Luciano and Brendan were too caught up in their heated kiss to take notice of the group of five staring at them with their mouth's agape.

Josh snapped his fingers and said jokingly, “Shit. Guess I better look elsewhere for a date.”

Terry laughed and stated, “Aww.. I'll give you a sympathy fuck.”

Josh raised his eyebrows at Terry and smiled.

Wade laughed and said, “Yeah Josh, since your so broken up, I'd let YOU give ME a sympathy blow job.”

Josh gave Wade the finger and said, “I don't do chubby sex!”

Wade sneered at him and asserted himself, “The only thing chubby on me is my cock you dickhead!”

As they went back and forth with their banter, Noah and Chad were speechless.

Brendan, the same Brendan that had propositioned Chad, was here.... with Luciano.

Noah chuckled, “Chad, I think we may have jumped to conclusions last night. Luciano wasn't alone.”

Chad answered, “No kidding! I can't believe Brendan asked me... you know what, when he has a boyfriend. What do you make of that?”

Noah said, “Maybe Brendan picked him up last night? Did he tell you that he was coming here?”

Chad shook his head. “No.”

Chad and Noah held their breath as Luciano walked over and put a pot of water on the fire to heat up.

Brendan followed Luciano. His face lit up when he saw Noah and Chad. He said excitedly, “Chad! Noah! Wow it's so great to see you two again. Chad, you should have told me you were coming here!”

Chad smiled and said, “So you and Luciano are dating?”

Brendan said, “Yeah, sometimes.”

Luciano stood up from the fire and said to Brendan, “You know these two?”

Brendan said, “Yeah, they came into the gas station last night.”

Noah smiled, recalling the previous night in the tent and how turned on he was thinking it was just Luciano beating off. Now that he knew it was the two of them together, he felt even more turned on. He stood behind Chad, purposely, to hide his semi hard erection.

Luciano introduced Brendan to the group.

After the coffee had been made, Wade, Josh and Terry said they were going to see if their other acquaintances were around. They left, promising to meet up for lunch later.

Luciano asked Chad and Noah if either of them would like sugar for the coffee.

Noah said, “No thanks.”

Chad said, “I would.”

Luciano got up and started to walk back to his tent. Noah watched his tight ass sway as he walked away.

Brendan spied Noah checking Luciano out and turned around to watch him walk as well.

Brendan turned back around and chuckled while he said, “He's a great piece off ass. Don't you think Noah?”

Chad looked quizzically at Noah and waited for his reply.

Noah smiled at Chad and said. “I wouldn't know. I have a nice piece right here.” Noah placed his arm around Chad's shoulders and kissed him.

“Yeah, he's a nice piece too!” Brendan said about Chad.

They heard Luciano yell out, “Bren where is the sugar?”

Brendan strode over to the tent and said, “I thought I grabbed some. Here let me look.”

Luciano walked back over to Noah and Chad. He took a seat on a log and asked Chad, “Are you two dating or...”

Chad answered, “Yes, for almost a year now. You guys?”

“Well like Brendan said, sometimes. We hook up between boyfriends. Currently neither of us is in a relationship so he was my booty call for this trip.”

Noah cleared his throat and looked at Luciano's face. He had very nice features, but what stood out were his lips and his eyes.

Brendan walked back over with the sugar packets and gave a few to Chad. He stated, “You must play sports. Your arms are really muscular.”

Chad looked up and replied, “Yeah, basketball. I'm the captain.”

Brendan sat down next to Luciano.

Luciano stated, “Bren, they've been together a year. Do you believe that?”

Brendan smiled. “A year huh? That's a long time.” He exchanged looks between Chad and Noah, then addressed Chad, “Did you tell Noah about what I asked you last night?”

Chad turned red and said, “Of course! We don't hide anything from each other.”

Brendan looked Noah in the eye and asked, “What did you say?”

Noah licked his lips and stared at Luciano. “Umm.. I haven't given it much thought. I assumed it was a joke.”

Luciano turned and looked at Brendan, then asked, “What did you ask him?”

Brendan turned and whispered in his ear. Luciano moved his head away and looked at Chad, then at Noah.

Luciano whispered back as he shook his head.

Brendan grinned and French kissed his mouth.

Chad and Noah were transfixed on their lip-lock. Brendan, or Bren as Luciano called him, groped and felt Luciano up.

Chad grabbed Noah's hand and squeezed it hard. Noah squeezed back.


Brendan stopped and locked eyes with Chad. He smiled impishly at him. Then stated he and Luciano were going to walk to the lake and test the water to see how cold it was. They stood up and left.

Noah and Chad watched them leave. Chad picked up a long stick and stoked the fire. He glanced at Noah then stared into the fire. Noah leaned over and snuggled up to Chad's neck. He breathed hot air on Chad's neck and jokingly, “I think Brendan likes you.”

Chad looked into Noah's smoldering eyes and replied, “I got that vibe too.”

Noah stated, “I think it's sort of arousing. He obviously wants you. What about you? Were you aroused?”

Chad smiled and kissed Noah briefly on the mouth. “I guess so. I thought it was hot the way they were kissing and touching each other in front of us.”

Noah smiled and said in a low throaty voice, “I know. We've never witnessed any other couple so blatantly sexual in our face like that before.”

Chad asked, “What do we do if Brendan asks us again about watching us?”

Noah bit on Chad's earlobe and whispered, “I think I'd rather watch them. Is that wrong?”

Chad chuckled and said, “I don't think so. I feel the same way. It's okay as long as we both feel the same way about it, Right? God, all this talk about them this is giving me a major hard on. Come in the tent with me. There's no one around right now.”

Noah took Chad's hand and led him into the tent. He didn't use the gag. Instead he turned on the battery operated radio that Chad brought, besides almost everyone else was taking nature hikes or down by the lake.

Noah came at Chad from behind, biting his back and grasping Chad's hips hard.

Chad groaned loudly, “NOA.. UHHH! Harder, stud! Faster! Noah pounded into him as hard as he could. Chad came forcefully on the sleeping bag. Noah collapsed on top of Chad's back. He was still inside him when he nipped at Chad's shoulder.

Chad yelled, “Shit Noah that hurts! Why do you do that?”

Noah chucked as he said in Chad's ear, “Because you taste so good.”

Chad waited patiently for Noah to roll off him, but Noah was busy licking and sucking on his back.

Chad said in a breathy voice, “N..Noah, can you get off now? I'm suffocating.”

Noah grinned and commenced tickling the sides of Chad's waist. Chad bucked and cried out while he laughed, “You... bas..tard!” He tried to get on his back or on his knees to throw Noah off.

Noah sat up. While straddling Chad's ass, he pinned him down. He tickled him under his arms and laughed when Chad finally pushed him off.

Chad jumped on top of Noah and bit his nipple hard. Noah moaned and said, “Ohh, don't stop. That feels good!”

Chad smiled and said in a sexy raspy voice, “It wasn't supposed to. You bite me that hard Noah.”

“Hey you two,” Brendan called out with a smile in his voice. “Quit the biting and come out here.”

Noah and Chad blushed and giggled. Noah quickly dressed. Chad cleaned up the mess on the sleeping bag and on his stomach, then threw a shirt and shorts on. They walked out out of the tent hand in hand.

Noah said, “What's up? How's the water?”

Luciano smiled at Chad and said, “It's perfect, but we were wondering if you'd want to go on a hike with us.”

Chad looked at Noah. Noah shrugged and said, “Sure.”

They found a footpath in the woods behind their tents. Noah and Chad followed behind Brendan and Luciano. They were side by side, holding each other around the waist.

An hour later they were deep within the woods. The path had become narrow and they had to walk in single file. Brendan, Chad, then Luciano.

Noah trailed behind watching Luciano's ass and broad shoulder's.

Brendan stopped and said, “Shhh... look.” He pointed off to the side.

Chad whispered, “I don't see anything. Where?”

Brendan stood behind Chad and held onto his shoulder's. He placed his head near Chad's ear and whispered, “Right over there sweetness. See the fawn?”

Luciano looked and saw it right away.

Noah was watching Chad's mouth. He had licked it several times as Brendan massaged his shoulder's.

Noah took a peek at Luciano. He was immersed in watching Chad also with a sly grin on his face.

Chad nodded when he saw the fawn and swallowed hard. Brendan's breath felt moist on his neck. He stepped away and walked to Noah's side. He smiled shyly and whispered, “Sorry, I didn't know he was going to grab me like that.”

Noah said, “It's ok.” and grabbed him around the waist and kissed him. Noah opened his eyes while deep into the kiss with Chad and observed Brendan holding Luciano up against a tree.

Brendan placed one leg between Luciano's legs. Luciano rubbed up against it and moaned as he tossed his head back. Brendan went for his neck, leaving a purple mark. Luciano groaned loudly, “Ohh..Bren. What you do to me!”

Noah watched Luciano's expressions change. He was gorgeous.. just like Josh said.

Luciano suddenly looked over at Noah and Chad. He caught Noah's eye for a second before turning back to Brendan.

Noah closed his eyes and plunged his tongue into Chad's mouth. Watching Brendan and Luciano make out and fondle each other was affecting his body in ways he had never felt before. He decided to turn away from them and let Chad take a peek.

Noah said, “Trade places with me, you have to check this out.” They made a 180.

Chad stopped kissing Noah and just stared. Brendan and Luciano had taken off each others shirts and were going hot and heavy.

Chad said, “If we keep hanging out with them, I'm gonna have a continual hard on.”

Noah giggled, “I know, but it's so hot.”

Chad said, “Come on, let's head back. We told the guys we'd meet them for lunch.”


Noah tuned around and noticed Brendan and Luciano had begun to work on each other's waistbands.

Noah said aloud, “Um. I think we're going to head back for lunch.”

Brendan, turned to face them and said, “What, you don't want to watch?”

Noah's mouth dropped wide open.

Chad said, “Ahhh.. Ummm.” He quickly faced Noah and grabbed his hand.

Luciano started to laugh. “Look at their faces Bren! Total confusion! I don't think they're into watching.” Luciano addressed them and asked, “So Chad, what are you guys into?”

Chad smiled and said, “Kinky sex.”

Noah poked him in the ribs and said, “Shhh!”

Brendan chuckled, “Ooh.. we met a bunch of perverts like us!”

Noah pressed his lips together, then said, “We don't, that is we aren't really like you two.”

Luciano narrowed his eyes at Noah and said rudely, “Just what does THAT mean?”

Noah cleared his throat and replied, “We're not perverts. We use some restraint in public areas. You two aren't shy to be amorous in front of other people.”

Brendan laughed and told Luciano to calm down. He said, “So I guess my proposal is out of the question huh?”

Chad said with uncertainty, “I.. umm.. I guess so.”

Noah spoke in Chad's ear. “Don't rule it out yet hot shot.”

Chad whispered, “You're sure?”

Noah said, “Mmm-hmm. You?”

Chad replied, “Anything for you stud.”

Noah looked at Brendan and spoke up. “We'll think about it ok?”

Brendan grinned, “Ok. We'll see you later. I think we're staying here, right Luciano?”

Luciano grinned up at him and said, “You better finish what you've started, but lets get off this footpath first.”

Noah and Chad watched them walk out of sight into the woods. They heard moaning then a sharp grunt and more moaning.

Noah said, “Holy shit Chad! What's going on here? I feel like I'm in a porn movie or something!”

They began walking back to the camp as Chad chuckled and stated, “I know! This has got to be the best camping trip I've ever been on!”

Noah swatted his ass and laughed. “So are we really serious about this Chad, cuz you know I wouldn't do anything to jeopardize our relationship if you're not into what they're suggesting.”

Chad bit his lip and said, “You mean watching? Uh-Uh. I don't mind. Who do you think is the top? I'll make a bet with you.”

Noah snickered, “Another bet? Um.. I think Brendan. He seems in control of the situation. How were you doing with him standing so close to you?”

Chad said, “Truthfully I was dying. He smells really good, but not as good as you.” Chad stopped and turned around to face Noah.

Chad overemphasized the statement, “Whatever happens here... needs to stay here, okay?”

Noah nodded, “Totally! As long as we go home together. They live all the way up here. There's a very slim chance that we'd ever see them again.”

<><><><><><>

They made burgers on Noah's little grill. The rest of their friends came over and grilled their own food.

Terry asked, “We came back to get you. Where were you guys?”

Wade teased, “They were probably looking for wood!”

Noah smiled and said, “Actually we went for a walk and saw a fawn. What did you guys do?” He took a bite of his burger and looked at Josh.

Josh said, while staring at the side of Terry's face, “I wasn't with them, I met some guys that go to school here.”

Chad raised his eyebrows and said, “Oh really? Why doesn't that surprise me?”

Wade chuckled and said, “Because he'll sleep with anything with a dick!”

Josh declared, “Shut up you guys! I have standards.”

Terry giggled and said, “Just one.. the guy has to be breathing!”

Josh stared at Terry and said, “There's a certain type of guy I'm attracted to.”

Wade said, “Oh yeah? What's that, anyone over 18!”

Josh shot Terry and Wade a nasty look and said, “See you fuckers later.” he stood up and left angrily.

Chad ran up to him to try and get him to come back.

Noah said, “You guys are harsh. He picks up good looking, intelligent, fun guys... not just anyone. ”

Wade chuckled and said, “We're just shitting him. He seems to want to hook up so bad.”

Noah blushed and said, “So? What's the problem with that?”

Terry jumped in the conversation and said, “Nothing I guess, but he's too promiscuous.”

Noah said, “Well he's still our friend and I don't judge him for how many lovers he's had.”

Wade and Terry looked up as Luciano and Brendan came out of the woods without their shirts on.

Wade said, “How old do you think that guy is.. Brendan I mean.”

Noah answered, “I don't know, ask him. He's coming over here.”

Wade stood up and said addressed Brendan, “You and Luciano went for a walk too?”

Brendan smiled and said, “Yes. Didn't Noah and Chad say the four of us went together? Luciano and I were becoming one with nature, so they came back early.”

Brendan winked at Noah, which wasn't lost on Wade and Terry. They stared at Noah until Noah faced them, red with embarrassment.

Luciano walked over and asked if Noah wouldn't mind if they threw a couple of brats on his grill, as long as he had it going.

Noah stared at the light brown haired guy's luscious full lips when he spoke. He stared at his chest hair, then moved his gaze downward, to the trail of hair that plunged down into his tight jean shorts.

Brendan laughed when he noticed Noah's longing look for Luciano. It brought Noah out from under Luciano's hold over him.

Noah sputtered, “Yeah sure, go ahead.”

Luciano shook his head and put the brats on the grill as he reflected on Noah's stare, 'Damn! Don't tell me that this rude, outspoken guy has a crush on me! He's attractive, but he's lacking a personality. I wish it was Chad who was looking at me like that, at least he's polite and adorable, but I think Bren is showing an interest in him.'

Luciano walked up to Chad and Josh.

Josh said, “Bye Chad. Tell Terry I'm not going to sleep in the tent with him tonight. I found somewhere else to sleep or not to sleep, I should say.”

Luciano walked up to Chad and faced him. He smiled and said, “Hi Chad. I just wanted to say that if we embarrassed you in the woods today earlier...”

Chad interrupted and said, “Oh no. You guys didn't.”

Luciano reached up and gently brushed Chad's cheek with his thumb. He said, “You have some.. something on your cheek.” Luciano stared with a sultry look into his eyes and bit his lower lip.

Chad smiled politely and said, “Thanks.” and walked back to Noah.

He whispered, “Luciano just hit on me. The way he was looking at me gave me an unmistakable sign.”

Noah smiled, “Really? So if they ask you to join them.. will you?”

Chad chuckled and said, “No! Only if you do too! Besides I find Brendan more attractive.”

Noah whispered back, “No, I beg to differ. Have you seen Luciano's lips! They're kissable. Umm, just like yours.”

Chad laughed. He said in Noah's ear, “It's okay Noah, you don't have to give me a compliment after noticing something you like about another guy.”

They turned back to the conversation around the small fire. Wade was asking Brendan how old he was.

“I'm 28. Yeah I know. I work for my parents,” He stared at Chad. “but I have my own bachelor pad.”

Brendan walked over to Chad and sat down next to him. Chad quickly looked at Noah. Noah smirked and nudged him over to Brendan.

Wade stared at Noah suspiciously and thought, 'What the hell is Noah doing?'

Terry witnessed the nudge and got up. Wade followed him. Noah quickly got up and caught up with both of them.

Noah asked innocently, “Where are you two going?”


Terry answered. “Seems to me you'd rather hang out with you're 'new' friends.” He smiled and started to walk away.

Terry turned his head over his shoulder and said loudly, “I'm going to change and go for a swim. Coming Wade?”

Wade said, “Give me a minute. I want to talk to Noah.”

Wade turned to Noah and placed his hands on his hips. He glanced back at Chad, who was now seated between Brendan and Luciano.

Wade glared at Noah and complained, “What's going on with the four of you?”

Noah spoke evenly, “Nothing, why?”

Wade said between clenched teeth, “Don't lie to me Noah. Chad is sandwiched between those two and you all went into the woods together. What happened in there?”

Noah rose his voice and said, “Nothing Wade!”

Wade sighed and touched Noah's shirt. “It's just that you know how I feel about you and I don't mind you dating Chad because he's my friend, but if you and one of those guys get together... I don't know. You always turned down my advances before, what makes them different?”

Noah said, “I do know how you feel about me Wade, but you and I are friends. I don't see us as anything more than that. Brendan and Luciano are cool, we're just hanging around them. Wait for me and Chad, we'll go swimming with you and Terry.”


Wade went to change while Noah walked back to the three men sitting together. Brendan had his hand on Chad's thigh and Luciano had his arm wrapped around his waist.

Noah coughed and said, “Ahem. Chad, can I see you for a minute?”

Chad stood up and walked over to Noah standing by their tent.

Brendan and Luciano snuggled up together and kissed, whispered and giggled.

Chad smiled at Noah and said, “I thought this was okay with you?”

Noah smiled and kissed his lips. “It is as long as I'm around. Don't go sneaking around on me.”

Chad said, “Never. So what is it?”

“Our other friends are feeling neglected. I told them we'd go swimming with them. Let's get our suits on.”

Noah and Chad changed, then walked out of the tent receiving wolf whistles and applause from Brendan and Luciano.

Noah and Chad laughed and grabbed their towels. Noah asked, “Do you guys mind watching the fire pit?”

Brendan said, “We'll put it out if we decide to come down later. Have fun.”

<><><><><><>

Noah, Chad, Terry and Wade walked into the cool lake water. Terry brought a Nerf football to toss around. The four of them passed it around for a while before Noah and Chad decided to swim out further to talk.

Noah stopped and began to tread water. He turned around to look for Chad, but didn't see him.

'I thought Chad was right behind...' Noah moaned, “OHHH.” as his swimming trunks were ripped down and someone had begun sucking on his cock.

Noah reached down and pulled Chad up. He kissed him deeply in his open mouth and groaned.

Noah whispered, “Sorry hot shot.”

Chad cocked his head in question and started to say, “For wha..” when Noah dunked him.

Chad's mouth covered his cock again and sucked him. Soon Chad had to come up for air, then went under again.

Wade and Terry made their way out to Noah. Wade asked, “I thought I saw Chad out here with you. Where..”

Chad resurfaced and smiled at Wade and Terry. He giggled as he said, “Excuse me. I uncovered some hidden treasure.” then he went under again.

Wade and Terry laughed and swam away as Noah slipped under the water to muffle his moans as he came in Chad's mouth.

They both surfaced gasping and giggling. Noah looked around and said, “Hey, what did you, Brendan and Luciano talk about while I was talking to Wade?”

Chad smirked and said, “Nothing much. They were just wondering if we decided about the two of them. I think they're thinking we're going to join in.”

Noah said, “Oh. Um.. really? They want to watch US too?”

Chad shook his head, “No.. I mean switch partners Noah!”

Noah said, “Oh! Wow. I wouldn't mind making out with either one of them, but having sex? I don't know Chad.”

Chad wrapped his arms and legs around Noah's body. Noah held him around the waist keeping his head above the water.

Chad kissed Noah's wet face and whispered in his ear. “We don't have to go all the way. We can tell them we'll do some heavy petting.”

Noah's heart pounded. “Okay, but if you want to go further, we need a signal or a word.”

Chad said, “If we want to go further why do we need a signal? Shouldn't we just agree now if we would or not?”

Noah nodded and reached into Chad's trunks and squeezed his ass. “Who would you do it with?”

Chad looked into his eyes. “I don't know. I love being with you stud. Although I'd love to watch you with one of them.”

Noah raised his eyebrows and said, “Really?” He smirked at Chad.

Chad kissed Noah's chest and shoulder's as Noah moved his hand around to Chad's cock. Chad groaned as Noah jacked him off in the water.

After Chad came, they swam over to Terry and Wade and talked until their stomach's growled.

They all walked back to camp, changed, and made supper. Brendan and Luciano were nowhere to be seen, neither was Josh.

When they finished eating, Wade and Terry decided to play cards in Wade's tent. They borrowed Chad's lantern and headed into the tent.

Noah and Chad took the blanket that Josh left behind and walked to the group campfire. They spread the blanket out and sat down. Noah sat down between Chad's legs and rested his head back onto his chest. Chad kissed his neck and said, “I guess we don't have to worry about Brendan and Luciano tonight. They're gone.”

Noah smiled and teased, “You sound disappointed.” he rubbed Chad's thigh.

Chad laughed, “Not at all. You can show me what else is in your bag of tricks.”

Noah chuckled in Chad's ear. “Mmm.. I have a `special' surprise that I'm saving for you.”

Chad massaged Noah's shoulders and arms as they chatted and laughed with the men around them.

<><><><><><>

After a while, Chad said, “Do you want to go play cards with Wade and Terry?”

Noah turned around to face Chad. A smile spread across his face when he saw Brendan and Luciano walk up to them.

Noah said, “Hey guys. We were just going to the tent to play cards. Should we deal you in?”

Brendan crouched down and leaned into Chad. He whispered in his ear. “No, Luciano and I are going swimming since everyone is here at the fire. Do you and Noah want to come with us?” Brendan touched the back of Chad's head, then ran his fingers through Chad's hair.

Chad said, “Noah? What do you think?” then moaned as Brendan gently tugged on his blond hair.

Noah watched Brendan's hand play in Chad's hair.

Noah moved in to kiss Chad's open mouth. He kissed him deeply.

Chad moaned into Noah's mouth as his hand stroked Chad's thigh.

Brendan whispered into Noah's ear, “Put your hand on his crotch Noah. Make him hard.”

Noah looked at Brendan, then Luciano who was also watching. Noah looked into Chad's eyes.

Chad looked a little self-conscious. Noah kissed him and murmured on his lips, “Don't worry.”

Noah sat back and said, “Brendan, I think we'll just head up and play cards with Wade and Terry.”

Luciano begged, “Come on lets just go swimming. Nothing weird, I promise. Brendan?”

Brendan stood up and said, “Sorry, I can't promise that.” He laughed, then added, “Come if you want to, if not, we'll see you tomorrow morning.” They went hand in hand towards the lake.

Noah and Chad walked to their tent. “Noah? I'm sorry I chickened out, but there were too many people around. I got embarrassed .”

Noah smiled at him and pulled his waist close. “No problem. There WERE a lot of people and I didn't like him telling me what to do to you.”

Chad said, “Well, lets go swimming anyway. We can stick with each other. I don't know about the other stuff anymore. It was more exciting to talk about than it is having it right in your face.”

Noah said, “You're right. Lets get our suits on and go swimming anyway. We should get everything straightened out and tell them we're not into having someone watch.”

Chad stated, “But we could watch, couldn't we?”

Noah snickered and said, “I wouldn't mind that.”

Chad ran to the tent yelling to Noah, “Come on, lets get our suits on!”

<><><><><><>

They both walked down the sandy, rocky beach in the moonlight until they saw two bobbing heads in the water near a floating platform. The light from the moon flickered on the glass-like surface of the water.

Brenden and Luciano waved.

Noah and Chad walked down the pier and dove off the end. They swam to the platform and hung onto the side.

Luciano swam up to Chad and said, “We weren't sure you were going to come, but we're glad to see you.”

Chad mumbled, “Yeah, about that. Noah and I don't think we're up to.. umm...”

Noah finished his sentence, “We're kinda private in the bedroom and having sex in front of anyone is too weird for us.”

Brendan smiled and said, “That's okay.” He faced Luciano and said, “Race ya to the pier and back. GO!” He took off before Luciano knew what was happening.

Luciano muttered, “Oh shit.” and started swimming. He soon caught up to Brendan. He touched the pier and swam back to the platform. He held on to it as he breathed hard waiting for Brendan.

Noah stared at Luciano. `He is beautiful! His gasping, heaving chest is turning me on! His hair plastered on his forehead and down the back of his neck. I can hardly breath.' Noah stared at the glint in Luciano's ear from his diamond earring.

Luciano caught Noah staring at him. In turn, Noah smiled at him.

Luciano couldn't hold his smile in. Noah had a really nice genuine smile, that would have almost made up for his personality, but he was still put off by the comments he made the day before about his name.

Luciano gazed at Chad. Chad was more his type, athletic, personable, and good looking, but Brendan had already told him `hands off Chad'.

Brendan's head popped up between Chad and Luciano. He grabbed Luciano and kissed him passionately within three feet of Chad. He licked Luciano's lips and bit on his lower lip, tugging at it with his teeth, then letting go. He turned around and smiled devilishly at Noah and Chad to make sure they were watching, which they were.. intensely.

Brendan faced Luciano again and enclosed his lips over Luciano's. Brendan tilted his head to the side and kissed Luciano deeply.

Chad and Noah just stared, then looked away almost in embarrassment, almost.

Brendan raised Luciano out of the water and kissed his chest and lowered him. He fell forward on top of Luciano and they disappeared under the water.

Chad and Noah's eyes met. Chad swam over to him and said, “Noah, I don't know what the hell to think. This is turning me on, but this is wrong right? We shouldn't be watching this.”

Noah wrapped his hands around Chad's neck and kissed him on the tip of his nose. He countered, “Chad we aren't DOING anything. So what if it arouses us. We've never been around guys like this... what do you expect?”

Chad was kissing Noah when Brendan and Luciano popped up near them.

Brendan swam closer to them and said, “You two turn us on.”

Chad and Noah broke apart and looked at Brendan. He was staring intently at Chad.

Noah said, “Like we said, we're not into the public stuff, Brendan.”

Brendan smiled lustily and whispered, “But you can kiss for us..” Brendan moved closer and softly kissed Noah on the cheek. “can't you?”

Noah felt his heart bursting at the seams when he heard Chad's sharp intake of air. Chad murmured, “Oh Yeah.” He pulled Noah to his body and kissed his mouth.

“You two come closer to the platform.” Brendan insisted, then smiled.

Noah and Chad swam closer and engaged in a heated urgent kiss while grabbing each other's cocks under the water.

Noah whispered to Chad, “At least they can't see under the water. This is really exciting and exotic.”

Chad smiled and nodded. “I know! I don't care if they hear us, as long as they don't see what we're doing. This worked out well.” He kissed Noah harder as he jacked him.

Noah moaned, while Chad was more vocal. He yelled, “Ohhh, Noahhhh. Sh...IT! AUHHH!”

Brendan crawled up the ladder of the platform and laid next to Luciano. They watched the two guy's jacking each other in the water. Brendan caressed Luciano's ass as he watched Chad cum.

Brendan whispered to Luciano, “On your knees.”

Luciano complied and felt Brendan enter gently then thrust hard. He grunted as Brendan went all the way in.

Luciano and Brendan were watching Noah and Chad. They listened to Noah's moaning.

Chad was jacking him hard as he gnawed on Noah's shoulder's. Noah moaned louder, forgetting where he was for the moment. For all he knew, he was in heaven with Chad. He groaned, but not as loudly as Chad, “Uhh..Mmm.. UHHH.. UHHHH.. UUUH!”

Noah was somewhat embarrassed about cumming in front of someone other than his boyfriend, but it made him cum so much more intensely.

Chad and Noah heard a low groan coming from the platform. They turned and saw Brendan and Luciano on the platform.

Brendan and Luciano were staring at Noah and Chad with raw carnal desire in their eyes. Brendan was behind Luciano thrusting his hips.

Chad couldn't stop watching. He whispered, “What do we do?”

Noah had locked eyes with Luciano and muttered, “Umm.. watch I guess.”

Luciano said and grunted, “UH.. come here.. OHH.. UH!”

Warily, Chad and Noah swam even closer to the platform until they were at the side holding on.

Luciano was on his hands and knees, rocking back and forth. He leaned down onto his forearms. He moved his head as low as he could and stared at Chad. He grunted, “Ch.. UH... Chad.. Kiss... OH..Me.. UH!”

Chad looked at Noah. Noah nodded. Chad placed the palms of his hands on the platform and pushed himself halfway out of the water. He kissed Luciano sweetly on the mouth and started to move back down into the water.

Luciano chuckled and said, “Th..UH! FUCK Bren! Not SO hard!” He looked back at Chad in the water and caught his breath. He asked, “That's.. MMMM.. all.. OHH... I get, Chad?”

Chad smiled and shrugged his shoulder's. He stated, “Noah's a better kisser than I am.”

Luciano really didn't want to kiss Noah at all, but he didn't want to hurt his feelings either. He began thinking, 'Okay, Noah is attractive, he has a nice smile that makes me smile, he has a nice body. I guess he isn't all that bad, except his disposition. I'll just close my eyes.'

Luciano said breathlessly said, “O..OHHHH.. OKAY NOA.. AHHH! GOD DAMN BREN! Right... UHHH.. there!”

Brendan warned Luciano, “I.. I'm AHHH going... MMMM... to cum soon!”

Noah pulled himself up so his upper body was holding him up on the platform. 'Why am I so nervous to kiss Luciano? Why am I holding my breath? Breathe! God he's even better looking up close while he's getting screwed. His eyes have a faraway dreamy look and he's practically panting on my face! Here goes.'

Noah came close to Luciano's lips. Noah noticed unfortunately, that Luciano had closed his eyes. Noah came close and breathed on his cold, wet lips warming them before licking them with the tip of his tongue. An almost silent sigh escaped Luciano's mouth. He opened his eyes and stared intently into Noah's eyes.

Noah noticed a look of confusion cross Luciano's face then disappear. He stared at Luciano's face. It seemed all aglow in the moonlight and his eyes had an impassioned look in them. Noah was about to kiss him again when suddenly, Luciano's body was being jolted back and forth forcefully as Brendan came. Luciano still held Noah's gaze as he opened his mouth and let a moan escape.

Luciano stared at Noah's face as he came. He came hard... harder than he had ever came before. He let out a louder moan. It echoed across the water before Brendan covered Luciano's mouth with his hand and giggled, “Shhh.. What do I always tell you? Bite your palm or your arm... or put SOMETHING in your big mouth!”

Luciano's muffled moans tore into Noah's insides, mostly below the waist. Without warning, Chad grabbed the back of Noah's shoulders to hang onto him, but in the process scared Noah. He had forgotten about Chad the minute his tongue touched Luke's soft, luscious lips.

Chad whispered, “Damn that's hot watching those two! I could cum again just watching them!”

Noah turned around and chuckled. “Want to?”

Chad stated, “Not here, in the tent.”

Noah smiled and kissed Chad.

Luciano groaned, crawled to the edge of the platform, and slid into the water.

Brendan dove off and swam near Luciano. He said to Noah and Chad, “What did you think? Was that way too kinky for you Noah? No wait, you said you weren't perverted like us, but you stayed. So?” Brendan smirked.

Chad said, “It was..” Noah finished, “hot, but I don't think Chad and I could.. you know, perform for you two.”

Brendan said, “That's okay. We got off watching you kissing and imagining the underwater sports. Right sweetie?” He looked at Luciano, but Luciano's eyes were transfixed on Noah as he wondered, 'What was that he did to me? He only breathed on my mouth and barely licked my lips... but his breath was so sweet and warm. Why did THAT make me cum? Who the hell has sweet breath? He must have eaten something sweet. Why do I feel this... this hunger to taste his arrogant mouth?'

Everyone was staring at Luciano, waiting for his answer. He guessed, “Umm, Right?”

Brendan kissed him on the mouth and commented on his faraway look. “You look a million miles away, and you're shivering. Lets go get you dressed and warm you up.”

Chad and Noah also began to shiver. They followed the guys and stopped when they saw the delicious view come out of the water.

Noah just stared and sighed at Luciano's ass. It was perfect. His whole body was perfect. Noah shook his head and grabbed Chad's hand. Chad gasped when Brendan turned around and gave them a full frontal view.

“Oh my God Noah!” Chad gushed.

Noah snickered. “Yeah, oh my God is right. That had to hurt!”

Brendan snickered.

Luciano walked up to Noah and stated, “It doesn't if you know what to do with it!” 'God Noah is annoying! How could I have wanted to kiss him.. not more than a minute ago!'

Noah gulped and stared down at Luke's naked form. He apologized and said in a low voice, “I meant that.. the way he was... when you yelled...”

Luciano yelled, “You're offended? Why are you even here?”

Noah looked puzzled and couldn't tear his eyes away from Luciano's hard looking abdomen. Out of the corner of his eye he noticed something glisten lower, but was afraid to look. “No! I'm not offended. I.. I.. heard you say...”

Luciano grabbed Noah's chin roughly and pulled it up. He said rudely, “If you're talking to me, my face is up here! If you're planning on giving me a blow job your looking in the right direction, but somehow I highly doubt that's what's on your mind!”

Noah pulled his head out of Luciano's grasp. He said with dismay, “I only meant that.. shit.. you told Brendan that it hurt. So I assumed that the size had something to do with it.”

Luciano whispered, “Oh.” and turned around embarrassed.

Luciano saw Brendan and Chad making out and smiled. 'Bren is SO going to sleep with him. Chad can't keep his eyes off him. I wonder what Noah thinks about that?' He found his clothes and put them on and sat next to Noah in the grass.

Noah looked out to the still water wondering why Luciano was so cross with him every time they talked.

Luciano glanced back over at Brendan and Chad necking. Brendan could be a little forceful at times, but it looked like Chad didn't mind being crushed up against He whispered to Noah, “Sorry I went crazy before. I thought you were insulting him, or me, or both of us.”

Noah nodded and looked away. He said, “I didn't mean to come off that way.”

Luciano whispered again to him. “You seem tense about them kissing. You two really HAVEN'T been with other people while you've been together.”

Noah shook his head and said softly, “No, I'm perfectly fine with it, but I am tense.”

Noah thought, 'Tense about you sitting so close to me and I can't touch you because I don't feel like you want me to.'

Luciano said, “Do you want me to go over there and stop Bren?”

Noah chuckled and said, “No... Chad and I have an agreement or arrangement.”

Luciano's interest was piqued, “Tell me.”

Noah faced Luciano and said, “What happens here, stays here and we don't sneak around behind each other's back without permission.”

Luciano laughed and replied, “Just like Vegas huh?”

Noah smiled and said, “Kinda.”

“So if Brendan or I want to take Chad to the tent for a little fun, he needs to ask you? Isn't that a little too controlling? I mean, he is an adult and he can make his own decisions, right?”

Noah huffed and insisted, “It's something we BOTH agreed on. Yeah, he could go screw whoever he wants anytime he wants, but he doesn't. We're in a relationship .While we're here, we both want to know who's doing what with who.”

Luciano looked at Noah's face skeptically and said, “Okay, I want to screw him. Do I go ask him or you?”

Noah's heart fluttered and his face turned red. He said quietly, “I'm not sure. I.. we... I think you ask him, then he and I will talk about it.”

“Well I'm telling you now. So go talk to him.”

Noah got up and went to Chad. He tapped him on the shoulder and said, “We should go.”

Brendan grabbed Noah and said, “I never got a kiss from you. May I?”

Chad walked away when Noah said, “Umm.”

Chad sat next to Luciano and said, “Hey.”

Luciano said, “Hey back at ya. How's it going?”

Chad nodded and said, “Good!”

Luciano reached out and cupped the side of Chad's face. He drew him near and kissed his lips. He threw his leg over Chad's crossed legs and pushed him back onto the grass, then crawled on top of him. Luciano asked, “Is this alright?”

Chad quickly nodded.

Luciano kissed Chad's neck and jawline, then made his way to his ear. He whispered, “I asked your boyfriend if I could hook up with you.”

Chad looked like a deer caught in the headlights of a Mack truck. He stuttered, “Y.. You didn't.”

Luciano nodded and said, “Yes I did. He was telling me about your little agreement and I wanted to see what he would say. Of course he said I have to ask you.”

Chad asked, “Are you asking.. or what?”

Luciano smiled and said, “Not yet.” He leaned over Chad's face.

Noah and Brendan walked over to Chad and Luciano. They sat down in the grass nearby.

Luciano continued his descent on Chad's lips and kissed him. He easily pried open Chad's mouth and entered the moist cavern with his tongue. They kissed for a little while as Brendan watched.

Noah stared at the moon's reflection on the lake.

Luciano and Chad broke apart. They both sat up and smiled at each other.

Luciano said, “That was nice Chad. So, what do you think?”

Noah looked between Luciano and Chad and said, “Think about what?”

Chad said, “Uh, nothing.”

Luciano laughed.

Chad asked Noah, “Did you and Luciano kiss?”

Noah blushed and said, “We didn't get a chance to.”

Brendan chuckled, “There's no time like the present.” He faced Luciano and stated, “He's a good kisser sweetie.”

Luciano stood up and said, “Actually, I'm tired. Let's go to bed.”

Brendan said, “Okay, Goodnight Chad.. and Noah.”

Noah was hoping to get to kiss Luciano. 'Luciano seemed to want to get the hell out of here fast. I guess he doesn't like me.. but why was he staring at me like he was when he came on the platform?'

Chad scooted over to Noah and layed his head on his shoulder. Noah caressed his goose bumped covered arm and said, “You're cold. Lets go to bed and snuggle under the covers to get you warm.”

Chad pulled Noah up and held his hand as they walked back to the tent in their cold wet swim trunks.

Once they were dry and inside the sleeping bag, Noah asked Chad, “Do you want to sleep with Brendan?”

Chad turned his body towards Noah and said, “Do you want to sleep with Luciano?”

Noah kissed Chad on the mouth and muttered, “I asked you first.”

Chad snickered and said, “I thought we discussed this already.”

Noah said, “I just want to be clear. Would you sleep with Brendan if he asked you?”

Chad swallowed and placed a hand on Noah's chest and rolled his nipple with his thumb. He said. “Yes, but ONLY if it was okay with you. What about you?”

Noah shook his head, “I'm not attracted to Brendan like that and Luciano and I don't seem to get along.”

Chad said, “Oh, that's too bad.” He kissed Noah's forehead and played with his hair. Noah closed his eyes and sighed in delight.

Chad smiled and said, “Do you like that stud?”

Noah moaned, “Ohhh.. yeah, it feels good.” He opened his eyes and said, “I was just thinking Chad, you CAN sleep with Brendan... if you want to.”

Chad sat up and said angrily, “That's not the deal we made Noah and you know it. I don't want you holding something like that over my head. Either we do it together or not at all!”

Brendan called out from his tent, “Do it together!” then laughed.

Noah giggled and called back, “Sorry, we'll keep it down.”

Brendan said, “No problem. Luciano is snoring like a chainsaw. I'm used to the noise. Good night.”

Chad said, “Shit! Do you think he heard you ask me if I wanted to sleep with him? Do you think he heard my answer?”

Brendan called out again, “I did Chad. Now go to sleep!”

Noah giggled. Chad was laughing so hard he had tears in his eyes.

The zipper to their tent suddenly went up. They both sat up in fear.

“It's me, Josh. Can I come in?”

“Yeah.” Noah stated.

Josh squeezed between them and laid down on top of the sleeping bag. He had obviously been drinking at the bar down from the beach.

Noah asked, “What happened?”

Josh said with tears in his eyes, “Terry is sleeping with Wade in his tent.”

Chad said, “So what. You said you weren't coming back because you met someone. Terry probably thought you'd want to use the tent for one of your hook ups.”

Josh shouted, “Well I lied!”

Noah asked, “Why?”

Josh was really crying now. “I wanted to make Terry jealous!”

Noah and Chad exchanged a look.

Chad asked, “Why would you want to do that?”

Josh wept, “Because I really like Terry! I want to be with him!”

Noah said, “Josh, he's a friend. You don't want to use him like `that'.”

Josh shook his head and said, “No! I want a relationship with him. I really like him. We've spent a lot of time together this summer and we'll have classes together, not to mention we share a dorm room. We're close. I just want to be... closer.”

Chad sighed and asked, “Have you told him you want a relationship with him?”

Josh sobbed. “Yes! Just before we got here, literally. I told him in the car. That's why I asked him to share my tent when we were planning this trip. I wanted privacy to talk to him, but he... he said he didn't think it would work because of my past. I haven't been with that many guys!”

Chad looked doubtful and said, “Yeah right.”

Josh screamed at him, “Shut up! I saw you two down by the pier tonight. You two are worse than me!”

Noah asked, “What do you mean you saw us?”

“Chad was kissing Brendan then you were kissing him while Chad was kissing that Italian!”

Chad said, “Is that all you saw?”

Josh said, “Then you left. There was nothing left to see... was there?”

They both shook their heads.

Chad asked, “So Terry said he wouldn't be in a relationship with you, and somehow you thought you'd win him over by making him jealous if he thought you were with another guy?”

Josh nodded... then shook his head. “That is the most idiotic thing I have thought in my life. Why in the hell would I think that would work. Now he's going to think I really DID go out and get laid. What do I do? I have been celibate for 4 months because I was waiting for the right time to tell him that I like him more than a friend. I fucked up my chances didn't I?”

Josh began to cry again. Noah and Chad comforted him with hugs.

Josh screamed, “What can I do? I can't NOT see him. He's everywhere I go, where you two go, where Wade goes, where I go to school, at the dorm. You heard Wade and him teasing me this morning... and that was AFTER I confessed my feelings to him. If that's what he really thinks of me... I want to die!”

The zipper on their tent went up again.

Terry peeked his head in and saw Josh weeping. He bit his lip and asked “Josh, will you talk to me in our tent... please?”

Josh answered, “No! Noah and Chad believe me! You don't. What kind of friend are you? I confess my feelings to you and this morning you practically call me a undiscriminating whore in front of everyone!”

Terry stepped in and sat down in front of Josh. He took his hands in his and asked, “You really haven't been with anyone in 4 months?”

Josh said, “Yes Terry, actually 4 ½ months!”

Terry said, “I'm sorry for teasing you this morning. I didn't realize it upset you so much. I wasn't thinking. Can you forgive me Josh?”

Josh nodded and wiped his eyes with the heel of his palm.

Terry told him, “Lets go to our tent and talk this out. I think I should reconsider your offer.”

Josh looked shocked, “Why what changed your mind? I may have slept with someone tonight for all you know!”

Terry replied, “Josh, you're a tent away and woke me and Wade up with your crying. We couldn't help but overhear everything you said. I know you didn't sleep with anyone.”

Noah gasped and thought, 'Oh no! Wade heard Josh talk about Chad and I making out with Brendan and Luciano at the lake! Shit he's really going to be pissed off!'

Noah said in Terry's ear. “You're sure Wade heard everything too?”

Terry replied, “Yes. He's pretty furious too. He's packing to leave. He said something about not being able to sleep with all of the deceit and lying going on.”

Noah reached over for his boxers and slipped them on under the sleeping bag. He stood up, walked out of the tent, and headed to Wade's tent. He could hear Wade swearing and moving stuff around.

Noah unzipped the tent and poked his head in. He said, “Wade... let me explain. Please?”

Wade threw the bundle of clothes in his arms into a bag. He pushed Noah out of the tent. He said in a threatening voice, “If you come near me or try to stop me, I'll kick your ass!”

Noah sighed and walked back to his tent. He saw Luciano getting out of his tent in his boxers to use the bathroom.

Luciano turned around and stared up and down the length of Noah's body. He thought, 'Damn his body is making me weak in the knees.'

Noah acknowledged him with a nod and ducked back into his tent. He said, “Terry and Josh. Go make up in your own tent, I have to talk to Chad about something.

Terry and Josh walked out.

Noah faced Chad and said, “Wade IS leaving, he's packing as we speak.”

Chad looked worried, “Just because he can't sleep?”

Noah shook his head and slipped into the sleeping bag. He held Chad as he explained that Wade has an ongoing crush on him and wanted to hook up one night after they both had been drinking.

Chad pushed Noah away and said, “You slept with him?!”

Noah pulled him close again and said, “No, but we kissed... a lot. Since then, he's been jealous of any guy who shows me any kind of attention, except you of course. I didn't tell you because it was before you became my boyfriend. I bet he can't figure out why I want to be with Brendan or Luciano when he's available for me.”

Chad stated, “Doesn't he realize you and I are together? It's our own decision. Anyway it would be too awkward, we see him everyday at school? We'll never see Brendan or Luciano again. It's WAY different.”

“I know, plus he's a friend. Once you go “there” you can't go back. I wouldn't want to lose his friendship.”

Chad announced, “I'm going to go over there.” He slipped on his briefs and a pair of shorts, then walked over to Wade's tent.

Noah laid back down, waited for Chad to come back, but fell asleep before Chad came back in.
