We potted around and generally did what we normally do, I took him to the cafe and had a pie for lunch, he chewed on a bit of pastry I had broken off. I spoke to a lot of townies about Rose's posts and was informed there was a run on the florist shop last night and early this morning. My friendly advice was, it should all be kept as business as usual with Rose, smile a lot, and hug her but they were not to ask her how she feels. The message will be sent around the town quite quickly. Wendy was on board with mum today. May was across the road setting up the business with Jason, I finished my lunch and decided to take a run out to the Wagner farm. Bubs was excited to be in a familiar car again and he enjoyed my company as I sang to him on the way. I parked in the barnyard and stepped out, Faith ran out and hugged me then she took Mason.

"I thought I would come and see if you needed a hand."

"No thank you Nicky come and have a coffee with me." We walked into the house and in no time she had some scones and coffee arranged perfectly at the table.

"So you have it all in hand then?"

"Yes Nicky thank you for the offer but I have too many hands at the moment." She giggled.

"The boys have cleaned up the barn and the horses will be bedded down elsewhere, there is plenty of room to set up tables and chairs. a local band is doing the music and what are you wearing?" I nearly choked but I laughed instead.

"Something cowboyish, something new, and something very sexy." I lifted my eyebrows.

"Well that's expected Nicky, but what are you wearing?" She's not going to let it go.

"Black chaps, jeans, and a very nice embroidered black and red shirt, matching red belt and boots, and a hat."

"That's not sexy."

"It will be by the time I finish with it." I winked she giggled again.

"Thank you for what you did for our Rose Nicky, I believe there was music and some dancing at the cemetery."

"Yes March's idea, and there were plenty of tears also, Rose did very well to let go. She said she felt better but we can all watch her, and if she slips we will be there to hold her up again."

"For sure Nicky, now tell me about my son, have you heard anything?"

"No, which one?"

"Jimmy, Hank was being a little snappy the other day and I wondered if they were fighting."

"I haven't seen them Faith, but I'm sure it would be nothing, maybe just a lovers spat we all have them."

"Maybe Nicky, another scone?" I rubbed my tummy and said yes please.

I am certainly not going to get in the middle of this one, if they are having problems then their first mistake was to have Meat Me on their phones.

We talked about Mason's dummy spit at the river and March having to bring him home early, we both laughed.

"Faith, there is something I have been meaning to ask you, something I don't want to ask May and March. Where are their parents buried?" She looked stunned but she answered.

"I thought that would have been one of the first things March would have told you Nicky."

"No, he hasn't said anything to me lovely."

"They were both cremated, and their ashes were scattered or buried at your swimming river Nick. I believe there is a small plaque there somewhere, I can't believe he didn't say anything."

"He is a very private man Faith, and to this day I am still finding out things he should have shared with me. I get that it's a very personal thing with March, and it doesn't upset me. I thought if they were at the cemetery I would drop off some flowers."

"There are plenty of wildflowers and vines at the river son, they both decided it was the most beautiful place on earth to house the ashes. I have never seen May's car there, only March's."

"Thank you, now show us the barn."

"It will be my pleasure." She took Mason and started talking to him, he was excited because he gets to see his horses again.

We walked over to the barn, which is vast and Mason was jumping up and down in Faith's arms. The place has been cleaned up and fresh hay bales and some old wagon wheels had been placed everywhere.

"We will move the horses on the day, come on bubbie let's go see your friends."

He squealed and jumped up and down again as the first one stuck his nose in his face, I could see Jimmy over by the loft ladder he was smiling so I waved. No sign of Hank though he must be busy elsewhere.

We said our hellos to them all and Jim placed him on one docile mare's back, the kicking started again.

"How have you been, and where is Hank?"

"Good Nicky, he's out the back clearing a place for the portable toilets."

"I never thought of that, it's certainly well organized, have you all done this before?"

"Yes Nicky, at the old farm before we came here. Mum and dad like their barn dances." He laughed.

"So I guess you will be sleeping in the house." I knew they had rooms at the back of the barn they had claimed.

"It won't be a late night Nick, there is no need to shift back home." He giggled.

Faith had gone off with Mase to see the chickens and the dogs I could hear his squealing, and from out of nowhere I heard him say.

"It was me."

"What?"

"It was me that wanted to try a threesome Nicky, I know you know. Tom is a friend of yours so we figured he might say something."

"He did, and I don't want to be in the middle of it, mum said you have been arguing this week, she's worried, but I will not tell a soul, not even March."

"Thank you, a stupid mistake on our part, now Hank thinks I want to do it all the time."

"He loves you."

"I love him, and I can't fix this. All I wanted was to try it, but when it happened he didn't figure after he fucked me that Tom would want to also. He loved it and it has got to him, and I can't settle him down." I got the feeling this man was lying to me.

"Big mistake my friend, once desired never forgotten, the most important thing is love, if your love is strong nothing should come between you. Did you enjoy it?"

"Yes I did, a lot. It was the next day the accusations arrived and I don't know why, he was a more than willing participant."

"I can't help you both, trust is important but maybe I am made differently."

"But you did it in the city."

"I was forced to do it, there is a big difference."

"Maybe we have it all wrong then Nicky."

"Just talk it out with him, if you want others in your sex lives well and good, but you both must agree on it. No harm in getting some action and to be very honest with you I thought about it, but that will never happen. I value March's respect too much. If you are thinking about doing it again go to the city, go to a sauna where you are both not known, do it that way."

"Maybe, I will talk to Hank again. He was eager to try a three-way also, this is not all on me, and we are both still learning."

"I know Jimmy, you both just have to find a common ground." He blushed. I didn't think I was getting the full story off Jimmy, in the past he's been a little childish and if I was a betting man I would think he instigated it and probably as he said thoroughly enjoyed himself.

Faith and a happy baby came back and she handed him over so I could ask questions about his farm friends, he tried to moo like a cow but his spit got in the way.

"So you don't need me then?"

"No Nicky, thank you."

"Ok I will see you Saturday night, oh what about the babysitting will you need a hand for that?"

"No thank you once again, I have six ladies on board they will rotate through the night." She smiled I felt at ease.

I put Mase in the car and kissed Faith goodbye, I did say everything is right with the boys, it was just a disagreement they had. I don't know whether she believed me or not, but I did get a big hug back.

I drove home and my urges had arrived, some questions were answered but it left me with more, I can't get involved with this they have to run their own race. He was home when we got there and Mr. Mason headed for his arms, I kissed him and asked him how many fish he caught.

"I threw four back in Nicky, dad threw three Ethan didn't get one." He giggled.

"What did you buy?"

"A tool shed that is being delivered in a couple of days, some chicken wire, a hat boots chaps belt, and a shirt. Oh, and an outfit for our son."

"Show me." I know where this is going and I couldn't wait. I tried the full outfit on and his lips were all over me while Mase had his afternoon nap. I was left with only my red boots on by the time he stripped me, they scratched his back but he didn't care he was too busy uploading.

Another dancing lesson, and another family hot tub when Mase woke up. He had done the chicken wire in a flash and sorted out his tools for storage when it arrives. Mase was telling him all about his farm friends he even made some pretty good chook sounds.

"Did you see Jimmy and Hank?"

"Yes Jimmy, Hank was clearing some farm yard for the toilets."

"Ethan said they were having some trouble this week."

"They were, did he say what it was about?" I asked.

"No, I thought you may have talked to them."

"I did ask Jimmy because Faith was a bit concerned, he said it was just a difference of opinion."

"I told him that you would know better than me." He grinned, and I had lied to him once more.

I didn't want March to get in the middle of this, he would understand, but he would also be back thinking about the threesome again. I won't say anything about his parents either, he has to tell me this one. If it's private then I fully accept that. I was unusually randy tonight, he danced me around the family room again and rubbed himself up against me at every opportunity I was hard as a rock. I was told by him that we had to be naked to do this sort of dancing, so I complied. Our dinners were warmed up and we sat to eat our roasts. Again, he took a pic and sent it to May she sent back a pic of her hamburger and a note saying.

'Try to not get your dick in any more of your photos March.'

He went beetroot, his lap was in full show with the roast.

I laughed so much that he shut me up with a lingering kiss once again. Bubs was put to bed and we went on another sex rampage.

I ran to work and he drove around the block a few times, I have looked but haven't found any gullies to fall into yet, and bub's loves his morning tour. The town had brightened up and I could see many smiles on my local friend's faces, I didn't know whether it was because of Rose's comeback or the barn dance. But people were very chatty and smiley as we passed.

Rose was at the cafe and she winked at me, indicating everything was all right with her. March had his usual egg and bacon roll and I joined him today. Mase was taken by May who harrumphed at March, who said a very shy.

"Sorry sis."

"Well, it's got smaller since the last time I saw it."

"It wasn't hard this time." I chirped in.

"Oh dirty talk, have I missed much?" Rose sat with us, I laughed once more at March's face.

"Go on show Rose your very nice dinner."

"No, Nicky stop it."

"He sent May a photo of his dinner and forgot he was naked at the time."

Rose put her hand out and said.

"Show me."

"No," He protested.

"Now!" She ordered. He got his phone out and found the picture.

"There deleted."

"It's okay Rose I have a copy," May yelled out. March went to get up but Rose was quicker.

He yelled at his sister Rose smiled, a lot.

"It's been too long Nicky, I haven't seen one of those for years, and well done March."

"Time to get yourself a boyfriend Rose." She giggled.

"As if." I rolled my eyes and said.

"Leave it to me then." I smiled.

"What are you wearing to the Wagners on Saturday Rose?"

"I am not going Nicky."

"We will pick you up at six, be ready." It wasn't a request it was an order.

"Guess I could find a hat somewhere in the house."

"Good." I touched her hand.

March went with dad to start his day and I went across the road to check my clients out, Mason stayed with his aunt May. Almost a full house today and after saying good morning to everyone I walked out the back to look at the new room.

Some of the contemplation gardens had been started and the room looked lovely with all the extras in it, big mats, incense, bags of tea, and sundry. A coffee machine and fridge had been set up and a stereo for mood music, I assumed. They will open it soon and I must get May onto the local site to tell everyone when it is opening.

I went back inside and talked to March, he was busy so I played games until he wasn't. Our day went unhindered and when I looked across the road Rose was standing out the front laughing with some customers I didn't recognize, must be day trippers, I hope she hasn't forgotten about my cleaning tomorrow.

March tapped on the window they were going for morning tea, and once again he opened his arms and Mase fell into them, then he fell into mine at the cafe, making more clucking sounds.

"You can have him in a minute, he just wants to talk to me," I smirked.

"One minute." he smothered his pie with sauce.

"Maybe he thinks you will take him fishing again."

"No chance of that after Saturday's effort." He winked at dad.

"I have never heard a kid scream so much Nicky, not since we took your dolls off you."

March's head whipped around and he stared at me.

"He is joking March," I said.

He started laughing. Well, we are a happy family today and it was good to hear nothing but happy things for a change. Mum and dad had their outfits ready and were like the rest of the town, excited.

I don't know how he will get along with the babysitters Faith had organized but we will certainly find out. I loved those dolls and was pissed off big time back then.

Saturday night finally arrived and we dressed just after we had another dance lesson. He was awesome and my hands were working overtime. I couldn't stop kissing him he was so lunchy. I changed and deliberately put a pair of black underwear on I didn't tuck my nice shirt in, it covered my ass and I was told I looked sexy in my boots and hat. Mason looked so beautiful we took many photos but the hat wouldn't stay on and he picked at his small bolero top. He liked the leather strips hanging off it, they must have been very tasty.

"We had better go March, Rose will be waiting."

"Right, let's get this show on the road."

I picked up the big bowl of potato salad he took Mason's travel bag and him.

Rose's house was really nice, it was tucked away in the trees and almost unseen from the road. I knocked and this wonderful lady opened the door, she had her hat in hand and a chequered dress with boots on.

"You look awesome."

"Why thank you kind sir, save a dance for me later."

"I most certainly will."

The drive was chatty, everyone was nervous and also ready to rave. March found a parking spot and one of the girls took Mason. She said there were other babies the same age as him there and if there are any problems one of them will come and get us. There was town folk everywhere, my God Faith what have you done? The barn was all lit up and the band was setting up, Faith and Ethan greeted us and said to grab a table as quick as we could, they were filling up. I placed the salad on a big table and then went to find March and Rose.

Mum and Dad were already there and we joined them at their table. Mum looked great she even had straw in her hair, and dad had blackened out his front teeth and I couldn't stop laughing at him, they both looked like hillbillies. March was asking if Mason would be okay I reassured him he would be fine.

I thought once he started playing with the others he will forget all about us. I was reminded that tonight would be his first interaction with others his age.

May and Jason arrived and sat with us, they looked the part but Jason had his chopsticks in his hair still. Drinks were poured and the band started tuning up. There must have been a hundred or more folks in that barn, and there would be more to come, I was assured of this by Ron who had shorts and a chequered sleeveless shirt on with his work boots. Nope, you will not outdo me tonight Ron, but my husband is already giving me a good run for my money.

I excused myself and went to the toilet where I took my underwear off, I made sure the shirt covered my bare ass and my red jock strap was hiding all my floppy bits, now I will compete for sure with March Stephenson. I heard the band start and I walked back to the table. I took March's hand and pulled him up onto the dance floor.

"Now let's see if all those lessons make sense."

"Nicky, maybe we should sit down and wait for others to get up."

"No can do husband, I want to dance with you." We slowly danced to a quick step I think, others got up including mum and dad, they know their dances. I held March and he placed his hand on my lower hips.

"Try the bum baby, it might feel left out." He grinned and blushed then slipped his hands under my shirt tail.

"Nicky?"

"Surprise," I yelled.

"Nicky you have nothing on."

"I do, just not on my bum, that's for you."

"Come with me." He almost dragged me out the back door and around the corner.

"Show me."

I unbuttoned my shirt and took it off, and he was met with my red jock and belt with boots to match, and my black chaps, I turned around and showed him my bare ass, he grabbed me and kissed me, I touched him intimately, and yes, he was as hard as a rock.

"For you only baby."

"My God Nicky I have no words, you look awesome."

"Thank you, my man. Will I win best-dressed cowboy now?"

"Oh yes of course you will, thats an awesome outfit." The kissing didn't let up for ages and neither did the butt rubs and the bulge gropes. I buttoned up my shirt again and when we went back inside he forced me to sit on his knees.

I have no idea what I was doing to my March but his light kissing on the back of my neck was turning me into a frenzy.

"let's go home Nicky," He said more than once.

"Dance with me Rosie," I grabbed her hand before March could complain, then I quickly stepped her around the floor. She was laughing up until I told her to scratch my buns, then she was screaming laughing so much everyone thought she was having a fit.

"Did I do good, my friend?"

"Oh yes, you certainly know how to tease an old girl, thank you." I saw March approach and she was whisked away by Ron, I heard her laughing all through the night I doubt whether I even saw her sitting down that much.

March took me and almost yelled,

"Sit with me at the table Nicky, no free feels."

It didn't last long because Hank grabbed me and March almost followed us around the floor. He was also a great dancer, and he wanted to talk.

"Your and Jimmy's business, please don't involve me, sorry Hank but you work it out and your secret is safe with me. I will say something though, if you want to continue down that path make sure Jimmy is on the same page." He looked over Jimmy's way and said.

"He is more on the page than I am, but I do love him so much."

"There's your answer then, tell him not me and if you do it again don't let the other guy get into your head, keep it real it's just sex."

"Well I was ready to leave it at that, but he has other ideas that I don't agree with."

I thought as much, it's not Hank it is Jimmy that wants to continue it.

He left me standing in the middle of the floor and mum took me and asked what was wrong with Rose.

"Grab my bum under the shirt tail mum." She did then she also screamed. March wasn't furious, he was just trying to get to me, probably to have another feel. He finally caught up and I was in his arms once more.

"That's better." He did place his hands under my shirt and rubbed me constantly. We danced past Faith and Ethan, she asked about Rose so I stood back and lifted my shirt.

"That is much better." She yelled almost pissing herself.

"Nicky you can't do that here, they are our friends."

"Pretty happy friends March, aren't you happy?"

"No, I mean yes. Of course I am happy."

"What are you up to brother-in-law?" May said in passing.

I did the same trick I did to Faith.

"Wow, how big is that thing?"

"I'll send you a pic."

We both laughed then continued with our dancing.

The music stopped and we sat to have a drink, no umbrellas or swizzle sticks just some juice and ice from the bar.

I was still laughing when I heard.

"Ladies and gentlemen take your partners for the progressive barn dance."

"That's us March, hurry up." I jumped up again and dragged him onto the floor.

"No mucking around Nicky, don't let anyone touch your bum."

"Oh March, you are spoiling my fun. I get to dance with all these hunky men now."

"Let's sit down, I don't feel so well."

"I will do it on my own then."

"Behave."

We took our positions and waited for the music to start, up two three back two three side side and around two three, change partners.

"Bye March." I sang out.

I can tell you now that I got poked pinched and groped as I changed partners many times. Who needs a threesome when you got a herd of cowboys dancing with you? I had done my job well, and we sat through the next two dances as I tried to once again calm Rose down.

"That was the funniest thing I have ever seen Nicky."

"It was all for you Rosie."

"Next dance?" She was hopeful.

"Maybe the one after, I want to go check on Mason, come on big boy."

We left to go check on the baby, he was all over me the second we left the barn. His hands were everywhere, nipples kissed and necks licked.

"If I don't get laid soon I will scream." He whispered in my ear.

"Where have I heard that before." March giggled.

He tried to drag me behind the tractor but I whispered to him that I was edging him, then I ran off towards the house.

"Nicky don't do this to me." I was inside before he could grab me again.

"Shush, they have just all gone to sleep."

"Did he have fun?"

"He did Nicky and March, he is a wonderful little boy."

"Good, then we don't have to worry?"

"No why would you?"

March grabbed me and we left the house, he almost chased me back to the barn.

"Nicky, I am watching you."

"I know March."

I leaped onto the dance floor and grabbed Julie and swirled her around then I did some other familiar faces also.

Back at the table, March was watching intensely.

"Ladies and gentlemen get your legs in the air for some boot scooting."

"This is me," March said.

"No this is us," I answered.

He left me there at the table so I stood up took my shirt off and walked out to join the line right in front of him. The music started and my boot-scooting days with the gay crowd came back. I wiggled, stomped, and my hips went round and round as I gave March a very good show, and some others, well almost everyone at the dance. After adding a few moves of my own I turned and gave March a good look at my jock, he wasn't dancing he was standing still staring at me.

Ron told me later everyone had thoroughly enjoyed the show I was putting on. I took March's hand and walked him back to the table where I replaced my shirt and sat down, he had tears.

"I can't find the words Nicky."

"Hot as hell March, those are the words you are looking for," Rose yelled out.

I kissed him deeply he was stunned into silence, and I made him drink some water before we had a slow dance.

The night was a triumph, I won the best outfit and March still couldn't find the words. We picked our son up, kissed everyone goodbye, thanked Faith and Ethan then drove Rose home.

When we got in bubs was put into his crib then March had me face down on the bed and was dining on my ass. I resisted him a few times but he was adamant I kept everything on.

"I love you so much Nicky."

"I love you too March."

We slept in and bubs was playing in his crib when I woke up. He spotted me and then he started his morning moan, I got up and took him to the back room. My first job was to put the kettle on and then get sonny boy into a dry nappy. I wiped him down and when he was ready I placed him on the floor, he headed for his toys. March headed for me after he kissed bubs, my red jock was revisited by his hands and I leaned back and kissed him. He placed a pillow on the floor and the warm milk into Mason's mouth, he can hold the bottle now so no need for us to do it.

"You are going to exhaust me Nicky, that was so sexy last night."

"All for you my lovely, do you want to slip in now?"

"Oh, my God." He took his time and I leaned right back to give him the best show in town.

Breakfast was egg and bacon rolls on the back porch, bubs had dragged his truck out and was playing with it, now and then a bird would come and sit on the railing. He started making bird sounds along with his moos and chook clucks, he is a quick learner, and between his noises and his giggling, he would look at us and point.

March was mimicking him and I was probably the happiest man in the world, I didn't participate, I sat and watched two of my much-loved boys play.

I got onto the local page and guess who was featured, sneaky photos of my tush were everywhere along with hundreds of others, March was also featured and he got many hearts on each of his pics. I was having too much fun to look at all the costumes but I did take my time with each photo that came up, even reading the comments.

The one of Hank and Jimmy was beautiful, they had even staged a kiss in a few of them. I couldn't help them, they have to do this on their own. If they drift apart I do know they would be the best of friends. I also did know it would break Faith's heart if they did part ways.

He started laughing again, and I think I had made his night, then he got up and started making room for his work shed. Mason crawled up to where he was moving that big sideboard and I grabbed him.

"Do you need a hand March, it's quite heavy."

"Can you pull while I push,"

"I can pull March but you will need to push a little harder." He started laughing again, there is no way he would have another push in him, not just yet.

We were lounging around all day and generally seeing to Mason's needs but we did get a cuddle or two in while we watched a movie.

"Oh by the way Nicky what did you win last night?"

I started giggling and looked him in the eyes.

"Horse riding lessons." He grinned and said.

"Any horse riding lessons will be done by me. I can assure you of that, Mr. Stephenson."

"They did very well last night."

"Yes they certainly did."

Monday came too soon, our days of lovemaking all day on the couch were over until the next weekend. I received a call from Faith to thank me for the show, and could I do something like I did at the next dance, she had requests.

I reassured her that both March and I will wear something sexy.

She talked about the night some, then she told me Hank and Jimmy had a big argument before they went to bed.

"I don't want to be involved Faith, they have to run their race and if it's Hank you are worried about then your suspicions are unfounded, they are a couple. They are trying to make it all work for both of them. The argument would have been about nothing, we do it all the time here, don't you?"

"No Nicky, Ethan never says a bad word to me."

"He wouldn't dare." I started laughing, but I will give her this, she runs a tight ship.

Rose was at work when I got there she was still on a very big high, she loved her night out and can't wait for the next one. I made her promise to come and clean my house the next day and she said it is business as usual, she is only casual at the cafe and May or Wendy will step in if she has to go do a clean. I was happy to hear that, and we talked about the night at length. March and dad were still working on the engines, it's a big job, as I said before car restorers drop their cars with March for him to do the motors, that is the last thing to be done before they sell it or store it.

I texted Tom and asked if he got home ok, and he replied he did, and to tell mum her sandwiches were tops. He also said to expect him in about two weeks he needed another holiday. He had found work at a sausage factory and he gets one weekend off a fortnight.

He asked about the barn dance and I told him it was all over the local page so he should get the whole story from it. March and dad came over for morning tea, he grabbed a pie and dad a salad roll.

"I have to come in and do my workout this afternoon Nicky, do you want to spot me?"

"I can do that with great pleasure, Mr. March." I grinned, he groaned. I think he is fully spent and needs to keep his strength up, I am a handful sometimes.

"How are the cars coming along?"

"Good, dad knows more than what he tells me, we are cruising through them."

"He does March, I guess he had forgotten some of it but the more he works the more he remembers so I hear from mum."

"Nicky he was talking about buying that dealership at the other end of town, what do I do?"

"Stay where you are, I doubt whether he will ever do that but maybe he is only thinking about you."

"Why, I am very happy where I am?"

"With May opening a new venture and mum having her own business maybe he thinks you should move on."

"Well I don't want to Nicky, I don't want him to spend all that money on trying to improve me."

"Well he is probably only thinking about it, finished?"

"Yes thank you Nicky."

"Okay, come with me and show me how you can pump iron."

"I'm too tired Nicky."

"In the gym silly, the gym."

"Oh that, yes let's get to it."

We went over to the gym and he talked to a couple of guys, then I was swiftly shown the back shed.
