"And then the dumb son of a bitch thought he would try to outrun the bull."
Everyone except my cousin, Sean, the butt of the joke, laughed at his expense.
"Yeah, well, I didn't know," Sean said bitterly though a smile teased his lips.
Sean, his brother, Shane, my two brothers, Ethan and Eric, and I were sitting around in our aunt and uncle's barn. The whole family and some close friends had gathered for the end of summer holiday and to surprise our grandparents who had recently celebrated their fifty-fifth wedding anniversary. With the party over, us boys had retreated to the seclusion of the wooden structure to have our own time alone to catch up and reminisce. Shane and Sean also had two sisters who, along with my husband, Tim, had remained in the house with the others, understandably not wanting to be involved with whatever trouble and fraternal fighting the five of us would surely get into.
As our laughter died down, Shane, who, like me, was thirty-one, looked around the barn fondly. "Boy, having you guys here, this place brings back memories."
"Sneaking beers and hiding from switches and ass whoopin's?" Ethan asked having been a part of some of those experiences.
"That, too," Shane said with a smirk. "I lost my virginity in that stall to Carol Rae Miller."
Exclamations and curses of surprise broke out.
"Yep. And I took Penny Davis's over there," he said without remorse, almost boasting.
Our eyes went wide and we glanced over to Eric who had an angry expression on his face.
"You? You were the one who did that? Man, she was my girlfriend."
Shane rolled his eyes. "Don't be mad. Hell, you even said she was a lousy lay."
"But that was my girlfriend. I was supposed to be her first."
Shane shrugged. "If it makes you feel better, I fucked all of their girlfriends, too. Some more than once."
While I sat quietly, not really surprised by that revelation, the other guys began to yell at Shane who did little more than smile unapologetically and finish off his beer before opening another one. We'd all already had one too many and with the turn in the conversation to sex and Shane's confessions, I began to worry about my own secret coming out.
"Man, Ed," Ethan said to me. "You're so fucking lucky you're gay. At least that way you know he wasn't going to go after your boyfriends."
Even though we lived in a rural town, I had come out as a freshman in high school and was surprised by how little push back I had gotten. There was some, but my friends and family, with Shane being the most visible and vocal of my supporters, had backed me up and after he and I beat one guy to a pulp, no one else said anything about me or gave me grief.
I shrugged in response to Ethan and hoped my face didn't betray my nervousness but Shane caught it. His eyes locked with mine and a wide smile broke out on his face. With a look and a small shake of the head I silently pleaded for him to remain quiet but I knew it was not going to happen.
"With good old Edward there, I didn't need to go after his boyfriends."
"What do you mean 'you didn't need to go after his boyfriends'?" Eric asked looking between us.
I closed my eyes and sighed heavily in resignation as Shane said, "Thanks to me, even before he completely came out, he was well versed in taking dick."
The barn fell silent and when I opened my eyes, our brothers were looking between us in shock.
Obviously enjoying himself, Shane continued. "Oh, yeah. Everything he knows about servicing a cock is because of me. Hell, not only did I give him his first dick to suck, I popped his cherry, too."
"Bullshit," Sean said slowly with a tone that made it obvious he was not quite convinced Shane was pulling his leg.
Shane beamed with pride. It was subtle but I saw the hand that was already resting on his lap inch over and begin to play with his package. "Hell, yeah, I did. Whenever we had sleepovers or went camping there was a reason why the two of us always shared a tent or kicked you guys out of the room and it wasn't because we were the oldest. Hell, there were times that you little shits nearly caught us when he was sucking my dick or giving up his ass in one of these stalls or up in the rafters. Thankfully, y'all were some noisy sons of bitches and we could hear you coming. You guys know I was always in some pussy but he loved dick, or at least mine, just as much if not more. A few times I took out a girl and didn't even try to fuck her because he had drained me."
All eyes focused on me and my obvious embarrassment provided the corroboration for his story.
"Holy shit."
"Unfuckingbelievable."
