THE MEASURE OF MAN

As for you, Gilgamesh, fill your belly with good things; day and night, night and day, dance and be merry, feast and rejoice.

I became angry when Kieran made the suggestion.

 Great, thats all I need, Kieran, another mouth to feed and another kid to clean up behind.

I wont let that happen, Siobhan. I hope we can arrange something with Luke and his father thatll be good for both our families.

Yeah, well, just tell me whats in it for me.

I think he could be a lot of help for you. He could give you more freedom too. The kids are running you ragged. With two in school, youre always having to help them. Kerrys a lovable boy but hes a damn handful, as we both know. Luke will be going to school during the day and his high school is right next to their grammar school. He could drive them instead of you and hell have his own car covered under his fathers insurance. He can help them with their schoolwork. When you want to go shopping in the afternoon, he can baby sit with them instead of you dragging them along. He can baby sit at night and we might even be able to go out once in a while. When its warm enough for them to swim, he can watch them in the pool.

Whens he going to study? Hell be in his last year of high school and he might have to crack a book.

His father says hes a smart kid and he makes good grades. Hes always worked hard in school without his parents pushing him. Hes a good kid whos never caused any trouble at home. He can make his own time to study. The kids go to bed a couple of hours before he does. He can study then.

And wholl do his laundry? I asked. Wholl do the cooking for him?

Damn it, Siobhan, I think he could be a lot of help around here in return for his board. He can get his own breakfast. I do it because I like to fix my own. Hell be at school for lunch. Some nights we order in something and sometimes I bring something home. You cook three or four times during the week. Im happy with that arrangement. Would it be that much trouble to cook a little more for him?

Youll make it clear he has to keep his own room clean and do all of his own laundry?

Yes.

And he has to help with stuff just like a family member. Cleaning up the dishes. Taking out the garbage. Maybe I should do his laundry. He'll probably be as bad about that as you are. Maybe he could vacuum instead. But if he cant be just like family, I dont want him.

I thought taking out the garbage was always my job.

 We might have to change something about the way we live. And I dont want to.

Whats that?

Whats Luke going to say when he comes in with you for the first time and finds me and the kids naked, thats n-a-k-e-d, like bare-ass, tits bouncing nude? Hows an eighteen year old boy going to react?

"He'll probably get a hard-on. Looking at you is enough to give a eunuch a hard-on. So what? The kids have seen me with a big boner. I don't think it will hurt them to see Luke with one."

My old boss, Larry Bridges, was offered a promotion that required him to relocate. He wanted the job but his son, Luke, was about to start his last year of high school and didnt want to move. He told me about it when we were having lunch and I started thinking of letting Luke live with us as a during his last year in high school.

When Larry told me about his son, I was almost convinced that it would be a good arrangement for my family and for Luke. When Larry told me about his straight-laced religious-fanatic wife and how she got mad if he tried to talk to his son about sex, drugs, alcohol, music, and most things teen-age boys are interested in, I almost changed my mind.

You mean hes never even had a beer? I asked.

Not under his mothers roof, Larry answered.

And your wife chews him out for saying damn?

Yeah, imagine what he gets from her when he says shit.

What if he saw MTV and referred to a girl as a sweet piece of ass?

He cant watch MTV. And he sure as hell doesnt talk that way around his mother. He can relax around me but he never lets down his guard all the way.

Sheeiit, Larry, pardon the language, Id like to invite him to live with us for a year but my wife and I are totally different. My two older kids already can talk to us about sex and I give them honest answers. We even swim in the nude with our kids. Hed have a hard time making the adjustment to living with us.

Larry grinned at me. I know how your family is, Kieran. And thats exactly what Id like him to do  make an adjustment. You might even encourage him to get a girl friend and get himself a sweet piece of ass.

Ill talk to Siobhan. If she agrees, you can tell him well invite him to visit with us for a trial weekend. Well throw everything at him. Well make sure he knows how we live and he can make up his own mind. But, damn, let me know if your wife wants to check us out. Well have to clean up our act before she comes to meet us.

Luke rang the bell after lunch on Friday. Kavan and Arial were still at school and Kerry was following me around the house.

He was certainly a nice looking young man. His khaki shorts, blue knit shirt, and sneakers all looked clean and new. His hair was cut short and neat and he was wearing glasses. His teeth were perfect and he had a cute smile. He looked slim and muscular and even sexy. I had been expecting a chubby mothers boy. When he shook my hand, his long fingers wrapped around my hand and his palm was warm and dry.

I showed him where his room was and he threw his bag in and took a quick look around. I told him I had to go pick up our two oldest at school and he offered to drive his car. I explained that we already had Kerrys child seat in my car so we had to use that. I picked up Kerry, handed him to Luke, and we went out through the garage. I handed him the keys after I strapped Kerry in and told him he could drive.

Kavan and Arial were bubbling over with excitement at the prospect of having a young man to play with in the house. When they were strapped in and we started back, Luke was very kind in smiling and answering all their questions.

I told the kids to show him around the house, then the basement, and then the yard. When I told him to carry Kerry down the stairs and to keep an eye on him outdoors, he even seemed pleased at the prospect.

When they all came back up the stairs, the kids took off their sneakers and socks. I yelled at Luke that we liked to go barefooted in the house. He looked surprised but he took his off too. I watched the kids to make sure they didnt take anything else off. Theyd been told not to undress unless I said it was OK but I knew how much they liked to run around the house and play in the nude when it was warm.

Kieran came in from work early as he had promised. Hed already met Luke so they talked for a few minutes and then Kieran went to change into shorts and shirt. When he came back in the family room, he seemed to have forgotten the shirt. He invited Luke to sit with him on the deck and the kids followed them out. I got two bottles of the dark beer Kieran liked and took them out on the deck. Luke was just pulling his shirt over his head. When he saw me holding two bottles of beer, he grinned from ear to ear. Without his shirt, he looked even sexier: slim and smooth and hard with flawless skin. 

Thanks, sweetie, thats just what I need, something cold and wet. He looked at Luke. Would you like a beer, Luke? This is one of my favorites.

Mom wont allow beer in the house, he said.

Damn, kid, your mothers not here, is she? Kieran said. I asked you if you wanted a fucking beer.

Luke appeared shocked and looked up at me, standing there with the beer in my hand. Kavan and Arial were grinning because of Lukes reaction. Kerry was looking at something down in his shorts.

Luke, he did that on purpose, I said. He doesnt usually use profanity in front of the kids but theres not much they havent heard. Anyway, this is our house and we dont live like your parents. If you stay with us, youll have to follow our rules, not hers. We don't care if you use an occasional profanity. Now, Kieran, ask him again.

Kieran smiled at Luke, looking something like a child who has been chastised by his mother and told to mind his manners.

Luke, would you like a beer? This is one of my favorites.

He beamed and took the other beer from my hand.

"You're damn right," he said grinning again. "I'd love a cold beer."

Dinner was spaghetti with Italian sausage, salad, and garlic bread. Id bought a larger size jar of sauce, cooked more pasta, and added two extra pieces of sausage to the pan. Ill have to admit it wasnt really any more work for me. Luke ate like he hadnt had a meal in days. After dinner, Kieran told Luke that everybody except Kerry had to help clean the kitchen and nobody left until we were finished.

At home, my mother always insists on cleaning up by herself, Luke said. Then she has to say something about how much work we make her do. I think I like your way better.

<><><>

(KIERAN)

After dinner, I led the kids and Luke out in the back yard again. Siobhan begged off, knowing what was likely to happen. The kids began to run wild and soon had Luke chasing them. When he caught Kerry, Kavan and Arial piled on him and brought him down in the grass. When I sat down nearby, they attacked me. Before it was over, we were all hot and sweaty and covered with grass clippings. Luke and I ended up on our backs, with Kavan on my stomach, Arial on Lukes, and Kerry running around jumping on both of us. Kavan stretched out on me and kissed me on the cheek and I wrapped my arms around him. Luke watched us and when Arial lay down on him and kissed him, he wrapped his arms around her and looked at me with a very happy smile on his face.

Luke, well let them play a little more and then were going to take them into the basement for a shower. Sometimes I help them bathe and sometimes Siobhan does it. Most of the time we both do it. Youll be expected to help bathe them.

But Arials a girl, Mr. Stuart. Im not supposed to bathe her, am I? Am I supposed to get in there with them naked?

Yeah, Arials a girl. She was the last time I looked. But shes used to seeing her brothers and me naked. Is your equipment any different from mine? And I think you usually get naked when you shower, dont you?

But Im not supposed to touch little kids, especially when theyre naked, he argued.

Luke, Siobhan and I have bathed the kids for years. Weve always washed their genitals and their butts as well as everything else. Kavan can pretty much wash himself now. Arial can too except that we usually end up shampooing her hair and making sure its rinsed. Kerry has to have the full treatment from somebody.

Mr. Stuart, Im not used to bathing with anybody else. My mother wont even let me do it at school because she thinks stuff goes on in the showers there.

Luke, you can call me Kieran or even old man but dont call me Mr. Stuart. You and Ill wash them tonight together and well both wash ourselves. I think youll see theres nothing going on except were all getting clean.


In the basement, Kavan and Arial struggled out of their clothes and I stripped Kerry. I unbuttoned my shorts and kicked them off and caught Luke checking me out. He turned his back while he took his off. I could almost see him struggle with having to turn around and face us. When he did, his equipment turned out to be nothing remarkable, just a normal eighteen-year old male's with normal-size uncircumcised penis and testicles. I noticed that his balls were hanging low and relaxed and his dick didn't seem to be shrunken by any anxiety at getting naked with us. I also noticed that the kids paid no more attention to those parts of his body than all the rest.
 
I sent Kavan for the bench to sit on while I adjusted the water. The kids and I got in and got wet. Arial took Lukes hand and led him under the shower. When we were all rinsed off, I told Luke to sit down on the bench. I handed him the kids shampoo and Arial immediately walked in front of him and tried to back up. When she bumped into his knees, she turned around, pushed his legs apart, and backed up. Luke looked up at me, smiled, and started shampooing her hair. I was glad she hadn't threatened to grab his dick like she sometimes does with me. I grabbed Kerry and started scrubbing him.

As I expected, Kavan took his soapy washcloth, pulled his foreskin back, and proceeded to rub his dick to erection. When I saw it, I touched Lukes shoulder and told him to look, that Kavan wanted us to admire his hard work. I think Luke blushed even in the warm shower.

When we were finished, Kavan got towels for everybody. He kept one and started drying off by himself. I handed one to Luke and kept one for Kerry. Luke seemed reluctant to touch Arial around her hips.  I encouraged him. Luke, just press the towel up against her vulva in front and then between her butt cheeks in back. I always do and shell expect it from you. Its OK.

The three kids went up the stairs to the kitchen, Kavan and Arial holding Kerrys hands as he struggled up the steps. I watched the three beautiful little butts, as usual, until they disappeared.

Luke was under the warm shower, watching the parade too. He moved over when I got under the water. He handed me the soap and I grabbed a cloth and lathered up. When I pulled back my foreskin and washed the head of my dick, I noticed Luke watching. While I watched him, he kept his eyes on my dick when he did the same, or almost the same, because he started to get a hard-on and turned his back to me.


"I'm sorry," she said, over his shoulder.

"Luke, you haven't done anything to be sorry for," I said. "When I was your age, my dick wouldn't behave either. Now, turn around and just don't worry about it."

He turned around, rather reluctantly, I thought, and I saw he had a nice-sized erect dick, straight, the foreskin retracted, a little larger than normal but not quite as big as mine, certainly one any young girl would probably love to play with. I decided to tell him that, maybe to give his ego a boost.

"You've got a nice dick, Luke," I said. "I'll bet some young woman would love to have you use it with her."

"Shit, Kieran, I've never even had a date with a girl. I wouldn't know what to do if I got the chance."

"I'll bet you'll think of something. Siobhan and I want to see if we can help you have a chance. If you find a girl you like, you can invite her home; that's what this is going go be, you know, your home."

He looked at me, with a big grin on his face and shook his head.

"My family is totally different from yours, Luke. I hope someday, you'll know what it's like to have a family like mine. There're still some things you and I and my wife have got to talk about after the kids are in bed. But what do you say so far. It may be a temporary arrangement but do you think you want to be part of this family for a year?"

He looked at me, still smiling widely, and answered, "Yeah!"

(SIOBHAN)

When Kieran and Luke came upstairs, the kids were all sitting on the couch in the family room, waiting for someone to read to them. Id wondered how far Kieran would get in indoctrinating Luke. They both had put their shorts back on and I saw grass stains all over the khaki fabric on both of them.

Luke, I said, I know you agreed that youd do your own laundry. But your shorts and Kierans are covered with grass stains. Youd both better take them off and let me treat them tonight so the stainsll come out. If you're as incompetent at doing  laundry as Kieran, maybe I'd better do yours too."

Luke looked at Kieran in bewilderment, not knowing what to do.

Luke, Kieran said, were hitting you with everything right up front. You need to know what your life is going to be for the next year if you move in with us. Siobhan and I like to go nude around the house. We swim in the nude. Theres even a place out in the country where a whole bunch of families go nude together. We cant change the way we are. Can you change the way you are?

He looked at the three kids, all clean, hair combed, faces shining, holding books, waiting for someone to read to them, and still naked. He looked at me and finally at Kieran. He unzipped his shorts, took them off, and handed them to me. Kieran did the same. I gave them both one quick glance and saw that Luke's dick looked as full and relaxed as Kieran's always does. Kieran's was bigger but Luke's was certainly enough to please any woman.

 Would one of you read to the kids, please? I said.

When I came back to the family room, Luke was sitting on the couch, naked except for Kerry in his lap. Arial was on one side and Kavan was on the other. I listened and noted that Arial or Kavan corrected him if he missed a word. Kavan was an excellent reader and Arial was making fast progress. Besides, theyd memorized the book from the many times wed read it to them. Theyd picked an easy book from Dr. Seuss tonight, not one of the ones on dinosaurs or paleontology or astronomy they usually liked to read or have read to them. I wondered what Luke wouldve done if theyd picked one of their books on sex. 

<><><>

(KIERAN)

Luke carried the sleeping Kerry to bed. I tucked Kavan in and kissed him. Luke started to leave the room but saw Kavan had his arms outstretched. Youve got to kiss him good night, I said. He sat down on the bed beside Kavan, got hugged around the neck, kissed Kavan on the cheek, and rumpled his hair.

In Arials room, I sat down on the side of her bed and pulled the sheet up over her naked little body. I leaned over for my nightly hug and kiss. When I stood up, she held out her arms for Luke. When he sat down on the bed and leaned over her, she gave him the same hug and kiss. She even ran her hand through his hair. I hope you come stay with us, Luke, she whispered.

When we were walking down the hall toward the family room, Luke put his hand on my shoulder and stopped me. Is it like this every night?

Yes, but youre not expected to put them to bed every night. Thats a job for their father and mother. But you should do it once in a while. Theyll want you to.

Kieran, old man, whatever, I cant go back in there with your wife. Ive kept my penis under control for the last couple of hours. If she gets naked, I dont think its gonna listen to me.

I listened for a minute to see if I could hear it, I mean her. I think shes back in our bedroom. Go on out on the deck and turn out the lights in the kitchen and family room. Ill tell her where we are. The three of us need to talk and maybe youll feel better in the dark.

He started to walk away and I called after him, Luke, you can say penis, your dick, your cock, whatever. We all do, its OK. 

A few minutes later, I found him sitting in one of the chairs on the deck. There was enough light to see him but I guessed he could hide something if the need arose.

This is important for you, Luke. I told your father about the way we are in our family. He knows we go nude at home and at a place in the country. He knows Im already talking to my two oldest about sex and Kerry hears it all too. He said he hoped youd be able to make an adjustment. He even told me to encourage you to get a girl friend and get yourself, in his words, a sweet piece of ass.

Dad said that? he asked. The emotion in his voice was clear.

Yes.

Kieran, I feel sorry for him. He tries to keep peace with Mom. I guess I do too. Shes awfully hard to live with.

You dont have to live with her anymore, Luke. You can live with us for the next year. After that, your fathers planning to send you to college. You should still treat them as your mother and father and give them your love and respect. But youre about to be an adult and you can choose whether you want to live your life by their rules or by your own.

<><><>

(SIOBHAN)

Kieran had told me I could get undressed before I came out on the deck, just not to turn any lights on. When I walked out, Kieran was saying something to Luke about living by rules. I think Luke almost stood up before he realized I was as naked as they were.

Kieran, I said, Lukes passed the most important test of all with flying colors.

What test? Luke asked, surprised.

The kid test, Luke, Kieran said. Weve been giving you that test since you came in this afternoon. I agree with my wife. You made an A+ on the kid test.

Hes having a hard time with the other test though, I punned. I think he reacts normally to naked women, dont you, Luke?

I leaned forward, elbows on my knees, to talk to Luke. Luke, dont worry if you react to me that way. Kieran does and Im very glad of it. Its the most normal reaction of a man to a woman. Youll get used to being naked around us. You can handle it.

Siobhan and I have the kind of marriage every man should want, Luke, Kieran said. I said I loved her before we were married but I love her even more now. With our three kids, I dont think I could ever ask for more love from her or from the kids.

Yes, Luke, hes right about that, I said. And the sex is pretty damn good too. We didnt invite you here to get involved in that part of our marriage. But youve got to be involved in the love part if youre going to live with us, especially with the kids.

Yeah, but I was just eighteen last month, he said. Ive never had a girl friend. I dont know what Id do with one if I had one. I stay horny night and day. I cant control my feelings.

Luke, you dont have to worry about your sexual feelings, I said. Youre a normal young man. Be glad you are. If you get aroused, you can go in your room and do something about it. Masturbate! Youre going to be taking care of your own room. Get yourself a bottle of baby oil. Ill give you a stack of old towels; we have plenty of those. Just dont let them pile up too long. Your room might smell a little strong if you do.

I could tell that he was looking back and forth from Kieran to me. You mean you dont care if I jack off? Mom found semen on my sheets at home once and chewed me out about it.

Kieran said, Luke, well worry about you if you dont jack off. Its perfectly normal for a young man like you. I did my share of it before I got married.

Hes not quite honest with you when he says that, Luke, I said. He still jacks off for me once in a while because I like to watch him. I let him watch me too. Wouldnt you like to have a marriage where you can be that way with your wife? 

Luke seemed struck speechless by my revelation. Kieran hit him with another. Luke, I want you to start thinking about your lack of a girlfriend. This will be your home for the next year if you decide to stay with us. Were going to do a lot of talking. I think you need some man-to-man advice. Howd you like to invite a girl here to watch a movie on TV? You can even turn the lights out and make popcorn, hell, make out with each other. You two can do whatever you both agree on. You can take her in your room and find out what a sweet piece if ass means. We can stay in our bedroom and you can take her home at any hour her parents permit.

He looked back and forth at the two of us again. Im ready to move in now if youll have me.

Dont be in a hurry to decide. Youve got until Sunday night to make up your mind, Kieran advised. Just remember, youre going to be treated like family, no more, no less. We want you to be a big brother to three kids. It wont be easy.

Luke, I said, I told you were very open about sex. That doesnt mean we have an open marriage; do you know what that is?

No, what is it?

An open marriage is one in which both the husband and the wife are free to have other sexual partners. Weve never done that. But we arent going to hide our sexual life in our own home from you. Youll just have to deal with it. Maybe we can help you find a love of your own.

Kieran stood up and held out his hand to me. Speaking of sex, are you ready to go to bed yet? Luke can watch TV if he wants to.

Ive got a better idea. You two come on in the kitchen with me, I said.

When we were in the kitchen, I asked Kieran to turn on the light. When he did, Luke couldnt take his eyes off my breasts and the thatch of red hair between my legs.

I walked up to him until my breasts were pressed against his chest. "Put your cheek next to mine." He did and I put my arms around his waist. "Put your hands on my behind." He hesitated, looking at Kieran, but he did what I said. "Now hold me tight against you until you've got a hard-on." In less than a minute, I had a big hard-on pressed upward between my legs. I put my hands on his ass and rubbed against him until he began to squirm.

I reached one hand down between us and cupped my fingers under his balls. I lifted them a few times, pretending to weigh them.

"Kieran, his balls feel kind of heavy, like they're full of sperm. Do you think Luke needs to do something to get rid of that load?"

"Yeah, he probably does," Kieran said, grinning at me and Luke, both of us looking at him. "I recommend he go in his room and jack off a time or two."

I put my other hand between us, wrapped it around his dick, and stroked it a few times. Luke and I both watched as I uncovered and recovered the big shiny head.

"You heard him, Luke. I hope you've got the beginning of a good fantasy. Now take this," and I gave his dick a gentle pull, "to bed with you. Get the baby oil out of the bathroom and a wet cloth and a towel. Enjoy yourself and be proud you can. Kieran and I are going to enjoy ourselves too."

And get a good nights sleep, Kieran said. The kids are going to wear you out tomorrow and Siobhan and I still need to talk to you some more.

And dont bother to get dressed tomorrow morning, Luke, I said. Well all be eating breakfast in the nude, like we do lots of Saturday mornings. Youve got to get used to our way of living if youre going to stay with us.

<><><>

 (KIERAN)

The next morning, Siobhan and I were in the kitchen when Luke came in, naked. Kavan was on one of the stools eating breakfast and Siobhan was on another, both naked. Arial and Kerry were parked in front of the TV in the family room, both naked and sprawled out on their stomachs. I was playing cook, naked except for an apron to protect the family jewels. Luke checked us all out, grinning, and then sat down beside Kavan. Siobhan poured him a large glass of orange juice and sat it in from of him. She pushed a mug in front of him and, when he nodded yes, she poured him a cup of coffee.

Im cooking omelets this morning, Luke, I said. You can have yours made to order as long as its what Ive got on the counter. Siobhan cooks breakfast on weekends sometimes too. You can try your hand at fixing for all of us whenever you want to. Sometimes we all just fend for ourselves.

Siobhan opened the refrigerator to get something out. I saw where Lukes eyes were fastened. When I looked at Siobhan, she was bent over to one of the lower shelves, her lovely rear turned toward us. I could see the soft mounds between her legs, covered with shining red hair I wondered if she had done it deliberately to give Luke a look.

Siobhans a beautiful woman, isnt she Luke? I asked. He nodded yes and looked at me guiltily. I dont care if you look at her. Its hard not to look  and its hard when you do look, isnt it?

"Yeah, it's hard  already, damn it. I told you two I couldn't keep it under control," he said, hanging his head but grinning.

Luke, believe me, you can stay here with us and learn to deal with our nudity. My kids have seen me with my dick hard before. Kavan has to show me his every time he showers. Siobhans already seen you. Its just not a problem as far as were concerned.

Yeah, Dad, Kavan said, Lukes got a hard-on. Its not as big as yours but its a nice one, isnt it, Luke?

I thought Luke was going to blush as red as my wifes hair.

How many eggs, Luke, I asked.

Three, with some of everything. And three pieces of toast. And could I have another glass of orange juice, please.

Youre going to be family, Luke, Siobhan said. Get it yourself. Theres another carton in the fridge.

He walked over to the refrigerator, his cock pointing straight out, weaving from side to side, poured himself another big glass of juice, and walked back, cock still pointing from side to side. Siobhan watched and gave him a smile and said, Good for you, Luke.

After breakfast I asked Luke to get dressed in some old clothes. When he said he hadnt brought any old ones, I went to our bedroom and rummaged in the closet until I found an old shirt and shorts for him. I grabbed some rubber sandals too since his feet looked bigger than mine. I got clothes for me that were just as worn out.

When I tossed the sandals and clothes to him, he looked puzzled.

Lets get dressed, I said. Were going to do the car test next.

Im a good driver, he said. Dad gave me the car and said it was mine until I had an accident or got a ticket. Ive got enough sense not to mess up.

I just want you to move it off the street and drive it down behind the house. Ill open the gate. I want to go over the important things on the car to see how you take care of it.

When he parked under the tree behind the house, he got out smiling. This is one thing you cant catch me on. I do all my own maintenance. Its in great shape. I intend to keep this little Toyota for a lot of years.

I checked the tires and found they were almost new with no signs of uneven wear. When I checked the brakes, they were in excellent condition, still showing signs of recent work. The exhaust system was also like new. When I lifted the hood, everything again was spotless and showed signs of recent cleaning. I checked the fluids even though I knew by now that theyd be full.

Blue Bird has almost eighty thousand miles on her. I think she should be good for two or three hundred thousand, dont you? he asked me, with evident pride.

I wasnt really checking out the car, Luke; I was checking out you.

Oh, he said quietly, do I pass?

Yep, you pass, I said, and slapped him gently on the shoulder.

We stayed in the house most of the day and Luke gradually became more comfortable around us. The kids couldnt stay away from him or off him. About mid-afternoon, I decided he needed a little private time.

Kids, I want you to go lie down for an hour and be quiet. If youre good, well all go swimming when you get up. Luke needs a little rest.

Luke and I led the kids to their bedrooms and he smiled at me as he went in his room and shut the door. He saw Siobhan waiting for me at the door to our bedroom.

About four, we all went swimming for over an hour. Luke played with the kids in what seemed like genuine pleasure. He and Kavan got in a wrestling match. He held Arial while she wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his middle. He even worked with Kerry for a while teaching him to swim. When we got out, we rinsed off in the shower and I started the grill for steaks. Siobhan and Arial went to the kitchen to do the rest of the fixings. I sent Kavan for two beers. I drank mine in a hurry and then let a big belch escape. Kavan got a big laugh out of it as usual. When Luke let out an even louder one, we all ended up laughing. We ate at the picnic table under the tree and sat until the light faded.

We were sitting around in the family room talking when I saw Kerry was close to falling asleep. I asked Luke if hed put him to bed.

He stood up and picked up Kerry. Kerry wrapped himself around Luke and put his head on his shoulder. Luke hesitated before leaving the room.

Kieran, Im ready to come live with you and your family if you and Siobhan are sure youll have me.

I stood up too and pulled Siobhan and the other two kids to their feet. I wrapped my arms around Luke and Kerry. The others knew what was expected. They gathered around and joined in Lukes first group hug.

Luke, I said, if you stay with us, youre going to be a part of this family, just like our three kids are.

Luke was in school during the week and at home every night and weekends. Our routine settled down to a peaceful happy family again. Luke seemed to come out of his shell more and more each day. I knew we had all made the right decision. Siobhan and I joked with Luke about his perpetually horny condition. He seemed to be able to relax even when his cock reared its head in our presence. The kids came to accept his frequent arousals as something normal for Luke. Siobhan didnt try to hide herself from him. She and Luke seemed to reach a friendly joking attitude toward it. Shed even tell him occasionally that it, his dick, was misbehaving and he needed to go to his room and stay there until it could be good. He even stopped blushing at being sent to his room.

<><><>

We had a wonderful Indian summer starting in September. The nights were a little cool and I knew wed soon have to reduce our nude activities indoors and stop them outdoors.

On a Saturday night, Luke read to the kids and then put them all to bed. He came back in the kitchen still naked since our early afternoon swim. Siobhan was standing at the kitchen sink. I was standing behind her, my cock pressed up against her ass, my hands holding her breasts, nuzzling her neck, when Luke came back in. He silently sat down in a chair and watched. I kept playing with Siobhan and she had her head back, eyes closed in pleasure. I watched Luke, watching us, and saw his cock begin to swell. He casually dropped one hand down to it and began to stroke it slowly with his thumb and two fingers.

I whispered in Siobhans ear that Luke was behind us. She turned and noted his condition. Hello, Luke, she said, and kept watching him as I probed between her legs with my cock.

Siobhan, would you like to give Luke a lesson? I whispered, but loud enough for Luke to hear.

Im not sure, she said, her eyes still on Lukes hard cock. Looks like he doesnt need any lessons on how to jerk off.

He knows how to do himself, I said, Lets go in the family room and you can show him how you do it.

Kieran, we cant do that, she protested and reached back and pulled on something that had grown to full size.

Why not? Hes eighteen. Wouldnt you like to watch both of us do it? I walked over and sat down beside Luke, put my thumb and two fingers on my cock, mimicking Lukes grip, and began to stroke my cock up and down.

Luke, would you like to watch me? Siobhan asked. Kierans a typical male voyeur. But Ill admit I get hot watching him do it.

Luke looked at me, as though asking my permission.

Im the one who suggested it, Luke, I said. I think you can learn something about men and women by watching. But I want to give you a lecture first. Can you hold onto what youve got for a few minutes? Ill try to make it short and sweet.

He nodded and wrapped both hands, one above the other, around his dick.

Luke, youre not circumcised and Im not either. You should be as thankful to your dad for that as I am to mine. Circumcising boys grew out of crazy religious beliefs many years ago that masturbation was a sin. Our foreskins are important in making sex and masturbation feel good. They figured if the removed the skin, their boys wouldnt sin. Would you say that was a stupid attitude to take?

Yeah, I sure do. Dad told me that was one of the few battles with Mom that he fought hard to win.

Good for your father. I think my kids have a right to experience the sexual pleasure of their body whenever they want to. I think its perfectly normal; it shouldnt be something to hide. When my kids ask you to let them watch you jack off, I hope youll show them.

I cant do that, Kieran; I dont want to hurt your kids. I dont want to do anything to make you kick me out.

Luke, if you do let them watch, just dont close the door to your bedroom. You wont hurt the kids by letting them watch you jack off. You can even let Siobhan or me watch along with the kids. But just let me ask you one question.

He looked at me, waiting for the question.

Well trust you not to hurt our kids. Will you trust yourself?

He looked at me and then at Siobhan. Id never hurt your kids. The more Im around them, the more I love them. Ive always hated being a single kid. I used to daydream about having sisters or brothers. I wish you could know how much I like being a part of your family, even if it is just temporary.

Luke, Siobhan said, living with us is a temporary arrangement. Being part of our family can last as long as you wish.

Ive got one more point, Luke, I said. Would you believe that women in some societies are mutilated so that they dont get much pleasure out of fucking or masturbation? I dont know where that stupid idea came from but would you want to deny a woman the sort of feelings you enjoy.

No, but I dont know whether they feel the same thing. I dont know that much about women, except what Ive read in books. And books just tell you how things work; they dont tell you how anything feels.

Luke, Id like to show you, Siobhan said. I could pretend its just to teach you something but Ill admit it makes me horny to think of you watching me. 

Luke looked at me and I guessed that he wanted my approval.

Luke, Siobhan and I are real partners in this marriage, I said. Ive never made her do anything she doesnt want to do. If she wants to give you lessons, its because we both agree on it.

We went into the family room and Luke and I moved two chairs to face the couch, forming a triangle about four feet from the center of the couch to each chair and from each chair to the other. I motioned for Luke to take the couch and Siobhan and I took the chairs.

Luke, just hold your cock straight up, like mine; dont do anything with it, I said. Siobhans going to give you a good look at what youve been sneaking peeks at.

Siobhan used both hands to pull her vaginal lips apart, showing Luke the pink and coral flesh between the lips. Lukes eyes fastened on her, wide open, and I wondered if he was ever going to blink.

Now use your hand, Luke.

He started moving his hand up and down, sliding the skin up until his hand just touched his glans and then back down. He was much too fast. I knew hed come in no time if kept up his frantic pace.

Stop, Luke, just hold it for a minute. Im going to get something, I told him.

I went into the bathroom and found the bottle of baby oil. When I came out with it, Siobhan sent me back for towels and a warning that wed better not get it on the couch. Luke was still holding his cock at the base. I held his wrist and pulled his hand up until his thumb and first finger formed a ring around the tip of the glans. I squeezed out a small amount of oil just on the top of his glans. When I sat down again, I did the same to mine. Luke quickly coated his cock with the oil and I coated mine.

Watch me, Luke. When my hand stops moving, look at Siobhan and follow my example. When youve done what I did, look back over at me.

I very slowly moved my hand up and down on my cock, pulling the shaft skin down tightly on each down-stroke. After a minute or so, I held the skin down tightly with the other hand and, with one oiled finger, I rubbed up and down on my frenulum. When I stopped, his eyes flew back to Siobhans open thighs and he did the same as I had done. When he stroked the sensitive frenulum under the glans of his cock, I could hear a sharp intake of breath.

OK, Luke, youre about to get an important lesson, I said. In sex, be a gentleman  let the lady come first.

I looked over at Siobhan. Honey, would you like to demonstrate how a woman pleasures herself?

Luke watched in enraptured awe while Siobhan used her fingers. She started the same way she always does, with two fingers, one on each side of her hooded clitoris, sliding her fingers down into her vagina, and smearing her lubrication over her clitoris. After a couple of minutes, she used just one finger, stroking upward on her clit, just as Luke had stroked his frenulum. When she threw her head back and her body stiffened and then fell slack, I knew he understood what had happened. I started moving my hand up and down on my cock, slowly at first. Luke watched me. When I increased my speed, he did the same. When he erupted in a fountain of white spurts, I did the same - a few seconds later. We all sat quietly for a few minutes, waiting for our breathing to slow down.

You two just sit where you are, Siobhan commanded. Im going get some warm wash cloths to clean you up. She disappeared down the hallway. Luke looked down at his chest and stomach, at the white strings of semen beginning to run downward. He looked over at me and saw the same thing.

When Siobhan came back, she took a cloth and wiped Lukes chest and stomach clean. When she held his cock upright, skinned back the head and wiped that clean, Luke looked over at me in alarm. Watch, Luke, shes going to get the last little bit out. She squeezed from the base and milked his cock upward. One more bit of white semen oozed out the end. When Siobhan leaned over, took the head of his cock in her mouth, and sucked up the last little bit, I thought he was going to fall off the couch. She smiled and leaned over to Luke as though to kiss him. At the last minute she moved to me, and kissed me on the mouth. I knew she was going to stick her come-flavored tongue in my mouth. When she did, I sucked her tongue clean. When she cleaned my chest and stomach and cock, she ended up squeezing the last bit out of my plumbing. She took the head in her mouth and sucked me clean. I knew what Luke was about to get. When she kissed him, for the first time, with my semen on her tongue, I thought hed push her away. Instead, he opened his mouth to hers. When she pulled away, he turned to me with a smile on his face.

Siobhan evidently decided she wasnt finished with him.

Kieran, would you mind getting us all a glass of wine. I think we might cleanse our palates before the second course.

When I came back, Siobhan gave me my instructions.

Kieran, would you and Luke move the chairs back where they were. Then get that tape that I like  you know the one  and put it in the VCR. Were all going to sit on the couch and watch. Luke can sit in the middle.

I knew it was Siobhans favorite because it was an erotic movie, not a pornographic one, and it showed slow tender sex between a man and a woman, and then another couple, and then a third pair. I think we all three of us came with our right hand before it was over. I know Luke had his third orgasm for the night; I think Siobhan did too.

(SIOBHAN)

By mid-October, our relationship with Luke had grown even more relaxed and open. On one clear cool Saturday, we took the kids out in the woods for a long walk. The weather was perfect for jeans and sweatshirts. We packed sandwiches and drinks in two backpacks so Kieran and Luke could carry them. We hiked into the woods on an old logging road until we found an old house, abandoned and falling down. The kids wanted to see what they could find. We left the backpacks in a sunny spot on the side of the house and went exploring.

The house was empty except for some old books and magazines. When I found that some of the magazines dated back to the 1920s, I asked for help in collecting the best. When we went out the back door onto the porch, Luke looked on an old shelf next to the door, found a handful of arrowheads, and showed them to the kids. They dug around in the leaves on the rotting porch and found even more. We looked into the old barn that was falling down. Kieran found some old blue glass-topped canning jars and asked me if I wanted them. Before we stopped digging we had found a couple of dozen in various sizes. Luke found an old crocus sack and we carefully filled it full of jars, cushioned by newly-fallen leaves.

We ate our lunch sitting in the sun, sheltered from the wind. We had a brief wrestling match in the leaves, Luke and Kieran against the rest of us and they let me and the kids win. Afterwards the boys went to the other side of the house to pee and Arial and I sprinkled the leaves on our side. When we started trudging back, I realized that wed found too many treasures. We put the magazines and arrowheads in one knapsack and Luke volunteered to carry it. Kavan got the backpack with the remaining water and fruit. Kieran carried the sack of jars and I carried Kerry. We swapped around three or four times and finally made it back to the car.

Kerry fell asleep on the ride home. Halfway, Kieran stopped the car and let Luke drive and said hed ride with the kids and I could sit up front. When we got home we were all tired, dirty, and starved. Kieran turned the heat up and I made everybody go straight to the basement to strip off. It was the first time wed all been in the shower together. Kavan went for the old bench and Arial and I sat down on it. I was surprised when Kieran made Luke swap; Kieran shampooed Arials hair and Luke did mine. Kieran and Luke both got erections while shampooing. Kavan saw them and played with his until it popped up. Kerry didnt seem to care. He crawled in my lap while Luke was combing my hair and started playing with my breasts. After we dried off, we went upstairs and raided the refrigerator for leftovers.

The kids went off to the TV and Kieran and Luke and I sat at the kitchen table talking. Luke kept looking back and forth between Kieran and me. Suddenly, he reached over and took my hand in his and held out the other to Kieran. When Kieran took it, he looked at us and said, I want to thank you for one of the best days of my life. I wish you could reach into my heart and know what I feel  like Im part of a real family.

<><><>

After the kids were put to bed, Kieran went in the Living-Music room and turned on his favorite classical station. He didnt turn on any lights and the room was lit only by the light coming in from the family room. I went in and joined him and curled up next to him, my feet on the couch, Kierans arm around me, his hand on my breast.

A few minutes later, Luke came to the door and stood looking at us. Kieran waved him in and I moved my feet and patted the couch next to me. When he sat down, I put my legs back up and across his lap. I pulled him over against me and we lay there like three partially-fallen dominos. He listened for a minute and then said, Thats Aaron Copelands Appalachian Suite. Its a beautiful way to end a wonderful day. We listened together until the piece was over.

Kieran stood up and pulled me to my feet. When Luke stood up too, Kieran wrapped his arms around both of us and pulled us together in a three-way hug. We stood there quietly enjoying the closeness.

When Kieran pulled away and took my hand, I stood still. Kieran, would it be alright with you if we took Luke to bed with us. I think he needs another lesson, dont you?

I saw the surprise on Lukes face. I knew Kieran wasnt surprised. He and I had talked about helping Luke to learn about sex and love. He had even encouraged me to give Luke another lesson or two and reassured me that it was OK with him.

Even though our bedroom was a short distance from his, I couldnt remember Luke ever being in our bedroom. He hesitated at the door until Kieran and I both took his hands and pulled him in.

Kieran folded up the comforter on the bed, leaving just a blanket over the sheets. We all crawled on the bed and ended up sitting cross-legged a few feet from each other.

Luke, Kieran began, you can learn all about the mechanics of sex and still be a very poor lover. Its the attitude toward your beloved and what you do together that can make you a great lover.

Hes exactly right, Luke, I continued. I want you to learn about something this time that Kieran and I both enjoy doing with each other. He taught me how wonderful oral sex can be as part of lovemaking. Im going to do to you tonight what Kieran did about nudity your first weekend with us. Im going to give you the full treatment tonight, no gradually easing into it, just everything at once. Do you think you can handle it?

He smiled at both of us. How do I know if I can handle it? Ive never done it. Ive heard guys talk about it but I dont know how to do it. They like to brag when a girl does it to them.

Luke, Kieran said, the first thing youve got to learn is that oral sex is a two-way street, just like everything else in sex. Youve got to be willing to give as much as you get. In fact, you should be willing to give more than you get if you really love someone.

Hes right, Luke, I said. Sometimes its wonderful even if its one way. Sometimes Kieran wants a quickie. Hell grab me and carry me in the bedroom. If Im dressed, hell almost rip everything off. Hell shove his dick in me with a minimum of foreplay and pound away until he comes. I love it when he does that. I know he likes it when I turn the tables on him and shove him down, suck him long enough to get him hard, and then ride him until I come. Thats good sex in either direction.

But in the long run, Kieran continued, you cant make a good marriage with selfish sex. Youve got to be as much concerned with your beloveds pleasure as your own, maybe more so. Let me ask you a question. If Siobhan gives you a blow job, will you go down on her?

Kieran, Im willing to learn and to try anything, he answered. You twove already taught me that. If she gives me a blowjob, I dont have to worry about what to do; shell do it. If I go down on her, I wont know what to do. Ive never seen a womans vagina up close.

Say cunt, Luke, I said.

OK. Cunt.

Say pussy, Luke, Kieran said.

Pussy.

Say I want you to suck my cock, I said.

I want you to suck my cock, Siobhan.

Say I want to lick your pussy, Kieran said.

I want to lick your pussy, Siobhan.

Which one do you want first, Luke? Kieran asked.

He thought for a moment and I knew from his face when he realized that Kieran had posed another test for him.

I want to lick Siobhans pussy, he said.

<><><>

(KIERAN)

At my instruction, he helped Siobhan into position on the bed, one pillow under her head and another under her hips. He spread her legs apart and knelt between them. I stretched out beside them, my head near Siobhans pussy.

Look at her, Luke. At her cunt. Youre on your knees looking down at something beautiful. Some people would call what youre seeing obscene. But all the human life on this earth entered through a womans cunt. And all the life comes out of it. If thats not something holy, I dont know what is.

It is beautiful, isnt it? I love her red hair down there, do you? Luke asked.

Yeah, Luke, Ive always loved it. Now stretch out with your face just a foot or so away from it. Im going to give you an anatomy lesson. When were through with that lesson, Im going to tell you how to make love to a woman with your mouth. I want you to do what I tell you until Siobhans had an orgasm or two or three. Can you do that?

Can she really have orgasms like that, you know, one right after another, like the books say?

Yes, Luke, she can. Shes got her head propped up so she can watch you. Try to look at her eyes occasionally as you do it. If she closes her eyes, watch her face. Then do what ever her eyes and face tell you.

It took only a few minutes for him to give her one. The second took longer. Siobhan almost suffocated him on the second when she grabbed his head and held his mouth against her clitoris while she came.

Luke rose up on his knees and smiled at me, his mouth and nose and chin glistening with Siobhans juices. He licked his lips and I knew he had learned well.

Now go up and kiss her, Luke. She likes to be kissed and held after shes had an orgasm. Be very gentle with her.

When Luke rose up from kissing Siobhan, I moved up beside her and took his place. I pushed his face down to her breast. I loved the taste of her cunt on her mouth, even though I wasnt the one who had put it there. When I lifted my face from Siobhan, Luke started kissing her again. I moved my mouth to her breast and sucked on one hard little nipple. 

After a minute or so, I moved up with my mouth next to Siobhans ear and asked her what she wanted us to do next. She pulled my head down and whispered in my ear. I rose up and looked down at her. At the same time? I asked, and she nodded.

Luke, Siobhans going to suck your cock. She wants you to come in her mouth. When you do, she may swallow it. She might spit it on your stomach. She may even give you a big kiss with your come still in her mouth. Which do you want her to do?

Luke looked at me, probably realizing it was another test for him to pass or fail.

I want her to kiss me.

Good for you, Luke, I said. You pass again. Never refuse to kiss a woman whos just given you a blowjob. If shes willing to get it in her mouth, why cant you?

At Siobhans instructions, Luke moved up to the head of the bed, propped up, legs outspread. Siobhan got on hands and knees, face above Lukes cock. I got behind Siobhan and moved closer until my cock was inches from her.

Luke looked up at me. I suppose he was asking what was going on and what part he was supposed to play.

Im going to fuck her while she sucks you, Luke, I said. Have you ever seen a man fucking a woman from behind like this?

No, Ive never seen it, not even in videos, until I saw that one here. Some of the guys in high school have some but they never invite me when theyre watching. They usually do it when theyre getting drunk and they know I wont drink that much.

Would you like to watch Kieran do it, Luke, Siobhan said, before you get your blow job?

When Luke was in position beside me, I held the head of my cock down in position close to Siobhans cunt. The lips were already open and still glistening from Lukes first lesson. I slowly began to ease my cock in, an inch at a time, getting my shaft well lubricated from her, going deeper and deeper until Luke could see nothing except my pubic hair against her ass. I held still while he got back in his place.

I knew that the speed of my thrusts into Siobhans cunt would set the pace of her mouth moving on Lukes cock. I tried to be as slow and gentle as possible, easing into her wet silken cunt as slowly as possible and withdrawing just as slowly. I hardly caused any movement in her body. I watched the back of her head, moving up and down while her mouth moved on Lukes cock. She held herself up with one hand and held the base of his cock with the other. I knew from long experience that she was stretching the skin on the shaft downward as tightly as possible. Lukes eyes closed and his head dropped back on the pillow.

I decided to speed up my hip movements, to pump into Siobhan faster, but to hold back so that I didnt bang against her ass with my lower stomach. Again I watched as her heads up and down movements matched my in and out movements. She still held Lukes cock with one hand but now she was moving her hand up and down in pace with my thrusts.

I watched Lukes face to see if I could see any signs of what he was experiencing. Gradually I saw the relaxed look of pleasure give way to the frowning rictus of impending orgasm. In spite of my own advice never to get in a race to orgasm, I didnt want to leave the hot depths of my wife until I came. I started thrusting and slamming into her faster and harder. Perhaps she was trying to make Luke come before I did. She was moving her hand and her mouth up and down on Lukes cock harder and faster too. 

Lukes face gave away his feelings. He placed his hands on each side of Siobhans head and started thrusting upward with his hips. I could hear him groan as he started spurting in her mouth. Perhaps that was the trigger I needed because I started spurting in her cunt at almost the same instant. I shoved my cock in to the root and held her tightly by her hips. Luke was rigid, almost lifting himself up off the bed.

When we both released her, she looked back at me with smoldering desire in her eyes. I hadnt felt her come while I was inside her and I decided to do something about that. She moved up over Luke, her lips closed tightly and yanked him down off the pillow so that he was laying flat on the bed. She fastened her mouth on his and held him down by his shoulders while she gave him a semen-laden open-mouthed kiss. When she finally released him, Luke was red in the face and gasping for breath and trying to swallow.

I was still hard, something that had become increasingly rare in recent years. I hoped I could keep it up long enough to get it in Siobhans cunt again. I flipped her over and almost threw myself on top of her. I reached down for my cock and shoved it into her in one push. Her arms quickly encircled me and I reached down and pulled her legs up and back until she was almost bent in half, her legs locked over my back. I fastened my mouth to hers, with a fuck the semen-taste fury, and started pounding into her cunt. Within a minute I felt her cunt contracting and squeezing around my cock. Within another minute or so, I poured out another offering of come into her sacred cunt.

Luke was watching us with utter disbelief on his face. His cock was hard again or still; I didnt know which and he was jerking off with one hand while holding his balls down with the other. When Siobhan saw him, she crawled on top of him again and enveloped the head of his cock with her mouth. I watched and listened as she sucked and slurped. I saw Lukes balls draw up tight against the base of his cock and then almost out of sight in his groin. Siobhan started moaning when he shot another load into her mouth.

She shoved me down on the bed next to Luke and then started to taunt or test both of us, her lips still closed and pursed. She quickly moved over to me and I met her half way. She stuck her semen-coated tongue in my mouth and I sucked it clean. She quickly moved over to Luke and gave his the rest of his load. When she finished, she dropped down on the bed between us, her face buried in the pillow, her beautiful ass in the air. She started making muffled noises and at first I thought she was crying. I soon realized she was laughing like mad.

The next morning, Kavan and Arial found the three of us still asleep, all tangled up together in our bed. They pulled arms and legs until we got up and helped them with breakfast. All they wanted was milk and cereal and I wondered why the hell couldnt they have fixed it themselves.

<><><>

The three of us had a lot to talk about over the next few days. I asked Luke not to try to do anything with Siobhan when I wasnt home. I explained that we had always been open and honest with each other and I didnt want there be any secrets between us. He thought for a few minutes and said he understood. 

Perhaps you and Siobhan could schedule a refresher lesson for me some time soon. I might forget some of the points of my first lesson.

He got more than one refresher lesson and Siobhan and I even introduced him to a few new points on the same subjects. He was a joy to have in the house until Thanksgiving.
