Chapter Two
Mumbling and extricating themselves the cum-covered trio fell silent.
DJ instinctively collected the posing straps and muscle mags, all the while knowing he was probably going to be blamed for what had just happened. The sullen spectre of teen guilt seemed to hang in the air. Staring out the window, he heard the shower go on, then saw Juan go into the bedroom. The muscular gymnast went to the sink and then used a cloth to clean up all the telltale boy cream. He wasn't used to feeling lousy, especially after something as mind-blowing as what they'd just done together.
After all of them had showered and dressed, they one-by-one drifted back into the kitchen, sitting once again around the table. Tony stared in a pout out at the storm, which, if anything, had only gotten more intense.
"I think you owe all of us a new beer," Tony said to DJ without looking away from the window. "And if you or Juan say one single word---to ANYONE....."
"Hey," DJ said, stumbling over his chair to obey Tony's accusing demand, "---you think I'm completely nuts?" He took out three more, then handed them over, not able to look his buddies in the eye. "It just, um, happened---ok?"
"Rain must make him horny," Juan said, raising his can in an attempt at a toast.
"---must make us ALL horny, you mean," Tony muttered. "---or else it's the beer."
"You gotta at least admit one thing," DJ looked back-and-forth between them. "---those muscle books are pretty friggin' amazing, huh? I couldn't believe it when I came across them."
Juan rolled his eyes at Tony. "Hell, Deej, there's total hardcore booty all over the friggin' net and you get all hot over a bunch of guys wearing cowboy hats and little G-strings."
Tony's smile was crooked and sly. "You gotta admit they ARE pretty hot, man." He looked over at the garage door. "You sure no one's gonna come in here? What if your folks'd walked in while we were......?"
"I TOLD you guys," DJ complained, "---they're in friggin' MAINE with Uncle Jim!" He crossed his arms, biceps flexing. "Godamn! It's always like you never trust me. You want proof of THAT now, too?" He threw back his beer, some of it missing his mouth.
"Sure is wild out there," Juan said. "At least the lightning's stopped. How many other cabins are there?"
"None," DJ said. "He bought it in friggin' 1945 or something---he says he won't sell lots till he's fished it clean of smallmouth."
Tony put his empty down with the pile of others and absently pulled at his crotch. "Get me another---SLAVE," he smiled darkly at DJ.
Juan gave Tony a conspiratorial smile. "Gonna make him pay?", he asked, nodding at DJ to bring him one, too.
"He's always the one to dream up trouble. Hell, all this beer alone is trouble! I don't even want to know how you got hold of it."
DJ laughed and sat back down, popping the tabs for the other two. "He's got so much booze stacked in the garage, I could sell it and he wouldn't know."
"The most I ever had was two---at my brothers' wedding." Tony's voice was getting thicker. Of the three, he was the only one who felt free to admit his innocence. He was older than the other two, having had to repeat two grades. Even so, he looked a good five years older than nineteen and a half.
"I am....gettin' a bit hammered, I must say," Juan announced, grinning.
"And I'm still horny!", DJ giggled, tipping his chair back.
"When I beat off?" Tony's swallow was sloppy, running down his unshaven jaw. "---it only seems to make me get goin' all over again!" He wiped his dimpled chin. "---makes me wish I never started."
"What's wrong with that?", DJ asked, staring back, "I jack off every chance I get!"
"---wouldn't if you were Catholic," Tony sounded sullen. "---wouldn't if you had to confess it every friggin' Wednesday."
"You aren't gonna confess THIS....I mean what happened just now?" Juan stammered.
Tony snorted. "I'm Catholic, but I'm not fuckin' crazy." He felt the weight of his beer, wondering how empty it was. "Tell me somethin'...."
Juan and DJ looked over at the darkly handsome Italian. Tony's eyes shifted as he centered himself on his chair. He looked down at the table. "Do I look like a freak to you guys?"
DJ actually spewed out beer. "A freak??"
Juan's large brown eyes widened even more. "What're you SAYIN'?"
"Yeah. I mean, I'm such a gorilla." He looked at them challengingly. "You two are nice'n smooth all over--'cept under your arms and, you know....."
"....down here," DJ grinned, shoving his jeans down to show off his vee of golden bush.
"Yeah," Tony looked at the blond teen's little display. "And like in the locker room?" He swigged more beer. "There wasn't a hairy chest anywhere. Only the coach---only he's not nineteen."
"Totally, totally hot, man," Juan said earnestly.
"Totally," DJ nodded emphatically. "Hell, even COACH wished he had your body--- I saw him check you out once, man. And he was lookin' at ALL you had goin'!"
"Awww, fuck that," Tony couldn't help but grin. "You're the ones who matter the most," he said, kicking the table leg. "You two were in wrestling and gymnastics. I just heaved the iron around in the garage."
"So?", Juan shrugged. "Westling's okay, I guess, but all I got out of it was some new enemies. Every time I pinned a dude, he'd whisper some stupid threat in my ear."
"You're OUR hero," DJ said to Tony, checking the window, seeing how the storm was finally passing. "Every chick on the planet wants you." He got up to get a new set of Coors. "And instead, you hang out with us!"
"Chicks bore me," Tony said, accepting another brew. "I guess it's because I only have brothers."
"I never see 'em around," Juan said, finally spying a little blue in the sky.
"We used to mess around some before they got married," Tony said, gazing out the window at the lake. His eyes grew soft and dark. "We sure did mess around....."
"I'm never getting married," DJ and Juan practically said at the same time. They laughed and pointed at each other.
Tony shoved his beer at theirs, the three quickly toasting themselves. "Here's to just US," he vowed.
"Godamn!", DJ grinned, swallowing a third of his at once.
