Chapter 7: Welcome Home Party
As the three men drove towards the welcome home party thrown for Boomer a somewhat anxious Mark feared what lay ahead that Saturday afternoon. His biggest fear, Boomer's short two weeks leave would end before they got to do everything they'd planned in such a short time span. Mark wanted quality alone time with Boomer and thus far that hadn't happened.
Mark and Boomer remained quiet driving to Mark's parents. Mark wondered what his friend could be thinking; furthermore, he considered Cousin Billy's foolish prattle from the backseat annoying, so he turned up the volume on the tape deck to drowned out his nonsensical jabber. Mark had no idea what to expect when they arrived at the party filled with family, friends and even strangers; however, he anticipated good food, drink and companionship.
Once the three men arrived at the party Mrs. Hunter and Mrs. Black latched onto each of Boomer's arms, guiding him around the backyard introducing the guest of honor to party goers who didn't know him and reintroducing him to those that did.
Meanwhile, Billy and Mark went separate ways. Immediately some hot young chickee began flirting with Billy while Mr. Black began shadowing Mark. The two overheard Boomer correct his mom and Mark's mom after the first introduction regarding his name. He'd informed them that he should be addressed as Benjamin in civilian life or Staff Sergeant Black.
Boomer's dad asked, "So, what do you make out of the importance of the name thing Mark? He's always been Boomer to us."
"And he always will be sir, but to new people in his life, until such time as he can gain their trust, he's chosen Benjamin or Sergeant Black...It's an Army thing...Kind of a maturity thing...Maybe he's looking for his niche in life."
"His mother and I sure want him to stay with us and visit while he's home. Do you have any idea why he doesn't want to stay with us?"
"Mr. Black understand that Boomer is no longer the teenager you all remember...He's not the innocent young person who left home, joined the Army and spent almost two years in that hellhole called the Nam. He's just not the same person."
"I guess...But he's not the same gregarious smiling boy we knew before he went to Vietnam."
"No sir he's not. He's different now, not a boy. A man who has because of hellish circumstances aged twenty years beyond his chronological age. He's a stranger that we need to get to know again, understand and love...He'll come around."
"I didn't act the way he's behaving, and neither did you when we came home?"
"If I remember you were a pilot in the Marine Corps during the Korean War. A lot different than combat infantryman in the jungles of Vietnam."
"You're right."
"Also, maybe I just show better on the outside than Boomer, but inside, a different story sir. Besides, Boomer and I led two distinctly different lives in the Army in Vietnam. My job, for the most part, relatively safe, a nine to five type job. Boomer completely different."
"Okay, I think I see what you're getting at Mark. I'll try to be more understanding."
"We all have our inner demons to deal with. Give him some space Mr. Black. He'll be okay. He's been through a lot."
A call rang out to come and get it, but before anyone could proceed through the catered buffet chow line Pastor Roberts stepped forward to lead the group in brief prayer. The pastor blessed the food and those who made it all possible as well as those that made it back and those who didn't. An Amen chorus came from all those in attendance.
Then a lull fell over the group while everyone enjoyed the food. After eating younger people began changing into swimming attire and engaging in usual pool horseplay and banter. Shouts of "Marco" with replies of "Polo" could be heard coming from the pool.
Two young ladies about 17 years old dominated Cousin Billy flirting with him. He enjoyed the attention flirting back. "You think he's bisexual?" Boomer asked standing behind his best bud with his hands resting on Mark's shoulders.
"Maybe? Don't know either one of the chicks, but I'd dip my wick, especially the blonde," Mark said.
The pastor approached the two with a young man in tow. Introductions made the young man said, "You guys probably don't remember me. I was a sophomore when you two graduated."
Pastor Roberts asked, "Okay if I steal Boomer for a few?" Mark and the pastor's son watched Boomer and the pastor disappear for some spiritual guidance leaving his son Kelley with Mark. "I sure looked up to you in high school Mark."
"If I remember, you were on the swim team and golf team. Back then I remember watching you swim. What you been up to since I last saw you in high school?"
"Going to college...Still swimming."
"Me too. College that is."
"Do you mind if I sit?"
"No."
The two sat conversing about their colleges. Mark, aware of the pastor's intentions. Pastor Roberts had been there for Mark when he returned to the world and now, he wanted to give Boomer some of the same spiritual advice. Mark noticed that Kelley kept rubbing his leg against Mark's. Mark didn't know if the younger man realized what he was doing or if doing it on purpose.
"You ready to go swimming?"
"I guess, but I didn't bring my swim wear."
"Come on let's go up to my old room...See what I can dig up...Follow me upstairs we can change up there."
In the bedroom, the two men naked, Mark couldn't keep his eyes off the younger man standing a few feet away sporting a sizeable halfie. Kelley's manhood a definite eye-catcher. A very desirable appearing package. Mark found Kelley a swim suite, but before either one put on their individual swim wear Kelley blurted out, "I'm queer...I hope that won't make any difference."
"No...Seems to be a lot of that going around," Mark said humorously. "So, is your dad aware?"
"No."
Kelley grabbed Mark. Eager for each other's touch the two embraced, grinding their hard bodies together, throwing caution to winds.
The younger man pushed the older onto the bed. Kelley, straddling Mark's torso his hardness poking towards his old high school acquaintance's face. Mark said, "Damn, that's a magnificent hard-on."
Mark reached for the hard cock, tugging on it. Kelley scooted forward, so Mark could begin licking the head. "So, what all have you done thus far with a guy?"
"Not all that much. Some oral sex, but I want to do more."
"I see."
"I got started with guys in college...Guys hit on me in high school, but I never picked up on it," Kelley said.
Of course, Kelley was lying.
"I can see why the queer guys in high school hit on you, your body is a magnet."
"Will you mentor me Mark?"
Without another word Kelley began lowering his face towards Mark's face where he whispered, "I want you to teach me...Everything."
Mark's smile answered the question. He took control of the situation nibbling on Kelley's earlobes. "How'd you know I'd accept your advances?"
"At the table rubbing your leg you didn't push me away and when you saw me half boned up a few minutes ago you had a special look in your eye, so I decided to gamble."
The two turned opposite each other where they began performing oral sex. Mark mesmerized by the proportional size of Kelley's cock and the majestic cockhead. He took the head into his mouth. In a matter of minutes precum began to flow and Mark sensed his partner preparing to ejaculate. After the two orgasmed pleasure coos came from Kelley begging for more. Kelley scooted up towards Mark's head. "You think we can get away with spending the rest of the afternoon here?"
"I doubt it," Mark said. "In fact, people at the party are probably already wondering where we went."
"I definitely want to get together with you again."
The two put on their swim attire and headed back to the party. With mostly younger crowd in the pool the two mingled and chatted. One young lady about Mark's age asked Mark, "You seen your old girl friend from high school?"
"Nah, I heard she married some Air Force guy. Had a little girl, lives up in the Bay area someplace."
"Not any longer. She got divorced. Moved to Carson over a year ago with her little boy and girl."
"Really!" Mark exclaimed.
"Yeah, she really looked beat up when I saw her. Oh, she asked about you. I told her you were in the Army, other than that I didn't know what else to tell her."
"If you see her again don't tell her you saw me. Don't need no damn drama in my life," Mark said.
By then Boomer had joined Mark and Kelley. "What about my old ex-fiancée," Boomer asked.
"Haven't seen or heard about her since high school graduation."
The young lady made a splash reentering the pool with her friend leaving Mark and Boomer looking at each other in a quizzical manner. Suddenly, Billy showed up. The four got up to get drinks and then sit at one of the tables where they could watch the action in the pool. Unknown to Mark, Billy and Boomer were discreetly playing footsie beneath the table and Kelley again rubbing Mark's leg. Occasionally, they'd smile that knowing smile at the other.
Mark's mom came by remarking, "Son, you look kind of down."
"A lot on my mind mom."
"You all make sure you get plenty to eat," Mark's mom said.
Pastor Roberts approached asking, "Kelley you ready to go?"
"Not really dad...I want to spend more time with the guys."
"You couldn't pick a better group of young men to hang out with. Give me a call and let me know what and where you'll be later-on."
"Will do dad...I got my car to get home."
As Pastor Roberts walked away the chatter at the table picked up. Mark however not a part of the conversation. His mind full of what had taken place the past few days and what lay ahead. He now faced a dilemma. He wanted to engage in some serious sex with both Boomer and Kelley. Mark couldn't get the imposing image of Kelley's cock and magnificent cockhead out of his head, but it wasn't just his cock. The young man's entire body beckoned.
Mark wanted to bury his face between Kelley's splendid bunns. He wanted to eat him and then fuck him. What he really wanted was for Kelley to fuck him with his big cock while Boomer sucked his cock and vice versus: a threesome.
