Chapter Sixty-Seven

Bren leaned against the desk and smiled at his students. "I am really proud of you guys. Each of you have worked hard during these past two review weeks. I know that every one of you will do awesome on your exams. Because of the huge effort you've made, I've told the Founder that you're ready. We were supposed to use Monday as a review day, but I don't believe we need to. Chad agrees with me. Therefore, your exams will begin first hour Monday morning."

Several hands went up, and Bren looked around the room. "Yes, Denny?"

"Are you certain? I don't know if I'm ready."

Two other students expressed the same concern, and Bren held up his hands. "Guys, listen to me. You've got this. Please don't stress yourselves out. Look, I've been with you the entire year, and I've seen the progress each of you have made. Use this weekend to relax and have fun. Next week is bound to be a little stressful for you. I understand how you might feel, but trust me, I know that each one of you will have a successful week." He paused and then said, "Tell you what." He walked around his desk and wrote something on the white board. "This is my cell number. If any of you want to drop by and talk over the weekend, give me a call. We'll set up a time."

Bren walked over to the door and dismissed his class. One by one, each student gave him a hug and left the classroom. Cole was the last one to leave. When he walked up to his teacher, Bren couldn't help but notice the boy didn't greet him with his usual cocky attitude.

"Enjoy your weekend, Cole."

Cole pulled his teacher close. "Thank you," he whispered.

Bren could hear the emotion in the boy's voice. "Is everything alright, Cole?"

Cole continued hugging his teacher and remained silent. "Thank you," he repeated.

Bren saw his four younger students walking in the direction of the classroom. He pulled away and said, "Cole, why don't you drop by the apartment this evening after dinner? We'll have plenty of time to talk. You seemed to be troubled by something. I'm sorry we can't talk now, but my last class is arriving." He gave the boy another hug. "I'll be looking forward to your visit."

Cole disappeared down the hallway, and Bren greeted his last class of the day. Once they were in their seats, he gave them the same information he had his senior class. Some of the same concerns were expressed, and he assured them they were ready for the following week of testing. They spent the first hour doing one last review, and then he dismissed them. "You guys have it. You're going to do great. Because I am so confident, I have a surprise for you. I'm going to dismiss you early. Go. Enjoy the rest of the day and your weekend."

Left alone in the classroom, Bren sent a text to the Founder, telling him that he had talked with all of his students, and they would indeed begin finals on Monday morning. His phone rang a moment later. It was Chad.

"Hey, Bren. If you believe your students are ready, then go for it. I just talked with Tom. He feels his class needs the extra day to review. On another topic," Chad continued, we'll be moving the students to the campground week after next. In fact, we'll begin shortly after graduation exercises Sunday afternoon. Brad and I are going to the campgrounds in the morning. I'd like for you and Tom to come with us. Rob and Parker are coming as well. Oh, and Evan Randall is going to meet us there, too. I'll drive us in the van."

Chad said that everyone was to meet in the parking lot, and they would leave at nine o'clock. Bren assured him he and Tom would be there and ended the phone conversation.

When Bren walked entered their apartment, Tom was sitting on the sofa. He smiled and sat down beside him. "I let my students leave early."

"Wow," Tom said. He gave Bren a kiss. "This will give us a nice long evening to enjoy each other's company."

"Well, it might not be just the two of us." He explained to Tom about Cole's emotional outbreak at the end of class and ended with, "I've asked him to drop by after dinner. Do you mind?"

Tom grinned. "Actually, I don't. Cole is hot and very sexy. I always enjoy looking at his hairy body. Is he going to try and jump your bones again?"

"I think this visit will be different. I've never seen him as serious as he was this afternoon." Bren stood to his feet. "Let's go to dinner early. That will give us plenty of time to eat and be back in time for his visit."

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

"Come in, Cole," Bren greeted.

"Welcome," Tom said to the student. He gave the boy a hug.

Bren closed the door and pulled the boy to him. "We're awfully glad that you dropped by." The hug he shared with Cole was a little longer than Tom's had been.

Bren and Tom sat on the sofa, and Cole sat in the chair across from them. "What's going on, Cole?" Bren asked.

Cole looked down at the floor and didn't answer right away. When he looked at the teachers, Bren noticed a change right away. Instead of the usual cockiness showing on Cole's face, there was something much different.

"What is it, Cole? What's wrong?" Bren was suddenly filled with concern.

"We're here for you, Cole," Tom assured the student.

Bren looked at Tom, and they both shook their head. They could tell that something was really bothering the boy. Bren moved over as far as he could and placed a hand on the sofa. Tom gave a nod that he understood and moved closer to his side of the sofa.

Bren smiled and said, "Cole, come over and sit with us on the sofa."

Cole didn't move from his chair. Another sign that convinced Bren and Tom that something was going on. An invitation like this normally and Cole would have moved so fast that dust would have flown.

"It's alright, Cole," Tom said. "Come sit with us."

Bren watched as the boy walked slowly to the sofa. He smiled as Cole squeezed in between him and Tom. "What's bothering you, Cole?"

"I've been thinking about a lot of things this week," Cole replied.

"Like what?" Bren moved so that his shoulder touched the side of Cole's body.

"School for one thing. It's nearly over, and I'm afraid everything's going to change."

Tom placed a hand on Cole's arm. "Yeah, school is almost over, and you'll be graduating. Is that what you're concerned about?"

"Just a whole lot of shit," Cole answered.

"Look at me, Cole," Bren told the boy. When he had the student's attention, he said, "You're not thinking about leaving the Community, are you?"

"God, no."

"Are you still planning on college this fall?"

Cole assured his teacher that he was.

Bren shrugged and said, "The only change I see is that you will be swapping high school courses for college ones. You'll still be living here and going to class as usual. The only change that I see is that your classes will be at a higher level and taught by a new teacher."

"Actually a professor," Tom corrected. "Cole, I met the man. He's very nice, and I know that you will like him."

"Evan Randall will be here July 1st," Bren said. "You will have plenty of time to get to know him before starting class this fall."

"Been thinking about my father," Cole said changing the subject. "Do you know how much I hate the bastard? I fucking despise him."

"I'm sorry, Cole." Bren placed an arm over the boy's shoulders.

Tom placed his arm on top of Bren's, and they both gave Cole a hug. "Cole, Bren and I hate the way your father has treated you. If we could, we'd make him see the awesome young man you're growing into. But, unfortunately we can't."

"What we can do," Bren declared, "is be the family you need. I know that's not the same, but regardless, we are here for you. And we always will be."

Tears began flowing down the boy's cheeks. "I know that you think I'm cocky, and sometimes an asshole, but I really do appreciate you, Bren. You, too, Tom."

Tom smiled and said, "I actually like the cocky you."

Bren laughed. "I have to agree with Tom. When I see you being cocky, I know that things are going well for you, and that you are happy."

Bren pulled his arm away and stood up. He walked into the kitchen and returned carrying three drinks. He gave Tom and Cole one each and returned to his seat next to Cole.

"A beer? Really?" Cole was surprised.

"You're going to graduate a week from Sunday. I think you're ready for one. Just one, however," Bren reminded.

Cole had finished half of his beer when he said, "I told you how much I appreciate you both, and I do. Bren, you said that you guys could be my family, and you're right. For some time now I've felt like we were family. I love you guys."

Bren was relieved to see the Cole he knew returning. "Tom and I will be here as long as you need us."

"Then you're never leaving." Cole finished. "God, I love you both so much."

Bren finished his drink and sat the empty bottle on the table beside him. "Are you feeling better?"

A grin actually appeared on the boy's face. "Much. Don't suppose I could have another beer?"

Tom rammed his knee against Cole's leg. "Definitely – NOT!"

"You can have a Coke," Bren offered.

Cole shrugged and said, "I'm good."

Bren leaned his head to one side and gave Cole a stern "teacher" look. "Did you do this intentionally?"

"Do what?"

"I think you know what I'm asking."

The grin disappeared from the boy's face. "I have had a lot of things on my mind. It's the truth. If you're asking if I'm happy sitting between the two of you, then hell yes I am. I keep telling you guys how hot I think you both are." He placed his hands, one on Bren's chest and the other on Tom's.

"Now, Cole," Bren said. He removed the boy's hand from his chest.

Tom grinned. "Yeah, Bud, don't start something you can't finish."

"Oh, I'd have no problem finishing anything I started with the two of you. See for yourself." He looked down at his growing cock.

Bren got to his feet and moved across the room. He sat down in the chair and shook his head at the boy.

Cole turned to Tom and grinned. "It's just the two of us now."

"Move over," Tom said.

Cole sighed and moved to the end of the sofa. Then he smiled. "This is one of the reasons I love you guys. I can tease and play with you two. You do know that I'm messing with you, right?"

"Of course we know," Tom assured him.

Bren wasn't so sure, but he echoed what Tom had said. Part of him would like to see just how far Cole would go, but a bigger part cried out, No, don't do it! While Cole was telling Tom something, Bren looked hard at the student, and everything about Cole screamed "hot". His body was covered in thick brown fur, from chest down to his ankles. Then there was Cole's cock. It was thick and well developed for boy his age. And his furry brown pubes were mouthwatering to look at. Cole's balls were coated in the same dark brown hair. Hairy nuts, bush and chest made for the perfect picture to look at.

"Hey, you must be having good thoughts."

Bren suddenly became aware of Tom's voice. "I'm sorry. Were you talking to me?"

Tom and Cole grinned, and Tom said, "Cole and I wondered if you were having good thoughts."

Bren looked down at his cock. It was beginning to chub up. "Just a guy thing," he defended.

"Yeah, we know," Cole retorted. His cock was hard, and he wrapped his fingers around the shaft. He placed his other hand in the middle of Tom's thick bush. It rested at the base of the teacher's cock.

Tom's dick jerked, and he quickly moved off the sofa. "As good as that feels, no you don't, Cole. You know the rule."

"Never hurts to keep trying." Cole also stood up and stroked his dick. "Since you guys won't help me out, I'll see if my roommate can."

Bren followed the boy to the door and pulled him into a hug. He rubbed his crotch against Cole and felt the boy's dick leak pre cum. "You know that you're always welcomed here, Cole."

Cole pushed back. "I know. All kidding aside, you do know how much I care for you and Tom?"

Bren kissed the boy lightly on the mouth. "We know you do. The feeling's mutual."

Tom came up and joined them. He stood behind Cole and hugged the student to him, making sure that his cock slid inside the boy's crack.

"Damn, my favorite kind of hug." Cole leaned into one teacher and pulled the other one close. "Group rub," he said. "I mean group hug."

All three of them were hard when the hug was broken. Bren smiled. "As you can see, Cole, Tom and I always enjoy your visits."

"That we do." Tom kissed Cole and added, "We're always here for you."

Cole laughed and opened the door. "Thanks, guys. I really appreciate everything you do to me. Wait, that didn't come out right."

Bren laughed. "I'm pretty sure it came out the way you meant for it to."

Once the door was closed and Bren and Tom were alone, Tom grinned. "That was different. You have to love the guy."

"This was a side of Cole I've never seen before. I learned something about him this evening. He isn't always as self-confident as he appears to be."

"I was surprised that you offered him a beer," Tom admitted.

"How old were you when you drank your first beer?"

"Younger than Cole, I think."

"Exactly. I will let Chad know about the beer. Hopefully when I explain the reason for Cole's visit he will understand. I'll also assure him that it won't happen again. I just felt that Cole needed a little something extra tonight." He smiled. "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission sometimes."

Tom turned on the TV. "How about a movie?"

"Fine, but don't think you're going to get out of fucking me tonight."

"Oh, we're going to fuck alright," Tom assured him. "It was hot watching you and Cole grind against each other."

"You're getting hard again," Bren said looking at his partner's cock.

Tom turned the TV off. "Forget the movie. Let's fuck!"

Bren turned the lights off in the living room, and when he stepped into the bedroom, he found Tom already on the bed.

"I want you to fuck me," Tom said spreading his legs."

Bren fell on the bed. "I can do that."

Bren began kissing his lover, working his tongue inside the man's mouth. He felt Tom's dick twitch. "Your dick likes kissing."

"Not just kissing. He likes everything you do to me."

Bren moved down and sucked one of Tom's furry nipples between his lips. He felt it harden against his tongue as he nibbled it playfully. Tom moaned, and Bren moved across to the other nip and began giving it the same treatment. It didn't take long for the tit to become hard as well, and Bren loved the feeling it gave his tongue. He worked it with his mouth until the tip peaked through the brown nipple hair. Then he tongued his way through Tom's chest hair down to the man's belly button, where he made several wet circles around it. Then kissing the indention lightly, he made a wet trail down to Tom's hairy bush. His saliva made the wiry curls darker.

Bren traced his partner's furry nut sac with a finger before gently sucking one of his balls into his mouth.

Tom sighed. "Fuck."

Bren press a hand in Tom's brown pubes and placed his mouth on the man's other ball. He loved feeling the hairy sex nut rubbing against his tongue. He could feel the excitement building up in Tom's body. He let the ball escape from his mouth and began licking underneath the ball sac. He knew that was a really sensitive spot for Tom.

Tom raised his head. "My God, you are making me crazy!"

Bren stopped licking long enough to say, "That's my intention."

Bren put his tongue back to work as he slowly traveled down to Tom's furry asshole. He circled through the thick hair around the entrance and left it clinging to Tom's skin.

"Okay, turn over," Bren said.

"What the fuck?"

Bren thought the look on his partner's face was priceless. "I said turn over."

Once Tom was on his stomach, Bren eyed the man's furry cheeks. Each hip was covered in brown fur and caused Bren to pre cum. He pulled them apart and saw a long valley of brown hair growing from the top down to Tom's balls. Bren felt more pre cum pushing out of his dickhead.

He leaned over and placed his nose in the hairy trail. He pushed it up until his mouth was at the top of Tom's furry crack. He buried his tongue and began slowly sliding it through the line of hair.

Tom cried out, "Jesus!"

Bren made several trips back and forth and enjoyed playing in the hair with his tongue. He decided it was time to get Tom's ass ready for his cock. He pressed the tip of his tongue against his lover's hairy entrance and pushed through the opening.

"Yes!" Tom's body jerked against Bren's face.

Bren pushed his tongue deeper inside and felt the walls of Tom's ass clamp down on it. The longer he fucked with his tongue, the louder Tom moaned. Bren replaced his tongue with a finger. He worked the single digit back and forth and felt Tom's ass opening up. He worked a second finger in, and together they pushed through the man's slippery ass walls. Tom opened up even more, and Bren added a third finger.

Tom forced his ass muscles to clamp down on Bren's fingers and moaned. "I'm so ready for you to fuck me, Babe."

Bren left his fingers buried inside and began kissing Tom's ass cheeks. He kissed and finger fucked until Tom's body shook with desire.

"Please. I need your dick inside me."

Bren reached for the lube and told Tom to get on his hands and knees. He filled the palm of his hand with gel and slowly worked the slippery substance through Tom's hairy opening. The gel made the brown hair cling to his lover's skin. Bren pushed more lube into Tom's ass and then coated his dick heavily. He tossed the bottle on the bed and moved closer to the man. He touched the center of Tom's hairy entrance and pushed the head inside.

Tom cried out, "Fuck!"

Bren pushed all the way in and felt his pubes scratching his lover's ass. He placed his hands on Tom's ass cheeks and pulled the man hard against his body.

Tom yelled, "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!"

"God! I love being inside your wet ass, Babe."

Bren kept his hands on Tom's ass as he drilled his lover's slippery hole. His cockhead slammed against Tom's prostate each time he bottomed out. His cum-filled balls slammed into Tom with each fuck thrust he made. When he felt his orgasm approaching, he stopped moving. Keeping his cock buried in Tom's ass, Bren told him to roll over on his back.

Tom flipped over with Bren's cock inside his ass and suddenly his balls were resting in Bren's black pubes.

Bren leaned down and kissed him. "I want to look into your eyes when I cum."

He began thrusting his cock back and forth though the walls of Tom's slippery wet ass. It felt so good, and he realized that he wasn't going to last much longer. He began driving harder. Deeper.

Tom's dick was covered with his pre cum. He wrapped his fingers around the slippery shaft and began stroking. He moaned. "I'm almost there, Bren."

"Me. Too." Bren pushed harder. In. Out. In. Back. Out. Hard. In. Out. In – "Shooting!"

Bren's toes curled when he felt his cock firing the first rope of cum inside Tom's ass. He continued erupting and enjoyed each intense wave of pleasure that coursed through his body. He cried out, "Holy Fuck!"

Tom's fist made a slapping sound as he jacked his pre cum-covered dick. He stroked faster and suddenly cried, "Cumming! I'm fucking cumming!"

Bren's dick stopped moving. It remained buried in Tom's cum-filled hole. Watching Tom cover his chest with his creamy load made Bren's cock jerk. He could feel the cum he planted in Tom's ass suck him deeper inside. His dick was still hard.

Tom raised his arm and ran fingers through Bren's hair. "Are you ready for round two?"

Bren kissed him. "Don't think so, Love, but it was hot watching you cover your chest and belly with your hot load."

Tom forced his ass muscles to clamp around Bren's dick. "I'll hold onto your cock until you're ready to go again."

Bren laughed. "You're so fucking adorable." Pushing his cock through his cum, he leaned over and gave Tom another kiss. "Love me?"

Tom smiled. "Ditto."

"Jerk wad!" Bren gave one of Tom's nipples a gentle twist.

Tom smacked Bren's ass. "Fucker!"

"That's me. I'm the fucker that fucked your fuck hole."

Tom pulled his lover to him. The action forced Bren's softening cock to slide out of the man's ass, bringing some of the cum with it. "I do love you."

Bren laid with his chest against Tom and said, "I'll be damned. I guess you can say those words."

"I can when I need to." Tom grinned.

A few minutes later Bren rolled over and fell to the bed on his back. "Don't forget we need some sleep. We have an early morning."

"Yeah, going to check out the campground," Tom remembered.

"Evan Randall is going to meet us there."

Tom smiled. "Yeah, the fucking hot college professor."

"He is hot. I remember that he had a really sexy body. His personality isn't bad either."

"Was it his personality or his cock that caught your attention?"

Bren smiled. "Can I like both?"

"You'll get no argument from me." Tom kissed him and rolled over on his side. "Good night, Babe."

Bren turned over and moved next to Tom. He pushed his crotch against his partner's ass and threw his arm around the man's furry stomach. "Night, Tom."

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

When Chad pulled the van up to the campground gate, Bren saw that Evan Randall had already arrived. He watched the man leave his car and walk over to the van. Bren and Tom were sitting on the center bench. Bren slid the van door back and greeted the professor. "Hey, Evan. It's great to see you." He and Tom moved over to give the Community's newest staff member a seat.

Chad punched some buttons on the key pad, and the newly installed gate slowly opened. Once they were inside the grounds, Bren turned around and watched the gate close behind them. Chad pulled up in front of the Mess hall and stopped. "Here we are. Shall we see how things look?"

Bren stepped down from the van and looked around. There was no sign of workers anywhere. "No one's working today, Chad?"

"No need." Chad smiled. "Michael Grimes assures me that all jobs will be completed on time. Everything should be finished sometime next week. We'll begin moving students and staff in here next Sunday after the graduation ceremony." He grinned. "If the seniors want to throw a party, they can do it that evening out here. Renovation on the dormitory will begin next day."

When they stepped inside the Mess hall, Bren noticed several big cartons stacked at one end of the large dining room. Chad explained that they contained new tables and benches for the dining room. "I hope that after the tour we'll have time to assemble a few of them together."

Bren walked across the room and stopped in front of the new fireplace. "I love the way this turned out. It gives the room a homey feeling."

Chad walked up and said, "I agree. I think it's just the finishing touch that the room needed."

They walked into the kitchen, and Chad pointed out the new appliances. A commercial sized cooking range with nine burners and two large ovens had replaced the old range. On the opposite wall from the range stood a shiny new refrigerator. Two wide doors running from top to bottom of the appliance shone proudly into the room. The old sink had been ripped out and replaced by three shiny stainless steel ones.

"This is really nice," Parker commented.

"It is," Rob added.

Chad smiled. "I'm very pleased with how the kitchen has turned out." He looked around the room and said, "I'm actually considering hiring a full time kitchen manager for the campground. If I do, that person would move to the Community in the fall and manage the cafeteria." The Founder paused and then said, "I'm sorry, but that's all that I can share with you now. Once something has been decided for certain, I will share the rest of the details with you."

New cabinets had been installed on the fourth wall just below three windows. A long countertop ran the full length of the cabinets. "These are nice," Tom remarked.

Beside the new cabinets was a closed door. Chad opened it and stepped back. "You may remember that this room is known at the `Cooks room'. The old furniture has been replaced."

Bren looked inside and saw a double bed, dresser and in one corner, a recliner chair. The walls had been refinished, and a heating and air vent installed in the ceiling.

Chad took them next to the store room in back of the building where he showed the group a new closet. A wide sliding door made up most of the front, and when Chad slid it back, they saw a hot water heater in one corner and a furnace in the other corner. Chad slid the door shut and walked over to large chest freezer. "I think this is going to come in really handy. We're so far away from any stores. This chest will allow us to keep plenty of food on site."

The two sleeping cabins were next on Chad's tour. Everything was new in each of them. Old beds had been replaced with new ones, and the rest rooms had new commodes, sinks and one large shower stall with three shower heads. There was a wide window on one wall, and Chad pointed out the new outbuilding that stood a few feet to one side of the window. "The furnace and hot water heater for this building is out there."

"I hope the students know how lucky they are to have a cabin like this," Evan remarked. "It's way better than the camp I attended as a kid."

"This is air conditioned," Brad said. "The cabin at my camp had opened windows and a few electric fans. That was the only cooling we had."

They toured the second cabin and saw that it was an exact duplicate as the first one. The fact that it was made for a shorter tour, and they returned to the Mess hall.

Chad walked over to the large cartons and said, "While we're here, I thought we could spend a little time uncrating these new tables."

Brad had stopped by the van on his way back from the cabins, and he entered the dining room carrying a large tool box. He grinned and sat it down on the floor. "Here are the tools, Chad."

Bren was standing next to Evan. He gave the professor a hug. "Welcome to the Community. Tom and I are looking forward to working with you."

Tom also gave the man a hug. "We're going to be neighbors in the dorm."

Bren smiled. "You're getting Tom's old apartment."

Tools were brought out, and the next two hours passed quickly as all of the men worked together assembling the tables and benches. Chad studied the cartons that were left to unpack. "Would you guys be willing to keep on working? I know it's getting close to lunch time. I can make a pizza and beer run." He looked around the group. "I would really appreciate it."

When they all agreed to his suggestion, Chad took their pizza requests and left to pick the food up.

Parker was standing between Tom and Evan. "Are you sorry you agreed to move into the Community, Evan?" the social worker asked.

Evan shook his head. "Of course not. The Community is lucky to have Chad looking out for it."

"Chad is a good man," Bren agreed. "He's willing to do whatever it takes to make life better for our students."

"For the staff as well," Rob added.

"Even if he does work our asses off," Tom added and grinned.

By the time Chad returned with food and drink, a few more tables had been pulled from the cartons. He placed the boxes of pizza on one of the tables along with a stack of paper plates and said, "Help yourselves, guys while I bring the beer in."

The group spent the next hour enjoying pizza and cold beer, furnished by the Founder. They had spent the morning working hard, and the food helped to refuel their bodies. When the meal was over, they went back to work, and by four o'clock all the tables, as well as their benches, were assembled.

Before they returned to the Community Chad said, "I can't tell you how much that I appreciate all of your hard work today. This is definitely going to make the move here much easier. I love you guys. Thank you!"

"Did you survive your first day of Community life?" Bren asked Evan.

Evan smiled. "I can take it. I'm pretty tough."

Chad locked the building and drove them to the gate. Hugs were given to the newest staff member. "We're so happy that you've chosen to join us," Chad said to Evan.

When they arrived back at the Community, Bren and Tom walked to their apartment. Once inside, they hurried into the bedroom and began shedding their clothes.

"I hate these fucking things," Tom declared, and in a matter of seconds, he stood naked in the room.

"I know the feeling." Bren was soon naked as well. "Damn, I'm ready for a hot shower."

Tom grinned. "I thought I smelled something."

Bren's cell phone chose that particular moment to ring. It was his brother.

"Hey, Chance."

"Just wanted to touch base with you and Tom. Have you had a good week?"

"It's been a busy one," Bren told his brother. "Final exams are next week. We've spent the last two weeks preparing the students."

"I just wanted to say hi," Chance said. "I'm looking forward to another visit with you and Tom. Hopefully very soon," he added.

"I would like that very much, Chance. Tom would, too."

"Maybe something can be worked out. I'll talk with you soon. Love you, Buddy."

"Love you, too, Chance. Bye."

Bren ended the call and gave Tom a puzzled look. "I get more confused every time I speak with my brother."

Tom smiled and said, "Let's hit the shower."

Bren shook his head and said, "Tell me what you think you know or there will be no more fucking."

"Let's go." Tom walked into the bathroom. "You'll change your mind when you see my sexy body in bed next to you."

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Bren and Tom woke up Sunday morning with groans. Assembling tables and benches had been much harder on them than they had realized. They got out of bed, brushed their teeth and headed for the cafeteria.

"I wonder how much trouble we'd been in if we skipped out this morning," Tom said as they entered the building.

"We might have gotten away with it," Bren answered. "After all, we worked hard yesterday. Oh, well, we're here now."

They walked inside the large dining room and headed for the food line. Making their selections, they found seats just as Rob began his usual Sunday morning "inspirational" talk. When the counselor finished, Chad spoke and gave everyone an update on the campground renovation. "Everything is coming together," the Founder told them. "I appreciate everyone's help. The construction company has but a few finishing jobs to do, and the grounds will be ready us to move in. Which, by the way, will take place right after the graduation ceremony next Sunday afternoon."

The meeting lasted longer than most of the Sunday meetings did. Bren looked at the clock on the wall. "Dinner will be in an hour. We could stay here until time to eat."

The hour passed, and when the meal was ready, they selected their food and reclaimed their seats.

"I'm starving," Tom said sitting down at one of the tables.

"You're not used to working as hard as you did yesterday," Bren teased.

"Guilty." Tom admitted and attacked the food on his tray.

When they returned to their apartment after their meal, Bren said, "I'm ready to relax and see if there's a good movie on TV." He fell down on the sofa.

Tom joined him. "Me, too. Yesterday just about killed me."

They found something that interested them both, and had been watching for nearly an hour when Bren's cell phone rang. When he picked it up, he read Chad's name on the screen.

"Hey, Chad. What's up?"

"Sorry to bother you, Bren, but I need to see you in my office."

Surprised, Bren said, "Okay."

He was even more surprised when Chad said, "I realize how warm the weather is, but I need you to wear your robe."

"I don't understand, Chad."

"Just do it. Please. I'll explain when you come to my office."
