Shepard's Mill in the summer is the nicest time, and it's good to be home. I'm Josh, now 22, who was 19 when I got back from my first year at State College, and back in my small town. This is the story of my college roommate and myself in that summer.
My plan was to goof off for a bit, then look for a job. Not a lot of places for jobs here, so I figured the typical waiting tables or house painting or something random like that. But first a few days to chill.
I learned a lot in my first year, and most of that was what I couldn't tell a living soul in this town. I discovered internet porn on my mobile phone, and more than that, found out something that I hadn't had enough time to think about in the last weeks of the terms.
My roommate Adam was from a town 30 minutes away. We got along great and he wasn't the problem. It was me. I found out I got turned on watching men cum, from online porn videos. But what happened after that was something I hoped Adam would never find out, and still felt guilty about.
I had come back to the dorm early one morning and found he left tissues he had jerked off in on his bed. All I can say is the smell of his cum was like a sexual awakening. I breathed in his man scents as I fantasized him lying in his dorm bed jerking off, his spurts of cum in the tissue inches from my noise. I was consumed with desire and jerked off to an incredible climax smelling his scent.
I quickly left the room before he got back, making sure he couldn't tell anyone had been there. After that there was an agony of guilt and self-doubt. I made it through finals, and as far as I knew, Adam had no idea of my secret.
Now at home for a week, I had kind of eased in to my previous home life. I had avoided my online porn viewing and jerked off in a desultory way, just to relive the pressure, not to embrace lustful desires.
One morning at breakfast my dad mentioned he saw Joe Bramlett in town. The Bramlett's were neighbors, having a farm nearby. Old man Bramlett had rented out his arable land years ago, and had since passed away. His wife, who had kept the house and some old barns and out buildings had passed away herself last spring. Her son Joe, who had moved away a long time ago was back to clean up the house and the land to sell.
Dad said Joe was looking for some help cleaning out the house and thought it would be good for a strong college boy like you. I agreed to talk to him, as it would be perfect, nearby, cash probably and pretty flexible.
I went over to the farm the next morning. We agreed to a plan, start with the house, he would tag the items, goodwill, trash, auction, family, etc., and I would get them moved and transported accordingly. He suggested if I had a friend, it would be best, as he really didn't want to do any of the work himself, and one person couldn't clear the furniture themselves.
I instantly though of Adam, my college roommate. I knew he didn't have a job lined up, and this would be a good turn to get him some cash.
I called him that afternoon, and we agreed to meet Joe at the house the next morning. I gave him directions to my house; he would pick me up and I would show him the way to the farm house.
Next morning, I was just finishing breakfast and the doorbell rang. My mom got it and said, "Oh, you must be Adam, Josh has told us all about you."
I guess moms have a build in function to make their kids cringe. I got up and shook his hand. He looked great. He is a bit taller than me, dark hair and eyes, where I am fair and hazel eyes. We both hadn't gone too much to the freshmen 15. "Great to see you", I said, "Want a cup of coffee before we head over?"
"Thanks, no. I'm all set."
I told mom not to wait dinner, as I was not sure when we would get done.
Once in the car, I felt a little awkward. I still had some guilt about my perversion. "How are you? Nice to be home after finals week?"
Adam laughed, "Oh, after a year at college Jenksville seems a bit too small for me now."
"I know what you mean, but it is comfortable for me here. The last few weeks at school were tough. I can clear my head a bit here."
As I directed him to the house, I realized how much I missed him. It felt good to be near him. I promised myself I wouldn't do anything ever again to screw up our friendship.
We met with Joe and got our orders. The house was large, and jammed with more than a century of knickknacks, ancient furniture, fancy plates, glasses and everything no longer fashionable.
Joe had started to tag what he wanted done with the stuff, so we cleared areas, moving stuff around into groups. The day flew by. Joe took a look at what we had accomplished and said we were doing a great job. He proposed getting the house cleared, the out buildings, pull saplings from the overgrown garden and till it, and a list of things. "I think I can get you work all summer here."
"That's great, Thanks." I said
Adam looked at me and said "I'm not sure about the whole summer. It is a bit of a drive and my car isn't that great".
I explained to Joe, "He lives in Jenksville."
Joe thought for a minute. "I think you guys can do a good job for me, and I want to try and get you hired. How about I let Adam stay in the out building with the hayloft. It was the farm hands rooms and has beds, electricity and still should have running water with a shower and toilet." You can stay for nothing while you are working, no one's using it and if it helps you out, great."
I looked at Adam, and he looked at me. "Thanks Mr. Bramlett, that's a great idea. I can go home weekends, but during the week stay here. I think we have a deal."
So began the Hayloft Summer.
It took three weeks to clear the farm house. We rented a truck to take the heavy stuff to its destination, and cleaned and washed the inside and outside. Joe was happy and though it was hard work, it was nice working together. I felt completely comfortable now with Adam. My little peccadillo was behind me as they say.
Adam had cleared enough of the rooms in the hayloft building to be a small, clean space for him. Sometimes we got take out and ate there, or I made a deal with my mom that I would buy groceries if Adam could come over for dinner every once in a while. Usually, each night I was pretty tired, and after dinner, a quick shower and a sound sleep.
It was time to actually tackle the hayloft. It was the top floor, and had a large sliding door and a hoist facing the drive. There hadn't been any hay in the loft for years. But what was there was thick with dust and heavy. Marble wash stands, gigantic wardrobes, you name it, it was stashed up there and all had to come out.
We started Monday morning. By ten o'clock we were drenched in sweat. Adam took off his shirt. "I'm sticking to my clothes I'm so sweaty."
His naked torso sent a pang through me. I thought I was over this I thought to myself.
"Take your shirt off before you melt," he laughed. "Come on Josh." He started to unbuckle his pants. "My jeans are soaked too." He kicked his shoes off and pants, leaving him in white jockeys.
He came over to where I was standing and grabbed the bottom edge of my T-Shirt and pulled up.
"Doesn't that feel better? Some breeze will cool you off faster with bare skin."
I was frozen. I couldn't help look at the jockeys. He had been sweating, and the wet white fabric was nearing see through.
