Come With Me

Come with Me By Adam Stewart

Author's note: Love comes to those who seek it. Warning: It contains explicit m/m sex.

Despite the weather being sunny, Toby was feeling depressed as he cleared away the empty plates in the transport cafe where he was currently working. He hated living in Cornwall and wanted to get out but he had little money so felt trapped. His father showed no love towards him, probably because Toby's mother had died whilst giving birth to Toby so he blamed him for the loss of his wife. The family had always been relatively poor since he only had a labouring job. His unmarried sister had moved in and taken over the raising of the child but she never showed any real love towards Toby who she considered to be a burden. As a result, she'd never married so also felt trapped.

Toby was now almost nineteen having left school at sixteen with few qualifications. Jobs in the area were sparse in any event and those that were available were seasonal. He'd been fortunate in having obtained one locally at a small cafe used by lorry drivers but the owner only employed him on a casual basis as and when he needed him so Toby had to either turn up or call each morning to see if work was available.

"Cheer up, it may never happen"

Toby smiled at Dan as he cleared away his empty plate. "That's the problem, I hope it does".

Dan placed a hand on top of Toby's as he wiped the table in front of him. He liked Toby and had sussed some while ago that he was gay. Toby had known he was different from an early age but had never been able to tell anyone. His father would not have understood or supported him and his aunt certainly wouldn't have done so. At school he was frequently bullied although he was never sure if that was because of his assumed sexuality or not. As a result he'd hated school and had not done well.

Toby looked at Dan who still had his hand resting on his. Dan was a regular and Toby liked him. They'd frequently glanced and smiled at each other and Toby had a feeling that Dan was also gay but nothing had been said. The cafe was on the point of closing and Dan was the last customer so there was nobody else around. The owner was in the kitchen clearing up so Toby let Dan hold his hand and rather enjoyed the feel it caused him.

"Want to talk about it" Dan asked, "You're nearly finished here aren't you".

Toby nodded. "Just got these other tables to clean and then I'm done for the day".

"How about popping in to see me; I'm in room three". Toby nodded without thinking. He liked Dan and felt comfortable with him. The cafe also had six motel type rooms at the rear which were used by drivers who wanted a night's rest. They were basic but provided a comfortable bed.

When Toby was finished and he'd dumped the rubbish in the bin outside, he slipped round to room three. Each room was tiny with just a bed and a small bathroom containing a shower. When Dan opened the door, Toby was somewhat surprised to see him stripped off down to a T shirt and a pair of boxer shorts. His eyes immediately looked down to the obvious area and he saw what appeared to be a considerable roll pressing against the thin material. Dan invited him into the small room and quickly closed the door. The curtains on the small window had been pulled across to give them privacy. He then sat down on the edge of the bed and patted the space beside him for Toby to do the same. Toby couldn't help but look at Dan's naked thigh that was on show and it caused a reaction of his own.

"So, why are you looking so down in the dumps?" Dan asked as he casually patted Toby's leg, which again caused an even bigger reaction in his crotch plus a shiver of excitement to shoot through his whole body. Toby explained how miserable he was at home, in his job and living in Cornwall.

"Yeah, I can imagine life is not a barrel of laughs in this area, especially being gay". Dan looked at Toby to see his reaction to that comment but all he got was a gentle nod in agreement. "So where would you like to be?" he asked guessing what the answer would be.

"London"

"So what's stopping you from going there?"

For a moment Toby just looked at Dan. It was a good question; what was stopping him from just leaving and trying his luck in London. It couldn't be worse than it was at present. "The fare to London is expensive for one and I'm not sure how to go about finding work there or somewhere to live for that matter."

Dan thought for a moment. He'd always fancied his chances with Toby despite him being ten years older but he sympathised with the guy since he'd gone through the same situation until a guy helped him. "How soon could you pack up your personal things to go to London?"

Toby looked at him and shrugged. "About fifteen minutes".

"In that case if you really want to move to London you can come with me tomorrow morning; I'll be loaded up by ten; as far as finding work I doubt a good looking guy like you would have much problem in finding a bar job in one of the gay bars in Soho; accommodation may more difficult but there are cheap rooms available if you know where to look and I can help you with that; I live near Acton Town so if you're really stuck you could kip at my place but it would only be temporary mind."

Toby gasped. "Would you really do that for me?"

Dan chuckled, "Yeah, I might" he said rubbing his hand up and down Toby's leg and slowly moving it towards his crotch. Toby was no fool and knew what Dan wanted but if it meant getting a free ride to London and help once there he was prepared to let Dan have his fun. Besides, he'd only sucked one or two guys off so it was time he got more experience. Seeing that Toby was willing, Dan moved his hand right into Toby's crotch and felt the bulge that had now formed. He gently squeezed it as he told Toby to think about his offer and send him a text either later that evening or first thing the following morning. He told him where and when he'd pick him up and if he wasn't there then he'd set off without him. Toby said he'd definitely be there.

"Great; so how about a quick roll before you go home and pack your things?"

Toby grinned and let Dan unfastened his jeans and feel inside. He gasped as he felt Dan's hot hand grasp his organ which was now fully erect. Dan then told him to strip off so he stood up and hastily removed his clothes. Dan silently gasped when he saw the Adonis naked and ready for action. His own T shirt and boxer shorts were soon discarded and he had Toby laying flat on his back.

"You are beautiful" Dan groaned as he slowly licked up and down Toby's hairless body. When he reached the long thick organ and took that into his mouth, Toby felt his whole body become alive. The hot flesh round his sensitive organ was just brilliant. Not too sure what to do, he decided to let Dan make all the moves. Soon his legs were lifted up over his chest and he felt Dan's hot wet tongue lick across his intimate hole.

"Oh god" he gasped loving it. He then felt Dan pulling him open and having dribbled some spittle into his hole he felt two fingers slipping inside. Suddenly Dan pressed against a certain part inside and his whole body jumped with joy. Dan grinned knowing what effect it would have on his young inexperienced friend. He was tempted to penetrate him but he didn't want to go too far, so after he'd opened Toby up some more and given him a good fingering, he bent down and sucked him off. The taste of the young guy's cum was wonderful and he enjoyed watching the sheer delight it was giving Toby. Once he'd finished he looked at him and grinned.

"Good?"

"Fucking brilliant" Toby exclaimed. "You want me to suck you off?"

Dan nodded although what he really wanted was to feel Toby inside him but he again decided not to tempt things so settled for a blow job. He just hoped Toby was good at it because he hated guys grazing his cock with their teeth or massaging him so hard that it made him sore. They changed over positions and he watched Toby take his short fat cock into his mouth. As soon as he'd done so he knew it would be a gentle seductive suck. Toby was good and slowly brought him to his climax. He waited for him to stop sucking when it was obvious he was going to shoot his load but Toby continued and took the whole lot into his mouth.

"That was good; do that to a guy in London and you'll soon have somewhere to live" Dan giggled. Toby grinned, even he had thought of offering himself for sex to make a living so if all else failed perhaps he'd do that.

Finally he went off home wondering how he would tell his father and his aunt that he was leaving. Not that he had any real concern since he had the feeling that they'd be quite happy to see the back of him. As soon as he'd walked through the door his aunt shouted at him. "Your dinner is in the oven; it's probably dried out by now but if you can't get home on time that's your fault". Toby made no comment but it confirmed his decision to leave home. His father as usual was watching the television and didn't even look up when his son entered the room. Toby went into the kitchen, pulled out his meal and sat at the kitchen table to eat it. His aunt was right, it was dry but she'd left the oven on fairly high so it was not surprising.

Once he'd eaten he went up to his room and packed. He only had a backpack that he'd used before so he selected clothes carefully before packing them into it. He pulled out other documents he needed and made sure they were safe inside his jacket since Dan had warned him about being careful in London. He then pulled out his mobile phone and sent Dan a text to thank him for his offer and saying he'd see him the following morning as planned. He then pondered when to tell his father and aunt but in view of their lack of interest in him he decided he'd announce it the following morning when they were having breakfast. By then he'd be ready to go and no time to argue, not that he expected either of them to do so.

The following morning Toby made sure he was up early and ready to leave before going down to breakfast.

"I'm leaving home" he casually announced as he poured out his breakfast cereal. At least it made his father look at him for once before asking when and where he was going. "This morning and to London" he said as he took a spoonful of cereal. His father said nothing but his aunt said he must be mad and what the hell was he going to do when he already had a good job at the cafe. "Good job?" Toby exclaimed, "Its crap and only on a casual basis". She then asked where he was going to live and how he was going to get to London. Toby casually said a friend was giving him a lift and had offered to put him up until he'd found a job and a room. This shut her up and his father said nothing. Once he'd finished his breakfast he got up and set off for work without saying anything to his son.

When Toby had finished his breakfast he fetched his backpack from his room and walked out the front door without saying anything to his aunt who'd not wished him luck or given any encouragement.

"Fuck the pair of you" he said out loud as he walked down the front path to meet Dan.

He was early but he didn't mind waiting for Dan. When he saw his lorry coming along he picked up his backpack and waved.

"So what did your father and aunt say about your move?" Toby had told Dan about his home situation the night before so was intrigued to know their reaction. When Toby told him he smiled. "Much the reaction of my parents when I left home; you're better off without them; you'll be fine" Dan added as he patted Toby's leg before setting off.

The journey to London was tedious since they had to go at a steady pace and also had to stop a couple of times for rest breaks and food but Dan was good company and Toby enjoyed their time together. During the journey he told Toby how he'd been rejected by his father when he found out he was gay and had never spoken to him since although his mother had relented and often made contact. It seemed Dan and a good friend of his had been found in bed together by the friend's father and he told Dan's. "So the shit hit the fan" Dan laughed, "He threw me out on the spot but in some respects he did me a favour". Dan was eighteen at the time and it forced him to make his own way in the world which he had done ever since. It gave Toby encouragement that he could do the same. He told Toby to be himself and not bother what other people thought about his lifestyle. "Things are getting better but there are still lots of people around who think we are disgusting and should have been put down at birth. I say fuck them and just get on with life" Dan laughed.

Eventually they arrived at the depot where Dan was making for and Toby stayed in the lorry whilst the cargo was unloaded. Since it was almost six in the evening by then, Dan said he could stay the night with him and set off the following morning to see what luck he had to find work and somewhere to live. The problem was that Toby had to find a job before he could look for a place to live since he had little money in his bank account but Dan kept on telling him he shouldn't have much of a problem.

Dan lived in a small flat in Acton Town but it was comfortable and suited him. It only had one bedroom so Toby had to sleep with him. He'd never before slept with a guy so this was a new experience for him but Dan didn't take advantage apart from cuddling him and giving him a suck, which Toby reciprocated.

The following morning, Toby set off to Soho to see if he could find a job at one of the bars. Most didn't open until midday so he had to hang around but enjoyed wandering round the area. Whilst waiting he called one of the contact numbers Dan had given him for accommodation but all they did was take his details and said they'd get back to him. It didn't sound too promising so he wondered what the hell he was going to do. He also contacted the YMCA and they too took his details saying they could provide overnight accommodation if he needed it.

Once the bars opened he went from one to another but all they did was take his details and said they'd get in touch when they had a job available. So far things were not looking good and he began to wonder whether he'd made a mistake coming to London or Dan had overstated how easy it would be to find a job. He decided to make one more enquiry so made his way into another bar.

Kevin watched Toby walk in with his backpack on his back and go up to the barman. He noticed the barman shake his head and Toby looking somewhat dejected. As soon as he saw the good looking strapping lad with long blond hair he immediately took to him. He watched Toby buy a drink and move away from the bar. As he stood sipping his beer, Toby casually looked round to see who was there. It was now mid afternoon and he had to make a decision about going to register at the YMCA if he wanted a bed for the night. He saw Kevin looking at him and smiled. Kevin smiled back and indicated for him to go over and join him.

"Hi, just arrived in London?" Kevin asked indicating the backpack. Toby nodded sadly saying he'd travelled up from Cornwall the day before and was looking for bar work but nothing seemed available.

"Yeah, jobs are not easy to come by in the current economic climate; where are you staying?" Toby shrugged his shoulders saying that was another problem because without a job he couldn't really afford a room so was planning to try the YMCA.

Kevin started to take more interest in Toby and patted his knee. "Might be able to help you with that problem" he grinned. He then explained that he lived in a gay commune near Tottenham Court Road which was run by a guy called Wayne who owned the house and provided a drop-in for gay guys who needed support and advice. "We can only accommodate around eight guys and at present there are only seven of us so you could be in luck if you're willing to muck in with other gay guys. It's good fun and we all share the upkeep of the house and just pay what we can towards the cost of food. Wayne pays for the running of the house since his family is wealthy. He's a nice guy and so are the others. Would you like to see it?"

Toby could hardly believe his luck and said he'd love to and was more than willing to live with other gay guys and join in with whatever was required. "Do you have a job?" he asked Kevin.

"Only casual bar work; I'm a pot man at a large gay club down the road but they often need extra guys so I could put a good word in for you if you like; the guys will love you" Kevin grinned as he looked Toby up and down, "I'm nineteen, how old are you?"

Toby said he was almost nineteen and would be more than happy being a pot man. It couldn't be worse than clearing away empty plates in the transport cafe and at least he'd be working in a gay environment.

Once they'd finished their drinks, Kevin led Toby to Hanway Place which was on the north side of Tottenham Court Road. The walk only took around ten minutes so was handy for the gay club Kevin had mentioned. As they walked along, Toby still couldn't believe his luck. Not only did it look as if he had found a roof over his head but possibly a job as well although he wouldn't know that until Kevin took him along the following day when the club opened. He warned Toby it was late hours since he was required to work from ten to three in the morning but since he had nothing else to do it didn't matter that he slept late.

"They let you know what hours they want you in advance so it's not too bad; they pay in cash for each night you work so it pays the food bill each week plus a few extras."

Toby said it sounded brilliant and very much wanted to find out if they were willing to take him on. Toby smiled; he was pretty sure the bar manager would want Toby to work in the bar since cute guys like him were always good for business.

When they reached the commune, Kevin led him into a small hallway and then into a large room that had a small kitchen area at the back where hot drinks and meals could be heated up in a microwave. Two guys were being given advice and information by Wayne who immediately stood up and came over to see them. Kevin introduced Toby and explained that he was homeless, looking for work and was interested in joining the commune.

"Hi Toby and welcome" Wayne said and immediately took Toby into his arms and hugged him before kissing him lightly on the lips. Toby was amazed at the welcome since Wayne had no idea who he was but that was Wayne and he welcomed everyone in much the same way. "I take it Kevin has told you how we operate here but you are very welcome to join us Toby" Wayne continued looking the young man up and down and enjoying what he saw. Kevin smiled knowing that Wayne, being twenty seven, was always attracted to the younger guys. Having said that, Wayne was an attractive guy himself and always attracted attention wherever he went.

Kevin explained that the ground floor was used as the drop-in and the occupants of the house lived on the first floor. Before returning to the other two guys, Wayne said he'd see Toby later once he'd closed the drop-in. Kevin led Toby back into the small hallway and through another door that accessed a corridor leading to the garden, access to a basement and the stairs up to the first floor. Toby noticed the garden was a small backyard mainly paved with planters full of colourful flowers and a few shrubs.

"If the weather is warm enough we sunbathe out there in the nude" Kevin grinned before taking Toby upstairs.

At the top of the stairs there was a bathroom and toilet at the back of the house and to the left there was a bedroom. There were large mattresses on either side of the room facing each other with a narrow gap down the middle. Kevin explained that you slept where and with whom you wanted. "We like to change about" he grinned knowingly, "but normally whoever goes to bed first sleep together and take the mattress furthest away".

At the front of the house was the day room and leading off this, above the hallway below, there was another room which had been converted into a fully fledged kitchen. "We all muck in when it comes to preparing meals so I hope you can cook" Kevin joked. Toby said he could and in fact had often had to fend for himself when living at home.

"Mikhail, this is Toby and he's coming to live with us" Kevin said introducing him to a very nice looking guy who was lazing on a large cushion at the front end of the room. Mikhail stood up and gave Toby a big hug and a kiss very much like Wayne had done.

"Welcome" he said in halting English. Kevin explained that Mikhail had joined the commune some three months before having fled his home country.

Toby later found out that Mikhail, who was twenty, had seen his boyfriend being dragged out of his apartment by state security police and then beaten to death for all to see. The reason was that someone had informed the authorities that he was gay and Mikhail knew who that person was. He went into the living room where he found his father looking out the window and laughing at the spectacle down below. "You bastard" Mikhail shouted at his father who just grinned and said he and his son were scum and deserved to be removed from society. Mikhail's temper rose and he picked up the nearest hard object he could find and smashed it across his father's head. He collapsed onto the floor with blood pouring out of the gash but Mikhail felt no regret for what he'd done. His own father had informed the authorities that his boyfriend was gay and no doubt had added his son's name so he didn't deserve to live.

Mikhail hastily took a photo of what was still going on down below for evidence and ran back to his bedroom. He'd prepared for such a time knowing that at some point the police would come and do to him what they'd now done to his boyfriend. He grabbed the previously packed bag, emptied his father's wallet of cash and removed another stash that he knew his father kept hidden in a book on the bookshelf. This money had no doubt been stolen from other less fortunate people so he had no compunction about taking it and leaving his father, assuming he survived the attack, with nothing. His mother was out at the time which was just as well otherwise she too could have suffered the same fate even though she didn't agree with her husband's views. Mikhail then rushed from the apartment and made his way out the back away from where his boyfriend was now lying dead on the ground. He'd already planned his escape and knew precisely where to go. Within half an hour he was knocking on the door of a safe house where he knew he could obtain false papers to get him out of the country. Within three weeks he arrived in England with his false visa. He'd been given Wayne's details so came straight to him. Wayne had contacts and was now in the process of obtaining asylum using Mikhail's evidence of his home country's treatment of gays.

As he was being hugged, Toby suddenly realised that Mikhail was only wearing a T shirt and nothing else since his hand touched Mikhail's naked buttocks as he hugged him back. Kevin grinned and said that clothes were optional so everyone wore as little as they liked. The only place where they had to wear trousers was downstairs in the drop-in area but often they'd be stripped to the waist and seldom wore shoes. "It saves on clothes" Kevin grinned "although nobody objects to seeing naked flesh around" he added laughing.

Another guy who'd been sitting nearby in a very sexy pair of briefs was called Aran. He was twenty one and from Thailand. He'd had to leave his small home village because once he'd been identified as being gay the ignorant population thought he must be infected with HIV. Since that was still very much a stigma he left and came to England. He'd joined the commune some six months before.

Having given Toby the same kind of welcome, Kevin introduced him to the third guy who was sitting at a table by the window where they usually ate their meals. His name was Taban and was a twenty-three year-old who'd fled from Uganda. Toby later found out that once he'd been identified as being gay his neighbours and workmates made life unbearable and threatened to kill him so he fled his homeland and came to England. He too had been living at the commune for about six months and Wayne was assisting him with his asylum application. The more Toby got to hear about Wayne, the more he liked him and wanted to live at the commune.

"Terry and Tom are out so will be back shortly" Kevin said as he showed Toby round. Terry was twenty two and had started the commune with Wayne three years before. Tom was eighteen, so the youngest of the group and had recently come to live at the commune having been thrown out of his home once his father found out he was gay.

He then showed Toby some coat hooks and shelves to one side of the room where he could hang and place his clothes since there wasn't room for storage in the bedroom. Whilst Toby emptied his backpack, having decided he wanted to stay, Kevin wrote his name on a small cardboard box and placed it on the top shelf. "That's for your personal items and whatever is in there is never touched by anyone else; likewise you never touch anything in anyone else's box". Kevin nodded and was pleased to see they each had some private space. "Apart from that we share most things although if someone wants to borrow an item of your clothing they must first ask if they may and you should do the same". Toby said he understood the rules and emptied his pockets of all his personal stuff into the box.

As he was doing this, he noticed Kevin stripping off to his briefs. "It's up to you but Wayne keeps the temperature up here fairly warm so we all tend to strip off" he grinned as Toby admired the nicely formed bulge inside Kevin's briefs. Not wanting to appear the odd one out, he too stripped off down to his sexy briefs.

"Wow, nice" Taban grinned as he had a good look.

"Yeah, very nice" Mikhail added in his broken English. Toby grinned and sat down on one of the large cushions alongside Kevin. Apart from eight chairs round the table in front of the window, all there was to sit on were large cushions or bean bags. Toby rather liked the idea as he lazed back and chatted to his new housemates.

A little while later Wayne appeared with Terry and Tom so they were duly introduced to the new housemate and admired him as they did so.

"Mm can see we're going to enjoy having you around Toby" Terry grinned and gave Toby's butt a sharp smack and a good feel.

"Right, who's cooking tonight?" Wayne asked as he stripped off his T shirt and jeans before slipping on a large caftan style shirt to cover his nakedness. As he stood naked for all to see, Toby admired his strong muscular body and felt his body react accordingly. He was clearly going to enjoy living with these guys.

Aran stood up and said he'd cook and Tom said he'd help. Wanting to show his willingness to muck in, Toby said he'd help as well. "You've only just arrived Toby" Wayne replied but Toby said he was happy to help out in whatever way he could. "Well, I'm sure Aran and Tom won't object having you help out" Wayne chuckled as he pulled out his laptop to deal with emails. Aran said he'd make a Taiwan dish using the chicken Terry and Tom had brought back earlier. He gave Tom and Toby each a job to do and the three set to work. Toby felt so happy and as he worked he briefly thought back to his father and aunt at home. If only they could see him now. Already he was so much more relaxed and enjoying life and he'd only been in London less than two days.

Once the food was prepared, they all sat round the table to eat. Everyone complimented the three cooks for a delicious meal. How different the mealtime was to those at Toby's home where all three people had sat round the table looking miserable. Here everyone was laughing and joking and enjoying each other's company.

That night Kevin invited Toby to sleep with him. Toby certainly didn't mind that since he liked Kevin very much and enjoyed his company. Once stripped, they chose a mattress at the far end of the room and snuggled down under the duvet. Gradually the others came to bed and Toby was conscious of some pairs having sex but nobody said anything since it was quite usual. Kevin pulled Toby up tight against his naked body and caressed him.

"Happy?" he whispered into Toby's ear.

"Yeah, thanks for inviting me to join the commune, it's great." Kevin gently kissed Toby and it soon became passionate with tongues invading each other's mouths. This was all new to Toby but it all seemed so natural. His hands started to feel over Kevin's naked body and it felt so good. He could feel Kevin's erection pressing against his and hoped that Kevin would take hold of his so he could do the same. He didn't have to wait long before he felt a hot hand surround his naked flesh and he silently gasped. It felt wonderful. He tried to reciprocate the move but Kevin was sliding down his body beneath the duvet to give the stiff organ a good suck. The intensity was so much that he was afraid of coming too soon but somehow he managed to hold back his climax.

After a while, Kevin reappeared and grinned. "Beautiful cock" he whispered, "What do you like doing?" Toby said he was up for anything not wanting to show his lack of experience. "You like being fucked?" Kevin whispered. Toby knew he'd have to tell the truth so he explained he'd never been fucked or fucked but he wanted to try both. Kevin gasped having not realised he was sleeping with a virgin. "Would you like me to fuck you then?" he whispered as he gently teased Toby's hole. Toby said he would so Kevin hastily reached behind the end of the mattress for the bottle of lube that was kept there for such occasions. "We have an agreement between us" he whispered, "sex between ourselves is raw but with anyone else is with protection and we all get tested regularly; you okay with that?" Toby nodded and said that was fine by him since he'd never had penetrative sex and he trusted Kevin.

Kevin's heart was racing at the thought of fucking a virgin. The only other time he'd done so was with his first boyfriend and that was when they were at school. He rolled Toby over onto his stomach and gently fingered him with plenty of lube. He wanted this first time to be something special for Toby so he took his time and made sure he was plenty open enough to take his not insignificant tool. Once ready and he'd checked with Toby that he was okay, he mounted him and slowly pushed his rampant organ into the prepared hole. Toby winced when he was being breached but Kevin knew that was normal so continued slowly since he knew once inside Toby would feel good.

"Oh fuck, that feels so good" Toby exclaimed. The feel of Kevin's hard organ inside him was out of this world.

"You bet it is; fucking brilliant" Kevin groaned.

"Guys, Kevin is fucking our new boy" Terry laughed from across the room, "Lucky bugger; what's he like Kevin?"

"Fucking brilliant" Kevin laughed, "but you'll have to wait until another night to find out".

Toby laughed at the banter going on between the guys. He'd certainly never thought that his first time would be with other guys around but he rather liked the idea and looked forward to having sex with the others whenever they invited him to sleep with them. He had a feeling he'd be doing the rounds over the next few nights but he was up for that.

Eventually Toby was conscious of Kevin reaching his climax and filling him up with hot seed. It felt good and he lay there enjoying every second. Once Kevin was done, he rolled Toby over and dived beneath the duvet to take Kevin's still hard organ into his mouth. He wanted to taste his new friend's cum. It didn't take long for Toby to shoot his load and Kevin soon tasted the hot seed.

"Mm gorgeous" he exclaimed once Toby had finished shooting and calmed down.

"Does he taste as good Kevin?" Taban giggled.

"Fucking brilliant guys" Kevin laughed, "but you'll all have to wait and find out for yourself".

The following afternoon, Kevin took Toby to the gay club where he worked and introduced him to the bar manager. As predicted the manager took one look at Toby and immediately offered him a casual job as a pot man. Knowing that the manager liked his guys to look sexy, Kevin had advised Toby to where a tight fitting T shirt that would emphasise his sexy torso. Toby's jeans hung low and showed off the top of his briefs, even though they weren't a well known make but the effect was good.

"You're lucky" the manager told Toby, "I've just promoted one pot man to a bar job so I need another". Kevin had heard the guy he normally worked with had applied for a bar job so he guessed there'd be an opening although knowing the manager he'd have taken Toby on in any event because the guy oozed sex even though he wasn't aware of it. The manager then went through what was expected of him which was not a lot different to what he'd been doing at the transport cafe. This was just on a larger scale. "I take it you won't mind guys having a feel as you squeeze through the crowds" the manager grinned. Toby said he wasn't bothered what they did which pleased the manager no end. A sexy guy collecting empty glasses always went down well with the clubbers so he was happy to see that Toby had no objections to having hands grope him as he went about his job. Kevin asked the manager if they could work the same hours if possible since they both lived at the commune and he said he'd do his best to accommodate. He knew Wayne and liked to keep in with him since Wayne had helped him out in the past with things.

Toby came away feeling on top of the world. He'd found a roof to sleep under and he'd got a job of sorts which would bring in some money depending on the number of shifts he was given.

At half nine that evening, he and Kevin made their way to the club and they agreed how to split up the work areas although if either one had more to do than the other they'd help each other out. Once the doors opened the guys starting pouring in. It was a Friday night so they knew it would be busy. As predicted, guys soon spotted Toby as he did his rounds and hands were soon feeling over his butt and giving him the occasional grope when he had his hands full but he took it all in his stride and grinned to let the guys know he had no problem with them enjoying themselves; besides, he enjoyed it too and frequently had a bulge to show.

The manager was pleased with the way Toby worked. He was good with the customers but still managed to do the job in hand. He also noticed that he was efficient at washing the glasses and kept the bar well stocked. In addition he'd noted that Toby and Kevin worked well as a team so he decided to offer them the lion's share of shifts. When their shift was over he offered them the five Wednesday to Sunday shifts on a regular basis which were generally the busiest. He'd use the less reliable guys on his list for the other two nights. Toby and Kevin jumped with joy and accepted. Although the pay wasn't that high at least it would be regular and was cash in hand. Toby worked out that he'd be better off than previously since his aunt had insisted on him paying her a weekly allowance to cover food and lodging whether or not he worked. Since Wayne never wanted money for the lodging he was living rent free so only had to pay his share of the food bill. He almost danced home after they'd finished and gave Kevin a big hug. When they arrived they stripped off in the day room before creeping into the bedroom to find an empty bed.

When Toby woke later that morning, he was conscious of a body up close against the back of him. The large mattresses either side of the room were up close against each other so it was easy to stray from one to another, sometimes deliberately. He soon realised it was Taban who had an arm round his waist and he could feel a morning wood pressing against his naked butt.

"Morning sleepy head" Taban giggled, "Want to fuck you". Toby grinned and moved a hand round his back to feel the long black organ. He rather fancied this inside him so he encouraged Taban by stroking it up and down. Taban meanwhile had grabbed hold of Toby's which was now very excited. As he opened his eyes wider he realised Kevin had gone to have a shower so they were the only guys left. Terry worked as a waiter in a gay restaurant in Old Compton Street and Tom was a kitchen hand in a small cafe so both of them had no doubt left for work. Aran was a barman in one of the gay bars but he wasn't on duty until lunchtime so was having his breakfast. Wayne and Mikhail were downstairs manning the drop-in.

Seeing that Toby was not objecting, Taban reached for the lube and gently fingered him. He then liberally covered his thick cock and gently pushed up against his goal. Toby groaned, not with pain but with pleasure, as the long black cock invaded him. It felt brilliant and he pushed against it to get the whole length inside.

"Yeah, beautiful" Taban groaned as he slowly thrust in and out. As he did so he massaged Toby so both were groaning and moaning with pleasure as Kevin returned from the bathroom. For a moment he stood and watched the shiny black bottom gently move back and forth. He loved watching Taban in action and it caused his own erection to form. He moved round so that Toby could see him and knelt on the matress beside him. Seeing the erect cock, Toby reached out for it and Kevin manoeuvred himself nearer so that he could suck it whilst being fucked.

As Taban reached his climax, Toby did the same and shortly afterwards Kevin shot his load into his mouth. Once all three were satisfied they all grinned.

"God he's a gorgeous fuck" Taban exclaimed.

"He's gorgeous full stop" Kevin grinned as he pulled Toby's face towards him for a passionate kiss. He knew he was falling in love with Toby but he didn't want to say anything just yet. Toby giggled rather enjoying the attention. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he'd be having sex with two guys so soon after leaving home, which reminded him, he needed to send a text to Dan to say all was well with him.

"Fancy doing some nude sunbathing in the garden?" Kevin asked after they'd had breakfast and cleared away the dishes. Toby said he was up for that and Aran said he was too since he didn't have to go to work until after lunch. Taban said he'd join them so they all stripped off naked and went downstairs. It felt odd walking downstairs stark naked knowing that some guys were in the next room. They could hear voices so knew Wayne and Mikhail were talking to one at least. Toby followed the others down to the cellar where they kept the sun mattresses they used outside.

Toby had not been down to the cellar before so was intrigued to see what was there. In fact it only housed the boiler that provided the heating and the hot water as well as being a storeroom for unused bits of furniture and bags such as his holdall that Kevin had placed down there. Once they'd each picked up a sun mattress they made their way to the garden. The small area provided a sun trap on days like this so felt good as they placed their mattresses on the paving and lay out exposing their naked bodies to the sun.

After a while, Toby looked up and realised he could see windows that belonged to the buildings either side. "Do you ever get watched?" he chuckled.

"Sometimes" Kevin replied, "But it doesn't bother us, does it you?"

"Fuck no" Toby replied not that he'd done anything like this before. He smiled to himself at the thought of his father or his aunt seeing him now. They'd have a fit. One person he knew who would like it was Dan and made a note to send him a text later to say what he'd been up to. He'd already received a response to his first one from Dan saying how pleased he was that things had worked out.

At lunchtime Wayne came out to join them. He always enjoyed seeing the guys sunbathing in the nude. He slipped off his own clothes and used the mattress that Chan had vacated having gone to work. Toby enjoyed looking at Wayne's muscular body and wondered what his cock would feel like inside him. The guy was big even when flaccid so he'd be huge when erect. Wayne seemed to sense Toby's interest and moved closer to him since he was lazing out on the mattress next to him. He reached across and casually played with Toby's organ. As usual it reacted immediately and was soon rock hard.

"Mm that's nice" Wayne groaned as he went down on it for a quick suck. The other guys watched on with interest knowing how much Wayne loved younger guys.

"He's a gorgeous fuck Wayne" Taban giggled.

"Yeah I bet he is" Wayne grinned in reply, "Fancy a big cock inside you Toby?"

Toby reached out for the blossoming organ which once in his hand was soon fully erect. "Yeah, I reckon I could take that."

"Come on then, let's find out" Wayne grinned and immediately got up taking Toby with him. Kevin and Taban followed wanting to see how Toby took Wayne's big cock. They'd all tried it and knew what it was like once inside.

Once upstairs, Wayne picked up two of the large cushions and placed them on the table. He then bodily lifted Toby onto them and got him to lie on his back. His legs were lifted high over his chest and Wayne opened him up with two well lubricated fingers. It wasn't long before Toby felt Wayne's big thick cock breach him.

"Fuck" Toby exclaimed as the large head slowly made its way inside. Once there it felt just wonderful. "Fuck, that feels beautiful" he added grinning.

"See guys, he likes being fucked with a big fat cock" Wayne laughed as he started thrusting back and forth with some force. Toby's whole body was shaking back and forth but Kevin could see he was enjoying it so said nothing.

"Ah fuck" Wayne suddenly yelled as his hot seed spewed out inside the gorgeous Adonis he was now fucking. "Yeah, he really is a gorgeous fuck; just beautiful".

When he'd finished shooting which seemed to go on for ages, he pulled out and lifted Toby towards him. He kissed Toby passionately and their tongues fought with each other.

"Who else wants to fuck this gorgeous arse?" Wayne chuckled once he'd released Toby and placed him back on the table.

"Me" Mikhail yelled with excitement and climbed onto the table, lifted Toby's legs right over his head and held him upside down. His cock was ready for action and he used the lubrication that Wayne had left to slip his cock inside. He was much smaller than Wayne but plenty long enough. He was soon fully embedded and thrusting in and out whilst the others watched on. He continued fucking until he too had spilled his load inside of Toby. "Thank you" he said before pulling him into a hard kiss. Toby loved the attention and being fucked. Life had really taken a turn for the better.

The gay club was heaving again that night being a Saturday and Kevin and Toby were on the go most of the time. The club was running an amateur strip contest that night which always pulled in the clubbers. Whilst it was on Kevin and Toby managed to watch as they slowly made their way round collecting empty glasses. Some of the contestants were gorgeous and they enjoyed what they saw. As Toby squeezed past a group of guys, who were already well lubricated with alcohol, they playfully grabbed him, unfastened his jeans and had a good feel inside. By the time they let him go he'd had his trousers and his briefs pulled down his legs to expose it all. Since he'd removed his T shirt because of the heat, he stood naked for all to see but he took it all in his stride and once they'd finished pulled his clothes up and moved on.

"He's a good sport" he heard one guy tell his mates, "wouldn't mind getting stuck into that arse".

Toby grinned and went to collect more empty glasses.

As they walked back to the commune some hours later, Kevin asked what had happened since he'd seen the guys having fun with them. Toby told him and they laughed. "Lucky you, I've never been so lucky" Kevin laughed and pulled Toby into a passionate kiss despite it being on the street. Nobody seemed to care that two guys were kissing and Toby felt a thrill shoot through him. Once home, they stripped off as usual in the day room and Kevin took Toby into his arms. They kissed passionately and erections were soon flying high.

"Want you to fuck me" Kevin whispered. Kevin was certainly up for that since he'd not fucked Kevin yet. So far everyone had wanted to fuck him. Kevin placed two bean bags on top of each other and lay over them with his naked butt in the air ready for Toby to penetrate him. Toby picked up the bottle of lube that was always at the ready and fingered Kevin. Once nicely opened up and he'd found that magic spot inside which sent Kevin into raptures, he lubricated his shaft and slowly slipped it inside.

"Yeah, fucking gorgeous" he groaned as he felt his shaft slowly slipping into Kevin's hot channel.

"Yeah, sure is; now fuck me real hard and shoot your spunk inside me".

Toby slowly worked his way towards that since he wanted this to last as long as he could. Eventually he felt his climax rise and his body tensed. Suddenly his seed erupted and he thrust even harder.

"Yeah, beautiful" Kevin groaned. It really did feel brilliant and he knew he wanted so much more of this guy."

Toby had now been living at the commune for three weeks. He could still not believe he'd been so lucky in finding a great place to live with such lovely guys and a job. He so enjoyed working with Kevin at the club and they got on well together. He in fact was falling in love with him but had not said anything because he wasn't sure how Kevin felt about him despite the fact that he seemed to take every opportunity to kiss and hug Toby and sleep with him. Everyone loved Toby's cooking since he was willing to try new things. He'd bought one of Jamie Oliver's cookbooks and was proceeding his way through it with Tom's help who loved working with Toby. All occupants got on extremely well and supported each other when the need arose. Everybody chipped in with whatever needed doing which pleased Wayne who everyone looked upon as their mentor and if someone was down for some reason, there was always someone else to provide the necessary comforting.

Mikhail and Taban in particular had days when they were down in the dumps because both were waiting for the result of their asylum application. Toby felt particularly sorry for Mikhail having heard the terrible story of how his boyfriend was beaten to death by state security police. Whenever he saw Mikhail down he'd give him a hug which Mikhail always enjoyed and would tell Toby how much he liked him and that he'd sleep with him that night. Toby never objected so they often did even though Kevin did his best to get in first. On one occasion when Mikhail was very depressed he secretly told Toby that he'd never ever go back to his home country so if his application failed he'd kill himself. Toby was shocked and tried to talk him out of such feelings but in his heart he could understand why. He tried to lift Mikhail's spirits by saying he was sure the solicitor that Wayne had employed would convince the authorities of his case, especially with the evidence that Mikhail had given him. Taban tried to put it out of his mind and would deal with the result when it was known but he too vowed never to return to his homeland which he felt had let him down.

On a Wednesday night the gay club often held themed nights in order to encourage guys to attend since mid week was always a quiet period. On this particular Wednesday they were running an 'underwear only' night so all clubbers had to strip down to sexy underwear. The manager asked members of the bar staff if they too would strip down so Kevin and Toby were encouraged to do the same. They could either wear sexy briefs or a thong. Since a well known manufacturer had given the club some items to wear so as to advertise their brand, they both agreed and chose to wear a thong since they both had a nice looking butt to show off.

Once they'd stripped naked and donned their thongs, the manager looked at them appreciatively.

"Yeah, very nice" he commented as he rubbed a hand over their naked butts, "I think you can expect to get lots of attention tonight guys". The bar guys had opted for tight sexy briefs which showed off their package to the full so they too received an appreciative approval from the manager.

As Toby and Kevin moved round the crowded floor they received numerous pats on their naked buttocks and several hands on their growing package as well. One particular clubber who was a regular and Toby had got to know, moved up behind him and thrust his hands down inside the front of Toby's thong. He grabbed hold of the naked organ and gave it a good squeeze. As always it reacted and was soon fully erect which the guy was quick to pull out and show off to his friends. Toby took it all in his stride and just grinned having felt the guy's package inside his briefs. He'd been tempted to slip a hand inside to feel the naked flesh but thought better of it.

The following week Wayne had arranged to take everyone to a lodge he owned on the Isle of Wight. He decided everyone could do with a short break so hired a nine seat minivan to drive down to Southampton and then take the ferry across to the Isle of Wight. Toby was particularly looking forward to it since his father never took him on holiday saying that since they lived in Cornwall there was no need. In truth it was because he didn't want to spend the money and couldn't be bothered to give his son some pleasure. Wayne said they'd travel down first thing on the Monday morning and return on the Thursday afternoon. Toby and Kevin decided it was worth losing a night's pay on the Wednesday for a free holiday, especially since Wayne had told everyone that his private lodge was a no clothes zone so they'd spend the whole time naked. Since the weather forecast was good for the whole period they looked forward to spending several hours sunbathing in the nude out in the garden.

Terry had been there with Wayne before so knew Mark and Michael who managed the lodge for him. They were a gay couple the same age as Wayne and had met whilst at college together. When Wayne said he was looking for a couple to manage the lodge and look after guests throughout the year who rented it for a nudist holiday, they jumped at the opportunity. Both were writers so they could do their writing alongside their other duties.

Wayne collected the hired minivan first thing on the Monday morning and he and Terry shared the driving so they sat in front. Aran, Taban and Tom sat in the middle row and Kevin, Toby and Mikhail sat in the rear seats with Kevin in the middle. Kevin and Mikhail had made sure they sat next to Toby since they both fancied him. Once they were on their way, Kevin took hold of Toby's hand and Mikhail took hold of his other. Toby enjoyed the attention and snuggled up to each of them in turn. Kevin and Mikhail knew they each competed for Toby's attentions but as much as Toby liked Mikhail, it was Kevin he was secretly in love with. As the hour and a half journey progressed, Kevin found both Kevin's and Mikhail's free hands roaming up and down his thighs and often into his crotch. The attention did nothing to reduce the bulge now clearly showing so both guys took great delight in feeling it and on one occasion even unzipping Toby's fly to feel inside. The other passengers seemed totally unaware of what was going on in the back which made it all the more exciting.

Once down in Southampton they were directed into the queue to wait for their ferry. Having finally boarded, the journey across took just under the hour. Wayne's private lodge was situated a short way outside the small village of Whitwell which was on the south side of the island so they had another half hour drive to get there. It was accessed via its own private drive so was well away from prying eyes. Once Wayne had parked up outside the front door it opened and Mark walked out stark naked apart from a pair of trainers to protect his feet from the gravelled driveway. Having given Wayne and Terry a big hug he turned to the other guys and did the same. He had the most beautiful body which was bronzed from sunbathing hours on end. When he saw Toby and had given him a hug he felt his manhood twitch with excitement. He was certainly going to enjoy seeing him naked.

Since they'd spend most of the three days naked their luggage was minimal and only consisted of personal items. The lodge contained three bedrooms so two were available for guests. To accommodate the eight guys, Mark and Michael had done as Wayne had instructed and placed a second double mattress in each room having removed the futon normally used. Downstairs there was a large open living area and an equally large kitchen. Out the back there was a large lawn and a hot tub which all the guys looked forward to using.

"Okay guys, strip off and we'll have lunch out on the patio" Mark grinned so the guys ran upstairs to do just that. When they came back down they met Michael who'd been busy in the kitchen preparing sandwiches for everyone. He too was a good looking guy and seemed to have a permanent semi erection from what Toby could see. Either way it looked good. Everyone followed him outside and sat down on large sun mattresses that were scattered on the patio. As Michael handed round plates, Mark handed out cans of beer. Everyone was feeling excited and looking forward to having a good time.

They spent the rest of the afternoon sunbathing in the garden and generally enjoying each other's company. After their meal that evening they enjoyed the hot tub. Since it only accommodated four at a time they took it in turns. When one group was enjoying the hot tub the others were enjoying each other on the grass in the warm evening air. Whilst Toby, Kevin and Tom were having a threesome with Toby being fucked by Kevin and sucked off by Tom, Toby glanced across to where Wayne and Mark were busy at it. They were old friends and Wayne always enjoyed a good long hard fuck by Mark. When Toby's group had satisfied each other, he looked across to the hot tub and noticed that it was Michael, Taban, Aran and Terry who were having fun together.

"Where's Mikhail?" Toby asked. The other two looked round and couldn't see him either. "I'll go and find him just to make sure he's okay" Toby said as he jumped up and ran inside the house. Kevin smiled, Toby never ceased to amaze him; he was always so kind and aware of those around him. Toby looked in the main living room and Mikhail was not there so he went upstairs to the bedrooms. He found him sitting on a mattress sobbing his heart out. "What's wrong Mikhail?" he asked rushing over to take him into his arms.

"I can't go back, I really can't" Mikhail sobbed. Toby caressed Mikhail's naked body and tried to soothe him but Mikhail's tears continued to pour.

"You won't be going back" Toby said trying to comfort his friend, "We won't let them do that I promise". As soon as Toby had said the words he knew none of them had any power to stop the authorities doing precisely that but he knew from what Wayne had said the hearing was not for some weeks yet so for the moment he knew Mikhail was safe. Mikhail continued to cry despite Toby's best efforts so all he could do was gently hug him and kiss him. After a while, Toby saw Kevin standing in the doorway watching them. For a moment he felt jealous that it wasn't him in Toby's arms but he knew Toby was only trying to comfort Mikhail. Despite Toby's lack of love from his father and his aunt, he seemed to have a never ending supply for his friends and it was one of the many things that Kevin loved about him.

"What's wrong?" Kevin eventually asked coming up to kneel beside the other two.

"Mikhail seems certain he'll be sent back to his home country" Toby explained. Kevin nodded. He could understand Mikhail's concerns but until the hearing had been held there was little anyone could do to convince him that all would be well, assuming it would in the end.

"I know, it must be hard having that over you Mikhail but we're all here for you and will do all we can to support you". Mikhail nodded but the tears continued to roll down his face. In the end Kevin decided he should get Wayne to come and speak to Mikhail since he knew more about the case so he quickly went downstairs to fetch him.

"Your solicitor has gathered together a lot of evidence to support your case" Wayne told Mikhail once he'd joined the small group sitting on the mattress. "In addition to the evidence you provided he's obtained a lot more from a leading human rights campaigner who has contacts in your home country; he's the guy who was badly beaten by the police during a Moscow pride so he knows what it's like; your solicitor is fairly sure he can argue your case and win so don't let it get you down".

Mikhail looked up at Wayne and mouthed a weak 'thank you' but deep down he wasn't so sure. "I can still see him being beaten to death; I should have gone to his aid but instead I ran away" he pleaded with yet more tears pouring down his face. Toby hugged him and kissed the tears which tasted salty.

"If you had Mikhail you too would have been beaten to death, you know that so there was nothing you could have done" Wayne replied. "Instead your evidence will be seen by everyone because once your case has been won I intend publishing those pictures you bravely took to show the world what your home country is really like; you must be strong for your boyfriend and never forget what you did for him."

Mikhail looked up again at Wayne and nodded. He knew he was right. If he had rushed to help his boyfriend he certainly wouldn't be sitting here with these lovely guys who he knew were doing all they could to support him. "Sorry" he whimpered.

"There's nothing to be sorry about" Toby said gently, "Just remember we are all here to get you through this terrible time so when you next feel you want to cry you let us know and we'll be there for you." The other two nodded their agreement and Kevin once again felt a lump in his throat. He so loved this guy and wanted to take him into his arms there and then but Mikhail needed him most at the moment so all he could do was stand nearby.

By now Tom had joined the group and sat looking at Mikhail. He couldn't imagine the horror of watching someone you loved being beaten to death and knowing there was nothing you could do to stop it. He gently patted Mikhail's naked leg but he couldn't comfort him in the same way as Toby was able to do. Even in the short time Toby had been at the commune everyone had noticed that and loved him for it. When Wayne had left them, Kevin patted Mikhail and Toby on their knees and suggested they slept together that night. He could see that Mikhail needed Toby close beside him for the moment. "Tom and I will sleep on the other mattress so we'll be here too if you need us" he added as he caressed Tom's naked thigh. Tom had no problem with that arrangement since he liked sleeping with Kevin and with a bit of luck would feel his long thick cock inside him.

Mikhail and Toby nodded and got ready to settle down. They slipped beneath the duvet and Toby wrapped his arms round Mikhail who snuggled up as close as he could. It wasn't long before both were sexually aroused but neither was in the mood to do anything about it so just held each other's excited organ and kissed whilst Tom and Kevin enjoyed each other in a much more intimate way.

The following morning the sun was shining and the temperature had risen even higher than the day before. Michael suggested they go to the nudist beach at Blackgang Chine and have a swim. He explained that at the far end gays tended to gather so they could laze naked in the sun and swim in the nude. It wasn't an official nudist beach but over the years had become a popular place for those who enjoyed the freedom of being naked, especially any gays who were visiting the island and the few who lived there.

Wayne and Mark said they'd stay behind so Terry drove the others to the Chine. Everyone knew the real reason why they were not joining the others was because they wanted to spend the day having sex. Although Mark and Michael were partners they both strayed every now and then so Michael was cool about it. Besides he too had enjoyed Wayne's big cock inside him before now and knew Mark loved a long hard fuck.

The rest of the group climbed excitedly into the minivan and set off. The Chine was not that far away so they were soon parked and making their way to where the gays normally gathered. It was early in the day so there was only a lone couple locked into a passionate embrace when they reached the area concerned. They all quickly stripped off, laid out the large towels Michael had given them and displayed their naked bodies for all to see whilst enjoying the warmth of the sun.

"Who wants a swim?" Michael asked after they'd lain out for quite some time.

"Me" Toby yelled and jumped up ready to run off into the inviting water. He loved swimming in the sea and to do it naked was even better.

"And me" Mikhail added and got up to join Toby.

"Aren't you coming Kevin?" Toby asked looking at the guy he secretly loved. Kevin grinned and seeing that Toby was inviting him especially, he joined the group. They ran down to the water and went splashing in. The water was not as warm as they'd hoped but once in they soon got used to the coolness. Kevin noticed that Toby was a strong swimmer and much better than him. Suddenly he saw Kevin dive down into the water and disappear. For a moment his heart stopped wondering where Kevin was as he stood in the water looking round. He then felt hands grab him round the middle and pull him under. It didn't take long for the pair to be in an embrace kissing and feeling each other. Mikhail and Michael joined in and all four enjoyed grabbing each other and having a good feel beneath the water.

When they finally walked back to the others, all four had semi erections which didn't go unnoticed. Tom and Taban were also in an embrace and as they walked towards them they could see Tom's naked butt moving up and down as he rubbed his erection up against Taban's. Terry and Aran were looking on and enjoying the spectacle as they casually felt each other's appendage.

They'd brought lunch with them that Michael had prepared so when it was time to eat they passed round the sandwiches and cans of beer. Two or three other guys had appeared by this time and gazed at the eight naked guys as they passed by. Toby was so happy and involuntarily pulled Kevin into a kiss in between sandwiches.

"Happy?" Kevin grinned knowing full well that the guy he loved was on top of the world.

"Yeah, very; still can't believe this is all happening; I feel so lucky to have found you guys". Kevin smiled and patted his leg as he took another swig from his beer.

"Are you feeling better today?" Toby asked turning towards Mikhail who was sitting next to him on his other side.

Mikhail nodded and smiled. "Yeah, thanks; I too am a lucky guy to have great friends like you" he said in his faltering English although it was improving daily with everyone's help.

Kevin smiled at Mikhail and reached across to pat his back. "We too are lucky to have a lovely guy like you with us". Mikhail grinned and felt a sense of joy shoot through him. His boyfriend would have so loved being with these guys.

When they returned to the lodge later that afternoon they found Wayne and Mark in the hot tub and looking very happy with themselves. "Had a good day?" Mark asked the eight guys who'd stripped off their shorts and T shirts before entering the garden.

"Yeah, great" they all replied.

"And you two?" Michael asked grinning at his partner.

"Yeah, we've kept ourselves amused" he grinned knowingly.

"Yeah, I bet you have; no doubt been fucking like rabbits" he laughed.

"Almost" Wayne grinned before pulling Mark into yet another kiss and feeling the erection that was hidden below the water.

After their meal that evening they enjoyed the hot tub once again and had an orgy on the grass under the warm night sky. This time Toby made sure Mikhail was with them and was joining in the fun. At one point the ten guys were in pairs with one riding the other. Moans and groans filled the night air as those being fucked enjoyed the feel of the hard organ inside them and those fucking slowly reaching their climax. It was times like these that Wayne was glad he'd bought a place well away from neighbours because he enjoyed watching and hearing guys enjoying their sex.

All too soon the three days and nights came to an end and it was time to go home. Everybody had enjoyed their short holiday and gave Michael and Mark big hugs and kisses before leaving. The journey back went well so they were home by mid afternoon as planned. That evening Kevin and Toby were working at the club and Aran was on duty at his bar. Terry had also agreed to do a late shift at the restaurant so once they'd had their evening meal they all set off for work.

The following Saturday Tom was working a late shift at his cafe in Old Compton Street. His shift ended at ten when the cafe closed. As he was making his way back to the commune along Frith Street towards Tottenham Court Road, a group of yobs walked out in front of him. He had no alternative but to stop since they were blocking his way. They looked as if they'd been drinking and started to laugh and make comments about him. He knew he looked gay since he had a camp style about him but it never bothered him. He'd always been comfortable with his sexuality and if others couldn't accept him that was their problem not his. Even when his father had thrown him out of the house he'd stood proud and said it was his father's problem, not his.

"We've got a right Nancy boy here guys" one of the yobs said as he moved right up to Tom's face and grabbed his balls.

"Bet he likes that" another laughed.

"Yeah, you like having your cock grabbed don't you"

Tom tried to stay calm and shrugged his shoulders "Don't you?" he added hoping that would get him out of the situation.

"Yeah, but I'm a real guy, not a fucking queer like you"

"Bet he likes cock up his arse as well" the other said and pressed his crotch against Tom's backside. Tom was tempted to reach behind and grab the guy's balls but decided against it in case the action caused further aggravation.

"I bet he does" the one in front said and pulled Tom into a shop doorway. It was dark and Tom hastily looked round to see if there was anyone around who would come to his rescue but the street was deserted apart from him and them. The four yobs surrounded him blocking any chance of escape. The guy in front was now tearing at his shirt to open it up whilst the one behind was ripping the front of his jeans open. Once he'd done so Tom felt a hand delve inside his briefs and feel his naked organ. Even though he was frightened, it reacted to the hot sweaty hand and started to get hard.

"Yeah, you like your cock being held; you fucking queer; bet you'd like me to fuck you as well"

Tom was now getting really scared and felt his briefs being pulled down and a hand feeling his entrance. He then felt a naked cock being pressed up against it trying to force its way in.

"If you so hate gays why are you trying to fuck me then?" he shouted suddenly gaining the courage to fight back. In no way was he going to be raped so started hitting and scratching the guy in front. He lashed out and punched Tom in the face but Tom elbowed the guy behind whilst he kicked the guy in front. The other two just stood there watching clearly not wanting to get involved. They knew their mates hated gays and took every opportunity to rough one up but they also knew that if they got caught they too would be arrested.

"Let him go Barry; he's not worth it" one of them said. Tom kicked the shin of the one in front again and then kicked backwards and caught the guy behind him.

"You fucking queer" he shouted as he nursed his sore shin but Tom took the opportunity to get out of their grip and started running up the road as he pulled his trousers up. Fortunately just at that time two cars went by and the yobs decided to let him go. They'd had their fun and wanted more drink so walked in the opposite direction. When Tom realised they were not following him he slowed down. His heart was thumping as he walked briskly to the commune.

"What the fuck has happened to you Tom?" Terry gasped as he saw Tom's face which was bleeding and looking swollen round his eye, plus the torn shirt and jeans still unfastened. Tom collapsed on the nearest cushion in the day room and cried. Mikhail immediately went over and took him into his arms. It brought back images of his boyfriend and he wanted to hold Tom and console him. Slowly Tom said what had happened and Terry, Wayne and Taban listened whilst Mikhail got the first-aid kit out and tended his wounds. When Wayne heard the story he was angry and said they must report it to the police. It wasn't the first time he'd had to report homophobic yobs in Soho and no doubt wouldn't be the last but he knew the local police were now far more sympathetic and wanted to try and rid the area of such behaviour. Tom was not sure he wanted to get involved with the police but Wayne said it must be reported to avoid others receiving the same treatment. Mikhail agreed and took Tom into his arms to hold him tight.

"We'll be with you" he said gently so Tom nodded his agreement.

"An officer is on the way" Wayne told them a few minutes later. He knew who to contact and the officer concerned knew Wayne so if he said something serious had taken place it was worth looking into.

When the front door buzzer sounded, Wayne told Mikhail and Taban to stay there whilst he and Terry took Tom downstairs to the drop-in room. He didn't want either of them getting upset over seeing the police. When the officer saw the state Tom was in he had no doubt that he'd been attacked. He'd seen enough similar cases to recognise homophobic attacks. He gently teased the information out of Tom along with descriptions of the main protagonists. Tom also mentioned that he'd heard one of the other two guys call one of them Barry. The officer knew immediately who he was looking for and spoke into his radio. He put out an immediate call for the bars to be searched to find them. It wasn't the first time these two particular yobs had been reported but they'd not had hard evidence to use before now.

"Leave it to us Tom" the officer said gently, "We'll catch them and once we do I will take you to the station to identify them." Tom was worried about them seeing him again but the officer said the identity parade would be done behind one way glass so they wouldn't be able to see him.

"What about if it comes to court, won't Tom be required to give evidence?" Wayne asked.

The officer suggested they cross that bridge at the time. "The chances are they will plead guilty so no witnesses will have to be called but we already have three others who are willing to testify if we catch them." Tom accepted that and relaxed back into Terry's arms. The officer smiled at him. He had no problem with the gay community who in the main just wanted to get on with their lives without hindrance. Besides his seventeen year-old son had just come out as being gay and he was proud of him despite the views of some of his colleagues.

When Toby, Kevin and Aran saw Tom later, they were horrified. Toby immediately rushed to Tom and took him into his arms as Kevin stood by and watched. He so loved this guy and knew he had to say something. That night they slept together and Kevin pulled Toby into his arms.

"I love you" he whispered into Toby's ear. Toby gasped wondering whether he'd heard Kevin correctly. He looked at him in the gloom and could see Kevin smiling at him waiting for his reaction.

"I love you too" Toby replied. His heart was thumping with joy as he said the words. Not wanting to disturb the others they hugged each other and kissed. At last they'd declared their love for each other and they were on top of the world.

The four yobs were found in a bar drinking so Barry and his mate who'd attacked Tom were arrested and taken to the police station. Since they were both drunk they were placed in a cell for the night to get sober. The other two were given a warning and advised to keep away from their mates because next time they too would be arrested as accomplices even though they'd not actually done anything. The warning had the desired effect and their so called friendship with Barry and his mate ceased. On the Sunday the officer called Wayne and asked if Tom could come along to identify the two who'd attacked him. Two other guys were also there and each of them identified Barry and his mate. The pair was charged with homophobic assault and attempted rape. Fortunately the pair pleaded guilty when it came to court several weeks later so no witnesses were required. They were given heavy fines plus a community service sentence and banned from going to Soho. Since they both now had a criminal record that would affect their future they decided to give central London a miss in future.

"Kevin and I have been invited to join the club's float in gay pride" Toby exclaimed excitedly one morning.

"Yeah, and we've got to wear sexy trunks which to be honest don't cover a lot" Kevin laughed, "God knows what my parents will say if they see me on television" he laughed but he was past being concerned what they thought after their disgust at finding out he was gay. As a result he'd left home and come to central London where he'd met Wayne. He seldom talked about his family and as far as he was concerned they no longer existed. Toby laughed and wondered what his father and aunt would say if they saw him cavorting along the streets of central London wearing nothing else but a very skimpy pair of sexy trunks which the club were going to provide, but the chances of them seeing footage of the London Gay Pride down in Cornwall was remote.

Thankfully the day of the Pride was warm since neither Kevin nor Toby fancied cavorting around half naked in the cold. They'd been issued with what they were to wear and in fact it was a swimsuit thong which left their buttocks virtually naked and a pouch that just about contained their tackle. When they got them home everyone wanted to see how they looked so they stripped off and put on a floorshow. Wayne took lots of photos for the record and said he'd have one or two printed and enlarged to adorn the wall in the day room. Toby and Kevin grinned rather liking the idea.

Once at the starting point where they all had to assemble, they removed their T shirts and jeans and stood around in their thongs. Everyone loved them and they had lots of admirers. Fortunately the bar boys who were also taking part had to wear the same so they were not alone. The float itself was decked out with balloons and bunting and a group of clubbers were to dance to music as it went along. They too were stripped down to the waist, some wearing sexy shorts and those not quite so brave, wearing their jeans. Everyone also had to wear a pink sash that had the club's name emblazoned on it. The club had provided bacon rolls for all those taking part so that gave them something to do whilst they waited for the off.

Finally they were moving. Kevin and Toby were required to prance along in front of the float whilst the other bar boys walked along the side with collection buckets. A gay charity had been chosen for the money collected and it was hoped the onlookers would be more than happy to give to gorgeous guys showing their all. As they walked, Toby could hear lots of wolf whistles from guys and girls. He and Kevin rather enjoyed the attention and it didn't bother them in the slightest that their bodies were on show to the public at large, the majority of whom were gay in any event. Each time the parade came to a halt, for whatever reason, official photographers and film units would come up and take pictures of them. Toby noticed one particular film unit was from Channel Four so he wondered how that footage would be used.

The journey was long and tedious but the excited crowd made it all worthwhile. Along the way they passed their mates from the commune who all gave them a big cheer. At that point the parade came to a standstill for a moment so Toby rushed over and gave each guy a big kiss. They all hugged him and had a good feel of his naked butt. Guys standing nearby wished they too could do the same but the parade was moving on again so Toby rushed back to his place.

Finally it reached the end and they reclaimed their clothes which had been transported by the club. Once dressed and thanked by the manager, they made their way into Soho to enjoy the rest of the day. That evening they were both on duty so couldn't drink too much but they enjoyed themselves and Toby could finally say he'd been to and taken part in London Pride.

The club continued the Pride celebrations that evening so the manager asked all bar staff to wear their swimsuit thongs again. The clubbers loved it and had a good feel of Kevin and Toby as they moved through their midst. They were both used to the attention by now so it didn't bother them however personal it became.

One month later, Wayne announced that an important official from Mikhail's home country was coming to London and the human rights campaigner who'd provided information for Mikhail's asylum case was planning a protest outside the building where the official would be attending. The purpose was to highlight the treatment of gays in that country so Wayne had said he'd attend and would anyone else like to do so. Toby said he'd like to do so for Mikhail's sake since it was agreed that neither he nor Taban should attend just in case they were arrested which could upset their chances for asylum. Kevin and Tom said they too would attend but Aran and Terry were working that day.

On the morning in question the four of them made their way to where the protest was to take place. Before they left, Toby pulled Mikhail into his arms and said "I'm doing this for you and your boyfriend; I shall tell the world they are murderers". Mikhail kissed and thanked him.

The campaigner had already prepared banners for everyone to wave which stated various things about the way Mikhail's home country treated their gays. Toby made sure he picked one that actually said 'Stop murdering gays' and felt proud to wave it high. They had to wait quite some time before the official car arrived but by the time it did the group were in strong voice and a crowd of onlookers had assembled nearby.

Toby and Tom had managed to get on the front line and the official car pulled up right in front of where they were standing. Almost before the car had stopped two burly security guards jumped out and stood looking angrily at the protesters. The official was ushered out of the car and into the building with shouts of murderer and various other statements. One of the security guards was facing right in front of Tom and Toby so they directed their shouts of murder directly at them since from what Mikhail had told them it was guys like this who'd beaten his boyfriend to death.

Suddenly the guard moved forward and took a swipe at Tom and pushed him into the crowd behind. Toby saw red and immediately struck him with his banner which landed firmly on his head. For a moment the guard was dazed even though the wood holding the cardboard banner was not that thick. Two British policemen rushed forward and grabbed hold of Toby as he continued to shower the guard with more strikes of his banner. Before he knew what was happening, he was being led away. As he went he looked behind him to see if Tom was okay. Seeing Kevin and Wayne looking after him he allowed the officers to lead him over to their car. Wayne rushed over and spoke to the officers but they were only interested in taking Toby to the police station. Wayne shouted at Toby as he was bundled into the car that he'd see him at the station.

By now, Toby was shaking with fear. He'd never before been arrested and didn't know what would happen to him. At the police station he was asked for his name and address, which he gave as the commune, and told he was being charged with public affray. His mind was in turmoil as he was duly processed but once he saw Wayne he gave a big sigh of relief. "A solicitor is on his way Toby so don't say anything until he arrives" he called out as Toby was taken into a room for questioning. Toby nodded and as soon as the officer dealing with the case started asking questions Toby said he was not going to say anything until his solicitor arrived. He'd watched films where people said that and felt somewhat smug that he was using the same line. The officer knew he couldn't do anything further until Toby's right to have someone present had been fulfilled so left the room with an officer standing by the door.

About twenty minutes later, Brendan, the solicitor which Wayne had called and who was handling Mikhail's asylum case, duly arrived. He asked to have five minutes alone with his client so the officer guarding the door stood outside. Brendan was very nice and put Toby at ease seeing he was frightened. He got Toby to explain exactly what had happened and made copious notes. He'd already heard Wayne's version although he was standing further back so couldn't be too sure what had happened. Tom was still in a state of shock back at the commune so was in no fit state to give his account. Brendan was fairly sure that what Toby had said was the truth and having seen how the security guards behaved on previous occasions was not the slightest bit surprised. However he also understood that the police had to look as if they were protecting foreigners visiting London so were duty bound to go through the process.

Eventually the officer dealing with the case returned and started asking Toby questions which he answered when Brendan said it was okay to do so.

"As you can see officer" Brendan said once the questioning was over, "my client was protecting his friend from an unprovoked vicious attack by the security guard so he is not guilty of any public affray; if anything the security guard concerned should be arrested but no doubt you won't be doing that". The officer smirked and said that was highly unlikely but the embassy had already made a complaint so they had no alternative but to charge Toby. "Okay, if that's how you want to play it" Brendan replied, "we'll see you in court; meanwhile I assume you have no objection to my client being allowed to go home since he has no previous convictions and as can be seen is hardly a dangerous criminal." Toby tried not to grin at Brendan's obvious dig at the officer who was now looking somewhat uncomfortable. He'd had dealings with Brendan before and knew he could rip him to bits in court but his superior had told him the case had to proceed in view of the foreign element.

The officer eventually agreed to Brendan's demands and told Toby that he could go home but not to leave London. In his heart he too believed Toby's account of what had happened but the matter was out of his hands. "By the way" Brendan added as they left to go, "did the security guard in question go to hospital or receive medical attention at the scene?" The officer said that as far as he knew he had not and that there were no visible signs of injury. Brendan smiled and placed a comforting hand on Toby's shoulder as he led him out to where Wayne was still waiting.

As soon as Wayne saw them he rushed forward and took Toby into his arms. "Are you okay?" he asked pulling Toby up close against him. He blamed himself for not being right beside him and Tom although Kevin was immediately behind them.

When they got home the others rushed up to meet them and wanted to know what was happening. Wayne had briefly spoken to Brendan so knew roughly what would happen next. "He's been charged and will have to appear at the magistrate's court probably next week". Mikhail took Toby into his arms and hugged him. "I'm sorry Toby, all this is my fault". Toby kissed him and told him it was okay but deep down he was worried about what would happen to him.

The next day Wayne took Toby, Tom and Kevin to see Brendan. He needed to get statements from Tom and Kevin as to exactly what happened since the police had not bothered to do so. He had a feeling they were just going through the motions to placate the foreign officials but he didn't intend Toby being used as a pawn in their game. It was time these people were brought under control since it wasn't the first time such an incident had taken place. When they'd finished, Wayne commented that he'd seen a cameraman filming footage of the events. He knew the guy in question so could probably obtain a copy of the footage. Brendan told him to do that and if it clearly showed what had taken place then he'd use it as a last minute bit of evidence in court. Everyone agreed that even though Toby could be shown as just protecting his friend from an unprovoked attack they wanted to show these people up in public and a court room where there would be reporters was the ideal place to do that.

Within a few days, Toby had been given a court date. As he read the letter he went cold with fear but Kevin consoled him and said all would be okay. Wayne had spoken to the cameraman and seen the footage. It clearly showed that the security guard had attacked Tom first and that Toby had then hit him to protect Tom. He also gave Wayne photographs that had been taken by another photographer present. These would be provided to the prosecution along with Tom and Kevin's statements but the film would be held back as last minute evidence.

The hearing date was upon them and Toby was feeling very nervous despite everyone's assurance that he'd be okay. Brendan told him that coming over as nervous was good since it showed he was not normally an aggressive person.

Having heard the facts of the case as put by the prosecution, which seemed to indicate that Tom and Toby had started the attack on the security guard, who was not present in court to be cross examined in view of his diplomatic immunity but had provided a written statement, the chairman of the bench asked Brendan to present the defendant's case. Brendan first asked Toby to take the witness stand and asked him to explain in his own words exactly what had taken place. Toby went through everything calmly and perfectly. Brendan then asked him why he'd attended the protest and Toby explained that a friend of his had watched his boyfriend being beaten to death by state police. Brendan then presented the photographs that Mikhail had taken to prove the point. Having done so the chairman asked the prosecution if they wished to cross examine but they declined knowing that it was a waste of time since the police statements had said much the same.

Brendan then called Tom to give his account which was exactly as Toby had said. The prosecution made a weak attempt to undermine what Tom had said but Tom remained firm. Kevin then took the stand and said much the same but also gave Toby a character reference saying he was the most kind peace loving person he'd ever met. To avoid showing that he and Toby lived together as boyfriends and therefore biased, he'd given his parent's address as his place of residence. Having heard his evidence the chairman queried why the police had not questioned either Tom or Kevin as part of their investigations. The prosecutor shrugged his shoulders having asked the same question.

Brendan had already presented the photographs but they didn't indicate the order of events so he then announced that he'd just come into possession of film footage of exactly what had taken place. The prosecution tried to argue this was not admissible at this late stage but Brendan insisted that the court should see it and the chairman agreed. The clerk of the court took the film evidence and played it on the monitor in front of the court. It of course clearly showed the security guard first attacking Tom who'd been standing behind the barrier waving his banner. It then showed Toby hitting the guard to stop his attack on Tom. Having seen the footage, the chairman spoke to the two members sitting with him and then asked Toby to stand up.

"Your evidence and the evidence of the other witnesses plus the film footage clearly show that neither you nor the young man you were trying to protect had provoked the security guard in any way so the case is dismissed and you may stand down and go home". The chairman was clearly annoyed that his time had been wasted. He also had a gay son so had every sympathy for the protest being made but nobody present was aware of that.

When the chairman had finished, those in the public gallery cheered. Toby looked up and grinned at Wayne and mouthed 'thank you'. He looked across to where Tom and Kevin were sitting and did the same. Once outside they all hugged and kissed not bothering who was watching. Brendan loved watching the guys show their love for one another even though he was not gay. It always touched his heart which was why he was always happy to represent any of Wayne's friends.

As they were about to leave, a reporter came up to them and asked for an interview with Tom and Toby. Brendan nodded his approval and they answered the questions put to them. As they did so a photographer was snapping away. That evening it was reported in the Evening Standard under the heading 'Foreign security guard attacks protester'. Photos of Tom being attacked and Toby trying to protect him were also shown along with a full account of what had taken place and how the security guard had tried to make out Tom and Toby had attacked him first. In addition it gave graphic details of what was happening to gays in Mikhail's country and attacked the government for their anti gay laws.

Everyone at the commune was delighted and when Toby was next on shift at the gay club he had guy after guy patting him on the back and congratulating him for his actions. Toby tried to play it down and shrugged it off but deep in his heart he felt proud of himself. Even more, he felt proud of Kevin who'd stood by him and given him such a glowing character reference in court. That night they made passionate love despite it disturbing the others who looked on rather enjoying the sight of Kevin's bare arse pumping up and down as he fucked his boyfriend.

A few weeks after the protest, Mikhail's asylum hearing took place. When he and Wayne came home both were grinning from ear to ear. "I can stay, I can stay" Mikhail shouted jumping up and down with glee. Everyone rushed up to hug and kiss him and congratulate him.

He then turned to Wayne and hugged him. "Thank you" he cried with joy.

Since the protest, Tom and Mikhail had become very close and slept together most nights. Mikhail still loved Toby but he knew Kevin was the one that Toby really loved. Even so, they slept as a foursome on adjacent mattresses and frequently changed about when sex was on the menu. They all loved the feel of each other inside them and made the most of it.

Shortly after this, Taban's hearing took place. His was not quite so satisfactory since he'd not been given leave to stay indefinitely but his visa had been extended by two years on the basis that things might change in Uganda within that time. Taban was not so sure but accepted the situation. As it happened, he'd met a British born Ugandan who'd come along to the drop-in for some advice from Wayne and they immediately connected. They spent days and nights together and before long it was clear they were both in love with each other. Since the guy had his own accommodation, Taban moved in with him with a view to them living together for a year and then entering into a civil partnership. This would then give him the right to remain in England.

Terry and Aran had also become a couple much to everyone's surprise. They too decided to get married in due course but also wanted to run a small cafe down in Brighton together. They'd found the perfect premises and Wayne loaned the money for the purchase. He didn't really expect to see its return and was happy for them to have it as a gift if necessary.

Several weeks after Terry and Aran had moved out of the commune, leaving just the five of them, Toby received a phone call. He didn't recognise the number but a guy called Bill said he'd been a work colleague of Toby's father.

"I'm afraid I have some bad news Toby" Bill said solemnly, "Your father collapsed at work; it was a heart attack and has died; I'm so sorry."

Toby felt no emotion as the news sank in and said nothing. Bill then explained that he'd found Toby's number in his father's pocket book and had been asked to make contact. "I take it you'll come down to deal with things" Bill added.

"Don't see why I need to" Toby replied coldly, "He hated me so my aunt can deal with everything".

For a moment there was silence before Bill spoke again. Toby's father had never spoken of his son which explained Toby's reaction. "Are you not aware that your aunt died about three months ago? She was hit by a car when she walked out in front of it; died immediately according to the reports in the local paper; did your father not contact you?"

Again Toby felt no emotion on hearing the news. "She hated me as well" he replied.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry Toby, I'd no idea; but don't you want any of your father's personal effects?"

Toby said he had no feeling for his father or his aunt so saw no point in wasting money in travelling back to Cornwall. His father had lived in a Council house so they could sort things out. As far as he was concerned he wanted to forget his past so he thanked Bill for contacting him and ended the call.

Kevin had overheard Toby's side of the conversation and looked at him when the call had ended. "Are you okay my love?" he asked and moved over to where Toby was standing. He then told Kevin what the call was about and Kevin hugged him. He knew Toby's feelings towards his father and his aunt and to be honest he didn't blame him but even so, suddenly being told that both had gone must have been a shock. "I'm sorry my love".

"Don't be; I'm glad that part of my life is behind me; what I'd like to do now is take you to bed so you can fuck me."

Kevin grinned and pulled his boyfriend into a big hug. "That sounds a brilliant idea" and took Toby by the hand into the bedroom. Once prepared, Kevin fucked Toby with gusto until he was shooting his load. When he'd finished he lay on top of Toby and they kissed passionately. "God I so love you" he cried.

"And I love you too" Toby said and pulled his lover into another passionate kiss.

The commune took on a different feel now it was just the five of them living there. Okay they had more space in the bedroom and day room but it didn't feel quite the same. Wayne had also come to the decision that he didn't want to run the drop-in now that Terry had left them. It had been a joint venture and it too felt different now that he was no longer living at the commune.

"How would you guys feel about leaving London and come with me to Brighton?" Wayne asked the other four one day. He then explained that he was selling the property in Hanway Place to the guy who owned the properties either side of them. It seemed that guy wanted to merge the three into one to expand his business so he'd offered Wayne a good price. In addition, when Wayne had visited Brighton to look at the premises he'd bought for Terry and Aran's cafe, he'd seen a twenty bed hotel for sale. It had been allowed to run down because of illness and the owner had now died so it was going cheap. The whole place needed refurbishment and Wayne felt it would make an ideal gay hotel. His idea was that they'd be self sufficient and run it between them. They'd only offer breakfast so Toby and Tom would be responsible for that, Kevin would be responsible for reception and taking bookings with Wayne's assistance, and Mikhail would be responsible for housekeeping using the others to assist with cleaning and making beds. Wayne would pay all four of them a basic wage but they'd also have a share in the profits.

"How about it guys? I reckon we could really make a go of it together and there's already a three bedroom self contained flat on the top floor where we could live."

The other four guys had no doubt that they'd love to join him in such an enterprise. It would mean they all had a proper job and still live together. Two days later Wayne took them to Brighton to view the property on which he'd already put in a provisional offer. As he'd said, the whole place required refurbishing so they'd need to put in new bathrooms, a new kitchen for the hotel and the flat which also had a large living room as well. The property was situated on the Hove side of Brighton so was ideal for gay guys to get into the centre of town for all the gay bars and clubs.

"It's fucking brilliant" Toby exclaimed once they'd done a complete tour of the premises. The others all agreed so Wayne immediately called the agent and confirmed his offer.

It was accepted so six weeks later they were moving out of the commune, which had now been Toby's home for the past year, and moving down to Brighton. They'd decided to move in so as to be on hand for the refurbishment work which the builder estimated would take around two months to complete. Whilst their flat was refurbished, they used three of the hotel bedrooms but once that had been done they moved in having bought new furniture for each room. Toby and Kevin had one bedroom, Mikhail and Tom another and Wayne the third. It seemed odd sleeping in their own rooms but they rather enjoyed the fact that they could make love without others watching on even though they frequently had sex with one another which Wayne particularly enjoyed. He'd never wanted a regular boyfriend, much preferring casual sex with the other guys plus anyone else he happened to meet. At least now he had his own room to which he could invite more guys into his bed!

By the end of two months they were up and running. A website had been designed and bookings were flooding in. The majority of guests were gay men but the occasional lesbians came too. Wayne had also had installed a large Jacuzzi into the semi basement area with a separate part where guys could have fun. It was a no clothes area so the gay guys loved it. Wayne had also provided the facility to show gay porn down there which encouraged sex between the guests on occasions. The five of them often enjoyed the Jacuzzi during the daytime when guests were out so whilst one manned the reception to deal with any visitors or calls, the other four would enjoy themselves downstairs.

It soon became a popular venue and was invariably full throughout the spring, summer and autumn period with a good number during the winter. At Christmas they also offered a Christmas lunch which Toby and Tom provided with help from the others. Everyone loved their new life and after the first year Tom and Mikhail announced they were getting married. Kevin then proposed to Toby who readily accepted so they arranged a joint wedding for the two happy couples. The reception was held at the hotel using outside caterers to provide the food for everyone. Terry, Aran, Taban and his new partner were also invited plus Brendan and Dan who Toby had kept in contact with all the while. It was the happiest day of Toby's life and when they finally went to bed they made passionate love as did Mikhail and Tom in the next room. Not wanting to miss out, Wayne had taken a fancy to Dan so they too had a good time!

The years went by and the hotel continued to do well. Toby's love for Kevin grew even stronger as did his love for the other guys. He now felt loved and was happy beyond his wildest dreams.
