In this Chapter we will have a baseball playoff game, college visit, and a bit of drama of course. We will get to know some other characters better and of course keep up with Austin and Hudson.
Then we slid under the covers and lay there face to face. I leaned in and kissed him and said, “love you good night”. He took my hand in his and said, “love you always”. I fell asleep happier than I had been in, maybe ever. We started out facing each other and ended up spooned together, with me as the little spoon. Sometime in the middle of the night, I felt the bed shift and Hudson got up, I heard him in the bathroom, and this triggered my bladder too. I sleepily trudged to the bathroom and joined him at the toilet. As I began to release, Hudson leaned in and kissed me. Now, you might think it weird, but to me there isn’t a wrong time or place for him to kiss me. We finished up and padded back to bed.
Once under the covers we assumed the spoon positions again. I felt Hudson’s hands exploring my body and his tongue my neck and ear, then he planted small kisses on my shoulder. I just soaked it all in, moaning and groaning. Hudson then pulled me over on my back and straddled me. My cock rested in his crack, and he leaned in and kissed me. I was not sure where this was going but I was along for the ride. He said, “how are you feeling”. My reply was one word, “awesome”. He just smirked and winked. He then kissed his way down to my nipples, he took one in between his teeth lightly and I hissed, “yesssss”. He continued down my abs. His light lip service was both electric and sensual. He then slowly pushed up my legs and bent my knees. He was slicking his cock with his spit. Then he bent down and began licking the head of my cock. I let out an, “oh my god”. He joked back, “you can just call me Hudson”. I chuckled. He kept sucking me down. I felt him scoot closer, then the head of his cock was knocking at my ring. He stopped and said, “this ok”. I said, “you are in control, anything you want”. He looked into my eyes and said, “really, you like me in control, Aus”. I shyly replied, “yes”. He then breached me at the same time as he engulfed my cock. Holy hell. He was rocking his hips and sucking my dick. I was completely under his control. I felt my orgasm building and I knew it was imminent. I said, “going……..to……… cum…..Hud”. Just then I flooded his mouth. I felt my ring tighten and the result was he tensed up and began to fill me for the second time tonight. I felt his heat in me claiming me, controlling me. He swallowed in time to say, Uhhhhhhhh Aus!
He stayed lodged there for a bit and collapsed on me. I ran my hands through his hair, and he leaned up and looked in my eyes and then kissed me. I tasted his lips, me, and his sweat. I mouthed, “love you so much”, into the kiss, his reply was, “love you more”. He slipped out of me and lay on me fully. He slid off to the side a bit and curled up next to me like Velcro to my side, head on my chest. We both slipped back into sleep.
When we next woke up the sun was peering through the blinds. There was a light knock on the door. Mom’s voice said, “breakfast is ready boys”. I replied, “ok, be right down”. We both hit the bathroom, got dressed quickly. I stripped the bed and we headed down. Mom already had two plates for us at the counter. I said, “thanks mom”. We set down and I said, “just us, where are dad and Jimmy”. She said, they already ate and headed off to the Bauman farm. I nodded. Mom had a look on her face. I looked at her quizzically. She then said, “ok boys we should talk”. Hudson and I looked at each other. Uh-oh. I said, “ok mom, um is everything ok”. She said, “honey, everything is fine but we should talk about your relationship”. Hudson, coughed and looked up. I slowly said, “relationship”. She said, “ok, you know me and I won’t dance around this, I have suspected there was something going on, but I wasn’t sure what it was, but after this picture last night I knew”. She turned her phone to me and there it was. It was a photo of us right before we looked at the camera last night. Hudson and I were staring at each other, with the biggest grins on our faces and our pinkies connected. My heart did a flip. I just said, “Rose warned me”. Mom said, “what”. I explained that Rose called me out at school one day for the way I look at Hudson. She said I had love written all over my face every time I look at him. Hudson said, “yeah Jimmy told me the same thing, that and my goofy grin and the winks”.
It got quiet. Mom said, “so, how do we handle this”. I said, “well mom, I love him”. He said, “I love him too”. She said, “that much is obvious, but have you two thought about the repercussions”? She said, “I fully support you two, but just know this might not be the easiest path forward for you, Hudson and Jimmy are in our care. I understand you two are both 18, but you do still live under our roof”. I said, “yes, I have certainly thought about that”. Hudson said, “I know this, nothing in my life has ever been easy, but there has been one person that has always been there”. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. I just took his hand and said, “always will be”. I was now tearing up a bit too. Mom, just said, “oh lord help me, you two have it worse than your father and I did”. She then said, “well I want to say your dad and I support you, but please understand Jimmy is right down the hall from your two, so last night’s activities, should not be repeated while we are home”. She went on to say, “what you two do as the young adult men you are is between you, but also understand Jimmy is young and might not understand”. Hudson spoke up and said, “ma’am, ummm, he kinda already knows, I think he figured it out before I did”. She chuckled, “he is a sharp one”. We ended with a hug and mom said, “Now I’m sure your father will also have a talk with you boys, maybe even ‘the talk’”. I groaned, “gross, please no”. We all had a good laugh and hugged it out.
Dad and I never really had that talk, he just said, “son, I love you, and I know you are a good kid, and will do what any honorable young man would, we raised you right”. Hudson did set down with Jimmy and have a private talk about us, and their parents. Jimmy had a lot of questions, thankfully they were more about their parents. He was concerned for his mom, and for what might happen to him. Mom stepped in and assured him that for now and the foreseeable future they would both be living here.
Monday brought a new host of school related issues. We all had breakfast, and I asked Jacob how his grandfather was doing and if he had recovered from his encounter with Darla at prom. Cole chuckled, and Jacob assured me that Ms. Darla, was summoned to a Monday morning meeting at Grandfather’s office. I said, “oh that serious”. He replied, “Grandfather just wants her to know that the company does not tolerate any discrimination within his companies”. Cole asked Jacob if he had heard from Tara since prom or know where she disappeared to. Hudson shrugged and said, “nope”. I said, “Alex hung out with us, and later in the evening he got a text from her saying she found someone more fun”. Alex laughed and said, “dodged a bullet with that one”.
We finished breakfast and headed to school, upon entering all 6 of us, Rose, Sara, Cole, Jacob, Hudson and I were summoned to the office. We entered and all three administrators were present. They asked us to set. They wanted to make sure that Cole and Jacob understood that the school in no way supported or condoned the use of Darla’s language. The wanted to talk to all of us and make sure that we were comfortable back in class. We all sort of looked at each other. I then said, “we will be fine, I think at one point or another most of us have dealt with the ire of Tara”. Principal Jenkins responded that she understood but wanted to check in with us. She thanked us for our time and sent us off to class.
Upon leaving the office I turned the corner and almost ran right into none other than tornado herself. I was a bit shocked, she looked at me in disgust. She scoffed, “move please”. I stepped aside and went on down the hall. She scowled at all of us as we walked by, but it was Rose that smiled and said, “care to bow to your queen”. My eyes bulged and I guffawed. Wow, she really went there. We all made our way to class there were a few whispers but primarily everyone was focused on playoff game Thursday night.
The rest of the week went pretty uneventful, Darla kept her job, with the stipulation she complete extensive sensitivity training. Thursday brought the usual pep rally and community gathering. Hudson and I kept our promise to not engage in activities while others were home, which meant, we hadn’t done any more that jerk off together in the shower, but honestly anything I got to do with Hudson made my dreams come true.
The day of the game, after school Cole and I did our usual workout, I wore the “lucky” jock and left it in Hudson’s locker, Cole said, “really he wants to wear that after your sweaty balls have been in it, gross”. I said, “well I am glad you find my sweaty balls gross”. He retorted, “fair point”. We then showered and made our way to the field. The team was walking out to warm up. Hudson was starting on the mound, so he was in the bull pen getting a few warm up throws in. I walked down the first base line close to where he was and just said, “good luck Hud, you got this”. Hud winked at me and Clay stood, smacked his glove and said, “fuck yeah, let’s do this”. They have a brief team meeting in the dugout and took the field. Hud was again throwing a gem, it was a scoreless game through the top of the third. Hunter was leading off the home half of the third, he was down 1-2 in the count, on the fourth pitch he hammered it down the line and the ball pinballed down in the corner, he sprinted past first, rounded second and slid into third with a lead off triple. The crowd and dugout erupted! Hudson was up next. He stepped in the box. The first two pitches were balls. Their coach called a time out and walked to the mound. They were walking Hudson, to pitch to Clay. Hudson begrudgingly trotted to first. Clay stepped in with an aggressive look in his eye. The first pitch was a fast ball the rode a bit high in the zone, he jumped on it and hammered it down the left field line. It was far enough the only question was fair or foul. About a second later it dinged off the foul pole. Fair ball, home run! Hunter trotted in and Hudson was pretty much floating around the bases and with the final exclamation Clay stomped on home and was greeted by the team.
That was all it took Hudson pitched the fourth and fifth, they added two more runs and coach pulled him for Tanner. He closed out the game with six straight outs. With the win in the books, they immediately began checking to see who won the other quarter final. They all had stunned looks on their faces. Alexs’ team had lost in extra innings, however there was some controversy. His coach was ejected for arguing balls and strikes, then in the top of the 9th the other team’s first basemen decided not to slide into second and just ran right over Alex. Alex had a separated shoulder and was taken to the hospital, the other player was ejected. Just so happened Alex would have been the third batter up in the bottom of the ninth, his replacement hit into a game ending double play.
While that news damped the celebration a minute amount it didn’t completely kill the mood. We all headed out to the diner again for a small celebration, again it was a school night, and we had a big weekend coming up with our college visit. Friday at school was all smiles and high fives. We got home and packed up our clothes and headed out. We picked up Clay and Hunter and were happy to hear that Alex doing well enough physically to join us. We made the three-and-a-half-hour drive and got checked into the hotel. With the stipend Hud and I had our own room, Clay and Hunter had one, Alex was rooming with Dalton and with no surprise Jackson and Cooper were in a room. We all went out for dinner and caught up. I talked with Alex, he was rightfully pissed off, but just said, make sure you whoop them Hudson.
After dinner we made our way back to the hotel, we gathered in our room since I had booked a suite. We all talked a bit and watched baseball. We settled on the plans for tomorrow, we would begin at 10 am with a general tour then we would go our separate ways to visit with respective coaches. We started dropping hints about being tired and everyone caught on and headed off to their rooms. Clay was the last to go and said, “glad I am on a different floor, don’t want to get woken up by you two banging the pictures off the wall”. I shoved him out the door.
By the time the door closed, Hudson was on me. His lips on mine, tongue sorting out my tonsils. He was wild with energy. We finally separated and he led me to the bed and set me down. He pulled off my socks, pants and shirt. He kissed mot every part of me when doing so. He then stood and stripped; fuck he was fine. He then turned and opened his bag, he pulled out the jock. He said, “umm would you be willing to wear this, and um can I fuck you in it”. I laughed, “Hud, you are a fan of jock straps huh”. He grinned and said, “if they are on you yes”. I stood and pulled it on. He knelt in front of me and rubbed his nose in my crotch. He then spun me around and pushed me on my knees on the bed. He began massaging my ass and then I felt his tongue. I growled, “Hud, yes”. He kept slathering my hole and reached under and massaged my jock bulge. I whined, “Hud, please fuck me, need you in me”. He was more than happy to oblige; I felt his thighs on the back of my legs and his cock sliding up my crack. He leaned forward and said, “Aus, you ready”. I said, “fuck yes, take me”. Then he pressed into me, I hissed, fuck it pinched and burned. He held steady. I adjusted to his girth and he slowly progressed. Then he began small strokes, each time sinking deeper. Finally, he bottomed out. He began stroking in and out, his fingers dug into my hips. Then he gathered the jock and wound his hand around it and I said, “go hard, I wanna feel it”. That was all the permission he needed. Hudson picked up the pace and began fucking me in earnest. Each time he retreated the head of his cock drug across my prostate. I pushed the pouch to the side and fisted my cock. This caused my hole to clinch and Hud groaned, “yessss”. I said, “I’m close”, he responded, “same”. I jerked faster, and felt the cum churning in my balls. Just then Hudson sunk in me and howled. My orgasm splashed on the comforter and his inside me. It was pure orgasmal bliss. Shot after shot came out of me and in me.
After clean-up we cuddled in bed. He was snuggled up beside me and I kissed his forehead. I said, “hey babe, how are you”. He replied, “never better Aus”. Sleep overcame us both quickly. I slept straight through and woke up feeling the bed move. Hudson was under the covers, and I felt his tongue on my morning wood. He began licking up and down and then he took me in his mouth. Fuck that felt good. He continued to pleasure me. Damn he was good, I announced, “Hud, soon”. With that I flooded his mouth with my load. He swallowed me down then teasingly flicked my sensitive head, I jerked and he laughed. He kissed me on the cheek and smiled. I immediately pushed him onto his back and slid down him. I began to pleasure him; he tensed and fisted the sheets. I began to suck in earnest and had him on the edge, I felt him getting close and stopped. He gasped, I let him calm down and started again, got him close, and stopped. He whined, “Aus, please”. I smiled and said, “please what”. He just said, “please”. I got him close again but this time he grabbed my head and thrust in me, he lodged in my throat and writhed there. I felt pulse after pulse from him. He held my head tight and let out a groan. He finally let up, and I gasped. He quickly said, “sorry”. I said, “don’t me, I like forceful Hudson”. He just laughed and said, “ohhh be careful what you wish for”. We both chuckled. It was still early so we dozed back off.
The second time we woke up we got up and showered. Then headed down for the breakfast. Clay and Hunter were there and seemed very chipper. Jackson and Cooper definitely were. Maybe I was reading way too much into this. Breakfast over we headed off to campus. It was beautiful, everything was in bloom and the tour was very nice. By noon we branched off and Cooper, Jackson, Alex and I headed off to the football complex, while the others went to the baseball fields. I for one was impressed with the facilities that had been going through a complete renovation over the past 5 years. It was no secret they wanted us and in the NIL era there were those discussions. They like to put on a show.
It was later in the afternoon when we wrapped up our visit. They had a home softball game, and we were invited to attend. It was a fun time and offered a good perspective on athletic support here. The game was sold out and they won. Just the atmosphere on campus was fun and there certainly seemed to be an air on the campus and at the game. It was one that we all vibed with.
After the game we decided to walk around campus without an escort. There were several cool old buildings mixed with some blended architecture. We made our way past the engineering buildings and several other division buildings. It was beginning to get dark, so we made our way back to the hotel and made dinner plans.
We went to a pizza place that was supposedly legendary. It was certainly good, but maybe the fact that most college students enjoy their cheap beer then the pizza becomes “legendary”. We made our way back to the hotel and decided to play cards. This time we went to Clay and Hunter’s room. We set around and chatted, played cards and watched some TV. I did make an observation based on experience. It appeared one bed was still made up by housekeeping and the other one was made but more like pull the covers up and place pillows, no sheets tucked in. I then looked at Clay and Hunter and formed a quick hypothesis. This was one that I certainly was not going to ask about. Mostly I was seeing the signs. Alex and Dalton seemed to relax and enjoy the company. I know they were still a bit salty about their loss but were coping. Alex shared some insight with the guys about their next opponent, and he even suggested that he would be willing to chat with them this week after they watched some game films. In his mind anyone should win except them. As we all wore down for the evening, we departed and agreed to meet in the morning and grab breakfast before departing.
Upon returning to our room Hudson asked me if Clay and Hunter seemed different. I just said, “different how”. He said, “well like they kept looking at each other, smiling, and being goofy, sort of how I look at you, ohhhhhh, do you think”. I laughed. I said, “I think you may be right, and mentioned the beds. He said, “well, good for them, then made a joke about Clay being a catcher. I shook my head and said, “well I don’t play wide receiver”. He snickered and said, “you will tonight”. I said, “you are gonna wear me out in the first month of us having sex”. He then got serious, “Aus, we don’t have to, sorry, I don’t want to hurt you”. I took his hand and grinned, “Hud, that is a pain I want from you, in fact, I sort of enjoy it, well not the pain in the beginning but the connection it gives us. He kissed me and said, “still, a night off might be welcome”. I said, “well I mean you could always let me back there”. He again took a serious tone, “Austin, I am not sure I want that, ummm is that going to be a problem”. I replied, “Hudson, I don’t care if I am always on the receiving end with you, in fact, I think I prefer it”. He just smiled and said, “deal”. We brushed our teeth and crawled into bed. We kissed, cuddled, talked, and fell asleep.
The next morning, we woke up and had breakfast together, I noted what Hudson was talking about with Clay and Hunter. As we were departing, we said our goodbyes Jackson and Cooper. Alex said he would be in touch and they headed off. The four of us loaded our bags and headed out. I couldn’t help but keep checking in the mirror for the two in the back seat. Clay caught me a few times, and blushed. Hudson kept looking over at me. There were some awkward silences and finally Hudson said, “oh holy hell are you two fucking”. Clays laughed and Hunter about choked. I said, “Hud, come on man”. He said, “dudes it’s cool I just hate the awkward situations”. Hunter retorted, “like us pretending you two haven’t been running through each other”. It was my turn to laugh. I said, “ok here is the deal, yes Hudson and I are together, but we have no interest in being the poster children for gay high school couples, we’d rather keep it between us”. They concurred and went on to say, they were not sure what they were, but they sure did like the sex. I just laughed and said, “yeah it is a pretty damn nice feeling huh”. Clay quickly said, “fuck yeah it feels great”. The rest of the trip was much more relaxed. We talked about the next game, and school, and summer plans.
We arrived home after dropping them off. We made our way down the drive I quickly noticed my sister Jackie’s car in the drive. We parked and made our way into the Kitchen. My sister popped off her chair and ran to hug me. It was great to see her. I said, “what’s the occasion”. She said, she had two weeks’ vacation from the hospital that she had to use. Then mom said, “and I asked her to come because we have to meet and settle grams will and estate”. My mood sobered, I said, oh yeah, I forgot about that. Just then Hudson hugged me and kissed my cheek. Jackie’s jaw dropped open. Mom said, “oh better close that mouth before you catch flies”. She looked and Hudson, then at me and said, “you fucker why didn’t you tell me”. I said, “what that I’m gay or that I’m in love with my best friend”. She replied, “yes”! I just said, “it’s sort of new”. She just said, “mmmhmmm remember I’m your sister I remember our talk when you were in what 7th grade”. I glared at her.
We excused ourselves and carried our stuff up to the room. When we walked in, I noticed a picture on our desk. It was a framed 5x7 that mom had taken of us looking at each other prom night. I just smiled. Hudson asked why I was grinning and I pointed to the picture. He just smiled too. Then he said, “hey about this stuff with your grams, I am here for anything you need”. I said, “I didn’t really know much about a will or estate, she had her car and I thought that was it”. We unpacked stuff and there was the jock. I chuckled and said, “wash or keep”. He quickly said, “oh keep for sure, I’ll need you in that much more”. I laughed and threw it on the bed.
We made our way back downstairs mom was making dinner and Jackie was with dad watching TV. I went in to help mom. I struck up a conversation about what she meant by the will and estate. She said, “well mom had investments, and stuff that she was very specific about and then her work with the charities needs to be addressed”. I did know about that. Mom said, “Ed, her lawyer would be by at 5 to go over everything”. She finished preparing dinner and right on time Ed arrived.
He asked where a good place to go would be. Mom suggested the office. We went across the house and into the office. Mom, Jackie and I set down with Ed at a small round table. He started handing out paperwork to us and had a stack of folders. He started “we are here to discuss the Estate of Virginia Craver, the three of you are her beneficiaries”. He then said, “you all have copies of the trust which outlines her assets, so let’s begin”. There was a bunch of legal jargon he went through. He then said, “I will get to the details now”. He started in. He said the 25% interest in Huntwell Industries would be split between the three of us equally as delineated in the family agreements. I stopped him, “what is Huntwell Industries”. He laughed and said, “oh, I thought you all knew”. Mom said, “I did, but she never felt the need to share with the kids”. Mom the explained that grams and her three brothers were all equal partners in this company they have holdings in everything from oil, where they started, to fertilizer, livestock feedlots, mining, lumber, and construction. I said, “I thought grams was poor and they lived in a sod house in Oklahoma”. She said, “yes they were orphaned there during the depression when her mother died. Her oldest brother Leroy started working for a local man, Clyde, who was wildcatting oil, to provide for the family. He was 14 at the time. The man he worked for began to get lucky striking on several wells. Well just so happened that their family farm was home to a lot of those wells. So those four orphaned kids became his business partners. Eventually Clyde took the kids in and raised them, since he didn’t have a family. They continued to live out there and buy up property and grow their business. Well Clyde passed away about 10 years later leaving everything to the 4 siblings. Well Leroy continued to run the company and the other three made up the board. He went on to explain our obligations, which I admit I tuned out. Then he said something that floored me. “The average yearly income from your share will be between 20 and 30 million annually”. I immediately said, “what”! He repeated himself. My sister and I were dumbfounded. Mom then said, “now let me explain, mom only kept enough to pay the taxes, invest some, and live on. The rest went to her charities that she worked with”. She explained a bit more and then it was starting to make sense. The scholarships, small business grants, food pantry, and other things. All of this was starting to overwhelm me a bit. I took a deep breath and refocused. Then he started in on her investments, those she divided equally between the three of us. Mom and Jackie’s would be turned over to them, and mine would be mine when I turned 25. Mom was the conservator and could access it to pay for college or anything I need. He then said, you will find that information in the next packet in your folders. We all pulled them out. My eyes about bugged out of my head. This clearly came as a surprise to mom and Jackie as well. I just said, “what are we supposed to do with this”. He replied, “well nothing really it’s all in managed funds and diversified, each year you can take the profits or just let them compound which is what Virginia did, she called it her ‘if I need a new life fund’”. I said, “that will buy a few new lives”. I was getting more uncomfortable by the moment, this was not me, I was not this guy. He then said, if we wished he would continue as the attorney and manage anything we needed. Made sense to me.
There were a few more personal items, I got the 59 ford, and grandpa’s old truck, Jackie got Gram’s car, and mom got her jewelry. There were papers to sign but he suggested we have them all looked over by a third party before filing. He could provide a list of attorney’s, he suggested that we each use different outside council. And that was it, the life of my wonderful, vibrant, loving grams was now just paper in a folder. That made my heart squeeze. Mom took our hands; it was clear we all three were feeling it. Ed said, well I will leave you now, you all have my number please reach out with any questions.
We set there and mom, true to form, straightened her back and said, “ok kids, that was a lot, and some of it was a surprise to me too, but this is what she wanted and we will honor that”.
We regrouped and walked out, mom announced, “dinner”. We made our way to the table and sat. Hudson sat beside me and immediately sensed my tension and mood. He took my hand under the table and rubbed his thumb over the back of my hand, and I felt his foot and knee against mine. This made me smile, I looked at him and he winked. If there was one thing I knew, it was this guy knew me and had my back. We were in for a long week, it was only Sunday, the playoff game was Wednesday, and the ACT was on Saturday. In the pit of my stomach, I felt something else was coming.
Thank you all for reading. Your comments are awesome. Hope you enjoy!
