Tommy and Tanner, chapter 11
Tucker was awakened early by the sun shining in his eyes through the screen "window" in the entrance of the tent. As he looked around, he saw that Tim wasn't in his sleeping bag. He contemplated going back to sleep, but his need to pee kept him from doing it. His morning wood was almost painful from his urgency, so he scrambled out to water a nearby tree and met Tim coming back from the same mission.
"You could've lowered the flap so I could've slept longer," he grumbled.
"And risk having you wet your sleeping bag?" Tim teased, as he squeezed the back of Tucker's neck playfully. "From the looks of that stream, you couldn't have waited much longer."
Tuck grinned as he finished shaking off the last drops. He couldn't stay in a pissy mood around his oldest brother for any length of time. Tim's disposition was usually upbeat in a good way, and the two of them had a pretty strong bond. Tuck looked up to Tim more than anyone else in the family except their dad, perhaps.
While he was outside, Tuck decided to see if anyone else was up. He wandered past the tent where his dad and Lee were sleeping. The only sounds he heard were those of rhythmic breathing and soft snoring. They were evidently still zonked out.
Next, he walked the several yards to where Tommy and Tanner had their tent set up. The back window flap was rolled up and tied, so he peeked in. What he saw made him stop dead in his tracks and nearly stop breathing for the moment. The boys were lying on their sides facing each other. The lower parts of their bodies were covered by a sheet, but the sharp outline of their hips suggested that they were naked. They had their arms around each other and were gently kissing.
Tucker gulped. What they were doing was so gay, but it also looked almost beautiful, like an act of love. Recognizing that he was having mixed feelings, Tucker's stomach churned. How could he accept what they were doing as being okay? Did that mean he was gay?
He hurried back to his own tent and crawled into his bag in order to go back to sleep. However, he couldn't do it because the image of his middle brothers kissing kept appearing in his mind as if seared there by a branding iron.
Just as Tucker was finally beginning to drift off, he heard Tark calling everyone to get up for breakfast so they could get further down the river before a predicted rainstorm moved in. Already the bright sun that had been his alarm clock was hiding behind a cloud.
They ate their meal quickly and washed up their mess kits, but before they could strike their tents, the sky opened up sending them hastily back to their nylon shelters. It looked as if Tuck was going to get more sleep after all.
The rain gave Tommy and Tanner more time to cuddle. They pulled one of the sleeping bags over them and took off their trunks, leaving them naked from the waist down. Soon, their tank tops were shed as well. Making out with their bare skin against each other heightened the feeling of sensuality. Both were beginning to ooze precum.
"How are we gonna keep from soaking our sleeping bags?" Tanner panted.
"I've got my towel. We can clean up with that." Tommy said, helping Tanner slide on top of him.
The effect of rubbing their bodies together, while kissing open-mouthed, added electricity to their already over-charged systems. Within a few minutes they could feel their cum rising. Fortunately, a peal of thunder covered their cries of ecstasy.
When they eventually stopped shaking and moaning, they kissed tenderly until Tommy said he could feel their jizz oozing down his sides. Tanner grabbed the towel to mop up.
They cuddled naked and fell asleep only to awaken twenty minutes later when Tark called out to tell everyone they'd better begin to roll up their bedding because the sky was clearing again.
Their second day on the river started late because of the rain. They found that a number of other campers were in the same situation. The river was more crowded than Tark had seen it in the past. While it was fun to talk to other people occasionally, it did cut down on the possibility of skinny dipping.
When the guys eventually reached a camping area that wasn't already occupied, they were not all that pleased with the site. There were fewer bushes and trees to screen them from the river, so they had to remain dressed most of the time. They could see why this site hadn't been claimed by someone else already. It was too late to chance finding another vacant one, so they made do as best as they could, situating their tents with the backs facing the river.
They cooked over their campfire and managed to have a lot of fun despite their disappointment in not having a more private spot. When it got dark enough not to be seen, they all stripped and bathed in the river before turning in for the night.
The next morning, river traffic seemed even heavier. When they pulled out for a short break, Tark suggested an alternative.
"If we keep paddling steadily today and don't take a lot of breaks, we could reach our pull-out spot in time to camp tonight and call the outfitter in the morning to get the canoes. Then we could camp somewhere else. I know we won't have the freedom to swim au naturel, but to compensate for that, we could go to a nude beach if we all swear not to tell Mom."
"Will there be naked girls?" Tuck asked excitedly.
"Probably. There are usually males and females of all ages swimming and lying in the sun unclothed," Tark informed him."
"I'm in favor of it then!" Tuck responded.
"That's fine with us," Tommy and Tanner agreed.
Lee and Tim nodded their approval as well.
Today they were back to their original seating in the canoes, so Tim and Tucker were together. Tim tried not to make fun of Tuck's nonstop paddling. He seemed to have a lot of motivation to reach their destination. They were soon out of ear-shot of their middle brothers who were openly giggling about Tuck's enthusiasm.
Tark and Lee brought up the rear, knowing that they'd get to the camp in plenty of time without straining. When they couldn't be overheard, Tark took the opportunity to discuss Tommy and Tanner with Lee.
"I very much suspect that those two are gay and that they're in love – at least as much as boys that age can understand that emotion. What's your take on it?"
"Uh, it's really not my place to say."
"Don't you have a kind of sixth sense about other people who are gay? I don't mean anything negative, but aren't gay guys supposed to have `gaydar' or whatever it's called."
"Some of us have it and some don't so much. What I meant was that if they are gay, it wouldn't be my place to tell you. It's their business, not mine."
"I see your point and I respect that. However, if I'm correct, I just can't see why they don't talk to me about it. My boys have always felt free to tell me about anything; and they know I'd be okay with it."
"I'm sure that Tommy knows that more than Tanner does. He knows my story and probably worries that you'll think he's responsible for Tommy being gay, if Tommy really is."
"But I've told them both on numerous occasions that I love them unconditionally. You even heard it."
"Yeah, but I thought my adoptive parents loved me like that too. I can't tell you what to do, but in your shoes I'd find some way to let them know what you suspect and that it's okay with you."
"Thanks for the advice. I'll try to figure out a time on this trip if I can."
"That'll be good and the sooner the better. I'm sure they'll sleep better when it's all done."
They made it to their destination in good time despite the fact that Tim got Tucker to slow down. He teased him that he'd wear his arms out and wouldn't have the strength to stroke his dick if he didn't. Tuck grinned because he liked it that Tim considered him old enough to joke with him about sex.
Tark called the outfitter immediately on beaching the canoes. The dispatcher said she'd send out a man with the trailer immediately because they were short on rentals. She would even give him a refund for the days he wasn't using them.
The guys spent the next few minutes setting up camp. It seemed strange to be tenting that close to other people and having shower facilities after several days of more primitive camping. Their lack of opportunity to skinny dip was somewhat mitigated by the promise of a hot shower.
Because there wasn't a lot to do in the evening, the guys retired early. Tuck was asleep as soon as he hit the sleeping bag since he'd expended so much energy paddling.
Early the next morning, they made a big breakfast and packed up their equipment to head toward the nude beach.
Tark made a couple of stops along the way. First, he headed to a grocery store to buy more food for his hungry brood. Lee insisted on paying his share and more toward groceries. Tark was pleased that the young man wanted to help, and allowed him to do so.
Their next stop was at a campground that was about five miles from the beach. Because the river had been unusually crowded, Tark thought it best to make reservations early in the day instead of taking a chance on having it fill up before they got there in the afternoon.
He was able to secure a site way in back, close to the woods. It would be a longer walk to the shower facilities, but was large enough to accommodate several tents and would allow them more privacy than the closer ones. No one would be walking by on the way to the johns.
Around 10:00, after their new campsite was all set up, they made sandwiches to put in the cooler and packed towels, water bottles, and sun lotion for their time at the beach. Tucker was the first to be ready.
The distance from the parking lot to the river was over a mile. Lee said he thought the state was trying to make it more difficult for people to get there. As they trudged along on the narrow road that led to the beach, they had to move over to one side to allow a car through with a handicapped sticker on it. Evidently there was an accommodation for people with disabilities to be able to sun naked in public.
Once they got to the sandy area by the river, they looked for someplace to park their things. Tark and Lee spread their towels on the sand and quickly took off their shorts. They said they were going to take a walk to the far end to check it out.
Tommy and Tanner had stripped as quickly as the men and were going to spy out the land as well, but chose not to accompany the adults.
Tuck seemed a little nervous. He'd been excited about seeing nude females, but was now acutely aware that he would be naked too.
Tim was having a few giggles at Tuck's expense and the younger boy was not very happy with him at the moment. Ever since he'd shed his clothes, poor Tucker had been lying on his hardon to keep from being embarrassed by it. Tim, on the other hand, was lying on his back only slightly plumped up.
"I'll spread tanning lotion on your back and then you do my back," Tim suggested.
"I can't do that right now!" Tuck exclaimed.
"Is my little brother still sprouting wood?" Tim asked, knowing the answer.
"I'm just trying to get sun on my back," Tuck said petulantly.
"Yeah, riiiight!"
Tim began spreading the lotion on Tucker's legs and back, paying special attention to his bottom.
"Keep your hands off my butt!" Tuck commanded.
"I'm gonna make sure you don't toast your buns so bad that you won't be able to sit for a week. What'll you tell Mom when you have to stand for your meals?" Tim snickered as he purposely spread a bit of the oil in Tucker's crack."
"Get outta there, fag! Now I'll never be able to get up!"
"Okay, I'll stop teasing you, but you'd better be careful about the words you use here. I know that most of the guys to our left are probably gay."
"Seriously?"
"Yup."
"But, Tommy and Tanner went that direction and Dad and Lee did too, does that mean they're all gay? I know I'm not, but I'm not sure about you with your fingers in my ass."
"Being over there doesn't necessarily mean anything about anyone's sexuality. Lee wanted to check it out and was shy about going alone. Dad went with him for moral support. Tommy and Tanner are probably just curious like you."
"I might be a little curious about other guys, but I'm not gay like they are!"
"Who?"
"Lee, Tommy, and Tanner, of course. Who else were we talking about? I'm sure Dad's straight!"
"Does it bother you that Lee is on this trip? Has he been acting strange or coming on to you or anything?"
"Nah, he seems like an ordinary guy."
"So, what's bothering you?"
"I saw Tommy and Tanner kissing in their tent the day it rained."
"Were you spying on them? How'd you like someone spying on you?"
"I didn't mean to. I was checking to see who was awake, honest!"
"Kissing another guy doesn't automatically make you gay. I'm sure you've kissed other guys."
"Family doesn't count! I don't kiss Grandpa or Dad on the lips! Besides, I think they were naked."
"What about when you kissed Bobby?"
"You couldn't have seen that! We were in the room with the door locked. You don't have a video camera hidden in my room, do you?"
"I don't need one. I make unproven statements and you keep verifying my suspicions by how you react."
"Okay. We tried it once because we wanted to learn before we did it with a girl. We never did it again, and kissing a girl is much hotter! I'll bet you've tried it with Chas when you were younger."
"I'm not making any statements about anything I've done with him or anyone else," Tim smiled enigmatically. "This is about you and your other brothers. Would you be really upset if they turned out to be gay?" Tim asked.
"I'm not sure. That's what scares me. They looked so, I don't know, uh... This is gonna sound gay, but they looked kinda sweet. It was like they were sharing their souls, I guess; or some romantic shit like that. If it looked that way to me, does that mean I'm gay too?"
"Definitely not! I don't think you have anything to worry about in that department. Now, could you grease up my back so I don't burn?"
Finding that his hardon had deflated while they were talking, Tuck did as he was asked. Then he and Tim raced each other to the river where the cool water took care of any semi-erections either may have had.
From his vantage point in the river, Tuck scanned the beach for girls. Like his father had predicted, there were females of all ages ranging from toddlers to grandmas. One girl about his own age caught his attention. She had small, developing breasts that looked soft and spongy. His dick began to swell again despite the temperature of the water. He smiled, knowing that his body had just confirmed what he wanted to know!
Everyone reconvened at their beach towels for lunch. The boys wiped out their share of the meal. Tark and Lee grinned at their ravenous appetites.
After lunch, Tark, Tim, and Tuck took their towels and moved further into the "family" section while Tommy, Tanner, and Lee chose to go a little deeper into the territory that was inhabited by males. Lee wanted to be close enough to the boys to protect them if anyone made unwelcome advances, but far enough away to allow them freedom.
Tanner had felt a little concerned about what the family, other than Lee, would think if he and Tommy hung out there, but he was beginning to feel that they should come out to Tark while on this trip, and face the consequences. Tommy had agreed with him.
When they got out of sight of Tark and their two brothers, Tommy reached over and took Tanner's hand in his. At first, Tanner's instincts told him to pull away, and he stiffened. Then he relaxed and enjoyed being able to do what he'd often wished he could as they walked the school halls together.
Two guys who were lying face up on their towels gave the boys the thumbs-up sign when they came closer.
"Hey, you two wanna park your butts near us? There's an old creep around who tried to hit on Trevor awhile ago. I nearly had to beat him off with a stick."
"If I hadn't been around, you'd have probably just beat him off," Trevor snickered. "But Jake's right, there's strength in numbers."
"We're together already," Tommy said, as if to decline the invitation.
"Well, duh! We can see that since you're holding hands. Seriously, we aren't hitting on you. We'd enjoy your company and you aren't exactly hard on the eyes."
Tommy looked at Tanner, who shrugged and grinned. Then the two of them spread their towels near Jake and Trevor.
"I'm Tanner, and this stud is Tommy, my adoptive brother and boyfriend."
"Bros! Do you share a room?" Jake asked.
"Yup, and a double bed," Tommy grinned.
"Wow! That puts a new twist on room service," Trevor joked. "It must be nice. Do your parents know?"
"Not yet, but we're gonna tell Dad, probably tonight back at our campground." Tanner told them. "How about you guys? Do your families know?"
"Nope, we're both too chicken so far. I wish we had your balls," Jake said. "Are you still in high school?"
"Yes, we have three more years," Tommy admitted. "How `bout you?"
"We graduated this spring and we're gonna room together at UW, Madison in the fall. We're already working there and have a cheap room together in someone's basement. It's not the Ritz, but we get to share a bed!" Trevor smiled.
"That's cool," Tommy exclaimed. "Are you guys swimmers?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"You have swimmers' bodies and your pubes look like they've been shaved. Ours got shaved too, but have grown out mostly since winter."
"Our season was over in January, but we like to keep `em trimmed," Jake said. "Trevor doesn't like getting hair in his teeth!"
"Neither do you," Trevor countered.
"I think it's cool, but we'd get a lot of flak from our brothers and other guys at school. Didn't you?"
"Nah, there were several guys who trimmed. Most of them said it was for the ladies, but I think some of them are on our team, and I'm not talking swimming if you get my meaning."
Tommy and Tanner grinned knowingly. They had become more acquainted with gay slang in the past few months.
"Is that hot stud over there your brother?" Trevor asked.
"No, that's my uncle," Tanner said proudly. "He's nicely hung, isn't he?"
"Yup, but Trevor isn't supposed to be noticing other guys," Jake teased.
"So how can you agree with me if you weren't looking earlier? He's had his back turned to us since he sat down."
"Okay, I looked too. I mean, just because I've got what I want doesn't mean I can't window shop!"
They all laughed.
Tommy and Tanner spread more lotion on each other's body and chubbed up a bit in the process. In another time and place, they might have felt embarrassed, but here they didn't mind if their neighbors saw them.
"Are you telling us the truth about what grade you're in?" Jake asked. "You look a lot more mature below the waist!"
"Thanks!" Tommy giggled. "We really are going to be sophomores, but we appreciate the compliment."
They talked with their new acquaintances for several more minutes, continuing their conversation as they moved into the river to take a dip to cool off.
When they got out of the water, they saw some older guy talking to Lee who looked uncomfortable.
"It looks like your uncle is being harassed by that old creep we were telling you about," Jake observed. "Should we all go to his rescue or would he think we were interfering?"
"Let's charge in like the marines!" Tanner exclaimed, leading the way.
"Hey Uncle Lee, is this pervert annoying you?" Tanner asked in a loud voice, eliciting laughter from several other men in the area.
The man ran off without waiting for an answer.
"Uh, thanks for chasing him off," Lee said. "I'm kind of naïve I guess."
"We are too," Tanner replied. "But I figured he'd scatter if he saw Jake and Trevor since they've already had a run-in with him. Oh, this is Jake and this is Trevor. This is my Uncle Lee," he continued making the informal introductions.
Jake and Trevor sat down in the sand after brushing away the top layer which was rather hot. They spent a little while there before saying their good-byes and dressing to head back to Madison.
Soon it was time for the guys to go too. Tark rounded up the troops and they headed for a campground.
