As soon as George stopped the vehicle, in front of the Foyer entrance, the four lads quickly jumped out and headed inside. The three men couldn't believe they would do that, but forty-five seconds later the first lad, Camm, returned to help unload the wetsuits. Then, about thirty seconds later, the other three boys came back to the vehicle to help with the wetsuits, skateboard, and their accessories.
"Charles ... what was the big rush all about when we got back home?" a perplexed 'dad' Ken wanted to know.
"Oh, that ... well, we all needed to hit the urinals, and fast. That was why we all ran like we did. We were all crossing our legs the whole time those gate guards made Mr. George sign us in. Phew, that was close. It was lucky for us there is that big restroom under the stairs," explained Charles.
Mr. Ken just smiled at what Charles said, and then shook his head as he watched the lads finish unloading the vehicle and take everything inside. He, George and Gene followed right in behind them.
The lads were waiting right inside the Foyer Door for Mr. Ken. As soon as they saw him, they asked if they had time for a quick snack before Charles and Camm tried out their new wetsuits. Mr. Ken only said they would have to wait to get in the water if they ate since food has a tendency to cause cramps in the legs after someone eats.
"But 'dad'," cried, Robert.
"No, buts, 'son', if you eat then you'll have to wait to go out on the WaveRunners. Do I make myself clear? I have to err on the side of safety, here. And, besides, we won't be out there all that long. Now, take Charles and Camm down to the pool dressing room and show them how to get into their wet suits. Then, you two either get into your wet suits or swimming suits. Now, get a move on!" emphatically answered 'dad' Ken.
"Why didn't you say, so!" smiled Robert, as he led the other three down the stairs to get to the pool dressing room.
"And, NO running," called out Mr. Ken, a bit too late.
The lads quickly headed into the dressing room. Once inside, Robert told Charles and Camm that they didn't wear anything under the wetsuit and for them to strip naked. He told them he and Eric would be right back with theirs and would do the same. Camm looked at his new friend, Charles, and smiled. Charles just smiled right back with a knowing smile. The lads then proceeded to strip off their clothes.
Robert and Eric returned just as the other two lads had taken off their underwear. They quickly tore off their street clothes and in a few seconds, they were as naked as the other two. Camm just watched in earnest knowing he was going to again see Robert and Eric naked. Unfortunately, what usually happens when Camm sees a naked boy his pride-and-joy begins to rise to the occasion. Charles saw what was happening so he quickly reached over and slapped the rising phallus.
"Hey, that hurts,' yelled Camm. Then, he saw the look Charles gave him and he realized he didn't need to get a boner just then.
"Hey, guys ... let's get you into your wetsuits. Then, Eric and I will get into ours. I sure hope 'dad' can get Ryan to help with the tubes," said Robert.
A naked Robert helped Charles and an equally naked Eric helped Camm. They had the newbie's put one foot in at a time and then work the suit over the ankle and up their thigh. They made sure the knee pads were lined up correctly and there wasn't lots of fabric behind the knee. The next step was to gently pull the suit up to the crotch and then pull the suit up their torso. Charles and Camm had to adjust their boy parts so they didn't get positioned wrong and get hurt along the way.
The lads' arms and armpits were next followed by the shoulder and neck. Once the helper checked the suit fit was right, they pulled the zipper up to close the wet suit. They didn't have the boys put on the booties or gloves as it was the beginning of July and the water, although not what you would call warm, it wasn't all that cold, either.
Robert and Eric then quickly put on their wetsuits while Charles and Camm watched. As soon as the four lads were ready to go, they took their clothes and placed them in a locker but they left the key there as they were the only ones who were going to use them.
The four friends walked down to the dock and were happy to find Ryan and Todd there. Ryan told them Mr. Ken had asked them to help him with the WaveRunners and the Jet Ski. Todd was all smiles as he was going to get the chance to ride one or the other.
A few minutes later, Mr. Ken showed up carrying a PWC pull toy. He then had to explain to Charles, Camm, and Todd how they used them and then told the lads they'd find, soon enough, out how much fun they can be. The man had Charles and Camm go with him over to a WaveRunner and he explained how to check it over before they ever rode it and then how to start it. He had each twelve-year-old do a cursory check of the PWC and then had them start it. Both boys had big smiles on their faces after they had done that.
Ken Thomas then asked Ryan to take Camm out on a WaveRunner and show him how to operate it and then to let him drive. The man asked Todd and Eric to take the other Wave Runner and to follow along but not too close. He then told Robert and Charles to follow him to the Jet Ski.
Ryan explained to Camm how to operate the Wave Runner. The older teen explained that the machine did not act like a car but would continue to glide through the water even when they turned it off. He further explained they needed to be aware of their speed and what was around them, out on the water, where they had intended to go. The two quickly put their personal flotation device (PFD) on and then Ryan turned the WaveRunner towards the open water, started it, got on, and then had Camm get on behind him. Ryan went slowly out to the open water, explaining to Camm they never went fast in the enclosed swimming area. Todd and Eric put on their PFDs and followed well behind them, as Mr. Ken asked.
Over at the Jet Ski, Mr. Ken explained its operation to Charles and how to start it. The lad again did a quick check of the machine and started it. The man had them all don their PFDs and then Robert got into the driver's position, then Mr. Ken got on, and he had Charles hold the rope for the pull toy and get on last. Robert drove the PWC slowly until he was out and away from the dock area.
Mr. Ken explained to Charles he wanted the lad to get on the water toy and then they would let out the rope. Then, once the line was taut, he'd have Robert slowly pull the tube through the water. The man reviewed the hand signals, one last time for safety, and Charles got on the pull toy.
Robert made some slow turns as he went back and forth in front of The Cove's dock. Mr. Ken had him pick up speed as he told Charles what they were going to do and for the lad to hold on. Five minutes later Mr. Ken and Robert heard Charles ask for more speed and Robert gave him his wish.
Charles stayed on the tube quite well but Robert knew how he could get him to 'let go' so he not only increased the speed but also made the turns tighter. It didn't take long for Charles to hit the water and come up laughing. They did that for another ten minutes when Charles and Camm exchanged places.
It was now Charles' turn to learn how the WaveRunner operated out on the lake and what to expect when he gave the machine more fuel. Ryan went first, as he did with Camm, and explained the operational procedures, then they changed places. Charles started out slow, but as he felt the breeze on his face he wanted to go faster, so he did. Ryan could hear the lad laughing hard as he drove the WaveRunner back and forth past The Cove. Ryan did have to rein the lad in some but Charles was as happy as a lark as he drove the PWC.
Camm was also enjoying his ride on the water toy. He too wanted to go faster and Robert obliged. Camm would fall off the tube and then he wantedto get back on and do it again. He was having experiences he never thought possible, and he wanted to enjoy them to their fullest. Mr. Ken could hear the lad's laughter above the whine of the Jet Ski and was very happy for him.
It came time for the lads to switch off, so Charles drove the three-person Jet Ski as Eric rode the tube. Charles tried to drive the bigger machine as he did the WaveRunner but couldn't get it to do what he wanted. He still gave Eric a fun ride but he never flipped the teenager off of it.
Robert and Todd also took their turns on the towable tube and depending on who was driving the Jet Ski determined if they were unceremoniously dumped into the lake. The boys even convinced Mr. Ken to take a turn on the tube. The whole group was having so much fun they never watched the time and it was almost 6:30 when they returned to the beach area and turned off the machines.
"Mr. Ken that was the most fun I can ever remember having," blurted out Camm Cambelle. "Ever since Charles asked me over to Three Finger Cove, I've ... I've done nothing but have FUN! I got to use your skateboard ramps, I swam in your pool, I rode on your big boat, took a tour of a very special place and now, today, you let me drive a WaveRunner and then get pulled behind the bigger machine as I rode the water tube. Thank you for allowing me to do them all. I hope I don't wake up and find out this was all just a dream." Camm then, unthinking, hugged the man.
Ryan and Todd showed the lads how they were to shut down the PWCs and put them to bed. They then went up to the dressing room to change out of their wetsuits or bathing suits. This time Camm was so tired from all the action he did he couldn't even get hard if he wanted to. He did enjoy looking at all the big swinging dicks on Todd and Ryan but especially Ryan's much larger appendage than Todd's nicely proportioned one. From what he saw, he knew they would be good fantasizing material for later on.
It was now going on 7 PM, and Mr. Ken met the lads at the top of the stairs and shooed them towards the Kitchen Nook so they could all eat. He told Todd and Camm he had called their moms and told them where their boy was and that he was going to feed them. The seven thrill seekers all sat down at one of momma Maria's wonderful dinners.
When they finished their meal, Ryan, Robert and Charles got up and went to Momma Maria and thanked her for waiting dinner on them, and for cooking such a fabulous meal. Then they hugged her. Eric knew what those three were doing, so he quickly got up, and as he went over to Maria, he motioned to Camm and Todd to follow suit. The three remaining lads then went to Momma Maria and said almost word-for-word what the 'brothers' said. They also hugged Momma Maria. When the six lads had finished thanking her, she had tears streaming down her face.
The boys began to walk out of the Kitchen Nook, but Charles hung back and waited until the other five were out of earshot. He then went to his foster dad and asked, "Mr. Ken ... is it too late to ask if Camm could spend the night? I wanted to ask earlier but we were always together, with the other boys, and this was the first chance I got. I'll understand if you say no, because it is so late, but I then want to use this chance to ask if he could spend the night tomorrow night. I'll go catch up with the others. And 'dad', ahh, Mr. Ken I want to thank you for another over the top day!" Charles then hugged the man as tight as he could.
As Charles walked out of the Nook, Mr. Ken asked him to send Robert in to see him.
As Robert went back to the Nook, the other lads asked him what took him so long. He told them he thanked Mr. Ken for what he did for him today and then chided the others for not saying something to the man for helping them have an awesome day. The lads who hadn't thanked Mr. Ken lowered their heads some in shame for not thanking Mr. Ken.
When Robert returned, he wondered why it was so quiet and everyone, but Charles, looked so sad. Then, when he heard what Charles told him, he too felt like a heel for not thanking his 'dad' for everything he did for them that day.
"'Dad' ... could you come out here for a few minutes?" sort of yelled Robert.
Mr. Ken came directly out and asked what his 'son' needed.
"Mr. Ken," it was Ryan who spoke up, "we all want to thank you for what you did for us today. It had been some time since you and I did anything with the PWCs and what I hear from the other guys they had an awesome day, too. I know Todd had a good time as this was his first time to use the PWCs since he passed the Safety Course, and get pulled on the tube. We ... ahh, we should have said something, to you, long before now, so we apologize ... for not saying anything sooner."
Mr. Ken stood there a bit stunned by the short speech. He never expected them to say anything, but now, that they have, that put a great big smile on his face. He didn't know what to say so all he did was open his arms for a big group hug.
As the large group pulled out of its 'group hug', Mr. Ken told Charles he could do what he asked. Then, he looked at Robert and told him the same thing. Both lads got great big grins on their faces, while the other boys wondered what that was all about.
It was Charles who spoke first. "Camm, Mr. Ken just told me it was okay to ask you if you wanted to spend the night."
"He did? I can?" screamed Camm. "I hope my mom will let me. She's not very good at letting me do things away from her. I have even wondered why she's allowed me to come over here but I don't care. I've had the most awesome times since I came over here and I never want this to end!"
"'Dad', ahh, I mean Mr. Ken ... I've never done anything like this before so ... I don't know who calls Ms. Cambelle. Do I, or does Camm, or are you supposed to call her and ask?" a confused Charles asked.
Mr. Ken laughed at the naiveté of his newest 'son', so he told the lad that he'd call Joyce Cambelle for the lads. He then said that over time, and he got to know his friends, they would be 'in the system' and when the occasion came along they would call their own parents. But, for this time, he would make that first call.
Robert then spoke up and told Eric he could spend the night, too. Eric had hoped he'd get the chance to stay, since he hadn't been allowed to since Friday. He had a big smile on his face as he pulled his cell phone out and called his mom.
Ryan looked at his employer with pleading in his face, but the man told him that this was Camm's first time ever to stay and he didn't want an overload of kids along for the ride. All Todd did was smile through the entire conversation. He'd been a part of some of the things they did at The Cove and he was just happy that he got to do what he did that day.
Eric got an OK from his mom, and that got Mr. Ken into action to call Joyce Cambelle.
"Hello, Joyce? ... This is Ken Thomas. ... Yeah, time got away from us today. I took the lads out shopping and before I knew it was almost 5:30. ... ... We went out on the Personal Water Crafts and swam some and then time got away from me again, which was why I asked if he could eat with us. ... ... Oh, no, he hasn't been any trouble. Camm is a perfect gentleman. I hardly know he's here. ... Oh, the reason for my call this time ... well, we got so busy that when Charles asked me if Camm could spend the night, I just totally forgot about it. So, now I am calling to ask you if you'll allow Camm to spend the night, tonight. I know it's late, and Charles will take a rain check for tomorrow night, if that would work out better for you. ... ... Yes, thank you for the boys. Their smiles tell the whole story. ... Yes, I agree. ... ... OK. ... Yes, Camm is welcome anytime here at The Cove. ... ... Thank you again, Ms. Cambelle. ... Ok, Joyce, good night!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ken, I don't know how you were able to do it, but thank you," offered Camm, who then ran to the man and hugged him separately for the second time that day.
"Yes, thank you, Mr. Ken," said Eric. "I was hoping I'd get the chance to stay here again. I wasn't sure if I would ... after that Smokey thing and all."
"Eric, my little bro, you will always be welcome here, even when you are grown up and have a wife and a bunch of kids," laughed Mr. Ken.
"Ahh, Mr. Ken ... I better get going," spoke up Ryan. "I'll drop Todd off on my way home."
"Oh, that reminds me ... Todd ... I would like you to be back here at 10 AM. I'm having a little surprise delivered then, and I'll need you to be here to learn all about it, when the boys and I do. Can you make it then, Todd?" asked Mr. Ken.
"Mr. Ken, do you need me to be here too?" quickly asked Ryan.
"No, I don't need you to be here, but you can stop on over if you want. Todd's the new Beach Master and he'll definitely need to be here," replied Ryan's Big Bro.
Ryan smiled at his Big Bro and then he nodded to Todd to follow and they exited through the Foyer entrance.
"Well, boys ... I guess you are going to have your sleep over. Robert and Eric are old hands at this so, Charles and Camm, if you have any questions just ask them," offered 'dad' Ken, who then walked towards his Study.
"Okay ... what do we do now?" innocently asked Camm.
"Well," began Robert, "first we usually figure out where we are going to sleep, but seeing it is only the four of us, Eric will sleep in my extra bed and Camm can sleep in yours, Charles."
"What do you do when you have a large group?" asked Camm.
"When we have a big group, we usually know well in advance so they can bring their sleeping bags. Then, we decide where we'll sleep. We usually wind up on the floor in the Theater," replied Eric.
"What else do you usually do?" asked Charles.
"We always seem to go swimming, don't we Eric?" smirked Robert. "Then, we usually have a midnight snack before going to bed."
"Well, let's go swimming then. I think it would be fun to swim late at night," offered Charles.
"You just want to skinny-dip, don't you?" laughed Robert.
"Well ... that too," laughed Charles, and the other boys joined in.
The lads' quickly headed to the pool dressing room to get ready to swim. Charles and Camm stuck together as did Robert and Eric. The boys took off all their clothes and then the now naked lads headed out onto the pool deck to place their clothes in a locker. Robert then told his 'brother' and Camm they should have their swimsuits out on the side of the pool, in case someone comes down.
Eric then told them how Ryan and his friends skinny-dipped with them one winter night and his mom came down to the pool and caught them all skinny-dipping. The thirteen-year-old told how the older teens didn't have suits so Ryan got out and walked naked to his mom to explain. Eric explained how Ms. Mary laughed at her son and said that was the first time she'd seen him naked since he was twelve. All four boys had a big laugh over that story.
With the story told, the four lads all got their swimsuits and placed them on the side of the pool, then they all jumped into the water. They splashed and swam; they jumped off the rock but covered their dangly parts against being smacked against the water; they played dick tag and then horse. That's when things began to 'grow'.
"Hey, stop poking me with that thing, will ya," teased Charles.
"I can't help it. You're moving your head back and forth and it's tickling my dick and it just grew," explained Camm.
Robert and Eric laughed at the other two until Eric said the same thing about Robert. That said, Robert promptly jumped off Eric's shoulders and splashed him and then grabbed Eric's equally hardened phallus.
"Hey, what's big idea?" laughed Eric.
"Yours is as hard as the rest of us," countered Robert.
That exchange made Charles and Camm laugh now. Then, all four lads were laughing.
"Is this what happens when all your friends' skinny dip?" asked Charles.
Robert took the question and replied, "Well, no, not really. Sometimes they have but other times nobody gets a boner when they swim. I think it happens when we play dick tag, mostly. The first time I skinny dipped I know I got a boner and so did Eric. But, I think after we swam naked a few more times we didn't get a boner unless we actually wanted to."
"Then, why today?" asked Camm.
"Well, we were playing dick tag some, but when I get on Eric's shoulders and he moved his head back and forth, like Charles did to you; it tickled my little guy, which then made him a happy big guy," laughed Robert, as he responded to the question.
"What do you do about them, your boners, I mean?" further asked Camm.
"Most of the time when we are with the guys we just leave them alone and they eventually go down. Then, sometimes, 'dad' comes into the pool area and the guys dive into the pool and their dick's go soft almost immediately," explained a laughing Eric, this time.
"Did 'dad' ever catch you with a boner?" now asked Charles.
Robert looked at Eric and Eric looked back at Robert and with a nod, Robert responded to Charles question. "Yes ... ahh, 'dad' DID catch us with our dicks hard."
"The both of you at the same time ...what did you do, then?" quickly asked Charles.
Again, Robert looked to Eric and getting another nod, Robert said, "We ... ahh ... we were asleep when he saw us. We didn't know until a little later that he saw us."
"You were asleep on the pool deck?" asked an astonished Charles. "Boy, you guys must have had a real good jack-off session for you to fall asleep down here!"
"We ... ahh ... we weren't down here on the pool deck, we ... ahh ... we were in my bed," sincerely replied Robert.
Upon hearing that, both Charles and Camm got surprised looks on their faces, which then turned into a slight smile, trailed quickly by a large grin and finally followed by hearty belly laughs.
Robert and Eric were surprised by the other two boys reactions to what Robert told them about being found not only naked in Robert's bed, but asleep. Then, the more they thought of how it all happened, they began to smile which led to a big grin and finally belly laughs, too.
The four lads were all laughing at the funny story and, as they did, Camm looked down at their appendages and he saw something he never figured would happen and told his friends. "Hey, guys ... don't look now, but ... our boners ... they've gone down."
Charles, Robert, and Eric all looked down at the same time and that made them all break out laughing some more. Even Camm saw the irony in it and began laughing, too. It was while they were laughing that 'dad' Ken came into the pool area and saw the four lads standing around naked and laughing.
"What's all this laughing about?" asked Mr. Ken.
Charles and Camm immediately covered their boy parts, while Robert and Eric just stood there.
Robert replied, "Nothing 'dad'. Really! We were just talking about things and they were funny and, well, after we thought about them some more, we thought they were funnier than we thought they were. That's when you found us. What brings you down here 'dad'?"
"Well, I didn't come down here to watch four naked boys standing around, that's for sure," laughed Mr. Ken. "What I did came down to see was how Charles was enjoying his skinny dipping," now laughed 'dad' Ken. "Well?" asked Mr. Ken.
Charles stood there with his mouth wide open at what his foster dad was asking. He knew he needed to answer the man and when he did so, he unconsciously dropped his hands away from his 'boy parts' and started to respond. It was then he realized his hands no longer covered his most precious things. He looked down when he did and then he looked up at Mr. Ken. He wasn't sure if he should cry at being so exposed, or he should laugh at being naked in front of the man. Then, the thought of a naked Robert and Eric being caught in Robert's bed, both with boners, and he began to laugh. His laughter was contagious to the other four people standing there and they all had a good laugh.
Charles, then, through his laughter, said, "'Dad', I love it! I never really thought about skinny dipping, ever before, but now that I've tried it ... I know I'll love to do it as much as I can. I can do it some more can't I?"
"Yes, and my bet is you're going to do it with these 'thick as thieves' 'brothers' of yours, and probably a couple of your close friends, when you make them. Now, Charles, and you too Camm, you heard me tell the boys the other night about going out and telling all your friends that I allow you guys to swim naked. I really and truly do not mind that you do that, but lots of adults will not understand that it is almost like a 'rite of passage' for boys, and they will cause as much trouble for me as they could. I want you to understand that if the wrong people ..."
"You mean like Mildred Johnston's church group?" added Eric.
"Yes ... if Mildred or any of the people who attend that church were ever to find out, there will be a shit load of problems not just for me but especially for Robert and, you too, Charles. You could possibly be taken away from me, forever. And, maybe I shouldn't allow you kids to do that, but ... I don't stand around here watching you boys and there are no cameras here, so I don't feel I am doing anything wrong. This is just an extension of all you kids taking showers together, but are in the pool instead I don't even like coming into the pool area knowing that I will most likely find you guys naked.
"So, Charles and Camm, I will ask you to just enjoy being able to be kids, while you are, and just keep some of the good fun to yourselves. And, when you make more friends Charles, I'd be very careful about telling them or even letting them skinny dip before you know them as good as Robert knows Eric, here, and all the lads he's skateboarded for months. You know what I mean here Charles? Camm?" finished up Mr. Ken.
"Yes, 'dad', err Mr. Ken ... I know what you're saying and I will be careful about even mentioning skinny dipping to any of them," replied Charles.
"Mr. Ken ... I understand, too. You've allowed me to enjoy things that I never thought I'd ever get to do and I sure don't want to ruin anything Charles or Robert has here, And, I sure don't want them to be taken away, either. Charles is the first real friend I've ever had," offered Camm.
"Thank you, Camm, and you too, Charles. Now ... do you lads know what time it is?" asked Mr. Ken.
Charles quickly looked up at the pool clock and said, "Yes, it's 11:30."
Mr. Ken reached over and rustled the lad's hair and said, "Yes, my smart-alecky 'son', and I think it is time you boys got to bed. We have Mr. Gray coming by at about 10 AM and I want you four up and ready when he gets here. You all look dry, so gather up your dry swim suits and go and at least put on your underwear and carry the rest of your clothes up to your rooms."
The lads looked around at one another and then Charles said, "Yes, sir. Anyways, I do feel kinda tired now that we've been out of the water, some. Come on Camm, let's do what Mr. Ken said and go up to my room."
Camm followed Charles as he walked over to his swimsuit and pick it up and then headed to his locker. Charles and, then, Camm both put on their underwear and gathered up the rest of their clothes and started up to Charles' bedroom. Seeing that Charles and Camm were ready to go upstairs, Robert and Eric hastily picked their suits off the pool deck, put their boxer briefs on, and gathered up their remaining clothes. They quickly followed the other boys out the pool door and went upstairs, too.
Ken Thomas knew he'd unleashed a monster by allowing the lads to skinny-dip, but he wanted the boys to enjoy a part of growing up that way too many boys never get the chance to explore and enjoy. He knew that many Scandinavian countries were more liberal when it came to nakedness around the home and at swimming pools and he wished the people in America weren't so prudish about the naked body. He then shook his head and headed up to his own bedroom and a good night's sleep.
