"Dad, what are you doing here, and how did you find me?"
"This good man guessed your circumstances and then these people saw Tony's advert in the paper. You have some explaining to do and more than a few apologies to make, not least to Tony whose money you have wasted."
"I don't understand. I thought you would hurt Tony when you found out."
"You young idiot, don't you know how much your mother and I love you."
Ripley shook his head.
"Tony loves you so much he even showed me the letter you wrote him, he wanted to make sure that whatever happened we would be working together to get you back. He is far better than you deserve young man. You just make sure you let him know that when we get home."
Too much for a sixteen year old who thought he had lost the most important people in his life. He just dissolved in tears as his father grabbed him in a hug.
Michael Peters and all the staff that saw the saga unravel were delighted at such a quick and happy ending to this one. Runaway kids were reaching epidemic proportions, and so few of them were found that to see this one work out pleased them all.
A very subdued young man picked up his things from the YMCA and headed home with his father.
"You are one very lucky young man. We can pass off your missing school for a couple of days so no one outside the family need know about this. Tony is going to say he was mugged to cover up where he really got his injuries."
Ripley was shocked.
"What injuries Dad, what happened to him, is he hurt bad?"
"Whoa, one question at a time. Your mother got hold of the wrong end of the stick and attacked him when he came to the house. He's got a couple of black eyes and a few cuts and abrasions."
"Oh no Dad, that's awful."
The tears flowed again as he realised what his actions had caused to happen to the man he loved.
"I should have thought my actions through a bit more shouldn't I, Dad?"
Tom was pleased that his boy was now thinking straight.
After arriving home Ripley was like a cat on a hot tin roof waiting for Tony to come back from school. When he saw him, he was numb with shock. Tony looked awful, but on seeing his boy lover his face lit up and he grabbed Ripley in such a tight hug he nearly broke his ribs.
Tom looked on with pleasure, knowing that his son had found a good man if this was the life style he intended to follow.
"I've never taken a strap to that boy's backside Tony, but I think you should, and then you can work out some way that he can start paying you back the money he has cost you to return him to the home where he is loved, even if he doesn't deserve it."
Tony looked at Tom and gave him a lopsided grin.
"Mmm, I'll have to think about that Dad, a glowing backside might make him think before he acts in future."
Ripley was amazed that Tony had called his dad, Dad.
"You aren't angry with me then, Dad, for being gay?"
"No Son, I'm angry with you for causing all three of us so much unnecessary grief. You can see what it did to your mother. In the 20 years we've been together she has never struck me, but look what she did to your boyfriend."
Ripley hung his head and fought to keep the tears at bay.
"I'm so sorry Tony, I'll never do anything again to hurt you. I love you so much."
"I'm pleased to hear that. I might go easy on your backside with that apology in mind."
He was grinning as he said it, but the idea of spanking that cute butt did have its attractions.
"So, Son, what are your plans for the rest of the day?"
Ripley was about to reply until he realised his dad was talking to Tony.
"Well, much as I hate the idea of leaving you all, I really need to go home, I have a load of marking to do and a couple of lesson plans to prepare. I've rather neglected things the last two days."
Again Ripley felt the guilt of his actions.
Tom nodded, "Would you like some private time with this young man later, or do you want to leave it for another day?"
He thought he knew the answer to that one before asking it.
"Yes please Dad, why don't you throw him out about 8 o clock, we can have a couple of hours then before I send him back to you."
The parting was very muted. Neither Tony nor Ripley felt they could be too demonstrative yet in front of Tom.
"I'll see you later kiddo."
Ripley grinned, "Ok Tony."
"I really am sorry Dad, I'll try not to mess up again. Now that I know how much you all love me it should be easier to talk things over."
Tom tried to sound gruff but it didn't really come out that way as he replied.
"Perhaps some good can come out of this then."
The moment Tony opened his door, he had an arm full of boy.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I love you so much, I thought running away was the right thing to do to protect you."
"I don't need protection you idiot. I love you. Whatever happens, as long as we love each other we'll make it through. Don't you ever do anything this stupid again. I wanted to die when I thought I had lost you. "
A few passionate kisses followed before Tony took his boy through to the lounge and a talk.
"Now that your parents know we are lovers I don't suppose there is going to be much restriction on our meeting. I'll know that you are keeping your grades high by checking with your other teachers. We aren't going to give Dad the opportunity to keep us apart, not that I think he'll try. I'm hoping he will allow sleepovers at weekends as well. Ok?"
Ripley grinned, "Oh yes, sleepovers, oh my God, a whole night cuddled up to you. I think I'll die of happiness."
Ripley was almost sizzling with the thought of sleeping with his lover.
"Yes, well before that happens, what are we going to do about your little escapade? Dad suggests you need to work out a method of paying me back the money it cost to find you. Which reminds me, I must call my friend at KYC and Channel 7 to stop him broadcasting my appeal to you to come home."
"I'll get a job after school and weekends to pay you back I promise."
"We'll see, I don't want you neglecting your school work, or me."
A big grin accompanied the last two words and Ripley laughed as well.
"Dad suggested a strap across your backside might hammer home the message about stupidity, I think I agree with him."
Ripley did as well. He knew he had made a monumental blunder making adult decisions without consulting anyone else, when he was still actually a boy. He hung his head and almost whispered.
"I do too, Tony, I never meant to hurt anyone. I just love you so much I couldn't stand the thought of you losing everything for me."
"You idiot, haven't you realised yet, you're my everything. Without you there is nothing else. Now, go and get my wide leather belt from my bedroom."
`He's really going to punish me. Please let me take my punishment like a man and not disappoint him again.' That was his thought as he went for the belt.
Stood in front of Tony again with the belt in hand, Tony took it and without looking at his love just said, "Strip, naked."
A little shocked, he hesitated.
"Now, little boys are spanked naked."
He did and Tony teared up as he looked at the boy he loved and had so nearly lost.
"Get over my knees."
This was how little boys were punished in the old movies when cp was allowed. The sight was breathtaking. On show was the most wonderful, perfect little bottom that he had ever made love to. Could he realistically beat it with a strap? Of course not, but perhaps he could spank it. Not too hard, he didn't want to bruise it.
"Open your legs, I want to take one cheek at a time."
The anus was on show now and Tony knew he wasn't going to hurt his lover. He was going to take him to bed and bury his cock in the place he was gazing at now. He started stroking Ripley's cheeks and then sliding fingers down the crack to touch the rosebud on the way to the perineum and ball sac. He slicked up a finger and worried the anus before sliding it all the way in. Ripley wriggled a little and then sighed. Tony gave him two slaps, one to each cheek before repeating the action. He added a second finger and slowly fucked him with them, then another two slaps. He could feel Ripley getting a hard on so he knew he had judged the slaps right, erotic not painful. Ten slaps and three fingers later, Ripley had an orgasm.
"You dirty boy, now you are really for it. On my bed on your knees, legs spread wide and head and shoulders on the mattress."
Tony stripped very quickly and followed Ripley in. He slid up onto the bed, grabbing the Wet Light as he did so. Cock lubed, a little pushed into Ripley's love tunnel and with no more to do Tony buried his cock up to the hilt in a very receptive arse. Despite only having orgasmed a few minutes before, Ripley had another huge one as Tony came very quickly as well.
"I love you so much. Would you like me to make love to you properly now."
"You can do anything you like to me, I know I will love it because I love you with all my heart."
Tony smiled, a delighted smile at his lover's statement.
"And I love you too. You are far and away the most exciting body I have ever played with, and the rest of you is going to keep me interested forever."
Lying alongside each other after Tony had shown his baby how much he was loved, Ripley asked to stay the night.
Oh God, yes please', was his thought, but his words came out as, "You'd better phone your dad and ask him."
A few minutes later a smiling naked boy was stood in the bedroom door.
"I can tonight, but I'm not to make a habit of it on school nights."
He almost flew across the room then and snuggled into Tony's body.
"I don't think I'll sleep at all. Can I spoon into you, and will you put your cock back inside me while we go to sleep."
"I thought you said you weren't going to sleep."
"Well I might not, but if you are inside me I'm sure I'll be closer to it than if you aren't."
`Devious little monkey, but it would be different to anything I've done before', was Tony's thought, and his cock obviously thought so because it was rampantly hard again.
Going to sleep, buried in Ripley's cute butt led to the most contented sleep Tony could ever remember, and Ripley, despite all his ideas about not sleeping was also soon asleep snuggled contentedly into his lover.
Early breakfast, and one happy sixteen year old cycled home to shower and change for school.
Sat with his parents for a second breakfast, Ripley looked as happy as he had ever been and Tom knew he had made the right choices. So being gay wasn't what he would have wished for his only child, but if Tony could keep him as happy as this he couldn't in all conscience complain.
"I'll have a bit of catching up to do tonight I guess so I'll be studying until I go to bed. Can I ask Russ or Brewster to come round and help me if I need it?"
Tom looked all serious as he said, "What, not Tony?"
Ripley grinned, "I don't think I'd get very much work done if Tony came round."
Tom swatted him across the butt as he walked past, "Don't get cheeky with me young man or I'll ground you."
He was smiling and Ripley knew he was being played with. He jumped into his Dad's lap and gave him a serious hug.
"I love you so much Daddy, I promise I'll make you proud of me."
Tom's turn to tear up. He loved this boy so much it took his breath away.
"I know Son, now, off you go or you'll be late.
"Bye Mum, bye Dad, see you later," and he was gone.
"I love that boy so much Annie, I don't know what I would have done if we hadn't found him."
Ann knew, Tom had wanted a whole bus load of kids, but she had been unable to conceive again after Ripley, so he lavished all that extra loving on his only child.
