it was decided what was best. Paul talked to Hank and they said they would be happy to have him. I called Jack and he was talking to Frankie when we left his car.

“That looked serious. Is Frankie still giving you guys a hard time?”

“No, I think Frankie will be fine. I think Frankie is like his brother and just needs a chance to prove he is a good guy hiding in a not so nice guy’s body for awhile. It’s hard to explain, but he wants to be different. He has trapped himself into being a dufus, but he wants to change and I think he will.”

“Cool, I’m glad to hear it.” We hung around with the others at the ski club.

Before we left, Frankie said he and Paul were going to move most of his stuff and some that Paul hasn’t been able to get of his to Paul’s place. Well, technically that would be Hank’s place, but it works. Jack suggested that he leave for school tomorrow like nothing had changed and then tell his mother when he got home from school and then leave. Let her tell his dad that he is also gay.

We took Petey home, then put the boat up and headed home ourselves. There was considerable silence between us. Adam and I were both dreading having to be apart while he was at school. For three months now, we have not been separated more than a few minutes the whole time.

Maggs and everyone were trying their best to cheer us up, but we were in our own world of feeling sad and sorry for ourselves. It was about eight-thirty when Corbin came up to us at the pool. “Look you two. I’m going to have to kick your butts if you don’t snap out of it. It’s good to be separate from your partner every once in awhile. I know it is hard right now, but you guys can’t stay attached at the hip forever.”

“Why not? We’re great together.”

“You’re a great team, no doubt, but you need a chance to be good individuals too. We know you are and we know that you will be fine. Just suck it up and don’t make yourself so sad.”

“We’ll be fine. I just have to find something to do with myself while my baby is in school. I don’t want to hear anything about jerking off either.” That did get us both laughing.

We went to bed shortly after that. We brushed our teeth and hit the sack. I couldn’t wait to get my lips around Adam’s beautiful dick. He always smells so inviting and sensual. I licked up his shaft and let my tongue flick the inside of the hole of that beautiful cock. I gently licked the entire ridge around this head. I licked up the gap to again just take the sweet tasting head into my mouth. His soft pubic bush was like a magnet drawing my iron hard tongue to it. I love every second of having my head between this boys legs. Next his beautiful orbs in their lightly haired sack were the object of my attention. His balls taste slightly sweaty initially, but soon just the essence of Adam is all that I can taste. His balls feel fantastic in my mouth. I could stay all day on his balls, but I can’t wait to get my tongue into his tight hole. I kissed and licked every inch of his beautiful butt. I used my tongue to tease and tickle his crack. I went from the top of his crack down to that wonderful hole. I licked around
that wonderful hole and had my tongue working in and out of my beautiful boy. I could tell he couldn’t hold out any longer and I moved back to his cock. I worshiped his head a few more times before I felt him start his orgasm. I got my mouth over his cock and started to swallow his wonderful seed. He filled my mouth five or six times. God how I love the taste, and feel of my sweet Adam.

We kissed for a few minutes. Adam pushed me back and gave me the same treatment I gave him. He drives me up the wall with his tongue up my ass. I almost couldn’t hold off long enough for him to get his mouth back on my cock. He always gives me such strong orgasms. We kissed and cuddled and were soon asleep.
