Chapter fifty-five

As soon as Harry got home he called the Chief and explained that the rumors circulating around station, rumors about the doc's practice, were probably based on a few disgruntled patients. From what he could see they were running a typical and rather boring practice he argued, flipping the cassettes over and over in his hand. He explained how he did not walk out of a fifteen minute interview with a pocketful of scripts, and "Doc Viagra" as the stories named him, was coming off as squeeky clean. Clean? he smirked to himself, he could not decide who was dirtier, that Kroos bastard or that Smith impostor! And that poor kid, Joel his name? How could he bring this circus tent down around their heads without destroying guys like him, he wondered, listening to the half-awake Chief run down his list of possible responses.

Maybe it took more than one visit? Harry hinted that he might go back if the Chief could hold off a while on his decision. But he assured him over and over again, it was not the "pill mill" they had feared. And Harry -- his voice almost cracking -- assured the Chief there was no evidence for the docs' office being any kind of front for anything illegal or even a bit... unsavory.

"C'mon Chief they even got a couple of high school kids working there, some kind of pre-med intern shit."

"What? Say that again. They got what?"

"Kids. High school kids. They're working there."

"Are you kidding?"

"You think they'd have a bunch of nosy underage kids underfoot if anything shady was goin down there?"

"Who are they?"

"Beats me. You want me to talk to them? They might get suspicious if I start pumping the kids with questions" that word starting his ass itching again. Yeah, pumping is just what those bastards need.

"Maybe you're right" the Chief exhaled "but you're sure -- "

"You tellin me to go back again? But that might -- "

"Okay if ya think -- "

"Well I have to make another appointment just to get my lab tests and I'll let you know if anything weird surfaces then okay?" yeah right after I find out what this is all about, flipping the business card for Mort's Steak House through his fingers. Whoever this jerk is, he better have a way of getting this fuckin chastity ring off my sore dick! And it better not be no fuckin steakknife!

"Just keep me informed."

"I'll keep you informed, sir" and he hung up. Before he lost his nerve he called his cousin,

"Hello Hank? It's Harry -- "

"Don't tell me you're cancelling on the cookout -- "

"Naw that's not why I'm calling."

"What's up?"

"You gonna be up for a while" checking his watch, already after nine.

"Sure. What's up?"

"I'll let you know when I come over."

"I'll chill some beers -- "

"Fifteen" he announced and headed for the door.

His girlfriend looked at him,

"Harry you're not going out again? You look beat!"

"Just over to Hank's for about a half hour. Gotta go over some stuff for the cook-out."

"Well don't let him get you drinking. Remember you have work tomorrow."

"Maybe one but no more okay?" and he was out the door.

He drove to his cousin's trying to figure out how to approach the subject. Without sounding like a total freak. Or worse some world-class pervert. He knew he could not come out with something like "you won't believe what just happened to me!" or anything even close.

So Harry was already on his second beer -- like he would admit it -- before he tried something innocent like,

"You still going to your family doc? Doc Samuels?"

"No why?"

"Which doc do you go to?"

"Haven't needed to. I've been real lucky" he started blushing "on the job you might say."

"So you've not gone to any docs for a while?"

"No why? You okay?" Hank could see that Harry looked a bit of a mess, squirming and fidgeting like he could not get comfortable "anything wrong? You ain't sick are ya?"

"No nothin like that..." Harry looked at the tv "so you never went in to... to doc Reynolds then?"

"No never needed to..." he saw Harry's grip on his bottle tighten "why? Is there a problem there?"

"No nothing serious. Just you might want to try another doc first, that's all?"

"Harry, what's this all about?"

"Nothing, nothing at all. I was just wondering if you heard anything about the place? If you knew anything about him -- "

"Like what?" Hank tried to shift the nervousness "what happened? They overchange ya for a proctoscopy?" he laughed. But then almost choked on his beer when he saw Harry's expression!

"Fuck Hank you DID hear something -- "

"Chill dude no I didn't hear anything... it's just the boss had an exam there and he made some jokes about the doc using this glove up to his elbow -- "

"What??!?!" Harry was out of his chair, not laughing at all.

"Harry it was joke! Y'know how Gus is! He has that sick pervo humor -- "

"C'mon Hank I'm serious here!"

"I can tell..." now Hank was getting worried too, remembering Billy's involvement, fearing he might be involved in something more than unpleasant, maybe even outright sinister if not full blown illegal. For a kid his age, especially if he's still sorting out this whole "sex" thing,, having some perverted things going on there might not be good for him, or them "so you gonna tell me what's got ya all upset?"

"Well let's just say I... ah...." he stood up and was facing away from him "had to get an exam tonight, there... at the doc's... no nothing serious, just some blood pressure problems, y'know how wound up I get sometimes...."

"Yeah?.. and...?"

"And... well... y'know me Hank... I'm getting settled down again, no more playing around like... well, okay? and y'know sure as shit I ain't into any... weird or y'know... kinky shit but -- "

"Something happened? At the doc's?"

"Well... yeah..." all the air rushed out his chest "y'could say that but -- "

"What?"

"Before I say anything more y'gotta promise -- I mean it Hank! ya gotta really swear not t'breathe a word not even syllable one of any of this... okay?"

"C'mon Harry how long have y'known me? If you can't trust me now who can ya?" but Hank saw the whole deck of cards start to crumble down under him. His relationship with Billy. The job with Gus. What he did at Mort's, all of it. He knew he had guilty written all over him.

"Look Harry..." Hank was sweating bullets now, afraid to make eye contact with him "maybe it's better if y'don't tell me what happened okay? Maybe just give me a like super rough sketch and leave out the.. y'know bad stuff, okay?"

"Man I can't believe I'm tellin ya this shit..." Harry sat down, looking far away "but like I said I went there for a typical work-up, y'know? For my high blood pressure I guess right?"

"Damn Harry! Are you okay? Did they find anything wrong?"

"No goddamnit! nothing like that..." Harry's voice started cracking "all I know is the next thing is I'm butt ass naked and they're doing these weird tests on me, y'know... like... shit... like SEX tests -- "

"What?!?!" Hank spun around.

"No godDAMNit don't interrupt or I won't get it out They had me strapped down and this thing on my dick and some... well something up my... y'know ass... and man Hank I'm popping off loads left and right, shit I musta cum maybe a dozen times before I got outa there...and y'know I should report this -- "

"No DON'T!" Hank jumped up "please don't do that!"

"Why?"

"Cause there might be people involved, young, underaged people who might get hurt bad if this all goes down!"

"Suddenly you know about all this? Like you now telling me you know that kids work there?" Harry was looking at his cousin hard, seeing the extreme nervousness "Don't tell me you involved in this Hank?"

"No no, but there are guys at school -- "

"You know Joel?"

This time the beer went up his nose before he choked out, "who? no" but a blind person could tell he was lying like an first-time shoplifter.

"Hank you know something -- "

"Harry please you can't say anything!" Hank grabbed him by the shoulders "promise me you won't say anything until I..."

"You what?"

"I gotta talk to some people I'll get to the bottom of this okay?"

"You know about all this don't you?"

"You don't want our families dragged into this, y'know how our dads are at each other's throats now right?"

"Yeah ever since he lost the business."

"So ya gotta promise me to hold off on this okay? Gimme until this weekend and we'll talk then okay?" Hank started to get up, hoping to get Harry to clear out so he could start making phonecalls. Harry got the cue and returned to his feet, the plastic restraint digging in, reminding him he need to piss. Piss through that? Hell if he'd make a mess of Hank's john this first atttempt. And what did he need to do to get his ass from that constant twitching?

"Okay...Saturday. You got til Saturday that's it."

"No really Harry you gotta trust me on this one okay?"

"Okay... thanks" Harry looked down at himself "man..."

"They really worked ya over huh?"

"You ain't got NO idea" he tried to smile "count your blessings."

"Does it -- do you hurt?"

"Hurt?" Harry let a small laugh escape standing by the door "not hurt, not unless you think having more intense orgasms in one night than most guys have in a lifetime? No I would not say hurt!" my dick my not agree but...

"Well take it easy, I'll call you Saturday okay?"

"Deal..." Harry looked at Hank "I haveta trust you on this shit okay?"

"We gotta trust each other" and gave him a friendly bear hug.

As soon as Harry was gone Hank went for the phone. He had dialed the first few numbers before he realized how late it was, and how bad it would look to be calling Billy at this hour. Fuck! Now what? He felt the noose around his neck tightening and he could see the avalanche starting beneath his feet.

Friday Aug 9

Hank went into work early hoping that Gus was there. Sometimes he would be in the office by seven, doing the paperwork or getting all the materials together. Luckily this was one of those days.

"Hey Hank you awful early -- "

"Gus we gotta talk" Hank was not even through the door, trying to keep himself as together as possible.

"Shit, c'mon if it's about the raise -- "

"No it ain't the raise, that was more than I was expecting" he put his hands down on Gus' desk, hovering a few inches in front of his face "it's about... the... doc's."

"The what?" Gus went back to his papers, hoping Hank could not see his hand start to shake.

"You heard me. I need to know what happened to you on Tuesday. What went down at the docs, Gus?"

"Nothin! I told ya, it was a whole lotta pokin and proddin and that was it!"

"Was Billy there, Gus?"

Gus looked at Hank and his expression went from mild annoyance to panic, then to cockiness, "Billy? You mean the Herm's kid? I thought you hated -- "

"Tell me Gus!" Hank practically grabbed him "was Billy there?"

"Why you care?"

"Because if he was" now Hank did grab him by the shoulders "and if somethin went down at the doc's like what happened at the Herm's place, y'know, sex stuff! and if you are hiding it from me, well a lotta people are gonna get into a pile of trouble, maybe even lose their business... Gus!"

"Are you threatening me?" Gus was getting to his feet, trying to play the boss but there was total panic written all over his face.

"Gus ya gotta tell me what went down okay? Look" he released his hold "I don't care what stuff you're into, and you ain't stupid, ya hadda figure out by now I ain't exactly allergic to all that has been happening okay? So I got a real big idea that Billy's involved in shit way over his head, and c'mon Gus we're both adults but he's a fuckin KID! C'mon Gus you gotta start talkin before we're all go down the crapper... or worse!"

"Yeah... Billy was there... and yeah Billy's involved..." Gus sat down, indicating the chair for Hank to sit down as well "yeah Billy's very very involved" looking for the reaction and seeing it "but I swear if you breathe a word of this..."

"You know I gotta talk with Billy, y'know that... and..." Hank looked around like there were cops hiding behind the furniture "and Gus was there another guy there?"

"Shit how did you know?" Gus was up and coming around the table "Billy told you right?"

"Fuck you nuts? You think he'd tell me shit?"

"Then how did you know about c- I mean the other guy?"

"Was his name Joel?"

"Joel?" Gus tried to keep a poker face "who the fuck is Joel?"

"Wasn't the other guy with Billy named Joel?"

"Fuck no -- "

"Then who was it? Tell me Gus! Tell me before all of this blows up in our faces!"

"Okay okay! But I swear not a word to anyone else okay?"

"Deal!" Hank said, immediately thinking of his cousin. His cousin the cop, "okay what?"

"Well like I told ya, I went in for a check-up, and Billy was there when I walked in -- talk about almost pissin my pants when I saw him -- and he mentions he was workin there, part-time like, and well yeah when I got there he was doing this receptionist thing and then doc had this assistant there named Doc Kruze or something -- "

"Fuck!"

"You tellin me y'know him too?"

"Keep going."

"Well..." Gus lowered his voice "there WAS somebody else there... but shit Hank he was another patient -- and no I cannot tell you who it -- who he was. And his name was not Joel okay? But I shoulda known something was going south when they put us in the same room and we started stripping down and..."

"Both of you? Together?"

"Yeah, but different tables, different parts of the room like. Well do I gotta tell ya all my shit?"

"If ya wanna avoid a grand jury hearing, yeah."

"Fine..." he looked hard at Hank "besides after that Herm's orgy we don't got much secrets do we?"

"No Gus... we don't."

"Fine, I'll make it brief before Ger shows up. We both get stripped down and put on tables and the next thing I know this Kruze guy in fingering my butt, and you probably figured out I go kinda nuts when someone's at my butt, and the next thing I know he has me all turned on... turned ON! in front of c-- I mean in front of this other guy, and fuck I look over and he's also naked watching this, and before I know it he's watching me -- watching us -- "

"You and Billy?" Hank felt his fists ball automatically and was almost getting ready to slam into him.

"No not Billy! Me and... Kruze! We're... I mean it Hank you shut your goddamn face! we're like... doing it! He's fuckin me right in front of... the other guy. But by this point he's strapped down and they have some kinda weird machine strapped to his dick and yeah, a fuckin dildo up his butt too and it's hooked up to this machine like and it looks like they're goddamn torturing this guy! But this meatball is blowing loads like you ain't ever seen outside a porno movie, even a FAKE porno movie! Except it ain't fake! And this guy's so sexed up he... well... he even let me... later... in the shower... it was like nothin NOTHIN you could imagine. I still can't believe -- "

"And Billy? Was he involved in all the sexual -- "

"Fuck no! He's too busy filming -- "

"WHAT!?!?!?!!"

"Yeah! You heard me Hank! The damn kid was playing movie director!"

"You mean like -- FILMING?"

"And drooling over all this and too busy himself you get it? All this stuff is being recorded! And he's right there! Right in the middle of it!"

"Did you get tortured with this machine?"

"Naw just c-- I mean that guy. I got, y'might say, the real thing!"

"What did it look like?"

"I don't know. A box, with wires that went to that weird dildo, and straps around his cock, and there was... something else..."

"What?"

"There's this green shit -- "

"Green???" Hank felt the seam in his shirt start to rip, his muscles were so tense now.

"Yeah, in a tube looking like regular lube, except it has the most fucked up effect on your skin you can imagine. It burns and tickles and stimulates all at the same time. Like spanish fly but like fifteenth generation spanish fly, the graddaddy of all spanish flies, okay? Like maybe for animal use, BIG animals like elephants or gorillas or shit! But I mean NOT for normal people And if you get this stuff on like sensitive places, like your dick or -- "

"Or up your butt right?"

"Yeah..." Gus looked at Hank "you know about this shit? From Billy?"

"Billy never said shit about the doc's!" Hank slammed his fist onto the desk, papers and cups flying to the floor "that's why I gotta hear it from you okay?"

"Hank you shitting?"

"No I ain't shitting!"

"So you really ain't like... with Billy?"

"Where'd you get that fucked up idea?" Hank knew it was all gonna come out, but not here, not like this.

"After Friday I don't know! You said you were gonna 'make it up to him' so I just assumed -- "

"Yeah well your 'assuming's been getting you into a lotta deep shit right?"

"Watch it Hank!"

"Sorry Gus" Hank sat down, his energy spent "so what else?"

"That's pretty much it. This guy and I were put through the ringer, on camera like I said, and now I'm waiting to hear from the doc's. If they don't call today I'm callin them!"

"Okay well maybe -- " and the door opened. Ger came in looking a bit hung-over, dragging butt.

"You two guys startin early?"

"Yeah Ger" Gus said, picking papers off the floor. Hank went to the file room and started acting busy as Gus got Ger squared away, hoping he was still too half-asleep to get suspicious. After fifteen minutes of organizing they finally got out the door and off to the site.

As soon as a break was called, Hank was on the phone to Billy.

"Hello?" Billy answered, lots of noise in the background.

"It's Hank. You busy?"

"Not really."

"Can you talk?" Hank was trying to keep the edge out of his voice, hoping the noise at Billy's end would help.

"Hey! Knock it off!" Billy yelled "no not you, some of the guys are here. Thanks to you and the crew we now have the neighborhood apehouse in my backyard and I've been goin broke trying to feed all these gorillas."

"Billy I gotta talk, y'gonna be around this afternoon?"

"Yeah of course. Y'think I'm goin anywhere with a pool full of big wet six-year-olds?" and Billy was cupping the phone yelling at somebody about something "so what's up You sound upset. We got problems?"

"That's what we gotta talk about okay?" Hank looked at his watch "so in an hour or so? Let's say around one if not before?"

"I'll be here" Billy's voice was lower and not so crazy now "what's up?"

"We can talk then okay?"

"Sure. Deal."

"And Billy, is Joel over there?"

"Joel?" Billy's voice changed as he was taking the phone into another room "which Joel?"

"Joel... I don't know his last name. He's at your school. Football team."

"Shit how you know Joel?" now Billy's voice was cracking.

"Is... he... there?"

"N-n-no..." Billy suddenly saw a dark cloud looming over him. How in the fuck did Hank know about Joel? Did Hank find out about the doc's, or rather the heavy shit going down at the doc's? Where else would he know Joel from? Maybe the Y? Maybe something happened at the Y? "I m-mean maybe he might be.. I mean... he said he might be swinging by... later... why? What's going on Hank?" Billy's voice was all but breaking.

"Chill out guy, you ain't the one in trouble" Hank wanted to make sure Billy didn't freak or split "and I am going to make sure you stay that way, okay bud?"

"What happened? Hank?"

"Nothing Billy. Nothing yet okay? So hang tight til I get there okay?"

"YET? Hank -- "

"Okay? Promise me?"

"Okay..."

"Fine see ya in a few" and Hank hung up. Okay, Billy was aware of Joel's involvement in something, but what? The restaurant shit? No way, Billy would have told him if he knew about that! But Billy wasn't coming clean about all the shit at the doc's either. How deep was he in this?

Billy hung up the phone, a bit spooked, and more than a little nervous. He could hear Hank's voice, and it didn't sound good. Not good at all! At first he thought Hank was pissed at him, maybe about what he'd been doing at the doc's. But then when he mentioned Joel's name! Holy shit! Now he was really weirded out. And with Hank coming over, with all the guys here? Talk about a potential blow-up! Time for some real serious damage control!

He went back outside and quickly found Hank and Jeff. Jeff caught his expression fast,

"What's up? Who was that?"

"I gotta talk with you. You too Hank" Billy was nodding at the kitchen door.

"What's the matter Herms?" Moose boomed from the pool "the Herrers complainin again?" looking over at Mannie.

"Be right back" Billy left Moose and Arnie and Mannie in the pool, let them think it's their skinny-dipping. If they wanna put their trunks back on, fine. If not, got the feeling that's the last thing Hank (okay now Big Hank) will be concerned about. Shit, Billy thought, I shoulda warned "Big" Hank about the guys recognizing him from that damn tape his dad made. Well he was gonna haveta do some fast talking all round. This whole day was unraveling real fast.

He headed into the kitchen and called his mom at work. As he was hoping, her voicemail was already activated, so she was already leaving for her weekend trip with the clients. Okay, she's outa the way, he thought. Next he called his dad's place, as Jeff and Hank came into the kitchen looking a bit sheepish.

"Dad? It's me. No everything's fine, they're sorta, they're kinda behaving" he smiled, looking at Jeff and Hank, signaling them to keep quiet "I just wanted to know when you're coming back -- no everything's fine -- it's just... well" he had to think fast "if you show up and the guys are still here they may wanna see how far they can toss ya in the pool... yeah Moose's been threatenin to dunk ya all day -- oh not til five? Well I'll break it to Moose his fun will haveta wait -- no really that's all -- I know I sound like -- I'm standing here drippin wet shivvering is all okay? See ya" and hung up fast "we got trouble!" he blurted out.

"What happened? Your dad?" Hank looked back and forth "about us in the pool?"

"Shit I wish! That's the least we gotta worry about!"

"Then what?"

"Okay I really need you guys today. I really need your help here! I think I'm in really really big trouble!" Billy sat down and hid his face, he was almost starting to lose it.

"Billy man" Jeff was over to him in a flash "we're your buds! What's wrong?"

Billy did not look up, but they could tell he was not crying, just having a rough time getting the words out, "ya gotta help me... okay? I mean it you two... ya gotta stick by me today okay?"

"Spit it out Billy! What is it?" Hank looked at Jeff "not... the cops...?"

"Fuck no..." Billy raised his head "remember Tuesday?"

"Yeah..." Jeff started slowly "we were all here and things got a bit... over the top... your dad find out?"

"Shit! No! You think that would matter?" Billy looked at them, and they could see the panic in his face "remember the tape? The one Moose made us watch?"

"Well he didn't 'make' us... but yeah..." Hank looked at Jeff "what about it?"

"Remember the guys who were working on the pool?"

"Shit!" Hank said "they're coming back here? They gonna start trouble?"

"No not like that... they're... cool..." Billy looked around "I think. No it's not that. But remember the one guy? The big guy Moose recognized?"

"You mean the Soulman?"

"Yeah... Hank."

"Shit that's right he's Hank too" Hank shrugged his shoulders "what about him?"

"He's coming over. Here. Today!"

"Cool!" Hank smiled "I'd like to meet him..." then he saw Billy's expression "oh... it's not cool?"

"Shit, this is impossible to explain."

"Try us. We're don't shock anymore, remember?"

"Well after that afternoon... we... well... we started... y'know hangin."

"You mean you two...? Like buds?"

"No..." Billy looked at them "I mean like... you and Jeff... THAT kinda 'buds'."

Hank looked at Jeff "shit... you mean... like you two are doin it?"

"Kinda... I don't know I mean, yeah, we're doin it. And he's... shit I'd do anything to keep this goin" Billy hid his face "I mean he's like the hottest guy I ever been... y'know doin stuff with. And I get the idea he thinks I'm the hottest shit since... oh hell!"

"So what's the problem?" Jeff looked at Hank "oh I get it! Duh! You're shittin bricks because what happens when your buds meet your 'bud' and vice versa? Hell I won't say shit and we'll make sure Moose doesn't -- "

"No! mutherFUCKKKK!" Billy tossed a plate against the wall, crash loud enough to bring the neighborhood running "no that's not IT! You don't understand! He was asking about... Joel!"

"Merklins? What about -- "

"If he knows about Joel, he must have heard something about all the shit at the doc's!!! You getting it now? The doc's! you gettin the picture? If he's found out about all our shit at the doc's then that means word's gettin out and now the shit's starting to hit the fan and we're all like totally FUCKED!"

"Chill out Herms!" Hank grabbed him, holding him like a drowning man "it may be anything or nothing okay? Maybe he just met him on the street and... it could be harmless!"

"But he sounded really ticked off, or something."

"Well don't lose it okay?" Hank pulled him to his feet "Jeff and me'll talk to the Moose and make sure he don't cause trouble okay? Same goes for Herrer and y'know Ernie's cool."

"Fine" Billy dunked his head under the sink and toweled off "let's get back out there before they think -- "

"Yeah we can just imagine" and the three slowly sauntered back out, looking very casual and now a bit overdressed, seeing they were the only ones still wearing their t-shirts and cut-offs. Moose saw the huddle and assumed it was something rauchy.

"So you guys getting yer rocks off already?" as he came up for air, hanging onto the side of the pool, trying to look cool, his big arms and shoulders draining onto the blue tiles, not a foot away from Ger's "signature".

"Naw we were just trying to guess how long y'can run around butt ass naked before ya sunburn yer cock" Hank went over to his side of the pool, staying slightly outside his reach. He didn't want to be pulled in again.

"What's up Jenkins?" Moose was trying to shield his eyes, looking up at Hank "you three plotting somethin again?"

"You wish" and before Moose could grab him he pulled the t-shirt over his head and lowered himself into the pool next to him, "but I gotta talk t'ya a sec."

Moose dunked himself and came back up, blowing spit and snot onto the side "so what's the deal?" he looked over at Billy and Jeff going over to Mannie on the other side of the pool. Ern was oblivious, doing laps.

"Remember Tuesday?"

"So what? We're gonna be busted by Joe about that?" Moose lowered his voice as Ern passed them doing a dog paddle "I thought -- "

"Remember the tape you made us -- "

"I didn't make no one -- "

"But you remember the tape right? Of the crew putting in this pool?"

"How could I forget?"

"Remember the Soulman?"

"Shit do I!" Moose looked around "okay Jenkins spit it out."

"You gotta be cool about this okay?"

"Bout what?"

"Well Billy just got off the phone and the Soulman's on the way over -- "

"Here?!?!" Moose stood up fast, his chest and stomach clearing the water making a small tidal wave "here? Soulman's coming over here? Shit you tellin me my lucky number finally hit?"

"Yeah, in a half hour or so. And ya gotta be cool okay? He's Billy's friend, okay? I'll spell it out for ya, ya big ape. Like you and Ern are 'friends' okay?"

"Fuck you!" Moose pushed Hank off-balance nearly dunking him "you've full a shit! He ain't... y'know gay like."

"I'm serious okay? So when he gets here don't give him any shit okay?"

"Man to spend the afternoon with Soulman I'd cut my dick off! I'll be the perfect gentleman" Moose looked at everyone in the pool "ya a fuckin dickless bare ass gentleman!" then Moose got serious "so we gotta get dressed and shit? Billy want us to clear out?"

"No, as a matter of fact, as long as you don't say anything boneheaded, it might be a good idea for us all to be here."

"Why?" Moose looked at Billy fast "he ain't comin here to make trouble? With Billy?"

"Well Billy's kinda upset okay?" Hank looked around "but no I don't think that's it. But just in case stay close okay?"

"Why the fuck's he comin over for then?"

"Remember he and Billy are... buds okay?"

"If you're tryin to bullshit me inta believin they gonna disappear upstairs and screw you must think I'm a completely bonehead Shit the fuckin Soulman!" Moose draped an arm around Hank's shoulder "just between you an me I wish he was... y'know... shit I'd give my right ball to find out for sure... that... y'know.. maaaan the Soulman! Doin it with guys! Fuck, I'd fuckin pay money to see him stripped down -- "

"Like they paid money to see you peel y'mean?"

"Fuck okay!" Moose dunked him good "don't fuckin remind me... but yeah" Moose leaned over the pool's edge again "payin money for a punk like me... that's fuckin totally lame, but the Soulman... shit! He's the fuckin A-one prime beef stud!"

"Well don't spook him okay?" Hank came in real close "now don't say anything or look at Billy right now... but one of the reasons we're thinkin he's coming over here -- I mean it Moose don't look or say word one! -- is Billy's freakin cause Hank -- Soulman -- maybe found out about..." whispering "the doc's."

WH-- what?" Moose caught himself, and kept his eyes on Hank "did you say the doc's?"

"I mean it Moose you gotta totally chill. We're thinkin Soulman found out somehow about what's been goin down at the doc's -- maybe what happened with you okay? maybe the experiments he's been doing --"

"What 'experiments'?"

"Just be cool Moose I mean it" Hank started to get out of the pool "but if we -- you -- all of us have a little talk with Soulman today, we might just start getting to the bottom of all this shit, it might maybe explain a lotta the weird shit been goin down okay?"

"Fuck..." Moose dunked himself again, coming up rubbing his face trying not to look at Billy.

"So don't do anything boneheaded okay?"

"Fuck... yeah" and he dove to the bottom of the pool. He stayed down there a while trying to digest all of this. Just when he thought things were finally easing up, another runaway truck comes down the highway! He and Ern were getting to the point that they were comfortable with what was happening between them, but they both knew they were playing with fire. If it got out, if any of this shit got out, they'd all have to pack up and move to Siberia! Ern was too overwhelmed with just being around his hero, the Moose, that he was not thinking straight. Several times Moose had to remind him to chill out when they were tooling around. But after Tuesday Ern was getting a different kind of nervous, and Moose had to do a bit of damage control with him, explain that he was not always the sex-crazed monster Ern saw that afternoon. It took the rest of the evening for Moose to convince Ern he was still very much in the picture and Moose was not going to eat him for breakfast, or worse! toss him away like used toilet paper for that matter. But since Tuesday Ern was being super careful around the big guy, and Moose was trying to scale back a bit on his wild side, but shit! the Soulman was on the way over here! Moose's first reaction was to get into his best clothes and try to play the big normal straight dumb jock but... after seeing him on that tape! Shit, he would have headbutted a tank just to be hiding in the bushes that day! And now he's gonna be showing up? But from how Hank was telling it, he might be lookin to bust heads! Billy's head for starters! He remembered how pissed he was that afternoon he stormed over here, and even now Billy appeared to be holding all lot of stuff back. Moose knew all too well now about keeping the details out of the spotlight, keeping some of the cards off the table like. At the same time maybe just maybe, if everyone stuck to the script, if everyone stayed cool, this might be one very revealing afternoon!

He came up for air right in front of Ern, stopping him mid-lap,

"Hey bud!" he grabbed him "save some for the olympics okay?"

"Hey!" Ern blew water in his face "I was just about to finish a half-mile!"

"Bonehead didn't they tell ya you're a crapper not a fish?"

"Yeah but I gotta start getting back in shape" he wiped the water out of his eyes "and next week's camp already!"

"Don't remind me" Moose looked at himself "like I'm gonna lose twenty pounds by next Monday..."

"So do some laps with me" and he started to dive under but Moose stopped him, "hey!"

"I gotta talk first."

"Uh oh..."

"Listen will ya? Jeff tell ya who's coming over?"

"No?" he looked at Moose like he had a few screws loose "I'm swimming remember?" he looked around and saw how the mood in the backyard had changed from buttheads-on-break to team-rally-time, "who?"

"The Soulman Express in about to make an unscheduled stop -- "

"Soulman?" he looked at Moose "who?"

"Y'got water on the brain?" Moose gave him a friendly shaking "Don't you remember? Tuesday? The guy on the tape up in Billy's room?"

"Oh yeah, that guy on Billy's dad's tape, he useta be a big wrestler?"

"Not A big wrestler, THE big wrestler okay? We're talkin bout THE Soulman okay?"

"Sorry but there's only one The Big Wrestler okay?" Ern looked down at the bottom of the pool "and he's tryin to drown me."

"Yeah well you're a bonehead!" Moose laughed and dunked him. When he came back up Moose continued "seriously, this guy is..."

"You really all freaked over that guy -- " Ern knew what was coming.

"Ern gimme a break, this guy's like been my huge, shit bigger'n huge hero since I was little. I remember seeing him wrestle and I was just a little punk... smaller than you!"

"Fuck you Moosemeat!" Ern tried to grapple and topple him but it was more comic than anything.

"Okay y'gotta know I ain't ever expected to meet him... especially like.. this okay?" Moose locked eyes with him "and there's no fuckin way anything might go down but if it does you gonna be helpin me out! please?"

Ern stopped jumping around and got real quiet, " What y'mean 'go down'? Moose?"

"Ern we're buds... we'll always be buds... but if something happens remember I'm here to defend ya okay?"

"You mean it might get... violent?"

"Fuck if I know. I don't know what's bringin him over, like now. Today! It might be nothin but I think he knows about all that shit with the docs -- no don't say nothin okay?"

"Shit we gotta leave!"

"We can't cause Billy's our teammate remember?"

"Okay... yeah you're right."

"And I don't think he's like gunnin for Billy okay?"

"Who then? Not YOU?"

"Remember the tape? Billy had them all doin sex shit back here -- well maybe not the Soulman -- oh fuck I don't know, all I know is that Billy and Soulman... like they... got... an understanding."

"Understanding?"

"Shit... just... well. oh fuck! Like don't listen to me okay?" Moose dunked himself "I been living on Planet Sex too long -- nothin's gonna happen just forget I said anything! I got chlorine on the brain!" and he started for the railing.

Ern caught up with him and said real quiet "you tryin to tell me he's coming over here... for like... sex things?"

"I don't fuckin KNOW!"

"You tellin me you think your hero is all a sudden...?"

"I wish -- "

"Damn... you sayin you're gonna try to get -- "

"Will you listen to me!!!" he grabbed Ern a bit too violently and he could actually hear everyone turn in their direction "all I know is he's coming over here and don't say shit to make Billy even more upset than he is okay?"

"It's cool Moose, I think I understand. If anything well..." he looked away, trying to hide the concern? fear? hurt? but then shrugged and socked him in the side "just maybe just lemme watch okay?"

"You're a sick fuck!" and Moose yanked him up and out of the pool.

"Yeah it's why I hope ya still like me."

Mannie had been goofing around with Moose in the pool when the other threesome came back outside. He could tell by the looks on their faces that something was about to go down. When Hank cornered Moose Mannie got up on the side of the pool as Jeff came around to meet him. He wrapped a towel around himself, not real concerned about what was showing in the wet lycra trunks. Shit, the only window looking over the high fence was his own, next door. And it wasn't like anyone dared braving the pigsty that was his crib.

So it wasn't like he needed to be shy or anything.

He saw Jeff give him that serious look but was having none of it. Whatever the three were plotting in the kitchen they would have to do it without him.

He waved Jeff away,

"Don't tell me I don't wanna know."

"C'mon Mannie -- "

"I'm gonna find me a chair and work on my tan got it? Don't bother me Walker!"

He finished drying off and found a chair, throwing the towel over it and before anyone could say boo, he pulled down his wet trunks and plopped his butt down, quickly speading a coating of suntan lotion over his brown flesh, especially below the waistline. He was trying to go for a "all-over" tan effect, but the last time he was naked under the sun, he was maybe seven. It would take more than an afternoon to even it out, but he was not gonna waste this sunny day. At first he felt like a total asshole going naked around his buds, knowing how they felt about all this guy shit and hey what if they get the wrong idea, but he made himself get over it fast, remembering how they'd seen each other naked so many times it was almost laughable. So when he started to rub the lotion into his balls and cock, his apprehension was replaced by pure animal pleasure more than he would admit, but fuck, like he was past the point of caring. As far as he was concerned, if any of them wanted to swing on his dick, that was fine, but tonight was another date with Tina and he was gonna save her some no matter what. He lay back, feeling the sun start to cook his flesh, thinking, it don't get better than this!

So it took maybe a minute before Jeff came over and blocked his light.

"What you want Walker cause yer makin shadows" without bothering to open his eyes.

"You gonna lie there naked then?"

"Billy ain't complainin."

"We're getting company."

"So?" unless it was the cops or any of his female relatives, he did not give a fuck.

"So just givin ya word, that's all" Jeff sat down next to him, already starting to sweat.

"Billy's dad?"

"No...worse."

"Like how worse?"

"Like one of those guys from that tape -- "

"Tape?" Mannie just lay there, sliding some of the sweat off his chest "tape??" and his eyes flew open.

"Remember Wednesday with Juan?"

"Ya gonna throw that in my face?"

"Remember Juan's friends? the guys puttin the pool in? Like Gus?"

"What's this Gus gotta do with what went down Wednesday?"

"You know Billy's camera's been showin up at all the worst times -- "

"So there's a tape of them putting in this pool, big deal."

"Let's say one of Gus' men in a tape... when they were finishing the pool, well if he knew he had been filmed he'd be real sore and if anybody stood in the way of getting it back --."

"He comin to take the tape?"

"Ain't you listening Herrer? He don't know about the tape and you ain't gonna be tellin him, got it?"

"Shit Iain't a part of this -- "

"Mannie after all that's been happening especially Wednesday you are just as much a part of this as any of us, don't gimme that shit. But we gotta be on damage control cause this guy maybe found out about the doc's -- "

"What!?!" Mannie levitated out of the chair"he found out WHAT?"

"What's been goin down at the doc's and he wants some answers."

"Fuck I'm outa here" Mannie was on his feet and spinning to go, but Jeff grabbed him by the arm "sit down and shut up!"

"Lemme go, Walker I don't want no part -- "

"You're just as deep in this as all of us remember?" Jeff held him tight "and now one of us may be in big shit so we stick together, we're a team, remember?"

Mannie pulled away, and found his trunks. He pulled them on but made no move to leave, "you think it's all goin down?"

"Not if you play it cool got it?"

"Shit..." he threw himself back into the chair "I just wanted to wrestle..."

"We all did, we all do! and that's why we gotta get through this okay?"

"Yeah why me?"

"Because you're such a fuckin stud is why" and Jeff looked at him cross-eyed then smiled and sat back down "so just hang loose and follow Billy's lead okay?"

"You think this guy's gonna pull a gun or shit?"

"Manito he ain't no gangbanger like you! In fact he and Billy..."

"He and Billy what?" Mannie looked over at Billy sitting at the poolside.

"Let's just say they got to be real good buds after that day with the tape okay?"

"You mean like... they doin it?" Mannie looked at Jeff "what's all this shit? Suddenly everybody I know into gay shit?"

"Yeah Mannie the entire world gone homo except you okay?"

"Shit..." but he just lay back, making sure the towel was covering his trunks, like he just got religion.

After a while Mannie's cool began to broil and he jumped back into the pool, an oil slick of suntan lotion spreading behind him. It collided with the one from Hank and Ern and formed a shiny smear that raced to the filters. Moose decided he wanted to stay in the pool, "laying low" as he put it. Billy and Jeff had moved to the lounge chairs, so they were the first to hear the footsteps come up the driveway.

Billy jumped up, hoping to intercept Big Hank before he made it all the way, but by the time he was on his feet and heading for the driveway, Big Hank had already come around the corner, his eyes taking in the whole group.

"Hey Hank what's up?" Billy was happy as always to see him, at the same time sweating bullets. Then he took in the fact that Big Hank was carrying several bags of groceries.

"You said it was feeding time so I brought some stuff for grilling. You think your folks would -- "

"Food? Why'd ya bring food? I thought y'wanted t'talk?" Billy was trying to steer him away from the group, towards the kitchen door. But Jeff was coming forward to meet them,

"Hey" he held out his hand "the name's Jeff. You a friend of Billy's?"

"Hey" Big Hank shook hands "Hank, how'zit goin. Yeah, you could say we're friends."

"Glad to meet ya" Jeff waved to the rest of the group "that guy standing over there is Hank, Hank also" he laughed looking at Billy oddly "and those guys in the pool are, the red-head is Ern, the mexican's Mannie, and the big moose is, well that's Moose" he looked back at Billy "you need help with all that stuff?"

"Naw we're fine" Billy grabbed a bag "let's get this stuff in the frig" and giving Jeff a very unsubtle look directed Big Hank to the kitchen door and inside.

Jeff went over to Hank and the crew in the pool,

"Well the much-feared Soulman has finally arrived" he announced, stating the obvious.

"What was all that shit he bringing?" Ern looked at Jeff then at the Moose "I thought he was coming over to start a riot or somethin."

"He seems friendly" Jeff looked at Hank "so far. But if they ain't back out here in five minutes the marines're goin in okay?"

"Deal" Hank sat back down, pointing at the chair next to him "you're making ME nervous now" and almost pulled Jeff down into the seat next to him. The other three continued to splash aimlessly around the pool.

Inside Billy set down the bag and started to unpack it, careful to keep the table between Hank and himself. He was visibly shaking when Hank came around and grabbed him.

"Wait!" Billy tried to pull away, thinking he was gonna get decked, when Hank pulled his head forward and kissed him hard.

"Fuck..." Billy finally broke the contact "that was not what I expected" then kissed him back, keeping one eye on the back door.

"What were you expecting?" Hank followed Billy's glance to the door "they cool I hope?"

"Shit Hank..." Billy stood looking at the bag of hamburger buns in his hand, suspended in mid-air "when you called... before -- "

"You thought what? You were in trouble? with me?"

"That's putting it real mildly" the bag stayed suspended, Billy too spooked to move.

"We gotta talk bud" he looked over his shoulder at the group outside "upstairs?"

"No!" Billy dropped the bag to the floor "no -- I mean -- we better put this stuff away and get back outside before -- "

"Before what?" Hank stopped pulling things out of his bag onto the table and stood there, trying to figure out Billy's expression.

"Before they charge in here, breaking up the fight."

"They think... that? That I'm here to mess you up?"

"In a word, yeah."

"Why? They have no idea who --"

"They know you Hank. They know you are -- were -- are the Soulman -- "

"How?"

"We're all wrestlers here remember? Some of us know our history, like the Moose out there. He's like your biggest freakin fan Hank! He almost pissed his pants when he saw -- I mean when he heard --"

"Saw? saw what?" Hank looked at Billy then outside and back.

"I mean they heard about you doin the work and all -- with the pool -- "

"What else?" Hank came around the table again, and Billy could see the hard look in his eyes.

"Hank... we gotta get outside okay? Before they come looking for us."

"Billy I hope to god you ain't settin me up here -- "

"Hank y'gotta trust me -- trust all of us okay?"

"What y'mean 'us'?"

"Hank like you said, we gotta talk, ALL of us gotta talk okay?"

"Okay but first tell them we're cool here and we'll be upstairs -- "

"We don't have to go upstairs" Billy held his arms, in part so they could not take a swing "the guys... all.. know."

"Know? Know about what? ... us?"

"Us...the doc's -- no don't blow up -- this is what -- they -- the guys out there -- more -- they -- we -- been put through the wringer at the doc's too, okay?"

"What?" Hank looked outside "what are you saying?"

"Let's go outside" Billy looked out the window and could see Hank and Jeff already on their feet heading for the house "we -- all of us -- can sort out all this shit, out there. No more time for secrets anymore okay?"

"You shittin me, right?" Big Hank was not sure he wanted his whole story spilled in front of all those strangers, kids for all purposes.

"It's cool. You came here for some answers right?"

"Billy I can't believe you're tellin me they all know? What'd you tell them?" Hank pulled away, still debating making a hasty exit.

"C'mon Hank" and headed for the door just as the other Hank came in. Billy saw Big Hank's expression shift to casual-benign fast!

"Hank meet Hank, okay I mean -- "

"Call me Peeper if ya want" Hank again held out his hand "and I guess we're gonna have to call you either Big Hank or Soulman" he brought his other hand up ad grabbed his shoulder "man you must be doing some heavy work these days" he waited to see if Big Hank would tense under his hand but no "you workin out or -- "

"It's the job" Big Hank looked at Billy "I'm guessin Billy told y'all about that pool."

"Fine job" Hank looked at the table "maybe I can twist my dad's arm into getting a pool. So what's with all the food?" he looked at Billy.

"Hank gimme a hand puttin this stuff away" Billy was dumping things out of the bags onto the table. At that moment Jeff came in,

"Everything cool?" he looked at Hank then to Big Hank, at last to Billy who seemed too preoccupied to be nervous.

"Why shouldn't it be?" Big Hank looked at Jeff "and you're -- "

"Jeff remember?" he shook hands again, just to feel the amazing grip "so you and Billy're --"

"Gettin things square."

"Glad to see everyone's a... bud" he put just the slightest stress on the last word, coming up behind Hank and putting his arm around his shoulder.

"Yeah... y'could say that" Big Hank saw the physical contact between them "guess you both... 185?"

"Me for sure" Hank gulped, then looked at Jeff "Jeff here if he puts away some of those burgers" and gave him a arm hold around Jeff's neck.

"You both... seniors?" Big Hank knew Billy was not so it seemed odd he would be spending so much time hanging out with upperclassmen, team or not.

"I'm gonna be a junior with Billy" Jeff eased out of the grip and started putting the meats and salads in the frig, inhaling some pretzels in the process "Hank here's the old man."

"So that makes me -- " Big Hank almost cracked a smile.

"Just this side of fucking school legend is what" Hank finished throwing some pop into the frig, his back to Big Hank "so if everything's cool here I'm heading back outside. Jeff?"

"Yeah me too" he said, heading for the door, both hands full of bags of chips.

Billy looked around, seeing most of the perishables were put away, "we gotta get back outside before Moose -- "

"Next y'gonna tell me those two guys... y'know?"

"Yeah they're... buds" Billy tossed the empty bags into the garbage "you cool with that?"

"Billy" Hank grabbed him "what you think?"

"Yesterday I could tell ya. Today? Shit if I know. Now before Moose -- "

"Yeah who is that guy?" Big Hank threw the buns and rolls into a pile "he a wrestler too?"

"Mark 'the Moose' Muscowski" Billy was steering Big Hank towards the door right where Jeff was about to come back in "and don't call him Mark. He hates that!"

"He's a big dude."

"265 or Unlimited, depending on what buffets he's burned through" Billy was the last one out the door. The first three headed back towards the pool, where Moose and Mannie were hanging out in the shallow end while Ern was doing something like laps between them. As soon as they saw the group steering Big Hank towards the pool area, their goofing around came to a sudden halt.

"So what's the story?" Moose came over to their side of the pool and hung on the edge.

"Hank you comin in?" Ern stopped and looked at Hank, trying to figure out whether to stay put or what. Before Hank could answer Big Hank said,

"Billy you mind?" and he pulled his polo shirt over his head "you know I've still not been in the pool yet."

"And it is your pool" Billy watched as Big Hank tossed his shirt onto a chair, aware that everyone had stopped what they were doing, and were slowly turning towards Big Hank trying not to stare, but Big Hank knew all eyes were on him stripping down. Billy always thought that Big Hank's relative hairlessness made him look more muscular than Moose, but it was the first -- and maybe last -- time he could see them both at the same time, and shit it was a close match! Damn, I don't want ever want those two to come to blows, he thought, they'd kill each other before we had time to break it up. Shit it would take the whole school to pull them apart! Just as Big Hank sat down to get at his shoes and socks, he saw Moose pull himself out of the pool. Shit! he forgot that Moose was skinny-dipping!

Moose stood there a second, letting the water sheet off his hairy torso, his nakedness both casual and pointed at once. Without even finding a towel he headed over towards Big Hank. Everyone held their breath as the two giants were set to collide.

"I'm... Mark" Moose came up to him, water splattering everywhere as he held out his hand "but everyone calls me -- "

"Moose right?" Big Hank looked up from his shoes, his eyes traveling up his massive thighs, to the shaved crotch, and up the hairy chest to his face, seeing no hostility there, but rather shock? fear?

"You know me?" and they shook hands, a collective sigh escaping just about everyone "what'd Billy say?" Moose's hands started to tremble and Big Hank felt him pull away from their grip fast.

"Only that you can't decide if you're going for 265 or Unlimited" Hank's face was even with his crotch "but it looks like you could... go either way" Hank waited for the reaction.

Instead Moose just stood there, struggling for words. After a long frozen moment, Big Hank said to his crotch,

"And I hear that you know who 'I' am."

"All State three years. five and oh, six and two, five and one. You were the only guy to pin Marchessi on this whole g-d planet! You would have wrestled for State except you tore your rotator cuff against that asshole Stibbens in your last match. You had a scholarship and everything, you were taking off like a goddamn rocket! shit you woulda gone on to the Olympics probably, at least Velchevich at State thought so" Moose was almost starting to shake, his chest heaving with the excitement "and fuck I just shook hands with the Soulman... shit! Yeah Hank I know who you are. I been following you since your fist match against South when you were still a Soph -- "

"Man you really do -- "

"Yeah I know everything about you" Moose looked down at the wet tiles "or I used to."

"Say again?"

"I mean... I know everything about your wrestling career" Moose looked at Billy "that's all I mean, but once you left wrestling..."

"You really are the big fan Billy said -- "

"And more. Man, when Billy said you were... y'know... here, I coulda creamed my jeans--" Moose exploded a beet red.

"If ya were wearin' them y'mean?" but Big Hank showed a cautious smile. Seeing Moose's nervousness he slowly got to his feet, "so you bet you never thought you'd see me like... this" he unbuckled his pants and let them drop to the ground. He stood there wearing his white boxers, catching Moose's quick glance to his crotch. Before Moose stopped breathing Big Hank kicked outa his pants and started to dig his thumbs under the waistband, "Billy you mind if I take a dip in the pool like this?"

"Ah... gee... shit Hank..." Billy was looking around, seeing several faces turn to him fast "fuck no."

"I don't have any trunks" he was starting to edge the shorts down to his pubes "you think I could just wear these? I don't wanna shock your buds."

"Hank... man...wear them, don' wear them, up t'you" Billy was looking around the yard, seeing everyone frozen in place, the oxygen sucked out of them.

"Soulman..." Moose's eyes were glued to Big Hank's front "you'd look fuckin... awesome man... whatever" and he turned away, not ready to have Big Hank see the beginning of his reaction.

"Billy maybe I better stay covered up in case..." he stood with his thumbs hooked into the waistband, pulling it forward a bit.

"Hank it's your call" Billy looked at Moose, who was turning towards the pool, not able to get back in soon enough. He saw Jeff slide from his chair and walk over to the far side of the pool. Hank sat there, trying not to stare, but it was a superhuman effort.

"Maybe we better get t'know each other better" and just like that he gave the shorts a sharp snap, the waistband slapping his belly. Billy and Hank both could be heard taking a loud breath.

Before anyone said another word Big Hank walked the four steps to the pool and jumped in. By that time Moose had slid into the water and was hiding at the bottom somewhere. Ern and Mannie were staring openly.

Big Hank surfaced, blowing water high into the air,

"Damn Billy didn't Juan show you how to adjust the heat on this muther?"

"Juan?" Mannie could not help himself "damn I forgot you know Juan?"

Big Hank swam a few strokes over to him and came to a stop right in front of him,

"I know you, don't I?"

"Mannie. Mannie Herrer" he held out his hand, but instead of shaking it Big Hank put both hands on the side of the pool, trapping Mannie between them. Their bellies were close enough that the occasion wave caused a bump or two. Neither one was relishing the contact.

"Yeah I remember you" Big Hank came in close, suckin in his gut, throwing out his chest "you were at the Y last Friday right?" he held Mannie in his gaze, more intimidating than if he actually grabbed him, "with some other guys right?"

Mannie looked at Moose then at Billy, knowing it was gonna go down. Now.

"Maybe... why?"

"You know that Joel guy don't you?" Big Hank was not moving a muscle, but the effect was perfect. Mannie was trying not to show fear but Big Hank was close enough to see his eyes betray his panic. Big time!

Before something happened Billy said, "c'mon Hank we all do. He's in school with us okay?"

"What was your buddy talkin to him about, that night" but Big Hank did not turn "in the weight room and he almost had to break up a fight between you and your 'friend' Joel, remember?"

"Yeah I remember real good" Mannie looked around "I remember you doin yer free weights, I remember you ready to break up the fight almost went down. I remember..." he looked down at Big Hank's lower torso "that too."

"C'mon Herrer don't start anything" from Ern somewhere off to the side. Moose had surfaced and was wading his way over behind Big Hank, hoping to get close enough in case they started throwing punches or something even more stupid.

"Maybe you better explain what we're talking about to your buds here" Big Hank said, still not giving Mannie any space, feeling the wake of someone come up behind him. He knew they were not dumb enough to jump him, but he shot Billy a glance in spite of himself. The last thing he wanted was to make trouble for Billy but he was determined now, now that he was starting to get some vibes from Billy's friends.

"Yeah right" Mannie caught Moose coming up behind Big Hank "you really want these guys to hear about -- "

"Now you reading me dude. That's exactly what I want... Mannie" Big Hank lowered his voice, not threatening, almost calming, "go ahead."

"What so you can mess me up?"

"I ain't gonna mess with you" Big Hank shot another glance back at Billy "we're all Billy's friends here and no one's here to get anyone in trouble, especially me" he took his hands off the pool side raising them in the air, giving Mannie some breathing room "explain it to them."

"What the Soulman here's talkin about" Mannie spashed some water in his face, disguising his nervousness "is me and Jorge are chillin at the Y mindin our business like, and we run into a pack of fuckin Minnows, that's the -- "

"I know what the Minnows are" Big Hank backed up, bouncing into Moose slightly. Without turning he said "go on."

"Yeah and when we got there, the Soulman here's jus showin up in the locker room, and fuck...then we're working the weights like I said. And still he's..." Mannie looked at Billy and then at Big Hank "well ever since he GOT there... like the whole fuckin time... he's..."

"I'm what?"

"You really don't want me sayin -- "

"Oh yeah Mannie, I DO want! say it!"

"Shit! Like the dude's ...boned since he walk in the fuckin door! We tryin not to to look in the locker room like..."

"But you couldn't keep your eyes off his meat right?"

"Fuck you Moose!"

"Like I could" Moose said under his breath, but when he saw Big Hank half-turn he muttered "fuck".

"Yeah Mannie here's not bullshitting, I'm hard as a rock, harder than I've ever been in my fuckin life okay?" Big Hank looked at Billy "remember I told ya I hadda go somewhere when I left here? Well I had to get cleaned up somewhere so I went to the Y" looking back at Mannie "but you could see I was wearing a cockring around my goods" he saw Mannie's reaction "didn't know you were making such a big deal of 'not' looking--"

"Like we -- I -- could help it! Shit you all boned up, strolling around the place like you on parade or shit -- "

"Mannie you shit, you tellin us you were just watching Soulman here naked? Hard naked?" Moose was trying to back away from Big Hank's butt, knowing it was a matter of time before he could feel his own hardening cock start bumping into Hank's butt "you lying piece of shit!"

"He said it himself!" Mannie was sidestepping away from Big Hank "he come into the locker room, stripped down, he's solid boned hard, he gets dressed and works out, still he's boned hard! he comes back to the locker room, he's still mutcherfuckin hard!--"

"So then you seein everything...tell them the rest Mr Big Detective" Big Hank was watching Billy's reaction now "tell'm what happened next!"

"Oh y'mean like when those two Minnows came at ya in the locker room?"

"What?" from several voices at once.

"Keep goin..." Big Hank looked around to make sure everyone was going to shut up enought to take in the next part.

"You sure?"

"Real sure. Tell them what happened in the locker room."

"C'mon Hank, maybe you an me and Mannie can sort this out by ourselves. You don't -- "

"No I want them to hear this part, no more secrets Billy I want everyone to get the picture now. Tell your story Mister Dick."

"Well Soulman here's trying to cool off after his workout and me and Jorge trying to get outa there before this -- the Minnows -- "

"Which ones?" from Hank, seeing Billy come over and stand next to the pool.

"Yeah it was Joel and Ted and some others, but it's those two that come slidin into the locker room looking like a coupla dogs tongues all waggin! Well Joel and Ted get real friendly with Soulman here -- "

"So you DON'T know Joel from the docs" Billy blurted out to Big Hank, still trying to deflect this before it gets bad.

"We're gettin to that" Big Hank looked up to Billy and then back to Mannie "so tell'm what happened in the locker room."

Why? Somethin happened besides you make a big show for those two, stripping outa yer stuff in front of them, and shit you shoulda seen their faces! I didn't know what was gonna happen first! if their eyes gonna bug outa their heads or their dicks gonna pop outa their shorts! Man I saw that and I just hadda get the fuck outa there! It took me a good half-hour in the showers to get that picture outa my head!" he looked around like it was the funniest thing he could say but everyone was real serious. Even Ern looked a bit concerned. Finally Moose broke the silence,

"Hell Mannie you know a lotta guys would had the same reaction as those two" as Big Hank turned around and looked at him to see if he was joking. He wasn't "man seeing the Soullman like that I woulda fuckin saw stars!"

"Man..." Big Hank looked at Moose, seeing the hard look in his eyes, then turned back to Mannie "so you tellin me you had no part in what went down?"

"Say wha?"

"You were not part of what Joel did? His fuckin stunt? You tellin me you all innocent then?"

"What stunt? What did that asshole minnow do?" Mannie looked at Billy, knowing the two of then were on friendly terms.

"Hank what happened?" Billy crouched down, hoping Big Hank might lower his voice a bit.

"Billy why don't you make a phone call. I think I want this Joel guy here and if Mannie here ain''t gonna tell you then I want you to hear it from Joel's own lips. He can try explainin it to ALL of us. Shit I wanna see his face when he tries that" Big Hank backed up a bit more, now that he was through sticking it to Mannie. He waded back into Moose and what he felt hit him in the right cheek was unmistakable.

"Sorry" Moose tried to back away, totally busted.

"Hey always happy to bump... into a big fan" Big Hank looked back to Billy again "go make that call. Tell him to get his ass over here fast if he knows what's good for him -- "

"Isn't he at work now?" from Jeff, hoping to avoid the confrontation coming.

"I'm callin him there" Billy headed for the kitchen, like he was a missile zeroing in on the target. When he got inside he had to grab the counter, he was so, pissed? freaked? scared? What did Joel do? To his man? If it was something bad he swore he would see him cut his balls off, the lying two-faced asshole! He'd go to Kroos, to the cops, whatever it took! Then he heard a voice in his head saying, don't forget if you bring him down, everyone goes down. So he took a few deep breaths before he called the landscaping place, wishing he could have just called him on his cell but this was not the time to dig around to find the number. The office put the call through and after a few clicks he heard a windy,

"Hello?"

"Joel it's Billy."

"Billy took ya long enough. So y'made it outa there in piece huh? I thought you'd call as soon as--"

"How late you workin today?" looking at the clock, coming up on two.

"Til three-thirty or so, why?"

"You maybe wanna finish early today? Like now?"

"Can wait to talk about last night huh? Did you SEE that--"

"Joel we gotta talk... while you still can... bud. You got some explaining to do. We got a little problem here...bud."

"What?" then a quieter voice as Joel cupped his hands around the phone "somethin wrong?"

"Yeah somethin's wrong all right!" Billy almost started screaming into the phone "I'm thinkin there's major damage control we gotta -- YOU gotta do -- before all this hits the fan is what's wrong! Big-- I mean Moose is here and he's threatening to -- "

"Moose? There now?"

"Yeah so unless you get your ass over here in the next fifteen minutes, all of our dads might be visiting us in jail -- "

"JAIL!?!?! What HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?!?!?"

"He's ready to go postal Joel. I think somebody recognized him or something -- "

"I'll tell them I got an emergency -- "

"Yeah Joel you f'sure got yourself an emergency."

"Okay, I'm on my way!" and he hung up. Billy stood there a second waiting to calm down. There was no way he was gonna tell him Hank was here, lying in wait. Joel might do something fucked like skip town or something. Maybe something really did happen after he slipped out of the observation room last night. But what he did see was enough to get Joel -- get all of them in a heap of trouble. No wonder Joel is already jumping into his truck, tearing over here, he guessed. But Billy was hoping Joel would do anything to get a chance to compare notes with Moose, and tellin him Moose was going ballistic might not be brightest thing, but it sure as hell was the best he could pull together on short notice. As he went back outside he was sweating with his stunt. But no matter how this shook out, he and Joel had to get off to a quiet corner and get their scripts together about what went down at the docs last night.

"So what'd he say?" Jeff met him half-way, again on damage control, placing himself between Billy and the Moose if he came flying out of the pool.

"Okay Moose I made up some shit about you freakin out or some crap" Billy came over to the side and saw the activity, or lack of it, in the pool. Big Hank was slowly treading water between Mannie and Moose, barely making a ripple. Ern had stopped with the laps and was back in the shallow end, trying to stay in earshot of his Moose.

"You didn't tell'm I was here?" Big Hank was looking casual, but knowing he was the center of attention.

"Fuck no!" Billy went and sat on the edge of the pool, cooling his feet in the water "you think he'd show up if I did?"

"Billy you could have warned him" Hank went back to his chair and grabbed his towel, wiping the sweat out of his eyes, then went to the other side of the pool, taking off his sneakers "Soulman here -- "

"Don't worry I ain't gonna mess him up" he looked around "not in front of all his friends."

"We ain't his friends" from Mannie who saw the coast was finally clear and heaved himself up out of the water and climbed up onto the side, next to Billy.

"Well..." Billy looked around, then at Hank "before you came over you said a lot of stuff about..." Billy looked around the group "well if it's about Joel and it ain't about the doc's -- "

"Chill Herms" Moose looked around "we don't wanna go there okay?"

"Billy why you think I came over here?" Big Hank was slowly gliding around the pool, looking the picture of casual. Or else a snake about to strike.

"You said there was shit goin down, and you mentioned Joel... right?"

"Did I say anything about the docs? Did I mention the word even?"

"But I just -- "

"Billy you're dead meat!" Mannie was getting out of his chair.

"Sit down Mannie" Jeff said "a lot of this stuff's gonna come out in the open sooner or later."

"Well count me out" and he started to gather his clothes.

"You're in this too dude" Big Hank said from the pool "and until I figure out your connection to Joel -- "

"I'll tell ya!" Mannie stopped "I hate his fuckin guts, that's what."

"Why's that man?"

"Cause he blackballed me! He kept me from getting on the fucking football team-- "

"Billy said you were a wrestler" and everyone heard Big Hank's tone. The pride, perhaps a bit of elitism.

"Yeah well I was gonna do both!"

"Like how man? They'd never let you do both. The schedules alone -- "

"I was gonna find a way" Mannie suddenly was in no hurry to leave "I HADDA find a way! If I don't get a scholarship -- shit two! I'm gonna be trapped here forever like my dad!"

"C'mon Herrer y'gotta chill okay?" Jeff was next to him "we're in this together okay? Just park the butt and chill okay?"

"Shit..." he threw his clothes back onto the chair, debating what to do next.

"Mannie weren't you workin on your tan before...?" Jeff took the seat next to him.

"Funny Walker" he looked around, then jumped as Jeff tossed the suntan lotion at him.

"Since when are you so shy!"

"Since we got company's when."

"Did I interrupt something?" Big Hank said from the pool.

"No, just Herrer here was workin on his suntan when you showed up."

"So?"

"I'm fine Walker! Let it go."

"Mannie here, he was workin on his tan, his 'all-over' tan, is all" Jeff was seeing if he could maybe postpone Billy from spilling the beans about the doc's, so Mannie was the perfect distraction.

"Shit is that all?" Big Hank pulled himself out of the pool "Billy we're all gonna prune if you don't adjust that heat in there."

He pulled himself to his feet, the water sheeting off his muscles, his shorts now virtually transparent. As he stood there stroking the water off his chest and legs, he could tell there was a noticeable collective hush in the backyard. It seemed even the wind had died down. The only sound was the slow gurgling from the pool drains. Making sure not to turn his back on an open-mouthed Moose, now motionless in the pool, he looked at Billy then everyone else. He looked down at himself,

"Guess these doin a shitty job of covering me right?" and just when it looked like he was going to grab them by the waistband he shrugged and looked around, "towel?"

At first everyone was too busy trying to catch up, then Hank picked up a dry one from a pile and tossed it to him. Big Hank caught it and started drying himself off. But he could tell all eyes were still on him. To break the spell he looked down at his wet crotch and smiled,

"Shrinkage..." and chuckled.

"Fu-uck..." from Moose who was having trouble breathing. Since he was still below Big Hank and looking up at his crotch, he had a better view of how swollen and red his dick and balls looked, covered or not. Hell, it looked like he had just finished jacking off, he was so filled out and discolored. Shit, if that's his idea of shrinkage, what would... he ducked lower in the water, feeling his cock coming back to full hard fast. He looked back at Ern, just to tear his eyes away from the sight, and saw that Ern was beet red, but if it was the sun or his blush Moose could not figure.

"Okay Billy you were saying..." Big Hank put the towel down on the chair next to Mannie and stretched out.

"Saying... what?" Billy looked around the area, suddenly yanked back to the reality.

"You were gonna tell us -- tell me -- about the docs. Then you got interrupted by Mannie here" Big Hank reached over and slapped him, hard! on his left thigh. Mannie jerked forward.

"Hey!" he shouted but lay back down, too stunned to get pissed.

"Didn't mean to hurt ya. You're a big guy you can take it right? Now while Billy here's tellin his story you want me to spread that lotion on ya?" cocking his eyebrow.

"Shit.. fuck no!" Mannie grabbed the bottle before Big Hank could reach it "I can do it."

"No need to be shy now" Big Hank reached down and started to scratch his balls under the towel, "right?"

"Damn..." Mannie looked around and knew they would hound him until he did "guess not..." and without getting up, slid his wet trunks down his crotch to his thighs then kicked out of them. In a stupid way he had to prove he could run around buck-ass naked and not make a big thing of it. It was his way of showing what a non-issue it was, and in a way how straight he really was. He looked over at Big Hank waiting for the nasty comment, but instead heard him whistle,

"Whew! Man somebody's been busy this summer" he leaned in to get a better look "you get that done here?"

"It's a long story" Mannie leaned away from him to get the lotion again.

"Well we'll make time for it" Big Hank winked, then looked at Billy "you were sayin..."

"Okay Hank, like we said, no more secrets. I'll tell what I can -- and you guys can jump in anytime here okay?"

"Isn't Joel due about now?" Hank looked around to find his watch.

"Yeah where is that shit!" Mannie was coating himself again, trying to keep his direction away from Big Hank.

"Hank you don't wanna be here when he shows up do you? Don't ya wanna wait in the house or something?" from Moose in the pool.

"You don't think I'm presentable?" Hank shielded his eyes and looked over at Moose "you don't want me out here?"

"Hell not that, I mean..." Moose dunked himself, not sure how long he could stay in the water "you look... fine... I mean... but if he sees you first, he gonna tear outa here."

"Well Billy'll keep an eye out for him, now... you were starting -- " and he reached over to Mannie, who took a few seconds to realize he was asking for the lotion.

"Like I told everyone -- everyone else -- I caused all of this shit -- "

"Fuck Billy it's not your fault" Jeff cut in "we -- "

"Let him talk" Big Hank was spreading the lotion all over his chest now, not appearing to concentrate.

"Well yeah it IS my fault. Hank I told ya I had this job at the doc's..." he looked around waiting for someone to interrupt, but not so lucky this time "but I was too chickenshit t'tell ya how I got it."

"Not through your dad?" Big Hank asked, now working on his arms.

"Well no... I mean dad made me go to the doc's for that first exam, yeah. Nothing just your ordinary physical okay?" he looked around "and like I told the guys... when this guy, Kroos -- "

"Kroos?" Big Hank looked around "all you guys know this Kroos?"

"Yeah we all know him" Billy looked at the ground, "some of us better than others..."

"Keep going" up to his shoulders and neck.

"And well when Kroos was examining me... I got..."

"You got what? Scared?" Big Hank was smearing his face now, showing no expression.

"Not exactly" Billy looked around "this is ancient history for all these guys but..."

"Billy's all ashamed" Hank cut in "because he got all turned on like, with Kroos poking him and stuff. Shit Billy it happened to all of us okay?"

"Kroos gave all of you exams?" Big Hank was back to his chest.

"Basically" Jeff broke in "either Kroos or the doc, but... yeah."

"And then?"

"Well... shit Hank... you're gonna think Kroos is a perv if I tell ya... or me! or both!"

"Billy remember we're buds okay?" he stopped and turned to Billy "nothing you say's gonna change that okay? And if these guys can't handle it well -- "

"They already KNOW!"

"And they're still your buds right?"

"I guess" he looked around and no one contradicted him.

"Okay?"

"But Hank... you're not gonna wanna... y'know hang out with me and... stuff."

"Billy nothing's gonna change okay?" he pulled himself out of the chair and stood next to him "okay?" close enough that Billy thought he would kiss him! In front of his friends no less! Instead Big Hank just grabbed him by the shoulders and gave him a shake or two, "okay?"

"Okay you promise?"

"Deal. Now..."

"Shit, go sit down you're making me nervous."

"Can do" Big Hank found a second towel and made it into a pillow for his head, then lay back down, seeing Mannie trying to raise his knees and hide his crotch.

"Okay..." Billy looked around "here goes...well Kroos was giving me the exam and like Hank the big mouth said, yeah I got all turned on. I mean really really turned on! I mean I never saw a really big guy before okay? And that Kroos is a big big guy, you don't know him" Billy looked at Big Hank who was spreading more lotion on his stomach "do you?"

"Yes I do" Big Hank was concentrating on the lotion again.

"What? How?" came from about five directions at once.

"When Joel gets here you'll get your explanation. Go on..."

"Okay like I said, I got so turned on that I... well, let's say Kroos and I got into it, right there, in the exam room... okay?"

"Was the doc there?"

"Hell no! He was probably wanking in the observation room -- "

"The WHAT?" from two or three voices this time.

"You guys only got to see the main room. But there's another... a second room."

"We saw it" Hank spoke up "okay?"

"When?" from Moose and Mannie.

"Like Billy was saying there's a second room. it has this one-way mirror -- don't you guys remember seeing that mirror behind where the guys were sitting -- "

"What guys?" from Big Hank working on his legs and thighs trying keep his voice calm.

"Shut UP Hank" from Moose "we don't gotta -- "

"Yeah Moose we gotta" Big Hank said, his hand now smearing his thighs dangerously close to his balls "and?"

"And yeah me and Jeff saw the other room. A couple of times. Y'see, after Billy had his intense experience with Kroos -- "

"But he's a dirtball!" Big Hank pulled his hand away.

"Maybe. Probably. But he's also a fuckin slab of... pure prime grade-A beef! Okay shit okay for some that makes him a turn-on, well he WAS a turn on. Billy obviously got carried away over him then okay? But when we had our exams -- I mean first Jeff got the treatment -- from the doc not Kroos -- "

"Did they use any machines on you guys?" Big Hank's hand was covering his crotch again.

"Machine? What machine?" from most of them.

"Okay..." Big Hank put that bit of information in his head "we'll come to that in time" he turned his head to Jeff "so what'd he do to you?"

"Well like Billy I thought it was just going to be a regular... thing... but hey we're young horny guys okay? I got all turned on with the prodding and everything, and even with the camera --"

"Pictures? He was taking pictures of those too?" Moose was just about to pull himself out of the pool but slipped back in "what?"

"Y'see Moose you never had your 'preliminary' exam first before... y'know, that! But all of us had videos taken of us while we... well..." Hank looked at Jeff "this okay?"

"Yeah tell'm."

"Well Jeff gets an almost tame exam but he blows his nut on cue, and the whole thing's filmed like I said. Then they pull me in -- shit it was the COACH wasn't it?"

"Yeah it was" Mannie said "he made us ALL go in there for our 'exams'" remember? He said we needed to, so we could wrestle!"

"You tellin me O'Connell's-- "

"Big time!" Moose pulled himself out of the water, and sat on the edge of the pool, his thighs pressed together.

"And then I get hauled in there, except Jeff's there at the same time" Hank looked at Jeff who nodded "and they did this thing where they make a model of your dick, your hard dick, from the pictures somehow, so during my exam, I end up with this big fat rubber copy of Jeff... up my... butt okay? at the same time they're making me watch the film of... his exam -- "

"Damn!" Big Hank's hand was trying to keep still.

"And I admit it, it was sick, and wrong, but it was one of the most intense sexual experiences of my fuckin life! Okay?"

"That's when they decide they want me to play Little Billy Sex Nurse, okay?" Billy cut back in "and for a while, I was 'helping' them do the exams -- yeah Hank I was in the mix getting my rocks off with some of the 'patients' and then more and more of the team started getting called in -- "

"Except you" Big Hank looked at Moose, catching him staring at what his hand was trying to cover under the towel.

"I was outa town" he gulped "where I shoulda stayed."

"Moose didn't show up until the big fund--"

"Soulman's not interested -- " Moose was distracted by Ern also finally getting out of the pool. By now his skin was bright white, except for the area around his shoulders and chest which was a bright red. And there was another area that was very red by contrast. Ern's cock was fully hard and sticking straight out.

"Damn Ern cover up already!" Moose shouted a bit too loud.

"No need" Big Hank turned back to Moose "if I looked that good, I'd never wear clothes. Ern ain't nothin to be ashamed of" and Mannie was close enough to see that Big Hank's hand was having difficulty covering the tent under the towel. Mannie looked away fast.

"Moose was outa town, I was too" Ern found a towel and tossed it to the Moose who had been too distracted to dry himself before. He quickly tossed it back, hoping Ern would cover up already! "so we didn't know any of this shit was goin down til... that Saturday -- "

"If anyone's gonna haveta tell him about that it's gotta -- I mean it better be me okay?" Moose pushed his hands between his thighs, knowing that everyone was wise to his condition.

"We are definitely going to come back to that next but Billy, what about all this filming?" Big Hank looked at him, seeing his shorts starting to tent a bit.

"Well the more guys started coming in, the more they made a point of filming everything, saying it was for insurance reasons, or liability or some bullshit but --"

"What's that?" Mannie spun his head around at the sound "we got company!"

"Everyone cool now, okay?" from Hank, doing double-time to catch up with Billy who was already half-way down the driveway.

"Billy what's up?" Joel was ambling up the driveway, seeing a very sweaty Billy almost running to meet him, then a close second behind him "Jenkins, I didn't know you were here too?"

"Joel long time" and to Joel's surprise Hank grabbed him by the shoulder, his other hand out to shake. Joel hesitated a split second then shook back "yeah right, so what's the scene? Moose here too right?"

"Yeah Moose is here, but he ain't gonna kill ya. He just wants to know what's goin down?"

"Fuck you guys know more than me right?" and the three started a slow walk up the driveway. When they came around the corner, Joel did a double take! He saw a naked Herrer lying on one chair, Moose and Ern were sitting on the side of the pool, butt naked too it seemed, and Jeff was sitting off to the side, and at least he was wearing cut-offs. And there was somebody else lying face down on a lounge chair, a towel over his butt, another over his head. A big guy too from what Joel could tell as he got closer. He looked at Billy,

"So what's all this? You guys 'partying' again?"

"Join us" Billy looked at Joel's shirt "even if you are overdressed."

"Shit..." Joel looked at the guys, pulling his shirt over his head "Jeff... Moose..." he waited for the response but Moose just waved back "Ern what's shakin" waving at him.

"And I think you also know..." Hank, who was larger, directed Joel to the last person, just as Big Hank turned, the towel falling off his face.

"FUCK!!!!" Joel tried to pull back but Hank grabbed him in time. Joel tried taking a swing with his shirt half over his head, but Billy deflected most of it. But Joel was fighting for his life now, as was just about to break free when Big Hank grabbed him by the forearm and twisted it behind his back.

"AHHHHH!!!" Joel screamed "MY ARMMM!!!"

"The name's Hank" Big Hank said to Joel "thought you'd be happy to see me again!"

"Let me GO!" Joel screamed, and Big Hank's other hand was over his mouth.

"Not so loud buddy" Hank leaned in close "we don't wanna be upsetting the neighbors do we?"

"That would be me!" Mannie stood up, wrapping a towel around his girth "remember?"

"M-m-m-m-m-m..." was all Joel could say.

"Now either you stop the screaming or we're gonna gag ya. And I don't wanna do that cause we're right at the part of the story where you break into my locker!" he gave Joel's arm a tug, hearing his gasp "and that's what you're gonna tell all of us about okay?"

"Fuck!" Joel yelled, but not as loud as before, after Big Hank's hand was removed "damn you're killing me!"

"Not yet" Billy said "but it may be an option. Last night or no last night."

Moose ignored Billy's comment and joined them, his jaw in Joel's face "Hello minnow! Glad you could join us again. Thought maybe the fun Wednesday took all the fight outa ya!"

"Shut the fuck UP Moose" Joel looked around, his arm still pinned behind him "so is that it? Everyone's gonna take turns pounding the minnow?"

"Not if you agree -- "

"I ain't agreeing to NOTHING!" and he tried to break away but no good. It was maybe California against Texas this time, but Texas had the upper hand. Upper arm lock actually.

"Joel, Hank here's a bit concerned about you -- "

"Billy how could you rat me out! After all that shit I thought we were -- "

"Were friends?" Billy looked at Hank "we are Joel. And I want us all live long enough to stay that way. That's why I don't wanna see ya get like hurt --"

"Well he IS hurting me" Joel's struggling was getting him nowhere.

"And I for sure don't wanna see Hank get hurt, or any of my friends get hurt okay?"

"Why me? What do I gotta do with this?"

"That's what you're gonna tell us" Big Hank was starting to stear him back to the chairs "right here right now. Today. All of it Joel. Or else you are goin down!"

"If I go down you do too!" as he felt himself being angled towards a chair. No way was he gonna be sitting in it!

"That's right Joel" Billy looked at him "all of us! we all do! That's why you're gonna talk, okay?"

"Not now!" Joel tried to twist his head around to see Hank "not with him here!"

"Why not?" Billy's face got hard "what happened between you two at the doc's?"

"WHAT?!?!" Joel tried to lunge "you TOLD him!?!"

"Of course idiot!" Billy snapped "how else -- "

"I don't know Joel from the doc's" Big Hank gave his arm small jerk to remind him of his position "tell him!"

"Damnn!!!" Joel looked at Moose "Moose help me out here! You can take him!"

"Take the Soulman?" Moose looked at Big Hank "what you smokin minnow?"

"So you gonna be peaceful or we gotta break an arm -- "

"NO!!!" Joel yelled "not my arm!"

"He needs it to jack his meat remember?" Moose stood there, naked and intimidating.

"Fuck you!" Joel spat but not as loud "I start -- we all start practice next week or you forget!"

"We didn't forget minnow" Moose looked at Big Hank "I think he's gonna cooperate aren't ya?"

Joel looked around, trying to find an ally "Jeff? Ern? You can't let them do this!"

"No one's gonna break your arm Joel" Jeff said "just come clean okay?"

"I can't!"

"Why not?" Big Hank started to ease the grip.

"They'll kill me that's why!"

"Joel we ain't gonna kill ya -- " from Billy.

"Not you! Them!"

"Who?"

"I'm serious" he looked at Billy "you know who I'm talkin about! They will really kill me -- like floating-in-the-lake kill!"

"Who's he talkin about?" Big Hank looked at Billy now, and not too friendly.

"There are these guys" Billy looked around, then back to Joel "I think -- we think -- they're the ones behind all this. We think Kroos is one of them, or maybe just getting money from them, we're still figuring -- Joel's figuring cause I don't work there anymore... well after last night."

"That right?"

"Yeah" Joel felt some circulation coming back into his arm "they're like the ringleaders behind all this shit. They're not local, we don't know them. One's called Smith, another's Jones, the third -- "

"Third?" Billy asked.

"There's like five of them okay? And if they find out about this, I'm gonna be at the bottom of Lake Michigan okay?"

"You tell us what you know and I can guarantee you'll be safe" Big Hank looked at all of them "you'll all be safe."

"What are ya, a cop?"

"Wouldn't that be your luck" Big Hank pressed his face next to Joel's "pulling that stunt on a cop!"

"I didn't know!" Joel was almost whining now.

"Joel he ain't a cop, chill!" Billly looked at Hank "are you?"

"Fuck no..." Big Hank looked at Billy, a bit annoyed "you know that! But my -- I mean -- I know... some... cops."

"Who?"

"First things first bud" Hank had Joel in front of the chair and pushed him down into it with a loud bang! Joel's breath was knocked out of him and it took a few seconds to recover. As soon as he did he was out of the chair in a flash!

This time Hank grabbed him and held him until Moose joined in,

"Don't make me hurt ya minnow" Moose pressed his crotch against Joel "cause y'know how much I'd like it!"

"Damn lemme go!"

"Billy y'got any rope?" Big Hank was helping Moose steer Joel to another, sturdier chair.

"Rope? You gonna tie him down?"

"Looks like we gotta!" Big Hank nodded, then turned to Mannie "so you live there?" indicating the only house to see into the back yard.

"Yeah why?"

"Go make sure we ain't got an audience, okay?"

"Shit just when things're getting good" Mannie looked around for his trunks and shirt "don't start the rough stuff til I get back. I wanna see this!"

"Go on!"

Mannie took off down the driveway barefoot, the hot concrete causing him to hop half the way. He went into his yard, then into the kitchen. He yelled for anyone, but it seemed the place was empty. He tore up the stairs, and into his bedroom, almost expecting to see a crowd of cops -- or worse! -- at the window watching the whole damn thing! He looked out the window, realizing it was a perfect view. He pulled down the blind, then tripped his way back out the dimly-lit room. When he was closing the door, it hit him! He went back to the window and peeked through the blind. Sure enough, Billy's window also overlooked the backyard and damn! but it looked like someone was at Billy's window! He couldn't tell with the glare but who could it be but Joe! Mutherfuck, his dad's watchin the whole fuckin show! He staggered back through the room, and closed his door again. He found the hidden key and locked the door, turning the "Do Not Disturb or Die!" sign face forward. He knew even his mom would not try to go in there now!

Mannie double-timed back to the Herm's backyard, debating if he should tell Billy his dad was fuckin home! He realized if he did, Billy would tear into the house and confront him, and that would be the end of the entertainment. And that was not gonna happen this time! Mannie kept his mouth shut as he rejoined them.

By now Joel was tied into the chair securely. For some reason he did not look as black and blue as Mannie would have liked. And he did not have a gag either. Too bad he was not in charge of this little interrogation. He'd have that minnow squealing like a bitch!

"Think we should make a record of this for safe-keeping?" Billy looked at Big Hank.

"Record?"

"Like film y'know?"

"No! No more filming" Mannie shouted, trying not to look at the window. He knew that if Billy went in looking for the camera, he'd find his dad there. Probably with that camera running! "let it go."

"Mannie's right" Big Hank looked around, then at Joel "we were having a quiet afternoon til you showed up" and just like that he went back to his chair and started mopping the sweat off himself "and I for one don't wanna ruin anyone's day" and he lay back.

"I thought we were gonna get it outa him?" Moose looked at Billy then the rest.

"Maybe we should go" Ern went over to his things and started to look for his underwear.

"I would like it if you both stayed, if everyone stayed" Big Hank looked around "every one of you guys has a big stake in how this turns out right? and besides, it's been a long time since I spent an interesting afternoon with such a pack of... studs like this" he looked at Billy "you don't mind do you?"

"Mind what?"

"That I think your friends are.. hot."

"Hot? I'm fuckin dying over here!" Joel yelled out, a bit on the feeble side "Billy I was working all day remember? Gimme some water!"

"Oh shit I forgot" Billy got up and started for the kitchen door.

"Let him bake!" Big Hank motioned for Mannie to join him in his regular chair.

"But Hank, Joel gets really sick if he dehydrates."

"Let him. Maybe he'll be more co-operative if -- "

"No really Hank. That's why he went to the doc's in the first place -- cause he was so dehydrated -- "

"Okay Billy they don't need to know -- "

"C'mon Joel it ain't a big scandal. Joel was passing out at work so he went to the doc's and then..."

"Joel? And then?" Big Hank pointed at the lotion lying next to Mannie. He saw it and passed it over.

"And then... just like what happened with Billy y'know... I made a play for Kroos okay?"

"What is this with this Kroos guy?" Big Hank squeezed a big dollup onto his chest again "everyone here have the hots for this asshole?"

"No Hank, just me okay?" Joel's eyes were squeezed shut, the salty sweat burning into them now.

"So wait, tell me this again" Big Hank tossed the lotion back to Mannie, who had tossed his shirt by this point "you didn't have to go to the docs cause the coach -- "

"He's a minnow remember?" Moose was getting back into to pool, prune or not.

"So your coach, whatever his name, didn't make you go."

"Fuck no!" Joel grunted "Bernan's not involved in any of this shit."

"Let's hope not" Big Hank was working it over his upper torso again, looking over to Mannie doing the same "you ain't stopping there are ya?"

Mannie smirked then started to pull down his trunks, then stopped fast!

"No I'll tell ya the rest" Joel continued "so once Kroos sees he's got another red-blooded homo -- "

"Kill the word Joel" from Billy.

"Okay, full-blooded horndog on his hands, he starts putting me to work as well."

"And that's why you pulled your fuckin stunt? Kroos put you up to it, didn't he!" Big Hank looked over to Mannie "what's the hesitation man?"

"Naw I'm fine like this" and it took a major act of willpower not to look up at the window.

"You tellin us you got relatives watching up at your window?" Big Hank, and then a few more looked up at Mannie's window, and then all the rest looked up to Billy's as well. Mannie just about shit when no one noticed.

"I told ya I checked everything, no one's home and the fuckin door's locked man, no one's gonna come near there."

"Then why so shy all of a sudden?" Big Hank kept looking around, then at Billy "you know anything?"

"Billy's cool" Mannie shot him a look and before Big Hank could say anything else, he started to peel down his trunks "it's all cool."

"That's better" Big Hank looked over at Moose in the pool, hanging onto the side. Ern was sitting next to him, a towel over his head, and one over his crotch. Hank and Jeff were still in their trunks, but both shirtless now.

"Just chillin by the pool with buds" Big Hank looked around, then up to Billy "when are you gonna sit your ass down bud?"

"Just still nervous I guess" Billy looked at Joel.

"Because of me?"

"Shit no..." Billy lied "but Joel's kinda right."

"I told you!" came from that direction.

"No bud you ain't told me" Big Hank motioned for Billy to take the seat on his other side "and you ain't gettin no water til you do, can I make it any clearer?"

"C'mon Hank he's suffering like that" from Hank looking at Jeff "none of us would -- "

"Be better off like in prison?" Big Hank looked at them all "which is where people we know -- none of us if I can help it -- but people will end up if Joel here doesn't tell us what he knows. Now where were we?" he started to smear the pile of lotion over his thighs and legs again, "oh yeah, how Kroos set you up for your stunt!"

"I keep tellin ya it wasn't Kroos!" Joel started to pant.

"Billy if y'wont sit down then, bring some of those sodas out here for your guests" Big Hank looked around "maybe Hank could help ya."

"Sure!" and Hank jumped out his chair, thinking Joel's ordeal was finally gonna end.

"So if it wasn't Kroos" Billy and Hank headed for the kitchen door "who was it?"

"Billy you heading for the kitchen?" Mannie shouted real loud "could ya bring me some ice?"

"Sure" and they headed inside.

"Joel?"

"You promise y'won't kill me?"

"I will if y'keep stallin" Big Hank looked over at Mannie, who was finally speading some lotion over his front, "ya finished with it?"

"Ya need more?!?!" Mannie looked at the gallon of goo Big Hank still had on his chest.

"Moose?"

"Yeah?"

"Sun tan lotion?"

"I'm fine" Moose dunked under the water again.

"I was thinkin for your bud Ern there."

"Ern y'need some lotion?"

"And then some" Ern came out of his chair towards Big Hank.

"Why don't ya bring your chair over here? We're all friends now right?"

"Cool" Ern made sure the towel was snug around his waist before he drag his and Moose's chairs over by the threesome. It made of point of isolating Joel's position even more.

"Joel you might as well answer Hank's -- Big Hank's questions" Ern took one of the chairs, leaving the one closest to Big Hank vacant for the Moose "the sooner you do--"

"The sooner you can pound the shit outa me right?" Joel's clothes were now soaking wet and he was getting a weird color.

"We ain't gonna beat you up idiot!" Jeff got out of his chair and was back at poolside, splashing his legs "but I can't guarantee it if you don't explain all this shit! Geez can't you get it through your bonehead skull we are all in deep shit, not just you? Stop being such a selfish asshole coward, think of all of us!"

"All you fuckin crappers you mean!"

"Drop the shit, it's too late for that bull. Look, Billy's been a real bud to you" Jeff was keeping one eye on Moose wading around, maybe trying to position himself between Joel and him in case he came tearing out of the pool "he coulda made your life miserable because of the doc's, am I lying?"

"Shit..." Joel was panting, his wet t-shirt clinging and tightening on his chest "just gimme some water!"

"Okay guys enough!" Billy came back out with trays of cups and bottles "here ya go Joel!" and he was bringing a plastic mug over to Joel.

"Wait!" Big Hank jumped up, lotion flying everywhere "I'll do it!" and in two large steps he was next to Billy, taking the mug from him.

"C'mon Hank he's really sufferin!" Billy looked at the two. As much as he was crazy about Big Hank he was not the kind of guy who would enjoy seeing anyone suffer.

"I understand he's your friend okay?" Big Hank looked at him "see? Billy still thinks your a bud!" to Joel "and you're acting like a lying little asswipe coward!"

"Fuck you! I ain't a coward!"

"Billy I would really appreciate it if you went and sat back down okay?"

"Why? What are ya gonna do to him?"

"Please Billy? If you value our... our friendship y'gotta trust me now okay?"

"Please Hank don't hurt him."

"I won't okay?"

"You sure?"

"I'm sure" Big Hank grabbed him by the butt "now shoo!"

Billy went back to Hank and was distributing drinks to everyone. Hank went over to Jeff and Moose and sat down next to Moose who had parked his butt on the side between them. When Billy was back in his chair Big Hank looked at Joel,

"Okay bud tell us all about last Friday."

"Cut me some slack Hank" Joel's eyes were bugging looking at the mug of ice water "I'll tell ya in private!"

"No now!"

"I CAN'T!"

Big Hank pulled an ice cube out of the mug and held it in front of Joel's mouth, "thirsty?"

"God please!" Joel opened his mouth. Instead Big Hank yanked forward the waistband of his shorts and shoved the ice cube into his crotch. The scream that came out of Joel was enough to bring the ambulances.

"Now can you talk?" Big Hank pulled a second ice cube from the mug and waved it front of him, at the same time trying to block Billy and Hank who were trying to pull him away.

"Stop it stop it Hank!" Billy was trying to grab his arm. Hank had the good sense to put his hand over Joel's mouth before he brought the entire neighborbood down on them.

"Get it out! get it out!" Joel was screaming before Hank's hand covered his face.

"No more ice cubes! That was vicious!" Billy looked at Big Hank a bit scared now. The was a whole new side he had never seen and it was making him very nervous.

"You're right Billy" Hank tossed the ice cube back in the mug "Joel? You ready to talk?"

M-m-mm-m" Joel moaned under Hank's hand until Big Hank signaled him to take it away "get it out!"

"Not until you talk!"

"Damn you!" Joel tried to pull his crotch away from the ice cube but no good! He was too well trussed.

"Last chance" Big Hank looked at Billy "sorry..." and he dumped the entire mug down Joel's open waistband. Had Hank not been there Joel would have been airborn!

"AHAHAAHAHAAAAHHHHHHH!" Joel screamed again before Hank's hand clamped down on his mouth.

"C'mon Hank no more!" Billy was trying to pull Big Hank away "that's too much!"

"Billy you don't know what the stakes are here bud" Big Hank stood up grabbing him "this ain't some silly fraternity prank game okay?"

"You're killin him!"

"Shit he just feels like I'm killin'm" Big Hank looked over his shoulder at Joel "he'll live. He only feels like someone kicked him in the balls that's all" he saw Hank trying to pull Joel's shorts down to get at the ice cubes. When his shorts were down around his knees and most of the chunks of ice were gone, Big Hank came back and looked at Joel.

"We got a whole freezer full of ice cubes Joel" Big Hank cupped Joel's balls in his hands "it's up to you."

"Okay okay you win!" Joel was almost crying, tears forming in his eyes, or was it sweat?

"You gonna tell us about Friday?"

"Okay okay you win! No more ice cubes please!" Joel's voice cracked as he admitted he was beaten "just gimme some water please, I'll tell you!"

"Billy he needs some water now" Big Hank looked around as he went back to his chair as Billy dashed into the kitchen. When Hank started untying Joel Big Hank barked,

"Leave'm tied until he's talked."

"C'mon he's beaten."

"I mean it Hank. Another five minutes ain't gonna kill him."

"Man you are one fuckin sadist" Hank walked away and rejoined Jeff. Moose was talking quietly to Jeff inaudiable over the splashing in the pool.

"Okay Joel. Friday!"

"Okay okay" Joel looked around, hoping someone would rescue him but even Hank had now deserted him "Friday we were at the Y -- "

"Who's 'we'?"

"Y'know guys from the team. Ted and Brian and Sam. And EG was there too."

"They put you up to it?"

"Shit no!"

"Then who?"

"Damn..." Joel saw Billy coming with the water "finally!" and Billy started to pour it slowly into his mouth. After half the glass was emptied he gasped "my arms're killin me. Please Billy, have Hank untie me..."

"C'mon Hank we've done enough to him okay?"

"You promise you ain't gonna jump anyone?"

"Yeah whatever!"

"Or try to run outa here?"

"I said yeah, okay?"

"Billy, help Joel get outa those pants okay?"

"What?" from both of them "why?"

"I don't think you're gonna get too far buck ass naked Joel" Big Hank lay back, looking around for the lotion. Hern found it for him and tossed it, "thanks."

Billy grabbed the wet shorts and underwear and started to pull them down. At first Joel protested but realized it was the only way to get his arm free. When his shoes were off and his shorts were safely put on the other side of the pool, Billy quickly undid the knots and Joel's shoulders and arms shook free. As he struggled to his feet, Big Hank yelled,

"Shirt too!"

"C'mon Hank..." but Joel was already grabbing at the hem, starting to lift it up.

"Now it's my turn to see YOU strip, buck."

"Fine you win" and Joel pulled the shirt over his head and tossed it at Big Hank. He stood there, looking around, feeling very naked in front of everyone, even though he was no more exposed than a lot of them. He looked down at his wet crotch, and saw his goods were finally starting to unwrinkle from the ice treatment. He stood there facing Big Hank rubbing his arms, getting the circulation back, seeing the red stripes across his big arms and chest where the ropes had dug in. He saw that now Moose was raising himself out of the water, a bit pruned but still looking big. When he saw where Joel was looking he made a point of picking up his pants and shorts and carrying them over to his seat next to Ern and sitting his full 280 pounds on top of them. Hank and Jeff were talking quietly in their chairs.

"Any more of that water Billy?" Joel looked around, hoping to see a pitcher or something.

"You've had enough for now. Now no more interruptions, Friday! bud!"

"Okay okay" Joel looked back at his chair and sat down.

"Back on your feet" Big Hank was smearing the lotion down his front "and face us."

"Why?"

"Do it" Big Hank tossed the lotion back to Ern "thanks."

Joel got to his feet, too tired now to argue,

"Okay like I said, the guys had nothing to do with it okay?"

"Tell'm what you're talkin about."

"Y'see Hank here was listenin to the whole talk between Jorge and me, in the weight room okay" he looked at Mannie "and I was tryin to tell him why you weren't on the football team-- "

"Cause you blackballed me you mutherfucker" Mannie shouted but felt Big Hank's arm come down on his chest, preventing him from getting up.

"I didn't fuckin blackball ya okay? That's what me and Jorge was talkin about. You got cut from the team cause they fuckin cut our money dude! You MADE the fuckin team!"

"Liar!"

"It's true ask anyone, ask the coach. You woulda been on the team but they fuckin cut your position and that's why we got creamed all fuckin year okay?"

"Bull!"

"Ain't bull! If you had been there we woulda probably made state damnit!"

"Keep goin Joel" from Big Hank, his hand still on Mannie's chest.

"So this big dude's like all of two fuckin feet from us when we're talking see? And damn but he's like interested... I mean INTERESTED in what we're talking about-- "

"Explain 'interested'" from Big Hank.

"You don't want me -- "

"They already know" he looked at Mannie sideway "I just wanna see your face when YOU tell'm."

"Damn..." Joel looked around "okay his 'interest' is like almost ripping the seams in his shorts you got it? His fuckin bone is like as plain as day and damn if that Jorge ain't stealing looks at it, and then you start comin over to where we're talkin, thinkin we're like gettin ready to dance and all the time I'm prayin, damn don't let this dude stand up cause then everyone's gonna see this pole stickin out his shorts okay? So we get the fuck outa there and back to the locker room, and fuck, Mister Footlong here's like back in the locker room with us and okay..." he looked around "okay so now like everyone's not eyeballin us, except for Mannie there waitin for us to like jump his bones or something -- "

"Fuck you shoulda seen you two" Mannie smirked "I was waiting t'see which of your two ho-- I mean 'dudes' -- was gonna blow him first!"

"Chill" Big Hank's hand pressed down farther.

"And it's like you two stood there like fuckin puppies waiting for him to strip his clothes so he could throw you his bone!

"Mannie enough!" his hand was now pushing into his large muscled gut "Joel?"

"Fine okay you're right. It's not like something you see every day okay?" he looked down at himself, and covered his crotch with his hands "so when... like... c'mon Hank do I gotta?"

"You sure as hell gotta!"

"Shit... so Hank here, yeah he finally strips down so he can take his shower and man you've seen him hard! You know-- "

"Joel -- and okay you Billy are the only one's -- "

"Sorry man" Moose looked at Billy "we all saw what got Joel all droolin!"

"What?" Big Hank looked around "no way! When?"

"I'll explain" Billy was next to Big Hank "but yeah they all saw ya stud. Let Joel finish then I'll explain."

You better!" Big Hank looked at Billy, thinking some of those pics from his apartment that night might have made it to show-and-tell "those pics were only for us Billy!"

"Pics?" Billy took a few moments to catch on "not pics, somethin... else -- but later I promise, no more secrets remember?"

"Not those pics from that... y'know when?"

"Fuck no!" Billy looked at Joel "you still dodging, Joel..."

"Shit..." he looked around "seems like everyone's filming everything! I wouldn't put it past you guys if you ain't filmin now" and he grabbed himself "y'gettin your money's worth?"

"Keep your hand there" Big Hank's hand was still on Mannie's large smooth brown belly, and he rested his other on Billy's stomach "just grab it, don't jack it... yet" he looked at Billy and winked "now tell them what happened when I was in the shower."

Joel looked around his position, calculating who would get to him first "you promise no one's gonna mess with me -- "

"Go on -- "

"Hank you KNOW they're gonna beat me to a pulp -- "

"Joel just tell us" Billy looked down at Big Hank's hand rubbing his belly "you're already in deep shit okay?"

"You promise?"

"I promise" Billy said "okay?"

"Billy I'm counting on you..." he looked around, seeing Moose make a point of shoving his shorts under his butt "okay... Billy here knows my story... like you can probably figure out... I'm... like... well... I'm... into guys... like big time okay?" he looked around waiting for the sneers or the snide comments but instead just got impatience and anger "okay?... so when I saw this guy" looking at Big Hank "I didn't know who the fuck he was! I swear! I didn't know you were like this big fucking star okay? Had I known..."

"But you knew I was the Soulman! You called me that in the locker room remember? Shit just keep going" Big Hank's hands were slowly doing a gentle rub on either bellies.

"I know... but I swear Hank I had no fuckin IDEA what that meant, or who you were okay? All I know is that here's this guy who is like the fuckin biggest stud I ever seen! And like he has this dick that won't stop! This guy is like Everready okay? So I'm thinkin... 'I' am thinking okay? No one else, it's me okay? Well I thought I could maybe get to know him -- "

"By stealin my fuckin driver's licence?" Big Hank could not shut up anymore "You think?"

All hell broke loose! Billy and Moose were out of their chairs in a flash and closing in on Joel. They were just about to start getting into in when Big Hank's voice boomed out,

"No one touches him, he's mine!"

"What?" Moose already had grabbed at Joel's arm and both were trying to get in a swing.

"Anybody who wants to take him on hasta come through me first. I'm talkin to ya Moose!" and Big Hank was starting to stand up, his chest swelling out "you were tellin me how much you admired me and looked up to me. Well if that's still true, sit down and shut up! You too Billy!"

"You're dead!" Moose let Joel go with a shove "you are so fuckin dead!"

Moose grabbed Billy and dragged him back to their chairs, both of them tossing themselves down so hard it sounded like the chairs would snap. Joel looked around and reached into the pool to splash his face and chest. He stood back up and faced them, the worst now almost over.

"Okay Hank's right. I did it! I stole his license!" Joel looked around "I didn't mean for all of the shit to happen! I just had no other way of getting to know you!"

"You coulda fuckin talked to me!" Big Hank was back in his chair, one hand back on Billy's chest. Mannie on his other side seemed to be too pissed to move.

"Ya I coulda... but I had NO fuckin CLUE what your scene was man! I ain't ever seen a guy parading around the Y with the fuckin hardon from hell okay?

You coulda been a cop! You coulda been, shit I don't KNOW what okay?" he looked down at the ground "what I did was uncool! But I was so fuckin horned up I couldn't think straight..." he went over to his chair and tried to sit but then, stood back up, he knew he was beat "so I get home and I wait, and wait and nothing fuckin happens! I thought for sure you'd be callin as soon as you got to your car okay?" he looked around, seeing the confusion on some faces "okay okay I left a note where the license was, my phone number so he'd haveta call okay? But he never called... then I got... scared" he looked at Big Hank, his hands covering his crotch "then I thought oh shit he IS a cop or something, and I sat there waiting for them to break down my door or some shit... and when you didn't call I called my -- I called someone -- "

"You called your what?" Big Hank's other hand was back on Mannie's chest, a subtle warning.

"C'mon Hank I can't tell -- "

"I need a name, Joel. I need it now" Big Hank lay there looking like a wound spring "or the ice cubes will be nothin in comparison" and his hands pushed down on both their chests.

"C'mon Hank..." Joel looked around.

"Name."

"Okay..." Joel looked down "I got scared okay? I didn't know who I could talk to, and there is -- there was -- only one other person who knew my kinky shit -- my...cousin..."

"Name?"

"Shit... he's Randy..."

"Randy what?"

"Merklins okay? Like me okay?" he knew this was inevitable but wished it did have to go down like this.

"Keep goin..." Big Hank's hands were starting that slow massaging of those stomachs, convex and concave, brown and pink . Mannie gave him a weird look but Big Hank keep his gaze on Joel.

"I had no one to turn to okay? So I called him and sorta explained -- "

"Sorta?" from Moose, but Big Hank hushed him fast.

"Well do I gotta tell ya all my business?"

"Yes Joel ALL of it!"

"C'mon he ain't part of this!" Joel lied.

"I'll decide that!" from Big Hank

"Well Randy's like... well... y'know he's the only one I knew into all this horny shit okay?"

"You messed with him?" from Big Hank.

"Well... yeah... so I told him there was this guy I saw at the Y and..."

"And?"

"And one thing led to another... okay?"

"You skipped about twenty of those things!" Big Hank kept his hands moving in tight little circles "you make it sound like except for this cousin of yours, you are like this big virgin or something!"

"I am -- was -- y'know?"

"That explains what happened in the shower room?" Big Hank set a trap.

"Shit Hank! Y'gotta bring that up?"

"You wanna tell'm our should I?"

"They don't gotta know!"

"You see I was in the shower -- " Big Hank started, his left hand now grazing the top of Billy's shorts. Billy's hand reached down to stop it, but Big Hank just pushed it away.

"Shit, okay..." he kept his hands tightly over his crotch "after I sneaked into his locker and... found -- "

"Stole!"

"...his wallet like, I needed a shower so I headed in there, and like there's no fuckin way he's still gonna show wood right? in the fuckin shower? That's like too fag--"

"Watch it!" from Hank of all people.

"Okay, it's too... blatant okay? so okay I looked around, like okay I was doggin around" looking at Mannie "I fuckin admit it, and I went way in back and damn! there the Super Stud was showering up, and like he just finished his workout so he's all filled out..." his hands are holding his cock tight, feeling it start to push back against his palms "and I tried not to stare but when he turns around like, and damn he's all fuckin hard! right out in the open! okay I got like major turned on!"

"Fold your arms Joel" from Big Hank, his left hand now starting a slow rub down Billy's crotch, the other lingering at Mannie's smooth shaved belly in the area below his protruding navel.

"C'mon Hank..." looking up from the patch of tile he had been memorizing.

Don't make me say it twice Joel."

"Shit..." he slowly released his death-grip on his crotch and raised his hands, his hardening dick swinging free. He waited for the coughs or mutterings, again nothing, dead silence "okay see how easy I get boned? Billy knows what that's all about right?" he looked at Billy who just nodded, looking down himself as Big Hank's hand was starting a firm rubbing of his crotch, the inevitable outcome happening fast "shit... okay so I couldn't help it... I.. just... blew!"

"What?" Mannie looked down at Big Hank's hand slowly working south of his navel "shit man you gotta be doin that?"

"You don't gotta stay if this is botherin ya Mannie" Big Hank's hand was now rubbing down the slope from his round belly, down to his shaved pubes. But Mannie just lay there, hoping this was gonna be sorted out real soon. Before he started... growing.

"Yeah... I blew like a super wad all over the shower floor okay? Without even touchin it okay?"

"You're full of shit" Moose looked at Ern then back at Joel "no one can do that!"

"He did!" Big Hank said, his left hand now feeling a distinct hardness inside of Billy's shorts "I was there remember?"

"Okay like I been horned all day, and the whole thing in the gym, then seeing him there naked and showerin... I fuckin lost it!" he looked down at his cock poking straight out "I gotta draw a picture?" he pointed at his crotch.

"Arms folded!" from Big Hank.

"Okay..." he looked at Big Hank "y'happy now? I told ya all -- "

"Not by half" Big Hank's hands kept at it, his left now emphasizing Billy's bone, his right slowing inching towards the root of Mannie's dick. Mannie started to squirm but Big Hank's forearm pressed into his hip, discouraging the idea of resistance "tell them what happened when I finally noticed my licence gone and I called you."

"Shit..." Joel rubbed his face then quickly refolded his arms "you ain't tellin me you want them hearing about -- "

"Try me!" Big Hank's left hand was slowly working the zipper of Billy's fly down, the snap already open.

"You're not serious!"

"Dead serious! Tell'm!"

"Fuck it's your funeral -- "

"It ain't gonna be no one's funeral remember?"

"Shit you are un-fuckin-believable!" Joel looked around the group "like Hank here said, he finally calls me..." back to Hank "and we meet at the Mall... and then we -- "

"Joel tell them ALL of it!"

"Fuck..." Joel went back to the one tile "okay Hank met me at the Mall and was gonna kill me right?"

"No shit" from Moose, nudging Ern and directing his attention to what Big Hank's hand was now doing to Billy's fully exposed dick and balls now "shit..."

"Okay... everyone's getting so into this I'll give ya all the skanky details -- "

"Finally!" from Big Hank whose other hand was now toying with Mannie's cock, feeling the beginning of pressure in his hand. His left hand already had Billy full hard so he was just holding it tight, not wanting Billy to shoot too soon.

"Okay I meet the Soulman in the parking lot and he's gonna kill me right? But I convince him it's not a good idea to be seen on all the security cameras beating up this kid right?"

"Merklins you're no fuckin kid!" from Moose.

"And if he beats me up then he's never gonna see the license again."

"You coulda just gotten a new one!" from Ern, trying to keep his eyes off what Big Hank's up to. Especially now that Big Hank was starting to have some rumbling in his own crotch.

"Yeah he coulda, but he wasn't really thinking straight then, he was too eager to mess me up. Then I make him an offer -- "

"Tell them!" from Big Hank.

"Shit he's this big stud with this fuckin dick that won't quit!" Joel looked up at Big Hank "like just look at that!" everyone now seeing how aroused Big Hank was getting, even Jeff and Hank standing up to get a better view "you tell me that's not porn material!"

"What?" Billy slammed his hand down over his crotch "Hank?"

"Let him finish!" and Big Hank's hands stayed put. Especially the right one, now that Mannie was losing his battle, and his shaved cock was responding to the constant pressure.

"You gettin off on this?" Mannie looked at Big Hank, then down at his cock.

"Joel?" Big Hank nodded at him.

"Yeah you heard me! Porn! I waved some numbers in front of the big stud and he jumped on it!"

"You know as sure as shit it was fuckin blackmail!"

"Yeah it didn't take a broken arm and a crotch full of ice cubes did it?"

"I knew if I went along with you I could maybe keep a lid on this! I had no idea how big this whole thing was!" Big Hank looked down at himself, hoping no one got the stupid pun.

"Whatever! Okay, maybe it was fuckin coersion I admit it! okay?" Joel looked down at the tile again "and I admit I wanted to see him put through the paces! I didn't know what Mort -- "

"MORT!?!?" Moose bellowed "Mort who?"

"I don't know. Mort something. He has this restaurant out by P******h -- "

Moose shot a look at Billy that could kill, then Hank and Jeff, signaling a finger across his throat: cut it now! All three knew enough not to open their mouths!

"You know Mort?" Joel saw a bit of leverage.

"Never heard of him!" he shot the look at the three again. Say a word and you're dead! he said without saying a word!

"If you say so... so like Studman and me drive out to Mort's okay? I heard about this place from Randy like -- "

"Randy is how you knew about Mort's?" Big Hank saw puzzle pieces falling into place.

"Yeah, I thought you figured that out when you were doing your show!" Joel looked around, seeing just about everyone now is various states or arousal "and man you shoulda seen Studman in action!"

"Hank what did you do?" Billy looked at him, a bit shocked, a bit betrayed, a bit interested.

"Sorry bud, but no secrets remember?"

"Fuck..." Billy wanted to stop his ears, but at the same time, the thought of Big Hank doing things, well it was like Friday in the backyard all over again. Nothing got his nut more than seeing Big Hank "performing".

"I fuckin can't believe you want all this in the open!" Joel looked at Big Hank, who was lying there like this was the most normal thing. Yeah, lying there with his crotch showing hard dick, his two hands full of cock, yeah real normal. But Joel hated to admit this was looking less and less like "beat Joel to a pulp" and more like "orgy at Billy's" every second. And he would be an idiot not to keep it heading in that other direction, "man Studman was doing major freakin when he heard what he was gonna do--"

"Do what?" from Billy, who was trying to keep Big Hank's hand from moving and getting him more aroused.

"Shut up and I'll tell ya, seeing as how everything's out in the open now" he grabbed his own cock "right?" He waited for Big Hank to bark at him, but when he didn't he kept his hand there, more to stop the throbbing than to bring him closer "yeah he turned green when he comes out of the changing room onto the stage, seeing the lights and cameras. He and Mort are wearing wrestling gear -- that was the idea of those guys we don't wanna name okay? -- and they start out doing some posing to get Studman here relaxed, in the mood kinda for what comes next" he looked at Big Hank "you want them to hear the rest?"

Big Hank just nodded, his right hand now scooping up some of the sweat and lotion from his belly and starting to smear it up and down Mannie's cock. Mannie made a grunt of shock and disapproval but Big Hank just whispered "chill out" and started the slowest, slightest up and down motion on that big smooth brown cock. Mannie let out a hiss and shut his eyes.

"Okay Studman starts bragging about all his wrestling tournaments, strutting around with his chest out, falling right into the trap and then they tell him to start stripping down, right on camera, in front of us -- "

"Who was all there?" Big Hank's hands stopped.

"You saw them" Joel's hand also stopped "Randy, like I said, and some of... them."

"You remember any of their names?"

"Yeah one had a name about a mile long... but they were callin him Aldi or Yaldi or something..."

"Finish the story."

"Shit..." Joel folded his arms, seeing he had center stage now "yeah they made him keep stripping down, the cameras rolling, that Mort guy even taking some regular stills, until Studman here is totally naked. Then the fun starts. Mort disappears and comes back playing a coach or something, and he does this role-playing shit where he's a coach and Studman here is one of his wrestlers and Coach was catching him jacking off" Joel's hand slipped back to his crotch "and they do this whole scene for the cameras, getting him hard in spite of himself -- "

Ain't ya forgetting something?" Big Hank's left hand could feel the wetness of Billy's pre-cum dripping off the head, so he stopped that hand and concentrated on making sure Mannie was getting up to full hard "like..."

"What?"

"Who was the other person on stage besides that Mort guy?"

"Shit you want them to know?" Joel looked at Moose who was not gonna like this one bit.

"Tell'm!"

"Okay..." he looked at Moose, trying to keep the brag out of his voice "yeah they had me on stage with the Studman for a while -- "

"What did you do!?!?!" Billy, not Moose, yelled out.

"Nothing like I would have liked" he looked at Moose "or anyone else who had the chance. Just enough to get him boned, then they kicked me off stage. But I got to watch when Studman here got the green goo" looked at Billy "yeah THAT green goo! and seeing him get buttplugged on camera, man..." his hand could not stop a steady pressing into his cock "and another cockring on that monster dick, man they had him so sexed up for the cameras anyone would have creamed just seeing it!" he looked around seeing everyone, even Jeff and Hank off to the side, were full boned "yeah you all got the picture. Well by the end of the night there was cum everywhere, even that Mort blew a load in spite of himself. Am I forgetting anything?" he looked at Big Hank.

"No that's more or less the story" Big Hank pulled his hands away from Billy and Mannie, readjusting his own crotch.

"If y'don't believe me Studman here has a copy of the show from that night, am I lying?"

Big Hank looked around "he's not..."

"Fuck..." Moose got to his feet, no shame, waving his shaved crotch, his cock hard and dripping, in front of Big Hank "what'I gotta do to see that? I'd give my left ball -- "

"Easy there Moose" Big Hank looked at his front "maybe we should be callin YOU studman..."

"Well I'm glad you're joking -- "

"Who said I'm jokin" he looked at Ern "sorry bud but you know I think Soulman here's too hot for words."

"Well sit down before ya poke somebody's eye out with that pole" Big Hank joked "but thanks for the compliment" he looked at Billy "even Billy here's never seen the tape. Shit before today he had no idea about any of this shit. You have any idea how I felt about you finding out about this shit? I thought you'd deck me -- or worse -- for sure. Okay I was blackmailed but..." he looked at Joel "it didn't take someone as boneheaded as Joel here -- "

"Hey!"

"You heard me, if he could expose me anyone could expose me, know what I'm saying? And if any shit happened to me, you were gonna get caught in the wake, you get it?" Big Hank looked around the yard "and I had NO idea about any of you guys until my -- shit -- until someone told me there were some high school kids involved in something--"

"What'd you hear Hank? What's happening? Is all this gonna blow up?" Moose looked around at the guys "cause if so, I'm the one who's gonna fall hardest!"

"Why's that Moose?" Big Hank looked around "or do you want your friends --"

"Fuck they were all there!"

"Where?" Big Hank looked at Billy "was it Mort's?"

"Fuck NO!" from Moose a bit too loud "you can figure it out. It was at the doc's!"

"But you said you never had one of the these sex exams!" Big Hank removed his hands from both crotches "so what gives?"

"Hank I wanna tell ya..." Moose looked at Ern then at the rest, making a point of giving Joel a mean stare "but..."

"But what?" Big Hank stood up and came over to where Moose was moving off to the side "you don't want these guys to hear what -- "

"It's not them" Moose was visibly shrinking so close to Big Hank "they fucking KNOW! They were there, okay?" Moose could not look Big Hank in the eyes "you're gonna think..."

"I'm gonna think what?"

"C'mon Soulman y'know how I look up t'ya! After this you're gonna think I'm... dirt! okay?"

"Look bud" Big Hank grabbed him by the slabs of shoulder muscles "if you can still look up to me after what you heard" he raised Moose's jaw so he had to look him in the eyes "and saw! from what you said -- "

"Look I didn't mean -- "

"Billy has some explaining to do but" Big Hank held him tight "but we're still gonna be buds okay? It ain't gonna change nothin. Just like anything you say is not gonna make me think less of you okay? You were forced --"

"I WASN'T forced okay?" Moose pulled away and jumped into the pool. Big Hank was right behind him.

When they both surfaced, Moose was in the shallow end,

"Okay? Nobody forced me okay?"

"C'mon Moose" from Hank who had come over to the pool "of course you were. You were the Virgin Sacrifice thrown to the Cannibals!"

"Maybe... at first..."

"Look Moose y'gotta tell me okay? In your own words" Big Hank slid out of the pool and held his hand out to Moose "and nothing you can say will make me think bad of you okay?"

"Promise...?" Moose sounded like a little kid suddenly.

"Soulman always keeps his promise" and Moose took his hand. For a split second it looked like Moose would topple Big Hank back into the pool but Moose let himself forget what a super wrestler he was, and how he knew everything there was to know about leverage and weight distribution. Moose was slowly eased from the water.

"Like they said..." Moose looked around and just barely grabbed the towel Ern tossed him "they were all there."

"Where?" Big Hank asked.

"I gotta tell this okay? So no one interrupt of I won't get it out" and Moose went and sat down next to Ern in his regular chair. Big Hank noticed that Joel had taken his seat between Billy and Mannie and was gulping down several mugs of water. At first Billy tried to push him from the seat but Big Hank waved him away and went and stood behind Moose, his hands resting on his shoulders.

"Well like they said, like I said, I was outa town when all this shit started to happen so I had no IDEA what was goin on when the coach called -- no shut up okay? -- and told me to get my butt down there that Saturday, shit it seems like that was months ago but it was only... what July? end of July right? So I just about shit when I walked in are there's the whole team -- "

"Not the whole team -- sorry" from Ern next to him.

"Y'right, it wasn't everybody, just the upper weight classes -- the juniors and seniors only right?" he looked around.

"Yeah you're right" from Billy "the little guys like Pete and Jerry and all the soph's -- hell they ain't even had exams I know about -- Joel?" he spun around "you see any younger guys at the doc's?"

"Fuck no!" Joel looked around "only adults since I been there! I ain't never seen no little kids -- "

"No I mean like teenagers?"

"Fuck no!" Joel looked around "were they supposed to be there?"

"Sorry Moose you were saying" Big Hank looked around and went back to rubbing his shoulders.

"Okay so I when I got there 'almost' the whole team was there but it looked like a fuckin convention! okay? And then when we went into that exam room -- what you guys call the main room -- there were like all these guys there already okay? Even some of our dads..."

"Who Moose?"

"My dad for one" from Billy "yeah he's deep in this shit too!"

"So's my old man" from Mannie looking around "shit guys you all saw him there I'm not outing him or shit."

"Yeah and some others..." Moose turned his head to catch Big Hank's reaction "you get the idea?"

"So all you guys had to... perform?"

"Not really" Moose faced forward again "it was mainly me and that musclestud... Billy?"

"His name was Mark something" Billy cut in "maybe Joel here could look up his file."

"What'd he look like?" from Big Hank.

"Shit like a fuckin ad for Gold fuckin Gym is what" Moose went on "you know him?"

"Yeah if it's the same guy he was at Mort's, ain't that right Joel?"

"You mean that Mark you did the wrestle thing with?" Joel looked at Billy "well he was a friend of Kroos so it makes sense."

"Go on Moose. No more interruptions sorry."

"Well at first it's just me on stage, with the guys here watching like they're the jury or some shit. And then this fuckin bidding thing starts -- no I'll explain -- they have this list of things I... y'know... gotta do... or later Mark hasta do... and the guys sitting and watching, they bid on it okay? And if I can make more money the team gets to wrestle that year, but if that Mark guy makes more money then he gets the money and we're fucked" Moose looked around "well we got fucked anyways... or..." he looked at the ground "I did anyway" he stood up and looked at Big Hank "yeah you heard me right. I let... guys... lots of guys... fuck me in the ass in front of everyone okay?" he threw himself down into the chair and hid his face in his hands "so you know what a fucked-up scumbag I am okay?"

"Hank if you had seen Moose you would be as proud of him as we all are" from Mannie to the shock of everyone "yeah dudes he was fuckin awesome! Yeah Moose you were! At first they were doin everythin they could to break his balls y'know? to grind him down! But Moose here showed'm! He made all the money he needed to, and then just to show them who was really the king he... well... let's say they were the ones left that afternoon lookin like punks! not Moose!"

"How bad was it?" Big Hank could feel the muscles in Moose's shoulders tense with the memory "Billy?"

"Bad, it was pretty bad."

"Compared to...?" Big Hank looked around.

Billy looked around the group "sorry Hank but they know. They saw the fuckin tape my dad made from up there!" he pointed at his bedroom window and Mannie just about fell out of his chair "they saw what the scene was like Friday afternoon with Gus and all you guys... working... 'hard' -- "

"They saw?" Big Hank was more amused than pissed "you showed them?"

"No it was an accident. Moose grabbed a tape from the camera and it wasn't blank. I tried to get it out of the machine but once Moose recognized you -- sorry Moose -- well he went ape-shit seeing you, seeing you like that -- "

"Okay now y'got two reasons to hate my guts okay?" Moose tried to pull away from the hands on his shoulders, but Big Hank pulled him back.

"I don't hate ya, figure it out ya big lug!"

"But Hank I'm trying to tell ya compared to what Moose had to do, what I made you guys do that day was kindergarden okay? I'm a fuckin amateur compared to those guys" Billy said.

Big Hank looked around, and down at Moose. Then he looked at Joel,

"Did you know about all this?"

"Fuck no!" Joel panicked and looked at Mannie who was the biggest, closest threat. Mannie gave him a scowl but that was the worst.

"And you still work at the doc's right?"

"Yeah... I guess... why?"

"Well Moose here got to see me in my tapes, and I think it's only fair I return the favor" Big Hank pulled him back as Moose tried to protest "just before I burn the muthers!"

"What?" from all directions.

"I don't gotta tell you guys as long as those tapes are loose you're all sitting ducks!"

"But we looked for them!" Billy looked at Joel "right?"

"Yeah, Billy and me we went through the whole office and we can't find them! Anywhere!"

"So you sure they ain't at the doc's anymore?" Big Hank's hands were resting on Moose's shoulders, keeping him still.

"Honest Hank" from Billy "we looked everywhere they might be and there's no place left for them to hide! Shit they would probably fill up several trucks by now!"

"What?" from Big Hank and several others.

"You guys got no idea what's been happening at the doc's" Joel cut in "I don't know what went down with you guys, or that fund-raising thing with the Moose there" Joel would not look him in the eye "but the last few weeks it's been non-stop guys coming through there, day and night. Billy you've seen the appointment book haven't you?"

"But the people during the day, that's gotta be legit right?" Billy turned to Joel "no way Nurse Nasty would put up with that shit!"

"Who?"

"She's the nurse receptionist during the day" Billy looked around "doubt if any of you ever saw her, she's normally gone before the 'good stuff' starts.

That's why they got me and Joel here to 'help out' you could say -- "

"Billy damn, you didn't read the book did you?"

"N-n-n-no not really" he looked at Big Hank "I just assumed--"

"Damn it's filled with the names of guys" Joel looked around "and a lot of the names are guys we know!"

"From school?"

"School, stores, the Y, all over town! So there are carloads of these tapes somewhere!"

"Joel it has to be slowing down by now!" Big Hank looked at Billy "Billy you haven't been in lately so it can't be that busy."

"Yeah... well... we were both in last night..." Billy looked at Big Hank and the light bulb went off "SHIT!!!!"

"What''s the matter?" Joel and Moose and Hank jumped out of their chairs. Mannie's eyes flew to Billy's window. Billy looked at Big Hank "last night!

That guy that was there!" he looked at Joel and nodded at Big Hank "look like anybody we know?"

"Billy stop now--" from Big Hank who was moving away from Moose fast.

"But he had a different name Hank, he wasn't your brot--"

"Billy drop it!"

"No Hank, no secrets remember?" Billy went to meet him half-way "that guy was your BROTHER wasn't it?"

"No he's not my brother" Big Hank looked around "but he's... related... yeah."

"Fuck..." Joel came up to meet them "no wonder he looked so fuckin familiar!"

"And no wonder you busted butt to get over here today" from Moose also joining them "that's why you called Billy all upset right? That's why you came over today to find out --- shit!" he looked around "don't tell me! Soulman don't tell me he's a COP!"

Everyone froze! They started looking back and forth at each other knowing this was the moment they had all dreaded. Then they started looking around the backyard, expecting helicoptors coming over the housetops, cops and dogs jumping out of the bushes everywhere! Mannie was back in his shorts so fast no one noticed.

"He ain't a cop" Big Hank came up to Billy who was visibly shaking "but yeah, he's asking questions. Lots of questions. Right now I got him to hold off making his report-- "

"You said he wasn't a cop!!!"

"He's not... but... he works with... them, okay?"

"Fuck Hank!" Billy pulled away "what did you TELL him!?"

"Nothing Billy! Okay?" he looked around, especially at Moose "I had nothing to tell him okay? All I knew -- not say! just knew -- is some kid named Joel" he shot a look at him "dragged me into this shit at this porno factory out by P******h and when he mentioned that name I had to find out fast what the hell was going on -- "

"Look guys I didn't know -- " Joel was backing up but soon realized no one was paying him any attention.

"And I told Harry" he looked at Billy "same name?" Billy nodded "to ease up until I get back to him because I knew people" he made sure Billy was looking right at him "good friends of mine who were doing some innocent part-time work there and I didn't want them involved if it turned out something weird was going on" Big Hank looked at Moose "and from what you say, a lot more than 'weird' has been going on there, almost so much for the little you have told me I'm beginning to think what happened to me at Mort's was nothing by comparison."

"One way to find out" from Moose looking at Ern.

"Hey Moose you sure --?"

"Is if we compare tapes like" from Moose looking now at his hero "like we all turn over all our cards if you get my drift."

"C'mon Moose" from Hank "you absolutely sure you want the Soulman here see what they put you through?"

"I'm betting everything he won't despise me more than he does already" Moose got up and slid into the pool. He was quickly followed by Big Hank and Ern in that order.

"I DON'T despise you" Big Hank said as they both surfaced "why you keep sayin that?"

"When I found out I was gonna meet you and all" Moose looked at him "and hang with you... well that was too sweet, but..." he dunked himself "I knew if you figured out where I was coming from... man I think I woulda just died then and there if you knew..."

"Knew you were gay?"

"Man that ain't the half of it" he looked over at Ern "my bud here knows how I look up to you" Ern was nodding and trying to get a word in but Moose just hushed him "and shit when you see the tape you'll see it's not just about getting off on guys..."

"It's not?"

"Just promise me okay? Promise me you won't think I'm dirt okay?"

"Look Moose" Big Hank came up to him and gave him a big bear hug "I don't know what they made you do -- "

"I gotta spell it out?" Moose pulled away "they didn't MAKE me! I... shit..." and he swam to the far end of the pool.

"Moose is afraid you'll think he's... well... let's say at first he was really freaked about what he had to do... but as he got into it..." Ern whispered then dove under the water.

Big Hank dove down and surfaced next to Moose "you saying you're thinking I'm gonna spit in yer face because you ..." he lowered his voice "got off on it? the humiliation? the abuse?"

"Fuck..." Moose looked around trapped "I'd do anything to -- "

"Look..." Big Hank looked back at Joel making sure he was out of earshot "how do you think I felt when I had to do the scene at Mort's?"

"You hated it right?"

"Of course at first..." he looked around then said so quiet even Ern did not hear "but then I... well... got into it, okay?"

"You're fulla shit!" Moose tried to pull away.

"You think I'm lying to ya?" Big Hank grabbed Moose's hand and yanked it to his crotch "this feel like I'm lying?"

Moose's hand made contact with the hardening slab of Big Hank's cock and quickly yanked it away, like he had touched a hot stove. When Big Hank grabbed Moose's bare cock in return Moose just about flew out of the pool.

"Your dick don't lie, and neither does mine" Big Hank looked at Ern "I told ya how they forced me to do things, by myself, with Joel, and Mort -- "

"You had sex with m-- I mean Mort?" Moose was fighting not to let his hand go back to where it was.

"Kinda, yeah there was a scene with your -- I mean Mort" Big Hank gave him a curious look.

"Yeah but... I mean" Moose forced himself to break contact, and it was the hardest thing he ever did, harder than pulling up all those memories of that Saturday "you can't tell me you didn't hate it, what they were makin ya do and all."

"When they first told me yeah!" he headed for the side and pulled himself up "I wanted to kill somebody, like you for one" he stood up looking at Joel. He quickly realized no one was paying attention to what he was saying, only the prow forcing the front of his shorts out "but hey..." he went over to where Joel was sitting "move yer butt!"

Joel looked around and got up fast. He almost bumped into Moose coming for his own chair.

"It's all shit anyways" Moose threw himself down into his chair, throwing the towel over his head, "we'll never see those tapes anyways."

"Except for Billy's private collection" Joel added, trying to keep the attention away from him.

"Shut UP Merklins" from Hank and Ern at the same time. Jeff looked at Hank like he was getting ready to leave,

"Maybe it's time we go."

"Why you two in a hurry to leave?" Big Hank looked at them "you don't like my company?"

"Ain't that Soulman" from Hank "but now we know you ain't gonna kill Merklins here -- "

"Says who?" from Moose, indicating for Ern to sit down already.

"Funny Moose" from Joel "I was thinking of leaving too --"

"I'd appreciated it" Big Hank looked at Billy "if nobody left til we get all this sorted out. And agree on a battle plan. Especially YOU Joel!"

"Why me?"

"You got a big debt to pay" Moose looked at Big Hank "to Soulman here, am I right?"

"Not just me" Big Hank looked around " but Billy too. He's kept your butt out of trouble as near as I can see -- "

"I don't wanna see anybody in trouble okay?" Billy looked around "even Joel okay?"

"Billy you're cool and all" from Moose "but this minnow is in so deep he's never gonna be in the clear okay?"

"Why me?" but Joel's voice was weaker this time.

"But first we need to put all the tapes we do have in a safe place okay? Like a safe deposit box okay?" Big Hank looked at Billy, then stood up and pulled his jeans over his wet shorts.

"Shit don't leave now!" Billy jumped out of his chair.

"Ain't leavin" he looked around "but I'm gonna get the tape from my Mort's Ordeal and..." he looked at Billy " it would be a good idea you get any tapes you have okay? Like now Billy!" as he headed barefoot down the alley.

As soon as he was out of earshot Jeff started "no way you gonna let him see the tape your dad made are you?"

"I haveta!"

"C'mon Billy, he's gonna go ballistic!"

"I don't think so" Billy was heading for the house "maybe at first --"

Mannie snapped out of his relaxed daze,

"Shit Herms you ain't goin inside are you?"

"Mannie I live here remember?" he laughed and looked around, then saw Mannie coming out of his chair to intercept him "what's your problem?"

"Chill Herm's you might just want to wait that's all -- "

"What's the problem Mannie?" from Hank "why you stoppin --"

Billy looked at Mannie and just caught the half-glance Mannie shot up towards the second floor. He spun around,

"Shit!!!" and headed for the kitchen door.

"Wait Billy stop!" Mannie was right behind him, til he realized he was only wearing the shorts and stopped.

"What's your problem Herrer!" from Hank, trying to get him away from the group, especially Moose and Joel "you know something?"

Mannie grabbed Hank and pulled him aside "don't say a fuckin word to the guys but..." he held Hank's gaze "but we got company... again" and he held his head so he could not look up "Joe's upstairs with a camera again I think -- "

"How did -- "

"Before. From my room upstairs. Saw someone at the window -- "

"You knew this whole time?!?!"

"Like I could say somethin! Especially with Joel getting the truth pulled outa him like, you kiddin?"

"You coulda told Billy!"

"Ain't like Joe's deep in this shit too okay?"

"Yeah but -- "

"No butts" Mannie looked at the group, especially Joel trying to play it cool "we go sit down like nothin's goin down okay?"

"Shit..." Hank went back to Jeff.

"What's up?"

"Just prepare for battlestations okay?" he said to Jeff quietly.

"Now what?"

"Just get ready."

Billy went into the kitchen, checking on the food, and maybe grabbing a bite or two, then headed up the stairs to his bedroom and his secret hiding place. He was not in the room five seconds before he could tell someone had been there. It was the smell alone which gave it away. A combination of sweat and cum. He carefully went to his parent's bedroom and knocked at the closed door,

"Okay dad I know you're home" he knocked and knocked, but still jumped when it opened.

"Billy?" his dad came to the door, wearing a t-shirt and cut-offs. He looked like he had been napping but Billy was not convinced.

"You been home a while huh?"

"What time is it?" his dad yawned and stretched. That's when Billy noticed the bed did not look messed in the least.

"Long enough for you to get an eyeful, dad."

"Billy!" Joe tried to look stern.

"C'mon dad. Mannie saw you at the window okay?" Billy looked around the room "and it reeked in there like when I been beating off okay?"

"Billy! You can't -- "

"Forget it dad" Billy headed back to his room "don't play innocent, you know what's been going down today, you been listening to the whole thing" he started going through his closet, his dad standing at his door "you know why Big Hank's here, and Joel..." Billy found the box and then carefully spun through the combination on the lock "and dad" he turned to look at him "you know we need your help okay?"

"But Billy -- "

"No dad" Billy reached inside the box and removed the four tapes that were in there, labeled: PICNIC "no 'but Billy' now, you know what this is" holding up the tape "the one you made last Friday -- no don't deny it -- and well this other one -- " he grabbed them both "it's time we get this out of the house now" he started to push past him out the door "and if you been making another one today I'd bring that too okay?" and he started down the stairs "but we need you downstairs okay? It's all out in the open now dad" and just like that Billy left Joe standing at the door, catching his breath, trying to figure out what the hell he was going to do! He knew Billy was all over this now, and maybe it was time he come clean, but not like this! If he had more time! More time to talk with his wife, with the doc's, with those guys at the store. But he knew Billy was already downstairs and heading outside. He sprinted down the stairs two at a time!

Joe tried to catch Billy before he went out the door but was two steps behind,

"Wait! Billy!" he crashed through the door behind him. All heads turned!

"Hey Joe!" from Hank and Moose "didn't know you were home?"

"He just walked in the door" Billy turned to his dad, and fixed stare in his direction, and then towards Mannie as well "ain't that right?"

"Yeah" Joe caught up with them and looked around, seeing several of them, Moose and Ern and Joel, making a comic attempt to throw some clothes on fast "got the other guys to run things for the rest of the day and wanted to -- "

"Wanted to check up on us" Billy went back to his chair "and make sure the orgy didn't start without him" and gave a big loud laugh.

"Billy!" Joe said, turning a beet-red "what do -- "

"It's cool Joe" from Hank "we're all on the same team here remember?" he looked around, making sure everyone was gonna be casual about this "hell even the neighbors are chillin ain't that right Mannie?"

"Hey Joe" Mannie was pulling on his shorts and t-shirt with one hand and trying to shake with the other. Joel was trying to fade into the background.

"And I don't think you remember Joel Merklins here?" Moose was using the chance to guide Joel towards Joe, and at the same time prevent him from finding his pants.

"Hey Joel" Joe shook hands like he didn't already know him "you friend of Billy's?"

"I hope so" he shot a look at Billy who just shrugged. Joel followed Billy's glance and saw Big Hank coming back up the driveway.

"And you remember Hank..." Billy made a point of making sure his dad saw him and what he was carrying.

Big Hank came up the driveway and stopped dead when he saw Joe. He tried to slide the tapes behind him but then Billy blurted out,

"Don't bother Hank. He knows all about it."

"What?"

"I'll let dad explain..." Billy went down the driveway the six steps to Hank and brought him the rest of the way "well?"

"Good to see you again Joe" Big Hank held out his hand as he shifted the tapes to his other hand. As Joe shook his hand, one of the tapes fell to the ground. The label: WRESTLER SEX fell face up. Everyone just stood there waiting for someone to make the first comment.

"Good to see you too Hank" Joe got out after a long long interval.

"Yeah you get the idea" Big Hank picked it up and handed it to him "some guys we know, I think we ALL know" he looked at Joe "thought it was a good idea to making Joel here -- "

"They didn't make me okay?" Joel let out, a sound like a deflating tire now that all the fight was out of him "okay?"

"Well Joel brought me to their attention, let's say and they thought I was porn material..." he looked at Joe "but I'm learning they think we're all porn material..." he grabbed a chair and pulled it next to his and indicated for Joe to have a seat "even you right?"

"What did Billy -- "

"Billy ain't said a word" he looked at Billy and around to everyone to sit down "so I'm askin: you in this too Joe?"

Joe looked around, no one looking at him except Moose and Hank, who just nodded, "it would be real stupid to say no. All these guys here..."

"Joe was at the event, like we said okay?" from Hank "we all just about shit when we went in, to the doc's that Saturday, and in the exam room are all these guys, like we said, and some of our dads were there" he looked at Mannie "we don't have to say all who, but yeah, Joe he was one of the audience, or you wanna back out Joe?"

"Hell no" Joe looked at Billy "everyone knows what we did, what I did that day" he looked at Moose "I ain't proud of what -- "

"C'mon Joe you were a stud!" Moose almost laughed "and Billy here -- "

"C'mon Moose don't -- " from Ern trying to grab Moose's arm. Instead of Moose yanking away or trying to slug him, Moose just grabbed him and pulled him in close.

"It's cool Ern" from Billy "dad and me..." he looked at Joe "well we got an understanding like... don't we dad."

Joe looked around. He knew Moose and Hank were cool with him, but Ern he only knew from that damned Saturday. And Hank was just a guy that could make trouble with Gus, but then he realized, shit, he's in so thick with his kid he won't make trouble. And Joel? Well he was watching before how the guys were going to keep him from doing anything stupid, so...

"Yeah Billy we got...an understanding" he looked around, scrutinizing each face for the slightest sign of a smirk or scowl, but no. Everyone was still trying to relax, now that a "real adult" was on the scene. If anything, some of them were more embarrassed than he was.

"Good I'm glad we're all on the same page finally" Billy picked up the two tapes from Big Hank and put them with his two.

"So where are we going to put these?" Moose was staying far away from them, like they were ticking timebombs, which they were.

"In a bank like you said" from Hank, looking around.

"But whose?" Big Hank looked at Joe.

"I'll take them" came from a soft voice. Everyone turned before they realized it was Ern!

"What?"

"I got a box at the bank" he looked at Moose "no one would look there okay?"

"But Ern c'mon! Your dad!"

"Would never have a fuckin clue okay?" he looked at Moose ignoring the questions coming from all directions "if any shit goes down, they know the Herms here, they know you okay?" he saw the reaction on Moose's face "I'm sorry but you are the first one they'd look for sorry. Soulman here, if half of what he said is true -- okay I believe you -- but he's public enemy number two then okay? I'm just little kid nobody Moose! Nobody!"

"But you were there Saturday just like -- "

"Yeah but I was nothing! I was barely in the picture okay? They'll NEVER think to look in my direction."

"Maybe he's right" Billy looked at his dad "but we can't keep it here anymore."

"Joe?" Moose looked at him "Soulman?" looking back and forth, the two "adults" needing to reach some agreement here.

They looked at each other, "I can't think of anything else?"

"What about your... relative?" Billy looked at Joel then at Big Hank.

"I've been thinking he should only see this stuff if it gets to that point.

Until then we need to figure out a way to find the rest of them -- "

"It's already too late" from Joe.

"What?!?!?!?!" from at least five directions.

"I've seen them..." Joe looked at Billy then around the group.

"What? Where?" all of them were talking at once.

"At the doc's" Joe looked back at Billy "before they were shipped off. Some of us... sponsors... were given a viewing -- "

"You never said -- " Billy was loudest of all.

"No I didn't. I couldn't Bill" Joe said "we were all sworn to secrecy" he looked at Moose "but I can tell you what I saw. Mark -- sorry Moose -- you will be a bit relieved to know your face is blocked out -- all your faces are -- the doc's, all of us -- but..."

"But what Joe?" from Big Hank "what's the problem?"

"Well they're still editing them together and they'll be on their website -- "

"What website?" from the group.

"It's called something like: High School Jocks, or Jock High or something. And it's scheduled to go on-line after Labor Day -- "

"You mean it's not up yet? They haven't started to show -- "

"Not all of it, no" Joe looked at Moose "but your first show, the one where your clothes are auctioned? Yeah, that's already all over the Internet by now -- "

"SHIT!!!" Moose yelled and started pacing around "DAMN!! Fuck I knew it!"

"But Moose it's just that one small part. It's like a teaser, to get people to subscribe to the rest of it okay? The second installment-- with that Mark guy -- will be first week of September" he looked around "and then all of it goes out, ALL of it."

"Why then? Why? What's --"

"Because it's taking more work than they thought. It's a lot of editing, lots of adjusting the images" he looked at Billy "because some of the people running the cameras were not as professional as they thought they were, okay?"

"Shit Billy I was never so glad you are a fuck-up!" Moose stopped pacing then looked at Joe "sorry!"

"It's okay Moose" from Billy, shooting a look at his dad "I think we're all glad I'm not a pro."

"Maybe not at the doc's" Big Hank said, tossing one of his tapes at Billy "but you didn't take these. These are professional quality, man." He was not proud of the results, and everyone felt their relief fade fast.

"You seen these right?" Joe looked at what Billy was holding "but everything's gotta be blacked out right?"

"More or less" Big Hank looked at the ground "but if you look close enough... yeah you can figure out who it is. Hell, the voices give it away if nothing else."

"Same with the doc tapes too" Joe looked at the guys "sorry guys, but yeah.

Like Hank says, your voices can be recognized. They told me they were gonna try to disguise them, but I don't know."

"Shit..." Billy looked at his four tapes "then these are the most dangerous of all" he looked at his dad and then Big Hank and then the Moose.

"Just what are they Billy?" Big Hank looked at him then his dad.

"Well the first one..." Billy looked at his dad "we were tellin ya... it was Friday, when you guys were..."

"Working. Hard. Right?" Big Hank looked at Joe "that was your doing?"

"Yeah well..." Joe looked around "I came home and saw what was going on back here and -- "

"And you got so turned on you thought you'd fuckin FILM it?" from Big Hank, but he was not really angry, more amused than anything.

"Yeah..." Joe looked around.

"Shit Billy you know your dad was such a horndog?" Big Hank was smiling now.

"Not even" Billy looked at his dad "but I got the picture real fast, right dad?"

"C'mon Billy you don't have to advertise it."

"Billy you ain't tellin us you and your old man... been messing around?" Joel could not be more happy to shift the shit to somebody else for a change.

"Joel chill okay?" from Moose, but he caught the nervous look Billy shot to Big Hank.

"So what are the other three then?" Big Hank continued, trying to give Billy a reassuring look "you ain't tellin me you competin with the doc's?" and he saw his joke send a chill around the group.

"Yeah Bill what are they?" his dad picked one up, looking like he could see it right through the box.

"Fuck..." Billy looked at Moose "you don't want..."

"Billy here showed us your tape Hank... by accident" Moose looked at Big Hank "it was my fault, I made him -- "

"You didn't --"

"Yeah I did. In your room remember? With everyone there, even Juan -- "

"Juan?!?!?" Big Hank almost sprayed his drink across the yard "you ain't tellin me-- "

"Yeah Juan was here when we... y'know saw your tape" Billy looked at Big Hank and shrugged.

"No way no fuckin WAY you tellin me he's -- " Big Hank was having none of it.

"Shit Billy" Mannie jumped to his feet "that tape of me and Juan!" and he was starting to juggle the pile of tapes hoping to figure out which one was his.

"Not so fast Herrer" Moose leaned over and stopped him "even if we knew which one was yours you ain't gettin it back!"

"C'mon guys I ain't involved in this -- "

"You keep sayin that" Hank spoke up "but get it through your head you are in this just as deep as all of us okay?"

"Yeah but -- "

"No but's Herrer" Moose yanked the tapes out of his hands and put them back on the table "ever since that first trip to the doc's you are 'involved' okay?" he looked at Billy and the rest "and yeah since we got you and Juan foolin around on tape -- "

"Billy you talking about the same Juan?" Big Hank looked at Mannie "Juan who helped us--"

"Yeah 'our' Juan."

"No way he's into this sex shit -- "

"Shit... King Kong?" Moose looked at Ern then turned red "sorry but..."

"King Kong?" Big Hank looked at Moose then Billy "what?"

Billy looked at Moose and they both shut up. Joe looked at his son, "Billy?"

After several moments of chairs scraping and throats being cleared Joel said,

"Okay Hank from what I seen you and Moose here seem to be packing jumbo extra large, okay? But sorry you two, compared to Juan, you both look like my ten-year-old kid brother -- "

"What?!?!" from Big Hank but Moose was memorizing the tiles on the ground.

"Yeah it's like somethin" Joel looked at Big Hank "no insult but he's the one should be out at Mort's makin the movies. Shit if I had that dick all I'd be doin is screwin."

"You guys..." Big Hank looked at Billy "you all been doin it with... Juan?"

"Shit Juan only has the hots for Billy here" Joel saw his chance to stir things up a bit.

"Fuck you minnow" Moose shot "but you were the one who -- "

"ShutUP Moose!" Joel shot back, ignoring his position.

"What went down Joel?" Big Hank gave him a slow steady look.

"Why don't ya have Billy -- little mister film-everything -- he can show you" Joel tried to reach the tapes but Moose grabbed him first "it's in there ain't it Billy?"

"Billy what's all this?" Joe was trying to play the dad all of a sudden "you and your friends been filming each other having se-- "

"C'mon dad" Billy looked at him "a little late for lectures don't you think?"

"But Billy -- "

"Geez dad" Billy kept it up "it's not like you weren't upstairs before havin a little wankfest watchin -- "

"Billy stop!" from both Jeff and Hank, looking at Joe who was not cringing as much as they expected "it's your dad for crissakes!"

"And it's too late for the innocent shit, okay dad?" Billy's voice was not mad, more impatient "we've talked about this to death for cryin out loud!"

"But still Billy he's your dad" Big Hank looked at Joe "cut him some slack okay?"

"Besides" Joel kept working the opening "he was probably too busy just now, watching you guys bust my balls to think about getting the camera again, right Mister Herms?"

Joe looked at Joel, with a mean angry glance, then he smiled "yeah, but you gotta admit you were askin for it!"

"Shit NO!" Joel was hoping for an ally and seeing his ploy unraveling now "you saw what they did!"

"So that was you in the window!" Mannie looked at Joe "I thought I saw -- "

"I thought for sure you saw me" Joe looked at him then Billy "and I got the hell away from there fast. I knew you were gonna tell Billy for sure, but when no one came upstairs..." he looked at Billy and then back to Mannie "well it seems to me you didn't want the old man breaking up the fun, am I right?"

"Shit..." Mannie looked around, then at Joel.

"You ASSHOLE!" Joel was coming at Mannie but Moose stopped him "you knew all along?"

"What if I did?"

"Joe here coulda stopped it!"

"But he didn't" Mannie looked at Joe "did you?"

"Well..."

"My guess is I'm not the only one gets off on seein a punk like you get worked over" he looked at Joe "shit don't gotta say nothin" he looked at Billy and played his card "bet your dad... bet he'd really enjoy seeing the part where Joel here got buttfucked by King Kong -- "

"What?!?" from both Joe and Big Hank.

"You tellin me Juan was... screwin... you?" Big Hank looked at Joel.

"Forget it!" Billy cut in "it's gone -- "

"What?" from the group.

"The fuckin camera ran outa tape long before -- "

"So you don't got me and Juan -- " Mannie just about lifted out of his chair he was so relieved.

"Sorry that's ALL we got" Billy looked at his dad "you knew when you came home that somethin was goin on upstairs in my room! You were so freaked you made up that whole thing about the pizzas."

"Or else he was too freaked because the party started before he had a chance to-- "

"Joel shut UP!" from Big Hank for a change "so Billy you tell us -- you saying everyone here" looking at Joe then the rest of the group, even Ern "has some goddamn tape hanging over our heads..." he looked at Joel "except you?"

Billy looked at his dad "okay the truth now. You didn't film before, when we were torturin -- "

"No..." from Joe, almost disappointed.

"Torturing is right!" Joel looked around, then panicked "SHIT!" he looked at Billy "c'mon Billy there's all that stuff at the doc's and -- "

"But WE don't have those ones right?" Moose looked at Mannie "even Herrer here's on tape, makin sure he don't go and do somethin stupid..." he looked at Big Hank "but shit no. Merklins here could bust all of us if -- "

"You know I CAN'T -- " Joel looked to Billy: bail me out here!

"No we DON'T know" Moose looked at Big Hank "none of us know! And from what the Soulman here tells it, you are one shitty little dirtbag!"

Joel tried to make a break for it, but first Big Hank grabbed him, then Moose. Just as Joe was about to intervene, Moose held up something "forgetting something?" holding Joel's wallet.

"Gimme that!" he made a lunge for it, but Moose yanked it out of his reach.

"C'mon Moose give it to him" Joe looked at Billy "this has gone far enough."

"Moose ain't wrong here" Billy looked at Joel "c'mon Joel, I know you are too deep in this shit to say anything, but THEY don't okay?"

"Billy you can't -- "

"Sorry Joel we're not playin" he looked at Big Hank, then at everyone, finally his dad "everyone here has too much to lose -- "

"And I don't?!?!"

"You can start by giving Moose your pants" Billy looked at his dad, like: stay outa this "I don't think you'll get to far like that. And Hank check his car for the keys."

"No wait!" Joel tried to pull free, looking at Joe for help.

"Billy, Hank, this ain't right" Joe tried, looking at Big Hank, the other "adult" there.

"Maybe, maybe not" Billy saw Hank slowly get up and head for the driveway, more or less decent "but it's your ass I'm trying to protect here too okay?"

Hank stopped half way down the driveway "Ford pick-up right?"

Joel looked around, trying to put on his brave face "damn!"

"Or we can get the ice cubes again" from Moose this time.

"Fuck!" Joel gave a last look to Joe, but saw Joe was not going to play "damnit...yeah, the red Ford pickup okay?" and Hank was gone.

When Hank returned, jingling the keys he tossed them to Jeff, in part to keep them away from Moose, who was getting a bit worked up again.

"Okay Joel we're waitin" Mannie nodded at Joel's pants "lose the pants" he looked over at Joe "don't think Joe's gonna get grossed at this too much, right?"

Joe looked at Billy and played his last card "Billy maybe you could help me get the grill started..."

"Shit!" Joel turned three shades of white "you don't mean -- "

"Fuck you Merklins" Moose looked at Billy all smiles "you too ugly to cook.

Billy you tellin us it's feedin time?"

"You wanna help us -- "

"No. Me and Ern here gonna keep our eyes on Joel" he looked at Ern seeing how red he was "time to cool off?" nodding at the pool.

Hell yeah" Ern was out of his chair in a heartbeat.

Merklins you joinin us?" Moose relieved Big Hank of his prisoner.

"Naw that's o-- "

"You JOINING us?" Moose's voice made it clear no was not an option.

"Okay okay" Joel felt the circulation in his arm being cut off. He slowly broke free and headed for the pool.

"You forgettin something?" from Big Hank.

"What?"

Big Hank pointed at his pants "lose'm Joel."

Joel looked around, seeing Joe and Billy already inside, two allies short. He looked down at his waist, then gave up. He unsnapped his pants and shoved them down and stepped out of them. Moose grabbed them before he changed his mind. He put them with the rest under his towel. Joel was heading for the pool when Moose bellowed,

"Hold it!"

"Now what?"

"Shit Joel, you can't wear those in the pool!" pointing at his rather dirty, stained shorts "it looks like you been pissin them all afternoon!"

"C'mon Moose y'said I -- "

"Well I'm sayin now strip'm before you mess up Billy's nice clean pool."

"Shit you guys been goin --- "

"Strip!!" Moose barked, knowing Joel would cave in. He did.

Joel looked around and seeing some curious expressions, just turned his back on everyone and slipped them off and dove in. Mannie and Big Hank looked at each other and shrugged. Jeff turned to Hank,

"You thinkin of leaving?"

"Let's eat first, then yeah..." and gave him a soft punch "don't know about you but we could be over at my place hittin the weights" and winked.

Billy and his dad emerged from the kitchen not saying a word but managed to get the grill going in silence. Joe did not look angry, more determined. Billy on the other hand looked liked they had been arguing in the kitchen and were now in a stalemate. The only one in the group who was not on edge was the ever-chill Mannie, who had moved his chair to the optimal spot in the sun, and was working on his less than all-over tan. Several times he wanted to lose the shorts but with Mr. Herms around, and with Joel's scene going down, it seemed like a bad idea, weird and complicit at the same time.

At one point Hank and Jeff joined the threesome at poolside It was not long before Joel started to enjoy himself, almost. Moose caught him stealing a few peaks at his clothes and Moose made a point of dunking him each time. By the time Joe was putting the burgers and hot dogs on the grill Joel had given up, almost.

Big Hank and Mannie were having a quiet conversation when Hank eased out of the pool and went to help Billy in the kitchen. Again Billy had things under control. And it helped that Big Hank brought all the potato salads and sides ready-made from the store.

So in less than a half-hour they were all sitting down and stuffing their faces with food. Everyone except Joel.

"Hey Joel, you're welcome to join us y'know" Joe shouted with a mouth full of burger.

"Thanks... but..." Joel was hugging the side of the pool.

"C'mon out before ya start... shrinkin" Big Hank jabbed Billy in the side and started laughing.

"It's okay..."

"C'mon Joel, there's plenty of food here" Billy winked at Big Hank "what's the problem?"

"Joel's suddenly got religion" Moose was already on his third burger "ain't that right?" he shouted at the pool.

"Funny Moose" but Joel was staying put.

"C'mon Joel outa the pool and get some food before the boys here inhale everything" Joe laughed but saw Joel looking nervous.

"You heard the man" Big Hank looked at Joel "outa the freakin pool!"

"You know I can't!" Joel looked around and then at Joe.

"Why not?" Joe looked around, but settled on Billy.

"He ain't exactly dressed for dinner" Moose tried to keep a straight face then broke up. Several other guys started laughing too.

"Okay you guys" Joe looked around "what's goin on here?"

"Well Joel here's been skinny dippin in your pool Joe" Moose looked around "we tried to stop him knowing how you feel about that stuff" and again he cracked himself up, bits of bun flying down his chest.

"You guys..." Joe looked at the pool "c'mon out already. Billy get Joel a towel -- "

"Naw he's fine like that" Big Hank looked at Joe "Joel outa the pool now!"

Joel looked at Billy, but when he saw no help coming from that quarter, he looked at Joe who was not so much smiling as watching very closely. After a deep breath he slowly pulled himself from the pool, his naked torso pale and sheeting off the water,

"Y'happy now?" he got to his feet, looking around for something to wrap around his tightly bunched genitals.

"Come and get some food now" Big Hank looked over at him "we'll take care of that shrinkage later" and several guys could not help but snigger.

"Enough you guys" Joel was looking around and started to reach for a towel.

Big Hank pulled an empty chair next to him at the table "leave it Joel. Now get your wet ass over here! Now! Or you want me -- " and he started standing up.

"Shit okay OKAY!" and Joel shook off as much water as he could and went over to the group, feeling all eyes on his front. He knew they were making a point of his nakedness, with him the only one undressed. It put him at a huge disadvantage, knowing how he looked, especially in front of Joe. And damn, but if Joe could not keep his eyes off his crotch! In another situation Joel might have played up to Joe, but he did not want that night at the docs' to be common knowledge. Hell, Joel could imagine he was doing it to protect Joe but.. He quickly snapped out of it and started grabbing food as it passed by him. And fuck, he forgot how hungry he was! And after the third glass of lemonade he remembered how dehydrated he had gotten, what with the sweating and the swimming. But Billy was all over him, passing him pitcher after pitcher whenever he saw his glass half-empty. Fuck, but if it had been booze he woulda thought he was trying to get him drunk!

The group continued to pack away the food until Joe made a point of removing the last burger from the grill and waving it around like he expected them to bid on it. Several guys, like Moose, got quiet and then Joe realized he hit a sore nerve. But it was not long before the joking and the ribbing started up again, always returning to "Birthday Boy", Joel's new nickname, since he was wearing his birthday suit. Moose could not get enough of taunting him with it, and after a while even Joel was laughing along. The only one who heard the phone ring was Joe.

He looked at Billy and carefully made his way back to the house. Billy assumed it was something bad so he followed his dad into the kitchen after a few minutes.

"Problem?" Billy was looking outside at the group, dreading the idea of sending them flying at a moment's notice.

"It was your mom" Joe was casually putting things into the frig.

"Shit!" Billy looked around, panic all over his face.

"It's fine Bill" Joe looked over his shoulder "and language? remember?"

"Sorry" Billy almost laughed, not that old crap again "so???"

"She called to say she got into Chicago fine" Joe looked at Billy like he was explaining the obvious "that's all... okay?"

"Wow..." Billy sat down "I was expecting -- "

"You were expecting what?"

"Hell I don't know..." Billy started wrapping things up absentmindedly.

"Well she sends a big kiss and wanted to remind you to stay out of trouble okay?"

"Well with you here" Billy gave his dad a punch "how much trouble can I get into?" and was out the door.

Billy rejoined the group, finding them playing some weird variation of spin-the-bottle. Of course as soon as he sat down, it ended up pointing at him.

"So what?" Billy looked around, seeing them all break into smiles "what???"

"Your turn" Big Hank looked at the group "right now the vote's four to three -- "

"Vote for what?" Billy looked at Joel who was not too happy.

"We're voting on whether we let Joel here get dressed and go or not" Big Hank looked around.

"Funny" Billy looked around "shit you ain't serious?"

"C'mon Billy we're pals remember?" Joel looked at Big Hank and Moose, his twin prison guards.

"Okay who're the three?" Billy looked at Big Hank.

"Well Joel of course" Big Hank high-fived Moose "and Ern for some weird reason" Ern just shrugged "and Jeff, after some discussion" he looked at Jeff and Hank.

"I'm just playing the spoiler here okay?" Jeff looked at Hank. Billy got the impression they were goofing around but there was something between the two of them.

"And now it's your turn" Big Hank looked back to Billy.

"Damn..." he looked at Joel "sorry Joel but I know how my dad's gonna vote on this -- "

"You backstabber..." but Joel was keeping his hands in his crotch trying not to look scared.

"So I gotta vote with the majority."

"Allright Herms!" Moose was slapping him on the back and Big Hank gave him a friendly slap on his shoulder "tie is broken! Joel, you're ours now!"

"Shit... first ya feed me now... what? now y'fuck me?"

"Good idea!" from several voices.

Joe had come out of the kitchen and was getting back in his chair, "so what's all the cheering about?"

"Well we just took a vote" Big Hank looked at Joel "to see if Joel gets to go free now or not -- "

"Well I'm voting he goes free" Joe looked at Joel "no doubt."

"Yeah we already counted on that" Billy looked at Big Hank "so it's still five-four he stays -- including you."

"No Billy that's not right" Joe looked at Big Hank "c'mon Hank enough's enough."

"Billy... we've had our fun and thanks Joe, for feedin us but now..." Big Hank looked around settling on Joel "it's time to get the camera down here" he looked at Joe, waiting for the protest.

"No! No more filming!" from both Joe and Joel.

"He's right dad" Billy spoke up before the arguing got worse "don't you remember or were you upstairs for that part" Billy underlined "upstairs" and narrowed his eyes "everyone here has some shit" he looked from face to face then zoomed in on his dad "some blackmail hanging over his head, everyone except Joel here -- "

"But all the stuff at the doc's -- "

"Which is who-the-fuck-knows-where right now okay?"

"C'mon Billy -- "

"So the only one not going into the bank vault is our good bud Joel here remember? That's why..." Billy got up and headed for the house "it's Time" and he headed into the house. Joe stood up to go after him but Big Hank grabbed his arm "relax Joe. Remember we're tryin to save your butt as well as all of ours."

"But it ain't fair" Joe looked at Joel who was not protesting as much as he would expect "Joel? You can't tell me you're going along with this?"

Joel looked around, his jaw squaring and his shoulder muscles flexing "like I got a big fuckin say in this" then to Big Hank "but I swear if you come near me with those ice cubes -- "

"No ice cubes. Ground rules okay?" he looked at Moose "okay?"

"You don't let me have any fun" Moose looked at Ern and chuckled. Then he shook Ern to get him to smile "okay?"

"No rough stuff okay?" Ern looked at Moose "like Saturday. Remember how -- "

"No rough stuff. Deal" and Moose in front of everyone gave him a big hug. Ern turned even redder than his sunburn.

"But I think we gotta agree what Joel's 'punishment' should be first, okay?" Ern looked at Big Hank first, and Moose caught the gesture.

"Excellent idea Ern" Big Hank looked at Moose then at Joe "in fact I got a better idea. Joe, y'got any paper and pencils around here?"

"For what?"

"Everybody gets to put one request in the hat and we draw out -- "

"Come ON you guys!" from Joel.

"Even you Joel" Big Hank laughed "one request except: I get to leave. Okay?"

"Funny Soulman."

"And it hasta stay here" Big Hank looked around "not like: Walk naked down Eighth Street, or Go into the police station and piss in front of the cops."

"Man..." Joe looked at Big Hank "you got one evil mind don't ya?"

"Not really" Big Hank looked at the group "got the idea? Now Joe paper and pencil?"

"Yeah but I gotta have veto power here" he stood up.

"Well if you're gonna veto it" Big Hank looked around the group "then we get to vote who else has to do the trick."

"What?" from several, most loudly from Joe.

"If you veto Joel outa the trick, then someone else gotta do it. Maybe even you?" Big Hank was calling Joe's bluff now.

Joe knew he was cornered and he had to save face. He looked around the group then gave the ultimate parent answer, "we'll see" and headed for the house. He met Billy at the door.

"Billy maybe it's not a good idea about the camera any more" Joe said quietly.

"Why? What's happening now?"

"You think you could... y'know just make it look like you're recording but have a blank tape -- no I mean already full tape -- y'know break off the tabs?"

"Maybe" Billy was doing a thousand calculations in his head fast. A solution formed fast "sure. So it looks like we're recording but not?"

"Billy just to be safe okay? No more people need to get hurt okay?"

"Got it pops" Billy pulled a blank tape from the bag and made a point of breaking off the tabs so his dad could see. As soon as Joe left to go into the den, Billy swore to himself and found some duct-tape and re-covered the holes. Sorry pops, but I gotta overrule you on this one. He knew his dad would never find out, one way or the other. But he had to agree with Big Hank and Moose. Joel needed to be reined in right now, and this had to do the trick!

Billy brought the camera out to the patio area in front of the pool and set it up, taking into consideration the shifting shadows in the afternoon light. But he did not have to worry too much since the sun was a bright spot of blazing glare in the growing haziness.

At first Joel make a loud and long protest but when he realized he had no where to go in his birthday suit, he settled in to a long stream of swear words but stayed where he was. Billy gave him a chair in front of the pool and several towels. Joel quickly wrapped himself up like a mummy, sweating like crazy but glad to be covered up again.

Joe returned and passed out sheets of papers and pens to everyone.

"Hey if they get to put their sick fantasies down then so do I!" Joel stood and almost grabbed one from Joe's hand. Moose was the closest and intervened until Joe said,

"In a way he's right" Joe said to Moose and gave them both paper and pens "but remember you two" he turned to the rest "remember all of you, nothing sick or perverted-- "

"Depends what you mean by perverted" Moose looked at Ern and did he actually wink?

"Okay nothing involving physical pain or any bodily damage okay?"

"You tellin me what I went through was not painful?" Moose looked at the group, then started writing as he glared at Joel.

"You know what I mean. No physical damage and I will veto anything that gets too..."

"Too what dad?" Billy was already writing.

"Too... well... nothing extreme, okay?" Joe sat down and held the pen, his hand visibly shaking.

One by one they all wrote something down, some smirking to themselves, some looking alarmingly serious. After a few moments of consulting, Jeff and Hank finally agreed on something and scribbled their comments.

After he jotted down his notes in three seconds flat, Joel got up and headed for the house.

"Where the hell you think -- "

"Gotta pee, dickhead!" Joel was not stopping until Moose intervened.

"When we say y'can Minnow! Now sit yer ass down!"

"No Hank let'm go" Joe looked up from his writing.

"Sorry Joe it's maybe part of his punishment -- "

"And gives me a idea" Mannie was scratching out what he wrote and started scribbling faster.

"C'mon you guys! Joe?" Joel was almost holding himself.

"Guys let him go" Joe tried to be fair "how would you feel?"

"Like the shit he is" from Mannie. Joel saw he was losing this fast.

"Please?"

"Hold it Merklins" from Mannie, finishing his note and giving it to Billy.

Jeff finished second, "Okay now what?" he folded his paper seeing Hank finishing and doing the same.

"Everyone give'm to me and I'll -- " Big Hank started to collect the ones closest to him.

"Why you?" Joel was just about to reach for his not when he stopped.

"Because I'm the one gonna keep your butt outa prison that's why" he yanked it outa his hand before he had second thoughts.

"Maybe I better look at them first, to make sure nothing -- " Joe was the last to hand it to Big Hank, knowing once he did, he was giving his implicit approval to turn his backyard into a porno movie. Again he felt that uncertain grumpling in the pit of his gut, the same one he had at the first meeting with the docs and their associates. He knew he was putting his neck on the line but as much as he hated to admit it, his crotch was overruling his head. The rumbling in his gut was turning into a churning in his balls!

For a split second he almost wrote: I wanna suck off Billy, before he caught himself. He saw himself in front of all Billy's friends on his knees in front of his son, blowing him for all the world to see. But there was no way he could do such a thing, much less admit to it. He could see how Big Hank saw the hesitation, the internal turmoil as he tried to pass it off as disapproval for what Big Hank, for what all of them, was forcing him to do. Forcing him! ain't that a laugh, he thought. He remembered the discussion he had with Billy about what would happen if Joe "accidentally" stumbled into one of Billy's "pool parties." Joe could hardly admit to Billy he would give an arm and a leg to be around for such an event. He looked at Big Hank, his paper motionless in front of him, not so much as a breeze to stir it.

So after a long standoff, everyone seeing the two weighing their respective strengths, Joe finally handed his paper to Big Hank, several breaths of relief heard from the group.

"Okay that's all of them -- " Big Hank sat down and started to read them.

"Wait!" Ern actually put up his hand.

"C'mon Ern y'ain't in class" Hank laughed.

"Wait, Moose's not finished" and he pointed at Moose who was bent over his paper, writing furiously, now and again looking up at Joel with an evil glint.

"Hurry up!" Joel was visibly squirming "you want me to piss right here?"

"C'mon Moose" Big Hank saw the amount he was writing "this ain't a christmas wish list --"

Almost everyone except Joel and Joe laughed as Moose shot up and yelled,

"Finished!" and handed it to Big Hank. On the way back to his chair he gave Joel a big grin "don't mess yerself yet Merklins, today's your lucky day!" and he sat down, elbowing Ern. Ern just gave Moose the weirdest look and whispered "what did you do?"

"What did you write Moose?" Joel was not sure if he should be pissed or scared.

"You'll see..." was all Moose would say, as he watched Big Hank read his paper, look up at him with a strange look, part shock, part smile, part understanding. Then Big Hank shook his head and started sorting the papers.

As he did he signaled Billy to come in next to him.

"What's up?" he looked down at the papers "why are ya re-arranging them?"

"You'll see" he whispered "you got any of these things?" pointing at three or four words on some of the papers. Billy read where Big Hank was pointing and turned a beet-red and whispered back "shit... maybe... yeah."

"Billy could you get some things from my car?" Big Hank said loud enough for all to hear, then whisper again "go to my car then double back inside okay?"

"Ah...eh.. okay..." Billy pulled a t-shirt over his jeans and headed down the driveway.

"No FAIR!" Joel was coming over to Big Hank "what you need that ain't here?

I ain't gonna do nothin -- "

"You'll do whatever we say or..." Big Hank looked around "or any one of us could make your life miserable okay? And all of us together would make your life completely not worth living okay?" Big Hank stood up "after what you did Friday you forfeited any right to say anything except 'screw me!' got it? Or..." he came in real close "you will end up doing this -- and probably worse -- with your friends from the doc's! And Joe or me won't be there to call Time when they start breaking your bones -- "

"Wait right now!" Joe came over "no one's gonna have broken bones -- "

"No Joe they won't" Big Hank looked at Joel "not today. But if that's what Joel wants it's his call. So what is it Joel? You wanna walk?"

"Fuck..." he looked at them "so what is Billy getting?"

"Hank what DID you send him to get?" Joe was half-way between curious and worried.

"It's cool Joe, nothing you haven't seen before" he gave Joe a fixed look, then back at Joel "well? Stay or go Joel!"

"Fuck..." but Joel stood there, shifting his weight from one foot to the other, trying his best to keep himself wrapped up again.

Before anyone else had a chance to get antsy, Billy returned, carrying a gym bag. He plopped down next to Big Hank and nodded, "it's all there."

"Okay Billy it's show time" Big Hank pointed at the camera.

"Wait" from Joe looking around as Billy picked a good spot, directing it at Joel with the pool as a background "this is just about Joel, right?" he was trying to edge out of the picture "I mean, nobody else will be -- "

"We're all in it" from Moose who looked over at Ern "right?"

"Mr. Herms" Ern was trying to keep his eyes off Joe, knowing he had "guilty" written all over himself "I think Moose means... well... we might all have something... I mean a part in this" he looked at Big Hank "can't we?"

Big Hank looked down at what Ern wrote again, trying not to smile "We ALL get to get even with mister Merklins here" he looked around the group then to Joel "but whether we use our fists... or" he made sure Joel could see his face "or something else, well that's our choice, you got it?"

Of course Joel panicked, thinking he was going to be fist-fucked right then and there by the whole group! He started to protest but Joe cut in first,

"Wait! We agreed no violence! No injuries okay?"

"Once and for all it's all cool" Big Hank looked at Joe "and so you don't worry anymore, we'll let Joel here decide. From this point on, you can stop this at any time BUT" he looked around and then at Joe "if you do, IF YOU DO, your role in all of this so far will become public knowldge, it's up to you. Agreed?"

Joel looked around completely outnumbered and outgunned "I already agreed... okay?"

"Billy are we rolling?" Big Hank looked over at the camera, with Billy securely and safely behind it.

"We are rolling" he made no move to leave his spot.

"Okay bud, then you're over here with me and the Quiet One" Big Hank slapped Mannie on his stomach.

"Hey!" Mannie yelled and tried to double over, but Big Hank's arm kept him in place "what the fuck?!?!"

"Wanted to make sure you didn't sleep through the main show, dude."

"I wasn't sleepin" Mannie put on his sunglasses, just in case.

"Fine" Big Hank looked around "well Joel you should be real glad no one here suggested we castrate you or anything like that -- chill Joel! but we got a lot of very creative requests. I would say you guys are not new to this... at all! Don't know what you have all been doing during your summer vacation" he looked at Billy and Joe "but from what you wrote I think all of you have been getting into a lot of things guys your age only dream about" he looked at Moose "and dreams do come true -- "

"And nightmares" Moose looked around then down at the tiles.

"Yes and nightmares" Big Hank looked at Joel "but sometimes dreams and nightmares have a bad habit of overlapping, right?"

"Shit..." Joel stood up, leaving the towels behind. His naked body was starting to burn under the afternoon sun, the sweat making the welts and bruises from earlier more prominent. He folded his hands over his crotch, "unless you want me pissin right here I gotta -- "

"As a matter of fact" Big Hank was shuffling the notes, and stopped to look right at Joel.

"Fuck you ain't -- "

"Hank give Joel his clothes. All of them" Big Hank continued to stare at Joel.

"What?!?!"

"Do it Moose. The sooner you do the sooner our friend here can go take a piss."

"But he's gonna -- "

"Don't worry about that. It's all covered" Big Hank drawled out the last word then to Billy "as soon as Joel's dressed start the camera okay?"

"But wait!" from several voices, except Joel who was already grabbing his pants from Big Hank. He started to step into them when Hank said,

"Your shorts first Joel -- "

"But I just gotta--"

"Shorts NOW!"

Moose tossed them to Joel, thinking the whole show was over. Then why would Billy start filming again? He looked over at Mannie who was having a hard time concealing his smirk. Mannie caught his eye and winked. Joel caught it too!

"Wait! What is this?"

"What's the matter Minnow? Y'like running around bareassed in front of guys? Get them clothes on!"

Joel stepped out of his half-open pants and put on his shorts, then back into his pants, hopping on one foot. He barely had the waist snap closed when Moose tossed him his shirt. He started to protest but threw it on too. He was buttoning his shirt when Moose underhanded his shoes to him as well. Joel stepped into them and was bending down to tie them when he heard Big Hank,

"Okay Billy ready?"

Billy adjusted the camera and hit the button, looking back to his dad, "Record."

"Okay Joel, you said you need to take a piss so here's the first note -- I won't say who -- but you can figure it out. It starts: Joel thinks he can leave so long his clothes are sittin here. He gotta piss so bad then make the muther piss his clothes while he wearin them. Then make him strip off his wet clothes right in front of that damn camera, so we see his piss all over hisself. Then make him -- "

Big Hank had about half of it out before the howls and protests started. Joel seeing his freedom tried to make a break but Moose tripped him up and sent him flying. He had him on his feet before the noise died down.

"No way!" from Joe "that's sick!"

"Don't worry dad" Billy was helping Joel back to his spot between the pool and the camera "ain't like the first time someone pissed the pool" looking at Mannie.

"Fuck don't look at me" he said, then to Joe "besides his pants gonna soak it all up, right Joel?"

"You asshole!" Joel shouted, "let me go!" he broke away from Moose, who realized Joel was not trying to leave anymore.

"You remember your wallet huh?"

"Fuck you" but he stood there, trying to hide a small wet spot already showing at his crotch.

"Damn the Minnow already pissed himself" Moose jumped away, pretending disgust.

Joel stood there, sweating and panting, his shirt starting to discolor with his perspiration under the glare and heat, not the slightest rustle of a breeze to cool his nervous flesh . He put his hands over his crotch, trying to hide the fact he did lose control in his wrestling with Moose. And everyone was staring at him, leering at him. He wanted to crawl into a hole.

"Okay Joel, enough is enough. This is how it's going to be from now on. The camera is rolling in case you forgot. We are going to give you orders. You are going to do them. Understand?"

Joel looked down at the ground, his face grimacing trying to keep his bladder from tightening any more in his embarrassment.

"Do you understand?!!?" Big Hank repeated in a deeper voice.

"C'mon guys..." one last appeal for sympathy.

"Last time. Do you understand?" Big Hank barely whispered.

After a half-minute of squirming, Joel muttered,

"Yeah..."

"Louder."

"Yeah!"

"Say: I understand."

"Okay I understand okay?"

"And you will do what I say?"

"...yeah."

"No more protests?"

"No... more protests." Joel was pushing against his dick trying to stop leaking but could feel another spasm as another warm leak hit his crotch.

There was a hush. Everyone looked back and forth, knowing finally, finally! Joel was defeated.

"Put your hands behind you" Big Hank's voice was soft and deadly.

Joel did it without protest, knowing everyone could see that he was staining his jeans. There were a few muttered comments and a "yeah!" from Mannie.

"Joel... let it go..."

Joel bent his head down, squeezing his eyes shut, not daring to look anyone in the face. At first he thought he could not do it, but once he relaxed the muscle, his urine poured out of him, turning the front of his pants shiny and dark. It spread down his right pants leg and into his shoe. The comments got louder.

"Okay hold it!" Big Hank tossed a towel at Joel's feet "step out of the shoes now and take off the pants. Put them on the towel."

Joel bit his lip to stop the flow. Nothing is harder than trying to stop pissing right in the middle of the stream, he knew but managed to squeeze himself to stop. He carefully unsnapped and unzipped his pants, rolling them down his wet thighs. He kicked out of his shoes and unrolled the wet pants and put them on top of the towel with the soggy shoes.

"Okay stand up" from Big Hank.

Joel stood up straight, his shorts now wet and semi-transparent with his piss. His cockhead, slick and warm, was visibly swollen in his shorts.

"Okay next the shirt."

"Do what with it?"

"Take it off and bunch it in front of your crotch."

"But..." Joel shook his head, and unbuttoned his shirt, his shorts continuing to drip down his legs, but whether he was still pissing or now they could not tell. He pulled the shirt off his chest and make a ball with it, and pushed it into his wet crotch.

"Okay finish pissing if you still gotta."

"Fuck..." Joel looked down at what was once one of his best shirts. But once he started to piss he felt himself spill the last of his urine, running out his shorts and all over his shirt. When he finished, he tossed it on the pile with the rest. Again he stood there, dripping piss.

"Okay lose the shorts Joel."

He knew better than to protest. He pulled down his wet shorts, his pubes now sticky and wet with his piss. His tossed them onto the pile as well, again naked in front of everyone, but now humiliated and stinking of his own piss.

"Billy you wanna toss him some more towels?"

Bill went from behind the camera and picked up a few random dirty towels and tossed them at Joel.

"Clean yourself up before y'stink up the place more. Wrap up all your stuff in those towels. Billy you wanna toss those in the washer?"

"I'll do it" Joe went up and picked up the pile "be right back" and he went into the house with the smelly, but well-wrapped bundle.

"So you won't be worrying about your clothes for a while we will have to keep your mind off them right?"

Joel looked around, and down at himself, hoping they were forgetting about the rest of Mannie's -- yeah it was him smiling over there -- request.

"Billy check the camera."

"We're recording, it's fine" Billy checked the focus and sat down again.

"Okay next sick request" from Joel, but he was rapidly losing the fight.

"Well gentlemen, like I said, there were a lot of creative suggestions for Joel here" Big Hank looked around "and I hope no one objects if we have to do a bit of creative combining, since there were several of the same requests okay?"

"What 'creative combinations'?" Joel was feeling the sweat trickle down his ass now.

"Gentlemen, you won't object if we combine some of your suggestions, since there is a bit of overlap" he looked at Moose "and it seems several of you had the same ideas. And as long as everyone gets their wish? Agreed?"

Ern looked at Moose "y'mean y'got the same requests?"

"More or less" Big Hank looked over at Mannie "except for some creativity."

"Shit what else did Herrer write?" Joel went from angry to scared in two seconds flat.

"In good time" Big Hank nodded at the gym bag "you wanna bring that over here?"

"Right now?" Billy had been sitting, but stood back up, his crotch starting to fill visibly.

"It's cool Billy" Big Hank looked at him "we're all guys here" he winked "and besides we're just getting warmed up remember?"

"I guess" Billly stood up, the front of his jeans a bit bulged out. Moose gave a whistle but that was it. Billy brought the bag over and set it in front of Big Hank. He started rummaging around in it, pulling out a few items. When some of the guys saw what they were, there was a protest.

"No fuckin way!" from Hank and Moose "he ain't even a wrestler!"

"Well unless Joel here got full football gear with him. Joel?"

"Hell you know I don't" he grabbed the items as they were tossed to him. A singlet, a pair of knee pads and a head protector.

"You want me to wear these?" he held them like they were more repulsive than his piss-soaked clothes.

"That's the idea."

As he started to struggle into the them, it became obvious if they were Big Hank's, he had not worn them since he was in grade school! But Billy was a more likely candidate and his guilt was very very obvious.

"While Joel gets... dressed... again" Big Hank stood up "I'm taking a dip. Anyone else?" he looked around "Mannie?"

"Shit yeah" he stood up, his shaved body gleaming with sweat, his lycra shorts tight enough to make sure everyone could see he was enjoying the show so far, but was not blatantly hard. Before anyone could say a word, he went up to Joel and gave his right nipple a twist, and as Joel let out a shout, Mannie was already making a clean dive into the cool blue water.

Hank and Jeff were exchanging shrugs and taking the five steps to the edge.

As soon as Mannie had surfaced they were making twin splashes into the shallow end.

Billy and Ern exchanged looks but stayed put.

"You two go" Moose looked nervous for some reason "I'll keep an eye on this new 'wrestler' here" watching Joel struggle into the singlet, the fabric stretching and discoloring with his sweat.

"What's going on now?" Joe came through the kitchen door, trying to make sense of the scene.

"Hey Joe" Big Hank was walking over to Joe as he was settling back into his chair "we are taking a quick dip while Joel gets 'dressed' for the next act.

You comin in? We don't want you to get heat stroke now do we?"

"Maybe later."

"For crissakes Joe" Big Hank was stripping down right in front of him "it's your pool already!"

"I better wait" Joe was trying to keep his eyes somewhere else. Big Hank's crotch, covered only with his semi-transparent boxers, was now right in front of his nose.

"What's the matter Joe?" Big Hank gave himself a tug or two, fumbling with his wrinkled dick, then scratching his balls "you all shy cause you went commando?"

"Shit no..." Joe's gaze was dragged back "I got on underwear..."

"Well then swim in those!" like he was suddenly camp counselor to the learning impaired.

"Bad idea..."

"Why?" Big Hank looked over to the pool, seeing Mannie and Ern watching the conversation closely.

"C'mon Joe" Mannie spoke out "we don't care if ya splooged yer shorts before!"

"Damn!" Joe looked around, then at Billy.

"C'mon dad!" Billy had dropped his jeans, his hard-on very obvious in his boxers "can't be worse'n me okay?" and he went up to Joel and helped him adjust the head gear, and maybe rubbing his crotch extension against him in the process. Like anyone, except the camera, was going to care.

"C'mon Joe" Big Hank was making a point of keeping his hand in a slow scratch near his balls "you're part of the party too, don't forget."

"Yeah..." Joe slowly got to his feet, the bulge in his pants circled in red pencil, or so it felt to him. With Big Hank making a point of watching his every move, Joe started to unbuckle his pants but then changed his mind.

"Man, Joe" Big Hank nodded and smiled at the bulge showing "this is your scene."

"Hey don't -- "

"Just an expression" Big Hank went over towards the pool "the day's still young. We'll get to know each other better soon enough."

Moose sat still keeping his eye on Joel,

"You make a poor excuse for a wrestler you know that!"

"So do you!"

"At least I don't go around with my balls hanging outa my gear" and he pointed at Joel's crotch. The leg openings were stretched almost to his waist, and no matter how Joel tugged and twisted, either one or both of his balls would pull free. After a while he gave up.

"So what'd you write that took so long?"

"Stick around and find out!"

"Knowing you, you won't be happy til you're slamming that ugly thing up my hole" Joel was trying to sound horrified, but Moose could hear the thickness catch in Joel's voice.

"You wish Merklins" and before he could tell him what he really wrote, the guys were already getting out of the pool, steered by Big Hank.

"Okay Moose your turn" Big Hank took his spot, but making no effort to cover up the totally transparent front of his boxers "we won't start without you, don't worry" he picked up one of the pieces of paper and took it over to Joel, water sheeting down his smooth skin, making a puddle right in front of Joel "and Joel why don't you read this nice and loud so everyone -- even Moose over there in the pool" looking at Moose "can hear you."

Joel took the piece of paper and unfolded it, as Moose went over to the pool and looked over his shoulder. He could see that Joel was too busy turning eight shades of purple to be reading anything soon. He dove in and even had time to frogkick to the far end of the pool, surface and clear his eyes, before he was hearing Joel,

"You can't be serious..."

"Go on, read it."

Joel looked around, then to the camera, then read what Ern wrote,

"Joe's a cool dad and all, but I can't believe he's really into this whole guy thing. I wanna see if Joel can get Joe so turned on hard and all without touching him, then get Joe and then all of us to orgazm. No hands."

he looked at Joe and the whole situation came over him. He looked at Joe's pants covering everything well.

"No hands?" Moose was pulling himself out of the pool, "shit... well you know I didn't write that one!" he looked at the other guys, the ones who were there that Saturday for his "no hands" performance "damn Merklins won't that be a fuckin trip seein YOU do the Sex Circus routine for a change -- "

"Sex Circus?"

"Never mind" Moose looked around "but shit this has gotta be good!"

"You know what this 'no hands' shit means" Joel snapped at Moose "how the hell-- "

"Hell, thought you'd never ask" a very wet and a bit puffy Big Hank handed him another slip of paper "you'll figure out who this one's from. Nice and loud now Joel" but he stood right there, his hand burning into Joel's shoulder.

"Another one? I ain't even..."

Joel unfolded this second paper, then gave a nasty look right at Big Hank, jerking free from his hand,

"You bastard!"

"Read it!"

Joel looked at Big Hank, then the rest of the group, and then at the camera "with the fuckin camera fucking gettin the whole thing, right?"

"With the camera on. Right. They're waiting."

Joel held up the paper again, his voice a bit unsteady "and this is what your big idol, the big jock himself your hero Soulman here wants to wank his pud to, ain't that right? He says, Let's see Joel do the Jock Stud Show. Strip down -- get... plugged" he looked at Big Hank "-- get pumped -- get off. Is that right?"

"You're a smart jock. Of course you know the Jock Stud Show by heart now doncha?"

"But... plugged?" Joel looked around, freaking big time.

"Plugged."

"You mean like you got -- "

"Just like I hadda do at your friend Mort's, you got it" Big Hank looked around "except this time you got yourself a much 'friendlier' audience, and bigger" and he turned his back on Joel, almost daring him to jump him, knowing he would not dare. He slid back into his chair trying to mask his growing excitement.

"Don't bet on it" Joel said under his breath, but Big Hank heard it even from that fifteen foot distance. He had a rough guess how many guys were hiding in the shadows that night, and he counted more guys here. That would only mean that one of those cameras might have been a live-feed. He cringed at the idea, but he could do nothing about it now. Escept making sure that Joel finished the afternoon with a camera full of tapes and a backyard full of emptied balls.

Joel looked around as he crumbled the papers and wanted to throw them in Big Hank's face but realized he was sunk. He was past sunk; he was fucked. Well not yet but he suspected it was all building up to that. Having him get fucked on camera by the whole crew. He started to pull one of the shoulder straps down from where it started to dig a trench into his shoulder muscles.

"Before you strip" Big Hank motioned for Billy to take his previous seat next to him "remember Ern -- I mean someone -- wants to see how worked up you can get Joe here. So why don't you start -- let's see -- Joe anything special you wanna see Joel here do?"

All turned to him, waiting for Joe to come up with something really horndog. Joe looked at Billy and blushed.

"C'mon dad, fantasy okay? What you wanna see?"

"I don't wanna see -- "

"Dad!"

"Let me finish..." he looked around, not looking at Billy, "I just wanna hear..."

"Hear what?" from Joel, burning up in the sun.

"Everything" he gulped out "first, you could do some warm-ups, some flexes -- "

"In this heat? I'm already burning up" Joel squinted his eyes, trying to figure out how long before the sun was behind the building.

"Yeah Joe, now you're getting the idea" Big Hank pointed at the camera, "Okay Joel. Show us -- show Joe here -- how pumped you can get."

Joel looked down at himself, the sweat streaking and stretching the skimpy singlet, his crotch already stinging and chafing. He looked around, then at Joe, then back and forth between the camera and him. He faced him and started to do biceps poses,

"Like this?" he saw Joe reach into his shirt pocket and put on his sunglasses, and then casually put his hands behind his head, leaning back in his chair. His hairy legs stretched in front of him, his knees spreading a bit and he said,

"Yeah, that's good. Workin up a real sweat there aren't ya?"

"I'm dying here okay?" Joel looked to Mannie on Joe's right and Big Hank next to him but they both shrugged. Billy poured another glass of water and put it on the table next to Joel's chair. He was about to pick it up when Mannie said,

"First let's see some push-ups" he looked at Joe "y'like to see that?"

Joe turned to Mannie, his eyes now hidden, "don't mind at all."

"Y'heard the boss" Mannie grabbed his towel and started a slow steady mopping of his chest, "twenty and you can drink yer water."

"Twenty?"

"Get goin before I make it thirty!"

Joel looked at the camera and back at Joe, dropping to his hands. He knew twenty would be easy under regular conditions, but he was getting light-headed and his shoulders still ached from the earlier ordeal. But the time for arguing was gone, so he started a slow steady pumping up and down, actually counting the drops of sweat hit the ground below him. He was past twenty-two when they stopped him.

"Okay Joel stand up now" from Joe, not moving a muscle.

"Enough of this" from Moose "let's get to the real stuff! Like Soulman wanted!"

Joel stood and turned to Moose, remembering what was on the second piece of paper. He looked down at the open gym bag, seeing Billy's "accessories" half-poking out, like toy hand granades waiting to explode. He reached up and tugged on the shoulders straps down, pulling his arm free. He closed his eyes when he heard the whistling start. When both straps were down, and his upper torso bare and free of the strangulating fabric, he heard Joe's voice,

"Billy, you leave your weights our here?"

"C'mon dad I'll -- "

"No, go get a coupla barbells for your friend here" Joe pointed to the pile of loose junk at the far end of the pool "your friend Joel here looks like his arms could really respond to that kind of exercise."

Joe was right. The few push-ups Joel did had a visible effect of pumping out his arms, showing some definition now under the bulk. Billy went over to the pool, passing Moose still hanging onto the side, and fished around in his pile of things. He returned to the group with two twenty-pound dumbbells. He set them down carefully next to Joel,

"Don't you drop these on the new tile or you'll pay -- "

"I'm already -- "

"Just don't okay?" Billy put his hand on Joel's bare wet shoulder, maybe a bit of a squeeze. Joel saw that Billy was serious, but not threatening.

"Okay, deal" he picked both up and looked at Joe "I'm already in deep" he curled one up to his chest, testing the weight "now what?"

"Show the camera you know how to use them" Joe answered.

"And....?" Joel turned sideways away from Joe, starting to bring one then the other up to his shoulders.

"And..." Joe lowered himself further into the chair, "tell us your name."

"You know my -- "

"Go on."

Joel looked over to see Joe's nod, then face forward again, "Joel... Joel Mer-" he was looking right at the camera, damn, Joe wanted to pin him down, and record the whole thing. He was screwed! "Joel... Merklins."

"Your address?"

"Shit..." he muttered under his breath, and closed his eyes, his arms slowing their curls "okay, 1421 north... north seventh..."

"How old are you?"

"Seventeen, okay?"

"Brothers or sisters?"

"One of each..." he kept his eyes closed, not wanting to deal with that eye boring into him.

"Older? younger?"

"She's two years older. He's a couple years behind me. Why you wan--"

"You ever have sex with him?" Joe just blurted it out.

"What!?!?!" Joel lowered the barbells almost dropping them.

"Keep going Joel" Joe's voice was steady and almost soothing "don't stop yet. Your arms look great now, and your chest is filling real... nice..."

Joel continued a slow straining with the weights, hoping he did not hear Joe right.

"Well did you have sex with your brother?"

"No! Of course not! That's -- "

"He never saw you naked?"

"Well yeah, lots of times... shit he's -- "

"You see him naked lots of times too right?"

"Well... yeah" his arms were starting to burn, what was he getting at?

"Naked and... hard?"

"Shit no!"

"You sure?"

"Yeah... well..."

"Well what?"

"It's nothing okay?"

"Tell us Joel."

"Damn..." he was starting to pant, so he brought both weights to his chest, catching his breath, "it wasn't like we were... doing it okay?"

"Keep going."

"Hell... we were just goofing around..." his chest was rising and falling, his heart was beating harder than he wanted "and well... he ain't big like me okay? Well we were just goofing around and the next thing he rolled off the bed and hit the floor. I thought he hit his head or somethin but he was just a bit dazed y'know, and then he... well... he said he bruised his hip so I told him to show me and he... well he pulled his shorts down to his knees -- "

"You fuck him?" from Mannie.

"Fuck you!" but Joel kept going "it's not like that okay? He just wanted to show me where he bumped his hip okay? And he started rubbin it and shit I thought he was gonna start crying'n like go tell the 'rents okay? So I told him to just lay still and it would stop hurting, and then he wants me to rub it..."

"You touched him?" from Joe.

"Of course he's like my brother okay? We are always... y'know banging off each other...so... well I started rubbing some heatrub or somethin into his hip and he said it felt better, and... well..." he opened his eyes and looked at the camera "and that's it."

"You're not finished Joel" Joe was not going to let him go.

"Okay... but he wasn't like y'know... it wasn't like intentional or... shit, okay he's lying there on the rug, and then he rolls over and he's well... shit he's like starting to get hard okay -- "

"Were you touching him there?"

"Hell no!" Joel's arms started to pump the iron again, almost by themselves "he's just a horny kid okay? Well, he looked down at himself and then at me, I thought he'd be all embarrassed like, but he wants to see mine then -- like he hasn't a thousand times before okay? But well, I know he's gonna rat me out to the rents like I hit him or somethin if I don't... so yeah I let him -- "

"You what?" Joe looked at Billy "LET him?"

"Yeah, he started playin with it til I got... y'know I got hard okay? And then next thing I know we're jackin each other... and..."

"You make him cum?" Joe kept going.

"Well... yeah... okay? We both blew real fast, him first, and I thought he's let go, but then I'm being pulled off -- "

"He the first guy you ever had sex with?"

"It wasn't 'sex' okay? We were just messin around!" Joel's arms were now burning, but he was starting to enjoy showing off in front of his audience. Pumping and exercising were almost... legit, he felt. Normal jocky thing to do. For a change.

"So who was?"

"Who was what?" Joel's mind was off on his tangent, seeing himself really getting serious about working out, bulking up. Maybe even getting serious, professional. Yeah, he would not mind doing the real thing, like on a stage, maybe getting off on the fame and the attention. Yeah, and the adulation of the crowd. Okay, the guys in the crowd, he admitted it. So he did not respond until Joe repeated his question.

"Who was the first guy you had real sex with?"

"Do I gotta -- "

"Yes Joel."

"Fine" he opened his eyes to look at Joe. He almost imagined him sitting there, his hand on his dick and his tongue hanging out. But Joe just sat there, his legs stretched out in front of him. But maybe, there was a sign of a bit of swelling in his pants, "can I put these down now?"

"Not yet" Joe folded his arms over his chest.

"You want me to keep exercising right?"

"That's what I wanted yeah."

"So you can get turned on right?" Joel lowered the weights to his thighs, then lowered himself down until he was crouched almost to the ground.

"Maybe..." Joe gave Billy a quick look then back at Joel. Everyone else was keeping very quiet, seeing Joe was going to be the first one to crack. And then finally, the real fun would begin.

"How can I tell?"

"Tell what?"

"You gettin turned on, if you all covered like that. Lose the pants and I'll continue-- "

"Minnow you ain't in no position to be makin bargains" Big Hank looked at Joe. He almost let out a grunt when he saw Joe get to his feet, his hands resting at his belt.

"And if I do?"

"Then the show continues" but Joel was already straightening up, the weights at his side. He continued a second and then a third leg bend, feeling his right ball drop free from the singlet. At the third dip he looked over and, damn! Joe was standing there is his boxers, his crotch more than a little bit full. And Joel almost smiled, seeing the small dark spot where the end of his dick would be. As soon as he heard Joe's butt hit the seat he continued,

"Y'wanna hear about me and my sexual experiences? Y'wanna hear how I got into this guy shit? Okay, well Soulman knows some of this, so it ain't like big news. Y'remember Randy my cousin -- "

"Yeah I remember him real good" Soulman looked around at the group "you already -- "

"Well... Joe" Joel turned to make sure he was getting to him "he's like two years older'n me okay? And you could say more experienced. And some chicks and yeah, some guys think he's pretty hot. So I was staying at their place one weekend, summer okay, and it was a hot one. So we were getting ready for bed -- yeah we were in the same room -- and he asks me what I wear at night. I tell him, when it's this hot, like nothin okay? So the next thing I know he's strippin down to his shorts and waitin for me to do the same okay? So I wanna see if I can maybe freak him out so I start pulling off my clothes but I keep goin until I'm buck-ass naked. And man he's like watchin me like a hawk okay? Just like you are now, his eyes all over my body" Joel started to curl the weights behind his back, one after another, making his chest heave out, and thrusting his crotch forward with each flip "and I'm like feeling the blood rush to my head seein him watchin me, and yeah, I start rubbing myself, sayin I'm itchy cause it's so hot, and I'm scratchin my balls, and yeah he's squirming okay? and I can feel myself start to get hard, yeah get hard right in front of him and he's like turning beet-red, so I make sure he can see my dick now, and I can tell he's gettin into it" Joel looked down at himself, now each ball was poking out of each side of the crotch. He lowered his arms so that his right forearm was grazing his crotch, and started twisting and turning his arm against himself, the barbell turning between his spreading legs, "yeah he was definitely getting into it. So when I'm like full hard, I get into the bed like nothin's happened and lay there on my back, my dick pointing at the ceiling. As soon as he turned the light off I can hear him breathing next to me, and then his hand is pressing into the side of my leg and then I'm pressing back against him and then his hand is on my dick and the next thing I know he's blowing me!"

"Bull!" from Moose still hanging onto the side of the pool.

"So I reach over and feel his hard cock through his briefs, but the front's all wet" Joel switched arms so his left forearm is now turning sideways back in forth, his cock starting to respond. He continued his movements, making sure Joe could see the profile "shit I thought he pissed hisself, but it was sticky not watery, so I reached inside the waistband and started jackin him while he's suckin me and before I could stop I'm blowin my jiz into his mouth! Yeah my cuz sucked me off!"

Joel turned towards Joe now and set the weights down. He could see the white fabric at his crotch stretched to one side. Yeah! He got him! But Joel wanted to make damn sure! He reached for the fabric bunched at his waist and started to tug it down, very very slowly, "but that just got me goin.. Cause once I cum I just wanna keep cummin" the fabric was now down to his pubes, his eyes glued to Joe's crotch, seeing a throbbing start "so with his mouth full of my cum I turned over, and shoved my crack into his slimy face!" and Joel turned around as he pulled the singlet past his cheeks, leaning forward "and his face hit my butt so I pushed back again him, pulling my ass wide apart" Joel pulled the singlet to his feet and stepped out of them, his legs now wide apart, his crack pointed right at Joe. He spread his cheeks wide so Joe could get a good look, a very good look at his hole, hoping to get him all hot and bothered. He picked up the singlet and turned around to see the effect, the cloth bunched in front of his groin, "and I'm playing with his dick like, and I can tell he's ready to pop a load it's all slick with his juice, so I twist back and pull his cock to my hole and start pushing into his crotch" Joel's hand started to rub the cloth back and forth across his cock, seeing Joe's cock now full hard, trying to pull through the fly, a slick wetness making the fabric shiny and showing the head very clearly now "and I'm pullin him into my butt and I'm pushing back, and I just get his head into the hole when he starts creaming all over me!" Joel pulls the cloth away, exposing his full hard cock right at Joe "he blew his load all over my crack and I'm holdin his cock and I knew I did it! I got him to blow his wad for me!" Joel looked down at Joe, almost expecting to see his briefs filling with cum. But it was enough to stand there with his hands of his hips, full frontal and hard, and know that Billy's dad was boned to the max. Over him!

"Well Ern y'got it now?" he turned to him, off to the side, halfway between Joe's knot and the pool "you wanted to see Billy's dad throw a bone okay?"

Ern hesitated for a minute, then stood up, his trunks showing his hard-on. His right hand was almost covering it, but when he started over to them, it was obvious he was half-covering, half-rubbing. He tried not to stare at Joe's boned hardness but when Joe made no attempt to cover himself, he actually crouched down and rubbed his hand over it. Joe let out a soft moan.

"Man..." Ern pulled his hand away, seeing what he was doing "I fuckin can't believe -- "

"Ernie!" Joe jerked forward "I can't be lecturing Billy about cursing if -- "

"Shit pops" Billy came over to intervene "swearing's the least of our problems here" he looked at Ern "you almost gettin off more on my old man than on Sextoy here huh?" he looked at Joel who was pouring his second glass down his throat "what's up with that?"

"I just... well..." he looked over at Moose who just shrugged and fell back into the water, coasting for the far end "well... yeah..."

"Well you don't need my permission" he lowered his voice "knock yourself out."

Ern looked at him, then at Joe. His expression was hidden behind the shades as Ern's hand again slowly lowered itself onto Joe's crotch. He grabbed his cock through the fabric, feeling it throb as another groan escaped from Joe's throat. When his hand slid under the waistband, Joe's hand stopped him. Ern tried to jerk his hand away, but Joe held him tight.

"Sorry I got carr--"

"It's cool" Joe slowly released Ern, then readjusted himself "but I'm real worked up right now."

"Hell, Mister Herms" Mannie looked away towards Joel "thought you already dropped a load today" then back at Joe and up to the window, giving him a wink.

Joe was embarrassed now, seeing he was becoming the center of attention, not Joel. Big Hank came to his rescue,

"Joel I'm still waiting to see how good a show you can do when I get you back to Mort's --"

"I ain't goin back--"

"You will if you don't get it up" looking at Joel's lowering cock "maybe the rest of what you read might help" he looked around at the group "you need to read it again or --"

"Damn no!" Joel looked around "no I remember it real good."

"Well...?" Big Hank looked at Billy and nodded at the camera "film?"

"Yeah!" Billy jumped up and checked the camera, making a show for his dad of turning off the record button. But as he flipped the cassette over he turned it back on "almost ran out" he said towards Big Hank.

"You were sayin..."

"What?"

"You were tellin Joe here about the first time Randy screwed yer butt."

"No I wasn't..." he looked around, then it dawned on him. He knew what was next on the menu. And he looked at Joe's reaction, and damn if Joel didn't see it as a challenge "yeah I'll tell ya all the sticky details all right" and he reached into the bag and, sure enough, there was the lube. He took it out and was unscrewing it when Big Hank said,

"Wait, not so fast."

Joel stood there, his dick not sure if was going up or down, but Joe's was definitely staying up. Did he misunderstand the cue? Were they letting him off the hook? Not likely. He raised his hand to shield his eyes to see them better, then noticed the beginning of some noiseless clouds off to the south.

"Ern you diggin on Joe here then why are you way over there?"

"But..." Ern looked at Moose.

"Why don't you two join the party. Ern you can sit next to Joe here, Moose next to Ern okay? Billy why don't you sit on Joe's other side okay? And you two, Peeper and his bud -- "

"Name's Jeff" he looked at Hank, trying to find the good time to leave.

"You two next to Mannie here" Big Hank watched as they all started to move their chairs. And the effect was working. It was the team vs. Joel. With the camera pointing at Joel. Only.

"There now we're all buds like right?" Big Hank looked at Billy, you cool over there? Billy winked, not really upset he was no longer on Big Hank's left. In a way he wanted to keep a close eye on his dad, no matter which way it went down. If he started to protest, Billy would be right there. But it seemed that his dad was getting more and more into this every second, maybe because he thought the camera was not working. Either way he was out of the "line of fire". And man, that Ern was right there in striking reach, between his dad and Moose. Talk about an evil dilemna. He was starting to see Big Hank in a whole new light. Shit, he was evil, in a good kinda way.

"Okay was it that night?" Big Hank looked to each side, seeing everyone lined up for the show "did he take your butt then?"

"No..." Joel looked at the line-up, a real "hung jury" he laughed to himself. A story they want, a story they'll get. Even if it's all bull "that night... after he sucked me off... well I pretended I was falling asleep... but I kept my hand on his dick... stroking it in my sleep like" he reached down and started greasing his dick, feeling it respond to all this attention "and when he was getting close, I'd pretend I was asleep until he calmed down, then I'd start up again. Man, I must have kept him on the edge for like two hours..."

"Bull" from Mannie who was lying there with his eyes closed, pretending he was bored by this.

"Why didn't he just jack himself?" from Ern, trying not to look at the two crotches on either side of him. Moose on his right had covered himself with a couple of towels and was trying to keep his eyes off the crotch to his right, Big Hank's crotch.

"Every time he tried, my sleeping hand was there, pushing his hand away" Joel had lubed his dick good and was working on his balls now. Man, but he was starting to dig all this attention in a big way. When his cock was "presentable" again, he went to work on massaging and stretching his balls, his hard cock flopping back and forth, shiny and red in the afternoon sun. The hardest part was keeping the sweat out of his eyes. He looked in the bag and, dumb luck! there was a sweatband, with the school logo on it. He put it on, waiting for the objection but nothing.

"So I had Randy so turned on he was almost crying. Hell I was waiting for his brother or his parents to wake up and walk in..."

"So's that when he fucked ya?" Big Hank moved the towel from his crotch to his head, in part because it was getting warm, and in part because he was... getting hot.

"He never fucked me, at least not right away. That night I kept him leaking and whining for half the night til he finally blew in my hand" Joel's hand working the area under his balls "man I thought he'd never stop cumming! Of course I made him sleep in his puddle. The next morning he was too drained to do anything. Yeah he had his morning hard but when I touched it he pushed me away. So no he didn't fuck me..." Joel looked at his audience then the camera "hell I didn't even know guys did that kinda shit. I thought just watching each other, and shit, maybe a quick grope was as far as it went" his hand now rubbing the area between his legs, his feet moving farther apart "so I was really freaked when Bo -- "

"Bo!??!?!?!" from Moose and the rest. Big Hank just looked around like he missed the joke.

"Y'know him. He's -- "

"Y'mean Bo? Like Will's dad Bo? Bo Jackson?"

"C'mon you guys know him! Yeah Will from your team, that Bo" Joel had them hooked, and was gonna reel them in "I met him at the Y" he looked at Big Hank "when I useta spend alot of time at the Y."

"Who's this Bo?" Big Hank looked around "do I know him?"

"If you saw him you'd know him" from Moose "huge black guy, around forty right?" looking at the other guys "built like a fuckin linebacker. But you ain't tellin us Bo fucked you" to Joel "we all know that ain't happenin."

"Why not?" Big Hank looked to his left.

"Just because..." Moose looked around, suddenly painted into a corner.

"Cause Bo don't swing that way" from Billy, trying to gauge his dad's reaction. He almost shit when Joe said,

"Bo's not into fucking guys" he looked at Billy.

"No, he's into BEING fucked by guys" from Mannie, trumping Joel.

"Say again?" Big Hank looked around, "says who?"

"Says all of us" from Moose, also trying to trump Joel "so you're fulla shit. But after seeing ya take on King Kong maybe you coulda taken Bo on. But I doubt it."

"King Kong?" Big Hank looked at Moose "who?"

"You're bud Juan" Moose looked back at Joel "they gave us a little show one afternoon, right?"

Joel looked at Joe "maybe."

"Except the show ended early when Billy's dad -- Joe here -- came home early like" Mannie was hoping his embarrassing episode with Juan was going to be lost in the shuffle "but we didn't know Joe here was cool with all this shit, right?"

"Billy?"

"When we sent ya out for pizza, that afternoon."

"You guys were... having sex, where?"

"Up in my bedroom."

"But there's not enough room -- "

"We made room."

"Oh yeah" Mannie looked back to Joel "Joel here made lots of room. So you lying bout Bo doin ya -- "

"You wanna hear it or not?" he looked at Big Hank, then Joe.

"Yeah I for one wanna hear this" Joe looked at Billy "even if it's all in your fantasy" and his crotch seconded the motion.

"It seems all of you know this Bo guy real well" Joel went up and down the line "REAL well" looking at Moose "and I know we're talkin bout the same Bo."

"So tell me Bo fucked you" Moose dared him.

"You wanna hear that? You wanna hear how he put his big black monster up my hole?" he was staring at Joe, seeing the bulge in his briefs give a jerk.

He reached up and adjusted his headband.

"Y'having trouble keeping the sun outa yer eyes?" Big Hank stood up, aware that his crotch was showing his swelling interest. He heard Moose behind him give a groan.

Big Hank found a t-shirt lying off to the side, picked it up and started tying it around Joel's face.

"Hey wait!" he started to protest, but his greasy hands were no match.

"No protests anymore remember?" as Big Hank secured the blindfold "you seem to be enjoying watching us too much. What you need to do you can do it with your eyes closed, right?" he chuckled. He reached into the gym bag, and produced a different tube from another compartment. Several guys started commenting, recognizing it but Big Hank gave them a silencing look. He opened the tube and spread the green goo over the butt plug Joel had already removed, putting in on the chair behind Joel "and besides, I think the film has a good idea who you are by now. So tell us about Bo" and he went back to his chair, seeing even Mannie give his crotch a good look.

"And while you tell us, let's see you get your butt nice and ready" Big Hank looked left and right. When he was settled he let his right hand return to Mannie's chest. After a quick jerk, Mannie accepted the contact.

"You want the whole story?"

"Yeah" from both Moose and Hank. Moose saw where Big Hank's hand had landed and decided to play defense. He knew if his other hand, his left hand, landed on him, he blow his load then and there. So he covered himself with his own hand while his right arm formed a excuse for a barrier, leaning against Big Hank's left hip. Moose to block, two points. Big Hank looked down and leaned back, his left arm behind his head. Go ahead guy, see what happens.

"Okay" Joel heard the voices and turned toward the sound, hoping he was more or less facing them. He preferred to have seen their reactions, seen their arousals at his little show. Now he was blind, only hearing their breathing and mutterings. Now he had to imagine what they were doing, how they were responding. It only made him more determined to push their buttons. He reached around on the ground, until his hand found the familiar tube. When he had lubed up his fingers, he turned his back on the group, giving them a good view of his backside. He could almost hear the camera purring to the side, so he started to weave back and forth as he bent forward, his knees in a crouch.

"I was at the Y okay? And it was a Tuesday or something, something back in May, I think, cause school was still going on y'know. I went in earlier I think because of that. So I was expecting more, yeah and different people -- okay guys there" his hands were slowly spreading his cheeks as he leaned forward, exposing his crack to all their eyes, feeling the breeze hit his hole. Yeah, he heard a grunt or two, yeah, I'm gonna enjoy this even I can't see it "so I was able to get on most of the machines for a fuckin change, except for one, the leg press. This big dude -- yeah like I was suppose t'know who he was at this point -- find out who he is real fast okay?" he heard over his shoulder someone, Joe? maybe squirming a bit "yeah it was Bo and he was like working his legs big time, big fuckin treetrunk legs, they all corded and twisted with muscle" his greased middle finger found the hole. He started stroking it slowly up and down "yeah... y'liking this? Like watchin me finger my butthole?"

"Don't stop Joel keep going" from Joe, adjusting his briefs to keep the head of his dick from slipping through the fly. Ern caught every move. Joe even had a hunch Ern's left hand was inching towards his thigh. Fuck, he thought, and spread his legs further apart, his thigh closing the gap with Ern's knuckles.

"Yeah..." Joel's finger pressing harder "so I'm watching this guy, thinking if I give him the hint he'll like get the idea y'know maybe somebody else needs the machine, maybe he's gonna let me at the machine before I grow a beard standing there. Then I start guessing maybe he's gettin the wrong idea okay? like I was lookin at him for another reason, cause he gave me a really weird expresssion. But everytime I looked in his direction he started looking back. Shit, I don't wanna take him on I just want to finish my fuckin routine! Finally he finishes and leaves, not even wiping his sweat off. Natch, I'm on it before anyone else comes along, but by then there's only two or three dudes left. So I'm on the machine doing my routine and damn but he appears outa nowhere and then he keeps looking over at me. And damn but with his heat and his sweat, I'm lying in it okay? but it's kinda a turn-on" the finger running little circles around his hole "okay so like maybe I started to y'know swell up maybe a little, but it's not like anyone can see, I'm thinking. Well the next thing I see he's gone so I finish up and head back to the locker room and damn I was glad he's not there. So I guess there's no fight tonight I ain't gonna be pounded into little pieces so I take a quick shower" turning his head in Big Hank's general direction "a 'private' shower okay?" his finger starting to probe the hole "and I think it's still early enough so I got maybe ten minutes for the sauna so I wrap a towel around myself and head in there. There's like one other guy in there, a guy I've seen once or twice, not bad looking, maybe late twenties, tight muscular body, built kinda like you Jeff I guess.

So I sit down and close my eyes, just relaxing and enjoying the heat. I musta maybe dozed off cause I come to and I hear this sound. I crack one eye open and this guy... well his towel's off and he's like giving himself a rub-down, slapping himself all over his chest and belly. I try not to look but shit man... he's y'know starting to bone, and shit I mean bone! This thing was starting half-way down his leg! And he keeps rubbing and slapping and then his other hand is starting to juggle his balls, but like hard! Like he slapping them up against himself. And by now he's full hard and this thing is like pointing straight up, like way past his navel. It's like the biggest dick I've ever seen before, not thick around, kinda thin skinny torpedo like, but fucking a foot long!. I'm trying not to look, trying to keep my eyes closed, but I guess he can see I'm forming a tent under my towel" the finger slides in to the first digit. Joel bends over more so no one can miss it "and yeah he musta seen it cause the next thing I know he's on his feet. I'm hopin he's like leavin, now someone's seen his private scene, but just as he's about to move the fuckin door opens and like it's fuckin Bo!" the finger slides all the way to the knuckle "and I don't move a muscle, just pretend I'm still asleep like, trying not to pass out with the heat and everything. I wait for what seems like three hours and finally crack my eye open again, hoping the guy left. But shit no! He's still there! He's still naked and his cock is still pointing at the ceiling, and he's like just sitting there like nothing's out of the ordinary. I steal a peek at Bo to catch his reaction, but he's just sitting there, leaning back, his arms folded on that massive sweating chest. I can't tell if he's getting off on this or not cause his towel is still tight around his waist. I open my eyes like I'm just waking up and take it all in. Bo looks at me and back at him, but like he's mister poker-face okay? No fuckin reaction one way or the other. I think it's time to leave but like I gotta walk past both of them -- they're both between me and the door and if I stand up..."

"They'll see how you were just playin possum" from Joe, still shifting his weight, trying to keep his cockhead from popping free. But just when he does, he feels Ern's hand slide up to the edge of his briefs. Oh shit, he we go, he thought.

"Yeah, it was just getting hotter and hotter in there" Joel was starting to work the finger in and out, feeling the muscle relax and his balls start to crinkle in response "and fuck! but if this guy doesn't stand up again, and this time I swear he's really heading for the door. He had his fuckin hand on the door, I swear, and he says: shit forgot my towel, and he comes back, picks it up and then just stands there, right next to me, with it around his neck. Damn that cock was pointing right up at my face! I look at Bo, waiting for him to make some comment, like telling him to knock it off, or cover it up or something, but he just sat there, like he's carved in stone or shit! And I think he's asleep but his eyes are open looking right at us.

Then this guy starts the rubbing and slapping routine again, and fuck if I can help myself from tenting the towel again. As soon as the guy sees that he starts banging his balls big time, I swear his goddamn sweat is flying off his cock and balls and landing on me he's so close. I look over at Bo, hoping he's gonna stop this or leave or something. But what does this big fuckin stud do? He spreads his legs, and his towel opens up, and like it's barely covering his stuff. Shit I see that and my dick starts throbbing big time, even the standing guy can see that. And it's like green light for him, he grabs his cock and starts twisting his fist around the base, making it swell more. I look at him, trying not to look okay? and then I see Bo's towel is slowly creeping sideways, and damn but if there's not this huge red cockhead showing between his legs. I see that and I just about lose my load!" and his finger is now jabbing in and out of his hole, and a second is sliding in as well, his buttmuscles flexing and unflexing "This guy, right in front of Bo, reaches under my towel and grabs my cock! Right out in the open okay? As soon as I feel his hand on my cock, I'm through. I give up. He pulls my towel apart and starts jiggling my balls in time with his, and both our cocks now are throwing pre-cum around. And Bo spead his knees apart more, and now his towel is like wide open, his huge uncircumcized cock is lying there, but it's long and the head is poking out, and his balls are like half-way over the edge of the bench, but he's just sitting there, not budging a muscle. And then this guy's hands are all over me, I'm getting more and more turned on by the second, and I haveta turn away from him, just to get his hand away from my goods, and then his hands are all over my ass, and he's spreading my cheeks, and I can feel his slick, greasy dick start to slide up and down my crack. And once he started playin with my crack -- shit this really got Bo's attention!" two fingers sliding in and out and then a third, now spreading the relaxing butthole wider for all to see "and the next thing is Bo's sliding down the bench towards us, his arms still fuckin folded, until he's right in front of us, and that when I feel this guy's fingers at my butt, and yeah, he does it! He gets a finger inside me! He's started finger-fuckin me right in front of Bo. And I feel myself getting ready to be fucked right there, with Bo watching and before I can get my shit together damn! but I feel his cock start to make contact with my ass! If I don't do something I'm really gonna get fucked! Right there with this huge dude not a foot away from me! I'm startin to lose my cherry right there, with this huge black muscle stud watching every single move, looking like he's watchin a fuckin tv show!" Joel's fingers are slamming again and again into his widening hole, each time he can hear a gasp or two coming from the direction of the group. He can only imagine what they're doing now? Are they sitting there smirking and elboying each other? Or are they openly jackin their meat, getting turned on by his blatant fuckin pigshow. And the best thing is Billy is right there, getting fuckin all boned up right next to his own dad! He's either super-embarrassed or like horning on his dad's reaction to this whole shit.

What he couldn't see was that yeah, they were sitting there, all openly hard except for Mannie, who was making an effort to keep his thighs together, his dick trapped between them, as Big Hank's hand was massaging his shaved pubes, rubbing his fingers over the dragon design. Mannie was looking anywhere but at Joel, or at Big Hank and his fuckin hand for that matter. He was kinda shocked this big jock was so determined to force his hand into his crotch, but what the hell! The worst part was the more he rubbed, the more his bladder felt like it was gonna explode real soon. He finally stole a glance over at Big Hank's crotch, and could see his clearly defined cock straining at the side of his boxers, luckily pointing the other way. Moose was busy keeping his own hands in his own crotch, trying to keep his eyes away from his own barely covered hardon as well as the effect Joel's little show was having on Big Hank's condition. But Mannie finally caught his eye and winked, nodding at Big Hank's basket. Moose looked away fast but Big Hank caught the exchange. Moose looked over at Ern, seeing something to keep his mind off Big Hank. He let his hand fall into Ern's lap, giving his long thin cock a hard squeeze! Ern let out a small yelp, his own hand jerked and made hard contact with Joe's right ball. For a split-second he almost yanked it away but thought, hell, it might as well stay there til this Joe moves it. As the back of his knuckles pushed against his balls, he felt the head of Joe's cock make contact with the back of his wrist. That was all it took. What with Joel continuing to egg them on, Ern slowly rotated his hand until his palm was cupping Joe's cock, a nice warm jockstrap shaped like Ern's palm. And just moving his thumb a few milimeters back and forth, just like that he felt the bare head free itself from the fly. It took even less effort to slide the whole length free of the fabric. Ern just held it, feeling the blood throb through it, the piss-slit shiny and beaded with juice.

Big Hank saw Joe's hard-on break free and stood up. Seeing Joe hesitate gave him the green light he needed. He went up to Joel, his boxers pointing the way. He picked up Ern's paper and gave it to Joel.

"Tear it up punk" Big Hank growled and picked up the buttplug "one request finished and one more coming up."

"What?" Joel felt the paper in his hand, but let it fall to the ground. He felt the end of the buttplug replace the paper.

"And now for the real show" Big Hank went back to his seat clapping his hands, a few joining him. When he got back to his chair he made of point of returning his right hand to the same spot in Mannie's groin. Mannie just clamped his strong thighs even tighter "you thirsty?"

"Funny" Mannie looked at him, having a terrible feeling Big Hank figured it out. Like he read his mind, Big Hank's hand moved from his pubes to the area between his thighs, just above his knees. Mannie felt the battle being lost.

"Okay Joel you were tellin us about getting your cherry popped in the sauna..."

"Fuck..." Joel felt the greasy thing in his hand, not sure if he had the nerve to plug himself in front of these guys. He was hoping they were not really serious about all this. He was waiting for Joe or Hank or Ern to say, enough! We just wanted to see if you would really go though with it! They had to be playing chicken with him! But Joel kept struggling with the nagging thought that the only way they would call this off would be if he really went throught with this. He had to gross them out and call their damn bluff! And that meant, yeah he hadda stand there under the damn hot sun, his shoulders starting to turn red, and the fucking sweat trying to keep it outa his eyes, yeah, you fuckin crappers, I'll just call you out. You want rauch I'll give ya raunch. And Joel started to jab it between his cheeks, moving his legs farther apart so they could get a real good look-see. And yeah maybe it was better than one of them doing it to him, forcing it in, or worse, using something else. Like a broom handle for starters, "yeah like I'm trying to keep my balance okay, and that bastard slid his dick up and down my crack and before I could stop it shit! he popped it into me! right there in Bo's face! And t'make things even worse, then his hand reaches around and fuck if he didn't start jacking me off" the greasy tip finding his now stretched hole "and in like maybe five seconds -- just when he has a good grip on my cock -- I feel the bastard unloading in me! Like he just got his head in and he's already blowin his load in my ass!" Joel bent forward until he was almost doubled over and with his legs spread as far apart as possible, and gave the plug a good push and pop! it's in! He fell to his knees, the full feeling almost more than he braced for! "and fuck! fuck! fuck!" Joel trying to catch his breath "this... this... guy's jerking me off and before I can stop I start cumming right there! I can't stop it! And I look down and I'm creaming all over Bo's arms and belly! But instead of going ballistic he just sits down, his cock still down along his leg but long and swollen. The guy pulls outa my butt and without saying boo, he's gone. Bo just looks at me, and I'm waiting for him to like take me apart, but he just stands up and walks to the door! Like nothin happened at all! Like he just saw me get buttfucked right in front of him and nothing!" Joel reached down and braced himself on his hands "he's walking out the sauna and like real casual says, front door, five minutes, be there! and then he's gone..."

Joel lowered himself to one knee, listening to the small sound, hoping they would get the idea the show was over. He crouched there for a long time and then like a crack of thunder heard,

"Stand up Joel!" Big Hank barked "and face us! now! Let's see you pump those muscles now, now you got your butt full of rubber!"

"Damn..." Joel struggled to his feet and turned around. He thought for sure he was finished, that they got their money's worth. But no...

As he straightened up, the fullness in his butt increased tenfold, and then he felt the itching start "damn! damn!! was that --- you used that damn green shit!" and he tried to reach behind him to pull it out. But Big Hank was on his feet in a flash, grabbing Joel's hands and pulling them away.

"Damn get it out! You're killing me!" as he tried to squeeze his ass muscles, hoping to shit it out of himself. But the buttplug worked like it was designed to do. It was going nowhere!

"Arms straight out and stand up!" Big Hank barked. Joel was squirming big time, but knew the noose was still around his neck. He had to do it. Big Hank reached down, picked up both dumbbells and put them in Joel's outstretched hands. Joel almost let them slip from his greasy hands but then got a better grip "okay bud, now let's see ya swing them behind your back then swing them forward down to your feet. And don't you dare let them hit them tiles, you got it?"

Joel took a careful swing until they were grazing his shoulder blades, then carefully swung them forward until they landed on his thighs. He realized he had to bend forward to lower them to his ankles. And when he did the plug banged right against his prostate. He realized Big Hank's vendetta was never going to end.

When Big Hank handed the weights to Joel, he realized the snaps to his fly has popped open. It took the few steps back to his chair before his dick poked through the opening. He saw Moose turn beet red and freeze, his eyes almost bugging out of his sockets. Joel slid into his chair, his eyes locked on Moose, and made a point of not stuffing his dick back through the opening. Mannie saw what he was doing and squirmed. But now both of Big Hank's hands spread to either side, his right one back between Mannie's thighs, his left zeroing in on Moose's bare thigh, while his own crotch gaped there, openly exposed. If he painted a "welcome sign" on his lap it would not have been more obvious.

"Joel keep goin, I don't wanna see ya not swingin those arm y'got it? and now..." Big Hank looked over at Joe with a half-smile "you can finish your story. 'Front door five minutes' remember?"

"Goddamn!" Joel was raising the weights back up to his thighs, but now no matter how he bent, the plug was doing a major number on his prostate "okay okay, but then this thing comes outa me right?"

"Finish the story and maybe we'll take a vote. So what happened?" and Big Hank's right hand had wormed its way between Mannie's thighs and had slid up to his balls, finding the tip of his trapped cock at the same time. Mannie gripped his armrests as Big Hank worked it free. Free and very very hard. Big Hank just held it by the base, no need yet to start the slow up and down rhythm. Mannie closed his eyes, trying to think of anything else.

"Damn... damn... okay but remember you asked for it..." Joel knew his story would have to take long enough to force them to lose it, but he had to keep himself from getting off before then. And with that damn thing in him with that damn itchy gel damn! "okay I'm getting dressed like I can't believe I just let this guy do what he did, didn't even thing about a shower, like I had time y'know what with havin to get the fuck outa there in time and my butt burning bad, my dick still itching from my cum and okay I look a slob and a mess when I get outa there, and sure enough Bo's waiting at the front door. Look, I really don't -- and he cuts me off and says, Chill! What now? I ask, expecting him to take a swing or something, you pissed about what went down? Get in my car, we gotta go somewhere. Like hell, I say, you'll drive me somewhere and they'll find my body next year. Ain't like that, he said still not smiling. I like ya kid, I ain't gonna mess ya up. Besides yer maybe gonna like this.

"I don't like getting beat up. I ain't gonna mess ya. So where y'gonna take me? One way t'find out. And if it was anybody else I woulda bolted outa there fast. But this guy was too big to argue with, and he really seemed maybe not totally okay, but not mad. Not like he was gonna do anything violent like. And maybe I wanted to find out what his scene was. And yeah he was like fuck and my dick gettin hard again. So like an idiot I got in his car and we drove somewhere on the southside, some old factory building and we get outa the car and I think if he's gonna go off on me it's gonna go down here. But he just goes down this walkway and in this open door. He's like holding it open and I'm tellin myself if I go in there I'll never see tomorrow but... my dick was taking over... again..."

"Your dick does that alot" Big Hank said, but smiled looking down at himself.

"Look who's talking!" Moose reached over and gave it a friendly pat, but once his hand made contact with Big Hank's cock, it was like it flipped a switch. Moose felt the blood leave his head and rush to his crotch. He did not even notice he had stopped covering his swollen shaved crotch. Neither did he feel it when Big Hank's hand circled his balls and cock in one steady motion. Moose was aware of nothing but his hand on Big Hank's cock, and everything else was swirling dizzy white heat.

"Yeah and it took me right through the door. I was braced for his fist but instead he was like ten steps ahead of me, going into this gym or something, kinda run-down but clean y'know?, like a real work-out place for some serious roidhead or something somebody built in there. I mean it musta been Bo's right? But then what the fuck he doin at the Y? Well he turns around and says, just do what I do, got it? Why, what are y'gonna do, what gives? You'll see, don't sweat it kid, and he's still not so much as showing any expression, like this poker-faced mountain, and damn but I'm getting curious, and then suddenly this guy is coming outa this other door, just some regular looking guy, I didn't get a good look at him cause they only got one or two lights on in the place, but Bo says this guy is -- yeah you got it -- mister smith, and it's his place I guess and then the weird thing happens, like Bo gives HIM like a hundred bucks, like for he's rentin it or something. At that point I'm too confused, but we go over to the weight area and Bo takes off his jacket, and he looks at me like I'm supposed to take off my jacket and when we are both wearing just our work-out clothes then this competition or whatever starts. Whatever Bo does, I gotta do. And I think now this guy has his money y'know and he'll like leave but he fuck no, he just sits down and like just watches us! Like he wants to make sure we don't steal anything or some shit. So Bo puts on his weight belt, I put on my weight belt" Joel was starting to sweat again, his cock full but not hard, but every time Joel stood up or bent down, it gave a throb as that plug banged deep into his chute.

"My turn" Billy jumped up and went to the table, finding his note "you can't read this so I'll read it for ya" Billy unfolded it "and Billy wrote: I wanna see Joel with a buttplug -- yeah like you are now" Billy gave Joel's butt a soft slap, not hard enough to make him drop the weights "and here's the rest: and jacked for ten minutes without cumming, got it Joel? I'm gonna play with your cock for a full ten minutes while you keep up the exercise and finish your story. Ten long hot fuckin minutes! And the last line" Billy put his hand on Joel's shoulder "here's the part your gonna love: with the green shit!"

Joel dropped the weights to the ground, and pulled the t-shirt off his head "no fuckin way!" he looked around the group fast, a bit surprised at what he saw, "shit I thought you'd all be suckin and fuckin by now" he looked at Joe "maybe I'm not getting you turned on enough" seeing how hard Joe was in Ern's hand. And Moose's hand on his big hero's cock and that big straight hero, Big Hank, with both hands full of cock. What a fuckin sight "okay okay fine! Do your fuckin worst the bunch of ya!" and he pulled the blindfold down over his face again.

"Nah, leave it off!" from Moose "I want you to watch, I want you to see all this while Billy's torturing your cock!"

"No torture!" Joe tried getting up but Ern's hand kept him in his seat.

"It's okay pops, it ain't real torture" Billy found the tube and squeezed a good amount into his palm "it'll just feel like it, right Joel?"

"Damn you Billy" Joel tossed the t-shirt to the ground but kept the headband on. He leaned forward to pick up the dumbells and let out a grunt "ten fuckin minutes then that plug is out!"

"Back to your story bud" Big Hank's two fists started a slow stroking now, but giving more attention to Mannie on his right. He knew Moose needed little encouragement, but this Mannie was a tough nut, pardon the expression "and gentlemen" he looked left and right "nobody cums you got it? Not til the next part of the show."

"Next? What next?" from Mannie, seeing Billy approach his crotch.

"You still have more papers to go through Joel" Big Hank gave a hiss as he felt Moose's hand start to stroke him in turn. And that horndog spit on his hand! So a nice slick hand was now working his cock like an hundred-dollar whore "ten minutes now!"

"Fuck!" as Joel felt Billy's hand grab his cock, the slippery fingers staying away from his balls luckily. As he felt the itchy tingling start he bent forward, enough to break Billy's hold. He grabbed the weights again and resumed the routine, feeling the hand return to his cock as soon as the weights cleared his waist. Each time he bent forward to touch them to his ankles, Billy again was forced to release his hold, only to return as he straightened up. It was like Chinese water torture, first jerking then stopping, stroke and stop, over and over "damn Billy... okay okay" Joel closed his eyes, hoping he could keep this up for the longest ten minutes of his life. His only chance now was to get them to nut first "so like Bo just kept saying do what I do, and I think it's some kinda weight competition, but this wall of muscle could outlift me with one hand tied behind his back and he's not doing that. It's like five sit-ups, then five push-ups, then he strips off his shirt, and stands there waiting for me, and then it's ten bench presses, and then leg lifts and then, damn..." Joel squeezed his legs together, Billy's hand now stroking him to full hard "damn... damn..." he squinted at the group, and everyone was showing bone, every last guy, and everyone's hand was in somebody else's crotch, even Mannie's hand had strayed to playing with Big Hank's balls now "damn... damn..." his cock was responding even more quickly than he expected. No way he could hold off shooting for another nine minutes "Billy ease up -- "

"Fat chance" Billy's hand was now twisting around the fold behind the head, driving Joel fuckin nuts!

"Billy please!"

"Damn!" from Big Hank, his own cock responding to Moose's spit-lubed hand "fuck" he looked at Moose: don't make me cum! "Billy ten minutes remember? Joel keep talkin."

Big Hank raised his right hand to his mouth and spat into it. He coated Mannie's already slick cock with it and started a steady hard stroking. Mannie swore but was forced to let him continue. When he felt that Moose's hand was on auto-pilot he raised his left hand, spat and started to smear it all over Moose's unsheathed head. Moose snapped out of it.

"Fuck!" Moose grabbed his own cock by the base and squeezed, a single drop of fluid forming at the slit "damn you almost -- "

"Payback."

"I didn't know you were so close. Honest."

"Having a hot stud's hand on my dick will get me to blow in seconds" Big Hank made it as clear as day.

"Fuck..." Moose looked him up and down.

"Maybe..." Big Hank reached down and pulled his cock through the opening. He pulled his boxers down to his thighs, freeing his genitals finally. At first Moose was too spooked to return his hand. Not for long.

"Okay... fuck... fuck..." Joel was panting now, with the exertion, and the plug and the over-stimulation to his cock, he was right on a knife-blade from cumming. And fuck, that bastard Billy could tell and knew just how much to jerk him then stop "fuck... and like this guy just sits there watching us, and I'm watching the clock, like I'm thinkin maybe Bo only got the room for an hour and we're there already for thirty, maybe forty minutes, then Bo starts pulling off his pants! No fuckin way he wants me to do it too but yeah he points and I look at that guy and Bo says something and next thing I know I'm pullin down my jeans, and my shorts are all stained with cum still. Then I look and Bo pulls off his shorts! and he's like fucking bare-assed fuckin naked, right in front of this guy! and then they're staring at me and waiting, and c'mon I say, y'can't be serious. Do it, Bo says, everything I do you gotta too. Well fuck... fuck..." Joel lowers the weights trying to cut off Billy's hand, but he just squeezes the base of Joel's cock like a vise, knowing he's holding back Joel's orgasm by a hair "fuck... okay... okay.. I strip down to my skin and then we're doing more arm curls, and he does six and I do six and then, I look over, and I can't believe it, Bo is starting to beat his meat right in front of this guy, and this guy's like just watching it, like he's seen it a hundred time.

And Bo looks over at me, Do what I do got it? and he make sure I see his hand motions, and then I start slowly just touchin myself, and fuck... fuck... fuck..." Joel was squeezing his knees together, feeling a dot of cum burn out of his urethra and hit the ground "fuck I can't hold it!" but Billy's other hand, the ungreased one was tight around the base and his greased hand began tugging down on his balls, pulling them away from his bright red and swollen cock, "ah!!!!" Joel screamed.

"Finish your story, you got two minutes left."

"Fuck..." Joel felt his orgasm subside "fuck like Bo's openly masturbating in front of this guy now and he expects me to do the same, and fuck... fuck..." Billy's hand is carefully stroking Joel's cock like a feather, another orgasm building "fuck... and Bo reaches into a locker... and .... he pulls out this... fuck!" Joel's hips start bucking hard, but Billy's hand is too tight. Joel's cock is swelling and throbbing but nothing leaks out this time. fuck... I can't keep -- "

"Nobody... cums..." Big Hank panted, Moose slowly easing glob after glob of pre-cum from him. Mannie was twisting and writhing, but Big Hank was more expert at keeping him close but not exploding. He was not so kind with Moose who was also dripping and grabbing himself. Ern and Joe were keeping up a slow steady rhythm on each other, but Joe's cock was losing the battle, if the amount of juicing was any indication.

"Finish it Joel" Big Hank gasped "one minute."

"Fuck" Joel felt Billy's hand start a relentless assault on his balls, the other hand now reaching behind him to slam again and again into the buttplug "fuck... he finds this... fuckin... dildo and right there he starts to lube up each end, it has two goddam ends, and start to work it into his hole. When he looks at me and I figure out he wants to put the other end in my hole I almost bolt. But he brings his... fuck... his... ass against mine... fuck... fuck" with each slam into that buttplug "and I feel it start to push into me... fuck... and Bo reaches back and locks my arms against his and our asses... fuck! start bumpin and we are both impaled on this damn... FUCK!" and Joel threw his head back and his cock fuckin exploded! A rope of cum shot about four feet in front of him and all hell broke loose! The first out of his seat was Mannie who jumped the three steps over to Joel who was falling to his knees, his cock continuing to shoot again and again, and Mannie pointed his cock right at Joel's check, squeezed his eyes shut as a bright yellow ribbon of piss poured out of him and started to soak Joel as the plug was finally squeezed from his hole. Everyone else was too shocked to think about cumming.

"Fuck you minnow fuck you minnow" Mannie yelled "take my piss you fuckin puto!" but as soon as he could stopped his stream, and he was running to the kitchen door.

Big Hank was out of his chair, his shorts around his knees, with Moose right behind. Ernie and Joe were too shocked to respond right away. But Moose and Big Hank grabbed Joel before he collapsed seeing the mess of cum and urine covering him and the deck. Billy stayed on his knees slowly catching his breath, making slow wipes with his towels, trying to blot up the mess.

"Okay boys, you've had your fun. Enough is enough" Joe was slowly pulling himself away from Ern's hand, trying to stuff his messy cock back into his briefs as best he could, "Joel come with me. We gonna get you cleaned up. Billy finish this mess and get all these towels downstairs."

Billy could see how freaked his dad was now that he had a chance to look around and see how far he let things go. He looked up from the ground and was a bit shocked to see that Hank and Jeff was not there.

"Ern, Moose, we're short two dudes."

"Y'mean Jeff and Hank" Moose pulled up his trunks, to keep his cock from dripping if nothing else "naw they're over in the pool" but Billy could not see anyone! He freaked and ran for the pool, diving in head first. As he feared, they were both at the bottom of the pool! He was down next to them is a split second, shaking them. When they opened their eyes and blew bubbles into his face, Billy lost it watching them surface. He joined them gasping for air, not sure if he should kill them or hug them!

"Payback!" from both Hank and Moose.

"You bastards!" Billy screamed "I thought you were -- "

"Had ya there!" Jeff said, dunking him again.

"Why'd you do that?"

"Hadda" Jeff looked at Hank "we didn't make the ten minute mark."

"What?" Billy looked down and saw they were both skinny-dipping "where're your shorts?"

"We hid the evidence in your bushes" and laughed.

"You mean you two really blew yer loads?"

"Don't tell Soulman okay? But we wanna be leavin as soon as you can find us somethin to wear."

"Not a chance" Billy laughed "I won't tell, but if you two leave now, he'll know you both creamed your jeans" he pulled himself from the pool, suddenly aware of how hot the afternoon had gotten, "two towels coming up."

"Billy no. We need -- "

"Towels" leaving them on the side of the pool. He found their shorts where they'd try to hide them, picked them up, bundled them into a pile of dirty towels and headed inside "back with more."
