Craig’s Story
It was 6AM on Thanksgiving Day, and I was up in a tree in the front yard adjusting the Christmas lights for the 2,304,723,407,209th time in two weeks. I had been working on the lights on the weekends and at night, I was bound and determined to make our house visible from the damn moon. Our landlords had left us some lights, Seth and Zach gave us a bunch more (some really cool Nightmare Before Christmas themed shit), Max and Brody gave us some extra cords and stuff, and I spent more money than I should’ve to buy more. But the coolest thing by far was life sized, wooden versions of me, Colton, Ella, and Caleb that Brody painted. I put it in the front near the road with spotlights on it just like the other two houses were doing. They were so cool! We were the new kids on the block, but I swear our lights were gonna be just as great as everyone else’s.
“Hey! Could ya’ use a hand from your old man?” A voice shouted from below: it was my dad. My dad and stepmom were spending the holiday with us. I was blown away when my they showed up at our wedding, now they were joining us for Thanksgiving. When I was a kid, and Mom was still alive, my dad used to go crazy with the Christmas lights. Our old redbrick house back in St Louis was three stories, and narrow with a flat roof. Dad basically wrapped the house in lights and put every giant Christmas inflatable known to man up on the flat roof every year. All our neighbors tried to keep up with him, it was always so much fun, our street became famous at Christmas. It took a few years for me and Dad to reconcile, but it felt good to have him back in my life again.
“Yeah” I shouted back, “Catch!” I threw down a wad of lights as I got on the stepladder and made my way to the ground. “Start wrapping those around the trunk of the tree.” I swear, I was on a mission to cover every damn inch of that yard! It’s funny how competitive I was getting with the other guys. Our house was gonna look as awesome as the others. Dad and I worked for a couple of hours, then we made the rounds to check out the neighbors. Zach and Freddy were across the road working on their house. Zach was excited to change things up from previous years, and Freddy was more than willing to tell us all about it. The kid was cracking me up as he walked around the yard telling us what was gonna light up, throwing his hands in the air and making sound effects to give us the big picture. After the tour, Zach and Freddy took a break and walked with us over to BroMax where Brody and Teddy were hard at work putting on the final touches on their light show. Teddy gave us the tour with the same excitement Freddy had. I couldn’t help but notice the proud expressions on Brody and Zach’s faces as they watched their sons get sucked into the holiday magic.
The boys were about twenty feet away when they came running over to us, “Dad, Dad, can I show ‘em?” Teddy shouted. His eyes were wide and his face lit up with excitement.
“Y’all know which switch it is?” Brody asked him. The boy nodded excitedly, then his did told him, “Go for it.” Him and his best friend ran toward the barn, a few seconds later we heard a loud ‘choo choo’ and a life size train filled with presents came out from behind the barn, then we heard a ‘whoosh’ coming from above. We looked up to see Santa and his reindeer-powered sleigh flying from the barn to the rooftop of the house.
The train made its way across the yard in a huge circle, then disappeared behind the house. The sleigh slowly circled the chimney then flew back and disappeared behind the barn. About a minute later they made the rounds again. The two seven year old’s were clapping and cheering, impressed as hell… I admit it, so were the adults.
“Wait ‘til y’all see it with the lights on” Brody said as he watched the show with pride on his face again. Next, we allwalked over to our yard. When we got there, I flipped on the display; Zach and Brody inspected everything and made some suggestions. Colton heard us out in the yard and came out with coffee and hot chocolate for everybody… Cay and Ella helped him carry the cups.
I put my arm over his shooulders, kissed the side of his head, and asked, “where’s my stepmom?” He looked at me and gritted his teeth.
Ella came up behind him and whispered, “she’s driving him nuts” making me laugh, and Colton grit his teeth harder.
My Dad overheard Ella, “she’s good at that” he said with a chuckle. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep her busy when I come inside.” I could see the look of appreciation on Colton’s face as he thanked my dad.
“I appreciate the help but…” Colton started to explain.
Dad laughed again, “No explanation needed Colton. I know my wife.”
Zach overheard and said, “Sounds like my mom… she’s across the street driving Seth nuts as we speak… my dad’s running interference.” I could see the stress leave Colt’s face as everyone commiserated. Everyone hung out in our yard for a bit longer, and the other guys helped me finish up the lights, then we all parted ways and we to our respective homes for Thanksgiving dinner.
“8PM launch, y’all!” Brody yelled as he walked back to his place. We all agreed meet on the road and to flip the switch on our lights at 8PM. I was excited!
Cay’s (AKA Caleb's) Story
Man, so much had happened since I found The Village in the beginning of the year. The short story is that I came out to my parents and they kicked me out. My dad was a religious zealot who saw me… and I quote… as a “disappointing abomination.” When I got kicked out, I called my friend Benji, he used to live by us, and went to our old church. His brother got kicked out of the house by his dad for being gay too. I don’t know why he was my first call; I mean he lived in New York, but I remembered he helped his brother and though maybe he could help me. He did. He told me to go to The Village, find Seth, and ask for help. So, that’s what I did… and Seth changed my life. I went there in the middle of the night and was sleeping on the steps of his office when he got in. He handed me a cup of coffee and went right to work. By the end of the day, I had a place to stay, a job, and a whole bunch of people supporting me. Oh, and get this… my job was working in a candle factory that used to be our church. Weird. Right? On top of all that, I had a built-in friend, Ella. Me and Ella went to school together, we sort of hung out at school, I guess. Anyway, The Village helped her and her brother, and she was living in the same building that I eventually moved into… we became best friends… more like brother and sister.
Fast forward to now. The Village helped me get into college, get scholarships and grants, and build a normal life. Now I was in my first year in Raleigh just like Ella, we lived in the same dorm and her brother and his husband became my defacto family. We were home for Thanksgiving, I had so many people I wanted to see while I was there. I had planned on spending time with all of them that weekend. Especially Seth, I had so much to talk to him about! He was my mentor and role model; I was following in his footsteps. I planned on being a psychologist just like him, he was even working on a getting me a summer internship at The Village. And then there were Max, Brody, they took me in and made me feel safe and loved when I felt the most alone in the world, I missed them so much. Oh, and I can’t forget all the kids! Like I said, there were a lot of people to see, but I had all weekend to visit. But It was Thanksgiving Day, and I was ready to eat.
Colton had been working his ass off to make everything perfect (and damn, that guy could cook)! The house smelled amazing! It was midafternoon when all the guys started showing up… Mason & Raj, Maverick & RayRay, Taylor & Noah (they’re all hot I might add), and some new villager, Hugo. I guess Che found Hugo living on the streets and brought him to Seth for help, now he was living at Harrington House and getting his shit together. Oh, in case you’re wondering, Che is another villager. I couldn’t stand the guy at first, honestly. Just when I started feeling safe at The Village, Che came along… he was a bully… I mean seriously, the guy made my life at The Village hell and I had no idea why. Seth stepped in and mediated, next thing I know we were friends. Che was going through his own shit, but he turned out to be an awesome guy. He’s a cop now. Him and his partner River went to Montana for Thanksgiving so they couldn’t join us, which sucked, I was really looking forward to seeing them… well, hopefully at Christmas.
The house was loud as everyone greeted each other, it seemed like forever, but we finally sat down to dinner. I’m sorry, but I had been living off peanut butter, ramen noodles, and shitty cafeteria food for the last four months and could not wait to eat. Colton went all out! The table looked beautiful, he brought out all the good China and silverware that they got for their wedding. I ended up sitting between Ella and Hugo… he was as starved as I was and it must’ve shown because about midway through dinner everyone was looking at us and snickering.
“So, I take it the food’s good” Colton said with a grin.
I looked up at him and the rest of the people staring at us and just asked, “What?” They all laughed.
“Damn dude, Y’all are movin’ those forks so fast there’s sparks comin’ from them plates” RayRay said, getting another collective laugh.
“I’m hungry, so sue me” Hugo said then went back to eating.
“Yeah, what he said” I added looking over at Hugo trying to get in on the joke. He just shot me a nasty look; he was unimpressed. He was interesting, he had this tough exterior, honestly, he was kind of a dick, but I’m guessing it was all an act and inside he was a sweet sensitive guy… kind of like Che. I’ll admit the guy was hot… I was totally into bad boys, especially “ethnic” guys (as my dad would say). Don’t ask me why! I’m a clean, quiet, white boy who’s not very experienced, but I have experimented more since I started college. Anyway… I recently to noticed that the guys that got me hot were a little thuggish, and um, let’s say a little darker too. Ella gave me a lot of shit about it, and was always pointing out thugs to me. I snuck a glance at Hugo, Ella totally caught me and kicked me under the table… she knew what I liked.
Dinner was awesome. Dessert was awesome! I ate so much freaking food that I had to open the button on my jeans. When the table was cleared, Colton made a vat of apple cider, and another vat of hot chocolate. We all filled our to-go cups and went out front for the lighting of the Christmas lights. Craig and Colton lived out on a dark, quiet country road. Seth and Zach lived across the street, and Brody and Max lived next door. Lighting up the dark road at Christmas had become a tradition, in fact, the local media, and some Christmas light maps online even featured them as must-see during Christmas, so the quiet road got busier around the holidays. Anyway, we piled into the beds of Maverick and RayRay’s pickups. I was wedged between Hugo and Ella. Ella shot me a shit eating grin… she knew Hugo was totally my type. The trucks pulled out into the road, and joined the other vehicles that were already out there; Zach’s, Brody’s, the BroMax truck, Max’s Camaro with the top down, and a couple of others all filled with friends and family. I heard Seth start the countdown from one of the trucks “Ten, Nine, Eight…” he shouted and everyone joined in. When we hit one, Christmas lights lit up the dark country road, then all the truck horns honked in appreciation of the spectacle and the kids (and adults) all cheered with excitement. Even Hugo had a smile on his tough face as we slowly drove down the country road taking it all in.
The vehicles moved slowly and pulled in and out of the driveways, there was so much to see and all of it awesome. I was so caught up in the Christmas magic that I have no idea how long Hugo’s hand was on my leg when I finally felt it. He just rested it there at first, then he squeezed my knee and moved up to my thigh. Oh my god!!! Hugo was totally feeling me up. I looked over at him, he was looking away at first, but eventually turned his head in my direction and our eyes met. He gave me a little up nod with his head and his hand squeezed my thigh. Hold crap, he was totally into me.
I wasn’t sure what to do. I mean, yeah, I was into him, but there were so many people around. Should I do something back? Should I pull away and just ignore it? I wasn’t sure where to go with this… But before my head decided, my leg pushed up against his (what can I say, I was horny). His face lit up brighter than all the lights around us. That was the first time I saw him smile… and damn… I was into him before, but now I was totally gone. His hand moved a little further up my thigh, and my knee pushed up harder against his. While everyone was ooing and ahing over the lights, I was softly moaning under Hugo’s touch. Ella was right next to me and had no clue.
The pickups drove up and down the road a few times, then we all ended up at BroMax Farm for Apple Cider and hot chocolate. Brody and Dylan had a huge bonfire burning out back. The kids were roasting marshmallows while the adults talked, I loved that moment… being with so many people who truly loved each other was so different than how I grew up. My parents were cold and strict, holidays were more somber than celebratory, kinda like obligations more than fun events to look forward to. But this? This was a celebration. A party. I was sitting by the fire talking to Seth, Hugo was sitting on the other side by himself, but he kept looking over at me, I couldn’t help but keep glancing back at him. Every time he caught me, he grinned.
“I’m so glad you’re home” Seth said. “I talked to Kevin; The Resort agreed to sponsor your internship next summer.”
Oh my god! That was like the best news ever!!! It meant I could move back home for the summer, get college credits, make a little money, and train with my mentor. My role model. “Are you flipping serious?!” I said.
“Yup. He confirmed yesterday, I really wanted to tell you while you were here.”
Oh my god! I couldn’t believe it. I jumped up and hugged Seth, “Thank you” I said over and over.
Max looked over at us, “so, you told him?” He said with a chuckle.
“Told him what?” Craig asked.
“The Resort said they’d sponsor me for a summer sponsorship with Seth at The Village” I said in what I thought was a quiet voice, but apparently I screamed it out in excitement. Everyone laughed and cheered for me. This was HUGE! Izzy came over to Seth to ask why everyone was cheering.
“Caleb gets to work with me next summer” Seth explained.
“Dat good. Daddy Zeff is nice, CaLeb” she said with a huge emphasis on the “L”, that was kind of our thing. When I met Izzy, she called me “Caywub” I taught her how to pronounce her “L’s” Zach still hasn’t forgiven me for that, he liked the name “Caywub.” So anyway, for the next several minutes everyone congratulated me, and I basked in the excitement.
When things calmed down, Hugo found me again. “Sounds like we should be celebrating” he said in a whisper, then he disappeared behind the barn. God, he was sexy, I heard him whisper “Psssst, follow me dipshit.” Well, how the hell could I pass that up. I followed his voice and ended up behind the new barn, as soon as I turned the corner, Hugo pulled me into a kiss, then pushed me up against the barn. Damn, he was so aggressive, and so powerful. His mouth covered mine as my arms wrapped around his neck, we were like really making out, his tongue was in my mouth and mine was in his… holy crap it was hot! I mean, I didn’t even really know this guy! He pushed his jean covered crotch against mine, I could feel he was big, and already hard. He had me pinned against the barn under his entire body. He was about my height, but bulkier… he had a lot more muscle and was having no problem overpowering me… and I was not complaining. Like I said, I wasn’t all that experienced, and for the most part the guys I’d been with were more submissive like me, but Hugo took control.
He grabbed my hand and put it down the front of his pants… I wrapped it around him, holy shit he was thick. His cock was warm, girthy, hard, and uncut. I couldn’t resist moving his slippery foreskin up and down. He reached down and unbuttoned his jeans to give me more room, then he undid mine to set me free. My manhood hit the cold Carolina air, but stayed hard and strong. “Damn you’re hard” he said into our ongoing kiss, “and Sexy as fuck, Papi.” His accent was slight, but sexy as hell. Things happened so fast! One minute I’m sitting by the bonfire, then Seth told me about the internship, then I am making out with a hot Latino thug behind the barn with my pants at my ankles. His hand was warm around my cock as he slowly stroked me. “Suck me” he said. I didn’t answer, I just kept making out with him, “C’mon, Papi” he begged quietly. I ignored the request and just kept doing what I was doing.
Hugo wasn’t going to take no for an answer. He put his hands on my shoulders and slowly pushed me to my knees until I was kneeling in front of his glorious, brown, uncut tool. He pressed it against my lips. He was pushing me out of my comfort zone, but again… I wasn’t complaining. I opened my mouth and tasted him, I could smell the clean sweat of his pubes, I inhaled deeply. I peeled his foreskin back, licked the salty tip, then exhaled and took his fat cock in my mouth. I had never sucked an uncut cock before, it felt different, strange, but an awesome kind of strange. His foreskin sheathed around the tip of my tongue as I took him deeper. I got him to my throat and started gagging, I pulled off, wiped my eyes, then went back to work. I moved my head up and down trying to take more of him in each time, but Hugo got impatient. He pushed my head down trying to get me to take the whole thing, I gagged, and the phlegm covered his cock. I fought his hands and pulled up for air.
“Jesus, you’re gonna flipping kill me” I said as I coughed and tears ran down my cheeks. Hugo just smiled down on me and then shoved his cock back down my throat and started fucking my face. He was rough. So much rougher than anything I had ever experienced, but like I keep saying, I wasn’t complaining. Just when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, he pulled out. He put his hands under my pits, pulled me up so we were face to face and we started making out again.
“I wanna fuck you, Papi” he whispered. Shit, that was a scary thought. He was a big boy! He slid down my body and then struggled to pully my pants over my shoes. I stepped out of them and he pulled my pants off and flipped me around so I was facing the barn, I braced myself against the wall. I was butt-nekkid behind the barn with the cold air whipping my ass. Suddenly there was a hot-tongue invasion. Oh my God! Hugo was rimming my hole and it was indescribable! The cold air, his warm tongue, my hard cock pushing against the wall of the barn… damn. After my hole was good and wet, Hugo stood up, dropped his pants to his ankles, spun me around so we were face-to-face again, kissed me and said, “put your arms around my neck.” I did as he asked. “Now jump up and wrap your legs around my waist. At first, I looked at him like he was nuts, but then I saw his mischievous grin, smiled, and did as he asked again.
I had my limbs wrapped around him when he reached down and lined his big chalupa up with my wet hole... then he pushed in. “Mother fu…” I started to scream when he pushed his tongue back into my mouth to shut me up. His hands had a tight grip on my ass cheeks as he pumped in and out of me. Oh my God, he was so big, hitting places I didn’t know existed. The more he pushed, the harder I squeezed my limbs around him and kissed him, then something weird happened. Well, maybe not weird, but, wild, and fucking hot… I shot my load in between us (five day’s worth by the way), covering our chests and abs with my cum. I flipping shot my load! Hands free! That had never happened to me before. Never!
“Holy shit” Hugo laughed as he continued to pump in and out of me. “You fucking came without even touching it. Fuck Papi, I’m good!” He was actually proud of himself. He pumped harder and faster until he was ready to cum, then he pulled out of me, pushed me off him, then pushed me to my knees… “swallow my load.” I did it. I couldn’t believe I did, but I did. I took his cock, fresh from my own ass, and swallowed his load. Every drop! Then, I cleaned his come and my own ass off his cock. You guys… I’m a vanilla guy, and was really inexperienced… this was massive for me. I never thought I could do something so rough and dirty… but I fucking loved it. I licked my way up his chest collecting my cum as I did. Our lips met again, this time he tasted my cum and ass… he devoured me. We made out a little longer, then put our clothes back on and went back to join the crowd.
Everyone was still sitting around the campfire, and no one seemed to miss us… well no one except for Ella. She saw me round the corner of the barn, and said “where were you I was looking for you!” Then she saw Hugo and her eyes almost popped outta her head. I put my finger to my lips to silence her before she said anything else to draw attention to us. She just shook her head in disbelief.
We hung out at BroMax Farm for about another hour then headed home. All the guests left, including Hugo who slipped me his number as he walked out the door and told me to call him sometime.
That night in Stella’s room, I told her all about my dirty, rough, sex with Hugo behind the barn. Her mouth was open and jaw dropped the whole time. “I know! Right?” Is all I could say in response. It was so unlike me.
I gotta admit, it felt good to be home.
