Three Finger Cove: Charles ~ Book Three

Chapter Fourteen

Ken Thomas had to shake his head at Joyce Cambelle"s obvious antics after she finally left the Main Gate of Three Finger Cove. Her constant touching and smiling winks, at him, were obvious she was trying to get his attention. She indeed did get his attention, but Mr. Ken knew he wasn"t even remotely interested in the older woman. First off, she was almost ten years older than him; and, secondly, she was the mother of a friend of one of his boys. He knew he now had to be very careful around Joyce Cambelle.

Charles and Robert talked about their tour as they returned to the house. They talked over one another just like 'real brothers" do. When they realized what they were trying to each other, they had a good laugh.

The two boys waited in their 'dad"s" Study for him and they continued to tell each other how they saw the tour. Charles had never been a part of anything like that so his level of enthusiasm was way over the top.

When Mr. Ken entered his Study, he had his two young charges jump on him to thank him for such a very special evening. They both had to tell their 'dad" how they saw the rescue headquarters tour and the boat ride. 'Dad" Ken would have loved to hear what they had to say, that is, if they both didn"t try to tell him at the same time. He did have to dislodge himself from the lads and then had them sit down, opposite him, and to begin all over again, but this time one at a time.

"Charles, what say you tell me how you saw the day? Okay?" said Mr. Ken, to his newest foster lad.

Charles smiled at being asked first and then he began his narration. "'Dad", I mean Mr. Ken, I don"t ever remember doing anything like what I did today. I finally had someone I hope I can call my friend come over to my house. Ahh, I can call it my house, can"t I?"

"Yes, Charles … this is not ONLY your house, but it is your HOME … for as long as you want to live here," assured Mr. Ken.

Charles had a big smile after hearing that great news. Then, he continued his story while still wearing his big smile.

"Thank you! Now, as I was saying, this is the first time I can remember I could have a friend over to my house. Sure, I just met Camm last night, but I found in talking with him during the day that he was a lot like me. I learned he didn"t have many friends, nor was he invited to do much of anything with any of his classmates or neighborhood friends. He told me he was never even invited to a sleep over. I think he was just as happy about the day as I was. Even Robert"s friends treated him real nice after Robert said something to them."

"Oh, do tell Robert," smirked 'dad" Ken.

Robert looked at Charles like he wanted to wring his neck but knew what he had done was something simple so he explained to Mr. Ken. He told his 'dad" that the guys weren"t talking very nice to Camm so instead of making a scene, over it, he just told the guys that Charles"s friend liked to be called Camm and would like to be treated the way they wanted to be. Robert clarified that was all he needed to say as after that they all accepted Camm as if he was always with them.

'Dad" Ken was happy there weren"t any problems brewing in the background that could spill over between the lads. He was glad Charles was beginning to establish himself and found at least his first friend. He then asked Charles to continue his story.

"It was so much fun having a friend over, 'dad". Sorry, Mr. Ken. … Anyway, we hung together and then when it was decided we"d go swimming he went with me to my room so we could change. While we were up there I showed him around some. He was surprised about having a urinal in the bathroom. He had a big laugh over it. Ahh, he also had to try it out," laughed Charles.

"Then we changed. He said he had never changed with another boy before so we talked about it. I told him it was no big deal that in some foster houses that I was in the boys often saw one another naked because we had to share one small bathroom. I bet Robert knows what I am talking about. That was why it took us so long to get down to the pool, Robert."

After a few moments of silence, Charles continued his observations. "Then, Robert told Camm and me that we had to take some sort of swim test. When I asked him about it, one of the younger boys explained that he messed up when he swam here his first time and didn"t want to take the test. After he finished telling us his story, Camm and I both knew we needed to take the test. We both passed with flying colors. After that, we all got into the pool and I had so much fun. This was turning out to be the best day ever and it wasn"t even over yet.

"Then someone said something about being hungry. Chuck, I think it was. Then, Robert and Eric got the guys to do what they usually do when they have a barbeque. Robert then took me and showed me how to light the grill and then cook the burgers and hot dogs. Or, should I say burn the burgers and dogs? (Charles laughed at saying that since many burgers and hot dogs did get burned well beyond eating. Robert reached over and lightly punched him on his shoulder.) I also saw what the other kids had gone after and brought out to the patio. I then realized I had a lot to learn about doing a barbeque for my friends in the future.

"It was funny when you came down and talked about the guys getting caught skinny-dipping. I thought it had to be fun and that was why I asked when I"d get to do that. Then the burgers started burning and we had to scramble to get everyone a burger and a hot dog. After we had all eaten, you pulled Robert and me aside while the rest of the guys cleaned up. Then we got on your boat and we had a great time on the lake.

"But, the best time ever was when you took us to Lake Rescue Team Headquarters, or was it the Water Safety and Lake Team Water Rescue Headquarters, well, you know what I mean, and we got that awesome tour. That was even better than you letting me drive the boat," finished up Charles.

Foster dad Ken Thomas listened with interest as Charles told him how he saw the day. And he even laughed at how the boy labeled the Lake Water Safety and Rescue Headquarters. When the lad was finished, he asked Robert to tell him how he saw the day.

Robert told him how the guys used the skateboard ramps and thought they"d have some fun at Camm"s expense. He told Mr. Ken that they allowed Charles and Camm to go first and they watched. Then, Robert had to tell his 'dad" that the two boys fooled them and did real good on the ramps. The thirteen year old told Mr. Ken that the guys all clapped and from then on there were no problems.

Robert then told how he saw the burning of the burgers and then the boat trip on the lake. He finished up his take on the day by telling his 'dad" Ken how great the tour was. His enthusiasm showed through as he told how he saw some of his highlights of the tour. His smile was ear to ear.

It was going on 9:30 PM, so Mr. Ken asked the boys if they wanted to watch a movie down in the Theater. That sprung the lads out of their chairs and waiting at the Study door for their 'dad" to catch up with them.

When the trio arrived at the Theater, they let Charles select one of the DVDs Mr. Ken had bought. Mr. Ken then asked Robert to show Charles how to set the DVD up and get it ready to play. After that, they each took a separate seat in the Theater. Mr. Ken, of course, selected his special sofa-chair where he and Collin and Robert shared many a troubled time as they watched a movie there in the Theater.

Eventually, Robert made his way over to his 'dad" and joined him on the very special lounger. Charles heard the movement and saw that Robert had gone over to Mr. Ken but he wasn"t sure he was allowed. After about two minutes, Mr. Ken spoke up and asked if Charles wanted to join him and his 'brother". Charles jumped at the chance. The three relaxed together until the movie was over and it was now time to go to bed. The lads hugged Mr. Ken and then said their Good-Nights to him and left him there in his thoughts.

The 'brothers" stopped by the bathroom, on their way to their bedrooms, and they both used the installed porcelain vessels. They shared a joke while they stood there and then they washed their hands before heading to their respective bedrooms. Robert asked Charles if he wanted to bunk in with him but Charles said he needed to get used to sleeping in his own bed and room.

As Charles got ready for bed, he began to think over what he did ever since he arrived at The Cove. In just those few short days, he felt he was becoming a part of a 'family", of sorts, and he liked how he felt over what he had done. He was beginning to believe the promise Mr. Ken had made to him, that he could start a 'new life" while living there. Sure, Smokey"s arrival and his attempted kidnapping put a damper on his enjoying the Carnival and getting to know his 'brothers" better, but now with Smokey"s demise he hoped he could get into a normal life.

After Charles got settled into his bed, and even though he knew he felt tired, he just couldn"t get right to sleep. So, he laid there and began thinking about what he and Camm did earlier that day. Sure, Smokey forced him do carnal stuff with the Satan"s Devils and other gang members, and the teens in the foster home, the one he shared with Robert, made him do some sexual games with them, but he never had a real encounter with someone his own age.

As Charles continued to lie there, waiting for sleep to overtake him, he played the changing scene back in his mind. He"d been naked with so many people before that, he really didn"t feel embarrassed about changing in front of Camm. Yes, he was a bit hesitant to be naked in front of Robert and Eric in the shower, that first day, but he told himself that he didn"t know or understand their friendship and he wasn"t sure how he would fit in.

Looking back, Charles remembered how Camm just watched him as he took off his clothes, but never attempted to take off any of his. He then realized the lad was actually watching him. At the time, he didn"t know what Camm was thinking but when he did turn around after getting out his swim suit, Camm did take his clothes off down to his briefs.

But before that, he remembered asking Camm if he wanted to wait to change or even go to the bathroom to change but Camm said, something like, "No, that"s okay. I"ll just change in here with you, if that is okay with you?"

Then, Charles remembered how very surprised Camm was when he told his new friend that he had taken his shower with both Robert and Eric that morning but had to be naked in front of the other boys at other foster homes. That"s when he showed Camm the boy"s bathroom setup and offered to let him change there but Camm wanted to change with him.

Charles then fast forwarded to the end when Camm told him he never played 'I"ll show you mine, if you"ll show me yours" and understood that Camm was wanting the opportunity to actually see a real life naked boy. He told him he saw many naked adults on the internet but he was curious to see another person his age.

Then, Charles remembered how Camm was hiding his boner from him and he took the lead and showed him his. He asked Camm not to be embarrassed because all kids their age get them. He then watched as Camm made the decision to take his hands away and Charles could swear that the boy"s dick got even harder than it was while hidden behind the lad"s hands.

Next, Charles remembered how he walked closer to Camm. Then Camm asked if he could take a closer look at his boner. Charles made sure that was what Camm wanted to do and when he said he did he allowed Camm to come closer. It was then that the two of them somehow leaned into one and other and hugged.

Charles remembered how erotic the hug felt as his hardened dick was experiencing a high overload of sensations going back and forth to his brain. He also remembered how the two of them instinctively began to rock back and forth allowing their sensitized boners to slide against the other"s so smooth body. Soon, thereafter, they experienced their mutual final release as large shots of baby making juices were spewed onto one another.

It was just then, as Charles visualized in his mind their mutual release of spermies, he realized the whole time his hand had been playing with his own joy stick and he had again released a large load of his home made cream.

Charles then smiled to himself how the replay of what he and Camm did made him feel so exhilarated about the possibly he may have found someone he could enjoy boy sex with verses being forced to do sex with people twice his age, or more.

The lad quickly cleaned up his mess, quietly walked to the bathroom to pee, and then climbed back into his bed. He fell right to sleep and had wonderful dreams of him and Camm touching and helping one another feel real good.

Robert, on the other hand, as he lay on his bed, was wondering why it took Charles and Camm so long to change and get down to the pool. He remembered what Charles told him as to why it took them so long but he was curious if the lads had done something more. The new teen played a number of scenarios in his mind and finally came up with that Charles probably did show Camm around the upstairs and, since his new 'brother" didn"t know his way around very well, it could very well have taken all that long. With a smile now on his face, Robert fell right to sleep. His dreams that night had him and Eric doing what Charles and Camm did and more.

As usual, Ken Thomas woke up at 8 AM. He retrieved his daily newspaper which was waiting for him just outside the Foyer door, as it always was. He then went directly to the Kitchen Nook where Momma Maria was waiting for him so she could cook his breakfast.

"Buenos días Miester Kens. I sees you had lots of la Aventura … ahh, excitement heres whiles I was gones," offered Momma Maria, as her employer entered the Kitchen Nook.

"Ahh, Buenos días, Momma Maria … yes we had too much excitement here since the Carnival. Momma Maria … how did you get past the guards this morning? I never called them to tell them you"d be here this morning," followed up Mr. Ken.

"Ahh, si, Miesters Kens … ahh, I"s entender … you see I ahh knows that mans at the la entrada, si gate, his mornings from the last times, so he"s let"s me ins. I cause him nos problema, troubles, si, Miester Kens? He"s a nice mans Miester Kens and hes ahh knows me," a very concerned Momma Maria asked Mr. Ken.

"No, no Momma … nothing to worry about. I was just curious about how you got in here this morning without me telling them about you. I am glad you know at least one of the security guards. … Oh, and speaking of security guards … I better call up there and tell them about Chris, the new Estate Manager," answered Mr. Ken.

"Si, La hacienda el director, no." asked Momma Maria.

"Yes, Momma Maria but not hacienda … he, Chris, is called the Estate Manager. Let me call the security guards so they know who he is," replied Mr. Ken, who then walked to his Study to make the call.

Just as the owner of The Cove called the Main Gate, Chris Dominions had arrived for his first day on his new job. Ken Thomas told the guard to process the man onto the Estate grounds, just as they would do any other person. Mr. Ken then went to the Foyer door to await Chris"s arrival.

"Good morning, Chris," offered Ken Thomas, to his newest employee as the man came through the Foyer entrance. "You"re a bit early, don"t you think?" then teased Mr. Ken.

"Well, I didn"t want to be late for my first day. Plus, I wasn"t all that familiar with the traffic patterns, this early in the morning, and the directions to your wonderful home. You have to remember, I was only here that one day," responded Chris.

"Let"s head to the Kitchen Nook and some coffee, and some breakfast if you haven"t eaten," encouraged Mr. Ken, as the two men walked to the back end of the home.

"Momma … Chris is a bit early on his first day. Should we send him back until it is time for him to arrive?" teased Mr. Ken, some more.

"Nos Miester Ken"s … lets hims have a cups of el café and some breaksfasts whiles he"s nows heres," replied Momma Maria.

Chris Dominions told the woman that he already had breakfast but would love a cup of coffee as he sat down so he could look out the Kitchen Nook"s large picture window. Momma brought him a large cup of coffee and a few of her sweet magdalenas (breakfast sweet cakes) for him to indulge in. Chris Dominions eyes lit up when he saw the tasty sweet treats set before him to eat. He just shook his head knowing if he ate there like this every day he"d gain 5 pounds a week for sure.

In the meantime, Momma already had Mr. Ken"s breakfast ready for him when the two men walked into the Kitchen Nook, so she presented it to him as the men talked.

"Chris, this will be a busy day for you. It"ll take most of the morning to show you around and then you"ll probably spend the rest of the day, and probably much of the week, reviewing contracts and getting orientated to the estate. Oh, and speaking of the estate, I"ve decided to change your title from Household Manager, to Estate Manager. I never liked the 'household" name, even from the beginning, but Mildred loved the title so I never changed it.

"When we talked the other day, I"m not sure if I made myself clear on your work hours. Chris … I do not expect you to be here 9 to 5 every day. I know from talking to Bill and you some, that you will have a need to go to doctor appointments and in time, when school starts, you"ll have to deal with your kids and their school. Up front, I do want you to become intimately involved with all the contracts for The Cove and how they are written. Ultimately, I"ll want you to renegotiate and write the renewal contracts in the future. It will be your job to write them so they are fair to both the contractor and The Cove," began Mr. Ken.

"Ahh, about how many contracts are there Mr. Ken?" asked Chris, after taking a sip of his coffee.

"You know, Chris … that is a great question. Mildred always took care of them and all I ever did was sign on the dotted line. I think I told you, already, I had all the contracts audited, after she was terminated, and that it appears that Mildred has skimmed some, no, make that a lot of money off each and every one of them. You"ll be working with the auditor, and eventually the Sheriff"s office, as we eventually charge her, and some of the contractors, with theft and embezzlement and many more charges," clarified Mr. Ken.

As the two men talked, Charles, Robert and Chief came walking into the Kitchen Nook. Robert went directly to his 'dad" and gave him a hug and said 'Good Morning" to him. Then seeing Mr. Chris sitting at the breakfast table he told him 'Good Morning", too.

Charles waited for Robert to finish and then hugged Mr. Ken and said 'Good Morning" to him, as well. He also said a 'Good Morning" to Mr. Chris, and proceeded to sit at one of the empty chairs at the table.

Chief followed right behind Charles and she jumped up onto the man"s lap and gave him a few doggie kisses. When she got down, she barked a few 'Woof"s" and sat down right next to Mr. Ken"s chair. It was then she remembered they had a guest, so she went over to Mr. Chris and sat down in front of him and offered him her paw. After Chris took Chief"s offered paw and shook it, Chief barked out a 'Woof" and then went back to Mr. Ken and sat down next to him.

Chris Dominions was pleasantly surprised at seeing the display of affection, not only from how the boys greeted their foster dad, and to him, but also how Chief followed suit. He also enjoyed Chief"s display of greeting him and that put a big smile on his face. He made a mental note to tell his wife, later that day, how the dog made him feel welcome, too.

"Chris, they don"t normally act this way every morning, but ever since Collin was here this last time they have done this. I am NOT complaining, mind you, but if you are here when they do come down for breakfast and you don"t see it, don"t take offense," laughed Ken Thomas, as he explained to Chris what he saw.

Ken Thomas then directed his attention to his boys. "Boys … did you both sleep well, last night?"

Charles quickly spoke up and explained he didn"t fall asleep right away but after he reviewed the awesome day he had yesterday, in his mind, he went right to sleep.

Robert explained he too thought about what they all did yesterday and after reviewing everything he saw during the tour of the Rescue Headquarters, he too fell right to sleep.

Momma Maria had waited for the lads to stop speaking before asking them what they wanted for breakfast. They both asked for scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and a cold glass of orange juice. When she delivered their requested foods, a little bit later, they thanked her for fixing it for them. This impressed Chris even more about the way the boys acted and the way his boss had taught the lads table manners.

Mr. Ken and Chris pushed back their chairs when they had finished their coffee and were ready to proceed to the Study for them to continue discussing the needs of The Cove. But, before they left the Kitchen Nook, Mr. Ken told the boys he had changed the title of Chris" position. When the lads heard the new title, Estate Manager, they agreed the name was more fitting.

Charles and Robert talked more about the previous day"s fun, as they ate, and then talked about what they would do today. Since Robert had lived there longer than he, Charles asked Robert what was there to do. Robert told Charles that what they did around the house yesterday was about it. Robert told Charles they used to skate right in front of the front door, but after Mr. Ken bought the material for the ramps they were built just about where they are now.

Robert also said that he and his friends would sometimes swim but that was during the colder months, then he added the indoor pool could be used at any time. Robert explained they would be able to use the personal water craft but there was way too many of them plus Charles hadn"t taken the Water Safety Course and wasn"t thirteen yet so he would have to ride with someone eighteen or older. Robert said he could ask Ryan to stop over but even with Ry and Mr. Ken there were still way too many kids and definitely not enough PWCs.

Charles asked what was there to do outside of the estate and Robert explained that there was a large neighborhood just outside and that was where most of the people lived who came to the Carnival. Robert then said there was a big skateboard park, not too far from there, but that it was always crowded which was why they asked 'dad" to build the ramps they had. Robert also mentioned the Putt-Putt and the Go-Kart Track over at Four Corners.

When the lads finished their breakfast, they hugged Momma Maria for making such a great meal for them. Charles lingered a bit longer, during his hug, as he truly appreciated what momma Maria did for him. The lads then went upstairs to get ready for their day.

In the Study Mr. Ken and Mr. Chris got down to business. Ken Thomas slid out the file drawer with all the contracts and file information for Three Finger Cove. He then had Chris pull out one contract and do a quick read through it. Five minutes later the two men discussed that particular contract which gave Chris an idea of what he was in for as he read and learned what each and every contract dealt with.

Upstairs, Charles joined Robert in the shower. After changing with Camm and having a quick sex encounter, Charles no longer felt he needed to be embarrassed by showering with his 'brother" or any of the other guys.

"Robert," began Charles, "did you ever tell Mr. Ken about, you know, what those older boys made us do in that house we were at together?"

Robert wasn"t ready for that question, so it made him stop washing himself and to think. He did tell Mr. Ken, so there was no reason to say otherwise, so, he readily answered his new 'brother". "Yes, Charles, I did tell Mr. Ken about those boys. Even Ms. Judy knows, so, if either one of them asks you about it don"t be afraid to tell them. I think Ms. Judy is working with the Sheriff"s office and those teenagers will probably be in big trouble."

"Do you think we"ll have to testify in court?" anxiously asked Charles.

"If the boys don"t accept a deal, then we"ll probably have to," responded Robert.

"I sure hope we don"t have to," quickly replied Charles. "I had to testify at my mom"s trial and I don"t want to ever have to do that again."

"Charles … you probably don"t know this … but, I"ve already had to testify in court," began Robert. "You know what my mom and dad made me do, well … they both wanted to have a trial, so I had to get ready to testify against them. I won"t tell you it was easy because it put a lot of pressure on me because it was at the end of school.

"The first time I had to go to court was to ask for a delay in the start of the trial because it would interfere with me studying for STAR and school finals. I got that delay but then, I did have to testify at my dad"s trial. But, now that I"ve done it, I know what to expect and how the adults treat kids our age. Charles … if you have to testify, I"ll be sure to be there to help you out. Also, know, 'dad" will be there with you, too."

"Thanks, Robert … but, I know I"ll still be afraid," weakly said the twelve year old.

After hearing the way Charles answered, Robert innocently walked over to Charles and began to hug the boy. Charles didn"t even think about them both being naked and he leaned into the hug. But, no sooner had the lads begun their hug that they both quickly stood back from one another when they felt their boy toys begin to rise due to their touching.

Robert wasn"t prepared for his dick to bone up like it began to do and he almost instinctively began to place his hands out in front of his teen-hood. Then, he remembered he"d been naked and hard in front of Charles before, so he let his hands fall to his sides and his phallus rose to full mast.

Charles initially reacted the same way Robert had, but he too realized he"d been naked and hard in front of his new 'brother" before, and so he dropped his hands to his sides and just let nature take its course. Nature didn"t disappoint either lad, right then, as within seconds of dropping their hands both lads had raging boners that demanded relief.

Seeing Robert"s somewhat bigger schlong, Charles began to laugh. He then looked down at his own totem and began to wiggle his hips making his Johnson slap against his stomach. Robert laughed at his 'brother"s" antics and then he too began to swing his hips back and forth adding to the slapping sounds.

It was Charles who stopped swinging his hips first, and then he grabbed his fire hose and began to stroke it. Robert saw that his new 'brother" began to choke his chicken and he too grabbed his own one-eyed-snake and began to spank his own monkey.

Both boys smiled at one another as they both worked their flesh rocket to a final countdown. Then, the lads closed their eyes as they each fantasized who they really would enjoy doing that with. Robert, of course, was thinking of what he and Eric had enjoyed together and wished his best friend was there with him right now. Charles" mind went immediately to what he and Camm shared the previous day and he wished the lad was there, also. Since neither lad took the time to work out any excess joy juice that previous night, or that morning, they were both primed to blast off, and soon.

The sounds in the shower that morning was one of water splashing onto the shower room floor and the two lad"s rapidly stroking their hardened sex muscle. The sounds were mesmerizing to both lads and along with their minds visualized sexual play, with one particular friend, only increased their efforts to achieve final lift off. Then, with unspoken words, each lad opened his eyes and watched the other stroke-on as first Charles, and then Robert, shot out their rocket fuel in blast after blast after blast.

When their rocket fuel was expended, the lads had another big smile for one another and they both then turned to get under their shower and finish getting cleaned up. Since, both boys shot their fuel towards one another, Robert turned his shower head towards where he shot his fuel in order to wash it towards the drain. Charles saw what his 'brother" was doing so he too followed suit.

They finished cleaning up in silence and they somehow both turned off their shower at the same time. Walking out of the shower area, they each grabbed a clean fluffy towel and began to dry off. It was then that Robert began talking to Charles.

"Charles … are you mad at what we just did?" meekly asked the young teen.

"No … actually, I"m not. We did things together with those older boys at that one foster house; so, seeing and watching you was a no brainer. I actually … ahh … I actually enjoyed it. I never did anything like this with another boy my age until yester … ahh … I never did anything with someone my age before so I wanted to know what it was like," fumbled Charles, as he looked down.

Robert heard Charles almost confession that he and Camm did do something together yesterday and he wanted to make him know that he didn"t care if he did. Knowing he needed to say something Robert said, "Charles … please believe me when I say that it doesn"t matter to me … if you and Camm did do something together yesterday. I … I know how it feels to do something sexual with another boy my age, too. Please don"t be embarrassed about it. You know we both were made to do sexual games with much older adults and … well, finding someone closer to our age to enjoy those same feelings and to share them is only natural. The only time I ever did anything even close to my age was with those teens. I was glad when I found a boy my age that I could then share them with him."

Charles listened to what Robert had to say and he wondered who that boy could be so he quietly asked, "Was … was that … Eric?"

Robert could only smile at the question; so, all he did was to nod his head to indicate it was true.

Charles smiled back and said, "Thank you. I thought it might be. He seems to know everything and he looks at you in a special way. … Is it better with him than doing it with older guys?"

"Yes, it definitely is. When we did it the first time … he told me that was his first time ever doing something with another boy his age. He told me he really enjoyed it and hoped we"d do it some more. We have," finished Robert, with a big shit-eating grin.

Charles decided to tell his new 'brother" his first time story, so he revealed, "I think I know what you mean. In the beginning, I didn"t intend to do anything with Camm. Like I told 'dad" earlier, Camm told me he never changed with another boy his age. What I didn"t say was Camm … he was curious as to what I looked like… naked. When we finally got our clothes off he began to get hard. He was embarrassed by it but I also got hard and let him see it. We walked closer to one another and he asked if he could see it close up. I told him he could and when he got closer we hugged instead.

"I never felt the sensations I felt as we hugged and our dicks slid up against our stomachs. The more we hugged the more we let our boners slide up and down and, as the sensations increased, I never wanted it to stop. I"m not sure what it was but something made us both look to one another and with a thrust or two later both our dicks shot out our boy cream. We smiled at what we did and hugged some more. I realized we"d been gone a long time so we quickly ran to the shower and washed off and got our suits on and came down as fast as we could."

"Thank you for telling me all that Charles," offered Robert. "I wondered why it took you that long to get changed but with your explanation, that you showed Camm the upstairs, I figured that was why. But, you know what? I am very happy now that you might have found someone you can share some intimate moments with. Eric, he"s my best friend now, and I have had some very good sex together and I look forward to when he spends the night."

Charles had a big grin on his face from what Robert just revealed about him and Eric. He was happy to know that his 'brother" was also having boy-to-boy sex with his best friend and he really did hope that he and Camm could share those same feelings.

The lads changed topics then and talked some more about the previous evening"s tour. They continued to dry their bodies and then they put on clean boxer briefs and then walked to their respective rooms.

Charles only had his old clothes to put on but he knew he"d probably get them dirty while skateboarding, or doing whatever, so he didn"t mind putting them on. He knew all the new clothes Mr. Ken bought him the other night would probably be washed that day and he"d be able to begin wearing them tomorrow. As he began to choose which clothes he"d wear, his bedroom door unexpectedly opened. It was Mr. Chris. Charles immediately got scared.

"Chris," Charles heard from out in the hallway, "we don"t just walk into anyone"s bedroom without knocking," the lad also heard coming from now a familiar voice, Mr. Ken"s.

Chris Dominions was taken aback by his employer"s loud and commanding voice and he wondered to himself how else he"d get into the bedrooms. As Chris was thinking that, Mr. Ken came to the door.

"I"m so sorry Charles. Mr. Chris doesn"t know about the Three-Knock Rule. As a matter of fact, I wonder if you know about that Rule?" offered Mr. Ken.

Charles indeed had never heard of the 'Three Knock Rule" but, even if he had, what still showed on his face was the shock from being scared by an adult man bursting into his bedroom. Ken Thomas saw there was something amiss with Charles, and it probably had something to do with the way Mr. Chris barged into his room, but he didn"t want to address it in front of Chris or the boy. It was then that a freshly dressed Robert came into Charles room.

Before Robert could say anything, Mr. Ken said, "I"ll explain the Three-Knock Rule to Mr. Chris here. Robert … would you please explain to your 'brother" what is meant by that rule." Then, with that said, Mr. Ken motioned for Mr. Chris to follow him. They proceeded back to the Study.

Upstairs, tears began to stream down Charles" face. The twelve year old was still in a slight dismay due to the way the much older adult entered his room. Robert pulled his 'brother" into his arms and tried his best to get him settled down. When he finally did, he asked him to finish dressing and then he explained the three-Knock-Rule.

"I"m so sorry that Mr. Chris burst into your room, Charles. He"s new here, too, and he probably didn"t know about Mr. Ken"s Three-Knock Rule," began Robert. "You see, Mr. Ken doesn"t want anyone to be embarrassed by someone else walking in on them while they are changing, or are naked even."

Charles looked to Robert and asked, "Did … did Mr. Ken ever catch you naked?"

Robert broke a smile as he remembered when Mr. Ken caught him and Eric as naked as the day they were born. He figured they already shared an embarrassing sexual story so he told Charles about that fateful day. All Charles did was laugh at his 'brother" when he heard the story. It also had the effect of calming Charles down. When Charles had finished dressing, the lads headed outside to wait for their friends to arrive.

Down in the Study, Mr. Ken was talking to Chris about some of the Rules he too needed to learn about The Cove. Ken could see some distress in the man"s face but he thought it could be from his embarrassment from walking in a partially dressed Charles.

"Chris," began Ken Thomas, "there is so much for you to learn here at The Cove. I probably should have told you about my Three-Knock Rule but as I said there is so much for you to learn and understand. You see, the Three-Knock Rule came about when Collin lived here. He was a much older teenager whose privacy needed to be ensured. I did walk in on him a time or two and it was then I decided we needed to talk about a way for us to enter each other"s domain without embarrassing one another.

"So, I decided to come up with the Rule that with the first time, at a closed door, we knock loudly. If the person doesn"t answer then on the second knock, we not only knock loudly but we also call their name. If that person still doesn"t respond, then we again knock loudly, but this time we can slowly open the door as we call their name. Of course in an extreme emergency, all bets are off.

"Chris … did you see the shock and slight fear on Charles" face when you entered?" directly asked Mr. Ken.

"Yes, I saw that but I figured it was because someone entered his room unannounced. I really didn"t know anyone was in there, Ken," explained Chris.

"I can understand your take on this Chris, especially since I hadn"t even mentioned the Rule I just explained. In The Cove, a closed bedroom door means someone IS inside and we need to follow the Rule. Do you enter your kid"s bedrooms as you did Charles" earlier?" point blankly asked Mr. Ken.

"As a matter of fact, I, well we do. They have nothing to hide and they should know that mom and dad will enter any time we think we need to," quickly answered Chris Dominions.

"I guess that will have to be something you"re going to have to work on here, then, Chris. These are not your kids; they"re mine. I mentioned to you the other day that I would be the one to administer any corrections to them and that if you see them doing something that is not right or unsafe you would tell them what they should have done and then tell me and then I"ll decide on how to correct them.

"I also believe I told you what Mildred did to Robert, but what you do not know, and should know a little bit about, is why each boy is living with me. You see, Chris ahh … well, both lads … they each had some real bad interactions with much older adults, such as yourself. I can NOT tell you what occurred but please know that until the boys, and Charles in particular, get used to you being here they may act differently towards you, than they do me. Also, please understand that Charles has only been with me since late Wednesday night, and we are still getting used to and knowing one another.

Chris told his employer he truly understood what the man was saying. Chris also told Mr. Ken he would try not to interact with the boys too much, in the beginning, and would hope they all could warm up to one another over the remainder of the summer. Ken Thomas was happy with the man"s explanation for the way he planned to get to know the lad"s and he left it at that.
