Once Upon a Time...Again

Chapter 9

Tony

Everything had fallen into place quickly, the bank accepted my offer on the Hancock place, my house back in the city, sold quickly, and it even went above asking price, so I had a little extra to spend on renovations on my new place. I cleaned and started painting, I hired an electrician and plumber to come in and go through the house. I didn’t want any unexpected surprises once I moved in.

I spent the first couple days back in Green Lake with Frank, going over the books for my new clients. Frank was old school, he kept Journals and ledgers on paper for all his clients. I bought accounting software and was going to put all the records on my computer. Since I was still staying at the motel, Frank took me around to meet all our clients at their businesses. They all welcomed me and wished Frank well in his retirement.

We were back at Frank’s office packing up the last of the records I would need, we were talking about the town and its residents.

I asked, “so how come the area around the lake has never been developed? I mean it’s a beautiful place and I would think people from miles around would like to come here to fish.”

He said, “oh, no one has told you about the Nelson family.”

I raised an eyebrow, “the Nelson family?”

He nodded, “yep, Tom Nelson, he lives on the north side of the lake. His great, great grandfather was the first to settle here when the area was opened up back in the 1800’s. His original homestead was on the north side of the lake, right where Tom’s house is now. As soon as the grandfather had his farm up and running, he started to buy the neighbors out whenever one would decide to move on. He worked hard and never cheated any of the neighbors, he just waited until they were ready to retire and gave them a fair price. By the early 1900’s he owned the entire north shore of the lake. The town grew up on the southeast corner of the lake and most of the town people didn’t want all the tourists so none of the other farmers sold their property to any developers. The next generations of Nelsons continued to buy the property in the same way. About twenty years ago, a developer showed up and wanted to buy the property on the east side of lake, north of town. Tom Nelson quickly stepped in and matched the developer’s offer, preventing some hotels and cabins from being built. Some of the town was disappointed, they knew that extra people in town would help their businesses. Ever since then, Tom has been very generous with his money. The school needed a new football field, he wrote a check, the church needs a new roof, he wrote a check. The last check he wrote paid for the new fire truck the volunteer fire department needed.”

I nodded, “so, he didn’t want the town overrun with people wanting to spend money, so he keeps everyone happy by donating lots of money.”

Frank smiled, “that’s about right, if your house was a little closer to the lake, he would have probably already bought it too.”

I asked, “does he have any kids to keep the farm going?”

Frank nodded. “Yep, his son Alex is about your age and is already being trained to carry on the tradition.”

I said, “wow, so he makes a lot of money, while everyone else in town just makes a modest living.”

“Yeah, it’s kind of a double edge sword, if he had not stopped the developer, the lake would probably be surrounded by big lake houses that are only used half the year, filled with power boats and jet skis disrupting any fishing, but all of our businesses would be making more money. On the other hand, the cost of living here has remained low, we have a nice friendly town and all live in relative peace. The town is divided on which would be better.” Frank told me.

I thought about it and decided that if the area had been developed like Frank said, I probably would have never moved here. We finished moving all the boxes out of the office and Frank gave his key to Todd at the hardware store next-door.

The electrician I hired had gone through the house and made sure everything was up to code, luckily there were only a few minor issues that he was able to quickly fix. The plumber was also looking things over for me, there very several issues that he was working on, and I decided to have him replace all the faucets. Sitting unused for over a year caused the seals to dry out and start to leak. He called me with a list of things that he would need today, so I stopped at Farley’s to pick them up. Todd had been so helpful as I came in for supplies, he was helping me get the things I needed for my plumber when he introduced me to Jace.

Jace smiled as he shook my hand, God he was gorgeous. He had blonde hair that hung down to just below his shoulders, tied back in a ponytail. His blue eyes sparked when smiled, damn, the last time I noticed eyes like that was when I met Liam. My stomach flipped as I scanned the rest of his body, more blonde hair poked out of the V-neck of his tight shirt, his broad chest and flat stomach were also impressive. He was wearing cargo shorts and his muscular legs were covered in that same blonde fur that I noticed on his chest. I was trying to keep my feelings in check, but I couldn’t help but think that the last time I felt like this was when I first met Liam. I tried to calm done and remember not to compare, like Dr Walsh had told me.

I came back to reality and said, “Todd tells me you do carpentry work.”

He smiled, “sure do, you have some work you need done?”

I nodded, “yes, if you want to come out to look at it sometime, just let me know.”

The next thing I knew, Jace was sitting beside me in my car, and we were headed out to my house.

I said, “I have a few projects in the house to do, then I would like you to tell me if you can fix the roof on my barn.”

He asked, “what’s wrong with the roof, is it leaking?”

I chuckled, “no, it’s gone.”

Jace laughed, “ok then, we’ll see what we can do.”

I asked, “so, how long have you been doing this kind of work?”

He said, “well, I just came back to town a few months ago, but I learned about construction during the three years I was in prison.”

I glanced over at him, “prison, can I ask why you were there?”

He smiled, “sure, I was with the wrong people when they did some bad things.”

Jace went on to tell me the whole story, finishing as we pulled into the drive. He was so sincere, and I knew he was trying to move on and get his life together. I showed him around the house told him plans to use the parlor for my office. I had gotten the front yard mostly cleaned up, but still wanted to do some landscaping. The back yard was still a complete mess. He told me he would be happy to work on that with me. We made our way to the barn, and he looked at the roof.

He said, “this should be no problem, the rafters are all still in good shape. All we will need is new sheeting and shingles.”

We went into the barn and looked at the interior, Jace asked, “what are your plans in here?”

I shrugged, “I didn’t have any, I’m not sure what to do here yet.”

He asked, “do you mind if I make a suggestion?”

I said, “no, not at all.”

He said, “we could clear the area right in front of the barn for a little parking, then we put a couple walls up in here and you could put your accounting office in here. That way you don’t have a lot of people in your house.”

I thought for a second, “that is a great idea.”

He looked up at the hay loft, “maybe you could make that into an apartment, that would give you a little extra income each month.”

I was stunned, “wow, I need to start thinking outside the box a little more. When can you start?”

He smiled, “I should finish putting the door in for Todd this week, I could be here in couple days.”

We walked further into the barn, and he saw the old truck sitting there, He asked, “does that run?”

I shrugged, “I’m not sure, it came with the place, I haven’t had time to check it out.”

Jace walked around it, “would you mind if I tinkered with it, if I’m going to do all this work, I might need a truck, it’s kind of hard to haul 2x4’s in my old Honda.”

I laughed, “yeah, that might be tough. I tell you what, you get it running and you can have it, we can figure out a fair price and work something out with the cost of your labor.”

He held out his hand, “you got a deal.”

True to his word, Jace was at my place two days later. We started in on the back yard, clearing old bushes, filling some hole that wildlife had dug in the year that place sat empty. We finished patching the cracks on the plaster in the house and were able to finish painting all the walls. I was finally able to move in, I set up my office in the parlor as planned, but just temporarily. We were ready to start on the barn, Jace had made a list of materials that we would need, and Todd delivered them the next day.

Jace was still getting smaller jobs in town, so I was working in my office in the mornings while he worked on those. Then he would show up in the afternoon and I would help him work on the barn. I couldn’t wait to hear that old Honda pull up in my driveway every day. When he would take his shirt off in the hot summer sun, my heart would nearly skip a beat, watching his muscles flex and strain as he worked never failed to cause my dick to twitch. The sweat rolling down his hairy, tanned skin, I really had to concentrate to keep my mind on the task at hand.

We got the roof back on and repaired some of the siding, the barn was looking pretty good. We moved inside, a good cleaning was first on our to-do list. I had a dumpster delivered to throw all the junk that wasn’t usable away. We had the first floor cleared and went to the hay loft next. There was some old hay, and the floor was covered with several inches of dust. We went to work, we had both taken off our shirts a were wearing shorts, by the time we finished at the end of the day, we were both covered with dust. Well, actually, our sweat had turned that dust to mud with streaks running down our bodies, where the sweat had run. We stood there for a minute, admiring our work, I looked over at Jace and laughed.

He smiled at me and asked, “what’s so funny?”

I said, “the only clean thing on you are your white teeth when you smile.”

He looked down at his chest and arms and laughed, “you should look in a mirror.”

We crawled down and went to the house, we got to the back door, and I saw the garden hose laying there from when we watered the plants, we had planted last week.

I picked it up and looked at Jace, “we need to rinse off before we hit the shower, otherwise the mud will clog the drains.”

He looked at me wide eyed, “that water is going to be cold.”

I chuckled, “I know, but we have to.”

He nodded, “yeah, I guess you’re right.”

I reached down to turn the water on and turned back to Jace. I was shocked when I saw that he had kicked off his shoes and was pulling his shorts and underwear off.

He shrugged, “I don’t have any other clothes to put on if I get these wet.”

God, he looked so hot standing there in front of me, completely naked. His dick was perfect, about four inches soft and nice mushroom head, hanging over two plum sized balls.

He held his arms straight out to his sides and said, “ok, let me have it.”

I sprayed the water, starting at his head as he scrubbed his hands through his golden locks, dirty water running down his chest. He gasped as I worked down his body, his nuts pulling up, searching for warmth. He ran his hands up and down his body and legs, then turned so I could spray his back. Shit, his ass was just as hot as the rest of his body, covered in that sexy blonde fur. The last time I saw a nice hairy ass like this was when I was with Liam. I was suddenly hoping I my own cock wouldn’t get hard at the sight.

Jace turned toward me with a smile, “ok, now it’s your turn, strip down.”

I kicked my shoes off and dropped my shorts, Jace was clearly enjoying himself as he hosed me off with the cold water. I felt my own cock and balls shrink as the water flowed over them.

We finished and walked into the house, I grabbed a couple towels from the laundry room and said, “the shower is big enough for both of us if want to share.”

He smiled, “lead the way.”

We stepped in the shower and shampooed our hair and soaped up our bodies and rinsed off, alternating under the water. Jace had taken out the band holding his hair in a ponytail as I hosed him off outside. His wet hair now clung to his shoulders and the side of his face. He pulled it back and looked at me and smiled. I smiled back and gave his body another quick scan, I stopped when I got to his hard cock sticking straight out in front of him. My own dick sprang to life in record speed, Jace looked down and his grin widened.

He reached down and started to stroke me and leaned in for a kiss. I let out a heavy sigh and followed his lead and wrapped my hand around his dick. We were soon wrapping our arms around each other as we continued to kiss and our hard cocks rubbing against one another. I shut the water off and we toweled off and went to the bedroom. We fell onto the bed sucking each other’s dicks and fondling each other’s nuts. I started to lick Jace’s hairy sack and suck each nut into my mouth one at a time. I rubbed a finger up his crack and let out a deep moan. Jace reached back and spread his cheeks apart, I took this as an invitation and ran my tongue across his pink hole. He rolled onto his back and pulled his legs up giving me full access. I rimmed him as he rolled his head from side to side giving me moans of encouragement. Once I had his hole covered in my slobber, I went up and kissed his full lips and guided my aching cock into his waiting hole. We made out while I pumped his ass, a few minutes later we were both panting and groaning. I couldn’t hold out any longer and released my hot load in the sweet ass. Jace grunted and coated our stomachs in his own creamy goodness.

My softening dick slipped out of his stretched hole as we continued to kiss. I finally rolled over and lay next to Jace, both of us trying to catch our breath.

Jace turned to me, “you can hose me off anytime.”
