Tommy and Devin

The next day we started our day and nothing was mentioned, in the morning, I talked to Devin about it a bit and the elephant in the room, would be we need to talk about it? or at least confront it to ease the situation between the 3 of us. We agreed that at supper tonight we’d talk about it. I had an appointment in town at the bank so Devin went out to work with Kevin.

I had the closing on the Jerry Kurtz land next door and suddenly on my ride home I felt more scared than I had ever before. Here I was 20 years old running my parents ranch, with 2 employees, and now I was holding a mortgage on a old farm house and property and an additional bank loan for an expansion well beyond my imagination, it was all very overwhelming. I slowed down as I approached the ranch and decided to turn into the Kurtz property, it’s been years since anyone has actually lived there and I took the keys and did a quick walk through of the house in much need of repair. I couldn’t decide if we should fix it, perhaps make it a place Kevin could rent or if I should tear it down. I looked out the 2nd floor window at the overgrown fields and decided we needed to work the land first and we could forget about the house till some of the current bills were being managed and paid for. Man the more I thought about it,  the more scared I got. I called Devin on my phone and asked him to come over, which he did driving the gator, and he had Kevin with him. I met them down in the living room which obviously had some sort of critter living there as well.

He and Kevin immediately came over to hug me, as I said “well boys it’s all mine now”. Then Devin said, “never mind about tonight’s talk” he and Kevin talked it over and everything was cool. That was a bit of a relief to my ever burdening increasing stress levels.  Devin walked around eying the place, as I said I thought we should tear it down. Devin then said, “well you can do that,… but remember that dude ranch idea, this could be a good start, where we could convert it to a dormitory style residence and then we could add some cabins or even some travel trailers out in the yard by the road”. Damn it was a good idea, but still seemed to overwhelmingly ambitious to me.

We walked around the property a bit then we all piled onto the gator and went on an excursion to the far reaches of the property before it got dark. I had been on the property many times before but years ago, and forgot how big it really was. The boys exclaimed what a steal I got it for, ol Jerry had specified he’d prefer it to go to my dad and the ranch if at all feasible, he was in a nursing home now and didn’t even know mom and dad passed.

Devin was already surveying out potential new horse trails and hay fields while Kevin was making scheduling plans to begin clearing the overgrown fields so they’d be ready for haying in the spring, while still attending to our daily work. Either way we’d need another person pretty quick. Kevin also mentioned he was pretty good at electrical and plumbing as he worked for several years part time for a contractor between farming jobs and this winter when we basically only had livestock to attend to we could be working in the house. So we went back to the house to survey it a bit closer and they both thought we could turn the 4 upstairs bedrooms into 5 or 6 and keep the kitchen, dining room, living room and convert the porch and den into another 3 or 4 bedrooms but we’d have to convert the ½ bath downstairs into another full bath, and upgrade the electric, plumbing and septic system. Eventually over time we could convert the cellar to a living room/ rec room and make the first floor all bedrooms. Their ideas were still a bit too grand for me.

We went back to our house where the boys were so hyped up they almost had me convinced, while they both threw a quick supper together for us all. After dinner we continued to talk into the night and I agreed to go back to town to talk to the bank in the morning again. Devin also said if I was willing, and his current living arrangements were OK with me, he’ pay up to 1/3 of the “Dude Ranch” portion of the additional loans and Kevin quickly chimed in too, which would make us 3 equal partners in just the Dude Ranch, with the land under it still belonging to me and the family ranch. They assured me that if it failed we could close it down and sell off any assets, and the trails and horses would belong to the original ranch/farm, being me, and we’d pay me for rental of the horses and feed. It was too much to work out tonight, but the more they talked, the more of a win, win it would be for me too.

Kevin retired up to bed and Devin and I followed shortly after. Once we were in the room he shut the door and said that I really needed some stress relief. He thought I was overly tense and worried, I begged him, not tonight, but he insisted and took total control. The man was a wonder, he was fantastic, he sat me on the beds edge climbed up on the bed behind me, and began to massage my shoulders after removing my shirt, his thumbs were like ball bearings mashing through my skin deep into my muscles. My head fell forward, my chin dropped to my chest as he worked his way down my back, shoulder blades, ribs and waist before reaching around to my chest. He was squeezing each peck and drawing the blood from the center out and up into my arm pits before going back to work on my back. He made some space between us as he pulled me back into his chest that somehow managed to get stripped of all clothes. As I fell back into his chest I could feel his naked hard dick touch my waist and he unbuckled my belt and opened my pants as he worked both hands around my ever hardening package through my underwear. He reached into the waistband on both sides and pushed my pants down over my bent knees with them falling to my feet still just off the floor. My tired eyes now closed while his dick was poking me in the back right above my ass crack. I reached down under my balls finding his balls, giving them a squeeze as he rolled me to my side and pressed his dick into my crack . suddenly panic overcame me, and he said, “no don’t worry, not tonight” as he reached around me jerking my rod with loving affection so slow and softly. He continued to whisper in my ear nibbling it between words. His nose pressed firmly into my head, as he inhaled deep breaths of my hair and stroked it and my face with his other hand, all the while gently switching back and forth from a gentle jerk off, to a ball massage. I lay there in complete relaxation till suddenly my abdominal muscles tensed and he knew it. He rolled me onto my back as he brought his face to my hardened shaft and he began a volcanic suck on my shaft and head, erupting in flying cum down his throat, I swear it probably had the force behind it to travel through his body and exit his ass. My entire body was spasming for over 10 minutes but it felt so good. Still on my back he let me catch my breath, and he reached over for some lube and climbed up on top of me as he put on a sensual show. Me watching his hard body, abs and muscle dancing just above me and lubing himself and me up I had no recourse but to be hard again, as he sat on my shaft and rocked himself to orgasm all over my chest and chin, eventually collapsing onto me rolling us on our side, him still inside me as we embraced in the tightest hugging kiss ever. For a few moments I felt my softening dick yet still inside him and his membranes shrinking tightly around it. Soon I needed to shift my weight releasing it from its captivity as my second load of cum leaked out onto my dicks knob as I gently squished my dick into his exposed leg skin between his balls and thigh. We fell asleep there all night and yes I was relaxed with no stress left inside at all.

The next morning I went back to the bank and after some discussions the banker was impressed with the ideas, and thought he could come up with some local investors to front the loans for us, as they’d be eager for additional commerce coming into the town from the out of town tourist draw. Two days later the pre approvals came through, just some legal paperwork between the 3 of us and the bank setting up a separate business, I contacted my lawyers, and the bank said that we’d also need to pass town board approval which he didn’t see as a problem. So it was full steam ahead I guess, within a few weeks we were tackling another business plan and I needed more help.

One day my ex girlfriend Maryann came driving up the road and pulled in, Devin and I were surveying how to convert an old vegetable stand that was a converted barn shed that my mom used to sell vegetables out of to passer bys, out by the road into a make-shift temporary office for the Dude Ranch. She had broken up with that jerk Billy Prescott and still was unaware of my current situation with Devin, after all very few people knew. Devin and I played it cool and she seemed to flirt a bit with both of us. Turns out she was recently unemployed and actually stopped by to see if she could possibly get some part time work hearing about our expansion plans buzz around the town. She was attending accounting classes at night at a local college. After some discussion Devin and I thought we’d give her a try, freeing me back up a bit to work with the boys again. She was ecstatic, but we needed to come clean to her, so I took her inside the house and told Devin to come along as well, and we sat at the kitchen table and told her “first we need to be out front with you, knowing your past relationship with me. You see ummm, ummmm,... Devin and I are a thing now”…… as she gasped with surprise, but yet she was accepting of it saying well kind of jokingly, “my first and one true love turned out gay”. But she really assured us she was good with it all, and wasn’t looking for a relationship right now, she had had enough with Billy for a while and needed a break. But being a small town she and he were still friends. But I still thought he was a jackass jerk.

So now by day we were 3 guys and a girl, going into our slow season, but busier than ever working on several projects. By night it was me, Devin and Kevin living dormitory style in my parents’ house. We converted a small den into an office with a private entrance for Maryann so she didn’t have to traipse through the house and work out of the kitchen like my mother did, as it was too cold for our stalled vegetable shed conversion project with no heat out by the road. All else was on track and everything was going way too good. That is until one day when Billy Presscott showed up at the door and I came into the office from outside, he was talking with Maryann. He looked down, waved hello to me, got very quiet and left, I didn’t think much of it other than he was always a jerk who bullied his way through high school and my best friend Dave, as well as accusing him of being gay even before Dave knew it. Then I thought to myself, what would he think if he knew about me now?

A few weeks later, my banker called for a meeting, so I met him in town for lunch. He came into the diner without his usual smile, sat and began his story. It seems the town board has rejected the Dude Ranch venture. Shocked I said “But what happened? Everything was so up and up and going great” I asked. He explained he wasn’t sure and of course it’s not the official reason, but he thinks word got around that we were a group of gays starting a gay business and the town isn’t ready to do that. In anger I declared out loud “That’s Discrimination”! As he calmed me down saying he wanted to tell me before the rumors started, and also warned me of possible repercussions to my normal horse ranch business as well, he said he will continue to investigate and fight for me, but right now we should hold off on the whole dude ranch thing, and concentrate on making the ranch expansion work, he even went as far as to say, if we need to we can sell off the Kurtz property since Jerry Kurtz made a special deal for me, and I could get a much higher price if we needed to, but assured me that was a last resort to ease my mind.

I didn’t even eat, I was downright pissed and burning with anger. Who would have been the person or reason this is all about? I began to head to the truck, but decided to stop in to see Dave’s Dad at his store across the street. I talked to him, no actually, I yelled my disgust at him, as he stood there in disbelief, and assured me he knew many of the board members and chamber members as well, and he himself would get to the bottom of it, as he walked me to my truck assuring me it wasn’t over and to calm down, and there are many bumps in the business world and they manage to work out in the end.

I headed back home and gathered Maryann and the boys and gave them the sad news, they all wanted to head to town. Kevin wanted to beat the living shit out of someone, now I was the guy calming people down. Freaking conservative small town politics, what the hell difference does being gay have to do with it? Suppose I was single (oh yeah technically I am) black, or yellow or handicapped, my ranch is different because I am not hetero? What the fuck! Many of these people are family friends and customers for years, and just like that they write me off. Inside my calming words to my co workers I was genuinely as pissed as they were.

The next day I went back into town to seek out some of the board members myself, and try to talk to them individually, but stopped in Dave’s dads store first to let him know my plans. Heading in I noticed something different... Yes…. There it was….prominently in a front window a LGBTQ Pride flag prominently displayed where all could see. I stopped dead in my tracks and began to tear up. Here’s my best gay friends dad and mom who initially had some trouble with Dave’s coming out,  proudly making a statement to my town, later I thought where on earth did he have to go to get that thing as quickly as he did and boy now his reputation was on the line as well …. All For me.
