CONNED
Part 4
Nick was in hospital for a week, mainly to build him up from his undernourished state. Whenever food was served to him, there was a full meal for Eddie as well. When he went back to the garage Darren joshed him and said, "When are you going to remove this old wreck and let us get some work done. And the fridge and cupboards in your flat are overflowing with food, so how about inviting us for a meal?"
The old wreck was Nick's car, all gleaming with its new coat of polish, encased in a dustsheet. Eddie couldn't believe the kitchenette. It was as Darren had said.
When Nick came out of hospital he already knew that Eddie's fees were paid, he had a car with a full tank of petrol and the new insurance document and registration papers on the seat. There was enough food to feed them for weeks.
"It has to be dad, Eddie, but I don't understand. I'm going to see him."
"Let me come with you, just in case."
Nick looked at his lover and laughed, "Why do you think he'll lock me up so that I can't see you?"
Eddie blushed, "I don't know Nick, this is just so weird. Why has he allowed both of us to get so ill if he genuinely wants to help?"
So, they went together.
Malcolm Adams welcomed them and wasn't at all surprised that Nick was stiff as he hugged him. Eddie nearly fell over when he got the same hug.
"Eddie, you've met my wife, why don't you join her in the kitchen for a snack while I talk to my son."
Remembering his last contact with Mrs. Adams he was very wary, of course, Nick noticed it.
"I'll be in the study Lover, any problems we can leave, just come and find me."
Malcolm realised he had a lot of ground to make up with his son when Nick's comment showed he didn't trust his parents yet.
"Sit down son and don't interrupt until I'm finished.
"I was fully accepting of your gayness when I found out. Like your mother though, I'm afraid I had a racist moment. I thought the boy might well be a gold digger because I had never known you to have black friends before. I was sure that you would be back here within a few days without your boyfriend. The time went by and I had a private detective keep an intermittent eye on you. I was amazed how yours and Eddie's black friends rallied round. Those two boys in the garage have been incredibly generous. They are all from the poorer end of society but they have all been so giving and caring towards you two. The load you were carrying though was too much even for their generosity and I watched as you made yourself ill caring for your lover. I was sure that the bond between you couldn't be strong enough for you to keep it together. When you went into hospital, I knew that I had been very wrong. Before that I had made things worse by telling Eddie's parents. I wanted to turn the screw to make sure both of you felt the same way about each other.
I'm sorry Nickolas, what I did was wrong, and if you'll let me I want to make it up to both of you. I love you very much son, and I'm so proud of the way you have worked to protect that young man out there with your mother. I'm sure you are going to want to discuss this with Eddie before you make a decision so I have told Darren and Kennie to bill me for your accommodation, and I have restarted your allowance, increased so that you have enough to take care of Eddie as well. I suggest you give notice at all your jobs so that the two of you can concentrate on your studies. When you are ready, if you are ever ready after my shameful behaviour, we would like you to come home. Take Eddie up to your room and show him what we have done and then you can leave when you are ready. Whatever decision you make your mother and I will live with it."
Nick was too shocked to reply. He looked at his father and wondered if this was more manoeuvring to try to break up his relationship with Eddie. He had to get away and talk to Eddie about it. He left the study without a word, found Eddie in the kitchen talking with his mother, apparently completely at ease.
"Eddie, come with me, I want to show you something."
Both boys were goggle eyed at Nick's bedroom. A wall had been knocked down to take in another bedroom and the resulting space had been turned into a bedsit almost. Queen sized bed, lounge area with two computer stations, a dressing room and of course, his previous en- suite. All new furniture, carpets and curtains, and all high quality suitable for college men completed the makeover.
"Mmm, I could live with this Nick."
"I could as well Lover, but we need to talk. Let's get out of here."
They made a direct exit and Nick felt guilty as he saw his mother in tears. He had completely ignored her. He felt ashamed as they piled into his car. Did she really deserve that? He answered his own question, jumped back out of the car, ran back to the house and took his mother in his arms.
"I'm sorry Mum. This is all so much for me to take in. I'll call as soon as Eddie and I have had a chance to talk."
"He's very welcome here son, I'm sorry for the way I treated you both. I was just so shocked."
"That's ok Mum, we'll work it out."
Back to his car and they drove back to the garage.
Darren was looking smug as they walked in.
"So, when are you leaving us to go live in your mansion?"
Nick shot back at him. "What makes you think we are going to move? Maybe we like it here without any adult interference and only two nosy black boys to worry us."
Everybody creased up at that before Kennie took over and asked seriously.
"No joking, are you moving out?"
"We don't know Kennie, we have to talk about it. Things are moving a little fast for me."
Understanding nods and Eddie headed for the stairs with Nick close behind.
"Well, Lover, before we make a decision you need to know what my dad said."
Nick was mouth agape with shock at the end.
"You mean he deliberately outed me to my family just to make sure you loved me enough to stick with me and I loved you enough to give up college so that I could earn a living and make sure you finished college."
"That about sums it up I guess."
"Devious conniving bastard, but he must love you an awful lot Nick to go to that amount of trouble. He must realise that he could lose you for good even though he will make our lives easier now."
"I hadn't thought of it like that. What are we going to do then Eddie, can you forgive him for causing you to lose your family, and do you want to live in our mansion?"
Eddie grinned, "Oh yeah, but only if you have a great swimming pool."
"Huh, dad was right, you are a gold digger, only interested in me for the material things I can give you."
"Ok, it's true, but also because you have a great ass."
Too much, serious was out the door, silly came in.
"Well, if it's so great why aren't you getting it ready to be used. It is after all nearly two weeks since you've had it."
Less than ten minutes later Eddie was easing over a very relaxed sphincter watching a pair of happy eyes.
"Sorry, no foreplay today."
"I should think not, I needed to feel that monster inside me."
It didn't take long for two happy young men to realise that while they had each other life would be good, and could only get better. Settled into their old sofa cuddling, Nick gave his thought to Eddie.
"We ought to stay here for a few days to let the dust settle and think about what we want to do. We can go to dinner with mum and dad a couple of times if you like, see how you like it."
"And if I'm not comfortable?"
"Then we stay here."
"You're serious, you'd give all that up, permanently, just so that you could be with me?"
"What do you think I've been doing for the last six months?"
"Yeah, but permanently."
"Ok, have you heard me complaining about what I'm missing?"
"No, and you have nearly died for me so I guess you do love me a little bit, well maybe a lot if you include my cock."
"Huh, funny man. So are we going to play it my way?"
"Yeah, ok."
The boys went to dinner twice that week and Eddie was made welcome. Both mum and dad gradually relaxed with him.
"Dad, can we come up and swim at the weekend, and would it be alright to bring Darren and Kennie from the garage?"
For Nick, this was the cruncher. Would his parents accept these black friends the same as they had done his white ones.
"I don't see why not Son."
"It will probably be Sunday, Dad, because if they have a lot of work on the boys open the garage on Saturday's as well."
"Still not a problem, I'll be playing golf Sunday morning and your mother will be at church, but if you call to confirm I'm sure lunch could be laid on as well."
Eddie and Nick looked at each other, and smiled.
Sunday morning, Darren and Kennie came to the garage and left with Nick and Eddie in Nick's car. They were delighted when they saw where they were going to spend their day. Nick checked the fridge at the pool bar.
"There's plenty of food and drink in the fridge guys just help yourselves. Let's get changed"
They walked into a small changing and shower room that was neat. Nick gulped as they changed. All three were wearing Speedos that left very little to the imagination. His mother would flip he was sure, but he said nothing.
"We can slip swim shorts on when your old lady gets back from church."
Too much for Nick, he creased up with laughter.
"Don't worry, she'll know I'm a cock hound if she sees what you're all packing."
More laughter and there were four happy young men cavorting round the pool when Mrs. Adams arrived home and watched discretely. Even from the distance she was at, she realised the black boys were almost indecently large in the groin area. `So it is true what they say', was her thought. When she was sure there was nothing wrong with what the boys were doing she made a large jug of lime cordial and suitably cold she took it down to the pool.
"Nickolas you might find this refreshing. Elsa is here so you can have lunch by the pool or come to the house. Just give her a call on the house `phone to let her know when and where you want it. I think your father would like you all to stay for dinner tonight as well and he says not to worry about your clothes, we'll be very informal. He just wants your company and to talk to the two garage boys."
"They are Darren and Kennie, Mum."
Mrs. Adams blushed, "Yes Dear, I'm sorry I didn't know their names."
She went back to the house and Eddie eased the tension.
"She's trying Nick, give her a chance, it's a big change for her."
Nick nodded and looked with love at his soul mate.
"I know, anyone for coolade?"
They played some more games after that and were getting a little raunchy playing grabass and ending up with erect cocks.
Elsa brought lunch down so they behaved themselves for a while.
"I don't suppose you guys want to sunbathe so shall we go in, there is a good games room in the basement."
That was received enthusiastically so they showered. Once they were all naked Darren instigated an attack on Nick, and before he knew it he had Darren reaming him out on the shower floor, and Kennie in his mouth. Eddie was nibbling his ear, kissing him and playing with his cock. Three great orgasms and then Eddie slid in to take Darren's place, not lasting very long.
"I love you so much I can almost cum just watching you enjoy sex with these guys."
Nick grinned as they finished showering.
"I guess that sorts our decision about outside sex Lover. I think perhaps we should plan an orgy once every week in the bedsit, then Darren and Kennie will have an excuse to keep it available if we move back here."
Darren was over the moon, once a week getting at this piece of white tail would be heaven. Plus the fact that he really did like this white boy who had proved his love for Eddie.
Things got better at dinner, Malcolm discussed with Darren and Kennie the idea of taking a lease on the property next door to their garage and installing a state of the art spray shed. He told them how it could be financed and that he would be prepared to put up 50% of the money and with that sort of financing the banks would be more than willing to put up the other 50%.
"Why would you want to do that Mr. Adams?"
"Easy, I'm a business man, I invest my money where I think it will give me a good return. You will almost certainly have to set up a corporation, you will then issue shares and my 50% will buy shares rather than have you pay me back. You have no debt at the moment, you do good work and you have an expanding business. I will happily show you how to operate more efficiently and Nick, I am sure will keep an eye on your books. That will help him get hands on experience of the finance involved running a real business. I would of course keep a watching brief and when you are ready to have meetings of your senior people I would be delighted to be included to make sure we are all on the same page."
All four boys were speechless.
"I realise this is very sudden but believe me I know as much about your business as you do, and I know it is worth the investment."
Darren and Kennie were reeling and all Darren could say was thank you, they would think about it. For all four boys it was a very happy conclusion to a super relaxing day. They drove back to the garage all deep in thought.
"Nick, we have to think about this and then talk to you and Eddie."
"No problem, I'll be in early tomorrow, I only have morning lectures and so does Eddie. Conference in the director's suite at 1400 shall we say."
They all laughed as they went their separate ways.
