The Officers Part 12
Sam stared coldly across the table at Colonel Gorham. Sam put on his best poker face as he astutely and coyly observed the Colonel, waiting for him to speak.
Sam had to admit to himself, this many was incredibly handsome; a man that likely had all the women falling over him when they saw him in uniform. The colonel was very tall, lean and judging by the way he had strode into the room, very athletic.
He had dark brown eyes and a very wide and very white smile. His bright blonde hair was cut high and tight which matched the image of his very crisp and clean dress uniform. This man screamed `American Military: Poster Boy for Freedom' ; even his eye brows were blonde. From what Sam could see, his thick arm hair was bright blond too. Sam wondered to himself if the rest of his hair was blond as well.
The Colonel was arranging paperwork and hadn't looked up in minutes. Sam knew better, as a Lieutenant soon to be a Captain, than to interrupt a full bird Colonel. This guy gave off every vibe of formality and the standard military pomp and circumstance. Sam guessed Colonel Gorham was a West Point grad; everything about him screamed military academy grad. Sam didn't catch a glimpse of a West Point ring, though, so perhaps his guess was wrong.
Finally, the Colonel looked up and directly at Sam; a wide smile crossing his face.
"Lieutenant Kerry, such a pleasure to finally meet you. It's unfortunate Major Condley could not join us. Don't worry, I'll be seeing him later." Colonel Gorham stated in a confident and deep voice. Sam guessed that voice was no stranger to barking out orders and commands. From the looks of the ribbons on his meticulous uniform, this guy had to have been a combat arms officer Sam guessed this guy had to be in his late 40's or early 50's but he had a youthful look to his face so it was hard for Sam to gauge exactly.
"Sir, why is it that we're here?" Sam dared to ask managing to keep his stoic poker face.
"Colonel Fenzel told me about what happened here during his visit. I assumed you guessed that from my text." The Colonel started. Sam's heart started the thump harder. His stomach started to churn.
"Are you with JAG or CID?" Sam interrupted with a slight crack in his voice.
The Colonel smiled wryly. "A good question given the circumstances but no." The Colonel replied.
"Then why are you here?" Sam questioned, his nerves building.
"Straight to the point then, are we? Colonel Fenzel did mention that you were uhhhÉdirect for a lieutenant." Colonel Gorham replied. "I'm here to hand deliver you and Major Condley a change."
"A change?" Sam asked skeptically. "Like a change of clothes into an orange jump suit and a new home at Ft. Leavenworth?"
"My, my lieutenant you're jumpy," The Colonel stated. "No under different circumstances you may have ended up in that exact situation but you won't be going to military prison for what happened with Colonel Fenzel. Quite the contrary."
Sam's mind was racing. He was bewildered and genuinely had no idea what the Colonel was going to say or offer. His skepticism hadn't abated and he was still suspicious of a trap.
"So what exactly are you talking about then, Sir? Like most lieutenants, I'm a bit lost on this one." Sam quipped.
"What happened with you two and Colonel Fenzel was unfortunate. Under different circumstances, I believe it would have gone much differently Ð in a positive way. As you know, Colonel Fenzel gave me all of the details. No I'm not JAG and no I'm not CID; quite the opposite given what I'm about to tell you." The Colonel remarked.
Sam stared intently at the Colonel.
"Homosexuality in the military has been a very taboo subject. For many years, under don't ask don't tell, many people were kicked out of the military for homosexual behavior. DADT has been repealed but there is still stigma and danger associated with homosexual behavior in uniform. Even more taboo and dangerous are those of us that are married to women and into men. We still face the possibility of expulsion from the military for `infidelity'. Throw in the difficulties with different ranks and the fraternization rules and we face a very difficult situation while serving." The Colonel began.
Sam shifted nervously in his seat.
"Historically, bisexual married men in uniform have been a very discreet and closeted group of individuals right along with their gay counterparts. Now, with DADT being repealed, our gay counter parts don't face the same scrutiny has us in some ways." The colonel continued.
Sam wondered where the hell the Colonel was going with all this. The thought of the sexy man across from him being bisexual too started to churn Sam's cock into attention.
"Technology has made it a little bit easier for some of us to connect. In fact, connecting is what some of have been doing; connecting in order to form a network. A network that will look out for each other and facilitate safe encounters and understanding. We all have a lot to lose and very little mobility in how we conduct ourselves when it comes to guy on guy action." The Colonel paused.
"A network Ð like a group of bi, married military guys that know each other?" Sam interjected cautiously.
"More like a group that looks out for each other and uhhhhh helps each other out if you know what I mean." The colonel continued shifting a bit nervously himself.
"A group that gets each other off?" Sam asked excitedly.
"Yes, you could say that. It's a very closed circle Ð selective and discreet for good reason. The network expands all over the military - Ft. Bragg, Ft. Campbell, Italy, Germany, Joint Base Lewis McChord. There are even air force, marine and navy guys Ð Senior Officers , some even at the General Officer Level, Senior enlisted. You can only be brought into the network by someone already known and trusted in the network and not everyone knows the identities of others in the network for obvious reasons. It's a bit comical and ridiculous how much it's like a spy network." The Colonel remarked.
"Why us? What makes you think that we wouldn't blab about it or expose it?" asked Sam nervously.
"We never invite anyone in that hasn't already incriminated themselves through sexual conduct or other actions like photos or messages. If you burn us down, you're destroying your own career too." The Colonel said. "No one has to join. It's an offer, an opportunity for a safer way to be who you are and have the kind of sexual fun you want."
"So what is this change you're offering?" Sam inquired.
"We rarely pull strings but we'd like you to come to DC area. There's a large group of us there and Colonel Fenzel actually suggested that we find a way to pull you two in," The Colonel proclaimed.
"Colonel Fenzel suggested that!? That guy hated us. He wanted to bury us on all of this Ð ruin our careers. That man would have run us over if he had the chance!" Blurted Sam heatedly.
"He's been known to over react. I assure you it was mostly a show Ð posturing . He wasn't sure if you two were going to burn him. He would have never actually gone through with it. You're right though from the sounds of it, he could have reacted a lot better. He sends his apologies." The Colonel divulged.
Sam gaped at the Colonel in disbelief. "You can't be serious? That guy sends his apologies? I'm surprised he didn't send an assassin." Sam uttered.
"Be glad you received any kind of apology at all. That's very much unlike him. He said he enjoyed you guys though, despite the stunt you pulled unloading your balls into his ass without his consent. In the end, he actually ended up really liking that part from the way he tells it." The Colonel disclosed.
"So you're offering us the chance to be re-assigned to the DC area so we can be in proximity to you, Colonel Fenzel and the rest of this group?" Sam questioned.
"Yes we are. We have some `friends' at HRC that were willing to be accommodating on this change of plans. You know how difficult the permanent change of station process can be. Luckily, you're both eligible to leave so it wasn't too difficult to make a few discreet calls throughout the network. If you're willing, we can have your Request for Orders cut in a matter of days with orders coming shortly thereafter."
Sam paused as his mind whirred with so many thoughts. He was rock hard thinking about all of the possibilities.
"I'm surprised to see you hesitate at all lieutenant. You wouldn't be disappointed by the options the group offers. Again, everyone doesn't know everyone but there are a wide range of VERY attractive military men in this group Ð all shapes and sizes, ranks and ages and ethnicities" The colonel enticed.
"You're going to make this same offer to Major Condley?" Sam asked.
"Yes I will. I'd personally like to have you both in the group." The Colonel said smiling very pointedly at Sam.
"So I'd be seeing you within the group then?" He asked the Colonel.
"If you wanted to. No ones forced to see anyone or do anything they don't want to do but I'd very much like to spend some more timeÉ errrrÉguiding you as a young officer." The Colonel stated, smiling wide.
Sam's cock throbbed at the thought of getting to hook up with Colonel Gorham.
"I'm in!" Sam stated excitedly.
A day later, Sam bumped into Major Condley in the office hallway. The Major grabbed him by the shoulder and guided him into an empty office, closing the door.
"I hear you talked to the Colonel," Matt said smiling.
"I did and you did as well?" Sam asked smiling right back.
"Oh I did and I was very excited at what he had to say." Matt replied.
"So we're both going to DC then?" Sam asked.
"Fuck yes we are. My dick has been hard all day thinking about the possibilities!"
"When you do you leave?" Asked Sam.
"4 months from now. You?" Replied Matt
"3 months." Stated Sam.
"Lucky bastard you better save some of the fun for me!" Matt said excitedly leaning in to kiss Sam. "I'm so happy we get to stay together and explore some more fun!"
"Me too!" Sam said giving the Major's rock hard cock a quick squeeze through his uniform.
"Off to DC we go!" Matt said almost yelling.
