COMPASSION

Chapter 20

Jack was absolutely delighted when Darren called and let him know everything was ok, well, as ok as it could be given the circumstances. Jack could look at Paul and see the little boy he fell in love with, he was so much like his biological father. He realised that his love for this gentle boy was at least as great as for his own biological son, added to which, Paul was going to be the rancher.

Before the end of the semester the dads got a telephone call from Paul.

"Pa, can I bring a friend home for the holiday?"

Darren looked at Jack. They had taken the call on speaker phone so both heard it simultaneously.

"Sure Son. What kind of friend is he?"

Paul sniggered. "The sort of friend who won't want a separate bedroom."

Jack was feeling wicked, as well as totally elated by the request.

"Definitely not, there are enough queers in this family already."

Then he laughed, and Darren and Paul laughed with him.

"Of course you can Son. Want to tell us anymore about this friend?"

Michael came on the line then.

"He'll only bullshit you. Let me tell you, the guy is a ne'er do well, you won't want him anywhere near my little brother."

Both dads were rolled up with laughter as they heard the brothers in a fight.

"I'll get you for that, you are so dead."

"I'm just telling the folks the truth."

Most of this was barely intelligible because the boys were rolling around the floor. When it all settled down Michael picked up the cell and resumed.

"Seriously guys, he's really good for and to Paulie, so I approve. I'd kill him if he wasn't."

They heard Paul's response.

"I love you looking out for me now, Mikey."

Two very happy Dads sat down for dinner that night with Katelyn and Derek.

"I think your youngest boy has grown up at last Kate. He's bringing his boyfriend home for the holidays."

Everybody was happy with that.

"I hope the guy likes ranching, I don't fancy leaving this place to two sons who are absentee owners."

"If they don't take the ranch Jack, I'm sure Raul and Andy will groom replacements as they get older. I just pray that Michael will produce another male Hancock to take the ranch forward."

"We can always persuade Paul to do the same as us, then we will have an heir and a spare."

They all laughed because they had heard that expression relating to William and Harry, the heir to the British Throne and his brother.

Jack wasn't really that worried. He didn't have his father's desire for heirs. Probably because of his sexuality, heirs weren't that high a priority. Thinking of his parents brought worry lines to his forehead, picked up by Darren naturally.

"What is it Lover."

"Oh nothing really. I was just thinking about the parents. I suppose they'll be the next worry. I know Papa Paul isn't well and my Mum has been quite ill again."

"You just stop worrying, I keep a close eye on all four of them."

Jack nodded, he knew, but they were all in their late 70's and had all worked hard all their lives so the bodies were getting worn out.

First though, was the new boyfriend. He turned out to be quite a shock. Not quite a clone of Michael, but close enough. In nature he was the same, a gentle giant, well, not quite a giant, who quite patently loved Paul. Thomas Jefferson had taken stick all his life because of his name and had developed the sense of humour necessary to maintain a popular character.

"I'm so pleased to meet you Mr. Hancock and Mr. Michaels. Thank you for allowing me into your home."

Darren and Jack looked at each other and read each other's thoughts. What a delightful and polite young man.

"It's our pleasure Thomas. Paul will settle you in, and then you can join us in the lounge."

Mike stayed with his two dads.

"I know what you're thinking and I thought the same, but Paulie is happy guys, we can't ask more than that."

"If that's the case the boy is definitely welcome here. How did they meet?"

"Thomas is taking Media studies as an extra because he is studying politics. They carried out a project together and the next thing I knew was being banned from our room on occasions."

Michael laughed then.

"It was great fun once I was sure of the relationship. I tell Paulie I sit outside the door just to hear the noises they make. He beats me up every time I say it, but still holds back on anything that might hurt my back. I'll never have someone that loves me and worries about me like he does."

That was enough to make two dads very happy and ensure acceptance of this new man in the family. Thomas wasn't going to be a rancher but he might be a useful tool in the family armoury if he went into politics locally. The only thing that mattered to Jack and Darren though was that he was good for and too Paul.

Thomas cemented his place in the Hancock/Michaels family that holiday. He rode well and was enthusiastic learning what Paul was more than willing to teach him. He thought Raul and Andy were stunning human beings and cemented his place on the ranch with his obvious love and respect for the four gay seniors.

At the end of the holiday Michael confessed to his two dads that he missed the close contact of his younger brother.

"I can't win Dad, Pa, can I. I'm not gay, but I so love Paul and the close contact we have always had. Now he has a boy friend I feel left out. I just hope I feel different when I find a girl to love. If I don't I guess I'm going to have to be gay to get my brother back."

He was laughing as he said the last bit, but his thoughts weren't. `How far would I be prepared to go to keep Paulie close to me like we've always been?'

Back to college though with a happy Paul and Thomas.

Michael had never tried to spy on his brother and Thomas but quite by accident, the day after returning to college he walked in on Thomas giving Paul a blowjob. He was fascinated and just stood watching until they saw him.

"I'm sorry Paulie, I've never seen two guys getting it on, this looked hot and where did you get such a long cock little bro?"

Paul blushed, Thomas didn't look phased at all.

"Sorry Thomas, yours looks bloody impressive as well."

Thomas smiled and replied.

"Well thanks Michael, why don't you strip down and join us, then we can get a look at yours as well."

Paul, emboldened by Thomas's easy acceptance of the situation saw a chance to see Michael with an erection. This would be the stuff of dreams. Michael could see the look in Paul's eyes and wondered if he would damage the new found relationship if he did.

`Oh hell, this could be fun', was his thought and he started to take his clothes off.

"If I complete the strip tease can I watch you finish off what you were doing when I came in?"

"No problem as far as I'm concerned."

Paul looked with shock at his lover and then grinned, "Ok, why not."

Michael was very soon erect. Watching Thomas devour his brother's long cock was such a turn on. After a few minutes of Thomas blowing Paul, they hopped onto the bed and went 69ing. Now that was amazing to Michael, he thought that if they progressed to anal he would cum without touching himself. He couldn't believe how turned on he was watching gay sex. Had he been kidding himself all along, was he gay, or maybe Bi. If he was Bi, that would cause problems unless he found a girlfriend that would allow him to have sex with his brother as well as her. Ridiculous, it was just that Paulie was such a cute guy and Thomas really did look more like his brother than Paul did.

It did progress to anal, and watching Thomas fucking his brother brought tears to Michael's eyes. Paulie so obviously loved the feel of a cock inside him and Thomas was so gentle. Their orgasms when they came were amazingly intense leaving both boys gasping. It was ages before they calmed down enough to remember that Michael was still watching, and both blushed heavily.

"That was amazing guys, can I try it with one of you now?"

Michael was laughing but he was half serious. He realised he would like to try anal intercourse and he didn't expect to be able to do that with a girl. Of course, it was Thomas he wanted to try it with. He thought that doing it with Paul would be very damaging.

Paul couldn't say anything, his thoughts alone almost made him cry. How he would love Michael to do to him what Thomas had. He loved Thomas, but would drop him tomorrow if he could have his brother. That session gave Michael an incredible dilemma. He would love to try it, but only with Paul, that could not happen. He was sure the action would open up the love lust scenario again causing Paul too much heartache.

Nothing changed then for the remainder of college. Crunch came just before the end of their final semester. Thomas finished exams early and was due to take up his first career appointment, in Washington.

"I'm sorry Paul, I love you, but unless you can come to Washington I guess our romance is going on hold for the foreseeable future."

Paul was shattered. They had never discussed it but he assumed that Thomas would get into politics locally and live at the ranch. He was quite distraught when he saw Thomas off and ran back to his dorm crying his eyes out. Michael was there and did his best to comfort his little brother. Nothing would stop the bloodletting and by bedtime both brothers were exhausted. Michael undressed Paul to put him to bed. Seeing his naked brother lying there crying was almost heart stopping.

"Please Mikey, come to bed with me, I need a cuddle."

Mike stripped as well and slid into bed with Paul, spooning him. That way he could stroke his body gently helping to calm him down. Small bed, grown men, bodies very close, the feel of Paul's butt cheeks on his cock got Mike a hard on. Paul snuggled closer and whispered, "I love you so much Mikey, promise you won't ever leave me?"

Mike couldn't answer straight away because he realised, he didn't want to. His whole life had revolved around his little brother.

"I promise Paulie, goodnight."

Mike kissed Paul on the side of the neck before slowly dropping off to sleep thinking about his promise. He had been sidelined a little by Thomas's presence and he realised he didn't like it. Paul meant so much to him, he was everything except a lover and now he had made a promise to be with him forever. How could he make a life with a wife, his life was here with this boy/man. Restless sleep, but when he woke in the morning to see his brother's smiling face only inches away he gasped, realising how wonderful that was. Paul leant in further and kissed him on the lips, a gentle brush before returning for a more intense one.

"I love you Michael Hancock, I could die of happiness if I woke up like this every morning."

Mike wrapped an arm round Paul, pulling their bodies close together, both feeling the other's erection.

"I love you as well Paul Michaels and I want to get rid of that hard pole in between us."

No one sniggered, this was a serious declaration from Mike, Paul was way too fearful of this being a joke to risk a change of mind.

Mike wouldn't allow Paul to do anything, he just pushed him flat on his back, removed the bedcovers and started kissing his way down Paul's torso until he was at the groin. The cock still surprised him, it was too long for a little chap, but he still nearly licked it away. He loved the feel of the glans and mapping it with his tongue was too much for Paul, he had the most incredible orgasm, intensifying as he realised Mike was swallowing his love juice.

"I'm sorry Mike, I promise I'll last longer if you do it again."

There were tears in the eyes that Mike licked away.

"I'll do it again, and much more if you'll let me."

Paul had never been happier, his big brother had promised to be with him forever and was now having sex with him.

Lectures were a nightmare for both of them. Mike couldn't believe how incredible it felt giving Paul a blowjob. Watching Paul and Thomas had definitely awakened something. He wasn't worried about the idea of being gay, he just still wasn't sure. Doing it with Paul didn't seem wrong. He would never love another human being like he loved his brother. The devotion Paul had shown during his years in a wheelchair had been awesome. An eleven year old boy should have got bored wet nursing a crippled brother, but Mike couldn't remember once in those six following years that Paul had been anything else but caring, attentive and loving. Oh, hell, he was going for broke. Anal sex was on the cards for that night. He would have to let Paul teach him because he knew that lubricant came into it but not much else. After he had fucked his brother, would he ever want to do it again with a woman?

Paul's thoughts weren't too far removed from Mike's. `Will he do that again, will we move on and consummate our love with him fucking me. Oh God, let the answer to that be, yes.'

The dorm room atmosphere was so thick you could almost cut it when both boys arrived after lectures. Neither would look at the other, they pussyfooted around each other, addressed each other in monosyllables and generally acted like ten year olds with an embarrassing problem.

Mike decided he had to make the first move after the tension between the two had become almost unbearable. He grabbed Paul by the shoulders facing him and spoke.

"I love you so much, and what I did to you last night gave me pleasure beyond measure. I still don't know if I'm gay, but tonight I want to make complete love to you. Will you help me, I don't know how to do it with a guy?"

To see the look on Paul's face would have had you in hysterics if you could have seen it. The eyes flew open so wide it was a wonder they didn't fly out of the sockets, the grin was so broad his mouth only stopped splitting his head in two because the corners had reached the ears, (well maybe not quite), and the hands were flapping as he tried to decide what to do with them. That problem was solved at last when he grabbed Mike's face in his hands and planted a kiss on his brother's lips that was so intense it nearly stopped Mike's heart.

Pulling back from the kiss Paul burst into tears.

"Oh yes Mikey, anything you want to do to me is ok. I love you, I love you so much. Can we do it now? We can 69 first and I'll do to you what you have to do to me before you can fuck me."

Mike was laughing now, the enthusiasm for the proposed action was definitely over the top.

"Do you think we should shower first Little Lover?"

"Oh yes Mikey, anything you want."

Inevitable actions in the shower had both brothers almost breaking the tiles with the power of their orgasms.

"I don't remember any girl giving me an orgasm that good. Maybe I've been kidding myself all these years that I was a straight boy."

"Oh God, Mikey, I hope so. If you were my lover as well as my brother and best friend I don't think I would ever ask for anything again as long as I lived."

Mike laughed. "If that happens I'm going to hold you to that."

By the time they got back to the bed, Paul had become very tense. Mike understood, how could he not? He knew this man almost as well as he knew himself, thinking about it, no, better than himself.

"I don't expect the first time to be perfect, you have to make it a bit clinical so that I don't end up hurting you. Relax Paulie, we'll make it through this, and then the next time I'll know what to do and we can base my feelings on that one."

Mike laid his brother down and crawled on top of him so that their cocks were rubbing together. He started kissing his brother, all over his face, eyes nose, cheeks, lips, all very gently.

"I love you Paulie, I've always loved you. I want us to be as close again as we were before Thomas came on the scene."

"I do too Mikey, I missed our closeness even when I was pretending that it was all good with Thomas. He was nice, but he wasn't you. I don't miss him, but if you ever left me I think I would die."

"I'm never going to leave you, whatever happens in my life, whatever path I take, I'll always come back to you." ******************************************************************************* The love these two have for each other is consummated in the final chapter.
