Jonathan 18 February 17- 25.
On the Tuesday morning Jonathan made his now customary late appearance for some breakfast. "I've been thinking, Gramps"
Malcolm handed Jonathan a cup of coffee. "Good! A penny for them, then!"
"Dad wants me to take legal action against Bill. I'm not so sure."
"What are the pros and cons? Bill was certainly greatly in the wrong keeping you in that bloody cell, and in making you work for him in that way. You weren't a free agent."
"I am thinking that the arguments for taking legal action are something like this. What happened was, as you say, very wrong. Unlawful imprisonment, something like that. I think I'd get a fair amount of compensation, damages for what happened, if I won."
"If you won, any chance of you not winning?"
"I think there is. I think Bill is sweating at the moment. He knows something of my background. I was not like many of the Boys, a back street kid who's run away from home. He knows I'm educated, he said that made me good on the job. That means I come from a well- heeled background. If I'm back in touch with my folks they'll be pressing for legal action against him. I reckon he dreads the post each morning, and even more a police raid on his club.
"But I think he has got some of his patrons lined up. If he's exposed, then they are all in danger of being exposed. The tabloids would love some of the names that would come out. I think Bill has told those top police officer punters what has happened. They will be keeping their ears open for any news of a police raid. He has legal punters. I would be up against a powerful section of the establishment. There are even one or two top journalists.
"You may not like what I'm going to say now, Gramps. But the punters, on the whole, were not a bad lot of men. Many were generous, many were really just wanting some sexual affection. Some of them I really quite liked. Old Roger, who came about once a week. In his eighties, unable to get it up, so just came to give a superb blow job." Jonathan realised that perhaps he should not be speaking in that way to his grandfather. "Sorry, Gramps, that slipped out."
Malcolm smiled. "Don't worry. Speak freely. I'll ask you to explain if you use technical jargon I don't understand."
Jonathan laughed. "Old Roger, as we all called him, was a lovely old man. A real old English gentleman. But there's something else. There are the Boys. What would happen if Bill's Place was forced to close down? Many of them would just be out on the street. Rent boys around Piccadilly? Chink was a good friend, a real help to me. I don't know that I'd have got through without him. Then there's Andy. They' re my friends. Where they are they're well looked after, well fed, medically examined every week. Can I pull the rug from under their feet?"
"I see your point. But Bill owes you quite a lot of money, to say the least."
"I know. I'm thinking about that. But I am not going to do anything for at least another week. I'm going to let Bill sweat. Also if I take legal action it may well be several years going through all the legal processes. I don't know that I want that. I want to get on with my life."
"Good. Keeping on thinking."
They talked on, going over things several times. Then Simon came round and the three of them went off for a round of golf, and lunch at the clubhouse.
Jonathan found the two older men interesting. When they were together, and especially when playing golf, there was a lot of friendly badinage. They were both full of friendly, and often contradictory, advice for Simon who was still very much a novice at the game.
They both went up to bed the same time that Tuesday evening. Jonathan got into bed, and, turning out his light, was soon asleep.
It was different for Malcolm. The bed-going ritual took longer, from seeing all the doors were locked, the alarm set for downstairs, and the bathroom events. When he got into bed, Jonathan in the next room was already fast asleep. Malcolm always read for at least half an hour, before his eyes grew heavy and he put the book down and he turned off the light. He was just beginning to drop off to sleep when there was a knock on his door.
"Come in."
A wild eyed Jonathan appeared at the door dressed in his dressing gown. "Can I sleep with you, Gramps. I've had one of those nightmares. It must have been talking about my time in Bill's cell earlier in the day."
Malcolm sat up in bed.
"As you know Chink always slept with me. He calmed me down when I had a nightmare. May I, Gramps?"
"I'm not wearing any pyjamas!"
"So what? I don't now. I have seen quite a number of men of your age with nothing on."
"But what if I get a hard on."
"I'll say, `Well done' and leave you to deal with it as you wish, bash the bishop in the bathroom; or if you must, wank your willie alongside me."
"Jonathan, what would your mother and father say at that language?"
"Mum wouldn't understand it, and Dad'd explode."
Malcolm laughed.
"Chink and I only rarely did anything sexual together, and that was usually at the farm. I don't want sex, Gramps."
"I'm glad to hear it," said Malcolm quickly.
"I just want someone alongside me in bed."
"Alright then. But not a word to anyone about this."
"Of course, not."
Jonathan slipped off his dressing gown, and got into bed alongside his grandfather. Malcolm had a glimpse of a body that was just like his own fifty years before.
Jonathan turned on his side, with his back to Malcolm, and was very soon fast asleep. Malcolm lay on his back for a long while pondering this turn of events. He was fearful that either of them might wake up with a hard on pressing into the other. The last thing he wanted was for something sexual to happen between him and his grandson. If something did, the whole nature of the relationship would change, and not for the better. Eventually he turned his back to his grandson and went off to sleep.
Malcolm, ever the early riser, awoke at 5.30. The house was cold and silent, but pressed against his back was the warm body of Jonathan whose arm lay across him. Malcolm enjoyed the feeling, but was fearful of possible outcomes of the situation. Very carefully he moved Jonathan's arm and slipped out of bed. He felt his way to where his dressing gown lay, and made his way silently from the room. He went to the bathroom, and then downstairs for his early morning cup of tea. The central heating had come on half an hour before so there was some warmth in the kitchen.
He thought over what had happened during the night. When he had drunk his cup of tea, he continued with his early morning ritual, and risked turning on the light in his bedroom so he could get to his clothes. Jonathan stirred and then snuggled down into the bed to continue with his sleep.
It was nearly 9.30 when Jonathan put in a bleary eyed appearance. "Morning Gramps. Thanks for last night. I had my best night's sleep. I hope you did too."
"Once I got off to sleep I was fine. Get your own breakfast there are some jobs I need to do."
"Gramps, I've been thinking.
"No wonder you need so much sleep - all the brain power you use!"
Jonathan replied by sticking out his tongue. "At school someone said something to us about setting attainable targets. It is very easy to set unattainable ones, and we get depressed, or guilty if we don't reach them. We should set ourselves targets that involve effort and resolution, but are not doomed to failure."
"I'm with you. Glad that they taught you something worth while at that school of yours."
"It was yours as well, Gramps."
"But its gone to the dogs since, what with having girls around! But what are your pearls of wisdom this morning?"
"It's about sex. It goes without saying I've had more than enough sex over the last few months. I would like the next person I have sex with to be someone I want to share my life with. But when I start thinking about that I need to be realistic. Knowing me, I think that would be an unattainable target."
"You're a healthy young male, Jon, with a powerful sex drive."
"Can I use blunt language?"
Malcolm nodded.
"I want the next person I fuck or who fucks me to be that person."
"A real giving of yourself?"
"Yes. But there are other enjoyable things. I think it might be impossible to stop from kissing and cuddling with a sexy guy if one came along, and tossing him off."
Malcolm nodded again, rather surprised that he should be holding such a conversation with his own grandson. "What about blowjobs, Jon?"
Jonathan was now surprised at the ease with which his grandfather spoke of such things.
"I am not sure whether that should also be in the "wait until" category or not. What do you think?"
"I'm not an expert in such ethical matters. It is you making the resolutions, knowing yourself, not me."
They continued to discuss this for some time, but in the end Jonathan came to no conclusion over blowjobs.
That evening they went up to bed together. For Malcolm this posed a problem. How should he conduct himself in the presence of Jonathan? When he was alone Malcolm had no inhibitions about wandering around his own bedroom and going to the bathroom in the nude; but under the eyes of his still teenage grandson he felt reticent.
Jonathan detected Malcolm's hesitations. "Don't worry about appearing in the nuddy in front of me. I've seen a number of men of your age and older in the all together." He paused. "Seeing you may give me some idea of how I'll look, if I manage to keep as fit as you."
"I'm no oil painting. Might do for some degenerate Bacchus in some artist's painting."
"Come off it, Gramps. Surely a degenerate Bacchus would have a great pendulous paunch covering his endowments," laughed Jonathan.
"I have a small bay window," said Malcolm patting his stomach, "Though I'm making sure it never becomes a conservatory!"
"I think you're in excellent nick, Gramps."
"Thanks."
Jonathan was now completing the last stages of getting undressed. He had no inhibitions, he was used to being naked in front of men, even if not his grandfather. There was just a slight flaunting of himself as he lowered his pants to reveal all.
"I think you are very much like me, as I was fifty years ago."
They got into bed.
They both lay on their backs, side by side.
"Gramps?"
"Yes, Jon."
"Can I ask you a very personal question?"
Malcolm hesitated, rather dreading what might be coming. "Yes, you may."
"Gramps, have you ever done anything, you know sexual, with another male?"
Malcolm hesitated. This was what he had feared. He, like all the family, believed in being honest; certainly as honest as possible.
Jonathan picked up the hesitation, and turned to look at his grandfather.
"Yes, Jon."
"When you were young, still at school?"
"No, it was after I had left school. I was working in the shop. My Dad was still alive then, we just had the one shop then in Luton. A young man came in, Ben, just two or three years older than me. He was pretty helpless when it came to anything practical. I gave him advice, and helped him put up some shelves for his landlady. He also played cricket. Then one day we were cycling back from Whitgest when we got caught in a heavy shower. We sheltered in a copse under his cycle cape. You've probably passed that copse many times going to and fro between here and Luton. And one thing led to another."
"Did you do things with him again?"
"Yes, quite a lot. Then he moved north and the friendship faded."
"Thanks, for telling me. That explains a lot. Why you were so understanding of uncle Kev, and of me. You've been totally non- judgmental."
Malcolm began to relax, thinking the danger had passed.
"I suppose you gave it all up when you married Gran?"
Again Malcolm was caught on the honesty and openness dilemma. "I did for a while!"
"A while?" Jonathan turned onto his side to face his grandfather.
"We had your father, Stephen and Kevin in fairly quick succession. After Kev's birth Jan decided there should be no more. Kev was a bit of an accident, though don't you ever let that out. Jan became very reluctant about sex. It became increasingly less frequent. I loved Jan, loved her to the end. There was no way I wanted to be unfaithful to her with another woman. But I was a normal young man. I'd enjoyed my times with Ben, so I began to find my sexual outlets with men. I think it helped keep me in my marriage. Does that surprise you?"
"Yes. I suppose I'm like all younger people and find it difficult to imagine your parents having sex, let alone your grandparents. You know it must have happened, but their cocks and balls doing the necessary with great enjoyment, is difficult to picture."
"I know," answered Malcolm with a laugh.
"How long did this go on for?"
Malcolm was even longer before answering. "Jon, you seem to be in danger of forgetting your own recent experiences."
Jonathan took several seconds to work out the implications of that remark. He sat up in bed, and looked down on his grandfather. "You still?"
Malcolm replied with a small nod of his head and slightly sheepish grin.
Jonathan looked his grandfather in the eye. There was a very long pause. "Simon?"
Malcolm nodded. Jonathan roared with laughter and bounced up and down in bed. "Wonderful, wonderful. Gramps, if I loved you before, I love you even more." Suddenly a very serious look came into his face. "I suppose that my being here has created difficulties for the two of you."
"You can say that again. Simon came round here the other morning expecting and hoping to go upstairs for some fun time."
"Gramps, I am so sorry. Why didn't you say?"
"Come off it, lad. What could I have said?"
"Tomorrow morning you're to ring Simon, and if he is free, tell him I'm going into Hitchin for the morning and will not be back until the afternoon."
"Can we go to sleep now that I've made a full confession?"
Jonathan laughed, and got back down into the bed. Malcolm turned over onto his side with his back to his grandson. Jonathan spooned up behind his grandfather and put an arm across him. "Thanks for being open. That will be a hundred percent secret."
"Kev knows about it," murmured Malcolm.
They settled down for sleep, but every so often there was a soft chuckle from Jonathan.
The next evening the same undressing procedure took place, but with much less shyness on both sides.
"Let me have a proper look at you, Gramps. All round."
Malcolm turned round slowly.
"You are in good trim."
"Few unwanted creases around, especially down here." Malcolm patted his slightly sagging bum.
"I've seen far worse in guys twenty years younger than you."
"Now let me see you properly while we are having everything on display."
Jonathan slowly turned round.
"You are a very sexy looking young man. Very, very nice. To think that I once looked as good as that."
"You're not the first to say that I'm sexy," said Jonathan with a note of pride in his voice.
"I meant to ask you; did you have a good time with Simon earlier today?"
"Yes, very good. I told him that you now knew."
"What did he say? Can he be trusted?"
"He thinks you're sexy too, and would like to go to bed with you."
Jonathan's eyes lit up. "What did you say?"
"No!"
"Spoil sport!"
They stood for a moment side by side in from of a full length mirror. Jonathan put an arm round Malcolm. "I bet Bill'd like a pic of us like this for his club."
"No way."
They got into bed, and soon both of them were asleep. ***
In the early hours of the morning Jonathan suddenly sat up in bed, and called out, "No! No! I'm not going back in there."
Malcolm was immediately awake and quickly realised Jonathan was having one of his nightmares. The room was almost in complete darkness but there was sufficient light for him to see that Jonathan was sitting up. He reached up and stroked his grandson's back. "That's all right, Jon. No one is going to put you back in that cell."
Jonathan started trembling all over, and Malcolm sat up and put his arm round him. Slowly the trembling lessened.
"Thanks, Gramps. That was a bad one."
They continued sitting up in the bed, getting steadily colder.
Eventually Jonathan snuggled back down into the bed. "Let's get back to sleep." He turned onto his side with his back to Malcolm.
Malcolm turned towards Jonathan and snuggled up close to him, but carefully kept his crotch away.
The almost-sleeping Jonathan was having none of that. He wriggled his bottom until it was spooning his grandfather's crotch, and almost immediately he was asleep. Malcolm enjoyed what was happening but it did not help him go back to sleep.
