Cheddar's, Chapter 12
Fortunately, Grandma gave Parker the keys to the Mercedes without asking the reason for their trip to the drugstore. She was not, by nature, a nosy person, and she suspected that her older grandson might need to purchase something for intimate use if he was, perhaps, in a physical relationship with Adam. In that case, it would certainly be more information than she needed.
In giving him the keys, she suggested they take the Impala to travel to the beach the next day, so as not to expose the newer, more expensive vehicle to the salt air.
At the store, Danny blushed a deep shade of crimson when Parker led him to the aisle which contained a large display of contraceptives, including almost every popular brand and style. Parker turned the experience into a teachable moment, telling him always to use a reputable brand, and to check the expiration date.
"These things have a somewhat limited shelf-life, and it's shortened by storing them in a place that can get too hot, like a car trunk. Do your best to keep them staying fresh; your future could depend on it."
Then Parker tossed a package of them into his shopping basket, along with a tube of KY jelly. Adam's eyebrows shot up as well as Dan's.
Next, Parker went over two aisles and selected a travel-sized tube of his favorite hair gel. That would be his cover in case anyone wondered why this trip was necessary. He still had enough for their week's stay, but he would need it in the near future.
Finally, Dan got to choose the shade of dye he wanted. He settled on a medium brown that pretty well matched his eyebrows. That should darken his pubes without looking out of place with his natural coloring.
After dinner, the boys remained in the company of their elders and visited long enough to be polite, then they retired to their rooms, saying they planned to hit the beach early and spend most of the following day there.
Ellie said she'd prepare them a cooler with plenty of food and bottles of water for their trip. She recommended going to Playa Linda because of its closeness, instead of traveling further down the coast.
Adam and Parker had barely entered their room, and gotten comfortable, before Dan came bounding in clad in just his boxers. They had anticipated he'd join them shortly, and were similarly attired.
"Can you guide me through the dye job so I don't mess it up?" he asked.
"There's nothing to it," Parker smiled. "Just follow the directions. You don't need to wash the area first. Squirt an equal amount of the contents of the `color' tube and the developer into the little plastic tray and mix them thoroughly with the handle of the tool. Wipe the handle off, so it doesn't stain your hands, and use the brush end to spread it through your pubes. Time it for five minutes, or slightly longer, and rinse it off in the shower. That's it."
"It sounds like you've done it before," Danny smirked.
"I have. I tinted my bush a slightly reddish hue my last year of high school, just to see how it would look. I'd read about it on the `net. I also groomed the area into a kind of arrow-head shape pointing toward my navel. I thought it looked sexy. Unfortunately, I didn't get any comments about it in the showers after gym. I'm not sure anyone noticed."
"You're sure you didn't do it to impress a certain guy," Dan pursued.
"Nope, not in high school. The only special guy who's ever been in my life is in this room, and it isn't you!"
"Aw, shucks," Dan said, trying to look hurt. "I suppose that means I'm on my own doing this dye job."
"You're still special, Danny," Adam assured the boy. "We don't mind helping you; do we Parker?"
"YOU are welcome to help him. I'm staying out of this."
"Good, then Adam can brush the color on to make sure it's done right. You can be a jerk if you want to, Parker."
"Okay, I'll help too," Parker relented, "but don't assume this is going to lead to anything else!"
"If you're referring to how I acted at Christmas, I'm sorry about that. I was super-horny and I'm not going to try to have sex with either of you."
"It's okay, Danny, I understand. We've all felt like that sometime in our lives," Parker tousled his hair.
One of the perks of an upscale condo is that each bedroom had its own bath. Therefore, the guys could perform the coloring operation in the one adjoining Parker and Adam's room, and the grandparents wouldn't wonder what all three were doing in a bathroom together.
Parker began by mixing the two substances together, suggesting that Dan move the decorative rug from in front of the sink and stand directly on the tile so as not to stain the rug if the dye happened to drip. That was unlikely since it had a gel-like consistency, but there was no sense taking chances.
Danny stripped off his boxers, and did his best not to get an erection from being naked in their presence. He was only partially successful.
After wiping off the brush handle thoroughly with a paper towel, Parker handed it to Adam.
"You're the one who got us into this, so you can apply it."
"You're right; I'll do it," Adam replied.
While Dan held his dick down and to the side, Adam knelt in front of him and applied a good coating of dye to the area on the left of his penis, and above it. Then he told the boy to move it the other direction so he could do the rest. Being very near, and at eye-level, to another guy's junk was kind of hot, and Adam couldn't help responding a little, causing his boxers to bulge.
Dan was also finding it harder not to get harder!
Parker and Adam both decided it would be a waste to brush the rest of the gel on Dan's sac because there wasn't much hair on it anyway.
"Maybe you could put the leftover stuff on my underarms," Danny suggested.
So, that was what they did before Parker set the timer in his phone.
Poor Danny stood with his hands resting on the frame of the shower doors to prevent smearing the dye around until the time was up. He was rather ill at ease because his cock was at full mast now. The sensation of the brush tickling his mons had been a turn-on, and having the feeling in his pits as well, had put him over the top. He'd never realized how sensitive they were. He'd file that away in his mind for future reference.
Just before the timer was to go off, Parker started the shower to warm it up. Danny was relieved when he could, at last, finish. The other two left the bathroom to give him a little privacy.
A few minutes later, he emerged, still naked, but without a raging hardon.
"Wow! See how much fuller my bush looks! It's like a miracle. My pits look hairier too! I'll be proud tomorrow on the beach."
"You looked proud while you were in the bathroom," Parker snickered.
"Sorry about that, but I found the whole thing very stimulating," Danny blushed.
"We're not offended." Adam responded quickly. "I think it's cool you're, um, so well developed. Have you grown more since Christmas?"
"Thanks for that, and everything. I'll put my boxers on and go to my room. See ya in the morning."
The two older teens decided to share a shower before going to bed. Parker grinned as he used the wand to hose a bit of white goo off the inside of the shower door. Evidently, there was a reason Danny no longer had an erection when he came out to display his new look.
They played around a little before getting out to dry off.
"Um, did you buy the lube and stuff for us to use?" Adam asked shyly.
"I bought them as a present for my little cousin, but forgot to give them to him. I'll be sure to do that before he goes home. His father will never see to it that he has supplies. Since I still have them, we could put them to use if you want, but I thought it would be rushing things."
"I'm okay about waiting," Adam blushed. "I'm not in a hurry to do the anal thing, but I don't want to disappoint you if you are."
"You'll never disappoint me by taking things slowly. I'm not really ready either, but we could try some butt play to see what that's like."
"Okay, that would be cool! We've never done anything I haven't liked. I really loved the intimate touching we did in the hotel in Ames."
Realizing they'd have to behave on the nights Danny slept in their room, the guys decided to get in a little action on Saturday night. Both were kind of horned up from witnessing Dan's state of arousal, and it didn't take them long to reach Nirvana.
In the process, they did lube up their fingers to massage each other's sphincter, but stopped short of probing inside.
For the next half hour or so, they cuddled and planned what they'd do in the days to come. Eventually, they fell asleep.
Parker and Adam were awakened fairly early by a tapping on their door. They called out, "enter," and were greeted by Danny's happy smile.
"Aren't you guys up and ready yet?"
"Um, can't you see we're still in bed?" Parker asked, a bit grumpily.
"Grandma's up already, and she'll make breakfast as soon as we want it. I can't wait to get to the beach."
"Since I'm your driver, I think you may have to," Parker cocked an eyebrow.
"Shall I tell her you'll be ready in 10 minutes?"
"Make it 20, and scoot so we can get rinsed off and dressed. I hope you have a swimsuit under your shorts because you may need it, depending on how everyone else is dressed, or undressed."
"Okay, I'll go put one on."
"Jeez! Kids these days!" Parker snickered after his cousin had left.
"Ah, he's not so bad," Adam said, "We'd better share the shower to save time."
"Of course."
Grandma was putting the finishing touches on breakfast, and had already packed an ample picnic lunch for the guys by the time they came into the kitchen.
The older teens ate leisurely, visiting with the grandparents, while Dan nearly bounced off of his chair in anticipation. It was almost comical to watch.
"Would you like another waffle, or part of one?" Ellie asked him.
"No, I'm fine."
"You might as well make sure you're full. The beach will still be there, since there's no hurricane predicted today," she smiled.
"Grandma, you know Minnesota's like the frozen tundra. I need to be at the ocean as soon as possible to thaw out after our long, miserable winter."
"I suppose," she smiled indulgently at her young grandson. "You'll still have lots of hours of sunshine to warm you up. That reminds me, do you have plenty of sunscreen? Grandpa can tell you how serious over-exposure can be. I'd better send along the big beach umbrella too."
"We're well supplied with lotion, but the umbrella might not hurt," Parker agreed.
Because it was Sunday, the parking lot at the north end of the beach was quite crowded, but the guys eventually found a spot to leave the car without having to backtrack to the previous lot. They peeled off their shirts to leave in the trunk, and gathered their beach bags, umbrella, and cooler to carry the short distance to the shore.
They had to climb several steps on the pedestrian overpass which was kind of a bridge to protect the dunes from destruction. Coming down the other set of stairs, they saw a fairly large number of people, many of them nude.
"Wow! I'm actually here!" Danny cried in joy.
"The site on the Internet said single males tend to turn left and go up a way if they want to meet others of their kind," Parker informed his companions.
"I've already met my someone," Adam assured him.
"I thought Danny might like to see if there's anyone his age available to hang with."
"Hey, I didn't say I was gay," Danny protested.
"Neither did I. We can walk further south to see if there're more families."
"No, that's okay. Let's go a little north where there seem to be fewer people," Dan agreed.
When it had been a theoretical proposition, Dan had exhibited a lot more bravado about baring it all. Now that it was a reality, he seemed more reticent.
Parker set up the umbrella to shade the cooler for the time being. Then Adam and he spread their large towels on the sand and slipped out of their shorts. They'd gone commando, leaving their suits in the beach bag in case they were needed.
Immediately, they began coating each other's body with lotion, paying special attention to places on their backs that they couldn't reach very well on their own.
Dan blushed a lot, but finally pulled off his shorts and swimsuit in one smooth move, and lay face-down on his towel. It was pretty obvious why he chose that position.
"You need to have sunblock on your butt and your junk so you don't have to explain to Grandma why you can't sit down tonight," Parker warned.
"Okay, could you smear some on my back and ass? I'll take care of the rest myself."
Adam knelt to coat Danny's neck and back, while Parker did his butt and legs. Dan got a close-up view of Adam's junk in the process. That didn't do anything to make his cock soften.
"Wow, you've trimmed everything! Aren't you guys proud of your pubes?"
"I shaved for swimming finals like the rest of the seniors, and Parker joined me. We kinda like the groomed look, and it keeps the stray hairs out of our teeth!" Adam grinned.
"You guys do look hot!"
They all lay on their stomachs, facing the ocean, so they could watch the other sun-worshippers stroll by. It was a veritable parade of flesh, ranging from plump older men, to very fit millennials of both sexes, but no young kids. Dan's education in human anatomy certainly increased at a rapid pace.
He fidgeted around, while trying to get comfortable lying on his hardon. Parker recommended he scoop out a depression under his towel where his dick and balls could rest without getting squashed. He blushed at the suggestion, but found it to be a good solution.
As they all became accustomed to being naked in public, they felt more at ease. Parker said he'd like to take a walk, and Adam decided to join him. Dan said he was getting drowsy and would catch up later if they weren't back before he woke up.
The two older teens headed north, meeting two hetero couples along the way, as well as a larger number of single males. Everyone seemed friendly. A few guys actually spoke to them, openly admiring their bodies. It was a turn-on, and it made them self-conscious enough to be at about half-mast most of the time.
Eventually, they turned around to go back, but stopped to play in the surf to cool off, and to deflate their dicks. Splashing around turned out to be great fun, so they weren't in a hurry to return to their towels.
As they finally came out of the water and looked toward their umbrella, they saw a man standing near Dan. He appeared to be studying his body thoroughly, and eventually he knelt down in the sand beside the boy.
"I don't like the looks of that," Parker commented.
"Me neither. I think we should head that direction quickly.
When they got closer, they could see that the stranger was applying lotion to Dan's butt, rubbing it in a rather sensuous manner.
At that moment, Dan woke up and went into action. Being touched intimately by a stranger felt creepy, but he kept his cool. To prevent the guy from leaving before he got to make his point, Dan fondled the man's ball sac. As the guy began to relax and moan, Dan grabbed it tightly and gave it a twist.
The stranger let out a yelp and raced away so quickly that he tripped and nearly fell.
"Are you okay, Danny?" Parker asked, panting.
"Yeah, but I'm really glad to see you. His fingers were in my crack!"
"How did he manage to get that far?" Parker continued.
"I was fast asleep and didn't wake up until I felt lotion being applied to my butt. At first, I thought it was you until his finger brushed my asshole. It actually might have felt sexy if I weren't being molested against my will."
"That's for sure," Adam joined in. "Are you feeling too traumatized to enjoy the rest of the day, or do you want to stay?"
"I'm fine. I hope I taught him a lesson about not feeling up guys who haven't given their consent! I suddenly have a lot more empathy for girls who get molested."
"From the way he held his crotch as he left, I think you got through to him."
Presently, a man came toward them, trailed by a boy who looked to be Dan's age. Both were breathing rapidly.
"Hi, my name's Todd Cornell. We chased that pervert, but we lost him in the crowd. He followed my son around earlier, trying to talk with him, but Taylor wouldn't give him the time of day."
"Thanks for scaring him further away. I wouldn't have talked to him either, but I was asleep when he started touching my body. Now I'm gonna be looking over my shoulder the rest of the day!"
"Would you like to go play in the waves?" Taylor asked of Dan. "After being around that scum-bag, I'd feel more comfortable having another guy with me."
"Yeah, that sounds great. We'll go straight out from here where you guys can see us easily," Dan said, turning to his companions.
"Your brother seems to be okay," Todd remarked. "I'd hate to have him emotionally scarred from the experience."
"Danny appears to be fine," Parker remarked, not taking the time to correct the man's impression of their kinship. "It's nice of your son to befriend him."
"Taylor's been moping around because there wasn't anyone his age. He'll be going to high school next year, and most everyone here is older."
"Danny's in the eighth grade too."
"Well, if you're keeping an eye on them, I'll go back to where our towels are," Todd said as he headed up the beach. "Have a good one."
"Let's check the cooler," Adam suggested. "If your grandma made as much food as she usually does, we might invite Taylor to eat with us when the time comes."
As they looked at the two boys horsing around in the water, they got the feeling that Danny might very well like to have his new friend stay for lunch. They seemed to have hit it off splendidly.
