From Last Chapter:
Steve and I looked at each other with our mouths hanging wide open. Looking back at Jose and Marie Steve said, "That is awesome! Are you going to retire up here then? Maybe build a new house for the two of you.?
Jose was now smiling from ear to ear. He continued, "Well I would call it more of a semi retirement. What we would like to do is help you and Mike make your dream of a youth ranch come true. I have talked with Mr. Smith and he is willing to help with the start up cost but would like you two to design your youth ranch the way you would like it. He and his partners are prepared to help with the operating cost until the ranch become self supporting. So are you two ready to make your dream come true?"
Steve let go of my hand that he had grabbed as Jose spoke so he could give Jose a hug. I pulled Marie into a hug and glanced over at TJ who was grinning from ear to ear. I guess he and Eric and David were in on Jose's huge secret this whole time.
********** Chapter 40 **********
Once all the hugging was done and over with Jose continued, "So I take that you two like the idea."
Steve looked over at me and said, "Yeah dad, we love the idea. It's our dream to help young men and boys that need a second chance."
Jose said, "Well the general plan is that once you and Mike run your ideas past Mr. Smith and his partners and I have my replacement trained, mother and I would move up here to help you guys make that dream come true. There is a small house on the other side of the property that will make a nice semi retirement home."
While Jose was speaking TJ walked up with a big smile on his face saying, "Jose and Maria asked some of the ranch hands if they would be willing to come up here and help you two make a go at this youth ranch. I for one would really like to be a part of that. After being kicked out on the streets when I came out to my parents and given a second chance by Mr. Smith and everyone at the ranch I knew that I wanted to do something to help other kids that might find themselves in trouble. So if you guys would allow me to help I'm willing to transfer my classes up here when the new semester starts."
I pulled TJ in and gave him a big hug. Steve wrapped his arms around the two of us saying, "We would love to have you and I'm sure that will make Aaron very happy also. But don't say anything to him until we can tell all the boys as soon as they get back."
TJ said, "I won't, I promise." as he started to walk back towards the end of the corral where Aaron was sitting on the top rail of the fence watching the first set of horses that David and Eric brought in earlier.
Steve and I were still trying to digest everything Jose and Maria had dropped on us when we saw the boys come over the top of the hill with ten more horses walking in front of them. Eric and David were on each side to keep the horses headed towards the corral and our three boys were spread out behind the new set of horses driving them towards the corral.
As the horses got close to the corral Aaron and TJ jumped off the fence and opened the gate. Once the ten horses were inside they shut the gates before throwing out some more hay for the newly arrived horses. Our boys along with David and Eric rode over to the horse trailer before dismounting and tying up their horses. After making sure their horse was cared for they all walked over to where the rest of us had gathered. Connor jumped up to sit on the top rail as the rest of us stood there looking at all the horses. Connor asked, "Grandpop how are you going to get all these horses back to your ranch? I don't think they will fit in your horse trailer."
Jose looked over at Steve and I smiling looking for permission to tell the boys the exciting news. Steve and I smiled back giving him the go ahead. Jose started, "Well I was thinking we could leave some of them here for you guys to care for seeing that your dads will need them for this new youth ranch of theirs."
Steve and I both looked at the boys who were all looking at the two of us with a "What the Hell" look on their face. Steve looked back out at the horses for a few seconds before he said, "Yeah Jose, I think we can use a few of these horses on this new ranch of ours."
Sean yelled, "What exactly do you mean by this ranch of ours?"
I chimed in with, "Well I hope that you guys like caring for horses, because with the help of Mr. Smith and your grandparents, it looks like we may have a ranch of our own soon."
Colby said, "I don't understand how is this place ours?"
Steve looked back at the boys saying, "Well your grandparents dropped a huge surprise on us while you guys were out rounding up the horses. It seems that your grandpop talked Mr. Smith into purchasing this property so we can follow our dream of opening a ranch for kids that need a place they can get a second chance. It's something that Mike and I have been talking about doing now that I can retire from the Army in about a year from now."
Connor jumped down off the fence and jumped into his Steve's arms saying, "That is so cool. When can we move out here?"
Steve laughed a little, "Well, It may be a while. We have to get things rolling with Mr. Smith and get some designing done and maybe a house to live in built before we can move out here."
Connor said, "But I want to stay out here now. We have to care for the horses."
Steve looked at all of us saying, "Well maybe you boys can stay out here on the weekends but we can't live out here."
Connor said, "Cool. Since we don't have school tomorrow can we stay out here tonight?"
Steve looked over at me before he answered, "Well I guess you can but we didn't bring camping gear for you to use."
David and Eric both answered at the same time, "We have everything we would need in the horse trailer." The front of the trailer was actually a camper that had a couple of bunk beds inside. "We brought some extra bed rolls with us and the weather is going to be nice so we can just sleep out in the open if that is ok with you and Mike. And we have plenty to eat thanks to Maria."
Steve looked at me before answering, "I don't see why not."
"Hey why don't we get a nice campfire going before we head back into town." Jose suggested. "Mother and I have a room at the Hilton tonight. We didn't want to drive back in the dark so we planned to stay the night in town. I have made arrangements for Eric, David and TJ to spend the week up here to get the barn and corral fixed up for these horses. I also have a vet coming out tomorrow to take a look at them for you."
"Wow it looks like you have had this all planned out for quite some time." I said.
Jose smiled saying, "Well mother and I have been talking about it since your visit in the summer."
The boys all went out and gathered some fire wood and got a nice campfire going as Steve and I helped Jose tend to the horses. Maria went into the camper part of the horse trailer and made up some snacks for us to eat while we all set around the campfire. Steve and I were sitting in some camp chairs they brought with them and I couldn't help myself but to reach over and start rubbing his leg. Everything felt so right as I set there with my lover watching our boys sit around the campfire, each of them leaning against his saddle as they talked back and forth. Mostly about how much fun they were going to have living out here in the country.
Sean was leaning up against his saddle with Colby sitting in front of him leaning against him. David and Eric were sitting next to them each leaning up against their own saddle but every now and then I would see Eric reach over and touch David's leg. TJ and Aaron were sitting next to them with Connor sitting right up next to Aaron. They all looked so happy and content. Jose and Maria were sitting next to me and Steve and they seemed to be enjoying just watching their grandsons chat back and forth with each other and their friends. It seems to me that they had come to terms with not only Steve and my relationship but also the boys' relationships.
About an hour after dark Jose and Maria said their goodbyes and after giving each boy a hug and Jose giving David some additional instructions about tomorrow's happenings, they got into their truck and headed back into town to stay at the hotel for the night.
Steve and I sat with the boys another hour or so before we headed back into town. We both had to work in the morning but the boys still had a week off of school. I'm sure that most of the week will be spent out at ranch, but that was just fine with us. Of course we left Max out with the boys. If we took him home with us he was just going to drive us crazy pacing back and forth trying to figure out where the boys were. That dog loves the boys and follows them everywhere.
Soon after Steve and I headed home, David suggested, "We might as well get our bed rolls out of the trailer and get things set up for the night. It looks like it's going to be cool night so we should all lay out by the fire."
Everyone got their bed rolls out of the trailer and got them laid out around the fire. Once that was done all seven boys walked down to the corral to make one last check on the horses.
When they walked back they laid out on their bed rolls for a bit just chatting back and forth about how cool it's going to be to help build the new ranch. Eric said, "David and I have talked and we want to come back after our spring semester. We can't get out of our classes we already have scheduled but as soon as they are over we plan on moving up here to help out over the summer."
Sean smiled saying, "That's so cool. It will be great having you and David around here the all the time."
Colby chimed in with, "Yeah, I'm sure you guys will be able to teach us a lot about being ranch hands."
TJ who was sitting right up next to Aaron said, "It's going to be a lot of work but it's going to really cool to help with building a ranch for kids from the ground up."
Aaron but his arm around TJ saying, "Yeah it will be so cool to help run a place that helps other kids. I bet Mike and Steve will have this place full of kids that need help in no time at all."
Connor was a little quiet which didn't go unnoticed by Aaron. When Aaron saw Connor look over at him, Aaron motioned for him to come over and sit next to him. Connor got up and walked over to Aaron, sitting down next to him and leaned up against Aaron's other side. Aaron now had Connor on his left and TJ on his right. Sean seamed to be the only one that noticed and when Connor looked over at him he just gave Connor a little smile.
The boys continued to talk about building the ranch for another hour or so before they figured it was time to get some sleep. David and Eric moved their bedrolls together so they could cuddle. Sean and Colby saw what they did so they did the same with their bedrolls. Aaron told Connor to get his bedroll and move it over with his before asking TJ to do the same.
As the boys got their bedrolls arranged they all found a tree to empty their bladders before getting ready for bed. Eric and David were the first to get back from the tree. Eric threw a few more logs onto the fire as David stood next to their bedrolls getting undressed. Once he was down to his boxer briefs he slipped under the covers as he watched Eric get undressed. Once Eric was under the covers the two boys quickly cuddled up to each other to help warm each other up.
Colby and Sean were back next. They followed suit and were soon under the covers cuddling as they each shivered a bit. It wasn't long before they were warmed up as Sean laid his head on Colby's chest.
Aaron, Connor and TJ all did the same. They quickly got undressed and jumped in under the covers. TJ snuggled up against Aarons back as Aaron pulled a shivering Connor up to his front side. In a few minutes all three were warmed and were settling in for a good night's sleep out in the open country.
David rolled over to rest his head on Eric's chest and stopped to give him a quick kiss before they settled in to go to sleep. They had made good time getting to the ranch early this morning and had some extra time so they put it to good use and had a little fun out in the warm sun before everyone else arrived so they were both ready for some sleep.
Colby and Sean on the other had hadn't had enough privacy in the last few days to do much of anything. So as Sean laid there with his head on Colby's chest his hand started to roam around Colby's flat stomach and developing six pack. It wasn't long before his hand found it's way under Cobly's waist band of his boxers to find Colby's rock hard hard-on standing straight up. Sean started to stroke the almost five inches of rock hard dick as his head disappeared under the covers and started to kiss Colby's right nipple before moving across to the left nipple and then down the flat abs to Colby's dick. Since it had been a few days since either boy had gotten off they both knew this wasn't going to take long.
Sean had just gotten started when he felt Colby's dick grow even harder inside his mouth and he knew that in just a few seconds Colby would be exploding. Sean pulled back so just the head of Colby's dick was in his mouth just as Colby started to shoot his load. Sean knew it was going to be a big load so he was prepared when shot after shot of boy juice hit the back of his throat. Sean had to swallow twice as Colby continued to shoot more and more cum in his mouth. Colby hadn't even realized that he was holding Sean by head holding Sean on his dick as he exploded in Sean's mouth.
After a couple of minutes Colby let go and Sean backed off Colby's dick sucking the last drops of cum out as he let the softening dick slide from his mouth. Sean moved back up and started to kiss Colby sharing what cum he had left in his mouth with his boyfriend. After another minute or so Sean whispered, "I need to take my boxers off. I was so horned up that I blew my load in my boxers while you were exploding in my mouth."
"Well you might as well take mine off for me as well. I'm not used to sleeping in my boxers anymore any way." Colby added.
Sean sat up and carefully took his cum soaked boxers off and then used them to finish cleaning the remaining cum off his dick before he tossed them on the other side of his saddle that they were using as a pillow. Then he reached down and finished pulling Colby's boxers off which Colby had kicked down to his ankles.
On the other side of the fire Aaron had settled on his side with Connor cuddled up against his front side and TJ was cuddled up against his back side. Aaron noticed the movement across the fire where Colby and Sean were. He figured they were having a little fun under the covers which made him go stiff in his boxers. With Connor snuggled up against him he was sure that Connor knew his condition. Both seamed to be squirming a little. After awhile Aaron couldn't stand it any longer and told both Connor and TJ that he couldn't sleep in his boxers. Connor and TJ agreed so all three sat up and reached under the covers to pull their boxers off. Once off and tossed on the other side of their saddles they laid back down to settle in for a good night's sleep under the stars.
