Tales from Bentonville, Chapter 79
After learning about the need for additional workers to help hoe weeds out of the bean fields, Dave and Dustin immediately thought about Mike and Brent. They would probably jump at the chance because it was difficult for young kids to get any kind of employment in a small town -- especially if they didn't have a car. On their first break in the morning, Dave called Dane's cell to find out how to get in touch with them. He got Dane's mailbox and left a message.
About an hour later, Dave's phone buzzed in his pocket and he answered just before it began to ring. Dane had just checked his voicemail messages on his break and was calling back.
"I can do better than give you numbers," Dane laughed. "They're here at the pool horsing around in the water. Give me a minute."
Brent and Mike sat together on a lounger with Dane's phone between their heads. The expressions on their faces gave Dane the impression that it was good news.
"Yeah, I'm sure we can," Mike said. "Our parents have been on us to do something constructive this summer, but we aren't old enough to drive... Whoa! That would really be cool; wow, for a whole week? Awesome!"
When they ended the call they shared their good news with Dane.
"Dave said that they need help for at least a week and we can stay in a trailer with them so no one has to haul our skinny asses to the farm and back. Now we have to get the okay from our parents," Brent explained excitedly.
Dane offered his phone again and the younger boys took turns calling their dads at work. It didn't take any arm-twisting to get their fathers to agree to the arrangement.
Mike and Brent got out of the pool, quickly showered, and rode their bikes home to pack. They didn't need to be ready to leave for the farm until after dinner, but they were so eager that they had to get started as soon as possible.
The day went fairly quickly for all concerned. Brent and Mike fussed over what they should take, so they made several calls to Dave's cell phone before they got it all organized. They were nearly too excited to eat dinner. Their parents insisted that each eat with his own family so that they could get advice on hard work and behavior. Both boys had trouble not rolling their eyes. After all, they were 15 years old - not babies!
Dustin and Dave arrived around 7:30 in Dave's car because it was more comfortable than the pickup for four passengers. There was plenty of room in the trunk for their clothes and for the food supplies that their parents had sent along. It looked like they would have plenty to eat.
After putting the perishables away in the trailer, Brent and Mike followed Dave and Dustin up to the farmhouse to meet the Manson's. They already knew Jared from scouts, but not well since he was younger than they were. Mike had gone to middle school in Newton many miles away. Brent hadn't had any classes with Jared either because he was a year ahead of him.
They were a little nervous in the beginning, but Christine soon put them at ease with fresh-baked chocolate cookies and glasses of cold milk. After meeting them, Bob was satisfied that the new boys would work out well, especially since they came highly recommended by Dustin and Dave.
When they got back to the trailer, Dustin showed them their room.
"I hope that you guys don't mind sleeping in the same bed," he grinned. "Dave and I do, but ... you know about us."
"Uh, we don't mind," Brent said a little too eagerly. "We do it a lot."
Then realizing what he had said, he blushed deeply. Dane and Colt had caught them fooling around on the canoeing trip, but no one else knew about that. Well, he thought, these guys probably wouldn't tease them for sleeping together either since there wasn't another bed anyway.
"Just hold the noise down and don't keep us awake. We need to be up around 5:30. I guess you can sleep in until 6:00 because you don't have to help with the milking. You can shower then, if you like, but we usually shower before bedtime to get rid of the sweat and dirt of the day."
Around 9:00, Mike and Brent went to their bedroom. They stood there looking into each other's eyes for a minute. They kissed, gently at first, but then with increasing urgency.
"Are you comfortable with this?" Brent asked.
"Oh, yeah!" Mike replied. "I know for sure now."
The boys had spent their freshman year in high school as best friends, but had kept their hands off of each other's bodies once summer was over. They had tried dating girls to see if that was their thing. They didn't want to give each other false hope in case their sexual play had been simply a passing phase that they would outgrow. They had researched on the `net and found that many, if not all, guys go through a homosexual stage while growing up. They didn't lead any of the girls on either, but they tried kissing and petting. The experience had left both of them feeling empty. The fire wasn't there.
Even in the following spring, they had tried to avoid sexual contact, but without complete success. Mike's dad had questioned why Brent wasn't sleeping over very often. In fact to keep the boys' friendship going, he had invited Brent along on a camping and fishing trip with Mike and him. He had slept in one tent and the two of them in the other. It had proved to be too much temptation for either boy to resist. They had zipped their sleeping bags together and slept naked -- wrestling skin on skin. Actually, they didn't get all that much sleep, but lot of sperm was spilled on that weekend.
Now, alone in the room that they would share for the next several days, they felt each other getting hard as they ground their groins together. It didn't take them long to relieve each other of their clothing. They stood for several minutes with their hardons trapped between them as their tongues explored each other's mouths and their hands caressed each other's butts. The excitement of frontal nude contact was awesome.
Mike pushed Brent back onto the bed covering him with his body as their foreplay continued. Brent cupped Mike's ass cheeks with his hands using them to help rhythmically move their bodies together in what is sometimes called the "Princeton Rub." They began to moan in lust. Their young loins roiled in anticipation of the inevitable climax that was building up. Mike shot first, but Brent followed immediately. Both boys were gasping for air as they slowly came back down from their amazing, sex-induced high. They kept kissing and telling each other how wonderful the experience made them feel.
In the bedroom at the other end of the trailer, Dave and Dustin giggled. They could hear enough to confirm their suspicions about their younger companions. The sounds of sex had stimulated their need for release too. Dave offered his ass, but Dustin said he thought they should suck each other off instead. He reminded Dave of the fact that he had walked a little funny the morning after Dustin had penetrated him with that big dick the last time. Dave insisted that he would be fine, but Dustin said that he couldn't trust himself not to drive like a jack-hammer once he got going. They could save that for a weekend when they didn't have to put in hard labor the next day.
Their foreplay had to be shortened because a good night's sleep was essential for working a full day. However, their need to cum was more pressing than their need for rest at that moment. Since Dave was lighter in weight than Dustin, he took the top position, as he often did, straddling Dustin's head with his knees on either side. Dustin doubled his pillow so that he could reach Dave's balls without stressing his neck muscles.
The guys bathed each other's smooth-shaved balls enjoying the act of giving as well as receiving pleasure. Dustin grasped Dave's butt cheeks to make it easier for him to lick the area toward Dave's rosebud. Dave moaned as he flicked his tongue across Dustin's perineum too. Dustin flinched at the awesome warmth that was flooding his groin. He knew that he wasn't going to last long once his cock was engulfed by Dave's hot, moist mouth.
Simultaneously, the lovers milked a bit of precum from each other's throbbing dicks. They used it to coat the middle fingers on their right hands. That along with saliva made a perfect lubricant. Dustin gently slipped his finger into Dave's upturned chute while Dave did the same thing to him. Then, they swirled their tongues across the steely, but spongy cock-heads that were begging for attention. With a minimum of head-bobbing, each brought the other to a mind-shattering orgasm. They kept their fingers in place until the spasms died completely away.
"Wow!" Dave exclaimed. "That was awesome!"
"Yeah, I loved it too." Dustin responded. "You know that I do like having you rubbing me inside my ass as much as you like me doing it to you. I think we're both tops AND bottoms!"
In a few minutes, the relaxed and satisfied pair was asleep. Mike and Brent were awake longer. Not only were they excited about what the next day would bring, but they also had overheard the sounds of lovemaking coming from the other bedroom.
"Do you think they heard US?" Mike worried.
"Probably," Brent snickered. "I'm sure it doesn't matter if they did!"
Dustin and Dave were awake before the alarm went off. They brushed their teeth and did a quick wash-up before jumping into clean underwear and t-shirts and yesterday's jeans. They downed a quick bowl of cereal before heading toward the barn while still munching on toast.
Jared was not there yet, but the cows were expectantly waiting to be milked. The guys began the process without him because they knew what needed to be done. About halfway through milking time, Jared arrived looking tired and sheepish.
"I'm going to have to eat my words," he admitted. "Remember how I teased you guys the first day about being town boys who were softer than us farmers? Well, I guess I'll have to take that back and then some."
"Hey, all teenagers need their sleep. Of course 6:00 a.m. is pretty late to drag your sorry butt out of bed," Dustin laughed.
Jared pitched in trying to make up for lost time. His main chore was to hand milk the one cow that wasn't completely well yet. The town boys had learned the technique, but were way slower than he was.
The three of them went to make sure that Brent and Mike were up. Those two looked sleepy, but were dressed and getting ready to have breakfast. Jared invited them up to the house for "second breakfast" since his mother wouldn't have it any other way.
Because there was no machinery involved, Bob allowed Jason to work in the fields with the older guys. Jason was really happy to be included. It made him feel more mature, and it gave him a sense of contributing to the family. He had been pouting about his dad's treating him like a baby by saying that he had to go to Grandma's with his sister instead remaining on the farm when his parents left for Minnesota. He was bound to prove how grown up and capable he was!
Jared issued work gloves to the two new farmhands and his younger brother. He was pretty sure that their hands would be raw and bleeding before the day was over if he didn't. Farm labor isn't easy; especially when it's manual labor. Of course, he and the older guys already had well-worn gloves in their possession.
It was fortunate that Christine had also packed the guys a small lunch for their next morning break. The new kids were starving by the time it rolled around. The guys all inhaled the food and also went through a large quantity of cold water.
"If it gets as hot as it's supposed to this afternoon, we can take a dip in the creek," Jared promised. "Come see how deep it is where Jace and I made a dam this spring."
Jason beamed in pride as the other guys complimented them on their handiwork. It was cool that his big bro gave him credit too. Jared could be bossy sometimes, but he really was a pretty nice guy most of the time. Jason always strove to be like him.
"Um, we didn't bring any swimsuits," Mike gulped.
"Nobody wears them out here," Jared laughed. "We always go skinny. I'll find us some old beach towels to dry off with; unless mom has made them into bedding for the dog."
Dave and Dustin gave each other quick, side-long glances. It seemed to them that Jared was at ease with the prospect of them all being naked together. They wondered if this was a change in his comfort level about gays or if he was delighting it teasing the "townies" about skinny dipping.
Their thoughts were interrupted by the arrival of Bob at the edge of the field with the golf cart to take them in for the noon meal.
The afternoon's forecast was for temperatures to exceed even the original predictions. Bob sent the boys out with a fresh supply of water and a variety of snacks in the cooler. He had Jared drive the golf cart back so that they would have transportation immediately if they needed to get out of the heat. He recommended cooling off in the creek periodically and provided some old straw hats and a big tube of #45 sunscreen. The hats and sun lotion came in very handy since the boys had all changed into shorts and elected to go shirtless for the rest of the day.
Around 3:00 o'clock, Jared led the rest down to the creek. He laid the towels out in the shade of a stand of willow trees and began stripping. The other guys followed his example. Jace held back until everyone else was naked. Then, he quickly pulled off his clothes and jumped into the water so that the older guys wouldn't have a chance to see his hairless dick for any length of time. The others, including Jared, had a reasonable growth of pubes. Initially, Jace was shy about being less developed, but he forgot to be once the rest joined him in the water.
The contrast between the cool creek and the hot air left the town boys gasping after they plunged in. Jared and Jace giggled at their reactions. They had done this so many times that it didn't bother them in the least.
Of course, there was the usual horseplay that would be expected when teenaged boys get together in a body of water. Jason was quick to squirt water through his hands to tease the others. He was an expert at it. Perhaps it was from learning to milk. Whatever the reason, he could squeeze his hand accurately to make the stream hit its target -- usually the face of another boy. That led to the "victims" trying to grab him and dunk him. He usually darted away in time by swimming under water. Finally, Dustin managed to catch the kid. With Dave's help, he threw Jace straight up into the air and got out of the way so that he landed on his butt in the water. That form of retribution might have been a mistake on their part since Jace wanted to do it again and again. After several times, Dave and Dustin got tired of the game and went to lie on their towels to dry off.
The boys had a snack and tanked up on water as soon as they were dressed again. They applied more sunscreen to themselves and to each other's backs to avoid burning. The remainder of the afternoon passed rapidly despite the hot conditions. All seemed to have been revived by the fun-time in the creek. As they rode toward the farmhouse in the late afternoon, Jared predicted that his dad would be very pleased by the progress they had made.
In their trailer, the four guys sat down to rest while watching the 6:00 o'clock news. Before it was over, Dustin and Dave arose to start dinner. They got out a big package of ground beef that Christine had given them. She had told them that it didn't cost her much to do it since it was from their own beef. Dave had hated to accept it because he knew that the family was struggling with bills, but he didn't know any way to refuse politely.
Brent and Mike looked longingly at the meat. They were planning to make macaroni and cheese from a box. Dave quickly set things straight.
"If you want to make the macaroni up, I'll make hamburgers on the grill that Bob loaned us. Dustin is going to make a salad and we'll all share everything. I hope this is okay with you," he said looking from face to face.
The younger boys were certain that it would be okay. Their appetites were healthy and they needed a hunk of meat to help assuage them.
Since Dustin and Dave had done the lion's share of cooking, Mike and Brent volunteered to clean up the kitchen and wash the dishes. Dave and Dustin retired to the bathroom to take their shower together. It actually did save water because one could be rinsing off while the other was being soaped up. Most of the time, they were able to stick to the business of getting clean.
Brent and Mike were finishing up their KP duty as the older boys, wearing lounging shorts, joined them.
"You might want to wait a couple of minutes before you shower to let the small water heater recover," Dave advised. "If you shower together, you could have enough warm water to last."
Mike and Brent suddenly became very interested in the pattern of the carpet in the small seating area. Brent raised his head to look at the faces of the other two guys. He was greeted by cheeky grins. He couldn't help smiling too.
"I guess we weren't very quite last night," he snickered.
"Brent!" Mike gasped.
"Oh, come on, Mike, they aren't stupid. I'm sure they've figured us out."
"Oh, Brent, that was so hot! I want to lick you clean!" Dustin said repeating something he had heard coming from the front bedroom the night before.
Mike covered his face with his hands in embarrassment and then began to giggle. It was a cute, musical sound that had a way of infecting everyone present. Pretty soon they were all laughing. The younger two were hyper in their relief of sharing their secret with yet another couple of guys who understood.
"Did Dane and Colt tell you about us?" Brent asked.
"Hell, no," Dave answered. "If they know about you, they haven't shared that with us. You know that we live with them in the winter, but neither of them would ever tell something like that without your okay. They might make some guesses as to who is or isn't gay, but they don't go around spreading gossip.
Brent leaned over and kissed Mike on the mouth. Mike didn't resist. In fact, he put his hand on the back of Brent's head to push their faces more firmly together. Then he stood up pulling Brent with him.
"I think the water is warm enough now. I need to get this stud put to bed early tonight so we don't oversleep in the morning," he said, wiggling his eyebrows.
He had suddenly lost his shyness about their relationship.
The shower that the younger boys took lasted longer than the previous one. When they came out, they looked flushed and relaxed. It was evident that removing the day's sweat and grime wasn't the only mission accomplished.
Dave and Dustin high-fived them as they came into the other room. The kids grinned shyly and said that they were going to bed to sleep so that they would be rested for morning.
The older guys turned off the TV and retired to their room a few minutes later. It had cooled off nicely since they had opened up all of the windows before dinner. They pulled off their shorts and climbed into bed. With a sheet over their naked bodies, they spooned together and fell asleep rapidly.
