Bright Young Things

Bright Young Things By Adam Stewart

The man who I always thought to be my father had just died and I at last felt free. The doctor said it was a heart attack. He'd never loved me and had always made my life a misery. He seldom talked to me and when he did it was to tell me I was useless and a waste of space so I was glad to see the back of him even though some might say I was heartless. It was 1919, about to launch into the 1920s and I was an Earl with more money than I knew what to do with. My maternal grandfather had set up a bank in London so I was the Chairman although I left the day to day running of the business to those who did the work.

I was twenty one and the youngest of three although my twin brothers who were ten years older than me had been killed in the war. I was only sixteen when the war broke out and as a member of the aristocracy was not expected to go to war although my father would have sent me if he'd had half a chance. My mother had died giving birth to me having had me late in life.

I lived in a large eight bedroom house in Hertfordshire called Holland House and there was a five bedroom one in Bloomsbury in London both of which employed staff. My education during my early formative years was provided by a tutor at home. His name was Mr Barker. He was a single man in his early forties and lived in. His room was next to my bedroom on the second floor on which the day room was situated where he tutored me and I spent most of my day unless I was out exploring the estate which I loved doing.

As I got older I realised Mr Barker was a homosexual which at the time was not only illegal but considered disgusting and perverse. It has never ceased to amuse me that my father was clearly unaware of Mr Barker's preference of the male form. If he had been Barker would have been thrown out without doubt. My father encouraged him to be strict with me and give me a thrashing as often as he liked, although I soon realised that if I fluttered my eyes at him he treated me in a gentle manner. However, he did enjoy spanking me when he felt it necessary. He would tell me to strip naked and bend over his knee whilst he slapped my naked buttocks. It was never that hard but hard enough to sting.

By the time I was thirteen I was a strapping lad and well endowed so he clearly enjoyed having my naked body across his knee. Often I found his spanking excited my organ which he loved to see. By the time I was fourteen he found me irresistible and used every excuse possible to see me naked whether it was whilst he tutored me, having a bath or at bedtime. By now I'd also realised I preferred males and shunned any attempts by girls to make friends with me. I'd also made friends with one of the estate workers who was my age and we spent hours having fun with each other. The estate had a lake and we'd swim naked whenever we could if the weather was warm enough. Jo was also like me and enjoyed seeing other boys naked so we formed a close bond. If we weren't swimming we'd be lazing together in the sun and playing with each other until we both had erections. Jo was the first person to suck me off and from that moment onwards we frequently satisfied each other.

One day, Barker, as I now called him, asked what I did when I explored outside on my own. I think he suspected I was up to something. Knowing the secret he kept hidden from everyone else, I knew I could say anything to him since if he objected he knew I'd let his secret out. I realise now that I was a bitch but that was the way my father had made me. His mantra in life was to use people as much as he could so I did the same when it suited me. Not that Barker had anything to worry about since he knew we both had the same secret by this time.

"I go to the lake and swim naked with my friend" I casually replied. His eyes lit up and wanted to know more. I told him if he ever mentioned this or told anyone about Jo then I'd expose his secret. He smiled and sat me on his lap. I was wearing my pyjamas at the time as I was about to go to bed. He placed a hand on my thigh and it caused my body to react. Soon the flimsy material was rising and he smiled again.

"Don't worry Stephen; your secret is safe with me as I'm sure mine is with you." As he said this his hand moved into my crotch to feel my erection. It was soon rock hard and I gasped. He gently pulled the cord on my pyjamas and opened them up. My stiff dick stood up defiantly and he smiled again. "You really are beautiful; is Jo as beautiful as you?" I said he was; at least to me he was and I loved him. "I'd like to meet Jo and see for myself."

I told him I'd have to ask Jo if he was willing having suddenly realised that Jo might not be too happy about me telling Barker about him. As I sat there he gently removed my pyjama top and then my bottoms. I was now naked in his arms and I felt safe. He gently kissed the top of my head and I saw the hardness inside his trousers. I moved my hand between his legs and felt it. He exhaled a soft gasp as I fondled it. He then unbuttoned his trousers and led my hand inside. The large organ was aching to be released from his cotton union suit undergarment and I stroked it up and down. He unbuttoned the front and slipped my hand inside. I was now feeling the naked flesh of his full erection and it made my own jump with excitement. He placed his hand round mine and we spent several minutes pleasuring each other.

Suddenly he told me it was time for bed so I ran naked to my room leaving my pyjamas on the floor where he'd tossed them. From that time on I never wore pyjamas again, much preferring sleeping naked. Barker certainly never told me off for doing so and since my father never came to say goodnight he was totally oblivious of what his 'perfect' tutor was doing with his useless son.

The next time I met Jo I told him about Barker and said he'd like to meet him. Jo grinned and said he was happy to let Barker see him in the buff. Jo was far more experienced in life than me so immediately knew why Barker wanted to see him naked. Jo loved living dangerously and having secrets so we arranged when we'd next rendezvous at the lake.

It was another warm summer's day when Barker and I casually walked to the lake. As far as the other servants were concerned he was taking me on a nature walk, which to some extent was true! As usual my father was not around since he spent most of his time living at his London house. It was much later that I found out he had numerous female sexual partners in London which was why he spent so much time there. Most were prostitutes since all he was interested in was sex but at least it kept him out of my hair which suited me.

I introduced Jo to Barker and they shook hands as if it was a formal meeting. He then sat on the grass and watched Jo and I strip off to have our swim, which more often than not involved grabbing each other's balls and having a good time.

"Why don't you join us Barker?" I called out as Jo and I were standing in the shallows both showing off our erection.

Barker was unsure and looked round to see if anyone was likely to see. Jo told him nobody ever came to the lake these days so it was perfectly safe. In the end Barker decided to go for it since the sight of two nubile fourteen year-olds was exciting him so. He removed his outer clothes and once down to his cotton union suit undergarment Jo and I could see his stiff cock aching to be released. We quietly giggled not wanting to upset Barker or make him change his mind. He stripped off his undergarment and we silently gasped. Neither of us had seen a fully grown naked man before and we rather enjoyed the view. Barker's body was hairy and his cock stood out like a beanpole. The sight caused both of ours to jump with excitement.

Barker walked into the water and we led him to where it was deeper and his sexual prowess was hidden from view. He giggled rather enjoying the adventure and for a few moments we splashed each other. Jo then reached down and grabbed hold of Barker's erection.

"Nice cock" he grinned. Barker grinned and reached down for Jo's. Not wanting to be left out I joined in and we all felt each other's organs.

We eventually walked out of the water with all three of us sporting erections. Jo let Barker sit on his towel and then knelt across his legs. He took Barker's cock into his mouth and sucked it. Barker gave an audible gasp as he felt Jo's hot lips round his organ. I could sense he felt he should stop what Jo was doing but his body told him otherwise. Instead he let Jo suck him to a conclusion until he was shooting his creamy load of cum into Jo's mouth.

"You young man are very naughty" Barker grinned when he'd come down from his climax. "But you liked it didn't you" Jo grinned. Barker had to admit that he did.

Barker never joined us again when Jo and I had our naked swim but it did change our relationship quite considerably. I was now almost fifteen and from a physical point of view I was a man. Each evening Barker and I would strip off and enjoy each other's nakedness. Invariably I would suck him off and on occasions he'd bring me to a climax using his hand.

I'd just had my fifteenth birthday when my father called me into his study. As usual he'd not been around to celebrate it with me but Barker did along with the other servants.

"I'm sending you to boarding school boy" he announced. "But why?" I asked, "I thought Mr Barker was my tutor." "Don't argue boy; Barker can only go so far with you and it's time you expanded your mind; it will make a man of you and prepare you for university."

I'd never dreamt I'd go to university and to be honest I wasn't sure I wanted to but if I had to I'd go along with my father since I knew I didn't have a choice in the matter. When I returned to my room I could see that Barker was sad. My father had told him earlier that he was no longer required so was dispensed with. I rushed to where he was sitting and threw my arms round him. He'd become a good friend and my confidant and I knew I'd miss him terribly. I also knew I'd miss Jo which sadden me even more. I knew I'd be going to boarding school in a week's time.

On the evening before I was due to leave for boarding school, I had my bath before going to bed as usual and made my way back to my bedroom. When I got there I found Barker sitting on the bed. He told me to lock the door and climb into bed. I slipped off my bathrobe and as usual climbed in naked. I then watched him strip naked and climb into bed with me. For a moment I was taken aback since he'd never done anything like this before.

"I just want to hold you for a while; I shall miss you terribly." He kissed my cheek and I kissed his. We then held each other's naked bodies and caressed one another. It didn't take long for our erections to be rubbing against each other but that was all they did. After a while he climbed out and I watched him walk into his room carrying his clothes with him.

The following morning we said goodbye to each other and he wished me luck and good fortune as he kissed me on the cheek. I walked out to the waiting carriage and the coachman opened the door for me to climb in, my luggage having been loaded earlier. As we drove down the drive I glanced back at the house and saw Barker waving from his window. I waved back knowing I'd never see him again. As usual my father was nowhere to be seen but that was no loss.

"Ah, you must be Holland" a young man said as I walked in. I later found out he was three years older than me and one of the senior boys. "I'm Morgan and you're my fag."

"Good afternoon sir" I replied having noted he referred to me by my last name. He grinned and told me I was to call him Morgan, not sir. I was tempted to ask what a fag meant or did but decided not to. I was soon to find out that I was in fact his errand boy and had to do whatever he told me.

I liked Morgan and was happy to be his fag, and he took a liking to me. He showed me my dorm and went through the rules of the house and the school I was now part of. The senior school which I'd been sent to consisted of fifty boys, most of who were destined for university in due course. There were five seniors like Morgan all of which had their own room, although they had to share the large bathroom for bathing with the rest of us. The junior school consisted of around one hundred pupils but we only saw them at assembly each morning.

I quickly realised that my fellow pupils had little interest in academic subjects since most came from rich families like me. The teachers never seemed to stretch us or bother whether or not we performed well so generally it was a fun time and nobody in authority seemed to worry what we got up to.

It soon became apparent to me that Morgan and I were similar in that we preferred the male body. One of my duties as a fag was to clean his room. On the first occasion I had to do this I knocked on his door and waited. Having heard him tell me to go in I opened the door and found him lying on his bed wearing his dressing gown. I could see he had nothing else on since it was slightly open down the front and I had a good view of his private parts. He got up and moved over to where I was now standing.

"We don't want you getting your uniform dirty do we Holland" he grinned as he slipped off my blue blazer, hung it up and then removed my tie. He then unbuttoned my white shirt and removed that as I stood motionless not sure what to do or say. As he neatly folded my shirt he told me to remove my shoes and socks which I did. He then stood in front of me admiring my torso for a moment before unfastening my trousers. When they'd dropped to my ankles he told me to kick them off and pick them up. He took them and neatly folded them before placing them with my shirt on a nearby table.

I was now standing in my somewhat revealing cotton underwear which was beginning to show a bulge due to my cock reacting to his nakedness that showed through the gap in his dressing gown.

He smiled at me and felt my bulge. "I can see you're excited."

I grinned not knowing what to say. To my surprise he then slipped my underwear down my legs and pulled them off my feet before tossing them on to the bed.

"That's better, now you can clean my room and not dirty your clothes and I can admire your beautiful body."

"Yes Morgan" I replied and got to work dusting and polishing and cleaning the small basin I used to wash up his tea things. Despite not being used to doing such chores I did them efficiently and satisfied him. As I worked he sat naked in a chair having removed his gown. Every so often I glanced at his beautiful body and his cock which was now very erect. When I looked, he casually played with it and grinned.

"You like my cock Holland." "Yes, it's very nice" I replied as I continued my duties.

Once done he told me to stand in front of him. As he played with his erection, he played with my organ which very quickly became hard like his. He leant over and took it into his mouth. Having seen I didn't object he continued sucking for several minutes. He then told me to turn round, bend over and hold my ankles with my feet slightly apart. I then felt him pull my buttocks apart and lick my hole. His hot tongue over my sensitive hole caused my cock to jump with excitement. I'd never had this done to me before and I loved it. After a while I felt him insert a lubricated finger and feel round inside. I again loved what he was doing and groaned with pleasure.

By now blood was rushing to my head but I so enjoyed what he was doing I kept bent over. After a while he told me to turn round, kneel on the floor and take his cock into my mouth. This I was used to doing so set to with eagerness which pleased him no end.

"Would you like to feel this inside you?" he asked after I'd been sucking the large head for a minute or so.

I looked at it and wondered how that could possibly fit inside me but I nodded. He told me to lay face down on the bed and he straddled my legs. I felt his fingers opening me up and then the large head of his cock push against the ring of muscle. He told me to relax which I did and felt the head slowly move through my tight hole until it was right inside. I gasped as the short pain shot through me but once it was inside it felt wonderful. He continued pushing until I could feel his short black pubic hairs against the flesh of my buttocks so knew he now had the whole length of his beautiful cock inside me.

"You like that Holland?" "Yes, it feels wonderful."

He slowly moved in and out gradually increasing the pace until his organ was thrusting like a piston.

"Yeah, you've got a gorgeous arse to fuck Holland; nice and tight, just how I like it" he groaned as he fucked.

My whole body was now shaking with the force of his thrusts but I loved it. This too was a first and suddenly realised I'd lost my virginity. I made a mental note to get Jo to fuck me when I was next home. Suddenly he let out a loud groan and I felt his body tense before it then thrust some more.

"Yeah; filling your arse with a nice load of cum"

That I did understand since Jo and I had watched each other shoot our load all over our bodies when we'd massaged one another.

After that, I always stripped naked when cleaning Morgan's room and he invariably fucked me or I sucked him off. As we got to know each other he sucked me off too. Often he'd have another senior in the room when I was doing my chores. They'd be naked on the bed having sex so I saw them fucking each other or rimming on many an occasion. Then one day when I'd finished my work, Morgan told me to bend over the chair. The other senior then fucked me followed by Morgan, both filling me up with their creamy cum. I loved the attention so never minded. Besides, I was Morgan's fag and there to serve him!

In my own dorm I'd become friends with a boy called Robert. He was the same age as me and we soon realised we shared a similar interest in seeing naked boys. Much to our satisfaction, the school provided us with plenty of opportunity to gaze on other naked boys because we were required to swim naked and do physical education in a state of complete undress. Quite why, I never found out, but Robert and I certainly enjoyed doing so and seeing the others on show. We did wonder whether the teacher who took us for both sessions was also of our persuasion and enjoyed what he saw, especially when he took every opportunity to handle our nakedness when helping us climb ropes or jump over the vaulting horse.

Robert was a fag for the senior I frequently saw having sex with Morgan and one day he told me that his senior had fucked him so after that we'd share stories. Robert's parents lived abroad so he seldom saw them. It seemed they'd come to England for the sole purpose of placing Robert in boarding school and left. He never received any post from them so they'd dumped him at the school like my father had, and gone to live abroad. My father never wrote to see how I was doing and I certainly never wrote to him. For all I cared he could be dead, and the sooner the better.

When Christmas came I asked Robert where he'd be going since he had no family home in England. He told me he'd probably stay with a friend of his parents who was a woman in her late sixties so he certainly wasn't looking forward to it. My father had not told me what he was doing for Christmas so I invited Robert to come back home with me. I wrote to the housekeeper and she replied saying Robert was most welcome. We arrived home on a cold frosty day and the coachman met us at the station. He was an old guy who'd been in my father's service for years and was as miserable as my father so I just nodded as he doffed his cap at me and Robert.

"I'm really looking forward to us spending Christmas together" I said as we set off.

"So am I; thanks for inviting me Stephen; I really like you." As he said this he placed a hand on my thigh. Since the coachman couldn't see us inside the carriage I held it and moved it into my crotch. He grinned and felt what was stirring beneath.

"I want you to fuck me?" I whispered. He nodded and said he wanted me to fuck him. By now we were both used to being fucked by our senior so knew how enjoyable it was.

As soon as we'd changed out of our school uniform, I took Robert out to find Jo. I so wanted to see him again and I wanted to introduce him to Robert who I knew he'd like. We found him busy working in one corner of the estate and as soon as he saw me his face lit up. We hugged and kissed whilst Robert watched on before I introduced him. I told Jo that Robert was like him and me so not to worry what he said. For a moment I could see that Jo was disappointed I'd found another friend but when I told him we'd get together as soon as he was finished his work his face lit up again.

Since it was now winter, it was too cold to swim in the lake or lie outside having fun with each other so I found a way Jo could get into the house without anyone knowing. One advantage of old houses is that there are numerous stairways and back corridors so once we were sure the housekeeper and her husband were in the kitchen which was where they spent most of their time, Robert and I secreted Jo up to our room. It didn't take long for all three of us to be naked and having fun and we told Jo how our seniors fucked us. His face lit up and wanted to know more so we said we'd show him.

He loved feeling Robert's and my cock inside him and from thereon we invariably fucked him whenever we spent time together. Jo became a very dear friend and remained in my service for years to come, but more about that later.

Although my father hardly spoke to us the whole Christmas, Robert and I had a wonderful time despite few presents for us to open but I was used to that and so was he. My twin brothers had girlfriends so we seldom saw them and in fact only spent Christmas Day at Holland House. The servants had been slimmed down over the years so there was now only a housekeeper and her husband who looked after the house, a maid who cleaned the rooms and made the beds, the coachman who also looked after the horses, the estate manager and Jo of course. As my tutor had now gone, we used what had been his bedroom to sleep in which had a double bed. Nobody bothered about us on the second floor so we had it to ourselves, and the maid didn't comment that my bed never looked particularly ruffled although Robert and I did have a rough and tumble on it each evening before we went to bed just to make it look as if I'd slept in it.

Sadly the Christmas holiday was soon over so Robert and I had to return to school. As soon as Morgan saw me he took me to his room and told me to strip off since he wanted to fuck me.

"I've missed your cute arse" he giggled as we both undressed. I later learnt that Robert's senior had done the same!

The months passed and Robert spent Easter with me again since his parents had made no contact. We again had a wonderful holiday together and involved Jo whenever he was free. The final term for that year was much the same with little academic achievement being achieved by me or Robert but plenty of physical exercise and swimming which suited us perfectly.

Three days after the school had closed for the summer holiday, war broke out on the twenty eighth of July 1914. On the fourth of August Germany invaded Belgium, which led Britain to declare war on Germany. Although my father was too old to join his old regiment, he was immediately involved in the war effort. What he did I was never told and to be honest I wasn't interested. We didn't speak to each other from one day to another so when he left Holland House to go to London it was the last time I saw or heard from him for the next four years.

My twin brothers immediately joined up and that was the last time I saw them since they were both killed in action within the first few months. My father never told me and to this day I have no idea where they are buried. I found out when I came home for Christmas with Robert and Jo said how sorry he was to hear about my brothers. Being ten years older than me we had little in common so I shed no tears. Neither was married and I suddenly realised that I was alone without any family since my father didn't care a fuck what happened to me. It was Robert who remained by my side so we continued to enjoy life to the full.

When we returned home at Christmas we found the housekeeper's husband had left to join the army as had the estate manager. The first floor of the house had been closed up since my father never used it now as he spent all his time in London. The housekeeper and the maid still slept in the attic rooms and the coachman lived above the stable block, not that he was required that often. When I went to find Jo, he was sitting in the estate office looking lost. His manager had gone and my father had done nothing to keep things going. I was now sixteen and the only member of the family so I was effectively in charge. Jo was almost seventeen so I asked him if he felt he could manage things if we scaled back the work. He said he could so we went through what could be left and what was essential.

I quickly realised he was good at his job so appointed him as estate manager telling him if my father asked why, he was to refer him to me. I was past bothering what my father thought since he'd ignored me for so long. I also found out that Jo lived in shitty accommodation in the village. I'd never thought to see where he lived before. Once I saw it I told him to move into the house. We had plenty of room so my father couldn't argue. I was tempted to give him a room on the second floor but thought better of it since the housekeeper and maid would wonder why and Robert and I certainly didn't want them on that since Robert and I were sharing a room every night, so I allocated him one in the attic which was far better than he'd been using, and it was free since those living in had free board and lodging. To make everything official I even put it in writing for which Jo thanked me profusely.

"It will also mean you're available for Robert and me to fuck you" I giggled. "Yeah, anytime sir" "And you can cut the sir; I don't want that crap" I grinned, "You continue to call me Stephen when we're alone and use sir when other staff members are present or my father, should he ever decide to grace us with his presence." Jo knew my views about my father and he too didn't like the man so always chuckled when I talked like that.

Over that holiday the three of us had hours of fun together. Jo loved being fucked and he loved sucking our cocks and rimming us. When Robert and I had to return to school we were all sad to say goodbye but times were changing and I had a feeling my life would too in due course.

It was soon the end of the summer term and Robert and I were once again on our way back to Hertfordshire to spend the holiday together. His parents had still made no contact so he had no idea whether they were dead or alive. For that matter neither had my father so I resumed my role as head of the household when we got home. Jo was happy to see us and we again spent hours every night having sex with each other. I often wondered whether the housekeeper or maid had any idea what we were up to but neither of them said anything. They were having a reasonably easy life compared to some since they had a roof over their head, food in their belly and little work to do apart from prepare meals for the six of us when Robert and I were home.

When we returned for the new school year we found several teachers had left to join the army so lessons were even more erratic than before but we continued to enjoy life in one way or another. My senior was in his final year so I knew he'd be leaving in the summer to go to university but at least that meant I'd be a senior and have my own fag for my final year. I'd already decided that I wasn't going to university since I saw no point and in any event I decided I was needed at home in view of my father's absence. Robert's senior was also leaving for university so he too would be a senior with his own fag. He was unsure what he'd be doing since his parents had still not made contact so for all he knew he'd no longer have financial support for university.

"Do you want to go to university?" I asked. "Not really; all I want is to be with you Stephen" he replied with soulful eyes. I loved his eyes which were blue and when he was happy they shone like sapphires. "Why not come and live with me; I'll have plenty of money for both of us."

He gasped and threw his arms round me asking if I really meant what I was saying. I told him of course I meant it and added that I'd have my own money once I was eighteen since my mother's money had been put in trust for me.

"What will your father say?" "Don't suppose he'll give a fuck since he never bothers to contact me; he's not been back to the house since the war started." Robert said he'd love to live with me but asked what he'd do. I told him he could help me run the estate and be my sexual partner. He grinned and kissed me saying he could think of nothing better.

That academic year flew by as fast as the others had. Blake, my senior (we were now on first name terms) let me sleep with him most nights and nobody seemed to notice apart from the three guys in my dorm but they weren't bothered since they'd secreted a local girl without anyone noticing. She spent many a night having fun with three naked teenagers and from what they told me she enjoyed having sex with whoever was willing. So whilst they fucked her, I was being pleasantly serviced by Blake and often Robert would join in so the three of us would spend the night having sex. If my father had known what we got up to, he'd have died on the spot and realised he'd wasted his money. It also amazed us that none of the masters ever found out but of course they were now minimal in number and those left were somewhat doddery and blind to what was going on under their nose. Either that or they didn't give a fuck!

At the end of the summer term, the seniors held a party in one of their rooms. Booze was secretly brought in and the five fags were required to be there to do whatever was required. Blake said we should all be naked so we duly stripped off. Robert and I weren't bothered but two of the others didn't take kindly to being naked but the third guy took it in his stride. The two dissenters were soon dealt with by their seniors who were much stricter than the others. I later found out that it was a tradition for the fags to be stripped naked for this event. As usual there wasn't a master in sight.

As the alcohol flowed the merriment became wilder. The five played a game of strip poker and we fags watched as each guy lost his clothes until everyone was buck naked. Robert and I chuckled when we noticed several cocks showing interest and it wasn't long before sexual shenanigans took place with guys sucking cocks or seeing who could shoot the most spunk. Even the fags were included in this and the two dissenters joined in the fun having had a few glasses of whisky or brandy poured down their throats. The only problem was that by the following morning ten guys had hangovers and thumping headaches but we'd enjoyed ourselves. It was not the last time Robert and I ended up like that in years to come!

Robert and I were now beginning our final year at school. We were now seniors since we were both seventeen, and shortly to be eighteen, so our first task was to choose our fag. We'd already identified suitable candidates before the end of the previous year. I'd chosen Joseph who'd been one of the fags who'd willingly stripped off at the seniors' party and Robert had chosen another lad called Edward. All we now had to do was see if our two fifteen year-olds were like us and willing to have the kind of fun we'd had with our seniors.

We each called our prospective fags into our rooms having decided how we'd proceed to test their reaction. Joseph immediately said he'd be honoured to be my fag so without saying anything I casually moved up to him and removed his school blazer. I hung it on a hook and then slipped off his tie and unbuttoned his shirt. He smiled at me and I could tell he knew what I was up to. As I carefully folded his shirt I told him to remove his shoes and socks which he did without question. I then unfastened his trousers and when they were round his ankles, told him to kick them off and give them to me. He again did so without question and smiled at me. He had a beautiful smile and I instinctively knew he was of the same persuasion as me. I lowered his tight fitting underwear and slipped them off his feet. His cock was already excited so I took it into my hand whilst looking him straight in the eye. He again smiled.

"You like that" I commented. "Yes, I do; and more" he replied with the same smile. "In that case you're my fag for the year." "Thank you Holland; I shall enjoy serving you; I take it you'll want me naked when undertaking duties in your room?"

I said I would if that was okay with him. He said he loved showing off his naked body so it was fine by him. I could see we were going to get on well. Robert meanwhile was having an equally successful session with Edward who became his fag and the four of us enjoyed many sexual activities together throughout our final year.

Joseph and I became good mates apart from him being a gorgeous fuck. Robert also got on well with Edward and during the course of that year we all enjoyed each other's company in more ways than one!

My time at the school was almost over and I would be going home. Robert's parents had at last contacted him to say they were not returning to England so he could either join them in India, where they were now living or stay in England and make his own way in life.

"What will you do?" I asked him. "I'm certainly not joining them in India so if your offer is still available I'd love to live with you." I told him of course he could and gave him a hug. We'd become very fond of each other so it was the natural choice.

A few weeks earlier, Joseph and Edward had received sad news. Both their fathers had been killed in action so were having to leave school. They were now seventeen and knew they'd have to find jobs since neither of them came from aristocratic families with money. Joseph's father had been a chef at a high class hotel in London and Edward's also had a good job so both fathers wanted to give their son the best start in life by sending them to boarding school and possibly go onto university. With the war, those dreams had been shattered. Joseph's mother had died several years ago and Edward's had shacked up with another man and left him and his father. Neither had siblings so were now without family.

I liked Joseph and Edward so I invited them to join us at the house. I had a feeling there would be jobs to do since so many men were now lost at war. They both jumped at the offer and gave me a big kiss and a hug. I joked and said they could show their appreciation in other ways when we got home. I could already tell that life was changing in so many ways because of the war but it all depended on what plans my father had for the future, assuming the fucking war would end at some point.

Once the school term ended, the four of us set off to Holland House and were met at the station by Perkins, the coachman. He doffed his hat at me and glared at the other three before loading our luggage onto the carriage. Back at the house I told Perkins to leave our luggage in the hallway since he was far too old to carry it upstairs. My father would have told him to do so but I was not as heartless as him which I think was appreciated by Perkins who doffed his cap yet again and disappeared.

I took the three guys into the kitchen to see Mary the housekeeper and she gave me a hug. I'd always liked Mary and she'd been very much a mother to me most of my life. She welcomed the other three guys and said she'd serve tea and cakes in the sitting room once we'd washed our hands and tidied ourselves up from our journey.

Robert and I would be sharing the same room on the second floor as before and I told Joseph and Edward they could use two of the other rooms on that floor. When I'd talked to Joseph about coming back with me, he'd said he and Edward were 'very friendly' which Robert and I took to mean lovers since we'd seen them together. When I learnt about Edward's situation it seemed the obvious and kindest thing to invite him too. At this point in time I had no idea what they'd do with themselves but I was sure things would work out okay.

"I'll leave you guys to decide which room you actually sleep in but make it appear you're using both" I grinned. "We don't want the maid running off with ideas". As it happened, things worked out even better than I'd ever hoped.

I'd only been home for three weeks when my father appeared. Several months earlier he'd had a telephone installed so had used this to arrange for Perkins to collect him from the station. As soon as he arrived he asked to see me so I dutifully went to his study.

"Sit down boy" I did so and waited for him to finish what he was doing.

"I'm moving to London permanently" he suddenly said, hardly looking up from what he was writing. He never asked how I was or how school had been, or for that matter what I was now going to do with my life. "As you know this was your mother's house so I've never particularly liked it and my life is in London now. Hopefully this damned war will be over soon and things will get back to normal. So it's all yours now boy; you're eighteen so the trust money is yours to use as you wish."

"I'm actually nineteen father; my birthday was last week" I intervened. Not that he'd been in contact or sent me anything but it hadn't bothered me. "So be it; anyhow I understand you've been managing things here whilst I've been away and I believe you've made young Jo the estate manager." "Someone had to manage the estate and with so many losses in the war he seemed the obvious choice."

"Fine, I'm not disputing the fact; the point I'm making is that even at your tender age you seem to have things well under control so you might as well take over completely. I'm no longer interested in the place. I'm taking Perkins with the Brougham and two horses to London with Mary and Betty so you'll need to find new staff. The woman I've got at the London house is useless so she's going. What you get to replace the Brougham is up to you; no doubt you'll want one of these new fangled motor vehicles which seem to be the rage."

For a moment I was stunned. Not only that he was leaving for good but that he'd actually congratulated me, in a roundabout way, on how I'd looked after things in his absence despite being at school, although I had been in regular correspondence with Mary and Jo.

"And when are you leaving father?" "As soon as my remaining things have been packed; I'll be gone by lunchtime."

Seeing he had no more to say I stood up and left him. Once I'd closed his door I waved my fist in the air and silently said 'yes'. At last the bugger was out of my life and I could do what I wanted. Better still, he was taking all the staff which meant I could start from scratch. I ran upstairs to find Robert and told him the news. He was as flabbergasted as I was but when he'd taken it in he rushed over to me, took me into his arms and hugged me. Before we set about deciding how we'd organise things I said I had to see Mary. I needed to know how she felt about moving to London since she'd been at the house all my life.

"I can't say I'm that happy about it but the war has changed everything so I presume I've got to do what he wants. I can't afford to give up the job that's for sure. I know he's a bugger at times Stephen but he's always been good to me so I might as well see out my days looking after him and his fancy women."

I looked at her somewhat surprised since it was news to me he had fancy women. She giggled and told me in confidence that she'd heard from Perkins who'd frequently had to take things to London that my father had an endless string of women and a different one in his bed almost every night. She added they were all prostitutes of course. I asked whether she'd mind living in a house where that went on and she laughed.

"I've seen it all my love so nothing shocks me anymore; not sure about Betty mind you but she'll soon grow up once she's in London and men start sniffing round her." I laughed and realised she'd probably worked out what Robert and I had been up to but said nothing.

Having left Mary to continue packing her things, I went back to Robert. By the time we'd agreed how we wanted to manage things, my father was leaving. I watched him disappear down the drive with Mary and Betty, and his luggage strapped to the back of the Brougham. It was the last time I ever saw or heard from him. True to form, Mary had left the cupboards and the larder well stocked with food so we knew we wouldn't starve. She'd even prepared a light lunch for us so I went to find Jo and told him to join us. The five of us sat round the large kitchen table and I told the others the news. Jo gasped and I sensed Joseph and Edward looking worried.

"Its good news guys so don't look worried." I then proceeded to outline the plan that Robert and I had agreed. I first asked Joseph if he was willing to take over the cooking since his father had been a chef and he'd said he was interested in culinary matters. He jumped at the offer so I then turned to Edward and asked if he'd be willing to help Robert run the house and drive the car I planned to purchase since we no longer had transport. He gasped and said he'd love to. I told each of them they'd be paid but would of course have free board and lodging as usual.

"You Jo will remain as Estate Manager and we'll find you an assistant. We'll also find Joseph one too since I guess he'll need one." Jo grinned and thanked me for having such faith in him.

"What Robert and I want to do is have an all male household and one in which we can be ourselves without worrying what others might say. We all know that our lifestyles are far from accepted by the general populace but in this house I want all of you to do what you love doing with each other." They all cheered and said that would be fantastic.

"So does that mean we can share a room and sleep together" Edward asked.

"Of course; Robert and I are moving into the main bedroom suite on the first floor and we suggest you guys use one of the larger rooms on the second that looks out onto the front." I looked at Jo who I could sense was wondering whether he'd remain in the attic on his own. "You Jo can move down to the second floor and use the largest room that looks out over the rear garden. The remaining two rooms on that floor will be for whoever we employ for the other two jobs." I added that the other three rooms on the first floor would be guest rooms since we knew we'd be having people to stay in due course once we'd made a circle of friends. "So is everyone happy with that?" They all said they were and faces beamed with happiness. "All we now have to do is find two more guys who share the same interest as us when it comes to sex."

"I think I know two who'd be perfect" Jo said. He said he knew two eighteen year olds who were half brothers. He explained they'd been fathered by the same man with different mothers. The father had lost his life in the war and one of their mothers had also died several years ago so they were now both living with the other mother. They were all out of work because the house they'd worked at had closed down and was to be sold. The owner had also lost his life at war and was in debt so his wife now had to sell the house to make ends meet.

"The thing is both Fred and William are like us and are desperate to find work; I think the mother is planning to move away and live with her sister so a job here would be ideal for them; I assume they could live in like me?"

I said they most certainly could and asked if he was sure they were of the same persuasion as the rest of us. Jo laughed. "Oh yes, without doubt; they both fuck me like troopers when they get the chance as well as each other."

"They fuck each other?" Edward laughed. Jo nodded and said they were inseparable having been brought up together.

After lunch I asked Jo to fetch Fred and William so Robert and I could interview them. We needed to be sure they were homosexuals and were suitable for the jobs we had in mind. Within the hour, Jo had brought them to the house and left them in the kitchen. He found us sorting out our new suite or rooms which consisted of a small sitting room off which there was a large bedroom with its own bathroom. I'd always loved this room and as a child often used to take a peek when my father wasn't around. The furniture was still good but it needed redecorating as did other rooms but that could easily be sorted out in due course.

Robert and I made our way to the kitchen and the two lads immediately stood up. I introduced myself and Robert, and indicated for them to sit down. I could see they were both nervous so I tried to put them at ease. They confirmed very much what Jo had said about why they were now unemployed and their family background. I quickly determined that Fred would be more suited to helping Joseph in the kitchen and William outside with Jo. In his last position it seemed he frequently helped the estate manager so had some useful experience.

"Do you guys have girlfriends?" Robert suddenly asked. They both looked at each other not sure what to say. I'd told Jo not to mention our all male household and our preference for the male sex since we needed to be sure about them before we divulged that fact.

"Um" William started to say, "Um, no".

"Is that because you've not been lucky or you're not interested?" I smiled.

They again looked at each other unsure how to reply. "Don't worry, anything you say here is confidential between us but we need to know" I added trying to make them feel comfortable.

"We're not interested" Fred grinned.

"So you prefer guys" Robert smiled.

"Yeah, you could say that" William nodded.

"And I believe you and Jo are good friends in more ways than one" I commented. They both nodded.

I told them that was good and would certainly not be a problem in my house. I offered them the jobs and they both immediately accepted. I then told them they'd be joining an all male household who had the same feelings towards same sex as they did. Their faces suddenly turned from a look of concern to one of joy as they beamed with delight.

"And we'd be living in would we?" Fred asked. I replied they most certainly would. "And would we be allowed to share a room?" William grinned. "If you wish; nobody here will have a problem with that" I replied and said I'd show them the room I had in mind before they left.

We then discussed how soon they could start and they said immediately since they were desperate for work. Their mother was leaving to join her sister within two days and once she'd left they'd lose the cottage they currently lived in. I looked at them and could see they'd been on hard times for some while. Their clothes needed attention so I decided I'd have them fitted out at my expense. Robert and I had decided we weren't going to have a staff uniform since we wanted them to feel comfortable and part of the family but these guys' clothes were threadbare and their shoes were falling apart. When I told them what I'd do for them they couldn't thank me enough. I then took them to see their room and asked Robert to call the outfitter I'd always used in the nearby town. I asked him to tell the outfitter to bring several outfits to clothe the guys from head to toe.

By the time William and Fred had returned with their few possessions, Mr Hawkins, the outfitter had delivered a wide range of items from which to choose. I suggested they first had a bath since I guessed the bathing facilities at the cottage they'd lived in were sparse and probably consisted of a tin bath in the kitchen. I took them up to the second floor bathroom and they gaped in awe.

"Wow, is this what we'll be using from now on?" Fred asked.

I put my arm round him and said it was. I started to fill the bath from the hot tap which they'd also not come across before; my father had installed running hot water throughout the house several years before. When I turned round I found them both stark naked. For a moment I just looked at them admiring their naked bodies. They were both strong looking lads with big cocks standing out proud. I could see why Jo loved being fucked by them. They both grinned as if to say 'what do you think?'

"Nice" I muttered feeling my own organ jump to attention. I turned off the taps and tested the water to make sure it was not too hot. "Okay guys, all yours."

They both climbed in at opposite ends since the bath was plenty large enough to take two. Robert and I had done so frequently over the years. As the taps were on one side, it meant we could both lean back and use our feet to play with each other's anatomy. I told them I'd leave them to it and joked I'd expect them to be sparkling when they'd finished. I put two towels out for them and picked up their grubby clothes off the floor.

"Are they okay?" Robert asked when I entered the bedroom we'd decided the lads would use. I nodded and said they were both gorgeous. "I can see we're going to have such fun living with these guys."

I agreed and could feel my cock getting harder by the minute. I looked through the bundle of clothes I'd brought in and decided there was nothing worth keeping but I'd let the two lads decide. The shoes had holes in them so they definitely had to go.

"Hawkins has brought some nice stuff for them to look at" Robert commented.

I went through the items he'd delivered and noted they were all modern styles for the younger man including daywear and casual. Whilst we waited for the two lads to finish their bath, I took Robert into my arms and hugged him.

"Happy?"

He looked at me and grinned. "Of course I'm fucking happy; I'm living with the man of my dreams in a beautiful house and your father has fucked off to leave us lead our own life with a group of gorgeous guys. Who couldn't be happy?"

"True; we really are going to have such fun together but I want everyone to feel this is their home and we're a family."

Robert took my face into his hands and kissed me. I felt his hard cock pressing against mine as we kissed. As we did so I glanced out the window and saw Jo tending the flower beds at the front of the house. He never stopped and I decided I had to make him relax more but at least he'd have William to help him from now on.

I heard a soft cough behind me and looked round. Fred and William were standing in the doorway with a towel wrapped round their waist. I grinned and told them to come in.

"You'll get used to seeing us kissing each other" I chuckled.

"And more I suspect" Robert laughed.

"Okay guys come and choose what you'd like. You'll need daywear clothes and casual plus underwear and shoes.

The lads looked at the range of clothes laid out on the bed. Robert and I had arranged them into piles; daywear, casual and underwear. I could tell they were overawed having never seen such expensive items before so I picked up some underwear and suggested they try them on. They dropped their towels and I heard Robert silently gasp when he saw their nakedness. Both guys loved the items I'd chosen so I put some more of that design to one side. Hawkins had supplied several items of each since Robert had told him we were setting two guys up with a complete wardrobe.

The underwear fitted them perfectly and showed their attributes off to perfection. Robert selected some shirts suitable for daywear and they too fitted perfectly. It was trousers next and after trying on several pairs they decided which they preferred. Having sorted out their daywear they stripped those off and chose a casual set. The final choices were made from the range of shoes. The work shoes for William had to be sturdy and able to withstand wet and mud so we chose a pair of leather boots for him. Fred finally chose a sturdy pair of black shoes for himself. They then looked at the casual shoes and couldn't decide having never worn anything like these. Between us we chose a sturdy pair of black patent leather and canvas two tone style shoes with stacked wood heels. They looked very smart and I could tell they were overcome with emotion.

Fred suddenly had tears running down his face. I took him into my arms and hugged him tight. "We can't thank you enough" he said between tears. I hugged him some more and lightly kissed his cheek. Robert was doing the same to William.

"I'm sure we'll think of some way you can thank us" Robert giggled. This made the two lads grin knowing precisely what he had in mind.

Once we'd selected another set for casual wear, folded up the unselected items and packed them away in the large cardboard boxes they'd come in, I suggested the lads change into their daywear and hang the others up in the wardrobe. When everything was done they carried the unwanted items downstairs to be collected by Hawkins the following morning. When he saw the amount I'd purchased I knew he'd be delighted.

Whilst Fred went to the kitchen to help Joseph prepare the evening meal, William ran off to find Jo in the garden.

"Two very happy bunnies I think" Robert grinned as he watched the pair run off. "You really are very kind you know; I too owe you a lot Stephen."

I grinned and said as he'd told the two lads, I was sure I could think of ways he could show his appreciation. He giggled and groped me. I was so looking forward to our new life together.

I'd told Joseph that we'd all eat in the kitchen since the table was plenty large enough for the seven of us. As the man of the house I sat at the head of the table with Robert to one side of me, Jo opposite him and the other four alongside them.

"First of all I'd like to welcome you all into my house. I know some of you will find it strange that we're all eating together but when we're alone I feel it is the right thing to do because I want all of you to feel this is your home as well as mine. When we have guests we will use the dining room and according to whom those guests are Robert and I will decide which of you join us. As you all know, the war has changed lots of things and we have to move on. You are also aware that we all share a secret which outside of this house is considered by most to be disgusting and perverted behaviour. All I ask is that you all keep that secret within this house and from any others who may visit unless they too are of the same persuasion as us."

Everybody nodded clearing understanding what I meant. "Secondly, I want you all to feel relaxed whilst living here. You all have your assigned duties and I shall expect you to undertake those within your ability but this is your home so when you're not working I want you to feel free to join Robert and I in the sitting room should you so wish. Don't feel you must stay in here or go to your rooms as has been the habit in the past. You are all welcome to relax and have fun with us. As far as the outside world is concerned, Robert is my personal assistant who helps me run the house and estate but we are both your friends so feel free to enjoy life with us in whatever way you want. By that I mean if you feel in need of attention, whether it is physical or mental, don't hesitate to see us. Do you understand what I mean without spelling it out?"

They all grinned and nodded enthusiastically. "So, before we eat the wonderful meal that Joseph and Fred have prepared for us, let's have a toast." 'To us' we all cheered before delving into our food which smelt delicious.

At the end of the meal Joseph announced he'd like to say a few words. "I'm sure I say this on behalf of everyone" he commenced as he looked at me, "I'd like to thank Stephen for inviting us into his home, giving us work, a roof over our heads and food in our belly. Thank you Stephen, you're a true friend and we love you very much."

For a moment I was overcome with emotion. I'd realised that Joseph was extremely grateful for what I'd done for him but to hear those words really meant something to me. "Thank you Joseph for those kind words; they are much appreciated, and as Robert would say, I'm sure we can think of a way for you all to show your appreciation."

Everyone laughed and thumped the table. "Yeah, anytime" I heard several say before Robert and I stood up and left the others to clear the dishes away.

"Coffee in the sitting room guys when you're ready please" Robert grinned as we left the kitchen and moved into the sitting room.

Once there he pulled me into a hug. "That was a beautiful speech you made Stephen and I could tell all the guys really appreciated it, as did I and will certainly show you how much when we go to bed tonight."

"Mm can't wait" I giggled and felt him down below. As usual he was hard; I wondered whether his cock was ever soft.

In due course five guys appeared bearing a tray of cups and a pot of coffee. I invited everyone to sit down and noticed that Fred and William appeared to be unsure. I invited Fred to join me on one sofa and Robert invited William to join him on another. Once Fred was beside me I pulled him close.

"Just relax and enjoy yourself" I whispered. He smiled and I casually rested a hand on his thigh.

Edward meanwhile was offering round brandy and whisky. Fred seemed unsure so I persuaded him to have a whisky since that was my favourite tipple.

"Sip it" I whispered "and roll it round your mouth before swallowing". He did so and grinned. As the evening progressed I felt him physically relax. I glanced at Robert who was educating William in much the same way and slowly working his hand towards his crotch. Jo was sitting on the other side of me. "Happy?" I asked him.

He turned and grinned. "Yeah, very"

He'd never been a man of many words but ever since I'd known him I could generally read his mind. "Do you not wish you had a bed partner?" I asked and placed a hand on his thigh; my other was still on Fred's who seemed to enjoy it being there from what I could see.

"It doesn't really bother me; I doubt I'll be short of a fuck or two" he giggled.

"I'm sure you won't" I laughed, "I for one will never mind giving you one and I'm sure Fred will too won't you Fred?"

Fred grinned and felt his own cock which I could tell was getting excited. I moved my right hand into his crotch. He immediately lay back and let me feel his burgeoning organ which was soon rock hard. As I felt the length and its hardness, I imagined having that inside me.

"Mm that feels nice" I whispered into his ear, "must definitely try that for size one day". He grinned and placed a hand into my crotch to feel me. He wasn't disappointed because I too was hard.

Finally we all went to bed and I noticed Jo, Fred and William whispering to each other as they went up to the second floor.

"I think Jo is going to be well serviced tonight" I chuckled as Robert followed me into our new room. It needed redecoration but we'd decided to move in once the covers had been removed and it had been given a quick clean. We wanted the other guys to move into their new rooms so as to feel at home so we had to vacate the one we'd been using since that was now Jo's. "I seem to remember you were going to show your appreciation" I giggled.

Robert grinned and told me to stand by the bed. He then slowly undressed me very seductively and as each item was removed he kissed or licked my naked flesh. When I was totally naked he went down on my growing cock. I gasped as his hot lips enveloped it and slowly sucked. When I was fully erect he told me to kneel on the bed and stick my arse in the air. I felt his tongue lick my hole as he pulled my buttocks apart.

"Oh god that feels so good" I gasped. I loved his strong tongue pushing its way inside me. He grabbed my hard cock between my legs and massaged it. He then held my balls and gently squeezed them. I was in heaven and wanted it to last all night.

"On your back; I'm going to fuck that cute arse of yours" he giggled. I immediately obeyed and held my legs high in the air to offer myself. He inserted two well lubricated fingers deep inside me hitting that magic spot as he did so. All the while he grinned at me knowing how much I was enjoying it.

"Want to feel your cock" I groaned.

"Your problem is that you're too impatient" he giggled as he lubricated his long shaft and then slowly inserted it. "Oh yes, you've got such a beautiful arse to fuck" he groaned as he filled me up.

As he fucked I had a mental image of Fred and William giving Jo a good long hard fuck. As much as I loved Robert, I too wanted to feel those cute guys inside me. I'd felt Joseph and Edward's cock and I'd fucked them on numerous occasions so knew what they had to offer but I was now itching to see what our two new friends were like.

My mind was brought back to the moment as I heard Robert yell that he was about to fill me up with his beautiful spunk. I watched his body tense and then shoot his load. As he did so our eyes fixed upon one another and I smiled.

"Fuck, that was so good" he exclaimed when he'd finally come down from his high.

Not wanting to lose the sexual atmosphere, he turned his attention to my aching cock. He sucked and licked until I too was shooting my load into his mouth. When he'd drained me, he grabbed my head and we kissed tasting my own cum as we did so. Finally we settled back and fell into each other's arms. I felt so happy and I knew he was too.

"Mr Trent is here to see you Stephen" Robert announced.

I'd asked Mary who the family solicitor was and she'd told me that Trent and Son had served the family for years so I'd called their office and asked that Mr Trent come and see me. My father had said something during our brief conversation and I wanted to know more.

I was surprised to see a young man enter what was now my study, since I'd expected to see an older man. "Good morning sir; I'm Hugh Trent."

We shook hands and I noticed he held my hand far longer than was normal. I told him to call me Stephen and he said to call him Hugh. As he sat down he explained he'd taken over the business since his father had been badly injured in the war and was now in a nursing home.

"I'm so sorry" I said and was sure I'd met him before somewhere. He was very attractive and I felt my body react but fortunately I was sitting behind my desk so the bulge now forming was not visible to him.

"Thank you; this bloody war has ruined the lives of so many but the signs are that it could soon be over." I agreed and he smiled at me. "We've met before you know."

I said I had a feeling we had and he reminded me we'd met at Lord Crowley's house several years before at a party my father had taken me to.

"You were thirteen Stephen and I was fifteen; it was that night we were both chased by Lord Crowley's daughters and we rebuffed them saying we weren't interested."

I chuckled and remembered it well. Even then I'd known I was more interested in boys and been attracted to Hugh and had a feeling he was to me.

"I wonder what happened to them" I chuckled.

"Oh they're both married now having caught two other guys."

"And you; are you now happily married? I asked still wondering if he was more interested in men.

"God no, heaven forbid, and from what I hear you're not either."

We looked at each for a moment not saying anything.

"You do realise Stephen that anything we tell each other is strictly between us; client confidentiality and all that; you'd be surprised the secrets I know about clients, and they me for that matter."

I smiled and raised my eyebrows. "You have secrets too?" I giggled.

"Tell me to mind my own business if you like Stephen but I'm fairly sure you have a secret in your life as I do in mine; unless I'm very much mistaken, I think we share much in common." I nodded clearly understanding what he was saying. "I know what most people think about the likes of us Stephen so we have to protect each other and I can assure you that whatever you say to me will remain with me, as I hope anything I say will remain with you."

"Of course; as you say, our kind have to stay together. How long have you known?"

"For as long as I can remember; I knew a boy in junior school who felt the same way and we were very close for several years but when he was old enough he was forced into marriage so that was the end of that; how about you?"

I told him it was much the same and that Jo and I had been lovers before I was sent to boarding school where I was a senior's fag, who had the same feelings as me, and that Robert was in my dorm and we became lovers. I then told him about my all male household and that we all shared the same secret.

"A nice arrangement" he chuckled, "So you now run the estate." I nodded and asked Hugh if he now had anyone special in his life. "Sadly not; as I say the boy I met at school was very special to me but he's gone on to pastures new."

"You must come for dinner and stay over sometime; I'm sure the other guys would love to meet you" I grinned. He thanked me and we got down to business.

"My father made a comment when he announced he was leaving which has puzzled me so I'd be interested in knowing some more; as you may know my mother died when giving birth to me so I never knew her but I was aware she had money which had been put in trust for me but my father said this was her house which was why he was moving out and leaving me to take it over."

Hugh said that was all true. "The house had been in your mother's family for several years and she'd been born and brought up here. Her parents died soon after she married your father. But the man you call your father is not your blood father. He died in a shooting incident a few days before you were born. Having read the file, it seems your mother's health rapidly deteriorated on her husband's death and the man who you call your father agreed to marry her. He had little money when he married your mother; the family bank was started by your maternal grandfather; when he died his son became chairman and arranged for the bank and the two houses to be put into a trust in your name on his death. He died when you were five years old so I don't suppose you remember him. The story goes that he was very ill during the last year of his life and never left home. Your step father became chairman of the bank but the deed of trust states that he's not allowed to sell the bank, this house, the house in Bloomsbury or make major changes without the approval of you and the rest of the board."

"Wow, I never knew any of this and my father, or more correctly my step father, certainly never told me; no wonder he hates me. So he doesn't own the bank or this house?"

"Nope; you're a very wealthy man Stephen because the bank is very successful; although not because of your father; he's just a titular head to give him an income for life; it's the managing director and the other directors who've made it one of the most successful banks in the City."

For a moment I felt angry that the man I'd thought to be my father had never told me but then I realised why; his life was very much in my hands.

"So he's basically got a job for life" I grinned.

"Unless you and the board decide between you to sell the bank or remove him for any reason but that's unlikely to happen unless he really blots his copybook." I agreed. At least the bugger was out of my life which suited me. "When I first read the file I was surprised to see that you had access to the Trust when you reached age eighteen; normally it's twenty one but having read further I understood why your uncle did that. I take it you know your step father is a womaniser and drinks heavily."

I said I was and had been recently told that he fucked a different woman every night. Hugh chuckled. "Lucky fellow; just wish I did the same, although not women" he giggled.

"As I say Hugh, you're more than welcome here anytime; I'm sure I can find a suitable bedfellow for you."

He laughed and said he'd hold me to that. I then explained how my all male team fitted in and that Robert was my personal assistant who helped me run the estate, as far as those outside were concerned.

"He looks a very nice young man" he replied. I assured him he was.

When we'd finished we shook hands and again held them for a moment. I then leaned forward and we kissed. He wrapped his arms round me and hugged me tight. My still hard organ pressed against his and I felt his hands explore my butt.

"Oh god, that felt so good Stephen; haven't had someone do that to me for such a long time."

"Why not come for dinner on Saturday, if you're free and if you like stay the night."

He said he'd love that and we said farewell. I really liked Hugh and looked forward to getting to know him better.

I found Robert in the sitting room so told him what Hugh had told me.

"The bastard, fancy your step father not telling you that" he exclaimed. I had to agree but at least he was out of our hair. I then told Robert that Hugh was like us and he grinned.

"I had a feeling he might be; it was the way he shook my hand when he arrived. He's rather cute; wouldn't mind having some fun with him."

"You're a slut" I laughed.

"Yeah, and look who's talking" he giggled. "I've made a list of all the things we need done to the house; it's mainly decorating but there are a few maintenance things too." I sat beside Robert and kissed him. I knew he'd make an excellent assistant. "We also need to think about getting transport of some kind; I take it you're thinking of a car."

I said I was so said we'd go to London in the next day or so to see what we could find. Since Edward was to be our chauffeur we agreed to take him too. When we told him he jumped with joy and kissed us.

"I've also been thinking it would be good if we could install a swimming pool; it needn't be large but it would be good fun to swim naked like we used to at school and if it's inside we can use it all year round whereas the lake is only warm enough during the summer."

I agreed. We'd only once been to the lake since returning from school and having a swimming pool joined onto the house would be far better. Robert said he'd had a look to see where it could go and had decided it would fit in between the stable block and the house. We went to have a look and I agreed. The stables were now empty so would be converted into a garage for the car when we got it and we could make an entrance from the pool area into the corridor that led to the kitchen from the hallway. I knew there was a local builder in the village so I asked Robert to make contact and arrange for him to come round.

As always with tradesmen in those days, the builder was round first thing the following morning since he desperately needed the business. He too was a young man and explained his father was in the army fighting in France so had taken over the running of the family firm. He was a pleasant looking guy and I took delight in admiring his body, as did Robert from what I could see.

We first showed him which rooms we wanted redecorated and what other maintenance work Robert had listed. He gave me a rough cost which I accepted since it sounded okay to me although I didn't really have much idea. I then asked if his firm could build an extension and install a swimming pool. He said they most certainly could and became very excited at the idea of doing a job of this size. We took him outside and showed him what we had in mind. He took measurements and looked to see how easy it would be to knock a doorway through into the house.

"Looks fairly straight forward to me" he grinned and asked how soon we wanted the work done. I told him once he'd given me a quote for the work then we'd commence as soon as he could if it was reasonable. He said he'd have something written out by the end of the day.

As we were about to say goodbye I noticed the stable block. I suddenly realised that would need clearing out, have the stalls removed and made into a garage so I showed him that too. As I suspected it was full of hay that had been left when Perkins took the horses to London. It had happened so quickly that he'd not had time to clear it out. Since I'd decided I would never have horses again I asked him to add the job of clearing the place out, removing the stalls and replacing the large doors at the front which looked as if they'd seen better days. The guy finally left with a very satisfied look on his face.

Sure enough, by the end of the day he was back with his written quote which again seemed reasonable to me so I accepted it on the spot and arranged for him to start work. He had one guy who'd do the decorating in the house and another who would help him do the major building work outside.

Work commenced two days later. The decorator was an older guy who'd probably been too old for the army but he was good at decorating. The young lad who joined the builder was also very cute but everyone had to control their urges because he was probably very straight.

The day before the building work commenced, Robert and I travelled to London with Edward to purchase a car. Robert had made enquiries and obtained the address of a dealer. I ended up purchasing a Buick. It was a beauty and according to Edward drove like a dream when the salesman allowed him to have a drive. I knew nothing about cars so relied on Edward. All I wanted was something that would get me safely and reliably from place to place but I had to admit it seemed very good and reasonably comfortable. The salesman said it would be delivered to me in a week's time so we made our way home feeling on top of the world. Having no transport we'd had to use a hackney carriage to get to and from the station but the lad driving it was rather cute and smiled sweetly at us.

When we got in, Joseph was busy preparing the evening meal with Fred. The other guys were outside clearing some shrubbery. Robert looked at me and winked as we followed Edward upstairs.

"He's got a gorgeous arse don't you think Stephen."

I chuckled and said Edward did indeed have a gorgeous arse. Edward turned and grinned at us.

"You want to fuck it then?" he giggled.

"If you're offering, then yes" Robert replied so Edward followed us to our room on the first floor.

Within seconds we were all naked and Robert told Edward to go on all fours on the bed. I knelt in front of him so he could suck my cock whilst Robert rimmed him. Edward groaned and moaned with delight having a cock in his mouth and a tongue licking his arse. Robert then lubricated his stiff cock and pushed it in. Edward gasped with his lips still round my cock. As Robert fucked, Edward sucked. It was wonderful.

After a while we changed about and I fucked Edward whilst he sucked Robert. He had a beautiful arse to fuck and I loved doing so.

"How about I take both your cocks at the same time"

Robert and I looked at each other and nodded. If Edward wanted both our cocks inside him then we were happy to oblige so Robert lay down on the bed and Edward sat on his big thick long cock. When it was deep inside him I pushed him forward and slipped mine in too. It fitted perfectly and once in I started fucking.

"Fuck, yes; that feels so good" Edward exclaimed.

"Feels fucking wonderful" I said as I felt my flesh rubbing against Robert's.

"And for me" Robert agreed, "Keep fucking that arse Stephen; fuck it real hard."

"Yeah, want you both to shoot your load inside me" Edward yelled so I kept fucking until I could feel my seed rising. By the noises coming from Robert I guessed his was too so I increased the pace until my climax took over.

"Oh fuck" I yelled as my hot load shot out.

"Fuck, fuck" Robert yelled so I guessed his was too.

"Yeah, fill me up guys; want to feel your hot spunk dripping out my arse."

I giggled as I continued fucking to drain my cock. I so loved sex like this which was hot and dirty and I knew Robert did too.

"Fuck, that was good; thanks guys" Edward said once Robert and I were spent. I pulled out and Edward sat up whilst still sitting on Robert's cock. He then massaged his own until that too was spewing his load of creamy cum all over Robert's chest.

"Think I need a bath" I said and walked into our bathroom.

"Come on Edward, you can join us" Robert said so once the bath was filled all three of us climbed in with me at one end, Robert at the other and Edward sitting between my legs with his feet in Robert's crotch. Needless to say we played around some more until we'd each shot another load of man seed.

Once we'd finished and dried off, I pulled both guys into a kiss. "This is such a perfect life" I said when I'd finished.

"Too right it is; fucking perfect" Edward grinned and walked off naked with his discarded clothes under his arm.

When he'd gone, Robert took me into his arms and looked me in the eye. "You're right, it is a perfect life and I love you Stephen."

I told him I loved him too although I also loved the other guys but Robert was special without doubt.

"I think we should give Jo some attention this evening" I commented as we got dressed, "I'm conscious he's missing out with the rest of us having bed partners."

Robert grinned and said he was happy to give Jo a good fuck, which is what we did when we went to bed later that night. In fact he stayed the night with us since our bed was plenty large enough to sleep three.

I invited everyone to join the dinner party with Hugh but William and Fred said they'd not feel comfortable eating in the formal dining room. I was disappointed but understood why. This was a new life for them and felt happier with only the guys they knew. We agreed they'd serve us at dinner instead so Robert took them to see Mr Hawkins to fit them out with smart black trousers, white shirt and shoes. When they returned they put on a floor show for me. I told them they looked very smart and sexy which made them giggle. Robert had chosen tight fitting trousers which emphasised their pert butts beautifully and I knew Hugh would appreciate looking at them. Robert then trained them on how to serve at table.

When Hugh arrived, Edward showed him into the sitting room where Robert, Jo and I were waiting. I introduced him to those he hadn't met and Edward prepared drinks for everyone. Edward had become a useful member of the team and put his hand to whatever was required. Joseph was busy in the kitchen preparing the meal but would join us once it was ready.

Twenty minutes later he announced the meal was ready so we moved into the dining room. Edward and William had done a fantastic job with the table and I could see that Hugh was impressed. Joseph had cooked a joint of beef with all the trimmings so whilst he carved the meat from the sideboard, Fred fetched the vegetables and William served the wine. I was impressed at how proficiently he did so and smiled at him. I noticed Hugh doing the same as he admired Williams butt in his tight fitting trousers. Once Joseph had finished carving the meat and it had been served, he joined the party. Robert and I sat at each end of the table and I had Hugh, as our guest, sitting alongside me with Jo next to him. Edward and Joseph sat opposite. Whilst we ate, William and Fred returned to the kitchen to eat theirs.

Hugh congratulated Joseph on a beautifully cooked piece of beef and all that went with it. I had to agree that Joseph had excelled himself as usual and I could see he was chuffed at receiving such praise.

When the meal was over I thanked William and Fred for serving everything so well. They too were pleased to receive the praise and Hugh commented on how smart they looked in their outfits. As he said this I noticed his eyes were fixed on their crotch but they grinned and said 'thank you'.

Back in the living room Joseph served coffee whilst Edward served brandies and whiskies. Hugh was a brandy man so I had one too. I'd noticed at the dining table Hugh had made a point of talking to Jo was now sitting alongside him on one of the sofas. Jo seemed to enjoy the attention. Whilst we drank our coffee and after dinner drinks, William and Fred cleared up the dishes. I popped into the kitchen after a while to see how they were doing but they seemed happy enough.

"You can join us when you're done if you like." They agreed which pleased me since I so wanted everyone to feel part of the family and not servants. Eventually they did by which time Hugh was telling us stories of his university days and how a group of like minded guys frequently got together and had fun with each other.

"You mean they were like us" Edward commented.

Hugh nodded and told us some of the things they got up to. I could see William and Fred becoming more and more interested as he talked about nights of sex and orgies. "One night the six of us played a game of strip poker" he laughed as he recalled the occasion.

"Sounds like the end of year party the seniors held at boarding school" Robert chuckled.

The others wanted to know more so Robert regaled what had happened and how he and I had been required to serve the seniors naked and then fucked.

"Wow, fucking brilliant; perhaps we could play it" Fred grinned having now relaxed in Hugh's presence.

"That's a great idea" Hugh exclaimed, "How about it guys?"

Everyone looked at me to see my reaction. "It's fine by me if everyone is willing; how about you William?"

He nodded enthusiastically so a pack of cards was found and we sat in a circle on the floor. Since not everyone knew how to play proper Poker, Hugh suggested we simplify things. Four cards would be dealt to every player and the player with the lowest total in their hand would be the loser of that round so had to remove an item of clothing. It was agreed that numbered cards would be one point, a Jack two points, queen three points, king four points and an ace five points. It was also agreed that shoes and socks would be deemed as one item and that items had to be removed from the feet up so shirts would be last.

I was down to my shirt fairly soon but then stuck there for several rounds whilst others lost their clothes. Jo was the first to be naked and I could see Hugh enjoyed the view. The anticipation of seeing everyone naked in due course had also caused most cocks to get excited so he was sporting a semi erection. A few rounds later I lost my final item so was naked, soon to be followed by Robert. Finally it was Hugh and Fred who were left. They were down to their shirts and we could see that both were now very excited since their cocks were poking out. We'd taken it in turns to be the dealer and the pack was with me again. I shuffled the cards several times to mix them up and dealt four cards to each of them. They each turned them over and we all totalled them.

"Off, off, off" everyone cried having seen that Fred had the lowest score. Fred grinned, stood up and seductively removed his shirt, tossed it to one side and waggled his now hard cock.

"Now comes the interesting bit" Hugh laughed. I'd noted he'd drunk several brandies but then we'd all consumed a fair amount of alcohol yet it hadn't affected our sexual attributes from rising to the occasion.

He removed his shirt and for a moment we all gazed at his beautiful body. He was well toned and had a cock which was very thick and about eight inches long since it was now fully erect. He asked me to remove the picture cards from the pack and separate the red from the black. I then had to place one red card and one black face down and mix them around. Fred was invited to take one of the two cards but not turn it over.

"If it's a black, I get to pick a red card which determines what sexual act I perform on you" Hugh explained. "A jack means I suck your cock, a queen means I rim you and a king means I fuck you. If it's a red then you pick a card from the red pack and you perform a sexual act on me."

Everyone got excited and I asked if Fred was willing to take part.

"Fuck yes" he laughed and turned his card over. It was a black!

I turned the other one over just to show it was a red before putting the two back with the other ten picture cards. I gave them a good shuffle and fanned them out for Hugh to pick his card. It was a king of hearts!

Everyone cheered and told Fred he was about to be fucked by a big thick long cock.

"Bring it on; I love being fucked."

He was told to kneel with his arms outstretched which were then pulled down until his head rested on the floor. His butt was now high in the air. I asked Edward to pull Fred's butt cheeks wide open so I could finger the hole with a well lubricated finger to open him up. Hugh meanwhile was lubricating his rampant cock in readiness for his fuck. Edward and I stretched Fred's hole as wide as it would go and Hugh lined the head of his enormous cock up to it. We then watched it slowly slip inside.

"Fuck" Fred shouted as the head breached him but once inside I could tell he was enjoying it. "Yeah, fuck my hole" he yelled and others urged Hugh to do the same.

I looked at Edward and we grinned as we watched the thick long shaft slowly disappear inside Fred. Once it was fully in, we left Hugh to grab hold of Fred's buttocks and start fucking. The long cock looked like a piston moving in and out of Fred's channel as it moved back and forth in a straight line. Fred groaned and moaned with pleasure as it filled him up and then pulled right back to the entrance, before being thrust back inside again. Hugh was a master at fucking and I imagined having his long thick cock inside me. By the number of stiff cocks waving around, I reckoned others were too.

The action continued for a long time before Hugh's whole body tensed and his cock thrust inside again. Fred groaned and Hugh shouted "Ah, fuck" as his climax overcame him. He gave Fred several more strokes before finally pulling out. His cock was still dripping with spunk. Jo hastily went down on it and sucked him dry. Hugh looked at me and grinned. I could tell he really liked what Jo was doing and it gave me an idea.

Not wanting to miss out on some action, we used the cards to pair up the rest of us and then selected a card to see who would perform. I was paired with William and had the pleasure of fucking him since I drew a king. He had a beautiful arse to fuck and I enjoyed it immensely as did he from the groans and moans he made as I fucked.

When it was time to go to bed, William and Fred scurried upstairs having said goodnight to everyone. I could tell they'd really enjoyed themselves which made up for my disappointment of them not being with us for dinner. Before they left I again told them they'd both performed immaculately with their serving duties which made them leave with a big smile on their face. Joseph and Edward said goodnight and made their way leaving Robert, Jo, Hugh and me. I pulled Jo to one side and asked if he'd like to join Hugh for the night. He nodded enthusiastically which I took to mean yes so I asked Hugh if he'd like to go bed with Jo.

"Fuck, yes; thanks, if Jo's willing" he exclaimed clearly liking the idea. Jo nodded so they left hand in hand.

When they'd gone, Robert looked at me. "Are you matchmaking?" he giggled.

"Just for tonight because I had a feeling Hugh rather liked Jo and seeing that Jo immediately sucked Hugh's cock dry made me think he was interested too."

Robert giggled and grabbed hold of my now flaccid organ.

"Come on, I've got plans for this before we settle down for the night." I grinned and we hastily switched off lights, checked the house was secure and made our way upstairs.

As we walked to our room, we passed the guest room that Hugh and Jo were using. We could hear them at it already and we both giggled. I so loved it when guys enjoyed having fun with each other.

Once in our room, Robert told me to kneel on the bed with my head on the pillow. He lifted my arse high in the air and crawled beneath to suck my cock until it was rock hard. I couldn't see a thing since my head was buried in the pillow so all I could feel was his hot lips round my cock which was growing by the second. When it was rock hard he stopped, positioned himself behind me and fingered my hole. Once it was nicely opened up, he thrust his long hard cock right in. I grunted and groaned as he fucked me with vigour; it felt fucking wonderful. He reached between my open legs and grabbed my cock.

As he fucked, he massaged mine until I'd shot my load. When he'd spilt his hot cum inside me, he pulled out, turned me over and lay on top of me rubbing our two cocks together. We kissed passionately for several long minutes until I could feel another orgasm rising. As I shot another load, he did too.

"Oh god, I so fucking love you" he exclaimed before giving me another hard kiss.

We finally settled down with sticky cum on our bellies but we were so happy it didn't bother either of us.

A week after the successful dinner party with Hugh, the Buick arrived and everyone rushed out to see the new car. It had been driven by a very nice young man over whom everyone drooled. He seemed to enjoy the attention but nobody was too sure whether he was one of us or not. Edward was particularly excited as the young man went through all the controls and got him to drive the car down the drive and back to make sure he understood everything. As he parked in front of the house he beamed at me. I was so happy for him and knew he'd look after it like a baby.

The builder had cleaned out the stable block, removed the stalls, replaced the front doors and installed a partition at one end of the now large area to divide it off for the new car. The other part would contain the pump and filtration unit for the pool which was to be installed between the stable block, now called the garage, and the house. Work would start in earnest the following week as would the redecoration inside the house.

The young man who'd delivered the car needed a lift to the station so he could return to London, so Robert and I joined Edward for the trip since we were keen to see how the car rode. Once we'd dropped the young man off and thanked him for coming, Edward drove us for a short ride. I had to admit, the car was very comfortable and as we sailed along the byways and noticed people looking, I felt so proud. Robert and I were sitting in the back so I put my hand on his thigh and squeezed it. He grinned and moved it into his crotch for me to have a feel. As usual he was soon hard so I fondled him through his trousers. Edward realised we were up to something and looked in the rear mirror.

"What are you guys up to?" he laughed.

"You concentrate on driving Edward" Robert chuckled, "I'm being serviced rather nicely back here."

"Lucky bugger" he laughed.

The building work took a month to complete. Four beefy looking guys stripped to the waist dug out the hole for the pool and the footings for the end walls since the house wall and the sturdy wall to the stable block provided the side walls. Concrete was then mixed and poured to make the footings, the base and the sides of the pool. Once this had set, a brick layer arrived to build the end walls. He too was a beefy looking guy but his mate was very pleasant to look at. With the war still on, workmen were either too old or too young to join the army so made an interesting mix. I'd decided that the front wall would be solid but the back wall would contain windows and the roof would be tiled to match the stable block. The only access would be via the house having decided there was little point in the pool being accessible from the garden. The builder had said if I changed my mind at any time, a doorway could easily be punched through the end wall in any event.

Once the groundwork had been completed things seemed to happen quickly and the guy whose job it was to lay the tiles for the pool and the surrounding area arrived. He too was an older guy but very good at his job from what I could see. The young lad who'd been the bricklayer's mate also acted as mate for the tile layer so we enjoyed watching him work stripped to the waist most days.

Finally the specialist company who had to fit the pump and filtration unit arrived. The water supply and drainage system had already been completed by the builder in the early part of the project so it only took two days to install everything and test it out.

Whilst all this had been going on, the decorator had been busy inside the house. He was a good worker and I was pleased with the result. We ended up having almost everywhere redecorated in the end since Robert and I decided we needed to modernise the look.

Finally the day came when the redecoration was finished, the pool was complete and filled with warm water; we were all aching to try it out. I'd decided to install a pool that was large enough to play around in rather than swim seriously so it was smaller than a normal swimming baths but plenty large enough to splash around in and have fun. As soon as the builder had cleared his debris and removed his tools, we all stripped naked and ran round to the pool.

I was given the privilege of jumping in first which I did with a big splash. The others quickly followed and we enjoyed splashing and playing with each other. By the time we clambered out, erections were flying high so they were serviced at the side of the pool.

Edward in his usual efficient way had made sure a supply of towels and lubricant was at hand and someone had the bright idea that to celebrate the pool's installation I should be fucked by the other six so I ended up with a sore arse.

The swimming pool became a popular pastime for everyone when the day's work had been done and they wanted to relax. They'd strip off, shower and walk naked to the pool where lots of fun would take place, often ending in sex of some sort. Hugh became a regular visitor so he invariably joined in. He never minded showing his all and using his enormous cock to good effect. Although he liked being fucked, he much preferred using his tool to pleasure others.

It was October and the summer weather was long gone. Hugh was visiting again but he no longer expected to be dined as a guest so was happy to join everyone in the kitchen. He and Jo had got to know each other rather well by now, although neither saw their friendship being more than just sexual when they were together. As such, Jo always slept with him in a guest room and from what Jo told me they had lots of sex. That night was to be no exception and he looked forward to it.

It was a Saturday so Hugh arrived early afternoon. As soon as he'd done so he asked if he could see me and Robert privately. I took him into my study which only Robert and I used so was never frequented by the others. For a moment I was worried that something might be wrong but once we'd sat down he grinned.

"A friend has told me about a party taking place in Oxford next weekend. I don't know the guy who's holding it but from what my friend says anyone of our kind is welcome. I'm told it will be fairly wild, if past events are anything to go by, so is likely to involve naked romps and lots of sucking and fucking. I was wondering if you guys would be interested in joining me and perhaps invite Edward and Joseph."

I looked at Robert and he grinned. "Yeah, sounds wicked and I'm sure Edward and Joseph would love to come."

Hugh added that he would have invited the other three but didn't want to arrive with a party of eight even though his friend had said anyone could go. I also got the impression he felt they would not feel comfortable with the kind of people going since it was at Lord Crowley's country estate. As soon as I could I asked Edward and Joseph to join me in my study.

"Is something wrong Stephen?" Joseph asked.

I smiled and told them everything was fine as I asked them to sit down and I perched on the edge of my desk. I told them about the party at Crowley Hall and what Hugh had said about it. "Hugh has invited the four of us if you're interested."

"Fuck yes" Edward said excitedly.

I looked at Joseph who always thought things through first before answering.

"Yeah, sounds great fun."

"You do realise it's basically a sex party and they'll be lots of nudity and sex so you must be prepared to run round naked and take part."

"You bet" Edward grinned. Joseph also nodded looking just as excited at the thought of what would happen.

We decided not to tell the other three guys exactly what the party was since they'd not be going. I didn't want them to feel they were being left out, which of course they were but I could understand Hugh's reasons for not inviting them. I'd make sure I gave them another treat sometime. With that agreed we went to join Hugh and the others who were now in the pool.

After an enjoyable time having fun in the pool, we climbed out and dried off. As usual we were all sexually excited. Hugh looked at me and grinned. I could see he was angling to have sex with me so we left the others having fun on the side of the pool. I'd had some special mattresses made up that had a waterproof cover and were ideal to lie on and have sex by the pool.

Hugh and I walked naked upstairs to the room he was using. Once there he pulled me into a passionate kiss. We'd never kissed like this before.

"Want to fuck you" he whispered. His cock was rock hard as was mine.

"How'd you want to take me?"

He said he wanted to feel my hot naked body against his so he told me to lay face down on the bed. I felt him spread my legs wide open, then pull my buttocks apart and lick my hole. I gasped as his hot tongue licked across the entrance making me squirm with excitement.

"You've got such a beautiful arse Stephen."

I smiled and enjoyed what he was doing. He then inserted two lubricated fingers and explored my passage. He hit my special spot which sent me into raptures.

"Mm, love fingering your arse"

He continued doing so for what seemed like ages and I was itching to feel his big hot cock inside me. Suddenly he pulled his fingers out and I felt the large head of his cock push against my entrance. I relaxed knowing how large it was. As I felt it squeeze through my ring of muscle I held my breath waiting for the sharp pain I knew would come. Once in I breathed again and felt his thick shaft fill my channel.

"Oh yes, a gorgeous arse to fuck" he cried out and thrust his thick cock in and out like a piston.

As he fucked I imagined him fucking guys at the party and hopefully me too since I loved the feel of his long thick cock inside me.

"Oh fuck" he shouted a few minutes later, "I'm coming". I'd seen him shoot his load on several occasions so imagined the ribbons of white creamy man seed filling me up.

He remained inside me for several more minutes as he kissed the back of my neck. His hot sexy body lay on top of mine and it felt wonderful. Every so often he'd push his hot rod deep inside me and that too felt good. I loved Robert and I loved having sex with him, but when Hugh had sex with me it was pure unadulterated sex which I rather liked. I'd watched Hugh fuck Robert and I could sense he felt the same way but it didn't affect the relationship he and I had because we loved each other so much.

The journey to Oxford took almost three hours and I found it tedious. We'd left early that Saturday morning having been told by Hugh to arrive late morning. I'd spoken to Jo, William and Fred after Hugh had left and told them that Edward and Joseph were joining me and Robert to a house party at Lord Crowley's estate. They seemed to understand why they'd not been invited and were happy about it.

"You can have a weekend of fun on your own" I said, "so no work, just relax and enjoy".

They grinned and looked at each other. I knew they all got on well with one another so guessed they'd enjoy plenty of sex.

Edward drove as usual with Joseph sitting beside him. Robert and I were in the back and every so often he laid a hand on my thigh before feeling in my crotch. I held it there and let him feel my cock which was already getting hard at the thought of what the weekend was likely to bring. I slipped a hand into his and he too was hard as usual. Finally we arrived and Edward parked the car at the front of the large house.

"Fuck, this is some place" Edward gasped.

I had no idea how many rooms it had but we could all see it was three or four times the size of Holland House. As soon as we'd climbed out the car, a young lad came running towards us from the house. He only looked to be sixteen or seventeen and had a very nice body on him. What's more, he was dressed in just a loin cloth which consisted of a single piece of material held round his waist with a cord. His buttocks were naked and it was beautiful. His smooth chest had a design painted on it and his face had red, green and blue stripes.

"Welcome to Crowley Hall" he greeted us as he went to take the two bags we'd brought. Hugh had said we wouldn't need any clothes since we were to be provided with a costume so only needed our toiletries.

As we followed him into the house our eyes were on his beautiful butt. He was truly gorgeous. Inside we were met by another guy who looked to be in his early thirties. He too was dressed in a loin cloth but his had two pieces of material so covered his bum, as well as hiding his genitals.

"Good morning gentlemen, welcome to Crowley Hall; I'm Brad and this is Thomas."

We all looked at Thomas and smiled at him. He smiled back and I felt my heart strings go ping.

"Thomas will show you to your rooms and help you put on your costumes before bringing you back downstairs where a light luncheon is available for you."

We followed Thomas's naked butt upstairs and grinned at each other. He led us up to the second floor and took us into a room with a large double bed. I looked at the bed and wondered whether he was going to show us another room.

"Your clothes can be left in this room but the party is in the east wing. Bedrooms have not been allocated in that wing since it's up to guests who they decide to sleep with so you just choose an empty room." As he told us this he smiled knowingly and we did too.

"So gentlemen, if you'd like to remove your clothes I'll help you on with your loin cloth and paint your chest and face."

I noticed four loin cloths laid out on the bed in readiness, along with headgear. Seeing that he was going to stand there and watch us strip naked we all set to. He told us to leave our clothes on the bed and he'd hang them up for us later. Once stripped, he fitted our loin cloths. These were like Brad's so our bums were covered although only with a narrow strip of material. He then used body paint to produce a design on our chests and place stripes on our cheeks. The costume was completed with a headdress. Since I was the leader of our tribe, mine was a hat made of fur. The others had a simple band. We viewed ourselves in the long mirror and giggled. I had a feeling we were going to have a great time this weekend and we weren't going home until Monday morning. Once we were complete, Thomas looked at us and smiled.

"If I may say so gentlemen you all look very sexy."

"And you Thomas" Edward replied as he placed a hand on Thomas's naked butt.

Thomas clearly enjoyed the compliment and said he was there to serve us throughout the weekend so not to hesitate to ask him for anything. By the wicked grin he had on his face I got the feeling that meant literally anything but time would tell. As he led us downstairs, I asked how many guests were expected. He told me twelve plus Lord Crowley.

"And have you attended one of these parties before?" I asked.

"Oh yes, several times; everybody has great fun; you just need to let your hair down as it were and let it all happen." He then leaned towards me and whispered "And there's plenty of sex."

"Excellent; we're all looking forward to that."

"So am I" he grinned.

He led us into a large room in which ten other guys were standing around all dressed in similar attire to ours. I quickly estimated that not one was more than about twenty five and from what I could see they all had stunning bodies.

"Hello darlings" a guy suddenly called out. I immediately realised this must be Lord Crowley since his loin cloth and headdress was much grander than everyone else's.

I explained we'd been invited by Hugh and then saw him deep in conversation with another guy. He glanced over and waved.

"Well, you're all most welcome" he said as he looked at our semi naked bodies. "I shall look forward to getting to know you better over the weekend" he added with a very flirtatious grin. I for one looked forward to it since I could already see he was excited beneath his loin cloth which was lifting out in front. He also told us his name was Stuart and said there was to be no formality.

"We're here to party and have a good time, so I hope your cocks are in good order" he grinned.

We assured him they were ready and waiting which he said was great. Hugh had now joined us with the guy he'd been talking to.

"Hi guys, this is my friend Dominic; we were at university together."

We all shook Dominic's hand with our eyes admiring each other's nakedness.

"It's lovely to meet you guys; Hugh's told me so much about you and I understand you've made him feel very welcome at your house Stephen."

I smiled wondering what Hugh had told him. It was much later that Hugh explained Dominic had been his boyfriend at college and who'd been forced into marriage. Somehow he'd managed to get away for the weekend to enjoy lots of sex with guys.

Over the next hour or two we helped ourselves to the buffet style food that was available and to whatever drinks we wanted as we got to know each other. Thomas and another equally attractive young man moved round the room offering us things as we did so. The final guest had arrived so the full complement was now ready to party. Everyone was very nice and as the alcohol flowed, hands began to wander to have a good feel beneath our loin cloth.

"Can I have everyone's attention please" Stuart announced. Everyone stopped talking and looked to where he was standing. "I thought we'd start things off with a contest during which you'll get to know each other even better".

We all giggled guessing what that meant and he explained we'd be paired off and each pair would wrestle each other to the ground.

"Nothing too vigorous; we don't want anyone hurt, so take it gently and let yourself go because the real enjoyment will be once you're on the ground. The person who manages to pin the other down, can decide what sexual act they wish to perform, provided it involves rimming, sucking or fucking. You need to look at your opponent's chest to know whether they can be fucked or not. A circle with an arrow through it means they can and a circle with a cross means you can't so you'll have to resort to sucking or rimming."

We all looked at each other now realising the signs Thomas had painted on our chest. He'd casually asked before doing so if we were all versatile and having said we were, he'd drawn a circle with an arrow through it. He was standing nearby and I noticed he too had a similar design so smiled at him. I rather fancied getting my cock into his cute arse at some point.

"The winners from those six rounds will be paired off and wrestle again. Those winners will be paired with Thomas, Jacob and me for a final wrestle."

Everyone cheered rather looking forward to watching guys wrestling and fucking, since we all knew that was the most likely outcome.

Stuart led us into another room which was clear of furniture and had a large wrestling mat on the floor. Thomas and Jacob gave each of us a number which indicated our pairings. I was number seven so knew I'd been paired with number eight whoever that was. I checked with Robert, Edward and Joseph and it was none of them. In fact we'd all been paired with one of the other guests. Stuart told us to get into pairs and I found mine. He was a gorgeous guy and didn't look as strong as me so I looked forward to fucking him having noticed the circle and arrow on his chest. His name was Leo and he was twenty years old.

Robert and his partner were first to go so I looked on with great interest. The guy he was wrestling was good and soon had Robert on the ground but he quickly got the upper hand and within a few minutes had pinned the other guy down by sitting on him and holding his arms outstretched. During the wrestle they'd each pulled off their loin cloths so two naked bodies were on show. Stuart declared Robert the winner and he quickly turned the guy over onto his stomach before lifting his butt in the air. The other guy was helpless so had to accept what was coming to him. I felt proud of my lover and could see he was ready and waiting to give the guy a good fuck. Stuart squirted his cock with body oil and told him to stuff it into the guy's arse. Robert did and the guy winced as he pushed it in. Once in, Robert gave him a good hard fuck. Everyone had crowded round and was urging him on.

"Yeah, give that arse a good hard fuck" guys were telling him. Robert did so, much to everyone's approval. When he was done, he pulled out, turned the guy round and kissed him which I thought was rather nice.

Each couple followed a similar routine whilst the rest of us watched. It was very erotic and most cocks were riding high. It was then my turn so Leo and I walked onto the mat and prepared to wrestle. Like the others we too ripped off our loin cloths whilst wrestling so were now totally naked since we'd removed our headgear before starting. I was surprised at how good Leo was but in the end I had him on the mat and pinned down. I had a feeling he was hoping I'd do so because he wanted to feel my big cock inside him. I turned him over and lifted his arse off the ground ready to fuck. My cock was already hard so once oiled I plunged it into Leo's arse.

"Yeah, fuck that arse" the onlookers roared so I did just that. Leo told me afterwards that he loved being fucked hard so enjoyed every second.

Eventually the wrestling was over and Stuart suggested we all bathe and have a rest since dinner would be served in just over an hour. I noticed our loin cloths had disappeared so asked Thomas what we were to wear for dinner.

"As you are" he grinned looking at my nakedness. "The loin cloths were only to get things started; from now on everyone will spend the weekend naked, including us" he grinned.

"Well I certainly shan't mind that" I laughed and grabbed hold of his cock.

"Before guys pair off for tonight, any chance of us sleeping together?" he asked. For a moment I was stunned but having realised I'd be spending the night with a gorgeous seventeen year-old I immediately said yes. Robert and I had already agreed that we'd find another bed partner for the night as had Joseph and Edward. We'd decided there was no point in attending a sex party if you're not going to make good use of it.

I looked round for Edward and Joseph and couldn't see them. Robert giggled and said they'd gone off with the guys they'd wrestled with. Hugh then joined us and asked if we'd like to join him in his room for a bit of fun. I knew he'd come with Dominic so wondered where he was.

"Gone off with Stuart; seems they know each other rather well" Hugh grinned "But he's promised to spend the night with me."

Robert and I were happy to join Hugh for some fun so we followed him to his room which was on the first floor. Before either of us could do anything, Hugh had us on the bed and was sucking our cocks and rimming us. I'd noticed since meeting him that his sexual appetite was never ending, not that we minded. When he'd given us a good suck and a good arse lick, he told us to get on our knees with our heads down on the bed and our arses high in the air.

"Gonna give you guys a good fuck and I'm gonna move from one to the other so get ready guys."

Robert and I giggled as he prepared his cock for his onslaught. I felt the big head of his cock breach me and the whole shaft push right in. As always it felt wonderful as he fucked. After several long hard fucks, he pulled out and I heard Robert grunt his approval. Hugh then moved back and forth between us, each time thrusting his long fat hard cock into our arse with one thrust. I heard him cry out "Oh fuck" so I guessed he was about to shoot his load. Within seconds he was pulling out and I heard Robert grunt as he had the big cock invade his arse again before it was back in mine. This continued for several minutes until Hugh finally stopped giggling like a schoolboy.

"That was fucking gorgeous; now I want you guys to fuck me, preferably together."

"You want us to double fuck you" Robert clarified.

"Yeah, want to feel both your gorgeous cocks up my arse together and give me a good fuck before both shooting your load; want my arse dripping with your beautiful cum when you've finished."

Robert and I grinned and told Hugh to go on his knees like we'd been. I climbed across him and shoved my rampant cock into his arse which Robert had lubricated. I then felt Robert thrust his in beneath mine. Robert slowly fucked and I could feel the head of his cock rubbing against my naked flesh. It was fucking wonderful. After a while, we changed over and I fucked whilst Robert held his in place. We continued for several minutes before each of us yelled "Fuck, I'm coming" and filled Hugh up with lots of spunk.

"That was great", Hugh exclaimed and pulled us both into a passionate kiss. He really was a lovely guy and I loved him to bits.

We each had a bath and returned downstairs to the room we'd started in. The buffet table was filled with food so we all dived in. As we ate, Thomas and Jacob went round filling our glasses with wine. On their travels they received plenty of attention but I had the feeling they were used to it.

The food was delightful and I asked Thomas who'd prepared it. He told me Brad had done so with his and Jacob's help since the usual cook and kitchen staff had been sent off for the weekend. I told him to pass on my compliments because he certainly deserved it.

Once the meal was over we relaxed for a while to let it settle although I noticed several guys having a good suck of those nearby. Dominic had joined us with Hugh so we heard all about the antics they got up to whilst at college. Stuart then announced that one of the guys wanted to be fucked by everyone else.

"Seems he wants to have spunk dripping out his arse so I hope you've all got plenty to offer" he laughed. Everyone liked the idea, especially when they realised it was one of the younger guys who I later found out was eighteen. He was bent over a table and one by one we each fucked him so by the time he was done, he'd had fourteen cocks up his arse.

The rest of the evening was a free for all with guys having sex wherever you looked. Robert and I had plenty of action including several threesomes and from what I could see, Edward and Joseph did too. It was one in the morning by the time guys made their way to bed with the man of their choice. Robert and I kissed each other goodnight before he disappeared with another guy and I went off with Thomas. I never saw the other two so assumed they'd each found partners.

Thomas led me up to one of the rooms in the east wing on the first floor. Once inside he pulled me onto the bed and made passionate love. We kissed for almost five minutes before moving to other parts of our anatomy. He wanted to suck my cock and lick me out so I just lay back and enjoyed the feel of his hot tongue work its magic. I then gave him an equally good suck until it was time to fuck him again.

"Want my arse well and truly fucked" he giggled.

I was more than happy to do that so having lubricated my rock hard cock I plunged in and fucked. Having shot so much cum within recent hours I was able to keep going for a good twenty minutes before I finally succumbed. I'd fucked him on his back and he grinned at me when I finally shot my load.

"Fucking beautiful"

"You want to fuck me now?"

"Nope, but you'll wake up to me doing so" he laughed.

"Can't wait"

He did too and I felt his stiff cock gently fucking me as I woke. It felt wonderful so I remained still letting him continue until he'd shot his morning load. He then told me to fill his arse up with cum.

"Sorry, got to go and help Brad with breakfast but see you later" he grinned as he ran off.

I had a leisurely bath and when done made my way downstairs. Several guys were already there and eventually Robert appeared with a satisfied grin on his face. He was shortly followed by Joseph and Edward who said they'd had Jacob with them all night.

"We fucked him senseless most of the night" Edward giggled.

The rest of the day was spent fucking, eating and more fucking. I did get fucked by Stuart at one point since he decided he wanted to fuck every guy at the party. That night Hugh said he'd love to sleep with me. Having checked that Robert had a partner for the night, I agreed. Joseph and Edward had found another for a threesome so they too were happy.

As before Hugh made passionate love with me before giving me a wonderful fuck. I was getting very used to his big long fat cock although I still loved the feel of Robert's inside me. Robert was a gentle loved whereas Hugh was intense but fortunately I didn't mind. Robert would always be the one for me and Hugh knew it but he never gave up an opportunity to fuck each of us whenever he could.

On the Monday morning we made our way home having thanked Stuart for a wonderful time. He told Hugh that he must make sure he brought his four friends to the next one and we said we'd love to come again. It was so wonderful to be with a group of guys all of the same sexual persuasion and nobody cared a fuck which was why I loved the six guys I had in my life and so hoped it would continue for many years to come.

The war ended on 11 November 1918 and initially there was celebration until the reality of the terrible losses set in, so for many like Fred and William there was sadness having lost parents or loved ones. The ending was a surprise to many since it came so suddenly. In our household we'd not been that affected since we were now a close knit family unit so we didn't celebrate like some in the village.

As the days passed, I noted that Jo was looking depressed which was unlike him. I asked him several times if he was okay or feeling unwell but he just shrugged his shoulders. Then one day whilst we were all in the pool, I again noticed he was not joining in the fun and games so I climbed out and took him into my arms.

"What's the matter Jo? I can tell something's wrong. Talk to me please."

"What's going to happen when your father comes back? Will I still be the estate manager?"

For a moment I couldn't understand what he was on about as we'd heard that the previous estate manager had been lost in action, but then I realised. I'd only told Robert what Hugh had said about me owning Holland House, the house in London and the bank. I hugged our naked bodies together and kissed him. Jo had been my first real friend so I'd known him for many years and had a special place in my heart for him. At times he seemed vulnerable so I made it my responsibility to make sure he was looked after.

"He's never coming back here; he's gone for good."

"Gone, but why; I thought this was his house."

I explained it had never been his house since it had belonged to my mother's family and had been put in trust on her death until I was eighteen. I also told him the man I'd thought to be my father was in fact a stepfather as my own father had died just before I was born.

"Likewise the house in London and the bank belongs to me so my stepfather owns none of it but he's allowed to live at the London house for his lifetime."

"Fuck I had no idea. So that's why you have the title of Earl since it passed down from your real father when he died."

I told him even I wasn't aware of all this until Hugh told me so I wasn't surprised he didn't know but I kicked myself for not telling Jo earlier.

"I'm sorry Jo, I should have told you; you mean a lot to me so you're the estate manager for as long as I'm around and for as long as you want to be."

He gave me one of his winning smiles and hugged me. I felt our naked cocks press against each other and it felt good so I put my arms round him to hold us tight as we kissed. By now, the others were wondering what was going on so I asked them to join us. I told everyone what I'd told Jo so everyone knew the whole story.

"So you're the Earl of Hertfordshire" Edward commented.

"Yes although I don't throw it around that much."

"Does that mean we have to call you sir?" Fred giggled.

"No but I shall expect extra fucks" I laughed.

This caused everyone to become somewhat amorous and I suddenly found myself lying on one of the mattresses by the pool with Jo all over me. It became very passionate and we soon both had erections that needed satisfying. Jo lifted himself onto my cock and sat down on it. He then rode it up and down giggling away. It felt wonderful and I pulled him down for a kiss whilst my cock was still embedded inside him. Seeing my cock up Jo's arse, Fred moved up and pressed his against Jo's hole. Without saying anything he slipped his in alongside mine and double-fucked Jo who just accepted it without question. I guessed they'd done this before seeing that Jo clearly enjoyed it. For that matter I did too since the head of my cock was now being excited by Fred's. The others looked on and I smiled at Robert.

"Give his arse a good fuck Fred" Edward laughed so Fred increased the pace and soon had both of us shooting our load.

Meanwhile Jo and I were still in a passionate kiss, so whilst Fred fucked, Jo tongue fucked my mouth. It was a beautiful moment with the guy I'd loved most of my life. When the action came to an end and Fred had pulled out, Jo lifted off me, grinning as he did so. No longer was Jo sad and he was back to his normal jovial self. Robert then knelt across me and we kissed passionately.

"I love you so much and all the guys love you too" he whispered.

"You're still the extra special one for me."

"I know, and that's why I love you so much; you love me but also open your heart to the rest of the guys who need your love as much as me; I'm the happiest guy in the world."

"Hugh has invited us to another sex party but this one is in Cambridge at the house of two college friends" I told Robert a few weeks later.

"Two more friends like us I assume" Robert grinned.

"Seems like it; Hugh says it will be similar to Lord Crowley's but on a small scale and we can take Jo, Fred and William to this one."

We discussed it and decided we'd accept since it would provide the perfect opportunity to make up for leaving the three of them behind before. I asked them to come and see me and gave them the news.

"Fucking hell; that's great" Fred exclaimed excitedly.

William was also as excited but less vocal. He asked whether Edward and Joseph would also be attending and I explained since they'd gone to the party at Crowley Hall, we felt it was only fair the three of them should attend this one.

"That was a posh one but this is not" Fred giggled.

"You could say that although I suspect the sex will be the same" I laughed having decided to come clean about the other party.

"No wonder Edward had such a grin on his face when you all returned from Crowley Hall" Fred laughed.

I then had to explain that Hugh was restricted as to how many he could invite to that one and in view of the number of upper crust guys there they'd probably have felt out of place.

The party was the following weekend so I now had to inform Edward and Joseph that they'd be staying behind. Since Edward was not with us, Robert was driving having learnt how to do so. Mechanical things were beyond my comprehension.

Hugh had told me that his friends Dudley and Albert were naturists so to expect being naked for the weekend. Since we spent hours in a state of undress it didn't bother any of us. He'd also told me that Dudley was a black African. His father was the tribal chief at his home village and had sent his son to England for an education. What he hadn't reckoned on was that his son would come to terms with his sexuality and meet a guy who he fell in love with whilst obtaining his legal degree. When Dudley opened the door we all silently gasped. Standing there was a gorgeous black man with a beautiful smile and smooth skin. He was wearing a skimpy bathrobe that only just covered his genitals.

"Hi, you must be Stephen, welcome."

He invited us in and I introduced the others. Hugh had arrived the previous day and Dudley told us he and Alfred were in the conservatory. He led us upstairs and explained he and Alfred were naturists at home but we were to do as we wished.

"We don't mind being in the buff, do we guys" Fred chuckled.

I sensed that Dudley was pleased to hear that by the wide grin on his face. The house had four bedrooms so we'd agreed that Jo would share with Hugh which pleased them. Having showed us our respective rooms, Dudley left us to strip off and join them downstairs.

"Wow, he's gorgeous" Robert whispered once we were in our room. I had to agree and I couldn't wait to see Dudley naked because I had a feeling he was very well endowed.

Once undressed, we made our way downstairs. The conservatory was an extension on the back of the sitting room with solid walls both sides and a glass roof with what looked like a muslin material draped beneath it. We were told this had been fitted so that nosey neighbours couldn't look in from the houses next door. The house backed onto Parkers Piece so overlooked a large area of grass where dog owners exercised their pets.

Hugh came forward to welcome us and introduced Albert who was shorter than Dudley and very slim. Dudley served drinks and as he did so I watched his large black cock swinging like a pendulum between his legs. I couldn't take my eyes off it.

It was early December and the winter weather was upon us but inside we were as warm as toast due to the roaring fire in the sitting room, the heat from which heated the conservatory where we were now showing off our nakedness. We drank and chatted, with Dudley relaying stories about what the three of them had got up to at college. As he did so I admired his beautiful black body imagining what it would feel like to have his black cock inside me. I'd not met many black men before and certainly not one who'd got a law degree. He fascinated me and I liked him a lot.

After lunch things became sexual which was was probably due to the wine we'd consumed. Dudley got us into a circle on the floor and was crawling round sucking our cocks. When he'd got me hard he said he wanted me to fuck him.

"But I shall want to fuck you after" he giggled.

Within seconds I'd positioned myself behind him and thrust my hard cock into his arse. He groaned with pleasure as I fucked until I'd shot my load. Once done we changed places and he fucked me. It felt wonderful. After me he fucked the other guys. Just watching his long black cock slide in and out of each arse was a beautiful sight. He certainly loved fucking.

That night in bed, Robert and I made beautiful love. As much as I loved sex with other guys, making love with him was always the best. On the Sunday afternoon we drove home. Dudley said he'd love to see us again sometime and I said he must come to Holland House. When we arrived home Edward and Joseph wanted to know all about our trip to Cambridge. Robert and I left William and Fred giving a detailed account.

I'd just celebrated my twenty-first birthday when I received a letter from Mary. She hated using the telephone so always wrote.

`Your stepfather is in a permanent state of drunkenness. He never seems to stop drinking. In addition he invites numerous women to the house, all prostitutes of course, and often with other men. The house is like a brothel at times. The work they cause and the worry of what might happen has forced me to employ a young man. If you could Stephen, I'd like you to vet him so was wondering if you could visit the house.'

At the same time I received a call from the managing director of the bank. "We need an urgent meeting Stephen" but he said he couldn't say more over the telephone. I agreed to go to London the very next day so called the house in Bloomsbury and said I'd be there mid morning. It seemed my stepfather seldom appeared until late morning but in any event I told the young man I spoke to I'd go in the back entrance since the last thing I wanted was to bump into my stepfather. I called the bank and said I'd be there late morning.

I asked Robert to accompany me saying he'd be introduced as my personal assistant. When I arrived at the house Mary took me into her arms and kissed me. She'd been like a mother to me all my life and I loved her dearly.

Samuel, the new member of staff, was a year older than me and when we shook hands and looked into each other's eyes I sensed he was very much like Robert and me. Robert said the same later so we were fairly sure he was a homosexual. I guessed my father was too drunk to notice but of course he treated all servants like dirt under his feet so had probably never spoken to Samuel apart from barking his needs. Fortunately the only money he had access to was what he received from the bank as Chairman. My uncle had the foresight to remove valuable family heirlooms from the house before he died so all that remained were copies which were worthless. He'd done the same at Holland House just in case my stepfather took it into his head to sell things off for his own benefit. None of this came to light until after he'd left the house and Hugh told me these items had been stored at the bank for safekeeping. I had the items from Holland House reinstated but those from the Bloomsbury house remained stored.

Samuel seemed a very sensible guy so I endorsed his appointment. He informed me that he'd keep a tight watch on my stepfather and provide me with weekly updates of what he was up to. I also gave him the authority to refuse entry to prostitutes and unsavoury men if they were not accompanied by my stepfather. It seemed the house had become a knocking shop and all kinds arrived asking for him.

When I announced myself at the bank the lady at reception clearly knew who I was and almost curtsied to me which I found amusing. She grabbed one of the junior clerks and instructed him to take us up to the executive offices.

"I'll let Mr Hunter know you are on your way."

Charles Hunter, the managing director, was a man in his mid fifties and oozed charm and efficiency. I'd met him once before as a child but couldn't remember him. As we reached the third floor he met us and warmly shook my hand. I introduced Robert as my personal assistant and he too was greeted with the same warmth. He took us into his sumptuous office and asked his secretary to bring us tea. Whilst we waited we talked pleasantries and how I was managing the estate now my stepfather had moved out. How he knew this I never asked but replied that with Robert's assistance we were doing well.

"Robert is particularly good with figures so provides me with detailed income and expenditure accounts."

"Ah, always good to have someone around you who's good with accounts." He smiled at Robert and I sensed that Robert's standing had definitely gone up a notch.

The more we talked, the more I liked and respected Charles so felt the bank was in good hands. Eventually the tea arrived and the secretary poured it from an ornate silver teapot into bone china cups. When she'd left us, Charles began.

"I'm sorry to ask you to come Stephen without saying what it's about but only I and my deputy are aware of the sensitive topic I need to speak to you about." He paused before continuing. "It's about your stepfather."

"I guessed it might be." He raised his eyebrows impressed at my deduction. "I'll come straight to the point Stephen; your stepfather has become the laughing stock of the City and an embarrassment to the bank; if we don't do something, it will affect the business, and none of us want that."

"I agree. So why can't he be removed as chairman and as a director?" Charles looked slightly shocked at my immediate solution. "You may not be aware that we have no love for each other and it was only three years ago that I was told he was not my birth father; and not from him I should add. It was when he announced he was leaving Holland House that he commented that it had never belonged to him so I spoke to the family solicitor who told me everything. The man has always hated me and I him so I have no loyalty towards him."

For a moment I could see Charles was shocked. "You mean he never explained during your childhood that your father died just days before your birth and he married her just a month later?"

"Never, and for that I shall never forgive him. So, having read the Trust document I believe it only requires my support plus a majority vote from the board to have him removed for good reason."

"My, for someone so young you have a good grasp on things."

"Shall we say I've had to due to my stepfather's inadequacies; do I also assume the reason he's a laughing stock and an embarrassment is his drinking and womanising?"

Charles nodded and added that he frequently arrived at the bank in a drunken state and was aggressive to staff.

"That would seem to me to be good reason to have him removed so how do we go about doing so?"

He was clearly relieved at my willingness to act so produced a pre-prepared document which detailed the misconduct and the board's decision to remove him with my endorsement. I read it through and passed it over to Robert to do likewise.

"So, this will remove him as chairman and as a director but allow him to remain living in the Bloomsbury house with a small pension for the rest of his life and if he refuses to sign this he loses the right to live at the house and gets no pension" Robert clarified.

"Yes, assuming Stephen agrees to that. The Trust does allow you to remove him from the house if you wish Stephen."

I replied that I was not that heartless and explained I now had an employee at the house that would be keeping an eye on things and reporting back to me on a regular basis. Charles was again impressed and smiled.

"And will he be banned from entering the bank?" Robert asked.

Charles felt that was a good point so added it to the document. I also asked that a sentence be added that said if he continued his immoral behaviour at the house he would lose the right to live there. Charles was impressed so added that as well. He then asked his secretary to get his deputy to join us having explained that he was the bank's legal man.

"I take it this has been checked out from a legal point of view" I commented. Charles confirmed it had been by a leading barrister who had agreed that I as the owner along with the directors were within our rights to do this under the wording of the Trust document which my stepfather had signed twenty one years ago.

The deputy arrived and agreed the additions saying they were well within the wording of the Trust. The handwritten document was then passed to the secretary to type up immediately.

"And who will become chairman?" Robert asked.

"Stephen, as owner of the bank; he'll also be appointed a director."

I said I'd be happy to do so although I had little knowledge of the banking industry.

"From what I've seen today Stephen you have a very astute mind despite your young age and we need the value of youth in the business."

I said as long as he continued at the helm and didn't expect me to be actively involved in the running of the bank then I was more than happy to accept. It seemed all I had to do was attend a monthly board meeting which apparently my stepfather hadn't done for months. Instead when he did come in he'd cause mayhem and been abusive to people. It sounded exactly like the man I grew up with so I wasn't the slightest bit surprised.

Having checked through the typed version, Charles invited us to join him for lunch in the executive dining room. Charles had his own table slightly away from the other executives and as we ate I was conscious of nods and whispers, no doubt about me. It was the first time the young owner had appeared so I was news. He'd called an emergency board meeting for two that afternoon so once lunch was over he took me to the boardroom leaving Robert in the secretary's office. Later he told me she'd asked how long we'd known each other and where we'd met. She seemed suitably impressed when he said at boarding school at age fifteen.

As soon as we entered the boardroom the other directors rose and Charles introduced me. I'd met his deputy of course so the other three shook my hand. Once seated, with me and Charles at the head of the table and the others down either side, he explained the purpose of the meeting was to discuss my stepfather's behaviour and position on the board. Several muttered that the man was disgraceful and something needed to be done. Charles then put forward his proposal and there were several gasps and nods of approval. He first asked for a show of hands on his proposal to remove him as chairman and everybody agreed. He next asked for a show of hands on his proposal to remove him from the board and again it was unanimous.

"As you may know, under the Trust agreement such a decision has to be ratified by the owner of the bank which is why Stephen is here."

He turned to me and asked whether I was prepared to do so and I said most definitely. He next read out the document he'd prepared and that too was agreed without question. It was then passed round for signature by each director and finally for me to do so. As I signed I felt I was signing his death warrant and tried to imagine how he'd react but I did so without feeling and if anything it gave me pleasure. A copy that would be his to keep was also signed before Charles moved onto the other item on the agenda which was the appointment of a new chairman. Having said a few words about me and what an astute mind he felt I had, he proposed me. The others agreed unanimously so I was duly appointed as chairman and an executive director.

"I'd therefore like to welcome our new chairman and hand over to him."

Fortunately he'd warned me of this so I'd prepared a few words to say. "First of all I'd like to apologise for the behaviour of my stepfather who despite having changed his name to mine to make it appear he was my father and the Earl, he of course is no blood relation. Secondly I thank you for appointing me as chairman and although I will be leaving the day to day running of the bank to you members of the board, I will be taking an interest in what is going on and will be attending the monthly board meetings. So, unless there are any questions relating to the decisions made I declare the meeting closed."

To my surprise there was a round of applause before everyone left. Charles thanked me for my support and my closing words. We then discussed when and where my stepfather would be presented with the decision and it was agreed that Charles would go to the house almost immediately with his deputy and one of the bank's butch security guards. He didn't want to risk him making a scene at the bank and I agreed. I also called Samuel to confirm my stepfather was in.

"Yes sir, he staggered downstairs at lunchtime and is now slumped in the sitting room with a bottle of whisky."

I told him to expect Charles and his colleagues within the next half hour but not to mention I'd called. I also warned him to expect a backlash after the meeting but didn't let on why.

"Don't worry sir, I know how to handle men like him." I chuckled and was sure he could.

With that done, Robert and I left leaving Charles to make his way. I wished him luck and said I'd call in the morning to find out what had happened. I'd already decided to stay in London overnight just in case I was needed and had asked the secretary to book a suite at the Savoy Hotel for Robert and myself. Having a suite meant Robert's room would be part of it although in reality he'd be sleeping with me!

"Wow, this is smart" Robert commented as he drove into The Savoy.

"It's one of the best" I chuckled.

As soon as he'd stopped the car, two commissionaires in their smart scarlet uniform came rushing forward to open our doors. A bellboy was instructed to retrieve our small cases from the back. Fortunately I'd had the presence of mind to come prepared for an overnight stay just in case. Robert handed over the keys to the car and it was removed from the front entrance as we made our way in with the bellboy scuttling along behind. When I announced myself the receptionist immediately sat up straight as if she was addressing royalty. I so seldom used my earldom status that it always surprised me how people reacted. We were shown up to our suite accompanied by the bellboy. Once inside and he'd placed the bags down I gave him a large tip.

"Thank you sir" he replied with genuine pleasure. I always liked to tip well for good service which was something my stepfather never did.

Once on our own I pulled Robert into a passionate embrace. We kissed for several minutes and I felt his hard cock pressing against mine.

"I need to call Edward to tell him we're staying over; then I'm going to have a long hot bath with you before I give you a long hard fuck."

Robert grinned clearly liking the sound of that. I placed my call to Holland House and spoke to Edward. He wanted to know what had happened but I said I'd tell everyone when we returned. Robert had run the bath and was already stripped off when I'd finished the call. He moved up behind me and slowly removed my clothes.

"Never stripped a company chairman naked before" he giggled. "I wonder what they'd all say if they knew they'd appointed a poof."

I laughed and wondered that too. "Just means we've got to be very careful so they never find out."

"Don't worry; I can play the part of the loyal personal assistant to perfection. I told Miss what's her name that you were the perfect employer and sucked my cock every night" he joked.

"And she replied?"

"Oh, how wonderful Mr Palmer; I suck Mr Hunter's too."

We laughed and climbed into the warm bath. As Robert sat between my legs with his back leaning against my chest, I played with his cock which was soon fully erect.

"I bet not many chairmen do this" he giggled.

"Don't be so sure; the aristocracy and men at the top have many hidden secrets."

When we'd soaked enough we climbed out and dried each other off. We then slipped between the bedclothes and made wonderful love which ended in me fucking him as promised.

The following morning I called Charles to obtain an update.

"Surprisingly he took it all very calmly although he made a few choice comments about the board."

I asked if he'd made any comment about my endorsement but as usual he'd completely ignored me. Charles said he'd already issued a statement for the City naming me as the new chairman. He thanked me once again for my support and said he'd be in contact. I called Samuel to see if there'd been any backlash and he said not as yet. I explained that my stepfather's income had been slashed by two thirds which was where he'd be hurt most. Fortunately all household bills with the exception of the wine cellar were paid by me, so I had full control. His reduced income would certainly affect his drinking habits and no doubt the number of prostitutes he could afford but I had no misgivings over that.

Samuel was true to his word and called me every week to give me an account of my stepfather's behaviour. Rather surprisingly he'd accepted his lot without too much hassle and with Samuel's tight control on who entered the house, the number of prostitutes had declined radically. He still drank and brought back the occasional prostitute if he'd been out at night but it was manageable.

Several months later, in fact just three weeks before Christmas, Samuel called one morning.

"He's dead; your stepfather is dead."

Having taken in what he'd said, I asked what had happened. He explained that my stepfather had been out the night before and returned with a prostitute. That morning he'd had vigorous sex with her and suffered a heart attack.

"She told me he suddenly became a heavy weight on her so pushed him off. When she realised he was dead she screamed and ran onto the landing. I found an almost naked prostitute at the top of the stairs screaming he's dead, he's dead."

I couldn't help but chuckle before asking what Samuel had done.

"I ran into his bedroom, checked his pulse and decided he was dead. I gave the prostitute her clothes and she left the house like a shot. I then called the doctor and he's just confirmed that death was as a result of a heart attack during vigorous sexual activity. I'm sorry sir."

"Don't feel sorry on my account Samuel; the man was a devious, lying bastard and I hated him so this is good news as far as I'm concerned."

Samuel chuckled and fully understood my feelings. I asked how Mary was and he said she was shocked at first but was okay now. He explained the doctor had said we needed to make arrangements for the body to be taken away and I said Robert and I would drive down to London immediately.

I told the others and although everyone was shocked nobody was that bothered. Within half an hour Robert and I were on our way having packed for at least two weeks away. I knew there'd be a lot of things to deal with but having Robert would certainly help.

This time I used the front door to enter the house. At last it was mine to do with as I wanted. I first went to see Mary in the kitchen whilst Samuel and Robert took our bags up to the room we'd use. As soon as she saw me she gave me a hug.

"Are you okay Mary?"

She nodded. "To be honest I'm relieved."

I agreed and then asked where Betty was. "She's gone; over the past few months she's become more useless by the day. She met a fancy boy shortly after we moved to London and spent most of her time with him or dreaming over him. I took the decision to let her go this morning since she'd lost interest in the job so she's left to join her boyfriend. I hope that's alright."

I told her it was fine by me. In fact it suited me well.

"I intend keeping the house but I'd like to talk to you about what you'd like to do Mary. You've been a loyal retainer for what, thirty five years."

"Thirty seven; I started work at Holland House as a kitchen maid at age seventeen."

"In that case Mary I think it's time you hung up your apron and enjoyed retirement. If you'd like to do that I'll arrange for the bank to pay you an annual sum for you to live on comfortably for the rest of your life. What do you think; do you have anywhere in mind to retire to?"

She gasped and then beamed at me saying she and her sister who lived on the Suffolk coast had often talked about spending their remaining years together. "She's four years older than me and only last week I had a letter from her saying how she'd love me to join her."

"Well there you are; I'll make sure you never have to worry about money and I'll pay for you to travel to Suffolk by first class railway to make it comfortable for you. All I ask in return is that you write to me occasionally to tell me how much you're enjoying retirement."

She gave me another hug and a kiss on the cheek saying she most definitely would. "You are so like your mother; you're kind and always think of other people before yourself. I tried to put her off from marrying that dreadful man after your dear father had passed away but she wanted to make sure you had a father figure as you grew up; I think she knew she was ill and wouldn't be around to look after you. If she knew how that devious man treated you, the poor soul would turn in her grave."

"Well, he certainly never fulfilled that role but I've survived and he hasn't."

She smiled and asked where he'd be buried.

"Not in the family plot that's for sure; I shall probably have him buried in an unmarked grave in a local cemetery; I take it you won't want to attend."

She shook her head saying if she did she'd probably spit on his coffin. I laughed and said I'd probably do the same but doubted I'd attend. I meant nothing to him and he meant nothing to me so why pretend. I told her to write a message to her sister saying she'd be arriving the next day if that was acceptable and I'd get Robert to send the message by telegraph.

"You go and pack your things Mary and let Samuel know when they're ready to bring down; I'll ask Robert to book your rail ticket."

She tried to protest saying she must prepare meals for us but I told her Samuel could do that. I asked her opinion of Samuel and she said he was a charming young man. "He's fastidious in everything he does; in fact he's very much like you; never speaks of any young lady friends, only a young man called Ralph who he seems very fond of. I think they meet up whenever they can and he's been here for tea a few times."

I nodded knowingly and she did too. I was convinced she knew about me and Robert and what she'd told me about Samuel confirmed my thoughts about him. When she'd gone off to pack her things in readiness for going to Suffolk the following morning, I went to find Robert. I found him in the small study going through my stepfather's papers.

"There's not much of note here and no will. The latest bank statement shows precious little in the account."

I said as long as there was sufficient to pay for a basic burial that's all that mattered. I told him what I'd discussed with Mary and left him to send her telegram asking for an immediate reply. When he'd done that I called Charles at the bank. Like me he was not upset and confirmed he'd put an immediate stop on the pension payment and a stop on his account. He checked the balance and agreed there'd just be sufficient to pay for a basic burial. He also confirmed no will was being held by the bank and that nobody would want to attend the funeral which made my decision not to do so that much easier.

A telegram from Mary's sister came back fairly quickly saying she was delighted to hear the news so that was Mary sorted. In the meantime I'd spoken to Samuel. I'd found him polishing the dining table so asked him to sit down. Having given him the news about Mary retiring and my intention to keep the London house, I asked him if he wished to remain employed as the house manager.

"Absolutely, I love working here and I like working for you sir; I agree Mr Holland senior was a challenge but that's over now thank goodness."

I said I was pleased to hear that and was happy to continue employing him. I also told him he didn't need to call me sir all the time and to use my first name except when formal guests were around. He smiled and I felt like taking him into my arms for a hug. He reminded me very much of Robert, kind, serious and well organised. For a brief moment I even fantasised about him in bed and felt my cock stiffen before getting back to what I needed to discuss.

"The house will only be used as and when Robert and I are in London plus the occasional entertaining at which time I can bring a member of staff from Holland House, so I was thinking it only requires you and one other person to be here on a permanent basis. How does that sound to you?"

Samuel said it sounded fine and he was sure he and one other could manage.

"In that case we need to find someone to assist you. Any ideas?"

His face immediately lit up and said he knew just the person who would be perfect because they loved cooking.

"Would that be Ralph by any chance?"

His face immediately went bright red wondering how I knew about Ralph.

"Mary told me you frequently meet him and that you're very fond of him."

His hands fidgeted afraid to say anything.

"She commented that you're like me and Robert, in that none of us talk about young ladies or have any interest in them, only male friends. Do you love Ralph? I certainly have no problem if you do; in fact it makes things a lot easier."

He looked at me and nodded.

"We've known each other from childhood and when we both admitted our sexuality to each other we fell in love. He's almost three years younger than me and we do everything together. We even worked together but the butler at the house began to suspect something so when I saw this job Ralph and I decided it would be best if I left before the butler spoke to his Lordship who's not that understanding on such matters. He's very hard working and loves cooking although in his present job he doesn't get much opportunity to do so. You'd like him, I'm sure you would."

I smiled at Samuel's praise of his boyfriend and agreed to meet him. As it happened they were due to meet up that very afternoon at three during Ralph's break. He worked in Kensington and I'd heard of the Lordship concerned. As Samuel had said, he was a miserable old bugger so fully understood why Samuel had left. I told him to meet Ralph and bring him straight back so I could meet him. In the meantime I had funeral matters to attend to.

Robert in his usual efficient way had located a cheap funeral director who was prepared to arrange a basic funeral without any fuss or religious service and arrange burial at a cemetery in north London. I accepted his fee and within the hour the body had been collected. All I now had to do was register the death and obtain a death certificate but that could wait until the following day. Robert and I toured the house deciding what changes we wanted to make. Basically the whole house needed redecoration and new furniture. The New Year was just a few weeks away and we wanted to bring the house into the 1920's.

We decided to make one of the front bedrooms ours since it was the largest and it was my mother's old room so had sentimental value even though it would look totally different. The other front room which the bastard had used would be gutted and made into a guest room. One of the rooms at the back would also be a guest room leaving the fourth for Samuel and Ralph to use assuming he looked okay. The attic rooms where the staff were currently located were far too small so would be shut up and used for storage.

Ralph arrived with Samuel shortly after three. He was a sweet guy and looked younger than his twenty years. He was also very nervous so I sat him down in front of the large mahogany desk, which would also go since it was ugly, and moved my chair to the same side to make it less formal. Samuel had gone to make tea for everyone since I'd told Mary to have a rest.

"I don't bite"

He smiled and relaxed slightly. I'd also noticed his effeminate mannerisms as he walked in so guessed why the butler at his present house would assume he was `one of those'. I started by asking him to tell me about himself, his childhood, family and where he came from. He said he had three older sisters, an older brother and had a happy childhood in south London.

"So you're the baby of the family."

He giggled and gave a sweet grin. Just then Samuel knocked on the door and brought the tea in. As he did so I sensed the love between them.

"Thank you Samuel." He smiled at Ralph and left.

We talked about Ralph's current and only job where he'd been for the past four years. From what I could tell he was given the tasks that nobody else wanted, no doubt due to his effeminate manner. I could just imagine a sergeant major type butler looking at him and turning his nose up. It surprised me he'd been employed in the first place until he commented that his mother worked there at the time.

"Do you enjoy what you do?"

"Some parts"

"But not the shitty jobs that nobody else wants to do."

He grinned and nodded.

"And I understand from Samuel that you both felt the butler thought you and he were too friendly."

He nodded.

"Do you get bullied as a result of that?"

"I do from certain members of staff."

"Well, in this house you most certainly won't, or at Holland House should you ever go there."

He physically relaxed on hearing that and talked excitedly about his love of cooking. He'd often made meals for his family of seven and clearly loved doing so. I described what I was looking for and explained he'd be working under Samuel's guidance but if they decided that Ralph should be the main cook then that was up to them.

"I like staff to do what they feel best at although everyone has to be prepared to muck in with other things at times."

He said he'd be happy with that so I offered him the job. When he heard the rate of pay he nearly jumped up and kissed me. It was almost double his current pay. His Lordship was another employer who abused and underpaid his staff which always made me angry. I said I'd need to take up a reference with his current employer so told him to find Samuel whilst I did that.

As expected the phone was answered by the butler. I avoided giving my name but said I required a reference for Ralph.

"Is he leaving my employ?"

"I've offered him the post and he's accepted but just wanted a reference for him."

"What job have you offered him?"

"One that he feels is better than his current one" I replied tersely, "So, are you prepared to give him a reference or do I speak to his Lordship?"

"Ah, well, yes. Ralph has been here for about four years; he's a hard worker and very willing. You just need to be aware that he has, what shall I say, effeminate mannerisms."

"Does that observation have a bearing on his work in any way?"

"Ah, well, no."

"In that case it's of no consequence to me employing him, thank you for your time."

"Right, well, we have a rule in this house that if someone gets another job they leave immediately and we pay to the end of the week."

"Fine; how do you define immediately; today or tomorrow morning?"

"Ah, well, tomorrow morning will be fine so he can help with this evening's dinner."

"Excellent, I'll inform him of that fact."

I put the phone down and muttered `pompous arsehole' as I went to find Ralph and Samuel. I found them in the kitchen laughing and joking with Robert. I gave Ralph the good news and he jumped with joy, giving his boyfriend a kiss as he did so. Samuel thanked me and emphasised they'd make a good team. I said I was sure they would.

"How about we decide which room you'll use if you've got time Ralph."

He reminded me of Fred and Edward's enthusiasm once they felt relaxed. Robert smiled and watched us go upstairs. I showed them the two back rooms saying the choice was theirs.

"Will we live on this floor and not the attic?" Samuel exclaimed.

"You can stay cooped up there if you want but Robert and I felt one of these would be more comfortable if you're sharing."

"We can sleep together?" Ralph gulped.

"Well, I do with my boyfriend so we assumed you guys would too" I chuckled.

"Wow, yes, thanks" Samuel grinned and pulled Ralph into a hug. They eventually chose the room I recommended since it received lots of morning sun. With that agreed, Ralph left and I said I looked forward to seeing him the following morning. Samuel again thanked me for employing Ralph and for their new room. I told him it would be redecorated and refurnished in a modern style and he was gobsmacked.

"Now that bastard is gone we can all move on and enjoy life." As I said this I put my arm round him and gave him a hug. I really like Samuel and his boyfriend so felt very happy.

Whilst Mary and Samuel prepared an evening meal, Robert told me he'd arranged for two builders to come the following morning to quote for the work we required and an appointment with the Registrar that afternoon. I gave him a passionate kiss. He was invaluable in more ways than one.

"What would I do without you?"

"Use the five fingered widow on this for a start" he giggled and groped me which did nothing to quell my rising organ. "Come on, let's have a bath."

Knowing Mary was ensconced in the kitchen for a while, I agreed. The bath wasn't that large so was a squeeze for two but we managed. A bathroom refit was on the list so I'd make sure the new one was larger. This time I sat between Robert's legs and leant against his back as he played with my cock.

"Samuel and Ralph are two sweet guys" he commented as he did so. I agreed but my mind was on what he was doing.

"I'm gonna shoot" I groaned, feeling my climax rise. My body jerked and I shot creamy white cum into the air before watching it float away on the surface of the water.

"We've done a lot today" I commented once I'd come down from my high. Robert continued to fondle my cock and it felt so good.

"Yep, almost buried the old sod, made Mary happy and recruited a dishy guy to join Samuel."

"I get the feeling Ralph is off limits."

"That may be Samuel's viewpoint but not so sure Ralph would object to some action on the side."

The following morning I had a very emotional farewell with Mary. We hugged and kissed with tears running down our cheeks. It was going to be a big change for both of us and I felt I was losing a part of my life but I knew for her sake it had to happen. I'd noticed how frail she looked on occasions and it was time to release her so she could enjoy her twilight years.

"Now don't forget to write every so often."

"And you young man."

"I will, you can be sure of that."

I'd asked Robert to drive her to the station and to see her onto the train with her luggage. As they drove off she waved and I waved back. I walked into the house with yet more tears in my eyes wondering if I'd done the right thing but my heart told me I had.

Ralph was knocking at the backdoor right on time so Samuel brought him to me.

"Welcome to your new home and your new job" I told him. "I hope you'll be very happy here." He thanked me and said he was sure he would as he glanced at his boyfriend. "Any problems when you got back yesterday?"

"The butler tried to quiz me on why and where I was going but I told him nothing other than it was a more interesting job with better pay. The usual homophobes tried to do things but I told them if they touched me I'd tell his Lordship which soon shut them up."

"Well none of that will happen here and the only person who will do things to you is your boyfriend unless of course you invite others to join in."

Ralph laughed enjoying the comment but Samuel went bright red. He clearly needed softening up before he was willing!

The first builder to arrive was a miserable bloke and showed little interest in what I wanted. As such I only showed him the downstairs and ignored the kitchen having decided I'd not be using him.

The second guy was totally different and came with wallpaper pattern books and lots of ideas on how the house could be modernised. I liked him and his ideas. By the time Robert returned we were still discussing the sitting room. I introduced Robert as my personal assistant and briefly went through what we'd discussed. Robert agreed with the ideas so wallpaper and paint colours were chosen as well as minor alterations to architraves to modernise them. When all the downstairs rooms were finalised, including the hallway, we moved upstairs. The bedrooms were easier but he still came up with new ideas which we liked. The landing and staircase followed on from what we'd decided for the hall so this left the bathroom.

"Ah, quite old fashioned isn't it" he commented. I agreed and said we needed a complete refit. He'd brought with him a catalogue of modern designs so Robert and I chose what we liked. The builder was pleased to see I'd chosen the most expensive and agreed it was a good choice.

"Right, now the kitchen" I said as we returned downstairs. I could see his eyes light up at yet more work. I involved Samuel and Ralph in this since they would be using it. The builder pulled out yet another book with ideas and the latest design in cooking appliances. The kitchen also had a scullery so the guy redesigned the whole space making it easier to use with new gas ovens and labour saving devices.

"I'll bring a detailed quotation round tomorrow morning so I can go through it with you." I liked his whole approach and said that was fine. "How about the outside, I noticed some paintwork is in need of attention."

"Why not" and asked Robert to show him round.

"I hadn't realised you were having a new kitchen as well" Samuel commented after the builder had left.

"We can't have your gorgeous boyfriend cooking in a worn out kitchen can we?" I laughed.

That afternoon we registered the death and gave the funeral director the necessary paperwork to proceed. I told him it could go ahead at any time since nobody would be attending.

"Despite his name being the same, he was no relation of mine" I explained.

True to his word the builder arrived the following morning with his detailed quotation. He went through it item by item as Robert and I looked on. When he'd finished he looked at me.

"Everything looks fine to me so let's go ahead."

He beamed having realised I'd accepted everything. We then discussed the logistics and agreed he could have one team painting and decorating and another working on the kitchen. He explained if they had clear rooms to work in that made things easier and quicker. I said he could and agreed the order of work. The kitchen was the most difficult so I agreed he could strip it and work on it for two days. We'd eat out so he had free access. He also agreed to clear the old furniture and dispose of it as part of the contract. All Robert and I had to do was buy the new items we needed.

We decided to bring in Selfridges so the following morning a sales representative arrived armed with furniture catalogues. He was good and we'd soon chosen what we wanted. They'd also deliver items as and when they were required which helped with the decorating. The only item in the whole house that I wanted to keep was my mother's desk. We decided it would fit perfectly in the small study in place of the other monstrosity. The valuable artwork currently stored at the bank would be reinstated once all the work was done and the copies would all go.

The builder said he could start work immediately since Christmas would soon be upon us and nobody normally wanted decorating done at this time of year. So, the following morning six butch guys arrived; two for the kitchen and four decorators. They started on the sitting room and cleared it of the old furniture including that in the study. My mother's desk was stored in the dining room for safe keeping so they had two empty rooms to work on.

The previous afternoon the four of us had cleared the kitchen of what utensils and crockery we wanted to keep and stored that in the dining room. We'd also cleared my stepfather's room and thrown everything away. I wanted nothing to remind me of him so good went with bad. All we could do whilst the men toiled away was marvel at the speed of work as we wandered around, oh and admire four rather attractive workmen!

Samuel had set up a Primus stove to make cups of tea on a regular basis for the workmen and Ralph bought rolls and cheese for us to eat at lunchtime. Seeing the amount of work needed, I was glad my stepfather had disposed of the carriage and horses when old Perkins, the coachman, died a year or so before, otherwise that would have been another job to do.

Each day either I or Robert called Holland House to see how things were. Everything seemed fine and from what we could tell they were all having a great time in our absence.

Samuel and Ralph made themselves useful by removing rubbish which the workmen produced, more to keep occupied than anything else. Robert and I often went out to get away from the noise and dirt and on one day we purchased evening wear for the bank's Christmas party. As owner and chairman I was expected to attend and Robert had also been invited.

Each evening after the workman had left for the day we all bathed. I enjoyed watching Samuel and Ralph together and when they saw us walking stark naked to the bathroom they did the same so we enjoyed each other's nakedness.

"Mm wouldn't mind sinking my hot rod into those two" Robert grinned one evening having seen the two naked guys waiting for the bath.

I laughed and told him he could sink it into me instead. I went on all fours with my butt high in the air and told him to fuck. He did and it was wonderful. He continued fucking until he'd spilt his load of cum inside me. I was tempted to do the same to him but we were taking the other two out for a meal so there wasn't time.

The kitchen in fact took three days to complete but I wanted a good job done so didn't hassle the workmen. When it was finished it looked wonderful and Ralph kept going round looking at all the new equipment.

"I can't believe I shall be using all this" he exclaimed.

"Well I hope you will be otherwise we'll all starve" I laughed and pulled him into a hug. He immediately snuggled his head against my chest just like Jo did. I glanced at Samuel to gauge his reaction but he just smiled and didn't seem to mind. I made sure I did so more often because I sensed that Ralph enjoyed physical contact.

The four decorators had also finished the sitting room and study so Robert called Selfridges to deliver the furniture for those rooms. The guys moved upstairs as planned and worked on Samuel and Ralph's room and my stepfather's room. I told Robert that in no way were we using that room, even on a temporary basis whilst ours was being done as I didn't want any reminders of the bastard. I almost cheered when I saw every piece of his furniture being taken away.

Within three days both rooms were complete and the new furniture arrived on the morning of the fourth so we could move back into them that night. The remaining rooms were cleared and work commenced on them. During this time, the bathroom was stripped. The builder had warned me that this would be a full three days and possibly four because new wall and floor tiles had to be fitted. It meant we had to wash in the kitchen which was fun. Samuel found an old tin bath so we filled it with hot water from the newly installed boiler unit and stood in it for a strip wash. The bath wasn't large enough for two so whilst one stood another soaped our naked body. I even persuaded Ralph to wash me and then returned the favour. We thoroughly enjoyed that whilst the other two looked on. Robert and Samuel washed each other and by the time we were all done there were four semi hard cocks. Unfortunately nothing else happened but it broke down some of the barriers.

Whilst the bathroom was being done, four decorators started work on the dining room and when paint was drying they commenced work on the landing and staircase. It was two days before Christmas when the bathroom and dining room were finished so it was decided to break for the festive season and return afterwards, but the major part of the work had been done so I was more than pleased. The new bathroom looked fabulous as did the dining room once the modern dining room table and six chairs had been delivered.

Samuel's father had been lost in action during the war as had Ralph's. Samuel's mother had died before the war and he had no other family. I asked Ralph if he wanted to go home to his mother and family but he said he'd rather stay with Samuel. Even so, I did say he should visit before Christmas which he did. Rather than leave the two guys on their own for Christmas I invited them to Holland House which I knew they'd enjoy. We closed all the shutters to make the house secure and locked the doors before driving back to Hertfordshire. Samuel had also spoken to the local police constable who said he'd keep an eye on the house during our absence.

When we drove up to the house both Samuel and Ralph gasped. As soon as Robert had stopped the car, Edward and Jo came running out to greet us. The other two were amused to see Jo jump into my arms and kiss me on the lips whilst he wrapped his legs round my waist.

"And how's my gorgeous Jo?"

"I'm good and happy to see you home again."

"We've got to go back for a few more days after Christmas my love."

"Oh" he grimaced.

"But if you're good you can come with us, as there's not much gardening work to do here at the moment."

His face lit up and I gave him another kiss. "Go help the others get everything in; there's lots of presents for everyone."

He jumped down and ran off like a five year-old. I frequently had to remind myself he was the same age as me.

When everything had been unpacked, Jo grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the sitting room. "Come and see the tree; William and I have been tending it all year for Christmas" he said excitedly.

"It's a beautiful tree, thank you my love, and it's beautifully decorated."

"Edward and I did that" he replied proudly. I thanked him and gave him a kiss.

"Are there any other trees that could do with cutting?" I knew it was necessary to cull each year to encourage growth. He nodded so I suggested he and William cut three or four small ones and take them to the farm cottages. Although the workers were no longer my responsibility since the estate farm had been sold off long ago, I liked to give support whenever I could and I knew some families were still on hard times due to the war. "Tell them they are a gift from me and I wish them a happy Christmas."

Jo ran off to find Will as I admired the tree again.

"He really loves you doesn't he?"

I turned and saw Samuel standing there. "Yes; we grew up together; he was my first true friend and the first person to whom I admitted my sexuality. When he said he felt the same we became inseparable and was the first person I had sex with. I'm very fond of him."

"But he doesn't have a boyfriend."

"No, he seems to prefer our company so never goes out to meet other guys. We all love him so I presume that makes him happy."

"Perhaps he loves you too much to want to find someone else."

"Maybe but he knows Robert and I are lovers and Robert is very fond of him too."

"I can see that, in fact the whole house oozes love; it's wonderful. Thank you so much for inviting me and Ralph, and for employing us both."

I was touched by his comment so put my arm round him. "You're both very welcome." After a pause I asked "Did your parents know about your sexuality?"

"I had a feeling mum did but dad was very much a man so I would never have discussed it with him."

"You must miss them very much."

He nodded and I noticed tears in his eyes. "But at least I knew them and they gave me a wonderful childhood being an only child. It must be hard for you having never known your parents, and then having a father figure like" he paused before adding, "like that man."

"It is hard and I frequently wonder what they were like; all I have are photographs which I found when clearing out my step father's desk after he'd moved to London."

"Do you mean to say that bastard never showed them to you whilst growing up?"

I shook my head not wanting to feel the anger I'd felt when first finding them. "But at least I had Mary; she was a mother to me and made sure I was always safe and sound. I love her very much."

"Did she not talk about your parents?"

"She frequently spoke about my mother but the bastard had told her she must never speak of my birth father and if she did she'd be dismissed immediately. She still feels guilty about not doing so but I can understand why she didn't. The man was a bully and could become violent when drunk."

"Why was he so worried about you knowing?"

"It would have blown his true identity. He changed his name to Holland by deed poll to make out he owned the properties and the bank plus the title of Earl. He had nothing, no money or property; he knew I'd inherit the money from my parents at age eighteen but he hadn't reckoned on me finding out that he was not my birth father. The man was a crook but fortunately my uncle safeguarded everything before he died."

"Wow, I bet the man was furious when he realised you knew the truth."

"I imagine he was which was why he hit the bottle and became even more debauched. Fortunately it was his downfall."

Telling Samuel all this brought back painful memories and I felt tears in my eyes. I told him I had things to do and went into my study. I'd been sitting at my desk for quite a while when Robert came in. He could see I'd been crying and rushed up to me. "What's wrong my love?"

I told him I'd asked Samuel about his parents and then we got onto mine and the whole story came out about the bastard. "It's silly I know but it brought back painful memories again."

"It's not silly my love; you need to talk about it every so often."

He was right as usual and I pulled his arms round my chest. He kissed the back of my neck as he stood behind my chair and it felt good. "I love you so much" he whispered.

"And I love you too, more than anything."

I turned my head and we kissed passionately.

"Mm you make my whole body shiver with excitement and my cock hard" he groaned, "I'd take you to bed right now but the guys want us to have a Christmas drink and one of the mince pies Joseph and Fred have made."

I giggled and said the sex could wait till later.

We found everyone gathered in the sitting room waiting for us. Edward had made a hot punch and a dish of mince pies were sitting on the table. It was good to see all the guys gathered round.

"The Christmas trees were gratefully received and everyone wished you a very happy Christmas" Jo said excitedly as Edward served the drinks with William's assistance.

Once we all had a glass I raised mine and wished everyone a very happy Christmas. "And I'd like to thank all of you for being such a great group of guys and doing a great job. I certainly couldn't manage without any of you."

Everyone cheered and kissed their partners, with the exception of Jo so I pulled him into a kiss with me and Robert. Edward then gave him one, followed by the others so as usual he received everyone's attention including the two new guys. Fred then passed round the mince pies which were soon demolished.

"Those were magnificent" I congratulated Joseph and Fred.

"Fred did most of the work."

I gave Fred a kiss whilst the others watched on.

"Who's up for a dip in the pool after lunch?" Edward asked.

"You've got a pool?" Ralph exclaimed.

"Yep but no clothes are allowed in there so buck naked only" Edward laughed.

"That's not true" I laughed, "If Ralph or Samuel wish to cover their modesty we have swimming trunks available."

"Not for me" Ralph laughed, "I love swimming in the nude".

I glanced at Samuel and wasn't sure if he was quite so brave when it came to showing all in front of seven other guys despite his nakedness at the Bloomsbury house but he nodded and said he was fine. After a light lunch we stripped off and made our way to the pool area.

"This is great" I heard Ralph giggle so he was happy.

When he saw the pool he jumped in causing a big splash which wet the rest of us. Jo jumped in behind him quickly followed by Fred. The rest of us slid in more sedately. The nine of us then had fun, splashing and groping each other as usual. I was pleased to see that Samuel was joining in and enjoying himself. Ralph clearly was so I reached round him and grabbed his semi hard cock which made him giggle.

"Mm that feels nice" I whispered into his ear, "do you think your boyfriend will mind?"

"Nah; we both love being felt; we've not had the freedom to do so before; this is great."

I continued massaging his cock until he was fully erect. As I did so I pressed mine between his legs. He turned round and pulled me into a passionate kiss.

"I'd love to feel this inside me" he grinned and took hold of my erection.

I grinned but pulled away not wanting things to get too heavy and moved behind Samuel. His cock was already hard and when I took hold of it and gave it a squeeze, he let out a long contented sigh.

"You like that"

"Oh yes, I love it; I never dreamt I'd be so happy. I've got a great job, a wonderful house to live in with my boyfriend and a great boss plus a whole new group of friends who won't be thinking I'm perverse or disgusting."

I turned him round and gave him a kiss. To my surprise he pressed our mouths together and plunged his tongue into mine. As he did so, he pressed our bodies up close and rubbed our cocks together. For several moments my mind was in overdrive thinking of all the sexy things I'd like to do with him but eventually I gently pulled away. We grinned knowingly as I moved over to Jo who was standing alone watching others kiss and cuddle.

"How's my little bundle of joy?"

I reached round and held his cock as I kissed the back of his neck. He giggled and reached round for my cock. It didn't take long for us to be kissing passionately with our cocks rubbing against each other.

After a while Robert joined us. "How about I take you two gorgeous guys upstairs?"

Jo nodded enthusiastically so the three of us climbed out of the pool. The other three couples were already enjoying each other on the poolside including Samuel and Ralph who were all over each other.

"Who wants to be fucked first?" Robert laughed.

"Me, me" Jo screamed.

"On the bed then with your legs high over your chest so I can give your beautiful arse a long hard fuck."

Within seconds Jo was showing off his beautiful hole ready for Robert's big cock. I watched it sink in and heard Jo groan with delight before I knelt beside him and told him to suck my cock. As Robert fucked, Jo sucked. I reached down for Jo's cock and slowly massaged it. Jo emitted low growls of contentment and his sucking caused me to give similar noises whilst Robert said over and over again "Yeah, a lovely arse to fuck".

"Oh fuck, I'm gonna come" Robert yelled. I increased the pace of massaging on Jo's cock and he increased his pace of suck. Suddenly he emitted a low howl and ribbons of creamy white cum shot out of his cock. Robert then let out a loud "Fuck" and I watched him shoot his load over Jo's hole before thrusting back inside to finish off. Within seconds I too was ready to shoot and shouted "Oh fuck" as I filled Jo's mouth with my hot load.

Slowly we came back to earth and grinned at each other.

"Fuck that was good; hot cum in my arse and more in my mouth."

I leaned forward and kissed Jo before kissing Robert. His cock was still embedded deep inside Jo's arse so he just watched our very passionate kiss.

When we finished we grinned at him.

"I love watching you guys kiss."

"Don't you ever wish you had your own special boyfriend?" I asked him.

"Why do I need one; the two guys I love with all my heart are right here and they give me beautiful fucks."

Robert smiled. "We also love you Jo and are always happy to give you a fuck whenever you need one."

"Yeah I agree; you're my longest boyfriend and will be forever."

"And you guys don't mind; you know, me joining you for sex and things?"

"Of course not; as Robert says, you're a beautiful fuck as well as being a wonderful guy."

"Thanks, that means so much to me."

I could see he really meant it so lay down beside him and took him into my arms. Robert laid the other side of him and put his arms round both of us. We kissed and petted for several minutes before Robert asked "So, who's next to be fucked?"

Without saying anything I lifted my legs over my chest to offer myself. The other two took the cue and Robert soon had his big long cock deep inside me. When he'd shot his load, Jo took over until he'd done the same. After we finished pleasuring each other we had a bath. Jo sat between my legs as I played with his cock, and he used his feet to play with Robert's at the other end. When we returned downstairs we found Edward, William and Samuel in the sitting room fully dressed. "Where's Ralph?"

"In the kitchen helping Joseph and Fred with the evening meal" Samuel replied.

"You're looking very contented Jo; I take it you've been well and truly fucked by these two" Edward grinned.

"Yep; are you jealous?" Jo laughed.

"No; I shall no doubt have plenty before Christmas is over" he laughed.

I looked over to Samuel and he grinned. "You'll get used to this in due course; these guys only think of one thing and that's sex."

"And you don't?" Edward giggled..

"Don't be daft of course he does" Robert laughed.

"It's so great to be with guys who are so open" Samuel said.

"That's why Stephen made sure he had an all male household that felt the same way" Robert replied.

The rest of Christmas went just as well with everybody enjoying themselves. The presents Robert and I had bought in London also went down well as did the gifts we gave each other. All too soon it was time to return to London and as promised I said Jo could come too.

Everything at the house was fine and we soon had the shutters open again to let in the light. Jo gasped when he saw the new decoration. Having been away from it for a while it did hit you as being very modern but we all still loved it. The following day the four decorators were back to finish off the hall, landing and staircase. Three days later everything was done. Robert called the carpet cleaning man who within the space of a day had cleaned every one. When he'd gone we went from room to room and admired it all.

"Fantastic" Robert said and we all agreed.

The next day Robert and I visited the bank to view the artwork stored in the vault. I'd assumed that the artwork we'd discarded were copies of the originals. When the guy in the vault unwrapped them we both gasped. Apart from two beautiful portraits, one of my mother and one of my father, the other four were very risqué for their time. They depicted groups of nudes, both male and female, with every part of their anatomy on view.

"By a French artist I believe" Charles commented as we gazed at them, "and I imagine they are worth a lot of money now, hence why your uncle had them removed in case you know who sold them off."

"They'll go perfectly with the new decoration" Robert commented.

"My, you've been busy bees; redecorated already have you" Charles chuckled.

"We had the whole house done including a new bathroom and kitchen; and the builder is currently doing the outside" Robert replied.

"My wife will be envious; she's constantly on at me to have our house done."

"We can certainly recommend the builder, he's done a fantastic job; in fact why don't you and your wife join us for dinner on Friday evening; we're dying to try everything out."

Charles said he and his wife would be delighted to accept my invitation. I asked that the four pictures be delivered to the Bloomsbury house and the two portraits to Holland House. I wanted those in the sitting room either side of the fireplace so I felt my parents were with me at last. Robert agreed that was a wonderful idea. Charles said he'd get his secretary to make the necessary arrangements.

"The next Board meeting is on the twentieth of January" he commented as we made our way up to the foyer. I said I'd be there.

The four pictures fitted in perfectly; two in the dining room and two in the sitting room. Samuel and Ralph loved them.

"Those guys are gorgeous" Ralph grinned.

"Now I wonder why his eyes fell on the males" I teased.

"I have no idea" Samuel grinned which made Ralph blush. I pulled him into a hug and said I thought so too which was why I had them reinstated. They certainly told me a lot more about my parents which made me proud. The portraits showed what a happy couple they'd been which pleased me and I so wished I'd known them instead of the bastard.

Although Ralph appeared to be nervous and panicking at times as he prepared the dinner for four, Samuel assured me he was fine and everything was going to plan. Every so often I saw him take Ralph into his arms and kiss him to calm him down, which did the trick. It was the first major dinner he'd prepared but everything smelt wonderful.

When Charles and his wife arrived they were stunned by the new decor.

"Oh I love it" his wife said so I offered to give them a grand tour which they readily accepted. They thought the rooms downstairs were divine and Charles admired the pictures saying how well they fitted in. I said I'd show her the kitchen after our meal since Samuel and Ralph were still busy preparing it and I knew they'd want to tidy it up before guests descended on them. She said she'd love to see upstairs, especially the bathroom since theirs was in need of replacement, so I showed her one of the guest bedrooms and the bathroom.

"Oh my word, this is just wonderful; I hope you're taking note Charles."

We glanced at each other and I mouthed `sorry' but he agreed theirs badly needed attention.

Ralph excelled himself with the meal. He'd prepared stuffed mushrooms packed with garlic, parmesan and mint to provide a strong flavour having placed four on each plate to form a square.

"These are delicious" Charles and his wife commented.

Samuel, who was serving us at table in his impeccable manner, cleared the plates and fetched the main dish. This was chicken breast a la rose, accompanied by a Waldorf salad and was equally delicious. I could tell our guests were impressed. Robert and I had met Mrs Hunter at the bank's Christmas party so I'd already given the public explanation about Robert and that we'd met at school and resided with me at Holland House. As such neither of them was surprised to see him join the dinner party and in fact I noticed her talking to him about running a large house and an estate. These were all things he could talk about endlessly, which was fine. Ralph ended the meal with a lemon chiffon cake which melted in your mouth. I felt so proud of him and I could see Samuel was too although he couldn't say so.

"Well, that was a wonderful meal Stephen I must congratulate your cook, she's done us proud."

I glanced at Robert who was sitting at the other end of the table and he smiled.

"My cook is a man" I said in a matter of fact tone.

"Ah that explains it" Mrs Hunter replied, "I've always said that male cooks produce better meals than females; they are much more adventurous."

I thanked her and said she could meet Ralph once the kitchen was ready for inspection. We moved into the sitting room where Samuel served coffee and brandy. He played the part perfectly and I smiled to myself as I recalled what we'd done over Christmas. Ralph got his wish for me to fuck him and Samuel fucked me after a boozy lunch.

"Ralph says the kitchen is now tidy if you wish to show your guests sir" Samuel announced with a deadpan face. I thanked him and asked Mrs Hunter if she still wished to see it.

"Most certainly; especially after that wonderful meal"

I glanced at Charles and he raised his eyebrows. I guessed he was in for another dig about how it was time their house was upgraded for the 1920s. As Mrs Hunter walked into the kitchen she gasped. "Oh my, this is just wonderful. And look Charles, the latest gas ovens. That settles it, you must ask the builder who did all this work to visit us immediately."

"I'll let you have his details" Robert said helpfully although I wasn't so sure Charles felt the same.

"We've not spent anything on our house Charles for more years than I can remember. It's time we did, especially a man in your position."

"That's me put firmly in my place Stephen."

I tried to apologise but he said he was only joking and that his wife was right as usual and the house did need refurbishment.

"Now, you must be the young man who produced that wonderful meal; it was just perfect so thank you."

Ralph was slightly overcome with the praise so thanked her as if he produced such meals everyday of his life.

Finally the guests left and I for one felt relieved it had all gone well with no uneasiness over my all male staff. I called Samuel and Ralph into the sitting room and gave them a big kiss and a hug.

"Thank you so much guys, you did wonderfully; and thank you too Robert, you played your part perfectly as usual."

"Extra fucks all round tonight I reckon" Robert laughed.

"Ralph will certainly be getting one that's for sure" Samuel grinned, which made Ralph's eyes light up.

I suggested we each have a brandy before going to bed so Samuel did the honours.

"Your brandy sir" he grinned as he served mine.

"Fuck off" I laughed and he pretended to look shocked.

Finally we made our way upstairs and once undressed I collapsed into bed. I felt shattered so told Robert that sex would have to wait until the morning. It did too and when I woke up I found him sucking my cock. It wasn't long after, that he had his cock firmly embedded inside me. As usual it felt wonderful.

When I arrived for the Board meeting on the twentieth, the secretary presented me with a letter addressed to me via the bank.

"This was the covering note" she said and handed me a sheet of notepaper with Lord Morgan's crest on it. It read `I believe I'm right in saying that Stephen Holland, Earl of Hertfordshire, is now the chairman of your bank. If so, I'd be very grateful if you could pass onto him the enclosed letter. We were at boarding school together and I'd very much like to make contact.' I read the signature and it read Lord Blake Morgan with Blake's flamboyant signature.

"Well, well; I didn't reckon on hearing from him again" I said more to myself than the secretary.

"So you do know him."

"Oh yes, very well" I smiled when I recollected what we got up to, "thanks, I'll make contact".

The meeting was fairly standard with every director giving a report on their areas of responsibility. Charles had circulated them to me beforehand together with the latest accounts and I'd got Robert to read through them and suggest suitable questions and potential answers so I looked reasonably knowledgeable and could tell if they were bullshitting, not that I expected them to do so with Charles in control but I wanted to show I wasn't completely naive when it came to banking.

One particular report in my view lacked important facts so I asked the question Robert had given me. The director concerned was relatively new to the board and was flustered for a moment. One or two others smiled and nodded. The guy eventually gave the information I wanted and I asked a subsidiary question which he managed to answer after a moment's thought. His answers fitted what Robert had suggested so I moved on to the next. When all had given their reports, Charles smiled. "As you will see, having a sharp young mind on the board is going to keep us on our toes. Thank you Stephen; I hope I can answer all your questions just as well."

There was a general titter round the table and Charles presented his report. I only had one question which was to clarify a point but I noticed one or two eyebrows being raised and guessed the MD's report was never normally questioned. Finally the meeting ended and as chairman I thanked everyone for their input and for attending.

"Before we break up" one of the older directors said, "can I say what a pleasure it is to have a chairman who really takes an interest and doesn't arrive in an inebriated state."

Several others agreed before Charles announced that the previous chairman was now dead. The news of his death had been kept quiet so it was somewhat of a surprise.

"My apologies Stephen, I didn't realise."

"No apology is necessary; I for one am glad to see the back of him; he was a crook and no relation of mine who successfully fooled a lot of people until I found out the truth three years ago."

With this the meeting ended and just Charles and I were left.

"Congratulations, you handled that well and clearly did a lot of homework; I said you had an astute mind and it showed which is just what we want."

I thanked him feeling somewhat proud of myself even though it was with Robert's assistance. `An extra special fuck tonight for you my love' I told myself.

Whilst Charles and I had tea, the secretary called Robert for him to bring the car to collect me. Twenty minutes later I was stepping into the car. He wanted to know what happened so I gave him a synopsis including how his questions had been so useful. "An extra special fuck for you tonight my love."

"Mm I shall enjoy being your banking advisor" he giggled.

When we got home I opened Blake's letter which was sealed several times over so took a while to get into it.

`I hope this finds you Stephen and all is well. I so enjoyed our time at school together. On finishing university I got a job in the City which is how I saw the announcement about you now being Chairman of the bank. How come? Has your father passed away and do you now own the bank? My dad was badly injured in the war and sadly died a few months after it ended. We're all very sad since he was a loving father to me and my sister as well as a doting husband. It affected my mum very badly and she is now very frail.

So, as you will see I am now Lord Morgan; what a laugh. My mum has given up asking when I'm getting married. I think she has now realised the answer is never! But my younger sister, bless her, married last year so hopefully she'll keep the Morgan line going, assuming she has a boy. Otherwise its bye bye Lord Morgan once I'm beneath the clod!

So, how is life with you? I'd love to meet and catch up on all the news. I'm also wondering if you can do me a favour, assuming you still have the house in Hertfordshire. Like an idiot I've lost that address, hence why I sent this via the bank. My family home fell into so much decay that on dad's death we had to sell it off because we don't have the funds to keep such a property let alone repair it. I now live with mother in a modest house in Kensington with an old retainer who's fairly useless and a cook, plus a woman who comes in twice a week to clean. All very sad but the war crippled my father's business.

Anyhow I do hope you make contact; as you see we do have a telephone so you can use that but as you know they are far from private so any chat will be just to arrange a date and venue to meet. It's not that private here, which is a bugger. Have met several guys I like but nowhere to go for you know what. Hope you still do. I used to love having fun with you.

By the way, are you still in contact with that gorgeous friend of yours; was it Robert? Best wishes Blake Morgan'

Having read the letter I passed it to Robert. He had a good laugh as I had done. We both liked Blake for more reasons than one! That evening I called the number quoted on the letter. A somewhat doddery guy answered and I asked to speak to Lord Morgan.

"Who shall I say is calling sir?"

"Stephen Holland, Lord Blake is expecting my call." I pondered whether to add the Earl bit but decided against it.

"One moment sir, I will go and fetch his Lordship." I then heard a shuffling of feet as the old guy went to find Blake.

Suddenly a voice boomed "Hello Stephen, so you got my letter; how wonderful to hear from you. Is there any chance of meeting up?"

I said there was and asked if he was free for dinner the following evening. I'd planned on going back to Holland House that morning but could easily stay another day.

"I assume you're working tomorrow."

"Sadly yes but we could meet up immediately after."

I told him I owned a house in Bloomsbury where we could talk freely. "In fact why not stay the night? Then we'll have longer to catch up on things."

He thought that a great idea and said he didn't normally work on a Saturday so would not have to rush off that morning. I gave him my address and said I'd see him around five thirty. I went to find the other guys who were relaxing in the sitting room.

"Blake was a senior at the boarding school where Robert and I attended and I was Blake's fag" I explained to Samuel and Ralph.

"Fag, what's that?" Ralph asked.

"Basically the senior's servant to do anything he requires" Robert explained "and in Blake's case and the senior I was a fag for, it included being fucked senseless when they were in the mood."

"Wow, that sounds fun; I'd have liked to have been a fag."

We all laughed before I explained that Blake was coming for a meal and staying the night.

"Nothing fancy Ralph but we will be eating on our own as we've got lots to catch up on so you guys will have to eat in the kitchen."

Samuel said that was no problem but he would serve at table.

"I can't believe we're meeting up again" Robert remarked, "so much has happened since we last saw him."

I agreed, it seemed almost a life time ago yet was only a few years.

Blake arrived at five thirty and Samuel showed him into the sitting room.

"Hi darling, it's wonderful to see you" he exclaimed as he came to give me a big hug and a kiss. He looked just the same despite being several years older. He then noticed Robert standing nearby and shrieked "Oh how wonderful, you too."

Samuel was clearly amused at the welcome as he stood by to offer drinks. Eventually we sat down with our drinks and talked. He first wanted to hear my news so I gave him a potted history. He was horrified to hear how the bastard had deceived everyone and not told me about my real father.

"Oh you poor darling, that must have been such a shock."

"To be honest I was angry more than shocked."

"I bet you were; I'd have killed the bastard but I bet he was shocked when he realised you'd blown his cover."

"I never spoke to him again after that but he probably was; he was a violent man so less said the better."

I explained how we'd removed him as chairman of the bank and that was how I'd been appointed and that he'd died just before Christmas.

"So you were the official owner of the bank and the properties all along."

I nodded.

"The bastard; god, it's just as well he's dead otherwise I'd have given him a piece of my mind and thumped him."

Robert and I laughed. I could imagine Blake doing that. We were on the point of talking about him when Samuel announced that dinner was ready so we moved into the dining room.

"I love these pictures and the two in the sitting room. They're by a French artist you know."

I said that was correct and Blake explained the artist had been shunned by his contemporaries at the time because of their explicit nature.

"You realise the four are a set and strictly speaking should be together but they fit in nicely with your wonderful modern decor. Besides, together they'd probably shock people. The artist depicted an orgy he'd been to and some reckon one of the males is him. I think they're wonderful. The flesh tones and the anatomy is divine, especially the males. I reckon he could have been like us."

Blake's description provided a whole new perspective on them which made me like them even more.

"How come you know so much about art?" Robert asked. Blake explained he'd studied history and art at university and now worked for a company that valued paintings and insured them.

As we ate, Blake relayed his story. His father's business had manufactured high quality clothing but the war scuppered that business because the experienced workers had gone to war and many were killed in action or badly injured like his father.

"I'd told him he should have moved into army attire but he was a stubborn man so the business just closed. When he died I sold off the factory for a pittance and the old house, so my mother and I live in a four bedroom house with a doddery old retainer and an equally old cook. I keep telling my mother she should retire them off but she won't. She says there's been enough change so doesn't want more."

He then asked about Holland House and what facilities it had. Robert went through how many rooms and that we'd installed a small pool. Blake's eyes lit up when her heard that. He explained he was organising a `bath and bottle party'.

"They're all the rage amongst the young upper bohemian set and great fun." He went on to say the guests each brought a bottle or two and the party mainly took place round the pool, hence the bath. "Your setup sounds perfect darling and all you provide are a few nibbles. However, the ones I've been to do get somewhat wild. Everybody strips naked and jump into the pool where all kinds of fun takes place so expect lots of sex."

We smiled and said that was no problem. He added that some straight couples go but love watching homo guys having sex.

"Even some of the straight guys don't mind a bit of cock sucking." The party would start at nine and go onto three in the morning. Having discussed the poolside space and that I could make four guest bedrooms available for sex as well, we agreed the number of guests would be limited to twenty. "I've only got two straight couples on my guest list and both the guys are up for fun with us guys. The girls generally like sucking cock as well."

Robert and I said it sounded great fun so we agreed it would take place on a Saturday in two weeks.

"If your members of staff wish to join in they are welcome seeing they're all like us."

Robert laughed and was sure they would.

"Fuck, just talking about it has made me hard" Blake grinned.

"Come on, let's take this sex machine upstairs Robert."

On our way up I told Samuel we'd finished in the dining room and were going upstairs so to lock up when they were ready for bed. He grinned knowingly.

"Wow this is some house and I love the new decor."

"How about a soak in the bath first; it's big enough" Robert grinned.

We stripped off and walked naked to the bathroom. Blake still had the same stunning body with it's big cock. Just thinking about that inside me again made mine twitch with excitement.

"Fuck, this is fabulous darling" he shrieked as we entered the bathroom.

Although Blake was a big guy we somehow fitted in the bath with me between his legs and Robert at the other end.

"I've so missed this gorgeous body of yours and this equally gorgeous cock" he giggled as he played with my now fully erect organ. The feel of his strong arms round me brought back happy memories.

When we'd soaked enough we climbed out and dried off. Once in our bedroom he told me to go on my back with my legs high in the air so he could fuck me.

"Yes, such a beautiful arse to fuck" he grinned; his long thick cock deep inside me.

After a while, Robert moved up behind him and rubbed his erection against Blake's butt.

"Yeah, fuck my arse Robert whilst I fuck your beautiful boyfriend."

Robert pulled Blake's cheeks apart and pushed his cock in. Blake exhaled a contented sigh as he continued thrusting in and out of me. We continued like that for quite some time until Blake had shot his load inside me and Robert had deposited his inside Blake.

"That was fucking great; just like old times."

The following morning Blake returned home and Robert and I drove back to Holland House. When I told them about the `Bath and Bottle' party they all became excited, especially on hearing they could take part if they wished.

On the Saturday, whilst Joseph and Fred made lots of interesting bite sized food, Edward and I found keys to the rooms we wished to lock off. We decided to lock all rooms downstairs and our bedrooms leaving four guest bedrooms available. Joseph decided to set up a table just outside the kitchen in the corridor to the pool area from which he and William would serve drinks and food. We decided having glasses and crockery in the pool area was not a good idea in view of the floor tiles. Edward and Robert placed chairs in the hallway on which guests could sit to eat. Robert also put a smartly written notice saying `No food or drink in the pool area'. Blake had said most guests were very well behaved but we didn't want the risk of broken glass or china cutting bare feet.

Finally everything was ready and just before nine the charabanc Blake had hired arrived with twenty guests.

"Welcome to Holland House" I announced as Edward, Jo and Fred took coats and hung them up. Robert led them to the pool area with Joseph and Will accepting the `bottle' gifts as they went. Joseph and Will had decided they were not bothered about joining in the fun and to be honest, neither was I or Robert. We'd invited Blake to stay over for a couple of nights so knew we'd get plenty of action with him. All the guests were in their early twenties and several were very dishy. When they saw the pool area they all shrieked.

"Oh a real pool, how wonderful darlings."

Quite what they'd expected for a `Bath and Bottle' party I couldn't imagine but it went down well.

"Come on guys, let's all strip off" Blake announced and suggested everyone return to the entrance hall to leave their clothes. Within a few minutes, twenty naked guests walked back to the pool area. Several guys had stunning bodies which made Robert and I get excited. Fred, Edward and Jo looked at me as if to say `can we strip off now?' I nodded so within minutes they too were naked and trotting off to the pool. To show willing, Robert and I did the same as did Joseph and William even though they'd opted to manage the food and drink. A while later naked guests, including Blake, wandered back to get food and drink.

"Wow, your guys are gorgeous Stephen; they've already received plenty of attention."

I chuckled, knowing the three guys would love that. Robert and I just kept an eye on things and saw lots of serious action taking place. Guys were fucking and sucking and the females were also receiving plenty of attention. Nobody used the rooms upstairs, much preferring to give the others a show.

By three in the morning the food and drink had been consumed. They got dressed and climbed into the charabanc which had waited outside for the past six hours. The driver had just rested across the back seat and seemed happy enough, although Joseph had supplied him with tea and sandwiches.

"That went fucking well" Blake said once the guests had left. He thanked the guys for what they'd done, and Jo and Fred had big grins so I assumed they'd had a good time. He thanked me and gave me a big kiss. "I'm whacked,"

We said we were too so everyone made their way to bed. We woke around midday so Joseph cooked a brunch which we ate round the kitchen table.

"You guys have a wonderful life don't you" Blake commented.

"We certainly do, thanks to Stephen" Jo grinned.

"Yeah, he's the best" Blake replied and smiled at me.

Blake became a regular visitor to Holland House as well as the house in Bloomsbury and we spent many happy hours having sex. He also introduced me and Robert to other like minded friends of his who enjoyed sex.

My life at the bank went well and I was soon treated as an important part of the management team. Okay, I was chairman and could have taken a back seat but with Robert's assistance I enjoyed questioning things which Charles loved me doing to keep the others on their toes.

By the mid nineteen twenties, the bright young things' set slowly died down including the debauched parties. There were no more Bath and Bottle' parties but that didn't stop the guys at Holland House or the one in Bloomsbury having fun with me and Robert, and Blake, since he'd become a good friend.
