Darren had set up a perfect camp site up on the rise. We put our packs in the tent but of course stayed naked.
"It just feels so good to be out in nature completely nude," said Bao. "I wouldn't have dared before I came here. I would have been too shy, but now, it feels completely natural!"
But he seemed to have a permanent 75% erection and it was doing my head in and I was sure Darren would have been crazier. I noticed his cock was also permanently semi-erect and leaking precum, as was mine.
Darren gave us each a VB stubbie and he and I sat on the fallen gum and drank them. Bao took his beer but he couldn't sit still. He wandered around with his stubbie in one hand and his phone in the other taking photos. The sun had broken through and the overcast rapidly evaporated leaving a beautiful blue afternoon sky with a field of fluffy white clouds. The cicadas finally got up to full volume. Bao made a recording.
"Do you mind if I take all our photos? I won't show it to anyone. I just have to have something to remember this by. You guys have made me so happy."
"Yeah, no worries," said Darren. I nodded. Bao went into the tent and emerged with a selfie stick. I happened to notice it was new. In fact, everything he had, his pack, his hiking boots, his clothes, his flip-flops looked very new to me. I wondered how much his job was paying. He took our photo, him between Darren and me sitting on the fallen gum. All of us naked. All of us semi-erect.
"Do you think the people in those houses across there can see us?" He asked Darren.
"Maybe. If they've got a telescope or good binoculars, but you'd be surprised how much cover these trees give. From here you can see those houses clearly but if you were over there, all you would see over here are trees."
"Oh." Bao actually seemed disappointed.
The clouds started to redden as the sun headed for the horizon somewhere behind us. It would be a long summer twilight. Nevertheless, Darren got the fire going. He had collected a lot of firewood preparing for this night.
"Hey Bao, have you ever smoked weed?" He asked.
"Weed? What is it?"
"Um, Cannabis, Marijuana, pot?"
"Oh, no. I used to smoke cigarettes in China. Everyone smoked there but I gave it up when I came here. They're too expensive here."
"Do you want to try?"
"Umm, do you do it Mark?"
"Yes, though I hadn't smoked it for years before meeting him again."
"Okay. I'll try it."
Darren went into the tent and brought out his picnic blanket again and spread it on the ground near the fire. He went back into the tent and I'd expected he'd bring out his joint making kit but he brought out a glass bong.
We all sat on the picnic blanket. Darren gave a short instructional talk and demo to Bao on how to use it which Bao had no problem following. We passed it around and Darren periodically repacked the cone. Before long we were all stoned.
Bao laid back on the blanket and looked up into the sky,
"Wow... I love you guys. I love you guys so much. I'm so so happy."
"I'm curious about something," began Darren now also laying back. "You two guys. The moment I saw you I could tell you love each other. I don't know how you hide it at your university. It must be obvious to anyone... but... don't you have a problem having sex with other guys? I sucked your cocks, both of you have sucked mine. And..."
Darren rolled over and whispered in my ear.
"Does he know I fucked you?"
"Yeah."
"And you know I fucked Mark a few weeks ago. Bao? Don't you mind?"
"Nope," said Bao.
Darren got up and looked at him.
"Come on Bao, why?"
He was silent for a while then he said,
"Yes. I love Mark. I think about him all the time when I'm not with him. Sometimes at night I think about him and I get so happy I actually cry. I love him for millions of reasons and every time I'm with him, he adds to the reasons. I think he's added another million today. Yes, sex must be one of those reasons. I'm gay and he's a man. I don't think I could feel everything I feel about him with a woman. But sex is only one of the reasons and mostly I have sex with him because I love him. I love to give him pleasure and make him cum. I don't love him because I have sex with him. Sex and love are different. I have sex with other guys for fun, for pleasure, not because I love them."
"So... you only had sex with me for fun Bao?"
I actually started to cry when I listened to Bao talk about me but now I thought Darren was being a bit too heavy.
"Yes Darren. I sucked your cock because it was fun, but... I really like you. In fact I'm falling in love with you too. That's got everything to do with you taking me out on your back in the lake, teaching me to swim, for inviting me to come down here, for making this camp, for giving me that bong, for being a great guy, for having a beautiful body, for having a beautiful smile and yes, for sucking my cock and because I sucked yours. I never understand why people think they can only love one person at a time, as if love is in limited supply."
"Oh Mark," said Darren. "Where did you find this beautiful guy?"
"He fell from the stars I think."
Bao was between us. We both rolled onto our sides and kissed him. He smiled up into the trees.
Darren got up and put some more wood on the fire and then packed another cone. We passed the bong around again and then we laid back down and looked up into the sky and the flying sparks from the fire. After a few minutes Bao said something very surprising. He was obviously very stoned.
"I'm feeling so so horny. Let's do something together, all three of us?"
I rolled onto my side and looked at him,
"What have you got in mind Bao?"
"Umm... I don't know... you guys think of something!"
"Actually..." said Darren. He sounded hesitant. "I was kind of hoping... Well... I've never been fucked... so..."
(I suspected that was what Darren had in mind when he suggested that Bao come down here weeks before.)
