Another Chance - Book One
Chapter Three: Colby and Kunoichi
By Zarek Dragon
Jim checked his email as Zac stripped to his boxers and climbed into bed. After Jim shut down his Outlook, he climbed into bed and nestled against Zac. "I love you, and you don't have to pretend to be asleep if you want to do anything," Jim said.
"I love you, too," Zac whispered and kissed the back of Jim's ear.
"Great, just great," Jim said, sitting up and feigning being upset.
"What's wrong Dude?" Zac said wondering what was bothering Jim.
"I tell you that I love you and you tell me that you love some band that's been around before we were born," Jim explained acting like he was really upset.
"What? All I said was I love you..." Zac stopped. "OH, Dude, I meant that I love you too as in also, not the number two." Jim was just smiling.
"I used to pull that on my girlfriend I had last year. She never did really figure it out and eventually told me that I was just too weird for her and she dumped me," Jim explained.
"Her loss." Zac said smiling. "I love you, also."
They went to sleep around midnight and woke up around five. Zac had his arm around Jim's waist holding him tight and started nibbling on Jim's ear. "If you're hungry, we can take a shower then go figure out what to fix for breakfast," Jim said.
"No, I'm good. This ear taste pretty good. I can't wait to get to the lips," Zac joked. Jim rolled over as best he could.
"You don't have to wait. You're always welcome to taste my lips," Jim offered. Zac kissed him and they got up.
After they ate breakfast, Zac went across the street wearing just his jeans. He carried the rest of his clothes.
When he came back over (since his truck was still in the Bolts' driveway), he was wearing black 517 Levi's, a white western shirt with a navy yoke, his black cowboy boots and a black Stetson. Jim could smell Stetson cologne on him as well.
"Don't you look hot, and I love the smell of Stetson," Jim said.
"Well, see there's this guy that goes to our school. He's a grade behind me, but I think he is so attractive. I think he's in all your classes, too," Zac smiled.
"I know he's in all my classes. And you needn't dress up to get him, you could go to school naked and you'd have him," Jim blurted out not fully realizing exactly what he just said.
"I hope he likes me naked. I mean, I'm no Taylor Lautner, but…" Zac grinned.
"No, you're better than Taylor. I mean, he's a very attractive guy and if he came here and told me he was gay and wanted me, I wouldn't turn him down, but that's not gonna happen. I don't even know if he's gay or not."
"So you'd dump me for Taylor?" Zac said looking genuinely hurt.
"Not in a million years. I said that you're better than Taylor," Jim walked over to Zac, put his arms around him and went to kiss him.
"Got you," Zac said before Jim could kiss him. "I have to admit, if I never met you and Taylor wanted to date me, I'd definitely date him too, but given the choice, I'd choose you any day."
"I love you so much," Jim said.
"I love you," Zac paused, "also. Ready to head to school."
"Can I drive?"
"Only if you have a driver's license," Zac stated.
At school Dusty and Michael were talking when Jim walked in. They called him over, "Dude, we were talking about your house and that big back yard. I hope you don't have any plans after school, because you are coming with us."
"I have to let Zac know so he doesn't wonder where I am since he's my ride," Jim said.
"Bring him, too," Michael offered.
"Will Cheyenne be joining us, too?" Jim asked.
"Maybe, but I haven't asked her or told her anything about it," Dusty said.
"Where are we going?" Jim's curiosity was getting the best of him.
"Can't tell you. It's a surprise," Dusty responded.
"And you couldn't wait to tell me? Now, I'll be distracted in all my classes," Jim acted upset but Dusty just laughed.
First class was algebra. Everyone was surprised when the teacher told them to pull out a sheet of paper and put everything else away. After everyone did, he started handing out packets to each student. "Beside your name, write the number at the top of this packet. This will tell me which answer sheet to use as there are four different copies of this test and chances are, your neighbor won't have the same as you. You have until the end of class to finish. Once you're done you are free to leave the room. Do not write on the test itself. We don't want to print this any more than we have to do so."
Jim started filling out his answers and was smiling the whole time. When he finished his test, he walked up to turn it in. "You still have plenty of time, Mr. Bolt, if you'd like to double check you work," The teacher advised.
"No, I'm good," Jim said.
"I can check this immediately if you'd like to know how you did," the teacher offered. He looked at the number by Jim's name and pulled out the answer sheet. He skimmed through Jim's paper with the answer sheet beside it. When he was done, he wrote a zero at the top of Jim's paper and Jim's heart sank. Then the teacher smiled and wrote a one and another zero. "Well done. Not sure what changed, but I definitely like this you better than the one I had to give that F. And you seem happier."
"I am happier. Thank you, sir, and from now on, I promise, you will see my best effort," Jim said.
"That's all I ask, well that and if you are struggling to understand, come see me so we can figure something out."
Dusty was behind Jim. He congratulated Jim on the perfect score. "Mr. Bear, another perfect score for you, but you better stay on your toes. This young man may give you a challenge for best grade in the class," the teacher advised after checking Dusty's test.
"I'm not worried, and if he does beat me, I'd be happy for him," Dusty said.
"You, I can believe that, and thank you for not letting him push you away." Dusty smiled at the praise.
Jim and Dusty grabbed their stuff and walked out of the classroom. "So, where are we going after school?" Jim asked.
Dusty laughed. "I'm not telling you. And don't ask Cheyenne in third period. She doesn't even know anything about it yet."
"But you have class with her next period. And I'm sure you'll say something to her."
"Nope, I'm going to wait until lunch," Dusty said.
The day was dragging for Jim. It felt like it was taking forever just getting to lunch. He made sure he sat with Dusty. Cheyenne came over and sat with them. "Hey Chey, Michael and I are taking Jim someplace as a surprise after school." He looked at Jim and smiled, "You want to join us?"
"Sure, I'd be happy to go with you. Is it the place we were talking about as we left Jim's new house last night?"
"That would be it," Dusty said.
"You set all this up just to torture me, didn't you?" Jim said. Dusty just laughed.
Zac walked over and sat beside Jim, "Caught Michael in the hall. He says that we're taking Jim somewhere after school."
"Yeah, and they won't tell me where. I decided that I'm not going," Jim said.
"Yes you are, if I have to tie you up and kidnap you." Zac said.
"Ooooo, kinky much?" Jim teased.
"You trust me?" Zac asked.
"You know the answer to that," Jim stated.
"Then trust me, either you are going to love this trip or it'll break your heart. And that's all I am saying," Zac informed.
"Well, I have a full vehicle, so either you or Michael will need to drive. Jim's going with me so I can make sure he's blindfolded on the way there," Dusty said.
"I'll drive, then Jim can ride home with me after," Zac offered.
"Hmmm, wanting to tie me up and blindfold me. You're not going to take me out someplace and strip me, are you?" Jim asked.
"That is a thought," Zac said laughing. The bell rang letting everyone know that lunch was over.
It was the last class for the day, it was their P.E. class. Jim was getting anxious to find out where Dusty was taking him. The football coach was the instructor for class. "I'm passing around permission slips. Make sure you take them home and get them signed. We are going out to a ranch on Thursday. Also, if you rely on the bus to come and go to school, you will need to find transportation home that day as we will be there until after the busses leave here. IF you have to, you may leave at the time school lets out, but those that want to may stay longer. Any questions?"
"What ranch are we going to?" Dusty asked.
"That one over off Trail Creek Road, it's called Another Chance," Coach Jenkins said.
"Isn't that where you work, Jim?" Michael asked.
"Yeah, though I've only worked one day so far," Jim answered.
"Cool, so I'll get to meet Gold?" Dusty asked.
"That is where he's at," Jim started.
"Something, you boys would like to share with the class?" Coach Jenkins asked.
"We were just asking Jim about Another Chance. He works there and has a horse stabled out there," Dusty offered.
"Is that right. Well, we'll be riding horses on a trail, I'm guessing your horse will be your mount."
A boy named Shawn raised his hand and Coach called on him. "We're just riding horses, so we won't need our PE clothes, will we?"
"Glad you asked that. Part of the property is on Newton Lakes. That's where we'll be riding. You may want to bring swimming trunks unless you want to skinny-dip. It'll only be guys there, so I don't care either way. Not like you haven't seen each other in the showers. The owner will be cooking half a cow so if your families want to show up after four, they're welcome to stay and eat. At that time, skinny-dipping will no longer be an option."
"Sounds like a lot of fun, Dad," A boy Jim knew as Dylan said.
"I hope so. School gave permission to do this but it isn't paying for it, I am, so anything you boys can provide to help will be appreciated, but not necessary."
"Is Jackson giving you any discount?" Jim asked.
"You mean the owner, Jackson Sprayberry? Yeah, he's cut the cost way down, but still $225 on a coach's salary is a lot of money at one shot. Considering we'll have twenty-two people there counting me and one other chaperone, and that covers use of twenty-two horses, a hand to act as a guide, plus the food, that's not bad."
"Guys, if we all gave $10, then Coach would basically only have to pay for him, the other chaperone, and Dylan's way. What do you think?" Michael suggested.
"That would be nice, but don't feel that you have to. If you can afford it, again, it will be appreciated, but if you can't, don't fret, and don't let that be a reason to not go," Coach said.
The discussion of going to the ranch took the entire class. When it let out, Michael and Dusty took Jim to Dusty's car. It was a 2013 Dodge Challenger. Zac and Cheyenne came out a few minutes later. Michael and Cheyenne got in the back seat. Dusty took out a black piece of cloth and blindfolded Jim. "You have your fuzzy pink handcuffs, Chey?" Dusty asked.
"Sounding even kinkier here," Jim joked.
Dusty guided Jim into the passenger seat and fastened his seatbelt. Then Jim felt the cuffs being placed on his wrists and felt them being pulled down. Dusty secured them so Jim couldn't raise his hands to move the blindfold. As he walked around to the driver side, he told Zac to follow him.
Jim wasn't sure how far they went, but Dusty drove for fifteen minutes. He took several turns so Jim had no clue which way they were heading. Jim felt the car pulling off to the right a little and stopping. He didn't know if they were on the side of a rode or where they were. "This looks like a good spot. Chey, you get his shirt and Michael and I will get his pants," Dusty joked.
Jim was hoping that Dusty was just kidding as he seemed very friendly so far, but he really didn't know. He trusted that Zac wouldn't let them do anything. Everyone got out of the car on Dusty's side, then came around and helped Jim out. Dusty guided Jim someplace then instructed Jim to sit on the ground.
With a little help, Jim sat down and Dusty removed the handcuffs. "Don't take the blindfold off. Your surprise is on its way."
Jim was listening to see if he could tell what the surprise was with his ears. He thought he heard the whimpering of little puppies and started to cry. This made him think of Shadow. 
Suddenly he felt a tongue licking his face. "Zac, not here, there are people watching," Jim joked. Another tongue started licking his ear. Jim couldn't help it, he had to take the blindfold off. He was surrounded by puppies, all labs, some were black and some were yellow. Two were licking him and the rest were just running around.
"Your mom gave us permission to get you a puppy, but she said that you have to clean up after it. Which one do you want?"
Jim looked around at the puppies and was having a tough time choosing. He knew that he wanted one of the two that licked him as they seemed drawn to him whereas the others didn't. "The black one looks an awful lot like Shadow, even acts like she did at that age, but I also like the yellow one."
"Well, we're looking for good homes for all of them, if you can keep both, you're more than welcome to them," The owner said.
"Really, I like both of them. I'm just not sure what Mom will say if I take both."
"We'll take both, if his mom says he can only keep one, my mom and I were talking about getting a puppy too," Zac said.
"Well, the black one is female and the yellow one is male. Unless you want them to have puppies later, you may want to take precaution."
"If they do, will their puppies be weird? Aren't they siblings?" Jim asked.
"No, they have different parents, so, that won't be an issue."
Jim had tears running down his face. "Shadow would be happy for you," Zac said.
"I know, these tears aren't sad tears, but happy remembering how much Shadow loved me. Happy that I have such good friends. And happy that I feel so loved," Jim stated.
"You are loved. So what are you naming them?" Zac asked as he put the puppies in the truck.
"Shouldn't we wait to see if I can keep both of them?" Jim asked.
"No, they are both yours, but if your mom won't let you keep them, I'll keep one for you. But he or she will still be yours."
"Yeah, are you naming the black one Shadow? You said she acts just like her," Dusty asked.
"No, there's no replacing Shadow, so she can't have the same name. The black one will be Kunoichi and the yellow one will be Colby." Jim said.
"Kunoichi?? Michael repeated, "What is that?"
"It's a female ninja," Jim stated.
"Oh, I get it, she's a female and black," Michael said.
"Thanks guys. This was a great surprise. I'm glad I finally allowed myself to have friends like you," Jim said with more tears running down his face.
"I think I'm buying stock in tissues," Dusty kidded.
"Sorry, I've just never been this moved with emotion," Jim apologized.
"Don't be sorry, Dude. You've been hurting for so long. I think your heart is just starting to heal. Speaking of which, my dad says that you haven't called yet," Dusty said.
"I know, with moving and everything, we wanted to wait. Mom was planning to call today to set up an appointment for next week. Personally, I think the puppies were the last piece I needed to be whole again, but it won't hurt to talk to your dad and see what he thinks."
"Well, you can always talk to me, and I'm a lot cheaper than my dad," Dusty joked.
"Can always talk to me, too, and I only charge hugs and kisses," Zac said with a smile.
Cheyenne looked at Jim, "You can talk with any of us here. We are all your friends and want you to be happy."
"And right now, I am happier than I have ever been. Only thing that could make me happier would be a hug from all of you."
"Group hug," Michael demanded. Everyone moved in and hugged Jim. Then Dusty, Cheyenne, and Michael got in Dusty's car while Jim and Zac started getting in Zac's truck. One of the puppies pooped on the floor. Jim took a tissue and carefully picked it up and took it to a trash can.
When they got to Jim's house, Jim grabbed one puppy and Zac grabbed the other. They took them out to the backyard. Heather came home a few minutes after they got there. Jim ran to his mom and took her out back. The puppies were playing together. "Two puppies? The one resembles Shadow so much."
"Doesn't she? I think that was Shadow's way of telling me it was alright," Jim said. "Can I keep them both? If not, Zac said that he would keep one of them."
"As long as you clean up after them, and take care of them, you can. I'll help with feeding them, other than that, they are your responsibility."
"Thanks, Mom. You are the best," Jim said hugging her.
"So, have you named them?" Heather asked.
"Yep, Kunoichi and Colby," Jim said.
"Like the cheese? I guess that's the yellow one."
"And Kunoichi means…" Jim started before his mom interrupted him.
"I know, I watched all those ninja movies with you, and I'm the one who took you to your martial art classes. Remember?" Heather said.
"And now that I'll have money, I'd like to start taking them again," Jim asked.
"Between school, working at the ranch, and these puppies, will you have time?
"I can do one day a week to start and see how things go," Jim suggested.
"It's up to you, but you can't let your school work suffer and you have to take care of these puppies. Understand?"
"I love you, Mom," Jim said hugging her again.
"And you have an appointment Monday right after school with Dr. Bear. You going to need me to give you a ride?"
"No, either I or Dusty will make sure he has a ride," Zac offered.
"Speaking of rides. Thursday, our gym class is going out to Another Chance. Family is welcome to come after four and we're having a cookout. I also need you to sign this permission slip," Jim said.
Heather glanced over it and signed it. Jim hugged her again as his eyes started tearing up. "I have one more favor, Mom. Can I borrow some money to get pet supplies? I'll pay you back when I get my first check."
"Tell you what, you unload my car, and I'll give you money to get another cage," Heather stated with a slight smirk.
"Another? Don't we need one before we can get another?" Jim asked.
"Just go unload my car," she chuckled.
Jim walked out to the car and there was a fifty-pound bag of Puppy Chow, a bag with a blue collar and leash as well as toys, and a dog cage. Jim unloaded it and his Mom handed him a fifty-dollar bill. "This isn't a loan, and there should be enough for another collar and leash as well. Anything left is yours."
Jim's eyes started watering again. "I think I agree with Dusty. I'm really gonna need to invest in tissues," Zac said.
All the students chipped in to help pay for their visit to the ranch, and they all enjoyed themselves. Jim was proud as he showed Gold to Dusty and Michael. Coach Jenkins admired the beautiful stallion. He asked Jim if he could ride the horse. Jackson came up. "I'm sorry, but from what I can tell, Gold only let's Jim ride him. I can't allow you to try while on my property. I hope you understand."
"I do, you're afraid that I might get injured and you're looking out for your business."
"I'm glad. So, I hope everyone enjoys their day. The food will be ready around four. That gives you two hours to get to the lake and have fun," Jackson announced as he rode off.
Coach Jenkins looked at Jim. "You really do have a fine looking animal there. I would have loved to ride him, but if you're the only one who has, I understand."
"Thanks, Coach. From what I understand, when I had to sell him, he kept throwing the new owners. They sold him to Jackson and Jackson is selling him back to me. As long as I'm around, I don't know if he'd let someone else ride him or not."
"Well, I'm no expert. I have ridden a few times, but I'm not a real cowboy. I guess it's best if I don't try," Coach said as he squeezed Jim's shoulder.
The boys were all taking care of the horses they would ride. Ranch hands were assisting to make sure everything was right, but they let the boys do it to get a better appreciation of riding horses. Jim worked on saddling Gold and another horse. As they were finishing getting the horses ready, Zac pulled up. His last class was study hall, so he was permitted to leave early so he could help the PE class at the ranch.
As Zac got out of the truck, he had a fur ball in each hand. Jim chuckled. Zac handed Jim the puppies and got on the black stallion Jim prepared for him. Then Jim handed the yellow lab to Zac. "I thought they'd enjoy being out here by the lake, too."
"I'm sure they will. You going skinny-dipping?"
"Maybe, you're probably hoping, aren't you?" Zac chuckled.
"What can I say, I love you so much and you have an amazing body," Jim kissed Zac and some of the boys commented about getting a room, but nobody made a rude remark about two guys kissing.
They rode out to the lake and got off the horses. Zac and Jim put leashes on the puppies. Shawn walked up to Jim, "Just so you know, I don't mind you being gay. I know you won't try anything with me as I have a gay cousin. All I ask is that I not see or hear about you two having sex."
"Actually, I'm bi-, but don't worry, we're not even having sex yet. We just kiss," Jim stated.
"Kissing, I don't mind. You love who you love, and that's all that matters. You may want to be careful, though. Not everyone at school feels that way," Shawn warned.
"Thanks, Shawn, I'm sure I'll come across some homophobes eventually. It'd be nice if everyone were more like this class."
Shawn walked away and Dusty approached Jim. "What was that all about?"
"Shawn just giving some friendly advice. He said that he doesn't mind Zac and me kissing, but doesn't want to see us having sex. He also warned me to be careful, that not everyone is as accepting."
"He is right about that. I think most of this class is, but last year, a senior put a boy in the hospital for being gay. He nearly killed the boy. We had a whole month of lectures against bullying and hating."
"Oh, man. What happened to the senior?" Jim asked.
"He went to jail. He was eighteen so they tried him as an adult and he was given twenty years. Bet it didn't take long before someone made him their bitch."
"Well, either that'll make him hate gays more, or he'll learn to enjoy it," Jim laughed.
Dusty whispered, "Just curious, and if you don't want to answer, that's fine, but have you ever, you know, up your?" Dusty made gestures hoping Jim would understand what he was asking.
Jim laughed at Dusty's antics. "No, all I seem to get done is kissing. I've thought about it, even more since I met Zac. Have you ever had sex?"
"Shhhh," Dusty waved his hand. "No, Chey is only fifteen and I turned sixteen right after school started. We've talked about it, but we want to wait. We don't want to take a chance of her getting pregnant until after we graduate. You know what they say, abstinence is the only guaranteed form of protection."
"That or same sex," Jim smiled. "I can understand wanting to wait. And I'm sure when you do finally do it, it'll be special for both of you."
"I hope so. I love Cheyenne and hope to marry her eventually, but we're only in high school and who knows what'll happen in three years, not to mention college."
"Well, at least you're being smart about it. I hope you and Cheyenne stay together forever, Dude," Jim said.
Some of the boys went skinny-dipping, Zac being among them. Jim slipped out of his clothes and joined them. Just before four, Coach Jenkins told them that if they wanted to continue swimming they had to put on shorts as the families could be showing up any minute.
Right at four, Heather pulled up. Jim saw her and ran over to her. Zac, Dusty and Michael greeted her, too. "Mrs. Bolt, you come to check out the cookout before we do ours on Saturday?" Jackson asked her.
"Please, if I'm going to call you Jackson, you can call me Heather. What can I say? Jim invited me to come out and I'll do anything I can to make him happy," Heather said.
"Well, Heather, you have an awesome son. He and Zac met a week ago this coming Saturday, and in the time I've known Zac, I've never seen him happier."
"That's what I said about Jim, only I've known him all his life," Heather said smiling. Jackson smiled back.
"Mark my words, those two will be together until death do they part," Jackson said.
"Yes, I believe that. I hope so as Jim so needed Zac."
"And Zac needed Jim. Listen, this is where we'll be doing the cookout on Saturday. Would you have a problem if the boys spent the night out here? It would only be the two of them and I think it would be good for them. Security will be close enough that they needn't worry and will be safe."
"You sound almost like you're Zac's father setting him up on a date," Heather kidded.
"Well, I try to look after everyone that works for me like a father would his child, so I guess I do come across that way sometimes. I'm just saying that if you and Zac's mom don't have a problem with it, they have my permission to camp out here. Won't be long until we start getting heavy snows."
"No wonder Jim likes it here so much. Only worked two days so far and you would think he'd been working here forever. He talks so much about you," Heather stated.
"Well, believe it or not, since Jim's been helping Zac, they've put out three times as much work as when it was Zac alone. Not saying Jim's been doing twice the work, but Zac's been so much happier that he's working harder, too."
"I'm so glad. And if they want to camp out Saturday night, they have my permission."
"Good, I'll suggest it to the boys unless you want to," Jackson said.
"No, you can," Heather offered. About that time, Jim and Zac ran over to them.
"Mom, you should see the puppies and Gold. They look like they're chatting about something," Jim chimed.
"I bet that's cute. What are they saying?" Heather kidded.
"I don't know, I don't speak puppy or horse," Jim declared.
"Listen, boys. I've already asked your moms about this Saturday after the cookout, I thought you might like to spend the night here camping," Jackson suggested.
"Who all will be here?" Zac asked.
"Just the two of you. Like I just told Mrs. Bolt, or I mean, Heather, Security will be close enough if you need them, but it'll just be the two of you."
"Means we might be late on Sunday," Jim said.
"What do you mean late? You'll already be here. Just make sure you come over to take care of the horses and help unload the truck, and rest of the day will be yours."
"Sounds like it could be fun. I'm game if Jim is," Zac responded.
"Yeah, sure. I always liked camping with my dad. And we can bring the puppies," Jim said.
"Great, just bring whatever you want to wear, I'll have a hand set the tent and everything else up," Jackson offered.
Jim pulled his mom aside so no one could hear them talking. "Mom, Zac and I haven't done anything but kiss so far. I won't lie and say that I've not wanted to do something more. When we're alone camping, what if…" Jim started not sure how to finish what he was thinking.
"I know what you're saying. First, I don't approve of it, but I know there is a chance of the two of you having sex. Just know that I love you no matter what. Just do what you think is best. I like Zac and see how much you really love each other. I hope you two are together for the rest of your lives. Like I said, I don't really approve, but as long as you give your virginity to someone you really love…"
"I love you, Mom," Jim said putting his arms around her. Jim ran back to Zac and they grabbed a couple plates of food. The puppies kept staring at them. Jim would drop pieces of beef once in a while, but made sure they were small enough and was only meat.
As bones were cleaned, Jackson would leave them on the ground for the puppies to gnaw on. The puppies were enjoying themselves as much as the boys. It was going to start getting dark within the hour and those still there rode the horses back to the stables. Jim, Zac, Dusty, and a few other boys helped take care of the horses and putting them away. Then they headed home.
Jim spent the night at Zac's. It was a school night, but since he was right across the street, neither mom worried too much about that. The puppies went wherever they went.
"I don't know what will happen Saturday," Jim started, "but I wanted to let you know that whatever does, I think I'm ready."
"I don't know either. I just know that I think of you as my best friend. I love you, and you are definitely the one I want to spend my life with," Zac declared.
Jim kissed Zac as he slowly unbuttoned Zac's shirt. As it slid down Zac's arms, Jim kissed Zac's neck. Jim worked his lips down to Zac's nipples and his tongue played for a while. He undid Zac's belt and opened his fly. Standing straight up, Jim looked back into Zac's eyes. "I want to, you know…" Jim whispered.
"I'd like that," Zac whispered back.
Jim slid Zac's jeans down and Zac stepped out of them. Getting on his knees, with a little apprehension he slid Zac's boxers down. Jim started stroking Zac's cock. Zac laid down on the bed and Jim took his cock in his mouth. When Jim tried taking the whole thing, he gagged so he backed off a bit. Zac was stroking Jim's hair. Jim used his hands and took as much of Zac's eight inches as he could.
Being it was the first head Zac had ever been given, he didn't last long. Jim swallowed everything that he could. When he was done, he crawled up the bed to kiss Zac. "Wow that was awesome," Zac whispered as he put his arms around Jim. "What was it like for you?"
"Other than when I gagged, I liked it. You tasted a lot like mine when I jerk off, just slightly different," Jim said kissing Zac.
"Well, I'm glad you gave me my first blow job. I want to eventually give you one, but I don't think I'm ready."
"That's fine. I don't want you to do anything you're not ready for. And I want you to enjoy it when you do," Jim said.
"Well, I know that you can do that again any time you like."
"Saturday," Jim whispered, "I think I'd really like to feel you inside me. I know it'll hurt, but I love you so much. I don't think it'll be nearly as painful as my yearning for you to do it."
"I love you, too, but we'll have to see what happens," Zac said. "We can pick up some lube tomorrow just in case."
"You…" Jim started but the puppies started yipping at the side of the bed. Jim got up and picked them up. He tossed them onto the bed and they attacked Zac with their tongues. Jim laughed and started undressing to go to bed.
Jim got in bed and snuggled as close to Zac as he could. The puppies went to the foot of the bed and went to sleep. Zac looked at Jim. "I hope they don't wet my bed, or anything else. If they do, care to guess who gets to clean it?"
"Ummmm, Dusty?" Jim kidded.
"Dusty didn't put them in my bed," Zac said kissing Jim. "I hope they wake one of us up if they have to go to the bathroom, but they are just puppies, so…" Just then, Kunoichi walked up behind Zac's head and laid on his pillow. She rested her head on Zac's neck.
Jim giggled as he felt her tongue on his neck every now and then. "I just hope they don't go on us," Jim laughed.
It was four in the morning when Colby started whining. Jim got up, slipped on his shorts and took him outside. Jim no sooner put him down and Colby ran to find a tree. When Colby was done, Jim carried him back upstairs telling him how good he was. He got to the room and Zac was standing up.
"You should have seen him..." Jim said before Zac cut him off.
"Well, it would have been wiser to take both with you. Look at your pillow," Zac said. "And it really stinks, I mean it's bad."
Jim looked and there was a turd laying on his pillow. He carefully picked the pillow up and dropped the turd in the toilet. Next, he removed the pillow case and threw it in the hamper. There was a spot that seeped through to the pillow. Jim took a washcloth and washed the pillow best that he could. He came out of the bathroom as Zac was coming back in from taking Kunoichi out.
"Well, it seeped to the pillow, so I washed it best I could. It's wet so I definitely can't sleep on it any more tonight," Jim sighed.
"So you using a puppy as a pillow?" Zac laughed.
"No, I think I'm up for the day, but it's going to be a long day."
"We don't have to go to the ranch today if you don't want. I mean, only days we are actually scheduled is Saturday and Sunday. Through the week, we just show up when we can and we do whatever still needs done."
"Well, we were there a big part of yesterday and we'll be there all day tomorrow. Do you mind if we don't go out today?" Jim asked.
"Babe, all I care about is you. When we get out of school. I'll take you to your house, tuck you into bed and I'll watch the puppies while you sleep."
"Hmmm, that would feel nice, but I don't think I'll be ready for bed that early. Would you be upset if I went on home and started getting ready for school? We need to take the puppies over and put them in their cages eventually. If it would upset you, I know something that we could do for the next half hour or so. We'll only need your pillow."
"I wouldn't be upset, but I don't think I would mind if you're thinking what I think you are, either," Zac said kissing Jim. Zac slid his shorts off that he had used to take Kunoichi outside. Then he laid back down.
Jim laid beside him and they started kissing. Jim's right hand started stroking Zac's member slowly. Zac moaned into Jim's mouth. Jim didn't waste time and moved down so he could engulf his lover's cock. He was able to take more into his mouth this time, but he still had to use his right hand to help keep from gagging. With his left hand, Jim alternated between playing with Zac's balls and rubbing his pucker.
"Don't get me wrong, Jim. I really enjoy this, but are we moving a little fast? Tomorrow will only be a week since we met," Zac asked as he enjoyed Jim sucking on his cock.
Jim stopped long enough to respond. "We might be, but I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't feel how I do for you. I want us to be together for the rest of our lives. I've always considered myself bi-, but when I'm with you, I have no feelings like that for anyone else. When I am with you, I am totally gay," As Jim spoke, Zac saw nothing but love in his eyes. Jim went back to sucking Zac's cock.
"I suppose when you're with the right person, you just know. I'm just afraid that if we move to quickly, we'll burn out and I never want you to get bored with me. I don't want a whirlwind romance and you be gone from my life. We have our whole lives to enjoy each other."
"You keep making me talk, I'll never get done," Jim chuckled as he stopped again just long enough to talk. "And I don't think I could ever get bored of you. I have no plans of ever leaving you. You heard my mom, you make me the happiest I've ever been. Now, quit making me talk so I can make you happy," Jim smiled.
"You make me happy just being with me. This..." Zac motioned towards his dick. "You giving me head, is just a bonus." Zac didn't say any more. He just enjoyed the feeling of Jim edging him over the top. Zac finally shot his load just minutes before his alarm went off to start getting ready for school.
Jim and Zac took their shower and got dressed. With them working together, breakfast was done in no time. While they ate Zac told his mom about what the puppy had done and asked her to wash the pillow. She said that she'd check it out. Once they were done eating, they took the puppies over to Jim's house.
Classes seemed to last forever. By the end of the day, Jim knew he was going to be dragging. At Lunch, Mr. Duncan came over and asked Jim how things were going. Jim told him that he had his first appointment with Dusty's father Monday but other than that things were good. "Well, your teachers have been keeping me apprised and they can't believe the difference in you this week."
"You can blame Zac Schoen for that." Dusty piped in.
"OH?" Mr. Duncan looked interested.
"Yeah, he took Jim to the ranch where he works and Jim got his horse back." Dusty said. He wanted to say more but didn't feel it was his place.
"Not to mention, just being with him makes me happy. Then these guys took me out and got me a couple of puppies." Jim added. "I have the best friends a guy could ask for. I'll always miss and love Shadow, but I know she'd be happy for me right now and that makes me happy."
"Yes, it's always hard when we lose a loved one, but remember how happy they always made you and keep them alive in your heart. I still remember the first time I lost a dog and it was hard. I don't want to bore you with the details, though. Enjoy your lunch." With that Mr. Duncan moved on to chat with other students. He smiled as Zac headed to sit with Jim.
"What was that all about?" Zac asked.
"He just came to see how I was doing. And Dusty told him about you taking me to the ranch and me getting Gold back." Jim went on about the rest of the conversation.
Zac asked if Jim told them what the puppies did. When they said he hadn't, Zac did. Dusty apologized, but Jim assured him that it wasn't his fault. Everyone else thought it was kind of funny.
After lunch, Jim went to his health class. They were having a discussion about personal hygiene when the lights flickered. A boy that Jim didn't even know his name raised his hand. As the teacher was about to call on him, the lights went out and the fire alarm rang. Everyone made their way to the designated area.
The teachers counted their students and looked at their grade books. Mr. Duncan went one by one talking to the teachers to be sure everyone was out. Jim looked to see if he could spot Zac or any of his friends with their class. Fire trucks pulled up almost as the students were gathering outside. The one that appeared to be the fire chief walked up to Mr. Duncan. They talked for a few seconds and firemen went inside the school.
Jim looked at his watch, they had been standing outside for twenty minutes when the chief walked back over to Mr. Duncan. Mr. Duncan then started going to each class. "I have to say this to every class, so please let me finish what I have to say, and if you have any questions, please wait until I'm done and keep them brief. Word is that one of the circuit breakers over heated and caught fire. Firemen were quick to take care of it and it is safe to go back in. We have no power, so classes are cancelled for the rest of the day. You're free to go back to your lockers, get what you need and do whatever. Power will be restored by Monday. Any questions?"
Everyone shook their head no and Mr. Duncan smiled and moved on to the next class. Jim went to his locker, got what he needed and headed for Zac's truck. Dusty, Cheyenne and Michael came over. "We're headed to the mall, want to join us?" Cheyenne asked.
"Whatcha gonna buy me" Jim said smiling.
"How about a pooper scooper?" Michael joked. Jim stuck his tongue out.
"Or a new pillow." Dusty chuckled.
Zac walked up while they were laughing. "What's so funny?"
"We're headed to the mall and you two are invited. Mike wants to buy Jim a pooper scooper, and my boyfriend wants to buy a new pillow." Cheyenne answered.
"It's Michael, you know I hate Mike." Michael glared.
"I need to go to the mall sometime today anyway. If Jim's up for it, I'm game." Zac said.
"Let's go." Jim responded.
As they got in Zac's truck, Jim smiled. "And what are you buying for me?"
